A purple pool actually yielded gold!
He rushed forward to check the reward details.
[Congratulations to the Host for drawing a golden reward and obtaining the Heaven Devouring Demonic Art!]
Surprise surged through his heart!
It was the Heaven Devouring Demonic Art!
For Su Yang, if he wanted to become strong quickly, this was undoubtedly the most suitable cultivation technique!
This technique was created specifically to compensate for physical constitution. Not only could it devour all energy in the world to improve oneself, but it could also seize others' constitutions to strengthen one's own!
In the original work, the Ruthless Great Emperor relied on this technique to devour and evolve step by step, eventually becoming a Chaos Body and invincible in the world!
Now that Su Yang had obtained the Heaven Devouring Demonic Art, he was extremely excited!
In this life, he had not yet begun cultivating and knew nothing about his own physical constitution.
But in his opinion, he was just a mortal from humble beginnings, and even with high talent, it would be limited.
But now, with the Heaven Devouring Demonic Art, everything was different! He could continuously change and strengthen his physical constitution!
In this Primordial World, talent and physical constitution were determined from birth and could never be changed.
Precisely because of this, countless powerful beings placed great importance on one's foundation!
Foundation determined the future!
Among the Three Pure Ones, Primordial Lord of Heaven valued origin the most, and he wouldn't even spare a second glance at those with poor aptitude!
It could be said that in the Primordial World, foundation determined everything!
And this so-called foundation, to put it simply, was not it just talent and physical constitution?
Excluding those ancient powerful beings who were born with innate divine abilities, most beings in the world had very ordinary origins.
Especially in the Earthly Immortal Realm, where one could not truly step into the immortal path, a cultivation system for mortals had emerged instead!
Refining Essence into Qi, Refining Qi into Spirit, Refining Spirit into Void, Refining Void into Dao!
These four realms formed the fundamental path of cultivation in the Earthly Immortal Realm.
Whether it was the Human Race or the Demon Clan, they all followed this path.
Now, Su Yang had obtained the "Heaven Devouring Demonic Art," his aptitude could be gradually improved, and his cultivation speed would be as fast as a gale, soaring all the way!
He was extremely excited and, without hesitation, memorized the entire content of the Heaven Devouring Demonic Art into his mind.
After completely mastering this cultivation technique, he immediately sat cross-legged and began to try cultivating.
At this time, within the Wa Huang Palace, outside the chaos.
After Nuwa returned to her palace, she was arguing with Caiyun Boy about something.
"Your Highness, that 'Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin' must be fake. Storms rage in the chaos, and the airflow is violent. Even Grand Unity Golden Immortals dare not linger for long; only Quasi-Sages or even Sages can move freely within it."
"Such a thing is simply impossible. Why would Your Highness bother thinking about it?"
But Nuwa gently shook her head and slowly said, "'Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin' may not necessarily be a false statement. If it were truly fabricated, that storyteller named Su Yang would not be able to bear such karma."
Hearing her say this, Caiyun Boy was also speechless.
Initially, he just wanted to accompany Nuwa to watch the fun and listen to a story to pass the time.
Who knew she would take it to heart and become deeply interested in the authenticity of the "Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin" and the Ancient Starry Road, even neglecting her cultivation.
This gave Caiyun a headache.
At this moment, Nuwa seemed to recall something, her fingertips moved, and she began to perform divination.
A moment later, she narrowed her eyes slightly, revealing a hint of surprise.
"Earthly Immortal Realm, and I can't find this person?"
She was slightly taken aback.
She was a Sage!
Holding the position of Hunyuan Grand Unity Golden Immortal!
Besides the five great beings at her level, and the Dao Ancestor who had long ago merged with the Dao, no one else in the world should be able to escape her calculations!
However, she could not even pinpoint Su Yang's location now, and his origin was shrouded in mist, completely untraceable!
"Interesting."
