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

Chapter 75 Nuwa's Proclamation of a Heavenly Marriage

At the summit of Kunlun Mountain, the lingering Taoist aura within the Sanqing Palace had not yet completely dissipated. Qinglian was still immersed in the profound mysteries of the Quasi-Saint's path of severing the corpse, carefully comprehending the supreme truth contained in every word her master had spoken.

Meanwhile, far away at Buzhou Mountain, another future sage, imbued with primordial purple energy, also encountered a crucial opportunity on his path to enlightenment.

After returning from her Daoist discussions at Kunlun, the Goddess Nuwa felt a sense of enlightenment and began to cultivate in seclusion within her palace, trying to comprehend the Primordial Purple Qi and the Great Dao of Creation within herself, in an attempt to find a sliver of opportunity to attain sainthood.

On this day, she was holding the innate spiritual treasure, the Red Embroidered Ball, bestowed by the Dao Ancestor, which was surrounded by red light and contained the wonders of marriage. She was immersed in it, comprehending the great laws of "fate," "love," and "unity" within it.

The red embroidered ball slowly rotated in her palm, its surface shimmering with rosy light. Countless fine, intricate red threads, symbolizing entanglements in marriage, appeared and disappeared, as if connected to the emotions and fortunes of all living beings in the primordial world.

Nuwa's divine senses traced and comprehended these threads of fate, and in a trance, she seemed to see the instinctive attraction and intercourse of Yin and Yang in the primordial world, and the most fundamental power of "combination" and "reproduction" behind the birth and death of all things.

This is not simply a matter of romantic love between a man and a woman, but a deeper, grander law concerning the order of heaven and earth, the continuation of life, and the entanglement of cause and effect! It is an indispensable part of the way of creation!

Suddenly, the red embroidered ball shone brightly, and a sudden realization welled up in Nuwa's heart like a clear spring!

She saw the mission of this treasure, and also saw the direction for her own path of creation to go further—to establish the three marriages of Heaven, Earth and Man, to set the order of marriage in the primordial world, to complete creation, to harmonize Yin and Yang, and to have immeasurable merit!

"Heavenly marriage—Earthly marriage—Human marriage—"

Nuwa murmured to herself, her beautiful eyes bursting with dazzling divine light of creation, "Those who are married by heaven should be the exemplars of the primordial world, the epitome of the harmony of yin and yang, attracting the attention of the Heavenly Dao, their merits are the greatest!"

So, in this vast and ancient world, who is most suitable to be the role model for this "heavenly marriage"?

Almost instantly, two names clearly appeared in her mind: Di Jun and Xi He, Tai Yi and Chang Xi!

Di Jun and Tai Yi are innate deities born from the Sun Star, the embodiment of the ultimate Yang body. They wield the true fire of the sun, rule the Heavenly Court of the demon race, and enjoy a lofty status and abundant fortune!

Xihe and Changxi are innate goddesses born from the Taiyin star, the embodiment of the ultimate Yin body. They wield the Taiyin True Water, are serene and pure. Although they do not often travel in the prehistoric world, they are top female immortals who have severed their two corpses, and their cultivation is unfathomable!

Pure Yang and Pure Yin, the sun and the moon, are the two most extreme and complementary primordial forces in the primordial world. Their combination is not only a match of identities, but also a harmony of the Great Dao. The union of Yin and Yang is in accordance with the Dao of Heaven!

If this marriage can be brought together, as the beginning of a "heavenly marriage," it will surely attract the divine response to the greatest extent and bestow immeasurable merit!

"Excellent! This is the will of Heaven!" Nuwa made up her mind and no longer hesitated.

She tidied her appearance, transformed into a streak of light, left Nuwa Palace, and headed towards the magnificent Heavenly Court of the Demon Race, which stood atop the Thirty-Three Heavens.

The Heavenly Court of the Demon Clan, the Lingxiao Palace.

Emperor Jun sat high on his throne, discussing with a group of demon saints how to deal with the witch clan and how to further expand the demon clan's power, his brows furrowed. The pressure of the Great Tribulation hung over the entire Heavenly Court like dark clouds.

Suddenly, a demon god rushed into the hall and respectfully reported, "Your Majesty, the Goddess Nuwa of the Nuwa Palace has arrived outside the Southern Heavenly Gate and wishes to see you!"

"Goddess Nuwa?" Upon hearing this, Di Jun's tightly furrowed brows immediately relaxed, and a glint of shrewdness and anticipation flashed in his eyes!

