Chapter 537 - 537 556 Nuwa Dharma Decree

537: Chapter 556 Nuwa Dharma Decree 537: Chapter 556 Nuwa Dharma Decree Saint!

The simple two words fell upon the heart of Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden like the eternal Divine Mountain, making it hard for her to breathe.

Because the words “Saint” were too heavy, even though Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden was a disciple of Nuwa, she had to hold a devout heart towards Nuwa and harbored great reverence for Saints.

If it were true as Nuwa said, Ye Xuan might be the seventh Heavenly Determined Saint, Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden felt that marrying Ye Xuan could indeed be her greatest fortune.

“Master, if he truly is the Heavenly Determined Saint, your disciple is willing to marry him.”

Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden remained silent for a long time, and when she looked up at Nuwa, her gaze was intensely resolute, her eyes reflecting an indescribable gleam.

“Ah!”

Nuwa, enveloped in chaotic aura, let out a long sigh and said, “Although you can marry him, as your teacher, I have divined your marital fate with him.

Ye Xuan follows the Heartless Dao, and if he steps into the Quasi-Saint Realm, the first to slay the Good Corpse, the first person he might kill could be you.

You would then be deeply trapped in emotional calamity, forever unable to transcend.”

Even though Nuwa was a Saint, she harbored kindness and compassion.

Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden was her disciple, and she did not wish for her to become a stepping stone for Ye Xuan.

Heartless to the six desires, heartless to heaven and earth, Ye Xuan walked a path of slaughter and bloodshed.

Throughout his journey, relatives and friends were all buried in the ground, leaving behind only grave after grave.

To prove his Dao by killing his wife, heartless heaven and earth.

These eight words were cruel beyond measure.

Being a Saint, Nuwa might not be able to see Ye Xuan’s future, but she was crystal clear about the Dao he cultivated.

Ye Xuan was now a Daluo Golden Immortal, and if he entered the Quasi-Saint Realm, he would look forward to the seventh Saint Position between Heaven and Earth, and his cultivation of the Heartless Dao would also reach Great Success.

To prove his Dao by killing his wife was not impossible.

Thinking of this outcome, Nuwa slightly frowned and could only sigh.

“Master, he has already defiled your disciple’s pure body, and I am unable to kill him.

Naturally, I have no choice but to marry him.

Even if he is my emotional calamity, I will surely cut through it until I step into the Quasi-Saint Realm,” declared Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden, her voice ringing with determination.

“Since you have made up your mind, I have nothing further to say.

However, you are a disciple of the Nuwa Palace, and if you marry him rashly, it’d let him underestimate our Nuwa Palace,” Nuwa said softly.

“Master, what do you mean?” asked Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden.

“Whether Ye Xuan is the seventh Heavenly Determined Saint is only a guess of mine.

A hundred years from now I will issue a Dharma Decree, inviting talents into the Nuwa Palace to seek your hand in marriage.

If he truly is the Heavenly Determined Saint, he will undoubtedly defeat all formidable foes, and then you can marry him.”

After a brief pause, the chaotic aura around Nuwa intensified, and she spoke in a whisper, “If he is not the Heavenly Determined Saint, and perishes at the hands of others, then there is no need for you to marry him.”

Clearly, Saint Nuwa also had her own considerations.

Although she suspected Ye Xuan was the Heavenly Determined Saint, it was still merely a guess.

If Ye Xuan could rise above all and defeat all enemies, that would further prove him as the heaven-appointed.

If Ye Xuan were to die in the Nuwa Palace, that would also ease one of Nuwa’s worries—it was indeed a plan that killed two birds with one stone.

“Your Majesty, Zhen Yuanzi requests an audience outside the hall,” a palace maid entered the Nuwa Palace gracefully, bowed, and reported.

“Disciple, I will take my leave now.

Everything is in the hands of the Master.”

Zhen Yuanzi’s arrival naturally made Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden aware of his intentions, prompting her to rise and leave the Nuwa Palace, leaving everything to be managed by Saint Nuwa.