A trace of interest appeared in Nuwa's eyes. "I not only want to know the location of the 'Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin' and the Ancient Starry Road, but even more so, I want to know this person's identity."
To be able to hide his tracks under her nose, that storyteller from Qingshan City was probably far from as simple as he appeared.
She just didn't know who he truly was, and why he knew those little-known secrets?
A sense of anticipation arose in Nuwa's heart as she considered that she must set off in advance the next time Su Yang held his storytelling session, so as not to miss any excitement.
She took a gentle breath, recalling Su Yang's methods when he narrated. He could make people feel as if they were there, and even she, a being of her status, was unconsciously drawn into it while listening to the story!
"Your Highness, those are just made-up stories."
Caiyun Boy tried to persuade her helplessly, but Nuwa didn't respond. She simply instructed softly, "When Su Yang lectures again, don't forget to call me."
"Where are you going, Senior Sister?"
As they were speaking, a voice echoed from the depths of the chaos and entered Wa Huang Palace.
Nuwa's eyebrows twitched slightly as she looked at the newcomer in the chaos, thinking to herself, Why did he suddenly appear?
Despite her thoughts, she didn't dwell on it. She slowly walked out of Wa Huang Palace to greet the newcomer, her tone calm, "Senior Brother, why have you come to my Wa Huang Palace today?"
"Naturally, I have an important matter I wish to discuss with Junior Sister."
The other party replied with a smile, stroking his white beard with a composed expression.
"Then please come into the palace so we can discuss it in detail." Nuwa gestured, leading him into the palace.
Inside the palace, Caiyun Boy and a young maid saw the visitor and quickly bowed, "Greetings, Master Yuanshi."
The visitor was none other than one of the Three Pure Ones, the master of the Chan Sect—Primordial Lord of Heaven.
"Bring the Dao Comprehension Tea I left here earlier."
Nuwa instructed Caiyun Boy.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Caiyun nodded and immediately turned to go prepare the tea.
Nuwa turned back to face Primordial Lord of Heaven and asked, "Senior Brother, what is the reason for your visit today?"
Primordial Lord of Heaven chuckled lightly and, with a wave of his hand, a light projection appeared in the air.
Nuwa's gaze swept over it, and her expression immediately changed slightly, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes.
The light screen was showing the scene of her and Caiyun Boy listening to a storyteller at an inn.
"Senior Brother, what are you trying to say?"
Her tone turned cold as she stared calmly at Primordial Lord of Heaven, awaiting his response.
In the Primordial World, who else besides a Sage had the ability to record the movements of a Sage?
Now, Primordial Lord of Heaven was displaying her image before her, clearly having come prepared.
"Junior Sister, after the Investiture of the Gods Calamity, Teacher issued a decree that Sages should not arbitrarily set foot in the Earthly Immortal Realm, nor should they enter the Primordial World at will."
Primordial Lord of Heaven spoke with a hint of sarcasm, "Now, you outwardly obey the order, but in secret, you have descended to the Earthly Immortal Realm."
"If this matter reaches Teacher's ears, do you think your future situation will be any better than Tongtian's?"
Upon hearing this, a faint smile touched Nuwa's lips, but a hint of coldness flickered in her eyes.
Her mood was no longer calm.
Nuwa looked at Primordial Lord of Heaven, her tone calm but laced with a touch of mockery, "I thought Senior Brother's visit today was for an important matter, but I didn't expect it was to coerce Junior Sister."
She chuckled lightly, her eyes cold, and continued, "If Senior Brother insists on reporting this to Teacher, then please feel free to do so."
As soon as she said this, Primordial Lord of Heaven's expression changed slightly. He stared at Nuwa and said, "Nuwa, don't be ungrateful."
Nuwa's expression remained unchanged, and she responded indifferently, "So what? Does Senior Brother truly intend to fight me?"
As soon as her words fell, a sharp aura suddenly erupted from within Primordial Lord of Heaven!
