Legend has it that when the world was first created, a great calamity occurred in the upper realm.
Just as the pillar of heaven was about to collapse, the sky was torn open, and the goddess Nuwa filled the hole with a magical stone.
Afterwards, five more pillars were built, and the world was finally restored to stability.
The origin of the Nuwa Stone in Master Qi's hand is unknown.
At this point, no one had the mind to think about the origin of the Nuwa Stone.
When everyone heard Qi Wenyao say he had found the Nuwa Stone, only one thought crossed their minds—
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and put the Nuwa Stone in!"
"At this critical juncture, what are you still hesitating for? Do you intend to watch everyone die in this calamity?"
"Enough! If you say another word, I'll kill you all!"
Only when Yu Ye shouted did everyone stop urging them on.
But everyone's eyes were on Qi Wenyao. They couldn't urge him with words, but surely they could use their eyes?
Qi Wenyao also had some headaches when he found the Nuwa Stone.
He looked up from his Sumeru Ring and glanced at everyone around him. Seeing the expectant looks in their eyes, he took a deep breath and said softly, "Alright."
"Since you want it, then..."
With a wave of his hand, everyone heard a loud 'boom' behind them.
When everyone looked in the direction of the loud noise, they were startled by the mountain-like rock behind them.
Yu Ye's eyes twitched slightly when he saw Qi Wenyao casually pull out a mountain of spirit stones. "Fellow Daoist Qi, what is this?"
Qi Wenyao raised his hand and touched his nose. "I only remember my dad having a Nuwa Stone, but I don't recall this stone being this big..."
Even Master Qi was stunned when he saw the Nuwa Stone. "It's been so long, I almost forgot that the Nuwa Stone is actually a very large spirit stone."
"How are we going to fit such a huge spirit stone into the Heavenly Pillar?!"
"Is Heaven going to destroy us?"
"What are we waiting for? Are we really just going to stand here and wait to die? Let's hurry up and cultivate, and let each of us ascend as far as we can!"
......
The scene was rife with controversy.
Yan Qingqing withdrew her gaze from the Nuwa Stone. Seeing the increasingly agitated crowd, she darkened her expression and said, "What are you yelling about?!"
"Didn't I just say that we need to inject spiritual power into the Heavenly Pillar?"
"If you don't want to use your own spiritual power, here comes other spiritual power, doesn't it?"
Everyone looked at the Nuwa Stone again in the direction she was pointing, and their expressions stiffened.
"Whose woman is this, coming here to make a scene?"
"Hey you, get your woman away right now. The Nuwa Stone is a spiritual stone, but transferring its spiritual energy into the Heavenly Pillar is no joke."
"Exactly, and besides, you only need to talk, why don't you take the lead? Moreover, with the spiritual energy of the Heavenly Pillar pouring out, what's the use of injecting more spiritual power? In the end, it will all be used up."
The rebuttals from the crowd reached Yan Qingqing and her companions' ears.
Master Qi was a kind-hearted man, and being a businessman, he always prioritized making money through harmony.
Now he keeps hearing these arrogant cultivators talking back to his wife.
A hint of ferocity suddenly appeared on his usually docile face.
It was Yan Qingqing, who was standing next to him, who noticed that something was wrong with him and raised her hand to stop him.
Yan Qingqing shook her head at her husband and looked up at the group of cultivators who were refuting her.
He raised the divine bow again, and the white arrow, with the force of piercing the air, shot straight into the man's heart.
Seeing the other person's eyes widen and their face filled with shock before they collapsed, she frowned and spoke loudly to the crowd.
"Gentlemen, as I just said, if you don't want to stay, you can turn around and leave, instead of standing here making sarcastic remarks without understanding the situation."
"If the Heavenly Pillar is saved in the future, and you wish to avenge your fellow disciples, I, Yan Qingqing, will be waiting for you at the Qi family in the Northern Region."
"Now, anyone who wants to continue making sarcastic remarks, please get lost as soon as possible."
Yan Qingqing looked at everyone below with a cold smile.
When a sect member, angered by Yan Qingqing's arrogant demeanor, attempted to attack her, he was stopped by his fellow disciples.
Yan Qingqing possessed a magical artifact, and the man standing beside her also had an unfathomable air about him.
And her son, who can easily pull out the Nuwa Stone.
Plus, she calls herself Yan Qingqing, and she's the Yan Qingqing from the Qi family in the Northern Region...
On the mainland, any cultivator with some experience and a slightly older age knows what the name 'Yan Qingqing' represents.
If Yan Qingqing wasn't boasting, then she was the same Yan Qingqing who nearly perished alongside the Creator God and the Savior God during the ancient war, all for the sake of saving all living beings.
Yan Qingqing has already said that.
If they stay here, they're just asking for trouble.
For a time, many cultivators prepared to turn around and leave Youyun City to return to their own sects.
Just as they turned to leave, a series of footsteps suddenly came from a mountaintop outside Youyun City.
As everyone looked in that direction, they saw a group of ragged, unkempt cultivators rushing towards them.
"Fellow Daoist Su, we're back!!!"
Upon seeing Ah Da and Ah Er again, Su Daiyuan couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips into a smile, "You guys..."
Ah Da turned around, looking travel-worn, and pointed to the thousands of cultivators behind him, grinning at Su Daiyuan and revealing a set of white teeth.
"Isn't this what happened after we met in the woods last time? We went to deal with the goddess statue."
"Later, on our way back, we met cultivators from other sects and learned that the Heavenly Pillar was about to collapse."
"Ah Er and I didn't know what to do, so we summoned all the mercenaries who had been working in the shop during this period."
"Although some of these brothers are just starting out, everyone wants to help out. Fortunately, we arrived not too late."
As Ah Da scratched the back of his head, a shy blush appeared on his bronze face.
He glanced around and asked Su Daiyuan, puzzled, "Where's Sheng Ning? I didn't see her last time. Where did she go?"
Upon hearing the mention of Sheng Ning, the smiles on Su Daiyuan and the others' faces immediately turned somber.
Ah Da realized he had said the wrong thing and quickly slapped his younger brother on the back of the head.
The latter winced in pain and said, "We saw the sky change when we arrived, so Tianzhu must be in bad shape."
"Since Sheng Ning is not here, Fellow Daoist Su, you are Sheng Ning's senior brother. Fellow Daoist Su, give the order."
As Ah Er finished speaking, the thousands of independent cultivators following behind Ah Da and Ah Er all spoke in unison.
"Fellow Daoist Su, please give the order!"
