Chapter 43: Heaven's Instructions, Nuwa Desires to Fulfill a Heavenly Marriage
Zhen Yuanzi stormed the South Heavenly Gate in anger for Hongyun, but was captured by Hongjun midway. It turned out that Hongjun had specially chosen Zhen Yuanzi as the last Heavenly Saint to fill the vacancy of the Six Saints of Heaven.
After returning to Wuzhuang Temple, Zhen Yuanzi closed the gates and devoted himself to comprehending the Primordial Purple Qi.
A thousand years later, Di Jun and Tai Yi recovered from their injuries and emerged from seclusion. The first thing they learned upon their return was that Zhen Yuanzi had caused havoc in the Heavenly Court. The hot-tempered Tai Yi initially intended to teach Zhen Yuanzi a lesson, but upon learning that Zhen Yuanzi had become Hongjun's disciple, both Di Jun and Tai Yi fell silent.
"It seems that the Primordial Purple Qi of Hongyun was taken back by the Dao Ancestor. Zhen Yuanzi suddenly became the Dao Ancestor's disciple, so it seems that the Primordial Purple Qi has fallen into Zhen Yuanzi's hands." Di Jun said with a disappointed look. He never expected that all his scheming would end up being for nothing, and he even got injured for nothing.
"The Dao Ancestor is being unfair! He clearly said that everyone should rely on their own destiny, but he interfered and took back the Primordial Purple Qi, and even bestowed it upon Zhen Yuanzi." Taiyi said with a face full of indignation. When Hongjun bestowed the Primordial Purple Qi upon Hongyun, he clearly said that becoming a saint depended on one's own destiny. But after they finally managed to kill Hongyun, Hongjun went back on his word, took back the Primordial Purple Qi, and even bestowed it upon Zhen Yuanzi. Isn't this just playing with them?
"Donghuang, be careful what you say!" Fuxi was terrified when he heard Taiyi talking about Hongjun so loudly. He knew that sages were all-knowing, let alone Hongjun, who was the representative of the Heavenly Dao. There was almost nothing in the entire prehistoric world that Hongjun did not know. If Hongjun got angry and punished the demon race, what would happen if Taiyi made such a fuss about him?
"Uh..." Taiyi realized he had misspoke and immediately shut his mouth, but his expression was very unnatural, clearly still having a lot of opinions about Hongjun.
"Second brother, Xi Huang is right. You should rein in your temper, or you will bring disaster upon our demon race." Di Jun also took the opportunity to advise Taiyi. Taiyi is good in every way, but he has too impulsive a temper. Relying on the Eastern Emperor Bell in his hand, he often looks down on others and thinks too highly of himself. Before the Five Sages of the Heavenly Dao became saints, Taiyi also looked down on them. Therefore, he has made many enemies in the prehistoric world.
"Big brother, I understand," Taiyi said, puffing out his cheeks.
"Xi Huang, since Zhen Yuanzi has been accepted as a disciple by the Dao Ancestor and bestowed with the Primordial Purple Qi, he must surely have a place among the Heavenly Dao Saints. Our demon race has a grudge against him because of Hong Yun, and I'm afraid he will make things difficult for our demon race after he becomes a saint." Di Jun told Fu Xi about his fellow Daoist, hoping that Fu Xi could speak to Nuwa. Since Nuwa became a saint, she has never come to the Thirty-Three Heavens again, and Di Jun and Tai Yi have not had many opportunities to contact Nuwa. They can only use Fu Xi to convey the situation of the demon race to Nuwa.
"Demon Emperor, rest assured, Goddess Nuwa once said that Heavenly Saints should not lightly descend upon the Primordial World. Moreover, our Demon Clan is the protagonist of the Great Tribulation supported by Heavenly Dao, with profound fortune. Neither Heavenly Dao nor Dao Ancestor will allow Zhen Yuanzi to make things too difficult for our Demon Clan. However, since the enmity has been formed, do not expect Zhen Yuanzi to let our Demon Clan off easily. But with Goddess Nuwa here, Zhen Yuanzi will not go too far," Fuxi said.
"That's good!" Upon hearing this, Di Jun breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, Nuwa, who was in the Chaos Nuwa Palace, also received instructions from Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao. She left the Nuwa Palace and soon arrived at the Lingxiao Palace.
While discussing how to deal with Zhen Yuanzi, Di Jun, Tai Yi, and Fu Xi saw Nuwa descend and immediately bowed, saying, "Greetings, Goddess Nuwa! May Goddess Nuwa live a long and prosperous life!"
"No need for such formalities!" Nuwa nodded and said.
