Peaceful days passed by slowly.
Ten thousand years later, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from the palace where Qingxuan resided.
Qingxuan opened his eyes, and the aura unique to a Primordial Origin Golden Immortal spread around him.
Sixth revolution of the Profound Technique—the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal realm!
I've finally fully comprehended the opportunity I obtained from Great God Pangu.
I skipped the early Primordial Origin Golden Immortal stage and reached the middle stage directly. The Law of Strength truly deserves to be regarded as the general principle governing the Three Thousand Great Daos.
The current me can be called the strongest person below the Sages, right?
Feeling the aura coming from the place where Qingxuan had secluded himself, and hearing Qingxuan's thoughts, Nuwa knew that he had finished his seclusion. A faint smile curved her lips.
Over the past ten thousand years, as her Law of Creation advanced further, she had already begun to faintly comprehend her own path.
However, Qingxuan had remained in seclusion the entire time, so Nuwa had not dared to act rashly, fearing that she might fall into the schemes of the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun.
Now that Qingxuan had emerged from seclusion, she felt at ease. Before she knew it, Qingxuan had already become someone she could rely on.
Qingxuan slowly reined in the aura of a Primordial Origin Golden Immortal, opened the palace doors, and walked out.
Zhi Tong was waiting outside. When he saw Qingxuan emerge, a smile immediately appeared on his chubby little face.
"Young Master, you're out of seclusion! Mistress is waiting for you in the main hall."
The masters of Fengqi Mountain were Nuwa and Fuxi. Qingxuan was Nuwa's only disciple, so all the living beings who lived in Fengqi Mountain under Nuwa and Fuxi's protection addressed Qingxuan as Young Master.
Qingxuan pinched Zhi Tong's chubby cheek and casually sent a strand of Wood Essence Qi into him.
Zhi Tong's true form was a lingzhi horse. Nuwa had used her great power to enlighten him into a child attendant, and he was also a spirit of plants and trees. The Wood Essence Qi Qingxuan had casually released was condensed from the Law of Wood, and it offered no small benefit to spirits of plants and trees.
As the Wood Essence Qi entered his body, Zhi Tong's eyes narrowed into slits in comfort, and he grew a little taller.
"Thank you, Young Master! Thank you, Young Master!"
Qingxuan smiled and nodded. He ignored Zhi Tong, who was still grinning foolishly, and walked toward the main hall.
Inside the main hall, Nuwa and Fuxi were sitting opposite each other.
"Master, Martial Uncle."
Qingxuan greeted them and casually found a place to sit.
Fuxi looked at Qingxuan and secretly clicked his tongue. He had already learned from his younger sister that Qingxuan's Great Principle Flower had bloomed with twelve petals. After ten thousand years of seclusion, Fuxi could no longer see through Qingxuan's realm. Clearly, Qingxuan's current realm was no lower than his own—and might even be higher.
Although Qingxuan addressed him as Master and Martial Uncle, Fuxi did not truly regard Qingxuan as a junior. Instead, he treated him as a genuine Dao Companion.
He was a Great Power skilled in the art of divination through the Innate Eight Trigrams, and he had long since seen that his younger sister's romantic fate had stirred. The person bound to it was none other than Qingxuan, his nominal "Martial Nephew."
At this time, the Primordial World had yet to establish the three marriages of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity. Marriage had not yet been clearly defined, and it was not unusual for masters and disciples to become Dao Companions.
Qingxuan glanced at Nuwa and Fuxi.
As Primordial Origin Golden Immortals, they could naturally see more things.
An aura of Creation permeated Nuwa's body. Clearly, her Dao of Creation had already reached perfection. She only needed to complete the final step—creating humanity—to prove the Dao.
Relying on the Innate Eight Trigrams and the "heavenly secret" Nuwa had revealed to him—that is, Qingxuan's thoughts—Fuxi's attainments in divination had also advanced by leaps and bounds, bringing him into the middle stage of the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal realm.
Nuwa looked at Qingxuan and brought up a topic.
"I've recently had a faint premonition. The opportunity to prove the Dao should be near. It feels as though I'm only a step away from success."
