Spirit Pearl

Kunlun Mountain.

Jade Void Palace.

The figures of the Twelve Golden Immortals vanished in a stream of light, leaving only the Yuanshi Tianzun sitting on his cloud bed within the vast palace.

His thoughts remained on the matter of the Tribulation.

The task of finding a successor for the Twelve Golden Immortals to take their place in the tribulation should be undertaken as soon as possible.

Although the Great Tribulation will not begin for Tribulation years, this matter is of great importance and must be planned in advance.

They are the foundation of the Clarify Sect, and absolutely no mistakes can be made.

To settle the karmic Settle Karma for the Golden Immortal of the Chan Clarify Sect, the person in charge of this tribulation must also have profound roots and abundant blessings.

Otherwise, they simply wouldn't be able to bear such a tremendous karmic Karma.

It might even backfire on the Twelve Golden Immortals.

Therefore, he must personally oversee the selection of this disciple.

"Fine."

"I will personally find some suitable disciples for them."

The thought in Yuanshi Tianzun's mind was settled.

These twelve disciples under his tutelage are the foundation of his Clarify Sect and the continuation of his Dao Lineage; they must not be allowed to suffer the slightest mishap.

It's only natural that he, as their master, should put in more effort for their sake.

The gaze of the Yuanshi Tianzun seemed to pierce through the endless void, landing on the palace shrouded in clouds and mist, exuding an ethereal aura, Beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Empress Wa's Palace.

"Junior Sister Nuwa... that Spirit Pearl in your palace does seem to have some connection with my Clarify Sect."

He said to himself.

That Spirit Pearl was a treasure created by heaven and earth, and it had been listening to the Dao in the Empress Wa's Palace for countless years.

She possesses exceptional spirituality, outstanding physical constitution, and is further protected by the Merit Fortune of the Saint Nuwa.

Moreover, it has a deep foundation and a long-lasting Fortune. If it can be taken under the wing of the Clarify Sect, it will surely become a great force in the future.

It can both replace the calamity for Taiyi and enhance the prestige of his Clarify Sect.

Killing two birds with one stone.

However, that Spirit Pearl belongs to Nuwa, Nuwa is unwilling to be tainted by the Karma of the Tribulation. It will probably not be easy to get this Spirit Pearl back from her.

But this matter concerns the grand plan of the Clarify Sect.

Even if it's difficult, we must give it a try.

Yuanshi Tianzun made up his mind and no longer hesitated.

With a flicker, he vanished from the Jade Void Palace.

Beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Empress Wa's Palace.

Deep within the palace, the Saint Nuwa was meditating with her eyes closed, her Surrounding Body radiating Dao Rhyme, isolating her from all external disturbances.

However, at that moment, she suddenly opened her eyes.

She sensed a familiar yet powerful aura approaching the Empress Wa's Palace.

Primordial Lord?

What is he doing here?

Nuwa felt a sense of confusion and wariness.

Since the last meeting at the Purple Cloud Palace, she had made up her mind to keep the palace gates closed, stay out of worldly affairs, and wait quietly for the Tribulation to pass.

This Killing Tribulation of the Mystic Gate has nothing to do with her, and she doesn't want to get involved in any Karma with it.

Now that the Tribulation is about to begin, the tense relationship between the Three Pure Ones is a well-known fact Primordial Wilderness.

At this time, instead of staying at Kunlun Mountain to plan for his Clarify Sect, Primordial Lord actually came to his own Empress Wa's Palace.

She instinctively sensed that this matter was far from simple.

Regardless, Yuanshi Tianzun had already arrived outside the palace, and as his master, she had no reason to avoid seeing him.

"Golden Phoenix, go to the palace gate and greet the Saint Primordial Lord."

Nuwa's cool voice echoed in the hall.

"Yes, Your Ladyship."

The fairy Golden Phoenix, who was standing below, bowed and then turned and flew out of the palace.

Before long, led by Golden Phoenix, Dao Body entered the main hall of the Empress Wa's Palace.

It was none other than the Yuanshi Tianzun.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Nuwa."

