In The Primal Chaos, My identity Was Exposed By The Heavens - Chapter 56

Chapter 56: Nuwa seeks the way, Styx reaches Buzhou Mountain

In the arena, the most anxious individual was the Yaozu. However, Emperor Jun and Donghuang Taiyi directed their attention towards Ye Xiu. Their expressions turned serious, and a sense of unease filled their hearts. They knew the Ancestor Witch and Queen Soil were direct disciples of Ye Xiu’s sect. Otherwise, Ye Xiu, who usually lives in seclusion in Buzhou Mountain and cherishes purity, wouldn’t have come here to resolve the crisis for the Twelve Ancestral Witches. The whereabouts of Ancestor Hongjun were unknown, and the pivotal figure who could oversee the situation or turn it around was Ye Xiu. His methods were apparent to all, on par with Hongjun, and even Hongjun respected him as a Taoist, showcasing his clear status and influence.

If Ye Xiu chose to protect Houtu and side with the Twelve Ancestral Witches, it would mean the destruction of their demon clan, Heavenly Court, today. With various thoughts in mind, Ye Xiu eventually spoke, gazing at the two lich clans and calmly declaring, “Henceforth, the demons shall govern the skies, and the witches shall oversee the land. After the Yuanhui, no further wars shall be waged…”

His words were straightforward, yet every word exuded a sacred majesty that left people in awe. As his voice trailed off, an array of supreme auras emerged, incomparable and filling the air.

Silence engulfed the onlookers, and a pin drop could be heard. Both the Witch Clan and the Monster Clan exhibited expressions of astonishment. Even Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi were momentarily surprised but soon appeared uplifted. They couldn’t believe Ye Xiu’s impartiality. He was akin to a saint or ancient sage. In an instant, Emperor Jun, Donghuang Taiyi, and the monster clan deeply respected Ye Xiu.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches, although reluctant, had to accept this outcome and follow Ye Xiu’s wishes. Previously, had it been Hongjun’s decision, they would have resisted vehemently, even fighting to the end. Stubborn and unyielding—that’s the spirit of the Wu clan.

In a few words, Ye Xiu concluded the First Lich War. “Remember Tao Zun’s decree!” resounded like a thunderclap. The armies of both tribes withdrew, with the Demon tribe taking control of the Thirty-Three Heavens and the Witch tribe overseeing the primordial land. From then on, the two tribes maintained peaceful coexistence, with any further conflicts forbidden within this era.

Ye Xiu’s name resonated throughout the primordial chaos, known to countless beings. On Mount Buzhou, a peerless Primordial powerhouse stood, on par with Ancestor Hongjun himself. The reverence for Mount Buzhou, the prehistoric three thousand races, and millions of living beings were etched deep in their hearts.

After the Demons and Witches’ War concluded, peace and serenity returned to the primordial chaos. Numerous beings with great supernatural powers practiced in seclusion, striving for a higher realm. Particularly, Laozi, Yuanshi, Nuwa, Xixi Jieyin, and Zhunti all sensed that their moment to prove the Tao was nearing, and they didn’t dare to relax, all entering a state of retreat.

Among them, while Nu Wa was in retreat, she seemed to encounter an obstacle and couldn’t escape its constraints.

After millions of years of meditation and contemplation, no breakthrough exists. Nuwa sighs, “I’m just one step away… I can feel that I am on the verge of enlightenment, yet I still can’t have that moment of realization… sigh!” Her gentle and enchanting sigh resonates from within the Palace of Empress Nuwa.

Frustrated by her lack of progress, Nuwa leaves the palace and seeks Taoism from Hongjun at the Chaos Purple Heaven Palace. However, she found that Hongjun was preoccupied with comprehending the way of heaven, striving to keep pace with Ye Xiu. He had no time to attend to her.

Standing outside the Purple Heaven Palace gate, confusion fills Nuwa’s beautiful eyes, and she softly whispers, “The teacher is retreating… In the whole world, who else can guide me?”

In her thoughts, a peerless figure spontaneously emerges in Nuwa’s mind. Her eyebrows raise, her eyes sparkle, and she exclaims excitedly, “Perhaps… Taoist Ye Xiu on Buzhou Mountain, he will have the Tao I seek!”

Nuwa has witnessed Ye Xiu’s peerless beauty before, whether it was the peerless sword on Mount Buzhou or his extraordinary skills during the First Lich War. All of these memories were etched deep within her mind, and she had unwavering confidence in Ye Xiu’s abilities.

Nuwa transformed into an ethereal fairy figure and flew towards Buzhou Mountain, eagerly anticipating seeing Ye Xiu again and witnessing his magnificence.

…

On the towering mountains of Buzhou, a peerless figure in white attire, ethereal as a fairy, stands on the highest point. He carries the ancient starry sky, steps upon the vast land, and surveys Buzhou Mountain’s breathtaking landscape.

From this vantage point, he could oversee the Heavenly Lord’s sword practice and observe Xihe, Changxi, and Houtu’s enlightenment under the sacred tree.

A Taoist dressed in bright red robes with a youthful face stands by his side. This individual possesses a formidable quasi-sage cultivation, making him a giant among any force in the prehistoric world. However, in the presence of Ye Xiu, he humbles himself, lowering his shoulders and waist like a submissive old servant.

This person is Styx.
