Chapter 50: Nuwa visits as a guest, Tongtian

The Four Saints were heading to the Palace of the Empress Wa, demanding 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 in the Jade Void Palace and did not carry it with him, so he couldn't say who had been listed.

Taishang Laojun's eyes were deep.

"With the Great Calamity at hand and the calamity energy already rising, let nature take its course."

Yuanshi Tianzun didn't think about it anymore, and the four continued on their way, arriving at the Palace of the Empress Wa before long.

Logically speaking, with the abilities of a Saint, Nuwa should have known they were on their way to the Palace of the Empress Wa, but she had been slow to respond, so Taishang Laojun spoke up.

"Junior sister Nuwa, the four of us have come to discuss something."

At this moment, Jin Ning came out of the Palace of the Empress Wa and walked up, her expression respectful.

"Jin Ning greets the four Saints."

Because Jin Ning was a phoenix, although she had transformed into a human form with brows 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 really a coincidence, the Empress is not in the Palace of the Empress Wa."

"Not here?"

Several people scanned with their Saint consciousness 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 Sovereign of the human race."

They knew the relationship between Nuwa and Fuxi; after all, they were from the same period, so they couldn't say anything about Nuwa going to see Fuxi.

Seeing the different expressions of the Four Saints.

Jin Ning spoke up.

"The Empress seems to have known 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 little friend to convey?"

"Empress Nuwa said that she will not easily get involved in the world. The Zhaoge incident was a response to a certain matter. As long as no one tries to plot against the Empress in the future, the Empress will not interfere in human affairs again."

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

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

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

The Daoist Jieyin stepped forward, his hands clasped 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 put the common people first and not create extra complications."

"Saint Jieyin, rest assured, I will inform the Empress." Jin Ning was unhappy in her heart, but since they were Saints in front of her, she had to say: "Do the several Saints have anything else?"

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

Taishang Laojun said this, and 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 for her."

Jin Ning frowned, her expression worried: "The Empress is alone and weak. If the Great God Fuxi could have become a Saint in the ancient times, it would have been good, and the Empress wouldn't have to retreat in everything."

Teng She sighed, looking somewhat helpless: "It's a pity that the Great God Fuxi was only a Quasi-Saint in the end, and he was also 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 the Empress Wa in this life, and he has no fate with being a Saint."

……

At this time.

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

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

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

"Killing Wei Hu this time means Jiang Ziya will have one less capable person to use when he goes down the mountain to invest 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 and elegant figure standing there, 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 salute.

"Gu Xiu greets 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 saw Gu Xiu was only a Heavenly Immortal, then a Golden Immortal, and now he was already a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

She said with great interest: "Little Gu, your cultivation has increased quite a bit 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 impatient is a good thing, but being too humble is not a good thing."

Nuwa didn't believe that it was just an opportunity that allowed Gu Xiu to improve so quickly, but this was Gu Xiu's fate, so she didn't ask much more.

Gu Xiu smiled: "Thank you for your teaching, disciple will keep it in mind. I wonder if you have anything to do with your sudden visit?"

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

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

He was just worried that Tongtian couldn't handle the Four Saints alone.

If he could get on good terms with Nuwa and have her help Tongtian at a critical moment, he wouldn't have to worry about the Four Saints joining forces to deal with Tongtian.

Nuwa's gaze swept across the surroundings, a smile 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 Tongtian doesn't pay any attention to the Investiture of the Gods, while you, as his grand-disciple, seem to be very concerned about it?"

Gu Xiu flatly denied it.

"Empress, you have misread. The disciple just happened to encounter those things and felt that the Chan Sect people were plotting against others everywhere, which was not right, 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 soft smile appeared on Nuwa's face, and waves of light flowed in her Saint eyes.

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

……

Biyou Palace.

Tongtian sat on the throne and frowned.

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

Nuwa lived a life of seclusion and had no sect, so he didn't pay much attention.

He thought she went to find the Three Xiao, but he didn't expect her to find Gu Xiu, which left him completely puzzled.

"Strange, why did junior sister Nuwa run to the Three Immortals Island to see a third-generation disciple?"

"When did this disciple that Yun Xiao accepted get involved with junior sister Nuwa?"

Tongtian's eyes were full of doubt.

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

"Junior sister Nuwa would not look for a third-generation disciple for no reason. It seems I should pay more attention to this grand-disciple in the future." ===== CHAPTER 51 =====
