The Cloud Pavilion slowly passed through a grand formation.

As the stars shifted and the constellations changed, Qingxuan and Nuwa arrived at a Blessed Land.

Magnificent peaks towered into the sky, surrounded by curling clouds and mist.

A waterfall fell from between the cliffs, hanging in the air like a silver ribbon.

Warm springs bubbled at the bottom of the valley, their vapor rising hazily as sunlight reflected off them in a seven-colored halo.

Exotic flowers and rare herbs grew beside the spring. Crystal-clear dewdrops rolled across their leaves, and whenever the breeze passed, they gave off a refreshing fragrance.

In the distance, pavilions and towers could faintly be seen. Their steps were made of jade, their roofs of glazed tiles, and bells hung from the eaves, swaying gently in the wind and producing clear, melodious sounds.

From time to time, spirit deer carrying flowers passed by, while immortal cranes spread their wings and soared high into the sky, their cries echoing through the valley.

There were also naturally formed stone chambers between the cliffs. Stone tables and stools were all present inside, while the natural patterns on the walls faintly formed the shape of runes and emitted a faint spiritual aura.

This place was blessed by nature, truly an earthly paradise and an excellent place for cultivation.

Qingxuan looked at the scene before him and sighed inwardly.

[It seems my master has pretty good taste after all. She arranged her Dao Field so beautifully.]

[Although its spiritual energy isn't as dense as that of a top Blessed Land, it's still first-rate in the Primordial World.]

[It wouldn't be bad to lie low here and live as a slacker.]

[Most importantly, my beautiful master is by my side.]

Nuwa glanced at Qingxuan with a slightly smug look.

She had spent a great deal of effort arranging this Dao Field.

Now that she had received Qingxuan's approval, Nuwa felt exceptionally happy.

[Still, this enormous Dao Field is a little too deserted.]

[But that makes sense. The Primordial World is currently in the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation, and the Three Primordial Races are still fighting desperately to unify the Primordial World. Little do they know that how could the Heavenly Dao allow one family to grow too powerful? Even the Human Race later, despite being known as the protagonist of Heaven and Earth, would still become a place where the Saints harvested karmic luck.]

[It seems I'll have to wait a while longer for the Phoenix Race ladies to pledge allegiance.]

[What a pity. I heard that after taking human form, the women of the Phoenix Race were all peerless beauties. Once the Phoenix Race pledges allegiance to my master in the future, I must see them with my own eyes.]

Upon hearing this, Nuwa found it somewhat unbelievable.

The Phoenix Race would pledge allegiance to her in the future?

That was one of the Three Primordial Races, currently among the three strongest races in the Primordial World.

It was said that the leaders of the three races had already broken through to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.

With such power, how could they possibly pledge allegiance to someone else?

Could these words be nothing more than this unfilial disciple's nonsense?

Although she could hear Qingxuan's inner voice, none of the things he had said so far could be verified.

Because of the Obscuring Technique granted by the system, Nuwa could not see Qingxuan's true origins either.

Nor had he displayed his Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure or Innate Supreme Treasure.

As for saying that she could become the first female Saint between Heaven and Earth—even Nuwa herself did not dare think that way.

So, was Qingxuan's inner voice true or false?

Could someone with merely a Heavenly Immortal cultivation really pry into the secrets of Heaven, especially secrets so far in the future?

Could this unfilial disciple simply be making wild guesses in his heart?

For some reason, Nuwa began to doubt the truth of Qingxuan's inner voice.

At that moment, a chubby child wearing a dudou and two braided pigtails walked over.

"Goddess, Goddess, you're back. Great Lord Fuxi asked you to go to the main hall."

[Fuxi? My brother-in-law was deceived by the two birds on the Sun Star into going to the Heavenly Court, and eventually perished in the Witch-Demon Tribulation.]

[If he hadn't had a Saint for a younger sister, he probably wouldn't even have gotten the chance to reincarnate.]

[Speaking of which, Fuxi reincarnated as the Human Race's Heavenly Emperor. What a pity that the Human Dao had yet to awaken, leaving the Human Emperor stuck at the Quasi-Saint realm, unable to break through.]

