Hongjun was making fervent preparations to deal with Luo Hou.
Chi Yu and Qing Wei drank and chatted leisurely until deep into the night.
After returning to Azure Dust Palace, Chi Yu began to ponder carefully.
Now that the War-ending Sect had grown, it was time to go out and take a look around.
The next day,
Chi Yu took Red Sparrow, made all the necessary arrangements, left Qing Wei in charge, and departed Floating Pagoda Island.
"Master! Where are we going?"
Red Sparrow had now reached the Daluo Golden Immortal Peak, only one opportunity away from breaking through to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm.
Since the last lecture, the War-ending Sect had gained quite a few Quasi-Saint experts.
Besides the true disciples, the original six inner disciples, and the original Three Clans elders, no fewer than ten more Quasi-Saints had joined. The War-ending Sect's strength had soared!
Moreover, Yuan Feng, Zu Long, and Shi Qilin were currently in secluded cultivation, attempting to break through to the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm. By the time Chi Yu returned, his War-ending Sect would likely have three more Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal experts.
As the sect master of the War-ending Sect, Chi Yu felt exceptionally at ease. There was simply no pressure at all!
Watching his disciples grow stronger one by one, while he himself had remained at the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal mid-stage for a long time, he wanted to seek a breakthrough. That was also why he had decided to travel.
After giving it some careful thought,
"Let's go to Buzhou Mountain!"
Red Sparrow nodded, then transformed into her true form and carried Chi Yu into the sky, speeding toward Buzhou Mountain.
Buzhou Mountain.
Two Innate Gods seemed to be on the verge of breaking free from their shackles and taking form.
The sky blazed with wondrous colors, and golden light shone brilliantly!
Yet before two breaths had passed, the phenomenon vanished, and they failed to break through.
"Big Brother! It's still not enough!"
A fresh, gentle voice came from within a sphere of light, followed by a deep voice in reply.
"Mm! Perhaps the time has not yet come!"
"Let us continue cultivating and await the right moment!"
"Alright, Big Brother!"
The two Innate Gods closed their eyes and continued cultivating!
The spheres of light sank back into the formation.
At the same time, Kunlun Mountain.
The mountain was likewise filled with wondrous colors, while the sound of the Great Dao permeated the air!
Three masses of pure qi were about to take form!
"Second Brother, Third Brother! Your eldest brother will go out first!"
One of the masses of pure qi floated into the sky. Thunder roared and lightning flashed overhead, and once it ended, divine light descended upon the pure qi.
A white-haired elder slowly took shape!
He wore a bright yellow Daoist robe and held a pagoda in his hand: his Companion Supreme Treasure, the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda.
"I am Taiqing! I am of Pangu's orthodox lineage, and today I take form and enter the world!"
Then the three flowers above his head all bloomed.
One flower.
Two flowers.
Nine flowers.
Nine flowers bloomed, making him a Heaven-born Saint, while golden lotuses surged from the earth!
Daluo Golden Immortal achieved!
Taiqing had become a Daluo Golden Immortal the moment he entered the world.
He looked out across the vast Primordial World and sensed immense Tribulation Qi. He then shook his head and returned to Kunlun, quietly awaiting the birth of his two younger brothers.
The Primordial World was incomparably dangerous. It was not yet time to venture out.
He then guarded his two younger brothers and sat in meditation to consolidate his cultivation.
Sun Star.
Two flaming embryos burned with unusually violent flames!
Sharp hissing sounds rang out all around them.
A moment later, they fell silent once more!
Within the spheres of light, two three-legged divine birds opened their eyes.
Yet after only one breath, they closed them again.
"The time has not come! We shall await the blooming of the flower before entering the world!"
The west.
A massive Bodhi tree and a mass of Innate Geng Metal Qi supported one another!
They too were radiant with divine splendor, seemingly about to take form!
Suddenly, a stream of demonic qi struck them!
The Bodhi tree trembled before falling silent again!
"Not yet! Wait!"
In a hidden place at the foot of Buzhou Mountain, within a Blood Pool.
Twelve strands of law power drifted through the air, and twelve blood cocoon embryos had already formed within the Blood Pool.
~
Such phenomena appeared endlessly throughout the Primordial World!
Time held no meaning in the Primordial World!
Chi Yu and Red Sparrow traveled and played along the way, eventually arriving at the foot of Buzhou Mountain.
"Master! We're here!"
"Mm! Let's go down!"
Red Sparrow folded her wings, and master and servant arrived at the foot of Buzhou Mountain.
They then began climbing. Now that their cultivation had improved, the pressure had lessened greatly, and they soon reached the halfway point.
"Phew! Having strength really is different! We reached halfway this quickly!"
Red Sparrow sighed in amazement.
Chi Yu shook his head and smiled.
