Primordial Era: Starting with the Immortals of the Jie Sect to Prove the Dao of Hunyuan

Time flies, and who knows how long it has been?

Shouyang Mountain, Bajing Palace.

Lao Tzu sat upright on a cloud bed, with the Tai Chi diagram slowly rotating behind him, and the Yin and Yang energies swirling endlessly like two swimming dragons.

The fire in the furnace inside the hall was burning brightly, and the fragrance of elixirs filled the air from the purple-gold octagonal furnace, with the rising mist creating a lingering atmosphere.

A five-colored ray of light descended from the chaos and landed in front of the Eight Views Palace.

Lao Tzu opened his eyes, and his long eyebrows twitched slightly.

"Xuan Du, go and invite the Sage Nuwa in."

"Yes."

Xuan Du's temperament was originally suited to the Taiqing Great Law, and he has already advanced to the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal. His Taiqing Immortal Light has already achieved some success.

The next moment, the gates of the Eight Views Palace opened wide, and Xuandu went to welcome the Goddess Nuwa. The sage walked on lotus flowers and sat down on the futon below Laozi.

"Senior Brother."

Nuwa spoke, her voice clear and cold like the moon: "I have come today to discuss the affairs of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors."

Lao Tzu nodded slightly, and the Tai Chi diagram slowly rotated, concealing the secrets of the Eight Views Palace.

"My brother Fuxi wishes to use the human race to attain enlightenment and become the Heavenly Emperor."

Nuwa got straight to the point: "That's exactly why I've come today."

Laozi was silent for a moment, then said, "If Fuxi wanted to attain enlightenment through the human race, then he should have relinquished his memories and attained enlightenment in human form. This is the rule. Otherwise, how could the human race's destiny be pure if the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors all carried memories of their past lives? How could Fuxi's path to enlightenment have been successful?"

Nuwa sighed. She knew this was right, even more so than Lao Tzu.

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were key figures in the flourishing of humanity, and each of them had to bear the mandate of heaven in a pure human form. If one carried memories of a past life, then one was not a true human, and how could one represent humanity?

"Fuxi was a Quasi-Saint of the Second Corpse, reincarnated as a human, but he lost all his memories and cultivation, starting from scratch. Senior Brother, this path is not easy."

Lao Tzu looked up at her, his gaze calm as still water: "This was his own choice."

Nuwa remained silent.

"Back then, on Mount Kunlun, you granted Xuanqiong a chance to attain enlightenment. Today, Fuxi is going to take this path, so you should think it through carefully."

Lao Tzu paused, then said, "If he succeeds, he will become the Emperor of Humanity, accumulating immeasurable merit and making great progress in his cultivation. If he fails, his true spirit will dissipate, never to return. Are you willing to let him go?"

Nuwa raised her head, a hint of pain flashing in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.

"This was Fuxi's own choice. He said, 'On the path of seeking the Dao, one must bear the responsibility for one's own life and death.'"

Lao Tzu nodded slightly and said no more.

He got up from the cloud bed, took a flat cane in his hand, and walked down the steps.

"In that case, let's go on a journey to the Netherworld."

Nuwa got up and left the Eight Trigrams Palace with Laozi.

The Netherworld, the Palace of Peace.

Pingxin was meditating when he sensed the arrival of two saintly auras in the Netherworld, and he couldn't help but open his eyes.

"The Sage of Taiqing, the Sage of Nuwa."

As Pingxin rises, the law of reincarnation flows throughout his body, protecting Pingxin Palace.

Laozi and Nuwa landed in front of Pingxin Palace. Their auras as sages and the laws of reincarnation touched lightly and then receded.

"Fellow Daoist Pingxin."

Lao Tzu began, "I have come today to ask you for a favor."

Pingxin frowned slightly. Something that could make Laozi utter the word "seek" must be extraordinary.

"Please speak, sage."

"If Fuxi wanted to become the emperor of the human race, he needed to undergo reincarnation, relinquish his memories of his previous life, and be born as a pure human."

Laozi paused for a moment, then said, "This matter requires your assistance, fellow Daoist, to send Fuxi into the cycle of reincarnation."

