The First Demon of the Chan Sect-Chapter 106 - 52 Nuwa Palace

Time is sometimes the least valuable thing.

Li Qingming has been guarding the Human Clan for over one thousand and five hundred years. On this day, he was teaching eight disciples of Sui Ren in the practice of spells, when a crisp and resonant voice spread throughout the Primordial Land.

"I am called Nuwa, a disciple of Taoist Ancestor Hong Jun. Today, by the command of my teacher, I will relocate my Daoist sanctuary beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens. All who are fated may come and witness!"

Upon hearing this familiar voice, Sui Ren and the others nearly cried out in excitement.

Li Qingming soothed everyone, thinking to himself: "Following the teacher’s command? Seems like Hong Jun also fears the Saints disturbing the Spiritual Energy of Primordial. Establishing a sanctuary in Chaos, I must go and have a look!"

With that thought, he quietly instructed the eight disciples and headed straight for the Chaos beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens.

The Three Pure Ones, who were at Kunlun Mountain verifying each other’s Taoism, set off immediately upon hearing Nuwa’s words. After all, Nuwa opening a Daoist sanctuary in Chaos was a big deal, and the three might even grasp something from it.

The pretenders of deep sleep in the Western Great Leiyin Temple, Zhunti and Jieyin, did not delay either, and set off immediately for the Thirty-Three Heavens beyond.

Meanwhile, Zhen Yuanzi of Wuzhuang Temple, Blood Sea Nether River, Hongyun Taoist... all hurried towards the Outer Heaven Chaos.

This event made no one happier than the brothers Di Jun and Taiyi. After Nuwa became a Saint, Di Jun personally brought a large amount of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to Nuwa Palace to congratulate Nuwa on her ascension. Nuwa, who disliked strife, agreed to help the Demon Clan Heavenly Court in critical moments three times. To not waste these precious three opportunities, upon hearing Nuwa’s direct invitation, Di Jun quickly took Taiyi and rushed towards the Thirty-Three Heavens beyond.

At this moment, the outside of the Thirty-Three Heavens Chaos was extraordinarily lively! Almost all of the three thousand mortals who had once listened to the lectures at Zixiao Palace, with the exception of a few unfortunate ones who had perished, were present.

The Three Pure Ones were the first to arrive in Outer Heaven, upon seeing Nuwa, Laozi’s expression was slightly troubled. He greeted her and said: "Congratulations to Lady Nuwa on becoming a Saint, may Nuwa’s sanctified life be boundless!"

Nuwa, seeing this, hurriedly stepped aside, as in her heart she was as clear as a mirror: The Three Pure Ones were destined to become Saints, and they were actual brothers, truly three in one. She would not presume herself with her Saint cultivation to readily accept the homage from the three.

Nuwa responded with a slight smile and returned the gesture, "Why such formalities, Great Elder Brother? Your sister has only become a Saint by chance and fortune."

Tongtian twitched the corners of his mouth upon hearing this, and privately scoffed, "Chance? Fortune? Why don’t I have such good fortune!"

Laozi laughed softly, not minding the remark, and said, "Sister Nuwa, you speak too modestly. We all received the Hongmeng Purple Qi, and today you have become a Saint. Yet we linger at the doorstep and cannot enter, ashamed indeed!"

Nuwa looked deeply at Laozi and exclaimed, "Elder Brother’s cultivation is profound; naturally, you will become a Saint when the opportunity comes. Besides, your sister has only become a Saint through merit, incomparable with what you elder brothers have achieved."

Laozi smiled, about to say something more, when those irritatingly sharp words interrupted everyone’s mood.

"Jeweled flames and golden light keep our sight clear, Leiyin’s law resonates and the path becomes clear; The Blessing Divine Mallet rarely seen by man, the seven treasures cup difficult to traverse; Now we all embark on a journey to Chaos, only in Mount Sumeru can the Great Dao be understood!"

Jieyin and Zhunti, upon seeing Nuwa, respectfully performed a salutation. Nuwa, while smiling on the surface, was inwardly disdainful of their actions. To her, giving them any further glance would be an honor they did not deserve.

"Ha ha ha ha, my Fellow Daoists, I’m late!" Li Qingming laughed heartily, riding Xiong Da from afar.

Those well-acquainted with Li Qingming responded with frequent smiles and nods, such as Zhunti with his sly grin, and Jieyin with his bitter expression.

Li Qingming approached Nuwa and greeted: "Qingmingzi pays his respects to Lady Nuwa, may your sanctified life be boundless!"

Nuwa’s eyes dimmed slightly, and she responded softly: "No need for such formalities."

The others, except for the powers of the Demon Clan, were treated with indifference by Nuwa’s temperament.

Seeing that most who were supposed to come had arrived, Nuwa crisply said: "My Fellow Daoists, I shall reopen Nuwa Palace here in Chaos. How much you will understand depends entirely on yourselves!"

