After ascertaining the Nuwa's identity, the Three Xiao prepared to send her back.
At this moment, the Ancestor Hong Yun sensed a violent fluctuation of Magical Power in the East Sea with his divine Divine Sense, so he came to investigate and happened to run into the Three Xiao.
"Thank you, three fairies... Oh, why are there three of you? What brings my three junior disciples here!"
Fortunately, you happened to arrive and rescued the Nuwa; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
"I am aware of the Karma here, and I thank you on behalf of Shennong." Hong Yun said gratefully to the Three Xiao.
The Three Xiao have confirmed the Nuwa's identity with the fishermen—she is the youngest daughter of Shennong, the Human Race Co-Lord!
However, they did not expect that the position of Shennong's teacher would fall to Daoist Hongyun. But considering the relationship between Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun, they understood.
Hong Yun said solemnly, "I will immediately inform the Lord Shennong of my passage here."
The Dragon Eastern Sea Dragon Palace must Human Clan an explanation for its wicked actions!
He looked at the little girl nestled obediently beside Qiongxiao, his eyes still filled with lingering fear. In a moment of carelessness, he had almost caused the Nuwa to lose her life in the East Sea.
"Uncle Hongyun, I'm fine. Please don't let my affairs cause Father worry, okay?"
Qiongxiao saw that although the Nuwa was young, she was kind-hearted and intelligent. Despite being frightened by the sudden change, she did not cry or make a fuss. Instead, she was still thinking about others. The more Qiongxiao looked at her, the more she liked her.
Bixiao, always quick to speak, directly transmitted her voice to Yunxiao: "
Sister, look at this Nuwa. She has a pure and intelligent nature, extraordinary Fortune, and a heart that can distinguish right from wrong, and is brave and kind.
"Perhaps today's danger is a preordained destiny guided by Heaven?"
Yunxiao nodded, his heart also pounding.
When she came into close contact with the Nuwa, and felt the faint aura of her soul emanating from Nuwa, she felt a strange sense of familiarity, as if it resonated with something deeply buried in her memory.
"Nuwa, you don't need to worry about these things. Your Human Clan is not to be trifled with these days."
Although we don't bully people, we're not afraid of them either. Your father, as the ruler of the human Human Race Co-Lord, should naturally seek justice for the Human Clan."Hong Yun was impressed by the Nuwa's understanding, but the dignity of the Human Clan cannot be lost. Anyone who dares to infringe upon the Human Clan must be retaliated against.
"Not bad," Yunxiao said softly, looking at the Nuwa.
You are the daughter of Shennong. You must remember that you represent the entire Human Clan. To harm you is to slap the face of the entire Human Clan. This matter cannot be resolved so easily.
"Come on, take us to see your father. My sister has something she wants to discuss with him!" she invited the Nuwa.
The Nuwa looked at the three powerful yet gentle fairy sisters, her big eyes filled with longing and dependence, and nodded vigorously.
The immortals' abilities to fly, disappear into the earth, and overturn rivers and seas filled her young heart with wondrous dreams.
The Three Xiao did not delay any longer and prepared to go to Shennong's place.
Hong Yun observed the expressions of the Three Xiao, Sanxiao, and others, and it seemed they wanted to take the Nuwa as their disciple.
Hong Yun also wanted to find Shennong to explain the danger they had faced that day and the kindness of the Three Xiao in helping them, so he followed suit.
Yunxiao rode a gentle cloud, and together with Qiongxiao and Bixiao, along with the Nuwa, they transformed into a streak of light and flew straight to the Human Clan, Chen Du.
Chen Du is the current capital of the Human Clan.
The atmosphere was solemn inside the council hall of Human Emperor Shennong.
Hong Yun was the first to find Shennong, and was quickly and in detail recounting the thrilling scene on the Shore of the Eastern Sea Shennong.
When Shennong heard that his daughter Nuwa had been attacked by the Dragon Shennong and nearly drowned at the bottom of the sea, even with his resilient nature, his face turned pale instantly, his tiger eyes filled with tears, and a great sense of fear and self-blame welled up in his heart.