Nuwa was the future sage appointed by the Dao Ancestor, possessing the Primordial Purple Qi, and her brother Fuxi was also a top-level powerhouse.

If we could gain her support, or even have her join the demon race, it would undoubtedly be a tremendous help to the demon race! Even if we couldn't, befriending her would be entirely beneficial.

"Quickly! Prepare the carriage! I will personally go to greet you!" Emperor Jun immediately stood up, straightened his magnificent imperial robes, and led a group of demon gods to personally greet them.

Outside the South Heavenly Gate, auspicious clouds paved the way, and celestial music drifted faintly. The goddess Nuwa, with a human body and a snake tail, dressed in palace attire, exuded a divine aura of creation, both holy and majestic.

"I was unaware of Your Majesty's arrival. I, Dijun, have failed to greet you properly. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!" Dijun said with a smile, his attitude extremely polite, even showing a hint of respect.

Nuwa nodded slightly, her voice gentle and ethereal: "Your Majesty the Demon Emperor is too kind. It is Nuwa who has been presumptuous to visit you."

After exchanging greetings, Di Jun welcomed Nuwa into the Lingxiao Palace, presented her with the highest-grade spiritual fruits and immortal wine, dismissed his attendants, and left only a few trusted demon saints to accompany her.

"I wonder what brings Your Majesty to the Heavenly Court this time? If there is anything that can be done for our demon race, Your Majesty, please give the order, and Di Jun will do his utmost." Di Jun got straight to the point, expressing his goodwill.

Nuwa smiled slightly, took out a red embroidered ball, on which flowed a red light of marriage, exuding extraordinary Taoist charm.

"To be honest, Your Majesty, Nuwa recently comprehended the spiritual treasure bestowed upon her by the Dao Ancestor and understood the Great Dao of marriage contained within it. She also received divine revelation and wishes to establish the three marriages of Heaven, Earth, and Man in order to establish the Yin-Yang order of the primordial world and to straighten out the cause and effect of the love and relationships of all beings."

This is an act that completes creation and benefits heaven and earth; at that time, the heavens will bestow merit upon you.

"Establishing three marriages? A meritorious act according to Heaven's will?"

Di Jun's eyes gleamed! Merit was a precious thing! It could not only improve cultivation but also enhance one's fortune! Especially for the entire Demon Clan Heavenly Court, fortune was of paramount importance!

"However, a celestial marriage is the foremost of the three types of marriages. It requires finding a Daoist partner in the primordial world who is most compatible with the principles of Yin and Yang and can serve as a model for all living beings, in order to maximize the chances of gaining the approval of the Heavenly Dao."

Nuwa's gaze fell on Dijun, and she continued, "After much deliberation, throughout the entire primordial world, I believe that Your Majesty and the goddess Xihe of the Moon, and Your Majesty the Eastern Emperor and the goddess Changxi of the Moon, are the most suitable!"

"Your Majesty and the Eastern Emperor are the supreme beings of the sun, the embodiment of pure Yang; the goddesses Xihe and Changxi are the lords of the moon, the embodiment of pure Yin. Sun and moon, pure Yang and pure Yin, this is the most perfect harmony of the Heavenly Way!"

"If Your Majesties could become Daoist partners with the two goddesses and hold a celestial marriage, it would not only be a match made in heaven, but also in accordance with the will of Heaven, greatly benefiting Your Majesties' cultivation and the fortunes of the demon race! What do Your Majesties think?"

Nuwa's words were like a boulder thrown into Dijun's heart lake, stirring up a monstrous wave!

To become Daoist partners with Xihe?

The image of that aloof and beautiful figure residing in the Guanghan Palace instantly appeared in Di Jun's mind.

He did indeed meet Xihe several times, except for a few times in the Zixiao Palace, all because of the convergence of the power of the sun and the moon.

Each time they meet, the primal forces of yang and yin on both sides generate an indescribable attraction and resonance, as if they were meant to become one.

He had indeed long harbored a special affection and admiration for the aloof and noble moon goddess, but as the demon emperor, he was busy with affairs and the great calamity was imminent, so he had never explicitly expressed it.

Moreover, Xihe and Changxi are both top-tier quasi-saints who have severed their two corpses, and their strength is formidable. If it weren't for the attraction between their origins, he would not have allowed them to monopolize the Taiyin Star, which is of vital importance to the demon race (the power of the Taiyin Star is crucial for the cultivation of many demons).

Now that the Goddess Nuwa has personally come to act as matchmaker, and has even stated that this matter concerns the merits of Heaven and the fortunes of the demon race, this is simply a golden opportunity! A win-win situation!
