After Taishang and the other two joined Taiyi, they came to the Wu Clan again!
Seeing the arrival of the Sanqing, all the witches immediately knelt down and said:
"Greetings, Saints of Sanqing!"
Taishang waved the whisk in his hand, stopping the crowd from kneeling, and said:
"Everyone, no need to be so polite!"
Di Jiang looked at the Sanqing and said:
"We brothers and sisters are all descendants of Pangu, just like the three of you!"
Taishang said:
"Everyone, things have come to this point, and there's no use in saying more. You should find a way to earn Heavenly Merit to offset the sins of the Wu Clan! Otherwise, the Wu Clan may not be able to survive in this world!"
Di Jiang sighed and said:
"The Wu Clan has committed such a great transgression. We no longer have hope of continuing to survive in the Primordial World!"
Yuanshi frowned upon hearing this and said:
"Do you intend to abandon your homes and go to the Chaos?"
Di Jiang nodded and said:
"The Wu Clan has committed such a great transgression. As descendants of Pangu, I fear that Heaven's Way will not tolerate us!"
Yuanshi said:
"But in the Chaos, apart from the twelve Ancestral Witches, the rest of the Wu Clan may not be able to survive. Why don't you take a Heavenly Oath like Zu Long and Yuan Feng, and exchange merit to offset the sins of your Wu Clan!"
Di Jiang gave a bitter smile and said:
"If we could do that, why would we be forced to this point? This is the world opened up by Father God, and we are naturally reluctant to leave. However, there is nowhere left in the Primordial World that needs us to suppress!"
Taishang pondered for a moment and then said:
"I do have a method to help the Wu Clan earn a lot of Heavenly Merit and offset the sins of the Wu-Yao War!"
The Ancestral Witches' eyes lit up, and they said:
"Please, fellow Daoist Taishang, show us the way!"
Taishang nodded and said:
"Everyone, how about we discuss this in detail after returning to Kunlun? We are still waiting for fellow Daoist Nuwa to mend the heavens!"
Di Jiang nodded and said:
"Then we will trouble Saint Taiqing to find a way for my Wu Clan to survive!"
Taishang nodded and led Yuanshi and Tongtian out of the Taiji Diagram!
After the Sanqing left, Zhu Jiuyin said:
"Big Brother, do you really think Saint Taiqing has a way to find a way for my Wu Clan to survive? We are still indebted to Heavenly Way with great karma!"
Di Jiang nodded and said:
"A saint would not lie to us. As fellow descendants of Pangu, he has no reason to deceive us!"
Zhu Jiuyin nodded and said:
"Big Brother is right!"
After the three of Taishang came out, Yuanshi looked at Taishang doubtfully and said:
"Big Brother, do you really have a way to offset the sins of the Wu Clan?"
Taishang nodded and said:
"Yes, I've been trying to figure out how to remove the sins from Taiyi without harming Taiyi. After much thought, I've actually come up with a feasible method!"
Yuanshi's eyes lit up, and he said:
"Big Brother, what method is it?"
Taishang looked at Yuanshi's eager gaze and chuckled:
"Look, look, you get anxious as soon as your precious disciple is mentioned?"
Tongtian laughed upon hearing this:
"Big Brother, don't tease Second Brother. I also want to know what good method Big Brother has!"
Taishang shook his head and said:
"Let's wait for fellow Daoist Nuwa to return and mend this hole first. I've only had an idea, and we'll discuss it in detail after returning to Kunlun. Moreover, I'll need the help of Second and Third Brothers!"
Yuanshi and Tongtian could only nod and didn't ask further!
At this time, Nuwa also returned. Upon her return, Nuwa directly took out the Qiankun Ding and placed all the five-colored stones she had collected into it for refining!
Seeing that the five-colored stones in the Qiankun Ding had softened, Nuwa waved her hand, and all the five-colored stones flew into the air, forming a large five-colored pancake!
Nuwa looked at Taishang, who nodded and retracted the Taiji Diagram. Seeing this, Nuwa immediately raised the large five-colored pancake and flew towards the hole!
