Buzhou Mountain, inside Nuwa and Fuxi’s daoist sanctuary.
At this moment, only Fang Yang and Nuwa were seated there.
As for Daoist Fuxi, he had gained some insight while listening to the dao at Zixiao Palace and had already gone into secluded cultivation.
“Little Bamboo, Dao Brother Tongtian and the others all said they would explain the Great Dao to you. Why did you still come to me?” Nuwa looked at Fang Yang’s carefree and irreverent face and said with a charming smile.
As she spoke, the corners of her lips curved slightly upward, forming a sweet arc.
She seemed to be in a very good mood because Fang Yang had come here.
“What? Could it be that Lady Nuwa doesn’t welcome me?” Fang Yang did not answer directly. Instead, he looked at Lady Nuwa teasingly and joked.
“No…!”
Hearing Fang Yang’s words, Lady Nuwa seemed somewhat anxious and wanted to explain.
But after noticing the teasing glint in Fang Yang’s eyes, she immediately glared at him angrily, her delicate brows slightly raised, and reproached him, “You little Bamboo, all you ever think about is teasing me!”
“Hahahaha! Actually, I just feel that listening to them preach the Dao is truly dull and boring. I might as well come here—at least I have a fairy as incomparably beautiful as Lady Nuwa to chat with!” Fang Yang laughed casually.
“What a smooth talker!”
Although she said that, when Lady Nuwa heard Fang Yang call her an incomparably beautiful fairy, she was not offended in the slightest. Instead, her heart felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.
It seemed that Fang Yang’s praise made her very happy!
Lady Nuwa then recalled how Fang Yang had fallen sound asleep in Zixiao Palace during the first preaching of the Dao. She immediately asked suspiciously, “Little Bamboo, why do you find listening to the dao dull and boring?”
“Listening to the dao and having your doubts resolved can clearly save you many detours on the path of cultivation and greatly benefit the advancement of your cultivation!”
“Why does there have to be a reason for everything? Boring is boring!”
Fang Yang curled his lips and said in a carefree and irreverent manner, “Then I want to ask too: why are you, Lady Nuwa, beautiful enough to take one’s breath away?”
“I…!”
Lady Nuwa’s pretty face instantly flushed crimson, yet for a moment she did not know how to respond.
After a while, a crafty glint suddenly flashed through her beautiful eyes. She parted her red lips and lightly uttered a clear, crisp reply: “There’s nothing I can do. My beauty is heaven… Heaven-given!”
Fang Yang: “……”
He had not expected Lady Nuwa to be so unabashed.
She had actually declared outright that her beauty was heaven-given?
In fact!
When facing the other great experts and living beings of the primordial world, Lady Nuwa had always been rather aloof and solemn. She was not as cold as frost and ice, but she was still dignified and refined.
Yet, for some unknown reason, she was much more relaxed whenever she faced Fang Yang.
It was as though she did not need to hide her personality from him. Whenever she chatted with him, she was always relaxed and natural. Not only could she joke around with ease, but… her skin had even grown a little thicker.
In terms of personality, she seemed more like a lively young woman!
“Honk honk honk!”
Seeing Fang Yang’s embarrassed expression, Lady Nuwa seemed delighted. She even let out a goose-like cackle, laughing until her beautiful eyes narrowed, as though the surrounding scenery had been completely overshadowed.
“Little Bamboo!”
After laughing for a while, Lady Nuwa looked at Fang Yang with sparkling eyes and blurted out, “Let’s travel throughout the Primordial World together! Just you and me!”
Hmm…!
When Lady Nuwa said the final words, “Just you and me,” her pretty face flushed slightly, and a strange radiance flashed through her beautiful eyes. No one knew what she was thinking.
“Travel throughout the Primordial World? That sounds great!” Fang Yang nodded in agreement without thinking too much about it.
After all, in Fang Yang’s view, traveling throughout the Primordial World with Lady Nuwa would give him a much greater chance of encountering a heavenly dao fragment than staying at Buzhou Mountain.
“Good!”
After receiving Fang Yang’s agreement, Lady Nuwa smoothed her hair bun beside her ear and smiled brightly.
Thus!
Fang Yang and Lady Nuwa left the daoist sanctuary together, stood upon an auspicious cloud, and flew toward the Primordial World.
……
At the same time!
Deep within the Sun Star, in the center of a colossal Flame Valley, stood a luxurious, ancient existence palace with carved beams and jade pillars, exuding grandeur and majesty.
It was none other than the Sun God Palace!
“Hahaha! Big Brother, now that we have severed our good corpses and achieved the early quasi-saint Realm, it is time to subdue those devils!” Taiyi held the Eastern Emperor Bell in one hand and looked toward Dijun, shouting excitedly.
“Second younger brother is absolutely right. With our current early quasi-saint cultivation and our companion dharma treasures in hand, I believe that as long as we do not encounter a great expert with a great divine ability, subduing the devils will not be difficult.” Dijun narrowed his eyes, endless brilliance shooting from the slits, and nodded in agreement.
Thus, Dijun and Taiyi led their subordinates into the Primordial World and embarked on the path of subduing the devils!
They were the emperor of the demon clan ordained by heaven, and they possessed sufficiently powerful strength and dao attainment. Therefore, after some time, they successfully subdued the various devil forces.
Another three hundred years later, Bai Ze, a great demon under their command, accidentally discovered that a realm had evolved above Buzhou Mountain. It was vast and boundless, with spiritual marshes everywhere, so he reported it to Dijun and Taiyi.
Upon hearing the news, they were overjoyed and moved all the devil forces into that realm.
And established the Heavenly Court!
Dijun and Taiyi also bestowed titles upon the great demons under their command. They appointed the Ten Great Demon Gods, all of whom were in the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm, and three thousand demon kings, all of whom were in the taiyi golden immortal Realm.
Aside from the demon gods and demon kings, there were also hundreds of millions of lesser demons.
For a time, the devil forces surged, their strength approaching that of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans from the Primordial Era, faintly showing signs of becoming the hegemon of the Primordial World.
It was worth mentioning!
Among the Ten Great Demon Gods of the devil Clan was a demon god named Jiuying Demon God.
He was none other than the Great Demon Jiuying, who had nearly been slain by Fang Yang earlier!
After losing his battle with Fang Yang, the two infant-head phantoms behind him had been shattered, and he had suffered severe injuries. He could only use a secret technique to escape.
No one knew what fortuitous encounter he later obtained. After thirty thousand years, not only had his injuries completely healed, but his cultivation had also greatly increased, allowing him to break through from the late-taiyi golden immortal Realm to the early-stage daluo golden immortal Realm in one move.
He condensed the Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown, nurtured the five qi within his chest, and controlled the power of laws!
Compared with before, his strength was simply incomparable!
After becoming one of the Ten Great Demon Gods of the Heavenly Court Demon Clan and gaining Dijun and Taiyi as his backers, Jiuying Demon God became even more imposing.
Yet no one knew that Jiuying Demon God had an unresolved knot in his heart!
Or rather, a shadow!
And its target was Fang Yang!
