He slightly bowed and performed a salute, his words also appearing quite courteous.

In the past, within the Zixiao Palace, Nüwa was a direct disciple seated under the Hongjun Dao Ancestor, while our own master and uncle were merely nominal disciples.

Translation: In the past, at Zixiao Palace, Nüwa was a direct disciple of Hongjun Daozu, while our master and uncle were merely nominal disciples.

Therefore, in terms of seniority, Chen Ku should indeed address Nüwa as "Senior Aunt."

As his words fell, Nüwa, who had been deeply focused and quietly contemplating, was also startled.

Following the sound, Nüwa also recognized Chen Ku.

Translation: Following the sound, Nüwa also recognized Chen Ku.

"Chen Ku?!"

Translation: "Chen Ku?!"

She uttered a low whisper full of surprise.

Translation: She murmured in surprise.

Immediately, Nüwa's brows furrowed even tighter.

Translation: Immediately, Nüwa's brows furrowed even tighter.

"Chen Ku, you shouldn't have come here."

Translation: "Chen Ku, you shouldn't have come here."

"If you intend to sabotage the heavenly marriage, you should go to the Heavenly Court."

Translation: "If you want to ruin the heavenly marriage, you should go to the Heavenly Court."

As soon as she spoke, Nüwa displayed an aloofness that kept people at a distance.

Translation: As soon as she spoke, Nüwa displayed an aloofness that kept people at a distance.

Evidently, she also didn't have much fondness for Chen Ku.

Translation: Evidently, she also didn't have much fondness for Chen Ku.

Previously, she had also heard Emperor Jun and Taiyi complain, saying that Chen Ku acted against heaven and forcibly ruined the heavenly marriage.

Translation: Previously, she had also heard Di Jun Taiyi complain, saying that Chen Ku acted against heaven and forcibly destroyed the heavenly marriage.

Consequently, Nüwa naturally assumed that Chen Ku had come again to sabotage the heavenly marriage.

Translation: Therefore, Nüwa naturally assumed that Chen Ku had come again to ruin the heavenly marriage.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ku's expression froze, filled with bewilderment.

Translation: Upon hearing this, Chen Ku's expression froze, full of astonishment.

Immediately afterward, he reacted and understood Nüwa's meaning.

"Ah... suffering, suffering!"

Translation: "Ah... suffering, suffering!"

"Senior Aunt Nüwa really has misunderstood me."

Translation: "Senior Uncle Nüwa has truly misunderstood me."

"The goddesses Xihe and Chang'e refusing the heavenly marriage has nothing to do with me, the junior."

Translation: "The two goddesses Xi He and Changxi refusing the heavenly marriage have nothing to do with me, the junior."

"Back then on the Taiyin Star, I, the junior, merely happened to be caught in the scheming of the Old Man of the Moon and others..."

Translation: "Back on Taiyin Xing, I, the junior, merely happened to fall into the scheming of Yue Lao and others......"

Chen Ku, looking aggrieved, spilled the beans like overturning a bamboo tube, recounting the past events to Nüwa.

Translation: Chen Ku, looking aggrieved, spilled the beans like overturning a bamboo tube, recounting the past events to Nüwa.

Upon hearing Chen Ku's words, Nüwa's originally stern and indifferent expression gradually softened a bit.

"Back then, I, the junior, was only helping others for joy; I never advised Xihe and Chang'e to deliberately sabotage the heavenly marriage."

Translation: "Back then, I, the junior, was only helping others for joy, never urging Xi He and Changxi to deliberately ruin the heavenly marriage."

In the end, Chen Ku said as follows.

Translation: In the end, Chen Ku said thus.

Nüwa still looked at Chen Ku with some skepticism, neither confirming nor denying.

Translation: Nüwa still looked at Chen Ku half-believing, half-doubting, neither affirming nor denying.

Seeing this, Chen Ku continued speaking:

Translation: Seeing this, Chen Ku continued:

"Senior Aunt Nüwa should know that Xihe and Chang'e voluntarily joined the West."

Translation: "Senior Uncle Nüwa should know that Xi He and Changxi voluntarily joined the West."

"Otherwise, Hongyun and the others would have long since left; how could those two sisters remain on Mount Sumeru?!"

Translation: "Otherwise, Hongyun and the others would have long left; how could those two sisters possibly remain on Mount Sumeru?!"

