Chapter 60: How Divine is Tian Yuan?

"It is Fuxi who has offended!" Fuxi was also a frank person; he cupped his hands and apologized softly.

This actually surprised Tian Yuan, who had spoken casually, but after a brief turn of thought, he understood: Fuxi must have secretly used the Divination Art on him.

Regarding this, Tian Yuan did not mind; after all, he was so mysterious that anyone would try it.

However, looking at the other's expression, he must have gained nothing, and Tian Yuan was not surprised.

He and Mount Buzhou were one spirit in two bodies, shrouded in a dense will, and were not ordinary living beings.

Nuwa, who had walked up, looked at Fuxi strangely, then turned her gaze toward Tian Yuan.

"Fellow Daoist Tian Yuan, earlier I observed the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil beneath that Gourd Vine and felt an inexplicable resonance."

Saying this, she realized her words were highly ambiguous, so Nuwa hurriedly explained: "It is not that Nuwa is plotting against Fellow Daoist's spiritual object, it is just that that thing seems... seems..."

When she reached the end, Nuwa did not know how to express it; she could not just say it had a predestined affinity with her, could she? That feeling of emptiness in her heart—she still did not know why even now.

Since arriving at that valley, she had been unable to find an answer, and now that Tian Yuan was right before her, Nuwa really could not help but ask.

Meeting Nuwa's eager gaze, Tian Yuan hesitated slightly, but still replied softly: "The time has not yet come."

A portion of the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil had become his Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure, and a portion was still nourishing the Gourd Vine; he certainly could not give it to her.

If there were any remnants after the Gourd Vine took human form, that would be a matter for the future.

Given his current relationship with Nuwa, it was not enough for him to take out such a spiritual object.

After all, the remaining Nine Heavens Breathing Soil could also be used to complete his magic treasure and shorten the repair time.

As for creating humans, Tian Yuan had tried it long ago; it was simply impossible to create the Human Race with only the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil.

There must first be humans, and then the Human Race; to create the Human Race, one would likely need to comprehend the Creation Law.

In later generations, Tian Yuan had always speculated that Nuwa might not have achieved Merit Sanctification at all, but rather Proved the Dao with this law.

After she became a Saint, she retreated into Chaos, likely because she was rejected by this world.

Just like Yangmei, who Proved the Dao to Hunyuan and fled directly into Chaos, never appearing in the Primordial World again.

"Hmm?" Nuwa was stunned, and surprise was clearly visible on her face.

She had originally only thought about whether Tian Yuan could let her observe the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil at close range.

Who would have thought that the meaning in Tian Yuan's words suggested he knew the function of the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil for her? How could this not shock Nuwa?

From beginning to end, she had only met the other party twice; how could Tian Yuan know her so well?

"Fellow Daoist..." How could Nuwa not care about such a major matter?

But before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a wave of Tian Yuan's hand: "It is too early for that now; you will understand when the time comes."

Nuwa was currently only in the late stage of Great Luo Golden Immortal, so her cultivation of laws was definitely insufficient.

Moreover, whether or not to let Nuwa create humans was something Tian Yuan still had to consider.

Nuwa was clearly piqued by Tian Yuan's curiosity, and before she could speak again, Fuxi walked up.

"Sister! Since Fellow Daoist has spoken thus, we shall just wait."

They did not have much friendship with Tian Yuan, and earlier they had almost come into conflict over the Gourd Vine.

That Tian Yuan could tell them so much now had already made Fuxi very surprised.

They had just seen the stone man's strength, and his background was very mysterious; they should prioritize befriending him, as asking too much might cause displeasure.

Nuwa also realized that Tian Yuan had no obligation to tell her so much, and asking for more would seem very impolite.

Taking a deep breath, Nuwa apologized to Tian Yuan. "It is Nuwa who was abrupt!"

Tian Yuan waved his hand, not taking it to heart; he was still relatively kind toward the Fuxi siblings.

If it had been anyone else, they would likely have joined the fray directly just now, working with Jieyin and Zhunti to capture him.

Zhenyuanzi did not know what Nuwa and the others were talking about, and he invited them with enthusiasm: "Fellow Daoist Tian Yuan, the Ginseng Fruit Tree at my Wuzhuang Temple has just ripened; we can go gather there."

After the Gourd Vine and the events just now, Zhenyuanzi's favorability toward this mysterious stone man had exploded.

As he spoke, Zhenyuanzi's gaze also turned to the Fuxi siblings: "The two Fellow Daoists may come along."

Their cultivation was not weak, and Nuwa had even obtained a Cushion in the Purple Heaven Palace, so Zhenyuanzi naturally wanted to befriend them. "Fellow Daoist's kindness is appreciated, but Tian Yuan must decline." Tian Yuan cupped his hands; he did not like eating fruit.