The crowd bowed deeply, exclaiming out loud: "Great grace of our Lady!"

Nuwa nodded her head and rose to her feet. With a wave of her hand, the Innate Treasure, the Red Embroidery Ball, appeared in the Void.

The embroidery ball swayed wildly, gleaming with crystal-clear red light. Crimson beams of light shot upwards like ribbons reaching for the sky. The ball expanded wildly for a while and, like a black hole, devoured the boundless Chaos Qi.

"Boom!"

Not far away, stars trembled, meteorites shattered, and a small asteroid over a hundred in diameter fractured suddenly, like dust, was drawn into the black hole created by the Embroidery Ball.

"Crack!"

Accompanied by the distinct sound of breaking, the already fragmented asteroid continued to collapse; larger meteorite pieces and unknown countless parts kept falling off, rushing towards the terrifying Red Embroidery Ball.

It was a chilling scene, whether it was due to the Saint’s formidable powers or the mighty force of the Red Embroidery Ball itself, together they seemed to possess a Swallowing Heaven strength.

Tremors ran through the hearts of those present, was this the power of a Saint? Indeed, without becoming a Saint, one is but an ant! The looks in the eyes of Kunpeng, Di Jun, and others even turned covetous towards the Hongyun Taoist.

Poor Hongyun Taoist, oblivious to being the target of others’ schemes, was still excitedly watching Lady Nuwa create her Daoist realm, well deserving of his misfortune.

"Dang!"

A crisp booming sound shattered the remaining asteroids straight into the Void. Tiny, spider-web-like cracks began to appear on the solid Chaos Barrier.

"Boom!"

The world-renowned Innate Treasure, the Mountain and River Map, abruptly materialized beside the Red Embroidery Ball.

Lady Nuwa let out a light scold and made another move; one could see her hands constantly shifting, rapidly forming seals at an extremely fast pace! In a hazed blur, it looked as though thousands of arms had appeared. The Mountain and River Map in the Void unfolded with a "whoosh," instantly covering the Void like a vast river, interrupting the thousands of miles of Chaos Space.

"Screech!"

Phoenix Cry shakes the Nine Heavens, a Fire Phoenix with wings spanned for miles soared into the sky, flames burning the firmament, its wings flapping sonorously, divine feathers glistening, its might comparable to a Peak Sub-Saint!

"Boom!"

The Fire Phoenix in the Void, with flames that covered Heaven and Earth, furiously dove towards the Chaos Barrier that now bore cracks. The terrifying aura spread everywhere within tens of thousands of miles, all visibly dominated by towering waves of fire!

Abruptly, a grey mist of Chaos Qi flitted over the Chaos Barrier, and the rich aroma instantly shot towards the web-like cracks. If these gases were to repair the spatial barrier, then all of Lady Nuwa’s actions would have been in vain.

"Hmph!" Lady Nuwa let out a delicate snort, a boundless authority suddenly surged from her being, raising the hair on the necks of everyone present, like a sword at their backs! It was difficult to imagine that such a delicate and beautiful woman could hold such an imposing presence.

"Boom!"

The Red Embroidery Ball bobbed up and down, growing more antique and imposing, the surges of Chaos Qi that fell from the ball froze the entire Void in place. One could no longer feel the flow of Chaos Qi, nor could one hear the booming collision of the Embroidery Ball against the Void.

The sight was extremely frightening, with the vastness, as if thousands of waterfalls hung from the outer Void, nearly shattering the spirit of any who beheld it. Many of the newly advanced Daluo Golden Immortals could not withstand the assault on their minds, trembling as they knelt before this Embroidery Ball.

"Boom! Crack!"

With two crisp booming sounds, the spatial barrier finally collapsed! The fractured Void kept proliferating and vanishing, dense and misty, much like the very birthplace of Chaos’ origin.

After what seemed like an eternity, the entire barrier finally settled down. Lady Nuwa continually pulled countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from her storage space; with a mere gesture, they automatically spread out, and Lady Nuwa struck out innumerable spells. The Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures slowly transformed into an exquisitely glorious palace.

Above the palace’s main entrance, there was a Purple Gold Phoenix plaque with three Dragon-dancing Tao Runes, emanating thick Creation Energy. From these three Tao Runes, one could perceive Lady Nuwa’s deep understanding and profound mastery over the Creation Skill.

With the completion of Nuwa Palace, everyone came forward to offer their congratulations.

Lady Nuwa too was overjoyed, and, with a sweet voice, said to everyone: "Many thanks to the Fellow Daoists for attending this occasion. From now on, I shall reside in this Chaos Nuwa Palace!"

Being perceptive, seeing that Lady Nuwa was not in a chatty mood, the crowd took their leave one after another. Li Qingming also remained concerned about Hongyun and Kunpeng, so he followed Kunpeng and descended to the Primordial Land!