This power shook the chaos. Laozi, who was hidden within, immediately opened his eyes, his gaze piercing through layers of chaos and directly towards Wa Huang Palace.
Immediately after, Laozi's figure quietly disappeared and he sped towards Wa Huang Palace.
At the same time, in the Western Heavens beyond the heavens, within Mahayana Buddhism.
Due to the workings of the Heavenly Dao, Buddhism was in a period of prosperity. The two Sages, Jieyin and Zhunti, had not strayed far from the Primordial World.
Sensing the sudden disturbance in Wa Huang Palace, their expressions immediately turned serious.
Zhunti looked at Jieyin and asked in a low voice, "Brother, should we go and investigate?"
Jieyin nodded slightly, his tone firm, "We should indeed go."
Before their words had even finished, their figures had already vanished, heading straight for the scene of the incident.
In the depths of the chaos, within Zixiao Palace.
Hongjun sat cross-legged on a futon, with Sect Master Tongtian meditating opposite him with his eyes closed.
Suddenly, the chaos stirred, and Primordial Lord of Heaven's aura spread out, startling Sect Master Tongtian.
He opened his eyes, looked towards Wa Huang Palace, and whispered, "Teacher..."
Hongjun slowly opened his eyes. His gaze was placid, devoid of any ripples. At this moment, he was the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao, completely integrated with it, without any emotional fluctuations.
Sensing Tongtian's confusion, Hongjun gently closed his eyes and said indifferently, "Do not interfere."
Sect Master Tongtian could only sigh, his gaze passing through the chaos to fall upon the two figures confronting each other in Wa Huang Palace.
He thought silently, Is Brother Yuanshi stirring up trouble again?
In Wa Huang Palace, Nuwa looked at the pressure emanating from Primordial Lord of Heaven, her face growing colder. She spoke, "Senior Brother, this is my residence. What do you intend to do?"
With that, she herself slowly released her Sage's might.
In an instant, the two Sages revealed their auras, and the entire Wa Huang Palace was instantly thrown into turmoil!
The chaotic energy surged ceaselessly, a storm was about to form!
With such power, even a Grand Unity Golden Immortal would have to retreat three leagues.
Yet, the two Sages stood firm, their auras clashing, neither giving way.
As Sages, neither was inferior to the other.
Primordial Lord of Heaven's expression sank as he inwardly marveled, "Nuwa, since when did you dare to be so defiant?"
Inciting conflict between Sages?
Primordial Lord of Heaven certainly had no such intention.
To him, if a battle between Sages were truly triggered at this moment, the consequences would be extremely severe.
He might even be found an excuse by Old Ancestor Hongjun to be confined in Zixiao Palace along with others, losing his freedom.
Seeing the surge of aura within Nuwa, Primordial Lord of Heaven's expression shifted slightly, but he immediately retracted his pressure.
Seeing Primordial Lord of Heaven withdraw his aura, Nuwa spoke, "If Senior Brother has nothing else, please return."
"Caiyun, put down the Dao Comprehension Tea and see our guest out. Senior Brother is not accustomed to such a beverage."
With that, she turned to return to Wa Huang Palace.
However, at this very moment, three more figures appeared in the chaos, their auras distinct, drawing Nuwa's attention.
Her brow furrowed, and she thought to herself, "Could these people have nothing better to do than come here to interfere?"
"Brother Primordial, long time no see."
The two Sages, Zhunti and Jieyin, bowed to Primordial Lord of Heaven, their tones peaceful.
"My two fellow Daoists, I trust you are well."
Primordial Lord of Heaven returned the greeting.
"Primordial, what business do you have at Wa Huang Palace?"
Grand Pure Laozi looked at Primordial Lord of Heaven and asked with a hint of doubt.
Primordial Lord of Heaven seemed displeased upon hearing this, but still replied, "Why must Eldest Brother be so aggressive? My Junior Sister and I were merely discussing some matters and could not reach an agreement."
