Nuwa Mends the Heavens (Part 2)

"I know you're angry, Heaven, but don't be angry yet. Heaven will eventually be mended."

Chu Feng chuckled silently, watching her in silence.

"Snort!"

The Heavenly Dao rolled its eyes at Chu Feng, hesitated for a moment, and reluctantly separated a wisp of its power, which pierced through the void and fell into the Qian Kun Cauldron below.

Boom!

With the blessing of the Heavenly Dao, the Five-Colored Stone was instantly completed, transforming into a radiant, naturally imbued Heaven-Mending Divine Stone the heavens!

Nuwa was overjoyed and immediately picked up the divine stone, flying towards the huge hole in the sky.

As she pressed the divine stone into the hole, the entire Primordial World fell silent, and the scene of impending doom was replaced by the dawn of hope.

Nuwa stood on a cloud, a hint of confusion lingering between her brows.

She used her own merits and the Five-Colored Stone to mend the cracks in the sky, and her merits should have been complete. Why then are the four corners of heaven and earth still teetering on the brink of collapse, as if they might topple over again at any moment?

Just as she was racking her brains trying to figure it out, Chu Feng's voice rang out. "When the sky collapses, it's not enough to just Mending the Heavens; you also need Heavenly Pillar to support the four poles."

"Without pillars, the sky cannot be stable; without the four poles, the earth will be unstable."

"The Heavenly Pillar ..." Nuwa murmured to herself, a flash of understanding appearing in her eyes.

Indeed, although the sky is now complete, without the support of Buzhou Mountain, it is like a giant umbrella without a frame, which will ultimately not last long.

"But what in this Primordial World can serve as Heavenly Pillar to support this boundless heaven and earth?" Nuwa couldn't help but ask.

Chu Feng smiled calmly, "There is a divine turtle in the North Sea. Its body is enormous and its four legs are strong enough to serve as the pillars of the four poles of heaven and earth."

A glint of light flashed in Nuwa's eyes, and she immediately understood.

With a single movement, the two traversed countless miles of mountains and rivers, instantly landing on the North Sea.

At the same time, the enormous divine turtle that had been sleeping in the deepest part of the North Sea suddenly opened its eyes, which were as bright as the sun and moon.

A strange and immense sense of crisis enveloped its mind, as if Tribulation of Killing would befall it at any moment.

It couldn't understand it.

Since its birth, it has never left this place, nor has it ever made enemies with anyone.

Furthermore, due to limitations in his foundation, he was unable to take human form for a long time and had been focusing on cultivation. How could he have attracted such a terrifying Tribulation of Killing?

This sense of crisis was so intense that it even felt the possibility of its true spirit being annihilated.

Just as the divine turtle was filled with doubt and uncertainty, the seawater above silently parted to the sides, and two figures appeared in its sight.

One of them was an exceptionally beautiful woman with a powerful aura; she was none other than Nuwa.

The other man's aura was so restrained that it felt an absolute suppression originating from a level of life itself.

"The Saint Nuwa"

The divine turtle spoke in human language, with a hint of confusion, "I did not know that a sage has arrived. What instruction do you have?"

The divine turtle only knows about sages, but not about the Hunyuan Grand Unity.

Of course, Nuwa's current strength is more than enough to be called a saint.

Nuwa looked at the colossal beast before her, its enormous size almost occupying half of the North Sea, and couldn't help but admire it.

She parted her lips slightly. "Fellow Daoist Divine Turtle, I have come to ask you to accept my tribulation."

"A calamity?"

The eyes on the giant head of the divine turtle were filled with doubt. "I have no grudge against the sage, and I have always lived a law-abiding life. What calamity could I possibly be facing?"

Before Nuwa answer, Chu Feng sighed softly and said, "Divine Turtle, do you know why you possess boundless power yet are unable to take human form?"

Upon hearing this, the divine turtle's enormous body trembled slightly. This was its greatest inner conflict over countless millennia, and it asked in a muffled voice, "Please enlighten me, fellow Daoist."

