Negotiations and a Battle with Nuwa

Donghua didn't know where he was, only that the turmoil in his Dao Heart was growing stronger, as if it were right in front of him.

"It seems Nuwa is truly about to attain enlightenment; such a strong feeling can only come from the birth of the human race."

Donghua's true spirit in this life comes from the human race, and now that the human race is truly about to emerge, his feelings are so strong.

"Even Nuwa probably didn't expect that the place she chose would be found. However, her cultivation speed is truly fast and amazing; no wonder she was targeted by everyone."

In this life, he combined the strengths of all schools of thought, uniting the Immortals and Gods, and seizing countless opportunities to achieve such accomplishments. Nuwa, on the other hand, achieved such success solely through her own efforts. How could she not be amazed?

Donghua followed his heart's desire and wandered aimlessly until he finally sensed the presence of Fuxi and Nuwa in a certain place.

"Found it!"

Meanwhile, in the middle of the river, Nuwa, dressed in stunning red, stood barefoot, letting the river soak her, lost in thought, quietly gazing at her reflection in the water.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration appeared, as if he had a premonition. He lowered his head and pondered for a while. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly felt a powerful aura coming from him.

It is Donghua!

"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, Fellow Daoist Fuxi, what a coincidence that we meet again! How have you been? How have you been?"

Donghua, as if by chance, stepped forward and greeted the two.

Unbeknownst to him, Fuxi exchanged pleasantries with Donghua with a smile. The two had indeed not seen each other for a long time, and in his plan, he should go to Donghua soon, which would coincide with the time when the Purple Mansion launched a full-scale attack on the Witch Clan.

Just as the two were chatting, Nuwa, with a cold and aloof expression, came from the river to the shore and stared intently at Donghua.

When Fuxi saw this, he realized something was wrong, and it might be quite serious, because he hadn't seen Nuwa with that expression in a long time.

That's terrifying, but it also means Nuwa is serious!

He then looked at Donghua with a suspicious gaze, then at his own sister, his expression rather strange, and asked in confusion, "What's going on between you two?"

But when he asked the question, neither of them paid any attention to him, as if he didn't exist.

A strange atmosphere permeated the air, and Nuwa and Donghua's auras began to rise rapidly, their powerful presence causing Fuxi to retreat repeatedly.

At this moment, there's no point in trying to mediate; he can't even stand steadily, as if his Late Stage Quasi-Saint cultivation level doesn't exist.

Seeing this, Fuxi could only quickly retreat from the area of their auras to avoid being affected. After all, his current strength was far inferior to theirs, and if he continued to get involved, he might be killed, and then who would he complain to?

"You want to fight?"

"I don't care, anything is fine with me!"

"Since you don't want to fight, then please leave. You are not welcome here!" Nuwa's cold voice rang out, devoid of any emotion, yet utterly domineering.

Donghua smiled slightly after hearing this, put his hands behind his back, looked at the unnamed river beside him, and didn't care about Nuwa's attitude at all.

"Senior Sister Nuwa, the scenery here is beautiful, especially this river, it's absolutely gorgeous. I'd like to rest here for a while and enjoy the view. Is that alright?"

Nuwa moved her jade hand, and the Red Embroidered Ball transformed into Red Embroidery Saber. Her beautiful face was filled with solemnity.

"I told you you're not welcome here, please leave!"

Donghua ignored the angry Nuwa, and instead flicked his hand, sending a burst of magical power into the river.

It instantly caused the sound of a tsunami, followed by an endless surge of the Great Dao Power in the rivers, and the light of creation filled the sky.

Nuwa deduced and evolved the Creation Great Dao countless times here, and the Daoist essence she left behind is everywhere. This is also why Nuwa wanted Donghua to leave.

This is where Nuwa attained enlightenment. After so many years of enlightenment here, her vital energy has completely merged with hers.

Leaving this place and seeking enlightenment elsewhere is not impossible, but it would require a period of adjustment and a change in one's own state, which is something Nuwa does not want to see.

"Senior sister, think it through before you act!"

Nuwa knew that Donghua Jieyin the secrets of this place and said such things, and that the matter could no longer be resolved peacefully.

"What exactly do you want?"

Donghua smiled, turned to Nuwa and said, "It's not about what I want to do, but what you can do?"

After hearing this, Nuwa didn't mince words and said directly, "We will keep to ourselves and not interfere with each other. Even if I attain enlightenment, I will not interfere with what you are doing, and I will absolutely not affect your path to enlightenment!"

"Not enough, we need to add more!"

Donghua immediately rejected Nuwa's proposal, because this condition was the most basic and the bottom line for today's negotiations, but it was absolutely not Donghua's condition!

After all, the pressure is now on Nuwa. If she wants to successfully attain enlightenment, she must pass Donghua's test; otherwise, she can forget about creating humans and attaining enlightenment.

Nuwa looked at Donghua. She really wanted to slash him right now, but if they started fighting directly, she wasn't confident of winning. If they got into a stalemate, she would only become more and more passive.

"Just state your conditions. If there are no problems, I agree. If there are problems, then let's have a go!"

