Dao Field Discussion, Borrowing Nuwa's Treasure

Nuwa fell into enlightenment, and the Dao rhythm surged into the sky, naturally alerting Fuxi, who was not far away. Fuxi rushed over and was first startled to see his sister enveloped by boundless Creation Dao rhythm. However, upon seeing Xuan Wazi sitting calmly nearby and sensing Nuwa's steadily rising, unimpeded aura, he immediately understood that she had encountered a tremendous opportunity. He bowed respectfully to Xuan Wazi, then quietly retreated to the side to personally guard his sister.

Xuan Wazi grinned at Fuxi, acknowledging him. With nothing else to do, he sent out messages to several old friends with a thought.

Before long, three streams of light landed successively in Nuwa's dojo.

The first was an elder wearing a crimson Daoist robe, with a kind face and a simple, honest smile. He was Old Ancestor Hong Yun, known as the "Number One Good Person in the Primordial Era."

The second was Great Immortal Zhen Yuan, wearing a Heaven and Earth Crown, with an ancient face, a yellowish-brown Daoist robe, and a whisk in his hand. He exuded a calm and majestic presence.

The last one was a young man in green robes, with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and a posture as upright as a pine tree, faintly surrounded by a sharp sword aura. He was Sect Master Tongtian of the Shangqing, one of Pangu's Three Pure Ones!

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Wazi, it has been a long time. Your cultivation... has become even more profound!" Old Ancestor Hong Yun spoke first, sensing Xuan Wazi's late-stage Hunyuan Golden Immortal aura, which was subtly touching the threshold of completion. He couldn't help but exclaim. He himself was still hovering in the early stage of Hunyuan Golden Immortal, and he couldn't help but feel a pang of regret in comparison.

Zhen Yuanzi's gaze also sharpened, and he nodded, "Fellow Daoist is indeed extraordinary. Your cultivation speed makes us ashamed."

Sect Master Tongtian was more direct. His sharp gaze swept over Xuan Wazi, and he chuckled, "Fellow Daoist Wazi, it seems you gained a lot from the last Witch-Demon War. When you have time, would you be willing to spar with this humble one in the Way of the Sword?"

Xuan Wazi chuckled and invited the three to sit down. "Of course, of course. There will be plenty of opportunities to discuss the Way of the Sword. Today, Fellow Daoist Nuwa seems to have gained something and is in enlightenment. It would be inappropriate for us to disturb her. How about we have some tea and discuss the Great Dao here, and await good news?"

As he spoke, he flipped his wrist and produced a set of white jade teaware. He then carefully pinched out a small pinch of tea leaves. The leaves were chaotic in color, with naturally inscribed profound Dao patterns on their surface. As soon as they appeared, they emitted an aura that calmed the mind and clarified the Dao sense.

"Is this... Innate Enlightenment Tea?" Zhen Yuanzi, with his vast knowledge, recognized it at a glance, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. The Innate Enlightenment Tea tree was a top-grade Innate Spiritual Root, no less than the Ginseng Fruit tree, and had long since disappeared. He never expected Xuan Wazi to have any in stock.

Hong Yun's eyes widened, and his throat involuntarily bobbed.

Even Tongtian's eyes flashed with a hint of interest. At their level, there were very few spiritual items that could aid in cultivation, and Innate Enlightenment Tea was one of them.

Xuan Wazi put on a perfectly feigned expression of "heartache" as he brewed the tea, muttering, "You guys are lucky. I don't have much of this in stock... Alas, it's because I'm a sentimental person." In his heart, he secretly said to the system, "System, is the Myriad Transformations Art simulation ready? Don't let me down!"

[Ding! Myriad Transformations Art has simulated the partial Dao rhythm and aura of Innate Enlightenment Tea, which is more than enough to fool these guys who haven't tasted the real thing. Unfilial Points +2000!] the system responded cheekily.

The tea was brewed, and the Dao rhythm swirled. The four of them sat outside Nuwa's dojo, sipping the "fake Enlightenment Tea" and discussing their insights into the Great Dao. It was mainly Hong Yun, Zhen Yuanzi, and Tongtian who spoke, while Xuan Wazi occasionally interjected with jokes or threw out some seemingly absurd but profound ideas from later generations, which often sparked deep thought in the others, making the discussion unique.

Time quietly slipped away in their discussion. After an unknown period, the Creation divine light that enveloped Nuwa suddenly receded, and the majestic Dao rhythm gradually subsided. Nuwa slowly opened her eyes, as if countless worlds were being born and destroyed within them, the profound mysteries of Creation flowing endlessly. Her aura had stabilized at the peak of late-stage Hunyuan Golden Immortal, just one step away from breaking through.

Her gaze immediately fell on Xuan Wazi. She stood up, tidied her appearance, and actually bowed deeply to Xuan Wazi!

