Chapter 34: Chapter 34, Nuwa Expounds the Tao Fu Xi laughed heartily and said, "That would be rather arrogant to say. At the very least, I dare not provoke the Four Extreme Holy Beasts, and there are countless powerful beings in the Primordial World. Who knows if there might still be unknown powerhouses in hiding?" Bai Jin flattered and said, "It’s only arrogant if one lacks strength. Uncle Master, your words are but a show of confidence." Fu Xi smiled and said, "It’s been a long time since I’ve encountered such an interesting little fellow like you." Bai Jin asked, "Uncle Master, what should we do now?" Fu Xi replied, "There’s no need to do anything. Just find a place for quiet cultivation. Don’t bother with those little monsters and fiends; let them fend for themselves." "Yes!" Bai Jin responded. The two of them each established their own Cave Mansion, setting up concealed Arrays, and started to live in seclusion on the mountain, silently watching over the development of the Human Clan. The development of the Human Clan was rapid. In just three years, the population had expanded more than tenfold, spreading into various tribes and venerating the holy land of the valley. The long night ended and the morning began. The whole Great River Valley was filled with a joyful atmosphere. The Human Clan gathered, dancing and singing before the valley’s Divine Palace, their laughter and praise echoing through the surrounding Heaven and Earth. Inside the Divine Palace, Nuwa’s statue was enshrined, with the statues of Fu Xi and Bai Jin standing to the left and right, like protectors. Bai Jin exclaimed, "Another annual Holy Birth Day! Uncle Master, how long will we continue to watch over like this?" Fu Xi, with his hands behind his back, stood on the summit and said, "It’s almost time. The development of the Human Clan has far exceeded my expectations." "Li~" A clear phoenix cry resonated in the sky; a gorgeous Cai Feng emerged amidst a five-colored light in the sky and circled above. The millions of the Human Clan all looked up at the Cai Feng in the sky. Some were alarmed, some worshipped, while the powerful beings among the Human Clan took to the air and watched the Cai Feng in the sky warily. Cai Feng hovered in the air, and its crisp voice announced, "By the command of Nuwa Niangniang, I have come to escort Elder Fu Xi and Elder Brother Bai Jin to Nuwa Palace to receive the teachings." Fu Xi smiled and said, "It’s over, let’s go!" The two of them immediately dissolved their concealed Arrays and appeared at the top of the mountain, riding on auspicious clouds towards the sky. Countless Human Clan members knelt down, excitedly shouting, "Greetings to the Holy Envoy!" "Farewell, Holy Envoy!" ... Amidst the thundering sounds of gratitude and praises, Fu Xi, Bai Jin, and the Cai Feng disappeared into the colorful light of the sky. Within the chaotic Chaos, near the edge of the Primordial Great World, a newly opened world existed—this is Wa Emperor Heaven. Inside Wa Emperor Heaven, the scenery was picturesque with mountains and rivers, and divine birds and auspicious beasts roamed. In the center of the world stood a Divine Palace with three large characters written on the plaque—"Nuwa Palace." Inside the palace, Nuwa Niangniang sat in the main seat, with the Great Powers of the Primordial World and their disciples seated below; The Three Pure Ones sat with their disciples, including Many Treasures, Wudang Saint, Jieyin and Zhunti with Pharmacist, Mahasthamaprapta, Ksitigarbha, Taiyi, Di Jun, Devil Master, and behind Zhen Yuanzi sat two exceptionally handsome Daoist Disciples. Zhunti said with a smile, "Junior Sister, now that everyone is here, why not begin the lecture on the Saint Dao?" Nuwa replied with a smile, "A moment longer, two more have yet to arrive." Primordial asked curiously, "One should be Junior Brother Fu Xi, but who is the other?" Taishang hinted a smile, as if in thought. Suddenly, two figures entered from outside, and all present turned their heads to look. Bai