Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

As they continued upwards, Nuwa was drenched in sweat and felt utterly exhausted. In contrast, Fuxi fared much better. Fuxi used his spiritual power to protect Nuwa and the other woman, and they walked for three days and three nights before finally reaching the summit.

The two were stunned by the sight before them; the soil, in all its different colors, looked vibrant and dazzling. They had never seen soil like this before.

"Master, you really didn't lie to me?" Nuwa, who originally just wanted to give it a try, was initially excited and thrilled when she saw the five-colored soil on the mountaintop, but then her feelings became complicated.

Could all of this be a coincidence? How could such a coincidence happen? I originally planned to come up and give it a try, but who knew that as soon as I came up there would really be five-colored soil, just as my master had said in his dream.

Does this mean that those people can be rescued sooner? This realization greatly excited Nuwa, and of course, Fuxi was genuinely happy for Nuwa as well.

Following Li Xiuyuan's advice, Nuwa used Samadhi True Fire to refine the five-colored soil on Mount Tiantai. She refined one piece and then patched it up in the sky. The more Nuwa refined, the smaller the sky became. When she got to the last piece, the sky was already patched up. Nuwa originally wanted to use the last piece of five-colored crystal to consolidate it, but in the end, she couldn't patch it up at all.

Nuwa had no choice but to give up and leave the last piece of five-colored crystal on Mount Tiantai.

The sky was repaired, and the people were able to live in peace and prosperity again. Everyone was very happy. Some people saw that Nuwa had gone to repair the sky before, so they all knew that it was Goddess Nuwa who saved them. Therefore, they set up Nuwa Temple in the human world for people to worship.

Nuwa and Fuxi were overjoyed when they learned that the weather was dire. On their way down the mountain, they encountered an avalanche and a landslide.

To save Nuwa, Fuxi was struck by a giant rock. This was no ordinary rock; it was a massive boulder imbued with Samadhi Fire. Fuxi couldn't dodge in time and was ultimately engulfed by the rock, which, along with the Samadhi Fire, consumed him.

Li Xiuyuan knew that the sky had been repaired, and even the important figures in the Heavenly Court knew it.

In the past, Gonggong angrily rammed Buzhou Mountain, causing the Heavenly Court to collapse. Donghuang Taiyi, the ancestor of the demon race, was very dissatisfied with Gonggong, and this became another reason to start a war.

After learning that the sky had been repaired, they were extremely unwilling and finally decided to go to the Witch Clan to find the Twelve Witch Ancestors and demand an explanation.

Donghuang Taiyi led the demon race straight to the witch race.

At this time, Li Xiuyuan and the Twelve Demon Gods were discussing this matter in the inner hall.

"Zhurong and Gonggong, come out quickly!" Donghuang Taiyi shouted outside the palace. Today, no matter what, he had to teach the twelve demon gods of the Wu tribe a lesson to vent his anger. When he learned that Gonggong had struck the pillar of Buzhou Mountain, he discussed with everyone about attacking the Wu tribe.

Li Xiuyuan and the 12 Demon Gods were discussing things inside the hall. Li Xiuyuan knew about Donghuang Taiyi's conspiracy and wanted to help the Wu Clan fight against the Demon Clan.

More importantly, the demon race were subordinates of Hongjun Laozu, and his capable subordinates. After the Wu clan withdrew their troops, Li Xiuyuan discussed matters with the twelve demon gods.

The war between the demon race and the witch race is about to begin. This time, Li Xiuyuan defeated three famous demon generals all by himself. The demon race hated him even more. Helpless, they could not defeat him and had to retreat.

After this incident, the other demons accepted Li Xiuyuan's identity. Originally, Zhu Rong and Ju Mang did not recognize Li Xiuyuan. However, they could not overcome Gonggong's persistence.

In Gonggong's heart, Li Xiuyuan was able to regard him as his master the moment he saw him.

He was so lonely all by himself. If it weren't for Li Xiuyuan, even his other brothers probably wouldn't have recognized him.

