The dense Human Race Destiny transformed into a Golden Dragon of Destiny, coiling around the Kongtong Seal.

The abundant destiny brought about by the establishment of the Human Teachings also provided nourishment to the newly born Human Dao.

As the Human Dao Master, Nuwa felt it most clearly. She distinctly sensed that the newborn Human Dao had grown countless times stronger in an instant under the nourishment of the Human Teachings' destiny.

Although compared with the Heaven Dao, which had been developed over countless years, it was still like a child who had just learned to walk, anyone could feel that its vigorous vitality and limitless potential were now completely different.

The laws between Heaven and Earth seemed to have become livelier because of this, carrying a little more "human touch."

When Pangu opened up the Primordial World, he had already planned for the Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos to jointly govern it.

The Heaven Dao represented the operating laws of the Primordial World. All things had to proceed under its rules. It was like a guide, leading the development of the Primordial World. The Earth Dao represented the foundation of the Primordial World. The life, death, and reincarnation of all its living beings had to be borne upon the Earth Dao. The Human Dao represented a spark. The living beings of the Primordial World flourished and developed, possessing a predetermined destiny yet also infinite possibilities.

The Human Dao here did not refer solely to the Human Race. It included all the spirits of the Primordial World—it was the Dao of all living beings.

The last vessels chosen by the Human Dao had been the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans. However, because of their struggle over destiny, the three clans had fought until Heaven and Earth in the Primordial World collapsed. In the end, they were punished by the Heaven Dao, and the destiny of the three clans vanished completely.

This had also caused the Human Dao to decline completely. It was only when Nuwa created humanity and the Human Race was born that the arrival of the Great Dao gave the Human Dao a chance to gather itself anew.

Only with the three Daos jointly governing it could the Primordial World flourish and continue evolving.

Unfortunately, the Heaven Dao had developed selfish motives because of its corruption. It wanted absolute dominance and desperately schemed against and suppressed the Earth Dao and Human Dao, causing the Primordial World to grow weaker and weaker until it finally became a Land of Dharma Decline.

Seeing that everything had been dealt with, Nuwa and Qingxuan prepared to return to the Dao Field at Fengqi Mountain first, leaving Fuxi behind to look after and guide the newly born Human Race.

The return trip was much easier. Nuwa had already reached the Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, equivalent to a Sage in the Primordial World. No matter where she went, it only took a Sage's thought.

After bringing Qingxuan and Jin Ning back to Fengqi Mountain, Nuwa's brows furrowed the moment she stepped into the Dao Field.

Seeing this, Qingxuan asked Nuwa curiously.

"What's wrong, Master? Is something wrong?"

Nuwa gently shook her head, extended her slender jade finger, and pointed at the Dao Field of Fengqi Mountain beneath their feet.

"It isn't wrong. It's just a little too good. The Human Race Destiny is flourishing, and the Human Dao Will has awakened and grown stronger. The power fed back is simply too immense. The Dao Field of Fengqi Mountain seems unable to bear it. Even the Spiritual Veins are trembling slightly. If this continues, they may not be able to bear my Sage's destiny and the weight of the entire Human Dao. Given enough time, the Spiritual Veins may even collapse."

A Sage's destiny was an astronomical figure, let alone one bound to the Human Dao, which was growing wildly.

Fengqi Mountain was indeed good, but ultimately, it was merely a Blessed Land in the Primordial World that was not among the top tier. Using it as a Sage's Dao Field—especially as the headquarters of a Human Dao Sage—made it seem like a small temple struggling to contain a Buddha.

Qingxuan scratched his head when he heard this.

This really was a problem. They couldn't exactly let the dignified Human Dao Master wander the streets with the Human Race, could they? That would be far too embarrassing.

It seems that only a top-tier Blessed Land can bear a Sage's destiny. So, besides Primordial and Tongtian having different paths and being unable to work together, the Three Pure Ones' separation was also related to Kunlun Mountain being unable to bear the destiny of three Heaven Dao Sages.

Hearing Qingxuan's inner voice, Nuwa froze. The Three Pure Ones would separate?

Since their birth, the three of them had always been together. She had never heard that they had any conflicts.

Indeed, the Three Pure Ones were still on good terms right now. Although Primordial and Tongtian did not see eye to eye, their disagreements had not yet reached the point of a struggle over the Dao.

Nuwa shook her head and set the matter of the Three Pure Ones aside. The most important thing now was still to solve the problem of the Dao Field.

Qingxuan's mind rapidly ran through the famous Blessed Lands of the Primordial World.

Kunlun Mountain? That's the Three Pure Ones' territory. There's definitely no chance.

The Spiritual Mountain in the West? It's so poor that even a dog wouldn't go there.

Golden Ao Island? Has it even been discovered yet? But it feels a little lacking too...

Shouyang Mountain? We already have the Kongtong Seal. We can use it as a temporary palace in the future.

Could it be that we really have to go into the primordial chaos and open up Wa Huang Heaven?

Wait! Hold on!

Qingxuan suddenly slapped his thigh, and his eyes lit up.

"I've got it! Master! There's a ready-made place that's perfect. It's spacious and magnificent, and it especially suits your current status and standing!"

Qingxuan spoke excitedly.

"Oh? What place?"

Seeing how excited Qingxuan was, Nuwa and Jin Ning looked over curiously.

Qingxuan gave a sly smile and mysteriously pointed toward the towering mountain range that pierced the clouds as if it were holding up the entire firmament—Buzhou Mountain!

"At the summit of Buzhou Mountain. There's a Heavenly Court up there!"

As soon as he said this, Nuwa and Jin Ning both froze.

There was a Heavenly Court atop Buzhou Mountain?

If it was real, then it truly was a fine place. Located at the absolute peak of Buzhou Mountain, it received the power of the stars throughout the heavens and overlooked the entire Primordial World. In terms of status, grandeur, and abundance of spiritual energy, it was absolutely one of a kind in the Primordial World!

It was more than suitable as a Sage's Dao Field!

However, the Heavenly Court clearly sounded like the Heaven Dao's territory. It was also an extremely important place. Using it as Nuwa's Dao Field would be tantamount to provoking the Heaven Dao right to its face.

Could the Heaven Dao really tolerate such actions from Nuwa and Qingxuan?

As if he had guessed Nuwa's concern, Qingxuan began explaining the Heavenly Court.

"Master, the Heavenly Court is divided into the Thirty-Six Heavens. It is indeed the place the Heaven Dao prepared for the bearer of the Heavenly Emperor's position to govern the Primordial World. However, you are a Sage, and also a Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal. We won't occupy all of it. We only need the top three heavens as our Dao Field. The Great Dao has only just withdrawn, so the Heaven Dao definitely won't dare to act at a time like this. As for the future..."

As for the future, once I attain the Dao, we'll have two Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortals on our side who aren't subject to the Heaven Dao's control.

Once Big Sister Houtu awakens the Earth Dao, the Human Dao and Earth Dao joining forces to resist the Heaven Dao won't be a problem.

Overall, it shouldn't be a problem. We can take it!

Qingxuan's final thought instantly gave Nuwa confidence. She trusted Qingxuan absolutely. Since he said there was no major problem, what was there to hesitate about? So what if it was the Heaven Dao's territory? They were taking it specifically from the Heaven Dao!

"Good! We'll go to the Heavenly Court!"

Nuwa made the decision at once, her tone carrying a hint of excitement and anticipation.

No sooner said than done!

After instructing Jin Ning to look after the place, Nuwa swept out her sleeve. Sage-level power surged forth, wrapped around Qingxuan, and shot straight toward the Heavenly Court atop Buzhou Mountain!
