Chapter 122: Nuwa Transforms into the Laws of Nature, Hongjun Questions the Heavenly Dao
The Heavenly Dao wanted to cooperate with Xuan Chu, abandon Hong Jun, and make Xuan Chu its spokesperson so that it could take back the power of the Earthly Dao and completely dominate the prehistoric world. However, Xuan Chu refused sternly. The Heavenly Dao tried both coercion and enticement, but Xuan Chu remained unmoved. Helpless, the Heavenly Dao had no choice but to withdraw the Heavenly Dao power from Nuwa and leave the prehistoric world with a waning interest.
Inside the Pangu Palace, Xuan Chu sent everyone else back, leaving Nuwa alone.
"Nuwa, although you have relinquished your saintly position, if you wish to attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal of Primordial Chaos, you must abandon the path of severing the three corpses and instead cultivate the path of laws. The first step is to transform the good corpses you severed back into your original essence and return them to your body to ensure the integrity of your original essence," Xuan Chu said to Nuwa.
"Teacher, back in Zixiao Palace, Dao Ancestor Hongjun once said that cultivating the Three Corpses to their ultimate level allows one to unify the three corpses and attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal of Hunyuan. Although I am no longer a saint, I can still continue to cultivate the Three Corpses to attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal of Hunyuan." Nuwa was somewhat puzzled. Since she already had the method to attain the Dao, why bother cultivating the Dao of Laws again? Wasn't that redundant?
Hearing this, Xuan Chu shook his head helplessly. Another pitiful creature fooled by that bastard Hong Jun. Xuan Chu sighed and said, "Nuwa, you're right. Hong Jun's self-created method of severing the three corpses can indeed lead to the attainment of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. But think about it carefully, looking across the entire prehistoric world, has anyone ever succeeded?"
"This..." As the saying goes, those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly. After Xuan Chu's reminder, Nuwa realized that it seemed that there really wasn't one. Since Hong Jun spread the Dao to the prehistoric world, most of the prehistoric cultivators had embarked on the path of severing the three corpses, but no one had ever been heard of who could attain the Dao of the Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortal. Even the Demon Emperor Di Jun, who had severed all three corpses and reached the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm, could not do it. In fact, Hong Jun only attained the Dao of the Saint realm and did not achieve the unity of the three corpses. Currently, there are only three Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortals in the prehistoric world, and these three Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortals are all disciples of Xuan Chu. Obviously, they have also abandoned the path of severing the three corpses and turned to the path of laws.
"Teacher, why is this?" Nuwa asked, eager to know the reason.
Xuan Chu said, "The final step in the method of severing the three corpses is the unification of the three corpses. The key to unifying the three corpses lies in the fact that the innate objects that entrust the incarnations of the three corpses must be of the same origin. Only in this way can the three corpses be perfectly integrated. But think about it, how many innate objects, three or more, can be found in the primordial world? Gathering them together is even more difficult. Even Hongjun did not have the ability to do it. How could you, the beings of the primordial world, have such an opportunity?"
"Teacher, Hongjun is misleading the entire prehistoric world! This is tantamount to severing the path of all living beings in the prehistoric world. Why doesn't Teacher expose such a wicked thought?" Nuwa was shocked and curious as to why Xuan Chu didn't expose Hongjun. After all, Xuan Chu and Hongjun were mortal enemies. Once Xuan Chu revealed the secret of severing the three corpses, Hongjun would definitely be condemned by the entire prehistoric world and might even be unable to be tolerated. At that time, Xuan Chu could reap the benefits.
Xuan Chu said, "Nuwa, you're right. What Hongjun did was tantamount to severing the path to immortality for all living beings in the prehistoric world. But have you ever considered how many people in the entire prehistoric world can ultimately attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm? The vast majority of beings in the prehistoric world are just ordinary people. Let alone attaining the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, very few of them can even advance to the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal. Although Hongjun's method of severing the three corpses has to some extent severed the path to immortality for cultivators, it has given the vast majority of cultivators a hope. Even if they cannot attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm in their entire lives, they can still find another way and rival the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm with the strength of a Quasi-Saint. Isn't that also a blessing to the prehistoric world?"
Upon hearing this, Nuwa understood Xuan Chu's original intention. Indeed, even a great master like Hongjun couldn't do it, so how many people in the entire prehistoric world could? Becoming a Quasi-Saint might be a very good outcome.
"This disciple has learned much from your teachings, thank you for your guidance, Master!" Nuwa bowed her head in gratitude.
"Alright, Nuwa, there's no time to lose. Summon your benevolent self, and I will help you return to your original state," Xuan Chu said.
