Returning to the Wu Clan Ancestral Land and Recruiting the Fuxi-Nuwa Siblings into the Wu Clan
Su Ming and the others returned to the Wu Clan Ancestral Land.
The entire Pangu Hall seemed to sense their arrival.
The silent hall stirred with waves of Mysterious Light, resonating with the Heart of Pangu within him.
"Welcome, Great Venerable, back to the clan!"
The Twelve Ancestral Magi had been waiting for quite some time. When they saw Su Ming, they all bowed in unison, their voices filled with heartfelt fervor and reverence.
They had not seen him for ten thousand years, yet the Great Venerable's aura had become even more unfathomable, as though he had completely merged with this world and the Primordial Wilderness beneath their feet.
Su Ming gave a slight nod and swept his gaze over the Twelve Ancestral Magi. Their cultivation had also advanced greatly, especially Houtu. The aura of reincarnation flowed around her, and she was already close to breaking through the threshold of the late Ancestral Wu stage.
"Not bad." Su Ming nodded approvingly.
At that moment, a violent yet profound aura suddenly erupted from the depths of Pangu Hall, shooting straight into the heavens!
The winds and clouds changed color. The laws of the Great Dao manifested in the void, weaving together into a massive Auspicious Cloud. Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown, Five Vapors Facing the Origin!
"Is someone about to break through to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage?" Zhurong widened his eyes in astonishment.
"This aura... It's that little monkey, Six-Ears!" Dijiang's expression shifted, and a trace of appreciation flashed in his eyes.
That little monkey Su Ming had brought back truly possessed extraordinary talent. It had only been a few years, yet he was already about to attain the Grand Unity Dao.
Kong Xuan and Great Roc exchanged a glance, both seeing the surprise in the other's eyes. They prided themselves on their extraordinary origins, being the sons of the Phoenix Ancestor, yet this monkey who had joined them halfway through his journey was cultivating no slower than they were.
A smile appeared on Su Ming's face. He flicked his finger, sending a strand of Mysterious Light into the depths of Pangu Hall. In an instant, it enveloped that area and severed it from all heavenly secrets.
The Six-Eared Macaque had an extraordinary origin and had once been rejected by the Dao Ancestor. His breakthrough to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage was no small matter, and there could be no mishaps.
With Su Ming protecting his cultivation, the surging aura quickly stabilized, ultimately transforming into a pillar of light that pierced through heaven and earth before slowly receding.
A moment later, a figure scratching his ears and cheeks bounded out of the hall. Upon seeing Su Ming, he immediately somersaulted over, then bowed deeply.
"Your disciple Six-Ears greets Master! May Master be well!"
At that moment, the Six-Eared Macaque's aura was perfectly harmonious, and divine light shone brilliantly in his eyes. He was now a genuine Grand Unity Golden Immortal!
He had originally been one of the Four Mixed-World Monkeys, possessing an extraordinary origin. Having also received the true cultivation method passed down by Su Ming, he had finally broken through that shackle after ten thousand years of arduous cultivation, aided by the Destiny/Luck of the Wu Clan.
"Rise." Su Ming helped him up with a smile. "From now on, you are also a Grand Unity Golden Immortal. You should carry yourself with the bearing of a powerhouse."
"Hehe, in front of Master, your disciple will always be that little monkey from back then." Six-Ears grinned mischievously.
Su Ming smiled, then pointed at Kong Xuan and Great Roc. "Let me introduce you. These two are my newly accepted disciples, Kong Xuan and Golden-Winged Great Peng. From now on, they will be your junior brothers."
Six-Ears' gaze immediately fell on Kong Xuan and Great Roc. His eyes rolled, and he grinned. "So you're my two junior brothers. Your senior brother offers his respects! From now on, in the Primordial Wilderness, if anyone dares bully you, just give them your senior brother's name!"
Kong Xuan was arrogant by nature and merely nodded faintly in greeting.
Golden-Winged Great Peng, however, was different. Impatient by nature, he looked Six-Ears up and down before curling his lip. "You hairy-faced monkey don't look much stronger than me. What a big mouth you have."
"Hey! You feathered bird, you dare look down on your senior brother?" Six-Ears immediately bristled and moved forward to argue.
