187: Fuxi is well.
After thinking for a moment, Saint Nuwa issued the first Saints decree to the Great Desolation.
"I am Nvwa. The Human Race was created by me. Within one kalpas, no race shall interfere with the proliferation of the Human Race."
As her voice fell, the Saints decree descended.
Strands of saintly sound echoed continuously throughout the Great Desolation.
The living beings of the Great Desolation felt it in their hearts, and all dismissed their curiosity toward the Human Race.
To repay this Karma, Nvwa continued her announcement.
"Since I have achieved Dao validation, I am willing to provide for the living beings of the Great Desolation."
"Three thousand years from now, I shall preach the Dao in the land of Qingqiu. All who are fated may come to listen."
Yuan Feng had originally intended to bring some of the Human Race back for protection, but now with the decree issued by Saint Nuwa, she no longer needed to worry about it.
Next, it would be best to let the Human Race proliferate freely; only then could they fully manifest their innate spirituality.
In one kalpas, the Human Race should be able to develop into a massive race.
Afterward, the two of them left hand in hand.
The members of the Human Race knelt to see them off... The news that Saint Nuwa had validated her Dao and become a Saint, and was about to preach in Qingqiu, soon spread throughout the Great Desolation.
The last time a Saint preached was several kalpas ago at the Zixiao Palace.
Whenever they recalled the feeling of easily breaking through realms under the Saint's dao rhyme, they felt great nostalgia.
Now that they could listen to a Saint preach again, all living beings were full of anticipation.
Kunlun Mountain.
Having confirmed that Saint Nuwa had validated her Dao and was about to preach, the Three Pure Ones were also considering whether or not to go and listen.
Nvwa was, after all, their Junior Sister. Her validating her Dao before them already made them feel a loss of face.
If they went to listen to her preaching, wouldn't that be admitting they were inferior?
But it was a Saint's preaching; the temptation was still very great.
Without much hesitation, Taishang Laozi made up his mind.
"The Dao has no high or low; those who achieve it first are the masters."
"Since Junior Sister Nvwa has validated her Dao and become a Saint, what harm is there in us going to listen to her preaching?"
Taishang Laozi raised his eyes slightly; he had already scanned the vicinity of the East Sea many times.
He had a feeling that his own opportunity for Dao validation might lie within this newborn race.
Tongtian also nodded. "What Eldest Brother says is absolutely right. One must not miss the words of a Saint."
"Junior Sister Nvwa is indeed our Junior Sister, but she is even more a Saint."
"It is also our honor that she is willing to preach for us."
On the other side, Yuanshi's expression was somewhat difficult to describe.
He was the most arrogant of them all. Now that he had to go listen to his Junior Sister's preaching, he really couldn't bring himself to save face.
However, since two of the three brothers had already decided to go, he could only compromise.
The Three Pure Ones walked out of Kunlun together, heading toward the location of Qingqiu... In the west, Mount Sumeru.
Learning that someone had become a Saint ahead of them, Jieyin and Zhunti were not particularly surprised.
As Named Disciples of the Dao Ancestor, there was a significant gap between their treatment and that of the first few direct Disciples.
It could be said that their Saintly seats were obtained through bitter pleading.
But that Nvwa was the first to become a Saint was indeed somewhat unexpected to them.
They had originally thought it would be Taishang Laozi, the one with the deepest accumulation and most hidden potential among the Three Pure Ones, who would take that step first.
However, Nvwa becoming a Saint first also showed that in this Great Desolation, nothing was impossible.
It was even possible that the two of them could become Saints before the Three Pure Ones.
The two of them thus hurried out of Mount Sumeru, wanting to ask Nvwa for her experience in becoming a Saint... At the Heavenly Court.
Dijun and Taiyi were also considering whether or not to go listen to the preaching.
At this moment, Bai Ze suddenly came to report.
"Your Majesties, this is bad!"
This was the first time this head of the Yao Saints had been so anxious.
Dijun couldn't help but ask, "What has happened? Yao Saint Bai Ze, speak slowly."
"The Xi Emperor, he has been... suppressed by Saint Nuwa!"
"What!" Hearing such an absurd statement, let alone Taiyi, even Dijun couldn't hold back his shock.
"The Xi Emperor and Saint Nuwa are siblings. How could he be suppressed by her?"
Bai Ze then recounted what he had seen through the Star Gazing Platform.
