Nuwa. (Delete if infringing.)
Hongmeng Immortal Palace.
Dong Wanggong sat cross-legged, the Great Luo Three Flowers manifesting as the aura around him drew inward.
Rolling Immortal Dao Law spread through the air, surging toward his Great Luo Three Flowers and forming countless Immortal Dao runes that radiated an ethereal, boundless aura.
"The Immortal Dao Law has finally reached Great Accomplishment!"
"With my current combat strength, I can now kill Late Quasi-Saint experts!"
Dong Wanggong opened his eyes and suddenly threw a punch in front of him.
The immortal resonance in the void was torn apart.
His Law of Strength had only reached Minor Achievement, so his cultivation realm remained Early-stage Quasi-Saint. But with the Immortal Dao Law, he could unleash peerless combat strength.
[Ding!] [God-Tier Selection Mission refreshed. The protagonist is now given three choices:] [Choice One: Recruit a Quasi-Saint expert into Hongmeng Immortal Palace. Reward: one Innate Supreme Treasure Upgrade Card.] [Choice Two: Sever the Three Corpses and prove the Dao as a Quasi-Saint Peak. Reward: one strand of Primordial Violet Qi.] [Choice Three: Comprehend the Space Law or Time Law. Reward: the top-grade Innate Spirit Treasure White Tiger Whip.]
The System Big Sister Voice echoed deep within his soul.
A thousand years had passed since the last Wu-Demon War. Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi had both broken through to Mid-stage Quasi-Saint, and a Mid-stage Quasi-Saint expert had emerged among the Twelve Ancestral Witches as well.
Within Hongmeng Immortal Palace, West Queen Mother had severed her Evil Corpse with the twelve Sea-Calming Pearls and likewise advanced in cultivation.
Only Dong Wanggong had fallen far behind in realm because he cultivated the Great Dao of Strength. Though his combat strength could slay Late Quasi-Saint experts, his cultivation realm was no longer impressive.
"Looks like the system thinks I've been taking too long to break through, so it refreshed a God-Tier Selection Mission. That suits me just fine!"
Dong Wanggong glanced over the system panel and pondered for a moment.
Then he immediately rejected the last two choices. He cultivated the Three Thousand Laws, so severing the Three Corpses was not suitable for him.
As for comprehending the Space Law or Time Law, Dong Wanggong had no clue where to begin.
"I choose the first option: recruit a Quasi-Saint expert!"
"Now that the laws of the Primordial Wilderness are in chaos, the great powers are all in seclusion cultivating, while the war between the Wu Race and the Demon Race grows ever fiercer. Only by recruiting top experts can I expand my forces."
"But who should I look for?"
He glanced at the Innate Supreme Treasure Upgrade Card in System Space and soon made up his mind.
Within Hongmeng Immortal Palace, West Queen Mother was still cultivating.
With a slight movement of his magical power, Dong Wanggong drew Hongmeng Immortal Palace into the Chaos Bead and set it above that Middle Thousand World.
Thunder rumbled as the skies darkened.
Standing atop Qiongqi's dragon body, Dong Wanggong headed for Buzhou Mountain.
As soon as he entered Buzhou Mountain, overwhelming baleful energy swept across the land.
The blood and corpses of the Wu and Demon races still stained the mountain walls. The place had become desolate and would need ten thousand years to recover.
"Fengqi Mountain truly is a top-tier Immortal's Blessed Land."
"Fuxi has immense potential, and he will become the future Heavenly Emperor of the Human Race. With my guidance, he could use Heavenly Dao Merit to prove the Dao and become a Saint."
"As for Nuwa, the future Holy Mother of the Human Race, she and I share a deep karmic bond."
Before Dong Wanggong stood an immortal mountain a hundred million zhang tall. Endless immortal mist veiled the sunlight, and Innate Spiritual Qi was extraordinarily abundant. Countless rare creatures lived there as well.
Fengqi Mountain was the Dojo of Fuxi and Nuwa.
However, it lay within the territory of Buzhou Mountain, where it was constantly watched by the Wu Race.
"Dong Wanggong has come to pay a visit. I wonder if Fellow Daoists Fuxi and Nuwa might invite me into your Dojo to discuss the Dao?"
Dong Wanggong cupped his hands slightly. His deep, gentle voice passed through the immortal mist and into Fengqi Mountain.
If he could recruit Fuxi, the strength of Hongmeng Immortal Palace would grow.
After all, there were only Dong Wanggong, West Queen Mother, and Qiongqi for now—not enough to stand above the great powers of the Primordial Wilderness and suppress the Demon and Wu races.
The Kalpa Tribulation was approaching. Chaos Demon Gods lurking in the shadows, such as Demon Ancestor Luohu and Old Ancestor Yangmei, were seeking to enter the Primordial World and scheme for a sliver of opportunity.
Dong Wanggong had no choice but to prepare.
Soon,
space trembled, the immortal mist parted, and a gate appeared atop Fengqi Mountain.
