Chapter 64 Nuwa Cries
The Way to Sanctification
Tongtian was brought by Taiyi to his own Donghuang Palace. As the second-in-command of the demon clan, Donghuang Palace was also extremely luxurious, but it was deserted and there were few living creatures, which made it feel a bit cold.
Throwing the person away, Taiyi, as Di Jun's younger brother, spoke very bluntly, saying to Tongtian: "You will stay here today and you can't go anywhere!"
Tongtian looked at his friend who was acting like he was having a seizure, chuckled, and jokingly said, "What? You want to fight?"
Taiyi lowered his eyes upon hearing this, his tone bitter, "You are a saint now, and I cannot defeat you."
Tongtian uttered a "tsk" and raised his eyes: "What on earth happened?"
Taiyi was stunned and didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Tongtian shook his head and said proudly: "A saint knows everything about heaven and earth. Do you think you can hide it from me?"
He didn't even need to count on his fingers to calculate the secrets of heaven. With just a thought, he knew the past and the future, the cause and effect of things, and saw Kong Shuang scolding Di Jun.
Kong Shuang scolded Di Jun for him. He looked at Tai Yi and felt a little sorry for him. "You don't want me to know the Demon King's actions?"
Taiyi was stunned for a moment, then turned away embarrassedly, "You're such a shy person. If my brother had asked me personally, you might have agreed."
Tongtian's expression grew slightly more subtle. After knowing each other for millions of years, he had no idea that his friend had the impression of being thin-skinned. After a long pause, he said, "You're overthinking it."
Taiyi felt even more embarrassed after hearing this. He despised his brother's scheming behavior, but he couldn't stop it, so he could only take Tongtian away by force. Now that the real owner knew about it, he felt a burning sensation on his face.
After all, they were friends for a million years, so Tongtian saw through his thoughts at a glance and said, "Although it's not necessary, thank you very much."
Taiyi frowned unconsciously and turned around to glare at him. He couldn't tell whether this was a nice remark or sarcasm.
He felt a little annoyed, and after a while he replied, "Fellow Daoist Kong Shuang certainly doesn't know what you are like."
Tongtian couldn't help laughing when he thought of the scene where Kong Shuang confronted Di Jun for him.
Taiyi looked at him in confusion, and the two fell into silence.
On the other side, Di Jun was speechless, his face gradually turning blue, and he stared at Kong Shuang in disbelief: "You...you actually..."
He has been the Demon King for so many years, and everyone treats him with respect. Even before he became the Demon King, he was able to act arrogantly in the prehistoric world, and he only suffered some losses in the West.
Even Zhunti Jieyin didn’t scold Kong Shuang as harshly as he did!
What's more, Kong Shuang's words hit the nail on the head, revealing his hidden thoughts at once, which were exactly the same as what his brother Taiyi had scolded him for.
The original candidate to invite Tongtian to the Heavenly Palace to build the great formation was not Kong Shuang, but Taiyi!
He knew very well that Tongtian would be embarrassed to do so given the friendship between his brother and Shangqing that had lasted for millions of years, but his brother resolutely refused and pointed out that bullying a saint who was not subject to cause and effect was immoral.
He knew that his brother was stubborn and could not change his mind once he made it, so he had no choice but to follow Kong Shuang's path.
It’s fine if his younger brother scolds him, but who are you, Kong Shuang!
Seeing him glaring at her, Kong Shuang became even more unhappy. "Your Majesty the Demon King, I'm not your subject. You don't have to look at me like that. I'm only saying this for Sister Xihe's sake. I have to advise you. You're not just yourself. You also have a wife, brothers, and the people of your demon clan. If you want to die, don't take them with you."
Di Jun was furious, and the power of the sun's true fire unconsciously emanated from his body. The demons entering and leaving were burned one after another and fell to the ground wailing.
Kong Shuang didn't care. With her level of cultivation, the power of the sun's true fire didn't have much effect on her. If Di Jun wanted to attack her, she wasn't afraid. She couldn't beat the saint Zhunti Jieyin, so she was afraid that she couldn't beat the little Di Jun!
Di Jun stared at the thin and frail figure in front of him, and saw that she was still relaxed and composed.
He used the true fire of the sun to dominate the ancient world and burned many lives to death. For a moment, he also wanted to burn Kong Shuang to death, but the remaining rationality in his heart always reminded him that the forces behind Kong Shuang were complicated and it would be very troublesome to kill her.
In the end, Di Jun turned away, and the demons who were suffering from the burning of the sun's true fire breathed a sigh of relief.
Chang Xi brought Nuwa in at this time. He did not see Di Jun leave in anger, but saw the mess in the hall. He casually called a servant to ask.
Kong Shuang was still here, so the servant didn't dare to say anything and could only hesitantly reply.
At this moment, Xihe's maid ran over in a hurry and reported to Chang Xi: "The Queen Mother is not feeling well again. Queen Chang Xi, please go and see her immediately!"
Chang Xi hurriedly said goodbye to Kong Shuang, Nuwa and the others. Kong Shuang pondered for a moment and pulled her back: "Sister Xihe's constitution is yin, why don't you ask Sister Xihe to return to Taiyin Star to recuperate."
If she guessed correctly, there should be twelve jade rabbits in Xihe's belly this time. It would be good for them to be born on the Moon.
As soon as Chang Xi left, Kong Shuang's gaze involuntarily fell on Nuwa, and doubts arose in his heart.
It is said that when Nuwa was in the West, she saved Di Jun's face with the help of Zhunti and maintained her status in the demon clan. Now she should be in high spirits, but Nuwa looks more haggard than the last time she saw her in Kunlun Mountain.
