Chapter 128: Pustule Sacrifices to Understand the Way of Heaven and Earth

  As Xuan Yuan became increasingly arrogant, there was no one around him who could make Xuan Yuan feel apprehensive.

  After the human tribe finished their retreat and rest, Pao Zhi didn't idle around either. Originally, although Pao Zhi had become the co-ruler of the human tribe, after the great war, seeing the losses suffered by the human tribe also left him in shock.

  The human tribe, which originally had a standing army of over 100 billion, went through the Xuan Yuan era, the Shen Nong era, and the recent internal strife of the human tribe. The number of the standing army has shrunk drastically, with less than 10 billion remaining. After all, among the original army of over 100 billion, only less than 1 billion soldiers had cultivation beyond the Tian Xian realm, while the rest were some unverified immortal cultivators, whose lifespan was at most tens of thousands of years. At this point, tens of millions of years have passed, and the unverified immortal cultivators are hard to escape the fate of death.

  Even if a cultivator has already attained the status of a heavenly immortal, it is not necessarily free from calamities and tribulations. It is inevitable that there will be some losses. Moreover, considering the recent great war, it's understandable that the human race only has less than 10 billion standing armies left.

  Most people in the human tribe are still unrefined mortals, and they cannot avoid some natural disasters. People know nothing about the vast expanse of the universe, when it rains and winds, lightning flashes and thunder rumbles, humans are both afraid and confused. Fu Xi wants to figure all this out, so he often stands on high mountains, observing the sun, moon, stars and constellations in the sky, examining the terrain and directions, sometimes studying the footprints and patterns of flying birds and running beasts.

  One day, as he was pondering by the Luo River, a low hum echoed through the sky. He turned his head and saw a yellow cow emerging from the deep mountains and ancient forests of the Luo River, carrying a dragon-shaped jade stone on its back. It presented it to Zou Yan.

  Although the kitchen is not clear what this is, but the pattern on the jade stone seems to tell the pustule that this piece of jade is called the Hetu Luoshu River Map and Luo Book. After studying the patterns and texts on it, he finally created the Pre-Heaven Eight Trigrams, hiding the eight trigrams in a Taiji diagram with one stroke.

  Taiji is at the bottom, divided into two instruments in the middle, and the eight trigrams are divided above them, which are Qian, Dui, Li, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Gen, Kun.

  Although simple, it encompasses everything, containing the wonders of heaven and earth. Moreover, once you reach a profound level, this thing doesn't require force; as long as you understand its subtleties, ordinary people can also calculate auspiciousness and avoid disasters.

  The shackles of ignorance were broken, and the way of the eight trigrams was understood. From this, one's own great way became clear. The great way of the cauldron was completed, memories from past lives naturally recovered, and scenes from past events flashed by like a dream.

  While Bao Zhan was still clearing his mind, a white-robed beauty and a green-clothed Taoist suddenly appeared in the air above, silently watching Bao Zhan as he organized his thoughts. The white-robed beauty casually sent a palm strike into Bao Zhan's body.

  After the body of Pao Xi merged with this flesh, his cultivation rose in a straight line, refining essence and energy/refining energy and spirit, refining spirit to return to emptiness, refining emptiness to merge with the Tao, heavenly immortal, true immortal, golden immortal, Taiyi Golden Immortal, Daluo Golden Immortal. Pao Xi's cultivation rose in a straight line, naturally stirring up the surrounding spiritual energy fluctuations.

  At this place, Luo Shui was not far from the Fengyun tribe. Yun Xiao Xianzi, who had always lived in the Fengyun tribe, was naturally startled by the sudden improvement of Tian Xiang's cultivation and hurried over to see what was happening. In a moment, Yun Xiao Xianzi arrived at Tian Xiang's side and saw that he was standing there motionless, so she quickly went forward to check on him.

  Just as Yun Xiao was about to bump into Pao Qiu's body, a gentle force blocked the path ahead of him. Yun Xiao was shocked and quickly looked around, then saw Bai Yi Gong Zhuang and Qing Yi Dao Ren in mid-air.

