Honghuang: It makes sense that there are four Sanqing, right?

In Nuwa's palace, on this day, Nuwa suddenly had a flash of inspiration and realized the opportunity for her to attain enlightenment.

Over the years, due to her agreement with Xu Qing, she did not continue to comprehend the Primordial Purple Qi, but instead cultivated the Great Dao of Creation and comprehended the Laws of Creation.

She had created almost every type of creature in the primordial world, yet it was never perfect. Now, however, she suddenly knew what she wanted to create.

When Di Jun and other demons transformed into human form, although they had flesh and blood, their appearance did not match their transformed appearance. When Xu Qing and others transformed from their innate aura, although their inner and outer forms were harmonious, they had no flesh and blood.

A true innate Dao body, if it exists, should have living flesh and blood, and conform to its external appearance.

That's exactly the kind of existence she wanted to create!

Emerging from the Nuwa Palace, she walked to a mud pit. Based on her countless years of contemplation and aided by the Great Dao of Creation, she sculpted a complete "human" from internal organs to skin, from bones to meridians.

This is not a word that can be used to refer to all living beings, but to the true human race.

Nuwa breathed a breath, and the clay figure's life force grew stronger in the next moment. It quickly came to life and bowed to Nuwa.

"Thank you, Goddess Nuwa."

The human race, created by Nuwa herself, is blessed by the Great Dao of Creation. They are handsome and precocious, and even at birth, they already know etiquette.

"I will create more people for you."

Nuwa was overjoyed to see this and began to create another human. Having learned from her first experience, Nuwa created humans more quickly this time, and then continued to create more humans.

Even though Nuwa became more and more skilled each time, her speed was still too slow, and the number of humans was still far from that of a true race.

"Fellow Daoist Nuwa."

Just as Nuwa was struggling with how to speed up the creation of humans, a red light flashed across the sky, and in the next instant, Xu Qing appeared beside Nuwa.

"Fellow Daoist Xu Qing, how did you know that I would have the opportunity to attain Dao even without the Primordial Purple Qi?"

Upon seeing Xu Qing, Nuwa temporarily abandoned her thoughts on creating humans. Her beautiful eyes sparkled, and she was now filled with curiosity about Xu Qing.

"Fellow Daoist, you possess profound blessings, an astonishing background, and extraordinary cultivation. How could you possibly fail?"

Xu Qing chuckled, trying to brush it off.

"Haha, who would have thought that Master Xuqing, who killed the Styx, would have such a humorous side."

Upon hearing this, Nuwa smiled; Xu Qing's answer was indeed beyond her expectations.

"Why don't you continue making these clay figures, fellow Daoist? Perhaps a certain number are needed to truly attain the Dao."

Seeing that Nuwa was no longer pressing the matter, Xu Qing breathed a sigh of relief and then turned to ask Nuwa a question.

Of course, as a celestial being, he did know why Nuwa was troubled, but it was best to avoid doing things that were prophetic.

"It's too slow for me to knead it like this."

Nuwa spoke frankly.

"How many clay figures are needed to attain enlightenment?"

Xu Qing truly did not know this.

"We need 129,600, which is exactly the number for one Yuanhui. Besides, since they are already alive, it is probably inappropriate to continue calling them clay figures."

Nuwa answered truthfully, having already vaguely guessed that Xu Qing's visit was probably to help her.

"What names did Fellow Daoist Nuwa give them?"

"Let's call them humans, the human race."

A hint of reminiscence flashed in Xu Qing's eyes. In a way, he was the first human in the prehistoric world.

Composing himself, Xu Qing quickly replied:

"Good, human, good name."

"Well, you're not here just to laugh at me, are you? Is there any way you can help me?"

Nuwa noticed that Xu Qing's expression was strange, which further confirmed her guess, and she moved closer to Xu Qing.

"Well, in the primordial era, time is not recorded. Twelve thousand humans have only existed for about a hundred years."

Looking at Nuwa's face, Xu Qing suddenly felt like teasing her and made a joke.

"Wouldn't that kill me with exhaustion?"

Nuwa noticed the smile in Xu Qing's eyes, feigned anger, and rolled her eyes.

"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, in the end, your Dao of Creation is the key. A clay figure can be sculpted by anyone."

"If that's the case, why bother creating people yourself? Why not let the humans create their own? You can simply guide them with the power of the Great Dao of Creation."

Xu Qing eventually revealed the secret.

"That makes sense, thank you, fellow Daoist."

Nuwa suddenly realized what was happening and quickly tried it out.

"You, go and try sculpting one of your own people."

She pointed to the first human and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The first human was a male, who acted coyly towards a female human, and then had Nuwa enlighten him.

"Your Majesty, please give it a try."

Nuwa waved her hand, and a ray of spiritual light flew out from her hand, bringing the clay figure to life.

"Fellow Daoist, it is indeed feasible."

Nuwa bowed to Xu Qing, her gratitude overflowing, as it would save her hundreds of years of hard work.

Xu Qing chuckled and said nothing more.

He was watching the humans sculpting clay figures. The first male human to sculpt a clay figure was fawning over the female human he had sculpted. Xu Qing noticed at that moment that the female human had exceptionally long legs.

Humans, they really are human. Xu Qing found it amusing and gradually became engrossed in watching.

Most other male humans did the same, adding their own personal touches when sculpting clay figures, resulting in uniquely shaped figures.

Some were particularly large, some particularly perky, some had slender waists, some had long legs, and there was even a human male meticulously sculpting the feet of a clay figure.

The female human race was equally impressive, generally sculpting clay figures to be tall and robust. Some paid particular attention to the abdomen, some to the chest and arms, and one even focused on the ankles.

Nuwa was busy enlightening others and didn't pay attention to these things. Even if she had seen them, she wouldn't have understood them. On the contrary, Xu Qing, who had memories of the future, knew everything about them.

Xu Qing was not averse to this. Having been a powerful innate being for hundreds of thousands of years, he was indifferent to emotions. Seeing the original desires of the human race at this moment, he only felt a sense of familiarity.

Because of the human race's pursuit of perfection, the rate of human reproduction was not as fast as expected. It took about a year for the human population to reach 100,000.

Of course, even if someone's appearance perfectly matches one's desires, it doesn't guarantee a lifetime together. Over the past year, Xu Qing has witnessed many loves, hates, and separations among the human race.

Suddenly, a loud boom resounded in Xu Qing's mind.

The path of emotions, love, is completely in your grasp!

Xu Qing then regained consciousness and realized that he had entered a state of enlightenment a year ago.

"Fellow Daoist Xu Qing, ever since the first clay figure made by a human appeared a year ago, you have been lost in thought. I wonder, what have you come to understand by observing the human race?"

Nuwa sensed that Xu Qing had awakened from his enlightenment and breathed a sigh of relief before asking curiously.

"Although these little people are not highly cultivated, their emotions are complex and profound. I have gained enlightenment from observing them, and my understanding of the Dao of Emotions has greatly improved. In fact, I owe this all to you, fellow Daoist."

Xu Qing bowed to Nuwa. After this incident, his cultivation had reached the peak of Quasi-Saint.

If he could fully grasp all the emotions involved, he could achieve the Great Luo Primordial Chaos.

"This is your own good fortune, fellow Daoist; I merely added fuel to the fire."

Nuwa smiled, but was even more surprised by Xu Qing, for enlightenment is not something that can be achieved casually.
