Chapter 94: Xuan Chu Sows the Seed, Nuwa is Imprisoned in the Nuwa Palace

The Heavenly Dao and Hongjun planned to imprison the Human Emperor in the Fire Cloud Cave to control the human race. However, due to Xuan Chu's intervention, Fuxi made a decision to defy the Heavenly Dao: the Human Emperor would remain in the Human Race's Holy Temple instead of going to the Fire Cloud Cave. This greatly frustrated Taishang, who had no choice but to go to Zixiao Palace to report back. Before leaving, Taishang told Nuwa to go to Zixiao Palace to explain things to Hongjun properly when she had time.

After Taishang left, Xuan Chu said to Fuxi, "Fuxi, although you have attained the Dao and become the Human Emperor, and will be in charge of the Human Race's Holy Temple in the future, the Human Race cannot be without a leader for a day. You need to leave behind an avatar to guard the Human Race and wait for the next Human Race's supreme ruler to be born."

"Fuxi understands. On behalf of the human race, Fuxi thanks the Daoist for his assistance." Fuxi sincerely bowed to Xuan Chu. Fuxi knew very well that without Xuan Chu, he would not have been able to escape being trapped in the Fire Cloud Cave.

"Brother, you will stay in the human race from now on. Remember, you are the human emperor Fuxi. Your sister is going to Zixiao Palace." Nuwa said to Fuxi, and once again reminded him that he was the human emperor Fuxi, because she was afraid that Fuxi would be indecisive and ruin his future.

"Don't worry, sister, I understand. But what about the teacher?" Fuxi was not one to act rashly. Once he made a decision, he would not change it. However, Fuxi was still more worried about Nuwa. Just now, Nuwa supported his rebellion, which was undoubtedly against the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun. What kind of punishment would Nuwa receive if she went to Zixiao Palace?

"Don't worry, brother!" Nuwa smiled and said, "After all, I am a sage of the Heavenly Dao. Even the Heavenly Dao cannot punish me without reason. This time it's just to give our teacher an explanation. It's nothing serious."

"Nuwa, if Hongjun really wants to make a mountain out of a molehill, you can come to the Pangu Palace to find me. Perhaps I can protect you." At this moment, Xuan Chu suddenly said to Nuwa.

Upon hearing Xuan Chu's words, Fu Xi looked at Xuan Chu with hope. In Fu Xi's eyes, no matter what faction was, nothing was more important than his sister. Besides, it wasn't like there weren't people in the Xuan Sect who had betrayed the Xuan Sect and switched to Xuan Chu's lineage.

"Thank you for your kindness, Daoist Master, but Nuwa is a disciple of the Xuanmen Sect and a Heavenly Dao Saint, so I won't trouble you." Nuwa still refused Xuan Chu. It wasn't that Nuwa was particularly loyal to the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun, but rather that Nuwa couldn't afford to gamble. The Heavenly Dao Saint was a top figure in the prehistoric world. If she left the Xuanmen Sect and joined Xuan Chu's lineage, could she still retain her position as a Heavenly Dao Saint? Besides, the Heavenly Dao held Nuwa's life in its hands. A wisp of her primordial spirit was entrusted to the Heavenly Dao, which meant that the Heavenly Dao could crush Nuwa at any time, and kill her completely. Therefore, Nuwa dared not, and could not, do such a thing.

"Since that's the case, then you'd better take care of yourself. But you must remember what I said today. You can come to the Pangu Palace anytime you decide." After saying that, Xuan Chu left.

The reason Xuan Chu said this to Nuwa was not because he had taken a liking to her. To be honest, in terms of talent and background, Nuwa was far inferior to Tongtian, Houtu, and Minghe. The reason Nuwa was able to become a Heavenly Saint was simply because she controlled the laws of creation. The Great Dao and the Heavenly Dao needed Nuwa to create an eternal protagonist for the prehistoric world.

By doing this, Xuan Chu was simply making an attempt. If it succeeded, it could weaken the power of the Heavenly Dao. Once Nuwa was removed from her holy position, one of the six Heavenly Dao saints would be missing, and the origin of the Heavenly Dao would be damaged. This would be entirely beneficial to Xuan Chu. Even if it failed, it wouldn't matter. It could be considered as planting a seed that might one day take root and sprout.

After Xuan Chu left, Nuwa said to Fuxi, "Brother, your sister is leaving."

Fuxi nodded and said, "Alright, take care, sister. If... if Heaven and our teacher make things too difficult for you, you can seriously consider Daoist Venerable's opinion. Your brother will always support you."

"My sister knows, she's leaving!"

