Chapter 102: The Struggle for Authority Among the Heaven, Earth, and Man Three Daos

Tian Yuan looked at the image in his consciousness, his heart filled with great doubt.

In a void within the Western Region of the Netherworld, thick blood mist overflowed, rising in wisps before fading away into the air.

When it appeared again, it was already on the other side of the Wangchuan River, yet the entire Netherworld showed not a trace of blood mist.

Long ago, Tian Yuan speculated that the blood mist beneath the Earth Vein came from the Nether Blood Sea, but because of the obstruction of the Wangchuan River, he had been unable to find the source.

When Houtu derived the Naihe Bridge, Tian Yuan discovered the oddity of the matter.

On that side of the Netherworld's Wangchuan River, there was no trace of blood mist.

Tian Yuan, with doubt in his heart, probed slightly and immediately discovered this space.

The void was suffused with a deep red; although the figure of the Nether Blood Sea was not seen, the rising Blood Fiend Qi was eroding Mount Buzhou.

And from the consciousness of the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk, Tian Yuan learned that this place was the location of the Nether Blood Sea.

"The Nether Blood Sea has not yet evolved, so why can it erode Mount Buzhou?" On this point, Tian Yuan was very puzzled.

The Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space had the Wangchuan River and the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk; even if one more Nether Blood Sea were added, Tian Yuan would have nothing to be surprised about.

The Nether Blood Sea belonged to the Netherworld; if the Nether Blood Sea appeared, it could be called a counterattack by the Earthly Dao.

Because even though he had already communicated with the Earthly Dao, Tian Yuan was still somewhat unclear about the relationship between the Heaven, Earth, and Man Three Daos in the Primordial World today.

The Heavenly Dao, Earthly Dao, and Humanity, which should each perform their own duties, seemed to be competing for authority within the Primordial World.

It was just that the Nether Blood Sea had not manifested in the consciousness space, which was very strange.

According to Tian Yuan's understanding, if Mount Buzhou was the heart of the Primordial World, then the Nether Blood Sea was the waste disposal center of this world.

There was no reason, nor was it possible, for it to so actively erode Mount Buzhou.

Under the Great Calamity of the Primordial World, how many secrets were still hidden?

A sense of melancholy filled Tian Yuan's heart; apart from this patch of blood mist, there were no other strange places in the Netherworld.

At a glance, it was all ruins, looking even more desolate than the Primordial land in the Buzhou Mountain Consciousness Space.

Fortunately, now that he had communicated with the Earthly Dao, the influence of the Nether Blood Sea would gradually weaken until it disappeared.

Withdrawing his mind, Tian Yuan looked up toward the firmament.

The Earthly Dao emerged through Houtu, Humanity might be with Hongyun, and the medium to awaken the Heavenly Dao must lie with the two Demon Emperors, Di Jun and Taiyi.

The Demon Court had not yet reached its peak, so Hongjun must have encountered great obstacles in embodying the Dao.

That unlucky fellow Dong Wanggong should have been the one Hongjun pushed out first to seize authority.

Yet Hongjun underestimated Di Jun and Taiyi; the two turned around and wiped out Dong Wanggong.

Thinking about it carefully, this matter certainly could not be that simple.

One must know that without his intervention, the Demon Court had lost the first battle between the Witch and Demon clans.

Facing the high-spirited Wu Clan, there was no reason for Di Jun and Taiyi to immediately crusade against Dong Wanggong after the third lecture at Purple Heaven Palace.

As one of the Three Thousand Guests of Zixiao Palace, Dong Wanggong had been enfeoffed by the Dao Ancestor as the Head of Male Immortals, and he had many Great Luo Golden Immortals under his command, most of whom were also Zixiao guests.

Penglai Immortal Island was not only powerful, but more importantly, it had the Dao Ancestor's approval; the actions of Di Jun and Taiyi were too rampant.

These two Demon Emperors were not like those irritable fellows of the Ancestral Witch, acting without regard for consequences, just doing things and finishing them.

This meant that something else had happened to Dong Wanggong that he did not know about, or perhaps Di Jun and Taiyi had a reason they had to kill the other party.

