Chapter 185

It was just after Chen Ku left.

Translation: "Just after Chen Ku left."

On Buzhou Mountain, things gradually grew lively.

Translation: "On Mount Buzhou, things gradually became lively."

Divine lights flashed across the far sky and descended before humanity.

Translation: "Divine lights streaked across the distant sky and descended before the human race."

Zhenyuanzi!

Translation: "Zhenyuanzi!"

Ancestor Hongyun!

Translation: "Hongyun Laozu!"

Ancestor Minghe!

Translation: "Minghe Laozu!"

And the many mighty beings of the Yao Court were also there.

Translation: "And the mighty ones of the Demon Court were also present."

The mighty ones glanced around, their faces filled with doubt.

Translation: "The great powers looked around, their faces showing doubt."

"Huh? Why isn't the Sage Nüwa here?"

Translation: ""Huh? Why isn't Saint Nüwa here?""

Not bad!

Translation: "Not bad!"

They naturally didn't see Nüwa's silhouette.

Translation: "They naturally did not see Nüwa's figure."

Moreover, he has now become a sage, his aura permeating heaven and earth, leaving everyone unable to comprehend or locate him.

Translation: "Moreover, he has already become a saint, his aura filling heaven and earth, making it impossible for everyone to fathom or seek him."

While some mighty beings failed to sense Nüwa's aura, they involuntarily turned their eyes to the humans before them.

Translation: "And some great powers, failing to detect Nüwa's aura, involuntarily turned their gaze to the humans before them."

"Mm... Is this the human race created by Sage Nüwa?"

Translation: ""Hmm… Is this the human race created by Saint Nüwa?""

"Although their cultivation is still low, their innate Dao bodies are impressive, immaculate and pure."

Translation: ""Although their cultivation is low, their innate Dao bodies are remarkable, pure and untainted.""

"These beings are destined for extraordinary achievements."

Translation: ""These beings will likely achieve extraordinary things in the future.""

"Indeed, the vitality within these humans is incredibly rich."

Translation: ""Indeed, the vitality within these humans is remarkably rich.""

"How could a race created by a sage be ordinary?!"

Translation: ""How could a race created by a saint be ordinary?!""

The mighty beings chatted excitedly, their words full of awe.

Translation: "The great powers discussed thus, their words full of admiration."

Previously, the Twelve Ancestral Witches lacked primordial spirits, so they could not sense the humans' divine nature; judging only by their cultivation, they seemed frail.

Translation: "Previously, the Twelve Ancestral Witches did not give birth to primordial spirits, so they could not sense the humans' miraculous nature; judging only by their cultivation, they deemed them feeble."

But the mighty beings could sense that the humans were truly exceptional.

Translation: "But the great powers could sense that the humans were truly remarkable."

After all, Nüwa shaped their bodies using the Nine Heavens' Immortal Soil and infused them with vital energy through her near-saintly cultivation.

Translation: "After all, Nüwa shaped their bodies with the Nine Heavens' Living Soil and, with her quasi-saint cultivation, infused them with spiritual energy."

Moreover, some of the merit from Nüwa's attainment of sainthood also flowed into humanity.

Translation: "Furthermore, some of the merit from Nüwa's attainment of sainthood through the Dao also fell upon the humans."

Thus, combined, this makes the human race rather extraordinary.

Translation: "Thus, stacked together, the humans naturally became quite extraordinary."

Of course, the mighty beings' astonishment perhaps also contains some admiration for Nüwa.

Translation: "Naturally, the great powers' astonishment perhaps also carried a hint of reverence for Nüwa."

But for now, all beings are unaware of the calamity humanity will face; they simply assume that, as a race created by a sage, humanity's future achievements will surely be astonishing.

Translation: "But for now, all beings do not know the calamity the humans will face later; they naturally assume that, as a race created by a saint, the humans' future achievements will surely be astonishing."

Just as the mighty beings were discussing.

Translation: "Just as the great powers were discussing,"

Suddenly, a distant immortal melody echoed from the Nine Heavens above.

Translation: "Suddenly, a faint immortal melody echoed from the Nine Heavens above."

"My palace, Nüwa, now opens the Primordial Realm beyond Chaos and establishes a dojo."

Translation: ""This palace's Nüwa now, beyond the Chaos realm, opens up the Primordial Plain and establishes a dojo.""

"Anyone with affinity in the world may come to observe."

Translation: ""Anyone with affinity in the world may come to observe.""