"I wonder what important matter brings the Goddess Nuwa here?" Fuxi asked Nuwa.
"Brother, I have come here today because I received a revelation from our teacher and the Heavenly Dao. There is a great merit that the Demon Emperor and the Eastern Emperor need to complete," Nuwa said to Fuxi with a smile.
Meanwhile, Di Jun and Tai Yi, who were standing nearby, immediately perked up when they learned of the great merit. They had already experienced the wonders of merit when they established the Heavenly Court. Their slow progress in cultivation over the years had caused them great distress. If they could obtain a great merit at this time, Di Jun was confident that he could sever his third corpse and break through to the peak of Quasi-Saint.
"I wonder what Di Jun needs to do? I hope Goddess Nuwa can give me some instructions!" Di Jun hurriedly asked Nuwa for advice.
Nuwa said, "As the saying goes, yin cannot grow alone, and yang cannot be born alone. The harmony of yin and yang is the ultimate principle of heaven and earth. As the goddess who wields the sacred artifact of merit, the Red Embroidered Ball, I should follow the way of heaven and earth and achieve the marriage of heaven, earth, and man. The Demon Emperor is the best candidate for the heavenly marriage. He should select a suitable female cultivator in the prehistoric world to become his Daoist partner and achieve the heavenly marriage."
"To become Daoist partners and achieve a heavenly marriage?" Di Jun murmured. The term "Daoist partner" has a long history, but as the ruler of the demon race, Di Jun has always taken it upon himself to promote the prosperity of the demon race. He had never thought about Daoist partners before. Nuwa's sudden move caught Di Jun off guard.
"Goddess Nuwa, I understand, but in the primordial world, although there are countless female cultivators, there are probably very few who can become the Queen of the Demon Clan," Di Jun said. Di Jun is a powerful figure in the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint, so he can't just look for an ordinary female cultivator, can he? She must be a Primordial God or Demon. However, among Di Jun's peers, there are only a handful of female cultivators with sufficient cultivation, such as Nuwa, Houtu, and the Queen Mother of the West. Nuwa has already become a Saint, so it is absolutely impossible for her to become Di Jun's Daoist partner. Di Jun doesn't even dare to think about it. Houtu is from the Witch Clan, so it is even more impossible. The Queen Mother of the West has now joined the Jie Sect, and given Tongtian's personality, it is impossible for her to become his partner. Therefore, Di Jun really doesn't have any good candidates for the time being.
"Demon Emperor, rest assured, I have already prepared a suitable candidate for you before I came here. There are two sisters on the Taiyin Star, named Xihe and Changxi. Both of them are transformed from the origin of the Taiyin Star. The Demon Emperor and the Eastern Emperor are transformed from the origin of the Sun Star. One is Yin and the other is Yang, which is in line with the ultimate principle of Yin and Yang harmony. If the Demon Emperor is willing, I am willing to go to the Taiyin Star to act as matchmaker." Nuwa said. Nuwa was naturally aware of Dijun's worries. In fact, before Dijun even brought it up, Nuwa had already thought of a suitable candidate for him.
"One yin and one yang, indeed excellent!" Di Jun had heard of Xi He and Chang Xi from the Taiyin Star when he was on the Sun Star. However, at that time, Di Jun was single-mindedly focused on unifying the demon race and dominating the prehistoric world. He had never seen Xi He and Chang Xi before, so he did not think of them when filtering the female cultivators of the prehistoric world. But after hearing what Nuwa said, Xi He and Chang Xi seemed to be the best candidates, even more suitable than Nuwa, the Heavenly Dao Saint.
"If Emperor Jun is willing, I hope Goddess Nuwa will grant his request!" Emperor Jun said.
"Very well, since that's the case, then I will make a trip to Taiyin Star to help the Demon Emperor and the Eastern Emperor accomplish this matter!" Nuwa nodded in satisfaction when she saw that Dijun had agreed.
"Thank you for your help, Goddess Nuwa!" Di Jun said.
After leaving the Thirty-Three Heavens, Nuwa went straight to the Taiyin Star and told her sisters Xihe and Changxi about her intentions. The two sisters disagreed, as they did not want to get involved in the struggles of the prehistoric world. After becoming Daoist partners with Dijun and Taiyi, they would inevitably be drawn into the struggle with the Wu Clan, which was not what the sisters wanted.
However, under Nuwa's persuasive tongue and a combination of coercion and enticement, the sisters Xihe and Changxi finally agreed.
After dealing with Xihe and Changxi, Nuwa sent the news back to the Thirty-Third Heaven and instructed Dijun to prepare to go to Taiyin Star to fetch his bride a thousand years later.
