Chapter 422: Chapter 110: Nuwa Falls, Shennong’s Anger

During the years of Ji Xuan Yuan’s growth, Emperor Shennong, as the ruler of the Human Clan, did not slacken his oversight of the human race.

Over these years, Shennong spread his medical knowledge across the entire Human Clan, enabling them to prevent some diseases themselves. Thus, the lifespan of the Huaxia people was well safeguarded.

Furthermore, guided by the signals from Li Qingming, the Dragon Clan bestowed gentle rain upon the farming seasons every year, ensuring favorable weather for the crops and a bountiful harvest of the Five Grains!

Under such effective governance, the splendid civilization of Huaxia began to slowly emerge!

One day, while Shennong was discussing agricultural issues with a group of elders in Chen Capital, a sudden thunderclap roared in the sky, and a torrential downpour ensued.

Although natural disasters occasionally struck the lands of Huaxia, there were Fu Xi’s Eight Diagrams before and Shennong’s Divine Calculation afterward. Each time a disaster struck, Shennong was always able to predict it in advance, thus allowing the Human Clan to avoid calamity. The Holy City, Chen Capital, had never experienced such heavy rain before.

"Thump! Thump!"

Suddenly, seated on his throne, Shennong’s heart rate surged dramatically, an inexplicable palpitation swiftly appearing in his heart.

He furrowed his brows, his right hand quickly performing calculations, his fingertips swirling with rich Yuqing True Essence,

"My child!" After a long while, Shennong suddenly cried out in sorrow, his figure flashing out, appearing above the East Sea, and tears immediately streaming down like a bursting spring.

Above the East Sea, a beautiful little red bird, kept calling out. She gathered wood and stones from distant mountains, clutching them in her claws and dropping them into the East Sea. Her eyes were determined, seemingly resolved not to stop until the East Sea was filled.

Looking at the bird in the sky, Shennong, overwhelmed by great sorrow, was also filled with intense rage: "Elder Ao Guang, your Dragon Clan is under the protection of my Penglai Sect, how dare you deceive me like this!"

His angry roar shook Heaven and Earth. Since ascending as the Emperor of Humans, Shennong had been gentle and simple, when had he ever been so angry?

Who was the little bird? What caused Shennong to become so enraged?

This story begins some years prior.

Since Shennong had divined over ten years ago that the successor to the Emperor of Humans was born, he immersed himself in the development of the Human Clan without daring to slacken. This also made his reputation within the clan soar.

At that moment, Shennong was still unmarried. As the saying goes, among the three unfilial acts, not producing heirs is the greatest.

Thus, his mother, Nu Deng took charge, choosing for him a wife from a sincere family within the Yan Clan by the Red River. Following were the rituals and the proper, formal marriage.

The following year, Shennong’s wife bore him a daughter. Shennong was overjoyed, for the child was born pink and adorable, and he named her Nuwa.

Shennong, busy with affairs within the clan, had no time to educate Nuwa. Fortunately, Nuwa was smart from a young age; though somewhat naughty, she never caused any trouble for her family.

Concerned for Nuwa’s safety, although without Li Qingming’s consent, Shennong still imparted to her some basic cultivation methods and the lowest level of Yuqing Immortal Skill, and gave her the Innate Spiritual Treasure Sun and Moon Pearl that his master, Li Qingming, had bestowed upon him for protection.

Thus, the nine-year-old Nuwa, although only at the Refining God to Void cultivation level, was not at a disadvantage even against a Golden Immortal.

One day, feeling bored and stuffy at home, Nuwa told her family and then, riding the Sun and Moon Pearl, left the tribe and headed to the East Sea Coast.

This place was the ancestral land of the Human Clan, not too far from Chen Capital. More importantly, the Eight Ancestors of the Human Clan were cultivating here.

Nuwa had grown up listening to stories about these ancestors, so she wanted to meet them.

However, when she reached the East Sea Coast, she found it was not as she expected. The entire coast was desolate, with no trace of any ancestral lands or tribal presence.

