Qingxuan's condition reminded him of their mortal enemies—the Witch Race!
Even Hongjun's indistinct figure rippled slightly.
"Good grief! Now that's something!"
Qingxuan shook his tingling fist, growing even more excited.
"Again!"
Tai Yi was shocked and furious, feeling humiliated. He shouted angrily.
"Don't get cocky!"
He poured all his strength into the Eastern Emperor Bell. The ancient bell spun rapidly, instantly growing larger.
Like a mountain, it carried terrifying might capable of suppressing the heavens and crushing all things, descending straight over Qingxuan's head!
It intended to suppress him completely!
"Bring it on!"
Qingxuan laughed loudly. Instead of retreating, he shot into the sky like a cannonball, both fists striking out at once. The Law of Strength condensed to its limit, transforming into two enormous chaotic-colored fist imprints that ruthlessly smashed into the descending Eastern Emperor Bell.
Clang!!!!!!!
Another terrifying boom, ten times louder than the previous one, rang out!
The Eastern Emperor Bell trembled violently, its waves of sound completely clearing the chaotic energy within ten thousand miles!
Qingxuan's figure was knocked downward for a distance by the backlash. His feet stamped ripples into the void, but he quickly steadied himself. Aside from his fists being slightly red, his breathing remained calm and steady!
As for the Eastern Emperor Bell, it had actually been knocked back upward by his two punches!
He had confronted an Innate Supreme Treasure with his bare hands?!
Although the Eastern Emperor Bell had not unleashed its full power, this was still utterly astonishing!
Qingxuan's physical body was simply more terrifying than that of an Ancestral Witch.
"Impossible!"
Tai Yi's eyes were bloodshot. He could not accept this reality!
Roaring, he did not hesitate to expend his origin and frantically poured his magic power into the Eastern Emperor Bell, preparing to launch an even stronger attack...
However, at that moment, Qingxuan's figure vanished from where he stood without warning!
In the next instant, he appeared like a ghost not far behind Tai Yi. The Jianmu Divine Spear was already in his hand, though no one knew when he had drawn it.
"Now take one of my spears!"
Qingxuan thrust the spear at Tai Yi! The Law of Suppression filled the Jianmu Divine Spear.
The strike was so fast and its timing so vicious that Tai Yi, who had just exerted himself to activate the Eastern Emperor Bell and had yet to recover his strength, had no time to react!
Pfft!
Tai Yi felt his Primordial Spirit jolt violently. The magic power throughout his body was instantly sealed, and he nearly toppled headfirst from the clouds!
He had not suffered serious injuries, but he had been utterly humiliated!
Seizing the opportunity, Qingxuan flashed back to his original position and said with a smile,
"Friend Tai Yi, thank you for going easy on me! It seems the title of the strongest beneath the Saints is a little undeserved, huh?"
Tai Yi steadied himself, trembling with rage. His face flushed crimson, and he wanted nothing more than to rush over and fight Qingxuan to the death!
Di Jun's face was livid, his fists clenched tightly.
Hongjun's indistinct figure fell silent for a moment. Finally, that detached voice sounded once more, revealing neither joy nor anger.
"This battle... Qingxuan wins. As agreed, the top three heavens of the Heavenly Court belong to Nuwa."
With that, the light and shadow dispersed, and the will of the Heavenly Dao withdrew. Its scheme had failed, and it had no face to remain any longer.
Di Jun and Tai Yi looked terribly grim as they glared venomously at Qingxuan and Nuwa.
With a cold snort, they tore open the void and left in a sorry state without looking back.
The grudge between them had been sealed for good.
Nuwa flew to Qingxuan's side. Her eyes were filled with delight, along with a trace of lingering fear.
"You really went too far. You actually caught the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi's Eastern Emperor Bell with your bare hands."
"Still, I didn't expect you to defeat Eastern Emperor Tai Yi so easily. It seems the title of the strongest beneath the Saints is going to belong to you."
Qingxuan smiled as he put away the Jianmu Divine Spear.
"It was all thanks to Master's guidance."
Nuwa chuckled. How could she not know that Qingxuan was teasing her? His strength truly had little to do with her.