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Wazi, listening to your words today is worth more than ten thousand Epochs of my sister's hard cultivation! Nuwa will never forget your guidance in clearing my confusion!" Her voice was clear and solemn, filled with genuine gratitude. She now understood that the key to her enlightenment was indeed to create a new life form with the Innate Dao Body as its form, and Xuan Wazi's earlier point that "Essence of Wutu is not the best" made her realize the need for a more suitable vessel.

Xuan Wazi quickly dodged to the side to avoid the full bow and stepped forward to support her. "Fellow Daoist, you are too kind. I merely spoke casually. The key is your profound accumulation and the mastery of the Dao of Creation, which allowed you to achieve enlightenment in one go."

Nuwa straightened up, her face filled with the joy and determination of enlightenment. She looked at Xuan Wazi, a hint of pleading and anticipation in her eyes. "Fellow Daoist, my sister wishes to undertake the act of creating new life. I have understood the method and form, but as you said, the Essence of Wutu is indeed not the best carrier. I vaguely sense that I need supreme divine soil that contains infinite vitality and can bear the origin of Creation, as well as a sacred object that can guide destiny and enlighten spiritual essence..." She paused, looking intently at Xuan Wazi. "Fellow Daoist, you are knowledgeable and blessed with great fortune. Do you know where I might find the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil and the Innate Gourd Vine? If you know, I beg you to guide me. This is a matter of achieving my Dao, and I will surely repay you handsomely in the future!"

Xuan Wazi was overjoyed in his heart, but his face remained calm and nonchalant, even showing a hint of smugness, as if saying, "You've come to the right person." He waved his hand grandly and said, "I thought it was something difficult to find! So it's the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil and that gourd vine!"

Under the astonished gazes of Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi, and the thoughtful contemplation of Tongtian, Xuan Wazi first produced a large clump of Nine Heavens Breathing Soil, emitting a gentle radiance, incredibly dense, as if it carried the origin of the Primordial Era's earth and vitality! The rich Innate Wutu essence and Creation aura invigorated everyone present.

"I present this to Fellow Daoist Nuwa to help you achieve your Dao!" Xuan Wazi said magnanimously, as if he were giving away a handful of ordinary soil instead of a top-grade Innate Spirit Material.

Nuwa was both surprised and delighted. She quickly accepted it, feeling the boundless vitality and encompassing power within the Breathing Soil, far exceeding that of the Essence of Wutu. She repeatedly expressed her thanks.

Next, Xuan Wazi solemnly (pretending to be reluctant) produced the Innate Gourd Vine itself, shimmering with colorful light and faint Dao patterns. He showed a timely expression of "reluctance." "As for this Innate Gourd Vine... alas, this item has been with me for a long time, and I have quite an attachment to it. However, since Fellow Daoist Nuwa is undertaking the great matter of achieving her Dao, how can I be stingy? I will lend this vine to you! When you succeed, please remember to return it."

He specifically emphasized the word "lend." He wanted to gain merit, and this precious vine might be useful in the future!

Seeing Xuan Wazi's "generosity," even lending out such a rare treasure, Nuwa's gratitude was even more boundless. She bowed deeply again, "Fellow Daoist, your righteousness is immense! Nuwa will remember it in her heart! I will surely repay you handsomely in the future, and I will return this vine in perfect condition after I am done with it!"

Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi stared dumbfounded, wondering when Xuan Wazi had become so agreeable. He just gave away the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil, a divine object, so readily? Only Tongtian's mouth twitched imperceptibly. He seemed to recall some unpleasant "scam" experiences and felt that such generosity from Xuan Wazi must hide some scheme.

"Then, my sister shall begin!" Nuwa took a deep breath, holding the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil and the Innate Gourd Vine. She gracefully flew up and arrived at a spacious valley at the foot of Mount Buzhou, where the spiritual energy was most abundant and the Dao principles were most evident.

Xuan Wazi, Tongtian, Hong Yun, Zhen Yuanzi, and Fuxi also followed, standing on distant clouds, holding their breath and concentrating, ready to witness this historic moment since the creation of the Primordial Era – the first time a new race was created by a post-celestial being!

[Ding! Key items delivered. Nuwa has entered the preparation stage for creating life. Mission completion +30%. Please be prepared, host. This is the crucial moment to gain merit... ah, no, to obtain legitimate compensation for your labor!] the system's prompt sounded with a hint of amusement.

Xuan Wazi stared intently at Nuwa's actions, feeling a faint resonance with the soon-to-be-born Human Race due to the Great Dao of Strength Fragment within him. He thought to himself, "Here it comes! My Innate Supreme Treasure! My Hunyuan Perfection! Perhaps I can even get the title of 'Holy Father'?"
