Over at Treasure Distribution Cliff, everyone displayed their abilities. With a wave of Taishang's hand, dozens of spiritual treasures flew into his grasp. Immediately afterward, Yuanshi swept both hands out, and dozens of spiritual treasures flew toward him as well.
Finally, Tongtian directly summoned the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, which instantly swept away several hundred spiritual treasures.
The most shameless were Jieyin and Zhunti. Good or bad, the two of them stuffed everything into their robes without discrimination.
Nuwa, who had arrived hand in hand with Xuan Yi, stopped after collecting several dozen spiritual treasures.
Xuan Yi also casually picked out more than ten based on instinct before stopping. Six-Eared Macaque and the others behind him each collected several spiritual treasures as well.
The others were not so polite. Together with Jieyin, Zhunti, and the rest, they began scrambling for spiritual treasures. Before long, every spiritual treasure on Treasure Distribution Cliff had been snatched away.
While everyone was still savoring their newly acquired treasures, Xuan Yi waved his hand and put away Treasure Distribution Cliff.
This left the other great powers deeply annoyed.
Treasure Distribution Cliff had been able to bear so many treasures; it had to be a precious treasure itself. How had they failed to think of that?
Yet none of them dared show any dissatisfaction, because Xuan Yi was the one who had taken Treasure Distribution Cliff. Whether in strength or background, he was not someone they could afford to offend.
After congratulating Xuan Yi, they returned to the prehistoric world.
Elsewhere, Red Cloud and Zhen Yuanzi, having left Zixiao Palace, were speeding toward Wuzhuang Temple.
"Zhen Yuanzi, why are you dragging me along so fast?"
Red Cloud was still asking foolishly.
"You are carrying a precious treasure. Didn't you see the way everyone in Zixiao Palace looked at you? They clearly want to kill you and seize your treasure. If we don't run now, do you think we'll still be able to escape?"
Seeing that Red Cloud did not realize he was in danger, Zhen Yuanzi looked exasperated.
"That's right. You won't be getting away today!"
A bell-shaped phantom suddenly descended from the Ninth Heaven, directly trapping Zhen Yuanzi inside.
The one who had acted was none other than Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
Seeing trouble, Zhen Yuanzi immediately summoned the Book of Earth to protect himself from being harmed by the Chaos Bell.
"Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, this is a grievance between us and Red Cloud. Fellow Daoist, you only need to remain here quietly."
Unable to break through the Chaos Bell, Zhen Yuanzi could only helplessly look toward the battlefield nearby.
Why had they trapped Zhen Yuanzi first? The Book of Earth possessed unparalleled defense and was connected to the earth veins of the prehistoric world.
Although Tai Yi could break through the Book of Earth's defenses, the karmic consequences would not be something the two of them could bear.
Meanwhile, when Red Cloud saw Zhen Yuanzi under attack, he immediately wanted to rescue him. But two streaks of radiant light suddenly struck at him, leaving him unable to attend to anything else.
After the attack, Di Jun and Kunpeng appeared, surrounding Red Cloud.
"Red Cloud, hand over the Primordial Violet Qi. It is not something you deserve to possess!"
Kunpeng, who had long hated Red Cloud to the bone, could not help speaking out.
"The Primordial Violet Qi was bestowed by Dao Ancestor Hongjun. Forgive me, but I cannot give it to you."
Red Cloud already knew there would be no peaceful resolution today. He immediately circulated his magic power and charged at Kunpeng.
Kunpeng did not dare slacken either. His hands formed claws as he attacked Red Cloud with a face full of hatred.
Naturally, Di Jun would not stand idly by. He summoned the River Luo Diagram and attacked Red Cloud.
The three figures flashed and shifted through the air, trading blows without mercy.
Facing two opponents alone, Red Cloud soon began coughing up blood and gradually fell into a disadvantage.
Red Cloud knew that if this continued, he would certainly die today. He immediately poured all his strength into a fierce assault on Di Jun, hoping to force open a path through.
But Di Jun had the top-grade Xiantian Spiritual Treasure, the River Luo Diagram, protecting him. It blocked every one of Red Cloud's attacks.
Kunpeng seized the opportunity and struck Red Cloud fiercely in the back with his palm.
Red Cloud spat out a mouthful of blood and fell toward the ground.
Red Cloud was now utterly exhausted. Left with no choice, he took out the Primordial Violet Qi and said to Di Jun and Kunpeng, "I am willing to hand over the Primordial Violet Qi. Let Zhen Yuanzi and me leave."
Kunpeng, who had long hated Red Cloud to the bone, naturally refused. "We want the Primordial Violet Qi, and we want your life as well."
Red Cloud had not expected that even after surrendering the Primordial Violet Qi, Kunpeng and the others still intended to kill him.