In the Zixiao Palace, Taishang was reporting back to Hongjun. In fact, Hongjun already knew the outcome before Taishang returned. He did not blame Taishang. Facing Xuan Chu, let alone Taishang, even if he himself descended, he could not do anything to Xuan Chu. However, what Hongjun did not expect was that Nuwa dared to disobey him, which he could not tolerate.

"Let's leave it at that, Your Majesty. You've worked hard. Go back now," Hongjun sighed. It was truly unpleasant to feel things hadn't gone as planned.

"Yes!" The Supreme Lord breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully Hongjun didn't blame him.

Not long after Taishang left, Nuwa's voice came from outside Zixiao Palace: "Disciple Nuwa requests an audience with her master!"

Upon hearing Nuwa's voice, Hongjun's face instantly turned frosty, and he said in a deep voice, "Come in!"

Nuwa entered the Zixiao Palace, knelt tremblingly before Hongjun, and said, "Disciple Nuwa greets Master, wishing Master a long and prosperous life!"

"Nuwa, do you know your crime?" Hongjun said coldly.

"This disciple knows his sins and begs for punishment, Master!" Nuwa did not argue, but instead prostrated herself to admit her guilt.

Hongjun said, "Nuwa, do you know that you have ruined the great affairs of Heaven and my sect? Don't you know how important the Human Emperor's seclusion in the Fire Cloud Cave is to Heaven and my Xuanmen sect?"

"Disciple knows, but Master, Fuxi is, after all, my brother!" Nuwa said. How could Nuwa not know what Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao were thinking? But knowing was one thing, but Nuwa couldn't bear to watch her brother be imprisoned.

"Alas..." Hongjun sighed and said, "Nuwa, your emotional behavior will eventually ruin you. You have disrupted the Heavenly Dao and its important affairs, and you must be punished. From this day forward, you will remain in Nuwa Palace. Without my permission, you are not allowed to leave Nuwa Palace even a step. I will personally set up a barrier in Nuwa Palace. Unless your strength is equal to mine, you will not be able to leave Nuwa Palace."

Hearing Hongjun's conversation, Nuwa turned ashen-faced. She had been imprisoned, and now, after helping Fuxi escape his fate of imprisonment, she herself had been imprisoned as well.

"Yes, disciple obeys the decree!" Nuwa said resignedly.

"Let's go!" Hongjun waved his hand, and Nuwa was sent back to the Nuwa Palace.

Imprisoning Nuwa was a helpless move by Hongjun. He couldn't really depose Nuwa's holy position, but Nuwa was prone to causing trouble. After much deliberation, Hongjun decided to imprison Nuwa in the Nuwa Palace. As long as Nuwa remained a Heavenly Saint and maintained the integrity of the Six Heavenly Saints and the perfection of the Heavenly Dao, nothing else mattered.

When Nuwa opened her eyes again, she found herself back in the Nuwa Palace. Then a sound came, and a barrier enveloped the entire Nuwa Palace. Nuwa investigated and found that this barrier was not simple, because it not only prevented her from leaving the Nuwa Palace, but also completely isolated her from the outside world. Without the permission of Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao, she had no way to communicate with the outside world or know what was happening outside.

"Teacher, you're so cruel!" Nuwa said through gritted teeth, her face pale.

After Fuxi attained enlightenment and became the Emperor of the Human Race, the second Emperor of the Human Race is about to arrive.

In the East Sea, on Jin'ao Island, at Biyou Palace, Tongtian summoned Kong Xuan. Since Kong Xuan removed his karmic burdens, his cultivation had progressed by leaps and bounds, and he had now reached the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. Therefore, Tongtian intended to send Kong Xuan to become the Earth Emperor's teacher. Tongtian had also witnessed the changes in Xuandu after he absorbed the merits of the Human Emperor's teacher. Tongtian did not expect Kong Xuan to break through a major realm. As long as he could break through to the late-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, Kong Xuan would still be able to easily defeat the third generation of the Xuanmen sect.

"Disciple greets Master!" Kong Xuan bowed to Tongtian.

"No need for formalities!" Tongtian waved his hand and said, "Kong Xuan, your grandmaster negotiated with Dao Ancestor Hongjun and obtained four teachers of the Human Emperors. Your grandmaster then gave these four teachers to me. Now that the Heavenly Emperor has returned to the throne, the Earthly Emperor is about to be born. You must immediately go to the human race, wait for the Earthly Emperor's birth, take him under your wing, and teach him well. Do you understand?"

"Disciple obeys the decree!" Kong Xuan, who was always ruthless and taciturn, readily agreed.
