220. Chapter 217: Nüwa Transcends, Turbulence in the Primordial World

In fact, even if Pan Huang hadn't said anything, Hongjun would still have let Pan Huang wait for a period of time before exploring the world. This was because he was currently suffering from severe injuries; if he did not recuperate properly, it would be very easy to leave behind hidden wounds, and these injuries of his were precisely caused by Yang Mei.

The Wa Palace.

"The Primordial World is becoming increasingly peaceful now, and the human race is also thriving and growing due to the relationship between the Ren Sect and the Saint Court. The fortune I have obtained has also increased by quite a bit!" Nüwa muttered to herself as she sensed the fortune she controlled.

"Developing at this rate, I might be the Saint most likely to transcend the Heavenly Dao," Nüwa said with a smile.

Last time at Pan Huang's dojo, she had already learned the method for Pan Huang to become a Saint. Pan Huang's sainthood relied on the inner world within his body. If Nüwa wanted to transcend the Heavenly Dao, the fastest way now was to open up a world, and then use the power of the world she had opened up along with the power of the Heavenly Dao to shield the connection between the Purple Qi of Hongmeng and the Primordial World, thereby breaking free from the shackles of the Primordial World. Otherwise, with the existence of the Purple Qi of Hongmeng, she would have absolutely no chance of transcending the Heavenly Dao.

And Nüwa also possessed the item to open up an inner world: the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

However, what Nüwa needed to do now was to fuse the Map of Mountains and Rivers with herself. Only in this way would the world she opened up exist within her own body; otherwise, this opened-up world would very likely exist in Chaos, just like the God-Desolate World.

Although one could also transcend the Heavenly Dao this way, the drawbacks in the later stages would be somewhat significant. After listening to Pan Huang's account, Nüwa would not choose such a path at all.

"The Map of Mountains and Rivers has now fused by nearly ninety percent. With just a little over ten percent left, it will be completely fused, and then I can begin to create the world. Once the world is created, I can proceed to transcend the Heavenly Dao," Nüwa said with a smile as she sensed the progress of the fusion of the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

Within the Primordial World, Pangu very keenly sensed Nüwa's abnormality. Although the current Heavenly Dao was not Pangu's consciousness, this world was transformed from Pangu, and he had already awakened at this time. The moment he awakened, he took control of the Primordial World into his own hands.

The most important thing was that this new Heavenly Dao was very cooperative with Pangu. When Pangu took control of the Primordial World, it did not resist in the slightest, and even helped Pangu control the Primordial World.

"Is this preparing to transcend the shackles of the Primordial Heavenly Dao?" Pangu muttered to himself.

"If you can transcend the Primordial World before I fully awaken, that can also be considered your destiny." Pan Huang did not seem to be repulsed by this, and even felt a sense of gratification.

Pangu was not quite the same as other world controllers; he did not interfere too much with the people of his own world. If they had the ability to transcend their own world, Pangu would not stop them. After all, once they transcended the world, they would also be his help.

"It seems the journey to the Great Heavens will not be lonely then," Pangu said with a smile, and after speaking, he continued to practice.

In Chaos, the other Saints actually also sensed the changes in the Primordial World. They actually also had the idea of wanting to transcend the Heavenly Dao, but they did not dare to implement it. The main reason was that the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World had left a deep mark in their hearts, and they did not dare to go against the wishes of the Heavenly Dao Hongjun.

Even though the Heavenly Dao had changed now, those Saints still did not dare to challenge the bottom line of the Heavenly Dao, so they had been hesitating. But sometimes opportunities are fleeting; if they did not seize this opportunity now, they would never have such an opportunity again in the future.

Nüwa was able to seize this opportunity because she had old ties with Pan Huang, and thus she had heard some news from Pan Huang.

Zhen Yuanzi and the Ancestor of Styx also wanted to seize this opportunity, but with their current strength, it would probably be difficult for them to transcend when Pangu fully awakened.

Time flew by, and another thousand years passed in the Primordial World.

During these thousand years, the power of the human race grew larger and larger, and the forces that were on good terms with the human race also grew significantly. Many people on Earth had already ascended to the Primordial World. This type of person who ascended had an even stronger worship for the Ren Sect, the Saint Court, and their ancestral land than those before them, so they could not only stabilize fortune but also bring a lot of faith power.

Nüwa also absorbed a lot of faith power through the fortune of the human race. This faith power was very pure, allowing her primordial spirit to improve slightly. It was precisely because of this slight improvement in her primordial spirit that Nüwa could comprehend more of the Dao, and because of the strengthening of her primordial spirit, her fusion with the Map of Mountains and Rivers accelerated significantly.

Another two thousand years passed in the Primordial World. During these two thousand years, the human race's power occupied almost ninety percent of the Primordial World, and the power of fortune on Nüwa reached its peak. She knew that her opportunity had come. If she did not break through and transcend at this time, then the Primordial Heavenly Dao would begin to target the human race. Once the human race was targeted, that fortune would definitely decrease, and by that time, Nüwa feared she would not even have a chance to transcend.

