Primordial Era: I, Emperor Donghua, establish the Immortal Court

Chapter 30 Dongwanggong: Sister Nuwa, may I borrow your merits?

The scene returns to the Heavenly Court.

With Dongwanggong's breakthrough, his secluded cultivation has temporarily come to an end.

When we came out of the pass, the area outside was already packed with people.

They were all from the Heavenly Court, and upon sensing the Eastern King Duke's breakthrough, they came here immediately to offer their congratulations.

The Queen Mother of the West gracefully approached and stood before the King Father of the East, smiling gently like water.

"Congratulations, sir, on the extermination of the three corpses. I have brought people here to offer my congratulations."

As she spoke, the Queen Mother of the West's eyes were filled with undisguised love.

As the only Daoist partner of the Eastern King Duke, and having gone through so much together, her feelings for him are arguably the deepest in the entire primordial world.

She was genuinely happy that the Eastern King had made a breakthrough.

The Eastern King smiled and nodded in response; between the old married couple, everything was understood without words.

On the other side, beside the Queen Mother of the West are the two sisters, Xi and Changxi.

One by one, the mischievous ones stuck out their tongues and offered their congratulations with smiles.

"Congratulations on your breakthrough, Your Majesty! Um... when could you perhaps give us sisters some more guidance again...?"

"Next time for sure, next time for sure."

Dong Wanggong laughed it off.

This is not child's play; there's no easy way to instruct someone on how to dismember their own body.

The next second, three clouds drifted slowly over, transforming into three beautiful figures, and finally landed in front of the Eastern King Duke.

It was the Three Immortal Sisters.

"Congratulations, Master, on your breakthrough!"

The three knelt on one knee, their joy evident.

At the same time, the dragon and phoenix clans behind the Three Immortals all transformed into their true forms, their majestic aura causing them to kneel down in unison before the Eastern King Duke.

As members of the Heavenly Court, they share the same fate, and their shared glory and loss are intertwined. Deng Jindong's breakthrough once again exceeded everyone's expectations, which naturally excited them!

Instantly, dragons roared and phoenixes cried out, their voices booming like bells!

"Congratulations, Heavenly Emperor, on your breakthrough!"

The Eastern King responded with a smile.

Not far from the Eastern King, Nie Xiaoqian, a maidservant, was also very excited.

North Kunlun.

Emperor Jun, Donghua, and the Three Pure Ones Jieyin and Zhunti gathered here.

The first two, with the blessing of the Demon Court's fortune, have now suddenly reached the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint.

The latter few wielded the Primordial Purple Qi, possessing cultivation levels as high as the Azure Clouds. They were not only at the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint, but their cultivation was also far more profound than the first two.

Several people raised their cups and toasted each other in celebration.

Based on their shared dislike of the Eastern King, their relationship grew stronger day by day.

Suddenly, the scene of Dongwanggong's breakthrough occurred.

"Severing the three corpses?"

A powerful aura rose from the sky, and the moral principles contained within it left the group looking at each other in astonishment.

"If all three corpses are severed, wouldn't that mean one can attain the Primordial Chaos Realm at any time?"

Instantly, Emperor Donghuang and Emperor Jun felt extremely uneasy, staring at the distant Heavenly Court, cold sweat pouring down their faces.

The disciples of the Three Pure Ones and the other saints were filled with mixed emotions.

It should be noted that, compared to them, the Eastern King Duke's innate conditions were insufficient, as he did not have a behemoth like Hongjun supporting him.

Just like the Primordial Purple Qi, this is one of the few rare glass treasures in the primordial world.

Dongwanggong did not have the opportunity to obtain it.

At the time, it seemed that after that day, the Eastern King Duke remained in seclusion for a full ten thousand years, leading them to believe that his potential had been exhausted.

However, in retrospect, they underestimated the Eastern King Duke.

The men felt their faces burning with embarrassment, as if they had been severely humiliated.

Meanwhile, at Buzhou Mountain, the sacred site of Nuwa.

Nuwa, dressed in a light veil, slightly raised her beautiful eyes and gazed at the distant horizon.

At the same time as Dongwanggong broke through, she also sensed the opportunity to attain enlightenment.

But she was conflicted.

The Eastern King Duke has already severed all three of his corpses, but she is still stuck at the level of severing two of them.

In comparison, it pales in comparison.

"From this perspective, if I were to attain enlightenment now, my strength would certainly be unmatched by anyone who has severed all three corpses."

"If that happens, it will be difficult to improve our strength again."

Thinking of this, Nuwa bit her lip, her heart filled with inner turmoil.

Should this be proven or not?

