Chapter 19: The Unrotating Mountain Collapses, Nüwa Repairs the Sky

  The nineteenth heaven collapsed, Nuwa mended the sky

  In the dark and bloody river of the underworld, Minghe saw Sanqing and others establish their teachings and become saints. He thought that as long as he had the merit of establishing a teaching, he should also be able to become a saint. Therefore, he took the Asura tribe as his base and established the Xiu Luo teaching, appointing himself as the leader of the sect. Unfortunately, things did not go as he had hoped. The Heavenly Way only bestowed some merit on Minghe, and after obtaining this merit, Minghe's law power only increased slightly, and his realm was still in the middle period of quasi-sainthood. Minghe also found that even after establishing his teaching, he still could not become a saint, and he couldn't help but rage at the unfairness of the Heavenly Way. Why could Nüwa create humans and become a saint, and Sanqing establish teachings and become a saint? He had both, yet he was not a saint.

  Kunpeng sighed upon learning that everyone had become saints: "The great calamity has arrived, and the era of saints has also come. I must be careful too, especially with Zhunti, the most shameless among the saints."

  After everyone became saints, the Nuwa Goddess was the most shocked. Before, only she could take care of the demon tribe, but now that everyone has a saintly position, whatever she wants to do must be considered whether it can be permitted by everyone.

  The arrival of the era of all saints, the pressure on both the witch and demon tribes has increased greatly, and both sides are desperately developing their own strength in order to gain a thread of life in the great calamity.

  That human tribe obtained the knowledge of survival from Kunpeng, and after thousands of years of stable development, it has grown to a population of no less than tens of millions. Gradually splitting into countless tribes, they migrated to the areas where the witch and demon powers were weak. Although their cultivation was still inferior to that of the witch and demon tribes, they gradually formed the third major force in the vast wilderness, with a strong and prosperous momentum beginning to emerge. However, as the saying goes, "united for long must eventually divide". This peaceful era was finally disrupted.

  The Wu tribe, since Hou Tu's reincarnation in the six paths, seems to have decreased in strength, but it hasn't had a huge impact. The Hou Tu tribe has a great Wu Xing Tian, who is the number one master among all the great Wu, with cultivation second only to the Ancestor Wu. With him replacing Hou Tu's position, the Wu tribe can still deploy the "Twelve Heavenly Gods' Great Formation", so the Wu tribe isn't afraid of the Yao tribe now. It's just that the Daoist Patriarch Hongjun has said that the Wu and Yao tribes should be separated and governed, so they don't dare to start a war casually.

  After hundreds of years of development, the power of the Wu tribe has recovered. Since the last great war, they suffered heavy losses and each tribe shrank their territory, tightly uniting together. Now with more and more people, gradually there are frequent conflicts between tribes.

  The Fire God Zhurong and the Water God Gonggong are naturally at odds. The struggle between the two major tribes has never stopped since the twelve ancestral witches divided the land. Fortunately, under the suppression of Emperor Jiang, they can still be restrained. However, the small frictions between the two tribes have never stopped. As long as things don't get out of hand, other ancestral witches don't have so much energy to intervene.

  Zhurong was skilled at controlling fire and had refined a Wu knife to deal with the demon clan. Normally, this knife would be kept at home, but it was discovered by the Demon Emperor Jun, thus unfolding a plot against Zuwu.

  Dong Huang Taiyi personally took action and stole Wu Dao. As Zhu Rong rarely used his sword in peacetime, he didn't notice it was missing for the time being.

  Gonggong was inspecting his clan when he received a report that there were spies from the You tribe. Gonggong immediately seized the man and said, "Where is he? Take me to him at once."

  The two of them arrived at a mountain valley, and the man said: "Ancestor Wu is inside."

  Gonggong didn't think carefully and rushed into the valley, only to see that the people of the Zhu Rong tribe were lying in a pool of blood, with a bloody knife beside them. Gonggong picked up the knife and examined it carefully, thinking that it was quite good, so he put it down and hung it on his own waist.

  Zhurong immediately sent someone to search for his Wu knife after learning that it had been stolen. When he found the knife on Gonggong's body, he didn't say a word and rushed forward, beating him fiercely.

  Gonggong was also a hot-tempered person. Seeing Zhurong attacking him without knowing what to do, he directly went forward and fought with Zhurong in a ball of flames.

  Two ancestral witches fought immediately known to everyone, but the rest of the ancestral witches were led away by Emperor Jun, and when they found out that Zhu Rong and Gong Gong were fighting, it was already too late to stop them.

  The two fought with their own mastery of water and fire, but the Zhu Rong fire was slightly stronger than Gong Gong's. In the end, Gong Gong lost. The fight between Zu Wu and Gong Gong couldn't be a life-or-death struggle, so they both stopped at a certain point.

  Zhurong saw Gonggong defeated and said: "Gonggong, what good words do you have to say today? You actually killed my clansmen and stole my treasured dagger."

  Gonggong was originally not going to crash into the mountain, but Zhurong was unreasonable and Gonggong didn't want to argue. In a fit of rage, he used all his strength to crash into Mount Buzhou. Suddenly, "Boom!" Mount Buzhou collapsed.

  Mount Buzhou collapses, Heaven's Pillar crumbles, a huge hole appears in the sky and the waters of the Nine Heavens pour down.

