Chapter 35
The Astonishing Secrets of the Primordial Era
When Di Jun was mentioned, Nuwa's originally smiling face turned slightly gloomy. She snorted and said, "I used to think highly of this person. I thought he had some ability to unite all the races in the prehistoric world in the name of the demon race."
He was originally an unparalleled emperor, but he was a womanizer. Not only was he entangled with the two moon goddesses, but he also coveted the marriage of the three goddesses, Wangshu and her sister.
Not long ago, he went to Ziwei Star and provoked Fellow Daoist Doumu Yuanjun, clearly intending to bring the entire Starry Sky lineage into the demon race. Furthermore, he even dared to test my intentions; he is truly unworthy of being called a son.
Guang Chengzi, who was brewing Dao Miao Tea, was startled upon hearing this. Even his Taiyi Dao Heart, which had remained unmoved for millennia, was shaken. This Di Jun was truly audacious, thinking of top goddesses from the primordial world.
Whether it's the three goddesses of the moon or Doumu Yuanjun, they are all renowned deities in the prehistoric world, not to mention Nuwa, a perfect goddess known as the radiant light of humanity. How could they possibly share a husband?
As it turns out, Di Jun was so reckless. It was already quite remarkable that he could win the hearts of two Taiyin goddesses, but he was actually thinking about three other great goddesses. I don't know whether to call him amazing or just asking for death.
"I'm afraid if Di Jun were given a chance, he wouldn't even let Houtu, Xuanming, or the Queen Mother of the West go. He really wants to start a harem in the prehistoric world."
Guang Chengzi couldn't help but think about this, but he immediately focused his mind, forgot all other thoughts, and concentrated on brewing the tea in front of him, afraid that someone would discover his thoughts.
Fortunately, he possessed numerous spiritual treasures that suppressed his thoughts, preventing these powerful beings from deliberately prying into the mind of a junior, thus keeping it a secret.
Yuanshi Tianzun, who had initially held some admiration for Dijun, became quite disappointed in him after hearing this.
Can someone who can't even control their own desires really be a good leader of the demon race?
Perhaps Di Jun was also making plans for the world, or perhaps he was using marriage to lure other great gods into the demon race. However, using such methods to recruit people was something that Yuanshi Tianzun looked down on.
It's no wonder that Fuxi and Nuwa, who were inseparable day and night, parted ways. One went to the Sun Star, and the other went to Kunlun Mountain. It can be seen that Nuwa was also afraid of Dijun and didn't want to get entangled with him.
Zhen Yuanzi smiled and stroked his beautiful beard, saying, "Besides this pot of Three Lights Divine Water, the Houtu Ancestral Witch of the Wu Clan also said that she wanted to give me a primordial spiritual treasure called the Mountain-Driving Whip. So it is only of the upper grade, but it complements my Earth Book perfectly. With the two combined, it can rival a top-grade spiritual treasure without being inferior to it."
Even the Three Pure Ones, who had previously maintained their composure, raised their eyebrows slightly upon hearing this.
First came the Three Lights Divine Water, then the Mountain-Driving Whip. What exactly are the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan trying to do? Could it be that they are merely trying to win over Zhen Yuanzi?
If it's just about winning someone over, a pot of Three Lights Divine Water would be enough. But if you add a Mountain-Driving Whip, the meaning becomes quite intriguing.
Laozi's expression was serene; he even had the mind to take out some elixir fragments to feed the fish. He simply asked calmly, "Then Houtu is willing to give up a high-grade spiritual treasure, presumably to ask Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi for a favor, right?"
Zhen Yuanzi laughed and said, "That's how it is. The Wu Clan only asks me for one thing, which is that I temporarily sever the ancestral source of the Kunlun Mountain's earth veins in the future. However, regardless of whether they succeed or not, this treasure will belong to me."
Severing the geological veins of the Kunlun Mountains?
The Three Pure Ones were all quick-witted and clever. They quickly realized what the Twelve Ancestral Witches were up to after a moment's thought. They immediately smiled coldly but said nothing. Instead, they stood up, bowed to Zhen Yuanzi, and expressed their gratitude.
