The First Demon of the Chan Sect-Chapter 102 - 48 Nuwa Creates Humans and Eventually Becomes a Saint (Part 3)

Chapter 102: Chapter 48 Nuwa Creates Humans and Eventually Becomes a Saint (Part 3)

Watching the men and women with stunned expressions yet fleshly bodies, Nuwa felt a stirring in her heart and merged a few drops of her own fresh blood into those women’s bodies. Houtu found this interesting, so she also infused a few drops of her own blood into two of the women.

Li Qingming saw the two acting in such a way and pressed out a few drops of his blood as well, merging them into the bodies of some of the men.

"Hiss!"

A brilliant aura suddenly burst forth, and after persisting for a while, the light dissipated. A few naked men and women glanced at each other and when they saw the trio of Li Qingming, they quickly knelt on the ground, calling out: "We pay respects to the two Holy Mothers, and to the Holy Father!"

Houtu’s face flushed with embarrassment as she sneakily glanced at Li Qingming from time to time. Li Qingming also felt extremely awkward.

In contrast, Nuwa was utterly delighted! Seeing the liveliness of these people, she took some mud and started molding human figures, but Nuwa found this too slow. She turned her head to look for something to leverage.

Just in time, Li Qingming handed over the Innate Gourd Vine, and Nuwa gave him a grateful look. She touched the vine to the mud before her and then shook it in the air, scattering myriad droplets of mud-water onto the ground. Immediately, naked men and women appeared all over. Nuwa repeated the dipping and spellcasting several times until countless people appeared on the ground.

Seeing this, Nuwa was finally satisfied. She ceased her creation, conjured clothing for the crowd with her magic, and signaled to Houtu to collect the remaining Soil, deciding not to create more humans.

Looking up at Li Qingming, she asked, "What should this clan be named?"

Li Qingming smiled slightly and said, "These creatures are born with Innate Taoist Bodies, ordained by the Heavenly Dao, and Saints are also chosen by the Heavenly Dao. The Saints called them ’humans,’ so why not refer to them as the ’Human Clan’!"

Nuwa was overjoyed at these words and declared, "From now on, you all shall be known as the ’Human Clan’!"

Upon hearing this, the collective Human Clan prostrated themselves on the ground, loudly calling, "The Human Clan pays respects to the two Holy Mothers, Holy Father! Long live the Holy Mothers, long live the Holy Father!"

As the Human Clan spoke these words, the Heavenly Dao sensed it and bestowed tens of thousands of Merits. The magnitude of these Merits rivaled that of the Pan Gu God’s creation of the world.

Golden light engulfed the Primordial Horizon, and the vast Merits were divided into four parts: seventy percent went to Nuwa, ten percent to Li Qingming, ten percent to Houtu, and five percent to the gourd vine. The remaining five percent transformed into countless fragments, merging into the bodies of the millions of Humans Clan before them.

Nuwa looked at the Human Clan before her, her heart brimming with joy. Suddenly, a heavenly phenomenon appeared, with numerous petals materializing out of nowhere, accompanied by bursts of celestial music and an intoxicating fragrance.

With Merits entering her body, they intertwined with the remaining half of the Hongmeng Purple Qi inside her. As the celestial destiny turned, Nuwa felt her comprehension of and insight into the Dao becoming clearer, her understanding deepened. The position of a Saint seemed to be within easy reach for her.

"Boom!"

Nuwa felt as though a lock inside her body had been opened, and she crazily absorbed it into herself, her cultivation growing rapidly.

After a while, Nuwa’s body suddenly emitted a brilliant light, exceptionally dazzling. The Void itself seemed to fracture, and the murky Chaos Qi poured in from all directions.

Heaven and Earth changed color in an instant; winds howled, clouds swirled, lightning flashed, and thunder roared, with extraordinary phenomena unfolding and celestial music resounding faintly, lotuses blooming everywhere, fragrance drifting in all directions.

This continued for an unknown length of time, and Nuwa’s presence suddenly emitted boundless pressure, sweeping across the entire Primordial World!

In just an instant, this sensation vanished!

The next wave of pressure emanating from Nuwa, although much lesser compared to the initial pressure released by Taoist Ancestor Hong Jun when he became a Saint, was still so immense that it nearly suffocated all living beings in the Primordial Land.

Looking at the newly born millions of the Human Clan, they had long been pressed firmly to the ground by Nuwa’s overwhelming aura.

Nuwa raised her head, looking up at the clear sky and proclaimed proudly, "I, Nuwa, disciple of Taoist Ancestor Hong Jun, become a Saint through the creation of a clan! The beings I created shall be called ’Humans’! Born as humans, and in accordance with the Great Dao! Human Clan, arise!"

"Roar!"

The Primordial Land suddenly became enveloped in swirling dark clouds, thunder rumbling loudly. It seemed as if the Heavenly Dao itself was opposing the emergence of the Human Clan, but in an instant, the clouds dispersed, and the winds and thunder ceased!

Golden rain fell from the sky, helping countless cultivators break through their bottlenecks and causing many others to regret deeply.

