Chapter 31 Nuwa's Heaven Creation Plan
In the Dao Realm, Xuanqing witnessed the Chaos Demon God dying in hundreds of ways.
Of course, he also witnessed his own hundreds of lives and deaths.
After being repeatedly slain by the Pangu God.
Xuanqing finally grasped the Dao and principle contained within that move.
"Congratulations, Daoist!"
Meng Wuyou came forward and scrutinized Xuanqing carefully.
Xuanqing, having just awakened from the Enlightenment, was now exuding a faint air of detachment.
"Pangu's wool is really not easy to pluck!"
Seated cross-legged on the cushion, Xuanqing supported his jaw with one hand, his gaze fixed ahead, his eyes somewhat empty and even slightly bewildered, as if he had lost interest in the world.
The higher you aspire, the harder it is to delve into.
Every time Xuanqing met Pangu, he gained invaluable insight.
It's just that the aftermath was a bit too strong and needed some time to dissipate.
Xuanqing even wondered if it was because he saw the death of the Haoran Demon God that he was given special attention by the Pangu God.
Otherwise, why would the sense of death be so intense after this Enlightenment?
Meng Wuyou covered her mouth and giggled at the side:
"The way you seek Enlightenment is useful, but you can't keep looking for hardship like this; at least take a break in between."
"Enlightenment should be pursued incrementally."
Pangu's great axe was not something any ordinary divine energy could withstand, even in the Dao Realm.
In fact, like this method of Enlightenment, Meng Wuyou is also capable.
It was originally Xuanqing's idea, which was further refined and perfected with Meng Wuyou and the Ming River.
As the saying goes: In dreams and in mirrors, there exists a universe.
Xuanqing used the Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Evil Mirror, as a medium to seek the connection between the Demon Gods and Pangu and to witness the Pangu Dao.
Meng Wuyou's method was to sleep and seek Enlightenment in her dreams.
As for the way of the Ming River, it was a bit more thrilling.
He always liked to find a glimpse of Spiritual Light between life and death to achieve the understanding of the Great Dao.
Meng Wuyou still remembered the last time Xuanqing found a piece of a Demon God's Finger Bone in the Chaos.
The three of them pondered it together.
Meng Wuyou chose to sleep peacefully and journey into a dream world;
Xuanqing saw into the past, entering the Dao Realm time and again;
The Ming River, however, would take out the weapons Yuan Tu and Avici and strike his own head with them.
Then he would begin to commit suicide over and over.
Without as much as blinking an eye.
Like a killer devoid of emotions.
In the original words of the Ming River:
"The Killing Dao starts by killing oneself!"
"If one is not even willing to kill oneself, what kind of Killing Dao is that!"
The result was, after the three finished Enlightenment.
The sea level of the Blood Sea rose by three inches.
"Wuyou, did you gain anything from your trip to the Kunlun Ruins?"
Xuanqing gradually came back to his senses, his detachment already dissipated.
"What gains could I get from a gathering?"
Meng Wuyou said: "Our Kunlun Ruins and your Taiwei Constellation are different, the gatherings are mainly about eating and drinking."
"And to exchange some useful information."
Meng Wuyou was speaking, then with a flick of her slender hand, a jade plate and a jade pot appeared on several tables in the Fengdu Hall.
The plate held three Purple Patterned Peaches, and the pot contained Jadescent Nectar.
"Here, I brought these for you."
Seeing this, Xuanqing laughed: "The Queen Mother of the West is really rich and generous, not only hosting banquets repeatedly but also allowing takeaways every time!"
Meng Wuyou replied: "You've never been to the Kunlun Ruins, so you don't know the wealth of the Queen Mother of the West; she owns an entire peach orchard!"
"It is planted with nothing but the Innate Ren Water Flat Peaches, a full three thousand six hundred of them!"
The Innate Ren Water Flat Peach, also known as the Immortal Medicine, is one of the ten greatest Innate Spirit Roots of the Primordial era.
Its most impressive feature is its ability to perfectly divide and form offshoots.
These three thousand six hundred Flat Peach trees, which were split from the mother tree, are all Innate!
Refusal is not an option.
Of course, the Netherworld also possesses such a cultivatable Innate Spirit Root.
That would be the Other Shore Flower.