Seeing that Nuwa Donghua so pleased, Donghua stopped being mysterious and held up three fingers, saying, "I have three requests. If you agree, I will not only not stop you from attaining enlightenment, but I will also do my best to help you achieve Attain Sainthood!"

"First, after you attain Attain Sainthood, you must not help the Lich King in any way, meaning you cannot prevent the unification of the Purple Mansion!"

"Secondly, you must not attack me before I attain enlightenment, not in any way!"

"Thirdly, I haven't thought about it yet, so consider it as you owing me a favor, which is one thing. Of course, it won't be too much; it will definitely be a request or thing that you can do!"

After hearing the three conditions, Nuwa looked at Donghua in disbelief, her face full of disbelief, and finally burst into laughter.

Because the first and second conditions were negotiable, but what's with the third one? Asking her to agree to a condition outright? How is that possible?

"Donghua, I really didn't expect you to have this side to you. How can you be so shameless? How could you even bring up the third condition?"

"Senior sister, this is nothing. Besides, only through cooperation can we achieve a win-win situation, don't you think?"

Nuwa frowned slightly, strolled forward, her feet barely touching the ground, like a red sprite, and finally stood beside Donghua.

"Junior Brother Donghua, do you really intend to stop me from attaining enlightenment? This is an enmity of obstructing my path, an enmity of life and death!"

As the two spoke, their aura grew stronger and stronger, and the place where they stood became their own world, with their two energies constantly clashing.

"Senior sister, you're overthinking it. How could I possibly stop you from attaining enlightenment? I just missed you quite a bit, so I came to catch up with you and admire your magnificent beauty."

As Donghua spoke, he also took a step forward. At this moment, the two were less than ten centimeters apart, and could clearly see each other's subtle details.

However, they remained silent for a long time, perhaps weighing the pros and cons, and neither dared to make the first move.

"Junior Brother Donghua, I once surveyed the River of Destiny and witnessed a scene where the demon race besieged the Purple Mansion, East King Gong died at the hands of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi. I wonder what your thoughts are on this?"

Nuwa smiled slightly, her eyes fixed on Donghua, trying to discern something.

But at this moment, Donghua's face remained calm and expressionless, as if he were not the one being talked about.

Because Donghua knew this better than anyone else: without the return of his true spirit, his fate would have been just as Nuwa had said, to die at the hands of Taiyi.

There's nothing surprising about that!

Seeing that Donghua had no expression, Nuwa said again, "I have always believed that my only opponent is Taishang, and only he can fight me, or rather, only he can interest me."

"Until you rose to prominence and created the Bagua (Eight Trigrams), I couldn't understand your fate anymore, and it was from that moment that I became even more interested in you!"

Donghua smiled, his expression masking his inner turmoil. This woman was truly extraordinary, capable of navigating the River of Destiny and observing the lives of others.

Is it because of the Creation Great Dao?

That shouldn't be the case. No matter how wondrous the Creation Great Dao is, it couldn't possibly have achieved such a feat. So what exactly was Nuwa's backup plan, or rather, her methods?

"Senior sister, have you ever heard the saying, 'When you're interested in a man, you'll inevitably fall in love with him'?"

Nuwa smiled gently, her eyelashes fluttering slightly. Like Donghua, she put her hands behind her back and turned to look at the river in front of her.

"Love? For me, I only love the road!"

Fuxi, watching the two figures in the distance, was quite anxious. He didn't know what they were saying, but their auras were growing stronger and stronger, as if they were about to fight at any moment. How could he not be anxious?

In fact, the two had already clashed several times, but it was all a battle of wills.

Finally, at a certain moment, the two of them slowly rose up and hovered above the river, their eyes slightly closed.

In the blink of an eye, their Divine Sense arrived above the River of Time and Space, and they quickly entered a fierce battle.

Nuwa, wielding Red Embroidery Saber, unleashed a single slash carrying boundless light of creation. The light enveloped the long river, cutting off rivers and seas wherever it passed, heading straight for Donghua.

With a thought, Donghua manifested the true form of the Heavenly Emperor, taking a light step forward. As he did so, invisible ripples spread forward—the power of time.

Then a phantom materialized and charged forward once more; this was the power of the Space Great Dao.

"The Heavenly Emperor Steps Through Time!"

Space and time converge, unleashing the power of spacetime. The surging River of Time and Space remains calm, and wherever spacetime passes, it instantly reduces all of Nuwa's attacks to nothingness, leaving no trace of her sword energy.

At this moment, the power of spacetime had not yet stopped. The phantom, stirring up ripples of time, once again attacked Nuwa, attempting to suppress and seal her.

Seeing this, Nuwa did not rush to act, but instead praised, "What supernatural power! What a magnificent ability to manipulate time and space!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he extended a finger, gathering the Great Dao Power. Then, he gently pointed forward, and the power of spacetime transformed into two blades, colliding with Donghua's power of spacetime!

"Buzz!"

The greatest sound is silent; it was as if nothing had happened. All the attacks and strange phenomena vanished into nothingness in this collision.

In a simple, probing attack, neither of them could gauge the other's capabilities.

However, Donghua understood one thing: Nuwa also cultivated the Three Thousand Great Daos, and it was very likely that, like him, she had already mastered all Three Thousand Great Daos.
