Chapter 219

The Four Saints were heading to the Palace of Empress Nuwa to demand that Nuwa not interfere in the Investiture of the Gods.

Suddenly, Yuanshi Tianzun frowned.

Sensing something unusual, Taishang Laojun said: "Second Brother, what is it?"

"Eldest Brother, it seems another true spirit has been listed."

Yuanshi Tianzun had placed the Investiture of the Gods inside the Jade Void Palace and did not carry it with him, so he couldn't say who it was that had been listed.

Taishang Laojun's eyes were deep.

"With the Great Calamity at hand, the tribulation energy has already risen; let nature take its course."

Yuanshi Tianzun stopped thinking about it, and the four continued on their way, arriving at the Palace of Empress Nuwa before long.

Logically speaking, with the abilities of Saints, Nuwa should have known they were on their way to the Palace of Empress Nuwa, but she remained silent for a long time, so Taishang Laojun spoke up.

"Junior Sister Nuwa, we four have come to discuss something."

At this moment, Jin Ning came out from the Palace of Empress Nuwa, stepped forward, her expression respectful.

"Jin Ning pays respects to the four Saints."

Because Jin Ning was a phoenix, although her human form had eyebrows like new moons and a heroic spirit, Yuanshi Tianzun still snorted coldly and said nothing.

Taishang Laojun said: "Little friend Jin Ning, we have come to discuss something with Junior Sister Nuwa; please trouble yourself to announce us."

"Four Saints, it is truly unfortunate, but the Empress is not in the Palace of Empress Nuwa."

"Not here?"

Several people scanned with their Saint-sense and indeed did not feel Nuwa's aura.

"Little friend Jin Ning, do you know where Junior Sister Nuwa has gone?"

"The Empress has gone to the Fire Cloud Cave to see the Great God Fuxi, who is now the Human Emperor."

They knew of the relationship between Nuwa and Fuxi; after all, they were from the same era, so they had nothing to say about Nuwa going to see Fuxi.

Seeing the four Saints with different expressions.

Jin Ning spoke up.

"The Empress seemed to know that the four Saints were coming, so she left a few words for Jin Ning to convey."

This made Taishang Laojun puzzled: "I wonder what words Junior Sister Nuwa asked you to convey?"

"Empress Nuwa said that she will not easily involve herself in the world. The matter at Zhaoge was a response to a certain event. As long as no one tries to scheme against the Empress in the future, the Empress will not interfere in human affairs again."

Hearing this, the faces of Jieyin and Zhunti instantly turned black; this was clearly talking about them.

Yuanshi Tianzun snorted coldly, his face showing displeasure, clearly very dissatisfied with this matter, but since Nuwa hadn't stated it explicitly, he couldn't get angry.

Taishang Laojun stroked his beard, his expression indifferent, and he said nothing more.

Jieyin stepped forward, hands pressed together, his eyes filled with endless compassion.

"Please tell Junior Sister Nuwa that the Investiture of the Gods concerns whether the Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth can be eliminated; I hope she will prioritize the common people and not create extra complications."

"Saint Jieyin, rest assured, I will inform the Empress." Jin Ning was displeased in her heart, but since these were Saints in front of her, she could only say: "Do the several Saints have any other matters?"

"Little friend Jin Ning, we have disturbed you today."

After Taishang Laojun said this, the four Saints left together.

After the several Saints left, Teng She and Bai Xi came over.

Bai Xi said softly: "It seems that just as the Empress expected, the four Saints would come looking."

Jin Ning frowned, her expression worried: "The Empress is alone and weak; if only the Great God Fuxi could have become a Saint in the ancient times, the Empress wouldn't have to yield in everything."

Teng She sighed, looking somewhat helpless: "It is a pity that the Great God Fuxi ultimately only reached the Quasi-Saint level and was required to go to the Fire Cloud Cave to guard the fortune of the human race; he will never be able to return to the Palace of Empress Nuwa in this life, and he has no fate with Sainthood."

……

At this time.

The Three Immortals Island appeared and disappeared in the sea mist, surrounded by immortal energy, with spirit birds flying and spirit flowers blooming.