"Let's begin!" In the Wa Palace, Nüwa muttered to herself.

After speaking, her entire person disappeared from where she was. When she appeared again, she had already arrived at the inner world transformed from the Map of Mountains and Rivers. At this time, the inner world was a piece of Chaos. Looking at the Chaos before her, Nüwa took a deep breath and then began to create the world.

The method Nüwa used was different from Pangu and Pan Huang. Pangu opened up the world in Chaos, and Pan Huang also opened up the world in the Chaos Bead.

Nüwa chose evolution. She used her own power of creation to hook into the laws of the inner world, and then used the power of creation to make the laws of the inner world become violent. Through the collision of the power of laws, she evolved earth, water, fire, and wind, then stabilized space and time, and finally opened up a world of her own.

This method of Nüwa was relatively conservative and relatively safer. If there were any accidents midway, she could stop the evolution at any time and return the already evolved world back to Chaos.

Under Nüwa's operation, the Chaos of the inner world began to change drastically. Soon, a world appeared before Nüwa's eyes. Looking at this newborn world, a smile appeared on Nüwa's face, and then she cast the primordial spirit fragments she had prepared long ago into the newborn Heavenly Dao.

In just an instant, she established a connection with the Heavenly Dao of the new world. However, Nüwa did not interfere too much with the operation of the Heavenly Dao. In Pan Huang's words, the Heavenly Dao knows the birth and operation of the world better than we do; we only need to be able to control the Heavenly Dao, and there is no need to manage anything else at all.

With the operation of the Heavenly Dao, the new world became more and more stable. Nüwa knew that she could begin to extract the Purple Qi of Hongmeng.

Hiding in the new world, the Primordial Heavenly Dao could not monitor Nüwa, so she used the fortune of the human race to begin stripping the Purple Qi of Hongmeng from her primordial spirit. With the stripping of the Purple Qi of Hongmeng, that kind of pain, even though Nüwa was a Saint, made her screams resound throughout the entire inner world. Fortunately, there were no living beings in this world yet, otherwise, they would definitely have been frightened.

Using one hundred years under the time flow of the inner world, Nüwa finally stripped away the Purple Qi of Hongmeng. With the stripping of the Purple Qi of Hongmeng, the aura on Nüwa's body began to drop rapidly, and soon it fell to the Quasi-Saint level. However, just at this moment, the world power of the inner world suddenly surged over from all directions.

When the world power surged into Nüwa's body, Nüwa's fallen cultivation began to rise back at a speed visible to the naked eye. Early stage Saint, middle stage, late stage, peak stage—in just a few breaths of time, Nüwa's strength returned to the Saint level, and in one fell swoop, she reached the peak of the Saint level.

"Is this the power of Hunyuan? It really is powerful!" Feeling the power in her body, Nüwa muttered to herself.

After coming out of the inner world, the Purple Qi of Hongmeng in her hand began to become restless. Seeing this, Nüwa directly let go of her hand, and that Purple Qi of Hongmeng instantly disappeared from the Wa Palace.

In the Primordial World, at the Pangu Temple, Pangu, who was practicing, opened his eyes. The next second, a purple aura arrived before him and directly merged into the center of his eyebrows.

It turned out that this Purple Qi of Hongmeng was actually a part of the world's origin. Initially, in order to better control the Primordial World, the newborn Heavenly Dao separated some of the Primordial World's origin power, forming this so-called Purple Qi of Hongmeng. Now that Nüwa had transcended, the Purple Qi of Hongmeng logically returned to Pangu here, which took his control of the world a step further, and at the same time, this accelerated the progress of his awakening.

"Eh! There is still a wisp that seems to be recoverable!" After absorbing this wisp of Purple Qi of Hongmeng, Pangu muttered to himself, and then he said "Come," and a strange fluctuation spread out from the Pangu Temple.

After the Purple Qi of Hongmeng returned to Pangu, all the Heavenly Dao Saints seemed to have a feeling. All of them frowned, and an extremely bad feeling appeared in their hearts. Even Laozi, who was far away in the Demon World, was no exception.

Although Laozi had fallen from the Saint position, the Purple Qi of Hongmeng had not left his primordial spirit, which was why he could re-practice to the Saint level in the Demon World.

Now that the Purple Qi of Hongmeng belonging to Nüwa had returned to Pangu, the Purple Qi of Hongmeng on Laozi's side immediately began to become restless. After all, he was not a Heavenly Dao Saint of the Primordial World, and this purple aura returning to the Primordial World was the most normal phenomenon.

Laozi used all his strength and finally suppressed the restlessness of the Purple Qi of Hongmeng. But before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, the Purple Qi of Hongmeng produced an even more violent restlessness. This time, even Laozi could not suppress it.

Laozi used all his strength, but in the end, he could only watch as the Purple Qi of Hongmeng was stripped from his primordial spirit bit by bit, and finally, it directly disappeared before his eyes.

