Primordial Era: Refusing Hongjun's path to sainthood, I attained the Dao of Hunyuan.

Chapter 97 Creating Man

Xuanhuang paused for a moment, then said, "I'm just telling the truth."

Nuwa was speechless upon hearing this. After a moment, she thought for a moment and said, "Fine, although I don't know why Sister Xihua would take a liking to you, Junior Brother, you blockhead, since that's the case, then as your senior sister, how about I test you?"

Xuanhuang shook his head again, saying, "Although there is an order of entry into the sect, I'm afraid it's not enough for Senior Sister to test me. How about we discuss the Dao instead?"

Nuwa choked again, but could only nod and say, "Then let's discuss the Dao."

Xuanhuang chuckled and said, "Senior Sister, don't take it too seriously. I was just teasing you. But since we haven't seen each other for so many years, it's time for us to discuss the Dao."

"After all, after this discussion, the next one will probably be after we have attained enlightenment."

After saying this, Xuanhuang didn't wait for Nuwa's reaction. He gently tapped the top of his head, and a cloud of auspicious clouds appeared from it.

Qingyun is about an acre in size.

However, unlike the auspicious clouds of the past, the auspicious clouds that Xuanhuang presented this time were covered with streaks of purplish-black light, radiating an extremely terrifying aura of destruction.

"This is……"

Nuwa was startled when she saw the auspicious clouds manifested by Xuanhuang, and blurted out, "The Path of Destruction?"

"Um."

Xuanhuang nodded and said, "Recently, my cultivation has reached its limit. The next step is to attain the Primordial Dao, but this step is not so easy to cross."

"So in my spare time, I pondered the path of destruction and gained some insights. Since you've come here by chance, Senior Sister, it's a good opportunity to discuss it with you."

Nuwa calmed down upon hearing this and smiled, "That's not bad. Junior brother, you have comprehended the Dao of Destruction, while I cultivate the Dao of Creation. Destruction and creation are exactly opposites."

"I've recently grasped the essence of creation, but I've reached a bottleneck. This exchange with you might actually be beneficial."

After saying this, auspicious clouds of creation appeared above Nuwa's head, which were indeed completely opposite in nature to Xuanhuang's auspicious clouds of destruction.

Yet, there is a strange connection between them; destruction and creation are opposites, yet they are also yin and yang.

The two discussed the Dao without speaking, only revealing auspicious clouds. They communicated purely through Daoist rhymes, with strands of the Great Dao Laws permeating, intertwining, and colliding in the void. This kind of discussion was profound and mysterious, yet much more direct.

As the two discussed the Dao, several hundred years passed in the blink of an eye. Suddenly, the auspicious cloud above Xuanhuang's head trembled slightly, and he opened his eyes, thus ending their discussion.

After Xuanhuang stopped, Nuwa, on the other hand, seemed rather unsatisfied. After a while, she put away Qingyun and opened her eyes.

Nuwa clearly benefited greatly from this discussion, and her understanding of the Way of Creation deepened considerably.

Therefore, after waking up, Nuwa said to Xuanhuang, "I really have to thank you, Junior Brother, this time."

"Your path of destruction is indeed of great benefit to my path of creation."

Xuanhuang laughed and said, "Senior Sister, what are you saying? Discussing the Dao with each other is a mutually beneficial thing."

"Moreover, the great paths lead to the same destination. The path of creation and the path of destruction, though one is positive and the other negative, are inextricably linked. Without destruction, there is no creation; without creation, there is no destruction."

"Senior Sister's cultivation has improved, and I have also gained a lot of insights. Since Senior Sister is thanking me, then I should also thank Senior Sister."

As he spoke, Xuanhuang took out the Three Lights Divine Water and the Nine Heavens Breath Soil from his sleeve and presented them to Nuwa.

Nuwa was both surprised and puzzled when she saw that it was the Three Lights Divine Water and the Nine Heavens Breath Soil.

Just as he was about to ask a question.

Xuanhuang then said, "This gourd is the result of the gourd vine growing twice, but it is much inferior to the first one. I will give this one to my senior sister."

