The wooden sacred staff in Daji's hand is the same peach wood staff used by the great sorcerer Kuafu in the past. The Wuzu rely solely on their bodies for combat, using all the celestial treasures they find to strengthen themselves and enhance their bloodline concentration, not needing any magical items at all. After arriving in the netherworld, there are no magical items to be found.
Meng Po carefully selected, and pulled out the wooden staff that the great sorcerer Kuafu used to chase the sun in the past, allowing Daji to hold it as a defense.
This wooden staff can be light or heavy, large or small. When the bearer walks the earth, their strength will be unusually abundant, and it can be considered a reinforced Golden Ring Staff.
Combined with the detection function of the De ting ability, and the paper figure techniques from the "Six Realms Samsara Classic," Daji's combat strength may not be particularly strong, but she is certainly tenacious and unlikely to die easily. Even if she does die, it's not a big deal really!
Deng Chanyu was pushing her to practice martial arts while contacting Nu Wa.
How should we handle the Xuan Yuan Water Controlling Banner? Could you please provide some guidelines or instructions?
Nuwa replied quickly: "In two days, come to the Hall of Nuwa."
Deng Chanyu had only met the incarnation of Li Mountain's old mother and hadn't seen the original Nuwa at the Hall of Nuwa, so at this moment, she was a bit excited. The feeling was similar to meeting an online friend.
Although she didn't know why it was two days later, she still took a bath and changed her clothes, adjusting her state to be ready. Nuwa's sanctuary was located in the Tai Su Heaven, beyond the Thirty-three Heavens, and without sufficient magic power and physical strength, it really wasn't possible to go that far.
At this time, the Hall of Nuwa.
Hearing that "netizen" was coming, Nuwa hurriedly ordered Qing Luan and the two maidens to tidy up.
"Color Cloud! straighten up the things in the corner over there."
"Green Cloud! Go, clean the beams for me."
"Oh, Little Qing, this cloud bed of mine seems to be a bit off. Oh, and quickly put away the viewing mirror for observing the three realms!"
Qing Luan was busy and sweating profusely, and now she started to complain: "Your Majesty, with such a big mirror, where am I supposed to put it away?"
Nuwa looked around and said, "I've received the Land and Society Landscape Painting! The painting is still with Deng Chanyu, oh, that... put it under your bed! If Deng Chanyu sees it, tell her it's yours! Remember!"
"I'm leaving now!" Just one day later, Deng Chanyu packed her belongings and, with a slightly excited heart, embarked on her journey to meet the "netizen."
There's no choice, the journey is too far, and her cultivation is low, so she had to leave early.
Daji smiled and waved goodbye, and as soon as she rode the cloud away, she threw the stick she was holding and decided not to practice for the time being. She went back to rest in her room!
In fact, transforming into a phoenix would make the journey much faster, but Deng Chanyu always remembered the advice from Li Mountain's Old Mother and her human identity, so she drove the cloud steadily.
Soon, she left the mortal realm and entered the heavens.
At present, the Three Realms haven't been separated yet, so the connection between heaven and earth is very close. They share a sky, and the spiritual energy is connected between heaven and earth. The saying "One day in heaven is equal to a year on earth" doesn't apply.
The spiritual energy in heaven is much denser than that in the mortal realm. However, the scene before her eyes appeared quite empty, with broken walls and ruins of palaces scattered around. She glanced at them as she passed by, and they were all empty inside.
She glanced at everything superficially, and then continued to climb upwards. The first heaven and the second heaven were as easy as climbing stairs.
As she passed a structure resembling the Southern Gate of the Heavenly Palace, she stopped to watch it for a long time.
The Four Great Kings are still under Master Wen's command, eating lamb skewers. It is impossible for them to come and guard the gate. The names of Pom, Liu, Gou, Gai, Deng, Xin, Zhang, and Tao are all nonexistent. Now, the gate is guarded by two heavenly soldiers. Based on their roots and background, they seem to have been transformed into soldiers by a powerful practitioner using an incantation of magic.
Deng Chanyu had an art that could conceal her scent, but she only looked from a distance and did not enter, because there was a treasure mirror hanging at the gate of the Southern Gate.
It's a pretty good place, but it lacks personnel to manage it properly.
Deng Chanyu thought that if she were the supreme deity, she would clean up the central area, including the Ling Xiao Treasure Hall and the Dou Lüe Palace, building them into luxurious abodes. Would ordinary immortals not buy some houses or palaces to follow in the footsteps of the big shots? Proximity to water, you understand? In the future, after all these palaces outside the central area are sold in batches, it would be like having a thousand rooms under one roof and then tidying up to make a fortune.
Deng Chanyu felt that the Sky God was a bit unwise. He had reincarnated many times, undergone many hardships and tribulations, but it seemed very inspiring. However, in reality, what is the point? As long as one is willing to endure hardship, there will be endless hardship. Why bother?
Deng Chanyu couldn't understand the Sky God's path of suffering. She glanced at the Southern Gate of Heaven again, calculating how much she could charge from passing travelers each day. With increasing pressure, she continued to ascend.
Leaving the Thirty-third Heaven is actually equivalent to leaving the traditional concept of the primordial world.
The Ling Xiao Treasure Hall of the Sky God is located on the Thirty-third Heaven, which was originally the topmost and highest place. Holy people naturally wouldn't want to be under him, so Nuwa had already established a new realm named Tai Su Heaven on the thirty-third level of heaven above.
All the holy beings had made the same choice as her.
Laozi opened up the Great Red Heaven in the chaos, the Yuan Shi Tianzun opened up the Great Luo Heaven, the Tongtian Emperor opened up the Yu Yu Tian, and the two saints, JieYin and Zhitui from the Western world, opened up the Pure Land.
Now, the Three Sovereigns and Zhitui were all situated in the mortal realm for their respective large religions and qi yun. Except for JieYin's diligent cultivation in his Pure Land with the words "Amitabha does not compete, hence he does not lose," the remaining only resided in Nuwa's Hall of Nuwa in Tai Su Heaven or Li Guangyeyu in Yuantian.
The Hall of Nuwa is situated at the center of Li Guangyeyu.
The towering palace was surrounded by seven-color cloud and rainbow, which looked very similar to Nuwa's residence in Li Mountain in the past. There were a total of ninety-nine steps.
Deng Chanyu took a step up and immediately felt herself enveloped by the omnipresent Daoist essence. Some of the Dao she seemed to be able to see clearly, while others were blurred. The familiar ones were Daofu, Zhuye, herbs, and shamanism. There were far too many unfamiliar ones. With her current low cultivation, she dared not look at them for long. She could only mechanically climb up and found that there were even more steps beyond the ninety-nine steps. She scratched her head in confusion and thought how high it was. There was no choice but to continue climbing upwards.
"Oops! A-Yu came a day early!"
Inside the Hall of Nuwa, there was a scene of pandemonium.
The two maidens hurriedly washed their faces and hands, Qing Luan took off her embroidered shoes and hastily changed clothes, while Nuwa increased the number of steps to nine hundred and ninety-nine, and closed her eyes to meditate, putting herself into a state of enlightenment.
Ordinary immortals hold enlightenment in high regard; once they achieve it, their path to cultivation becomes much easier.
Holy beings are not like that. They are the embodiment of the Dao itself! When they achieve enlightenment, it's a matter of giving the Dao face!
Everything was prepared in the Hall of Nuwa, and Deng Chanyu finally climbed the nine hundred and ninety-nine steps. She was so exhausted that she stuck out her tongue and felt dizzy.
This place is really high, and you have to climb so many steps to come and go every day. Don't you find it troublesome?