"It was my oversight on the Nuwa... it was my oversight..." he murmured, his hands clenched into fists, his nails digging deep into his palms.
Just then, a guard outside the hall announced that the three immortals and the Nuwa had arrived.
Shennong suddenly stood up, Hong Yun's face also showed joy.
The Three Xiao, holding the Nuwa's hand, gracefully entered the main hall.
"Nuwa!" Shennong was overwhelmed with mixed feelings of sorrow and joy. He rushed forward, knelt down, and hugged his daughter tightly in his arms, his voice choked with emotion.
The Nuwa sensed her father's worry and deep love, and finally burst into tears, expressing her grievances and longing for her father.
Father and daughter embraced, filling the hall with warmth for a moment.
After calming his daughter, Shennong tidied himself up and respectfully bowed to the Three Xiao:
Shennong has met the three immortals! My teacher has already told me about the events in the East Sea. If it weren't for the three immortals' righteous intervention in saving my daughter from danger, this kindness would be like being given a second chance at life. Shennong will never forget this!
If he weren't the Human Race Co-Lord, possessing the Human Race's fortune, and an ordinary person couldn't bear his grand gesture, he would have already bowed deeply in reverence.
The Three Xiao of Sanxiao bowed in greeting.
Yunxiao smiled and said to Shennong, "
There's no need for excessive formalities with the sovereign.
The Nuwa was intelligent and brave, and we sisters felt an instant connection with her.
Today's events are also a matter of fate between my sister and her.
At this moment, in close contact with Shennong, it seemed that within the majestic and profound Fortune of the Human Clan Earth Emperor on his body, there was also a faint trace of a vast and profound life essence.
This extremely subtle aura resonated particularly strongly with the Yunxiao!
The sense of familiarity that I had vaguely felt in the East Sea became clearer at this moment, almost within reach, yet shrouded in a layer of mist.
Bixiao, being straightforward, asked directly, "Shennong, please forgive my intrusion."
When I first saw the Nuwa, I felt that her spirit and aura were familiar. After seeing you here, this feeling became even clearer. It was as if she had an inexplicable connection with some old friend of ours, but it was also different... Seeing you again today, this feeling is even clearer.
Does the sovereign know of any extraordinary encounters he has had in the past?
She was quite curious about whose aura it was.
Shennong looked bewildered upon hearing this. "An extraordinary encounter?"
"Immortal, please forgive me. From the time I can remember, Shennong lived in the Lieshan Tribe of the Human Clan, fishing, hunting, and farming with his people, until he received the abdication of the Heavenly Emperor Fuxi and was taken in as a disciple by the Immortal Master Hong Yun... I knew nothing of his extraordinary origins."
He truly has no memory of his Previous Life.
Yunxiao's doubts deepened, but now was not the time to investigate further.
She saw that the Nuwa had regained her liveliness by her father's side, and her clear, bright eyes were looking at the three fairies expectantly.
"Alright then," Yunxiao said, suppressing his thoughts and smiling at Shennong.
We'll address these questions another time.
"We have come today not only to bring the Nuwa back, but also to discuss another matter with the Lord."
She paused, then looked sincerely at Shennong: "My two sisters and I are from the Dao Field of Dao Venerable Jiang Yun of Spirit Bamboo Mountain."
Looking at your Nuwa, she is exceptionally intelligent and naturally gifted. What's even more remarkable is her kind and simple heart, which remains true to her nature even when faced with great danger.
My two sisters and I intend to take her as our disciple and take her to Spirit Bamboo Mountain to cultivate the Great Dao of Immortality. What do you think, Master?
Hong Yun had a good relationship with the Three Xiao. Seeing that his three nephews intended to take the Nuwa as a disciple, he wanted to help them, so he spoke up from the side:
Shennong, the three of them, although not from the same lineage as me, have known me for a long time, and in a sense, they are my junior disciples.
Spirit Bamboo Mountain is Saint Realm for quiet cultivation. Dao Venerable Jiang Yun. The path he cultivates is the Dao of All Beings. He wants to open up a Tongtian Great Dao for all living beings in the world, so that everyone has the opportunity to achieve the Dao. He is truly Great Virtue.