They couldn't even hear his voice, let alone talk to him; he was just air to them.

"Master, when can I regain my human form?" Fu Gong was eager to return to his spirit. Being a soul was too inconvenient. If Li Xiuyuan could restore his physical body, that would be great, much better than his current state.

Especially those demons, they are really too much. If he could recover his primordial spirit, the first thing he would do is beat them so badly that even their own mothers wouldn't recognize them. Unfortunately, he can only imagine it now. Without a physical body, he can't even touch anyone, let alone fight them.

"By the way, where is Gonggong's body?" Hearing Gonggong's impatient question, Li Xiuyuan asked the other demon gods. He had been thinking about other things and had completely forgotten about such an important matter.

Chapter 1032 The Lich Wars

To allow his soul to return to his body, firstly, his body needs to be preserved intact; secondly, he needs a resurrection pill; and thirdly, Gonggong's soul is incomplete, so it needs to be reconstructed.

In fact, all of these are extremely difficult. Compared to these conditions, Li Xiuyuan is really at a huge disadvantage. Putting aside the difficulty of refining the Resurrection Pill, just weaving a soul is not an easy task. It requires his spiritual power to wrap around Gonggong's body and soul and temper it for forty-nine days.

Furthermore, the spiritual energy must not be interrupted or disturbed. If it is interrupted or disturbed, the consequences will be unimaginable. Not only will Gonggong be unable to save him, but he himself will also be devoured by his own spiritual energy.

As for the rare ingredients for refining pills, such as the ten-thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, the ten-thousand-year-old colorful lotus, and the ten-thousand-year-old He Shou Wu, it goes without saying that finding these pills would require traversing the entire continent. The difficulty is unimaginable. He would have to rely on the system's help. Needless to say, it would definitely cost him a large number of points.

Therefore, the Wu Clan only profited from this deal. Even without Li Xiuyuan, it was only a matter of time before the Demon Clan and the Wu Clan went to war. This was something that Ancestor Hongjun had prepared for long ago. When two tigers fight, one will inevitably be injured, and the Wu Clan was the one that would inevitably be injured.

Furthermore, due to Gonggong's actions in breaking the pillar of Buzhou Mountain, the fortune of the Wu tribe has greatly diminished, while the fortune of the Yao tribe has risen sharply. Even with his help, it cannot be guaranteed that the Wu tribe can defeat the Yao tribe.

Gonggong has broken the fortune of the Wu tribe, and fortune is extremely important to a race. For example, the Wu tribe and the demon tribe were always evenly matched in strength. Even though they disliked each other, no one dared to take the lead.

After this incident, the fortune of the Wu clan was broken, and they no longer had the advantage they once had when competing with the demon clan.

After obtaining Gonggong's body, Li Xiuyuan bid farewell to the Wu Clan. Before leaving, he passed on a secret manual to them, which he had purchased from the system and which would be beneficial and harmless to their cultivation techniques.

Li Xiuyuan was preparing to go find Nuwa, but he wondered how she was doing. The sky had been mended, so she should know that he had been to her dream.

Is she thinking of me right now? Li Xiuyuan was really looking forward to meeting her; he couldn't wait.

Before leaving, Gonggong insisted on seeing Fengwa one last time.

Li Xiuyuan originally did not want to agree to his request, but he could not resist Gonggong's persistent pleading and entreaties. He had thought that Gonggong, who was hot-tempered and had a large physique, was a tough and unyielding man with a rough mind.

Who would have thought that this Gonggong was different from the Gonggong in his heart? He was a complete goofball and a clown. However, Li Xiuyuan still liked this kind of Gonggong.

If you live a long time and have such a funny person by your side, you'll feel happy every day, and time will pass faster. At least with him around, life won't be lonely.

The Wu tribe was astonished after receiving the cultivation manual from Li Xiuyuan. The techniques within were very similar to their own, but the content was far more comprehensive. Even the levels were higher. They were extremely curious about Li Xiuyuan's identity and how he could possess such a valuable manual.

