Chapter 74: Discussing the Investiture of the Gods with Nuwa

Three Immortals Island.

Clouds swirled and immortal energy permeated.

While Gu Xiu and Nuwa were chatting, Nuwa suddenly changed the subject.

"Gu kid, do you know why I came here this time?"

Gu Xiu was calm, his handsome face carrying a bit of modesty: "This disciple does not know."

Nuwa's demeanor was elegant, and her whole body radiated a transcendent temperament.

Hearing Gu Xiu's answer, she didn't rush to reply. She flicked her sleeves lightly, picked up the tea Yang Chan had poured for her, and her every move showed nobility and composure.

"After returning, I let Jin Ning go to the mortal world to investigate. The Chan Sect's layout for the Investiture of the Gods should have been for thousands of years. Even I was almost schemed into it. Logically speaking, they should be holding the winning ticket, but many plans have been accurately destroyed."

Speaking of this, Nuwa raised her eyes to look at Gu Xiu.

"It should be you kid who did it, right?"

Asked again last time, didn't expect to be asked again. Being stared at by a Saint made Gu Xiu a little panicked.

"Nuwa, all this is a coincidence, how could this disciple have such great ability."

Nuwa examined Gu Xiu and found that the Golden Wheel of Merit behind him was even brighter.

"This disciple respectfully says, the Grandmaster once said that the calamity energy is filling the heaven and earth, and the secrets of heaven are shielded. Perhaps this is the reason why you can't calculate it."

"The secrets of heaven related to the Investiture of the Gods are indeed shielded, but calculating your origin is not among them." Nuwa said slowly.

These words stunned Gu Xiu, and his brain was spinning fast, thinking about what reason to find to prevaricate.

Now the calamity energy is filling the air, and the Saints cannot deduce the matters related to the Investiture of the Gods. Nuwa is very curious about how Gu Xiu knew about things that even Saints cannot deduce, but she didn't expect Gu Xiu's mouth to be so tight.

Her gaze stared tightly at Gu Xiu, trying to see a clue from his expression, but Gu Xiu's face was calm and flawless.

After being silent for a moment, Nuwa smiled lightly: "Forget it, I'm just curious about how you knew what the Chan Sect was going to do. If you kid don't want to say it, I won't force you, but the changes in this world are becoming more and more elusive."

Gu Xiu let out a sigh of relief.

He had already informed Nuwa that the Four Saints joined forces to scheme against her and pull her into the game.

He didn't beat around the bush anymore and asked directly.

"Nuwa, suddenly caring about the Investiture of the Gods, in your opinion, how can my Jie Sect win the Investiture of the Gods in the hands of the Four Saints?"

Nuwa was silent for a moment and pondered slightly.

"The matter of the Investiture of the Gods involves a wide range, and the karma in it is afraid that it is difficult to clarify. Although Tong Tian has the Four Swords of Immortal Execution, the Four Saints can break it. If the Four Saints enter the game, the situation is not optimistic."

This was also what Gu Xiu was worried about. No matter how strong his strategy was, how he laid out the plan.

Once Taiqing Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, and the Western Two Saints don't want face and enter the game to bully the small with the big.

These disciples of theirs simply couldn't resist, and Tong Tian alone couldn't do it, so he had always wanted to win over Nuwa.

Thinking about it, he gathered his courage and opened his mouth: "What if the Goddess is willing to help my Grandmaster?"

Nuwa smiled, a smile with a deep meaning that was hard to figure out.

"I knew you kid had no good intentions, but I have no reason to participate in the affairs of your three sects. The Investiture of the Gods was formulated by the Dao Ancestor. With your intelligence, you should have thought of this long ago, so I won't say much."

Gu Xiu didn't find it strange that Nuwa would refuse. She really had no reason to help the Jie Sect.

But talking to him calmly about these things showed that there was still a chance.

He pondered in his heart.

He had to talk about topics Nuwa was interested in, so that Nuwa could see his value.

Otherwise, just knowing the secrets of heaven and having many opportunities on his body would only make the other party interested in him, which was not enough to make Nuwa help.

It was just that the other party was a Saint, and it was difficult to have things that the other party could look at.

