Chapter 593: When will Nuwa create humans?

Zheng Fa didn't care about the looks of Bai Lian and the others. He was listening carefully to the teachings of the Six Saints.

Since Tai Shang wanted to listen to the "Huang Ting Jing", Zheng Fa naturally had nothing to hide. Not to mention that he didn't know where these six big guys were now, even if they were still in Xuanwei, he didn't think there was any need for them to covet his "Huang Ting Jing".

The Six Saints were quite interested. After listening to the "Huangting Sutra", they expressed their own views. Zheng Fa also gained a lot, but the most important thing was the subsequent content of the "Huangting Sutra".

"The scattered immortals we know about." Nuwa said, "Or what you are talking about should not be the same thing."

Zheng Fa also somewhat agreed that the immortal ways of later generations and those of the ancient times were basically the same. For example, there were earthly immortals and celestial immortals in the ancient times, but Zheng Fa had never heard of them in later generations.

on the other hand……

"I really don't have any experience in cultivating as a Sanxian." Zheng Fa silently glanced at Nuwa. Nuwa looked innocent and said, "I have been Taiyi since I was born, and only then did I transform into Daluo. I really don't know how Sanxian cultivated before."

She looked at the five Supremes and asked, "Fellow brothers, you..."

Tai Shang and the others all shook their heads.

There aren't many problems in this world that can stump these six big guys, but Zheng Fa has hit a blind spot in their knowledge.

Tongtian was still sighing: "Don't talk about me, no matter how bad my disciples are, none of them are this weak."

...You are so good at talking, no wonder you were beaten up by the group.

This is also the difference between the prehistoric immortal way and the immortal way of later generations.

When Hongjun preached, he started out as a wandering immortal, and Tongtian and his group were Taiyi Daluo as soon as they opened their eyes.

It was still the same reason. Hongjun was a master of Taoism, but before him, there were already various ways of cultivation in the prehistoric world. What Hongjun did was to integrate them together to form a system.

But this does not mean that Tongtian and the others are really practicing step by step according to this path - they don't need to at all.

Moreover, in this era, which cultivator who can catch their eyes is not extremely talented?

They probably had never seen someone with Zheng Fa's level of cultivation before.

Seeing his speechless expression, Yuanshi thought for a moment and said, "Actually, it's not that there are no traces."

"Brother, are you talking about the ritual?" Nuwa continued, as if she had thought about it a long time ago.

"Yes, isn't it very similar?"

Zheng Fa was a little confused after hearing this. He just watched Nuwa nod slightly, and was even more bewildered. He didn't know what these two were talking about.

Tongtian didn't seem to understand either. He was impatient and asked repeatedly, "Like what? What are you talking about?"

"It's a bit like the process of a magic weapon transforming from acquired to innate."

Zheng Fa's eyes widened slightly, and he was surprised. Isn't this the function of the Qiankun Ding? How is it related to achieving the Dao Fruit?

As if she saw his confusion, Nuwa explained, "Do you know what is acquired and what is innate?"

Zheng Fa shook his head.

"Acquired is actually relative to innate. For example, there are acquired species only because there are innate creatures, and there are acquired magic weapons only because there are innate magic weapons."

This was easy to understand, but Zheng Fa asked the question that had been lingering in his mind: "What's the difference between innate and acquired magic weapons?"

Zheng Fa never understood this matter.

He also felt that the power of innate magic weapons should be stronger, but Zheng Fa was puzzled as to how powerful they were and why they were better than acquired magic weapons.

If it were someone else, they would naturally think that innate magic weapons are good, but Zheng Fa didn't think so -

If it were just a matter of being born early, then the innate creatures would rule the world. Why would we need the human race?

"Innate is a part of the Heavenly Dao itself. Generally speaking, innate magic weapons are born along with the Heavenly Dao." As if seeing his confusion, Nuwa Niangniang explained, "They may not be powerful, but innate magic weapons are themselves the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao and have their own advantages."

Yuanshi nodded and said, "I do have some experience in refining weapons. For magic weapons of the same type, innate magic weapons will restrain acquired magic weapons. When used, the spiritual power consumed by innate magic weapons and the power displayed will be stronger than acquired magic weapons."

"Of course, this doesn't mean that innate magic weapons are necessarily better than acquired magic weapons. The laws of nature are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining. Different magic weapons also have their own laws of reinforcing and restraining. Innate magic weapons cannot escape this law either."

After the two of them talked for so long, Zheng Fa sorted it out in his mind and finally managed to figure out what innate and acquired were.

To make an inappropriate analogy.

If the Way of Heaven is compared to a computer's operating system, then the innate magic weapons, or innate things, all exist in the underlying code, while acquired creations are more like various software.

The innate magic weapon has the authority of the underlying code. When it is running, the acquired magic weapon will naturally give way, and it even consumes less system resources.

