Chapter 218: Chapter 208 [Water and Fire are not yet balanced, Confusing and Mysterious] (Request for Subscription)

"Water and Fire are not yet balanced?"

Watching the divination in front of him, Xuanqing couldn’t help but frown. It was a hexagram with Kan above and Li below, predicting that the marriage alliance between the Human Race and the Witch Clan might fail.

Li stands for Fire, and Kan stands for Water. With fire above water, the fire overwhelms the water, and the great effort to extinguish the fire is not yet accomplished, thus it’s called ’not yet balanced,’ and it can be considered an extremely inauspicious hexagram.

"Zhuanxu is of a Water fate, and Jiufeng is of a Fire fate. Originally, Water should conquer Fire, but Jiufeng’s strength is too overwhelming and instead suppresses Zhuanxu... But how does this hexagram show that Jiufeng is in danger of perishing?"

Although we are not in the midst of measuring calamities and the heavenly secrets are clear, as it involves the future of the Human Race and Witch Clan, Xuanqing can only predict a general situation.

As to the specific situation, including the danger of Jiufeng’s demise, he cannot predict it.

"That’s not right!"

The more Xuanqing thought about it, the more he felt something was amiss: "The marriage alliance between the Human and Witch Clans is no trivial matter! As the Heavenly Emperor, Fu Xi could not have overlooked the fate of those two, could he?"

He does not know what Fu Xi and others think, but if Jiufeng were to fall, it’s highly possible that the relationship between the Human and Witch Clans will fall apart.

Thinking of this, Xuanqing immediately flew towards the Fire Cloud Cave. Currently, Shennong is acting as the Heavenly Emperor, but Fu Xi and Xuanyuan should still be cultivating in the Fire Cloud Cave!

"Daoist Fu Xi, there is trouble!"

As soon as he saw Fu Xi and Xuanyuan, Xuanqing couldn’t wait to tell them about his spontaneous divination for Zhuanxu and Jiufeng.

"How can that be?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Xi frowned, "I had previously calculated the marriage fate for Zhuanxu and Jiufeng, and it clearly was a hexagram of ’Water and Fire are Both Filled’ which is very auspicious. How could it turn into the extremely ominous ’Water and Fire are not yet balanced’?"

Although he and Xuanqing often try to outdo each other, he believed that Xuanqing would not joke about such a matter, and immediately used his Divine Skills to recalculate the future.

"Has it really changed?"

A shadow suddenly rose in Fu Xi’s heart, "I wonder if someone previously concealed the heavenly secrets, or someone used inscrutable methods to change the fates of Jiufeng and Zhuanxu, secretly planning against them, turning what was originally an auspicious auspice into an ominous one!"

A hexagram cannot explain everything, but a change in the hexagram foreshadows a change in the future; turning from great auspice to great peril surely involved someone’s manipulation behind the scenes.

"Let’s go!"

"Let’s consult with Houtu Daoist!"

Fu Xi and Xuanyuan, being among the top Quasi-Saints, were expected to attend the wedding of Jiufeng and Zhuanxu without any accidents.

But in this situation, where great auspice turned into great peril, it indicates that a powerful force has emerged, surpassing them, and they must seek the help of Saint Houtu.

Soon, Xuanqing, Fu Xi, and Xuanyuan arrived in the World of Darkness, where Fu Xi immediately shared the future that Xuanqing had predicted with Houtu.

"Jiufeng, in danger of perishing?"

Upon hearing this, Houtu also frowned. Jiufeng’s strength is comparable to an early-stage Quasi-Saint, and with her, a Saint of Earth Dao protecting her, apart from a few Saints, who else would dare to scheme against Jiufeng in secret?

The Three Pure Ones are impossible.

If it were the Three Pure Ones, Xuanqing would not have noticed and told Fu Xi about it!

The Two Saints of the West are also impossible!

They joined the Earth Dao camp not long ago and are far weaker than her; they are natural allies now and would not dare to ignore the threat of the Heavenly Dao and secretly target Jiufeng, causing a rift with her.

As for Nuwa...

Nuwa’s true body has always been in Taixu Heaven, usually remaining untouched by karma and is also the Holy Mother of the Human Race, it’s unlikely she would do something to prevent the alliance between the Human and Witch Clans.

Hong Jun?

Being merged with the Heavenly Dao, he naturally would not want the Earth Dao faction to gain the augmentation of the fortune of the Human Dao, but he should be temporarily unable to intervene in the Primordial affairs, right?

Houtu was sure of this.

