The Palace of Nuwa.
Nuwa and Deng Chanyu looked at the two golden lotus seeds in front of them.
This thing looks a bit like an orange. The golden rind can be peeled off, and the flesh inside can be eaten.
"Then let's go with the old method, one for me and one for the teacher."
Nuwa can be considered the biggest reliance for Deng Chanyu as she explores the chaotic primordial chaos! There is none other!
Merit she needs, but she must also cling to the big leg. Excessive greed can easily cause repulsion. She is currently advocating for being obedient.
Nuwa was a bit hesitant. She really doesn't lack merit, but this golden lotus seed thing is indeed something she hasn't eaten before. Her relationship with the two saints in the West isn't good enough for them to invite her to eat fruit.
For a moment, she couldn't make up her mind. She adopted the delaying tactic by maintaining her posture and said, "I can feel your filial piety, and I appreciate it. Well, let me take this golden lotus seed for now. You can keep the other one until you need it."
Deng Chanyu didn't care whether Nuwa would eat it directly or in another way. It was enough for her to express her heart.
She peeled off the outer skin of the golden lotus seed and swallowed the flesh in one go. Thinking that she had even swallowed primordial Qi, let alone the skin, she opened her mouth wide, made a "grrr" sound, and swallowed the skin along with it.
She chewed it for a bit and said, "The flesh tastes like a lychee, quite delicious. However, the skin is really bitter." Looking at Nuwa's expectant gaze, she continued, "I think I'm going to keep this one for now. You can have the other one when you need it."
She didn't feel much difference in her talent or bone structure improvement. Her basic attributes were already very high, so any improvement of a star or half a point would be barely noticeable.
The merit within the golden lotus seed was substantial, almost a third more than what she had "turned in" with the jade lute.
She silently activated the mystical "Lishan LaoMu Original Essence Sutra" and combined the merits from the jade lute, golden lotus seed, and some merits accumulated earlier. Nuwa understood her intention and with a single finger pointing at her forehead, a golden wheel of merit slowly appeared at the back of Deng Chanyu's head.
This thing isn't really very useful in battle. It's just to tell the enemy, "I am a person of merit." If you kill me, you will have to lose as much merit as there is in my golden wheel. If the merit on you is not enough to offset it, then your fortune, talent, cultivation, and lifespan will all be reduced. It's all about reductions. Just ask yourself if you're scared.
"Thank you, teacher!" Deng Chanyu said with sincerity. If it weren't for Nuwa, she would have at least been busy for two months to accumulate the merit to form the golden wheel. Now, she had managed to accomplish this in a short time.
She looked at her reflection in the mirror and admitted that having a golden wheel behind her head made her feel a bit too flashy. With a simple thought, she still decided to hide the golden wheel and reveal it only when dealing with enemies.
Deng Chanyu left the Palace of Nuwa and headed towards Si Water Pass.
Nuwa picked up the golden lotus seed and examined it from top to bottom, tore off a piece of the skin, and put it in her mouth to taste. She couldn't help but furrow her brow, stretch her tongue, and realized that the skin was indeed bitter and not very tasty.
The human-shaped camera was in place. She immediately took out the Observational Heaven Mirror, which had been sealed for more than a month, and assumed a comfortable position, lying down to watch the drama unfold.
Deng Chanyu arrived at Si Water Pass.
She was dressed in a sky-blue robe, with a jade belt around her waist, and she also held a broom that looked like it was supposed to be hers.
Upon arrival at the scene, she saw that wow! So many people! Is this a market day?
What is a bamboo pavilion? It's actually just a very simple thatched shed.
The Xuanmen sect advocates simplicity. The more one stays away from worldly matters, the easier it is to perceive the Great Dao.
At this moment, when she looked over, the cutters were black as ink, with hundreds and thousands of people. At times, cutters came riding on clouds. The place was too crowded to seat everyone.
There was no need for her to squeeze over there. What is this? This is the will of heaven!
She sat down on the side of the True Sect.
