Sainthood Through Merit
However, the instant Nuwa finished speaking, a bright light suddenly shone in the sky, and then a golden light of Merit shot straight down!
As the golden light descended, golden flowers rained down from the sky. Upon closer inspection, this golden light was more than ten times larger than the golden light of Merit that appeared when the Heavenly Court was established!
When the light got close, it suddenly split in two. About 90% of it fell into Nuwa's body, while the remaining 10% flew towards Fuxi.
However, Fuxi did not immediately absorb the Merit. He simply waved his sleeve and put the huge mass of Merit into his sleeve before turning to look at Nuwa.
Sure enough, after Nuwa absorbed even the greatest Merit that Pangu had accumulated since the creation of the world, Nuwa body suddenly began to shimmer with light.
As Nuwa slowly absorbed the radiant light of Merit, a wisp of purple spiritual energy slowly floated from her forehead. This was the Purple Qi that the Dao Ancestor had given Nuwa when he divided the land.
Then, the Purple Qi slowly floated to the top of Nuwa's head, its radiance seemingly containing infinite truths.
After a long while, the Purple Qi seemed to have finally absorbed enough Merit and slowly returned to calm. Then it gradually returned to Nuwa's body. As this process went on, Nuwa's body also seemed to gradually merge with heaven and earth—this mysterious feeling was exactly the same as that of Hongjun in the past!
Without a doubt, with the added Merit, Nuwa has already shed her impurities and is about to achieve the Hunyuan Fruit Position!
As if the heavens and earth were sensing something, auspicious clouds churned and flowers rained down, a scene exactly like the one when Hongjun attained enlightenment, and the oppressive aura was also quite similar.
In the original world, before Nuwa became a saint, she was only Quasi-Sage had severed one of her three corpses. Moreover, she relied on Merit to achieve her Sage position, so her combat power and cultivation could not be compared with Hongjun had severed Three Corpses of his corpses.
But now, Nuwa has broken through to the Quasi-Sage using the laws, and has even reached the Mid-Quasi-Sage.
Moreover, compared to the shortcut of Slaying the Three Corpses, Nuwa's path was more upright and honest, taking one step at a time, and her foundation was much more solid.
"Congratulations, little sister, on finally achieving the Hunyuan position today!" Seeing that Nuwa had completed her breakthrough, Fuxi also smiled and congratulated her.
"It's all thanks to my brother. If it weren't for his guidance and help, I don't know how long it would have taken for Nuwa to become a saint on her own." Upon seeing this, Nuwa smiled and glanced at Fuxi. Her words, however, did not change despite her attainment of Sage position; on the contrary, they seemed even closer.
Her words came entirely from the heart—if it weren't for Fuxi's guidance, she wouldn't have grasped the key points; if Fuxi hadn't given her two treasures, this opportunity would likely have been fraught with difficulties.
The grace of attaining enlightenment was immense—after this, the relationship between Nuwa and Fuxi became even closer.
After saying this, Nuwa said to Fuxi, "Nuwa is now going to establish Daoist Abode beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens. Brother, would you like to go with me? It would be good for you to choose a suitable Daoist Abode for Nuwa."
"Brother, I'd better not go. The Human Race is still relatively new and needs some guidance; otherwise, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to survive in the Primordial World."
Fuxi shook his head and offered an explanation.
His words revealed that he was ultimately worried about the Human Race.
Now that Nuwa has finally attained Sage position, he can finally let his sister roam freely in the Primordial World.
Before he knew it, his younger sister was already able to fly independently.
Nuwa was deeply moved to see her brother so worried about the race she had created.
"In that case, I'll leave the Human Race in your care, brother."
Fuxi smiled calmly and nodded, revealing a gratified expression.
Then Nuwa raised her hand and pointed at a Golden Sparrow beside her, which instantly transformed into a golden Phoenix, lifting Nuwa up and flying towards the Thirty-Three Heavens.
When Nuwa attained the status of Sage, an astonishing aura shot straight into the sky.
Even the Zixiao Palace Beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens was shocked, and the violent changes in the atmosphere of heaven and earth even interrupted Hongjun's sermon.
Hongjun couldn't help but open his eyes, his fingers forming a hand seal within his sleeves as he tried to deduce the source of the incident.
As a Primordial World Sage, he understood the whole story in an instant.
However, this matter was somewhat unexpected for him.
Why did Nuwa achieve the status of Sage so early in life?
"Moreover, the Human Race has already emerged, which is much, much earlier than I predicted. Could it be that some unforeseen event has occurred that I haven't taken into account?"
"Could this matter be related to Fuxi again?"
"It seems that I have indeed become complacent since achieving sainthood, thinking that nothing in the world can threaten me anymore, and thus I have lost my vigilance."
"I must put aside this mindset and defeat Fuxi with all my might."
At the same time, countless powerful beings from the Primordial World were also shaken out of their state of enlightenment by this aura.
Sensing the Sage aura surging forth from Nuwa, all the powerful beings of the Primordial World turned green with fear.
Before the Dao Ancestor preached for the second time, they were still mocking Nuwa for being ungrateful and wasting such a precious opportunity.
But in the blink of an eye, Nuwa created Sage.
This was a slap in the face to everyone.
Nothing could be more ironic than this.
Especially Yuanshi and Laozi, whose faces turned ashen. They considered themselves the Pangu Orthodox Lineage, the first in the Primordial World, and were usually extremely arrogant, looking down on others.
Now, however, they are being proven wrong time and time again.
Compared to Di Jun, Eastern Emperor Taiyi's breakthrough to Quasi-Sage is already quite remarkable.
Unexpectedly, Nuwa went even further, directly skipping the Quasi-Sage stage and achieving the status of Sage.
The other powerful figures also had their own thoughts and began to murmur among themselves.
"Why? Why? When she first preached, this woman was no different from us. Why was Nuwa the first to become Sage?"
"Nuwa, among us, it was actually that Nuwa, who was ridiculed, who became Sage first. How can we bear this?"
"This woman clearly gave up the title of disciple of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, so why was she still able to become Sage? What extraordinary encounter did she have?"
"Could creating a race truly grant such immense Fortune? Perhaps I should give it a try?"
Seeing that Nuwa gained such great Fortune by creating humans, many powerful beings in the Primordial World also had this idea.
Especially the Daoist Minghe from the boundless sea of the Blood Sea.
This person had two swords atop his head, which were his two companion swords, 'Yuantu' and 'Abi'.
The more the Daoist Minghe thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.
I couldn't help but feel excited, as if I had found my path to the future.
If this place weren't the Zixiao Palace of the Sage Hongjun, he would have already taken action to create his desired race.
