"You're not trying to gain the support of that Earthly Dao at all. You simply want to win Houtu and Xuan Ming over, don't you?"
"Fine!"
"I admit that I do like Houtu and Xuan Ming, but I truly do want the Earthly Dao's help. The Great Desolation has the Heavenly, Earthly, and Human Daos. The Heavenly Dao awakened first, but for some reason, it developed its own consciousness."
"Holy Mother, do you know what the Heavenly, Earthly, and Human Daos are?"
Nüwa pondered for a moment before slowly replying, "I know a little about the Heavenly Dao, but I know nothing of the Human Dao or Earthly Dao."
"The Heavenly Dao governs the order of the Great Desolation, the Earthly Dao governs the reincarnation of living beings, and the Human Dao governs all beings between heaven and earth."
"The Heavenly Dao wants to monopolize control over the Great Desolation, so it plotted a series of schemes with Hongjun. They had already begun planning from the very moment the Great Desolation came into being."
"If we do not wish to perish in their schemes, the only way is to help the Earthly Dao and Human Dao awaken. This is currently the best solution."
"But why would Teacher plot all this? With his current strength, no one in the entire Great Desolation is his match. Why would he still help the Heavenly Dao do such things?"
"Have you forgotten what I told Houtu before?"
"Hongjun was one of the Three Thousand Chaos Gods and Demons. Back when Pangu opened the heavens, he destroyed Hongjun's physical body. Naturally, Hongjun wanted revenge."
"In truth, Hongjun did not only scheme against the Witch Race. The dragon, phoenix, and qilin clans of ancient times were also plotted against by him. Of course, it was not only the Three Ancient Clans he plotted against. You and the Three Pure Ones were also part of his schemes."
Ling Wudao then revealed all of Hongjun's schemes.
After hearing Ling Wudao's account, Nüwa's heart was already filled with boundless fury.
"Damn it! I never expected my opportunity to be taken from me like this. The enmity of blocking one's path is irreconcilable. I will go demand an explanation from that old dog Hongjun."
"What use would it be for you to go now? Do not forget that you are currently a Heavenly Dao Saint. You have absolutely no chance of defeating Hongjun."
"If you want to fight Hongjun, you must give up your position as a Heavenly Dao Saint. Can you bear to do that?"
"What is there to regret? A Heavenly Dao Saint Position is nothing more than a puppet."
"You said before that becoming a Heavenly Dao Saint was the lowest path. Then there is nothing wrong with me abandoning it."
"What courage. As expected of the Holy Mother of our human race. Since that is so, I will help you, though now is not the right time."
"The human race has yet to fully develop. If you abandon your position as a Heavenly Dao Saint now, you will certainly draw retaliation from Taiqing and Yuanshi."
"Nüwa Empress, remain here and watch over the human race for now. I need to travel through the Great Desolation. The human race currently needs a great deal of cultivation resources, so I must obtain some."
Upon hearing this, Nüwa fell silent for a while.
Then, a mischievous smile appeared on her face.
"Wudao, traveling through the Great Desolation may not necessarily get you any good resources. I have an idea. You might as well hear it."
"What good idea? Hurry and tell me."
"We can do this, and then this...!"
Damn! Nüwa's idea was truly excellent. Not only would it save me the trouble of searching for cultivation resources, but I could also obtain a great number of magic treasures and other valuable things.
"This idea is indeed good!"
"Holy Mother, then I will go find trouble with them right away. Hehe!"
"No rush. I am somewhat worried about letting you go alone."
As soon as she finished speaking, she summoned her Good Corpse. "Guard Shouyang Mountain. Aside from the Witch Race, drive away any living being that approaches the human race or Shouyang Mountain."
"Yes, true self!"
"Alright, Wudao. Let us go together!"
"Oh, and do not call me Holy Mother or Empress anymore. Just call me by my name."
With that, Nüwa reached out and grabbed Ling Wudao by the shoulder. With a whoosh, the two vanished from the main hall of Nüwa Palace.
When they reappeared, they had already arrived invisibly above Nine Immortals Mountain.
"This is where Yuanshi's eldest disciple has his cave abode. We will sneak into his cave abode shortly and take all his treasures."
"Alright, but invisibility alone will not suffice. We also need to conceal all traces of our heavenly secrets."
After saying that, Ling Wudao took out two Golden Talismans. "These are Heaven Concealing Talismans. They can conceal all of our heavenly secrets."
Nüwa looked at the talismans in Ling Wudao's hand, immediately picked one up, and poured her Mana into it. Buzz!
The talisman trembled slightly before slowly merging into her body.
Ling Wudao did the same. Once the two had concealed all their heavenly secrets, mischievous smiles unconsciously appeared on their faces.
"Let's go!"
Nüwa tightly gripped Ling Wudao's shoulder, then used a spatial shifting technique. In the blink of an eye, they silently arrived at Guang Chengzi's cave abode.
"Wudao, let us split up and see where Guang Chengzi keeps his treasures."
"Hehe, understood!"
The two immediately began searching. After a thorough search, they looted every treasure within Guang Chengzi's cave abode.
"Nüwa, all the treasures here have already been looted. It is time to change targets."
"Wait. We still need to frame the Two Sages of the West. When Yuanshi goes to cause trouble for them, we can take the opportunity to steal the treasures of Mount Sumeru as well."
"Then how do you plan to frame the Two Sages of the West?"
Nüwa took out a Sarira. "We can use this. Previously, western disciples came to the East looking for handouts, so I gave them a harsh lesson. This was the compensation they offered at the time."
"We will use this to frame them. In any case, they have done plenty of this sort of thing before."
Holy shit! This woman was truly devious. She had even thought of such a scheme to frame others. But I liked it. Hehe!
"A Sarira would work, but how many do you have? If you do not have many, it will be difficult to pin this on those two bald bastards."
"I have more than twenty. That is enough to frame them."
After saying that, Nüwa directly tossed a Sarira onto the ground, then left Nine Immortals Mountain with Ling Wudao.
After the two left Nine Glory Mountain, Nüwa said, "The next place is Taihua Mountain, Chi Jingzi's cave abode. Let us go!"
Afterward, Nüwa and Ling Wudao used the same method to plunder every treasure belonging to Yuanshi's disciples.
At this moment, the two arrived invisibly above Kunlun Mountain. "Nüwa, next are the Daoist grounds of Yuanshi and Taiqing. We will steal Yuanshi's treasures first, then go to Taiqing's Daoist ground."
Nüwa nodded. "Alright, then let us act!"
"Wait. Yuanshi's treasures are certainly protected by a great formation. If we use spatial shifting, we may be discovered. We should use this instead."
As he spoke, Ling Wudao took out a Space Shuttle Talisman.
"This is a Space Shuttle Talisman. It can allow us to enter Yuanshi's treasure vault without making a sound."