  Yun Xiao was shocked after seeing the appearance of the newcomer, and hastily stepped forward to pay his respects. Yun Xiao said: "Yun Xiao pays homage to Nüwa Niangniang, and has seen Wújí Shīxiōng." It turned out that the beautiful woman in white palace attire was actually Nüwa Niangniang, and the carefree Taoist priest was actually Wújí Tiān Zūn.

  It's normal to say that the Niangniang came first, after all, they are siblings and have a deep affection for each other. But why did Wújí come? It turned out that when Niangniang first discovered that Fuxi had reincarnated as Pízhài, she was already thinking about how Pízhài would attain enlightenment in the future.

  Nüwa discovered that Fuxi wanted to prove the Tao, so she couldn't leave without two pre-heavenly spiritual treasures, the Hetu and Luoshu. However, Nüwa knew that once the Hetu and Luoshu fell into the hands of Wújí, there was no news, and Nüwa also learned from the Heavenly Way that the Hetu and Luoshu had disappeared without a trace, and they no longer existed.

  Nüwa knew that the Hetu Luoshu was the key to her brother's proof, and she did not give up easily. However, the Hetu Luoshu had disappeared without a trace, and Nüwa could only search for it from Wuji.

  Nüwa Niangniang, although a sacred and supreme being, has an identity that is not much different from Wuji's in terms of power. To show respect to Wuji, Nüwa Niangniang did not send her golden phoenix to convey her decree, but instead personally went to Wuji's Penglai Immortal Island to pay respects to Wuji.

  When a saint travels, the heavens and earth will naturally respond, revealing all sorts of strange phenomena. As soon as Niúwāngniáng arrived at the eastern border of the Hóng Huāng world, she released her own aura. It wasn't that Niúwāngniáng wanted to show off, but rather that Pēnglái Xiān Dǎo itself had a heavenly mechanism for concealing its own presence, and Niúwāngniáng couldn't obtain the location of Pēnglái Xiān Dǎo from Tiān Dào.

  Nüwa Niangniang revealed her own aura, but did not create any great waves in the midst of it. This was because although Nüwa Niangniang had released her aura, only those who were not saints could not perceive it. Through several discussions with Wújí about the Tao, she discovered that Wújí's cultivation would not be much inferior to her own saintly merit and virtue.

  Moreover, Nuwa discovered through her previous discussion that Wuji's cultivation had actually surpassed her own. This made Nuwa feel a huge pressure. After all, being surpassed by one's junior is not something to be happy about, and this junior also had some conflicting interests with herself.

  Nüwa just revealed her family's aura, and Tian Tong, the master of the Golden Turtle Island, discovered it. He thought Nüwa was looking for him, after all, his disciple Yun Xiao was the reincarnation of Fuxi's teacher, and he now had common interests with Nüwa.

  Tongtian Sect Master immediately ordered his subordinates to disperse, and he personally came to the edge of the East Sea to welcome Nüwa. When Tongtian Sect Master saw Nüwa, he first spoke: "Nüwa Shifu has arrived, Brother hasn't gone far to greet you, please forgive me."

  Nüwa saw that her exposure of the air machine not only failed to lure out Wújí, but instead brought about the arrival of Tōngtiān Jiào Zhǔ. Upon seeing Tōngtiān Jiào Zhǔ, she immediately replied: "Elder brother is too polite, Nüwa has come uninvited, please forgive me."

  "Since you've come to find me, Master Sister, you must have something on your mind. Why don't we head to my Golden Turtle Island and sit down for a leisurely chat? Let me play the host properly."

  Nüwa heard the words of Tongtian Jiao and realized that Tongtian Jiao had misunderstood her intentions. Nüwa couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions, as she had been searching for Wuji but instead was being warmly received by Wuji's master uncle, Tongtian Jiao.

