And Yuan Feng, with the aid of this world, reestablished contact with the Phoenix Clan.

"Sister!"

Ling Guang, Mysterious Bird, and the others were all very excited. Yuan Feng’s return, along with her attainment of Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, brought waves of jubilation among the cultivators of the Phoenix Clan.

With a Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal at the helm, the Phoenix Clan was no longer an easy target for oppression, and shedding the Heavenly Dao Chains that bound them was within reach.

However, Yuan Feng didn’t look overjoyed as she gazed upon everyone.

In the Primordial World, there were several Saints, and it was no longer the era when the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans ruled everything. She knew that Xuanqing had occupied the Undying Volcano, but with her current strength, she still was no match for him.

Moreover, that she was able to achieve Nirvana was largely thanks to Xuanqing’s "Mother-child Creation Divine Light." This Divine Power infused with Creation Power kindled her "Nirvana Fire," allowing her to break free from the state of neither living nor dead.

From this point of view, she invisibly owed Xuanqing a tremendous karmic debt.

Had she not succeeded in her Nirvana, even if she had been caught in the chaos currents of the void and encountered the Great Immortal Yang Mei, she probably wouldn’t have had the chance to become a Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal.

There is an inevitability set by fate.

The Phoenix Clan, because of the Roc’s affairs, had formed an inextricable karmic entanglement with Xuanqing, and later, Kong Xuan went to seek revenge and also fell at Xuanqing’s hand due to inferior abilities.

After several confrontations, the Phoenix Clan repeatedly suffered losses at the hands of Xuanqing.

In the end, they even lost their ancestral land!

But fortune is fickle, and she ignited the "Nirvana Fire" thanks to Xuanqing.

Yuan Feng instructed Mysterious Bird to migrate a portion of the clan to the world opened up by the Great Immortal Yang Mei.

Now, she and the Great Immortal Yang Mei could be said to be in the same boat, sharing a common destiny. Without his help in the chaos, how could she ever have had the chance to become a Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal?

And if she wanted to establish herself in the Primordial World, the Great Immortal Yang Mei was her greatest reliance.

She could only follow this path to the end!

On the other side, after Jieyin and others left, Taiching and others also returned to Shouyang Mountain.

However, the battle above the East Sea between the six Saints and several dozen Great Divine Ability possessors still impacted the Water Element Great Dao of the Returning Ruins and the Primordial World.

Within the East Sea, countless underwater mountains shifted, and the Fire Evil Qi erupted from the Earth’s depths, disrupting the Water Element Cycle that regularly occurred in nature due to the Saints’ Divine Powers.

Across the Primordial World, torrential rain poured down, and the water levels of the Four Seas in the east, south, west, and north began to rise incessantly.

At first, no one paid much attention, but after seeing the relentless downpour for a year with no signs of stopping, the mighty beings of the Primordial World began to worry.

The torrential rain didn’t really affect the Great Divine Ability possessors.

Those affected were the ordinary creatures, especially the widespread Human Race in the Primordial World.

The number of humans was too vast. Even with Shennong passing down the Agricultural Dao, and Xuanyuan and Li Tan passing down Martial Arts, the number of humans who could enter the path of cultivation was extremely scarce.

Fu Xi and others would not sit idly by; they immediately used various means trying to eliminate the torrential rain.

Unfortunately, the root of the problem was the disruption to the Primordial World’s Water Element Cycle. Although they could mitigate the immediate effects with their Divine Powers, it was not a fundamental solution.

Fu Xi had no choice but to seek counsel with the Saint Taiching on how to restore the Water Element Cycle in the Primordial World.

"It is the will of Heaven!"

Taiching Laozi shook his head: "This is the self-correction of the trend of the Heavenly Dao. It aims to control the population of the creatures in the Primordial World. This disaster cannot be avoided. As a Heavenly Dao Saint, it would be improper for me to intervene in this matter!"

In the original trend of the Heavenly Dao, when Buzhou Mountain collapsed, and the water from the Heavenly River fell into the mortal world, it would create problems for the Primordial World’s Water Element Great Dao.

Then, it would erupt after several dozen aeons.

While Xuanqing’s intervention had erased the impending calamity, the self-healing ability of the trend of the Heavenly Dao was not a joke. As long as the number of creatures in the Primordial World exceeded a certain threshold, the Heavenly Dao would descend calamities.

Moreover, not too long ago, Kunpeng became a Daoist, and the Human Dao emerged from behind the scenes, so the Heavenly Dao naturally wanted to issue a warning to those of the Human Dao.

The Earth Dao also approved of this.

They hoped that through this sweeping disaster across the Primordial World, the Human Dao would become more restrained, and at the same time, the creatures of the Primordial World would learn to fear and revere nature.

However, Taiching also gave Fu Xi some hints.

"Cataclysms, too, are opportunities!"

"This cataclysm sweeping through the Primordial World, will surely see the birth of those destined to weather the storm."

"As the pivotal race of heaven and earth, the individuals predestined to counter the calamity will most likely emerge from the Human Race!"

