Chapter 88

"Nuwa, the Mother of All Spirits"

The group arrived at Buzhou Mountain... According to the previous plan, when Hongjun intervened and was unable to stop the incident, it would be the best time for Nuwa to attain enlightenment!

"Don't worry, I'm already prepared."

As she spoke, Nuwa took out the Nine Heavens Breath Soil and began to mix it with the Three Lights Divine Water...

Because Nuwa possessed extensive experience in playing with mud, and her body was surrounded by endless laws of creation, these laws of creation swirled around the Nine Heavens Breath Soil and the Three Lights Divine Water. Under their influence, the originally ordinary innate spiritual materials radiated extraordinary brilliance. Nuwa's hands deftly sculpted, and one after another, strange and wonderful creatures were born, though at this time most were still clay sculptures.

Nuwa first used various forms of life in the primordial world as a blueprint to create living beings, including chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, tigers, snakes, cows, pigs, and so on—tens of thousands of species were created.

Later, by combining the characteristics of various animals, thousands of different kinds of creatures were created, such as winged horses, horned fish, flying mice, and so on.

But I must say, Nuwa's craftsmanship was truly remarkable; these clay sculptures were so lifelike that they rivaled even the finest figurines of later generations.

Nuwa, the creator of all things, unleashed a massive amount of creative energy upon the numerous clay sculptures below.

Under the infusion of the power of creation, all kinds of living beings made their voices heard for the first time in this primordial world!

"Roar—Roar!!"

"Howl—Howl!!"

"Woof—Woof!!"

"Click-clack!!"

In an instant, the foot of Buzhou Mountain became a grand gathering of animals, with all sorts of creatures frolicking and leaping around the mountain. However, just as the jubilation was in full swing, a strange light suddenly flashed across the sky.

"boom!"

A golden light descended from the sky and split in two. Half of it descended upon Nuwa, while the other half fell upon the newly created beings. Countless beings were illuminated by the light of merit and virtue, instantly multiplying from one to ten thousand into 129,600, and were instantly carried to all corners of the primordial world!

Having received a great deal of Heavenly Merit, Nuwa felt her figure rising infinitely, as if merging with the entire universe. In her eyes, the profound visions of star birth and cosmic rotation flashed by, and the Primordial Purple Qi trembled like a leaf, as if saying that as long as it merged with her, she could become a saint...

Seeing that Nuwa seemed to be engrossed in her work and stood still, Xuanbao had no choice but to remind her, since time was of the essence and Hongjun might arrive at any moment.

"Don't stop, sister, keep going!"

"To attain enlightenment... Yes, it is time for me to attain enlightenment!"

Nuwa's confused eyes suddenly cleared, and she looked at Xuanbao: "Brother Xuanbao, as you said, is it really feasible to create a race based on the innate Dao body to inherit the human way?"

Upon hearing Nuwa's question, Xuanbao dared not be too certain, after all, the prehistoric world had indeed changed too much, and Nuwa had not only created the human race. However, he was human in his previous life, so he had to give his ancestor more background.

"The innate Dao body is in the form of Pangu, and it is the most suitable physique for cultivation in the primordial world. Naturally, it has its own extraordinary advantages."

After listening to Xuanbao's words, Nuwa pondered for a moment, then her eyes lit up instantly: "I understand!"

"The innate Dao body is the most suitable physique for cultivation in the primordial world. All the perfect beings I created were born with an innate Dao body!"

Nuwa placed the remaining half of the Nine Heavens Breath Soil in her palm, then slowly poured out the Three Lights Divine Water given to her by Xuanbao. After thinking for a while, Nuwa squeezed out a drop of essence blood from her fingertip and mixed it into the mud. Then she looked at Xuanbao and the Three Pure Ones.

Xuanbao: ...

What do you mean? You're going to bleed yourself out too?

However, Xuanbao eventually forced out a drop of his essence blood to mix into the mud. After Xuanbao's persuasion, the Three Pure Ones also dripped a drop of their essence blood into the mud. Nuwa and Xuanbao's essence blood need no further explanation. The Three Pure Ones are now saints, and the changes brought about by the blood of saints are unimaginable.

The power of creation that erupted from the mud was several times stronger than before, and it also contained the unique aura of everyone present.

Nuwa's hands moved swiftly, and surrounded by the endless laws of creation, a clay figure that bore an 8% resemblance to Pangu's innate Dao body was soon sculpted.

Nuwa once again unleashed her divine power of "Creating All Things," releasing a massive amount of creative energy—far more than she had used to create other post-natal beings. In an instant, the clay figure came to life and opened its eyes.

The clay figure slowly opened its eyes, then stood up using both hands and feet, curiously looking around at its surroundings.

A completely new being, which had never appeared in the primordial world, was born!

Seeing that she had succeeded, Nuwa immediately began to create a second, a third... After creating 3000, Nuwa's face turned pale and her breathing became rapid.

The reason is that each clay figure requires a massive amount of magical power and creative energy, which Nuwa simply cannot withstand now.

Seeing Nuwa's exhausted appearance, Xuanbao naturally knew what was wrong. Legend has it that Nuwa only created 3000 humans, and the rest were created by splashing mud onto a primordial gourd vine. So there were originally only 3000 primordial humans. However, Xuanbao did not want the human race to have any shortcomings. So what if they lacked magic power and the power of creation? He had plenty of ways to make up for it.

Xuanbao remained silent, only taking out the Three Lights Divine Water and various spiritual fruits to replenish his magic power. Before long, the pills piled up into a small mountain.

"Sister, you don't need to worry about depleting your magic power; your brother is here."

With a wave of his hand, Xuanbao sent mountain-sized spiritual fruits and pills into pure energy, which slowly flowed into Nuwa's body; the Three Lights Divine Water, like an inverted Milky Way, nourished Nuwa's soul.

"This..." Nuwa felt her magical power rapidly recovering within her body, and even the laws of creation becoming more active, which moved her deeply. She looked at Xuanbao, her eyes filled with relief and gratitude.

"Sister, please continue," Xuanbao said with a smile.

Nuwa nodded emphatically, took a deep breath, and picked up the Nine Heavens Breath Soil once more. This time, her hands were even more nimble, and she poured even more focus into each clay figure. The laws of creation transformed into tangible streams of light around her, reflecting the boundless resources provided by the Mystic Treasure.

The 3001st, the 3002nd… Nuwa tirelessly sculpted. With each clay figure born, opening its clear eyes, and learning to stand and walk, Nuwa gained a deeper understanding. These beings, based on the innate Dao body, not only bore the form of Pangu but also incorporated the essence and Daoist spirit of her, Xuanbao, and even the Three Pure Ones. They were born with sentience, their eyes sparkling with a thirst for knowledge and exploration, completely different from the myriad beings she had created before.

When the 129600th clay figure—the last and most perfect one—was born from Nuwa's hands, the entire Buzhou Mountain seemed to freeze for a moment.

It seems to foreshadow something big about to happen.