Then it could only be related to the Heavenly Dao Will; perhaps the two three-legged golden crows born in the Sun Star could have communicated with the Heavenly Dao Will long ago.

Humanity gathered in the ten thousand races of the Primordial World, and the Earthly Dao was supported by the living creatures of the world, but only the Heavenly Dao was born the earliest.

Tian Yuan, with a thoughtful expression, felt Houtu's call in his heart.

His figure slowly faded, and when he appeared again, he had arrived in a light screen beneath Mount Buzhou.

As his gaze swept across the field, Tian Yuan was immediately slightly startled.

Houtu and Fuxi were not unusual, but Nuwa stood quietly not far away, her body shrouded in a layer of profound Dao Rhyme, seemingly fallen into an epiphany.

"Brother Daoist Tian Yuan, Sister Nuwa seems to have gained an opportunity." Seeing Tian Yuan appear, Houtu hurriedly greeted him.

Fuxi, who was beside her, also turned to look, his eyes filled with anticipation.

In just this short while, this space had given him too much shock.

The few of them had just walked into the light screen supported by the Innate Spiritual Root when Nuwa fell into this state.

"Perhaps it is related to her Dao!" After just one glance, Tian Yuan replied casually.

What was swallowed and exhaled in the light screen was Postnatal Spiritual Qi, and what grew there were Acquired Spirit Creatures; the Human Race created by Nuwa also belonged to the postnatal category.

It was reasonable for Nuwa, who practiced the Law of Creation, to have an epiphany.

Hearing this, shock was revealed in Houtu's eyes.

She had found her own Dao here; would Nuwa also have gains?

Amidst her surprise, a smile also appeared on Houtu's face.

From Nuwa's own mouth, she already knew about the affairs between the Wu Clan and the Demon Court, but this did not affect their relationship.

If Nuwa could realize her own Dao just like her, Houtu would be equally very happy.

As for Fuxi on the side, he was already ecstatic, his eyes filled with excitement.

Under the gaze of the three, an inexplicable Dao Rhyme drifted from Nuwa's body.

Suddenly, the surrounding flowers, plants, and trees grew wildly, and at the same time, more postnatal vegetation broke through the soil.

The light screen supported by the Spiritual Root in front of them was actually expanding rapidly, which made Tian Yuan's eyes light up. Nuwa practiced the Law of Creation, so deriving Acquired Spirit Creatures back to nature was easy, but it was somewhat unexpected that she could also benefit the Spiritual Root.

The three people in the field watched quietly; after a short while, the Dao Rhyme around Nuwa's body faded, and she opened her eyes faintly.

Fuxi immediately ran forward, calling out urgently: "Little sister, how is it?"

Nuwa cast a reproachful glance at him, but turned to look at Tian Yuan: "Many thanks, Brother Daoist Tian Yuan!"

In the inexplicable epiphany just now, she had touched upon her own Dao.

If it were not for the fact that her practice of the Law of Creation was not yet sufficient, perhaps she would have already understood that trace of palpitation in her Primordial Spirit and would have known the use of the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil for her.

What Tian Yuan said was indeed true; the reason the so-called timing had not yet arrived was entirely because his own Dao attainment was too weak.

With everything in this space before her eyes, added to the matters concerning herself, Nuwa felt boundless admiration for Tian Yuan.

The Witch and Demon Clans only thought of dominating the Primordial World, while every single thing Tian Yuan did was for the benefit of the Primordial World.

He did not go to Purple Heaven Palace, had no interest in the Primordial World, and silently guarded Mount Buzhou.

Only a person of such great and selfless devotion could be qualified to govern this Consciousness Space.

"This is due to your profound good fortune!" Tian Yuan smiled, his peripheral vision glancing unconsciously at Fuxi on the side.

Fuxi was just as extraordinary as Nuwa; he had been inside for quite some time, yet he had not shown any reaction.

Seeing Tian Yuan's gaze turn toward him, Fuxi awkwardly cupped his hands: "Many thanks, Dao Brother!"

He had already felt very favorably toward Tian Yuan early on.

All the conflicts were because of the Demon Court, but now, seeing the scene in this space, Fuxi felt somewhat bewildered.