Meng Wuyou often brings this as a gift to the banquets...
Xuanqing looked at the Purple Patterned Peaches on the table and thought: "How about bringing the fruits from the Divine Peach Tree next time I attend a gathering?"
"These are better than the Other Shore Flowers, at least the Divine Peaches are edible."
Meng Wuyou shook his head: "The gifts everyone brings have already been agreed upon and have become customary; it isn't good to change that."
"Actually, the Queen Mother of the West quite likes the Other Shore Flowers. She says it offers insight into the profound mysteries of life and death, not inferior to the Flat Peaches."
"How polite of them."
Since Wuyou said so, Xuanqing didn't dwell on the matter any further.
He waved his hand and sent a Flat Peach down to the Naihe Bridge; a pot of Jadescent Nectar was shared with the Primordial Chaos Cauldron and the Divine Peach Tree.
The last two Flat Peaches were then sent to the Blood Sea Mansion.
The Ming River needs the Immortal Medicine even more than him.
Next, Meng Wuyou shared with Xuanqing some information obtained from the Kunlun Ruins.
One was about the Qilin Clan's expansion plan.
The other was Nuwa's Heaven Creation plan.
"Put the Qilin Clan's plan aside; I've already met most of the thirty-six emperors."
Xuanqing briefly shared his experiences in the Nameless Sea with Meng Wuyou.
"So it was Yuan Huang who was behind this skull; no wonder."
Meng Wuyou nodded, none of the divine beings from the Taiwei Constellation are serious, each one's capability for mischief is more outrageous than the last.
Xuanqing continued to ask: "What exactly is Nuwa's Heaven Creation plan?"
"It's exactly as it sounds, to create and open the heavens."
Meng Wuyou explained: "Nuwa said her own Great Dao has reached a fork in the road, and she plans to create the heavens to verify the answer in her heart."
"I see." Xuanqing pondered with his head lowered.
Nuwa, yet to prove herself as Da Luo, would likely focus her Heaven Creation plan on the aspect of Creation Dao, rather than truly emulating the Pangu God's act of world creation.
Nuwa, the ancient Goddess, the shaper of all beings.
Creating and shaping the universe is indeed her destined path.
Now that she has reached this juncture, it seems her understanding of the Dao is clear.
After this, even if she does not ascend to Da Luo, it will be soon.
Immediately after, Xuanqing thought of Fu Xi, the Wood Star Venerable.
"I wonder how far Fu Xi has gotten by now."
Xuanqing had once visited the vast wilderness.
The moment he saw the towering World Tree, he knew that Fu Xi's future arrangements would almost certainly revolve around 'Heaven Creation.'
After all, holding a true World Tree without using it to create heavens would be a waste, wouldn't it?
Moreover, in later legends, he is a distinguished Creator God.
The only question is whether Fu Xi intends to experiment alone with heaven creation or plans a grand collaboration with Nuwa.
If so, there will be quite a spectacle to witness.
Thinking of this, Xuanqing turned to Meng Wuyou and asked: "Did Nuwa say she's still in the preparatory phase and needs more time?"
Meng Wuyou was surprised: "How do you know?"
As expected... Xuanqing's face held a smile: "Did Nuwa also say that her act of creating the heavens this time might be a bit grand, and she would need you guys from the Taixu Nine Heavens to oversee the event?"
"How do you know?" Meng Wuyou blinked, you were there at the time, weren't you!
Speak, which sister are you!
Meng Wuyou firmly believed that Xuanqing definitely had a female identity in the Kunlun Ruins!
Otherwise, it would be inexplicable.
Xuanqing just smiled.
"Creating the heavens, if it's a Minor Thousand World, Great Thousand World, or Minor All Heavens, Great All Heavens, wouldn't require such caution."
"The only possibility that would warrant such treatment from her is either a Da Luo Universe, or at the very least, a Great Thousand Universe with the potential for Da Luo!"
"Creating at this level is no simple feat."
Xuanqing smiled with a bit of schadenfreude.
"Opening up the Great Thousand Universe, invasion by Evil Demons from beyond!"
"Creating the Da Luo Universe, Innate Demon Gods as the calamity!"
"These are the fated challenges imprinted on the path of creation by the Pangu God since the very beginning."
