Di Jun's Dissatisfaction with Nuwa! (cont.)
After receiving Jin Ning's answer, Nuwa's answer was now confirmed.
Nuwa then turned her gaze to Jin Ning and continued to ask:
"Which of you, Houtu Xuanming, do you think has a higher probability of becoming a future sage?"
Faced with Nuwa's repeated questioning, Jin Ning pondered for a moment before giving his reply:
"Your Majesty, Jin Ning believes it is the Ancestral Witch Houtu."
"Because Bai Chen's relationship with the Ancestral Witch Houtu is better than his relationship with the Xuanming Ancestral Witch."
Based on Jin Ning's understanding of Bai Chen, if Bai Chen knew who among Houtu and Xuanming would attain sainthood, he would inevitably be closer to one of them.
"I also believe it is Houtu!"
Jin Ning's answer matched Nuwa's answer once again.
Nuwa believed that Houtu would attain sainthood because her intuition told her that Houtu was different from the other Ancestral Witch.
"Jin Ning, to avoid some unnecessary trouble, I will erase this part of your memory."
As Nuwa finished speaking, a beam of divine light shot from her fingertip, erasing Jin Ning's memory.
"Houtu, I await your attainment of enlightenment!"
Nuwa murmured to herself. Even though she was certain that Houtu would attain sainthood, she still didn't take Houtu seriously.
This is Nuwa's confidence!
Now, Nuwa only has one thing to do: prepare for her upcoming sermon.
Just as Bai Chen said, if her preaching this time is not as effective as the Jieyin the Three Pure Ones, Zhunti, and Jieyin in the future, then it will be a disgrace to Nuwa for the rest of her life.
Therefore, this time her sermon must Jieyin the Three Pure Ones, Zhunti, who will later attain sainthood.
At Kunlun Ruins, the Three Pure Ones are currently cultivating desperately, simply because the pressure brought to them by Nuwa's attainment of sainthood is too great.
The Three Pure Ones felt that Nuwa, as their junior sister, was being unfair. She attained sainthood so early, how were the three of them, as her senior brothers, supposed to live?
"Shangqing Tongtian, awaken!"
As Shangqing Tongtian was meditating, he faintly heard someone calling him.
When he stopped meditating and opened his eyes, what came into view was not Kunlun Ruins, but an incomparably solemn palace.
On the high platform of the main hall, Dao Ancestor Hongjun sat upright, holding the incomplete Jade Disk of Creation, surrounded by auspicious omens.
"Disciple Tongtian greets Master Hongjun!"
"I wonder what instructions Master Hongjun has for me in this private audience?"
Although Shangqing Tongtian was straightforward and had a pure heart, he was not stupid and immediately understood the current situation.
He was definitely brought to the Purple Cloud Palace by Dao Ancestor Hongjun through some means, and then summoned for a private audience.
"My disciple, Shangqing Tongtian, I have summoned you today to enlighten you!"
That's right, Dao Ancestor Hongjun is preparing to give Shangqing Tongtian private lessons.
You must know that because of Bai Chen, this extraordinary figure in the Great Dao, the destiny of the Primordial World is subtly changing. Why not give this prized disciple some guidance and enlightenment?
"Please enlighten me, Master Hongjun!"
Shangqing Tongtian was overjoyed and quickly bowed to Dao Ancestor Hongjun, if he guessed correctly that the other party was going to guide him to attain enlightenment.
"My disciple Tongtian, Nuwa shouldn't have attained enlightenment so early. Do you know why she did so ahead of schedule?"
Dao Ancestor Hongjun was well aware that Nuwa's attainment of Dao was somewhat earlier than expected. Although the advance was not by much, it was still earlier than expected.
He is bringing this up now to remind Shangqing Tongtian.
When Shangqing Tongtian heard that Nuwa had defied the Great Dao's Destiny and attained enlightenment ahead of schedule, he was greatly alarmed.
"Teacher Hongjun, could it be because of Bai Chen?"
After pondering for a while, Shangqing Tongtian gave his answer to Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
When Dao Ancestor Hongjun saw that Shangqing Tongtian had given the correct answer, he laughed and said:
How do you know?
Dao Ancestor Hongjun wanted to know how his disciple had come to suspect Bai Chen.
"Disciple remembers that when Master Hongjun gave three lectures at the Purple Cloud Palace, and the Great God Yang Mei accepted Bai Chen as his Direct Disciple, he said that Bai Chen was an extraordinary figure in the Great Dao."
Nuwa's early attainment of enlightenment was an anomaly.
And among the anomalies around Nuwa, only the extraordinary Bai Chen, a figure of great Dao!
Shangqing Tongtian truthfully expressed his suspicions.
"Tongtian, when Nuwa preaches, go and listen to her teachings."
At that time, you can borrow the Fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation from Bai Chen. Perhaps then you can comprehend the method of attaining enlightenment and become the next saint to achieve sainthood."
When Dao Ancestor Hongjun sent Shangqing Tongtian to borrow the Fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation from Bai Chen, he was actually trying to connect Shangqing Tongtian with Bai Chen, an anomaly of the Great Dao.
"Master Hongjun, your disciple humbly requests to borrow the Jade Disk of Creation!"