Of course, Li Xiuyuan wouldn't tell them about the system. The more mysterious he seemed, the more unfathomable the 12 Witch Ancestors found him.

Meanwhile, Nuwa was on her way down from Mount Tiantai when her beloved brother passed away. At that time, her only thought was to find her master.

She thought that if her master had been there, nothing would have happened. Even now that her brother was dead, as long as her master was there, nothing could possibly defeat him. Nuwa was now clinging to Li Xiuyuan as her last lifeline.

She doesn't know what she would be like now if she didn't have a master.

When Li Xiuyuan found Nuwa, she looked extremely disheveled, her clothes were tattered, her body was covered in scratches, and her face was disfigured, but her eyes were dull, as if she had no feelings.

"Nuwa, what are you doing here?" When Li Xiuyuan found Nuwa, she was in this disheveled state. Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but call out as he watched Nuwa stumble forward.

"Master, Master, you've finally come! I thought I'd never see you again!" Perhaps it was the excitement of seeing Li Xiuyuan, or perhaps it was because her brother had died, Nuwa felt extremely sad and couldn't help but burst into tears the moment she saw Li Xiuyuan.

Nuwa clung tightly to Li Xiuyuan. Her brother's death was a huge blow to her. She had never imagined that one day her beloved brother would leave her and go away from her.

She was terrified. What would she do if her brother were gone?

Li Xiuyuan hugged Nuwa tightly and comforted her, "Don't be sad, your brother has just gone to the Six Realms to reincarnate. He is not dead. If he sees you like this, he will be unhappy."

Whether human, god, or demon, after their death, they will all be reincarnated in the six realms, suffering the pain of reincarnation. No one is an exception, so Fuxi will enter the cycle of reincarnation.

"Master, is what you said true? My brother really didn't die?" Nuwa raised her delicate face, her tears still wet, looking pitiful. She stared with her big, wet eyes. Although her face was still very dirty, she looked even more pitiful.

"Of course! Don't you believe what your master said? Has your master ever lied to you?" Li Xiuyuan reached out and wiped away Nuwa's tears, saying with heartache.

"Master, I believe you. I believe everything you say." Nuwa finally felt relieved. She believed everything Li Xiuyuan said because she knew her master would not lie to her.

"Good boy, it's a good thing that your brother is entering reincarnation now. Your master will definitely protect him well. In a few hundred years, you will be able to meet again."

Li Xiuyuan comforted Nuwa, explaining that he knew Fuxi's fate was to die for Nuwa and become one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, revered by later generations. In fact, such an ending was quite good.

Chapter 1033 Title Eaten

After the story of Kuafu chasing the sun, Hongjun Laozu, because the chaotic world was too disorderly, decided to separate humans and gods. All the gods ascended to the Heavenly Court, while all humans remained in the mortal world. From then on, no one who had not reached a certain level of attainment could ascend to the Heavenly Court.

The demon clan's Donghuang Taiyi led the demons to ascend to the Heavenly Court to manage its affairs. From then on, the Heavenly Palace was under the jurisdiction of the demons.

Nuwa sat on a stone bench and sighed. She missed her brother! She wondered how he was doing now, whether he had entered the cycle of reincarnation.

"Nuwa, would you like to see how Fuxi is doing now?" Li Xiuyuan calculated with his fingers and found that Fuxi had entered reincarnation and had been reborn in the human world.

"Master, are you saying my brother has already..." Nuwa blinked her bright eyes and stared straight at Li Xiuyuan. Nuwa looked very innocent.

Master must know her brother's whereabouts, otherwise he wouldn't have told her. Seeing his confident demeanor, Nuwa was exceptionally happy and excited; she was about to see her brother again.

"Come on, follow me!" Li Xiuyuan knew that Nuwa's desire to see her brother was exceptionally strong, so he brought him to the human world.

