Encounter at Buzhou, Fuxi and Nuwa

The tribulation ended, and the three tribes successively withdrew from the Primordial World stage. After the Devil Race was completely annihilated, the Primordial Continent presented a situation of "a hundred schools of thought contending" and "a hundred flowers blooming."

Of course, some relatively large forces still existed, such as the major innate races in the Primordial World, for example, the Sun Star Lineage in the starry sky, which was the later Demon Race, and the Witch Clan, which had only been born for tens of thousands of years but was already a major race in the Primordial World, multiplying near Buzhou Mountain.

Another thing worth mentioning is that after the Dragon Clan retreated, according to the division of forces in the four seas in the previous life, the Pure Yang Lineage was the largest in the East Sea. However, the rebirth of East King Duke changed all of this. Pure Yang became Supreme Yang. Although Supreme Yang Dao Lord was awe-inspiring throughout the four seas, the Supreme Yang Lineage had few disciples and no intention of entering the world, making them reclusive hermits outside the mortal realm.

On the contrary, on Penglai Island, a holy land for rogue cultivators, three Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals gathered a group of cultivators, calling themselves the Penglai Lineage, and gained considerable fame in the four seas.

These few forces each controlled a large area with many followers. However, they were not as powerful as the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin, the three Innate Tribes, from before. They were very restrained and there were no conflicts.

Although the major forces appeared calm, East King Duke knew that conquest was inevitable to seize the Primordial World Destiny. But in the end, it would all be in vain. Even the later Witch and Demon Races, without the top-tier combat power within their clans, could not escape the same fate as the three Innate Tribes.

This Primordial World was, after all, the Primordial World of Heavenly Dao Saints. Below Saints, all were ants. In the end, it would be a struggle between Saint sects. This was why East King Duke had always kept the Supreme Yang Lineage in seclusion.

Besides these forces, many Great Supernatural Beings who were Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals further displayed their might. The Primordial World slowly evolved into the era of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals.

East King Duke and Queen Mother of the West did not rush their journey. They rode their Dao Lotuses leisurely towards Buzhou Mountain, enjoying the magnificent scenery of the Primordial World along the way, which was a unique experience.

After several hundred years, they arrived at Buzhou Mountain. East King Duke did not immediately go to the Witch Clan's territory but accompanied Queen Mother of the West up the mountain.

The two ascended Buzhou Mountain together. Perhaps it was because the harmony of Yin and Yang secretly coincided with the Heavenly Dao, their destinies were connected, and they indeed encountered many opportunities. Along the way, they collected many excellent Innate Spiritual Roots. Furthermore, Queen Mother of the West's primordial spirit sensed opportunities several times, obtaining two Innate Spiritual Treasures. Although both were of the lower grade, it was her first time having such an opportunity, and she was overjoyed.

"Greetings, two fellow Daoists!"

With a greeting, two people flew over from a distance, a male cultivator and a female cultivator. East King Duke had already sensed them with his divine sense. Seeing their appearances, his heart stirred.

"This humble one is Fuxi, and this is my younger sister Nuwa. We cultivate here on Buzhou Mountain. We are very happy to see fellow Daoists and have come to meet you. Please do not be offended."

The appearances of these two were very distinctive. East King Duke guessed their identities as soon as he saw them: one was the future Xi Huang of the Demon Race, and the other was the future Wa Empress of the Demon Race. He had admired them from afar for a long time but did not expect to meet them so soon.

Especially Nuwa, the future Saint Mother of the Human Race. In his previous life, he was of human descent and had a trace of Karma with Nuwa.

East King Duke secretly observed this destined Saint and found her appearance to be exceptionally beautiful.

In the Primordial World, he had not seen many Innate Goddesses, but they were all incredibly beautiful, each with her own unique charm. Queen Mother of the West possessed an ethereal demeanor. The two Taiyin Goddesses, Xi He and Chang Xi, had noble appearances. As for Nuwa, she had a sacred and pure beauty.

Upon seeing Nuwa, East King Duke suddenly thought of the one from the Witch Clan, the future Earth Ancestral Witch who would perform great deeds of merit. He wondered what she looked like.

