Primordial Era: I am a treasure trove, full of magical treasures.

Nuwa slowly opened her eyes.

Those beautiful eyes, which once reflected the evolution of mountains and rivers and the birth and death of stars, now held an unprecedented depth and clarity. Above the auspicious clouds, three pure white lotuses slowly rotated, scattering their clear light, blending seamlessly with the ever-flowing Daoist energy of creation around her, without the slightest hindrance.

She lowered her head slightly, looking at her fair, jade-like hands. Countless tiny sparks of life seemed to leap, combine, vanish, and be reborn at her fingertips. A sudden realization rose from the depths of her heart—the path to the highest realm had never been so clear and solid as it was at this moment.

"I see..." She sighed softly, her voice carrying a sense of peace that had been settled, and a hint of eager excitement. "With the Three Corpses perfected and the Laws resonating, all that remains is that final step... and then everything will fall into place naturally."

Nuwa raised her eyes, her gaze falling on Xuanbao not far away. He was sitting cross-legged, focused, with a faint, radiant light flowing around him, clearly also cultivating using the energy of this place while protecting himself. Seeing that he was unharmed, Nuwa's eyes warmed even more.

"Little brother," she called softly.

Xuanbao immediately snapped out of his reverie. Seeing that Nuwa had awakened and her aura was complete and even stronger than before, he beamed with joy: "Sister! You succeeded? How do you feel?"

"Better than ever before." Nuwa smiled and nodded, then stood up and walked to Xuanbao's side. She gently stroked his head with her delicate hand, her praise and affection undisguised. "Thanks to your Pure White Lotus and Holy Water, not only has your foundation been fully restored, but you are even better than before. Your three corpses rely on the same spiritual treasure, becoming one harmonious whole. The path ahead is clear."

"That's good!" Xuanbao breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that everything had gone smoothly for Nuwa.

Nuwa's eyes flickered slightly, and she nodded, saying, "I have immersed myself in the Dao of Creation for countless eons, and I thought I had already reached the pinnacle. This time, through the purification of the White Lotus, I have cleansed my origins, enlightened my mind and seen my true nature, and realized that my past attachments were still bound by conventions. Creation is not only about 'birth,' but also about 'death'; it is not merely about 'creation,' but also about 'balance.' The true essence of the Great Dao lies in the cycle of birth and death, and the harmony of yin and yang."

"Now that the path ahead is clear, it is time to take this crucial step."

"Sister, no!"

"Um?"

"Brother, why... are you stopping me?" Nuwa asked, looking completely bewildered.

"Sister, it's not that I want to stop you... it's just that if you're not prepared and take that final step, someone will definitely try to stop you!"

"Hongjun!"

Nuwa's expression changed, and she uttered two large words with a grim face. Nuwa's expression instantly darkened. To be honest, Hongjun in his current state was indeed beyond her current ability to contend with...

Xuanbao hurriedly said, "Sister, Hongjun is the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao. He will definitely not sit idly by and watch you escape his control. Now we need to plan carefully and first consolidate our cultivation to maintain our peak condition."

Nuwa took a deep breath, suppressing her anxiety, and nodded, saying, "You are absolutely right. I acted impulsively."

"Junior sister, you really shouldn't be too anxious. Listen to what Xuanbao says and stabilize your cultivation level first."

Unbeknownst to them, ripples had appeared in the void. Three beams of clear light descended from beyond the heavens, their aura vast and boundless. One embodied the profound and subtle power of Taiqing, the majestic grandeur of Yuqing, and the sharp and piercing edge of Shangqing—the Three Pure Ones had arrived together. Laozi, the leader, spoke.

The arrival of the Three Pure Ones. Nuwa was taken aback at first, then she rose to greet them: "Fellow Daoists, what brings you here?" Tongtian laughed: "Naturally, it was this little Xuanbao who summoned us."

Nuwa turned her gaze to Xuanbao, who scratched his head and smiled, "Sister, please don't be offended. I was uneasy when I saw that you were about to break through, so I secretly sent a message to our three masters... After all, this matter is of great importance."

Laozi lightly swept his whisk, his expression calm: "Junior sister, please don't blame Xuanbao. He was just trying to be safe. Just now, my two brothers and I sensed something unusual in the heavens, and the will of Heaven seemed to have noticed it. If you rashly take that step now, you may be punished by Heaven, and Hongjun... may appear to intervene."

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded, his tone solemn: "Indeed. The Way of Heaven is constant, and the positions of saints are limited. Although Junior Sister has restored her foundation and perfected her Three Corpses, if she wishes to attain that transcendent state, it will inevitably cause the Way of Heaven to tremble. Given Hongjun's current profound integration with the Dao, he will certainly not allow any unforeseen changes to occur without his 'approval'."

The Tongtian Sect Leader raised his sword-like eyebrows slightly. Although he did not speak, the sword intent in his eyes was faintly visible. The aura around him resonated with the Daoist energy of creation flowing around Nuwa, as if he was silently stating his position.

Nuwa remained silent for a moment, then looked at the Three Pure Ones, and then at Xuanbao, her eyes filled with complex emotions. She naturally understood the implications—if she were to force a breakthrough at this moment, it would be tantamount to challenging the existing order of Heaven, and Hongjun would surely intervene to stop her, or even… suppress her.

"Then, in the opinion of my fellow Daoists, what should we do?" Nuwa asked slowly, her voice now calm.

Lao Tzu gazed into the distance, looking towards the chaotic heavens: "Under the Dao of Heaven, there is always a glimmer of hope. What my junior sister lacks is neither strength nor the Dao, but rather 'opportunity' and 'recognition'."