But on the other hand, there is no fixed distinction between strong and weak codes and software with different functions. Sometimes even a small virus software can destroy the entire system.

"So, transforming from acquired to innate... means allowing the magic weapon to integrate into the way of heaven?"

Nuwa nodded, a green light appeared on her palm, and an ancient bronze tripod appeared in the void. It was the Qiankun Tripod.

"My tripod!"

Hearing the Gu God's exclamation, even Bai Lian couldn't help but glance sideways: "Is this tripod in Daoist Fellow's hands?"

Taoist Zaohua seemed to have thought of something: "I have seen this tripod in the hands of Taoist Gu Shen."

The others were extremely envious - they certainly didn't understand what this tripod was, but it was a relic of the goddess Nuwa, so how bad could it be?

Nuwa said to Zheng Fa, "The Qiankun Ding's so-called return to the innate nature through acquired nature is to use prayers to the heavens to allow the magic weapon to merge with the way of heaven."

According to Zheng Fa's understanding, it means granting it a higher level of authority, even the ability to write to the underlying code.

"To create humans this time, we need the help of the Qiankun Cauldron."

Having said that, Zheng Fa finally understood why Nuwa said that she had answered his question before telling him how to use the Qiankun Ding.

As long as he participated in the creation of human beings, he could see Nuwa demonstrate in person and learn how to use the Qiankun Ding.

Zaohua and the others were even more jealous after hearing this. The Golden-winged Dapeng looked unhappy and had been silent the whole time. Now they all said, "So fellow Daoist, you have such a treasure!"

When he thought about the fact that his path to enlightenment was now cut off, the jealousy in his heart grew even more intense, and his expression when he looked at the Gu God was somewhat ferocious.

The others had even more strange expressions, they were jealous and covetous at the same time.

But the Gu God was not proud at all, and even looked a little desperate.

She said with a sad face: "It's lost."

When Taoist Zaohua heard this, his eyes widened: "What's lost?"

"This tripod is lost, the Qiankun Tripod is lost."

The Gu God looked eagerly at the tripod in Nuwa's hand and said, "It was taken away by the Jiushan Sect."

Her voice was extremely mournful and heartbreaking, but Zaohua and the others all felt sympathetic - if they were Gu gods, they would rather not know what this precious tripod was.

Even the Golden-winged Dapeng was stunned. After a moment, a trace of pity seemed to emerge from him as a fellow wanderer. He actually learned to comfort others. He stammered to the Gu God, "Please accept my condolences."

…

The Qiankun Ding slowly fell down along a parabola from in front of everyone, and finally stood in a valley. Zheng Fa and others also fell to the ground.

Nuwa spread out her palms, and a ball of yellow earth flew out from her palms.

There is no spiritual energy on this loess.

She asked Zheng Fa, "Do you know why I created humans from yellow earth?"

"cost."

Nuwa nodded gently and smiled, "Only by deriving from the most ordinary loess can the human race obtain the most nourishment from heaven and earth."

Zheng Fa felt inexplicably moved after hearing this.

What kind of soil did Nuwa use to create humans? In order to make the human race appear more noble, many novels would say it was five-colored soil or even the Nine Heavens Xirang.

But many ancient books, even the ones Zheng Fa has seen today, use the most common loess.

This is also consistent with Zheng Fa's own understanding:

All elements in the human body can be found in nature.

On the other hand, in Zheng Fa's view, the key is not where people come from, but where they go.

At least in his heart, being born from mud is no less inferior than being born from fertile soil.

Nuwa has started playing with mud.

She exerted force with her fingers and pinched off a lump of mud. A wind blew up from the valley, and the wind, like a chisel, carved out the outline of a man, followed by his facial features, hair, and eyelashes.

After the seven holes are carved out, the wind flows into the clay figure through the seven holes, as if carving its internal structure.

Nuwa was having a lot of fun, while Zheng Fa and others were waiting by the side, very patiently.

Soon, Nuwa molded out thousands of small clay figures, both male and female, mostly young and middle-aged.

Nuwa is still very gentle at heart - this era is indeed not suitable for the elderly and children to survive.

Thousands of small clay figures stood in front of the Qiankun Cauldron. Nuwa, the goddess, seemed to have had enough fun. She clapped her hands, stood up, and looked serious.

She pointed at the Qiankun Cauldron, and a ball of golden flame ignited between the legs of the cauldron.

She took out various spiritual materials and threw them into the cauldron. While throwing, she explained to Zheng Fa what these were.

This is the thing in the inscription on the Qiankun Ding that people from Jiushan Sect and others don’t understand.

Zheng Fa listened carefully and watched carefully, trying to remember every detail for future use in refining the Zhu Xian Sword Formation.

The Qiankun Ding was in chaos, with smoke curling upwards, connecting the Qiankun Ding and the sky.

Nuwa was originally wearing a green outer skirt and dressed simply, as if she was meeting with old friends.

