Great Powers Wail: Why Are the Treasures Again on Buzhou Mountain?

Seeing Nuwa's expression, Tongtian breathed a sigh of relief. This matter was settled.

"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, the Sanxiao will follow you from now on. After the child in your womb is born, they can return to Kunlun Mountain."

"This..."

Nuwa's heart leaped with joy upon hearing this. She wanted to agree. For years, she had been quite bored on Mount Buzhou. Having these three lovely girls by her side would be a wonderful thing.

But these were Tongtian's disciples. It wouldn't be right to snatch them away. Moreover, she wasn't skilled at teaching disciples, and keeping them would only delay the Sanxiao. She began to hesitate.

Shen Hongfei sensed Nuwa's hesitation and couldn't help but get anxious. He spoke up, "Mother, the three elder sisters are so beautiful. I really like them. Can they stay and play with me?"

Hearing her baby's words, Nuwa bit her lip and made up her mind. She cupped her hands towards Tongtian and said, "Then thank you, Fellow Daoist Tongtian."

"Hahaha."

"You're welcome, Fellow Daoist Nuwa."

With this matter settled and the treasures having found their owners, the Sanqing felt the urge to leave. After a few more words of advice to the Sanxiao, they prepared to depart.

Just then, a faint, fresh fragrance wafted through the air, invigorating everyone present. Streaks of blue light radiated from a spot on Mount Buzhou. Purple mist ascended, immortal cranes flew in unison, and golden clouds filled the sky. It was clear that a spiritual treasure was about to be born.

The Sanqing felt a strong premonition that the treasure about to emerge would be of great use to them.

"Why is it on Mount Buzhou again!"

The Sanqing cried out in their hearts. If this were anywhere else, they would have been ecstatic and rushed to claim the treasure. But this was Mount Buzhou, and that brat was right here. It was likely that it would be taken away again.

Seeing this, Shen Hongfei was also delighted. If he wasn't mistaken, the treasure about to emerge was the Twelve-grade Fortune Green Lotus. There was also a spiritual pool filled with Three-Light Divine Water. That was one of the essential treasures for Nuwa to create humans.

Shen Hongfei also recalled that in his previous life, when the Sanqing encountered the Twelve-grade Fortune Green Lotus and prepared to pluck it, it suddenly split into three, transforming into three treasures: Laozi's carrying pole, Primordial Heavenly Lord's Three-Precious Ruyi, and Tongtian Cult Master's Qingping Sword. A poem also echoed in the air: "Red flowers, white roots, green lotus leaves, the Sanqing were originally one family."

Shen Hongfei had wanted to complain about this legend back then. The Sanqing hadn't split up yet, nor did they intend to. It was because of this incident that the Sanqing believed it was destiny's will. After returning, they separated, and their relationship grew distant, leading to the scene later where the four saints of Investiture of the Gods jointly attacked Tongtian.

He secretly speculated that someone must have been behind this, intending to divide the Sanqing. In the Great Desolation, only Hongjun could scheme against the Sanqing without being discovered. He cursed inwardly, "This old scoundrel is truly wicked!"

In this life, the Sanqing had treated him well. He couldn't let history repeat itself. He glanced stealthily at the Sanqing and thought to himself, "I can only apologize to you. I have to snatch your things again, but this is for your own good."

"Uncles, why have you stopped again?"

Shen Hongfei finished his thoughts and continued to act cute, asking the Sanqing in an incredibly innocent voice.

Before the Sanqing could reply, Shen Hongfei deliberately drew out his words, as if suddenly realizing something. "Ah~ I know! You guys want to snatch my family's things too!"

"Waaah!"

"Uncle Fuxi, hurry back! Someone is trying to snatch our family's things again."

"Dao Ancestor Hongjun, open your eyes and see! Someone is bullying children and women."

The sight of Shen Hongfei pulling this stunt again made the Sanqing's heads hurt. They felt like dragging this brat out and giving him a good thrashing, but that was clearly impossible. They could only wait until this brat was born.

Primordial Heavenly Lord glanced at the anomaly, gritted his teeth, and decided he didn't want the treasure anymore, considering it a bestowed protective treasure for his disciple. With this thought, he spoke, "Child, don't cry. No one will snatch your things."

Upon hearing this, Laozi's mouth twitched. It wasn't that he didn't want to give it. He was actually very pleased with Shen Hongfei and wanted to take him as a disciple. However, Primordial Heavenly Lord had expressed his intention to take him as a disciple first, so he couldn't openly snatch him.

He had originally planned to contact him secretly. If he could persuade the child to willingly become his disciple, Primordial Heavenly Lord wouldn't have much to say. But now, he and Tongtian had given up considerable benefits, allowing Primordial Heavenly Lord to play the good guy in front of this child, while he himself received no actual benefit. Thinking of this, he felt a pang of frustration.

"Really?"

"You guys really aren't going to snatch my family's things?"

Shen Hongfei's innocent voice continued to ring out, filled with suspicion.

"It's true. How could your master lie to you!"

