At that moment.

Nüwa found it difficult to calm her emotions, her tone conflicted.

"Celestial Venerable, you must be joking, right?"

"Nüwa is an innate divine being."

"How could there possibly be two of me in the Primordial Wilderness?"

"But what if there were another Primordial Wilderness?"

Lei Jun added another sentence.

Immediately.

Nüwa fell silent, her worldview once again shaken.

She actually did not know what else to say.

In one Primordial Wilderness.

There was indeed only one Nüwa.

But if there were more than one Primordial Wilderness, then it was truly hard to say.

But the problem was.

Could there really be two?

At this moment.

Lei Jun changed the subject.

"I was only speaking offhandedly. Don't take it to heart."

"This place is the core of the Academy."

"It contains all the Dao arts of the Primordial Wilderness. Even those absent from the Heaven's Dao can be found here, each transformed into a book. You can read them on your own. If there is anything you do not understand..."

"You should have seen those existences outside the Academy, right? You can ask them for guidance!"

"If I have the chance, I will also lecture on the Dao!"

After hearing this, Nüwa did not act immediately.

Instead, her beautiful eyes flickered.

She lightly bit her lower lip.

Clearly.

She still cared somewhat about the previous topic.

Lei Jun let out a soft sigh.

Then he spoke again.

"Nüwa, do you know why I bestowed this opportunity and summoned you here?"

"Nüwa does not know. I ask Senior to enlighten me!" Nüwa said solemnly.

Lei Jun was filled with emotion.

"You need not worry that I harbor some scheme against you. If I must put it that way, it is also for the sake of Seeking Dao!"

"Even regarding the two Primordial Wildernesses, I am not completely certain!"

"If you truly wish to know the truth, why not search for it yourself?"

"Everything is hidden within the 'Dao'!"

"That is why this building is called Seeking Dao!"

At once.

Nüwa understood.

The reason she had received such a great opportunity was indeed because of Lei Jun's arrangements.

But those arrangements were not schemes.

They carried a certain expectation.

He hoped she could succeed in Seeking Dao and help Lei Jun uncover the truth.

At this moment.

Nüwa could not help thinking.

The cultivators who had appeared here were probably also here for this reason, right?

Then.

Nüwa became resolute.

No matter what.

Even if she could not fulfill Lei Jun's expectations, she would still strive to comprehend the Dao and cultivate wholeheartedly.

Even if it was not for herself.

It would also be for Lei Jun!

Watching Nüwa enter the Book Pavilion and search for Dao arts that interested her—or, more precisely, suited her cultivation.

Lei Jun's gaze was free of sorrow or joy.

His words just now.

Had not been meant to frighten Nüwa.

They were simply the truth!

Otherwise.

After arriving in the Primordial Wilderness, how could he possibly have sensed Nüwa, who was still in her Origin state?

Clearly.

The world he had inhabited before transmigrating had contained a Nüwa!

In fact, if one really had to put it that way.

How could there be only two Nüwas?

There should be...

Countless of them!

Of course, one could also say there was only one!

That was Mythical Nüwa!

The others were nothing more than "projections"!

Just like this Primordial Wilderness!

In the darkness.

Lei Jun seemed to have grasped some crucial point, one related to proving the Mythical realm!

Speaking of which.

The reason Lei Jun had summoned Nüwa here this time.

Had nothing to do with Karma.

He was simply curious.

Before transmigrating, he had already heard the legends of Nüwa.

But clearly.

The two Nüwas were different.

After seeing this Primordial Wilderness's Nüwa, Lei Jun fell into thought.

He speculated inwardly.

Clearly.

Regardless of how many Primordial Wildernesses there were.

Or whether there was only one.

There was clearly more than one Nüwa!

She had incarnations throughout the Heavens and Myriad Worlds.

These incarnations varied in strength.

This one from the Primordial Wilderness was undoubtedly among the stronger ones.

But whether they were strong or weak.

That was not important.

The true key lay in her status!

They were basically all at the level of "Sage" or "Creator God."

Or even higher!

"And this..."

"To a certain extent, is precisely the manifestation of proving the Supreme Dao Fruit and illuminating the Cosmos!"

"Within the Immeasurable Sands, in every world, her figure can be found!"

"And all of them are..."

"The Supreme!"

At this moment.

Lei Jun seemed to have comprehended something.

His tone was filled with emotion.

"This is true mythology!"

"She can project herself throughout the heavens!"

"Although each projection differs in strength."

"In that world, however, her power and status are actually never low!"

Thinking of this.

Lei Jun could not help shaking his head.

With his current strength, he clearly could not accomplish this.

Because no matter how powerful he was.

He ultimately had his limits.

He might be able to project himself into one hundred worlds, one thousand worlds, or ten thousand worlds, but he could not project himself into an infinite number of cosmic heavens.

The gap between them was not something this realm could bridge.

Even the next realm would find it difficult.

Therefore.

From this perspective, the insights Lei Jun had gained were actually not many.

The main point was.

Whether he knew about projection or not.

It did not have much impact on his current cultivation.

It would neither improve it.

Nor make it decline.

However.

There were other gains.

These gains.

Made Lei Jun's heart tighten as he reached a conclusion.

"It seems that even after proving the Mythical realm, one still has opponents!"

