I Seem to Have Fallen for Her

Xuan Yi and his two companions had just reached the mid-slope of Buzhou Mountain when they encountered an incredibly beautiful woman.

The woman was dressed in a cyan long gown, and both her figure and her beauty were perfection itself, especially her pair of large, soulful eyes.

Xuan Yi almost drooled just looking at her.

If she were in the 21st century, no other celebrity would stand a chance; she'd completely dominate.

With just one glance, Xuan Yi couldn't tear his eyes away. As someone who had been single in his past life, how could he resist such temptation?

"I am Hongjun's son, the strongest second-generation immortal!"

"There's no one in this Primordial Chaos I'm not worthy of. How should I approach her?"

After all, Xuan Yi now had status, good looks, and strength. Well, in others' eyes, he was still just an Earth Immortal.

He couldn't just walk up and say, "My cultivation is a disguise; let's fight if you don't believe me." That would be insane.

"Yaochi, go and greet that fellow Daoist."

"Be careful not to offend her."

It's always easier for women to approach each other, so this task would be much simpler for Yaochi.

"Yes, Young Master."

When Xuan Yi spoke, Yaochi naturally didn't dare disobey and immediately flew towards the woman in the cyan dress.

"Fellow Daoist, I am a servant girl under Ancestor Hongjun of Jade Capital Mountain. I hope you can forgive my presumption today."

It's important to state your background first when you have one, Yaochi knew this much.

"This is my Young Master, the son of Ancestor Hongjun."

Upon hearing Yaochi mention him, Xuan Yi immediately plucked a fresh flower and walked towards the woman in the cyan dress.

In his mind, he had already thought of names for their future children.

With a slight acceleration, Xuan Yi arrived beside the woman in the cyan dress.

"This humble one was traveling and chanced upon you, fellow Daoist. I apologize for any disturbance and hope you can forgive me."

The woman in the cyan dress was still immersed in Yaochi's mention of "the son of Ancestor Hongjun" and hadn't recovered.

She certainly knew who Ancestor Hongjun was—the most powerful being in the Primordial Chaos.

"Nuwa greets you, fellow Daoist."

Hearing Xuan Yi's greeting, the woman in the cyan dress quickly responded.

"You are Nuwa?"

Xuan Yi was shocked. Who didn't know the title "Mother of Earth"?

"Do you know me, fellow Daoist?"

"No, no, I've merely heard that there are two great beings on Buzhou Mountain named Fuxi and Nuwa.

I just didn't expect fellow Daoist Nuwa to be such an exquisite beauty."

Xuan Yi obviously couldn't say he was a transmigrator, so he just found a random excuse to gloss over it.

"You flatter me, fellow Daoist."

Nuwa covered her mouth and smiled, her face flushing with embarrassment.

She had lived on Buzhou Mountain since her birth and had never been praised like this by anyone other than her brother, which made her a bit shy.

Xuan Yi observed her with keen detail.

Seeing Nuwa's expression, he knew she wasn't displeased and immediately pressed his advantage.

"Only a beautiful person deserves beautiful things. This flower perfectly complements your exquisite beauty."

With that, he handed the flower in his hand to Nuwa.

Nuwa, having had no contact with outsiders, couldn't withstand Xuan Yi's intense offensive. Her eyes widened, and her heart began to pound wildly.

"F-fellow Daoist, I have something to attend to, so I must take my leave."

Unable to bear Xuan Yi's enthusiasm, Nuwa even stammered.

With that, she turned and flew away on her cloud without looking back.

"How embarrassing! But he's quite handsome too, and seems like a good match for me."

Flying through the air, Nuwa thought of Xuan Yi's earlier ardor, and her cheeks couldn't help but heat up.

"Why did she run off like that?"

Xuan Yi, left standing there, was dumbfounded. Having been single for millennia, he had no idea what girls were thinking.

"Is my first attempt at romance already a failure? Next time I see her, I'll definitely win her over!"

He encouraged himself silently and then continued his exploration of Buzhou Mountain.

Unlike other places, Buzhou Mountain, with Pangu's legacy, was arguably the finest blessed land in the world.

However, precisely because of this, a strong oppressive aura existed from the foot of the mountain, growing more intense as one ascended.

The creatures born on Buzhou Mountain were unaffected, but it was difficult for outsiders to get close.

However, this had its benefits: Buzhou Mountain was covered in treasures, with flowers and immortal herbs everywhere you looked.

Many of these precious spiritual medicines could be found occasionally not far away, without needing to search specifically. Of course, Xuan Yi looked down on all of them.

"Buzhou Mountain is truly a treasure trove. If it could be refined into a magic treasure, it would undoubtedly be the foremost treasure in the Primordial Chaos."

One must remember that the Heaven-Overturning Seal, refined by Primordial using only a fragment of Buzhou Mountain, shone brilliantly during the Investiture of War conflict.

However, this idea was utterly impossible to realize. A trace of Pangu's consciousness still existed on Buzhou Mountain, and no one could move it.

Furthermore, Buzhou Mountain's role in the Primordial Chaos was too significant. As the pillar supporting heaven and earth, if it were to fall...

The celestial river would flow backward, Primordial Chaos malevolent energy would erupt, and countless living beings would be annihilated. Who would dare to bear such immense karma?

"Haotian, Yaochi, wait for me here. I am going to ascend to the summit of Buzhou Mountain."

With that, he headed towards the summit.

Throughout history, every traverser had to ascend Buzhou Mountain once, and Xuan Yi was no exception.

After walking for a thousand years, Xuan Yi finally reached three-quarters of the way up Buzhou Mountain.

"Hoo, this pressure is truly terrifying."

"But it's still bearable. This is thanks to me being a transformation from the Primordial Chaos Bead, with a powerful physique. This is a good place to temper the body."

For the next few thousand years, Xuan Yi continued to push towards the summit of Buzhou Mountain. The pressure grew with each step, and now Xuan Yi's veins bulged, each step a struggle.

Gazing at the summit, which was now within reach, Xuan Yi wanted to climb higher but couldn't move his legs. He had reached his limit.

"Damn it, this is truly a disgrace to traversers."

"Am I unable to ascend?"

"No, I absolutely cannot give up."

"Ahhhh— lift!"

His unyielding spirit made Xuan Yi desperately lift his foot.

"Boom!"

Xuan Yi's physical body, comparable to a Houtian Supreme Treasure, finally broke through. In an instant, the terrifying pressure of Buzhou Mountain vanished without a trace.

Xuan Yi flashed and instantly arrived at the summit.

"Hoo~~ I finally made it."

"This ascent alone allowed my physical body to break through. I've gained so much."

Tempered by the oppressive aura of Buzhou Mountain, Xuan Yi's physical cultivation directly advanced from a Houtian Supreme Treasure to the level of a Mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Do not underestimate a Mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. Consider that there are only a few hundred High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures in the entire Primordial Chaos.

Now, apart from High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, no other magic treasures could harm Xuan Yi.

Xuan Yi could now be considered the foremost person below Hongjun.

Boom!!

Suddenly, heaven and earth shook violently. Purple qi surged eastward for thirty thousand miles, followed by a ethereal voice.

"I am Hongjun. Today, I shall attain sainthood. I have perceived the suffering of the Primordial Chaos, and all beings have no path to seek. Therefore, I shall establish Zixiao Palace in the chaos world. In three thousand years, I will preach to all beings. Those with destiny are welcome to come!"

With that, a beam of light carrying a terrifying saintly pressure flew into the chaos.

"Father has become a Saint?"

"It seems I should head back too."