Noticing Kong Shuang's worried look, Nuwa's eyes couldn't help but turn red.
The beautiful lady's face was lonely, and now her tears were about to fall, which made me feel even more pitiful. Kong Shuang couldn't bear to see the beauty sad, so he supported Nuwa and said, "Daoyou, what's wrong with you?"
Nuwa suppressed her sorrow and pulled Kong Shuang outside the palace, to a place where no one would disturb her. Then she leaned on Kong Shuang's shoulder and shed silent tears.
Kong Shuang didn't know what had happened, so he could only pat her shoulder and comfort her silently. He thought to himself, it's a good thing Chang Xi went to take care of Xihe. If he saw this scene, he would be jealous again...
After an unknown amount of time, Nuwa wiped her tears and raised her head: "Fellow Daoist Kong Shuang, only you can help me..."
After saying this, his eyes became red again and he was about to cry.
Kong Shuang quickly wiped her tears. She was heartbroken to see a saint crying like this. She patted her chest and said, "You said I would help you if I could."
Nuwa finally smiled, then sniffed, "I'd like to know if you've noticed anything unusual about my three brothers since they became saints in Kunlun Mountain?"
After hearing this, Kong Shuang took a half step back, and there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes as he looked at Nuwa.
It was true that she was distracted by Nuwa's crying just now, but that didn't mean that she was really bewitched by Nuwa.
Nuwa noticed the subtle changes in Kong Shuang and gave a bitter smile. She could only grit her teeth and tell him the real reason: "To be honest, since becoming a saint, I have indeed gained supreme and tremendous magical power, but later when I used it, I always felt that I was unable to use it and could not control it all. I wonder how my three brothers are doing?"
Kong Shuang's expression instantly became solemn, and she subconsciously thought of the great merits of becoming a saint that Tongtian had told her after Nuwa became a saint.
Nuwa continued, "When I first discovered this problem, I thought it was because the suffering of the human race had affected my luck. But now, under the secret protection of fellow Taoists, the human race has solved the problem, but my situation has not improved."
Kong Shuang understood Nuwa's feelings very well. In the past, apart from Hongjun who was unable to leave the Zixiao Palace, she was the only saint in the prehistoric world. Even though there were some problems with her magic power, she was still one of the most powerful people in the prehistoric world.
Now, with the Three Pure Ones and the two Westerners becoming saints one after another, we must be anxious.
Kong Shuang naturally wouldn't say that there was something wrong with becoming a saint with great merit, so he could only say, "In that case, I'll ask Tongtian for you."
Nuwa quickly waved her hand and held her back: "Don't do that. This matter is obscure. Please keep it secret for me."
Kong Shuang did not nod, and an even more anxious look appeared on her face. She was now a person who possessed the Hongmeng Purple Qi, so naturally she also had to consider her own sainthood.
Becoming a saint through great merit is problematic and is the most undesirable method. As for becoming a saint by slaying the three corpses, considering her current level of cultivation, she still cannot slay a single corpse. It seems that either there is something wrong with her or she does not have the talent to slay the three corpses, so this method is also unreliable.
Then there is only one last way to become a saint - to prove the truth with force!
This is the most difficult method. So far, no one has succeeded except Pangu Dad.
Moreover, Pangu's father finally transformed himself into the ancient world, which looked a bit scary.
Thinking of this, Kong Shuang suddenly felt that his path to becoming a saint was full of ups and downs.
It seemed that Kong Shuang was more worried and anxious than herself. Nuwa was very moved. She didn't expect that Kong Shuang cared about her so much. She felt warm in her heart. She must be a good friend of Kong Shuang for life.
She excitedly grabbed Kong Shuang's hand: "Fellow Daoist Kong Shuang, it's great to have you..."
Kong Shuang also held her hand in return: "It is my great honor to have such a sincere friend..."
Before he finished speaking, two figures appeared in front of them.
Tongtian was on the left, with a smile still on his gentle face. He looked no different from usual. He even happily stretched out his hand to Kong Shuang and said, "Come here."
Kong Shuang thought to herself that something was wrong. She was just wondering if Chang Xi would be jealous when he saw her carefully comforting Nuwa, but how could she have forgotten the person who was really jealous? After knowing each other for so many years, she could already accurately tell whether Tongtian was really happy or was harboring evil intentions.
She let go of Nuwa, put her hand into Tongtian's palm, looked up and grinned at her, a well-behaved smile blooming on her face.
Tongtian then grinned, revealing two small white fangs.
This means he is still unhappy. Kong Shuang quickly hugged his arm and acted as if he would never let go.
Taiyi on the side looked at the scene and smiled bitterly. Earlier in the East Palace, they were chatting happily, but Tongtian suddenly wanted to go out. He thought something had happened, and then he saw two female cultivators hugging each other.
He didn't think it was a big deal. He could see Chang Xi holding his sister-in-law tightly every day. There was nothing wrong with Fellow Daoist Kong Shuang getting closer to Nuwa, but Tongtian was unhappy.
He originally wanted to give some advice: Don't be jealous all the time, otherwise Fellow Daoist Kong Shuang will dislike you, but now he realized that he was just worrying too much.
Fellow Daoist Kong Shuang was the one who was being held firmly in the grasp.
He really shouldn't be worrying about things that aren't happening!
In front of Nuwa, Tongtian didn't want to show any jealousy, so he just nodded to Taiyi and said, "Goodbye."
After saying that, he pulled Kong Shuang away.
Nuwa curled her lips. Fellow Daoist Kong Shuang was such a good person that she wanted to snatch him away.
