The Primordial Era: Starting from Being Forced to Become an Apprentice of the Three Pure Ones

Soon, on the Netherworld Blood Sea, Zhen Yuanzi and the Blood God's clone of the Styx River were locked in a fierce battle.

The entire sea of ​​blood surged with towering waves, as the malevolent energy and the essence of the Earth element clashed violently.

Both of them went all out, and each clash caused the void to tremble and blood to evaporate.

Although the individual strength of these Blood God Child clones of the Styx is far inferior to that of Zhen Yuanzi,

However, its advantage lies in its large number, mutual support, and the inexhaustible replenishment from the Blood Sea Source.

For a time, they managed to hold Zhen Yuanzi back.

However, what Zhen Yuanzi didn't know was that the red cloud he so desperately wanted to find was no longer in the sea of ​​blood, but in the Qingfeng Peak of Kunlun Mountain.

Tongtian had already made his move the moment Hongyun self-destructed his primordial spirit.

The sage used his methods to conceal the secrets of heaven, and silently guided that wisp of soul to the Shangqing Palace.

When Hongyun's soul was brought here, it had already fallen into silence due to the severe damage from the self-destruction, and was completely devoid of consciousness.

Tongtian raised his hand and pointed, a ray of clear light entered into it, barely stabilizing its nearly disintegrated soul.

"It's quite rare that this red cloud has transferred all its life memories, foundation in the Dao, and insights into cultivation into its soul."

Normally, cultivators would entrust everything to their primordial spirit or true spirit, but Hongyun's approach was somewhat surprising.

Tongtian glanced at Taibai beside him with a hint of surprise. At this moment, he finally understood that his disciple had probably planned all of this all along.

He didn't ask any further questions, but only said to Taibai:

"My good disciple, Hongyun's soul has been preserved. However, his physical body is severely damaged."

A suitable physical body is needed to nourish one's spiritual practice; otherwise, it will be difficult to sustain it for long.

Upon hearing this, Taibai quickly began to ponder.

Just then, a thought suddenly became clear: it was about the goddess Nuwa, who was in the Nuwa Palace.

He still retains 10% of the human race's fortune, which might be enough to persuade the Goddess Nuwa to reshape a physical body for Hongyun.

The reason he didn't entrust his fortune to his teacher, Taiqing, was also due to some concerns.

If it were truly given to Taiqing, although Taiqing would gain an extra ten percent of fortune, he would incur an even heavier karmic debt to Nuwa as a result.

Even if Nuwa was a saint, she might not have been pleased with this kind of involvement.

At that time, they will likely not only harbor resentment towards Taiqing, but also have a poor impression of him.

If this really creates a grudge, there will likely be a lot of unnecessary trouble in the future.

"Master, I wish to go to Nuwa's Palace and ask my aunt Nuwa to help rebuild Hongyun's physical body. Is this feasible?"

"Nuwa became a saint by creating the human race. She was the first in the primordial world in terms of the laws of creation. Nuwa could create a pretty good physical body for Hongyun."

"But what do you intend to use to persuade Junior Sister Nuwa? Do you need my help?"

"I still possess a portion of human destiny within me, which may be used in exchange."

Upon hearing this, Tongtian's eyes flashed with approval, and he nodded, saying, "That's quite appropriate."

Then, he turned to the faint soul of Hongyun, flicked his finger, and a golden light entered the space between its eyebrows, turning into a golden mark.

"Your consideration is thorough, so I will give you another boost."

This mark has been planted deep within his soul. If he harbors rebellious thoughts in the future, karmic fire will ignite on its own, and his true spirit will perish.

Furthermore, I will teach you a soul-controlling technique to ensure you can restrain it.

Having said that, Tongtian's fingertip flashed with clear light again, and a point appeared between Taibai's eyebrows, instantly imprinting the incantation into his consciousness.

"Go."

"This disciple takes his leave."

Taibai bowed respectfully, then with a flick of his sleeve, he drew Hongyun's soul into the space within his sleeve.

With a casual wave of his hand, Tongtian sent a beam of clear light enveloping Taibai, tearing through the void and heading straight towards the chaos beyond the heavens.

With the blessing of the sage's power, it was not long before Taibai had traversed the vast chaos and arrived at the palace of Nuwa.

The palace was suspended in the chaotic energy, its body seemingly formed naturally from chaotic rocks and the breath soil of the nine heavens, its entire body flowing with five colors of light: blue, yellow, red, black, and white.

Taibai stood suspended in mid-air, gazing at the sacred palace before him, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly:

As expected of a sage's sacred site, it is truly extraordinary.

Although he had seen the magnificent and solemn Zixiao Palace, the Nuwa Palace was completely different.

Outside the palace flows an endless stream of creative power, gentle as spring, ever-renewing.

A moment later, Nuwa seemed to sense that Taibai was waiting outside the palace, and a female cultivator gracefully walked out of the palace.

The female cultivator was beautiful and graceful. Taibai knew at a glance that she must be a close attendant of the Goddess Nuwa.

"Young friend Taibai, the Empress already knows your purpose. Please come inside with me."

Taibai immediately bowed and said, "Thank you for leading the way, senior."

The female cultivator nodded slightly and turned to walk into the palace.

The moment Taibai stepped into the hall, his feet did not touch solid ground, but rather ripples spread out in circles.

The ripples reflected the myriad aspects of human life and the diverse forms of humanity.

Looking up at the dome, it wasn't painted with star maps, but rather with countless miniature worlds of life.

At the deepest part of the palace, hangs a ball of light that shines eternally, which is the manifestation of the origin of the Great Dao of Creation.

On the cloud bed, Nuwa leaned lazily, propped up by her hands, her clear eyes quietly fixed on Taibai.

"Your Majesty, I have brought my young friend Taibai. I will take my leave now."

Nuwa nodded gently and waved her hand slightly, and the female cultivator quietly left the main hall.

Taibai straightened his clothes, stepped forward, and knelt down:

"Disciple Taibai greets Martial Aunt Nuwa."

Normally, there is no need for a senior martial uncle and junior martial nephew to perform this kneeling ceremony.

This time, however, Taibai knelt down and respectfully bowed three times to Nuwa on the cloud bed before getting up.

"Speak," he said, "Since you have come to see me with such great courtesy, you must have something to ask of me. What is it this time?"

Nuwa's voice descended from above, clear and melodious yet carrying a hint of aloof arrogance, her tone even colder than when they last met.

Taibai understood that the distance in the tone was mostly due to his teacher, Taiqing, who had also developed some prejudice against him.

He didn't offer any further explanation, but simply took a step forward, and with a gentle flick of his sleeve, Hongyun's soul slowly appeared before Nuwa's throne.

Nuwa's gaze narrowed slightly, a hint of genuine surprise flashing in her eyes.

She has attained enlightenment and sainthood, and is naturally aware of the workings of the Heavenly Way.

Hongyun's fate was sealed, and her true spirit was destined to scatter. This was a calamity ordained by Heaven, and she had already foreseen it.

But now, the soul of Hongyun appeared perfectly intact before him.

However, when her gaze fell into the depths of that soul, and she sensed that all the causal threads binding it had been severed,

A slight softening of the coldness in those usually calm and unwavering holy eyes.

If Hongyun still had unresolved karmic ties to her, she would absolutely not want to get involved in the slightest, and would probably immediately send Taibai out of Nuwa Palace.

Nuwa let out a soft sigh, her posture still languid, but her tone softened slightly:

"You've done a clean job, but what exactly are you trying to do?"

"Do you want me to help Hongyun rebuild his physical body?"
