Return to the Dao Field

Looking at the Fengqi Mountain Dao Field, which hadn't changed at all before him, a hint of nostalgia flashed in Qing Xuan's eyes.

Time in the Great Desolation is truly worthless. Qing Xuan had been out traveling for nearly a hundred thousand years.

[I wonder, after not seeing me for so long, does Master miss me?]

Qing Xuan's thoughts, unheard for nearly a hundred thousand years, echoed in Nuwa's ears once more.

Nuwa, who had been comprehending the Law of Creation, instantly opened her eyes.

Her beautiful phoenix eyes were filled with excitement, longing, worry, and a trace of imperceptible resentment.

As soon as Qing Xuan entered the Dao Field, he felt his vision blur, and he instantly appeared in Nuwa's palace.

Nuwa was secretly shocked. She had suddenly made a move to transfer Qing Xuan to her palace, but she hadn't expected it to be so difficult. She almost failed to move Qing Xuan and had to increase her magical power output to successfully transfer him, and this was without Qing Xuan resisting.

What cultivation level does this rebellious disciple have?

To give Nuwa a surprise, Qing Xuan had voluntarily opened his shielding formation, causing Nuwa to be unable to discern his cultivation level at all.

"Master, I'm back."

[I didn't expect Master to miss me so much. As soon as I got back, she pulled me into her palace.]

[After not seeing each other for so long, will Master give me a big hug? I'm looking forward to it...]

Listening to these familiar and somewhat nonsensical thoughts, Nuwa felt a sense of peace in her heart, as if a missing piece had been filled. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but curve into a smile.

"You rebellious disciple, you've been gone for so long, and you didn't even send a message back."

There was a hint of faint resentment in Nuwa's voice.

Qing Xuan immediately put on a fawning smile.

"Master, please don't be angry. I encountered a great opportunity on this trip, so I had to go into seclusion for a bit longer."

Nuwa was a little curious and carefully examined Qing Xuan. Unfortunately, due to the presence of the shielding formation, Nuwa couldn't see anything.

"Rebellious disciple, what is your cultivation level now? You haven't slacked off on your cultivation, have you?"

Qing Xuan smiled mysteriously.

"Master, you mustn't be too surprised."

With that, he waved his hand and blocked the Heavenly Secrets above Fengqi Mountain.

Nuwa watched Qing Xuan's actions curiously, and the next moment, she stood up from her cloud bed in shock.

Qing Xuan's body erupted in brilliant light, and the Grand Unity Three Flowers appeared above his head, perfectly round, with twelve petals blooming, radiating the Dao's rhythm.

The aura of a perfected Grand Unity Golden Immortal, on the verge of breaking through, emanated from Qing Xuan's body.

Nuwa looked at Qing Xuan in disbelief.

Twelve petals blooming from the Grand Unity Flower – this had never appeared in the Great Desolation before.

Even the roots of the Three Pure Ones and Pangu's Primordial Spirit, their Grand Unity Flowers only bloomed to the tenth grade.

Nuwa herself only had nine petals blooming, and she already had the potential to become a Sage.

For other Grand Unity Golden Immortals, achieving seven-grade Three Flowers was already very good.

And Qing Xuan's flower bloomed to twelve petals. Perhaps only Great God Pangu had twelve-petal Grand Unity Flowers.

When Qing Xuan left, he was only a perfected Grand Unity Golden Immortal. Now, in less than a hundred thousand years, he had actually reached the perfected Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage. If this cultivation speed were to be revealed, it would likely shock a great many people to death.

Nuwa suddenly remembered Qing Xuan's rebellious remark. Now it seemed that she might truly be surpassed by this rebellious disciple very soon.

Will I really have to bear ten children for this rebellious disciple in the end?

Looking at Nuwa, who went from shock to a blushing face, Qing Xuan didn't know what she was thinking.

Qing Xuan retracted his Grand Unity Three Flowers and suppressed his aura.

"How is it, Master?"

Qing Xuan looked at Nuwa proudly.

What could Nuwa say? Even if she went against her conscience, she couldn't say that Qing Xuan had delayed his cultivation.

