Even though she could not see, Nüwa nodded, "Oh, so this is what you're talking about? It's ready."
Deng Chanyu paused for a moment: "When did it get ready?"
While Nüwa was biting on a pen and gesturing for Qingluan to turn the page, she answered casually: "Before one incense burn."
Deng Chanyu was speechless, "I ran from the Peach Village in Xiangxi to Diannan. It's been about an incense stick's worth of time, right?"
So that means when I started running, you had already found the true body of Panhu? Had I known that, what was the point of all that running!
It can only be said that the gap between level-nine cultivators is huge, and the gap between level-nine cultivators and sages is even huger! The gap is so large that it has no bounds.
With her teacher's help, Deng Chanyu felt confident. However, her posture of running madly and her legs spinning like a windmill was completely different from the words she spoke.
She said loudly, "Heavenly way above, as a disciple, Deng Chanyu senses the suffering of the people in the world from the five poisons. Today, I wish to make a great vow here. I wish to establish an incense altar, invite the Tao's true essence, purify all faiths in the ten directions, burn incense and recite wondrous scriptures, follow teachings and express gratitude, open a path position, offer joss sticks and lamps, request heavenly talismans, eliminate pests and toxins, and cure the people of my Shenzhou!"
She revised the prayer she used against Lu Yu's plague of the past, and recited it again.
Previously, I was dealing with the plague. This time, it is the five poisons, as well as the Panhu Old Ancestor who controls them.
The five poisons refer to venomous snakes, centipedes, scorpions, toads, and geckos. These five poisons are essentially the foundation of Panhu's poison charm. It's unrealistic to eliminate all insects in the world, and the Tao would not permit her to do so. Her great vow does not aim to completely eradicate these five types of poisonous insects; instead, it is to sever their path to immortality. From now on, it will be difficult for these five kinds of toxic creatures to become immortals.
Once the vow is recognized by Heaven, creatures like Lu Yu who give up their human form and take on the body of a pest cannot become immortals even if they consume one hundred tons of poisonous plants.
After Deng Chanyu's introduction, she began to narrate her intentions, benefits, and difficulties of eliminating the five poisons and Panhu.
Panhu: "???"
Zhusheng: "???"
ZhunTi smiled and said nothing.
Deng Chanyu was threatening Panhu with words while running away at full speed. After she finished her great vow, Panhu finally realized something was amiss. His huge hand stopped pursuing and rapidly pulled himself out of the Primordial World.
"Old dog, now thinking of running? It's too late!" Following Deng Chanyu's reprimand, a spiritual sword flew out from the palace of Nüwa in TaiSu Tian.
Nüwa dislikes confrontation and does not wish to involve herself in any inexplicable battles. She is not lacking in primordial treasures or merit, so she does not require the series of cultivation patterns for "striving for Dao," but she does have protective divine weapons.
The four limbs of the divine tortoise were severed on that day with this primordial spirit sword known as the "Sword of Cutting Demons."
You chased my disciple for an incense stick's time, and she retaliated with a sword, which is reasonable, isn't it?
The sword light instantaneously cut through space, slicing the hand's tiger's mouth area.
The gray-white giant hand began to develop spiderweb-like cracks from the wound. Nüwa, who controls the way of creation and life, can imbue objects with life. These days, it's difficult to create something new, but easy to destroy it. She can also reverse the process of deprivation of life. At this moment, we saw the vitality quickly disappear from the palm, cracks turned into stone, and fragments of stone fell from the sky like rain. The extinction of vitality quickly spread to the entire palm and then extended towards the wrist.
Panhu was resolute, immediately severing his path of cultivation, while his true form hid in a more concealed small world to try to evade the strike of the sage.
Unfortunately, he overestimated himself and attempted to use his abilities to guess the thoughts of the sage.
Nüwa's Sword of Cutting Demons instantly broke through countless small worlds that could be considered on the level of grains of sand in the Ganges River, rapidly jumping between worlds. The bloodline doubles of Panhu, which he left behind in these worlds as decoys, were one by one killed.
These doubles took on various different forms.
Some were in ordinary human form. Even the doubles themselves did not know they were "fish" placed by Panhu outside the world. In an instant, their souls were cut by the sword light, and they perished both physically and spiritually.
Some were the totems of living beings worshipped in a small world, while others were simply gods or beasts that were alive in a small world.
Their fates were all the same; a flash of light and they lost their vitality.
Panhu was continuously cutting his true form and external manifestation, his cutting speed was fast, and Nüwa's pursuit speed was even faster.
When a vast thousand-worlds filled with insects were quickly cut down by the sword light, causing the billions of bugs to lose their vitality, the Sword of Cutting Demons finally caught up with Panhu's true form in a small thousand-worlds swampy land. It was an old and ugly withered man.
Nüwa, the female warrior who likes collecting stamps, showed a disdainful look. As the sword light quickly passed by, none of the numerous spirit treasures and over a hundred protection formulae on Panhu's body, as well as his refined physical body, had any effect. He was instantly cut off from all vitality and perished both physically and spiritually, without even the chance to be added to the list of those who achieved immortality.
A mighty being who took shape shortly after the creation of the heavens and the earth has fallen.
Since Deng Chanyu first made a great vow, and then Nüwa "saw injustice" and helped to defeat Panhu, it is natural that merits would be bestowed upon her.
In the moment of Panhu's fall, it seemed as if a rain of gold had fallen. This was an act of heaven-bestowed merits.
Deng Chanyu, even with her meticulous "plan," bears the cause and effect of the event. However, the main work is still completed by Nüwa. Without Nüwa, Deng Chanyu's "plan" could be as elaborately beautiful as a thousand times over, but it would be useless.
Eighty percent of the merits went to Nüwa, who was indifferent to these merits and casually accepted them.
If it weren't for the disciples' urgent request, she wouldn't have bothered with this. She has plenty of merits already, and adding a few more wouldn't make a difference.
Deng Chanyu was ecstatic to receive the two percent, which was more than she had ever received from any of her previous great or small vows.
This is the reward from the Tao for directly extinguishing an old brand of level-nine cultivator who had existed for an unknown number of years.
The Hongjun was very dissatisfied with such old brand level-nine cultivators who gobbled up the spiritual qi of the Primordial World without any contribution, swallowing and emitting it day and night. However, the core principle of the Tao is "The heavens and the earth have no compassion; they treat all things as worthless sacrificial lambs." Even its managers do not favor any side.
Now, he doesn't even need to intervene himself; someone has cut off Panhu. The causal line is very clear, and Panhu died in peace.
With Panhu's death, a whale fell, and all things came into being. A large amount of spiritual qi was returned to the Primordial World, as well as the vast worlds that depend on it, causing the entire primordial world to experience a subtle increase in its fortune.
The Tao approved of such actions, so it bestowed upon Deng Chanyu an abundance of merits that could be considered as vast as the sea.
Panhu's doubles in all sizes of worlds and his true form were all cut down by Nüwa with a single sword. The spirit insects under his control also lost their original effects. Just as he had just escaped control, a hammer the size of a watermelon crashed down on his face.