"You little girl, if I hadn't insisted on bringing you along, This Seat would have reached the summit long ago!"
Red Sparrow curled her lips.
"Let's go! Let's see what opportunities this level has!"
~
After his fortune rose, Chi Yu encountered opportunities one after another. Along the way, he obtained many mid-grade Innate Spiritual Roots, as well as several Innate Spiritual Treasures.
He generously gave Red Sparrow two Innate Spiritual Treasures.
She was delighted beyond measure.
Suddenly,
Not far away, rosy light spilled through the air, and divine radiance flashed repeatedly.
"What's that?"
Chi Yu and Red Sparrow knew all too well what such a phenomenon meant.
"An Innate God is taking form and entering the world!"
"Master! Let's go take a look!"
"You little girl, you're awfully eager to watch the excitement!"
Master and servant teased each other as they made their way over, soon arriving at the place where the Innate Gods were taking form.
Dark clouds suddenly gathered in the sky as thunder roared and lightning flashed!
Two spheres of light slowly drifted into the air.
Indeed, Chi Yu and Red Sparrow had spent no fewer than a thousand years traveling and playing before reaching Buzhou Mountain.
The Innate Gods whose time had not come before now all sensed that the day of their transformation had arrived.
First was Kunlun Mountain, where the Three Pure Ones reunited!
A thousand years after Taiqing entered the world,
Yuqing emerged, appearing as a middle-aged man. He was a Daluo Golden Immortal upon birth.
Shangqing followed close behind, appearing as a young man. He too was a Daluo Golden Immortal upon birth.
The three Innate Gods all considered themselves Pangu's orthodox lineage and remained on Kunlun Mountain.
Returning to the present,
the two embryos on Buzhou Mountain began undergoing heavenly lightning as they took form.
"Not bad aptitude! Both are undergoing the Eight-Nine Tribulation!"
"I just wonder which two Innate Gods they are!"
Chi Yu thought.
The heavenly tribulation soon passed.
On the left appeared a graceful woman with a human body and snake tail, a jade-like face, and a shy, delicate bearing!
On the right appeared a handsome, refined young man with an air of divine charm, holding an ancient zither.
Before the two Innate Gods had even fully completed their birth, the three flowers above their heads bloomed.
The woman bloomed eight and a half flowers, while the man bloomed eight.
Chi Yu stared fixedly at the woman and blurted out a crude exclamation.
"Damn! Nüwa!"
Yes, these two spheres of light were the Innate Gods Fu Xi and Nüwa, siblings residing on Buzhou Mountain.
Having successfully advanced to the Daluo Golden Immortal realm, the siblings opened their eyes.
They suddenly discovered two pairs of eyes watching them nearby.
Chi Yu smiled and walked forward with Red Sparrow.
Fu Xi sensed Chi Yu and Red Sparrow, yet could see through neither of them. He hurriedly gave Nüwa a look, then bowed deeply!
"Fu Xi and Nüwa pay respects to the two Seniors!"
Chi Yu laughed heartily.
"Please rise quickly, Fellow Daoists!"
Seeing the confusion on Fu Xi and Nüwa's faces, Chi Yu explained.
"This Seat was passing through this place and saw divine light spilling everywhere, so I brought this girl over to take a look. I thought it was some great opportunity, but I never expected it to be the two of you taking form and entering the world."
"You two have excellent aptitude! Very good indeed! You were both Daluo Golden Immortals from the moment you entered the world!"
His doubts dispelled, Fu Xi relaxed.
"Senior flatters us! We are merely grains of dust within this Primordial World, unworthy of mention, unworthy of mention!"
Chi Yu's face darkened! He thought to himself.
Damn it, This Seat really is dust! Did you have to be so direct?
"Why not enter my cave abode and rest for a while, Senior? We can discuss the Dao?"
Fu Xi was naturally hospitable. Seeing that Chi Yu and the others bore no ill intent and possessed formidable strength, he wished to befriend them.
"Very well!"
"Excellent! Fellow Daoist, please!"
Upon arriving at the cave abode, Nüwa poured tea for them, then withdrew to one side.
"May I ask Fellow Daoist's honored name? Which immortal mountain or treasure island do you reside upon?"
"Oh! This Seat is Chi Yu, known as Azure Dust, merely an independent cultivator from Floating Pagoda Island!"
Chi Yu deliberately put on an air of mystery.
Yet Fu Xi and Nüwa widened their eyes upon hearing this, then bowed and knelt!
"We pay respects to the Azure Dust Battle Ancestor! We failed to recognize a true god and beg Your Excellency's forgiveness!"
"Oh? You recognize This Seat?"
"Your Excellency may not know this, but while we were still embryos, we heard the sounds of the Great Dao many times. Naturally, we recognized you!"
