What was a Life Providence?
Zhu Minglang had never heard of such a term.
"You can understand it as an immortal being demoted to a mortal. They lose their supreme Dharmic powers and immortal aura. They lose the right to ascend to the Heavenly realm." Mr. Koi explained when he saw that Zhu Minglang didn't understand.
"Could it be that her realm is very high?" Zhu Minglang asked.
"It's definitely high. In fact, what you see might not be her true body. It's just an avatar that she yearns for freedom. Her true body might be as massive as the Earth Ridge, having completely grown together. In short, try communicating with her and ask her if she's willing to lose her Life Providence, "said Mr. Koi.
Zhu Minglang and Nüwa already had a spiritual bond. Now, she was equivalent to his spiritual pet. It wasn't difficult for Zhu Minglang to communicate with her. He just needed her to understand that if she wanted to leave this place, she had to give up her original cultivation level.
Nüwa didn't even know what her cultivation level or Life Providence was. All she did was accept Zhu Minglang's suggestion. As for the price she had to pay, she didn't seem to care as long as she didn't cause the Earth Ridge to collapse.
No matter how high one's cultivation was, or how high one's fate was, as long as one was imprisoned in this dark underground, they would not have the slightest bit of nostalgia.
"Can you lead me to the Earth Ridge Divine Root that's imprisoning your Life Soul?" Zhu Minglang asked.
Nüwa blinked her eyes. After a while, she seemed to understand that Zhu Minglang wanted to help her. Hence, she swam out of the green pool and followed the fissure that Zhu Minglang had crawled into.
When she walked, she relied on the swaying of her waist and tail. If one only paid attention to her upper body, it would look like a girl was catwalking.
Zhu Minglang followed her out of the fissure.
Zhu Minglang was already lost in this maze, but Nüwa was very familiar with this place. She swam towards a very narrow fissure that Zhu Minglang had not noticed before.
Zhu Minglang found that the rock was gradually becoming hotter as he followed the Earth Vein Mark. Occasionally, he could see the flames that seeped into the rock like flowers blooming beautifully.
"This is the path to the Earth Vein Fire Pistil. I'm going to help you remove the Life Soul Lock and release you. I'm not asking you to help me find the exit," Zhu Minglang said to Nüwa.
The Nüwa was too kind. Her heart was so pure that it was as if she didn't have the slightest intention to harm others.
"Na ~" Nüwa stretched out her slender arm and pointed to the front, as if to tell Zhu Minglang that he would be there soon.
Zhu Minglang was a little confused as he continued following Nüwa.
The light of the flames had already lit up the dim Earth Vein. Zhu Minglang knew that they were very close to the Earth Vein Fire Pistil.
Suddenly, Zhu Minglang realized a problem.
Could it be that the Earth Vein Fire Pistil was actually the Earth Ridge Spirit Root?
Zhu Minglang carefully thought back to the dream that he had felt the same way …
The fissure at the bottom of the sea, the long corridor that led to the Earth Vein, and the Earth Vein Fire Pistil that kept burning in the underground world for no reason, releasing tremendous fire energy!
Was the Earth Vein Fire Pistil Nüwa's Life Soul?
She had been supporting herself under the weak Earth Ridge for too long. Her Life Soul had grown together with the Earth Vein Fire Pistil and turned into a constantly burning Earth Vein Fire Pistil, like a heart that kept transmitting ancient origin power!
Therefore, the so-called sweeping wave of fire was actually just a single beat of her heart …
"Mr. Koi, the Earth Vein Fire Pistil is her Life Soul!" Zhu Minglang came to a realization.
"Her true self is really a goddess on the level of Nüwa the Savior. This Nüwa is her incarnation," Mr. Koi said in surprise.
"No wonder, no wonder …" Zhu Minglang recalled the drowsy dream.
"That's easy, that's easy," Mr. Koi said.
"What do you mean?" Zhu Minglang asked.
"Her true self has completely merged with the Earth Vein and the Earth Vein Fire Pistil. I believe a great calamity took place here in a certain era, causing the extinction of all living things. She used her flesh and blood to become the Earth Vein Fire Pistil that supported the Earth Vein Fire Pistil that stabilized the Earth Vein Fire Pistil. The Nüwa we see is the result of her Immortal Soul being in the Earth Vein Fire Pistil for a long time. It's like a new life being born. If we help her cut off the Earth Vein Fire Pistil, it's the same as cutting off the umbilical cord. She will be an independent life, "Mr. Koi said.
Zhu Minglang was overjoyed.
If that was the case, she could regain her freedom even without destroying the Ni Sea.
Zhu Minglang heaved a long sigh of relief. If he had only severed one of the Earth Vein Fire Pistil, she would have been reborn. It could be said to be complete!
Did God really arrange for him to come to the Earth Vein Fire Pistil and bring the Nüwa away because he had gathered the Seven Calamities Omen?