Jin, frightened, stopped in his tracks. With so many Great Powers watching, his heart felt uneasy. Good heavens, with so many grand figures present, could this gathering be any more solemn? Duobao suddenly widened his eyes. How could it be this obsequious sycophant? What right did he have to make Nuwa Saint wait for him? No, that couldn’t be right. It must not be for him, but for Fu Xi. It’s just that he shamelessly tagged along with Fu Xi. Yes, definitely, that must be it. Duobao looked at Bai Jin with a hint of contempt in his eyes, believing he had brought disgrace to The Three Pure Ones. Bai Jin hurried forward, bowing deeply and said, "Greetings Master, greetings my Masters’ Senior Fellow!" Tongtian nodded and said, "I had planned to bring you here, but you were nowhere to be found. It’s also good that you’ve come on your own." Bai Jin gratefully said, "Thank you, Master!" Then he turned around to bow to everyone else in the great hall and said, "Greetings to all my Masters’ Junior Fellows!" Everyone nodded back amiably, showing a bit of a smile. This junior knew his manners well. Zhen Yuanzi whispered, "Qingfeng, Ming Yue, take a good note." Qingfeng muttered in protest, "But the other Masters’ disciples aren’t bowing either!" Ming Yue secretly patted Qingfeng, whispering, "Listen to Master." Finally, Bai Jin made a deep bow to the highest seat where Nuwa sat and said solemnly, "Greetings to the supremely virtuous and merciful, the immeasurable Nuwa Niangniang!" Nuwa smiled and said, "I have been waiting for you for a long time. Please sit down!" "Yes!" Bai Jin went to sit next to Wudang Saint. Wudang Saint passed a telepathic message full of joy, "Junior brother, have you broken through to become a Taiyi Golden Immortal?" Bai Jin telepathically replied, "By sheer luck, I was granted the opportunity for enlightenment by Wa Niangniang." Wudang Saint nodded, realizing that now was not the time for detailed questions. Nuwa Niangniang began her lecture. When Saints speak Dao, Heaven and Earth respond; flowers fall in disarray, Earth Erupting Golden Lotuses appear, all manner of the Tao’s mysterious intricacies unfolds. Everyone else listened raptly, intoxicated by the words, but Bai Jin found it confusing, as if a primary student had wandered into a university lecture— he felt it was profound, but he hadn’t understood a single word. He would have been better off listening to Fu Xi playing a tune on his zither. After a long while, Nuwa Niangniang concluded her lecture, and all the visions within the hall dissipated. All the Great Powers from Primordial World had an appearance of enlightenment as they bowed and said, "Thank you, Nuwa Saint." Nuwa nodded and then looked at Bai Jin, smiling as she asked, "Bai Jin, have you gained any insights?" Like being caught off-guard in class, Bai Jin jolted out of his reverie, immediately standing up to bow and said sheepishly, "To report to my Master’s Senior Fellow, I am dull and have gained nothing." Nuwa Niangniang looked at Bai Jin and realized, "You have not yet understood your own Tao; no wonder." Bai Jin regretfully said, "My thoughts are scattered, and I cannot seem to gain a clear understanding of my heart." Nuwa Niangniang smiled and said, "No matter. When you have understood your own Tao, come to Nuwa Palace, and I will lecture for you once more." Bai Jin gratefully said, "Thank you, Wa Niangniang!" "Sit down." Bai Jin hurriedly sat down. Duobao glanced at Bai Jin with uncertainty in his eyes. How could Nuwa Niangniang be so benevolent to him? Tongtian and Primordial showed looks of confusion. What had Bai Jin done to earn the favor of their Junior Sister Nuwa? Beside them, Zhunti looked at Bai Jin with a genial smile, thinking, ’Dear junior nephew, come visit the Western Pure Land when you have time!’ Bai Jin felt uncomfortable all over; he glanced apologetically at Zhunti and telepathically passed on, ’Your kindness is appreciated, dear Master’s Senior Fellow, but I am too busy to visit the Western Pure Land at the moment.’