"Oh? So that's how it is!"
It turned out that when Chi Yu announced his teachings to the Primordial World, all these Innate Gods had sensed it!
They simply had not yet reached the time to enter the world, so they had not gone to Floating Pagoda Island.
"Hahaha! No matter! Rise!"
"Thank you, Battle Ancestor!"
Afterward, Fu Xi became uncomfortable instead, standing to one side, unsure whether to stand or sit!
Chi Yu shook his head and smiled.
"It's fine! I am the guest, and you are the host. The guest follows the host's lead. Little Friend Fu Xi, do not be nervous or restrained!"
That's right! This is my home, so why the hell am I nervous?
In the end, Fu Xi sat trembling before Chi Yu.
Then they chatted casually.
Fu Xi was quite a good fellow; his temperament greatly pleased Chi Yu.
Nüwa, however, seemed to possess the pride innate to primordial divine beings. She was somewhat aloof and not good with words.
For the next while, Chi Yu temporarily settled down in Fu Xi and Nüwa's cave dwelling.
As time passed, Fu Xi and Nüwa gradually became more familiar with Chi Yu.
Nüwa was no longer as cold and reserved as before.
This stay lasted a hundred years.
One day, Fu Xi and Nüwa seemed to be discussing something.
Then they came before Chi Yu and dropped to their knees.
"Battle Ancestor, please accept us as your disciples!"
Fu Xi had considered it carefully. Such a mighty expert must not be missed.
The War-ending Sect was now the foremost great sect in the Primordial World, its reputation spreading far and wide.
Moreover, Qing Chen, the sect leader, was a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.
Chi Yu was initially stunned, then shook his head.
"Your destined opportunity does not lie with This Seat!"
Fu Xi and Nüwa froze, then understood. The Battle Ancestor must have found their aptitude and foundations lacking.
The brother and sister exchanged a glance, shook their heads, and turned to leave.
But how could Chi Yu, who did not believe in fate, cooperate with the Heavenly Dao?
So what if they were Hongjun's future disciples? Since This Seat had encountered them, they belonged to This Seat.
Even if Hongjun came, even if the Heavenly Dao personally descended, it would be useless.
This Seat would accept Fu Xi and Nüwa!
"Wait!"
"When did This Seat ever say that I would not accept you?"
Fu Xi and Nüwa were stunned. They halted, then turned around and eagerly returned before Chi Yu, kneeling once more.
"Disciple Fu Xi pays respects to Master!"
"Disciple Nüwa pays respects to Master!"
"Hahahaha! Good! Rise, both of you! By entering my sect, you enter the War-ending Sect. Remember the Gore Sect Doctrine well!"
Chi Yu pointed a finger, and two streams of divine light shot into Fu Xi and Nüwa's minds.
"This is the Gore Sect Doctrine and our sect's sacred cultivation method! Remember it well and cultivate diligently!"
As disciples of the sect leader, Fu Xi and Nüwa were automatically promoted to true disciples. Given their aptitude and foundations, they were indeed worthy of such positions.
Sensing the sacred cultivation method within their minds, Fu Xi and Nüwa were delighted.
"Fu Xi thanks Master for bestowing this method!"
"Nüwa thanks Master for this method!"
"Mm! I also have a sacred body-tempering method here. Cultivate it diligently. Once you break through to the Quasi-Saint realm, I will teach it to you!"
"Disciple will remember!"
Chi Yu then looked at Nüwa.
"Nüwa! How much have you comprehended of the Creation Law?"
Nüwa was startled, then replied:
"Reporting to Master, this disciple's aptitude is dull. At present, I have comprehended less than forty percent."
This disciple was remarkable! She had comprehended thirty percent just after being born. As expected of the future Holy Mother of the Human Clan.
"Mm! Not bad!"
Suddenly, Chi Yu had an idea.
What would happen if Nüwa created humans ahead of time?
After a moment, he dismissed the thought. The Primordial World was currently in chaos; for the Human Clan to be born too early would be detrimental to them.
"Another day, follow This Seat back to Floating Pagoda Island. It will benefit your comprehension of the Dao of Creation."
"Yes, Master!"
"Mm! Go and contemplate it. If there is anything you do not understand, come ask your master!"
The War of Immortals and Demons was still far away. Since he had nothing else to do, there was no harm in giving them more guidance!
"Yes, Master! This disciple takes his leave!"
Fu Xi and Nüwa then excitedly returned to their residence and began meditating in contemplation.
Chi Yu rose and left the cave dwelling.
"It is time to continue climbing Buzhou Mountain. I wonder whether its summit holds something that can aid comprehension of the Law of Force!"
Summoning Red Sparrow, master and servant left Fu Xi and Nüwa's cave dwelling and continued climbing Buzhou Mountain.
Before you continue
