Humanity Revives, Nuwa Gets Promoted! (Continued)
When Taiqing Laozi and Jieyin and Zhunti saw that Yuanshi Tianzun had changed his stance without any sense of loyalty, they immediately glared fiercely at the unrighteous Yuanshi Tianzun.
Yuanshi Tianzun: It's not that I'm disloyal, but the crime of disobeying Dao Ancestor Hongjun is too great for me to bear!
It should be noted that Taiqing Laozi, the acting leader of the Xuanmen sect, was removed from his position by Dao Ancestor Hongjun due to a momentary displeasure.
He, Yuanshi Tianzun, did not have the title of acting head of the Xuanmen sect to atone for his sins. If he displeased Dao Ancestor Hongjun, he would probably confiscate the spiritual treasure.
"You're right, Yuanshi Sage. It is the Saint Taiqing, the Saint Jieyin, and the Saint Zhunti who are defying the Dao Ancestor."
Although Yuanshi Tianzun opposed releasing Yuanfeng, Bai Chen considered that the other party had not spoken up and did not want to make things too difficult for him.
"Bai Chen, don't talk nonsense!"
Even Laozi, the Taiqing Laozi, chickened out; he was afraid of the crime of disobeying the Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
Knowing that he had already been stripped of his position as acting head of the Xuanmen sect, if he were to displease Dao Ancestor Hongjun, he feared that the Taiji Diagram, this Innate Supreme Treasure, would be lost.
"Third brother, we're sworn brothers, you can't harm us!"
Even the two Jieyin and Zhunti Direct Disciple of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Taiqing Laozi Yuanshi Tianzun, were afraid, let alone the two Named Disciple, Jieyin and Zhunti.
"Perhaps I misheard. Did all the sages just agree to release Yuanfeng?"
Seeing that none of the Four Saints of Heavenly Dao objected, Bai Chen pretended to ask a question.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The Four Saints of Heaven all expressed their agreement, and then quickly broke through the void and left, just as they had come and gone in a hurry.
With no one else around, Bai Chen took out the Mountain River Society Chart and released the two brothers Di Jun, who had been suppressed.
The moment Di Jun and his brother were released, Nuwa raised her hand and retrieved her Mountain River Society Chart. This spiritual treasure was one of the ten Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, and she couldn't let the cat keep it.
"Bai Chen, you bastard! You actually wanted to suppress us brothers in the South Bright Undying Volcano! You broke your promise!"
After being released, Eastern Emperor Taiyi learned what had happened and began to curse Bai Chen.
If he had known Bai Chen was going to suppress his brother in the South Bright Undying Volcano, he would have preferred to have self-destructed back then.
Even if Bai Chen had the Mountain River Society Chart back then, even if my self-destruction couldn't harm Bai Chen, it would still be better than being suppressed here!
Upon hearing Eastern Emperor Taiyi's accusation that he had broken his promise, Bai Chen immediately began to argue with him:
"Eastern Emperor Taiyi, I have fulfilled all my promises to you. I did not kill you brothers, but merely placed you under house arrest."
"You brothers are originally Golden Crows of the three races, born with the Law of Fire. This South Bright Undying Volcano has plenty of Southern Ming Undying Fire for you to continue cultivating the Law of Fire and rise again."
I, Great God Bai Chen, am a man of my word, and I always keep my promises. This damned bird can't afford to tarnish my reputation.
"Bai Chen, you're making it sound so nice, but you clearly want my brother to go to jail for Yuanfeng, and you want us to suffer a fate worse than death."
Di Jun directly exposed Bai Chen's true colors, and then made a harsh statement:
"Bai Chen, once we brothers escape this predicament, we will make you wish you were dead and suppress you under the South Bright Undying Volcano."
Because Di Jun knew that Bai Chen needed his two brothers to go to jail in place of Yuanfeng, he wouldn't kill them, and therefore he didn't have many concerns.
"I believe in you guys, keep up the good work!"
Bai Chen didn't take Di Jun's harsh words to heart at all.
As for myself, Great God Bai Chen, I'll say it again: if the Di Jun brothers can make a comeback under this South Bright Undying Volcano, I'll only give them a thumbs up.
Yuanfeng has been suppressed for so many eons and has not been able to make a comeback, yet these brothers still want to make a comeback? Hahaha!
As Bai Chen threw Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi into the Earth's core, the Talisman Lock that had been binding Yuanfeng began to loosen, instead binding and imprisoning the Di Jun brothers.
As the Talisman Lock on Yuanfeng's body completely disappeared, Yuanfeng let out a long cry and finally regained her freedom.
After regaining her freedom, Yuanfeng picked Bai Chen up and lifted her high in the air.
Yuanfeng watched as Bai Chen struggled with his short legs before putting him down and thanking him.
"Little White, thank you!"
After Fellow Daoist Bai Chen, Yuanfeng then bowed and thanked Houtu Nuwa.
"Yuanfeng, thank you, Empress Nuwa and Empress Houtu!"
Seeing Yuanfeng thanking Nuwa and Houtu, Bai Chen said irritably:
"Yuanfeng, why are you thanking them? They have no intention of releasing you!"
"It was clearly this great god who released you, you should just thank this great god!"
Great God Bai Chen, is clearly Yuanfeng's only benefactor. Why should Houtu and Nuwa claim any favors?
