Primordial Era: A member of the Jie Sect, apprenticed to Tongtian

"The Empress once used her powers to integrate half of Buzhou Mountain and countless spiritual materials into this world."

"This laid the foundation for the Nuwa Realm."

"All the immortal beasts and spiritual herbs in this realm are derived from this."

And this is undoubtedly an ancient secret that Shi Yuan was unaware of!

All he knew was that the Fantian Seal in Guangchengzi's hand was forged by Yuanshi Tianzun from half of Buzhou Mountain.

But this is the first time I've learned the whereabouts of the other half of Buzhou Mountain.

"The Nuwa Realm was actually created by the goddess Nuwa using half of Mount Buzhou and countless spiritual materials."

"No...no, the key point isn't Mount Buzhou and the spiritual materials, but...'the manipulation of creation'?"

Shi Yuan keenly grasped these four words.

Having access to the Shiyuan Realm, he naturally knew this.

Spiritual materials or spiritual energy alone are almost meaningless for opening up a new world.

For example, even now, he could integrate the spiritually rich Yuanquan Mountain into the Shiyuan Realm, or plant a huge amount of spiritual herbs in the Shiyuan Realm.

That's meaningless; at most, it will just make the spiritual energy in the Shiyuan Realm a little more abundant.

But it is meaningless for the evolution of the world itself.

Because the Stone Age already has the concept of 'mountain'.

But the goddess Nuwa was able to create a world using half of Buzhou Mountain and spiritual materials, and to achieve what she has today.

The crux of the problem must lie in those four words: "the workings of nature".

However, Shi Yuan did not continue to question Fairy Qingluan.

He knew that even if he asked the question, Fairy Qingluan would definitely not be able to answer it.

"This matter must concern the fundamental methods of a sage... Once I return to the Three Realms, I must inquire with Master Tongtian!"

Shi Yuan had a premonition.

The answer to this question is likely to be very important to him!

Afterwards, he talked with Fairy Qingluan for a while.

They also asked some other questions about the Nuwa Realm.

Unexpectedly, Fairy Qingluan told him everything in great detail.

Their attitude was surprisingly good.

Not long after, Shi Yuan saw a magnificent palace suspended in the distance at the highest point of the Nuwa Realm.

The palace was shrouded in a cold, misty haze, with the smoke and clouds shimmering like gentle waves.

Magnificent and ancient, majestic yet with a touch of elegance.

The golden plaque above the main gate of the palace bears the inscription "Wa Huang Palace".

So Shi Yuan naturally descended from the clouds and followed the Azure Phoenix Fairy into the Nuwa Palace.

The Azure Phoenix Fairy quickly led him to a pavilion inside the palace.

"This pavilion is the Ten Directions Pavilion. The Empress is inside. Please, Lord Mountain, enter."

The Azure Phoenix Fairy said to him.

Then, she turned and walked away gracefully.

But before leaving, Shi Yuan heard a barely audible voice: "Thank you for your leniency regarding the matter of Lingzhuzi, Mountain Lord."

Only then did Shi Yuan realize why this Azure Phoenix Fairy had been so polite to him throughout the journey.

It was precisely because of the good karma he had created by letting Nezha go in the past.

Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have heard of the teachings on the workings of creation.

"..."

He shook his head, trying to clear his mind of these thoughts.

Shi Yuan stepped lightly into the Shifang Pavilion.

However, this was only the first time he had stepped into the pavilion.

Shi Yuan then saw a palace couch in front of him.

A woman was reclining on the couch.

A golden umbrella hangs above his head, and a dark golden gourd sits beside him.

Her slender waist swayed slightly, jingling like golden pendants; her jade-like face exuded majesty and divine grace.

Even Chang'e in the Moon Palace could not reach this place, how could the celestial maidens of the Nine Heavens compare?

This woman's beauty is no less than that of Tai Xi and Wang Shu, who are among the most beautiful women in the Three Realms.

But the most crucial thing is the woman's temperament.

