Uncle-Master, do you want a Daoist partner?

Nuwa gently stroked the red embroidered ball with her slender fingers, feeling the subtle tremors and guidance of the red thread of fate within. Her eyes shone with a divine light, revealing both the transcendence of a sage and a hint of concern for her brother. She whispered, "Brother Xuanbao's method... is not without its merits. Heaven has revealed this opportunity for a heavenly marriage to harmonize Yin and Yang and stabilize destiny; it doesn't necessarily have to be Dijun. However, the choice of this 'suitable person' must be made with care. Their destinies must be compatible, their fortunes connected, so that they can bear this great karmic burden and enjoy the merits without being burdened by them."

The Tongtian Sect Leader, being the most carefree, laughed upon hearing this, saying, "I think Junior Brother Fuxi is quite good! He is of noble character, follows the natural way, and is also the elder brother of Junior Sister Nuwa. Wouldn't a marriage between him and Taiyin Star be a double blessing? He is currently spreading the Dao among the human race, educating all people, and has already accumulated immeasurable merit. If this heavenly marriage can be completed, it will be a great benefit to the prehistoric world, to the human race, and to his own cultivation."

Yuanshi pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Junior Brother Fuxi, deducing the secrets of heaven and harmonizing yin and yang is the way. Taiyin Star governs the ultimate yin, and the two goddesses Xihe and Changxi are also rare and blessed immortals in the primordial world. The balance of yin and yang may help Junior Brother Fuxi advance further in the ways of creation and destiny. However..." He looked at Nuwa, "This matter ultimately concerns Junior Brother Fuxi's lifelong path, and it still requires the will of Junior Sister Nuwa and Junior Brother Fuxi himself."

Laozi remained seated until now, when he finally spoke slowly, his voice calm yet carrying the power to stabilize the universe: "The opportunity is here, we can act accordingly. Since Xuanbao has proposed this, and Junior Sister Nuwa is in charge of marriage, we might as well first deduce whether this marriage is feasible, and what the advantages and disadvantages will be for Fuxi, for the Taiyin Star, and for the general trend of the primordial world. If it is indeed a good match, then it is not too late to discuss it with Junior Brother Fuxi."

Upon hearing this, Xuanbao felt reassured. It seemed that his plan to "intercept" the enemy was not just a figment of his imagination, but might actually align with the will of Heaven.

Tongtian clapped his hands and laughed, "Excellent! In that case, let's not delay. Junior Sister Nuwa, what do you think we should do?"

Nuwa pondered for a moment and said, "A heavenly marriage is no small matter. It requires mutual understanding and at least the absence of ill will from both parties to become Daoist partners under the witness of Heaven and share in the merits. I will speak to my brother myself. However, my fellow Daoists Xihe and Changxi on the Taiyin Star have long resided in the Moon Palace, living in seclusion and rarely interacting with the outside world. Although we met once in the Zixiao Palace, it might be abrupt to mention marriage so abruptly."

Xuanbao stepped forward at the opportune moment and bowed again: "Three masters, Sister Nuwa, this disciple wishes to make a trip to Taiyin Star."

Yuanshi looked at him: "Oh? How do you plan to persuade them?"

Xuanbao calmly replied, "I have indeed met the two Taiyin Goddesses once, and we have a connection. I can first visit them under the guise of exchanging Daoist teachings, and then act according to the circumstances. Firstly, I can observe their views on the demon race and the current state of the Heavenly Court, especially their impressions of Di Jun. Secondly, I can use the opportunity of discussing Daoist teachings to subtly mention Uncle-Master Fuxi's character, cultivation, contributions to the human race, and his Daoist philosophy of harmonizing Yin and Yang, so that the two goddesses can gain some understanding. When the time is right, I can then ask Sister Nuwa, as the Sage of Marriage, to formally propose a heavenly marriage, which will seem natural and not abrupt."

Lao Tzu nodded slightly: "Well thought out, acceptable."

Having received his orders, Xuanbao left the Sanqing Palace, tore open the space in front of him, and headed towards the Taiyin Star.

On his journey, he couldn't help but recall his first encounter with Xihe and Changxi in the Zixiao Palace. Xihe was dignified and gentle, her moon-white dress radiating a soft glow; Changxi was lively and spirited, yet her brows held a hint of sorrow. He thought of these two goddesses, who, after marrying Dijun, met tragic ends, nine of their ten sons dying. Xuanbao sighed inwardly, determined to do his utmost to facilitate this celestial marriage and change their fate. Before long, he arrived at Taiyin Star.