Primordial Heavenly Lord declared with certainty.

"Haha, you guys are so nice! I like you."

"Mother, let's go quickly. If we're late, someone else might snatch our family's things."

Seeing this, Shen Hongfei hurriedly urged Nuwa. Nuwa couldn't help but laugh and cry, giving the Sanqing an apologetic look. Then, she led the Sanxiao towards the gathering point of spiritual energy.

The Sanqing looked at each other at the original spot, sighed lightly, and transformed into three beams of light, following them. It wasn't that they had gone back on their word, but they were unwilling to leave without seeing the spiritual treasure with their own eyes.

Soon, Nuwa led the Sanxiao to a small valley. The spiritual energy here was dense, with immortal cranes dancing gracefully in the air. A pool shimmered with a hazy, precious light, and a green lotus emitting a green glow stood in the center of the pool.

Every detail was clear, and the fragrance wafted through the air.

"Twelve-grade Fortune Green Lotus!"

It was the Sanqing, who had caught up from behind. Seeing this, they couldn't help but exclaim. As beings transformed from Pangu's primordial spirit, they knew some secrets from their inherited memories. This item was formed from a lotus seed of the Chaos Green Lotus and contained supreme mysteries.

At this moment, the Sanqing regretted it deeply. The aura emanating from the Twelve-grade Fortune Green Lotus was likely a Primordial Supreme Treasure, comparable to the Three Treasures of Creation. And they had just given it away so easily!

If they had known it was this spiritual treasure, they wouldn't have made such a promise so readily. But now that they had agreed, they could only swallow their pride. They decided that next time, they would absolutely not be led astray by that brat so easily!

"Hee hee..."

Shen Hongfei chuckled softly and then said to Nuwa, "Mother, let's take this whole pool with us. We can place it on Fengqi Mountain so you can use it for bathing."

"And this lotus, let's pick its petals and put them in the pool. After bathing, you'll smell fragrant."

Hearing this, the Sanqing couldn't help but curse inwardly. The water in this pool was Three-Light Divine Water, possessing supreme power of creation. Using it for bathing was an extreme waste, let alone breaking off the petals of a Primordial Supreme Treasure for bathing. Could you even break such a thing?

Nuwa's face turned red, and she complained inwardly, "Why does this child say everything out loud?"

The Sanxiao Fairies, however, had different little thoughts. They wondered if it would truly be a wonderful thing if they could use it for bathing.

Nuwa, unable to bear the baby's urging any longer, went to the edge of the pool. With a wave of her hand, she sent out a mystical light that enveloped the entire pool, lifting it up. A large pit instantly appeared in its place.

Seeing this, the Sanqing thought that with this child around, the Great Desolation would no longer be peaceful, as it would be filled with one gaping pit after another.

With that matter settled, the Sanqing felt it was time to leave. They still had much to contemplate from their recent sermon at Zixiao Palace and intended to return to further their understanding.

"Sanxiao, you must serve well. If Fellow Daoist Nuwa encounters any danger, immediately crush the jade slip I gave you."

Tongtian instructed, looking at the Sanxiao fairies not far away.

"Your disciples understand!"

The Sanxiao fairies bowed in unison, acknowledging his words.

Tongtian nodded slightly, exchanged glances with Yuanshi and Laozi, and then together they cupped their hands towards Nuwa, saying, "Since that is the case, we shall take our leave. We shall meet again!"

Nuwa quickly returned the courtesy, "Nuwa thanks the three fellow Daoists again. We shall meet again."

"Mm."

The Sanqing nodded slightly, and colorful auspicious clouds rose from beneath their feet, carrying the three men into the air. They left the valley, a multicolored rainbow stretching across the sky as they headed towards Kunlun Mountain.

"Baby, let's go," Shen Hongfei said to Nuwa after watching the Sanqing depart.

"Mm."

Nuwa looked up at the water pool above her head. Unable to take the treasure with her, she could only ride her auspicious cloud, dragging the pool towards Fengqi Mountain. From a distance, it looked like a floating island drifting through the air.

Upon returning to Fengqi Mountain, Nuwa found an open space. She used her magic to create a large pit and placed the water pool inside. At the same time, she planted the gourd spiritual root by the edge of the pool. Afterward, she took the Sanxiao fairies back to her cave dwelling.

"Sanxiao, you may each create your own cave dwelling here on Fengqi Mountain. You will not be required to toil daily; focus on your cultivation," Nuwa instructed, seated at the head of the cave dwelling.

"If you have any questions regarding your cultivation, you may come and ask me."

"Sanxiao thanks Senior."

Shen Hongfei felt uncomfortable hearing "Senior" and couldn't help but speak up, "From now on, just call Mother 'Niangniang'."

The Sanxiao fairies nodded in agreement upon hearing Shen Hongfei's words. They then left Nuwa's cave dwelling, preparing to find a place to settle down.

"Baby, you took all these treasures this time and didn't give any to the Sanqing and other great powers. What if you offend them?"