Still, the stronger Qingxuan became, the happier Nuwa was. With a smile, she tapped Qingxuan on the head, and the two returned to the Heavenly Court.
Unlike the happy Qingxuan and Nuwa, Di Jun and Tai Yi returned to the Sun Star in a fury and flew into a thunderous rage.
"Elder Brother, Qingxuan's physical cultivation and techniques are identical to those of that brute from the Witch Race. There must be a connection between them."
Eastern Emperor Tai Yi recounted his encounter with Qingxuan to Di Jun.
Di Jun nodded as well, a flash of killing intent vanishing from his eyes.
"We absolutely cannot allow the Witch Race to gain another combatant on the level of an Ancestral Witch."
But if they acted against Qingxuan, how would they deal with Nuwa? The methods of a Saint were far beyond what their Demon Race could withstand.
In Zixiao Palace, Hongjun's words—"All beneath the Saints are ants"—had left a deep impression on Di Jun.
Qingxuan still did not know that he had become a thorn in Di Jun's side.
Even if he had known, Qingxuan would not have cared much.
At that moment, he and Nuwa had already returned to the Heavenly Court.
Looking at the top three heavens of the Heavenly Court, Nuwa nodded in satisfaction.
The spiritual energy was dense, the Dao laws swirled around them, and the scenery was beautiful. It was the perfect place for a Dao Field.
Nuwa gently waved her hand, and the magic power of a Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal surged forth.
At the center of the Thirty-Six Heavens, a palace identical to Fengqi Mountain rose from the ground.
Above it were written the words: Creation Palace.
Nuwa had not joined the Demon Race, so the title of Demon Empress would naturally no longer be used.
As for where Qingxuan's palace was?
Naturally, he would live with her in the Creation Palace.
As a Saint, Nuwa was not one to act coy. She already knew that her romantic fate had awakened and that her heart belonged entirely to Qingxuan, so she naturally would not avoid it.
Nuwa had already divided up her future new Dao Field.
The highest Thirty-Sixth Heaven would be her and Qingxuan's private territory.
The remaining two heavens would be used to receive visitors and accommodate followers.
These three heavens would be called Creation Heaven.
Now that their new home had been chosen, all that remained was to move.
As Saints, moving was a fairly simple matter.
The two returned to the Dao Field at Fengqi Mountain and packed up all the spiritual roots and materials. They also summoned Zhi Tong and Jin Ning.
It was worth mentioning that Zhi Tong had digested the essence of wood Qingxuan had casually bestowed upon her last time. She had now broken through to the Golden Immortal realm, and her chubby little face had also slimmed down considerably.
Once all their belongings had been packed, Nuwa waved her hand and sealed the entire Dao Field at Fengqi Mountain.
After all, it had been the place where she had lived for countless epochs, and Nuwa had developed feelings for Fengqi Mountain.
Although Fengqi Mountain could not bear the destiny of a Saint, Nuwa still intended to use it as a temporary palace in the Primordial World.
After sending Fuxi a voice transmission to inform him of the move, Nuwa brought everyone back to Creation Heaven.
Zhi Tong and Jin Ning, visiting Creation Heaven for the first time, widened their eyes.
"Goddess, Goddess, is this going to be our new home from now on?"
Zhi Tong blinked her large eyes and asked Nuwa excitedly.
Nuwa smiled and pinched Zhi Tong's little cheek.
"Yes. You must take good care of the Dao Field."
"Don't worry, Goddess. Zhi Tong will definitely take good care of it."
Nuwa then said to Jin Ning,
"Your Phoenix Race bears too much karmic sin. Although Yuanfeng suppressed the Immortal Volcano with her body and reduced part of it, what remains is still enough to crush the Phoenix Race."
"Since you have entered my sect, I can help your Phoenix Race overcome this calamity. But from now on, your Phoenix Race must acknowledge me as its master."
After learning some of Qingxuan's future plans, Nuwa was no longer the secluded woman she had once been. She also wanted to help Qingxuan gather some forces.
The Phoenix Race was clearly an excellent choice!
