Upon his return, Fuxi was plagued with a headache, feeling trapped between a rock and a hard place.
Despite his promise to Shi Hao, he found it hard to bring himself to speak. It felt like he was betraying his sister for his own advancement.
He was caught in the middle, especially since he currently owed a favor to the other party.
If Nüwa Saint was an ordinary cultivator, there would be no problem in marrying his sister to him, and he knew Shi Hao’s character. Unfortunately, their statuses were both extraordinary.
One was a Saint ordained by the Heavenly Dao, while the other was a peerless powerhouse above the level of Great Dao Golden Immortal.
At their level, it was assumed they wouldn’t easily have the desire to find a companion. However, Shi Hao was an exception; his words and actions were indistinguishable from a mortal’s.
Now that Shi Hao had taken a liking to his sister, what could he do?
Fuxi even deeply regretted agreeing to bring Nüwa Saint to meet Shi Hao. Otherwise, none of this would have happened.
“Things have come to this, I can only explain the situation truthfully to my sister.” After much hesitation, Fuxi sighed deeply, re-establishing a divine sense connection with Nüwa in the Nüwa Palace.
The exchange between divine senses was incredibly fast, and soon, Nüwa learned about the situation from Fuxi.
“Nüwa Saint, if you don’t wish to see him, you don’t have to force yourself for my sake. It would make me uneasy.” Fuxi sighed.
“It’s alright, brother. Whether I accept or reject his feelings, I have to see him again and make things clear, don’t I? So, tomorrow, I’ll accompany you to meet him.” In truth, Nüwa’s heart was perhaps already prepared for this day. Moreover, she was also curious about whether Shi Hao knew about the third way of proving Dao through strength!
…………
The following morning, when Fuxi and Nüwa stood before Shi Hao, he was momentarily stunned, even thinking he had seen things.
In Shi Hao’s mind, the so-called “next day” would usually be several days later. Furthermore, a cultivator’s perception of time differed from a mortal’s.
Shi Hao had mentally prepared to wait for months before possibly seeing Ling Wa Xianzi, but unexpectedly, the Lute Immortal gave him such a pleasant surprise.
And upon seeing the Xianzi wearing the celestial skirt he had given her, Shi Hao was overjoyed and couldn’t help but praise, “Xianzi and that skirt really suit each other, you are simply too beautiful.”
It’s my own skirt, okay? Of course it would suit me.
However, Nüwa couldn’t explain Shi Hao’s misunderstanding.
As for Cai Yun, seeing Nüwa, she was speechless in shock.
How could Master know Nüwa Goddess? To think the Saint herself would pay a visit? And their relationship seemed very close.
My Master clearly leads a secluded life. How could he be so sociable?
“Shi Hao, stop gawking. I’ve brought my sister, don’t forget what you promised me last night.” Fuxi impatiently nudged Shi Hao, who was staring intently.
Nüwa also nodded slightly towards Shi Hao, “I also want to see how Shi Hao fishes in the void.”
“Alright, Lute Immortal, you’re getting impatient.” Shi Hao retracted his gaze and picked up his fishing rod.
The two siblings looked at Shi Hao. They saw him grip the rod, and the vast and boundless River of Destiny, composed of countless causal lines, slowly appeared in the void.
“The River of Destiny can actually be summoned by Shi Hao.”
Witnessing the River of Destiny’s appearance firsthand, Fuxi, who had just begun to explore the Dao of Destiny, was overwhelmed with emotions he couldn’t express. It was the power to manipulate the River of Destiny.
Although Nüwa had already learned the truth from Laozi, hearing it was one thing, witnessing it was another.
Only those who had completely mastered the Dao of Destiny, the Great Dao Infinite Golden Immortals, could do this, right?
Cai Yun was dazed. She felt like she was dreaming after today’s experiences.
Master actually summoned the River of Destiny. I left for a while, and now I barely recognize him.
At the same time, all the Great Dao Golden Immortals and above in the entire primordial world were once again alarmed by the appearance of the River of Destiny.
However, just as they were about to immerse themselves in their contemplation of the Dao of Destiny, the River of Destiny inexplicably vanished from the void.
It appeared and disappeared in a blink of an eye, leaving them feeling like they had been tricked.
After all, Shi Hao only wanted to show it to Fuxi and the others; he wasn’t actually planning to fish, as it wasn’t the time for fishing.
“Is that enough?” Shi Hao retracted his rod, causing the river to dissipate. He looked at Fuxi, seemingly saying that he had fulfilled his promise.
“Shi Hao, how can I be like you?”
Perhaps understanding that Shi Hao’s realm was far beyond his comprehension, even beyond the understanding of a Saint, Fuxi still couldn’t help but ask.
“Haha, maybe it’s because my fishing skills are too high.” Shi Hao never doubted his fishing skills.
The Hundred Arts gifted to him by the sign-in reward, he mastered each one to the pinnacle. Even cultivators couldn’t compare to him.
For instance, the old man of the Human Sect, despite cultivating for countless years, though his cultivation level was unknown, Shi Hao felt he was much stronger than the Lute Immortal, but didn’t he still lose to him twice?
“Shi Hao, can I learn fishing from you?”
While Fuxi didn’t believe that mere fishing skills could help him comprehend the Dao of Destiny, his main goal was to come into contact with the River of Destiny through this.
As long as Shi Hao could teach him fishing, there would be opportunities for Shi Hao to manifest the River of Destiny.
“You want to learn, of course you can.” Shi Hao was ecstatic. Having another fishing buddy was more fun than fishing alone, and it would also allow him to ask the other party to contact Ling Wa Xianzi.
“Shi Hao, when I last spoke to you about Saints, do you know any methods to break through to Saint?” Seeing that her brother and Shi Hao were about to finish their conversation, Nüwa also asked her question.
As soon as she said this, Fuxi and Cai Yun, who was standing beside them, all pricked up their ears.
Shi Hao, on the other hand, was quite speechless. He had initially thought that Ling Wa Xianzi using Saints as an example last time was too unfair.
Hearing her words now, he finally understood that Ling Wa Xianzi’s ambitions were as vast as the sky. She actually had the ambition to prove Dao as a Saint. No wonder she felt he was unworthy of her the first time they met.
It would be good to talk to her, let her know how difficult it was. If proving Dao as a Saint was that easy, the entire primordial world wouldn’t have only six Saints.
“Hehe, of course I know some. But, let’s eat first, and we’ll talk about it after.”
