Chapter 185: Confused Nuwa: You Are Actually Capable of Opening Up a World?

Inside the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

Nuwa looked at Fuxi, who was sitting cross-legged in front of her with his brows tightly locked, and could not help but sigh in her heart.

Because she could see that Fuxi still had not found the opportunity to prove the Dao.

This was not surprising; after all, it had taken many years for the six of them, the Saints, to each prove the Dao and become a Saint after obtaining the Hongmeng Purple Qi in Zixiao Palace.

It had not been long since Fuxi obtained the Hongmeng Purple Qi from Lu Yun, so no matter how anxious Nuwa was, she knew that this was not something one could rush.

Therefore, Nuwa soon calmed her mood, left this place where Fuxi was in seclusion, and turned to arrive at another location.

Here, there were two peerless beauties practicing.

These two beauties were, naturally, the sisters Xihe and Changxi.

However, the behavior of these two sisters at this moment was somewhat different.

The elder sister, Xihe, was practicing with great focus, while the younger sister, Changxi, was actually lost in thought.

Nuwa could not help but frown, stepped forward, and asked, "Sister Changxi, why are you not practicing, but instead lost in thought here?"

Changxi only then came back to her senses, stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, her pretty face slightly red, and said, "It is nothing, Sister Nuwa, I... I just suddenly missed Fellow Daoist Lu Yun a little. It has been a long time since he came to see us."

Nuwa thought to herself: As expected! Clearly, this Changxi had already unknowingly planted deep roots of affection for Lu Yun.

In fact, it was not just Changxi; Xihe was the same. It was just that the two sisters expressed it differently.

Xihe knew that if she wanted to become Lu Yun's Dao companion and help him more, she needed to work harder to improve her strength, so she practiced very diligently.

As for the simple and lively Changxi, she did not have such a profound realization and would just occasionally get lost in thoughts of Lu Yun.

Nuwa sighed softly in her heart; regarding Changxi's feelings, she felt both understanding and helpless. She knew that in matters of such emotions, outsiders could not intervene and could only let Changxi experience and realize it herself.

She gently patted Changxi on the shoulder and said softly, "Sister Changxi, I can understand your feelings right now. However, you must know that the path of cultivation emphasizes a peaceful state of mind and cannot be disturbed by external things. If you keep thinking about Fellow Daoist Lu Yun like this, it will be detrimental to your cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Changxi nodded obediently and said, "Sister Nuwa, I understand. I will try my best to control my emotions and will not let them affect my cultivation."

Nuwa smiled and nodded, saying, "That is right. Improve your cultivation well; when that time comes, you will also be able to help him better, will you not?"

Changxi's eyes lit up upon hearing this, as if she had found new motivation and a goal.

She naturally knew that the "that time" Nuwa spoke of referred to when the Human Race became a top power in the Great Desolation, and Lu Yun would have to confront the strong of the Demon Race and even the Wu Clan as the leader of the Human Race! The reason for their sisters' seclusion this time was actually because Nuwa deduced that such a day would surely come, and she had them prepare in advance.

Changxi nodded firmly and said, "Yes! Sister Nuwa, you are right! I must work hard to practice and improve my strength and realm! That way, the next time Fellow Daoist Lu Yun needs help, I can assist him better!"

Seeing that Changxi had regained her motivation and goal for cultivation, Nuwa also felt very gratified.

After giving Changxi a few more instructions, she turned and left this place.

However, as she left the place where the sisters Xihe and Changxi were in seclusion, she could not help but mutter, "Speaking of which, Lu Yun really has not come for a long time. Last time he said he was going to enter Pangu Hall, could it be that he really gained something?"

Nuwa wanted to use her Supernatural Power to investigate the situation outside, but she soon discovered that the outside world she perceived was completely different from what she had imagined.

"This place... is not the Great Desolation?!"

Nuwa's expression suddenly changed drastically, her face full of disbelief.

Because the Map of Mountains and Rivers was now Lu Yun's Spiritual Treasure, he had always carried it with him, and after opening the Qiankun World, he naturally brought it into the Qiankun World.

Therefore, what Nuwa was perceiving through her Supernatural Power at this moment was naturally Lu Yun's Qiankun World!

"How is this possible? When did Lu Yun leave the Great Desolation?!"