  Kunpeng felt the earth shake at the moment when Mount Buzhou collapsed. He calculated with his fingers and found that it was indeed Mount Buzhou that had collapsed. He couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart: "The Demon Emperor Jun has taken this step after all, and the demon clan's fortune seems to have been damaged not lightly."

  Kunpeng thought, supplementing the sky was a great merit. In an instant, he transformed into his true form and arrived at the foot of Mount Buzhou. He opened his big mouth and used his unique skill "Kunpeng Whale Absorption" to absorb all the water from the nine heavens. However, with the heavenly pillar overturned, the heaven and earth were unstable and shaking, which was not something that Kunpeng alone could resolve.

  Soon, Sanqing, Nüwa Niangniang and the two saints from the West also arrived at the foot of Buzhou Mountain. The heavenly court's monsters also came, and all the ancestors gathered together. Everyone looked at this cave, not knowing what to do. They just watched as Kunpeng revealed its true form and actually held up all the water of the nine heavens.

  Laozi looked at the hole and said, "The sky pillar has collapsed, heaven and earth are unstable. It's better to repair the sky first. Relying solely on Kunpeng won't last long."

  Yuanshi said: "Elder brother's words are indeed correct. However, this requires the help of our sister Nüwa."

  Nüwa said helplessly: "This repair of heaven must be refined with five-colored stone, but I still lack the crucible for refining."

  Laozi said: "This little girl doesn't need to worry, just go find Teacher and it will be fine."

  Everyone agreed with Laozi's words and said in unison: "Great goodness"

  Everyone arrived at the Purple Cloud Palace and saw Haotian waiting for them. Haotian stepped forward and said, "Greetings to all my fellow senior brothers and sisters. The teacher has a message, please go in."

  After entering the Purple Mansion, Daozu Hongjun didn't say anything and directly threw a cauldron in front of everyone.

  After the crowd obtained the Ding, they returned to Buzhou Mountain, refined the stone and supplemented the heaven. None of them helped Kunpeng hold back the water of the nine heavens, and Kunpeng ultimately failed to become a saint. His magical powers could not keep up with his consumption, and the heavenly river's waters gradually fell into the vast wilderness.

  Yuanshi Tianzun put the half of Mount Buzhou that was about to fall into his sleeve. Everyone saw it and also searched for the fragments of Mount Buzhou, but unfortunately these fragments had already fallen into Kunpeng's hands. If Kunpeng wasn't afraid of forming a karmic connection with Yuanshi Tianzun, he wouldn't have been able to collect that half of Mount Buzhou either.

  Tongtian Jiaozhu is a relatively straightforward person. Seeing that Kunpeng's magical powers were being consumed too greatly and the Heavenly River's waters were all falling into the Hongyuan, he lent a hand to help Kunpeng block the Heavenly River's waters, giving Kunpeng a chance to catch his breath. After eighty-one years, a ball of colorful light flew out of the tripod, and the colorful stone was refined.

  Nüwa patched up the hole, but there was one piece left over. She casually threw it away, not knowing where it went, and unexpectedly this stone brought about a cause-and-effect chain of events.

  Laozi said: "The sky has been repaired but lacks the thing that supports it. Heaven and earth are unstable."

  Nüwa said: "In the North Sea there is a divine turtle, its four legs can be used as pillars to hold up the sky, I will go and get them."

  Immediately afterwards, Nüwa went to slay the Xuanwu turtle, using its four limbs to prop up the sky. The corpse of the Xuanwu turtle was discarded in the north, and later its rotting body caused the entire state to be polluted with poisonous fog and miasma.

  After the sky was repaired, great merits were bestowed. Nüwa obtained 50% of the merits, while Kunpeng obtained 40%, and the remaining 10% was shared among the people. Tongtian Jiao Zhu got most of the remaining 10% for helping Kunpeng. Nüwa refined the stone and collected the four limbs of the Xuanwu to repair the sky, earning her 50% of the merits. Kunpeng blocked the waters of the nine heavens from pouring into the vast wilderness, saving countless lives and earning him 40% of the merits. Tongtian Jiao Zhu helped Kunpeng, so he got most of the remaining 10% of the merits. The other saints did not expect that due to their own miscalculation, they would lose such great merits, and they couldn't help but regret it deeply in their hearts.

  Jade Peng adjusted his breath for a moment, slightly recovering some of his magical powers, and then went forward to thank the Lord of Tongtian Sect for lending a hand. The Lord of Tongtian Sect just smiled and said it was what should be done, as everyone was thinking about the living beings in the vast wilderness.

  Dong Huang was secretly resentful in his heart, never expecting that his own plan would actually benefit Kun Peng, and so much merit would be gained by Kun Peng. How could he not be enraged?

  Kunpeng glanced at the crowd of demons, and since he had not spoken with them before, everyone present could see the discord within the demon tribe. Except for Nüwa, everyone else was delighted, after all, no one wanted to see a powerful demon tribe.

  After the repair of the sky, everyone just chatted for a few words and left. The demon emperor Di Jun was still unaware that his actions had caused great damage to the demon clan's fortune, and he was overjoyed. However, the subsequent report from the demon clan made him want to cry but have no tears. Mount Buzhou collapsed, causing the Tianhe River to flow backwards, and the demons in the heavenly court also suffered heavy losses without any defense.