  At this time, seeing that the Tianxian Sect Master had already extended an invitation, Nüwa Niangniang could not refuse for the sake of the Tianxian Sect Master's face. Otherwise, the Tianxian Sect Master would absolutely lose face, and she would also suffer consequences with the Tianxian Sect Master due to this small matter.

  Moreover, Wuji has not come to find himself yet, perhaps he can get some information about Wuji from Tongtian Teach Master, the master of Wuji. Later, Nüwa came to Jinyu Island under the enthusiastic hospitality of Tongtian Teach Master.

  Nüwa and Tongtian Jiao-zhu discussed some matters about Fuxi's reincarnation on the Golden Turtle Island, after which Nüwa shifted their conversation to the future discussion of Fuxi's proof of the Dao in the pre-heavenly spiritual treasure book of the He Luo Diagram.

  Nüwa said, "Tongtian Shixiong, I sensed the River Map from the Heavenly Way, it's no longer in the Primordial Chaos, do you know where the River Map is?" Tongtian saw Nüwa asking about the River Map and realized he might have misunderstood, Nüwa was probably searching for Wuji, but was intercepted by him halfway. To save face, Nüwa agreed to visit his Golden Turtle Island as a guest.

  After the Tongtian Jiaozhu realized his mistake, he appreciated Nüwa's tact in not embarrassing him, and naturally felt grateful. When he saw Nüwa asking about the Hetu Luoshu, he reciprocated her kindness by telling her what he knew.

  Moreover, the Lord of Tongtian personally took Niangniang to the Penglai Fairy Island in Wujie. After all, if he let his own people lead the way for Niangniang, it would be impolite. Niangniang's face would also not look good. Since Niangniang gave him face, the Lord of Tongtian thought that he should also give Niangniang face.

  With the guidance of Tongtian Sect Master, a saint-level leader, they arrived at Penglai Fairy Island in less than an instant. Since his last visit to Penglai Fairy Island, Tongtian Sect Master took out a jade token.

  Tongtian Jiaozhu saw the puzzled eyes of Nüwa Niangniang and said: "Shi Mei, this was left by Wújí for the Qingyi Tongzi under his door. I just took it from Qingyi Tongzi. Today we will go to Wújí's orchard and wine cellar to take a stroll and satisfy our cravings."

  Nüwa looked at Tongtian with a strange gaze, sizing him up and down, as if she didn't recognize him. After being stared at by Nüwa for a while, Tongtian realized that he had misspoken.

  "Ah, sister, don't misunderstand, my relationship with Wuji is fine. It's almost time for him to show his filial piety to me, I just came early to take what belongs to me."

  Afterwards, Tongtian Jiao Zhu ignored Nüwa Niangniang's strange gaze and walked through the large array on Penglai Xian Island with ease. In less than a moment, he passed through the array and arrived at the orchard where Wuji had planted the pre-heavenly spiritual roots. However, he only found a few scattered pre-heavenly spiritual roots here, but did not find any other pre-heavenly spiritual roots.

  Then the Tongtian Sect Master came to the wine cellar of Wujie and found that nothing had moved, so he put his mind at ease. After all, there was no spiritual fruit to eat, but good wine was also fine. Later, the Tongtian Sect Master collected all the wine in the wine cellar with a wave of his hand, of course, not forgetting to leave hundreds of jars for Nüwa Niangniang.

  Tongtian Sect Master said to Nüwa Niangniang: "Sister, take these things first, they are good stuff." After finishing speaking, he took out a jar of wine and drank it slowly, savoring the taste. Nüwa Niangniang couldn't help but be curious about the thing that could make Tongtian Sect Master, a saint, have such an enjoyable expression.

  The goddess Nüwa took out a vessel, poured some from the wine jar, and lightly sipped it. She found that the flavor of this fruit wine was actually quite good. Afterwards, she put everything away according to the Tianxu Sect Master's instructions. Then, under the guidance of the Tianxu Sect Master, the two of them headed towards the Wujizong bamboo building.