It was only this statement that finally made Nüwa believe what Chen Ku said.

Translation: It was only this sentence that finally made Nüwa believe what Chen Ku said.

Previously, Zhenyuanzi and Hongyun assisted the West in the great battle against the demon clan, something Nüwa had also paid attention to.

Translation: Previously, Zhenyuanzi and Hongyun aiding the West in the great war against the Demon Race, Nüwa had also paid attention to.

Indeed, as Chen Ku said, after the battle ended, Zhenyuanzi and the other departed safely.

Translation: Indeed, as Chen Ku said, after the war ended, Zhenyuanzi and his companion departed safely.

Whereas Xihe and Chang'e chose to remain in the West.

Translation: Whereas Xi He and Changxi chose to remain in the West.

Nüwa's face darkened, but this time it was not directed at Chen Ku; it was because of Emperor Jun and Taiyi and others.

Translation: Nüwa's face darkened, but this time it was not aimed at Chen Ku, but because of Di Jun Taiyi and others.

Nüwa finally realized that Emperor Jun and Taiyi's earlier account had been a distortion of truth, adding false details.

Translation: Nüwa finally realized that the earlier account by Di Jun Taiyi was a distortion of truth, adding falsehoods.

Moreover, as the master of the demon court, colluding with someone like the Old Man of the Moon to secretly scheme against Xihe and Chang'e also made Nüwa feel deeply disgusted.

Translation: Moreover, as the master of the Demon Court, joining forces with someone like Yue Lao to secretly scheme against Xi He and Changxi also made Nüwa feel deep disgust.

"In that case, it seems I, the palace, have misunderstood you."

Translation: "In that case, it seems this palace has misunderstood you."

Nüwa's words softened considerably as she replied to Chen Ku.

Translation: Nüwa's words softened considerably as she replied to Chen Ku.

Although not explicitly stated, it already conveyed a sense of apology.

Translation: Although not explicitly said, it already conveyed a sense of apology.

Moreover, as a top-tier innate great power, being able to express such an attitude is no small feat.

Translation: Moreover, as a top-tier innate great power, being able to express such an attitude is no easy feat.

In response, Chen Ku merely gave a light smile and didn't mind.

Translation: Chen Ku merely smiled faintly and didn't mind.

Immediately afterward, Nüwa asked again:

Translation: Immediately afterward, Nüwa asked again:

"However, junior nephew, why have you come here?!"

Translation: "However, Junior Nephew, why have you come here?!"

Upon hearing Nüwa's words, Chen Ku's expression remained unchanged and his heart did not race.

Translation: Hearing Nüwa's words, Chen Ku's expression remained unchanged, his heart unmoved.

He pointed to the side, to the mud pit Nüwa previously used to shape all things, and then spoke loudly:

Translation: He pointed to the side, at the mud pit Nüwa previously used to mold all things, and then spoke loudly:

"Opportunity!"

Translation: "Opportunity!"

"In the dark, I sensed that there exists an opportunity for me here."

Translation: "In the dark, I sensed that an opportunity belonging to me exists here."

Chen Ku spoke with righteous confidence.

Translation: Chen Ku spoke with righteous confidence.

Upon hearing this, Nüwa felt greatly astonished, her beautiful eyes full of surprise.

Translation: Upon hearing this, Nüwa was greatly astonished, her beautiful eyes full of surprise.

"How could this be possible?!"

Translation: "How is this possible?!"

You should know, Nüwa had sensed a hint of an opportunity for her own path to enlightenment, which is why she came here.

Translation: You must know, Nüwa had sensed a hint of an opportunity to prove her Dao, which is why she came here.

It's not like the emergence of a spiritual treasure or something.

Translation: It's not like a Lingbao treasure has emerged or anything.

Could it be that my own path to enlightenment is also related to this Chen Gu?!

Translation: Could it be that my proving the Dao is also related to this Chen Gu?!

Nüwa was filled with doubtful wonder.

Translation: Nüwa was filled with doubtful wonder.

But the matter of attaining enlightenment and becoming a sage is of great significance.

Translation: But proving the Dao to become a sage is of great significance.

Moreover, seeing Chen Ku's firm and resolute demeanor, Nüwa also didn't say anything further.

Translation: Moreover, seeing Chen Ku's confident and resolute appearance, Nüwa also didn't say anything further.

