Primordial Era: From the Creation Lotus to the First Disciple of the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 107 The Sage's Dojo, Nuwa Palace

Nuwa was surrounded by holy radiance, and the runes of the Great Dao were constantly being created and destroyed, thus she had achieved the supreme holy position of the Great Dao.

Its holy might was magnificent, yet not aggressive; rather, it was like a gentle spring breeze and nourishing rain, warm and vast, quietly bestowing blessings upon countless living beings in the primordial world, calming the restless heaven and earth.

She lowered her eyes, her gaze falling on the valley below. The more than ten thousand newly born humans, with clear eyes, yet bewildered and fearful, huddled together, radiating a faint yet incredibly pure and vibrant life force, like the tenderest seedlings of early spring.

Compassion arises naturally from the sacred heart.

Although the valley here is temporarily peaceful and serene due to the lingering effects of her sainthood, Buzhou Mountain is the core ancestral land of the Wu tribe, and an unavoidable focal point of the future Wu-Demon decisive battle. It is filled with malevolent energy and entangled with calamity, making it a place where this newly born and weak tribe can not stay for long.

With a gentle wave of her hand, a holy power, soft yet overwhelming and containing the supreme technique of spatial teleportation, emanated out, like a warm tide, gently enveloping all of humanity.

In the next instant, the rules of space were silently rewritten, stars shifted and constellations changed, and the figures of more than 10,000 humans blurred in an instant, having been safely transported to the far east of the primordial world, to the vast coastal plains far from the flames of war at Buzhou Mountain, adjacent to the vast East Sea, where the scenery was relatively peaceful and fertile.

This place is full of spiritual energy, with abundant water and soil, thriving vegetation, and docile beasts, making it a suitable place for the human race to initially reproduce, thrive, and take root in the world.

Just as Nuwa was about to use her divine powers again to lay out even more comprehensive protection for the human race.

A cold, vast, and supreme thought descended from the depths of the void, penetrating her sacred heart with unparalleled clarity—it was the direct decree of the Primordial Heavenly Dao.

She was ordered to immediately go to the primordial chaos beyond the heavens to establish a sacred place for the saints, and was no longer allowed to remain in the primordial land in her true form, thus disrupting the natural order of heaven and earth.

Nuwa frowned slightly. Although she had attained the status of a Great Dao Saint, transcending the shackles of the Heavenly Dao.

However, its physical form still manifests in the primordial world, and the human race it created is also rooted in the primordial land, absorbing spiritual energy, bearing the consequences of karma, and having an inextricable connection with the Heavenly Dao, which cannot be completely severed. It cannot completely ignore this rule and decree originating from the origin of the world.

Without further hesitation, her gaze sharpened. Her jade fingers formed a profound incantation, drawing upon her own sacred power and mixing it with the boundless mysteries of creation. Connecting with the earth's veins and drawing upon starlight, she laid out an extremely complex, powerful, and near-perfect protective array in the void surrounding the newly formed settlement of the human race.

This formation combines absolute defense, void concealment, gathering of spiritual energy, and mental alertness into one, with each link interconnected and endlessly regenerating. It is extremely difficult to shake even the slightest bit unless a saint personally arrives or several top quasi-saints join forces to launch a fierce attack at any cost.

The array's light swirled rapidly, flickering nine times. After absorbing the boundless innate spiritual energy, it finally vanished completely into the void dimension without a trace. Even ordinary powerful beings could hardly detect its existence when their divine sense swept over it.

Immediately afterwards, her clear and majestic voice, containing supreme holy might and an unquestionable will, resounded throughout the entire primordial world, clearly entering the minds and consciousness of every powerful being and even many strong creatures: "I am Nuwa, who has now attained the Dao of Hunyuan and achieved the position of saint. On the shores of the East Sea, I created a race called Human."

This race is newly born and weak, born of nature, and should not be involved in worldly conflicts.