A stream of light was speeding from the outside toward the direction of Three Immortals Island.

It was Gu Xiu, who was rushing back from the outside, thinking about what had just happened along the way.

"Killing Wei Hu on this trip means Jiang Ziya will have one less capable person to use when he descends the mountain to conduct the Investiture of the Gods, which is beneficial to the Jie Sect."

"Later, Nezha will definitely come to stir up the sea again."

Gu Xiu fell into deep thought.

"At that time, I can offer help and sell the Dragon Clan a favor."

"Although the Dragon Clan is entangled in karma, I hear that dragon maidens are all very beautiful. After the Investiture of the Gods is over, using this opportunity to get to know a few dragon maidens wouldn't be bad."

Returning to his residence, he saw a graceful figure with an elegant posture, while Yang Chan stood to the side, her expression respectful.

Looking closely, Gu Xiu was shocked; it was actually Nuwa who had arrived.

He stepped forward quickly to pay his respects.

"Gu Xiu pays respects to Empress Nuwa."

Nuwa's eyes were like stars, her gaze falling on Gu Xiu, with a bit of scrutiny and expectation in her eyes. Before, she had seen Gu Xiu as only a Celestial Immortal, then a Golden Immortal, and now he was already a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

She said with great interest: "Little Gu, your cultivation has grown rapidly recently."

"Thank you for your concern, Empress. I encountered some opportunities recently, which is why I have had this meager improvement."

"Not being arrogant or rash is a good thing, but being overly humble is not."

Nuwa didn't believe that opportunities alone could allow Gu Xiu to improve so quickly, but this was Gu Xiu's fate, so she didn't ask further.

Gu Xiu smiled: "Thank you for your teachings, Empress, I will keep them in mind. I wonder if you have any matters for visiting suddenly?"

"I asked Yang Chan to go to Zhaoge to convey my decree, and the Four Saints would definitely come to the Palace of Empress Nuwa to find me. I don't want to see them, and since Yang Chan happens to be here with you, I just came over here to take a walk and relax." Nuwa's tone was gentle and indifferent.

Gu Xiu felt a chill in his heart and hurriedly replied: "It is truly the disciple's honor that you can come here, Empress. You can stay as long as you like."

He had been worrying that Tong Tian alone couldn't handle the Four Saints.

If he could get on good terms with Nuwa and have her help Tong Tian at a critical moment, then he wouldn't have to fear the Four Saints joining forces against Tong Tian.

Nuwa's gaze swept across the surroundings, a smile playing on her face.

"I will stay here for a few days and go back after the Four Saints leave. However, I observe that Senior Brother Tong Tian doesn't pay any attention to the Investiture of the Gods, while you, as his grand-disciple, seem to take it very much to heart?"

Gu Xiu flatly denied it.

"Empress, you have misunderstood. The disciple just happened to encounter those things and felt that it was not right for the people of the Chan Sect to scheme against others everywhere, so I intervened. My grand-master doesn't care about the Investiture of the Gods, so why should I, a grand-disciple with little influence, care?"

A gentle smile appeared on Nuwa's face, ripples flowing in her Saintly eyes.

"The Investiture of the Gods is a matter for your three sects. My intervention this time was to repay your favor; I will not intervene again next time."

……

Biyou Palace.

Tong Tian sat on the throne, frowning.

He already knew that Nuwa had arrived at Three Immortals Island.

Nuwa lived a life of non-contention and had not established a sect, so he hadn't paid much attention.

He thought she had gone to find the Three Xiao Sisters; he hadn't expected her to go find Gu Xiu, which left him completely puzzled.

"Strange, why did Junior Sister Nuwa run to Three Immortals Island to see a third-generation disciple?"

"When did this disciple that Yun Xiao took in get involved with Junior Sister Nuwa?"

Tong Tian's eyes were full of doubt.

He always felt there was a layer of mystery about Gu Xiu that even a Saint couldn't see through.

"Junior Sister Nuwa wouldn't look for a third-generation disciple without reason. It seems I must pay more attention to this grand-disciple in the future."
