Chapter 171: The Beginning of Nuwa's Creation of Humans
Heaven, Six Emperor Heavens, Golden Crow Palace.
As soon as the ten golden crows woke up, they kept screaming in the hall, saying that they were in pain here and there. In short, they disturbed everyone. Their sister retreated to the Moon Star early and didn't want to have any contact with their brother at all.
Because Lu Ya was protected by his brothers, his injuries were the lightest and he was now able to spread his wings and fly high. At this moment, he was roaring in the palace, and he kept saying that he wanted revenge.
As soon as Di Jun entered the palace, he heard Lu Ya cursing Wangshu, and even mentioned Heng Ming in some of his words. His face darkened and he shouted, "You are so energetic, I think you haven't learned enough lessons! Do I have to discipline you personally and press you into the bottom of the Sun Star for ten thousand years before you will stop!"
After being scolded by their own father, the ten golden crows no longer dared to be arrogant.
Xihe did dote on them, but Di Jun was not a father who doted on his children. Instead, he believed that only experience could forge true gold. He had handed the children over to Xihe for discipline because he did not have time before, but he did not expect that Xihe would dote on her children so much, which forced him to do it himself.
After learning that Di Jun was heading to the Jinwu Palace, Xihe rushed over in a hurry, but was still a step too late. Before she entered the palace, she heard Di Jun loudly scolding them, which made her heartbroken.
"Your Majesty, all the mistakes are my fault, please stop scolding them!"
Xihe let out a mournful wail and stood in front of Di Jun. When the ten golden crows saw their mother coming, they immediately regained their former spirits, as if they had someone to rely on. Di Jun frowned and became furious.
Di Jun pushed Xihe away and shouted, "Don't think I won't punish you just because your mother is here! Since you don't want to go to the bottom of the Sun Star, all of you should get out of here and go to the Tang Valley in the East China Sea to practice in seclusion!"
I have transplanted the Fusang tree into Tang Valley. You will have enough divine fire to cultivate on the Fusang tree. When you are well-trained and can freely control the solar divine fire in your body, you can leave Tang Valley. Otherwise, you should never leave!"
When Xihe heard that her children were going to be driven to the remote Tang Valley, she felt even more distressed and said in a sad voice: "Your Majesty, I will definitely discipline our children well and don't drive them to Tang Valley. It is not a place for cultivation!"
The other Golden Crows trembled after hearing this, and could not believe that Di Jun would let them move to Tang Valley.
Tanggu may sound ordinary, but it is actually a dangerous place. Under the Tanggu is the eye of the East China Sea, which swallows up countless amounts of sea water every day. It is common to see huge waves thousands of feet high, and tsunamis are erupting all the time.
These tsunamis can even rush from the sea surface to the starry sky, blowing some tiny stars into the sea, and finally being swallowed by the East China Sea Eye. It can be seen that the power of the tsunami is unimaginable.
Tanggu is an island formed by the aggregation of tiny star fragments by coincidence. It has not been swallowed by the East China Sea Eye until today, which is a miracle.
Even ordinary cultivators who entered Tanggu would feel pain all over their bodies and their bodies would swell, as if thousands of acres of sea water were pouring into their bodies. Not to mention them, the fire elves. This was no different from committing suicide. It was for this reason that Xihe felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.
But no one could refuse what Di Jun decided. His face was grim and his words were colder than black ice.
"This is a test. When I abdicate in the future, these Golden Crows will take over. If they don't go through thousands of trials and tribulations, how can I trust them to hand over the Heavenly Palace to them? Sun Star Lord, capture these Golden Crows in Tang Valley now and guard them day and night. Don't allow anyone to let them out!"
A circle of fiery red sun floated out from Di Jun's body. As an unknown shadow entered, the circle of sun turned into a Taoist priest with a face that was 30% similar to Di Jun. It was none other than his Shanshi Sun Star Lord.
As soon as the Sun Star God appeared, he bowed. Seeing that Emperor Jun looked unhappy, he did not dare to say much. He immediately threw a huge fiery red net at the ten golden crows, capturing them tightly.
However, these ten Golden Crows were already seriously injured and had not yet recovered. How could they resist being trapped by the silk net? They screamed in fear.
Lu Ya cried out in a plaintive voice, "Father, we know we are wrong. Please don't drive us to Tanggu! Mother! Help us! Help us! Mother! Mother!"
As Lu Ya called out "Mother" for the last time, the Sun Star God grabbed the ten golden crows and turned into a ray of sunlight and rushed towards the Tang Valley of the East China Sea.
Seeing that her child had left, Xihe finally couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed softly to the ground, with crystal tears continuously flowing out. At this moment, this Hunyuan Golden Immortal was like a mother in the mortal world who had lost her child. She was completely hopeless and had no hope for anything.
Di Jun sighed, stepped forward and helped Xihe up, and said softly: "Xi'er, do you blame me?"
Xihe's jade-like face was full of tears. She shook her slender shoulders slightly and looked extremely sad. Her former arrogance had vanished, revealing a bit of fragility. She was so pitiful that even the heaven and earth would be moved by her.
But she shook her head firmly, bit her lip and said, "This is for their own good. Besides, my sister has warned me that my children will suffer a great disaster. If they can survive, what can I, as a mother, not tolerate? It's just separation, I can accept it."
Di Jun gently lifted a strand of Xihe's hair and held her in his arms. After Xihe finished speaking, she remained silent, but tears as white as pearls kept flowing down her face, lamenting that her child was far away from her.
This most powerful couple in the prehistoric world now seemed as helpless as ordinary couples facing powerful enemies.
