The emergence of the human race was driven by the Great Desolation's momentum. Not only Nuwa, but even the other Saints' attainment of enlightenment was closely related to the human race.
If Nuwa had not attained enlightenment, the others naturally would not have had the chance.
This showed how important Nuwa's attainment of enlightenment was.
Although the merit of creating humans was good, not everyone could participate.
Especially when the time was not yet right.
Cihang couldn't help but feel fortunate. If he had rashly spoken up, he would have truly invited endless disaster.
Heavenly Dao would probably not have tolerated him.
Cihang thanked Yang Mei once again in his heart.
If not for the willow leaf Spiritual Treasure left by Yang Mei, he would likely have been controlled by his inner greed.
Cihang's thoughts raced, but his expression remained unchanged.
Nuwa was inevitably somewhat disappointed at not receiving any useful advice, but she quickly let it go.
"The Great Dao is vast and boundless. It is not so easy to take another step forward.
Although I did not find an opportunity this time, meeting a fellow Daoist is still a worthwhile trip!"
If the Saint's path were so easy to achieve, no one would have attained enlightenment yet.
It should be known that she was not the only one who had obtained the purple energy.
The Three Pure Ones and the two from the West had also made no progress.
Seeking the method to become a Saint from Cihang was indeed asking too much of him.
"It is also Cihang's honor to meet two fellow Daoists.
You are a Saint personally chosen by Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and it is simply that the time has not yet come."
Cihang's words became even more cautious as he spoke again.
But he was still unwilling to give up. The opportunity was clearly right before him.
Cihang's mind churned, and he began to test the limits of the will of heaven and earth.
Seeing that the willow leaf did not issue another warning, he then took out a bottle of Three Lights Divine Water and a mass of Innate Breathing Soil respectively.
"Although the Great Dao is vast and ethereal, it still has traces to follow.
This is Three Lights Divine Water and Innate Breathing Soil, which contain a trace of the true meaning of creation and life.
Perhaps it will be of some help to you, fellow Daoist."
Cihang ultimately did not wish to give up just yet.
By giving away the Three Lights Divine Water and Innate Breathing Soil, he was indirectly participating in the merit of creating humans.
"No, this is too precious. I cannot accept it!"
Nuwa quickly waved her hands, refusing.
Even for a Quasi-Saint like her, these two spiritual items were incredibly precious.
Moreover, Nuwa noticed that the spiritual items Cihang gave were not few in number.
"To be able to befriend a future Saint with these external items, I am the one who is profiting.
Please do not refuse!"
Cihang said with a smile.
"Alright, then I, Nuwa, accept this favor from you, fellow Daoist!"
Seeing Cihang like this, Nuwa no longer refused.
She also discovered that both spiritual items contained the intent of creation and were of great help to her.
"Perhaps my premonition was correct. You are the opportunity for my trip!"
Nuwa said with a smile.
She knew that Cihang had his own calculations, but when these were laid out in the open, they were not repulsive.
If she could truly gain some enlightenment from this, she was willing to owe Cihang a favor.
"It is Cihang's honor to be of some help to you, fellow Daoist!"
Cihang was also happy because he had given gifts.
Today, by giving away these two spiritual items, his future gains would definitely far exceed their value.
To thank Cihang, Nuwa explained her cultivation insights in detail.
Fuxi also did not hold back, pointing out the shortcomings in Cihang's cultivation one by one.
The two's selfless guidance benefited Cihang greatly.
After staying for another hundred years, Fuxi and Nuwa took their leave.
"Being able to meet you, fellow Daoist, is my greatest gain this time.
"You can also visit Phoenix Perch Mountain as my guest in the future. Nuwa will surely offer you a warm welcome."
As she bid them farewell, Nuwa also extended an invitation to Cihang.
Nuwa had a premonition that the Three Lights Divine Water and Innate Breathing Soil would be of great help to her.
Even if they couldn't help her achieve enlightenment, they would at least advance her path of creation further.
"If the opportunity arises in the future, Cihang will definitely visit Phoenix Perch Mountain.
Farewell, my two fellow Daoists. Cihang also wishes you both enlightenment and sainthood soon."
After seeing them off, Cihang was also very pleased.
Although he hadn't directly guided Nuwa to enlightenment, he had still provided the sacred items needed for her creation of humans.
In the future, when Nuwa created humans and became a Saint, he would undoubtedly have a share of the merit and destiny.
The reason he had taken such a risk was not solely due to his greed for that small amount of merit, but more importantly, for the destiny of the human race.
This was directly related to his future safety.
When he inherited the legacy spiritual treasures of Jiu Tou Shi, he had also inherited a portion of Jiu Tou Shi's destiny.
Because of the numerous spiritual treasures concealing him, Nuwa and Fuxi hadn't noticed anything.
However, these spiritual treasure techniques of his could not deceive a Saint. Once Nuwa achieved enlightenment, he would be completely exposed before her.
He clearly had no connection to the human race, yet he possessed their destiny, which was an obvious sign that something was amiss.
He even suspected that the birth of the human race was a scheme orchestrated by the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun.
The purpose was to inherit the destiny of the Primordial Era Human Emperor and completely erase all traces of his existence.
The human race's ability to replace the Wu and Yao tribes in one fell swoop was likely also related to the legacy of Human Emperor Jiu Tou Shi.
If he were exposed, he would undoubtedly face a fate of eternal damnation.
When he encountered Nuwa, Cihang had already been contemplating a solution.
With his abilities, it was impossible for him to prevent the birth of the human race.
Since that was the case, why not integrate into it?
As long as he indirectly participated in the merit of creating humans, he could obtain a portion of the human race's merit and destiny.
With this merit and destiny, he could effectively conceal his own anomalies.
Furthermore, the human race was born with great destiny, and possessing their merit and destiny would also greatly aid his cultivation advancement.
It was for this reason that he had dared to probe the will of heaven and earth, even at the risk of scheming for the merit of creation.
This was not him plotting against Nuwa, as it was also highly beneficial for her.
With the Three Lights Divine Water and Innate Breathing Soil, it might accelerate Nuwa's breakthrough.
"Dong, dong, dong!"
"It's still not settling down!"
Cihang frowned, looking at the Creation Cauldron, which was making noise again.
"No, this is the first Nirvana transformation succeeding?"
Looking at the crimson flame emanating from the Creation Cauldron, Cihang knew he had misunderstood Yu Ling.
Yu Ling's figure was no longer in the Creation Cauldron, only a ball of crimson flame was leaping.
A powerful life force emanated from the flame.
The flame was no ordinary thing; it was the Nirvana Fire of the Phoenix tribe.
Under the tempering of the Creation Cauldron, Yu Ling had undergone her first Nirvana transformation.
"It succeeded in its Nirvana transformation so quickly. It seems Yu Ling's Phoenix Blood concentration is even higher than I anticipated."
With a flick of his hand, Cihang guided the crimson flame out of the Creation Cauldron.
As the Nirvana Fire emerged, the scorching flames surged, causing the plants in the valley to quickly wither and burn.
An endless stream of life force converged towards the center of the flames.
In an instant, the valley was transformed into a sea of fire.
At the same time, thunderclouds gathered in the sky, and divine lightning struck down, lashing at the Nirvana Fire.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Under the lightning tribulation, the Nirvana Fire did not extinguish. Instead, it emanated an even more vigorous life force.
A phoenix gradually materialized within the flames, emitting a melodious phoenix cry.
The imprint that originally belonged to Bifang also dissipated under the lightning tribulation.
Cihang could clearly feel Yu Ling's joy and a sense of closeness.
