Primordial Era: Jade Cauldron Forgot to Take on Disciples

Chapter 70 The Birth of Ancestor Caiyun

(Note: Nuwa's incarnation is the Fairy of Colorful Clouds, and her attendant is the Cloud Attendant. I think I made a mistake before, so I'm correcting it.)

Nuwa Palace.

The Cloud Boy controlled a cloud and wiped the enormous scales on Nuwa's snake tail.

"Crunch crunch~"

The sound of white clouds rubbing against scales rang out, and the scales were polished until they shone brightly, like a mirror.

Suddenly, Nuwa flicked her snake tail gently.

In the eyes of the Cloud Boy, Nuwa's small movement was like the collapse of the sky. The space-time around her was locked, and her great magical power was useless. She had nowhere to retreat and nowhere to escape.

Again!

Caiyun Tongzi sighed silently. He had helped Nuwa clean the scales of the snake's tail countless times over the years.

Fortunately, his master was Nuwa, who could revive him with a wave of her hand.

"Splat~"

Like swatting a mosquito, the Rainbow Boy collided with Nuwa's snake tail scales and turned into a cloud that scattered in all directions.

Nuwa awoke.

Returning in her avatar, her memories merged into her mind, and she opened her eyes again, a faint joy in them.

The atmosphere at Nuwa Palace changed from overcast to sunny; the thunderclouds dissipated, and sunlight was able to shine into the palace.

Nuwa was clearly in a good mood.

A divine intervention! Awesome!

After her divine manifestation, the emotional value derived from the compliments of mortals made Nuwa feel quite pleased.

This is why, even though she was already at the pinnacle, she still maintained close relationships with mortal beings.

She likes these little things.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that she created most of the living beings. Most of the monsters were created by her, so she is also revered as the mother of all living beings.

But this does not include procreation!

Humans are the product of the union of innate beings, and the human body is in harmony with the Great Dao. Therefore, the demon race she created will eventually take human form in order to have a chance to glimpse the Great Dao.

Nuwa pictured Yang Jian in her mind, and with a thought, Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, and the Eight Trigrams manifested around her.

"Little fellow, let me see what secrets you hold!"

After a long while, Nuwa frowned; she had gained nothing.

A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Even if the secrets of heaven are not revealed, she should be able to see something by relying on the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams passed down by her brother Fuxi.

Generally speaking, only those at the Golden Immortal level have the ability to detach themselves from their destiny, thus avoiding reincarnation and becoming impervious to all laws.

However, with Nuwa's cultivation level, determining the fate of a Golden Immortal was as easy as turning her hand. In this primordial world, the only ones she couldn't calculate were the Sages and her brother Fuxi.

After all, the Yin-Yang, Five Elements, and Eight Trigrams were deduced by Fuxi with the help of the Supreme Being's Taiji Diagram.

wrong!

Nuwa discovered the anomaly, not because she couldn't calculate it, but because Yang Jian had no destiny.

It's as if it suddenly appeared in the world.

Could he be the variable in this great calamity?

Interesting!

This trip was definitely worthwhile!

Every time a major calamity is about to occur, something unexpected happens, and this time it just happened to be my mother.

It must be the good karma accumulated from doing many good deeds and frequently manifesting miracles in the mortal world.

It was worth it to have the attendant open so many Nuwa temples in the prehistoric world!

With a smirk, she reversed the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams to fabricate a destiny for Yang Jian. With her intervention, no one in the world could discover that Yang Jian was not within the bounds of destiny.

First come, first served! Even if that brat Tongtian discovers Yang Jian's extraordinary abilities, he'll still have to follow me around eating my ass!

"Caiyun? Come see me."

After finishing all that, Nuwa called out, only to find that the surroundings were filled with the aura of the Rainbow Cloud Boy, and the dead clouds drifting by were the scattered remains of the Rainbow Cloud Boy.

Nuwa took out a mirror, waved it casually, and death clouds gathered in the sky. Then she pointed out a wisp of spiritual light, and time in Nuwa Palace instantly reversed.

The scene seems to be reversed, except for Nuwa.

After Nuwa saw that Caiyun Tongzi had been killed by her casual tail whip,

Once again, time was manipulated, and before the Rainbow Cloud Boy was killed, he was dragged out of the past and merged with the dead cloud in front of him.

The Cloud Boy was instantly brought back to life.

