Heavenly Emperor Returns, Three Joys Arrive

Inside the Human Race's ancestral land, lanterns and colorful banners were hung. Today was the day the Human Race's Co-Lord Fuxi would pass the throne to the next.

Fuxi and Shennong had already made preparations, and countless members of the Human Race rushed from all directions to attend.

Just then, purple energy surged from the east for thirty thousand miles, accompanied by auspicious beasts and falling, lucky clouds. This was the sign of a Saint's arrival.

Xuan Yi descended slowly from the void with Nuwa, while Taishang Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Tongtian Jiaozhu also arrived on their mounts. In an instant, the entire ancestral land of the Human Race was enveloped by the auspicious aura of the Saints' arrival.

Seeing the Saints arrive, Yunxiao and Kong Xuan dared not be negligent. They quickly lowered their lucky clouds and paid their respects to the Saints.

"Kong Xuan! Yunxiao pays respects to all the Saints!"

Seeing Kong Xuan and Yunxiao arrive together, a meaningful smile appeared on Xuan Yi's face.

"Oh! Little Kong Xuan! You just became a Great Emperor and already found yourself a little Dao Companion!"

"As your master, it seems I'll have to propose to my junior brother Tongtian!"

Xuan Yi's words left Kong Xuan flustered, his hands clenched tightly together.

Yunxiao's face turned crimson with embarrassment, and she shot Kong Xuan a fierce glare.

"Oh my! Senior Brother Xuan Yi, it seems we are celebrating double happiness today! Not only has the Heavenly Emperor's position been perfected, but our disciples have also become Dao Companions."

Tongtian Jiaozhu, a man of hearty character, couldn't help but tease Yunxiao.

Seeing their Master acting so frivolously, Kong Xuan and Yunxiao remained silent, turning their heads away as if they didn't know him.

Xuan Yi and Tongtian Jiaozhu exchanged knowing smiles. How could they not see that the two were shy?

Meanwhile, Fuxi saw that all the Saints had arrived. He walked onto the high platform and swore to heaven and earth.

"Heavenly Dao above, I am Fuxi of the Human Race. Since the Three Ancestors of Humanity retired, I have served as the Co-Lord of the Human Race."

"Now that my Merit is complete, I shall retire to Huoyun Cave to suppress the Human Race's Destiny. I pass the position of Co-Lord of the Human Race to the great sage Shennong of the Human Race. May the Heavenly Dao bear witness!"

As Fuxi finished speaking, auspicious clouds gathered above the Heavenly Dao, and waves of Great Dao's resonance could be heard. Fuxi, surrounded by the clouds, flew towards Huoyun Cave. Thus, the Human Emperor returned to his place, and the Human Race would henceforth be led by the Earthly Emperor.

Nuwa, standing beside him, saw that her elder brother's Merit was complete. While she was happy that Fuxi had found a good place, she also felt a touch of sadness. Fuxi would now only belong to the Human Race. Even though their sibling bond remained, they could never go back to how things were.

Xuan Yi noticed Nuwa's dejection and comforted her for a long time.

The Human Race, having been governed by the Heavenly Emperor, now possessed a unified concept. Although they were still governed separately, they now held the concept of an Emperor in their hearts!

With the precedent set by the Heavenly Emperor, Shennong would lead the Human Race with even greater ease.

Everyone was immersed in the joy of the Heavenly Emperor's return. Suddenly, Nuwa clutched her chest, feeling a wave of nausea, and almost fell from the clouds.

Xuan Yi quickly supported her, his face filled with anxiety.

"Wa'er! What's wrong? Don't scare me!"

Supported by Xuan Yi, Nuwa recovered after a while.

"Husband! I think I'm... pregnant!"

"Pregnant? Pregnant with what?"

Xuan Yi, still caught up in his concern, hadn't fully registered her words.

"Silly! Of course, I'm pregnant with a child!"

Nuwa rolled her eyes at Xuan Yi, with a hint of reproach.

"A child! Wa'er, you're pregnant! I'm going to be a father!"

As a first-time father, who could understand Xuan Yi's current feelings?

