Tianshan: Conversation with Fuxi, and the Hatred Between the Witches and Demons
Heaven Mountain!
Located at the northernmost part of the West Kunlun Mountains, the Tianshan Heaven Mountain are connected by thousands of peaks. The weather is cold, and the pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth transforms into endless white snow the moment it falls, covering the mountains in a silver-white world!
Amidst the snow-covered mountains, two figures strolled hand in hand.
Upon closer inspection, it was indeed Donghua and West Queen Mother Taizhen!
Since the last Daoist discussion, Donghua has been staying in West Kunlun, firstly to consolidate his cultivation, secondly to heal the West Queen Mother's injuries, and thirdly to accompany the West Queen Mother on a tour of West Kunlun.
At this moment, West Queen Mother Taizhen was wearing a white robe with phoenix patterns, her cloak fluttering in the wind. Her eyes were slightly closed as she felt the movement of the wind from heaven and earth, appearing both like a mortal and like a goddess from the heavens.
"Brother, I've had a wonderful time these past few days. It's an experience I've never had since I was born in human form." A clear and melodious voice echoed through the mountains!
Donghua was dressed in all black. Ever since his naturally white hair turned black, he had taken to wearing black.
It can't be said that he was wearing black clothes; the clothes were still the same, just a different color. You should know that the robe he was wearing was a Houtian Spiritual Treasure.
"We cultivators aspire to the Great Dao, but on this long journey, there are things we cannot easily relinquish. Our teacher's Method of Severing the Three Corpses originates from this," Donghua said softly.
He then knelt down on one knee, picked up the pure white snow from the ground, and kneaded the snow, which was formed from spiritual energy, in his hand like dough, instantly turning it into an ice crystal hairpin.
The West Queen Mother lowered her arms, looked at the person she was toying with, and said with a chuckle, "How come you're just like those born after death, playing these games too, Senior Brother?"
"However, Master's Method of Severing the Three Corpses is truly miraculous, a supreme and wondrous technique. If one could truly sever the three corpses, one could be on the same path as others. It's just a pity that my Dao Realm Cultivation only enough to sever one corpse; I still have no clue about the remaining two."
Donghua stood up, ignoring West Queen Mother's words, and instead placed the ice crystal hairpin in West Queen Mother's hair, softly saying:
"Junior sister is truly beautiful!"
After praising him, he continued, "Teacher's Method of Severing the Three Corpses divides all obstacles on the path into three types: good, evil, and attachment. Severing the Good and Evil Two Corpses is relatively easy, but the final corpse of attachment is almost impossible to sever. I don't know if it's good or bad."
Donghua was well aware of the advantages and disadvantages of Slaying Three Corpses, and Hongjun had also mentioned it when he preached. In any case, for the time being, it was the best way to improve Dao Realm Cultivation.
The West Queen Mother raised her hand and touched the jade hairpin in her hair, smiling sweetly.
That smile was like the heavens and earth blooming!
"Did you say that to Houtu as well?"
Donghua was caught off guard by the question and stared in disbelief at the West Queen Mother. He couldn't believe that the goddess of the Primordial Wilderness was now asking such questions like an ordinary person from later times, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.
"Brother, are you leaving?" She didn't press further; it was pointless anyway, and asking any more questions would only make things worse!
Donghua nodded slightly and said, "I have a hundred-year agreement with Fuxi, and I also want to visit the territory under the jurisdiction of the Witch Court. Moreover, my Eight Trigrams Great Dao should be widely spread throughout the world!"
The West Queen Mother thought for a moment and said, "I also want to go. Why don't we travel together? Besides, I can also take this opportunity to travel and explore the Primordial Wilderness!"
"Okay!" Donghua readily agreed!
In the Primordial Wilderness era, time passed without a trace; a thousand years could vanish in the blink of an eye!
Over the course of a thousand years, Donghua first accompanied the West Queen Mother on her travels through the Primordial Wilderness. When they met someone with a predestined connection, he would impart the Way of the Eight Trigrams to them, and sometimes he would stop at a random mountain peak to preach the Great Way.