"As for the Three Lights Divine Water and the Nine Heavens Breath Soil, these two are related to Senior Sister's attainment of Dao, so Senior Sister can accept them."

"What?"

Nuwa was immediately shocked. "Is it related to my attainment of enlightenment?" As soon as she said this, Nuwa felt the primordial purple energy in her sea of ​​consciousness tremble.

In an instant, Nuwa seemed to grasp some of the secrets of heaven, and people gradually calmed down.

After a while, Nuwa took a deep breath and looked at Xuanhuang, saying, "I didn't expect that my junior brother's understanding of the Heavenly Dao and his profound cultivation would reach such a level. He even understands his own opportunity to attain the Dao better than I do."

Xuanhuang shook his head and said, "It's just a matter of fate, and the will of Heaven is predetermined. Senior Sister may go on her own; I will not see her off."

Nuwa's gaze was slightly complicated. She stood up and said, "No matter what, if I succeed in attaining enlightenment, I will owe you this favor, Junior Brother. I thank you in advance."

After saying this, Nuwa bowed halfway to Xuanhuang before turning and walking outside.

Xuanhuang watched her retreating figure, then summoned two attendants, Xuanyu and Huangyu, and instructed them to escort Nuwa off the island.

After Nuwa left the island, Xuanhuang sighed and returned to the gourd vine to continue catching insects for it.

"Nuwa is about to attain enlightenment, but when will I be able to? And what about the human race..." Xuanhuang's thoughts were scattered, and various ideas kept flashing through his mind.

Finally, however, things returned to calm.

"My past lives are like dreams and illusions, and this life, though also like a dream, is precisely what I pursue. I have already decided how to choose between them."

Xuanhuang calmed down and stopped caring about how Nuwa created humans. After catching the insects for the gourd vine, he sat down cross-legged under the gourd vine trellis.

A gentle breeze blows.

Xuanhuang sat cross-legged on the ground, yet his whole being seemed to be one with heaven and earth, with the universe, with the void, and with all things.

A state of profound mystery, seeking to comprehend and explore the boundless Great Dao.

Meanwhile, Nuwa, after leaving Yingzhou Island, was not at peace with herself.

It was a mix of joy and excitement, but also some hesitation and uncertainty.

But in the end, it all turned into unwavering resolve.

"Even after becoming a saint, it is still difficult to change the will of Heaven. Even a saint must act according to the mandate of Heaven. But after all, one is no longer an ant. Let's first prove the Dao and then talk about it."

Nuwa silently roused herself and returned to the primordial land. She stopped near the East Sea.

Nuwa sat down cross-legged here and meditated for another hundred years, until she had fully understood her own destiny of enlightenment.

She took out the Three Lights Divine Water and the Nine Heavens Breath Soil given to her by Xuanhuang, then mixed the two together and kneaded them into mud.

Then, following the shape of the innate Dao body, two little figures were quickly sculpted, one male and one female, to correspond to Yin and Yang.

Then, Nuwa used her power of creation to inject two streams of creative energy into the bodies of the two little people.

Instantly, the two little figures seemed to grow larger in the wind, transforming into flesh and blood and coming to life.

And so, two innate human races were born.

"boom!"

At the same time, Nuwa felt the primordial purple energy in her mind tremble violently and shine brightly.

Not only that, the surrounding heaven and earth seemed to tremble, and then merits were bestowed from the darkness.

The silent and colorless merit floated in the void above Nuwa's head, seemingly waiting for something.

This merit was not much, but it brought a smile to Nuwa's face. Creating humans and making them saints was indeed the path she was meant to take.

However, he is only at the mid-stage of the Quasi-Saint realm, having severed two corpses, and he is about to directly cross realms and prove himself to become a Saint?

Nuwa didn't think much of it and continued to mold clay figures, pairing each male and female together. In this way, she created a total of 129,600 primordial humans.

This perfectly matches the number of the One. Having created so many innate humans, Nuwa couldn't help but feel somewhat tired.

I'll post two chapters for now, but I have some things to take care of in real life. I'll write three more chapters tonight.
