Cat Loans-Interested? (Continued)
Bai Chen noticed something amiss with Nuwa's words and added:
"Nuwa, this includes Fuxi and other sages."
Bai Chen was mainly afraid that after Nuwa stopped participating in the demon race's massacre of humans, other saints would come out to find Nuwa and try to drag Nuwa into the mess.
"Um!"
Nuwa nodded in agreement with Bai Chen's words, then turned her gaze to Jin Ning, who was leaving, and gave him some instructions:
"Jin Ning, do as Little White says!"
Nuwa understood from Bai Chen's words that this matter might involve multiple sages, and thus realized that this matter was truly difficult to handle.
As Nuwa began her seclusion, Bai Chen and Jin Ning left the main hall together.
After leaving the main hall, Jin Ning asked Bai Chen:
"Bai Chen, how did you deceive Empress Nuwa this time?"
Jin Ning had known Bai Chen for many years and they had developed a certain relationship, which was why she dared to speak to Bai Chen like that.
"Snort!"
"Can you call it deception when it comes to my affairs?"
Bai Chen snorted coldly, said something irritatingly, and then flew back to his Daoist temple Zu Fei Palace, to take a nap.
"Well!"
Jin Ning watched Bai Chen leave, sighed, and said helplessly:
"Clan leader, you've really put Empress Nuwa in a terrible position!"
Jin Ning felt that Yuanfeng had acted somewhat unrighteously in entrusting Bai Chen to Nuwa back then.
Nuwa helped Yuanfeng take care of the Phoenix Clan, but Yuanfeng gave Bai Chen to Nuwa, causing the saintly Nuwa to develop a cat addiction.
Jin Ning felt that Nuwa's cat addiction was much more serious than Yuanfeng's, and was basically incurable.
Yuanfeng: Have I ever harmed Nuwa? I entrusted this cat to Nuwa, Nuwa should thank me!
Nuwa: Yuanfeng, my friend, I'm so happy you gave me a cat.
I, Nuwa, will take good care of this cat and the Phoenix Clan for you, so you should just obediently suppress them under the South Bright Undying Volcano and don't even think about regaining your freedom.
Having gone through this great war, both the Lich and the Lich races have come to realize their own problems.
The Witch Clan faces two problems: the Pangu True Body and insufficient military strength.
The question of Pangu True Body is relatively easy to resolve.
Ultimately, the main problem lies in the fact that the Ancestral Witch had not cultivated their Ancestor Witch True Body to the fullest extent, and that Chi You, as Postnatal Ancestor Witch, possessed a Ancestral Witch that was far too weak.
As for the issue of the Witch Clan's military strength, the Witch Clan currently has no solution.
There was no other way; the Witch Clan had always relied on the essence of Pangu Essence Blood from the Pangu Blood Pool to nurture Witch Clan sons and thus expand their army.
Now, the Witch Clan can only amass troops, waiting for the Ancestral Witch to cultivate their Pangu True Body to become powerful enough, and for them to gather enough troops to conquer the Heavenly Court in one fell swoop.
As for the demon race, they are not like the Witch Clan, after all, the Witch Clan was the victor, while they were the defeated.
The atmosphere was incredibly heavy for the defeated demon race.
However, it didn't have much impact on Kunpeng's six lackeys, since their losses this time were not significant; at most, they only lost a small portion of their army.
Compared to the six Kunpeng, the situation of Di Jun and his brother, along with the other five great Demon Saint, was much worse.
Not only were they all seriously injured, but the fact that Kunpeng and his forces suddenly withdrew from the battle also meant that their army was confronted head-on by the Witch Clan, resulting in heavy losses.
It can be said that half of their army was lost.
Fuxi wasn't having an easy time either, as he was injured by Bai Chen, damaging his companion spirit treasure Fuxi Qin.
This has resulted in him not only having to heal his injuries, but also repairing the Fuxi, his companion spirit treasure, which was damaged by Bai Chen.
Speaking of the great defeat suffered by the demon race, there was one person in the Heavenly Court who was very happy: Empress Xihe.
When Xihe first learned of the demon race's great defeat, she was worried about Di Jun's injuries, but after realizing what had happened, she was overjoyed.
The Witch Clan possessed the Pangu True Body, Di Jun's Primordial Chaos Luo Great Array was no match for the Pangu True Body.
This was devastating news for the demon race, but for Xihe, it was incredibly good news!
Since the Primordial Chaos Luo Great Array was no match for the Pangu True Body of the Witch Clan, the importance of the Great Zhou Celestial Array, another grand formation of the Demon Clan, became apparent.
After all, the Great Zhou Celestial Array requires Xihe, the Lord of Taiyin, to preside over the array's core in order to be activated.
Therefore, Xihe felt that this was a good opportunity for her Di Jun to ease their relationship, and that it might even be possible for their marital relationship to return to normal.
In the Heavenly Court, the story of Di Jun being cuckolded by Fuxi was widely spread.
The fact that Di Jun had been cuckolded by Fuxi Xi was originally known only to a very small number of people in the demon race.
However, because Xuanming made this matter public during the war between the Wu and Yao races, many Yao warriors learned about it, and thus the matter began to spread widely.
Now that this matter has spread throughout the Heavenly Court, Di Jun has no way to suppress it and can only tell the public that it is a rumor.
This move, at best, prevents the demon warriors from speaking of the matter openly, but who knows what they might say in private?
Little did Di Jun know that the fact that he had been cuckolded by Fuxi had already spread far and wide throughout the Primordial World.