Pingxin looked at the Goddess Nuwa, who nodded: "Fuxi has made up his mind, and I ask you, fellow Daoist, to grant his request."

Since the Goddess Nuwa had agreed, she naturally had no objections. It would also allow the two sages to owe her a small debt of karma, so she said, "Alright."

With a wave of her hand, the Law of Reincarnation condensed into a ball of dark light in her palm, and the passage of the Six Paths of Reincarnation slowly appeared behind her.

Where is Fuxi?

Nuwa waved her sleeve, and a ray of light flew out from her sleeve and landed in front of Pingxin.

Within that spiritual light, a phantom sat cross-legged, its face gaunt, its eyes closed, and its body surrounded by a faint starlight—it was the true spirit of Fuxi.

Pingxin looked at the true spirit with a complex expression.

Back in the Zixiao Palace, she and Fuxi listened to Hongjun preach. Although they were not close friends, they shared a bond of listening to each other preach.

During the Lich War, she and Fuxi belonged to two different races and were enemies. Later, after she transformed into Samsara, she discovered that he had actually been slacking off all along and had never gone all out.

Today, she has abandoned her status as an ancestral witch, and the other party only has a trace of true spirit left. In the end, she is required to personally send this former fellow disciple and enemy into reincarnation, erase all memories, and start over.

"Fellow Daoist Fuxi, have you thought this through?"

Fuxi slowly opened his eyes, his gaze calm as still water, and slowly said, "I've thought it through."

Empress Pingxin nodded and said no more.

She raised her hand, and the six paths of reincarnation opened wide, a deep halo enveloping the hall.

"In that case, let's go."

Fuxi's true spirit flew out from Nuwa's sleeve, circled once in the hall, and finally landed in front of Nuwa.

"younger sister."

Fuxi spoke, his voice tinged with reluctance: "I don't know when we'll meet again. Take care."

A tear flashed in Nuwa's eyes, but she quickly suppressed it.

"Don't worry, brother, I will take good care of myself."

Fuxi nodded, then turned to Laozi.

"Sage Taiqing, I entrust the affairs of the human race to you."

Laozi nodded slightly: "Rest assured, fellow Daoist."

Fuxi said no more, and his true spirit transformed into a stream of light, entering the cycle of reincarnation.

The light from the reincarnation passage shone brightly, engulfing the stream of light.

With her hands forming a mudra, Lady Pingxin activated the laws of reincarnation, sending Fuxi's true spirit into the depths of reincarnation.

"Memory sealed, true spirit reincarnated, reborn as a human."

The voice of Lady Pingxin echoed in the hall, each word transforming into a divine rune that disappeared into the cycle of reincarnation.

Nuwa gazed at the disappearing streak of light, remaining silent for a long time.

Lao Tzu stood to the side, leaning on his cane, without saying a word.

After a long silence, Nuwa spoke: "Senior Brother, how long will Fuxi's journey take?"

Lao Tzu calculated with his fingers and said, "It will take at least ten thousand years, or at most several cycles. When the time comes, he will naturally be born and accomplish a great feat."

Nuwa nodded and asked no further questions.

"Now that this matter is settled, I'm returning to the Nuwa Palace."

Lao Tzu nodded slightly: "Fellow Daoist, please take care."

Nuwa turned around, transformed into a five-colored ray of light, and disappeared into the depths of the netherworld.

Laozi looked at Lady Pingxin and said, "Fellow Daoist, you have worked hard."

Empress Pingxin shook her head: "It's my duty."

Lao Tzu said no more, and leaning on his cane, he walked out of Pingxin Palace step by step.

"The reincarnation of Fuxi means that the Human Immortal will also be born. I once said that with the convergence of the Five Immortals' fortunes, Xuanqiong would become a Quasi-Saint. I never expected that even I, this old Daoist, had misjudged him."

Lao Tzu emerged from the Netherworld, his green ox soaring through the sky, heading straight for the vast world created by the Six Sages.

The Lich King has been destroyed, and the human race is on the verge of resurgence. This is the time for him to pass on the Great Dao of Celestial Immortality!
