Primordial Era: Apprenticeship Under Laozi, I Forge a Mythical Golden Elixir

At this moment, the other Saints in the Primordial Era also sensed something.

The ancestral vein of the West, Mount Sumeru.

Zhunti opened his eyes, "Laozi suffered a backlash, his life or death is unknown."

Jieyin paused, then chanted a Buddhist name, "Amitabha!"

The Eight-Nine Lightning Tribulation had also alarmed the Two Sages of the West, but they hadn't expected Laozi to take action.

A hint of a sneer flashed in Zhunti's eyes, "Even a wealthy man's son doesn't sit with his back against a dangerous wall."

"Laozi's actions are simply an embarrassment to us Saints."

Jieyin's surface was calm, showing a look of suffering, but inwardly he was laughing.

As if not satisfied watching from their cave dwelling, the two even appeared on the peak of Mount Sumeru. Zhunti said, "Senior Brother, we Saints are immortal. Although Luo Xuan is astonishingly talented, if we wait for a thousand or ten thousand years, will we still lack prodigies?"

"Why did Laozi do this?"

After pondering for a moment, Jieyin shook his head, "It's truly not worth it."

He also felt that Laozi's actions were a bit too foolish.

"Fellow Daoist Laozi truly is..."

Fuxi sighed, unsure how to comment.

Nuwa's beautiful eyes gazed intently at Luo Xuan.

"Big Brother, do you think Laozi was wrong?"

Fuxi pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "Luo Xuan is Fellow Daoist Laozi's chief disciple, and a prodigy unmatched in the entire Primordial Era. If it were me, I would make the same choice."

"Is that so?"

Nuwa smiled charmingly, "Big Brother, if I also suffer a backlash, you must take good care of me."

Fuxi looked at Nuwa's expression and finally sensed something was wrong. His face changed, "Little Sister, what are you planning to do?"

Nuwa turned to look at Luo Xuan and smiled, "I also plan to lend Luo Xuan a hand."

Fuxi really wanted to slap himself right now. He hurriedly said, "Little Sister, Luo Xuan isn't your disciple, you don't need to do this!"

"But I am the Holy Mother of the Human Race."

Nuwa's smile disappeared, and she said solemnly, "The Human Race offers me sacrifices every year without asking for anything in return. Luo Xuan is a once-in-a-lifetime prodigy for the Human Race."

"Since I am the Holy Mother of the Human Race, I should help him."

Fuxi opened his mouth, and finally let out a sigh.

He knew that since Nuwa had made this decision, no amount of persuasion from him would change her mind.

The eighth level of the Eight-Nine Lightning Tribulation is called the Hunyuan Eagle-Hound Lightning.

As the name suggests, this lightning tribulation, when it strikes, is comparable to the power of a Hunyuan Golden Immortal!

Perhaps because it was the final tribulation, the time it took for the tribulation clouds to gather was exceptionally long.

When Luo Xuan caught Laozi and settled him down, he flew back.

Only then did the lightning in the tribulation clouds fully form.

It was also nine bolts of lightning.

However, the difference was that these nine bolts of lightning had condensed into a giant eagle and a ferocious wolf.

The wolf's massive head seemed capable of swallowing the heavens and earth, baring its teeth at Luo Xuan.

The lightning was condensed to its extreme, and the feathers on the giant eagle's body appeared lifelike.

Di Jun excitedly stretched his neck and laughed wantonly.

"Yes, that's it, let him die in the final tribulation..."

Before Di Jun could finish speaking, he felt as if his throat was being choked, and his laughter abruptly stopped.

The moment the Hunyuan Eagle-Hound transformed from lightning lunged towards Luo Xuan, another figure appeared in the air.

"Hunyuan Eagle-Hound Lightning, I'd like to try this as well."

As the Hunyuan Eagle-Hound approached, Nuwa slowly opened her five fingers.

Chapter 47: A Life for a Life

The giant eagle in the sky let out a sharp cry.

As its wings flapped, lightning flashed.

"Holy Mother! It's the Holy Mother!"

"The Holy Mother is here, Master Xuan is saved!"

All the humans poured out of their courtyards.

The lightning that had seemed world-destroying in their eyes was nothing before Nuwa.

Seeing Nuwa appear, Luo Xuan was also quite surprised.

Nuwa glanced at Luo Xuan.

Although she didn't speak, Luo Xuan understood what Nuwa meant.

He was undergoing his tribulation, and two Sages were helping him.

However, on second thought, this Heavenly Dao was not benevolent.

It was using the Eight-Nine Lightning Tribulation to try and destroy him, a mere Grand Unity.

Was it really necessary, just because he wanted to make the Human Race a bit stronger?

As his thoughts raced, the giant eagle moved.

Nuwa's tail flicked, and she stood in front of Luo Xuan.

She opened her five fingers towards the giant eagle.

The lightning-condensed giant eagle continuously shrank before Nuwa's cupped hand.

"Empress Nuwa is mighty!"

Luo Xuan shouted excitedly.

However, if he remembered correctly, Nuwa had become a Sage through the merit of creating humans before she had severed her three corpses.

Although she was the first Sage in the Primordial Era, she was also the weakest.

Could Nuwa block the final layer of the lightning tribulation?

Just as he was thinking this, Nuwa let out a soft hum.

"Boom!"

The giant eagle instantly turned into streaks of lightning snakes, scattering across heaven and earth.

The residual shock caused Luo Xuan's limbs to go numb for a moment.

However, Lu Xiu'an was quick and caught Nuwa.

Nuwa was on the verge of death, even weaker than Laozi.

Still, Luo Xuan softly said to Nuwa, "Thank you, Holy Mother."

Outside Kunlun, two figures blurred past the scenery.

One rode the Qingping Sword.

The other held the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi.

Yuanshi and Tongtian, immediately after Laozi, rushed towards Shouyang Mountain.

However, they were a step too late compared to Nuwa.

When Nuwa fell, the two figures paused.

The Heavenly Dao remained silent and, from the unseen depths, issued a decree.

Luo Xuan was subjected to the Eight-Nine Lightning Tribulation due to the karma and karmic forces generated by helping the Human Race.

Whoever dared to help Luo Xuan again would have their Sage status weakened.

And be cast into eternal damnation.

This decree was issued to all Sages.

Tongtian tightly gripped the Qingping Sword and said indignantly, "It was the Heavenly Dao that attacked Luo Xuan. This Eight-Nine Lightning Tribulation did not arise from nothing."

Yuanshi's eyes were filled with unwillingness.

"If only we had been a bit faster."

Mount Sumeru.

Zhunti was grinning from ear to ear.

"So what if Laozi and Nuwa intervened? They only managed to displease the Heavenly Dao."

"Amitabha."

Jieyin clasped his hands together, unable to suppress the smile on his lips.

They had also received the decree from the Heavenly Dao.

Zhunti's eyes were filled with schadenfreude.

"With Luo Xuan dead, I'd like to see who the Three Pure Ones will ask to refine pills."

Over the years, Luo Xuan had refined a massive amount of pills.