"That's enough." Su Ming spoke calmly. His voice was not loud, yet the three youngsters immediately fell silent.
"As fellow disciples, you should show one another affection and offer mutual assistance. You'll understand that in time."
He looked toward the Twelve Ancestral Magi and asked, "Did anything major happen within the clan while I was in seclusion?"
Dijiang stepped forward and respectfully replied, "Reporting to the Great Venerable, everything is well. Our Wu Clan warriors now cover the Primordial World Great Earth. New Great Witches are born every day, and our strength continues to rise. It's just that..."
His tone shifted, and his face showed difficulty. "Our Wu Clan does not cultivate the primordial spirit and does not understand the workings of heaven. We always feel as though we're looking at flowers through a fog when it comes to the future. If this continues, changes may arise."
The other Ancestral Magi nodded one after another. This was the greatest weakness of the Wu Clan. Their physical bodies were invincible, yet they knew nothing about heavenly secrets and destiny. They were like giants blindfolded—possessing immense strength, but not knowing where to use it.
Su Ming understood upon hearing this.
This was precisely the problem he intended to solve after leaving seclusion.
"I already have a plan." Su Ming gazed toward Buzhou Mountain. There, he had prepared a "brain" for the Wu Clan.
"You guard the clan. I'll go out for a while."
Before his words had even faded, his figure vanished from the spot.
Buzhou Mountain, halfway up the mountain.
This was the Cave Mansion of Fuxi and Nuwa.
Su Ming's figure appeared once more.
After learning that Su Ming had arrived, Fuxi and Nuwa came out to welcome him.
"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Su Ming." Upon seeing Su Ming, Fuxi clasped his hands and bowed, a hint of scrutiny in his eyes.
He could not see through Su Ming's depths at all. The man seemed like a vast and profound starry sky, leaving Fuxi's divination techniques—of which he was so proud—with nowhere to begin.
"Fellow Daoist Fuxi, I trust you've been well." Su Ming returned the greeting.
Without exchanging many pleasantries, Su Ming got straight to the point. "I came today to formally invite both of you to join my Wu Clan."
As soon as he said this, the air instantly fell silent.
Fuxi and Nuwa exchanged a glance, both seeing the surprise in the other's eyes.
Although they were on good terms with Su Ming, they were ultimately great figures of the Demon Clan, while the relationship between the Wu and Demon Clans now...
Seeing that he had discerned their concerns, Su Ming continued, "The situation in the Primordial Wilderness is turbulent, and the Tribulation is approaching. No one can remain untouched. The Heavenly Court of the Demon Clan may appear powerful, but its Destiny/Luck is mixed and internal conflicts never cease. It is not a good choice."
"As for my Wu Clan, we are True Descendants of Pangu and rule the earth. If the two of you join us—especially with Fellow Daoist Fuxi's gift for deduction—you can certainly fill the Wu Clan's final weakness. With the Wu Clan's Destiny/Luck protecting you, it will also bring boundless benefits to your future paths."
"Most importantly..." Su Ming's tone became especially solemn. "I can guarantee that I will protect both of you through the great calamity to come."
That final promise was as heavy as a thousand jun!
Fuxi's breathing stalled.
With his wisdom, he had naturally already deduced that a great calamity would inevitably descend upon heaven and earth in the future, and that he and his sister would likely be caught within it.
He had spent these years cultivating in seclusion precisely to seek a sliver of life.
And now, Su Ming—the Great Venerable of the Wu Clan and the strongest figure in the Primordial Wilderness—had given him a promise.
Fuxi sank into deep thought. The River Diagram and Luo Script in his hands flickered uncertainly, clearly conducting an intense deduction.
After a long while, he exhaled slowly, and the light faded.
He looked at Su Ming and bowed solemnly. "Fuxi is willing to lead my younger sister Nuwa in joining the Wu Clan. Greetings, Great Venerable!"
Nuwa, who had remained silent from beginning to end, also gave a graceful bow after Fuxi made his decision. Her clear eyes held absolute trust in both her elder brother and Su Ming.
"Good!" Su Ming laughed heartily. "With the two of you assisting us, how could my Wu Clan fail to accomplish great things?"
