Primordial Era: Mistakenly Taking Emperor Xin as Father, Nuwa is Destroyed at the Start

On the other end.

Li Xuan was lying on a bamboo chair in the courtyard, basking in the warm sun. He was so comfortable that he almost fell asleep.

Suddenly, a crisp "ding" sounded in my mind, and the system notification popped up again.

[Ding! Detected that the host has once again helped a 'family member' fulfill a long-cherished wish. Reward being distributed...]

[Congratulations, host! You have received the following rewards: The Legend of the Ruthless One in Shrouding the Heavens! The Legend of the Heavenly Emperor with the Dragon Talisman! Your cabin's defenses have been reinforced once!]

Upon hearing this, Li Xuan was initially delighted.

Another reward!

But when he saw what the reward was, his face immediately fell.

"Another comic book?" Li Xuan couldn't help but mutter to himself, feeling a little uneasy.

"It's not that comic books are bad, but what's the point of constantly giving them these?"

"Can't you give me some powerful cultivation techniques? Like flying and teleporting! I want to be an immortal too!"

He became increasingly frustrated, feeling that the system was somewhat unreliable.

However, Li Xuan was not willing to give up.

He was thinking that he hadn't checked in yet today, and what if he got a good reward for checking in?

"System, sign in!" he immediately muttered to himself.

[Ding! Check-in successful!]

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained: one plum sapling!]

Li Xuan: "..."

He felt so angry he was about to burst.

"Fine, fine, fine!" He cursed the air inwardly.

"Damn system, haven't you had enough of messing with me yet? Here's a broken tree for you?"

"Great, you're really something!"

Despite his cursing, Li Xuan knew he couldn't do anything about the system.

He was seething with anger, with nowhere to vent it.

Li Xuan angrily raised his foot and kicked the broken tree that the system had just moved in and was standing in the yard.

After venting his anger, he picked up the wooden sword that was lying next to him, turned around and walked out of the courtyard.

He needs to go out for some fresh air, find a tree to chop down, and vent his anger.

Su Daji had just come out of the house when she saw Li Xuan storming out with a wooden sword in his hand.

She quickly took two steps forward and asked, "Young master, where are you going?"

Her voice was soft, tinged with worry.

Li Xuan didn't even turn his head; he simply waved his hand.

"It's nothing, I just felt stuffy inside, so I went out for a walk to clear my head."

His tone was a bit sharp, but he was still relatively restrained.

After saying that, he pushed open the courtyard gate and went out.

This person's back view doesn't show any airs of superiority; he's just an ordinary person throwing a tantrum.

Su Daji stood at the gate of the courtyard, watching Li Xuan's figure disappear down the village road, feeling a sense of disorientation.

That little tantrum just now, that action of chopping down the tree with the sword...

"It's really hard to believe that this is an immortal."

She muttered to herself softly, her eyes filled with confusion and a vague, indescribable feeling.

Shouldn't immortals be ethereal and otherworldly, detached from worldly concerns?

Why is this young master acting like a boy next door when he gets angry?

Just as Su Daji was feeling sentimental.

……

A beam of light descended from the sky.

Yunxiao also reached the edge of the dense forest.

She stood at the spot where Li Xuanjian had slain the nine-tailed fox not long ago.

The moment she landed, a terrifying sword aura, extremely faint yet incredibly pure, lingered, like fine needles, instantly piercing her senses.

Yunxiao's heart skipped a beat, and his pupils contracted slightly.

"Such a sharp sword intent!" she thought to herself in astonishment. "The remaining traces are so faint, yet the sharpness is still bone-chilling... This is definitely not something an ordinary sword immortal could achieve!"

She carefully explored along the almost imperceptible traces of sword energy.

Finally, her gaze settled on the edge of the dense forest, on a seemingly ordinary farmhouse.

Is this the place?

Yunxiao was initially somewhat skeptical.

She calmed her breathing, trying to appear calm, and walked to the courtyard gate, gently knocking on the door.

With a creak, the courtyard gate opened.