The Three Xiao are all Golden Immortal who have attained enlightenment, possessing profound Magical Power. If the Nuwa could become one of their disciples, it would be an immense opportunity!
This would not only alleviate the concerns of the sovereign who was too busy with state affairs to take care of her, but also provide the Nuwa with a wise teacher, who might become a pillar of the Human Clan in the future!
I believe this is a blessing from heaven!
Shennong looked at his lovely daughter, feeling extremely reluctant to part with her.
But when he thought of the dangers of the East Sea, and the possibility that his daughter might have Immortal Fate protection and learn skills in the future, he would not only feel at ease, but might also be able to make greater contributions to the Human Clan. Besides, it was a request made by his benefactor.
He took a deep breath, pulled the Nuwa to his side, and knelt down gently, asking, "Nuwa, the three immortal masters wish to take you to the immortal mountain to learn skills. Are you willing?"
The Nuwa looked at her father, then at the three kind and beautiful fairy sisters, and thinking of the magical clouds and the glory of defeating the dragon, she nodded vigorously, her voice clear and crisp:
Father, I'm willing! I want to learn skills from the fairy sisters!
Learn your skills well, and protect Father and everyone else in the future, so that the evil dragon will never dare to bully people again!
Their words, though childlike, are full of determination and responsibility.
These words moved everyone in the hall.
With tears in his eyes, Shennong finally made up his mind.
He rose and once again bowed solemnly to the Three Xiao: "To be favored by the three celestial beings is my daughter's greatest wish. Shennong is deeply grateful and would never dare to obstruct her."
I implore the three celestial beings to give my daughter much guidance; Nuwa is unruly, so please trouble yourself to help her!
He agreed to become an apprentice.
Having settled the matter of Chen Du, the Three Xiao, along with their newly accepted young disciple Nuwa, bid farewell to Shennong and Hong Yun, and rode on auspicious clouds straight to Primordial World Spirit Bamboo Mountain in the northwest of the prehistoric world.
Along the way, the Nuwa was like a lark released from its cage, filled with endless wonder about flying in the sky and the mountains and rivers. The Three Xiao patiently explained some basic common sense to her, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Before long, the Spirit Bamboo Mountain Immortal Realm came into view.
The sky was bathed in rosy light, and auspicious clouds rose, their rich spiritual energy transforming into wisps of mist.
The land is covered with celestial herbs and rare plants, and is frequented by mythical birds Mutated Beasts. Furthermore, the aura of immortals lingers, creating a scene of pristine purity and holiness.
The Nuwa stared, her mouth slightly agape, filled with admiration. "Is this the fairy mountain where the fairy sister cultivates? It's so beautiful!"
The Three Xiao led her directly to the Main Peak hall of Spirit Bamboo Mountain to pay their respects to the person in charge of the Dao Field — the Spirit Gourd Daoist.
Spirit Gourd was slightly surprised to see that the Three Xiao of Sanxiao had returned from the Three Immortal Islands with a little Nuwa. He smiled and said, "My three junior sisters are back. Oh, is this your new disciple?"
Bixiao, being the most impatient, preemptively spoke before Yunxiao could even open her mouth, rattling off a detailed account of how she had heard the distress call from the East Sea, how she had bravely intervened to defeat Ao Bing, the Third Prince of the East Sea, how she had rescued Nuwa, and how she had subsequently sensed a familiar aura on Nuwa, gone to Chen Du to obtain Shennong's consent, and finally taken Nuwa as her disciple.
Qiongxiao added details from the side, while Yunxiao nodded with a smile, occasionally stroking the little Nuwa's head who was curiously peeking from behind her.
After listening to the whole story, Spirit Gourd looked gently at the Nuwa who was hiding behind Qiongxiao with a mix of nervousness and curiosity.
Although the little Nuwa's face was slightly pale from mentioning her dangerous experience, her eyes were clear and bright, carrying a sense of maturity after surviving a disaster and a longing for the future, without any resentment or gloom.
Spirit Gourd Daoist nodded with satisfaction.
He smiled and said to Bixiao and the others, "
I see.
Despite encountering misfortune at such a young age, he remained calm and composed; such composure is truly admirable.