I hereby decree: From this day forward, for ten thousand years, all spirits of the primordial world, regardless of whether they are witches, demons, gods, monsters, or immortals...

Ghosts must not actively harm humans!

Those who break this oath will disobey the Holy Will and interfere with the natural order and morality of creation. Even if I am beyond the heavens, I will sense it and personally descend to punish them, annihilating their body and soul, and condemning them to eternal damnation!

The sacred sound was vast and resounding, as if the most fundamental rules were inscribed into the laws of heaven and earth, carrying the absolute majesty of the Great Dao Saint.

Throughout the primordial world, countless powerful beings were shaken to their core, turning their gazes and divine thoughts toward the shores of the East Sea. Some were surprised, some puzzled, and some deep in thought, all remembering the weak race called "humans" in their hearts.

Even though they didn't understand why the sage valued such faint newborn spirits so much, the sage's will was as clear as the heavens, and no one dared to question it at this moment.

Even the rampant and expanding Lich Wars subconsciously avoided the area marked by the Holy Might.

Having done all this, Nuwa turned her gaze to Qinglian, who had been standing quietly to the side, comprehending the sacred power and Daoist essence. Her tone softened: "Nephew Qinglian, I must immediately travel to the primordial chaos beyond the heavens to establish a sacred Daoist temple, in accordance with the will of Heaven. Would you be willing to accompany me to witness the ceremony?"

Upon hearing this, Qinglian was first startled, then overwhelmed with indescribable excitement.

To witness a sage establish a sacred space and evolve heaven and earth in the endless chaos is an unprecedented event since the beginning of time, containing unparalleled opportunities and a dream come true for any cultivator!

He immediately suppressed his emotions and bowed respectfully, saying, "I am deeply honored by your kindness, Uncle-Master, and I wish to accompany you to witness the ceremony!"

Nuwa nodded slightly and said no more.

A holy radiance flashed around him, and the gentle Daoist rhyme swirled around the blue lotus, instantly transforming it into a stream of light that transcended the boundaries of time and space. It easily broke through the incredibly solid membrane of the primordial world and stepped into the boundless, violent, chaotic, and all-dissolving primordial chaos.

True chaos is devoid of light and darkness, without up, down, left, right, past, or future; it is only filled with the eternally howling chaotic currents that can assimilate all things, and the terrifying turbulent currents that erupt from time to time, capable of annihilating even the physical bodies of Great Luo Golden Immortals.

However, all of this was calmed, tamed, and stabilized under the natural and boundless holy light emanating from the Goddess Nuwa, creating an eternal pure land.

She did not immediately begin to create chaos, but stood quietly in the chaos, as if waiting. After a moment, streaks of brilliant light from the depths of the chaos pierced through the chaos and rushed towards them.

It was the Three Pure Ones who came together. Taiqing Laozi was indifferent and detached, Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun was majestic and dignified, and Shangqing Tongtian Jiaozhu was full of sword intent.

When they saw the blue lotus standing quietly beside Nuwa, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of Yuanshi and Tongtian, while Laozi remained calm and nodded slightly, indicating that he had met her before.

They only knew that Qinglian had gone to discuss the Dao, but they never expected that she would witness the entire earth-shattering event of creating humans and becoming saints, and that Nuwa herself would bring her to the Chaos to witness the ceremony. Such a predestined fate was truly extraordinary.

Immediately afterwards, golden light surged from the west, and the two Daoists, Jieyin and Zhunti, rushed over, their faces bearing their usual expressions of suffering. Their gazes toward Nuwa were filled with undisguised envy and an extremely complex mix of emotions.

Subsequently, the Demon Emperor Jun, Donghuang Taiyi, Xihuang Fuxi (who had withdrawn from the Heavenly Court battlefield), Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of earth immortals, and Styx Ancestor, the lord of the Blood Sea, and other top prehistoric beings also tore through the chaos and appeared here one after another. Each occupied a part of the void, with solemn and dignified expressions, preparing to witness this supreme event of a sage opening a Daoist temple for the first time since the creation of heaven and earth.