Su Daji appeared at the door.

Upon seeing the woman standing outside the door, Su Daji was instantly stunned by her stunning beauty and aura.

She had never seen such a beautiful and ethereal woman, as if she were untouched by worldly affairs.

Before Su Daji could even ask a question...

An indescribable, terrifying pressure, seemingly originating from the very source of life, leaked out from Yunxiao without warning.

Although it was only a fleeting moment, Su Daji felt as if she were a small boat being hit by a giant wave, instantly suffocating, her face turning pale, unable to utter a single word, only able to stare at the other party in terror.

However, this was not Yunxiao's original intention.

The moment she saw Su Daji open the door, her gaze was involuntarily drawn to a seemingly ordinary sapling that had just been planted in the corner at the back of the courtyard.

The sapling was no taller than a person, with tender green leaves, and was quite inconspicuous.

But in the eyes of Yunxiao's sage disciple Fa, it was surrounded by an indescribable innate Daoist charm, radiating a magnificent vitality that made her soul tremble!

"That's..." Yunxiao's breath caught in his throat, a tidal wave of shock washing over him. "One of the ten innate spiritual roots... Huang Zhongli?!"

She could hardly believe her eyes!

How could such a legendary treasure from the primordial era appear in a mortal's courtyard?

Are they still being planted haphazardly like ordinary fruit trees?

Yunxiao struggled to suppress the shock in his heart, forcing himself to look away and refocus his gaze on the pale-faced mortal woman before him.

She made a concerted effort to maintain a respectful demeanor and asked in a calm tone, "This humble Taoist priest, Yunxiao, comes from Jin'ao Island in the East Sea. May I ask, young lady, is the master of this place here?"

Jin'ao Island?!

Although Su Daji's cultivation level was not high, she came from a royal family and was quite knowledgeable.

Jin'ao Island, that's the Daoist temple of Tongtian Shengren of the Jie Sect!

This stunningly beautiful fairy was actually a disciple of a sage!

Su Daji was in turmoil.

And then to think that someone like that would be so respectful to their young master…

She instantly realized that her earlier comment about Li Xuan being like an ordinary person was an absolute joke!

How could the young master be like an ordinary person? He has clearly returned to simplicity and authenticity, reaching a level of enlightenment that she cannot comprehend!

At this moment, Su Daji felt nothing but awe and wonder at Li Xuan's unfathomable depths.

Thinking back to Li Xuan's casual figure as he left, one can only feel that every gesture he made contained an indescribable sense of elegance and grace, truly the aura of an immortal.

It took Su Daji a long while to recover from her shock.

Seeing that Yunxiao was still looking at him expectantly, as if waiting for an answer.

She quickly apologized and explained again:

"Please forgive me, Fairy Maiden, my young master... he just went out."

Upon hearing this, a hint of doubt flashed in Yunxiao's eyes:

"They went out? Do you know where they went?"

Su Daji's face showed a strange expression, and she added in a low voice, forcing herself to speak, "Young Master said... it was stuffy inside, so he went out to chop down trees to clear his mind."

Cutting down trees?

Yunxiao's expression froze instantly, filled with disbelief and bewilderment.

A reclusive master who can plant the innate spiritual root of the Yellow Plum and unleash such unparalleled sword light... goes out to cut down trees to clear his mind.

Su Daji was incredibly intelligent and noticed Yunxiao's confusion and bewilderment.

She leaned closer, lowered her voice, and explained with a hint of helplessness:

"Please don't be offended, fairy. My young master... he has a strange quirk. He particularly likes... well, he likes to pretend to live as a mortal and experience mundane things. So... chopping down trees and such might be part of his experience?"

Disguised as an ordinary person?

Cutting down trees?

Dude, you have this weird quirk??

Yunxiao was even more bewildered, completely unable to comprehend the logic behind this master's actions.

She was about to ask more detailed questions, such as about the lingering sword energy and the origin of the yellow plum...

Just then, a clear, slightly casual voice suddenly came from behind her:

Who is it?