Two figures appeared before Dong Wanggong, walking on immortal energy. Their auras were exceptionally peaceful, yet their Quasi-Saint might swept outward, bringing all living creatures to their knees.
"Fuxi pays his respects to Fellow Daoist Dong Wanggong. Immortal Emperor, your visit to Fengqi Mountain to discuss the Dao is an immense honor for my younger sister and me. Please, come in. Let us continue our discussion inside the Dojo."
"Little Sister, why don't you greet Fellow Daoist Dong Wanggong?"
"My younger sister admires your imposing bearing. She often talks about you in front of me; she's just never had the chance to meet you!"
Fuxi laughed and ushered Nuwa over to Dong Wanggong.
Her face was flushed, her beauty radiant.
The moment she saw Dong Wanggong, Nuwa froze, as if she had been struck dumb.
Only after a moment did Nuwa come back to her senses. She gave Fuxi a coquettish huff, her cheeks and ears turning scarlet as her heart pounded wildly.
Nuwa would naturally have maintained the dignity of a powerful expert in front of anyone else.
But Fuxi often told her he would play matchmaker between her and Dong Wanggong. His words had only made her heart flutter even more.
As time passed, and with Dong Wanggong being so flawless,
she had fallen for him.
"Nuwa pays her respects to Fellow Daoist Dong Wanggong!"
Her alluring, graceful figure lowered gently as she gave Dong Wanggong a slight bow.
Her heartbeat quickened, and her ample chest rose and fell with each breath.
Seeing Nuwa's shy expression, Dong Wanggong couldn't help but let the corners of his mouth lift. He met her gaze, making the peerless female immortal lower her head. The pink nape of her neck became all the more captivating.
"As an Innate Deity esteemed by Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Fellow Daoist Dong Wanggong has Hongmeng Immortal Palace as his Dojo, a Divine Dragon as his mount, and peerless Quasi-Saint cultivation. I would certainly benefit greatly from discussing the Dao with you."
"Your visit to Fengqi Mountain today has truly thrilled me. But I imagine you have come for more than just a discussion of the Dao, haven't you?"
Fuxi didn't know why Dong Wanggong had come, but he knew his own worth. Given the cultivation of the man before him, why cross half the Primordial Wilderness just to discuss the Dao?
If he wanted to discuss the Dao, surely he would have chosen the Three Pure Ones at Kunlun Mountain.
"Fellow Daoist Fuxi, you flatter me. Both of you are renowned among the Three Thousand Innate Gods!"
"Especially Fellow Daoist Nuwa. You occupied one of the cushions in the Purple Heaven Palace, which means you must have deep fortune and will surely earn Dao Ancestor Hongjun's favor. Even I envy you!"
"After all, that is an unparalleled opportunity, more precious than an Innate Supreme Treasure."
Dong Wanggong spoke cryptically.
Each cushion represented the position of a Heavenly Dao Saint.
Nuwa would create humans and become a Saint after the third lecture at the Purple Heaven Palace.
As the only female immortal among the Saints, Nuwa's cultivation and strength were extraordinary.
Looking at Nuwa's bashful expression, she seemed nothing like a Heavenly Dao Saint standing at the pinnacle of the Great Dao. She was more like the young girl next door.
If he could, Dong Wanggong wouldn't mind living off his future wife.
"Fellow Daoist, could that cushion be related to becoming a Saint?"
Fuxi asked, puzzled.
"I cannot say. The Heavenly Secrets must not be revealed. It will all become clear after Dao Ancestor Hongjun's third lecture."
"I came to Fengqi Mountain this time for Fellow Daoist Fuxi. I have an important matter to discuss with you both."
A trace of disappointment flashed through Nuwa's eyes as Dong Wanggong finished speaking.
So he hadn't come for her.
At the thought, Nuwa looked herself over with her divine sense and pinched her delicate cheek, doubting her own charm.
Could it be that Dong Wanggong had no intention of becoming Dao Companions with her?
Surely Nuwa, of all people, was no less beautiful than West Queen Mother.
Once the seed of affection had taken root, it could not be uprooted. Her heart had already found its home.
As they spoke, the three arrived at the Dojo.
Fragrance filled the air, and flowers scented the breeze.
Two Daoist palaces rose from a valley where spiritual flowers and herbs swayed in bloom. This was where Fuxi and Nuwa cultivated in seclusion.
A jade table stood before the palaces. In the stream beside it, spiritual fish swam freely, while immortal energy drifted through the air. It was a peerless paradise.
The three sat in wicker chairs, sharing their understanding of the Dao.
With only a few words, Dong Wanggong could stir a response from the Heavenly Dao, leaving Fuxi and Nuwa deeply impressed.
After discussing the Dao for a while, Dong Wanggong finally explained why he had come.
They drank fragrant Jade Nectar and sampled Innate Spiritual Fruits. The atmosphere was peaceful.
"Fellow Daoist Fuxi, what do you think of the current situation in the Primordial Wilderness?"
Dong Wanggong's expression turned serious. He raised his brows slightly and spoke in a deep voice.
"Whether I can recruit Fuxi depends on this!"