"It seems we must go to this preaching no matter what," Dijun pondered.
Although the facts were laid out, it still left him puzzled.
His subconscious feeling was that Saint Nuwa suppressing Fuxi was just some kind of squabble between siblings.
But that thought was quickly suppressed.
She was a dignified Saint; would she perform such an undignified act?
Certainly not.
Could it be that Saint Nuwa's prejudice against the Yao Race was too deep, and she suppressed Fuxi as a way to warn them?
That was indeed very possible.
If so, he had to go listen to the preaching and find an opportunity to clear up the misunderstanding.
After all, she was the second Saint of the Great Desolation; they couldn't afford to be targeted by her.
In addition, the living beings of the Great Desolation all automatically emerged from their Daoist retreats to search for the location of Qingqiu.
However, Qingqiu was a hidden paradise.
Few knew where it was.
If you couldn't find it, it meant you had no fate with it.
Only the Wu Race did not place much importance on this.
A Saint's preaching was good, but they simply couldn't understand it, so going was useless.
This had already been proven during the preaching at Zixiao Palace... At the Immortal Volcano.
Qing Wu also decided to set out for Qingqiu.
On one hand, it was to congratulate Nvwa on her successful Dao validation.
More importantly, he had long seen that Nvwa had some improper designs on his Yuan Feng.
She had already successfully validated her Dao, yet she still dragged Yuan Feng along to the preaching; it was really a bit much.
Now that she was a Saint and Fuxi couldn't restrain her, wouldn't she become lawless?
Thus, it was necessary for him to make the trip.
Knowing he was going out, the junior Disciples under him all came running out.
Qing Luan, Jin Feng, Lu Shu, Ling Ling, as well as Kong Xuan and Jin Peng, all looked on with anticipation.
It seemed they also wanted to join in the excitement.
Thinking that they had been confined to the mountain for a long time, perhaps it was time to let them go out and see the world.
Currently, the Great Desolation was in a delicate state of balance. With Dao Ancestor Hongjun's decree in place, the Wu and Yao Races dared not make any major moves.
Furthermore, Jin Feng, Qing Luan, Lu Shu, and Ling Ling all had the strength of the Daluo realm, enough to protect themselves in the Great Desolation.
And Kong Xuan and Jin Peng had also reached the Taiyi Perfection; their advancement was just around the corner. Going out would also help them sense the opportunity for a Breakthrough.
"Go, all of you. Let's go together to add some prestige to Saint Nuwa."
Hearing this, several of them followed along joyfully.
Kong Xuan and Jin Peng even transformed into two streaks of light and soared directly into the sky, leading the way.
The Celestial Dog also wanted to follow, but was kicked back by Qing Wu.
"You stay behind to guard the house."
Having received the order, the dejected Celestial Dog could only obediently return.
Two streaks of light flashed past, leaving two distinctly different colors in the sky.
One with five colors circulating, one with Yin and Yang intertwined; it was precisely Kong Xuan and Jin Peng.
They had been confined to the mountain for a long time. Now that they could go out, they naturally wanted to stretch their wings.
The two of them even started a competition in speed.
The two streaks of light sometimes soared straight into the highest heavens and sometimes dove down.
Kong Xuan's divine light escape speed was peerless, and Jin Peng's Yin and Yang escape method was profound.
The powerful winds tore through the sea of clouds, yet it was always hard to tell who was ahead.
Seeing them flitting about before his eyes, Qing Wu didn't bother to intervene; someone would naturally deal with them later.
Suddenly, Kong Xuan abruptly slowed down, falling behind Jin Peng.
Jin Peng seized the opportunity to pull ahead by a large margin.
He circled proudly in the air, waiting for Kong Xuan to catch up.
He didn't forget to exclaim, "I dominate the sky, and the earth shall crawl beneath my feet!"
However, he didn't notice that Kong Xuan's speed was getting slower and slower, until he finally stopped in the distance.
At that moment, a large hand reached out from the Void Realm, grabbing toward Jin Peng.
"Stupid bird, this is the Saint's Daoist field. How dare you be so insolent!"
Yuan Feng's voice came from within.
Jin Peng was undoubtedly captured.
"And you."
While Kong Xuan was watching the scene with a smug expression, another large hand reached out and snatched him up as well.
Seeing this, Qing Wu couldn't help but palm his forehead...