"Opportunity, status?" Nuwa kept repeating.

Tongtian laughed loudly, his sword energy surging with his words: "The heavens move according to the law, but they are not monolithic. Although Hongjun holds the power of the Heavenly Dao, there are fifty Great Daos and forty-nine Heavenly Evolutions, with one missing. That sliver of hope is the chance to break the deadlock, and isn't that missing one both far away and right before our eyes?" As he spoke, the three Pure Ones turned their gazes to Xuanbao, who was watching the show from the side.

Xuanbao was listening intently when suddenly several gazes fell upon him. He jumped in surprise, pointed at his nose, and exclaimed in disbelief, "Me? The one who vanished?"

"I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!" Xuanbao would never admit that he was the one who escaped. He just wanted to be a simple second-generation strongest in the prehistoric world...

Seeing that Xuanbao denied it, everyone just smiled slightly and didn't say anything more. However, everyone knew in their hearts that Xuanbao's knowledge of certain things and his ability to obtain so many 12th-grade Pure World White Lotuses proved that Xuanbao was not simple...

The Three Pure Ones then engaged in a philosophical discussion with Nuwa. With the Three Pure Ones now at the sixth level of the Saintly Realm, and Nuwa, who was only at the peak of the Quasi-Victorious Realm, discussing the Dao, Nuwa naturally benefited the latter.

Nuwa listened intently, sometimes frowning in deep thought, sometimes smiling in sudden realization, her aura becoming increasingly harmonious with the rise and fall of the Daoist sounds. The pure white lotus of the Pure World shone down, illuminating her serene and focused face, making her resemble an enlightened deity.

After a long while, the chanting gradually subsided. Nuwa slowly opened her eyes, her gaze gleaming with divine light, her aura even more solid than before. She rose and solemnly bowed to the Three Pure Ones:

"Thank you all for this discussion, fellow Daoists. I have benefited greatly from it."

"It doesn't matter, we're all on the same side," Tongtian said, waving his hand to show his attitude. Laozi and Yuanshi nodded slightly to the side.

Meanwhile, Xuanbao, who had been dozing off, saw the others snap out of their discussion.

Xuanbao had already swiftly prepared a clean jade table, setting out several lustrous and translucent jade plates. On the plates were dozens of kinds of innate spiritual fruits, and Enlightenment Tea brewed with the Three Lights Divine Water. The tea smoke curled upwards, the fruit fragrance was refreshing, and mixed with the lingering profound Daoist charm from the previous discussion, creating a uniquely pleasant tranquility.

"Masters and sisters, you've had a long and arduous discussion," Xuanbao said with a smile, presenting the jade plate and teacups.

"You little rascal! You really know how to enjoy life. You're actually using the Three Lights Divine Water to make tea?" Even Nuwa, seeing such extravagance for the first time, couldn't quite accept it. If this cup of Three Lights Divine Water were placed in the outside world, countless powerful beings would fight tooth and nail for it. Now, it's in Xuanbao's hands for making tea...

The Enlightenment Tea in the jade cup was shrouded in a pale golden mist. The pure vitality of the Three Lights Divine Water and the Daoist charm of the innate spiritual fruit intertwined. Nuwa held the cup and took a sip. An indescribable stream of clear water flowed from her throat straight into her heart, quietly resonating with her newly stabilized and perfected state of mind.

At first, it was just a subtle sense of comfort, like a weary traveler returning home, finding peace of mind and body. But soon, beneath that tranquility, it seemed as if a hidden spring was being quietly stirred.

Nuwa put down the jade cup and closed her eyes slightly.

Her mind, without deliberately trying to comprehend anything, involuntarily sank into a deeper realm. Everything around her—the faint aura of the Three Pure Ones, the expectant gaze of Xuanbao, the veins of the spiritual fruit on the jade table, even the subtle spiritual energy slowly flowing in the void—seemed to slow down, become clearer, shed their appearances, and reveal their most fundamental traces of "creation".

Birth and death are no longer absolute opposites, but rather two cyclical aspects, like breathing. Creation and balance are no longer sequential or primary and secondary, but rather simultaneous and interdependent essences. In the past, when she was in charge of creation, she may have focused too much on the "birth" and "creation" aspect. But now, in this wondrous state of enlightenment, the true meaning of "death" and "balance" flowed into her mind as naturally as water, perfectly merging with her original foundation.

Above the auspicious clouds, the three pure white lotuses seemed to slow their rotation, while the radiant light they cast became increasingly solid, no longer merely pure purifying light, but carrying a gentle Daoist charm that encompasses all things and harmonizes Yin and Yang. The laws of creation surrounding them were no longer just a vibrant flow of life force, but had gained a sense of weight and profundity, as if they could bear the cycle of birth and death of a world.

The breath rises, settles, and rises again silently.

Her face was calm and serene, yet between her brows seemed to be the light and shadow of countless stars rising and falling, sometimes as relaxed as spring flowers in bloom, sometimes as solemn as autumn leaves falling. An indescribable Daoist aura emanated from her, not a deliberately released pressure, but a natural presence, as if she were the embodiment of the true meaning of creation in this world.

The Three Pure Ones were the first to notice something amiss, but they had no experience with such things, after all, they had all been through them before. The Enlightenment Tea was just helping people to attain enlightenment... there was no need to make a fuss.

Xuanbao, standing to the side, was also very pleased to see Nuwa's performance. He was afraid that it wouldn't be long before he would have another powerful ally.

However, while others go to the prehistoric world to improve themselves, he needs to nurture his own powerful backers. But every effort pays off, and now that Nuwa has become a saint, he can be considered the strongest second-generation being in the prehistoric world.
