A lie needs countless lies to cover up. If we had been honest at the beginning, saying that whether a sainted teacher like us practices or not, it would make no difference. Now there is no need to act pretentious in front of disciples, and even Nuwa finds it exhausting. However, we were pretending at the beginning for our sainted person image, and we must continue to act so now.
As the first Daoist Sage after Hongjun, Nuwa is indeed favored by the Honghuan world. While her mind is wandering aimlessly, her body has automatically begun to cultivate.
Deng ChanYu dared not disturb, and quietly waited for a long time before she finally completed her cultivation.
Nuwa's concept of time is entirely different from ordinary immortals. She thinks the story about the divine tortoise is still far away and doesn't worry about it at all. However, she is a bit concerned about her own fabrication of cultivation methods for disciples, wondering if they might come to complain now.
As expected, Deng ChanYu's first words made her heart skip a beat.
"Teacher, when I practice the 'Nuwa Great Infinite Primordial Canon' that you taught me, I always feel there's something off. Is this cultivation method a bit too domineering?"
That's not just "slightly domineering" - it's extremely domineering.
Qingluan behind Nuwa quickly turned her face to the side, not letting Deng ChanYu see her expression.
She was an important prop in the creation of the "Primordial Canon." Although she had only read a small part of the content, she could still tell. The new cultivation method written by Nuwa on the front page was said to be suitable for Xuanxian immortals. According to her estimate, it should be just right for a Great Primordial Golden Immortal to practice! For a little Xuanxian immortal like you to practice this, feeling that it's domineering is completely normal!
That's right. Deng ChanYu has the extraordinary physical fitness of the Feng Tribe as a foundation, so if it were an ordinary immortal, they could go seek company with Huang Long Zhenren at this time.
Nuwa glanced at her with a sly narrowing of her eyes. "Are you smiling? Don't smile!" Quickly, Qingluan pursed her lips and assumed a serious expression.
Deng ChanYu looked at them strangely. What's going on?
Nuwa quickly redirected her attention. In just a breath, her mind went through countless thoughts in an instant. She quickly came up with a new excuse: "This is because I did not explain it to you clearly enough. The principles of heaven and earth are immersed in Yin and Yang, so Yin and Yang are superior. In the past, I asked you to practice your inner strength by the river, to strengthen your willpower and cultivate a resilient mind. Today, I will ask you again, which one is superior - Yin or Yang?"
This is a basic question that even Nezha knows.
Deng ChanYu replied with a quote from the Yellow Emperor's Classic of the Inexhaustible Life: "With changes pushing against each other, Yin and Yang are in harmony. Neither Yin is superior nor Yang is superior; it is change that prevails."
Nuwa nodded: "Yes."
The master and disciple fell silent. Deng ChanYu thought carefully for a teapot's worth of time, then suddenly enlightened: "My teacher's meaning is that even if I have a deficiency in my kidney water, once I reach the true realm of Yin and Yang, it can be reversed. It doesn't necessarily have to be entangled with the interdependence and conflict of the Five Elements, right?"
I seem to have missed the point. Lately, I've been eating too many melons every day, and for a moment, even I forgot how the original text of the "Nuwa Great Primordial Canon" was written. With her right hand hidden in her sleeve, she secretly calculated and compared it with the original text. She felt that Deng Chanyu's current understanding was not quite right, but also not wrong. That kidney water thing isn't all that important; if it's deficient a bit, it's no big deal; we can make up for it later.
She nodded again: "Yes."
Rarely did Deng ChanYu get to see her master, so she brought up many difficulties in her cultivation and asked for guidance. Most of the time, Nuwa guided her, allowing Deng ChanYu to formulate the answers on her own.
Deng ChanYu felt that if she had a progress bar, the outcome of this master-disciple conversation would definitely be "Intelligence +1" and "Intelligence +1." She was overjoyed in her heart.
Nuwa also smiled, nodding yes, "No problem."
Qingluan, on the sidelines, was turning red with embarrassment, "You two are an amazing master-disciple pair."
Nuwa thought it was no problem, and Deng ChanYu also found it quite reasonable. Her teacher had transformed into a Great Primordial Golden Immortal, so how would she know about the cultivation methods for Xuanxian immortals? The "Lishan Mother's Mystical True Canon" was more or less a basic cultivation method of the Xuanmen school. Some incantations that Fenghuang had seen before seemed to be on Zhu Ganglie, and similar methods in the three schools should be roughly the same, just for laying a foundation. The "Nuwa Great Primordial Canon" was the true masterpiece.