He pondered in his heart but showed no outward reaction. Instead, he replied, "This humble one is East King Duke from Fangzhang Island in the East Sea, with the Dao title Supreme Yang. This is Queen Mother of the West. We greet Fuxi and Nuwa, fellow Daoists."

"So you are fellow Daoists from the four seas. Our dojo is within Buzhou Mountain. Meeting is destiny. Since you have traveled far, my brother and sister wish to invite you for a chat."

Earlier, the brother and sister Fuxi and Nuwa were cultivating in their dojo when Nuwa had a premonition that a Great Supernatural Being was approaching, sensing a strong affinity. She then went out to search for them. Upon seeing East King Duke and the others, Fuxi directly extended the invitation.

East King Duke looked at Queen Mother of the West beside him. Seeing that she did not say much and adopted an attitude of deferring to him, he replied, "Yes!"

Fuxi was overjoyed and led them towards a spiritual and beautiful place before activating a formation and entering.

Inside was Fuxi and Nuwa's dojo, naturally a top-tier Grotto-Heaven, with spiritual mountains, divine waters, birds singing, flowers fragrant, and an extraordinary aura.

These Brother and Sister were also ascetics, free from worldly attachments. Their dojo was devoid of any living beings, not even a single attendant. Only two magnificent dojo palaces, named after the two of them, stood solitary within.

As they traveled, the four of them became much more familiar with each other. By the time they reached Fuxi's palace, there was little sense of unfamiliarity left.

They took their seats as guests of honor in the dojo. Fuxi offered Spiritual Fruit and Nectar, and the four conversed merrily. East King Duke, naturally, was not stingy either, reciprocating with Yellow Middle Plum, which naturally elicited a round of praise.

At this time, the Demon Race had not yet been established. Fuxi and Nuwa were merely ordinary Mid-stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals. Their possessions were not abundant, not even as much as Queen Mother of the West. It could even be said they were somewhat impoverished. Upon seeing Spiritual Fruit like Yellow Middle Plum, they were greatly shocked.

After partaking, Fuxi suddenly spoke.

"My Brother and Sister rarely leave our dojo. Daoist Supreme Yang is a noble scholar from the East Sea, with profound cultivation. You must have an understanding of the grand trends of the Primordial World. Could you offer some guidance?"

East King Duke said, "Guidance is too much to claim. We can certainly discuss and explore together. Since the Three Innate Tribes retreated, the Primordial World has flourished, with many talented individuals emerging. Speaking of grand trends, it is none other than the Witch Clan at Buzhou Mountain and the Sun Star Lineage in the starry sky. Both of these are blessed by heaven and possess the aura of Primordial World protagonists."

He spoke eloquently. When he mentioned the Witch Clan, Fuxi clearly showed a hint of disgust. However, when he spoke of the Sun Star Lineage, his face lit up with joy.

East King Duke's heart stirred. He wondered if, at this time, Fuxi had already become acquainted with the two from the Sun Star.

Fuxi completely avoided mentioning the Witch Clan, instead laughing heartily and saying, "Daoist Supreme Yang's insights are profound. Those two masters of the Sun Star are indeed extraordinary. Both are True Immortals, with excellent origins and deep cultivation. The Demon Race lineage they founded has already gained momentum. I also strongly agree. Hundreds of years ago, when I met Daoist Di Jun and Daoist Tai Yi, we hit it off immediately. Those two have invited me several times to leave my mountain and jointly manage the Demon Race. I had not yet replied, but after hearing your words, Daoist, I have made my decision."

East King Duke remained noncommittal. Nuwa, on the side, became displeased.

"Brother, perhaps we should not get involved in the disputes of the Primordial World. It is better to focus on our cultivation and attain enlightenment as soon as possible."

East King Duke secretly nodded. As the legends from his past life had said, Fuxi was enthusiastic about the great cause of the Demon Race and actively joined to become Xi Huang of the Demon Race. Nuwa, on the other hand, was devoted to the Dao. In later generations, perhaps because of her brother, she reluctantly accepted the position of Wa Empress.

After Nuwa finished speaking, East King Duke nodded and said, "Daoist Nuwa speaks the truth. We cultivators should prioritize the pursuit of the Dao and cultivation. Only by attaining the Zenith Heaven realm and even higher realms can we achieve true freedom."
