Chapter 143 Nuwa's Heaven, Nuwa Severs Her Saintly Position
On the altar in front of the mourning hall were some offerings, dishes and fruits, but nothing special.
What's astonishing is that the pair of boys and girls at the Shouyang Mountain Taoist temple had shockingly pale blue heads and wide-open eyes.
Nuwa stroked the coffin, looked at the man lying there, smiled, and said, "I can't beat my two senior brothers. Once I can, I'll give you their heads to enjoy."
These quiet words, whispered in hushed tones, caused the maids kneeling on the ground, feigning tears, to fall silent.
A gust of wind swept by, causing the white banners in front of the Nuwa Palace to flutter loudly.
The wind hasn't stopped.
Suddenly, a mournful gust of wind swept in...
The two incense sticks on the offering table flickered, and wax dripped down.
At this moment, two figures, one tall and one short, appeared out of thin air at the entrance of Nuwa Palace. The two looked into the hall, letting the cold wind pierce their lungs like knives.
"thump!"
Jieyin held Yuanshi's head in his hands, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed heavily.
"Brother, I'm late!"
"You promised to bring prosperity to the Western lands, and you truly did it in the past."
"It is my honor to have you as my elder brother in this life!"
A hoarse voice came from the insulator. He looked up, his sleeves damp.
"I originally intended to bring them before your spirit tablet and then kill these two."
"But my brother simply doesn't have the ability to control himself."
With red eyes, Jieyin finished speaking and nearly fainted.
Looking at the coffin in the main hall, Zhunti dared not step over the threshold and said, "Brother, this unfamiliar place is not suitable for long-term stay, but the wind on Mount Sumeru is very warm."
Reeking of alcohol, he staggered into Nuwa's Palace, carrying the head of Laozi, and, seeing the maids wailing and pretending to cry, said, "He was just sleepy! What are you wretched women doing, making such a racket?"
The beautiful maids wiped their eyes, but there was no moisture in them. They could only silently get up and leave.
Zhunti stood before the coffin and said calmly, "I used to want to be the leader, but now that you're gone, my second brother is no match for me. In the Western Sect, who can subdue me?"
The person in the coffin did not give any reply.
Zhunti laughed and said, "I hope to hear you say it again, elder brother. It doesn't matter, you'll take action!"
After he finished speaking, he looked emotional, and scenes from the past flashed through his mind.
But after a long silence, looking at the familiar figure again, still with eyes closed, Zhunti cried out in distress, pounding the coffin with both hands, "Take me with you! Take me with you! Please!"
Jieyin, looking haggard, stepped forward, pulled the frantic Zhunti along, and said, "Third brother, eldest brother is very tired, don't make a fuss."
At this moment, Xihe and Changxi arrived and, before the coffin, solemnly kowtowed three times and nine times to the person inside.
"I can never repay the kindness of your teachings."
"But my fellow Daoist has passed away, and my sister Changxi and I have not even had the chance to repay him."
Xihe's eyes were filled with remorse.
"I only regret that I wasn't decisive enough back then. I should have attacked Hongjun and his two disciples together with my sister Changxi."
As soon as she finished speaking...
Changxi said, "Now my sister and I understand. Fellow Daoist taught us the Taiyin Dao Heart Sutra and four top-grade innate spiritual treasures. Such kindness is something we should repay, even if it's like moths flying into a flame."
She kowtowed deeply once more.
"We will do our best to persuade those who have a past with you to join us and storm the Purple Cloud Palace!"
Changxi said solemnly, "Better to be a shattered jade than a whole tile!"
"Well said!" Nuwa turned to the two women and praised them, "My boyfriend is truly wonderful to you both. If we encounter oppression, we should fight to the very end!"
As a sage of the Heavenly Dao, when she uttered these words, it already signified that she was severing ties with Hongjun.
At this moment, Nuwa's voice proclaimed to the primordial world, saying, "I, Nuwa, willingly relinquish my saintly position and will henceforth cease to be a Heavenly Saint. May Heaven bear witness to this!"
The words fell.
The myriad races of the primordial world were stunned.
Nuwa was the second person to become a saint, second only to Hongjun!
"Is...is this real?"
"The position of Heavenly Saint, you can just give it up like that?"
"Has this world gone mad?"
"You know, everyone who wants to become a saint is desperate, how could she sever her own sainthood..."
"Alas, our saintly woman has fallen into the trap of love."
"Oh?"
"Can't you see that she has long been deeply in love with Ling Xiao?"
"If it weren't for him, why would she have broken with the Dao Ancestor and now relinquished her sainthood..."
"But Ling Xiao is already dead. What's the point of her doing this?"
"I also feel that it doesn't mean anything, but from now on, she is the only goddess in my heart."
"..."
The beings of the primordial world had many feelings.
The resurrected Taiqing Laozi and Yuanshi, as well as Tongtian on Jin'ao Island and many other deities, were also awestruck by Nuwa.
Inside the Purple Cloud Palace, Hongjun was stunned into silence. He never imagined that a Heavenly Saint would give up his Sainthood for the sake of a dead person.
After the initial shock, an endless rage welled up within me.
Alright, alright, so this master-disciple relationship can't compare to your little romantic love, can it?
Nuwa's apprentice is truly a beautiful but frivolous little cotton-padded jacket!
It's great except for not keeping you warm.
Hmph, you don't want to be a saint? I'll make you one!
You want to break ties with me, right?
Then I'll bear the name of "deceiving my teacher"!
You will be cursed by billions of people!
Meanwhile, deep within the void of Heaven, Heaven had not yet responded to Nuwa.
In other words, she is still a Heavenly Saint, and it doesn't mean that she can simply announce it and call it even.
The Heavenly Dao and Hongjun will not let her off so easily.
The sages chosen by Heaven bear the weight of cause and effect and responsibility; how can they be treated so lightly?
In front of the Nuwa Palace.
Nuwa sensed that the power of a Heavenly Saint at the fourth level was still present, and a wisp of her primordial spirit was still in the void of the Heavenly Dao.
The next moment, she sent all the magical treasures that Hongjun had bestowed upon her to the front of the Chaos Purple Cloud Palace.
Above her head, a wisp of primordial purple energy flew out.
The Primordial Purple Qi that was originally within his primordial spirit was now extracted, causing his cultivation level to plummet, rapidly dropping to the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm.
A mouthful of blood spilled onto the ground.
Nuwa's face was deathly pale, and a trace of crimson hung at the corner of her mouth. She knelt on the ground and bowed three times in the direction of Zixiao Palace.
"This is the last time I will call you Master."
"You killed the person I loved, but how can you even begin to measure the weight of that love?"
Nuwa looked up at the chaos beyond the realm and said, "Only by storming the Purple Cloud Palace and shattering the three-foot Dao Platform can this affection be truly expressed; it is by no means cheap!"
Her voice resounded throughout the myriad races of the primordial world, until it reached Hongjun's ears.
On the Daoist platform of Zixiao Palace, Hongjun sat cross-legged, a mocking expression on his face, and said, "Good disciple, what if you go and never return?"
Nuwa smiled brightly and said, "Then I will go and never return."
Nuwa looked down at the Heavenly Court, which was hundreds of millions of miles away, and held the Demon Emperor's token in her hand. She said loudly, "Everyone, the great power is about to collapse. Those who are willing to overthrow the heavens, please rise."