Over the years, she has treated Jiufeng as a younger sister, and if it were not for bringing back her elder brothers, Jiufeng would not have actively proposed the marriage alliance.

Yes!

The marriage alliance was initiated by Jiufeng alone, so as to possibly leverage the fortune of the Human Race to help the Ancestor Witches return from their lost destinies.

The marriage between the two clans isn’t as simple as it appears on the surface; the Witch Clan has given a lot of Innate Spiritual Treasures, while the Human Race also needs to offer massive amounts of incense worship.

In the Human Race, there are positions like Fire Officer and Water Officer established by Fu Xi, and Houtu plans to substitute Gonggong for Water Officer and Zhu Rong for Fire Officer, using the fortune of the Human Race to bring back the Ancestor Witches.

Both Fu Xi and Xuanyuan knew about this, and they took the opportunity to ask Houtu for a large number of treasures beneficial to the Human Race.

Thus, the marriage between Zhuanxu and Jiufeng isn’t as simple as it appears on the surface; it’s a mutual exchange of benefits between the Human and Witch Clans.

"The marriage must continue!"

Houtu stated decisively, a powerful aura sweeping across the eight desolations: "I want to see who dares to scheme against the Great Witch of my Witch Clan?"

Of course, she could not disregard Jiufeng’s safety. As a Saint of the Earth Dao, she naturally would find a way to leave protective measures on Jiufeng.

Hearing this, Xuanyuan immediately nodded, "With Daoist Houtu taking action, we should have nothing to worry about!"

However, both Fu Xi and Xuanqing remained worried, even with Houtu ready to intervene, the hexagram of ’Water and Fire are not yet balanced’ remains unchanged.

After leaving the World of Darkness, Fu Xi immediately said to Xuanyuan, "Daoist Xuanyuan, pay close attention to Zhuanxu recently, to avoid him being schemed against by others!"

"I understand!"

Xuanyuan immediately nodded.

Meanwhile, Fu Xi spoke to Xuanqing, "The marriage between the Human and Witch Clans is of great importance. We cannot place all our hopes on Daoist Houtu alone. I plan to make a trip to Taixu Heaven; would you care to join me?"

"Good!"

Xuanqing immediately nodded, as he had no pressing matters recently, and visiting Nuwa in Taixu Heaven wouldn’t take too much time.

Thus, the two of them left the Chaos, crossed billions of miles of Chaos, and arrived in Taixu Heaven.

However, just as they reached Taixu Heaven, they saw countless exotic and bizarre creatures; with Nuwa’s proficiency in the Creation Skill, having some strange creatures in Taixu Heaven wouldn’t surprise them.

But for some reason, all the exotic creatures in Taixu Heaven, regardless of gender, all had swollen bellies and cast pleading glances towards Fu Xi.

"This..."

Fu Xi couldn’t help but frown slightly.

As for Xuanqing, his hair stood on end. As the creator of the "Mother-child Creation Divine Light," how could he not see what the creatures of Taixu Heaven were going through?

It seemed that he had inadvertently opened a new world’s door for Nuwa.

"Great God Fu Xi, please persuade Lady Nuwa!" Nuwa’s protector Bai Xi looked towards Fu Xi as if seeing a great savior and hurriedly spoke: "Lady Nuwa seems to have gone a bit insane!"

Seeing this, Xuanqing turned and ran: "Daoist Fu Xi, I suddenly recall an urgent matter, so I won’t accompany you to see Lady Nuwa!"

But Fu Xi’s movement was undoubtedly much faster, grabbing the robe of Xuanqing: "Why do I see Daoist looking a bit guilty?"

"We share blessings and face difficulties together, you can’t abandon me!"

As Nuwa’s elder brother, he naturally knew how terrifying Nuwa’s current state was. In the Primordial, those strange and bizarre creatures, were mostly created by Nuwa as practice works.

And the Human Race, is just one of Nuwa’s most successful masterpieces among many!

Most of the creatures in Taixu Heaven are works that Nuwa is rather satisfied with, but at this moment, Nuwa seems to have gained a new understanding of the Creation Great Dao.

"Sister?"

"Holy Mother?"

The two cautiously pushed open the grand doors of Wa Palace and saw the dense Creation Light around Nuwa, which made their backs involuntarily chill.

Because, inside the Wa Palace, not only various bizarre creatures were pregnant, but even various spirit plants, and even the Chaos Immortal Stone at the entrance of Wa Palace and the Spiritual Pearls in the void, all showed signs of nurturing life.

Xuanqing couldn’t help but take a cold breath: "Creation Venerable, terrifying indeed!"