Zhen Yuanzi did not avoid it, and simply sat on the jade lotus, accepting the gift with a smile.
He had already accepted the overtures from both clans, but then immediately informed the Three Pure Ones, thus making his own stance clear.
Whether it's the all-embracing demon race or the witch race with the legacy of Pangu, they are both excellent options for outsiders to seek refuge with. Moreover, the fact that such beings have taken the initiative to win over Zhen Yuanzi shows that they value him highly.
However, Zhen Yuanzi felt that rather than going in as an awkward worshipper, it would be better to befriend the Three Pure Ones, who were the true descendants of Pangu.
He was very optimistic about the other party's future. Moreover, in the primordial world, the prosperity of a clan or the outcome of a battle had no direct relation to victory or defeat.
How prosperous were the three races at the beginning of time? They had completely controlled the three elements of heaven, earth, and water, and there was an endless stream of great gods and a flourishing of cultivation seeds. They were more than a million times more prosperous than the current witch and demon races. But what was the result? They were still utterly defeated in the Great Tribulation, and they are still licking their wounds. Their vitality was so severely damaged that they almost became extinct.
The demonic lineage that once bewitched the three races of creation and caused the destruction of heaven and earth also ended up in the thirty-six demon realms beyond the realm.
They are said to be carefree and unrestrained, but they are forbidden from entering the primordial wilderness for life and have no connection with the orthodox tradition. They can only act like a clown, occasionally tempting one or two cultivators to fall into depravity in order to show off their own abilities.
In the end, the only winner was the so-called lonely man, Hongjun.
Hongjun, who belonged to no clan, became the only saint in the world, the only Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, and the Dao Ancestor revered by countless great gods.
Therefore, it is clear that whether or not there is an ethnic group is irrelevant. This may be important, but it is definitely not a key factor.
Zhen Yuanzi felt that the Three Pure Ones might be the ultimate winners, so he came to inform on them without hesitation, just to become familiar with them and make them remember him.
Nuwa listened from the side, her infinitely beautiful eyes revealing a cold glint. She disliked Dijun, as well as the Twelve Ancestral Witches, and like Zhen Yuanzi, she held the Three Pure Ones in high regard.
After all, when the Three Pure Ones joined forces to attack Buzhou Mountain, it was the first major massacre after the end of the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity, which naturally attracted the attention of countless powerful beings.
From that moment on, Nuwa felt that the Three Pure Ones were an excellent choice of fellow Daoists. She did not approve of Fuxi's actions of joining the demon race, which is why she came to Kunlun Mountain instead of going to the Sun Star.
Since she had made up her mind, she would stake everything on it. Nuwa had decided that if the Twelve Ancestral Witches wanted to take revenge on Kunlun Mountain in the future, she would definitely come to their rescue.
Being alone is not good. Nuwa doesn't consider herself a second Hongjun, but she also doesn't want to form a clan. Therefore, it's beneficial to make friends with more powerful Daoists.
What act of goodwill is better than offering help in times of need?
The many powerful figures were all deep in thought, their minds racing, creating a slightly heavy atmosphere in the area. This made the other seven people dare not look around or stop, and they could only lower their heads and remain silent.
Only Guang Chengzi continued to busy himself, focusing on managing the treasure box in front of him, and occasionally adding a little bit of the Three Lights Divine Water.
The Three Lights Divine Water already contained the extremely hot Sunlight Divine Water. Now, drawn by the Tushita Purple Fire, the Sunlight Divine Water suddenly shone brightly, and streams of scorching heat gathered within the Jade Void Treasure Box, seemingly poised to unleash its power.
Meanwhile, the colorful leaves tumbled and rolled in the water. Before long, a peculiar fragrance was released from the Jade Void Treasure Box, creating a myriad of strange and wondrous sights. The white mist in the air transformed into countless wondrous scenes, as if it had become a world in the mist, which looked extremely peculiar.