However, this had nothing to do with Li Qingming and the others.

Kunlun Mountain, the Three Pure Ones Daoist School.

"Elder Brother, I never expected that Lady Nuwa would surpass us!" Primordial knitted his brows slightly, a bitter expression on his face, "As of now, we still haven’t a clue about the Hongmeng Purple Qi. What are we to do?"

Laozi’s eyebrows lifted; his usual indifferent demeanor vanished in an instant, replaced with a look of worry as he glanced at Tongtian and Primordial and said, "Brothers, rather than blaming ourselves and lamenting, why not recite the ’Scriptures of the Yellow Court’ in quiet reflection?"

Tongtian suddenly let out a sly laugh, "I’m afraid those two from the West are green with envy by now!"

Laozi and Primordial looked at each other and smiled, for the moment forgetting the troubles of achieving sainthood.

Indeed, Tongtian was not wrong. At this moment in the Great Leiyin Temple on Mount Sumeru, Zhunti was stamping with rage.

"Brother, I am truly infuriated!" With deadly Qi pervading his words, Zhunti spoke in a rage, "That Nuwa, a mere woman, manages to become a saint before us, riding high above our heads! Where does that leave our dignity?"

Jieyin’s expression was equally crestfallen, but the helplessness in his eyes betrayed his current irritability. "Brother, everyone has their own destiny. Why must you force what is naturally another’s to be yours?"

Grinding his teeth, Zhunti retorted, "I simply cannot swallow this humiliation! Our Hongmeng Purple Qi lies dormant like a dead thing, unmoving atop our Primordial Spirit Sea. When, oh when, will we be able to grasp the Great Dao?"

Jieyin slightly raised his eyelids, choosing to remain silent. Instead, he brought his hands together and began to recite a sutra, "Shariputra, the nature of all phenomena is emptiness: not born, not destroyed; not tainted, not pure; not increasing, not decreasing. Therefore, in emptiness, there is no form, no sensation, perception, formation, or consciousness..."

Heavenly Court, Lingxiao Palace.

"Haha, Brother! It’s truly as if the Heavenly Dao is with me! Now that Lady Nuwa has become a saint, I want to see how the Witch Tribe dares to compete with us!" Taiyi spoke arrogantly, his face filled with triumph.

A hint of austere smile crossed the majestic face of Di Jun as he said, "Bai Ze, Friend Daoist, please trouble yourself to go to the Heavenly Secret Vault and select some modest gifts. I intend to offer my personal congratulations to Lady Nuwa on her ascension to sainthood!"

With a gentle flick of his feather fan and a smiling nod, Bai Ze accepted.

Not far from the place where Nuwa was born and ascended is the Ancestral Witch Hall, where the Ancestor Witches were in a heated argument.

"Elder Brother, the Demon Race has a Saint now, while our Witch Tribe has no Primordial Spirit to ascend to sainthood. What shall we do?" Qiang Liang’s face showed defeat and he spoke feebly.

Di Jiang’s face was solemn and his brows were tightly furrowed as he said, "Yes, Elder Brother! Without a saint of our own, how can our Witch Tribe claim the role of master of Heaven and Earth?"

The Heaven and Earth Taoist, lurking in the shadows, suddenly stood up, his eyes shooting out an inch-long Blood Radiance, and spoke with a hoarse voice, "Fear not, I have a plan."

Seeing the assured way the Heaven and Earth Taoist spoke, the Ancestor Witches felt some disbelief, yet they said no more.

At this moment, no one noticed that Zhu Jiuyin had a shadowy, vicious look, his eyes full of bloodshot streaks.

Longevity Mountain, Blood Sea, Shuiyuan Palace... All around, there was envy, excitement, jealousy, a myriad of emotions.

Let us turn back to that little valley.

After Nuwa’s ascension, a rainbow-colored light descended to the earth and transformed into a human figure prostrating on the ground, saying, "Congratulations to Lady Nuwa on achieving immortality, for certifying the Primordial Dao Fruit and enjoying boundless divine longevity!"

Nuwa gently supported herself with her right hand and said, "As a Five-Colored Phoenix, you are naturally an auspicious beast! From now on, follow me, and I shall ensure your safety."

The Five-Colored Phoenix joyfully performed a courtesy and said, "Thank you for the Holy Grace of Lady Nuwa!"

Nuwa turned her head gently, her gaze tenderly sweeping over the millions of the Human Clan, then bowed slightly to Li Qingming and said, "I have just become a saint and my cultivation is not yet stable. I must return to my palace to solidify my cultivation. Fellow Daoist, please take good care of the newly born Human Clan. I am deeply grateful!"

Li Qingming promptly leapt aside to return the bow, saying, "Your Majesty’s command, Qingmingzi shall certainly obey!"

Nuwa nodded slightly and rode the Five-Colored Phoenix back to Nuwa Palace.

Seeing Nuwa about to leave, the Human Clan members collectively bowed and said, "We respectfully see off the Holy Mother!"

Li Qingming looked at Nuwa’s receding figure with complex eyes, sighed, and said, "Ah, I just hope you do not disappoint me!"