When he developed the "Mother-child Creation Divine Light," he never thought of making spirit plants, stones, spiritual pearls... these bizarre creatures pregnant!

"It turns out to be elder brother!"

Hearing Fu Xi’s voice, Nuwa immediately awoke from her enlightenment: "Elder brother is not in Fire Cloud Cave cultivating, what brings you to my Taixu Heaven?"

As for Xuanqing, after a glance, he was selectively ignored by her!

"It’s a long story!"

Fu Xi sighed lightly and then spoke about Zhuanxu and Jiufeng’s matter, hoping Nuwa would pay attention to prevent them from being manipulated by those with ulterior motives.

"Is that so?"

Nuwa was also shocked.

The ability of Fu Xi to deduce heavenly secrets, maybe not the first in Primordial, but those stronger than him definitely did not exceed the number of five fingers.

After thinking, she immediately took out a Top Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure: "This is the Treasure Lotus Lamp, invulnerable to all disasters. Elder brother, you can lend it to Zhuanxu for protection! It also contains one of my Divine Thoughts, enough to ensure his life safety!"

Although she is a Heavenly Dao Saint, since Earth Dao became a variable in Primordial, the future she could see also became unclear.

Therefore, she could only prepare in advance and lend the Spiritual Treasure to Zhuanxu for protection.

"That’s all we can do!"

Fu Xi took the "Treasure Lotus Lamp" and then sighed softly: "This concerns the future of the Human and Witch Clans, and Zhuanxu is also the direct grandson of Daoist Xuanyuan. With this Top Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure for protection, I can be somewhat relieved!"

"By the way!"

"The creatures in Taixu Heaven, their cultivation is not easy, you should not torment them too much!"

Remembering those creatures in Taixu Heaven with big bellies, Fu Xi still pleaded with Nuwa, but that was all he could do.

"I understand!"

Upon hearing this, Nuwa immediately nodded and then looked towards Xuanqing: "Xuanqing, since you are here, accompany this palace in experimenting and understanding the Creation Great Dao!"

"Ah?"

Xuanqing immediately pushed Fu Xi in front of him: "Lady, this disciple’s cultivation is too weak, I’m afraid I’m unable to meet the demands. Please find Great God Fu Xi instead!"

Fu Xi’s mouth twitched slightly, so it’s Daoist when it’s convenient and Great God when it’s troublesome, huh!

"It must be you!"

Nuwa’s face suddenly revealed a meaningful smile: "You say it, right? Little Moon God! You don’t want certain things to be known by everyone, do you?"

Fu Xi was confused.

But Xuanqing, however, trembled and said: "Whatever Lady says, it shall be so!"

He always thought he had hidden it well, but never expected that Nuwa had long discovered that the so-called Moon God was his alias in the Demon Realm!

"I’ll take my leave then!"

Fu Xi, unconcerned, nodded to both and then left Taixu Heaven directly.

Lady Nuwa leisurely watched Xuanqing: "When you transformed into a female appearance, you looked much more pleasing than your current look! How about I use the Creation Skill to reforge you?"

"No! No! No!"

Xuanqing hurriedly waved his hands, his head shaking like a rattle drum: "I dare not bother Lady, this disciple is very satisfied with his current appearance!"

"Hmph!"

Nuwa, upon hearing this, snorted coldly, then spoke with a smile yet not a smile: "You were quite brave, weren’t you? Otherwise, why would you dare to depose the Demon Ancestor right from the start, and even claim to divide the luck of the Demon Path?"

Xuanqing laughed awkwardly: "Disciple was just at the mercy of fate! Not comparable to Lady, who almost plucked the essence of the entire Demon Realm! Compared to Lady, a disciple is like a firefly to the bright moon! I just don’t know... Lady specially kept this disciple behind, is there any teaching you wish to impart?"

"Not exactly a teaching!" Nuwa replied, shaking her head: "I’m just curious, how did you come up with such a bizarre Divine Skill? Besides the Creation Skill, it seems to also contain a trace of the Swallowing Great Dao, swiftly absorbing essence and causing those hit by the Divine Skill to directly form an embryo inside their bodies!"

"Just a coincidence!"

Xuanqing carefully said: "This trivial skill of the disciple is nothing in front of Lady!"

He glanced at the large stone at Wa Palace’s entrance and the Spiritual Pearls floating in the void: "At least, this disciple does not possess the skill to endow inanimate objects with life!"

At the same time, a bold thought surfaced in his mind: could it be that the stone and Spiritual Pearls in Wa Palace are the future Sun Wukong and Nezha?
