The Origins of Fuxi and Nuwa (4/10)
"To my shame, I originally intended to explore the Western Land, but upon seeing the conflict between the Qilin Clan and Phoenix Clan there, I turned back immediately."
After several rounds of drinks, Eastern King Duke began to chat with Wu Chu and the others about their recent travels.
It can be said that over the past tens of thousands of years, he has traveled from east to north, and then from north to west, covering almost half of the Primordial Land. Finally, he traveled from the Western Land all the way east, passing through Mount Buzhou, the spine of the world, and then to his own Purple Jade Mountain, truly having traveled all over the world.
"Fellow Daoist, have you ever been to Kunlun Mountain?" Wu Chu asked.
The Eastern King Duke smiled and said, "I have also traveled to the Kunlun Territory and inquired about some fellow Daoists cultivating there. However, I don't know why those three Daoists from Kunlun Mountain East Kunlun have refused to see anyone; I have been unable to meet them..."
Wu Chu chuckled to himself upon hearing this: Ha... those Three Kunlun Brothers are now fulfilling their promise to the Qilin Clan, Epoch!
"What about West Kunlun?" Wu Chu asked again.
Eastern King Duke chuckled, "It seems that although Fellow Daoist Bu Bu claims to be a hermit Mountain Recluse Who Never Leaves, you actually know quite a bit about the powerful Daoists in the world!"
After taking a sip of the spirit wine, Eastern King Duke paused, then continued, "On the West Kunlun, I did indeed encounter a powerful fellow Daoist, and even tasted a kind of spiritual fruit..."
The Eastern King Duke recounted how he met the Queen Mother of the West in the West Kunlun, discussed Daoism with Queen Mother of the West at the Heavenly Lake atop the West Kunlun, and tasted the West Kunlun specialty, the Flat Peach.
After listening, Wu Chu took out his own book, "Records of Mountains and Seas," and handed it to Eastern King Duke, explaining, "This is a collection of records of what I have seen and heard by some fellow Daoists during their travels in the Primordial World. I wonder if I could also include what fellow Daoist Shaoyang has seen and heard along the way to enrich this book?"
Upon hearing this, the Eastern King Duke laughed heartily and said, "Why not! It would be my honor!"
As he spoke, he flipped through the book "Records of Mountains and Seas" compiled by Wu Chu, only to find that he couldn't understand it at all, because it was written in pictographic characters that he had never seen before.
Therefore, Wu Chu explained the commonly used pictographs to the Eastern King Duke. Fortunately, the Eastern King Duke was also a powerful expert at the Daluo Realm, so memorizing those characters was a piece of cake.
Then, as he watched, he gradually became engrossed, even comparing his observations with what he had seen and heard. After these accounts, Wu Chu would add a sentence, such as, "This story comes from Fellow Qingqiu," or "This account comes from Fellow Daoist Hongyun," or even "This account comes from a powerful Dragon Clan who wishes to remain anonymous," and so on.
Among the things that Eastern King Duke had read through, he had already seen the titles of several powerful figures that he had heard of before, as well as some that he had never heard of before.
However, in his opinion, those names that Wu Chu included here should not be ordinary beings. For example, there are 'Fellow Daoist Zhurong,' 'Fellow Daoist Dijiang,' 'Fellow Daoist Xuanming,' and so on.
Eastern King Duke silently counted and found that there were eleven Ancestral Witch with different titles, one of whom was none other than Fellow Houtu.
It is evident that the Witch Clan also possesses ten powerful individuals with cultivation levels equal to Houtu.
Unfortunately, during this journey around the world, I didn't encounter Witch Tribe, and I don't know where the Daoist Temple of these powerful figures are located.
The Ancestral Witch Torch Dragon, who did not appear in the records, was actually the 'Dragon Clan Powerful Who Did Not Want to Reveal His Name,' Wu Chu could not reveal his Ancestral Witch identity.
Therefore, in the view of the Eastern King Duke, there were only eleven Ancestral Witch.
After helping Wu Chu enrich the "Records of Mountains and Seas and Houtu", Eastern King Duke once again discussed the Dao with Nuwa, Houtu, and Qingqiu Li.
Back in West Kunlun, the Queen Mother of the West Eastern King Duke a great deal from his discussions with the Queen Mother of the Queen Mother of the West was entirely because one of them was born with the first wisp of Innate yang energy, and the other with the first wisp of Innate yin energy. This yin and yang complemented each other perfectly.
For a fleeting moment, he even considered becoming a Daoist couple with the Queen Mother of the West.
However, he quickly suppressed this thought. After all, they had only met for the first time, and there would be plenty of opportunities to think things through later.
However, during his discussions with Nuwa, this sense of complementarity became even stronger for Eastern King Duke, which puzzled him somewhat. Why was this?
For decades, the Dao Resonance has permeated Purple Jade Mountain, causing countless beings to involuntarily fall into a state of enlightenment within this flowing Dao.
Wu Chu was also taking the opportunity to comprehend the Dao, because he discovered that he could hardly feel the Great Dao fluctuations he once had in these Dao Resonance, and it was very easy for him to enter a state of enlightenment.
After Fuxi finished crafting a Spirit Treasure, he also joined the discussion. Then, Eastern King Duke gradually understood what that feeling of perfection he had been experiencing was.
Although he was born with Innate yang energy and boasted of his outstanding background, he was clearly inferior to Fuxi and Nuwa, who were obviously more powerful than him.
What could be more powerful than the first wisp of Innate yang energy?
Eastern King Duke easily thought of Primordial Chaos.
Although there is no distinction between Yin Yang in the Primordial Chaos, nothing is absolute in the world; otherwise, so many gods and demons would not have been born from the Primordial Chaos.
He suspected that Fuxi and Nuwa were the two energies of Yin Yang that were conceived from Primordial Chaos, and this feeling became more pronounced after Fuxi joined the discussion.
However, seeing the way Fuxi and Nuwa exchanged glances, Eastern King Duke suddenly thought of Queen Mother of the West, and a certain string in his heart was quietly plucked.
With Fuxi joining the discussion, the Dao between them collided even more violently, frequently emitting the Voice of the Great Dao. For a time, strange phenomena appeared in the world on Purple Jade Mountain.
As the Great Dao Order collided, the Yin Yang and yang energies evolved, and as the Dao Resonance flowed, a scene of Primordial Chaos and uncertainty, where Yin Yang were indistinguishable, faintly emerged in this world.
This was of extraordinary help to Wu Chu, allowing him to capture a trace of inspiration from the transformation of the Five Elements into Yin Yang within this Dao Resonance.
This kind of change is contained within the very origin of the Five Elements Dao.
Their discussions on the Dao, along with the insights gained afterward, lasted for over a thousand years. In this flow of Dao Resonance, Wu Chu also attained enlightenment for a millennium.
This feeling is very mysterious, as if it were a dream of a thousand years.
When Wu Chu came to his senses from this profound mystery, the flowing Dao Resonance and the strange phenomena that had appeared between heaven and earth had disappeared, and many beings who were immersed in enlightenment gradually awoke.
This includes people like Little Moon Spirit and the Little Fox who went into seclusion early on.
Upon seeing Little Moon Spirit and Little Cai Niang emerge from seclusion, Eastern King Duke burst into laughter. "I had originally intended to go back into seclusion after this enlightenment, my only regret being that I hadn't been able to taste Yueling Purple Jade Mountain. I never expected that Yueling would emerge from seclusion so soon; it seems that Heaven has taken pity on us!"
Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.