Thinking about it, Gu Xiu planned to talk to Nuwa about the Zixiao Palace.

The system suddenly released a mission.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the Host, triggered a special mission, discuss the Dao with Nuwa, please make a choice in time, Host."

"Option 1: Ask Nuwa for advice on the Dao of Da Luo. Reward: Da Luo Dao Fruit! (Take and refine it to directly prove the Dao of Da Luo, safe and worry-free)."

"Option 2: Discuss the Zixiao Palace with Nuwa and ask for her views on the three methods of becoming a Saint. Reward: A strand of Hongmeng Purple Qi! (Exclusive item for becoming a Heavenly Dao Saint)."

"Option 3: Discuss the Zixiao Palace, ask for her views on the three methods of becoming a Saint, and then discuss the Great Dao of Creation. Reward: A Great Dao Storybook! (Can write stories for Jiang Ziya at any time, the story will be sent to Jiang Ziya, saving the Host two trips, convenient for writing stories for Jiang Ziya to read at any time.)"

Gu Xiu looked at the three options.

Although they were all good things, only the reward of the first option could be used.

The second option, rewarding Hongmeng Purple Qi, would bind him to this world once used.

With the system, Gu Xiu's vision was no longer limited to this world, so he would definitely not choose it.

As for the third option, the Great Dao Storybook, it was a good thing, so it would be very convenient to trick Jiang Ziya, without having to make two trips from the East Sea to Mount Kunlun.

But there was one point that Gu Xiu was very dissatisfied with. If the storybook was bound to Yun Xiao or some female disciples of the Jie Sect, how good would that be.

Silently choosing the third option in his heart, Gu Xiu laughed loudly.

"Nuwa, let's not talk about the Investiture of the Gods for now, let's talk about other things."

Nuwa smiled indifferently, very curious about what Gu Xiu wanted to do again.

"Gu kid, what do you want to talk about?"

Gu Xiu had a gentle smile on his face and said modestly: "This disciple has always been curious about the time when the Dao Ancestor preached to all living beings in the ancient times. At that time, the Dao Ancestor talked about three methods of becoming a Saint."

First, proving the Dao with strength.

Second, proving the Dao by beheading the three corpses.

Third, proving the Dao with merit.

"From the Goddess's current vision, what do you think of these three methods of becoming a Saint?"

Nuwa said softly: "Zixiao Palace preaching was a matter of the ancient times. As a grand-disciple of the Jie Sect, you know it so clearly, which makes me feel surprised."

Gu Xiu scratched his head: "This disciple saw it from ancient books in the Biyou Palace library by chance."

Nuwa raised her head slightly.

"When the Zixiao Palace preached, the Teacher did talk about these three methods. Since you want to hear it, I will tell you, but you are only a Taiyi Golden Immortal, don't be ambitious, just listen to it as a story."

Gu Xiu leaned forward slightly and bowed: "Thank you for the reminder, Goddess."

Nuwa's face was very calm, and she spoke slowly.

"The three methods of becoming a Saint that the Teacher talked about at the beginning are exactly what you said. The first is proving the Dao with strength."

"The so-called proving the Dao with strength is to possess three thousand Great Daos and prove the Hunyuan with absolute tyrannical strength, but at that time, the Teacher said that after Pangu opened the sky, the Great Dao retreated, and this method was no longer feasible."

"Furthermore, proving the Dao with strength is inevitable to die and disappear. Pangu was proving the Dao with strength, but the day of success was the day of death. The Teacher explained it like this at the time, and there was no further explanation."

"Second, proving the Dao by beheading the three corpses. All spirits have three corpses of good thoughts, evil thoughts, and obsession. Perceive the Dao rules and behead the three corpses, using innate spiritual treasures as sustenance to form independent individuals. From then on, the heart is only for the Dao, and when the time comes, the three corpses can be combined to become a Saint."

"Only the Teacher succeeded in this method, so I cannot answer you too much."

After a pause, Nuwa continued.

"As for the third method, proving the Dao with merit, it is to obtain the recognition of the Heavenly Dao with massive merit, thereby obtaining the Saint fruit position. We six Saints all obtained the Heavenly Dao Saint position in this way." ===== CHAPTER 75 =====