The ambition of the two Demon Emperors to unify the Primordial World was truly nothing compared to Tian Yuan's great righteousness.

Glancing at his brother's constrained expression, Nuwa spoke again: "Dao Brother, from now on, we siblings will remain in this space; if there is anything you need, just give the order."

Tian Yuan was of such high righteousness that Nuwa also wanted to contribute her part to the Primordial World.

Fuxi did not say a word, merely looking toward the distance with an unnatural expression.

Tian Yuan was not surprised by this, rubbing his chin as he said: "Fuxi, you stay; Fellow Daoist, you still have an opportunity at Purple Heaven Palace, so you may make a trip to Purple Heaven Palace for the third lecture."

The Innate Spiritual Treasures of the Primordial World were almost all fragments of Chaos Treasures or derived from the Indestructible Spiritual Light absorbed by the remains of Chaos Gods and Demons, but they had all been scavenged by Hongjun.

The current Nuwa was penniless, and many of her future spiritual treasures were still on Fenbao Cliff.

Every Innate Spiritual Treasure contained a wisp of Indestructible Spiritual Light, which was of great benefit to cultivation.

A trip to Purple Heaven Palace would only take a few thousand years, so it was still worth going.

Moreover, the main thing was the Hongmeng Purple Qi bestowed by Hongjun; Tian Yuan wanted to know what exactly that thing was.

Was it the Foundation of Sainthood, or a secret treasure to control the Six Saints of Heaven and Earth? Tian Yuan's calm words immediately shocked the three people present.

They all knew that Tian Yuan had not gone to Purple Heaven Palace, yet he knew that Nuwa had an opportunity in the Chaos while he was in the Primordial World.

Purple Heaven Palace was the territory of Dao Ancestor Hongjun; Tian Yuan's methods were simply too exaggerated.

Nuwa's face revealed shock, but after only a slight hesitation, she nodded in agreement: "Many thanks for your words, Dao Brother."

Although she had no intuition about it, if Tian Yuan called it an opportunity, it certainly could not be a trivial matter.

As for the truth of Tian Yuan's words, that thought no longer existed in Nuwa's heart.

"Calculating the time, the third lecture at Purple Heaven Palace is not far off; Little Sister, you should be heading to the Chaos soon," Fuxi, who was nearby, interjected softly.

Fuxi was still very concerned when it came to his little sister's opportunity.

As for whether he himself would go out or not, Fuxi did not mention it.

Nuwa looked at Fuxi, a flash of strangeness appearing in her eyes.

She did not know if it was an illusion, but Nuwa felt that after coming to this space, Fuxi seemed to have become much calmer, and not just because he had witnessed the mystery of this space.

Thinking this, Nuwa looked at Tian Yuan. "Then I will trouble you, Dao Brother Tian Yuan!"

Houtu, who was nearby, also said softly at this moment: "The Ancestral Witches are ignorant, and I also want to go see my brothers."

Gonggong had been captured, and the heart of the Father God had been taken by Dao Brother Tian Yuan; the Ancestral Witches had no hope left, so Houtu intended to go and persuade those brothers of hers in person.

If that really did not work, she intended to join forces with Tian Yuan to capture the Ancestral Witches no matter what.

The Witch-Demon Calamity had already begun; once a great war broke out, many of the Wu Clan would surely die, a scene Houtu did not wish to see.

Tian Yuan nodded without objection, then turned his head to look at Fuxi: "You may wander about as you please."

After speaking, a faint will emerged, and at the same time, an ethereal Dao sound rang in Nuwa's ears.

Amidst Nuwa's slightly surprised expression, the three of them vanished instantly.

The surroundings became empty in the blink of an eye; Fuxi looked dejected, awkwardly rubbed his chin, and then looked up toward the firmament.

Above his head, it was a gray expanse; no stars were visible, and he did not know how high the sky was.

"Demon Emperor! Fuxi can no longer assist you from now on!" With a soft sigh, Fuxi turned and fled toward the outside of the light curtain.

No matter how his inner heart changed, Tian Yuan would never let him out.

Houtu and Nuwa had both found their own Dao in this space, and Fuxi had his own cravings as well.

Where, then, was his Dao!
