Chapter 6739 Nuwa's Situation
Chapter 6739 Nuwa's Situation
Half an hour later.
Guided by Biyao, Xiao Chen arrived at the deepest part of Guixu Abyss.
"It's just ahead."
Biyao led the way along a small path, and the two soon came into contact with several elderly men guarding the area ahead.
Both sides bowed to each other. The elders looked Xiao Chen up and down. They had all heard about his background, including the matter of reinforcing the seal.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xiao Chen finally saw the sleeping figure after passing through layers of colorful rays of light!
Above a tranquil lake, a colorful lotus platform floats silently. The platform is formed from thousands of fragments of the sky-mending stone, and each lotus petal radiates a warm glow.
On the lotus platform sat a figure, none other than Nuwa herself!
She wore a long, plain gauze dress in the same color as the sunset glow, the hem of which draped down to the edge of the lotus platform, blending seamlessly with the petal pattern.
Her face was shrouded in a thin layer of rosy light. Her long hair cascaded down her back, her eyebrows and eyes were gentle, yet they exuded a sense of creation and grandeur. Her delicate nose and cherry lips gave her a face as soft as the first spring breeze at the beginning of time.
But those tightly closed eyes seemed to have been silent for eternity...
Xiao Chen stood on the lake shore, staring blankly upwards, feeling a powerful yet gentle pressure coming towards him.
This oppressive aura was unlike the imperial might of Xuanyuan and Shennong; instead, it carried a maternal warmth that encompassed all things, causing him to subconsciously soften his breathing, as if even his soul had been cleansed.
"Junior Xiao Chen greets Your Majesty."
Xiao Chen snapped out of his daze and bowed respectfully.
The next second, a gentle breeze swept by, carrying with it a large swath of rosy light that enveloped him.
Xiao Chen looked up again. Nuwa, whose spirit was still present, had her heart rising and falling slightly, but no breath was leaking out, just like an ancient stone statue.
"I want to get closer."
Xiao Chen looked at Bi Yao and the others.
"it is good!"
The elder in the lead responded, and he and the others made their moves, their true energy transforming into an illusory arched bridge spanning between the lake shore and the lotus platform.
Xiao Chen and Bi Yao stepped onto the arched bridge and slowly walked towards the lotus platform.
When Xiao Chen got closer, he was truly shocked by the divine aura before him.
This is only Nuwa in her dormant state after losing half of her original essence; one can imagine how powerful and radiant Nuwa must have been in her prime.
"This junior, Xiao Chen, has just arrived from the Mother Realm..."
Xiao Chen stood outside the lotus platform and briefly recounted some recent events.
Then, he summoned the spiritual root of heaven and earth.
"I……"
Just as the Heavenly Spiritual Root was about to speak, Xiao Chen quickly gestured for it to be quiet.
"Making a mountain out of a molehill!"
The Heavenly Spirit Roots sat on Xiao Chen's shoulders, crossed their legs, one on each shoulder, and together they observed Nuwa's condition.
Biyao glanced at Xiao Chen, then at the Heavenly Spirit Root, her face filled with astonishment.
Even the elderly people on the lake shore were shocked.
"That's right! It is indeed a spiritual root of heaven and earth from the Mother Realm!"
The elder in the lead affirmed.
For a moment, the people around him froze on the spot, somewhat bewildered.
Deep down, although they respected Xiao Chen, they couldn't help but wonder what he could do for them and how far he could go.
Given that both Nuwa herself and her avatars are now dormant, how could Xiao Chen possibly achieve that with his current strength?
"I thought it was much more serious."
After a long while, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root suddenly spoke.
Xiao Chen calmed himself down; Nuwa's condition was indeed better than he had imagined.
"Is there a way?"
Biyao hurriedly asked.
The Heavenly Spiritual Root did not respond, but said to Xiao Chen, "Nuwa Stone."
"Oh."
Xiao Chen nodded, a flash of light appeared in his palm, and he took out the Nuwa Stone.
Swish!
