"That's right, second brother, your opportunity to prove the Dao has come!"

Zhu Qingyun didn't explain, but turned his head and ordered Fuxi.

Translation: Zhu Qingyun didn't explain, but turned to Fuxi and ordered.

"Fuxi, explain to your second uncle what the primordial Eight Trigrams are!"

Translation: "Fuxi, explain to your second uncle what the primordial eight trigrams are!"

Fuxi always observes propriety; even after comprehending the primordial Eight Trigrams, he has not abandoned the Confucian virtue of "ritual" in the Way of Literature.

Translation: Fuxi always values etiquette; having realized the primordial eight trigrams, he still has not abandoned the civil Dao's 'ritual'.

"Qiankun refers to the trigrams; the Eight Trigrams are divided into Qian, Kun, Xun, Zhen, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui. I believe that all things should be encompassed within the Eight Trigrams..."

Translation: "Heaven and Earth are the eight trigrams; the eight trigrams divide into Qian, Kun, Xun, Zhen, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui. I believe that all things should be contained within the eight trigrams..."

Fuxi gave a lecture on the primordial Eight Trigrams to Qiankun, and the Qiankun Daoist immediately had countless insights into the Great Dao of Qiankun surge into his mind; while listening to Fuxi's explanation of the primordial Eight Trigrams, he fell into a state of enlightenment.

Translation: Fuxi gave a lecture on the primordial eight trigrams to Heaven and Earth, and the Qiankun Daoist immediately felt countless insights into the Heaven and Earth Great Dao surge into his mind; while listening to Fuxi explain the primordial eight trigrams, he also fell into contemplation of the Dao.

Upon sensing that the Qiankun Daoist, while listening to the lecture on the primordial Eight Trigrams, was steadily improving his grasp of the Qiankun Great Dao, Zhu Qingyun then led Nüwa and Aotian to Penglai Immortal Island.

Translation: Only when he sensed that the Qiankun Daoist, while listening to the lecture on the primordial eight trigrams, was steadily improving his grasp of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao did Zhu Qingyun lead Nüwa and Ao Tian to Penglai Immortal Island.

Yin and Yang naturally stood guard in silence for the two Qiankun individuals.

Translation: Yin and Yang naturally stood guard in silence for the two of Heaven and Earth.

"Aotian, what doubts do you have regarding the martial path?"

Since taking Aotian as a disciple, it has always been Nüwa who taught him on my behalf; I really haven't given him much personal guidance.

Translation: Since taking Ao Tian as a disciple, it has always been Nüwa who transmitted the teachings; Zhu Qingyun really hasn't given him much guidance.

"Master, my martial cultivation has recently reached the perfected Daluo Golden Immortal level, but I have no idea how to break through to the martial Hunyuan."

Translation: "Master, my martial cultivation has recently reached perfection as a Great Luo golden immortal, but I have no idea how to break through to the martial mixed primordial."

Although Nüwa's martial cultivation is extremely high, it stems from her extraordinary, unconventional martial talent; as for how to comprehend the martial art of creation, she actually only knows a little about it.

Translation: Although Nüwa's martial cultivation is extremely high, it stems from her extraordinary martial talent that defies common sense; as for how to comprehend creation martial Dao, she actually only half-understands it herself.

"My martial way governs all ways; your elder sister Nüwa is an exception, having comprehended a martial art of creation that advances hand in hand with the Dao of creation."

Translation: "My martial Dao governs all Daos; your senior sister Nüwa is an exception, having comprehended the creation martial Dao that advances hand in hand with the Way of Creation."

"Creation and martial arts are both supreme principles; theoretically they can be fused, but since your primary path is the Way of Battle, it essentially differs from martial arts."

Translation: "Creation and martial Dao are both supreme principles; theoretically they can be fused, but since your main practice is the Great Dao of Battle Combat, it essentially differs from martial Dao."

"Therefore, if you wish to break through martial Hunyuan, you must let martial arts govern the Way of Battle, thereby forming a Battle Martial Way; if you merely imitate your elder sister Nüwa's method, you will never be able to break through martial Hunyuan in your lifetime!"

Translation: "Therefore, if you wish to break through to martial mixed primordial, you must let martial Dao govern battle combat, thereby becoming battle combat martial Dao; merely imitating your senior sister Nüwa's method will never allow you to break through to martial mixed primordial in your lifetime."

As the Lord of the Martial Way, Zhu Qingyun naturally spotted Aotian's difficulty at a glance; a few simple pointers enlightened him like sweet dew.

Translation: As the Venerable of the Martial Dao, Zhu Qingyun naturally saw at a glance Ao Tian's difficulty; a few simple pointers enlightened him like sweet dew.

