A natural-born stone fetus, Fengxi Nüwa

Another day passed in the blink of an eye. The steel aircraft carrier that Li Xi and Subhūti were on sailed away from the Aolai Continent and headed to the Yin World Nether Spring, which was deeper in the East Sea. However, not long after they left, on Flower-Fruit Mountain in the Aolai Continent...

A short figure was climbing step by step, and soon reached the highest point of Flower-Fruit Mountain.

This is a sheer cliff.

Directly in front, you can see the boundless sea, while behind you lies a dense mountain forest.

"That bastard Subhūti... he definitely did it on purpose, didn't he?"

All that could be heard was the short figure complaining and panting heavily.

Only at this moment was his appearance fully exposed to the sunlight, revealing his youthful face.

The visitor was none other than Maitreya Buddha, who had been forcibly fed the mutated Ginseng Fruit by Xiluo.

After eating the Ginseng Fruit, Maitreya Buddha took Heavenly Timing to recover. Then he discovered that he had tragically reverted to a child's age, not only reverting to a child's appearance but also experiencing a significant drop in his power.

The Maitreya Buddha of today is simply a mortal with a long lifespan.

Just climbing up Flower-Fruit Mountain had exhausted all his strength.

But Maitreya Buddha dared not refuse to climb, and did not even dare to complain too much about the instigator.

After all, his current identity is not Maitreya Buddha, but the first disciple under the Cult Master Tongtian Sect Master.

Despite being the first disciple, Maitreya Buddha felt more like a convict sentenced to life imprisonment, needing Cult Master Tongtian's approval for everything he did.

Any transgression will immediately attract the attention of the Cult Master Tongtian.

It is said that this was a plan specially tailored for Maitreya Buddha by Xiluo, based on the methods used by the Dao Ancestor to restrain and educate Ghost God.

Therefore, Maitreya Buddha is no longer called Maitreya Buddha, but has been renamed "Duobao).

According to Xiluo's logic, only in this way could Maitreya Buddha completely forget his former identity and genuinely change. Maitreya Buddha had no right to express his opinion on this and could only silently accept the new name "Duobao".

Then, the first mission he accepted after changing his name was to come to Flower-Fruit Mountain in the Aolai Continent.

Before arriving in the Longbo Kingdom, Li Xi and Subhūti had informed Luo Qiao and Yao Xi of their purpose, so after the steel aircraft carrier departed, Duobao immediately began climbing Flower-Fruit Mountain.

Leaving aside the hardships and obstacles along the way, the journey to this point was arduous.

What troubled Duobao the most were the wild monkeys in the mountains.

Perhaps because they have lived in this area long enough, the monkeys have long since formed their own groups and have shown obvious hostility towards any outsiders.

Even after Duobao climbed Flower-Fruit Mountain, he could still see monkeys baring their teeth and celebrating in the forest behind him. "Is that what he left behind?"

Suddenly standing up straight, Duobao stopped with a complicated expression.

At the highest point of Flower-Fruit Mountain, where the essence of the earth converges, a towering boulder stands atop a cliff.

The boulder was perfectly round, standing 36 feet 5 inches tall, which corresponds to the number of days in the celestial sphere.

A circle with a circumference of 24 feet corresponds to the 24 solar terms.

Just standing quietly on that cliff, it receives a constant flow of the earth's essence and the essence of the sun and moon, giving one the feeling of breathing as if it were a living thing.

Perhaps it was due to its unique location, or perhaps it was influenced by the way it breathes.

Despite the fact that there were no trees to provide shade on any side of the boulder, clusters of orchids and magnolias inexplicably sprouted up.

Some have nine petals, some have seven; some are vibrant, some are simple...

Regardless of their variety, those orchids all seemed to possess a remarkable spiritual quality.

Occasionally, a sea breeze blows from the east, and you can see the orchids swaying in the wind.

When Duobao came to his senses and slowly approached the boulder, he saw its original appearance more clearly.

The boulder appeared perfectly round, but it was not a stubborn rock.

The surface of the boulder has nine orifices and eight holes, which extend inwards like meridians and acupoints throughout the entire structure, perfectly matching the formation of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams.

Most importantly, Duobao saw the glimmer of light that should have disappeared within it.

Ananda?

"No, you are not Ananda, you are that fake monkey."

A flicker of barely concealed astonishment crossed Duobao's eyes as he recalled the "Six Ears Beast" whose life he had forcibly prolonged.

However, this raises a new question.

If the aura inside this giant rock is indeed "Six Ears," then where are the real Six Ears?

Furthermore, wasn't Subhūti's trip to help Ananda with the aftermath?

Why was the "Six Ears '" spiritual power hidden inside this giant rock?

Many questions arose in his mind, and Duobao instinctively stepped forward to touch the boulder.

To Duobao's surprise, the boulder suddenly burst forth with five-colored light and rushed towards him without reservation.

Bang!

Because the attack happened so suddenly, Duobao had no idea he would be attacked and was instantly thrown several meters away.

"Molding Clay to Create Humans? Mediation of Creation?"

"Isn't Subhūti always known for being a jack-of-all-trades and master of none? When did he acquire this level of Divine Ability?"

"Wait... no, this is ' Breathing Spirit into Being '!"

With his pupils dilated in shock as he stared at the giant rock, Duobao immediately understood.

Both Ananda and the fake monkey died in the chaotic battle a few days ago.

Judging from the current outcome, "Six Ears" should be the final victor, which is why he left his aura in Flower-Fruit Mountain. Subhūti and another great Divine Ability being collected these remaining auras and intend to give them new life.

The giant rock before them was a naturally formed spiritual embryo, an "artificial womb" specially crafted for it by Li Xi.

"Judging from this... this boulder isn't actually a boulder at all..."

Thinking of this, Duobao decisively bit his finger and then lightly dabbed it twice on his eyelids.

In an instant, Duobao, who had become a mortal, regained a perspective that transcended dimensions, and could clearly see the essence of the boulder. It was a five-colored divine stone, a Divine Fetus forged from the Xirang.

"That's really... unexpected!"

"Now I understand why you wanted me to come here..."

"It seems I won't be able to go back for quite some time."

After a long silence, Duobao sighed with a wry smile.

Duobao initially prolonged the life of that fake monkey simply because he disliked Ananda's behavior and wanted to annoy him.

Incidentally, he also instructed Ananda not to interfere or cause trouble while he was fighting against the Pure Yang Primordial Spirit.

For someone whose strength reaches the level of Maitreya Buddha, his action was merely a casual gesture, not even worth mentioning. "Very well, since you were born because of me, then I will protect you to the end!"

"It just so happens that I also need to start my cultivation anew, and I need a stable place to practice."

Slowly getting up from the ground, Duobao turned to look at the Flower-Fruit Mountain behind him.

Deep in his mind, however, Duobao would still unconsciously recall the great Divine Ability being who wielded the power of creation and shaped this Divine Fetus. Because he knew very well that although [Xirang] was a building material that could be mass-produced in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range,

But only the legendary Nüwa was able to bring it to its fullest potential.

"The future Fengxi Clan..."

"In most timelines that have witnessed cataclysmic events, Empress Wa was determined to Molding Clay to Create Humans."