Upon hearing this, the mighty beings suddenly understood.

Translation: "Hearing this, the great powers suddenly understood."

That's right!

Translation: "That's it!"

Only then did they realize that Nüwa is no longer as before; her status is exalted.

Translation: "Only then did they realize that Nüwa is no longer as before; her status is exalted."

The dojo of the Sage Hongjun, namely the Purple Azure Palace, is also located beyond Chaos.

Translation: "The dojo of Saint Hongjun, that is, the Purple Azure Palace, is also located beyond the Chaos realm."

It is only natural that Nüwa would reopen a dojo there.

Translation: "Nüwa reopening a dojo there is also reasonable."

"The sage's opening of Chaos is a feat unparalleled throughout eternity."

Translation: ""The saint's opening of Chaos is a feat unparalleled throughout the ages.""

"If we could observe it, it would greatly benefit our cultivation."

Translation: ""If we can observe it once, it will greatly benefit our cultivation.""

"Hurry to the realm beyond Chaos!"

Translation: ""Hurry to beyond the Chaos realm!""

A mighty being shouted thus.

Translation: "A great power shouted thus."

They naturally had no time to pay attention to the humans before them.

Translation: "They naturally had no time to pay attention to the humans before them."

Observing the sage's methods and feeling the power of the holy way is what matters most.

Translation: "Observing the saint's methods and experiencing the might of the Holy Dao is what matters most."

Thus, countless mighty beings turned and rushed toward the realm beyond Chaos.

Translation: "Thus, countless great powers turned their bodies and rushed toward beyond the Chaos realm."

On the other side, the Western Heaven and Earth!

Translation: "On another side, the Western Heaven and Earth!"

The Gate of Myriad Wonders opened; Chen Ku stepped through and returned to this place.

Translation: "The Gate of Myriad Marvels opened; Chen Ku took a step and returned here."

He directly descended beneath Mount Sumeru.

Translation: "He directly descended beneath Mount Sumeru."

Then he waved his hand.

Translation: "Then, he waved his hand."

Instantly, the 12,960 human beings he had brought back reappeared and fell beneath Mount Sumeru.

Translation: "Instantly, the 12,960 human beings he had brought back reappeared, falling beneath Mount Sumeru."

"This mountain is called Mount Sumeru; it lies at the center of my Western Heaven and Earth and is also a top-tier blessed land of the West."

Translation: ""This mountain is called Mount Sumeru; it lies at the center of my Western Heaven and Earth and is also a top-tier blessed land of the West.""

"You humans shall cultivate beneath this mountain."

Translation: ""You humans shall cultivate beneath this mountain.""

Chen Ku said thus.

Translation: "Chen Ku said thus."

Now beneath Mount Sumeru, spiritual energy fills the sky, and myriad auspicious colors burst forth.

Translation: "Now beneath Mount Sumeru, spiritual energy fills the sky, and myriad auspicious colors burst forth."

This is more than enough for human cultivation.

Translation: "This is sufficient for the humans to cultivate."

As he spoke, Chen Ku's eyes gleamed with a flash of anticipation.

Translation: "As he spoke, Chen Ku's eyes gleamed with a flash of anticipation."

These humans are all seeds, and also another hope for expanding the Western population.

Translation: "These humans are seeds, and also another hope for enlarging the Western population."

When the age of humanity arrives, their reproductive speed will surpass all beings' knowledge and imagination.

Translation: "When the age of humans arrives, their reproductive speed will also surpass the knowledge and imagination of all beings."

Upon hearing his words, the humans bowed in unison.

Translation: "Upon hearing his words, the humans bowed in unison."

"Yes, we shall faithfully follow the Holy Father's teachings!"

Translation: ""Yes, we will faithfully follow the Holy Father's teachings!""

"Humanity again thanks the Holy Father's grace!"

Translation: ""Humans again thank the Holy Father's grace!""

The humans shouted loudly, their faces full of gratitude.

Translation: "The humans shouted loudly, their faces full of gratitude."

Seeing this, Chen Ku gave a faint smile and said nothing more.

At this moment, Jieyin and Zhunti had naturally already left, likewise rushing to the outside of Chaos to observe Nüwa opening the dojo.

Chen Ku was not in a hurry to chase after them.

With the Myriad Wonderful Gate upon him, he could catch up to Jieyin, Zhunti, and the others in an instant.

He then turned his gaze toward Mount Sumeru.

At that moment, several figures flew out from within and came before Chen Ku.