The Moon, cold and solitary, shines with silvery light.

The Guanghan Palace, hidden among the jade-like branches of the laurel tree, was draped in silver and untouched by dust. Xuanbao arrived riding on auspicious clouds, only to find the palace gates ajar, the two characters "Guanghan" on the lintel shimmering with the cool moonlight. He straightened his Taoist robes and announced loudly, "Kunlun Xuanbao has come to pay a visit to my two senior uncles, Xihe and Changxi."

Before long, the palace gates opened slightly, and two fairies in plain white robes emerged side by side. Xihe wore a moon-white long dress, her features gentle and her demeanor dignified; Changxi wore a light blue silk robe, lively and pretty, her smile radiant. They were exactly as they had been seen in the Zixiao Palace, only now with an added touch of the unique cool and aloof charm of the Taiyin.

"Junior Nephew Xuanbao?" Chang Xi's eyes flashed with surprise. "It's been so long! You're even more charming than before!"

Xihe greeted him with a smile, saying, "Nephew, you have come from afar. Please come into the palace for a chat."

Seeing Xuanbao's drastically changed appearance, it's astonishing that back then in Zixiao Palace, Xuanbao's realm was merely that of a Taiyi Golden Immortal. Now, in just tens of thousands of years, his realm has actually reached the Quasi-Saint realm... It's terrifying.

The three entered the Moon Palace, where they saw jade steps and icy railings, and jade flowers and precious herbs, all exuding a serene and tranquil atmosphere. In the hall, there was a jade table and futons, with the faint shadow of a laurel tree in the center, emitting a refreshing fragrance.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Xuanbao changed the subject and brought up recent major events in the prehistoric world: "I heard that some time ago, the demon race experienced another upheaval. Emperor Jun has returned to the Heavenly Court, and it seems he has something big planned."

Upon hearing this, Xihe frowned slightly: "Dijun is a man of deep cunning and great ambition. His desire to rule over all the races of the prehistoric world is likely just a mirage."

Chang Xi nodded and said, "Sister is right. My Taiyin Star has always been pure and self-disciplined, untouched by worldly karma. A few days ago, Di Jun sent an envoy who made many probing remarks, which my sister and I politely declined."

Xuanbao's heart skipped a beat: "Oh? I wonder what he's testing me about?"

Xihe sighed softly, "It's nothing more than talk of alliances and marriages. He said that the Taiyin star belongs to Yin and the Taiyang star belongs to Yang, and the harmony of Yin and Yang is the ultimate principle of Heaven. What he meant was..." She shook her head, "My sister and I are devoted to cultivating the Tao and have no intention of participating in the Heavenly Court's conflicts, much less becoming pawns for others to consolidate their fortunes."

Chang Xi continued, "Exactly. Although Di Jun was born from the Sun Star and has a noble status, he is arrogant and willful, and will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. The demon race may seem powerful now, but in reality, it has made countless enemies, and is at odds with the witch race. They would avoid such a dangerous place like the plague, so why would they walk into a trap?"

Xuanbao had already made up his mind after hearing this. It seemed that Xihe and Changxi had no goodwill towards Dijun or even the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race, which saved him a lot of trouble.

Xuanbao's lips curled up slightly as he subtly steered the conversation toward Fuxi: "You two senior uncles have insightful views; Dijun's actions have indeed been quite inappropriate."

However, the reason I came here is indeed to ask you two to... well, Xuanbao didn't know what to say at this point. Should he say that he came with the same idea as Dijun? After pondering for a while, Xuanbao simply asked directly, "Uncle-Master, do you want a Daoist partner?"

Xihe:……

Chang Xi: ...

Xihe and Changxi were both taken aback, looking at Xuanbao with curiosity. Xuanbao coughed awkwardly and quickly explained, "Please don't be offended, Uncles. I just feel that there is someone who is very well-matched with you two. This person is Uncle Fuxi. He is of noble character and his ability to deduce the secrets of heaven and harmonize the principles of Yin and Yang is unparalleled. He is now spreading the Dao among the human race, educating all people, and accumulating immeasurable merit. If we could become Daoist partners with you two Uncles, our Yin and Yang would complement each other, bringing great benefit to all."

Xuanbao smiled and said, "Sister Nuwa also has this idea and is planning to discuss it with Uncle Fuxi. If the two uncles are interested, it's not too late to make a decision after Sister Nuwa has explained things to Uncle Fuxi."
