Nuwa: The Heaven-Opening Mark? Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Inside the main hall, the gazes of Houtu, Di Jiang, Zhu Jiuyin all fell on the mark in Zhou Ming's hand.

The Great Dao mysteries contained within, even just a wisp of their aura, caused them to feel their minds tremble.

"Elder Brother!"

Di Jiang's bold face was now filled with barely suppressed excitement and joy.

"This... this is the Father God's Heaven-Opening Mark?"

Congratulations, Elder Brother! Congratulations, Elder Brother!

Houtu and Zhu Jiuyin were also overjoyed.

Congratulations, Elder Brother, on receiving this unparalleled inheritance!

"With this Father God God's Primordial Spirit imprint as a catalyst, my Elder Brother's ascension to the Hunyuan Grand Unity Golden Immortal is just around the corner!"

A heartfelt joy also appeared on Houtu's beautiful face.

She knew better than anyone how long Zhou Ming had planned and waited for this day.

The Eon since the Witch-Demon Tribulation has finally yielded its most crucial reward today.

The Peak Hunyuan Grand Unity Golden Immortal is just one step away from the legendary Hunyuan Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

And this Heaven-Opening Mark is the supreme opportunity that will be the final step!

As Zhou Ming felt the vast Dao Rhyme contained in the mark in his hand, a smile appeared on his face.

He slowly opened his palm, letting the mysterious mark float and sink in his hand.

"Yes, after waiting so long, it wasn't for nothing."

"This Heaven-Opening Mark is finally in our hands."

Upon hearing this, Di Jiang chuckled.

"Elder Brother, there's more than one!"

"Once Fellow Daoist Tongtian has severed the Saint Position, won't the remaining two portions also be yours, Elder Brother?"

"Three complete Heaven-Opening Mark —that's the complete inheritance of the Father God Primordial Spirit! At that time..."

Before Di Jiang could finish speaking, Houtu and Zhu Jiuyin's breathing had already become heavy.

The three of them looked at Zhou Ming, their excitement almost overflowing from their chests.

If my Elder Brother could collect all three Heaven-Opening Mark, wouldn't that be...?

Wouldn't that allow one to reach the level of the Father God?

Zhou Ming also laughed heartily. He really hadn't expected that Tongtian would have three complete Heaven-Opening Mark.

This is truly an unexpected delight, a tremendous surprise!

"Good! Good! Good!"

He said "good" three times in a row.

"Once this Tribulation ends, the three of you will join me in seclusion to comprehend the profound mysteries of this Heaven-Opening Mark."

Upon hearing this, Di Jiang, Houtu, Zhu Jiuyin were all shocked, and then overjoyed.

"Yes, Elder Brother!"

They also wanted to see how the Heaven-Opening Mark inherited by the Three Pure Ones differed from the Pangu Essence Blood inheritance inherited by their Twelve Ancestral Witches.

They are also of Pangu Bloodline. If they can comprehend this Primordial Spirit imprint and verify it with their own inheritance, they will surely gain unimaginable benefits.

Zhou Ming carefully put away the invaluable Heaven-Opening Mark, then stood up.

"I'll go to the Empress Wa's Palace and ask Fellow Daoist Nuwa to lend Tongtian another helping hand."

"You shall guard the Pangu Hall well here."

After saying that, Zhou Ming's figure slowly faded away and disappeared from the main hall.

Beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, Empress Wa's Palace.

On the cloud bed, Nuwa, who was meditating with her eyes closed, suddenly opened them without warning.

She sensed something, and a hint of doubt appeared in her phoenix eyes, which contained the Dao of Creation.

This aura... is it Zhou Ming?

What is he doing here?

Wasn't the last transaction already over? She has fulfilled her promise.

Could it be that something has changed again?

Although puzzled, Nuwa waved her hand, and the gates of the Empress Wa's Palace opened silently, sending out a clear and cold thought.

"Fellow Daoist, please come in."

A moment later, Zhou Ming appeared inside the main hall.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Nuwa."

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need for such formalities. Please have a seat."

Nuwa asked tentatively, a hint of a joke playing on her lips.

"May I ask what brings you to my Empress Wa's Palace today, my friend?"

"Could it be... that you still want me to assist Fellow Daoist Tongtian?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ming couldn't help but laugh.

"Hehe, fellow Daoist is indeed intelligent."

"I have come here precisely to request that you, fellow Daoist, assist Fellow Daoist Tongtian once more."

"Of course, I won't let you help me for nothing."

"As agreed last time, you can offset one of the favors you owe me."

"What do you think, fellow Daoist?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the slight smile on Nuwa's face froze instantly.

Is that really true?

Her comment just now was just a casual remark, tinged with a hint of teasing.

She never expected that Zhou Ming had actually come for this reason!

Nuwa stared directly at Zhou Ming.

"It seems that Fellow Daoist Tongtian has indeed sought your help."

"Fellow Daoist, you should have obtained what you wanted by now, right?" Nuwa's words carried an air of certainty.

Otherwise, given Zhou Ming's personality, he would never have repeatedly intervened in this matter to help Tongtian, with whom he had little Tongtian.

Zhou Ming did not hide this from anyone and nodded frankly.

"Good."

I've gotten what I wanted.

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Nuwa's curiosity grew even stronger.

"Then congratulations, fellow Daoist, on achieving your wish."

She offered her congratulations, but in her heart she was frantically guessing what was going on.

What exactly does Tongtian possess that makes Zhou Ming so meticulously plot against him?

The Four Swords of Zhu Xian have already been taken by Taiqing. Although the remaining Qingping Sword is extraordinary, Zhou Ming may not be interested in it.

Innate Supreme Treasure?

Tongtian did not possess any treasures of that caliber.

What else could it be?

An absurd yet heart-pounding thought resurfaced in her mind once again.

The Heaven-Opening Mark?

The moment the thought crossed her mind, she dismissed it.

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

Nuwa almost burst out laughing.

The Heaven-Opening Mark is the legacy of the Great God Pangu, the foundation of the Three Pure Ones, and their most core inheritance.

Its rarity is simply unimaginable.

How could Tongtian possibly offer such a precious item as a bargaining chip?

I was really overthinking it.

Nuwa couldn't figure it out, so she stopped thinking about it.

She knew very well that even if she asked, Zhou Ming would never tell her.

Therefore, she wisely refrained from asking any further questions.

Seeing Nuwa's expression, Zhou Ming didn't point it out, but simply asked again.

"Fellow Daoist, what's your decision?"

Do you agree to this deal?

Nuwa snapped out of her chaotic thoughts.

She looked at Zhou Ming and finally nodded slowly.

"Of course I agree."

"Since I've already made a move once, making a move again won't hurt."

"Moreover, I can repay a huge favor to you, fellow Daoist. This is an immense benefit for me, and I have no reason to refuse."

By any measure, she made a killing on this deal.

"Good."

Seeing that she agreed, Zhou Ming nodded in satisfaction and stood up from his seat.

The purpose of this trip has been achieved, and his promise to Tongtian can be considered fulfilled.

"Since you have agreed, I will not trouble you any further."

Goodbye.

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Ming's figure slowly faded away and eventually disappeared completely.