"Yes!" Nuwa responded and summoned her benevolent self. Soon, a woman dressed in white who looked exactly like Nuwa appeared in the Pangu Palace.
Xuan Chu used the Law of Quantity to return Nuwa's benevolent corpse to its original state, transforming it into a ball of primordial energy, which he then sent into Nuwa's body.
After the good corpse returned, Nuwa's realm dropped from the early stage of Quasi-Saint to the peak of Great Luo Golden Immortal. Subsequently, Xuan Chu injected a source of the Law of Creation into Nuwa's body.
"Nuwa, when you were still in your gestation period, you were imbued with the innate energy of creation. This is the foundation that enabled you to create the human race. Therefore, the Law of Creation is the most suitable law for you to cultivate. This is a source of the Law of Creation that I obtained from the God of Creation during the Great Chaos Calamity. I now bestow it upon you. From now on, you will stay in the Pangu Palace to cultivate. I will help you to master the Law of Creation and advance to the Primordial Golden Immortal realm," Xuan Chu said.
"Thank you so much for your kindness, teacher!" Nuwa said excitedly, bowing her head in gratitude.
In the days that followed, Nuwa remained in the Pangu Palace.
Chaos, Zixiao Palace. Ever since the Heavenly Dao separated from Hongjun's Dao body, Hongjun had been very unhappy. Although the Heavenly Dao had taken over Hongjun's Dao body at that time, Hongjun's consciousness was still there. Hongjun heard the conversation between the Heavenly Dao and Xuan Chu clearly. When he learned that the Heavenly Dao wanted Xuan Chu to replace him, Hongjun was both shocked and angry.
On one hand, Hongjun resented that the Heavenly Dao didn't show any mercy. He had done so much for the Heavenly Dao, but the Heavenly Dao abandoned him without hesitation, treating him like trash. On the other hand, Hongjun was also very worried that Xuan Chu would agree to the Heavenly Dao's request, even though Hongjun knew that the possibility was very small.
Fortunately, Xuan Chu ultimately rejected the Heavenly Dao, and Hong Jun finally breathed a sigh of relief, managing to retain his status as the representative of the Heavenly Dao.
However, Hongjun felt that he could not just swallow his anger like this, otherwise if there was a next time, it was hard to guarantee that the Heavenly Dao would really replace him. So the Heavenly Dao decisively entered the Heavenly Dao Origin Space.
Within the primordial space of the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao Wheel hangs in the pitch-black space. Normally, the will of the Heavenly Dao is attached to the Heavenly Dao Wheel.
"Heavenly Dao, I would like to ask you, what do you mean? Am I really so worthless?" Hongjun said, looking at the Heavenly Dao Dharma Wheel with a gloomy expression.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Heavenly Dao Wheel shook, and a wisp of primordial power drifted into Hongjun's mind. The Heavenly Dao's meaning was conveyed to Hongjun, roughly meaning: I have given you so many opportunities, but you have messed them up every time. How can I have confidence in you? But don't worry, Xuan Chu will never become the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao. Your position can be kept for the time being. As for what will happen in the future, it will depend on your performance.
Upon receiving the message from the Heavenly Dao, Hongjun's expression darkened further. He had thought that after Xuan Chu rejected the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao would appease him after questioning him, but he hadn't expected to receive such an attitude from the Heavenly Dao. Instantly, Hongjun felt that he had humiliated himself.
At this moment, another wisp of the Heavenly Dao's primordial power floated into Hongjun's mind, meaning: Alright, you can rest assured, your position as the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao is very secure. As long as you do as I say, I will not abandon you.
Hongjun finally breathed a sigh of relief, having obtained the result he desired. He said, "Heavenly Dao, now that Nuwa has relinquished her saintly position, the Six Saints of Heavenly Dao are missing one, and you are no longer perfect. I fear that in the future, neither you nor I will be able to suppress Xuan Chu. What should we do now?"
Xuan Chu's cultivation as a Primordial Chaos Limitless Golden Immortal was invincible in the Primordial World. If it weren't for the Heavenly Dao's perfection, Hongjun would have been able to exert strength close to that of a late-stage Primordial Chaos Limitless Golden Immortal within the Primordial World, which would have been enough to suppress Xuan Chu. Although the intervention of the Great Dao prevented him from truly suppressing Xuan Chu, it at least made Xuan Chu more restrained and less likely to act recklessly within the Primordial World. However, now that the Heavenly Dao is flawed, Hongjun can no longer exert strength close to that of a late-stage Primordial Chaos Limitless Golden Immortal, and he simply cannot suppress Xuan Chu. How can he possibly fight against Xuan Chu in the future?