Yuanshi Tianzun bowed slightly to Nuwa, who was seated high in the main seat, as a gesture of respect.

Nuwa also rose from her cloud bed and returned the greeting.

"Fellow Daoist Primordial Lord, how have you been?"

Nuwa waved her hand, signaling the Golden Phoenix to serve the Immortal Tea, and then dismissed everyone else.

"Fellow Daoist Primordial Lord, instead of cultivating in seclusion at the Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain, what brings you to my Empress Wa's Palace today?"

Her words were polite, but the underlying sense of distance was quite obvious.

Yuanshi Tianzun could naturally hear it, but he didn't care.

He did not come today to reminisce.

Yuanshi Tianzun didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point.

"To be honest, fellow Daoist, I have come here with a request, and I hope that Fellow Daoist Nuwa can lend me a hand."

Nuwa grew increasingly wary.

For a Saint to utter the words "seek," this matter must be extraordinary.

"Fellow Daoist, what do you need my help with? Please tell me first."

Yuanshi Tianzun pondered for a moment before speaking directly.

"I remember that in your Empress Wa's Palace, there is a Innate Spirit Pearl that has already developed sentience and is about to Form Transformation."

"I wonder if you, fellow Daoist, would be so kind as to part with this Spirit Pearl and grant it to me?"

"This humble Daoist is willing to exchange a High-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure for it."

Nuwa's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.

Spirit Pearl?

What does he want the Spirit Pearl for?

She immediately connected this matter with the current Tribulation.

That Spirit Pearl was a treasure in her palace, containing the power of Zaohua. She originally intended to take it under her wing and train it as her Direct Disciple after it had fully Form Transformation.

The Yuanshi Tianzun has actually set his sights on the Spirit Pearl!

Nuwa did not answer immediately, but instead asked a question in return.

"Fellow Daoist, is your desire for that Spirit Pearl related to the current Investiture of the Gods Tribulation?"

Yuanshi Tianzun remained silent for a moment.

He initially wanted to find an excuse to brush it off, but then he realized that he couldn't hide this from Nuwa at all.

Among Saint, Karma and effect are intertwined, and Heavenly Secrets secrets are perceived; any lie appears pale and powerless.

Instead of trying to cover it up, it's better to be honest.

"Good."

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded and decided to tell the truth.

Fellow Daoist, your insight is truly remarkable.

"This humble Daoist wishes to have my disciple, the True Person Taiyi, accept this Spirit Pearl as his apprentice."

"This Spirit Pearl possesses extraordinary potential and is destined to be the master of my disciple, Taiyi. I hope you, fellow Daoist, can grant my request."

Just as I expected!

Nuwa understood.

But she absolutely did not want to get involved in this matter.

"Fellow Daoist Primordial Lord, I must say I cannot agree to this matter."

Nuwa's answer was direct and straightforward.

"This Tribulation is Killing Tribulation within your Mystic Gate."

"I don't want to participate, much less get involved in any of the Karma of this Tribulation."

"That Spirit Pearl belongs to my Empress Wa's Palace and has a deep Karma with me. If I were to hand it over to you, wouldn't I be willingly dragging myself into the vortex of the Tribulation?"

"Fellow Daoist, perhaps you should seek someone else."

It seemed that Yuanshi Tianzun had anticipated her reaction.

"Fellow Daoist Nuwa..."

He was about to say a few more words of advice when Nuwa interrupted him.

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need for further words."

"My mind is made up. I really do not want to be involved in the conflicts of the Tribulation. Please do not put me in a difficult position, fellow Daoist."

"Please forgive me, fellow Daoist, and return."

Nuwa's attitude was exceptionally firm.

A brief silence fell over the main hall.

Yuanshi Tianzun understood that Nuwa did not want to be entangled in Karma; this was her way of life, and it could not be forced.

She would never agree to exchange it for ordinary treasures.

But he was determined to obtain this Spirit Pearl.

His physical constitution and Fortune are extremely compatible with Taiyi, making him the best candidate to take on the calamity for Taiyi, without exception.

If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to find someone just as suitable again.

Having thought of this, Yuanshi Tianzun no longer hesitated.