Nuwa had not expected at all that a casual investigation would lead to such a discovery.

If she could not still sense Lu Yun's aura, she would have even suspected that the Map of Mountains and Rivers had been snatched by other Great Desolation powerhouses and then sent into some small world.

But it was precisely because she sensed Lu Yun's aura, and yet discovered that the Map of Mountains and Rivers was in a strange small world, that Nuwa was even more astonished.

Her heart stirred, and she guessed, "Could it be that this is actually the secret of Pangu Hall? That Pangu Hall actually hides a special small world?"

Thinking of this, Nuwa suddenly felt an even stronger curiosity about the world outside.

After all, she knew the uniqueness of Pangu Hall; even they, the Saints, could not investigate it. Now, because of Lu Yun, she had the opportunity to get to the bottom of it, so how could she not be curious?

Nuwa's first thought was to go out and take a good look at the small world outside.

But she then hesitated, "Although Houtu agreed to let Lu Yun enter Pangu Hall, she did not agree to let me enter. Is it not inappropriate for me to just go out like this?"

Although she was a Saint, she still respected Lu Yun and Houtu.

Therefore, she decided that after going out, she would first ask for Lu Yun's opinion.

Thus, she began to try to transmit her voice to Lu Yun, asking, "Lu Yun, where are you?"

As a result, Lu Yun not only responded to her but also gave her an answer she had completely not expected: "This is a world I opened up myself!"

"What?!"

Nuwa widened her eyes abruptly, her face full of incredulity.

Lu Yun opened up a world himself? This matter shocked Nuwa even more than if she had entered Pangu Hall herself!

After all, Lu Yun's cultivation was only at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level. If it were opening a cave dwelling within the Great Desolation, it would not be a big problem, but to open up a small world, the difficulty was not small!

Wait!

Nuwa was suddenly startled, because she discovered another thing: "You... you have actually broken through to the Quasi-Saint level?!"

Lu Yun chuckled and replied, "That is right. I went into Pangu Hall, triggered some insights, and then I broke through!"

Nuwa's heart was filled with turbulent waves!

Although she was very happy to see Lu Yun's strength improve, the speed of Lu Yun's improvement was simply too terrifying! Nuwa had always thought she had a sufficient understanding of Lu Yun's comprehension, but she was refreshed by him time and time again! After a moment of shock, she finally managed to control her emotions with great difficulty.

She thought for a moment and said, "Since this is a world you opened up, you should not mind if I take a look around, right?"

"Of course I do not mind!"

Lu Yun responded quickly, his voice revealing a hint of pride, "Empress, please feel free to come out and look around. If there are any shortcomings, it would be a perfect opportunity for you to provide some guidance."

Lu Yun had always been very respectful toward Nuwa.

Not only because Nuwa was the Holy Mother of the Human Race and possessed great power, but also because of the help and guidance she had given him in the past.

Now, being able to host Nuwa in his own world, he also felt very happy and proud in his heart.

Upon hearing this, Nuwa no longer hesitated; with a thought, her figure appeared in Lu Yun's Qiankun World.

But just after stepping into this world, Nuwa's expression could not help but change: "This world of yours... is actually completely independent of the Great Desolation?!"

Why did Nuwa make such a judgment?

That was because she discovered that at this moment, she had actually lost contact with the Primordial Heavenly Dao! One must know that she is a Heavenly Dao Saint and has a close connection with the Primordial Heavenly Dao. Yet at this moment, she could not sense the existence of the Primordial Heavenly Dao at all, which meant that this world she was currently in had completely broken free from the control of the Primordial Heavenly Dao!

Even Nuwa felt extremely shocked by this situation.

She could not help but turn her head to look at Lu Yun and ask, "Lu Yun, how on earth did you manage to do this?!"

Lu Yun smiled slightly and explained, "Your Majesty, this is actually a world opened up by a special cultivation technique I practice. This technique allows me to open up a world within my body, and this world can continuously expand and perfect itself as my cultivation level improves."

Upon hearing this, Nuwa felt shocked once again in her heart.

As a Saint, she naturally knew that techniques for opening up an internal world were not rare, but she had never heard of one capable of opening up a world so vast and independent of the Primordial Heavenly Dao! She could not help but ask, "Lu Yun, can you tell me what kind of opportunity you obtained in Pangu Hall?"

