The moment Nuwa ascended to sainthood, Taishang's Nine Revolutions Profound Art broke through the eighth revolution, entering the ninth. An invincible aura emanated from Taishang.
Nuwa looked at Taishang with confusion. Taishang's aura put even her under pressure. Nuwa was puzzled:
"Why is Taishang so strong? I haven't seen Taishang sever his three corpses! If Taishang had severed his three corpses to become a saint, it would be reasonable for me to feel pressure!"
Taishang's Nine Revolutions Profound Art continued to circulate after breaking through, only stopping when it reached the mid-ninth revolution!
Upon awakening, Taishang spoke:
"I am Taishang. Today I have become a saint. The Human Race is under my protection; no other race shall harm them!"
The beings of the Primordial World had just gotten up from the ground when they suddenly felt a pressure even greater than Nuwa's descend upon them. Hearing Taishang's voice, they immediately knelt again and said:
"Greetings, Saint Taishang!"
The inhabitants of Kunlun Mountain were overjoyed to hear of Taishang's sainthood. Zhenyuanzi looked at Hongyun and said:
"I never imagined Fellow Daoist Taishang would also become a saint!"
Hongyun sighed and replied:
"Indeed. I wonder when you and I will reach this stage!"
Zhenyuanzi chuckled and said:
"We will reach that stage when our opportunities arise!"
On Mount Sumeru in the West, Jieyin and Zhunti's faces fell upon hearing of Taishang's sainthood. They felt extremely dejected, thinking, "How can Taishang always be ahead of us brothers in everything!"
The brothers exchanged a glance and decided that since they had not yet become saints, they would refrain from going to the Eastern lands, to avoid encountering Taishang!
Taishang saw that Nuwa had already become a saint and congratulated her:
"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Nuwa, your future is boundless!"
Nuwa returned the courtesy and said:
"Mutual congratulations! Haven't you also reached this realm, Fellow Daoist!"
Taishang chuckled and said nothing more, turning his gaze to Yuanshi and Tongtian.
Seeing traces of saintly aura emanating from Yuanshi and Tongtian, Taishang knew that Yuanshi and Tongtian were close to becoming saints!
The beings of the Primordial World, having just gotten up from the ground, thought, "It's over now, right!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as they had climbed to their feet, another wave of pressure descended, forcing them back to the ground. Yuanshi's voice echoed throughout the heavens and earth:
"I am Yuanshi. Today I have become a saint. The Human Race is under my protection; no other race shall harm them!"
In the Demon Court, Taiyi, upon hearing of Yuanshi's sainthood, excitedly said to Di Jun:
"Brother, did you hear? My master has become a saint!"
Di Jun nodded and said:
"I heard. Taiyi, what do you say we have the little golden crows pay homage to Kunlun after they are born?"
Taiyi heard this and replied:
"Then my son would be in the same generation as me! No! That won't do. If they must pay homage, they should do so to Qilong, Duobao, and the others!"
Di Jun gave a wry smile and said:
"Alright, we'll do as you say! But they have to accept them first!"
Taiyi smiled slightly and said:
"That's not up to them. Except for Senior Brother Qilong, whom I cannot touch, that brat Duobao is easy to deal with. After all, it's natural for an elder brother to discipline a younger brother, right?"
The great beings of the Primordial World were greatly shocked, wondering what kind of divine beings the Human Race truly were, to already have three saints protecting them.
The great beings made up their minds: they must not come into conflict with the Human Race. If they encountered them, they would have to take a detour!
Seeing that Taishang and Yuanshi had both become saints, they thought that Tongtian should be close behind! Thus, they simply remained on the ground.
As expected, before Yuanshi's pressure had dissipated, a new wave of pressure descended, and Tongtian's voice followed closely:
"I am Tongtian. Today I have become a saint. The Human Race is under my protection; no other race shall harm them!"
The great beings heard this and thought, "As expected!"
The Human Race was incredibly lucky, to have the protection of four saints. They could only envy them!
Even before they knew what the Human Race was, they had secretly resolved not to offend the Human Race. Not only should they not offend them, but they should also prepare to foster good relations with them.