The only recourse is to invoke that Karma that he was unwilling to mention.

"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, do you still remember when you Clay Creation of Humanity to achieve Sage Dao?"

Upon hearing this, Nuwa's heart tightened suddenly.

A bad feeling crept into my heart.

Then Yuanshi Tianzun continued speaking.

"Fine."

"Since you are unwilling, I will not force you."

"But... Fellow Daoist, do you still remember that when you created humans, you borrowed the Three Lights Divine Water from me?"

"In a way, you owe me a Karma, a favor."

"Today, I wish to use this Karma to exchange for that Spirit Pearl with you, fellow Daoist."

"Fellow Daoist, what do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Nuwa's usually calm and serene heart was suddenly stirred.

She suddenly looked at Yuanshi Tianzun.

He... he actually brought this up!

In her quest to create a human being, she did indeed seek help from the Three Pure Ones, and ultimately it was the Yuanshi Tianzun who lent her a bottle of the Three Lights Divine Water.

She did indeed owe someone a favor in this matter.

She could refuse Yuanshi Tianzun's request and was not afraid of his coercion, but this one Karma was one she could not avoid.

Among Saint, the Karma is of utmost importance.

If you owe something, you must pay it back.

Otherwise, it will become a flaw in one's Dao heart, causing nothing but harm to future cultivation.

A deathly silence fell over the main hall.

Nuwa remained silent for a long time, her heart Inner Struggle.

Yuanshi Tianzun did not urge him, but simply sat there quietly, sipping the Immortal Tea in his cup.

He knew that Nuwa had no choice.

for a long time.

Nuwa's clear, cold voice finally rang out.

"Good."

"I can give you the Spirit Pearl."

A barely perceptible look of satisfaction finally appeared on Yuanshi Tianzun's face.

"But."

Nuwa then changed the subject, her words becoming extremely solemn.

"From this day forward, from the moment this Spirit Pearl leaves the Empress Wa's Palace, it will have absolutely no connection with me, Nuwa, or with the Empress Wa's Palace!"

"Whether they live or die, whether they are blessed or cursed in the future, it is all up to fate, and your Clarify Sect will bear the full responsibility!"

"Fellow Daoist Primordial Lord, you must not involve me in this Tribulation under any pretext related to him!"

She wanted to act swiftly and decisively, severing this Karma completely.

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun nodded without hesitation.

"Very well, we will do as you say, fellow Daoist."

His only goal was the Spirit Pearl; he didn't care about anything else.

"Indeed, I acted somewhat inappropriately in this matter, and I hope you will forgive me, fellow Daoist."

He nodded slightly, giving Nuwa a way out.

"This Spirit Pearl pearl truly possesses extraordinary potential, perfectly suited to my disciple Taiyi, making it the best choice for his son. I had no other choice but to act this way."

Nuwa no longer wanted to waste any more words with him.

She simply nodded coldly and said nothing more.

She gently waved her hand.

Buzz!

In the center of the main hall, a flash of light appeared, and a five-colored pearl, spinning rapidly, materialized out of thin air.

Above the precious pearl, a spiritual light emanated, Dao Rhyme charm, and within it, a small spiritual entity could be vaguely seen, sleeping soundly.

It was that Innate Spiritual Item, the Spirit Pearl.

She pushed him away with her bare hand.

The Spirit Pearl then slowly flew towards Yuanshi Tianzun.

The Yuanshi Tianzun reached out and steadily caught the Spirit Pearl in his hand, a genuine smile finally appearing on his face.

"Thank you for your kindness, fellow Daoist."

He put the Spirit Pearl into his sleeve and then stood up.

"Now that the matter is settled, I will not disturb you any longer and will take my leave."

After saying that, he turned around, transformed into a Golden Light, and disappeared into the main hall of the Empress Wa's Palace without any hesitation.

Nuwa gazed in the direction where Yuanshi Tianzun had departed, remaining silent for a long time.

Until the aura of the Yuanshi Tianzun completely disappeared Beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, she waved her jade hand once more.

Boom!

The tightly closed gates of the Empress Wa's Palace let out a heavy, loud thud, sealing them completely.