Translation: "My martial governance of all Daos means martial Dao as the master, governing the Three Thousand Great Daos; if you wish to walk the martial Dao path, letting martial Dao govern the Great Dao of Battle Combat, you must first..."

Zhu Qingyun gave Aotian a detailed lesson on how to let martial arts govern the Way of Battle.

Translation: Zhu Qingyun gave Ao Tian a detailed lesson on how to let martial Dao govern the Way of Battle Combat.

Aotian's comprehension is also not weak; otherwise he wouldn't have broken through from Daluo to Hunyuan after listening to the lectures of many mighty dragons. Thus, under Zhu Qingyun's explanation, Aotian continually tested and verified, finally comprehending the Battle Martial Way after three hundred years! 【The birth of martial arts brings a new Hunyuan Golden Immortal early stage; as the Lord of the Martial Way, you receive feedback, current control degree, 73%!】

Translation: Ao Tian's comprehension is also not weak; otherwise he wouldn't have broken through from Great Luo to mixed primordial after listening to the many mighty beings of the dragon clan lecture on the Dao! Thus, under Zhu Qingyun's explanation, Ao Tian continually tried and verified, finally comprehending battle combat martial Dao after three hundred years! 【The birth of martial Dao brings a new early mixed primordial golden immortal; as the Venerable of the Martial Dao, you receive feedback, current mastery: 73%!】

After Aotian broke through martial Hunyuan, Zhu Qingyun's face showed a kind smile as he rubbed Nüwa's little head.

Zhu Qingyun has always doted on Nüwa.

"Master, that's how it is; after receiving the inheritance of the Creation Demon God, my comprehension of the Great Dao of Creation has greatly increased, and now I am sufficient to break through to the late stage of Hunyuan Golden Immortal."

Translation: "Master, it's like this: after receiving the inheritance of the creation demon god, my comprehension of the Great Dao of Creation has greatly increased; now I am sufficient to break through to late mixed primordial golden immortal."

Nüwa tilted her head, her small expression showing some worry.

Translation: Nüwa tilted her head, the small expression on her face somewhat troubled.

"But the disciple wishes to advance the Great Dao of Creation and martial arts side by side, so for a moment I don't know how to choose!" Zhu Qingyun, who had been smiling gently and leisurely, instantly perked up upon hearing Nüwa's next sentence.

Translation: "But the disciple wants the Great Dao of Creation and martial Dao to advance hand in hand, so for a moment I don't know how to choose!" Zhu Qingyun, who had been smiling gently and calmly, instantly perked up upon hearing Nüwa's next sentence.

"Furthermore... Master, I always feel that I seem to have some mission upon me, and it is closely related to the Dao of Creation!"

Translation: "Moreover... Master, I always feel that I seem to have some mission upon me, and it is extremely importantly related to the Way of Creation!"

Zhu Qingyun's feelings were instantly lifted as Nüwa's words fell.

Translation: Zhu Qingyun's mood was lifted the instant Nüwa's words fell.

Nüwa certainly bears a mission; in the original course of events, she would use the Great Dao of Creation, employing the Three Lights Divine Water, Nine Heavens' Breath Soil, and countless innate treasures to create humanity!

Translation: Nüwa certainly has a mission; in the original trajectory, she would use the Great Dao of Creation, with the Three Lights Divine Water, Nine Heavens Immortal Soil, and countless innate treasures to create the human race!

Thereby bringing forth the Human Dao, becoming the innate lord of the Human Dao!

Unfortunately, later she was schemed against by the sages of the Heavenly Dao, losing her status, leaving only a tenth of the most basic human destiny qi in her grasp.

"Nüwa, although your talent in martial arts is high, it pales in comparison to your talent in the Dao of Creation!"

Translation: "Nüwa, although your talent in martial Dao is high, it is far inferior to your talent in the Way of Creation!"

"I suggest you focus your mind on contemplating the Dao of Creation; the Great Dao of Creation is chiefly about creation, and I guess you are destined to create a race!"

Translation: "I suggest you first focus your mind on comprehending the Way of Creation; the Great Dao of Creation mainly creates, and I guess you will create a clan!"

As soon as Zhu Qingyun's words fell, the will of the Heavenly Dao descended, and the Zixiao Divine Thunder hovered without falling, seemingly warning Zhu Qingyun! Zhu Qingyun glanced at the Zixiao Divine Thunder, his aura bursting forth; with the dual statuses of "Lord of Destiny" and "Lord of the Primordial Dao," he actually dispersed the Zixiao Divine Thunder! "You should enter my Literary Dao great world and try to create some races!"