Little did she know, since the Human Clan had become the protagonists of the Primordial era, except for the Ran Ji tribe who remained to guard the ancestral land on the coast of the East Sea, the rest of the Human Clan had migrated to the inland of Primordial.

Li Qingming personally took action and concealed the entire ancestral land along the East Sea Coast. Unless recognized by a member of the Ran Ji lineage or possessing the cultivation of a Saint, one would never discover and enter the Human Ancestral Land.

Nuwa, unable to meet the Human Ancestor and feeling somewhat frustrated, directly summoned the Sun and Moon Pearl and furiously bombarded the surface of the waters of the East Sea, as if holding a grudge against the waters themselves.

The Sun and Moon Pearl, being an Innate Spiritual Treasure, possessed great power. Despite Nuwa only having the cultivation level of Refining God to Void, it still caused devastating casualties among the Water Clan close to the shore.

Suddenly, circles of piercing red blood spread across the ocean’s surface, and countless water clan members with their bellies white slowly floated up.

Just as Nuwa was taken aback, intending to stop, a golden five-clawed Divine Dragon suddenly emerged from the sea.

Nuwa retracted the Sun and Moon Pearl, blinked her big eyes with interest, and gazed at this Dragon Clan member she had never seen before.

The giant dragon, seeing the water surface dyed red with fresh blood and countless dead bodies of the Water Clan, immediately flew into a rage. It soared up and shouted loudly: "Nuwa, did you slaughter all these Water Clan members?"

Nuwa, still a nine-year-old child, although the fault was hers to begin with, felt secretly annoyed by the dragon’s rudeness. She replied, "So what if it was me?"

"Very well, as long as you admit it! Now come with me to the Dragon Palace to apologize, and I will let you go. Otherwise, do not blame me for being ruthless!" Despite its fearsome appearance, the giant dragon spoke somewhat reasonably.

Nuwa’s small body trembled, confronting those large dragon eyes, "I, I am the daughter of Emperor Shennong! You, you can’t treat me this way!"

"Hmph, even if Emperor Shennong himself were here, I, Ao Bing, would do the same!" It turned out this giant dragon was Ao Bing, the Third Prince of the Dragon Palace of the East Sea.

"Hmph! I’ll go back and have my father come and deal with you!" Knowing she had caused a disaster, Nuwa wanted to immediately return to her clan and have her father, Shennong, handle the situation.

Ao Bing, furious beyond measure, his Dragon Claw shot towards Nuwa, roaring, "You should still come back to the Dragon Palace with me first!"

"Whoosh!"

The Dragon Claw broke through the sky.

With a heart full of fear, Nuwa suddenly summoned a trace of courage from nowhere, gathering all her True Yuan and channeling it into the Sun and Moon Pearl.

"Boom!"

The Sun and Moon Pearl suddenly enlarged, smashing towards the Dragon Claw.

"Bang!"

A loud boom resounded through the skies. For a moment, gunpowder smoke and water mist filled the air.

After that incident, Ao Bing advanced to the realm of a Daluo Golden Immortal. Naturally, the blow from the Sun and Moon Pearl could not harm him at all.

But Nuwa was directly blown away by the backlash to the distant sea, where she lay completely drained of strength, unable to summon any True Yuan to protect herself.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Nuwa was breathless, sinking like a stone into the sea.

Ao Bing, having just come to his senses, was shocked and hurriedly flew over to investigate; he hadn’t intended for Nuwa to die, merely to teach her a lesson.

Just as Ao Bing was about to rescue Nuwa, from the same spot where Nuwa had sunk, a three-foot tall bird with a yellow claw and a white beak emerged, its whole body red, emitting continuous mournful cries. It was indeed the transformed Essence Soul of Nuwa, now the Jingwei Bird.

Ao Bing gave a bitter smile, exhaled Xuan Ice to freeze Nuwa’s body, and took this block of Xuan Ice back to the Dragon Palace of the East Sea.

Just after Ao Bing left, the previously clear sky suddenly turned stormy, with a bleak wind and harsh rain sweeping in!
