Primordial Era: I really don't want to be the Heavenly Emperor!

Chapter 101 Lu Ya: The Great Sun Golden Crow, This is My Way

After Donghua understood his own path, he began to cultivate in seclusion.

During this period, I have been consolidating my realm in the Purple Mansion, comprehending and perfecting the Dao of the Innate Eight Trigrams!

After severing the two corpses, I felt my comprehension of the Dao increased dramatically, and I further comprehended and perfected the previous innate Bagua Dao.

As a result, he felt his connection with the Heavenly Dao growing closer and closer, and now he was just one step away from it.

As long as the origin of the Dao is completely transformed from Wuji to Bagua, and Bagua evolves into the Great Dao, it can leave an imprint on the Heavenly Dao. At that time, one will naturally become the Dao Master who opens up a region of the Great Dao!

In the past few days, besides studying the Great Dao of the Eight Trigrams, he has also been writing a book, the "I Ching," which is later known as the first of all classics. He not only wants to deduce the Great Dao of the Pre-Heaven Eight Trigrams, but also the Post-Heaven Eight Trigrams.

Of course, some people in later generations also called the Tao Te Ching the first of all classics.

However, the fact that the I Ching can compete with the Tao Te Ching for the title of the foremost classic is enough to demonstrate its extraordinary nature.

In the primordial world, it is easy to write a scripture, but it is extremely difficult to write a scripture that is recognized by the Heavenly Dao.

For something to be recognized by the Heavenly Dao, it must first be something that did not exist in the primordial world. Secondly, what you write must completely form your own Dao and be imprinted on the Heavenly Dao with the Great Dao. Only then can it be considered a scripture truly recognized by the Heavenly Dao.

Since Donghua wrote the Book of Changes, it must be a scripture recognized by the Way of Heaven; otherwise, it would be meaningless.

The Book of Changes he wrote was the Lianshan Yi, which was created by Fu Yi in later generations when he created the Eight Trigrams, with the Qian trigram as the main trigram, and the Guicang Yi, which was created by the Yellow Emperor with the Kun trigram as the main trigram.

As for the Book of Changes, he had no interest in it. The Book of Changes was just a method of divination, which also contained some literature and medicine, etc. What use was it to him?

His casual calculations are more accurate than those of the I Ching, not to mention that the current environment cannot create the I Ching.

He casually took out two golden scrolls and began to write down his understanding of the Eight Trigrams in the Great Dao Inscription.

Qian and Kun represent Heaven and Earth, and in the Eight Trigrams, they also represent Yin and Yang. Qian is pure Yang, and Kun is pure Yin. The two are mutually inclusive and transformative. When Yin is pure, Yang is born; when Yang is pure, Yin is born. You are in me, and I am in you; we exist forever as a "whole".

As Donghua wrote, the power of the Great Dao surrounded him. The Great Dao of the Sun and the Great Dao of the Moon alternated with each other, gradually forming the Great Dao of the Eight Trigrams, in which every word contained the ultimate principles of heaven and earth.

Within Jingyang Palace, the Great Dao suddenly surged, and the power of the Dao principles enveloped the main hall!

……

At the border of West Kunlun and East Kunlun, there is a mixture of immortals and gods, including ancient gods who survived from the primordial era, as well as cultivators of immortality in this era.

This is also Lu Ya's training ground.

Inside a cave world, Lu Ya was cultivating, accompanied by the Great Dao of Li Fire. A powerful cluster of Li Fire could easily pierce through space and time.

At this moment, Lu Ya was struggling in the River of Destiny, trying to reach the other side. The surging River of Destiny flowed endlessly, and no matter how much he used all his power of the Great Dao, he could not escape it. Waves directly knocked him out of the River of Destiny.

Lu Ya, who had been swept out of the River of Fate, could no longer hold back and spat out a mouthful of golden divine blood.

After things calmed down, he shouted angrily:

"Hongjun, you're truly ruthless!"

"Everyone praises you and respectfully calls you the Dao Ancestor. You selflessly united with the Dao for the sake of heaven and earth."

"But you have severed the root of my divine path! You are truly ruthless, leaving us with no way to attain enlightenment!"

Lu Ya unleashed a furious punch that pierced through billions of miles, instantly reducing the cave's small world to nothingness and vanishing into the heavens and earth.