"And furthermore..."

"After proving the Mythical realm, the form of Dao battles also changes."

Why did he say this?

Because although Nüwa's status was not low in any world.

Her reputation differed.

There was both praise and blame.

Lei Jun did not want to comment too much on this situation.

But it was obvious.

Before the eternal past, things might not have been like this.

As for why this was so...

"The Mythical Supreme is truly undying and indestructible. Ordinary means would probably be unable to deal with her."

"Perhaps..."

"The reason things turned out this way is precisely because of the results of a Dao battle?"

"Also known as a Dao Struggle!"

Lei Jun could not help shaking his head.

Because these were all his speculations, and none had been verified.

Therefore.

After thinking it over.

Lei Jun did not take it too seriously.

After all, he could not come into contact with it for now.

But making preparations in advance.

Was always possible.

As for...

Whether he should "turn around her reputation."

That was Nüwa's matter. Lei Jun would not interfere.

Thinking this.

He did not pay attention to any of this, instead turning his attention to outside the Academy.

At this moment.

On the Stone Steps outside the Academy, quite a few cultivators were still "breaking through the trials."

Houtu, Fuxi, Zhen Yuanzi...

And so on.

They were all Innate Gods.

They had also nearly reached the mountaintop, though they were somewhat slower than Nüwa.

Of course.

This did not mean that their talent and comprehension were far inferior to Nüwa's.

Rather, when Nüwa had transformed into human form,

her cultivation had been the highest.

Coupled with that wisp of opportunity, her climbing speed was naturally a little faster than that of the other cultivators.

Inside the Academy.

Brilliant light flickered in Nüwa's eyes.

The Creation before her

was enough to make her temporarily forget the doubts in her heart.

More precisely,

she knew that only by increasing her strength would she have any chance of finding the truth.

Besides,

Nüwa also understood that Lei Jun had surely left some things unsaid.

But that did not matter.

She only needed to raise her cultivation.

Fortunately,

this place could be said to be filled with opportunities everywhere!

She could casually pick up a book, and it would record a kind of Dao Principles rather than a Dharma Gate!

And she could learn it directly!

This was far easier than comprehending the Heavenly Dao.

The key was,

there were so many Hunyuan experts in the courtyard.

She could ask them for guidance!

"But it is still best to choose one's own 'Dao'!"

Nüwa murmured softly.

She quickly made up her mind.

"There are many Daos here, but only the Dao of Creation suits me best!"

"This is what they mean by..."

"Of the Three Thousand Great Daos, choosing only one!"

There were many methods of attaining the Dao.

Some were like Lei Jun, who transformed one Dao into ten thousand Daos.

Others focused on a single Dao.

Of course,

the difficulty differed between these two methods.

Although they ultimately led to the same destination,

before reaching the ultimate realm, the former was still somewhat more formidable.

After the thought of seeking the Dao of Creation arose,

a response appeared

in Nüwa's heart.

"That's right!"

"It's here!"

Nüwa exclaimed in delight.

Because this response was almost exactly the same as the opportunity she had sensed before coming here.

In other words,

this response should be the greatest gain she would obtain from coming here.

It was also...

the greatest creation.

Before long,

a Jade Tablet wreathed in hazy rosy light—or one could call it a book—quietly floated out from the bookshelf and hovered before Nüwa.

"This is... the Book of Creation!"

"It contains the Dao of Creation!"

Even before touching the Jade Tablet itself, Nüwa could sense the dense aura of creation within it.

It resonated with the Dao she cultivated.

She reached out again,

placed the Jade Tablet in her palm, and examined it carefully.

She could not help feeling even more shocked.

Not only because of the laws it contained,

but also because the tablet itself was extraordinary.

"This..."

"It's actually an Innate Supreme Treasure?"

"Hiss~"

At once,

Nüwa drew in a sharp breath, finding it even more unbelievable.

Regarding Lei Jun's cultivation,

she formed yet another judgment.

Because when she looked around,

there was not merely one such Jade Tablet.

There were many of them!

Each one contained a different "Dao."

This place could be said to contain a Supreme Treasure.

In other words...

there was an entire floor of Innate Supreme Treasures here?

But this time,

Nüwa quickly regained her composure.

She did not want to be like before,

unable to recover for half a day.

After all...

there were even so many Hunyuan cultivators here. With so many Supreme Treasures, what was there to be surprised about?

But to say that this was normal still seemed somewhat exaggerated.

A courtyard full of Hunyuan cultivators.

Together with an entire floor of Supreme Treasures.

If any cultivator from the Primordial Wilderness came here, they probably would not be able to believe it.

For a moment,

Nüwa felt somewhat fortunate again.

"Fortunately, I chose the opportunity instead of going to Heaven Beyond Heaven."

"Otherwise,"

"where would I have found such a creation?"

As Nüwa sighed, her thoughts gradually drifted away.

She even began thinking of Heaven Beyond Heaven.

She wondered...

"What gains did those fellow Daoists who went to Heaven Beyond Heaven obtain?"

"Can they compare with what is here?"

"No!"

"Rather, can they even compare with a corner of this place?"

"I'm afraid not!"

As she thought about it,

Nüwa smiled.

"I came to the right place!"