After Tongtian's voice faded, the pressure in the heavens and earth slowly disappeared. The beings thought, "It's over now, right?"
Only then did they cautiously stand up, fearing that another terrifying wave of pressure would descend at any moment!
Taishang saw that Yuanshi and Tongtian had successfully entered the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm, and couldn't hide the smile on his face. Taishang thought:
"Finally, we have the power to protect ourselves. I no longer need to fear Hongjun!"
Yuanshi and Tongtian came to Taishang's side and happily said:
"Big Brother!"
Taishang nodded. The two then bowed to Nuwa. Nuwa returned the courtesy and said:
"The three Fellow Daoists have become saints today. When do you plan to preach?"
Yuanshi and Tongtian habitually looked at Taishang. They had always followed Taishang's lead and wanted to see Taishang's thoughts!
Taishang smiled slightly and said:
"You two are already saints, why are you still waiting for me to make a decision?"
Yuanshi and Tongtian laughed heartily and said:
"Although we have become saints, Big Brother is still Big Brother!"
Nuwa looked at the three Qing and a trace of envy flashed in her eyes. She wondered when Fuxi could become a saint!
Taishang heard this and said:
"We are not in a hurry for the preaching. We three brothers have important matters to attend to, and I'm afraid it will have to be postponed!"
Nuwa heard this and said nothing more. She reached out and summoned the Qiankun Cauldron and the Innate Gourd Vine, which flew into her hands. Nuwa looked at Tongtian and Yuanshi and returned the Qiankun Cauldron and the Innate Gourd Vine to them, saying:
"Nuwa is able to become a saint thanks to the three Fellow Daoists. Nuwa owes you a favor; please do not disdain it!"
Yuanshi took the Qiankun Cauldron, and Tongtian took the Innate Gourd Vine. Taishang said:
"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, you jest. The favor of a saint is rare and precious, how could we disdain it!"
Nuwa smiled and nodded, saying:
"Since the three Fellow Daoists have no plans to preach, I will first go to the Chaos to establish my dojo. Please look after these children for me! Farewell!"
The three Qing said:
"Rest assured, Fellow Daoist. We are also the Saint Father of the Human Race and can ensure their safety. Farewell!"
After Nuwa left, Taishang looked at the Human Race that Nuwa had just created and said:
"The spiritual energy of this Buzhou Mountain region is abundant, which will also benefit you. How about you reside here?"
The beings heard this and replied:
"We will obey the Saint Father's command!"
Hearing this, Taishang searched for a place not far from Pangu Hall to serve as the Human Race's dwelling!
Yuanshi saw that Taishang had arranged for the Human Race to stay there and couldn't help but worry:
"Big Brother! This is the territory of the Wu Tribe. I'm worried the Wu Tribe will be unfavorable to the Human Race!"
Taishang shook his head and said:
"The Human Race is under our protection; the Wu Tribe should not trouble them. Besides, there are only the Twelve Ancestral Witches here, no other Wu tribe members. It will be fine!"
Tongtian saw this and said:
"Big Brother, why don't we take them to Kunlun? That is our place, and they should be safe there!"
Taishang shook his head and said:
"The Human Race's bodies are too weak. If we take them there, they won't be able to endure the journey, and who knows how long it will take to walk! There are no fierce beasts here, so they will be fine!"
Hearing Taishang say this, Yuanshi and Tongtian then noticed that none of the Human Race had any cultivation. They frowned and said:
"Are Nuwa's children too weak! However, they are born with the Dao Body, which is a good foundation for cultivation! It's just that some of them seem to have no spiritual roots."
Taishang was also puzzled and said:
"I don't understand either. Their bodies are made of the Three Lights Divine Water and Nine Heavens Breath Soil, along with Nuwa's essence blood, so it shouldn't be like this!"
Taishang had originally thought that the Human Race's bodies were inferior to those of the hundred races because the Human Race had reproduced for an unknown number of generations, which was why they were like this. He did not expect them to be like this from the moment of their creation!
