Being in Buzhou, Cihang was, to say the least, extremely cautious.

This time, he not only chose a remote location but also used the Creation Cauldron as a foundation to set up a grand array for protection and concealment.

Yet, he never expected that even with such measures, he would still attract the attention of cultivators.

And not just any cultivators, but two peak Quasi-Saints.

Although Cihang had never met Fuxi and Nuwa, he possessed memories of the future.

One was a future Saint, and the other, a future Human Emperor.

Is it because I inherited the Human Emperor's legacy?

Cihang couldn't help but frown inwardly.

The grand array had already been exposed, and he could no longer remain hidden.

With their cultivation, if they forcibly broke through the array, he wouldn't be able to stop them at all.

"Cihang, a rogue cultivator from the South Sea, greets two seniors!"

Cihang stepped out of the grand array and bowed to the two.

"Fuxi and Nuwa of Fengxi Mountain, greetings, fellow Daoist!"

Fuxi and Nuwa exchanged a glance, clearly a little embarrassed.

Although their strength was considerable, they had never bullied the weak.

Two Quasi-Saints attacking a Golden Immortal's dojo – it was enough to make them feel ashamed.

However, it was also their fault for not investigating the situation carefully.

"So it's the two seniors Fuxi and Nuwa. May I ask why you have come and why you attacked my array?"

Even when facing Quasi-Saints, he still had to ask.

"My sister and I thought it was a grand array protecting a Spiritual Treasure, which is why we acted. We didn't realize this was your dojo, fellow Daoist. We hope you can forgive us!"

Nuwa did not act arrogantly due to her cultivation but politely explained and apologized to Cihang.

"This is also my oversight. I did not observe carefully. I hope fellow Daoist can forgive me!"

Fuxi also quickly expressed his apologies.

"So that's what happened. Since it was a misunderstanding, it's good that it's cleared up!"

Upon hearing this, Cihang let out a long sigh of relief.

He could also tell that Fuxi and Nuwa did not harbor any ill intentions.

However, their true purpose might not be what they claimed.

Although his array was considered Innate, it contained no true treasures or opportunities for Spiritual Treasures.

"Since the two seniors have come here, why not come to my dojo for a chat?"

With many thoughts flashing through his mind, Cihang politely invited them.

"Then we shall trouble you, fellow Daoist."

Before Fuxi could refuse, Nuwa accepted first.

"Please come in, esteemed seniors."

Cihang waved his hand, inviting them into the grand array.

Fuxi and Nuwa also saw the true appearance of the valley.

It was vast and empty, without even a single cultivation palace.

In their eyes, there were no secrets here, and naturally, no opportunities or treasures.

"My temporary dojo is simple. I hope the two seniors will not mind."

With a wave of Cihang's hand, green bamboo in the valley gathered and formed a pavilion.

"You are too kind, fellow Daoist. We cultivators do not care about such things!"

The two did not stand on ceremony with Cihang and entered the pavilion to take their seats.

"This is the Purple Bamboo Spirit Tea from my Mount Luojia. Please enjoy it, the two of you."

Cihang took out three sets of teacups, filled with a purple spiritual liquid that emitted a refreshing fragrance.

At the same time, a plate of yellow jade pine nuts was placed in the center.

"Excellent tea. Fellow Daoist, you are truly too kind."

"Indeed."

Fuxi and Nuwa praised them repeatedly.

They could naturally see that both the spirit tea and the pine nuts came from Innate Spiritual Roots.

While these were not much to them, they were extraordinary things among Golden Immortals.

"I'm just glad to be liked by two seniors!"

Facing two Quasi-Saints, Cihang couldn't help but be cautious.

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need to be so polite. Just call each other by our Daoist names!"

Fuxi and Nuwa had a very good impression of Cihang, and spoke to him with great courtesy.

Slowly, Cihang relaxed, and the three of them chatted happily.

Although Cihang's cultivation was low, his understanding of the Dao had unique insights, which made Fuxi and Nuwa marvel.

"Fellow Daoist Cihang, did you once listen to the Dao in Kunlun?"

Fuxi suddenly asked.

"I did indeed listen to the Dao in Kunlun. I didn't expect this matter to reach your ears!"

As soon as Cihang heard this, he knew what Fuxi was asking about and couldn't help but show a wry smile.

"It really is you. Did you really reject Yuanshi just like that?"

Fuxi looked at Cihang with surprise.

Even he was a little curious as to why Cihang would refuse Yuanshi.

"What's so surprising about it? Our paths are different. No matter how strong Yuanshi is, he's not suitable!"

Before Cihang could speak, Nuwa answered Fuxi.

"The vital energy and creation qi around you are so rich. You must also cultivate the Dao of Creation, right?"

Nuwa greatly appreciated Cihang, whose Dao path was similar to hers.

"Yes, my cultivation is indeed more inclined towards vital energy and creation!"

Cihang nodded in admission. There was nothing to hide about this.

As for the Great Dao of Life, he had not yet entered the threshold.

"I see. When it comes to the Dao of Creation, even the Three Pure Ones cannot compare to Nuwa."

Fuxi said with a smile, not continuing to press further.

Nuwa's attitude surprised Fuxi. Did she really think highly of Cihang and intend to take him as a disciple?

"Fellow Daoist, you must also be very surprised as to why my brother and I are here, right?"

Before Fuxi could think further, Nuwa spoke again.

"Cihang is indeed a little surprised. This place is too remote and desolate.

It's precisely because this place is remote that I chose to enter secluded cultivation here temporarily."

Cihang asked tentatively.

"Fellow Daoist, you should know that when I listened to the Dao in Zixiao Palace, I obtained the Primordial Violet Qi and was personally appointed by the Dao Ancestor with the opportunity to achieve the Dao.

Since the Dao Ancestor merged with the Dao, I have been in seclusion in my dojo, comprehending.

Not long ago, I was drawn by an opportunity, and there is an opportunity for me here.

That's why my brother and I appeared in this place."

Nuwa explained.

"Is there really an opportunity for you to achieve the Dao here?"

Cihang asked with a calm expression.

"No, I sensed it before. This is just an ordinary valley.

If there's anything different here, it's only you, Fellow Daoist."

Nuwa said, looking at Cihang.

"Me? You mean the opportunity to achieve the Dao is on me.

But I am only a Golden Immortal. How could I possibly touch upon such profound realms!"

Although he said this, Cihang understood in his heart.

The opportunity Nuwa sensed this time was likely related to the destiny of Human Emperor Jiutou Shi.

After all, Jiutou Shi had created the Innate Human Race and held the position of Human Emperor.

He inherited the destiny of Jiutou Shi's lineage and naturally inherited part of the destiny of the Human race.

"The Great Dao is profound. It's not necessarily that you, Fellow Daoist, understand the method to achieve the Dao. Perhaps it will inspire me!"

Nuwa looked at Cihang with anticipation.

Although Cihang's cultivation realm was not as high as hers, they both cultivated the Dao of Creation, so it was not impossible for him to inspire her.

Cihang did not answer immediately, but his eyes showed contemplation.

With the memories of his past life, he actually knew where Nuwa's opportunity to achieve the Dao lay.

Perhaps he could take this opportunity to gain some merit in creating humans.

As the thought arose in Cihang's mind, a willow leaf suddenly appeared in his sea of consciousness, stopping the words that were about to be spoken.

"I'm afraid I will disappoint you, Fellow Daoist. Cihang has only just stepped onto the Dao path.

When it comes to understanding the Dao of Creation, who can compare to you, Fellow Daoist."

Cihang immediately changed his tone, not daring to say more.
