Nuwa Obtains the River and Mountain Diagram and Thirty-Six Sea-Calming Divine Beads as the Dragon-Han Calamity Erupts Completely
Under dark clouds that covered the sky in all directions, vicious and baleful energy filled the entire firmament. Once the Primordial World's killing calamity began, all heavenly secrets were concealed, making deduction impossible. This allowed a group of people to leave brazenly and grandly in search of treasures.
"Search and search... Find a good treasure friend, beat him to death, seize the treasure, and then you'll have some, I'll have some, and he'll have some too..."
Chen Xuan hummed a little tune as he soon stopped before a mountain peak.
"Are there really treasures ahead?"
Houtu was quite skeptical. Ahead lay a stretch of mountains with strange shapes and overlapping peaks. There were also countless exotic flowers and herbs, as well as splendid mountains and rivers that seemed completely out of place with the outside world.
A Treasure Seeking Rat led the way. With its chubby body, one roll sent it beyond the horizon, and its eyes instantly lit up...
"Great God Houtu... There's no mistaking it this time. I've smelled the aura of a treasure. It seems very powerful, but I don't know what kind of treasure it is."
"Last time I went to the battlefield of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans, I also sensed that this area was somewhat unusual. It must contain a decent immortal treasure. Hahaha..."
The Treasure Seeking Rat was very pleased with itself as it led everyone onward, constantly weaving across mountain peaks and valleys at great speed.
No one knew how long they had walked before the Treasure Seeking Rat suddenly slowed down. It sniffed again, its face full of confusion. The target was right ahead, yet it still could not locate it, leaving it utterly perplexed.
"Something's wrong... We're trapped in a Ghost Wall..." Chen Xuan suddenly said.
Smack... Great God Nuwa struck Chen Xuan on the head with a hammer, clearly doubting his intelligence. She said, "A Ghost Wall in the Primordial World? Is there something wrong with your brain? We're simply lost in this region and have been going around in circles. Even a Grand Unity Golden Immortal can't detect it. Terrifying..."
"What? We're going in circles?" Houtu was also greatly startled. The Wu Clan had no primordial spirits and could not see through many formations.
"This place has formed its own mountains, rivers, and world. If my guess is correct, we must have entered a mysterious place. Our top priority is to join forces and break it open." Fuxi did not waste words and directly summoned the Fuxi Qin. With a single tremor, heaven and earth shook, and the mountains and rivers trembled. The power of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal shattered the world in an instant.
"And us..." Great God Nuwa and Houtu naturally joined in. They attacked together, their terrifying power blazing without equal. Strike after strike threw yin and yang into chaos, shattered the void, and collapsed the mountains and rivers.
Under such overwhelming destructive power, the shattered universe was left in complete disarray. Yet it gradually recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving everyone standing there grimly, unable to break through it.
"We're going to be trapped..." Ancestral Witch Houtu sighed. It would be difficult to break out for the time being, and they might remain trapped for a long time.
"No... The space here is very special. We seem to have entered some kind of object and become lost inside it." Fuxi shook his head. After sensing the surrounding heaven and earth, he found the laws extraordinarily mysterious.
"I feel the same. Somehow, I entered a mysterious space without realizing it. I don't know why, but my Dao of Creation suddenly began operating. It seems to feel a certain affinity with this space." Nuwa was deeply astonished.
"Great God Nuwa... Try using your Dao of Creation to refine this world and see what happens. Treasures of the Primordial World depend on fate." Chen Xuan had formed a conjecture.
"Fine..."
Nuwa did not waste words. She raised one hand and summoned the Power of Creation, holding yin and yang in her grasp as they generated endlessly. Across billions of miles of universe and boundless mountains and rivers, the marvelous power changed heaven and earth.
In an instant, the stars shifted and moved, and a river of stars hung across the nine heavens. In the next moment, the green mountains and clear waters spanning countless universes cycled through the seasons, yin and yang exchanged places, and everything became wondrous beyond belief. The Gate of All Wonders was like the Dao of the Mysterious Female, the root of all things.
"She's refining this stretch of mountains and rivers? Heaven and earth are resonating together. How is that possible?" Fuxi was aghast. His own younger sister had been with him for countless years, yet this was the first time a heaven-defying creation had come knocking at her door.
"Heaven and earth are changing. I've lost control over all the power of earth. Sister Nuwa has found a treasure..." Houtu was within it and could clearly sense that the earth was no longer under her control.
Whoosh...
A magnificent scroll burst forth, shining with countless divine lights. Creation was hidden within it, and endless Dao charm surged through the air. With a single unfurling, it could change heaven and earth, while the sun and moon were contained within.
"As expected, it's the River and Mountain Diagram... I have to say, when chaos shattered, the Chaos Green Lotus that gave birth to Great God Pangu did not waste a single leaf. Each one transformed into a map of the Primordial World..."
"This is one of Great God Nuwa's stronger Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures. With this treasure in hand, even if a half-sage attacked, Great God Nuwa could protect herself..."
Chen Xuan explained everything. Although he was a weakling, at least he possessed foresight. After he finished speaking, Fuxi and Houtu's eyes lit up. It was far too powerful...
