Phoenix Perch Mountain.
After the Heavenly Court meeting concluded, Fuxi returned directly here, not lingering long in the Heavenly Court.
At this moment, he and Nuwa sat facing each other.
Nuwa's delicate brows were tightly furrowed. She looked at her older brother, her voice carrying a hint of imperceptible anxiety: "Brother, the Yao Race's current mobilization of troops and generals is on a grand scale."
"They are clearly determined to have a decisive battle with the Witch Race. This battle is dangerous, and I hope… you do not participate in this great battle."
Fuxi was first startled when he heard this, then chuckled softly: "Why?"
His voice was calm, yet carried a hint of confusion.
Nuwa's expression was solemn: "Brother, in this Witch and Demon War, the Yao Race… I'm afraid their chances of winning are not great, and they might even be defeated."
"Brother, why must you wade into this muddy water and risk it with Dijun and Taiyi?"
"Hahaha!"
Fuxi laughed heartily as if he had heard some huge joke, waving his hand: "Impossible! Sister, this is absolutely impossible!"
With a wave of his hand, he declared decisively: "The Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Formation, which Fellow Daoist Dijun and I jointly deduced, possesses infinite power!"
"Once this Formation is set up, drawing upon the power of the stars of the Zhou Tian, there will be no opponent below the Saint level!"
"Even if a true Saint descends, they would have to be wary!"
"In this battle, the advantage is with our Yao Race. How could we be defeated?"
"Sister, do not worry too much. In this decisive Witch and Demon War, our Yao Race will surely win!"
"Once the Witch Race is annihilated, our Yao Race will be able to unify the Grandmist with the might of a great victory!"
"By then, Dijun and Taiyi, perhaps, will be able to achieve Enlightenment to become a Saint in one fell swoop!"
"At that time, Sister, you can peacefully comprehend your Hongmeng Purple Energy without any further worries."
Nuwa looked at her older brother's demeanor, and her anxiety deepened.
She took a deep breath and said with utmost seriousness: "Brother, everything I'm saying is true; I'm not joking with you."
"The Yao Race's chances in this battle are slim."
Seeing Nuwa's unusually serious expression, Fuxi's smile gradually faded, and he asked in confusion: "Sister, why are you so certain?"
"Fellow Daoist Dijun and I jointly deduced the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Formation, and we are intimately familiar with its power."
"Even if those Ancestral Witches of the Witch Race all possess Quasi-Saint cultivation and powerful Physical Bodies, they absolutely cannot withstand the might of this Formation."
"They absolutely have no chance of winning!"
He couldn't understand why Nuwa was so certain that the Yao Race would be defeated.
Seeing this, Nuwa sighed faintly, knowing that without presenting some concrete evidence, she wouldn't be able to persuade her older brother.
So Nuwa decided to tell him everything: "Brother, while you were in seclusion deducing the Formation."
"I… I once visited Wu Ming on Buzhou Mountain, along with the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, and Zhunti."
Fuxi's brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "How did you six go to visit Wu Ming together?"
"That Wu Ming lives in seclusion and has never had a deep relationship with you or me, and the Three Pure Ones are even more arrogant. How could they travel with those two from the West?"
Nuwa explained: "Brother, do you still remember that before you went into seclusion, you sent me a message saying that you and Dijun were going to deduce the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Formation?"
Fuxi nodded: "Of course, I remember. At that time, I didn't know how long I would be in seclusion to successfully deduce the great Formation."
"I was afraid you would worry, Sister, so I sent you a message to inform you. It's just… what does this have to do with your visit to Wu Ming?"
Nuwa sighed: "Brother, please listen to me carefully."
"At that time, when I received your message and learned that Dijun was actually deducing such a terrifying killing Formation, I felt a faint unease in my heart."
"At that time, I had been comprehending the Hongmeng Purple Energy for a long time but had always gained nothing, unable to find the way in, and my worries deepened a bit."
"In desperation, I had an idea and found the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, and Zhunti."
"I wanted to combine the power of the six of us to jointly comprehend the Hongmeng Purple Energy, to see if we could find that glimmer of Opportunity to become a Saint."
"It's just a pity… Alas, the six of us closed off together for a hundred years of comprehension, but we still had no clue, gaining nothing."
"What?!" Fuxi's face showed an expression of disbelief when he heard this.