“Let him in,” Nuwa wasn’t surprised by Zhen Yuanzi’s arrival and her voice was especially soft.

Soon.

Led by a palace maid, Zhen Yuanzi walked leisurely into Nuwa Palace, holding a horsetail whisk and smiling.

Even in the presence of Nuwa, he didn’t feel greatly constrained.

“Poor Daoist pays respects to Daoist Nuwa,” Zhen Yuanzi performed a Taoist salute, his attitude neither proud nor humble.

“Zhen Yuanzi, by scheming with Mysterious Maiden to aid Ye Xuan in breaking through his cultivation shackles, do you not take me into account?” Nuwa’s voice remained even, but the chaotic aura around subtly steamed up filling the entire Nuwa Palace with an unimaginable Saintly Might, causing Zhen Yuanzi’s complexion to pale and his steps to retreat three paces.

Clearly, the might of a Saint was too terrifying; although Zhen Yuanzi was revered as the Ancestor of Earth Immortals and was placed among the Quasi-Saints, facing the real Saint Nuwa, he felt pressure as enormous as the sky and the ground.

Hum!

Immortal Light fluttered around, an Earth Book appeared, an ancient book suppressing mountains and rivers and reversing past and present, it quietly appeared in Zhen Yuanzi’s hands, helping him easily separate himself from the Saintly Might.

“Why must Daoist Nuwa feign indignation?”

Zhen Yuanzi slightly smiled and said, “You, as a Heavenly Determined Saint, must have long calculated the good fate between Mysterious Maiden and Ye Xuan.

Poor Daoist merely helped push the boat along with the current, forming a good bond with Ye Xuan.

Why should you condemn me?”

“Indeed a Zhen Yuanzi worthy of being the Ancestor of Earth Immortals,” Nuwa’s Saintly Might retracted, her gaze towards Zhen Yuanzi showing a hint of appreciation.

It’s known that after Pangu opened the heavens, many creatures emerged in the Primordial Heaven and Earth.

Legend says Zhen Yuanzi’s original self was transformed from an Innate Spirit Root, having lived longer than Nuwa herself, one of the first beings since the creation of heaven and earth.

Even though Nuwa is a Saint, she could only address Zhen Yuanzi as a Daoist counterpart.

“Daoist Nuwa must know the purpose of my visit.

Since Ye Xuan and Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden share this good fate, I ask you to fulfill this.”

“A hundred years from now, Nuwa Palace will invite talents from the Three Realms; any capable heroes can come to Nuwa Palace.

Whoever can defeat all others and stand alone at the top will be eligible to take Mysterious Maiden as his wife,” Nuwa spoke calmly.

“Great kindness!”

Zhen Yuanzi performed another Taoist salute, his face showing no dissatisfaction as he quietly turned to walk out of the Nuwa Palace.

At this moment!

Nuwa Palace was enveloped in silence, only Saint Nuwa seated in chaotic void; as her eyes opened and shut, strands of Chaotic Golden Light burst forth.

Watching Zhen Yuanzi’s departing figure, a trace of doubt flickered in her eyes.

“With Pangu opening the heavens and Hong Jun teaching the Dao, this Immortal Zhen Yuan, living to this day, without contending with others or seizing from them, even at the Zixiao Palace’s Daoist teachings showed no slight desire for the Saint Position.

Could it be that Zhen Yuanzi truly has no desires?”

Nuwa murmured, the Chaotic Golden Light gently blooming.

Although she was a Saint, she was not omniscient nor omnipotent, and she always found it hard to see through the intentions of this genuinely good person, Zhen Yuanzi.

…

Above the Nine Heavens, through the clouds that spanned thousands of miles.

Zhen Yuanzi traveled on clouds, every step he took spanned hundreds of thousands of miles, his Daoist Magical Powers too mysterious and too terrifying to be perceived in the natural world.
