Gourd Vine Bestows Nuwa

The many gods and demons knew from Ye Jun's smile that nothing good would come of it. The opportunities on this Gourd Vine were likely gone.

Before Ye Jun could say anything, the many gods and demons immediately slinked away.

Their speed was so great that even an expert in speed like Kunpeng would have to admit they were professionals.

Ye Jun was unsure whether to laugh or cry, wondering when he had become so terrifying.

In the end, only Ye Jun, Fuxi, and Nuwa remained on Buzhou Mountain.

Ye Jun stepped forward alone and plucked all seven gourds from the Gourd Vine.

After picking the gourds, he didn't hesitate to uproot the Gourd Vine and stash it away.

Then, seeing the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil beneath the Gourd Vine, he showed no mercy. This was truly good stuff.

As an Innate Spiritual Root, the Gourd Vine could be given to Nuwa later to strengthen their bond.

As for the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil, if Ye Jun remembered correctly, it would play a significant role when Nuwa created humans.

Now that the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil was in Ye Jun's hands, he wouldn't be able to stand idly by when Nuwa created humans in the future.

Not to mention, Nuwa's creation of humans was a great deed, and she would rely on this merit to Attain Dao and Become a Saint.

Therefore, accepting the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil now would also benefit Ye Jun in the future.

After storing all the gourds, Ye Jun took out the Gourd Vine and handed it to Nuwa.

This immediately filled Nuwa with surprise and joy.

"Daoist Friend Ye Jun, this..." Nuwa didn't know what to say for a moment.

She and Fuxi had already given up on competing for the Gourd Vine; otherwise, Ye Jun probably wouldn't have spared them either.

"This Gourd Vine is of great use to Daoist Friend Nuwa, so I shall give it to you," Ye Jun said generously, waving his hand.

This sudden stroke of luck delighted both Nuwa and Fuxi.

"Thank you so much, Daoist Friend Ye Jun!" both Nuwa and Fuxi said, cupping their hands.

This Gourd Vine was an Innate Spiritual Root, and he just gave it to them!

"It's nothing," Ye Jun waved dismissively.

"Daoist Friend Ye Jun, Buzhou Mountain is very close to my sibling's dojo. Since you've gifted us treasure, why not give us the opportunity to host you as your hosts?" Fuxi said, cupping his hands.

Fuxi and Nuwa's dojo?

It would be a shame not to go.

"In that case, I shall trouble you both," Ye Jun said with a smile.

"Hahaha, Daoist Friend Ye Jun is too polite. Please!" Fuxi gestured with his finger.

"Please, Daoist Friend!" Ye Jun replied.

In a short while, the three arrived at Fuxi and Nuwa's dojo.

After entering the cave dwelling, they each took a seat.

"Your cave dwelling is truly a Blessed Land. The Spiritual Energy here is incredibly abundant," Ye Jun said enviously.

He was originally a Monkey from the Enlightenment Dao Tree on Kunlun Mountain. Kunlun Mountain was currently the dojo of the Pangu Orthodox, the Three Pure Ones.

It would be difficult for him to go there again.

I should find a place to establish my own dojo later, Ye Jun thought to himself.

"You jest, Daoist Friend. In the current Primordial World, Dao Ancestor Hongjun is the head Saint, and below him are Quasi-Saints like yourself. Where in the Primordial World can you not go freely?" Fuxi laughed heartily.

Ye Jun smiled at Fuxi's praise and then said, "Daoist Friend, you must have brought me here today for more than just a simple visit."

"You see clearly, Daoist Friend. To be honest, I do have some selfish motives. As the first Quasi-Saint, I hope you can offer some guidance," Fuxi said, standing up and cupping his hands.

Ye Jun nodded, understanding. Breaking through to Quasi-Saint was extremely important for every cultivator in the Primordial World.

He was not surprised by Fuxi's question.

"Guidance is too strong a word. I've heard that you both excel at Music. Perhaps we can discuss it," Ye Jun said slowly.

Fuxi and Nuwa exchanged glances. The Way of Music? Did Daoist Friend Ye Jun also dabble in Music?

"Very well. In that case, Daoist Friend Ye Jun, please listen!" Fuxi said.

He then gestured with one hand, and a Long Zither in the cave dwelling appeared in Fuxi's hand.

Without further ado, Fuxi's hands moved rapidly, and faint zither music drifted out. Ye Jun closed his eyes, appreciating the melody.

Just as an incense stick's worth of time had passed, Ye Jun slowly opened his eyes.

"Daoist Friend, how was it?" Fuxi asked, withdrawing his hands.

Ye Jun pondered for a moment and then said, "Forgive my bluntness, but while the music was exquisite, it seemed to be missing something."

Missing something?

Fuxi was bewildered. The Way of Music was what he focused on most in his spare time during his Cultivation.

Over tens of thousands of years, his Way of Music had gradually reached great accomplishment, and now Ye Jun claimed it was missing something.

"Daoist Friend, what do you mean? Speak freely," Fuxi said.

Ye Jun smiled and said, "You two Daoist Friends have already reached profound heights in the Way of Music. However, this Way of Music still has the five tones: Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, and Yu."

Fuxi looked thoughtful. He had never heard of these five tones before, and Nuwa was also completely unaware.

"It's normal that you two Daoist Friends don't know. The Great Dao of Music inherently has flaws," Ye Jun said with a slight smile.

"It seems my sister and I are a bit ignorant. Daoist Friend, please continue," Fuxi said, taking a deep breath.

Ye Jun then continued, "Although there are five tones, during performance, a slight change can create two more, Bian Zheng and Bian Gong. This way, there are seven categories."

Watching Fuxi and Nuwa listen with bewildered expressions, Ye Jun didn't rush. He poured out everything he knew about the Way of Music from his mind.

"The Way of Music is as vast as the sea of stars, with countless variations..."

By the end, Fuxi and Nuwa were both filled with surprise and sudden realization.

"So that's how it is. I understand a little now. Daoist Friend truly knows a great deal," Fuxi said, cupping his hands.

After this event, Fuxi was completely convinced by Ye Jun. This Monkey was simply too astonishing.

His strength was astonishing, his comprehension was astonishing, his fortune was astonishing, and now even his knowledge was so extensive.

Just then, a flash of golden light broke through the Nine Heavens, and a massive golden cloud flew towards Fuxi's cave dwelling.

In a moment, it arrived above Ye Jun's head. The Golden Light of Merit poured down on Ye Jun like flowing water.

Ye Jun smiled at this. The Way of Music had flaws, and he had now completed it. It was only right to receive such a reward of merit.

Fuxi and Nuwa both looked at Ye Jun with envy. It was truly a case of 'comparing goods makes one discard them, comparing people makes one want to die.'

The difference was simply too great!

Ye Jun reveled alone in the Golden Light of Merit, feeling incredibly comfortable.