Then, with a wave of his large hand, an inexplicable aura dispersed, and the Bitter Bamboo in the mountain hollow vanished into a streak of green light, leaving only a lush green bamboo forest.

Jieyin and Zhunti were still on Mount Buzhou, and he did not want these Spiritual Roots to meet with any accidents.

Furthermore, if he left Mount Buzhou, those Ancestral Witches might come to encircle and suppress him.

The most urgent task, besides guarding the spiritual objects of Mount Buzhou, was to seize the time to meditate and prepare for capturing the Ancestral Witches.

This casual action of Tian Yuan made the eyes of the few people present shrink slightly again.

Although they did not deliberately investigate, the perception of a Great Luo Golden Immortal was incredibly powerful, yet there were no fluctuations of magic power or traces of laws in the air.

Such a Supreme Innate Spiritual Root was moved away so easily.

Zhenyuanzi thought for a moment, somewhat understanding Tian Yuan's concerns, and then said heartily: "In that case, we shall gather again when there is an opportunity."

After speaking, his gaze turned to Nuwa and Fuxi, who were on the side.

Getting to know the two was not only because the Fuxi siblings' cultivation was not weak, but also for the sake of Hongyun.

He could not guard this good friend forever; knowing more people would have only benefits and no harm.

As the Ginseng Fruit was also a Primordial Spiritual Root, Fuxi had long admired it and was about to answer, but his figure paused, and he immediately apologized: "With Fellow Daoist's kind invitation, I fear Fuxi cannot go either."

Nuwa did not speak, only giving Zhenyuanzi an apologetic look.

Seeing that no one was going, Zhenyuanzi was not angry and turned his head to look at Hongyun on the side.

"Fine, fine, fine! I will go sit at your Wuzhuang Temple!" Hongyun waved his hand, directly ignoring Zhenyuanzi's eager gaze.

Just a moment ago, while traveling through Mount Buzhou, Zhenyuanzi had suggested many times that he go to Wuzhuang Temple to gather.

He had known Zhenyuanzi for a long time, and every time the Ginseng Fruit ripened, he would go; he had long since grown tired of eating them.

Zhenyuanzi was immediately filled with joy; he was just worried about Hongyun.

He then turned to cup his hands toward Tian Yuan and the others: "Then, Fellow Daoists, we shall part ways here and meet again in the future."

After sitting at Wuzhuang Temple and discussing the Dao for a while, we shall head to Purple Heaven Palace, so as to save Hongyun from running around everywhere.

Beside him, Hongyun also cupped his hands toward the group, and seemingly remembering something, he turned to Tian Yuan: "Fellow Daoist, the Second Sermon at Purple Heaven Palace will arrive in a few days; we can go together then."

He treated others with enthusiasm and never made enemies; it was rare to find a fellow Daoist who suited Zhenyuanzi's temperament so well, and Hongyun also wished to become better acquainted.

Moreover, Tian Yuan had not been seen in Purple Heaven Palace, and Hongyun did not want the other party to miss out on such a great opportunity.

Zhenyuanzi, standing to the side, also nodded slightly.

Facing the goodwill of the two, Tian Yuan shook his head and replied softly: "I intend to pursue Law Proving the Dao; the Dao in Purple Heaven Palace does not suit me."

The path of severing the Three Corpses is fundamentally a trap; without three spiritual treasures of the same root and origin, it is utterly impossible to merge the Three Corpses and take the final step.

The three brothers of the Three Pure Ones were bestowed a pile of spiritual treasures by Hongjun, yet they lacked treasures of the same origin—the trap is clear as day.

As for merit? Standing tall between heaven and earth at Mount Buzhou, bestowing blessings upon all living things in the Primordial World, whose merit could compare to his?

It is just that Tian Yuan has yet to figure out why he has not seen a shred of merit, even though he has been combing through the Earth Veins for some time.

Tian Yuan's casual words immediately shocked the few people present once again.

The Second Sermon at Purple Heaven Palace teaches the cultivation after the Great Luo Golden Immortal; does Tian Yuan already know this? Zhenyuanzi, Hongyun, and the siblings Fuxi and Nuwa were all stunned on the spot, unsure whether what Tian Yuan said was true or false.

But without a doubt, Tian Yuan's mystery absolutely exceeded their imagination.

Looking at the few people stunned on the spot, Tian Yuan smiled and said: "The preaching at Purple Heaven Palace still has its merits; I shall bid you all farewell here."

Having said this, Tian Yuan took a step and walked toward the distance.

Everything that needed to be pointed out had been pointed out; none of them were ordinary divine beings, so they should have their own considerations.

Dear masters, the book is still in its new release period, so I can only post two chapters totaling 4000 words a day to secure recommendations; I cannot post more. I can only explode with updates once it is officially published, so please wait a few more days and it will be OK.