Lu Yun nodded readily: "Of course!"

Subsequently, he briefly recounted his encounter in Pangu Hall and the reaction of the Ancestral Witches to it.

After listening, Nuwa was speechless for a long time.

After she recovered, she could not help but sigh: "Lu Yun, your comprehension is truly enviable. If the technique you created were to spread, I fear it would incite competition among countless powerhouses of the Great Desolation."

Lu Yun nodded, not bothering to correct Nuwa regarding the matter of him creating the technique himself.

He just smiled and said, "Your Majesty, would you like to take a good look at this world of mine?"

"Alright!"

Nuwa nodded, temporarily putting aside the matter of losing contact with the Primordial Heavenly Dao.

She sensed it carefully and felt a completely different aura. The spiritual Qi of heaven and earth here was much thinner than that of the Primordial World, but it possessed a unique charm and warmth.

Although this world was newly born and fragile, it revealed a vibrant aura everywhere. The mountains and rivers were beautiful, and the vegetation was lush, as if everything was developing in a wonderful direction.

"This world..." Nuwa felt the unique charm of this world and could not help but exclaim, "It is truly remarkable! Lu Yun, you actually opened up such a world by your own power!"

Hearing this, Lu Yun smiled modestly and said, "This is also thanks to your guidance and help, Your Majesty. Otherwise, relying on my own power alone, I don't know how many years it would have taken to open up such a world."

Nuwa shook her head gently and said, "No, this is entirely the result of your own effort and comprehension. The help I could give you was limited; the one who truly achieved this step is you yourself."

While speaking, Nuwa's divine sense also swept through this world.

She discovered more differences in the structure of this world compared to the Primordial World, yet they also shared the same underlying principles.

Although this world was small, it was exquisitely crafted. Every inch of land contained Lu Yun's heart and sweat, and every wisp of spiritual Qi condensed Lu Yun's will and belief, making her have to admire it.

At the same time, Nuwa also discovered the Mysterious Yellow Qi that had just been born, as well as the wisps of Chaos Spiritual Qi that Lu Yun had captured from Chaos with great magic power, knowing that this world still had infinite potential and possibilities.

Suddenly, her heart stirred, and she said to Lu Yun, "Lu Yun, have you ever thought about making this world of yours more perfect?"

Lu Yun was stunned upon hearing this, then immediately understood Nuwa's meaning, his eyes lighting up as he said, "Your Majesty, you mean..."

"That's right," Nuwa nodded and said, "I can help you draw in more spiritual Qi and living beings from the Primordial World to make your world more prosperous and powerful."

"This..." Lu Yun hesitated for a moment, but ultimately shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but I still want to rely on my own power to perfect this world."

Lu Yun knew in his heart that Nuwa was doing this entirely out of kindness, and with Nuwa's help, his world would undoubtedly grow faster. But he also knew that if he did this, he would inevitably become dependent on Nuwa and lose his ability to be independent, which was not what he wanted.

He wanted a world and power that belonged entirely to himself! Nuwa also understood Lu Yun's thoughts and smiled: "Since you don't like introducing spiritual Qi and living beings from the Primordial World, then I will change the way I help you."

Lu Yun asked curiously, "What way?"

Nuwa smiled and said, "What this Saint is most skilled at is the Way of Creation!"

Once these words were spoken, Lu Yun's eyes lit up as well.

That's right!

He had almost forgotten that Nuwa was the existence who could even create the Human Race and Proved the Dao and Became a Saint because of it.

Then, if Nuwa took action to create some life for this Qiankun World of his, it would be as easy as turning over one's hand! The biggest difference between this method and introducing them from the Great Desolation was that these newly created lives would belong entirely to Lu Yun's world!

Even if they looked similar to the living beings of the Great Desolation on the outside, their inner essence would definitely be completely different!

And with Nuwa's help, this world of his could also grow more rapidly!

Lu Yun would naturally not let such a good thing pass by.

He solemnly bowed to Nuwa and said, "Then I will have to trouble you to help, Your Majesty!"

"Then you watch carefully!"

As Nuwa spoke, she raised her fair hand slightly, and mysterious Creation Power began to flow at her fingertips.

Immediately, Lu Yun felt the vitality in his Qiankun World begin to flourish! (End of chapter)