Shangqing Tongtian thought to himself that he was really clever, Fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation in Bai Chen's hand was not very big.
Although the Jade Disk of Creation in the hands of Dao Ancestor Hongjun was incomplete, it was still largely complete.
If I could borrow the Jade Disk of Creation from Dao Ancestor Hongjun, I would surely be able to comprehend the method of attaining sainthood and proving the Dao.
Dao Ancestor Hongjun shook his head and refused Shangqing Tongtian, then explained:
"My disciple Tongtian. If I were merely your master, you could easily lend me the Jade Disk of Creation."
However, as your teacher, I am also the Heavenly Dao Spokesperson, therefore I cannot defy the Great Dao's Destiny and lend you the Jade Disk of Creation without permission!
When Dao Ancestor Hongjun met Shangqing Tongtian this time, he had already violated the Great Dao's Destiny and used the Jade Disk of Creation to shield the Heavenly Dao.
If the Jade Disk of Creation were lent to Shangqing Tongtian, wouldn't that be tantamount to telling the Heavenly Dao that Dao Ancestor Hongjun is up to something?
Shangqing Tongtian saw that Dao Ancestor Hongjun refused to lend him the Jade Disk of Creation, the divine light in his eyes dimmed slightly.
Of course, he could also hear the helplessness in Dao Ancestor Hongjun's words, but he still felt uncomfortable.
"Master Hongjun, I don't have much of a relationship with Bai Chen. If I were to ask Bai Chen to lend me Fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation, he might not lend it to me."
Shangqing Tongtian felt that borrowing something from Bai Chen was no less difficult than attaining enlightenment!
After all, Bai Chen was Primordial World bandit, and the other party was naturally stingy and miserly.
If I were to try to borrow the Fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation, I'm afraid not only would I fail, but I might also be humiliated!
"If my disciple Tongtian Zhunti ask Taiqing Laozi, Yuqing Yuanshi, or Zhunti Jieyin to Jieyin, Bai Chen would certainly not lend it to him."
But if you try to borrow it, it will definitely agree.
Dao Ancestor Hongjun assured Shangqing Tongtian that he believed Shangqing Tongtian could borrow it.
Firstly, it was due to Shangqing Tongtian's own moral character; secondly, it was due to the face of his Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
With Bai Chen's intelligence, he would surely be able to guess that it was he who was guiding Shangqing Tongtian, so the other party would definitely lend the Fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation to Shangqing Tongtian.
"My disciple Tongtian, do not tell anyone about our conversation today, not even Taiqing Laozi or Yuqing Yuanshi!"
As soon as Dao Ancestor Hongjun finished speaking, he waved his Daoist robe and sent Shangqing Tongtian out of there.
Shangqing Tongtian suddenly opened his eyes and saw the Kunlun Ruins Immortal Realm, the Daoist temple of the three brothers, right before his eyes.
Shangqing Tongtian was certain that his conversation with Dao Ancestor Hongjun just now was real, not fake.
At this time, Taiqing Laozi and Yuqing Yuanshi also stopped their cultivation.
Taiqing Laozi turned to Yuqing Yuanshi and Shangqing Tongtian and asked:
"Yuanshi, Tongtian, Junior Sister Nuwa are about to preach. How about we brothers go together to listen to her teachings?"
Taiqing Laozi wanted to go and listen to the Dao, but knowing his two younger brothers' personalities, he wanted to persuade them to humble themselves and go with him to listen to the Dao.
When Yuqing Yuanshi heard that Taiqing Laozi wanted him to go listen to Nuwa preach, his face immediately fell.
"Brother, as the Pangu's Orthodox Lineage, wouldn't we, the Three Pure Ones, be ridiculed if we went to listen to Nuwa's sermons?"
Of the Three Pure Ones, Yuqing Yuanshi is the one who cares most about his reputation.
Yuqing Yuanshi felt that as the Pangu's Orthodox Lineage and Direct Disciple of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, he had already lost face because Nuwa had preemptively attained Dao.
Going to listen to Nuwa's sermons would only make things more embarrassing.
Taiqing Laozi knew his second brother's temperament and knew he couldn't persuade him, so he turned his attention to Shangqing Tongtian:
"Tongtian, what do you think?"
Taiqing Laozi was actually prepared to go and listen to the Dao alone, and he didn't really expect Shangqing Tongtian to go with him.
After all, although his third brother was not as arrogant as his second brother, Yuqing Yuanshi, he was not much less arrogant.
"Brother, I will go with you to hear the teachings."
Shangqing Tongtian originally did not want to listen to Nuwa's sermon, but he decided to listen because of the enlightenment given by Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
???
Taiqing Laozi and Yuqing Yuanshi were both startled, for this was not something their third brother, Shangqing Tongtian, should have said!
"Tongtian, this was excellent!"
After realizing what was happening, Taiqing Laozi immediately praised him.
Although my third brother was acting a bit strange today, it was a good thing that he was able to control his arrogance.
"Third brother, we are the Pangu's Orthodox Lineage, how can we go to listen to Nuwa's teachings? We should devote ourselves to comprehending the methods of proving the Dao in Kunlun Ruins!"
