Chapter 3: Nüwa Creates Humans

  The Third Daughter of the Heavenly King Creates Humans

  With this in mind, Kunpeng went to the Heavenly Court to request an audience with Emperor Jun. Unaware of Kunpeng's intentions, Emperor Jun received him in the rear hall along with Taiyi and a group of officials to avoid any unexpected events.

  Di Jun first asked: "I don't know what important matter the demon master has come for this time, why is it so urgent to see me?"

  "Your Majesty, as the emperor of the demon tribe, although our forces are strong and unified, the witch tribe, led by the twelve ancestral witches, is not to be underestimated. In the vast expanse of the Hong Huang continent, our demon tribe and the witch tribe have been engaging in a struggle for dominance, and it's only a matter of time before a full-scale conflict erupts. The witch tribe has twelve ancestral witches, each with cultivation that surpasses yours, whereas our demon tribe has only a handful of great sages who can rival them. Furthermore, the twelve ancestral witches can set up the 'Twelve Heavenly God-Killing Array' to suppress the witch tribe's aura, while our demon tribe is far inferior in this regard. If a large-scale conflict were to break out, our demon tribe would suffer heavy losses and be powerless against the witch tribe's attacks."

  Dong Huang Taiyi snorted coldly when he heard Kunpeng's words, saying: "Your words are a bit too frightening, even if the Wu tribe has twelve ancestral witches, it's not a big deal. They themselves are limited by their innate nature and cannot use innate spiritual treasures. I have the innate treasure 'Hunyuan Bell', and my brother also has the top-grade innate spiritual treasures 'Hetu' and 'Luoshu'. With them in hand, what is there to fear about the Wu tribe?"

  Kunpeng knew that Dong Huang Taiyi had always been suspicious of him, and if he didn't make a move now, it would be difficult for him to stand firm in the demon clan. So he coldly smiled and said: "Dong Huang's words are somewhat self-aggrandizing, 'Hunyuan Bell' is indeed a pre-heavenly treasure, but with your quasi-saint cultivation, you can't fully unleash its power, and the 'Twelve Heavenly God Killing Array' set up by the twelve ancestors of the Wu clan is not something you can imagine."

  Dong Huang Ta Yi said disdainfully: "I haven't heard that the Wu tribe has any amazing formations, since you know, Master Yao, tell me about it, and let me broaden my horizons!"

  Kunpeng said: "'The Twelve Heavenly Gods' formation is left by Pangu, if the twelve ancestral witches set up 'The Twelve Heavenly Gods' formation, they can summon the true body of Pangu according to its own Pangu bloodline. I wonder what method Dong Huang will use to resist the power of Pangu's true body?"

  Dong Huang Taizi sneered, "I've never heard of the 'Twelve Heavenly Gods' formation of the Wu tribe. If this formation really exists as you say, it should be the Wu tribe's highest secret. I wonder how you, a demon master, came to know about it?"

  Kun Peng coldly smiled and said: "The Eastern Emperor being unaware doesn't mean it's nonexistent, but rather I am the one who knows about this matter. This is my own secret, so it's not convenient to inform others."

  Dong Huang Ta Yi said, "The demon master did not say where this matter came from, how can we believe it? If the witch tribe can summon the true body of Pangu, what method does the demon master have to resist?"

  Kun Peng sneered and said, "Even if the Eastern Emperor doesn't believe this matter, even if I have a way to resist the 'Twelve Heavenly Gods' Great Formation', it would be in vain. On the contrary, it will lead to unnecessary suspicion."

  Kun Peng finished speaking, and with a gesture of respect to Emperor Jun, he turned and left. The heavenly courtiers were all shocked by Taiyi and Kunpeng's words, and most people did not quite believe Kunpeng's words, only a few people were alerted by Kunpeng's words.

  After all the ministers left, Emperor Jun said to Taiyi: "Kunpeng can say such words in front of everyone, it's not possible that he is just making empty talk, there must be some basis for it. What you said earlier was a bit excessive."

  Dong Huang Taiyi was skeptical and said, "I don't believe his words. Although the Wu tribe is powerful, to say that they have an array that can summon the true body of Pangu, this is clearly a lie. After Pangu opened up the sky, he transformed into the countless things in the universe, and the Twelve Ancestors of the Wu tribe were just transformed from Pangu's essence and blood. What ability do they have to summon Pangu's true body? And where would they summon Pangu's true body from?"

  Di Jun sighed, "Kun Peng's words may be somewhat exaggerated, but he absolutely cannot lie in front of so many people. After all, he is one of the first living beings to appear in the vast expanse of the universe, and his background predates yours and mine. It's not surprising that he knows some secrets of the universe. If he hadn't been unlucky and didn't have a pre-heavenly spiritual treasure to protect him, he wouldn't have ended up getting hurt by Hongyun's self-explosion."

  Dong Huang Taiyi said: "Even if that's the case, what can he do? His life and death are now in our hands, I'm sure he wouldn't dare to have other thoughts!"

  Di Jun sighed, "Although it's like this, but Kun Peng can come to inform you of my secrets, it means he wants to be friends with us. But you treat him like this, greatly hurting his pride. In the future, it will be very difficult for him to truly help us!"

  Di Jun's words made Tai Yi regretful, but given Tai Yi's personality, it was impossible for him to swallow his pride and apologize to Kun Peng, so the hatred between them would only grow deeper.

