Primordial Era: Cultivation level equals the sum of the Jie Sect's total; the Three Pure Ones a

"Buzz!"

On the eastern horizon, the void that had been revealed by the Primordial Celestial Venerable suddenly rippled.

Boundless divine light surged forth from the void, a thousand auspicious rays and gathering clouds.

Amidst the celestial light, a graceful figure slowly solidified.

She was dressed in a seven-colored robe, her long hair cascading down like a waterfall, and she was surrounded by the Daoist aura of creation and decay. Her face was exquisitely beautiful, yet she carried an air of indifference.

It was none other than the Holy Mother of the Human Race, the Queen of the Demon Race, and the Heavenly Saint Nuwa!

As soon as she appeared, she did not immediately look at Yuanshi Tianzun, nor did she look at the hundreds of millions of humans below.

Those eyes, which held the secrets of creation and reincarnation, calmly swept over Laozi, then over the solemn-faced Yuanshi.

Finally, it landed atop the altar, upon that figure in fluttering blue robes.

Eyes facing each other.

Xuan could clearly sense that there was neither hostility nor affection in that gaze.

There is only a kind of indifference that overlooks eternity and transcends worldly affairs.

Nuwa's gaze lingered on him for a moment before shifting away.

She did not speak immediately, but stood quietly on the auspicious cloud, her body surrounded by the celestial light of creation, subtly confronting Lao Tzu's Daoist philosophy of non-action and the primordial Jade Purity celestial light.

The auras of the three saints intertwined, the void wailed, and the rules were disrupted.

The entire coastline of the East China Sea seems to be divided by three distinct yet equally supreme divine powers!

The billions of humans below were completely dumbfounded.

The three ancestors, Suiren, Youchao, and Ziyi, gazed at the seven-colored figure in the sky, their eyes instantly turning red, and tears streaming down their faces.

That was the Virgin Mary who created them!

It is the source of their faith for countless years!

But at this moment, a complex and indescribable emotion welled up in their hearts.

There was excitement, there was awe, and even more... a trace of overwhelming sorrow.

Why...why didn't the Holy Mother appear when the demons were slaughtering them?

Why did the Virgin Mary not show mercy to them when they were struggling in despair?

Why was it that when Master Xuandu was risking his life to save them, the Holy Mother was forced out by the Primordial Saint?

Could it be, as Master Xuandu said, that the Holy Mother created them only to accumulate merit and achieve sainthood?

Once one becomes a saint, one discards it like worn-out shoes.

This thought arose in the minds of the three ancestors and countless clansmen.

On the altar, Xuan Du stood solemnly.

Nuwa was eventually forced out by Yuanshi.

The attitude of this Virgin Mary will directly determine the final outcome of today's situation!

If she also sides with Laozi and Yuanshi, the three sages will exert pressure together...

Even with the support of the Tongtian Master, there is absolutely no way he could pass on the Dharma to the human race!

They themselves might even be in danger!

Just as Xuandu's mind raced, pondering a solution...

Nuwa finally spoke slowly.

The sound was clear and resonant, echoing deep within the hearts of every living being.

"Senior Brother Yuanshi."

She ignored Xuandu and did not look down at the human race below, her gaze calmly fixed on the face of Yuanshi Tianzun.

"What you just said involves too much causal relationship."

Nuwa's tone was flat, revealing neither joy nor anger.

"I am the Holy Mother of Humanity. The grace of creation and the merit of my sainthood are ordained by Heaven."

"The rise and fall of the human race is governed by destiny. Although I am a holy mother, I cannot forcibly interfere with the will of Heaven."

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun frowned slightly, and Laozi's eyes flickered.

The humans below felt a chill run down their spines.

Is the Virgin Mary trying to distance herself from the situation?

Nuwa paused slightly, then abruptly changed the subject!

Her gaze suddenly shifted to Xuandu, then swept over the billions of eyes below, her voice carrying an undeniable air of authority:

"but."

"What Xuandu said just now makes sense."

"The Dao Ancestor preached to three thousand guests at Zixiao Palace, teaching them the method of severing the three corpses and becoming a saint. We all listened attentively and eventually cultivated ourselves, which is why we have our saintly positions today."

Nuwa's gaze was deep as she looked at Yuanshi, each word clear and distinct:

"It is only natural and proper for the Taoist patriarch to pass on his teachings to his disciples."