They met up with Fuxi at the appointed time!
The three of them traveled together across the Primordial World Continent, their footprints covering many tribes of the Witch Court.
In some small tribes, the highest level of cultivation is only Golden Immortal, while in some large tribes, there are Great Witch with the cultivation of Daluo Golden Immortal.
Just like the Kuafu Tribe they are currently in, whose leader is named Kuafu, a Great Witch at the peak of the Grand Unity realm.
I just don't know if this Kuafu is the one that people in later generations know.
When Fuxi, Donghua, and West Queen Mother were traveling among the Witch Clan, they would sometimes conceal themselves and silently observe the tribe's life.
Sometimes they transform into members of the Witch Clan and participate in their lives. They also hunt monsters, and sometimes they get injured, eventually receiving treatment from the Witch Clan's unique witch doctors.
Sometimes, when participating in the unique rituals of the Witch Clan, the highest-level deities worshipped by the Witch Clan are not the Heavenly Dao, but Pangu and the Earth.
After observing this practice of worshipping Pangu, Donghua and others discovered that it was a spontaneous act, without any guidance. They believed from their blood that Pangu was the heaven and that the earth had given birth to them.
In fact, the Witch Clan does not Heavenly Dao, but only Pangu, which Donghua sees as having no problem.
The Dao in the Primordial World was originally created by Pangu. It can be said that without Pangu, there would be no Heavenly Dao.
However, the practice of worshipping Pangu is becoming increasingly rare in the prehistoric Primordial Wilderness. Pangu's existence and influence are gradually disappearing from the Primordial Wilderness, and some people who came into being do not even know the name of Pangu.
"Fellow Daoist Fuxi, what are your thoughts on this journey?"
Fuxi recalled what he had seen and heard along the way, pondered for a while, and said, "The Witch Court does have its advanced aspects, but its thinking is too narrow. In the end, it is just the civilization of the Witch Clan. It lacks the all-encompassing spirit and will hardly amount to anything."
Then, looking at the Witch Clan members returning from the hunt in the distance, he said, "The Witch Clan members, who are born through natural processes, need a large amount of essence and blood to replenish their qi and blood during their growth, so they hunt demons and other ancient races on a large scale to obtain their essence and blood."
"It can be said that the conflict between the myriad races and the Witch Clan is getting bigger and bigger, and the biggest conflict between the Witch Clan and the demon race is the biggest conflict between the two. When the two meet, it will be a fight to the death!"
At this point, Fuxi sighed helplessly, "If this continues for a long time, will there still be demons on this Primordial World Continent?"
Donghua smiled and said nonchalantly, "Survival of the fittest. No matter how many years pass, the Witch Clan will never be able to wipe out the Demon Clan, but the hatred between them is indeed increasing day by day."
Donghua understood this very well. It's like the wolves and sheep on the grasslands in later generations. The sheep are powerless against the wolves, but no matter how long it goes on, the sheep will never become extinct!
Although it's a bit inappropriate to describe the lower-level Witch Clan and demon races on the Primordial World Continent as wolves and sheep, that's the gist of the matter.
However, as time went on, the hatred between the liches and demons grew stronger day by day. This was no longer just a struggle for enlightenment at the top level, but extended to all aspects of the two races.
In comparison, the hatred among lower-level liches is even greater than that among the upper-level ones.
Because the lower-level liches possess all emotions, unlike the Innate Deities, they have their own relatives and friends. As humans, they are born with the seven emotions and six desires.
In the course of their constant hunting, many friends and family members died at each other's hands. The conflict between the two races was no longer a simple matter of right and wrong, but rather a matter of hatred and survival.
Hatred permeated both groups and gradually spread, a hatred that no one could resolve or stop—neither Di Jun nor Dijiang could.
Unless you can erase all the liches' memories and extinguish their instincts, even if Hongjun came, it wouldn't work.
This has become a source of hatred between the two ethnic groups.
I believe this hatred will eventually erupt one day.
That day will surely be Heaven Breaker!