  Kunpeng never thought that his words alone would move Emperor Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, according to his idea, the two should take the initiative to repair their relationship with him after hearing this, which is beneficial for him to establish his position in the demon clan. But what he never expected was that Donghuang Taiyi would be so petty, humiliating himself in front of everyone, clearly not taking Kunpeng seriously.

  Since Donghuang Taiyi is so unappreciative, don't blame me for harboring resentment in my heart. In the struggle between witches and demons, I will drag your hind legs. Thus, Kunpeng decided to seize the "River Map" and "Luo Book", this extreme pre-heavenly spiritual treasure of Emperor Jun's, according to the memories of later generations, during the Great War of Witches and Demons.

  Anger returned to anger, Kunpeng saw the heavenly court and didn't take himself seriously, so he turned around and left the heavenly court. He calculated for a moment, based on the memories of later generations, at this time, Nüwa should be about to pinch the earth to create humans, which is a great merit in heaven, so he came to the foot of Mount Buzhou and quietly waited for Nüwa's arrival.

  Kunpeng wandered around Mount Buzhou for several months, one day he came to the foot of Mount Buzhou and found that Nüwa was making mud men there. He went forward to pay his respects and said: "I have seen Nüwa."

  Nüwa saw the arrival of Kunpeng, her expression somewhat tense, and asked: "I don't know what teachings the demon master has, could it be that you want to seize my opportunity for great dao?"

  Kunpeng couldn't help but sigh repeatedly, he never thought that his battle with Hongyun would bring him so much trouble, almost to the point where everyone was on guard against him.

  He stepped forward and said, "Nuwa, you're overthinking this. I'm just here to greet you since I saw you were alone. I don't have any other intentions. I know everyone thinks I'm a thief because of the Red Cloud affair, but none of you have put yourselves in my shoes. Back then at the Zixiao Palace, I had a seat, but Hongyun gave it up for Zhunti, which cost me my seat and affected my chances of becoming a deity. Hongyun and I had a huge grudge because of this, so I went to settle the score with him. I didn't do anything excessive; in fact, I showed mercy and hoped we could resolve our differences peacefully. But Hongyun was hot-headed and blew himself up for the sake of the Great Dao, so his death isn't my fault."

  Nüwa said: "The demon master's leniency must be for the sake of a great opportunity."

  Kun Peng said, "I don't deny this point, but the great karma between Hongyun and me is not something that can be easily settled. If he didn't give me a chance to attain the Great Dao, he should have given me one or two pre-heavenly spiritual treasures to settle our karma, but in the end, he didn't want to settle our karma with me, and instead wanted to perish together with me, so his death was his own doing, and no one else is to blame."

  Nüwa heard Kunpeng's explanation and felt that the matter of Hongyun was indeed not to be blamed on Kunpeng. After all, due to Hongyun's momentary mistake, Kunpeng lost the opportunity for great enlightenment. Anyone else would also seek revenge against Hongyun for this cause and effect.

  Nüwa thought of this and asked again: "The demon master has surrendered to the Heavenly Court, why not receive blessings in the Heavenly Court, but instead wander around on Mount Buzhou?"

  Kunpeng sighed: "Nüwa doesn't know, in the Heavenly Court, Emperor Jun and Taiyi didn't take me Kunpeng seriously. Although they appointed me as a demon master, my situation in the Heavenly Court is very embarrassing, and my relationship with Emperor Jun and Taiyi is not good either. So I came to Mount Buzhou to wander around and clear my mind. What brings Nüwa here? If there's anything I can help with, just say so?"

  Nüwa said, "Since I heard the Tao in the Purple Mansion, the Patriarch of Tao gave me the opportunity to achieve great enlightenment. I feel that my chance to attain enlightenment is on this Mount Buzhou, and that's why I came here to find it."

  Kunpeng understood in his heart that Nüwa was about to attain enlightenment, so he said: "Since Nüwa has already understood the key to enlightenment, you can continue to comprehend the Tao here. With me, Kunpeng, guarding for you, others will not dare to come and disturb."

  Nüwa was deeply grateful for Kunpeng's enthusiasm and assistance, so she calmed down and continued to contemplate her human creation technique. After some time had passed, she finally grasped the essence of creation. She took a lump of earth and used her own vital energy as a catalyst to create humans from clay. The power of creation was indeed extraordinary, and soon a new race appeared on the earth.

  The Heavenly Way has a feeling, Nüwa created humans and bestowed great merit. Nüwa Niangniang obtained this merit and finally became a saint after inheriting the Taoist ancestor Hongjun. Although Nüwa Niangniang's merit was sanctified, the power of the saints is not something that others can withstand. The prestige of Nüwa becoming a saint

  Gong Gong felt grateful and said, "I will go with you to the Chaos to open up the sky." The goddess Nüwa said, "I am about to go to the Chaos to open up the sky, you may come along."

  Kunpeng shook his head and said, "Your Majesty has become a saint, but this human tribe cannot follow you to the Chaos. I'd better stay here to take care of their lives, so I won't go with you."

  Nüwa was surprised by Kunpeng's decision, but since someone could take care of the human tribe for her, she was delighted and said: "Then trouble Yaoshi to take care of them." After saying this, Nüwa got up and headed towards Chaos.
