Primordial Era: Innate gourd vine, self-dismemberment

Chapter 65 Fuxi's Heart Knot

Seeing the outcome of the contest over the six prayer cushions, Yuan Yan felt somewhat helpless.

When he first stepped into Zixiao Palace and saw the six prayer mats, he thought that with his cultivation level as a Great Luo Golden Immortal like Yuanjie, Yuanlun, and Yuanling, it would be easy for him to snatch one prayer mat, and even snatching several would not be difficult.

Although he, Yuanjie, Yuanlun, and Yuanling were originally one person, he should not be able to hide it from the Heavenly Dao or Hongjun. The Heavenly Dao and Hongjun would certainly not allow him to occupy multiple saintly positions.

But if he could actually snatch multiple prayer mats, whether he gave them to Fuxi to make Nuwa and Fuxi his most steadfast allies, or used them to curry favor, it would be an extremely worthwhile deal.

But to their utter surprise, because they had the highest cultivation level, the strongest strength, and the largest number of people, they were targeted the most.

The Three Pure Ones actually possessed such a trump card. Although they were only at the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, their qi was connected, drawing upon the power of Pangu hidden deep within their primordial spirits, allowing them to briefly reach the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Caught off guard and caught off guard by both intentional and unintentional tactics, they surprisingly managed to grab the first three prayer cushions.

Even more unexpectedly, Yuanjie, Yuanlun, and Yuanling held the rear, buying him, Nuwa, and Fuxi time. Fuxi was so disappointing that Hongyun overtook him.

Although he felt helpless, the deed was done and Yuan Yan could do nothing about it. He could only comfort himself that he had successfully snatched a prayer mat and achieved his goal, so it wasn't a failure.

At this moment, seeing that everything had temporarily settled down, Yuanjie, Yuanlun, and Yuanling could only put away their spiritual treasures and, together with Fuxi, came behind Yuanyan and Nuwa, sitting down cross-legged.

Zhen Yuanzi did the same thing, sitting down behind Hongyun.

"Many thanks to Brother Yuanyan, Brother Yuanjie, Brother Yuanlun, and Brother Yuanling for helping me obtain the position of the futon," Nuwa said, bowing to the four of them in gratitude.

If it weren't for the help of Yuan Yan and the other three, especially Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, and Yuan Ling giving up the competition for the futon to shield her from the attacks of many powerful figures behind her and to stop Kunpeng and Hongyun, even if her brother was willing to give up the competition for the futon for her sake and buy her time, she might not have been able to win the position of the futon.

After she sat on the futon, she had a premonition that this futon contained an immense opportunity.

She deserves to thank Yuan Yan and the other three!

Of course, what she owed Yuan Yan and the other three was far more than a simple thank you; she owed them a great debt of karma.

Although Nuwa did not say it aloud at this time, she secretly kept this affection and cause and effect in her heart.

"There's no need for such talk between us!" Yuan Yan waved his hand and said.

Yuan Jie smiled and nodded, saying, "Fellow Daoist Nuwa, there's no need for that. Helping you is also helping our elder brother."

"Not bad!" Yuan Lun and Yuan Ling nodded slightly in approval.

However, at this moment, Yuan Yan, Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, and Yuan Ling were put aside, but Fu Xi was unable to be open-minded.

If he fails to win the prayer mat himself, he won't have any negative emotions and can take it calmly.

But things are different now. In order to help them compete for the futon, Yuanjie, Yuanlun, and Yuanlun gave up their own chances, but he lost the futon due to a careless move.

At this moment, he couldn't help but wonder if the outcome would have been different if Yuanjie, Yuanlun, and Yuanling hadn't given up and had instead given him the chance.

Thinking of this, Fuxi felt deeply ashamed: "Four fellow Daoists, I'm sorry, I have failed you all and wasted the excellent situation you created for me!"

"Fellow Daoist Fuxi, there's no need to blame yourself!" As if seeing through Fuxi's thoughts, Yuanling comforted him, "The reason you were a step behind my elder brother and Fellow Daoist Nuwa is because you paused slightly after us. The reason you did this is probably because you, like us, wanted to give up the competition for the futon and buy time for us and Fellow Daoist Nuwa."

"Your deep sibling bond with Fellow Daoist Nuwa proves that my elder brother has not made a mistake in befriending her."

"Moreover, you were a step slower than Fellow Daoist Hongyun, so it can't be entirely your fault. We also bear some responsibility. If we hadn't underestimated Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi and Fellow Daoist Hongyun, they wouldn't have had the opportunity to take advantage of us."

"Yuanling is absolutely right!" Yuanlun echoed.

However, at this moment, Yuanjie did not follow up with advice, but instead invited, "Fellow Daoist Fuxi, the Western Continent has become extremely barren due to the self-destruction of the earth's veins by the Demon Ancestor Rahu. The Western Continent is also part of the Primordial World. We, the innate saints, were nurtured by the Primordial World and have been blessed by Heaven and Earth. We should repay Heaven and Earth."

"Therefore, we have been working tirelessly to repair the Western Continent. We wonder if Fellow Daoist Fuxi would be willing to accompany us to the Western Continent and lend us a helping hand?"

Of course, Yuan Jie spoke up at this time not to take advantage of Fu Xi's distress and guilt, but to completely pull him to their side. Rather, he wanted to resolve Fu Xi's inner conflict.

He felt that listening to Yuanling and Yuanlun's words had not only failed to resolve Fuxi's inner conflict, but had also deepened his sense of guilt. Perhaps what Fuxi needed now was not their comfort, but rather something to do for them.

"Brother Dao, your righteousness is beyond reproach!" Fuxi replied without the slightest hesitation.

In that instant, his inner turmoil vanished without a trace.

With his mind clear and his spirit emptied, Fuxi experienced a surge of profound insights, and his cultivation level suddenly improved significantly.

"Thank you for your guidance, fellow Daoist!" Fuxi bowed respectfully, his face filled with gratitude.

Now he understands perfectly well that he had somehow gotten stuck in a rut, almost falling into a dead end, which affected his state of mind.

It was Yuanjie who understood the root of his problem and dispelled his inner conflict.

This not only helped him resolve his inner conflict, but also caused his cultivation level to suddenly improve significantly, leaving him with another great favor from the Yuan Realm!

If we also consider Yuan Yan's guidance and instruction to him and Nuwa, this time Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, and Yuan Ling relinquished their own struggle for the futon, giving them the opportunity and buying them time.

He felt that he owed Yuan Yan, Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, and Yuan Ling a debt that would be difficult to repay.

However, at this time, Fuxi no longer harbored any resentment.

If he truly cannot repay the debt in the future, he can simply spend the rest of his life doing so. If he still cannot repay it, he can simply sell his sister Nuwa and work alongside Yuan Yan and the others.

He knew without needing to deduce the secrets of heaven that the future prospects of Yuan Yan, Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, and Yuan Ling were absolutely limitless.

Because their cultivation level far surpassed that of the top innate saints of their generation, including the Three Pure Ones transformed from Pangu's primordial spirit and the Twelve Ancestral Witches transformed from Pangu's essence blood.

Because they understand that the innate deities were nurtured by the primordial world and are favored by heaven and earth, they should repay heaven and earth. If they have this thought and put it into action, their good fortune will continue and they will be blessed by heaven and earth.

Because they have four brothers, all of whom are top-tier innate saints, such a formidable group is one that few top-tier innate saints in the prehistoric world would dare to offend or be willing to offend.