"Oops!"
As soon as Bai Chen finished speaking, Nuwa suddenly appeared behind it, swung her hand on its head, and made it cry out in pain.
"Nuwa, how dare you ambush this great goddess! Take this!"
Seeing Nuwa launch a sneak attack on him, Bai Chen immediately retaliated with a punch.
Nuwa used her hand to freeze Bai Chen in place, then picked him up and held him in her hand.
Yuanfeng was terrified when she saw Bai Chen dare to attack Nuwa, and quickly tried to dissuade him:
"Little White, Empress Nuwa is a saint, you should respect saints!"
After being suppressed for so many years, Yuanfeng's former pride has been almost completely worn away.
Nuwa shook the Bai Chen in her hand and shouted:
"Bad Cat, did you hear what Yuanfeng said?!"
Nuwa thought Bai Chen was very mischievous, always disrespectful and not knowing who the real king or queen was.
Suddenly, Bai Chen remembered that there was something he hadn't done yet.
That is, although Yuanfeng has regained her freedom, the Great Karmic Debt on the other party has not yet been resolved.
If Yuanfeng Yuanfeng's karmic burdens are not cleansed, even if she regains her freedom, she might one day be consumed by those karmic forces and perish.
"Merit and Fortune, manifest them!"
Bai Chen manifested his own Merit and Fortune, and his boundless Merit and Fortune transformed into a golden rain of merits to cleanse Yuanfeng of the Great Karmic Debt on his body.
If Bai Chen's Merit and Fortune are boundless, then Yuanfeng, who conquered the Primordial World and enslaved all kinds of Flying Birds, is boundless karmic force.
In order to cleanse Yuanfeng of her karma, Bai Chen used up 50% of his own Merit and Fortune.
Bai Chen's Merit and Fortune were acquired by associating with so many major events in the Primordial World. Now, in order to cleanse Yuanfeng of the karmic burdens on her body, he actually used 50% of them, which shows how much karmic burdens Yuanfeng carries.
"Thank you so much Little White!"
Freed from the corrosive influence of karma, Yuanfeng felt instantly light and quickly Fellow Daoist Bai Chen in Nuwa's hands.
Before Bai Chen could speak, Nuwa spoke up:
"Yuanfeng, you saved Little White and protected Little White in your early years."
Today, Little White rescued you from your predicament and used his Merit and Fortune to help you wash away your karmic debts, which can be considered as repaying your kindness!
Nuwa's words were a subtle hint to Yuanfeng, especially since the matter was now settled and the grudges were resolved, that she should stop bothering her "Bad Cat" in the future.
After Nuwa spoke, Houtu nearby, also spoke up, saying:
"Yuanfeng, Little White went to great lengths to save you and regain your freedom today."
In order to wash away the Great Karmic Debt Merit and Fortune caused by your Primordial World, even fifty percent of your merit and fortune were used.
You must cultivate yourself diligently and cherish this hard-won freedom you have now."
Houtu didn't have a good impression of Yuanfeng because the other party had entrusted the cat to her in the first place. That's why she told Yuanfeng to find a place to cultivate properly and not to come out and play with Bai Chen unless necessary!
"Empress Nuwa, Empress Houtu, Yuanfeng understands!"
Yuanfeng bowed to Nuwa and Houtu, thanking them for their guidance.
I hope you really understand!
Nuwa and Houtu said in unison, hoping that Yuanfeng would be more sensible.
Otherwise, even though the other party has regained their freedom today, if they make a mistake the next day, we can still lock them up again.
Bai Chen then noticed a very serious problem and asked Nuwa and Houtu:
"Houtu, Nuwa, Yuanfeng's cultivation level is incorrect!"
Before she was suppressed, she was already at the Half-step Dao Proving, so how come her current cultivation level is only about the same as the late Quasi-Saint stage?
Bai Chen felt that Yuanfeng's current cultivation level was so high that even he couldn't defeat her; she was only at the mid-level of Innate Great God.
This is an epic nerf for Yuanfeng, who was once on the Half-step Dao Proving!
"Yuanfeng has a history of vying for Primordial World world."
"Through the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man, I won't feel at ease unless I reduce her cultivation level even slightly!"
Nuwa and Houtu each explained the situation, and to put it bluntly, even though Yuanfeng's cultivation had been weakened to an epic degree, Nuwa and Houtu were still a little worried about Yuanfeng.
"Prejudice in people's hearts is like a mountain!"
After understanding the reason, Bai Chen made a sarcastic remark.
Nuwa, seeing Bai Chen putting on airs, directly retorted with Bai Chen's own words:
"Bad Cat, your prejudice against my brother is like a mountain!"
Nuwa felt that if Bai Chen hadn't held such a deep grudge against her brother Fuxi, perhaps her brother wouldn't have suffered such a tragic fate.
Everything was settled. Houtu broke through the void and returned to the Underworld, while Nuwa took Bai Chen and Yuanfeng back to the Wa Saint Palace.
Inside the main hall of the Wa Saint Palace, Nuwa sat high atop the twenty-fourth-grade Cycle Purple Jade Lotus Platform, looking down at the Yuanfeng below, and said:
"Yuanfeng, you will cultivate at Phoenix Perch Mountain from now on!"
Because of what you did before, avoid traveling in the Primordial World for a while to prevent any negative consequences.
