Fengqi Mountain, Nuwa's Budding Love!

Hongmeng Immortal Palace.

East King Duke sat cross-legged, his Great Luo Three Flowers manifesting as his aura contracted inward. Rolling Immortal Dao Laws spread, converging toward his Great Luo Three Flowers to form countless Immortal Dao divine patterns, exuding a misty and vast aura.

"The Immortal Dao Law has finally reached Great Accomplishment! With This Emperor's current combat power, I can slay a Late-stage Quasi-Saint great power!" East King Duke opened his eyes and suddenly punched forward. The Immortal Charm of the void was directly torn apart. His Minor Achievement of the Law of Strength meant his realm remained at Early-stage Quasi-Saint, but relying on the Immortal Dao Law allowed him to unleash supreme combat power.

[Ding!] [A God-Tier Selection Mission has refreshed. The following three choices are now given to the protagonist:] [Choice One: Recruit a Quasi-Saint great power to join the Hongmeng Immortal Palace. Reward: one Innate Supreme Treasure Enhancement Card.] [Choice Two: Sever the Three Corpses and prove the Dao at Quasi-Saint Peak. Reward: one strand of Primordial Violet Qi.] [Choice Three: Comprehend the Space Law or Time Law. Reward: top-grade Innate Spirit Treasure, White Tiger Whip.]

Deep within his Primordial Spirit, the System Big Sister Voice echoed.

A thousand years had passed since the last Wu-Demon War. Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi had successively broken through to Mid-stage Quasi-Saint, and among the Twelve Ancestral Witches, a Mid-stage Quasi-Saint great power had also emerged. Within the Hongmeng Immortal Palace, West Queen Mother had used the twelve Sea-Calming Pearls to sever her Evil Corpse, her cultivation also breaking through. Only East King Duke, because he cultivated the Great Dao of Strength, had fallen far behind in realm. Though his combat power could slay Late-stage Quasi-Saint great powers, his realm was no longer impressive.

"It seems the System is dissatisfied that This Emperor's realm has been slow to break through, hence the refreshed God-Tier Selection. But this suits my plans!" His gaze swept over the system panel as East King Duke pondered for a moment. Then, he directly abandoned the last two choices. Because he cultivated the Three Thousand Laws, severing the Three Corpses was unsuitable for him. As for comprehending the Space Law or Time Law, East King Duke currently had no clue at all.

"This Emperor chooses One: Recruit a Quasi-Saint great power! Now that the rules of the Primordial World are chaotic and various great powers are in secluded cultivation, while the war between the Wu and Demon Races grows ever fiercer, only by recruiting top-tier great powers can I strengthen my forces. But who should I seek?" Looking at the Innate Supreme Treasure Enhancement Card within the system space, he quickly reached a decision.

Within the Hongmeng Immortal Palace, West Queen Mother was still cultivating. With a slight stir of his mana, East King Duke stored the Hongmeng Immortal Palace into the Chaos Bead, which descended upon that Middle Thousand World. Thunder rolled, and the sky darkened. East King Duke stepped onto the Dragon Body of Qiongqi and headed toward Buzhou Mountain.

Entering Buzhou Mountain, a vast Sha Qi swept in all directions. On the mountain walls, the blood and corpses of the Wu and Demon Races had not disappeared. This place had become a wasteland, requiring ten thousand years to recover. "Fengqi Mountain is indeed a top-tier Immortal's Blessed Land. Fuxi has profound potential and is the future Heavenly Emperor of the human race. If I scheme properly, he can prove the Dao and become a Saint through Heavenly Dao Merit. As for Nuwa, the future Holy Mother of the human race, her karmic ties with This Emperor run deep." Before East King Duke's eyes appeared a celestial mountain hundreds of millions of zhang tall. Boundless immortal mist blocked the sunlight, Innate Spiritual Qi was extremely dense, and countless rare treasures and Exotic Beasts lived within it. Fengqi Mountain was the dojo of Fuxi and Nuwa. However, it was located within the territory of Buzhou Mountain and constantly faced the covetous gaze of the Wu Race.

"East King Duke has come to call. I wonder if Fellow Daoists Fuxi and Nuwa would permit This Emperor to enter your dojo and Discuss the Dao?" Slightly cupping his hands, East King Duke's deep, gentle voice passed through the immortal mist and entered Fengqi Mountain. If he could recruit Fuxi, the foundation of the Hongmeng Immortal Palace would be strengthened. After all, with only East King Duke, West Queen Mother, and Qiongqi, they were still insufficient to look down upon the great powers of the Primordial World or suppress the Demon Race and Wu Race. The Calamity was approaching, and Chaos Demon Gods lurking in the shadows, such as Demon Ancestor Luohu and Old Ancestor Yangmei, were eager to enter the Primordial World and scheme for a thread of opportunity. East King Duke had no choice but to prepare.

Soon.

Space trembled, the immortal mist dispersed, and a gate appeared at the peak of Fengqi Mountain.