After the Purple Qi of Hongmeng was stripped away, Laozi spat out a mouthful of blood and then directly fainted.

"There is actually another subsidiary small world. It seems my luck is not bad!" After absorbing Laozi's Purple Qi of Hongmeng, Pangu said with a smile, and then continued to practice.

The moment Nüwa became a Hunyuan Saint, Pan Huang sensed it. After all, the Primordial Heavenly Dao was also found by him. Although he could not influence the Primordial Heavenly Dao, he could know some things from the Primordial Heavenly Dao. Like Nüwa's transcendence, which directly involved the Heavenly Dao, he sensed it at the first moment.

Sensing that Nüwa had transcended, Pan Huang came out of seclusion. After he came out of seclusion, Hongjun also happened to have just woken up from his practice.

"Fellow Daoist!" Seeing Pan Huang, Hongjun said with a smile.

At this time, he looked much more spirited than when he first arrived, and the injuries in Hongjun's body had also healed seven or eight out of ten.

"Fellow Daoist Nüwa has transcended the Primordial Heavenly Dao. Let's go and offer our congratulations." Pan Huang said with a smile.

"Oh? Then we should indeed go and offer our congratulations," Hongjun said in surprise.

After speaking, the two flew towards the direction of the Wa Palace. Halfway there, they also met Zhen Yuanzi and the Ancestor of Styx. When Zhen Yuanzi and the Ancestor of Styx saw Hongjun, their eyes widened directly.

Hongjun's name was like thunder in their ears, and they did not expect that he would be right beside them now. One must know that when Hongjun was preaching the Dao, they didn't even have the qualifications to step forward!

After exchanging greetings with Hongjun, the group arrived at the Wa Palace before long. Outside the Wa Palace, Pan Huang and the others saw Yuanshi, Tongtian, Jieyin, and Zhunti.

After they saw Hongjun, their performance was the same as Zhen Yuanzi and Styx; Zhunti's legs even went a bit soft.

However, Hongjun did not say anything, but smiled at them, which counted as a greeting.

"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist for successfully transcending the Heavenly Dao. From now on, the vastness of Chaos is yours to gallop and explore!" Seeing Nüwa, Pan Huang said with a smile.

"I still have to thank Fellow Daoist!" Nüwa said with a smile.

After speaking, she noticed Hongjun beside Pan Huang. Seeing Hongjun, Nüwa was so frightened that she hurriedly came to Hongjun's side: "Greetings, Teacher!"

"Not bad. Now that you have transcended the Primordial Heavenly Dao, there is no longer a master-disciple relationship between us. From now on, just call me Fellow Daoist!" Hongjun said with a smile.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Hongjun!" Nüwa smiled and then bowed to Hongjun.

This scene made the other Saints extremely envious. They did not expect that Nüwa could now call the Dao Ancestor Fellow Daoist, while they still had to perform the disciple's etiquette when seeing the Dao Ancestor.

After Nüwa performed the etiquette, Hongjun was just about to return the etiquette when he heard a muffled sound, which made everyone turn their eyes towards the direction of the Primordial World.

At this time in the Primordial World, the fortune of the human race had reached its peak, and the power of the human race had spread to ninety percent of the entire Primordial World. Except for those uninhabited places, there were footprints of the human race throughout the entire Primordial World.

The Heavenly Dao allowed such a situation to occur, so it began to suppress the human race when the human race's fortune and power reached their peak.

First was that batch of old guys. Except for the three thousand primordial humans in the ancestral land of the human race and those human emperors, the other old guys directly suffered the five decays of heaven and man, letting them return to the Primordial World.

When these people returned to the Primordial World, the spiritual energy in the Primordial World increased by a wisp. Subsequently, some forces also began to decline inexplicably, and some forces that were previously inconspicuous began to rise.

In just a short hundred years, the power of the human race collapsed across the board, and in the end, only thirty percent remained. The population of the human race also plummeted to a level that both the Ren Sect and the Saint Court could bear. Even Earth was implicated, and now the difficulty of ascending from Earth was more than a hundred times greater than before.

After the power of the human race was suppressed, other races rose, and the Primordial World once again ushered in a situation where a hundred races stood tall. Moreover, after those old guys of the human race returned to the Primordial World, the spiritual energy of the Primordial World was improved by a wisp, which could be considered as a disguised promotion of the evolution of the Primordial World.

As the saying goes, when a whale falls, all things live. Now the human race of the Primordial World is like that whale, and the other hundred races are like all things. The human race falls and the ten thousand races live, and at the same time, it also brings along a small evolution of the Primordial World.

But don't underestimate this wisp. With this wisp of evolution, Pangu's awakening time was compressed again. Now, conservatively estimated, at most a thousand years, Pangu would be able to fully awaken, because recently, terrifying pressure would appear from time to time in the Central Imperial Continent, accompanied by bursts of earth-shaking turbulence.
