Confidence and Hospitality

What did Nuwa and Fuxi matter?

They were Top-Tier Innate Divines, and so was he. Moreover, he had three independent Dao Bodies, each with the foundation of a Top-Tier Innate Divine.

Their cultivation had only reached Taiyi Golden Immortal Perfection, while his true body had long since broken through to the Middle Great Firmament Golden Immortal realm, and his three Dao Bodies were all Great Firmament Golden Immortals in the Early Stage.

Given his current circumstances, coupled with the advantage of foresight, he might not be unable to attain the Hunyuan Great Firmament in the future, nor might he be unable to attain the Dao and become a Sage. He might not necessarily be inferior to Nuwa.

Of course, though Yuan Yan believed he would not be inferior to Nuwa in the future, he did not put on an overbearing airs merely because he was a Great Firmament Golden Immortal.

He knew clearly that although his cultivation far surpassed theirs now, after a thousand Yuanhui, or several thousand or tens of thousands of Yuanhui, their cultivation time would be much the same. His advantage of being born and cultivating over a hundred Yuanhui earlier than them would amount to nothing.

Even if his cultivation remained ahead of theirs, he could not possibly maintain such a gap as he had now.

Besides, no one could say what the future held. If he attained the Hunyuan Great Firmament or became a Sage in the future, he could not possibly make enemies of all Sages. He would need allies as well, and Nuwa was undoubtedly the best candidate.

After all, once he attained the Dao and became a Sage or attained the Hunyuan Great Firmament, the only ones worthy of forming an alliance with him would be the Three Pure Ones. Excluding the Three Pure Ones, the only people who could ally with him would be Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti.

Although he admired Jieyin and Zhunti for being able to cast aside their pride, as well as for the efforts and sacrifices they had made to revive the West, he had no desire whatsoever to become their ally. Otherwise, he would not even know when they might sell him out.

While thinking this, Yuan Yan did not neglect proper etiquette. He cupped his hands in return and said, "Yuan Yan greets you both, fellow Daoists. Please forgive me for intruding!"

"It is nothing. You are no bother! Do you dare enter and speak with us?" Nuwa asked with a faintly teasing smile.

"Why would I not dare?" Yuan Yan replied calmly.

Nuwa and Fuxi knew he was a Great Firmament Golden Immortal, yet they still dared to open the Primordial Formation and face him directly. Was he supposed to fear entering the formation?

Of course, Yuan Yan dared to enter mainly because he had absolute confidence in himself.

Indeed, under Nuwa and Fuxi's control, the protective formation of their birthplace could withstand a Perfected Great Firmament Golden Immortal.

If one were trapped within it, even a Late Great Firmament Golden Immortal might face mortal danger.

However, their cultivation was too low. They were only at Taiyi Golden Immortal Perfection, and he was confident that he could severely injure or even kill them before they made a move.

Even if he failed, he still possessed the Nine Heavens Breath Soil, a Supreme-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, as well as a physical body and primordial spirit nearly as strong as Mid-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures. He had the means to protect himself.

So long as he found the right opportunity and self-destructed one or two Low-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, he could easily break free, perhaps even shatter the Primordial Formation.

With sufficient confidence, he naturally had nothing to fear!

"Good! Since that is so, please come in, fellow Daoist. We shall certainly entertain you properly!" Nuwa smiled radiantly and stepped forward. She walked out of the Primordial Formation ahead of Fuxi, leading Yuan Yan inside.

Within the Primordial Formation lay a vast pure land, filled with all manner of rare flowers and exotic herbs. The Innate Spiritual Qi was so dense it nearly liquefied, while Dao Rhyme Spiritual Essence flourished there, profound and mysterious. It truly was a rare top-tier Blessed Land.

However, at the center of this pure land, there were only two meditation cushions woven from tranquil heart grass and nothing else. It was rather plain.

It could not compare to his own birthplace, where countless palaces, towers, pavilions, and terraces stood scattered like stars. Golden tiles and glazed roofs gleamed beneath the sun; jade steps and exquisite railings stretched without end; dragons and phoenixes coiled around carved beams; magnificent halls towered into the clouds; covered walkways and winding corridors crisscrossed and connected; rainbow bridges spanned the sky; colorful clouds formed stairways; immortal mist drifted between the buildings, appearing and vanishing like an illusion. It was like the Heavenly Palace.