"The six of you, working together, couldn't comprehend how to become a Saint? This… how is this possible?"
In his opinion, these six were all future Saints bearing the Hongmeng Purple Energy; by comprehending together, they should have certainly gained something.
Nuwa smiled bitterly: "Indeed."
"At that time, the six of us were all somewhat disheartened, even doubting whether the Hongmeng Purple Energy bestowed by the Dao Ancestor could truly help us become Saints."
Fuxi asked in confusion: "Then what does this have to do with your going to see Wu Ming?"
Nuwa said: "Brother, do you still remember when Fellow Daoist Hong Yun gave that Hongmeng Purple Energy to Kunpeng?"
"Of course, I remember."
Fuxi nodded: "This matter caused a huge stir in the Grandmist, and even now, many powerful beings are still discussing it in secret."
"Speaking of which, it was indeed strange that Hongyun so easily abandoned the foundation for becoming a Saint."
"Now that I think about it, he most likely received guidance from Wu Ming to make such a surprising move."
"Exactly," Nuwa affirmed, "we also guessed as much."
"That Wu Ming acts mysteriously but repeatedly discerns heavenly secrets. The matter of Hongyun is very likely related to him."
"Since he could guide Hongyun, he must also know a thing or two about the mysteries of the Hongmeng Purple Energy."
"Therefore, we went to visit with a glimmer of hope, hoping to get some guidance from him."
"And what was the result? Did you get the information you wanted from him?"
Nuwa nodded, her expression somewhat complex: "The six of us each paid some price."
"And we indeed obtained some information about the Hongmeng Purple Energy from Wu Ming."
"It's just… this information wasn't very satisfactory."
"What do you mean?" Fuxi asked in confusion.
Nuwa slowly said: "According to Wu Ming, the six of us are all destined Saints, and we will certainly become Saints in the future."
"It's just that our Opportunity to become a Saint has not yet arrived."
"The time has not come, so no matter how hard we try now, we cannot comprehend the Hongmeng Purple Energy."
"When the time for us to become Saints arrives, there will be no need to deliberately force it; it will naturally happen smoothly, and we will comprehend the Hongmeng Purple Energy and achieve Enlightenment to become a Saint."
Fuxi was stunned: "There's such a saying? Destined Saints? Opportunity not yet arrived?"
He frowned tightly, suspiciously asking: "Sister, he wouldn't be talking nonsense, deliberately teasing you, would he?"
Nuwa shook her head: "That situation is unlikely."
"Deceiving the six of us, future Saints, would bring no benefit to him, Wu Ming, or to his Witch Race. On the contrary, it would completely offend us."
"Wu Ming, though mysterious, has always acted with moderation and does not seem like someone who would do such a foolish thing."
Fuxi pondered for a moment, finding Nuwa's words reasonable: "Hmm, that's true."
"But Sister, what does this have to do with you advising me not to participate in this Witch and Demon War?"
Nuwa took a deep breath: "Brother, at that time, in order to persuade the Three Pure Ones to agree to comprehend the Hongmeng Purple Energy with Jieyin and Zhunti…"
"In my haste, I… I told them the news that the Yao Race was deducing the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Formation."
"What?!"
Fuxi's face instantly changed when he heard this, and he blurted out: "Sister! How could you… how could you tell them this?"
Seeing Fuxi's anger, Nuwa's face also showed a hint of shame, and she whispered.
"Brother, at that time, I was only thinking of comprehending the Hongmeng Purple Energy as quickly as possible, so that I could become a Saint sooner."
"To find a place for you and me, siblings, to settle down, in my haste, I… I didn't think about it so much."
Fuxi looked at Nuwa's guilty expression, and the anger in his heart dissipated somewhat, finally turning into a long sigh.
How could he not understand Nuwa's thoughts? Dijun and Taiyi were ambitious and domineering in their actions, by no means easy to deal with.
For all these years, he had diligently worked in the Demon Clan Heavenly Court, wasn't it also to mediate within it and strive for a glimmer of survival for himself and his sister?
Nuwa felt a little relieved seeing that Fuxi was not overly harsh, and continued: "This matter… this matter was eventually known to Wu Ming as well."
"Brother, do you know what Wu Ming's reaction was when he heard the news that the Yao Race was deducing the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Formation?"