Sensing something, the Nuwa Stone flew up, its body surrounded by a dazzling five-colored halo, echoing the glow of the lotus platform.
Subtle changes spread silently. First, the patterns on the surface of the Nuwa Stone suddenly lit up. Those patterns, which were engraved with the divine essence of Nuwa, seemed to move as if they were alive, emitting an almost inaudible buzzing sound.
Immediately afterwards, a very faint ripple suddenly appeared around Nuwa's body. The originally stagnant halo, like the surface of a lake tossed with pebbles, spread out in tiny ripples.
For a moment, Xiao Chen and Bi Yao didn't dare to breathe.
Looking at Nuwa again, her drooping eyelashes trembled almost imperceptibly.
A wisp of multicolored light, thinner than a strand of hair, emanated from between her brows and wrapped around the Nuwa Stone like a gossamer thread, causing the stone's aura to surge instantly.
Upon seeing this, Biyao and the others were shocked and overjoyed.
"Don't worry, Xiao Chen will do his best."
The Heavenly Spiritual Root spoke to Nuwa, and then retrieved the Nuwa Stone that had been suspended in mid-air.
Xiao Chen and Bi Yao came to their senses, and the slight change in Nuwa had also disappeared.
"In that case, the Shennong Cauldron doesn't need to recognize a master. Just awakening it will help. In the later stages, you won't even need to put in any effort; Nuwa can do it herself."
The Heavenly Spirit Root turned its head to look at Xiao Chen.
"I understand!"
Xiao Chen was both excited and worried. The key issue now had become awakening the Shennong Cauldron, but no matter what, at least there was a direction!
He retrieved the Heavenly Spirit Root and the Nuwa Stone, bowed to Nuwa once more, and quickly returned to the shore with Biyao.
"Xiao Chen, we'll follow your instructions from now on."
The elderly man at the head of the group had a serious expression.
"That's right! Even if it costs me my old life, I will help you awaken our Empress Nuwa!"
An old woman said.
"Please rest assured, seniors, I will do my best. Please give me some time."
Xiao Chen spoke firmly, and after exchanging a few words, he left.
"The key to initially awakening the Shennong Cauldron is probably to master the Xuanhuo (mysterious fire) of Master Shennong..."
Back in the cultivation area, Xiao Chen muttered to himself that the scroll about the Profound Fire Ancient Scroll had remained in his sea of consciousness when Shennong passed on the Great Dao to him.
Then, he took out the Shennong Cauldron, and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root was still lying inside, its little face flushed, still looking drunk.
"I wish you could just wake it up directly."
Xiao Chen laughed, but then felt that something seemed off about what he said.
The Heavenly Spirit Root leaned against the inner wall of the cauldron, stretched, and gave off a "you wish" look.
How many kinds of mysterious fire did Shennong possess?
"There should be..."
Xiao Chen was about to answer.
"Forget it, with your current level of skill, you probably can't master too much anyway. Just tell me what the most basic level is."
The spiritual roots of heaven and earth interrupted the Dao.
"...Aoki Creation Flame".
Xiao Chen said.
"Well, let's give it a try. Maybe we'll just get lucky."
"The spiritual roots of heaven and earth," he casually remarked.
"..."
Xiao Chen was speechless. This kid could be really sharp-tongued sometimes!
He sat cross-legged, his mind completely immersed in his consciousness.
The sea of consciousness is no longer what it used to be. With successive breakthroughs and improvements, coupled with the great Dao of the two Great Emperors, this place of divine soul origin has expanded.
Above the vast 'sky curtain', on the left are points of dazzling golden light, like imperial stars suspended in the sky, flowing with the order and majesty of the Xuanyuan Great Dao.
On the right is a deep, boundless dark green background, within which the veins of mountains and rivers seem to emerge, and the growth and decay of plants and the changing light and shadows are a concrete manifestation of the Taoist spirit of Shennong.
With a thought, Xiao Chen summoned the ancient scroll of Shennong's Xuanhuo, which quickly landed in the void in front of him!