At this time, he was wearing a red dress and a golden crown, looking graceful and solemn.

She stretched her hands upwards, as if praying to the distant sky:

"Ever since the war between the wizards and the lich, violent energies have surged to the heavens, calamity clouds have obscured the sun, and all living things in the prehistoric world have been trapped in water and fire. I have received the guidance of the Taoist ancestor Hongjun, and have realized the shortcomings of the Three Elements. Now, with the loess earth as my body and the azure sky as my witness, I will enable this new race to become the carrier of the Great Dao."

As she chanted, the gray-white chaotic energy of the Qiankun Ding suddenly exploded.

Zheng Fa seemed to see the scene of the beginning of the world again. At the same time, bursts of low rumbling sounds came from the sky, as if in response.

Taoist Zaohua exclaimed, "Is this actually the scene of the origin of the human race?"

"So this powerful being... is the Holy Mother of the human race?"

Even the Gu God, who didn't consider himself a human being, looked at Nuwa with some admiration.

Among them, except for the Golden-Winged Dapeng who was not of human origin, the rest were all practitioners of the human race. How could they not have admiration for Nuwa, the Holy Mother of the human race?

While looking at the little clay figures, his eyes were also particularly kind.

The clay figures also changed.

The chaos in the Qiankun Cauldron exploded, the clear air rose up, the turbid air sank down, and came out from the body of the cauldron, gradually covering these little people, and the valley seemed to have become another small world.

In this scene of the birth of the world, these originally lifeless clay sculptures gradually became lively.

Like newborn babies, they waved their arms curiously and slowly, opened their mouths and made babbling sounds.

The small world created by the Qiankun Ding slowly expanded.

The size of this group of new humans gradually grew and eventually became the size of normal humans. They looked no different from later humans.

Zheng Fa finally understood.

The main reason why the Qiankun Ding can restore magic weapons to their innate state is that it can temporarily open up a space where the heaven and earth were first born, allowing various magic weapons to have an "innate" identity.

When the space created by the Qiankun Ding merged into the heaven and earth, those magic weapons naturally merged into the way of heaven.

The voice of Nuwa sounded in his ears:

"This tribe is called Human."

Although those newly born humans could not even speak clearly, they were all blessed at this moment. They knelt in front of Nuwa and kowtowed continuously.

"I wish that the yin and yang of the human race will be harmonious, and that the bloodline will be passed down."

"Secondly, I wish that the human race will put an end to their disputes and bring peace and clarity to the world."

"My third wish is that the wisdom of the human race will not be extinguished, and the flame of the Heavenly Dao will be continued."

After three great wishes, the sky suddenly brightened.

The golden light in the sky was about to condense into liquid, surging towards Nuwa.

The aura of Nuwa rose steadily, like the distant sky, making people feel insignificant at first glance.

Taishang and the others all bowed towards Nuwa, saying, "Congratulations, Junior Sister, on achieving enlightenment."

Nuwa returned the greeting to the Five Saints and said, "Junior sister is only one step ahead, and the sainthood of you brothers is not far away."

She looked at the human beings kneeling on the ground, thought for a moment, and then bowed to the Five Saints:

"Today, the saints Taishang, Yuanshi, Tongtian, Zhunti, and Jieyin have come to witness this grand event. I sincerely pray that all the saints will bless the human race.

Heaven and earth bear witness, and humanity will flourish forever."

The Supreme Lord's face was solemn. He brought several of his disciples and returned the greeting to Nuwa, saying, "Heaven and earth bear witness together, and humanity will prosper forever."

Even Bai Lian and others, who had other purposes at the beginning, followed them and saluted Nuwa.

But Nuwa raised her head again, turned around, and bowed solemnly to Zheng Fa who was standing beside her.

Bai Lian and others were stunned.

Nuwa said, "From now on, I'll leave everything to you, Daoist friend."

The other five saint statues had expected this and all bowed to Zheng Fa.

Zheng Fa's heart was filled with excitement. He pursed his lips and returned the greetings to the Six Saints one by one.

Bai Lian looked at his ancestor bowing solemnly to Zheng Fa, his mouth open, not knowing what to say.

Even the Taoist Master Zaohua had a somewhat numb expression, and was confused.

Not to mention that Bai Lian has two ancestors, let’s just say that Nuwa now calls Shi Nan a fellow Taoist.

Nuwa is not only the Holy Mother of the human race, but her current cultivation level is so high that they dare not look directly at her. She is called Fellow Daoist Zheng Fa, so what generation is Shi Nan?

What should they be called?

…

Nuwa raised her head and gently drew a line on the sea of ​​merit in the sky, and a small piece of merit fell towards Zheng Fa.

Zheng Fa looked up and heard the voice of Nuwa:

"The Three Talents are complete. If I don't attain the Dao Fruition, when will I?"

Zheng Fafu was inspired and jumped up.
