Di Jun pondered for a moment, then nodded to Donghuang. Donghuang then put away the Donghuang Bell. Kunpeng also sighed inwardly, "That was close!"
Di Jun said to Kunpeng, "The Demon Master is indeed a wise man of our demon race. With a wise man like the Demon Master, how can our demon race not unify the world? Issue an order: from this day forward, the Demon Master shall supervise the construction of the Zhou Tian Star Banner. No one else shall disturb him. Demon Master, if this formation is successful, your contribution will be immense. The future of our demon race depends entirely on you."
Kunpeng feigned fear and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty is too kind. As a member of the demon race, I should dedicate myself to the great cause of my demon race until my dying breath. Moreover, my ability to comprehend this formation is entirely due to the blessings of Your Majesty and the Eastern Emperor. Without Your Majesty's Hetu and Luoshu, I would not have been able to comprehend this formation even after countless eons. I was merely fulfilling my duty."
"In that case, Demon Master, go quickly. I will have my men fully support your work," Di Jun said to Kunpeng with a smile.
Kunpeng knew that this was ostensibly a flag-forging operation, but in reality, he was being held under house arrest. However, he had at least survived. Lacking sufficient strength, he could only sigh inwardly.
After Kunpeng descended, Dijun ordered Shangyang to select a demon god loyal to the Heavenly Court to practice the formation left by Kunpeng day and night, hoping to master the formation as soon as possible so that it could be used to exert its strength in the future war between the Lich King and the Demon King.
Nuwa created humans and became a saint.
Furthermore, after leaving Zixiao Palace, Xuantian returned to Penglai Island for seclusion. Recently, he emerged from seclusion, but for some reason, he still couldn't sever his own power, and his cultivation could no longer improve. This seclusion yielded very little; he only refined his magical power and tempered his physical body.
On this day, Xuan Tian was preaching to the beings of the three islands in the main hall when he suddenly felt something was about to happen that was related to him. He tried to calculate it with his fingers, but he had no clue what it was. This startled Xuan Tian. Now that Xuan Tian's cultivation was becoming more and more profound, there were only a few people in the prehistoric world who could compare to him, yet there were still things that he could not calculate. How could Xuan Tian not be surprised?
Xuan Tian waved his hand and said, "That's all for today. We'll continue tomorrow."
The crowd below was listening intently, when they suddenly heard Xuan Tian stop lecturing. They all felt very sorry. In recent days, as Xuan Tian's teachings deepened, the cultivation levels of the people on the island gradually increased. Nearly a hundred people had obtained the Taiyi Dao Fruit, and Zhu Ling, Shi Zhong, and the four spirits had obtained the Daluo Sanxian realm. Everyone was grateful for Xuan Tian's kindness and offered him incense continuously.
After calculating for a long time without any results, Xuan Tian was very puzzled. So he decided to go to that prehistoric world to see if he could find any opportunities. He told Zhu Ling Shi Zhong that he would be going out soon and asked everyone on the island to cultivate on their own. He was to guard the mountain gate and not leave the island.
Xuan Tian arrived in the primordial world and found it unusually peaceful. He wondered if the Wu and Yao races had reconciled. However, this was none of his business. He had come to seek opportunities and traveled aimlessly, collecting the spiritual roots and materials he saw along the way into his gourd.
One day, Xuan Tian came to the vicinity of Buzhou Mountain. He was collecting materials for refining weapons as he went up the mountain when he suddenly saw Nuwa kneading mud on Buzhou Mountain. The scene amused Xuan Tian.
Nuwa, with her dignified and solemn appearance and palace attire, was actually kneading clay, which made Xuan Tian laugh.
Nuwa, seeing Xuantian arrive, awkwardly stood up and said, "Nuwa greets Senior Brother Xuantian. I apologize for making you laugh at me like this."
Xuan Tian bowed and said, "It's alright. Junior Sister Nuwa still has a childlike heart; that's just her true nature."
Nuwa cleaned the mud off her hands and asked Xuantian, "Fellow Daoist, what brings you here?"
"Oh, I had a feeling some time ago that something big was about to happen and that it was related to me, so I came to the prehistoric world to look for some opportunities, but so far I have not found anything. Today I just happened to be strolling around here and I didn't expect to meet my junior sister...hehe."
Nuwa blushed when she saw Xuantian's smiling face and said, "Senior brother, please don't laugh at me anymore. When the Dao Ancestor bestowed upon me the opportunity to attain the Dao, I was too dull to comprehend the great Dao opportunity within. Some time ago, I unintentionally felt that I was related to this soil, but I don't know the specifics of what happened."
"Oh! Uh... judging by the days, it should be time for Nuwa to create humans. I've been in this primordial world for hundreds of eons now. Finally, it's time for my kind to come. From now on, this primordial world will be the world of humans." Thinking of this, Xuantian said to Nuwa, "Fellow Daoist, do you want to use that clay to create some living beings? There are so many species in this primordial world, why bother creating them yourself? Can't you just pick one you like?"
“Indeed, I observe that the witch and demon races are mostly beastly in nature, cruel and bloodthirsty. Although Nuwa is a demon, she also dislikes many of the demons’ behavior. This time, I intend to create some creatures, but after creating them for a long time, some of them are spiritual beings, all of which are acquired spiritual seeds and are not very satisfactory to me,” Nuwa sighed.
"Oh? Let me take a look." Xuan Tian pretended not to notice and looked at the pile of Nuwa's failed creations, all of which looked strange. Xuan Tian sighed inwardly, "Nuwa's sculpting skills are probably terrible. No wonder it took humans a long time to evolve back then. I'm afraid a group of people were sculpted into monster-like shapes by Nuwa. I still need to teach her a lesson." After thinking for a moment, he said, "Junior sister, come and see how my skills are?"
Having said that, he rolled up his sleeves and kneaded the clay and water with his hands, carefully removing the larger particles until the entire lump of clay became very uniform. He said to Nuwa, "Junior sister, kneading clay requires meticulousness. You need to remove the large particles in the middle to make the clay uniform, so that the finished product will be flawless. The water content also needs to be controlled well, seven parts clay and three parts water, so that the clay is neither too dry nor too soft. Also, look, like this... like this..." Xuantian kneaded while telling Nuwa how to make it look better. Nuwa listened with great interest, her enthusiasm matching that of when she listened to Hongjun preach.
As Xuantian kneaded the clay with his hands, he talked to Nuwa. Eventually, Nuwa couldn't resist and, like Xuantian, rolled up her sleeves, revealing her snow-white, lotus-root-like arms and the unique fragrance of a maiden on her skin. Xuantian was stunned by the sight. Fortunately, Nuwa didn't notice, otherwise, it would have been embarrassing.
