CHAPTER 801: CHAPTER 729: NEW HEAVENLY RULES

"Eldest Uncle, I really can’t understand why the Western Two Saints suddenly plotted against Lady Nuwa. Please enlighten me, Uncle."

With a gentle smile, Taishang said, "Nuwa is the first Saint after the Taoist Ancestor between Heaven and Earth, and the only female Saint in existence.

Her fortune and opportunities exceed ours. As the marriage Dao between Heaven and Earth becomes more complete, even without obtaining the Concubine Golden Lock, Nuwa will naturally come to master the Marriage Dao.

Currently, though Nuwa is neutral and does not participate in the struggle of Qi Fortune, her actions are inclined towards the East. Therefore, those two from the West do not wish to see Nuwa become stronger, so they set this trap, using Yang Chan to break Nuwa’s opportunity. If they give up now, Nuwa will have no chance to master the Marriage Dao in the future."

Bai Jin exclaimed in surprise, "Aren’t the Western Two Saints afraid of Lady Nuwa’s wrath and retaliation for ruining her opportunity to achieve the Dao?"

Taishang laughed lightly, saying, "Haven’t they already faced her wrath many times? A few more times or a few less won’t make a difference."

Bai Jin said speechlessly, "Usually, Junior Master Zhunti, when seeing Lady Nuwa, either calls her Sister or Fellow Daoist, smiling warmly and acting affectionately. Yet, behind the scenes, he ruthlessly puts her in a dilemma. Truly... truly, you cannot judge a Buddha by its cover!"

With a smile, Taishang Saint replied, "This is perfectly normal. A Saint does not act lightly, but when they do, the cause and effect are always calculated, and their actions are earth-shattering.

Do you know what choice Nuwa made?"

"Reporting to you, Master, Lady Nuwa chose Yang Chan, foregoing the Marriage Dao."

"That is how it should be! Yang Chan was raised under Nuwa like a daughter. If Nuwa chose power over Yang Chan, her Dao Heart would have a flaw, which would be harmful in the long term."

Taishang Saint was not surprised by Nuwa’s choice. Had Nuwa chosen the Marriage Dao, he would have been surprised and alarmed.

"Uncle, now I have a new idea."

"Oh~ What do you plan to do?"

"Lady Nuwa intends to amend the Heavenly Rules, completely severing immortal and mortal marriages.

But I think there’s no need to be so absolute. The current rule is that if an immortal and mortal have a child, one must die.

I want to change it so that an immortal and mortal union will have no offspring, ending in a fleeting lifetime bond."

Taishang Saint laughed, "Changing the soup but not the medicine. When feelings arise, who will still care about your Heavenly Rule?"

"Uncle, if I can amend the Heavenly Rule, Lady Nuwa can wield the Marriage Dao of Heaven and Earth. Combining the Marriage Dao and the Creation Dao, reproductive isolation can be achieved!"

Reproductive isolation is not difficult to understand. Taishang Saint immediately grasped the meaning and nodded slightly, "This is a fundamental solution to the problem."

"Uncle, I am willing to change the Heavenly Rule now, but I don’t have a new Heavenly Rule in hand. What should I do?"

Taishang Saint glanced at the feast on the table and laughed, "I knew your food wasn’t this delicious. This meal is a bit too pricey."

Bai Jin chuckled along, "Being my uncle, who else would I turn to, if not you?

In my eyes, Uncle, you are my umbrella, there is nothing in the Primordial World that you cannot accomplish."

"Haha~ It seems I must help you." Taishang laughed twice.

Bai Jin’s heart lifted. As expected, his Eldest Uncle could amend the Heavenly Rule, so he hurriedly said, "Even if Lady Nuwa gives up the Marriage Dao, she needs time. As long as Uncle can forge a new one during this period..."

Taishang Saint raised his hand and pinched; a mystic yellow copper block appeared, with runes flashing on it.

Ah~ Bai Jin stopped short, dazedly staring at the copper block, feeling a vast aura within it.

"Uncle, what is this?"

Taishang stroked his beard and smiled, "This is the new Heavenly Rule you wanted."

Bai Jin instantly admired him, "Nothing between Heaven and Earth can escape Uncle’s eyes. You’ve already anticipated my request for the new Heavenly Rule and planned ahead."

"Within the new Heavenly Rule, I’ve made some modifications. Go ahead and use it!"

"What changes did you make, Uncle?"

"The Circulation of Divine should conduct a morning assembly every year, at least three hundred days. This is unreasonable. I changed it to ’The Circulation of Divine should conduct a daily morning assembly. If the Emperor permits, it can be exempted.’ What do you think?"

Bai Jin was stunned as thoughts flashed through his mind. So Eldest Uncle also wanted to change the Heavenly Rule, and had prepared beforehand, not wanting to attend morning assembly, was it for Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad?

Bai Jin immediately gave a thumbs-up, praising, "Good! Uncle’s amendment to the Heavenly Rule is excellent. I also feel that having a mandatory daily morning assembly is unreasonable and a waste of time for idle divinities."

He promptly took the new Heavenly Rule from Taishang Saint’s hand, examined it repeatedly, and asked, "Uncle, how should I use this?"

"You will understand once you encounter the Heavenly Rule."

"Then I will go and plan. By the way, Uncle, is replacing the Heavenly Rule easy?"

Taishang Saint kindly said, "If you can get the blessings of other Saints, like your Master, Eldest Uncle, and Lady Ping Xin in the Underworld, replacing the Heavenly Rule is a breeze."

"I’ll take action now!"

Bai Jin bowed and turned into a stream of Divine Light, rushing out of Great Red Heaven.

Taishang Saint was eating the bamboo shoot dishes before him, a smile on his face. This was just what he had hoped for—wanting to change a Heavenly Rule, and Bai Jin came along.

Great Master Xuandu came over, bowed, and said, "Master, you summoned me~"

"Bai Jin is going to change the Heavenly Rule. Go lend him a hand."

Great Master Xuandu exclaimed, "Elder Brother Bai Jin is altering the Heavenly Rule? Doesn’t that mean challenging the Heavenly Dao?"

Taishang smiled, "Bai Jin, Hao Tian, plus you, might just defy Heaven’s will."

Great Master Xuandu respectfully replied, "Yes! I will go prepare now." He quickly departed because defying the Heavenly Rule was no small matter.

...

In Yu Yu Heaven, inside the chess room.

Tongtian sat at the table, facing a sumptuous feast. Bai

Jin sat across from Tongtian Sect Master, chuckling, "Master, this is my new culinary creation with tea leaves; no one in the Three Realms has tasted it yet. Please try it."

Tongtian Sect Master picked up a piece of tea leaf-roasted chicken, tasted it, and said with satisfaction, "Very good!"

"Master, if you like it, I can bring some more next time."

Tongtian Sect Master set down his jade chopsticks, "Let’s talk about delicacies later. I have something to ask you now."

Bai Jin obediently replied, "Please speak, Master!"

"Even Taishang has great-grandsons. When will you bring me a great-grandson?"

"Great-grandson? Who?" Bai Jin responded instinctively, then realized, "Oh, Master, you mean Zhu Ganglie’s daughter, right? That was conceived after drinking the Mother and Child River water."

"You should have some too~"

"Cough cough~" Bai Jin said speechlessly, "Master, who tricks their disciples like this? Besides, I am a Quasi-Saint, containing the Tao Seed within me; the Creation River water doesn’t work on me!"