"No, this matter cannot be taken lightly. It seems I need to seek clarification from Donghua. Donghua has always been mysterious and extraordinary; perhaps he knows something."

Nuwa shook her head and murmured softly.

She then transformed into a fleeting shadow and vanished from the spot.

The next moment, she arrived in the Heavenly Court.

A powerful divine sense swept over him, causing his pupils to shrink.

"What a terrifying aura! Is this the power to sever all three corpses?"

Nuwa remained expressionless, but thought to herself.

The Eastern King slowly walked out of the palace.

"Fellow Daoist Nuwa? What brings you to my Heavenly Court?"

Nuwa looked at the Eastern King with admiration, bowed deeply, and said...

"Fellow Daoist Donghua, not long ago, I sensed an opportunity to attain Dao, but I only severed two of my corpses. Therefore, I would like to ask you, should I now attempt to attain Dao? And if I do, what will my strength be like?"

Upon hearing this, the Eastern King understood.

"So that's what it was about."

"However, it's not that simple to completely eliminate the three corpses. In the original primordial world, only Hongjun managed to do it."

Thinking of this, the Eastern King smiled slightly and replied.

"Didn't Master Hongjun introduce three methods of enlightenment during his sermons ten thousand years ago?"

Nuwa nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this.

"Yes, they are respectively proving the Dao through force, proving the Dao by severing the three corpses, and proving the Dao through merit."

The Eastern King chuckled and continued.

"Yes, of these three methods of attaining enlightenment, the one by which Pangu attained enlightenment through force is the strongest, followed by the one by severing the three corpses, and then the one by accumulating merit."

"The first two methods of attaining enlightenment are very demanding and difficult to achieve without great fortune and talent. Therefore, it is the best choice to withdraw from the current and change one's path to enlightenment through merit."

Nuwa was speechless, shook her head and sighed.

"No wonder I felt that the last of the three corpses was so difficult to sever."

"It seems that my luck and talent are not enough."

The Eastern King nodded.

"Yes, not everyone can succeed in slaying three households. Fellow Daoist, you don't need to be so fixated on it. Now that the opportunity to attain the Dao has arrived, it is right to do so in time. Being fixated on attaining the Dao through the Three Corpses will only delay you and go against the will of Heaven."

Nuwa understood immediately upon hearing this and showed gratitude.

"Hearing your words is more valuable than ten thousand years of arduous cultivation; I am deeply grateful."

"However, I have a question for you, fellow Daoist: how do you plan to attain enlightenment in the future?"

Dong Wanggong shrugged, indifferent.

"What other plans could I possibly have? I've already severed all three corpses, so at the very least I've achieved enlightenment through the severing of the corpses. I'll just let nature take its course!"

Nuwa looked at the relaxed expression on Dongwanggong's face and was somewhat speechless.

What does it mean to at least "slay the corpse to prove the Dao"?

Look at this, is this even human language? Old Versailles...

The Eastern King looked at Nuwa and asked again.

"Fellow Daoist, since you say you have sensed the opportunity to attain enlightenment, have you clearly understood its specifics?"

Nuwa shook her head.

"I haven't fully understood it yet, and I don't know the answer in my heart. I just vaguely sensed the opportunity to attain enlightenment, which seems to be very close to me."

"this……"

The Eastern King's eyes gleamed as he plotted in his mind.

"Since she is Nuwa, her path to enlightenment must have been to create the human race to accumulate merit, thereby gaining the recognition of heaven and earth and entering the primordial state."

"In that case, if I take Nuwa with me to create the human race, I should be able to get a lot of merit. It seems like a sure thing."

"Although it's a bit underhanded, Nuwa now has the opportunity to attain enlightenment, which means the other powerful beings shouldn't be far behind. The era of sages is about to begin..."

"Sister Nuwa, I'm so sorry. It's better for me to die than for you. I'll borrow your merit today and make it up to you later..."

Thinking of this, the Eastern King suddenly raised his head and laughed.

"Fellow Daoist, since that's the case, why don't I accompany you on a journey through the primordial world? Perhaps the opportunity to attain the Great Dao lies within all living beings?"

Nuwa rested her chin on her hand and thought for a moment.

"Donghua was able to stand out among so many innate masters and even disciples of sages, so he must have extraordinary talent and a deep foundation."

"In that case, going with him into the primordial world to explore opportunities for enlightenment would surely be twice as effective, so why not?"

Nuwa then smiled and nodded in response.

"Very well, it is Nuwa's blessing to be able to travel the prehistoric world with the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Court."

The two smiled at each other and left the Heavenly Court together, heading towards the primordial wilderness.