"The others won't be able to bring her away. After all, they don't have a special existence like the Stegosaurus. They will be burned into ashes as soon as they come into contact with the Restless Fire Liquid! Zhu Minglang, oh Zhu Minglang, you are lucky because of me. Otherwise, even if you were one of the few people that could save her, you wouldn't have stumbled into the Nüwa by chance. You should offer me more good wine and meat in the future, do you understand!? "Mr. Koi started to boast about himself.
"Mr. Koi, there's something wrong with your words. You were there the whole time when I encountered the Seven Calamities Omen. Why didn't I see your Heavenly Fortune Technique working?" Zhu Minglang said.
"Let me ask you, did the Innate Fiend Dragon become your dragon in the end?" Mr. Koi asked.
"Yes."
"Did you lose anything?"
"Nothing."
"That's it then, it's called turning misfortune into blessings. And now, it's called Lucky Star Shining!" Mr. Koi was in high spirits. If his whiskers were a little longer, he might actually look like an Immortal Carp!
However, no matter how imposing an Immortal Carp was, it could not withstand the heat of the Earth Vein Fire Pistil. Mr. Koi raised his nose and took a sniff. For some reason, he smelled something special!
"Wow, why didn't you say anything when I was about to be burned to a crisp!?" Mr. Koi yelled.
He circled Zhu Minglang a few times. The smell was even stronger. He had to sprinkle some shredded onions, cumin, spices, and chili powder …
"Remember, you have to thank me!" Mr. Koi yelled at the end. He quickly turned into embroidery and hid behind Zhu Minglang's clothes.
"Kekekeke ~" Nüwa could not stop giggling when she saw Mr. Koi running away in flames. Her laughter was crisp like a bell, giving her an innocent feeling.
…
Nüwa suddenly came to a stop. A fiery red mark appeared on her chest, as if her heart was burning fiercely. The light of the flames was reflected on her crystal-clear skin and spread to her entire body.
Nüwa kept backing away in fear.
This was the limit of her movement. She could not even get close to the Earth Vein Fire Pistil.
Otherwise, that weak wisp of her soul would be completely incinerated.
"Wait here, I'll go and break the Soul Chains," Zhu Minglang said to Nüwa.
"Nana ~" Nüwa had yet to learn the complete language. She could only mutter softly.
…
Either way, Zhu Minglang finally found the way back to the Earth Vein Fire Pistil.
It was a narrow gap formed by an indestructible layer of rock crystals. Zhu Minglang had to crawl forward to pass through it.
He finally arrived at the cave where the Earth Vein Fire Pistil was. Zhu Minglang was about to crawl out of the cave along the jagged rock crystals when he heard the sound of an argument coming from outside!
Was someone here?
This was the Zhu Men's Mystical Realm. How could there be outsiders here?
But when Zhu Minglang heard the voice, he found it familiar.
Zhu Minglang raised his head and looked towards the hole in the Earth Vein Fire Pistil. He saw a group of people lying on the ground. Some were dead and some were injured!
Zhu Minglang was surprised.
Had the fire-making ritual already begun?
Had he been lost in the Earth Vein for such a long time?
There was no concept of time underground. Zhu Minglang spent a long time making the fire. Then, he got lost in the Earth Vein and met Nüwa. As for the dream where he felt the same, it seemed to have been a long time ago. Mr. Koi even reminded him!
Had the fire-making ritual already begun?
But why were these people lying on the ground? Other than a few important members of the Zhu Men, there were also some people in red and black clothes. Some of them had high cultivation levels!
"Zhao Yu, you're so evil. I, An Qingfeng, trusted you so much!" An Qingfeng's voice came from a place Zhu Minglang could not see.
He seemed to be paralyzed in a corner and had lost his ability to move. It was difficult for him to even speak.
An Qingfeng was severely injured.
As for the martial arts masters in red and black clothes, they were obviously powerhouses from King An's Imperial Residence. They had broken into the arcane realm and were plotting something. In the end, they were tricked by the young prince, Zhao Yu. All the martial arts masters from King An's Imperial Residence had died tragically near the Earth Vein Fire Pistil!
This was a very powerful force. King An's Imperial Residence had come prepared. They had gathered many martial arts masters, some of them were even Regent Level …
But they had still died in the end!
"This Zhao Yu is a double agent?" Zhu Minglang was surprised.
There were many spies and informants from King An in the Zhu Men's small inner court. There were even traitors who had been plotting how to take over the small inner court.
King An could not take over the Zhu Men's large inner court in the Imperial Capital, so he focused on this small, remote inner court …
In the end, they were all lured out by the young prince, Zhao Yu, and captured in one fell swoop?
If that was the case, the secret of the Zhu Men's Earth Vein Pistil was known to outsiders because the Zhu Men themselves had leaked it. Their goal was to use the young prince, Zhao Yu, to lure out all the people from King An's Imperial Residence. At the same time, it was a clean house.
However, this clean house and King An's forces had caused the small inner court to pay a heavy price.