Just then, a clear, slightly casual voice suddenly came from behind her:

Who is it?

Su Daji and Yunxiao looked in the direction of the sound at the same time.

Li Xuan returned leisurely, carrying that unremarkable wooden sword.

He seemed to be in a better mood, and there were still some fresh bark chips stuck to the wooden sword.

The moment Li Xuan appeared and stepped into the courtyard.

Yunxiao's pupils suddenly contracted!

In her perception, Li Xuan's aura was perfectly in harmony with the Dao essence flowing throughout the world.

It was as if he himself was a part of the Dao, and his walking, sitting and lying down were all in harmony with nature and in accord with the Dao.

The last person she saw who could do this...

He was her teacher, the leader of the Jie Sect, the Sage of Heaven!

But her teacher is a saint!

Could this young master before me also be a saint?

Yunxiao was overwhelmed with unprecedented shock and confusion.

Li Xuan's image in her mind instantly rose to an unattainable height, even comparable to her saintly teacher.

She dared not have the slightest thought of acting rashly again, and even subconsciously softened her breathing.

Seeing Li Xuan return, Su Daji was overjoyed and quickly went to greet him: "Young Master, you're back!"

She turned to look at Yunxiao, preparing to introduce this fairy from Jin'ao Island.

Yunxiao spoke first.

She bowed extremely low to Li Xuan, her tone unusually respectful, even somewhat reserved:

"This humble Taoist nun...this humble Taoist nun is merely passing through Chaoge. Please forgive my rudeness, young master."

She paused for a moment, then remembered that her teacher sometimes addressed her that way, and carefully added, "Young master, you can just call me 'Xiao Yun'."

In her view, Li Xuan's realm was absolutely comparable to that of the Tongtian Sect Master. He was a true ancient monster, far older than herself, so it was perfectly appropriate for him to call her that.

Li Xuan listened without giving it much thought.

He had just finished cutting down the tree and was in a good mood, so he excitedly asked Yunxiao, "Little Yunxiao, right? Do you know any magic? Like lighting a fire or conjuring a flower or something?"

Yunxiao dared not presume to show off his limited skills in front of someone who seemed to be a saint. He quickly shook his head like a rattle drum and humbly said, "Young master is too kind. I am a junior scholar with only a few tricks up my sleeve. They are really not worthy of being presented to you. I dare not make a fool of myself in front of you."

Seeing that he had said that, Li Xuan was a little disappointed, but in the end he didn't ask any more questions and just said "Oh".

He thought to himself: I thought I had met someone with real skills, but it turns out he's just an ordinary charlatan.

Looking at Yunxiao's beautiful appearance and ethereal气质, yet knowing she was just an ordinary Taoist nun, Li Xuan couldn't help but earnestly advise her:

"Little Yun, you're so beautiful. It must be so hard for you to be a nun all alone out there. Take my advice: find a good family to marry into as soon as possible. That's the right path. In this world, it's not safe for a weak woman to travel alone."

After all, in his understanding, it was indeed dangerous for women to be out alone in ancient times.

Yunxiao was completely stunned when he heard this.

???

A sage advised me to get married soon?

What does this mean?

Could it be... that he's hinting... he... he wants to marry me?

As soon as the thought crossed Yunxiao's face, two red clouds instantly rose to her cheeks.

She secretly raised her eyes and quickly glanced at Li Xuan standing opposite her.

Yes, he is indeed very handsome, and his temperament is... very unique.

A strange feeling of shyness welled up inside me, along with a little bit of inexplicable anticipation.

But isn't this too fast?

Yunxiao felt her heart pounding. She lowered her head, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes, and stammered, trying to sound brave as she whispered in response:

"Thank you so much for your advice, young master. This matter... this matter is of great importance, and I... I intend to seriously consider it..."

Su Daji listened from the side and looked at Yunxiao's shy and timid appearance, and her heart suddenly felt sour and uncomfortable.

She couldn't help but compare herself to Yunxiao.