"Not bad... Is this what it means for the Heavenly Dao to feed you? Hahaha..." Great God Nuwa was smug. After all, she would later become Empress Nuwa, one of the Six Saints. How glorious would that be?
"Sister Nuwa... Don't get carried away..." Houtu was depressed. She was an Ancestral Witch, transformed from one of the twelve drops of blood essence after Great God Pangu fell. Why had she not received a primordial spirit?
"Hahaha..." Great God Nuwa did not hide her happiness in the slightest. With a treasure in hand, this scheme had become much more worthwhile...
"Let's go! We'll see what other treasures there are. These things alone aren't enough to participate in the Dragon-Han Calamity. It would be even better if we could find an Innate Merit Supreme Treasure..." Chen Xuan sighed. Treasures of that level were exceedingly rare.
"'The human heart is never satisfied, like a snake trying to swallow an elephant.' That describes you perfectly..." Great God Nuwa shot him a sidelong glance and continued forward.
Everyone once again traversed countless mountains and rivers, searching along the way for the Primordial Measure Heaven Ruler. It was an unparalleled Innate Merit Supreme Treasure of the Primordial World, possessing the might to kill without incurring karmic consequences.
It was said to exist in two places: one was Penglai Immortal Island, and the other was Buzhou Mountain. A third possibility was that it had been obtained by Hongjun. Clearly, it was not here...
"..."
"There's the aura of a treasure..."
The Treasure Seeking Rat quickly caught the scent. Its eyes shone as it darted away like lightning, but a powerful force suddenly surged over.
Boom...
The powerful force shook the eight directions and sent Duobao flying a thousand meters away. His face was filled with shock. They had encountered another treasure, one protected by an Innate Grand Formation.
"Hahaha... Everyone, attack together! It must be some good treasure." Chen Xuan shouted as he rubbed his palms, wishing he could jump straight inside.
"Let me handle it..." Great God Nuwa was brimming with confidence. With one hand, she summoned the River and Mountain Diagram. Although it was a Top-grade Innate Supreme Treasure capable of trapping people, its might was extraordinary, and it directly shattered the Innate Grand Formation.
"And my punch..." Houtu swung her fist down, causing an explosion on the spot.
Whoosh...
A supreme divine light burst into the world, gradually spreading through the void as countless strange phenomena intertwined. A shocking scene emerged as the divine light split into thirty-six strands, each one seemingly evolving into a universe.
This wasn't the Chaos Bead...
"They're the Thirty-Six Sea-Calming Divine Beads..." Chen Xuan's breathing quickened, and he could not conceal his excitement.
During the Investiture of the Gods Calamity, there had been only twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Beads, obtained by Zhao Gongming. He had displayed astonishing power with them and was virtually invincible. Later, Daoist Randeng obtained them, joined the Western Teachings to attain enlightenment, and became Ancient Buddha Randeng, thereby evolving the Twenty-Four Heavens...
The true Sea-Calming Divine Beads actually numbered thirty-six. Each one contained an inner space capable of evolving into a small universe. They were among the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures...
"What? These are the Sea-Calming Divine Beads? There were only twenty-four during the Investiture of the Gods Calamity, but there are thirty-six now. We've struck it rich..." Houtu excitedly clapped her hands.
"Take them! Take them! As expected, the Primordial World is full of opportunities. Treasures are everywhere, and you might even get hit by one when leaving home. I was foolish to have secluded myself for hundreds of millions of years..." Great God Nuwa was utterly speechless.
"Let's go, let's go... We'll travel another hundred million miles. If we find no treasures, we'll return. If we continue farther, we'll be caught up in the calamity." Houtu was also highly excited, but quickly suppressed her enthusiasm.
The group walked onward for another stretch, but their luck was not as good. They found only some ordinary spiritual treasures, such as the Eight Extremes Dragon Spear, Immortal Water, Kirin Rest, and the Water-Repelling Pearl...
The group returned to Buzhou Mountain. In Great God Nuwa's Daoist temple in a small valley, Chen Xuan prepared himself to break through to the Earth Immortal realm. Otherwise, he would be unable to refine even the Thirty-Six Sea-Calming Divine Beads...
Fuxi temporarily refined the Sea-Calming Divine Beads for use and set off for the west with the treasure. The Dragon-Han Calamity had reached its fiercest stage, and it would be impossible to survive without some protection...
"During this calamity, you must be extremely careful. Otherwise, you'll be finished. Who else will I find to plow the fields?" Chen Xuan said in deep resentment.
"Go away... You bastard. You tricked us into going to the future world to plow the fields for you and help cultivate crops. Shameless..." Houtu ground her teeth angrily.
"You're only realizing it now? This fellow has a black heart..." Great God Nuwa shot him a sidelong glance.
"Get lost, get lost..." Chen Xuan was extremely displeased.
"Hahaha..."
The two women laughed loudly as they departed, rushing toward the west. With the protection of the River and Mountain Diagram, they could remain undefeated. The Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans had completely erupted into war.
Daoist Hongjun on White Jade Capital had already severed the Three Corpses. He was only one step away from attaining enlightenment as the First Sage of the Primordial World. Eager for battle, he had been driven mad by the calamity energy and had completely lost himself in slaughter...
Especially under Luohu's control, endless killing aura gathered toward Western Mount Sumeru...