Nuwa gave Qingxuan a solemn look.

Although she still could not determine whether Qingxuan's inner voice was true or false, it was better to believe that it was true than to believe that it was false.

Nuwa and Fuxi were blood siblings. They had lived together ever since taking human form, and their bond was naturally deep.

"This seat understands. This is the disciple I accepted, Qingxuan. Take him around for a while."

After instructing the child, Nuwa looked toward Qingxuan.

"Disciple, familiarize yourself with the Dao Field with the child and find a place to settle down. Your Martial Uncle and I have something to discuss."

Qingxuan cupped his hands.

"Rest assured, Master."

Nuwa nodded and left in the direction of the main hall.

The main hall.

A young Daoist wearing a black-and-white Daoist robe sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion. Profound runes constantly flashed around him, as though they were expounding the principles of Heaven and Earth.

At a certain moment, Fuxi opened his eyes and looked toward the entrance.

"Little Sister, you're back."

Nuwa nodded. There was no need for empty formalities between siblings.

Nuwa casually sat down on another meditation cushion.

"Elder Brother, did you gain anything from this outing?"

Fuxi and Nuwa had been together since birth. Nuwa could tell that Fuxi was in a good mood.

Sure enough, Fuxi smiled and nodded.

"During my travels this time, I encountered two Daoist friends on the way. They were the Innate Beings born on the Sun Star—the Three-legged Golden Crows."

"I had a very pleasant conversation with the two brothers. When discussing the general trend of the Primordial World, many of their ideas coincided with mine."

"Moreover, according to my observations, the two brothers possess the aura of sovereigns. They will surely accomplish great things in the future."

"They invited me to gather the beings oppressed by the war between the Three Primordial Races and unite them. We would call ourselves demons and establish a race together."

Fuxi cultivated the Dao of deduction and could be called the greatest diviner below the Saints.

Listening to Fuxi's words, Nuwa's expression turned strange.

The Sun Star, the Three-legged Golden Crows, deceiving Fuxi, the Demon Race.

This... everything that unfilial disciple Qingxuan had said was actually coming true?

Hiss... Qingxuan had only just been born, and the first person he had encountered was her. There was no way he could have had any connection with the beings on the Sun Star.

Could Qingxuan really see through the secrets of Heaven?

In other words, everything in Qingxuan's inner voice was true.

Then Nuwa really could become a Saint in the future.

And she really would be schemed against.

In an instant, Nuwa's eyes filled with delight as she cast her gaze toward Qingxuan in the distance.

"Little Sister, Little Sister!"

Fuxi's voice pulled Nuwa's thoughts back.

Seeing that Nuwa had returned to her senses, Fuxi asked again.

"Little Sister, what do you think of this Demon Race? Why don't you join it with me? Daoist Friends Di Jun and Tai Yi said that if the two of us joined the Demon Race, we would become the Demon Emperor and Demon Empress."

Nuwa raised a hand to interrupt Fuxi.

"Elder Brother, I also have something to tell you."

"I accepted a disciple..."

Before Nuwa could finish, Fuxi interrupted in shock.

"Little Sister, you accepted a disciple? What are his origins like? Why didn't you bring him here for me to see?"

Nuwa's forehead immediately beaded with black lines. She knew her brother's talkative nature all too well.

At the end of her patience, Nuwa punched Fuxi on the head.

"Shut up and listen to me."

Nuwa waved her sleeve and formed profound hand seals, completely disrupting the Heavenly secrets in the vicinity.

Seeing Nuwa's actions, Fuxi's expression immediately turned solemn.

He might have been a little foolish and somewhat talkative, but Fuxi was absolutely one of the cleverest people in the Primordial World.

From Nuwa's actions, he knew that whatever she was about to say definitely could not be known by a third person.

Thus, Fuxi pointed a finger, and a profound Eight Trigrams diagram enveloped the entire main hall.

"All right, Little Sister. The Heavenly secrets here have been completely disrupted. No one will be able to pry into them."

Nuwa did not beat around the bush.

She told Fuxi everything about Qingxuan in full.