After calming his anger, he was filled with boundless sorrow and finally sighed softly:

"After Hongjun merged with the Dao, the Immortal Path flourished. To attain enlightenment, one must cultivate the Immortal Path. Does this mean one must reincarnate and start cultivating again?"

"But once reincarnated, it is unknown when one can return. Moreover, with the great changes in the world, the reincarnated body will certainly no longer be an innate saint. To cultivate to the Great Luo Golden Immortal and awaken the memories of this life will be extremely difficult."

Lu Ya stood atop a mountain, gazing up at the starry sky, his heart filled with boundless desolation.

He was among the first to take human form in this world, and his cultivation had reached the peak of the Ancestral Realm, but now the path to the Great Dao has been severed.

"I, Lu Ya, was born at the dawn of time and attained enlightenment before Hongjun, yet now I have no way to prove my Dao. How cruel is the Heavenly Dao to me, how cruel is it to my divine path!"

After Lu Ya finished sighing, he calmed himself down and thought:

"It seems that this is the only way now. I was originally born from the Dao of Li Fire. After re-cultivating the Dao of Immortality, I must not reincarnate easily if I want to quickly attain the Great Luo Dao."

He slowly fixed his gaze on the Thirty-Third Heaven, and murmured, "Primordial Saints, Great Sun Golden Crow, this is my Way!"

"But to reincarnate in this way, we need to use the Kunlun Mirror, a treasure of time and space."

"The Queen Mother of the West of Kunlun, the King Duke of the East of the Purple Palace—it seems we still need to plan this carefully!"

Lu Ya flew away from Kunlun, transforming into a streak of light, and flew directly to the Thirty-Three Heavens. Then, he concealed his figure and silently entered the Heavenly Court!

……

Even in his Purple Palace, Donghua continued writing the Book of Changes until the very last stroke.

"Hahaha, from this day forward, I, Donghua, am the founder of gossip!"

After the Book of Changes was written, all that remained was for him to fully comprehend the Eight Trigrams of the Primordial Heaven and imprint them on the Way of Heaven, so that it could be widely circulated. At that time, his Way of Donghua would be complete!

"Since arriving in the primordial world, I have severed two of the three corpses and my cultivation has broken through to the peak of the mid-stage Quasi-Saint."

"Now the Purple Mansion World within my body is saturated and perfected, and the Pure Yang True Body has also been cultivated to the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint, with the power of the Great Dao Laws perfected."

Thinking about his current cultivation level, Donghua sighed inwardly, "In the current prehistoric world, this level of strength is definitely among the strongest!"

Among the innate saints of his generation, even the most outstanding ones were only about the same as him in terms of current achievements, and he certainly had the ability to be proud!

But pride is one thing, complacency is another: "Below the level of a Quasi-Saint, all are but ants!"

"Below the sage, all are but ants!"

Zhen Yuanzi, Kunpeng, Styx, and other such figures were undoubtedly the most outstanding people of this era, yet they were suppressed and unable to raise their heads in the era of sages, which is truly a tragedy.

The most pitiful one was Kunpeng, who was attacked by a second-generation disciple of the Xuanmen sect, who, relying on the sacred treasure, directly snatched away the Hetu Luoshu.

It is truly a disgrace!

The Blood Sea and the Styx River were no better off. A top-tier patriarch of the killing path was trapped in the Blood Sea by the Xuanmen and Buddhist sects and dared not come out. In the end, he even sealed off the underworld and reincarnation.

If it weren't for the fact that the Blood Gate was an irreplaceable part of the primordial world's operation, perhaps Styx's fate would also have been reincarnation.

Zhen Yuanzi, who created the path of Earthly Immortals, was suppressed by the combined forces of Buddhism and Taoism. He had a resounding reputation but no hope of attaining enlightenment.

Many of the innate saints of this era ultimately retreated to the mountains and forests, leaving behind only a few traces of their teachings.

"As long as sages exist, great thieves will never cease to exist."

This statement is most appropriate when applied to the primordial world.

"Is the appearance of a sage ultimately a good thing or a bad thing for the primordial world?"

Donghua was filled with emotion, suddenly realizing that his achievements were nothing at all. If he couldn't attain the Primordial Dao, he would just be a slightly larger ant or a slightly smaller ant, with no difference between them.

"The Great Way is boundless and inexhaustible; I must continue to strive!"

P.S.: Please give me some monthly votes at the end of the month!