Translation: As soon as Zhu Qingyun's words fell, the will of the Heavenly Dao descended, the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder hung without falling, seemingly warning Zhu Qingyun!

"You shall enter my civil Dao great world and try to create some races!"

Having just finished speaking, Zhu Qingyun, the will of the Heavenly Dao instantly flew into a rage! Heavenly secrets must not be leaked, especially concerning the Human Dao; even if Zhu Qingyun is the Lord of the Primordial Dao, he ought to be punished!

Translation: Zhu Qingyun had just finished speaking when the will of the Heavenly Dao instantly flew into a rage! Heavenly secrets must not be leaked, especially concerning the human Dao; even if Zhu Qingyun is the Venerable of the Primordial Wasteland, he should be punished!

Streaks of Zixiao Divine Thunder condensed in the sky, and one could see Zhu Qingyun's boundless destiny qi rising, a phantom status imprint enduring the relentless bombardment of the Zixiao Divine Thunder!

Translation: Streaks of Purple Cloud Divine Thunder condensed in the sky, and one saw Zhu Qingyun's body, with boundless fortune rising, a phantom status mark receiving the continuous bombardment of the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder!

The sky turned purple, lightning serpents exploded and scattered, and a cluster of destiny qi within Zhu Qingyun's thick destiny pillar was split apart!

Translation: The sky turned purple, lightning snakes exploded and scattered, and a mass of fortune within Zhu Qingyun's thick fortune pillar was split apart!

Only then did the Zixiao Divine Thunder finally dissipate; that cluster of destiny qi is the power of destiny attached to the status of "Lord of the Primordial Dao."

Translation: Only then did the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder dissipate almost completely; that mass of fortune is the fortune power attached to the status of 'Venerable of the Primordial Wasteland'!

And the dissipation of that destiny qi also signifies that the Primordial Heaven and Earth no longer acknowledge Zhu Qingyun as the Lord of the Primordial Dao.

Translation: And the dissipation of that mass of fortune also signifies that the primordial wilderness heaven and earth no longer recognize Zhu Qingyun as the Venerable of the Primordial Wasteland.

This is the price of leaking heavenly secrets!

"Hah!"

Translation: "Hah!"

Zhu Qingyun smirked contemptuously; with the birth of the Human Dao, humanity will appear, and in my past life as a human I will never allow the massacre of humans during the Witch-Demon Calamity to happen again! He drew half of the Three Lights Divine Water from the lake at the center of Penglai Immortal Island, then went beneath the supreme innate spiritual root, the Yellow Plum Tree, and dug up some innate divine soil.

Translation: Zhu Qingyun snorted disdainfully; with the birth of the human Dao, the human race will appear, and in his past life as a human, he absolutely will not let the massacre of humans during the Wu-Yao Great Calamity happen again! He drew half of the Three Lights Divine Water from the lake at the center of Penglai Immortal Island, then went under the supreme innate spiritual root, the yellow plum tree, and dug out some innate divine soil.

This divine soil, though not the innate Breath Soil, if added when creating humans would surely enhance humanity's potential! Zhu Qingyun knows that the Nine Heavens' Breath Soil exists in only two places.

Translation: This divine soil, though not innate immortal soil, would surely enhance the human race's potential if added when creating humans! Zhu Qingyun knows that Nine Heavens Immortal Soil exists in only two places.

Translation: One is the soil of the yet-to-be-born innate gourd vine on Mount Buzhou, which is Nine Heavens Immortal Soil; in the original trajectory, it was obtained by Nüwa after the three lectures at the Purple Cloud Palace.

Translation: The other is in the domain of his younger sister-in-law Hou Tu! "Looks like I need to make a trip to the Wu Clan to see my sister Hou Tu!"

Translation: In the original trajectory, the Wu-Yao great war meant they were mortal enemies, so Nüwa naturally had no chance to exchange treasures from Hou Tu's hands.

Translation: Hou Tu, as the ancestral earth witch, holds the vast majority of divine soil in the world! "Nüwa disciple, you first study; I will go help you find more materials!"

Translation: Zhu Qingyun gave instructions to the two, then placed Nüwa into the civil Dao great world.

"Aotian, just stay here on Penglai Immortal Island to cultivate for a while; when you have free time you can also go find your elder brother Fuxi, listen to a lecture on the primordial Eight Trigrams, and see if it might stir your Great Dao!"

Translation: "Ao Tian, just stay in Penglai Immortal Island for a while to cultivate; when you have free time, you can also go find your senior brother Fuxi, and incidentally listen to the primordial eight trigrams to see if they might stir your Dao!"
