Yi Zi Approaches

"Not bad. You've finally become a Taiyi Golden Immortal," Nuwa's voice sounded beside Fang Xun's ear.

"Thank you, Teacher, for making this possible." Fang Xun thanked her again.

"This was also your own opportunity." Nuwa looked even more satisfied at the glittering Three Thousand Dao Fruits on the Myriad Heavens Dao Tree behind Fang Xun.

"I'm going to the Purple Cloud Palace to hear the Dao. Take good care of the newborn human race," Nuwa instructed. "But mind your limits."

When she mentioned limits, Nuwa hesitated slightly, but said nothing more.

"Rest assured, Teacher!" Fang Xun nodded in agreement.

However, before Nuwa departed, a Wizened Elder appeared there.

"Greetings, Dao Friend Nuwa." The Grand Pure Daoist gave Nuwa a slight nod.

"Dao Friend Grand Pure." Nuwa returned the greeting amicably.

"I have some affinity with this newborn human race, and recently I've had the thought of taking on a disciple. Could Dao Friend Nuwa grant this poor Daoist his wish?" The Grand Pure Daoist glanced at Fang Xun before looking toward the crowd.

The humans of today were at their most curious about the outside world. Groups of several, even more than a dozen, went out together to explore and understand the world.

Yet among them was one particularly unusual person. Leaves freshly torn from trees were wrapped around his body. He did not go out to explore or understand the world. Instead... he began to comprehend it.

He leaned against a massive tree that took several people to encircle. His thick brows furrowed unconsciously as he stared silently at a bird's nest in the tree.

Chirp chirp?

A Seven-Colored Sparrow poked its head out from the nest. Tilting its head, the little bird looked at this strange new neighbor.

This person tilted his head as well, imitating the bird's movement.

The bird blinked. Seemingly finding it amusing, it hopped about on the branch before spreading its wings and taking flight.

But the man looked at his hands, so unlike a bird's wings, and fell into deep thought.

"What astonishing comprehension." Watching all this, Fang Xun could not help but sigh.

From Fang Xun's future perspective as a Taiyi Golden Immortal, in nearly every future, this man gained some insight after pondering. In the most outrageous future, he directly comprehended a Flight Spell.

Though the first humans all possessed decent comprehension, this was still extraordinary.

After all, Nuwa had not granted them any definite cultivation. Only a strand of the Power of Creation remained within their bodies.

Simply realizing that they possessed power, then using it, was no easy task.

"Congratulations, Dao Friend Grand Pure, on obtaining such a disciple." Nuwa nodded slightly from the side.

"He is indeed worthy of cultivation." The Grand Pure Daoist nodded in satisfaction, appearing directly before the pondering man and tapping a finger against his brow.

"Foolish child, come back with me."

"Tea... Teacher?" Still ignorant, he did not know what immense opportunity this was. He looked longingly once more at the seven-colored bird, before his gaze finally fell upon the other humans.

They were all his brothers and sisters.

"Born human—today's cause, tomorrow's fruit." The Grand Pure Daoist shook his head slightly. An Exquisite Pagoda flew out and took him inside.

"This poor Daoist will take his leave." The Grand Pure Daoist gestured to Nuwa and Fang Xun, master and disciple, then departed directly.

"He is..." Fang Xun did not utter that title.

It seemed that this man had never had a name, nor much presence, yet he was one of the strongest Da Luo in the future, no weaker than the Innate Divine Saints of the previous generation.

"I'll be leaving first." Nuwa looked toward the Depths of Chaos. The Purple Cloud Palace had opened, and with one step, she entered it.

"The third time already." Fang Xun also looked into the Depths of Chaos. Now that he had attained the Taiyi Golden Immortal Dao Fruit and gained peculiar abilities in Time-Space, he could see the Purple Cloud Palace within Chaos and the Depths of Time at a glance.

Strictly speaking, he could now also be considered a "Fated One," capable of going to the Purple Cloud Palace to hear the Dao.

During the second lecture alone, quite a few new Fated Ones had appeared.

But neither he nor Nuwa mentioned it, as though by mutual understanding. Nuwa had even used her authority as his teacher to keep him here, unwilling to let him go to the Purple Cloud Palace.

He was not an Innate Divine Saint. He had no standing to make the Dao Ancestor owe him Yinguo. If he went to hear the Dao, he would instead owe the Dao Ancestor a debt he could repay until death.

Fang Xun shook his head, placing half his attention on the humans before him and the other half in the Chat Group.

Fang Xun: "I've taken off!"

Fang Xun displayed his group title.

Taiyi Golden Immortal!

Meng Qi: "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would've forgotten this feature even existed."

Meng Qi casually tapped it and removed the concealment.

One World, One Venerable!

Then notification after notification sounded. Things like Above Sacrificial Dao, Shore Yi Zi, and Ultimate Sword Venerable all popped up.

Fang Xun silently covered his face. What are you all showing off for? I'm getting flexed on from every direction!

Fang Xun: "Ahem, everyone, I'm a Taiyi Golden Immortal now. I'll be Da Luo very soon!"

Meng Qi: "And by 'very soon,' you mean several tens of thousands of Yuan Hui?"

Seriously, Meng Qi, are you that vindictive?! I should've made you wear women's clothes! Fang Xun grumbled inwardly.

Fang Xun: "Look, the Clay Figurines I prepared for you. Um... they haven't been divided into Yin-Yang yet."

Fang Xun displayed the Clay Figurines he had received from Nuwa in the form of an image.

Nuwa had crafted these few Clay Figurines with particular care. They were all works she was proud of, exquisite and brimming with vitality.

Ji Ning: "These are the Clay Figurines Empress Nuwa made? They really are beautiful."

The others also highly approved of Empress Nuwa's craftsmanship.

Hong Yi: "How is your Taiyi Realm now, Fang Xun?"

Hong Yi finally steered the topic back on track.

Fang Xun: "The Taiyi Realm stands on par with a world. And this isn't some Great Thousand World or Infinite Universe—it stands on par with the Primordial Wilderness!"

Fang Xun: "You all understand. The Primordial Wilderness is the only world. There are no worlds beyond it, and nearly all matter is concentrated within the Primordial Wilderness."

Meng Qi: "Oh, not bad. I don't need to explain examples of the same nature but different quantity, right? Those who get it, get it."

Fang Xun: "...Besides that, I also have abilities related to Time-Space. Put simply, Da Luo traits."

Only after truly becoming a Taiyi Golden Immortal did Fang Xun gain a deep understanding of these things.

Ye Fan: "That is quite impressive."

Hong Yi: "Then that will be enough."

Hong Yi: "I'll have to trouble you to make preparations on your end, Fang Xun."

Fang Xun suddenly furrowed his brow, struck by the nervous feeling of online friends about to meet offline.

Ye Fan: "So urgent? You won't wait until Da Luo?"

Meng Qi: "Going over now is still rather risky."

Ji Ning: "Once you reach Da Luo, we can go together and look after one another."

Fang Xun: "That's true. Once I become Da Luo, perhaps I'll be able to command greater authority and possess more leverage."

The other three Group Friends all spoke up to persuade him.

What Hong Yi wanted to do was simple: he wanted to try entering the Primordial Wilderness!

Hong Yi: "Thank you for your concern, but I'm going there to teach, not to fight. What use would Da Luo cultivation be?"

Hong Yi: "The human race has only just been created. This is the best opportunity to spread the knowledge I possess. It will be much harder afterward."