They were none other than the Black Dragon, and the two goddesses Xi He and Chang Xi.

"Haha, Master, you were truly supreme over the universe before."

"Dividing Nüwa the Saint's merit of attaining sainthood is truly shocking ancient and modern, unmatched by anyone."

The Black Dragon laughed loudly, his tone full of awe and reverence.

Even Nüwa's attainment of the Dao and sainthood could be interfered with; there is probably no second such case in heaven and earth.

Although the Black Dragon is Chen Ku's mount, he too shares in the glory, proud and unyielding.

As for the two goddesses Xi He and Chang Xi, their beautiful eyes flowed with varied light as they gazed upon Chen Ku.

"Daoist friend Chen Ku, you have not returned for a long time; we sisters were still worried you might have encountered some danger."

Unlike the Black Dragon, Xi He and Chang Xi's eyes held only concern for Chen Ku.

Hearing the three's words, Chen Ku gave a light laugh.

"Hehe, I encountered some changes."

"But fortunately, they have all been resolved."

What he spoke of naturally referred to his battle with the Twelve Ancestor Witches.

However, Chen Ku did not elaborate.

He then turned his gaze to the Black Dragon and spoke solemnly:

"Black Dragon, I now have a great opportunity to bestow upon you and your dragon kin."

The Black Dragon was bewildered, looking at Chen Ku in confusion.

He, without further ado, continued:

"Go and arrange ten Golden Immortal powerhouses of the Dragon Race to go to Mount Buzhou and watch over humanity."

"Exert your utmost to protect humanity from harm."

Upon hearing this, the Black Dragon became even more puzzled.

"Protect humanity?!"

"Isn't that what Nüwa should be doing?"

Nevertheless, although somewhat doubtful, the Black Dragon still nodded without hesitation.

"Subordinate obeys orders!"

Thereafter, the Black Dragon immediately spoke, directly selecting ten of the strongest strange dragon powerhouses and ordering them to go to Mount Buzhou.

Chen Ku continued to look at Xi He and Chang Xi.

"Hehe, now that Senior Nüwa has completed her Dao attainment, she is in the midst of Chaos opening a new dojo."

"We too should set out quickly to go observe the saint's great power."

This is Chen Ku's true intention.

Besides settling those ten thousand plus human beings, he also wanted to bring Xi He, Chang Xi, the Black Dragon, and others to jointly observe the sight of Nüwa opening the dojo.

After all, they lack the Myriad Wonderful Gate's spatial divine ability; if left to travel on their own, they would surely not be able to keep up.

However, upon hearing Chen Ku's words, Xi He's eyes dimmed slightly as she spoke softly:

"We too had previously discussed this."

"In order to avoid encountering Di Jun, Taiyi, and the like, we therefore did not rashly set out."

Obviously, regarding Nüwa, the second saint of this world, Xi He and Chang Xi likewise yearned for her.

But they also clearly understood that, after the initial battle, the Monster Court's everyone would surely bear a deep hatred toward them.

If they were to encounter Di Jun, Taiyi, and the like again, it would be extremely unfavorable for Xi He and Chang Xi.

Hearing this, Chen Ku was unconcerned.

"No problem!"

"I myself will protect the two goddesses fully."

"Moreover, Master Jieyin and Uncle Zhunti have already set out."

"Even if Di Jun, Taiyi, and the like harbor ill intentions, they would have to weigh their actions."

Chen Ku's words were calm and placid, yet they revealed an indescribable, towering hegemonic aura.

If someone else were to say such words, Xi He and Chang Xi might still have to weigh them.

But when spoken from Chen Ku's mouth, the two women's hearts inexplicably chose to believe.

It seemed that as long as Chen Ku was present, any trouble was not worth mentioning.

The two women broke into smiles.

"Good, then, as you say, we will follow your words."

Xi He no longer hesitated, immediately nodding in agreement.

Meanwhile, Chang Xi beside her was even more "well-versed," stepping to Chen Ku's side and naturally embracing one of his arms.

She had not forgotten that, back on Taiyin Xing, she had even embraced Chen Ku while passing through the Myriad Wonderful Gate.

Seeing this, Xi He was also startled, then, as if possessed, she also embraced Chen Ku's other arm.

This scene caused the Black Dragon to feel a surge of envy.

Such blessings—who could not envy them?!

Chen Ku said no more; with a thought, the Gate of Myriad Wonders opened again.

And then, several people headed outside the Chaos Realm.