"It's not that Heaven is unjust, but that you were born with a heavy burden of karma."

Your existence is for the sake of this world.

Now that Jieyin and Zhunti have broken Buzhou Mountain and the Heavenly Pillar has collapsed, it is time for your karma to come to an end.

With your four legs, you stand at the four corners of heaven and earth; this is the ordained cause and effect of heaven, and also your great merit in completing this world.

Chu Feng's words were like a thunderclap, exploding in Shen'ao's mind.

I see!

It turns out that my inability to take human form wasn't due to a lack of effort, but rather because Heaven had already arranged everything!

I was born so that I could become a pillar supporting the sky today!

A surge of immense grief and resentment welled up within him, and the divine tortoise roared, "Heaven is unjust! Why! Why must my fate be like this!"

Endless rage transformed into towering waves, sweeping across the entire North Sea.

However, the two figures remained motionless in the eye of the storm.

After a long while, the roar of the divine turtle gradually subsided, turning into desolation and helplessness.

It knew that the will of Heaven was absolute, and with the sage personally descending, it had absolutely no room for resistance.

It came to terms with it, or rather, it had to accept its fate; rather than struggling in vain, it was better to face it calmly.

"I see."

Shen'ao calmed down and stopped worrying.

A hint of approval flashed in Chu Feng's eyes as he asked, "Fellow Daoist, you faced death with equanimity. Do you still have any unfulfilled wishes?"

Shen'ao remained silent for a moment, a hint of longing appearing in his eyes, and cautiously said, "If there is an afterlife, I... I hope to truly transform into a Dao body and roam freely across the Primordial World land."

If possible, I would like to ask for the supreme position of sainthood!

After saying that, it found itself ridiculous.

How dare a being that cannot even take human form aspire to Saint Position?

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng nodded. "I promise you."

"What?"

The divine turtle thought it had misheard; its enormous eyes widened in disbelief.

The position of a sage—what kind of existence is that?

Below Dao Ancestor Hongjun, there are only a handful of people.

What gives this person the audacity to make such a promise?

As if seeing through its doubts, Chu Feng's extremely restrained aura slightly leaked out.

With just a wisp, the entire North Sea froze instantly, as if time and space had stood still.

"I am now the Hunyuan Taiji Immortal Venerable. A mere Saint Position is nothing to me."

Chu Feng said calmly, "Your tribulation this time is an unparalleled achievement for heaven and earth, and the heavens will naturally bestow immeasurable merit upon you."

I can guarantee that your true spirit will not perish, and that you Reincarnation and Retraining. At that time, your foundation will be far superior to that of this life, and your path of cultivation will be smooth and easy."

Hunyuan Taiji Immortal Venerable!

These six words, like the grand pronouncements of the Great Dao, resonated so powerfully that the divine turtle's primordial spirit hummed.

It had never heard of this realm before, but from just the tip of the iceberg that the other party had revealed, it knew that this was a terrifying existence that surpassed even a saint!

After the initial shock came unparalleled elation and excitement.

The enormous head of the divine turtle slowly lowered, bowing to Chu Feng: "Senior's great kindness is beyond repayment!"

"This junior... this junior dares to ask, may I become your disciple and take your place as my student?"

For it, this was the only way to seize this incredible opportunity.

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng laughed heartily, "Very well, your character is acceptable, and you are destined to be with me, so I will accept you as my disciple."

"Disciple Shen'ao greets Master!"

Shen'ao was overjoyed and respectfully performed the formal ceremony of becoming a disciple.

Chu Feng nodded in satisfaction. "You can rest assured and face the tribulation."

Regarding your reincarnation, I will have Houtu Daoist Houtu personally find you a top-tier innate foundation in the Primordial World, ensuring your extraordinary achievements in your next life."

After saying that, he gave Nuwa a look.

Nuwa understood and said gently to Shen'ao, "Fellow Daoist Divine Turtle, you will not feel any pain."

"Alright, I am willing to accept this calamity!"

Having obtained this opportunity, the divine turtle prepared itself to face its tribulation...
