Such a Show-Off, What a Show-Off

Fuxi was genuinely dumbfounded.

When had his little sister become so impulsive? She had taken on a disciple just because of some inexplicable fluctuation in her Dao Heart.

She had even fought Ancestral Witch Houtu over him and given away her companion spiritual treasure.

Was this really his sister? Wasn't she being too casual, too naive? Had he protected her too well over the years, leaving her unaware of the dangers of the Primordial World?

If that was truly the case, then it absolutely would not do. Fuxi felt that he needed to properly instruct his little sister.

"Little Sister, from what you've said, Liu Feng doesn't seem particularly special. And you even gave him the Bao Lian Deng just to take him as a disciple. Is that really appropriate?

"Are you sure you didn't make such an impulsive decision simply to compete with Ancestral Witch Houtu?"

"How could that be? Brother, do you really think I'm that impulsive? Besides, my good..."

Nuwa had originally wanted to say "good disciple," but the moment she recalled what had just happened, she immediately stopped herself.

"My disciple truly brought me a great opportunity. Brother, you've also seen that my strength has improved again. I owe it all to my disciple." Nuwa gave Fuxi a proud look, as though showing off the fact that she had accepted such a fine disciple.

"Oh? That's true. Tell me the details quickly."

Fuxi was now eager to learn everything about Liu Feng.

"Brother, some time ago, I wanted to check on his cultivation progress and his comprehension of the Heavenly Dao Inheritance Memories, then explain the Dao to him.

"Actually, I was also very curious. Why had he only undergone his tribulation and Transformation now? Could his talent truly be that poor?

"Obviously not. Liu Feng explained that whenever he comprehended the Heavenly Dao Inheritance Memories, many strange thoughts would always inexplicably appear in his consciousness. They seemed to be different cultivation methods.

"Unfortunately, those cultivation methods were all incomplete, making his cultivation very slow and even interfering with his progress.

"That was why he had only successfully undergone his tribulation and Transformation now.

"Just now, he told me about several realms of one cultivation method, and I benefited immensely! That was how I achieved my current breakthrough."

"Mm, what cultivation method could possibly benefit you so greatly, Little Sister?" Fuxi was truly curious now.

"It was Refining Essence into Qi, Refining Qi into Spirit, Refining Spirit to Emptiness, and Emptiness Refinement into Dao.

"The moment I heard these four realms, I suddenly gained enlightenment. After cultivating, I gained what I have now."

As Nuwa spoke of those four realms, her beautiful eyes remained fixed on Fuxi, wanting to see whether her brother would gain enlightenment as well.

Unfortunately, her brother gained no enlightenment. It was as though nothing had happened.

"Brother, didn't you gain any enlightenment after hearing those four realms?"

Nuwa still asked unwillingly.

"No. Aside from being somewhat surprised, I gained nothing else. Little Sister, are you sure you gained enlightenment just from hearing those four realms?"

"Yes, and not only that. Brother, look!"

To make Fuxi believe her, Nuwa extended her jade-like hand. A tiny point of light appeared out of nowhere in her palm, soft and translucent, flickering as though it might vanish the next instant.

"This is..."

The moment the light appeared, Fuxi's expression changed drastically. He could no longer maintain his usual composure. He was simply too shocked.

"Little Sister, this... this is Primordial Qi?"

Even Fuxi's voice trembled, showing just how stunned he was to see Primordial Qi.

This was Primordial Qi, also known as the primordial ancestral qi. It was the most fundamental and pure existence in this vast heaven and earth.

It possessed endless creative power and vitality. It could give rise to heaven, earth, humanity, and all things in the world, and it could also allow living beings to comprehend the essence of the Dao and the laws of heaven and earth.

It could be said that this primordial qi was the cornerstone upon which all heaven, earth, and creation were built, the fundamental element upon which every form of life depended.

As the saying went, "From nothingness, the Dao gives birth to one qi." Before chaos had opened, when all was emptiness, a flash of spiritual light appeared. This was the earliest qi.

Afterward, that power began to evolve, gradually separating into two utterly different yet mutually dependent energies: yin and yang.

The yin qi condensed and sank, while the yang qi rose lightly. They echoed one another like the yin-yang fish within the Taiji Diagram, coexisting in harmony.

As time passed, the yin and yang qi merged and gathered once more, blending together to form an entirely new existence—three forms.

These three forms were not merely a simple addition, but the product of complex and exquisite transformations and combinations. They contained even greater power and deeper mysteries.

Once the three forms completed their rebirth, their vast energy erupted and swiftly spread in every direction.

Thus, all manner of things came into being: the sun, moon, and stars; mountains and rivers; flowers, birds, insects, and fish; grass, trees, and specks of dust. Every one of them arose from a series of marvelous transformations of this primordial qi.

From then on, the world became vibrant and full of life.

Even Innate Lifeforms like them, who had been born at the beginning of the Primordial World's creation, found it difficult to encounter primordial qi, much less cultivate it themselves.

It was simply unthinkable. Yet at this moment, his little sister had actually cultivated primordial qi within herself. This completely overturned Fuxi's understanding of cultivation.

The reason he knew it had been cultivated was naturally because he and his sister had spent countless years together, occasionally discussing the Dao. How could they not know each other thoroughly? That was precisely why he was shocked beyond composure. Moreover, he guessed that his sister's cultivation of primordial qi was definitely related to those realms she had just mentioned.

Yet Fuxi had not gained the slightest enlightenment. To him, hearing those four realms was no different from hearing an ordinary sentence. Only now did Fuxi understand why his sister had said Liu Feng was her opportunity. This was far more than a mere opportunity!

He was practically a treasure!

But why couldn't I comprehend it? And since Liu Feng could stir Little Sister's Dao Heart, why hadn't he stirred mine?

Could it be that I'm unworthy? That only Little Sister is worthy?

No, wasn't there also Ancestral Witch Houtu? Did that mean the other Ancestral Witches were unworthy as well?

The other Ancestral Witches: You're talking about yourself, so don't drag us into it. We are unworthy, and we don't need you to say it.

"That's right, Brother. This is indeed primordial qi. However, it is not yet true primordial qi. Still, I have already found a way to cultivate primordial qi. I believe that before long, I will truly be able to cultivate primordial qi."

Nuwa said with a smile. Clearly, she was extremely excited and had every intention of showing off. Look at how wonderful my disciple is—he brought me such a great opportunity the moment he arrived.

Such a show-off. What a show-off.

Fuxi looked at Nuwa and could not help grumbling inwardly.

Fortunately, she was in human form right now. If she had her snake tail out, it would probably be pointing straight at the sky!

Still, Fuxi was truly envious. To actually cultivate Primordial Qi—this was something he had never even dared to imagine before!

What annoyed Fuxi even more was why he had not gained the slightest enlightenment from those four realms. Wasn't that too unfair? My good Nephew Disciple! Is it because I, your Martial Uncle, am unworthy?