Xuan Yi was so overjoyed he was practically dancing, not knowing what to do with himself.

The Sanqing, Kong Xuan, and the others nearby quickly stepped forward to congratulate them.

"Congratulations, Daoist Xuan Yi, Daoist Nuwa!"

"Congratulations, Mistress!"

"Congratulations, Empress Nuwa!"

Tongtian Jiaozhu laughed heartily and said to Xuan Yi, "Senior Brother Xuan Yi, I thought it was double happiness, but now with Junior Sister pregnant, it's triple happiness!"

"Hahaha! Thank you, fellow Daoists."

Since transmigrating to the Primordial World, Xuan Yi had never been this happy. He responded to everyone's congratulations.

"Wa'er! From now on, you can't run around. Stay at Jade Capital Mountain and rest well. Whatever you want, I'll get it for you..."

Nuwa was now doted on by Xuan Yi, who treated her like a precious gem, afraid of upsetting her.

"Wa'er! Let's hurry back to Jade Capital Mountain. Don't catch a cold!"

Xuan Yi's concern was so overwhelming that he forgot his wife was the Saint Nuwa. A Saint, who was immortal and indestructible, wouldn't catch a cold.

However, Nuwa couldn't refuse Xuan Yi's insistence. She bid farewell to everyone and returned to Jade Capital Mountain.

But they didn't know that in the darkness, a pair of eyes were staring intently at them.

Mo Yi had overheard all their conversation.

His target this time was Xuan Yi.

It turned out that Jieyin and Zhunti had been brutally killed by Xuan Yi more than ten times. Although they were terrified after returning to Spiritual Mountain, they still harbored resentment.

Coincidentally, the two were also colluding with the Outer Demonic Realm, so they proposed the idea of killing Xuan Yi to the Demon Realm.

Originally, Mo Yi's strength and cultivation level meant he didn't want to take this mission. However, Jieyin and Zhunti's betrayal of the Xuanmen caused a significant drop in the Xuanmen's Destiny.

The Primordial World's suppression of Mo Yi also weakened relatively, allowing Mo Yi's cultivation to recover to the sixth level of Saint.

It's worth noting that Xuan Yi was currently only in the mid-stage of Mystic Immortal, equivalent to the fifth level of Saint.

With his strength restored, Mo Yi decided to accept the mission.

However, Xuan Yi and Nuwa always stayed on Jade Capital Mountain, which was Dao Ancestor Hongjun's territory. Mo Yi didn't dare to confront Dao Ancestor Hongjun directly.

He could only patiently wait.

Then, Fuxi's Merit was perfected, and both Xuan Yi and Nuwa went to participate. This presented Mo Yi with the best opportunity to kill Xuan Yi.

The demons of the Outer Demonic Realm might not be top-tier in other aspects, but their stealth abilities were second to none.

He followed the two all the way to Fuxi's sacrificial site. Unexpectedly, the Sanqing and others also arrived, forcing him to wait patiently.

While waiting, he heard the news of Nuwa's pregnancy, which delighted Mo Yi. The reason he hadn't made a move on the way was his fear that if the two joined forces, he might not be able to win.

Now that Nuwa was pregnant, her strength would surely be greatly reduced, making it a perfect opportunity.

After Xuan Yi separated from the Sanqing and the others, Mo Yi quietly followed again.

Finally, seeing that the time was ripe, Mo Yi attacked without hesitation.

"Demonic Domain Descent!"

With Mo Yi's furious roar, boundless demonic energy surged out, instantly engulfing Xuan Yi and Nuwa.

This Demonic Domain was a special space created by the demons of the Outer Demonic Realm using their own demonic energy.

Those who cultivated the righteous energy of the world in the Dao Sect would have their cultivation suppressed once they fell into the Demonic Domain. On the other hand, demons would be amplified within the Demonic Domain. With this disparity, Mo Yi had the confidence to take on both of them.

Xuan Yi, caught off guard by the sudden attack and unable to dodge, could only choose to shield Nuwa in his arms.

The surging demonic energy instantly enveloped them both.