Majestic, elegant, languid, yet incomparably noble.

In fact, she was indeed incredibly noble. If one could only read one fantasy novel in their lifetime, it would probably be "The Primordial Era: A Person in the Jie Sect, Becoming a Disciple of Tongtian".

Because she is none other than Nuwa, the sage of the demon race and the holy mother of the human race!

Upon seeing the demon saint before him, Shi Yuan calmed down after a brief moment of amazement.

"Shi Yuan, a disciple of the Jie Sect, pays respects to the Sage Nuwa!"

He gave a slight bow to the Goddess Nuwa.

"Senior Brother Tongtian has indeed taken on a good disciple."

Nuwa, however, spoke elegantly.

"Your Majesty flatters me."

Shi Yuan chuckled lightly.

It must be said that none of these sages were people who liked to beat around the bush.

After a few polite words, Nuwa got straight to the point: "I suppose you already know why I summoned you to the Nuwa Palace."

She said softly.

"I have a great karmic connection with the Nine Heavens Breath Soil, but it does not belong to me... When the time is right, others will surely come to ask you about it."

She spoke first, putting the matter of the Nine Heavens Breath Soil aside.

Just as she said, the Nine Heavens Breath Soil was the key to her enlightenment, but it was not something she possessed.

Therefore, she did not intend to delve into the origin of the Nine Heavens Breath Soil in Shi Yuan's possession.

But what she cared about were two other key points.

"The first question I want to ask you concerns the Taiyin Refinement Method—this method was a secret of the ancient demon race. How did you learn and master it?"

She naturally knew the method of Taiyin Refining Form.

Of course, this is in comparison to the Taiyin Lianxing method.

She was more concerned about the second question.

"Secondly, there's that golden flame of the sun...where did you get it?"

When this question was asked, Nuwa's eyes undoubtedly held a hint of coldness.

The Taiyin Refinement Method is relatively easy to understand—after all, it's just a cultivation method.

Among the ancient demon gods, there must have been a few who knew about it.

She wouldn't make things difficult for the Jie Sect over a cultivation method.

But the sun's golden flames are different.

As a divine power with extremely symbolic significance for the demon race, the golden flames of the sun are the orthodox symbol of the demon race.

Of the three realms now, Nuwa is certain that only Lu Ya, the Golden Crow, is still alive!

Therefore, the possibility of Shi Yuan being able to control the golden flames of the sun is not high.

The most likely explanation is that it refined the true spirit of one of the nine Golden Crow Princes of the past.

That's right—Nuwa herself knew very well.

Although people say that the nine golden crow princes who were shot down by Hou Yi in the past were completely destroyed.

However, the goddess Nuwa knew that this was not the case.

It's not just a matter of the soul.

The true spirits of those nine Golden Crow Princes also mysteriously disappeared along with their deaths.

This is undoubtedly strange.

Because true spirits are actually very difficult to perish directly in ordinary battles.

Unless it's a bizarre and inexplicable being like the Mosquito Taoist.

Otherwise, even during the Investiture of the Gods, after most of the disciples of the Chan and Jie sects perished...

In the end, a wisp of true spirit will remain and be listed on the Investiture of the Gods.

However, even after the goddess Nuwa herself went to search for them, she could not find the true spirits of the nine princes.

And to be honest... the deaths of the nine Golden Crow Princes in the past were actually very suspicious.

The ten Golden Crow Princes originally lived on the Fusang Divine Tree in Tang Valley.

This innate spiritual root, which originally grew on the Sun Star, was moved from the Sun Star to Tang Valley by the two masters of spiritual roots, Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi.

The two of them had naturally set up restrictions on the Fusang Divine Tree long ago.

It's impossible for all ten Golden Crow Princes to go out at the same time.

However, on the day the event occurred, the ten Golden Crow Princes inexplicably left the Fusang Divine Tree at the same time.

This led to Hou Yi shooting down the suns, which ultimately ignited the Lich War!
