Cloud Tower slowly passed through a Grand Formation.

As stars shifted and time flew, Qing Xuan and Nuwa had already arrived at a Blessed Land.

They saw majestic peaks and swirling clouds.

A waterfall cascaded down the cliff face, like a silver ribbon hanging in the air.

Warm springs bubbled at the valley floor, mist rising and refracting sunlight into colorful halos.

Strange flowers and exotic grasses grew by the springs, their leaves adorned with sparkling dewdrops. A gentle breeze carried a refreshing, exotic fragrance.

In the distance, pavilions and towers were faintly visible, with jade steps and glazed tiles. Bells hung from the eaves, swaying in the wind and emitting clear, melodious sounds.

Occasionally, spirit deer would pass by with flowers in their mouths, and immortal cranes would soar high, their calls echoing through the valley.

Natural stone chambers were formed within the mountain walls, complete with stone tables and stools. Faint patterns on the walls seemed to form runes, emitting a gentle spiritual energy.

This place was blessed with spiritual energy and outstanding natural beauty, truly a paradise on earth and an excellent place for cultivation.

Qing Xuan looked at the scene before him, sighing softly in his heart.

Looks like my master has good taste, setting up the dojo so beautifully.

Although the spiritual energy isn't as dense as that of top-tier Blessed Lands, it's still first-class in the Great Desolation.

It wouldn't be bad to just lie around and be a slacker here.

Especially with such a beautiful master by my side.

Nuwa glanced at Qing Xuan with a hint of pride.

She had put a lot of effort into decorating this dojo.

Now that Qing Xuan approved, Nuwa felt exceptionally happy.

However, this vast dojo is still a bit too quiet.

But then again, the Great Desolation is still in the midst of the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation. The Three Primordial Races are still fighting to unify the Great Desolation, unaware that the Heavenly Dao would never allow one faction to become too powerful. Even the Human Race later, though hailed as the protagonists of heaven and earth, would still end up being a place where the Saints harvest their luck.

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

What a shame. I heard that once the Phoenix Race takes human form, they are all beings of unparalleled beauty. When the Phoenix Race pledges allegiance to master later, I must see it with my own eyes.

Hearing this, Nuwa found it hard to believe.

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

They were one of the Three Primordial Races, the strongest three groups in the Great Desolation right now.

Legend had it that the leaders of the three races had already broken through to Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

How could such a powerful force pledge allegiance to someone else?

Could these words be just the ramblings of this unfilial disciple?

Although she could hear Qing Xuan's inner thoughts, none of what Qing Xuan had said so far could be verified.

Because of the Obscuring Technique given by the System, Nuwa couldn't discern Qing Xuan's true origins.

His Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasures and Innate Supreme Treasures had not been revealed either.

Even she herself didn't dare to think that she could become the first female Saint in heaven and earth.

So, were Qing Xuan's inner thoughts true or false?

Could a mere Heavenly Immortal realm cultivator truly glimpse the secrets of heaven, and such distant secrets at that?

Was this unfilial disciple just thinking random thoughts in his mind?

Suddenly, Nuwa began to doubt the truthfulness of Qing Xuan's inner thoughts.

Just then, a chubby baby wearing a bellyband and with two pigtails came walking over.

"Niang Niang, Niang Niang. You're back. Great Master Fuxi is asking for you in the main hall."

Fuxi? My brother-in-law. He was tricked by those two birds on the Sun Star into going to the Heavenly Court and eventually perished in the Witch-Demon Tribulation.

If not for a Saint sister, he might not even have had the chance for reincarnation.

Speaking of which, Fuxi's reincarnation is precisely the Human Emperor of the Human Race. Unfortunately, humanity has not awakened, and the Human Emperor is stuck at the Quasi-Saint realm, unable to break through.

Nuwa cast a solemn glance at Qing Xuan.

Although she was still unsure whether Qing Xuan's inner thoughts were true or false, it was better to believe them than not.

Nuwa and Fuxi were siblings, living together since they took human form. Their sibling bond was undeniably deep.

"I understand. This is my disciple, Qing Xuan. Take him around and show him the place."

After instructing the attendant, Nuwa looked at Qing Xuan again.

"Disciple, get acquainted with the dojo with the attendant and find a place to settle down yourself. I have something to discuss with your Martial Uncle."

Qing Xuan cupped his hands.

"Master, rest assured."

Nuwa nodded and headed towards the main hall.

Main Hall.

A young Daoist priest, clad in a black and white Daoist robe, sat cross-legged on a futon. Mysterious runes continuously flickered around him, as if reciting the ultimate principles of heaven and earth.

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

"Sister, you're back."

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

Nuwa casually sat on another futon to the side.

"Brother, did you gain anything from your outing this time?"

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

As expected, Fuxi smiled and nodded.

"On my journey to gain experience, I met two fellow Daoists. They are the Three-legged Golden Crows, born on the Sun Star."

"I had a very pleasant conversation with the two brothers. We discussed the grand situation of the Great Desolation, and many of our ideas coincided with mine."

"Moreover, from my observation, these two brothers possess the aura of rulers. They will surely achieve great things in the future."

"They invited me to gather beings who have been oppressed due to the war between the Three Primordial Races, and to unite together, taking the name 'Demon' to establish a race."

Fuxi cultivated the Way of Deduction and could be called the foremost divine calculator below the Saints.

Hearing Fuxi's words, Nuwa's expression became peculiar.

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

This... Qing Xuan's inner thoughts were all accurate?

Hiss... Qing Xuan had only just been born and the first person he met was herself. It was impossible for him to have any interaction with beings on the Sun Star.

Could Qing Xuan truly peer into heavenly secrets?

This meant that Qing Xuan's inner thoughts were all true.

Then, it was also true that she, Nuwa, would become a Saint in the future.

And it was also true that she would be schemed against.

In an instant, Nuwa's eyes were filled with surprise, and she cast a longing gaze in Qing Xuan's direction.

"Little sister, little sister!"

Fuxi's voice pulled Nuwa back from her thoughts.

Seeing Nuwa snap back to attention, Fuxi asked again.

"Little sister, what do you think of this Demon Race? Why don't you join me? Fellow Daoists Di Jun and Tai Yi said that if my sister and I join the Demon Race, we will be granted the positions of Demon Emperors."

Nuwa interrupted Fuxi with a gesture.

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

"I've taken in a disciple..."

Before Nuwa could finish, Fuxi interrupted in shock.

"Little sister, you've taken a disciple? What's their origin? Why didn't you bring them for me to see?"

Nuwa's forehead broke out in black lines. She was all too familiar with Fuxi's talkative nature.

Unable to bear it any longer, Nuwa punched Fuxi on the head.

"Shut up and listen to me."

Nuwa waved her sleeve and formed a mysterious hand seal, disrupting all the heavenly secrets in the vicinity.

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

He might be a bit goofy and talkative, but he, Fuxi, was definitely one of the smartest people in the Great Desolation.

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

Thus, Fuxi pointed a finger, and a mysterious Bagua pattern enveloped the entire hall.

"Alright, little sister. The heavenly secrets here have been completely disrupted. No one will be able to pry into them."

Nuwa didn't play coy any longer.

She told Fuxi everything about Qing Xuan.