They could only send the child away first, while they had to stay to delay the danger. In the west, Mount Xumi.
Beside the Eight Treasures Merit Pond, Zhunti was sitting on the Twelve-Level Merit Golden Lotus with his eyes closed, contemplating the great path of Nirvana. Suddenly he opened his eyes, and his gaze seemed to pass through thousands of mountains and rivers, gazing from afar at the Sun Star God who had transformed into sunlight and was heading towards the East China Sea, with a hint of surprise in his heart.
"Why did Emperor Jun send out the good corpses to enter the East Sea and pass through my west?"
The Taoist priest Jie Yin, who was sitting under the Bodhi tree nearby, opened his eyes and saw a slight ripple in the calm well, as if a stone had been thrown into it. But in the end, he closed his eyes again and thought no more.
The Three Pure Ones also opened their eyes on Kunlun Mountain and looked at the Sun Star Lord who had jumped into the East China Sea. The demon clan was becoming increasingly powerful, and they had no choice but to pay attention.
Apart from these five people, only two other saints of destiny could detect Di Jun's actions.
Heng Ming praised Taiyin Youying and Taiyang Zhuzhao in Yuhua Palace, and then asked them to continue practicing. After seeing the Sun Star Lord jumping into the East China Sea alone, he smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to take a talisman, threw it out casually, and saw a divine light crossing the sky and heading towards an unknown direction.
Buzhou mountain top.
Looking at the flash of sunlight in the distance, Nuwa smiled. A ray of divine light came towards her from the direction of the South China Sea and was caught in her hand in an instant.
When the divine light faded, a ball of colorful mud wrapped with a vine appeared. Nuwa held the mud in one hand and the vine in the other, and said with a smile: "The Golden Crow has appeared, and I will start the calamity."
Over the years, Nuwa did not sit in seclusion in Taisu Heaven to seek the truth. Instead, she measured the size of the primitive world with her feet, walked to every corner of the primitive world, and saw what all living beings in the world did and thought.
She practiced the Dao of Creation with great concentration, and was deeply impressed by the great god Pangu's great act of evolving the truth of all Daos with his own body. She specially created the method of creating the Dao body to seek Pangu's change.
As the saying goes, nine is the extreme number. Although Pangu has three thousand kinds of true body changes, in the final analysis there are only ninety-nine eighty-one root changes. Only by mastering these eighty-one root changes can the most perfect Pangu true body be created.
The human-headed and snake-bodied creation body of Nuwa is one of the eighty-one root changes, while the human-headed and dragon-bodied Bagua body of Fuxi is another root change.
But this is only the evolution of Pangu's power, and Nuwa does not pursue the three thousand great ways to understand all of them; she only pursues the ultimate in creation, which is to use a human head and a snake body to interpret the complete changes of creation.
In order to seek the ultimate creation, Nuwa has transformed countless creatures in the world over the past tens of thousands of years. Some turned into swimming fish, swimming with thousands of fish; some turned into flying birds, flying with thousands of birds; some turned into flowers and plants, swaying in the breeze; some turned into beasts, fighting with thousands of races.
What's worse, there were several times when it directly transformed into a long river or lake, imitating the primitive world in carrying all living things.
After tens of thousands of years of evolution and with the fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation borrowed from Heng Ming, Nuwa had long since understood the true meaning of creation. The changes of the Taoist body of creation she created have reached as many as seventy-two.
Different from Pangu's eighty-one changes, her seventy-two changes are all the rotation of the true meaning of creation, and she is only one step away from a complete breakthrough and becoming the immortal Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian.
She did not kill the third corpse because the secret method of killing the three corpses was unique to Hongjun. To her, it didn't matter whether the third corpse was killed or not, because her Tao heart already had no flaws.
She could have taken this step three thousand years ago, but it took her so long because of the future situation.
Nuwa sat in the air, the primordial purple energy in her sea of consciousness kept shaking, as if it wanted to take her into an extremely mysterious place, which could be called the ultimate place in the world. That was the source of everything and the end of everything: the Way of Heaven.
Nuwa had a smile on her jade-like face, and she didn't care about the changes in the Hongmeng purple energy. Her past explorations of it had now turned into something as gentle as clouds and water. It didn't matter if it changed or not, everything was so casual.
Only when you step into this realm, you will realize that everything is not important and there is no need to care.
A ball of colorful mud in front of her kept stirring, as if it was about to transform into an innate spirit fetus and achieve divinity, but how could Nuwa allow that? Nuwa stretched out her slender jade hand, grabbed the mud in her hand, and squeezed it gently. The mud immediately turned into muddy water, condensing in Nuwa's hand without dispersing, as if waiting for something.
Nuwa smiled slightly and shook the mud and water in her hands. With the nourishment of Nuwa's spirit of creation, every drop of mud and water immediately turned into a shape similar to Nuwa's when it touched the earth.
As the mud and water continued to drip down, a total of 1,500 innate Dao bodies appeared. However, these Dao bodies were the same as Nuwa, all of which were of the Yin element. Nuwa shook her head and said, "Yin alone cannot produce life, and Yang alone cannot grow. How can there be only Yin without Yang?"
The colorful mud and water shook slightly as Nuwa spoke, and immediately another fifteen hundred drops of mud and water dripped down. The innate Tao bodies transformed from these mud and water were all yang, and the sum of yin and yang was exactly three thousand.
It’s a pity that these innate Taoist bodies have expressionless faces and are seven colors. Although they have abundant spiritual energy, they are just made of mud and water. Apart from being used to refine treasures and elixirs, they have no other use.