"Since Xuandu has already taken hundreds of millions of humans as his disciples, the master-disciple relationship is already established."

"So..."

She paused slightly, and as Yuanshi's expression suddenly turned grim, she slowly uttered the last sentence:

"He imparted his skills to his disciples, aided their cultivation, and protected their path..."

"What is the essential difference between this and the Daoist patriarch transmitting the Dharma to us back then?"

"This is..."

Nuwa's voice suddenly rose, carrying the supreme majesty of a Heavenly Sage whose words were law:

"The tradition of teacher-student relationship! The natural order and ethical principles!"

"How can we allow others to question us?"

"boom!!!"

These words resonated deeply within the minds of every powerful being who was watching this place!

In Biyou Palace, the Tongtian Sect Leader was first taken aback, then clapped his hands and laughed loudly, his voice shaking the palace:

"Good! Well said! The tradition of teacher-student relationship! The natural order and ethical norms! Hahaha!"

If he hadn't been wary of the Dao Ancestor's previous attitude, he would have shown himself long ago.

It seems that this matter can be resolved without my intervention.

The face of the Primordial Celestial Venerable instantly turned ashen!

The auspicious clouds in the heavens trembled violently, and the auspicious energy became disordered, revealing the boundless rage in the master's heart!

He never expected this!

Contrary to his expectations, Nuwa did not stand with him and his elder brother to suppress Xuandu.

On the contrary... on the contrary, they used Xuan Du's previous question to turn the tables on him!

This elevates Xuandu's act of transmitting the Dharma to the human race to the same level as the Dao Ancestor's transmission of the Dao!

They even slapped on the two big labels of teacher-student inheritance and the natural order and ethics!

How can this be refuted?

Can we deny that the Dao Ancestor transmitted the Dao?

Can we deny that the master-disciple tradition is an immutable law?

The Primordial Celestial Venerable's chest heaved violently, and the Jade Purity Immortal Light around his body surged wildly, almost bursting out of control!

Beside him, Lao Tzu's eyes, which had been closed the whole time, finally slowly opened.

He gave Nuwa a deep look, the depth of his gaze revealing a stronger sense of deduction, yet he remained silent.

Nuwa's actions, seemingly supporting Xuandu, were actually... a way to extricate herself from a predicament!

Yuanshi dragged her into the mess, forcing her to make a statement.

If she opposes Xuandu's transmission of the Dharma, she will be betraying the human race and undermining the foundation of her own holy position.

If she supports Xuandu's propagation of the Dharma, she will offend Yuanshi and may even affect her relationship with Laozi.

So she chose the most ingenious method.

Use the spear of Xuandu to attack the shield of Yuanshi!

Didn't you bring up the Taoist patriarch?

Then I'll go along with what you said!

If the Dao Ancestor can pass on the Dharma to his disciples, then Xuandu can naturally do the same!

This is a matter of course, and it is the proper order of teachers and students!

In this way, she neither explicitly opposed Xuandu nor violated her karmic connection with the human race.

He did not directly support Xuandu, thus avoiding a complete confrontation with Yuanshi and Laozi.

Furthermore, it brought all the points of contention back to the relationship between Xuandu and Yuanshi and Laozi!

clever!

That's brilliant!

As expected of Nuwa, who attained sainthood through the Way of Creation, her grasp and utilization of cause and effect has reached its pinnacle!

At the top of the altar.

Xuan Du was also shaken, and his gaze toward Nuwa instantly became incredibly complex.

He never expected that this human saint would come to his rescue in this way at this moment.

No.

Rather than trying to help him out of a predicament, she was actually trying to help herself out of a predicament.

Nuwa created the human race, but some humans were also blessed with good fortune.

Xuandu's teachings will make the human race stronger, which will naturally bring more benefits to Nuwa.

After all, she created the human race, so whether or not Xuandu passed on his teachings had no impact on her, unlike Laozi, who was the leader of the Human Cult.

In any case, Nuwa's words undoubtedly gave him an excellent way out!

An opportunity that could break the deadlock and allow him to successfully transmit the Dharma to the human race!

Xuan Du took a deep breath, suppressing the turbulent thoughts in his mind.

He knew the time had come!

We can no longer give Yuanshi and Laozi a chance to react!

We must seize this opportunity to make a final decision!