Of course, this was driven by the Witch Clan. The Ancestral Witch Xuanming felt that sharing joy was better than keeping it to himself; after all, how could such an interesting thing be known only to his own Witch Clan?
This must be shared with those Innate Great God, so they can all enjoy the show together.
With the encouragement of the Ancestral Witch, the news quickly reached the ears of the Innate Great God.
The Innate Great God felt immense sympathy for Di Jun, while at the same time, they despised Fuxi and Xihe, the adulterous couple.
He was even more disappointed in Di Jun. As one of the Innate Great God, he actually became a green-haired turtle, a ninja turtle. How shameful!
Time flies, and countless cycles have passed in the blink of an eye.
After the Di Jun brothers finished healing, their first priority was to summon the five great Demon Saint for a private meeting to discuss how to handle the current situation.
Fei Dan, Jiu Ying, and Gui Che, these three great Demon Saint, although their will was not firm at the beginning, had the idea of moving closer to Fuxi.
However, because of the previous great battle, Fuxi did not take the three of them with him when he fled, which led to them fighting a bitter battle against the Ancestral Witch Ancestral Witch.
The three of them were very dissatisfied with Fuxi and have now severed ties with Fuxi.
Fuxi: What do you mean I didn't take the three of you with me when I ran away? I was carried away by Kunpeng, I didn't run away on my own.
"Heavenly Emperor, the most urgent thing now is for you to reconcile with the Empress. We need the Great Zhou Celestial Array."
Bai Ze felt that everything else was secondary; the important thing was to get the Great Zhou Celestial Array sorted out.
Bai Ze felt that resolving this matter would be simple, but it mainly depended on whether Di Jun was willing to cooperate.
"I am aware of this matter."
Di Jun nodded. The problem with the Great Zhou Celestial Array was too simple; he only needed to say a few words to Xihe.
Xihe: Di Jun, although I am the one at fault, times have changed.
Now is not the time for me to beg for your forgiveness, but for you to beg me to help you set up the Great Zhou Celestial Array to deal with the Witch Clan.
"Regarding Bai Chen and the Twelve Ancestor Witches, I wish to forge a supreme offensive treasure specifically designed to break through physical supernatural abilities."
Di Jun shared his thoughts, recalling how Fuxi and Bai Chen fought, and how Bai Chen used his physical supernatural powers to ignore Fuxi's Daoist supernatural abilities.
And the frustrating situation of fighting against the Ancestral Witch but being unable to break through their Ancestor Witch True Body.
Therefore, he felt that crafting a supreme offensive treasure specifically designed to break through physical defenses was a very important matter.
"Heavenly Emperor, it's acceptable to refine offensive treasures that allow the Twelve Ancestor Witches to connect their physical bodies to their Ancestor Witch True Body, but let's forget about refining spiritual treasures that can counter Bai Chen's physical supernatural abilities!"
Bai Ze began to advise Di Jun, but who was the other party trying to kill with those words?
After all, if Nuwa found out that Di Jun wanted to refine a supreme weapon to counter Bai Chen, everyone would be doomed.
Given Nuwa's doting affection for Bai Chen, the Di Jun brothers are doomed. It's possible that even those of us who participated in the meeting, including the five great Demon Saint, will be killed as well.
After pondering for a moment, Eastern Emperor Taiyi said in a deep voice:
"Brother, to be able to break through the Ancestor Witch True Body and spiritual treasure is extremely rare."
"To forge such a magical treasure, it would be virtually impossible without the intervention of a sage."
As the vanguard in the campaign against the witches, Eastern Emperor Taiyi was well aware of how difficult it was to break through the Ancestor Witch True Body of the Ancestral Witch.
In particular, the Ancestor Witch True Body of the Ancestral Witch Dijiang, Rushou, and Xuanming, the Ancestral Witch of the Metal element, are far more powerful than the other Ancestral Witch; they are simply terrifying.
Upon Eastern Emperor Taiyi's statement, those present fell silent and did not refute it.
Everyone knows that the Ancestral Witch suffered because of their physical supernatural powers.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Eastern Emperor Taiyi continued:
"Brother, among all the spiritual treasures I've seen, besides the few precious artifacts in the hands of the sages, only Bai Chen's Heaven Measuring Ruler can easily break through the Ancestor Witch True Body!"
"Bai Chen's Heaven Measuring Ruler, in terms of offensive power alone, is superior to my Chaos Bell."
I estimate that the Taiji Diagram, the Innate Supreme Treasure of the Saint Taiqing, is probably inferior to the Heaven Measuring Ruler in terms of offensive power alone.
Only the Pangu Banner, Innate Supreme Treasure treasure primarily used for offensive purposes, can outclass the Heaven Measuring Ruler.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi had fought Bai Chen several times, so he knew how powerful the Heaven Measuring Ruler was.
Honestly, he felt that instead of racking his brains to forge an offensive treasure that was unlikely to be made, it would be better to find a way to get Bai Chen's Heaven Measuring Ruler.
"Eastern Emperor, Bai Chen would never lend us the Heaven Measuring Ruler."
Putting aside our discord with Bai Chen, just considering Bai Chen's relationship with Houtu and Xuanming, how could he possibly lend us the Heaven Measuring Ruler to deal with the Witch Clan?"
Bai Ze thought that Eastern Emperor Taiyi delusional. Instead of borrowing Bai Chen's Heaven Measuring Ruler, it would be easier to borrow Yuanshi Tianzun's Pangu Banner.
"Bai Chen is greedy for profit; if we lure him with a large sum of money, we might be able to borrow it."
The Demon Saint Jiu Ying had been silent until now, finally spoke up, and his words were echoed by the others.