Although Nuwa knew that she could successfully prove the Dao as long as she created humanity, she could not reveal that she knew this. Otherwise, Qingxuan would certainly become suspicious.
It seems that Master's opportunity to attain the Dao is close. The Human Race should also be born soon.
I wonder how things are progressing on Houtu's side. If the Human Dao and the Earth Dao both awaken, the Heavenly Dao definitely won't be able to tolerate it.
Qingxuan looked at Nuwa and offered a suggestion.
"In that case, why don't I accompany Master on a journey through the Primordial World to search for the opportunity to prove the Dao?"
Nuwa nodded.
"That would be fine. Going out for a walk might make it easier to comprehend that trace of opportunity."
Once they decided to leave, they did so at once. Qingxuan and Nuwa were both top Great Powers of the Primordial World, so they did not need to prepare anything for their travels.
The master and disciple left the Dao Field of Fengqi Mountain together.
Both of them knew what the so-called opportunity to prove the Dao was, so they were not in a hurry. Nuwa waved her hand and summoned the Cloud Tower Palace, and the master and disciple began traveling through the Primordial World.
Inside the Cloud Tower, Qingxuan lay on Nuwa's smooth, jade-white legs and let out a comfortable sigh.
Nuwa's pretty face flushed slightly, and she rolled her eyes at this rebellious disciple.
She was a top Great Power who was about to become a Sage. Moreover, she possessed the Red Gauze Ball, which controlled marriage and fate, so she naturally had some insight into her own romantic fate.
He had feelings, and she had intentions. The way the two of them interacted had increasingly begun to resemble that of a pair of Dao Companions.
They had claimed to be seeking the opportunity to prove the Dao, but in the end, they looked more like a young couple out on their honeymoon.
In the blink of an eye, a thousand years passed.
Along the way, the two of them gained quite a few opportunities, spiritual treasures, spiritual roots, and materials for refining weapons and pills.
Whenever they encountered someone bullying spirits of plants and trees, Qingxuan would also step in and teach them a lesson. As a result, through the spreading word of the many spirits of plants and trees, the title of Azure Emperor became widely known and gradually rose to fame throughout the Primordial World.
Qingxuan and Nuwa continued on in this manner, stopping and starting as they took in the customs and local cultures of the Primordial World.
Nuwa had traveled through the Primordial World before, but perhaps because Qingxuan was accompanying her this time, seeing the Primordial World again gave her a different feeling.
In the Primordial World, time was the least valuable thing. Ten thousand years, then one hundred thousand years passed as the two of them visited many places throughout the Primordial World.
Kunlun Mountain, Wuzhuang Temple, the West, the Blood Sea, the starry sky of the Primordial World, Buzhou Mountain...
When they passed through the territory of the Witch Race, the Witches warmly dragged them into a banquet. Qingxuan and Nuwa had no choice but to join them.
Houtu was still in seclusion. The other eleven Ancestral Witches accompanied them. After learning that Nuwa was Qingxuan's Master and future Dao Companion, the Witch Race became even more enthusiastic toward Nuwa.
Only Xuanming Ancestral Witch looked at Qingxuan somewhat strangely, as if she were looking at a scumbag, though there was also a trace of hidden delight in her gaze.
After promising the Ancestral Witches that he would return to the Witch Race once he finished his own affairs, Qingxuan and Nuwa finally managed to leave.
"Thirteenth Ancestral Witch, Ancestral Witch of Strength—not bad."
Nuwa teased him. Only during this trip to the Witch Race had she realized how high Qingxuan's status was among them. Whether they were ordinary Witches, Great Witches, or even Ancestral Witches, they all respected and trusted Qingxuan immensely. As a result, they treated her extremely well too, completely unlike the vicious reputation circulating throughout the Primordial World.
"Actually, the Witch Race is pretty good. They're all straightforward. Once they decide that you're one of their own, they'll trust you completely."
Qingxuan explained it to Nuwa.
Nuwa nodded. After this contact, she had also discovered that the Witch Race was not at all like the rumors in the Primordial World. Although their tempers were fiery, they were straightforward, bold, and generous. This showed that rumors could not be believed entirely.
Finally, during the master and disciple's leisurely travels, the Cloud Tower slowly arrived at a certain place.
By the shore of the East Sea!