Joyfully, she said, "Caiyun greets Your Majesty."

Nuwa's eyes flashed with displeasure: "Caiyun, how long have you been following me?"

Upon hearing this, Caiyun Tongzi's joy at being resurrected vanished instantly, replaced by trepidation: "Your Majesty, I've lost count. I only remember being enlightened by Your Majesty not long after the creation of the primordial world, and I've been by Your Majesty's side ever since!"

"When I went out this time, I saw that the fate of the fox clan had been cut short. Why?"

Nuwa did not intend to confirm whether Caiyun Tongzi had done this, because only Hongxiuqiu could sever the fate of the fox clan.

Most of the demon races in the world were created by Nuwa using the Red Embroidered Ball, so naturally she could also manipulate their fates through the Red Embroidered Ball, fundamentally severing their path forward.

She would not interfere with the fate of any race.

It's not that I don't want to, but that I disdain it.

Only her attendant Caiyun was capable of doing this, and could use the red embroidered ball.

Therefore, there is no need to ask.

Upon hearing this, Caiyun Tongzi trembled with fear. He had thought that Goddess Nuwa would not notice such a trivial matter, especially since it was an old story from three thousand years ago.

It's his fault for being so merciful and not eliminating the root of the problem, which allowed Nuwa to discover the anomaly.

Nuwa used the term "this seat" instead of the more familiar "I" that she usually refers to.

Caiyun the Boy hurriedly prostrated himself on the ground, making a full-body prostration gesture, and then said, "Caiyun knows his mistake, Your Majesty, please forgive Caiyun."

Normally, if he angered Nuwa, as long as he did this, Nuwa would punish him slightly and eventually let him go.

The most severe punishment he ever received was merely cleaning the Nuwa Palace for a thousand years.

However, this time was unusual. He waited for a long time but did not hear Nuwa tell him to get up.

Nuwa's merciless voice rang out: "I ask you why you did this. Tell me the truth and do not hide anything. If it weren't for the fact that you have followed me for many years, I would have already taken action to extract your soul and refine your spirit."

The Cloud Boy bowed his head to the ground, his magical power surging wildly due to fear, and parts of his body even lost their human form and turned into smoke.

His voice trembled: "Three thousand years ago, there was a rumor that a fox demon of the Qingqiu fox clan had transformed into a beautiful form, so Caiyun went to see it."

Who would have thought that the fox demon would actually mock the empress, saying she was not as beautiful as the empress, and that a mere fox demon dared to embarrass the empress.

Enraged, Caiyun used the red embroidered ball to sever the fox clan's path to immortality, but she left room for maneuver and did not completely exterminate the fox clan.

"Noodles~ Hehe! But your memory doesn't say that."

Nuwa's eyes held a profound meaning as she slowly manipulated her fingers, causing chaos in the space-time of the Nuwa Palace. As she manipulated them, wisps of smoke rose from her fingertips.

The Cloud Boy sensed a familiar aura from the smoke rising from Nuwa's fingers. He was startled to discover that the smoke was actually himself.

Realizing that the mirror in Nuwa's hand was a magical artifact that could manipulate time and space, he suddenly realized that Nuwa had already extracted his soul and refined his spirit at a certain moment, knowing all his memories, and then reversed time.

"Your Majesty, please don't be angry. It was Caiyun who had lustful thoughts and her love was rejected, which led to this terrible mistake. These demons are just ants in the endless cycle of reincarnation. Caiyun's mistake was minor. Your Majesty, please don't be angry."

The Cloud Boy immediately kowtowed on the ground, kowtowing with great force, his head hitting the hard floor of the Nuwa Palace with a loud, muffled thud, like the sound of a bell.

"Thump~ thump~ thump~~"

But the coldness in Nuwa's eyes did not diminish at all: "Then let you also be an ant, go to that world for a while, and when you stand in front of me again, I will discuss right and wrong with you."

The voice just fell.

Caiyun Tongzi sensed that the golden, round Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal Dao Fruit in his sea of ​​consciousness suddenly shrank, cracks appeared, and the immortal energy accumulated within it rapidly dissipated.

His magical power was shrinking, and his cultivation was rapidly declining, falling from the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm to the Daluo Golden Immortal realm, and it was still falling.

Finally, I heard the sound of something breaking in my ear.

He was stunned. At that moment, his Primordial Golden Immortal Dao Fruit shattered, and he was reduced to a Great Luo Celestial Immortal.