At this moment, in a farmhouse courtyard in the village, a middle-aged woman with a large belly was talking to a middle-aged man dressed in coarse cloth. The two looked very well-matched and harmonious.

Just as the two were chatting and laughing, the middle-aged woman suddenly clutched her stomach, her expression pained, her face pale, her whole body trembling, and cold sweat dripping down her forehead.

"Ouch! My stomach! It hurts so much! Husband, hurry and find a midwife, I'm about to give birth!" The middle-aged woman was in so much pain she could barely stand. Her voice trembled as she nudged the middle-aged man beside her, gesturing for him to go find a midwife.

"Madam, don't worry, I'll be right there! Someone, hurry and find a midwife, Madam is about to give birth!" The middle-aged man shouted loudly to the outside when he saw his wife in such pain.

The man knew they didn't have much money, but he was known for doting on his wife, and seeing her in such distress made him especially sad.

He had prepared a midwife for his wife long ago, out of fear that something unexpected might happen. Just in case, he would rather suffer the pain of childbirth in place of his wife.

"Here she comes, here she comes, the midwife is here!" someone shouted, and the people around immediately made way for the midwife to pass.

"Come on, everyone make way! The midwife is here! The midwife is here!" The midwife, a middle-aged woman dressed in a blue cotton-linen dress, strode up to the middle-aged man and helped him lift the pregnant woman up.

"The woman is about to give birth, everyone please step aside. Sir, please step aside as well." Everyone else left, but the middle-aged woman's husband remained, showing no intention of leaving, so the midwife had to speak up to remind him.

"No, I don't want to go down. I want to see my wife safe and sound with my own eyes." The middle-aged man looked at his wife anxiously, his eyes firm, showing how much he truly loved her.

"It's alright, husband! You should go out now!" Although the middle-aged woman felt extremely pained, she still didn't want her husband to experience this pain with her.

She was deeply moved; no man had ever spoken to her like that before. She felt incredibly happy, exceptionally happy.

She was the most envied person among the neighbors because her husband doted on her. Unlike other men who had a chauvinistic complex, he respected her very much, respected all her opinions, and helped her with housework.

Even in such a critical moment, his first thought was always her safety. With his meticulous care and thoughtfulness, many women would throw themselves at him, but he only had eyes for her, and loved only her. How could she not feel such affection?

"Master, why hasn't my brother been born yet?" Bullfrog, listening to the woman's painful cries and screams inside the door, could imagine how much pain it was in, how heartbroken it was.

"Your brother is destined to be an extraordinary person, so his birth took longer than others." Fuxi tormented his mother for seven days and seven nights during his birth, which was also the day of his mother's death. Of course, Li Xiuyuan would not tell Nuwa these things.

"Master, let's help her. Look how much pain she's in." Nuwa saw how difficult the woman was in labor and wanted to help her, especially since the child in her womb was her brother! Although it sounded unbelievable, she firmly believed in it.

"Don't worry! He'll be fine. To achieve success, one must endure hardship and hunger." A person must possess extraordinary willpower, and being born into a humble family allows one to hone that willpower even more. This, in turn, contributed to his later achievements.

"Waaaaah..." With the cry of a newborn baby, everyone's hearts, which had been pounding in their chests, finally settled.

"Let's go!" With the baby successfully born, Li Xiuyuan felt relieved seeing Nuwa. They had other things to do, so they had to leave now. They had also taken time out of their busy schedules to visit Fuxi, all to put Nuwa at ease.

"Master, why did she do this to me?" Gonggong suddenly blurted out this nonsensical question.

"She never cared about you at all. The person she likes isn't you. You should give up now!" Li Xiuyuan sighed softly as he looked at the dejected Gonggong. Gonggong was such a stubborn child; even in death, he remained deluded, fantasizing that Fengwa loved him.

When Gonggong said he was going to find Fengwa, Li Xiuyuan went with him. He could sense that Fengwa didn't have any romantic feelings for him at all; at most, she only cared for her older brother.