As the saying goes, misfortune may be a blessing in disguise, and a blessing may be a misfortune in disguise. Although I have suffered calamities, I have also encountered Immortal Fate. With Slaughter Tribulation of this life gone, my future will surely be bright and smooth.
He nodded in satisfaction at the Nuwa and gestured for her not to be shy.
Qiongxiao and Bixiao felt honored and very happy to hear Spirit Gourd's praise of the Nuwa.
Only Yunxiao, upon hearing the Spirit Gourd's pronouncement, "The Slaughter Tribulation is over, and adversity will turn into prosperity," had a change of expression, as if he had gained some understanding.
Yunxiao couldn't help but ask, "Brother Spirit Gourd said that the Nuwa's 'Slaughter Tribulation have all been eliminated,' could it be that Ao Bing is the Nuwa's destined tribulation?"
Spirit Gourd laughed and replied, "That's right. If it weren't for the three of you appearing, the Nuwa would have died at Ao Bing's hands. Afterwards, her resentment soared to the sky, and her obsession remained unquenched. She transformed into the divine bird Jingwei, carrying stones to fill the sea, day after day, year after year, without ever stopping."
After hearing Spirit Gourd recount the Nuwa's other fate, the Three Xiao felt that such a fate would be too cruel to fall upon Nuwa. Fortunately, the three of them happened to stumble upon the Slaughter Tribulation.
Upon hearing this, the Nuwa's mouth opened slightly as she imagined another possibility. The gratitude and attachment she felt for her three fairy masters deepened, and her little hands unconsciously clenched Yunxiao's clothes.
Bixiao, quick-witted and outspoken, soon steered the conversation back to Shennong:
Oh, right, Spirit Gourd, that's not the strangest thing.
After our eldest sister and I rescued the Nuwa, we went to Chen Du to meet the Human Emperor. When we approached her father, Shennong Human Emperor, our eldest sister sensed a strangely familiar aura of divine soul surrounding him.
The feeling was as if facing a dormant, ancient, and vast will, clearly not the foundation that ordinary Human Clan should possess.
As we carefully sensed it in Chen Du, this feeling became increasingly clear. However, Shennong, the Human Emperor, claimed to be of the Human Clan origin and had no memory of his Previous Life. This was truly strange!
Senior brother, you are knowledgeable and experienced; perhaps you can deduce something from this?"
Then, Spirit Gourd and the others had mentioned regarding the Nuwa and Yunxiao 'Shennong soul aura.
Yunxiao also spoke solemnly, "That's right, Senior Brother."
Although this aura was deeply buried beneath the immense Fortune of the Earth Emperor's fortune, it subtly resonated with the original Daoist essence of my Spirit Bamboo Mountain, giving me a sense of reunion with an old friend.
The mystery behind it is truly unfathomable. I humbly request that my senior brother intervene and investigate its origin.
Upon hearing this, the Spirit Gourd Daoist's eyes flashed with a sharp light. "Oh? Such a strange thing has happened?"
"The fact that even Junior Sister Yunxiao felt such a strong response suggests that Shennong's Root Foundation is indeed extraordinary."
His face revealed a deep curiosity and a desire to investigate. "Let me analyze it carefully and see what secrets it holds."
After speaking, the Spirit Gourd Daoist looked solemn and sat down with his eyes closed.
The hall fell silent, Innate Spiritual Qi flowed silently around him.
The Daoist principles flowed between his fingers, as if he were plucking invisible strings in the void, drawing upon messages from the depths of the River of Fate.
As the Incarnation of Dao Venerable Jiang Yun Corpse Slashing, he deeply inherited the essence of the original's deductions.
The deduction continued for a while, and then the Spirit Gourd Daoist's tightly closed eyes suddenly trembled slightly, and his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was trying to grasp some elusive thread of Karma.
Immediately afterwards, the expression on his face brightened instantly, as if the clouds had parted to reveal the sun, replaced by shock and realization, which ultimately transformed into an indescribable... warmth!
He suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze shining like Stars, and his voice, filled with disbelief and excitement, blurted out, "So that's how it is!"
It was him! No wonder! No wonder!