Many powerful beings were astonished to see Qinglian standing safely beside the Sage Nuwa, closest to her. They secretly wondered just how close this young man's relationship with the Sage Nuwa was to deserve such an honor. However, with the Sage in front of them, exuding immense majesty, no one dared to ask aloud, and could only suppress their thoughts.

Seeing that most of the guests had arrived, Nuwa said no more.

With a single step, she seemed to traverse endless dimensions, arriving at the center of the chaotic void. She gently raised her slender hand, and a stream of light flew out from her auspicious cloud. It grew as soon as it saw the wind, transforming into a huge treasure map that covered the endless chaotic region. Embroidered on it were the vast mountains and rivers of the primordial world, boundless splendor, and the changes of the nation. It was the innate spiritual treasure - the Map of Mountains and Rivers!

As the treasure map unfolded, boundless light shot forth, instantly freezing the earth, water, fire, and wind, and calming the chaos for thousands of miles!

Immediately, she pointed her fingers like a sword and made a seemingly casual, light slash towards the endless churning chaos ahead!

There was no earth-shattering roar as expected, only a subtle hum that seemed to touch the very source of the Great Dao and redefine its laws!

A divine light of creation, whose brilliance, sharpness, and mystery defy description, emanated from his fingertips, like the first primordial light that pierced the heavens and earth and gave birth to the universe, instantly tearing apart the boundless, eternally silent chaos!

The pure and turbid energies naturally separated, Yin and Yang were initially distinguished, and the mysterious and yellow energies were separated!

The four primordial elements of earth, water, fire, and wind surged and roared wildly, but were forcibly restrained, sorted, and shaped by the supreme power of the Mountain and River Map and the unparalleled sage power of the Goddess Nuwa!

A nascent, rapidly expanding and evolving universe was created and shaped from nothingness within this endless chaos, right under the palm of the goddess Nuwa!

The process may seem effortless and leisurely, but in reality, every moment contains the supreme power of creation and the ultimate application of the fundamental laws of the Great Dao, reaching the pinnacle of subtlety.

All the powerful beings watching were dazzled and shocked. Countless insights surged into their minds from the depths of their primordial spirits, and their previous barriers to cultivation even showed signs of loosening!

The Three Pure Ones, in particular, witnessed this scene, their eyes flashed with brilliance, and their creation mark spontaneously activated, comparing and contrasting the scene of Nuwa's creation with the scene of Pangu's creation that they inherited. The gains were immeasurable.

Qinglian further activated her own Origin Tenth Grade Creation Qinglian with all her might.

The illusory image of the twelve-petaled lotus platform appeared and disappeared behind him. He frantically absorbed, comprehended, and analyzed every bit of the profound mystery of creation contained within it. He felt as if his vision had suddenly become clear, and many obscure things from the past were easily resolved. His cultivation was increasing and improving at an alarming rate.

Chaos is timeless; no one knows how much time has passed—perhaps a moment, perhaps ten thousand years.

A small world, though far smaller than one ten-millionth the size of the primordial world, was already fully formed. It was pure, peaceful, and naturally imbued with the Dao, with its own mysterious laws at work.

The majestic immortal mountain stands tall, the spiritual spring flows gently, and the magnificent palaces and pavilions are naturally formed against the mountain and beside the water, with rays of light and auspicious colors everywhere.

With another wave of her hand, Nuwa conjured up countless phantom images of exotic flowers, rare herbs, immortal roots, spiritual trees, and rare birds and beasts, which then quickly solidified and adorned the scene, instantly filling this world with vitality and life.

Furthermore, a magnificent, ancient, and solemn palace is formed by the gathering of boundless spiritual energy atop the highest immortal mountain in the center. Three Dao runes containing supreme Dao charm naturally appear on the plaque: Nuwa Palace!

The sacred site of the sage is now complete!