In an instant, his heart turned to ashes.

A wave of dizziness washed over me, and when I came to my senses, I found myself no longer in Nuwa's Palace!

The scenery in front of them was an unnamed mountain forest.

He couldn't accept the current situation. He had stayed by Nuwa's side since he became conscious, and now that Nuwa had driven him away, it was as if he had died and his soul had been extinguished.

He roared, he went mad.

He spent countless years cultivating the Dao Fruit of the Primordial Golden Immortal.

All of this has come to nothing in an instant.

He hated himself for being too soft-hearted and not eradicating the fox clan completely, which led to this bitter outcome.

"Squeak squeak squeak~"

On the treetop, a cute squirrel carrying a pine cone came to Caiyun Tongzi and held up the pine cone, wanting to offer it to him.

Because of Caiyun's decline in cultivation, the immortal energy emanating from her body was so strong that all living beings around her could benefit greatly from it, whether she was walking, sitting, or lying down.

Therefore, the surrounding creatures naturally have a favorable impression of it.

At this moment, this cute little squirrel wants to please the Cloud Boy.

The little squirrel didn't know much, only that his great-great-great-great-grandfather had done the same thing and then received a blessing, becoming a celestial spirit pet.

It seems that this incredible fortune is finally his turn.

"How dare you, a mere ant, absorb the immortal energy dissipating from this Ancestor Caiyun!"

The Cloud Boy grinned maliciously and pointed a finger.

The next moment, she was incredibly cute.

The immortal energy that had just dissipated from the Jade Boy's Dao Fruit had already spread out.

This mountain is full of wildflowers.

The Cloud Boy exudes murderous intent.

Those who have absorbed my immortal energy will pay with their lives!

There is a path in the mountain, and there is a stone tablet beside the path. The three large characters "Fuling Mountain" are clearly written on the stone tablet.

Then.

The pitiful howls of dogs echoed through the mountains of Fuling.

The Cloud Boy emerged from a cave called Cloud Stack Cave, the cave behind him reeking of blood.

He cast a spell and chanted an incantation, and a clear spring appeared in the air, allowing him to wash his hands, which were covered in blood mist.

He was angry just now, so his methods were rather primitive.

The dog demon inside was quite capable; with its mere cultivation level of Refining Emptiness and Merging with the Dao, it actually managed to hold its own against him for two rounds using its supernatural powers.

In the end, she still couldn't escape being torn apart alive by him, but the mother dog and her puppy were teleported to an unknown place.

The killing intent in Caiyun Tongzi's heart weakened slightly at this moment. In his perception, he discovered a place shrouded by an array.

In a flash, he arrived at a lakeside.

There's a hint of a tiger demon from the realm of immortals here.

But they had already left.

There was also a wooden house shrouded in an array, a sophisticated array that was the work of a renowned sect.

Next to it stands another small wooden house.

The atmosphere there attracted him.

Caiyun Tongzi clenched his fists suddenly; he smelled a faint scent of a fox demon.

Although his cultivation level has fallen to the Celestial Immortal realm, he still retains some characteristics of the Golden Immortal realm for the time being.

If two more days had passed, he might not have realized that a fox demon had been here.

Judging from the lingering traces of its presence, it must have been less than a month since it left.

A murderous glint flashed in Caiyun Tongzi's eyes, and the small wooden house instantly exploded, sending wood chips flying everywhere.

It's all because of these vixens that he was kicked out by the Goddess Nuwa.

If he hadn't deliberately tormented these foxes three thousand years ago, but instead wiped out their entire clan, he wouldn't be facing this situation today.

But the fox was very good at hiding; apart from the strong smell in the wooden house, there was no trace of any other scent.

As for why the fox demon left its presence in this wooden house, something must have happened that caused it to lose its composure for a brief moment, which is why its presence remained.

He couldn't track the scent at the moment.

Soon, he turned his gaze to the small wooden house shrouded in the array.

After a moment's time, he finally managed to break the formation.

The method used in this formation is quite similar to that of the Qi Refiners of the Chan Sect.

I almost forgot, this isn't ancient times anymore, and they're not called Qi Refiners anymore.

Now they are all called Taoists, or ~ fellow Taoists!

When Caiyun Tongzi entered, he found some personal belongings, some Taoist robes, and several books made of jade slips.

The jade slip was engraved with a name: Shen Gongbao.