Nuwa gave Qing Xuan a sidelong glance and changed the subject.

"Tell me, Master, what did you experience on this trip?"

Qing Xuan nodded, stepped forward, and sat beside Nuwa on the cloud bed. He reached out and took Nuwa's small hand.

Nuwa glared fiercely at Qing Xuan, but she didn't refuse, allowing Qing Xuan to play with her jade-like hand.

Qing Xuan chuckled inwardly and began to recount the events he had encountered on his journey.

"I first went to Buzhou Mountain, and at Buzhou Mountain, I met..."

It took a long time for Qing Xuan to finish recounting his travel experiences.

Nuwa was stunned.

Pangu's phantom, the thirteen Ancestral Witches of the Witch Race, Houtu's Primordial Spirit, the spirits of plants and trees pledging allegiance...

This rebellious disciple's luck was truly heaven-defying.

For anyone else, these events would be unthinkable, yet they all happened to Qing Xuan. Aside from his heaven-defying luck, Nuwa couldn't find any other explanation.

After a long moment, Nuwa finally composed herself.

"So, you're saying you possess the bloodline of Great God Pangu and have learned his Three Styles of Heaven Opening?"

Qing Xuan nodded.

"And you helped Houtu give birth to her Primordial Spirit, earning you the title of the Thirteenth Ancestral Witch among the Witch Race?"

Qing Xuan nodded again.

"You also subdued the race of plants and trees, and they recognize you as their master?"

Qing Xuan still nodded.

Nuwa finally processed the overwhelming information.

Then, she looked at Qing Xuan with some worry.

"You know the Witch Race is the protagonist of this Calamity, so why did you get involved?"

Having personally witnessed the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation, Nuwa deeply understood the horrors of a Calamity.

The fate of the Three Clans was right there. Now that Qing Xuan had gotten involved, Nuwa couldn't help but worry.

Qing Xuan also shook his head with a wry smile.

"There was no choice, they offered too much."

As he spoke, he took out the gifts he had brought for Nuwa from the Witch Race's treasury.

A pile of colorful treasures gleamed, with Innate Spiritual Treasures of all grades, all suitable for female cultivators.

Nuwa felt touched, not because of the spiritual treasures, but because Qing Xuan always kept her in mind.

"I received a fortuitous encounter from Great God Pangu, so naturally, I must help the Witch Race overcome this great tribulation."

"Master, you don't need to worry too much. I've already thought of a solution, and it might even help you achieve sainthood in the future."

Seeing Nuwa's worried expression, Qing Xuan couldn't help but pull her into an embrace.

Nuwa stiffened for a moment before relaxing, not refusing, and nestled in Qing Xuan's arms.

"It's good that you have a plan. If you need any help from me, just ask. I'm already a late-stage Primordial Golden Immortal, and I've comprehended over eighty percent of the Law of Creation."

Qing Xuan was shocked. He had been engrossed in their intimate conversation since he arrived and hadn't noticed Nuwa's cultivation level.

Upon closer inspection, he saw that Nuwa was surrounded by an aura of creation, a clear sign of mastery over the law.

It seemed Nuwa was indeed the best inheritor of the Law of Creation, and cultivating Hongjun's Slaying Three Corpses was a complete waste of her talent.

Just then, Nuwa seemed to remember something and fiercely twisted Qing Xuan's waist.

Even though Qing Xuan's physical body was comparable to a Primordial Golden Immortal, he couldn't help but cry out in pain from the surprise attack.

Nuwa pulled away from Qing Xuan's embrace and looked at him coldly.

"Who is prettier, Houtu or me?"

Qing Xuan broke out in a cold sweat, his Primordial Spirit screaming danger.

Indeed, regardless of whether they were goddesses or future Sages, women always had a competitive streak, especially when their status and standing were similar.

Qing Xuan tried to play it off with a laugh.

"Master and Sister Houtu are both exceptional in their own ways, renowned goddesses in the Primordial World. But in my heart, Master will always be the most important and special."

Nuwa rolled her eyes at Qing Xuan, a slight smile playing on her lips, and didn't press the matter further.