Two figures, treading on immortal qi, appeared before East King Duke. Their auras were extremely calm, yet the might of Quasi-Saint swept outward, causing all living beings to submit. "Fuxi greets Fellow Daoist East King Duke. That an Immortal Emperor would come to our Fengqi Mountain to Discuss the Dao is the supreme honor for me and my younger sister. Please, Fellow Daoist, enter quickly. Let us speak in the dojo."

"Little sister, come and meet Daoist Brother East King Duke!"

"This sister of mine has long admired your majestic bearing. She often mentions you in front of me, but has never had the chance to interact with you!"

Fuxi laughed heartily, pushing Nuwa in front of East King Duke.

Her face flushed peach-red, delicate enough to drip.

The moment she saw East King Duke, Nuwa froze, as if struck dumb.

Then, coming to her senses, she let out a coquettish huff at Fuxi, her cheeks and ears burning crimson, her heart pounding like a startled deer.

If it were anyone else, Nuwa would have maintained the poise of a great power.

But Fuxi often spoke in front of her about playing matchmaker between her and East King Duke, which only stirred her restless spring heart further.

Over time, coupled with East King Duke's flawless demeanor, she began to harbor admiration.

"Nuwa greets Daoist Brother East King Duke!"

Her alluring, pure, and beautiful figure slowly sank as she gave a slight bow to East King Duke.

Her heartbeat quickened, her proud chest rising and falling gently with each breath.

Watching Nuwa's shy demeanor, East King Duke couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth. Their eyes met, causing this peerless female immortal to lower her head, her pink neck all the more captivating.

"Daoist Brother East King Duke, as an innate god valued by Dao Ancestor Hongjun, with the Hongmeng Immortal Palace as your dojo and a Divine Dragon as your mount, your Quasi-Saint cultivation is unmatched. If I could discuss the Dao with you, I would surely benefit greatly."

"Today, your arrival at my Fengqi Mountain fills me with excitement. But I suspect you're not here just for Dao discussion, are you?"

Though Fuxi didn't know East King Duke's purpose, he had a clear sense of his own standing. Why would someone of this caliber cross half the Primordial World just to discuss the Dao?

Even if it were for Dao discussion, he should have chosen the Three Pure Ones on Kunlun Mountain instead.

"Daoist Brother Fuxi flatters me. Both of you are renowned among the Three Thousand Innate Gods!"

"Especially Daoist Sister Nuwa, who occupies a cushion in the Purple Cloud Palace. Her fortune runs deep, and she will surely gain Dao Ancestor Hongjun's favor. Even This Emperor envies that!"

"After all, that is a supreme opportunity, far more precious than an Innate Supreme Treasure."

East King Duke said cryptically.

Each cushion represented a seat of Heavenly Dao Sainthood.

Nuwa would create humanity and become a saint after the third lecture at the Purple Cloud Palace.

As the only female immortal among the saints, Nuwa's cultivation and strength were extraordinary.

Watching Nuwa's bashful look, she seemed nothing like the Heavenly Dao Saint standing at the pinnacle of the Great Dao—more like a little sister from next door.

If possible, East King Duke wouldn't mind eating soft rice with a hard bite.

"Daoist Brother, do those cushions relate to sainthood?"

Fuxi, puzzled, couldn't help asking.

"Unspeakable, unspeakable. Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed. When Dao Ancestor Hongjun gives his third lecture, all will become clear."

"This time, I came to Fengqi Mountain for you, Daoist Brother Fuxi. I have important matters to discuss with both of you."

As East King Duke's words fell, a flicker of dimness passed through Nuwa's eyes.

So, he hadn't come for her.

Thinking this, Nuwa couldn't help examining herself with divine sense, pinching her delicate face, doubting her own charm.

Did East King Duke have no intention of becoming her Dao Companion?

The esteemed Nuwa was no less beautiful than the West Queen Mother.

Once the seed of affection took root, it couldn't be uprooted. Her spring heart had already found its home.

As they spoke, the three arrived at the dojo.

Fragrant scents filled the air, with flowers blooming everywhere.

In a valley where spiritual herbs and flowers swayed and blossomed, two Dao palaces rose from the ground. This was where Fuxi and Nuwa cultivated in seclusion.

Before the Dao palace stood a jade table, beside which a stream flowed with fish and spiritual beasts swimming freely, immortal energy drifting—a peerless immortal realm.

The three sat on rattan chairs, exchanging their insights on the Dao.

With just a few words, East King Duke could trigger resonance with the Heavenly Dao, earning the admiration of Fuxi and Nuwa.

After a round of Dao discussion, East King Duke finally revealed his purpose.

Sipping fragrant Jade Nectar and tasting Innate Spiritual Fruits, the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

"Daoist Brother Fuxi, what are your thoughts on the current situation in the Primordial World?"

East King Duke's expression turned serious. His brows slightly raised as he spoke in a deep voice.

Whether he could win over Fuxi hinged on this moment!
