Primordial Era: I am the chief disciple of the Three Pure Ones, the gatekeeper of the Great Dao.

Chapter 40: Drawing a pie in the sky for Nuwa, the son of Yuanfeng!

"Greetings, Aunt Nuwa!"

Cang Xuan bowed slightly in respect to Nuwa, expressing his deepest respect with a calm and composed expression.

There was neither arrogance nor humility.

"Uncle-Master, your jade slip was not sent to Master Taiqing, but was temporarily received by this disciple."

Cang Xuan said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Nuwa's expression remained unchanged, but a hint of coldness crept into her words: "So, you're saying it was you who blocked my jade slip?"

"Exactly."

Cang Xuan answered without hesitation, "The Three Pure Ones Master has assigned me to guard Kunlun and oversee all affairs of the Xuanmen."

"If you have any needs or questions, please feel free to ask me directly."

Cang Xuan remained calm, but he sighed inwardly. The Nuwa before him, though extremely majestic, was not a physical entity, but merely an illusion.

Therefore, even if he successfully kept her out of Kunlun, he would not receive any reward from the system.

Upon hearing this, Nuwa's attitude softened slightly: "So you are the prized disciple of Senior Brother Sanqing, and the second-generation head of my Xuanmen."

"I have long heard of your name."

"Having met you today, I can see that you truly live up to your reputation, with a solid foundation and extraordinary talent."

Knowing Cang Xuan's identity, she naturally showed more respect in her words.

The second-generation leader of the Xuanmen sect holds an extremely important position.

Moreover, Cang Xuan is the direct disciple of the Three Pure Ones, and his importance should not be underestimated.

Cang Xuan humbly replied, "Uncle-Master, you flatter me. My achievements today are entirely due to the meticulous teaching and nurturing of the Three Pure Ones."

"The changes in the human race over the past thousand years have actually been driven by my disciples."

"If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me."

His gaze was sincere, and he wore a smile that felt like a gentle spring breeze.

Even Nuwa could hardly feel any dissatisfaction towards him.

After all, he was not only her junior, but also her junior apprentice.

Nuwa nodded in praise: "Truly worthy of being the esteemed disciple of the Three Pure Ones."

"Now, the human race's destiny, which I control, has been divided up by others. What are your thoughts on this?"

His words carried a hint of mockery, clearly indicating his anticipation for Cang Xuan's answer.

She knew Taiqing Laozi's character well and would never push this matter onto his disciples.

This means that, just as Cang Xuan said, everything was orchestrated by him behind the scenes.

"The aura of a great calamity pervaded the land, causing fear and unease among all the races of the primordial world."

"The hatred between the demon race and the witch race is deeply rooted, while the Celestial Court is eyeing the power of the Heavenly Dao on Penglai Immortal Island."

Cang Xuan paused for a moment, then continued:

"Back when the human race was first born, my uncle declared to the primordial world his determination to protect the human race."

"But now, that deadline is fast approaching."

"If humans do not have enough power to protect themselves, they are very likely to become prey for other races."

"Does Uncle-Master really want to see such a tragic scene?"

Nuwa's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.

As the Holy Mother of the Human Race and the Demon Emperor of the Demon Race, she naturally did not want to see either side get hurt.

But Cangxuan's words made her realize that the future situation might be even more severe than she had imagined.

"impossible!"

Nuwa resolutely declared, "I am a sage of the Heavenly Dao and the Holy Mother of Humanity. Who dares to easily offend humanity and trigger a great calamity?"

Cang Xuan chuckled softly and countered, "If the demon race were to attack the human race, what would you choose, Uncle-Master?"

"You are the emperor of the demon race and the saintly mother of the human race. Which of these two identities is more important?"

"Would you turn against the Heavenly Emperor Di Jun, the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, and even your elder brother Fu Xi for the sake of humanity?"

Nuwa fell silent, and the Daoist aura around her began to tremble slightly, clearly deeply touched by Cangxuan's words.

Through the river of life, she seemed to see the tragic fate of humanity in the future.

"It really happened just as you said!"

Nuwa sighed softly, a deep sense of powerlessness showing in her eyes.

"Now, I only have one path left to take: seclusion in Nuwa Heaven."

"Whether I help the demon race or the human race, it will taint me with endless karma and cause my Dao heart to be covered in dust."

After attaining sainthood, she was restricted by the rules of Heaven and could no longer participate in worldly affairs as she pleased.

She felt very helpless about this.

Seeing this, Cang Xuan gently comforted her, saying, "The Heavenly Dao Saints do not interfere in worldly affairs. This is a rule established by Dao Ancestor Hongjun after he merged with the Dao. I understand the helplessness of my Aunt Nuwa."

"But now the Human Cult has taken away your human race's fortune. From another perspective, as the human race continues to grow stronger, you may also gain many benefits from it."

"If humanity awakens in the future, your achievements will be immeasurable."

He tried to paint a bright future for Nuwa, hoping she would continue to support humanity and not interfere in his important affairs.

After listening, Nuwa showed a thoughtful expression and said, "In the primordial world, the Heavenly Dao holds a supreme position, and it is extremely difficult for the Human Dao to awaken."

"But since you are willing to assist the human race, I will no longer be obsessed with the so-called human race's destiny. I am grateful for your enlightenment."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "However, I hope that among the human race, there will not be a situation where the Human Religion becomes dominant and the Holy Mother is ignored."

This is her request, and also her concern.

Cang Xuan smiled and nodded after hearing this: "Please rest assured, Aunt Nuwa."

He did not refuse Nuwa's request, which was undoubtedly a commitment of great significance to the future of the human race.

"Excellent!"

Nuwa nodded in satisfaction after hearing this.

Her figure gradually began to dissipate, and the jade slip shattered, turning into Daoist energy and disappearing into the void.

Cang Xuan gazed in the direction where Nuwa had disappeared, and silently praised in his heart, "A Heavenly Sage, truly extraordinary!"

In the past, the Three Pure Ones were always kind and benevolent, and never showed Cangxuan the majesty of saints.

Nuwa's arrival just now carried the implication of questioning Laozi, the Supreme Being.

The aura and Daoist charm of that celestial sage were released without reservation, as if they could instantly crush people into powder.

Fortunately, Cang Xuan, clad in the Taixu Divine Armor, stood there steadily.

When Nuwa learned of his identity, she also put away her arrogant attitude.

"Now, I'll lie here and wait for the destined person to come to Kunlun Mountain!"

Cang Xuan lay leisurely on the rattan chair.

The surrounding immortal energy gathered, and the law of power appeared and disappeared around him.

The Taixu Divine Armor on his body shone with a subtle, mysterious light, as if it perfectly suited him.

Meanwhile, in another corner of the primordial world, the aftershocks of the Dragon-Han Calamity continued.

Yuan Feng was at a disadvantage in the battle with Zu Long and fled to the Southern Ming Continent.

Since then, no one has known Yuan Feng's whereabouts.

Whether it perished or rose from the ashes like a phoenix, no one can know.

The only clue was the two enormous eggs left behind by Yuan Feng.

These two eggs reside atop a sacred mountain, continuously absorbing the essence of the sun and moon and the Daoist principles of heaven and earth, giving birth to new life.

Not long ago, the two giant eggs finally broke open, and two new beings were born.

They are Kong Xuan and the Golden-Winged Roc!

However, at this moment, the two newborn brothers looked quite disheveled.

They were desperately fleeing from the highest point in the sky, as if they were escaping some extremely terrifying pursuit.