In terms of appearance and temperament, this fairy is indeed superior to me.

Not to mention their cultivation level and background.

No matter how powerful she is, Su Hu's daughter, can she compare to the status of a disciple of the Tongtian Sect Master?

Thinking about it, a sense of frustration welled up inside me.

She secretly reflected: I was the one who came first, but have I been too passive lately, which is why others beat me to it?

Will you find me boring, young master?

She hadn't even had a chance to figure it out yet.

"Knock knock knock!"

There was another knock on the courtyard gate.

Su Daji and Yunxiao both looked in the direction of the sound.

Li Xuan had already walked a few steps to the courtyard gate, and as he opened the gate, he habitually called out:

"Dad, why are you here again?"

Standing outside the door was none other than Emperor Xin.

"What kind of talk is that? You're my precious son, how could I not come to see you?"

"Looking at me? I think you're the one who wouldn't come here unless you had a reason."

"Never mind, never mind, come in and talk."

Li Xuan complained, turning his body to the side as he spoke.

Di Xin then walked in.

Seeing that Yunxiao had been found in the corner, he paused for a moment.

I don't understand how long I've been gone.

How come there's another stunning beauty in the courtyard, and she's even more beautiful than Su Daji?

My adopted son is so lucky with women!

Thinking about it, he was amazed.

Yunxiao stood at the entrance of the courtyard, her heart churning with turmoil.

Di Xin did not know her.

She recognized Emperor Xin.

However, what surprised her was that Di Xin had arrived.

Instead, Li Xuan actually called Emperor Xin "father"!

Li Xuan is on a completely different level; he's at the level of a sage.

Why would someone of this caliber call Emperor Xin "father"?

Did Di Xin deserve it?

What exactly is going on?

It's so abnormal!

Yunxiao felt increasingly uneasy as he thought about it.

Suddenly, I thought of the special period of the Investiture of the Gods, where the saints could not directly intervene in the early stages.

A bold idea popped into my head.

Could it be... that this master is deliberately feigning madness? Is he trying to deceive the heavens in this way?

This... can actually work?

He was able to endure to such an extent in order to offer advice and strategies to the human race.

Yunxiao gasped.

She felt as if she had touched the edge of the truth.

Their gazes toward Li Xuan were filled with deep admiration.

However, Li Xuan was unaware of what the two were thinking.

After briefly introducing Xiaoyun to Di Xin,

They had already turned around and asked about Emperor Xin again.

"Dad, we're family, so just get to the point. Is there some trouble with what you were doing with the irrigation canal?"

Li Xuan spoke casually, with a hint of concern.

"Has the matter with Feng Yi been resolved?"

Di Xin nodded, his face showing no particular expression.

"Resolved."

His voice was steady.

"I... oh, I mean, our great Emperor has already executed Feng Yi."

"Holy crap?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xuan's eyes widened, and he blurted out.

He truly hadn't expected Di Xin to be so brave.

"Resolved? And executed?"

Li Xuan scratched his head, looking completely puzzled.

"This isn't right..."

He muttered to himself.

"Shouldn't the Emperor be completely bewitched by that vixen Su Daji at this point?"

Upon hearing this, Su Daji, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but roll her eyes with a charming yet resentful expression.

She thought to herself, "You're the vixen!"

However, Li Xuan's repeated mention of "vixen" stirred something in Su Daji's heart.

She secretly glanced at Li Xuan's handsome profile.

"Why do you keep mentioning vixens, young master...?"

Su Daji pondered to herself.

"Could it be... that the young master is actually the repressed type?"

The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

"He appears serious on the surface, but deep down he likes those alluring and seductive women?"

Su Daji began to seriously consider whether she should change her style.

Yunxiao stood aside, listening to their conversation, and was shocked wave after wave.

At first, she was just skeptical.

Now she can confirm it with solid evidence.

This Li Xuan is definitely the mastermind behind the recent series of actions by the Great Shang Dynasty!

Both the great merchants and the human condition undergo such changes.

This person was behind it all!
