Showing Off, Truly Showing Off

Fuxi was genuinely baffled at this moment.

When had his little sister ever been so impulsive? She had taken on a disciple just because of some inexplicable fluctuation in her Dao heart. She had even fought over him with the Ancestral Witch Houtu, going so far as to gift away her companion spirit treasure.

Was this really his sister? Wasn't this a bit too casual, too naive? Had he been protecting her too well all these years, leaving her unaware of the dangers of the Primordial World?

If that was truly the case, then it absolutely wouldn't do. Fuxi felt he needed to properly educate his little sister.

"Sister, from what you're saying, Liu Feng doesn't seem particularly special. And you gave him the Bao Lian Deng just to take him as a disciple—is that really alright? Are you sure you didn't make this rash decision just to compete with the Ancestral Witch Houtu?"

"How could you say that, brother? Do you really think I'm that impulsive in your heart? And besides, my good..."

Nuwa had meant to say "my good disciple," but recalling the scene just now, she stopped herself.

"My disciple truly brought me a great opportunity. Brother, you saw my strength improve as well—all of that is thanks to my disciple." Nuwa shot Fuxi a smug glance, as if showing off that she had taken on an excellent disciple.

"Oh? Is that so? Tell me in detail, quickly."

Fuxi now urgently wanted to know everything about Liu Feng.

"Brother, a while ago, I wanted to check on his cultivation progress and his comprehension of the Heavenly Dao Inheritance Memories, and then preach the Dao to him. Actually, I was also very curious why he only now went through his tribulation and Transformation. Was it really because his talent was too poor? Clearly not. Liu Feng explained that every time he comprehended the Heavenly Dao Inheritance Memories, many different thoughts would 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's why he only now succeeded in his tribulation and Transformation. Just now, he explained some stages of a cultivation method to me, and it greatly benefited me! That's how I achieved my current breakthrough in strength."

"Hmm? What cultivation method could actually benefit you so greatly, sister?" Fuxi was truly curious now.

"It's Refining Essence into Qi, Refining Qi into Spirit, Refining Spirit to Emptiness, and Emptiness Refinement into Dao. I suddenly gained insight just from hearing these four stages, and after cultivating them, I obtained my current harvest."

As Nuwa spoke these four stages, her beautiful eyes were fixed intently on Fuxi, wanting to see if her brother would also gain insight.

But unfortunately, her brother had no insight. It was as if nothing had happened.

"Brother, hearing these four stages, you didn't gain any insight?"

Nuwa asked again, still unwilling to give up.

"No, aside from some surprise, I had no other insight. Sister, are you sure you gained insight just from hearing those four stages?"

"Mm, not only that—look, brother!"

To make Fuxi believe her, Nuwa extended her jade hand. In her palm, a point of light appeared out of thin air—very soft, transparent, and flickering unsteadily, as if it might vanish at any moment.

"This is..."

The moment the light point appeared, Fuxi was greatly shocked. Even his usual calm demeanor couldn't be maintained—he was simply too stunned.

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

Fuxi's voice trembled as he spoke, showing just how horrified he was to see the Primordial Qi.

This was Primordial Qi, also known as the Original Ancestral Qi—the most fundamental and pure existence in this vast world. It possessed infinite creativity and vitality, capable of giving birth to Heaven, Earth, humanity, and all things in the world. It also allowed living beings to comprehend the essence of the Dao and the rules of Heaven and Earth. It could be said that this Original Qi was the cornerstone of all things in Heaven and Earth, the basic element upon which all life forms depended.

As the saying goes, "The Dao gives birth to One Qi from nothingness." When chaos was not yet divided and all was void, a flash of spiritual light appeared—this was the most primal Qi. Then, this power began to evolve, gradually dividing into two completely different yet interdependent energies: Yin and Yang. Yin Qi was heavy and sank downward; Yang Qi was light and rose upward. The two responded to each other, coexisting in harmony like the Yin-Yang fish in the Taiji Diagram. As time passed, Yin and Yang Qi merged and converged again, blending and combining to form a new existence—the Three Bodies. These Three Bodies were not a simple addition but were formed through complex and subtle transformations, containing even greater power and deeper mysteries. When the Three Bodies completed their rebirth, their vast energy burst forth, rapidly spreading in all directions. Thus, all kinds of things came into being: the sun, moon, and stars; mountains and rivers; flowers, birds, fish, and insects; grass, trees, and tiny dust—all derived from this Original Qi through a series of wondrous evolutions. From then on, the world became rich, colorful, and full of life.

Even they, as Innate Lifeforms born at the beginning of the Primordial World's creation, could hardly ever see Original Qi, let alone cultivate it themselves. This was something they wouldn't even dare to imagine. Yet now, his sister had actually cultivated Original Qi within her body—this completely overturned Fuxi's common sense about cultivation.

The reason he believed it was cultivated was naturally because he and his sister had spent so many years together, often discussing the Dao. They knew each other inside and out. That was precisely why he was so shocked that he lost his composure. He also guessed that his sister's cultivation of Original Qi must be related to those stages she had just mentioned. But Fuxi had no insight at all—hearing those four stages was like hearing an ordinary sentence. At this moment, Fuxi finally understood why his sister said Liu Feng was her opportunity. This was far more than just an opportunity!

This was a treasure!

But why couldn't I gain insight? And since Liu Feng could stir my sister's Dao heart, why didn't he stir mine?

Was it that I wasn't worthy? That only my sister was?

No, wait—isn't there still Houtu the Ancestral Witch? Then does that mean the other Ancestral Witches are equally unworthy?

Other Ancestral Witches: They're talking about you, don't drag us into it. We are unworthy—no need for you to say it.

"That's right, elder brother. This is indeed Primordial Qi. However, it's not yet true Primordial Qi—I've simply found the method to cultivate it. I believe that in the near future, I'll be able to truly refine it."

Nuwa said with a smile. Clearly, she was very excited at the moment, and there was also a hint of showing off—Look at my disciple; the moment he arrives, he brings me a great opportunity.

Gloating. Utterly gloating.

Fuxi looked at Nuwa and couldn't help but complain inwardly.

Fortunately, she was in human form now—if she had her serpent tail, it would probably be wagging up to the sky!

And yet, at this moment, Fuxi was truly envious. To actually be able to cultivate Primordial Qi—this was something he had never even dared to imagine before!

What made Fuxi even more displeased was that he had heard those four realms but felt no enlightenment at all. Wasn't this too unfair? My good Nephew Disciple! Am I, your Martial Uncle, not worthy either?