Thanks to the two visits to the Jade Virtual Palace, no one in the True Sect did not know her.
She has a good relationship with Ji Ziya, and she immediately launched into pure True Sect slang: "Ji Senior, Chanyu has come to help."
Ji Ziya: "？？？."
Even though I don't know what's happening, you're all here to help me, got it!
Deng Chanyu could chat with the members of the True Sect. She told Huang Tianhua that his younger brother Huang Tianxiang was already over a year old, and she mentioned to Jin Za and Mu Za that their parents were planning to give them another younger brother or sister.
Deng Chanyu spoke to Huang Longzhen about the past events of the Heaven and Earth, deeply reflecting on the huge damage caused by the two races to the Heaven and Earth in the primordial chaos. She highly praised Hong Jun Zeng, who corrected chaos and turned the world upside down with his great vision, and encouraged both dragon and phoenix races to be grateful in this new environment and serve as a model for other races in the Heaven and Earth.
The time is not long.
The gods of the Western sect were also present.
The leading figure was Maitreya, the disciple of Jie Yin Saint, who had already achieved the Great Dao Fruit.
Behind him were more than fifty disciples of the Western sect, including Moli Zhi Tian, whom Deng Chanyu was quite familiar with.
This pigheaded female Refiner discarded her original blood sea cultivation method and re-entered the realm of spirit immortality. Her skin seemed to be coated with a layer of gold powder, her gaze solemn, and her expression calm. She no longer had the former lascivious and coy demeanor.
The disciples of the Western sect would not sit on the side of the Zhaogong sect either. It was simply too crowded over there, and it was particularly noisy. The Western sect disciples preferred tranquility, so they sat on the side of the True Sect. However, there was a clear distinction between the two groups, with distinct boundaries.
Qingxu Daode Zhengin was still in seclusion for repentance, and only four of the twelve Golden Immortals of the True Sect had arrived so far: Guangchengzi, Chongxingzi, Taiychengzi and Huanglong Zhenren. Among them, Yu Dingzhenren, who was especially anticipated by Huanglong Zhenren, had not yet arrived.
Jiugong Jinlingmoushi sat in the car of seven scented incense and accompanied by a cloud of auspicious clouds, descended from the sky, which was the last immortal to arrive.
As the most advanced practitioner and half-owner, she immediately opened her mouth and spoke loudly: "All of you are from the Xuanmen sect. I'm sure you all know about the saint's promise. Today we spar with battle formations, only to distinguish between victories and defeats, not to decide life or death. Have any of you heard clearly?"
The crowd of Jiugong immediately responded, "We will follow the instructions of our senior sister Zhengtu" and "We will follow the instructions of our elder brother Zhengtu."
Although the number of people was large, they were also well-organized.
The True Sect couldn't respond in the same way. Maitreya and Deng Chanyu made a gesture of humility, and Guangchengzi, representing the immortals, replied, "That is natural."
Jinlingmoushi was straightforward and decisive: "Alright, our first formation is called the Ice-cold Array. Who among you would like to challenge it?"
The True Sect's immortals were silent, some with their eyes closed and chanting mantras, and others with their fingers pressed together to calculate, but none of them spoke up to accept the challenge.
The True Sect wanted the Western sect to go first, while the Western sect wanted Deng Chanyu to go first. Deng Chanyu bent her head to count the bristles of her broom, looking at how many there were. This broom was even a gift from Daji before, holding significant meaning.
The scene was like when Yip Man challenged Hong Zhenan. A circle of martial artists surrounded the spot, but no one was willing to take the initiative to start the fight.
"Alright, I'll take the lead and face the Ice-cold Array first!" Huanglong Zhenren volunteered to take the initiative. He withdrew his sword, riding on a gust of wind and thunder, and charged into the Ice-cold Array.
Different from the Ten Ultimate Arrays in the original time-space, this time it was purely a display of skills, another contest to determine victory and defeat. Yuan Jiao did not conceal the Ice-cold Array, and although some of the frosty cold gas escaped, it did not obstruct the view for the immortals outside.
