Fuxi's Probe, Encountering Zhunti Again
After leaving Kunlun, Cihang bid farewell to Zhenyuanzi Hong Yun once again.
Hong Yun said she didn't care, but everyone knows the truth.
Even if the hope was slim, he wanted to give it another try.
Hong Yun was well aware of his current predicament, so he invited Zhenyuanzi to travel with him through the Primordial World in search of opportunities.
Cihang, on the other hand, returned to the temple to seek a method for a rapid breakthrough.
Hong Yun had always treated him sincerely, and he couldn't stand idly by when Hong Yun faced her calamity.
"Fellow Daoist Cihang!"
As soon as Cihang returned to Mount Luojia, she met Fuxi was waiting outside the mountain gate.
"Fellow Daoist Fuxi has not returned to the Empress Wa's Palace?"
Cihang was slightly surprised to see Fuxi, but she quickly recovered.
This time, having received an invitation from Taiqing, even Fuxi and Nuwa must be getting a little anxious.
"It's not that I haven't visited you before, fellow Daoist; I've come to pay my respects today."
Fellow Daoist, you wouldn't be unwelcome, would you?
Because they were already familiar with each other, Fuxi's words carried a hint of humor.
He was also using this to get closer to them.
"How could that be? It is an honor for Cihang that you could come, fellow Daoist."
Fellow Daoist, please come in!
Cihang overjoyed and led Fuxi into the Life Temple.
After taking their seats, the two chatted amiably and even took the opportunity to discuss some philosophical ideas.
After a long while, Fuxi regained his composure and asked Cihang a question.
"Does the Taiqing Saint have any difficulties to discuss with his friend this time?"
"If there is anything wrong, fellow Daoist, please don't try to be strong. Although Taiqing is a Saint, the Your Ladyship's strength is not weak either."
Fuxi's words contained both concern and a probe.
While others might not know, Fuxi was well aware that this tribulation of Taiqing's attainment of Dao originated from Cihang.
He was also afraid that Taiqing would target Cihang because of this.
But what he feared even more was that Cihang would be won over by Taiqing.
In these incidents, Cihang played a decisive role.
Losing Cihang would be a loss for both him and Nuwa.
This is not only Fuxi's intention, but also Nuwa's.
If Nuwa hadn't been unable to appear in the Primordial World, it wouldn't just be Fuxi present at this moment.
"Fellow Daoist, there's no need to worry. The Taiqing Saint is broad-minded; how could he possibly hold a grudge against a mere Quasi-Saint like me?"
There's no need to trouble you with this, fellow Daoist!
A thought suddenly crossed Cihang's mind, and he felt a sudden urge to test her.
"It should be more than that. I know Taiqing better than you do."
"Fellow Daoist, you almost ruined his chance to attain enlightenment this time. He will definitely not let this go!"
Fuxi was clearly dissatisfied with Cihang's answer.
Even his voice became low and somber.
This also reiterates that he was the one who spearheaded this matter.
"I didn't want to worry you, but it seems I couldn't hide it from you after all."
However, the Taiqing Saint did not target me; instead, he promised me the position of Vice Leader of the Human Teachings.
However, as you know, I cannot stand being constrained, so I naturally declined the Taiqing Saint!
Although Cihang only mentioned it briefly, both of them understood the deeper meaning behind it.
At the same time, he sighed inwardly.
It was only a small test that clearly revealed that Fuxi and Nuwa did not trust him much.
Unlike Zhenyuanzi Hong Yun Town, their relationship was indeed based solely on scheming and manipulation.
He had no vested interests with Zhenyuanzi Hong Yun, and at the time of their acquaintance, he was merely at the Golden Immortal realm.
However Nuwa Fuxi were different; although they were close in their relationship...
But once he loses his usefulness, he will be immediately discarded and forgotten.
Although I had expected it, I still couldn't help but sigh.
"I see. Taiqing has certainly made a good plan."
Fortunately, you did not agree, otherwise you would likely be targeted in the future.
Fellow Daoist, there's no need to worry. With the Your Ladyship here, even the Taiqing Saint cannot do anything to you!
After hearing Cihang's explanation, Fuxi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He was genuinely worried that Cihang would be won over by Taiqing.
"Cihang, thank you very much, Your Ladyship and fellow Daoists!"
Cihang rose and bowed to Fuxi in gratitude.
"Why should we act like this?"
Since you have rejected Taiqing, why not join the demon race?
"The demon race is now so powerful that even saints must be wary of them!"
Fuxi then began to consider recruiting Cihang.
Although Nuwa did not establish a religion, she was a saint among the demon race.
After changing her goals, Nuwa also changed her attitude towards the demon race.
To revive Human Dao under the suppression of the Heavenly Dao, she alone could not do it.
She not only wants to help Di Jun and Tai Yi, but also wants to control the demon race.
"Fellow Daoist should know me. I only want to focus on cultivation and enlightenment, and I have no interest in the struggle between heaven and earth."
I have no intention of joining any faction!
Cihang's smile vanished, replaced by an unusually firm and solemn tone.
"I'm sorry, I've put my friend in a difficult position this time."
Fuxi quickly apologized.
He was naturally aware of Cihang's attitude; he just wanted to give it a try.
Cihang always gave them a sense of being out of their control.
They need Cihang's wisdom, yet they cannot completely trust Cihang.
Unfortunately, Cihang refused once again.
Fortunately, their relationship with Cihang was closer than that with Taiqing.
Although the two did not become enemies because of this, they were still unhappy about it.
Even so, when Fuxi was leaving, Cihang personally saw him off from Mount Luojia.
As Cihang watched Fuxi's departing figure, the smile on her face vanished.
It's hard to say whether he was right or wrong, but ultimately, he could not develop a deep relationship with Fuxi Nuwa.
Even though he had greatly improved his strength, they still couldn't hide their arrogance.
Since there were no expectations, Cihang naturally couldn't say he was disappointed.
"Fellow Daoist, you may seem to be enjoying boundless glory right now, but you are actually facing numerous dangers. One wrong step and you will be doomed!"
A sigh filled with sorrow rang in Cihang's ears.
Looking at Zhunti's familiar figure, Cihang sighed inwardly, "These are indeed turbulent times."
This is yet another one trying to subdue me.
Although Zhunti is not the strongest among the saints, he is the most troublesome.
The West's later achievements were precisely due to Zhunti's planning and scheming.
"Cihang has met the Saint Zhunti!"
Suppressing her thoughts, Cihang bowed respectfully.
"Fellow Daoist, there's no need to be so polite. I am not the true form of a saint; just call me fellow Daoist!"
With Zhunti warm smile, Zhunti helped Cihang up.
"Even if it is an incarnation, it is still a saintly being. How dare Cihang offend it?"
Would the Saint Zhunti like to come and visit my temple?
Cihang Zhunti.
He knew perfectly well that Zhunti's presence here was naturally for his sake.
"Since you've invited me, I won't stand on ceremony!"
The two stepped into the Glazed Grotto-Heaven together.
Zhunti was also observing the Glazed Grotto-Heaven with his divine sense.
Looking at the group of spiritual roots in the cave, Zhunti couldn't help but show a satisfied expression, and his resolve in his heart became even stronger.
He had always thought highly of Cihang, but unfortunately Cihang clearly had a resistance to the West.
But he never gave up his concern for Cihang.
As Cihang made breakthroughs time and again, her importance in Zhunti's heart continued to deepen.