He immediately roared in fury, "Kunpeng, you have gone too far! If that is the case, then don't expect to fare well yourselves!"
With that, Red Cloud directly self-destructed.
Boom...
The self-destruction of a Quasi-Saint was no joke. Kunpeng, Di Jun, and the others nearby were blown away, crashing to the ground and coughing up blood.
The Primordial Violet Qi also vanished without a trace amid the explosion.
The two had truly tried to steal a chicken only to lose the rice. Not only had they failed to obtain the Primordial Violet Qi, they had even been severely injured themselves.
When Tai Yi saw that his elder brother was seriously injured, he no longer cared about Zhen Yuanzi and hurriedly flew toward Di Jun.
"Elder Brother, are you all right?!"
Supported by Tai Yi, Di Jun's face was filled with sorrow.
"Could it be that I truly have no fate with sainthood?"
But things had already come to this, and Di Jun had no choice but to lead everyone back to the Heavenly Court.
Only Zhen Yuanzi remained, clutching Red Cloud's belongings and grieving in silence.
"Demon Race, Kunpeng, I will never rest until one side is dead!"
With that, he returned to Wuzhuang Temple and shut himself away.
Meanwhile, ever since Dao Ancestor's third lecture, Nuwa and Xuan Yi had been traveling through the prehistoric world.
Ever since obtaining the Primordial Violet Qi, Nuwa had constantly felt it stirring restlessly. After carefully calculating, she discovered that her opportunity to attain the Dao lay before her eyes.
Yet she could never comprehend that final step, which was why she had brought Xuan Yi to travel through the prehistoric world.
They traveled for several thousand years, yet still failed to find the opportunity for her to become a Saint.
Along the way, Nuwa had been constantly thinking. Xuan Yi neither disturbed her nor offered any hints. This was Nuwa's own Dao, and she ultimately had to walk it herself.
When they finally arrived at the East Sea Coast, Nuwa suddenly gained a trace of insight.
"Among the prehistoric world are Xiantian sacred beings, the Demon Race, and the Witch Race. Yet these living beings were all transformed into Xiantian beings after birth. Why don't I create a race of beings born with Xiantian Dao Bodies?"
With that thought, Nuwa grabbed a handful of earth and began creating life.
Before long, a clay figure appeared in Nuwa's hand.
Nuwa then blew out a breath of immortal qi, and the clay figure instantly transformed into a lively living being.
Before Nuwa could rejoice, the creature turned back into a clay figure shortly after it was born.
Nuwa frowned slightly and continued molding clay people, but none of them could last long before turning back into clay.
This left Nuwa greatly vexed, unable to figure out where the problem lay.
"Nuwa, try using this."
Xuan Yi took out the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil and Three Lights Divine Water that he had prepared long ago. He had specifically requested them from the Heavenly Dao, knowing Nuwa would need them to become a Saint, so he had prepared them early.
"Thank you, Husband. Give them to me quickly!"
Seeing Nuwa's anxious expression, Xuan Yi could not help kissing her cheek.
"All right, all right. Here, take them. They're all yours."
Taking the treasures Xuan Yi handed her, Nuwa immediately began molding little people.
Before long, three brand-new little people appeared. Nuwa squeezed out a drop of her essence blood and fused it into their clay bodies, while Xuan Yi also mixed his essence blood into them.
With the essence blood of the two of them and the two supreme treasures, the little people were born with Xiantian Dao Bodies and possessed the cultivation of Earth Immortals.
The three little people first learned to walk, then began running, and finally knelt before Xuan Yi and Nuwa.
"Holy Father! Holy Mother!"
Looking at the three newly born beings, Nuwa felt heartfelt joy.
She then continued molding clay people.
Before long, Nuwa had molded three thousand clay people, corresponding to the Three Thousand Great Daos. Then Nuwa and Xuan Yi fused their essence blood into the clay people, and three thousand lively clay people were born.
But Nuwa felt that this method of creating people was far too inefficient, so Xuan Yi took out the Qiankun Cauldron and Gourd Vine and handed them to her.
With the help of these two treasures, Nuwa's speed in creating people indeed increased.
Nuwa poured the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil and Three Lights Divine Water into the Qiankun Cauldron, then mixed in their essence blood. Afterward, she used the Gourd Vine to stir it before giving it a light flick, and a mass of clay people came into being out of thin air.
After using up all the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil in this manner, Nuwa had created a total of 129,600 clay people.
"Holy Father! Holy Mother!"
After taking human form, all the clay people knelt and bowed to the two of them.
"Husband, all things have names. Why don't you give these living beings a name?"
Nuwa looked at Xuan Yi and spoke softly.
"In that case, from now on, you shall be called the Human Race."
Nuwa thought for a moment, found the name fitting, and gladly agreed.
From that day onward, the Human Race stepped onto the stage of the prehistoric world.