The five-colored pancake grew rapidly in Nuwa's hands. By the time it reached the hole, it was as large as the hole itself.
Nuwa held the large pancake and pressed it against the hole. Then, a seven-colored auspicious light flashed from her hand, and the five-colored pancake slowly transformed into "Origin Heaven" and merged with the sky!
Nuwa operated the Great Dao of Creation to its extreme, and the five-colored pancake slowly disappeared in Nuwa's hands!
Just as the five-colored pancake was about to completely disappear, a five-colored stone suddenly fell from it. Nuwa muttered to herself:
"I didn't expect to find an extra five-colored stone!"
Nuwa looked at the fallen five-colored stone and didn't pay much attention to it, assuming it went back to where it came from!
Nuwa gently flicked the five-colored stone, and it disappeared into the distance!
The five-colored pancake completely merged with the sky, with no trace of breakage visible!
After Nuwa mended the hole, she returned to the ground and returned the Qiankun Ding to Yuanshi, saying:
"Thank you, fellow Daoist, for lending me the Qiankun Ding!"
Yuanshi took back the Qiankun Ding and was about to speak when he saw a large expanse of merit and virtue auspicious clouds gathering above them. The voice of Heavenly Way resounded throughout the Primordial World:
"Nuwa has made meritorious contributions by mending the heavens, and now Heavenly Merit is specially bestowed!"
After saying that, a large amount of Heavenly Merit descended from the auspicious clouds. Most of the merit went towards Nuwa, a portion merged into Yuanshi's Qiankun Ding, and a small portion went into the distance!
Nuwa saw this and knew that the merit belonged to the fallen five-colored stone!
After Nuwa absorbed the merit, the Sanqing stepped forward and offered congratulations:
"Congratulations, fellow Daoist Nuwa!"
Just as Nuwa was about to reply, the voice of Heavenly Way resounded again between heaven and earth:
"Sanqing has made contributions to heaven and earth, and a Heavenly Sweet Rain will be specially bestowed on Kunlun Mountain, the dojo of Sanqing, seven days later!"
The beings in the Primordial World were puzzled when they heard the voice of Heavenly Way, not knowing what this "Heavenly Sweet Rain" was. They had never encountered it before!
Upon hearing this voice, Taishang was overjoyed. This "Heavenly Sweet Rain" was transformed from the origin of heaven and earth, and it could nourish the spiritual脉 of Kunlun Mountain and all things. Perhaps it could even elevate the spiritual脈 of Kunlun to a higher level! This was much better than Heavenly Merit!
After all, he was not a Heavenly Saint, and Heavenly Merit had little use for him!
Originally, Taishang thought he had only incurred a favor from Heavenly Way by helping it this time, but he didn't expect such an unexpected surprise!
After the voice of Heavenly Way faded, Nuwa also cupped her hands in congratulation to the three, "Heavenly Sweet Rain" was something Nuwa, as a saint, would certainly know about, even if others didn't!
The Sanqing returned the courtesy and said:
"We are all happy!"
The Sanqing thought Nuwa would return to Wa Huang Palace, but Nuwa spoke:
"Fellow Daoist Taishang, the Wu and Yao clans destroyed Buzhou Mountain. How do you plan to deal with the people of the Wu and Yao clans?"
Nuwa believed that Buzhou Mountain was formed from Pangu's spine, and both the Sanqing and the Twelve Ancestral Witches claimed to be descendants of Pangu. Now that Buzhou Mountain was destroyed, Nuwa was worried about Fuxi!
Taishang heard this and said:
"Don't worry, fellow Daoist Nuwa. There's no need for 'dealing with them.' I believe Heavenly Way has already begun to act. It's just that they are within my Taiji Diagram, so it hasn't manifested on them yet. Let's go back to Kunlun to discuss this. After all, you wouldn't want to see fellow Daoist Fuxi expelled from the Primordial World, would you!"
Nuwa nodded and decided to return to Kunlun Mountain with the Sanqing!
As the four were about to leave, Yuanshi suddenly walked towards the site where Buzhou Mountain had collapsed!
After Yuanshi collected a large piece of debris, he said:
"Let's go, we're returning to Kunlun!"