After getting to the bottom of it, there is actually no grudge between Nüwa and Chen Ku.

Besides, her relationship with the Demon Race wasn't overly close.

If it weren't for her elder brother Fuxi joining the Demon Court, Nüwa wouldn't be helping the Demon Race everywhere.

Unless necessary, Nüwa would not actively provoke karma and make enemies for herself.

As for the grudge between Chen Ku and the Demon Race, Nüwa would not involve herself in it.

On the other hand, seeing Nüwa's attitude ease, Chen Ku silently thought, 'Indeed, as expected.'

He had long known what Nüwa was thinking; otherwise he wouldn't have appeared so directly to meet her.

At that moment, Nüwa spoke again:

Since you, my junior disciple, also have some insight, let us study this together in my palace.

No longer hesitating, Nüwa invited Chen Ku to study together.

After all, proving the Dao and becoming a saint is the most important thing for her.

Listening to Chen Ku's ideas and suggestions might even produce unexpected effects.

Chen Ku nodded, stepped forward slowly, and said:

I don't know, Senior Aunt Nüwa, how far have you progressed in your insight?

Hearing this, Nüwa showed a hint of contemplation.

After a moment, she then spoke carefully:

I have always cultivated the Way of Creation, and in the depths I also have a sense of it.

I intend to use this Dao to create all things.

Saying this, Nüwa gestured to Chen Ku, pointing to a nearby mud pit and the lifeless birds, fish, and insects she had shaped, which had form but were still dead.

The opportunity to prove the Dao seems to lie in this mud.

But no matter how I ponder it, I still cannot grasp it......

Saying this, Nüwa's brows furrowed again.

Nüwa's cultivation of the Way of Creation is known to all beings, so there is no need to hide anything.

As for the opportunity to prove the Dao, there is even less need to conceal it.

After all, even if Chen Ku knew, he could not seize Nüwa's predestined position as a saint.

Regarding Nüwa's confusion, Chen Ku also seemed to have anticipated it.

Hehe, glad to talk......

He gave a light laugh, and suddenly flipped his palm.

In an instant, two Enlightenment Mats appeared and fell before Nüwa.

These... are the Enlightenment Mats from the Purple Azure Palace back then?!

Nüwa gasped in astonishment.

At a glance she recognized that the two mats before her were exactly the kind used by the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin and Zhunti, and the one she herself had occupied.

Seeing Nüwa's incredulous expression, Chen Ku smiled faintly and nodded.

After the third lecture on the Dao was over, Hongjun deliberately kept him behind and demanded the sand of the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Therefore, Chen Ku not only obtained the God-Slaying Spear and the Twelve-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus, two spiritual treasures, thereby.

Even the Dao-Comprehension Mats were taken by him, two of them.

However, at that time the Three Thousand Great Powers had already left, so naturally no one knew.

Seeing Chen Ku's calm and composed demeanor, Nüwa couldn't help but let out a wry laugh.

"You... really have a lot of nerve!"

"To dare to take things from the Dao Ancestor's Purple Azure Palace, probably only Chen Ku would dare to be so lawless."

Furthermore, Nüwa had another sentence she did not speak.

That is... this brat is just too shameless.

"The Dao-Comprehension Mat is not within the range of bestowed treasures, you brat just stole it, right?!"

Nüwa's expression was strange; how could Chen Ku not know what she was thinking?

But he didn't mind, after all the Dao Ancestor had already merged with the Dao.

Even the death of Duke East went unnoticed by him.

Could it be that he would start a war just because he took those two mats?

"Heh, with this thing's blessing, Aunt Nüwa's Dao comprehension could also be faster, right?!"

Chen Ku merely replied with that sentence.

Hearing that, Nüwa didn't say anything more and immediately sat cross-legged on the mat.

But even with the Dao-Comprehension Mat's blessing, Nüwa's progress in Dao comprehension was still not very fast.

She still wore a thoughtful look, feeling somewhat lost.

Seeing this, Chen Ku secretly rolled his eyes.

It seems I need to give him a little guidance.

After thinking, Chen Ku spoke:

"Aunt Nüwa's comprehension of the Way of Creation is correct in itself!"

"But perhaps the direction of shaping clay figurines is a bit off."

Upon hearing this, Nüwa immediately looked at Chen Ku with a face full of incomprehension!