Well, it truly had been built in imitation of the Heavenly Palace from his memories.

However, at the time, he had only been a Great Firmament Golden Immortal in the Early Stage. He had not had enough time to study artifact refinement or formations. Most of it was merely for show, and it could not be interconnected into a vast formation capable of gathering and refining Innate Spiritual Qi and Dao Rhyme Spiritual Essence.

At this moment, Nuwa and Fuxi followed Yuan Yan's gaze toward the two cushions, and they could not help feeling somewhat embarrassed, especially Nuwa.

She had said that she would entertain Yuan Yan properly, yet this was simply too shabby. It was practically a slap in her own face.

However, Nuwa recovered in an instant. So long as she was not embarrassed, it was someone else who would be embarrassed.

Of course, when facing a Great Firmament Golden Immortal, she still needed to show sufficient respect.

Nuwa lightly raised her hand and plucked several flowers and herbs from among the many rare plants, instantly weaving them into a meditation cushion.

Though it was of no use to a Great Firmament Golden Immortal, Nuwa had already used the finest materials available.

Next, she summoned spiritual jade of various colors. She paved the ground with warm white jade, carved pavilions from multicolored spiritual stones, and fashioned tables from noble purple crystals. She also transplanted several rare flowers and exotic herbs around them, complementing the scene perfectly. It possessed a natural beauty that seemed born of creation itself.

Looking at her handiwork, Nuwa nodded in satisfaction. With just a slight display of her skill, she had transformed two crude cushions into something dazzlingly beautiful. As expected of her! She would surely create even more beautiful things in the future.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan Yan, please," Fuxi said, gesturing for him to proceed.

The three entered the pavilion and took their seats in a triangular arrangement. Nuwa took out eighteen Innate spiritual fruits and placed them upon the table.

"Come, fellow Daoist Yuan Yan. Taste the Innate spiritual fruits we have here."

Fuxi said warmly, extending a hand to invite Yuan Yan to try the Innate spiritual fruits on the jade platter.

"You two are truly blessed. Your Daoist grounds have actually nurtured a Mid-Grade Innate Spiritual Root and a Low-Grade Innate Spiritual Root."

Yuan Yan did not stand on ceremony. He picked up a Primordial Vermilion Fruit, examined it briefly, then directly placed it in his mouth. The fruit melted as soon as it entered, releasing a warm current. Its flavor was indeed quite good.

However, the Primordial Vermilion Fruit was merely the fruit of a Mid-Grade Innate Spiritual Root, and it was not even from the first harvest. It was of little use to Yuan Yan.

Its ability to replenish and strengthen his vitality and blood, as well as raise his cultivation, was entirely useless to him. As for the laws of blood, fire, and pure Yang contained within it, they did provide him with a slight benefit, allowing his comprehension of the Law of Blood, which had long since reached the major mastery stage, to become complete.

"Not at all, not at all." Nuwa and Fuxi's lips curved slightly, their eyes gentle and their smiles serene. Still, they eagerly introduced the Primordial Vermilion Fruit to Yuan Yan, carrying a hint of self-praise.

"You two truly think highly of me, bringing out all the fruits borne by both Innate Spiritual Roots to entertain me."

"It is rare in life to find a kindred spirit. I hope you will not laugh at me for saying this, fellow Daoist, but the moment I saw you, I felt as though I had met you too late," Fuxi said with a refined smile.

He was not saying it casually. Yuan Yan had taken form from the Primordial Gourd Vine and possessed the primordial origins of Innate Yin-Yang and the Five Elements.

Nuwa and Fuxi, meanwhile, were respectively born from Innate Lesser Yin and Innate Lesser Yang Qi. This was closely related to Yin-Yang, and when they saw one another, the pull between their origins naturally made them feel close and favorably disposed toward each other.

This was also one reason Nuwa had invited Yuan Yan inside to speak from the beginning. The moment they saw him, their primordial origins had already given rise to considerable goodwill.
