Chapter 217: Fuxi Gains Insight into the Opportunity to Prove the Dao

Inside the Qiankun World.

The twelve Ancestral Witches stood upon the earth like twelve pillars of this world.

Their entire bodies radiated profound fluctuations of laws, each unique yet echoing one another, as if they were weaving together into another marvelous set of rules.

When Nuwa and Fuxi, who had been sent into this world by Lu Yun earlier, discovered all of this, they were plunged into deep shock.

Clearly, they had never expected that such a scene could be witnessed within Lu Yun's world.

They were even more surprised that the twelve Ancestral Witches were actually capable of entering a state of enlightenment.

And after the shock, they soon discovered the Human Race, who were cultivating within Lu Yun's world by taking advantage of the superior environment of heaven and earth.

Without a doubt, the enlightened state of the twelve Ancestral Witches also held immense benefits for these human cultivators!

Many of them directly comprehended certain laws, and some even touched the threshold of the Great Luo Golden Immortal as a result.

Let alone these humans, even Nuwa triggered some inspiration under these circumstances and could not help but carefully contemplate the Earthly Dao rules of Lu Yun's world.

Fuxi, however, felt no such stirrings; he simply let Nuwa contemplate on the side while he carefully observed the situation of Lu Yun's world.

Lu Yun's world was newly opened, and various living beings were evolving rapidly; he found it particularly interesting and observed it for a while longer.

During this observation, Fuxi actually entered a state of selflessness. Time passed unknowingly, and it was not until the law aura radiating from Houtu underwent a violent change that he was jolted awake.

Fuxi looked around with a somewhat dazed expression, when suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck, and a realization emerged.

"So that is it; so this is the opportunity for me to prove the Dao!"

Fuxi could not help but laugh heartily, his laughter even startling Nuwa, who had been contemplating the Great Dao.

Nuwa looked at Fuxi in surprise and asked curiously, "Brother, what have you discovered? Why are you so happy?"

Fuxi said excitedly, "Little sister, I have found the opportunity for me to prove the Dao!"

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Nuwa also revealed a look of pleasant surprise.

Although Fuxi was already at the peak of the Quasi-Saint cultivation level and could be considered a top-tier powerhouse in the Great Desolation, he was still one step away from being a Saint.

This step seemed very close, yet it was as difficult to cross as a natural chasm.

Countless powerhouses at the peak of the Quasi-Saint level were stuck at this step, unable to make any progress for the rest of their lives.

Therefore, even though Fuxi had previously obtained the Hongmeng Purple Qi and had been in seclusion within the Mountain and River Map for so long without touching the opportunity to prove the Dao, Nuwa felt it was normal, albeit a bit regrettable.

After all, it had taken her countless ages after obtaining the Hongmeng Purple Qi before she proved the Dao and became a Saint by chance.

And the Three Pure Ones and the Western Two Sages had only successively proven the Dao ten thousand years after she became a Saint.

In Nuwa's view, if Fuxi could prove the Dao within ten thousand years, it would already be very fast.

But now, Fuxi actually said he had found the opportunity to prove the Dao; how could Nuwa not be pleasantly surprised? Fuxi took a deep breath, allowed his excited mood to calm down slightly, and then slowly recounted the insights he had just gained.

It turned out that while observing the evolution of living beings in this world, he discovered that when Lu Yun created life, he also gave many beasts that originally lacked intelligence the opportunity to awaken it. After these beings awakened their intelligence, they learned to think and slowly developed their own civilization; although still crude, it already had the embryonic form of a civilization.

This made Fuxi suddenly realize that his Dao should be Humanity! But Humanity should not be limited to the Human Race; it should be the Dao of all living things!

Just like the "Earthly Dao" that Houtu and the others were contemplating at this moment, although it was based on Reincarnation, it was not limited to Reincarnation.

Fuxi slowly explained his thoughts.

After listening, Nuwa also revealed a look of deep agreement and praised, "Brother, you truly have heaven-sent talent. To have comprehended your own Dao from the world Lu Yun created—it is truly admirable!"

Fuxi smiled and said, "This is also thanks to Lu Yun. If he hadn't created this world and let me see the evolution of different living beings, I fear it would have taken me a long time to figure this out."

At this moment, Nuwa also noticed that Houtu had finished her cultivation and was flying toward Lu Yun.

She swept her divine sense and saw the Twelve-Rank Reincarnation Purple Lotus in Lu Yun's hand.

She saw the nature of this object at a glance and also understood why Houtu had finished her cultivation at this time. Because this object had a huge connection with her and was also the key to her proving the Dao! Thinking of this, Nuwa said to Fuxi, "Brother, let us go over and take a look!"

"Good!"

Fuxi nodded.

Immediately, he and Nuwa flew toward Lu Yun and Houtu.

At this time, Houtu stood before Lu Yun, her gaze locked onto the Reincarnation Purple Lotus, and she became increasingly certain in her heart: this was the key to her proving the Dao! She wanted to speak up and ask Lu Yun to give it to her, but she did not know how to bring it up.

After all, this was a Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure; she knew how important it was, so how could she ask for it casually?

But before she could speak, Lu Yun had already handed the Twelve-Rank Reincarnation Purple Lotus over.

"Houtu, take it. This object is the key to opening the Earthly Dao," Lu Yun said with a smile.

Hearing this, Houtu was suddenly struck by inspiration and understood why the Earthly Dao of the Great Desolation was not manifest and why the Heavenly Dao was supreme!

The Earthly Dao was originally an opportunity left by Pangu for the Wu Clan. Once the twelve Ancestral Witches grew up and deployed the Dutian Shensha Array, they could naturally communicate with the origin of the Earthly Dao and enter the Earthly Realm.

But the current Great Desolation could not perceive the existence of the Earthly Realm at all, because the Earthly Realm that carried the Earthly Dao had been sealed!

As for who sealed the Earthly Dao, one did not need to think to know it must be Hongjun!

Because he walked the path of merging with the Heavenly Dao and then controlling the Great Desolation. If there existed an Earthly Dao that could rival it, once someone integrated into the Earthly Dao, they would be on equal footing with him; how could he then speak of controlling the Great Desolation?

Fortunately, the Great Expansion is fifty, the Heavenly Derivation is forty-nine, and one escapes!

Under the Heavenly Dao, all things have a glimmer of life, and the seal of the Earthly Dao naturally had a chance to be opened; the key to reopening it was this Twelve-Rank Chaos Purple Lotus before her! After completely realizing all this, Houtu suddenly felt infinite gratitude toward Lu Yun!

She naturally knew that if Lu Yun had not stopped her earlier, she would have likely already transformed herself into Reincarnation and forcibly opened the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

In that case, she could have completed the reincarnation of the Great Desolation's living beings, but she would have had to sacrifice herself, Houtu would no longer be a Witch, and she would have completely lost the opportunity to awaken the complete Earthly Dao, while also causing the other Ancestral Witches to miss their chance to prove the Dao! But now, Lu Yun had not only let her contemplate the Earthly Dao but even helped her find the crucial Twelve-Rank Reincarnation Purple Lotus; this kindness left Houtu moved beyond measure.

Thinking back on all that had passed, the emotionally stirred Houtu suddenly hugged Lu Yun tightly.

And this scene happened to fall into the eyes of Fuxi and Nuwa, who had just flown over, leaving them both stunned.