"Moreover, should the forces of Heaven and Earth oppress the beings of the Primordial World and the Human Dao too harshly, it might just cause the Human Dao of the Primordial to hit rock bottom and rebound, granting the opportunity to become Saints!"

Taiching Laozi knew that Fu Xi, bearing the destiny of both the Human and Demon Clans, and having good relations with the Dragon Clan, was a very hopeful candidate to become the next Saint of the Human Dao.

In addition, Fu Xi had the merit of enlightenment and could completely replicate the path of that fellow Kunpeng.

Now, being the Human Emperor of the Human Race and also the Eastern Azure Emperor among the Five Heavenly Emperors, Fu Xi, with Infinite Destiny upon him, and with Nuwa in possession of the Evil Summoning Banner — once the Divine Banner is raised, ten thousand demons bow their heads — along with the karma of his former life as Emperor Xi of the Demon Clan, gathering the destiny of both Humans and Demons wouldn’t be difficult.

Apart from Kunpeng, in the Primordial, the one most likely to become the Saint of the Human Dao is undoubtedly Nuwa. However, Nuwa is already a Heavenly Dao Saint, a Creation Demon God, inheritor of Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun’s Chaos Demon Gods’ Dao Fruit.

Therefore, the one most likely to become the next Saint of the Human Dao now is Fu Xi, who bears Infinite Destiny.

Taiching Laozi is also willing to lend his support.

After all...

Originally Fu Xi was reincarnated into the Human Race; Xuan Dou took him as a disciple for his master, entwining him with Taiching Laozi in a teacher-student karmic relationship; Fu Xi could also be considered a half-disciple of the Human Sect.

Should Fu Xi become the Saint of the Human Dao, it would bring unimaginable benefits to the Human Sect, the Human Race, Taiching Laozi, and to the stratagem of The Three Pure Ones.

The Three Pure Ones have always advanced and retreated together, with Tai Xuan and Xuanqing as their allies in the same camp. Nuwa, as Fu Xi’s sister, is even more eager for him to achieve Dao.

This constitutes the support of six Saints.

Additionally, Kunpeng, who has just become the Saint of the Human Dao, also has some rapport with Fu Xi, and the Human Dao needs a second Saint to bolster the essence of the Human Dao.

Watching Fu Xi’s departing silhouette, Taiching Laozi couldn’t help but show a faint smile: "Water benefits all things without contention, and no creature can contend with it!"

Heavenly timing, geographical convenience, and harmonious human relations—all are present in Fu Xi. Destiny, Merit, prestige—none falls short, and all he lacks now is an opportunity!

Even, if he could assist Fu Xi in achieving Dao, Nuwa would owe him a favor, and he could take the opportunity to involve Nuwa in their plans.

This is also the reason why, even though he is aware of the intention of Heavenly Dao, he still lets things take their natural course.

"Water Element Great Dao!"

Fu Xi traveled through the Primordial, perceiving the rules of the Primordial World, where myriad watercourses appeared clearly before his eyes, like meridians.

He knew that to resolve this crisis, he had to start from two aspects. One was to divert the excess Water Element Power in the Primordial World into the Four Seas.

The other was to resolve the hidden danger of the Returning Ruins, to restore the Water Element Cycle of the Primordial World to its original state.

The first point was not a difficult task for him, but if the second issue remained unresolved, all his efforts would be in vain.

"Let’s resolve the issue of the Returning Ruins first!"

From Taiching Laozi, he learned that a person destined to face the trial will be born within the Human Race, to resolve the water calamity of the Human Race. That individual is very likely to be the eighth Human Emperor.

Being the Human Emperor himself, Fu Xi naturally would not contend for the opportunity with a junior of the Human Race.

His sights are set on the Returning Ruins; as long as he could thoroughly alleviate the crisis of the Returning Ruins, he believed all beings of the Primordial would owe him a favor.

At that time, with the convergence of many willing powers and the recognition by the will of the Human Dao, wouldn’t it be as natural as the flow of water?

Taiching Laozi had already illuminated the path for him.

This disaster is also a trial by Heavenly Dao and Earth Dao on the Human Dao, where the Saints are reluctant to intervene, including his sister Nuwa.

But there are two exceptions. One is the Human Dao Saint Kunpeng, and the other is Xuanqing, who is entangled with him in endless karma.

The former, being the Saint of the Human Dao, shares the triumphs and tribulations of the Human Dao and naturally hopes for the emergence of more Saints within the Human Dao.

As for the latter, although a member of the Xuan Sect, he is not a Saint of any particular Dao, but a Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal with many mysterious techniques.

Not long ago, Xuanqing resolved the crisis of the Undying Volcano, transforming this forbidden land of the Primordial into the "Eternal Furnace" that could convert Innate Spiritual Energy.

Besides, the Returning Ruins and the Undying Volcano, one Yin and one Yang, are closely interrelated and subtly in accordance with the Yin Yang Dao of heaven and earth—they can perfectly reference each other.

With the assistance of Kunpeng and Xuanqing, and the observance of several Heavenly Dao Saints from afar, he might very well seize the second Saint Dao Fruit of the Human Dao.
