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

Chapter 114 Ancestor of Earthly Immortals

Time has passed, and Xikunlun has completely recovered its former prosperity, with no trace of the great battle remaining.

However, the deep shadow of the axe still remains in the east of Xikunlun, a testament to the glory of that battle.

Those who were driven away by the Queen Mother of the West during the last great battle have returned once again.

Actually, they hadn't gone far. Xuan Nu went to Kunlun Mountain for help, while Qingniao and the four divine beasts headed towards the Purple Mansion!

So by the time the last battle ended, they had all returned to Kunlun.

It wasn't that they were unwilling to live and die with Xi Kunlun, but rather that the gap between them was simply too great. After the great formation was broken, people like them, who were at the level of Great Luo and Quasi-Saint, were like tofu in front of Lu Ya, easily crushed.

Under Donghua's arrangement, the Four Divine Beasts once again guarded the mountain gate, Xuan Nu accompanied the Queen Mother of the West, and Qingniao was in charge of the upcoming banquet!

During this period, Donghua also went to the border area between East and West Kunlun.

However, upon arrival, they discovered that Lu Ya's cave dwelling had completely disappeared.

Seeing this, he understood that regardless of success or failure, Lu Ya had no intention of returning here.

It has to be said that Lu Ya's survival ability is really strong!

Donghua, thinking of the legends about him in later generations, looked towards the Heavenly Court and murmured:

"Whether you are Lu Ya of the Blazing Fire or Lu Ya of the Golden Crow, I will annihilate you completely!"

……

West Kunlun, Heavenly Lake!

In the center of Tianchi Lake, nine people—Taishang, Tongtian, Donghua, Xiwangmu, Fuxi, Zhenyuanzi, Hongyun, Jieyin, and Zhunti—sat upright above the lake.

Located in the due east, Donghua was speaking eloquently, expounding his own Great Dao of Bagua, with a massive Taiji Bagua symbol running across the Heavenly Pool.

The sound of Tao permeated the space between heaven and earth, and the others listened with their eyes closed.

"The Eight Trigrams can define the positions of Heaven and Earth, the interaction of Thunder and Wind, the communication between Mountains and Lakes, and the non-interference of Water and Fire. Qian (☰) is in the South and Kun (☷) is in the North, with Heaven above and Earth below..."

……

"This is the Bagua diagram, which cannot be touched, explored, or its flaws observed, nor its wonders discerned. It cannot be used to create its infinite power, even reaching the boundless and limitless Great Dao!"

Having finished his explanation, Donghua had completely elucidated the Great Dao of Bagua, leaving the listeners still immersed in its profound truths.

Before long, Fuxi was the first to open his eyes, and a Bagua pattern flashed in his eyes.

Subsequently, the Lesser Yang Dao manifested around him, gradually evolving into Tai Chi Yin Yang, and finally into the Eight Trigrams.

Seeing this, Donghua was also happy for Fuxi. In this life, he was the first to create the Eight Trigrams, which was almost equivalent to severing Fuxi's Great Dao.

Now that he has preached, it is truly remarkable that Fuxi was able to comprehend the truth of the Eight Trigrams in such a short time and evolve his own Lesser Yang Dao into the Eight Trigrams realm. This is something to be celebrated.

Although Fuxi will not be able to become the master of the Eight Trigrams Dao after this, with the harmony between the Great Dao of the Eight Trigrams and his own Great Dao, his cultivation will surely make a breakthrough this time.

It's all about timing and fate!

Then, the image of Tai Chi Bagua emerged from Tai Shang's body, and finally returned to calm!

The Queen Mother of the West, Tongtian, Zhenyuanzi, and Hongyun also successively comprehended the Great Dao of the Eight Trigrams and deduced their own Great Dao to the realm of the Eight Trigrams.

Although Jieyin and Zhunti did not manifest the Eight Trigrams, they still gained a lot by mutually verifying their understanding with the Western Dharma!

After all, the great paths lead to the same destination. The three thousand great paths are just a figurative number. No one can say for sure how many kinds of great paths there are in the world. Perhaps there are more than three thousand, or perhaps there are fewer than three thousand!

After everyone woke up, Fuxi spoke first:

"Fellow Daoist Taiwei, please accept Fuxi's bow!"

After saying this, he bowed to Donghua, but Donghua did not accept the bow. Instead, he lightly dodged it and helped Fuxi up.

"Fuxi, Fuxi, what are you doing? I am deeply moved that you have come to help Donghua this time."

"The Great Dao of the Eight Trigrams is already engraved in the Heavenly Dao. Even if I don't preach the Dao, with the talents of you fellow Daoists, it's only a matter of time before you comprehend the realm of the Eight Trigrams. Why bother with this!"

Fuxi gave a wry smile and said, "This is different. Today, listening to your explanation of the Great Dao of the Eight Trigrams has truly been an eye-opening experience. My understanding of the Great Dao has advanced by leaps and bounds. This has saved me countless years of hard work. You are truly worthy of this praise!"

To be honest, even Fuxi himself did not expect that the Great Dao of the Eight Trigrams would match his own Great Dao so well, as if it were created specifically for him.

He himself was born under the Shaoyang Dao, possessing both Yin and Yang energies within his body. Now, through the Yin-Yang Bagua, he has pushed his Dao cultivation to a new peak.

The kindness of Donghua preaching today is no less than the kindness of Hongjun imparting the Dao to him!

After Donghua finished explaining the Great Dao of the Eight Trigrams, Taishang also began to speak. Of the few people here, only he and Donghua had broken through to the late stage of Quasi-Saint, so he was not stingy with his own Dao.

He recounts his own philosophy of Yin and Yang!

Then Tongtian, Zhenyuanzi, Hongyun and several others also gave their sermons!

What amazed Donghua the most was Jieyin's enlightenment in a dream and Zhen Yuanzi's path to becoming an Earth Immortal!

It's alright that Jieyin attained enlightenment in a dream, since he had already cultivated the supernatural power of the Three Thousand Great Dreams, so he could understand it.

But Zhen Yuanzi's path to becoming an Earth Immortal is truly amazing!

He hadn't expected the other person to have made such tremendous progress since they last parted ways in the West.

The so-called path of the Earth Immortals is to reside in a blessed land and become an unparalleled true immortal.

Before achieving the Golden Immortal realm, the path of Earth Immortals and the path of Heavenly Immortals are worlds apart.

The path of the Earth Immortals involves evolving the world through themselves, with their primordial spirit residing within their own inner world. Their foundation for existence is their own inner world, which can also be a blessed land or grotto-heaven.

The path of the Earth Immortals can be said to be a boon to those born after birth and those with poor aptitude in the primordial world. They evolve the world and the universe themselves, and naturally, various laws will also evolve within their inner world.

The difference between the Earth Immortal Path and the Celestial Immortal Path lies only in the initial Dao Fruit they condense; there is no absolute difference in combat power.

Thinking of this, Donghua wondered if he could also follow the cultivation methods of the Earth Immortal Path to completely open up a real world and create a great world within his body.

He felt there was potential in this!

He then praised Zhen Yuanzi, saying, "Fellow Daoist, you have reorganized the path of Earth Immortals and brought forth new ideas; you can truly be called the ancestor of Earth Immortals!"

The methods of cultivation for Earth Immortals had been circulating in the prehistoric world since the end of the three lectures at Zixiao Palace, but they were incomplete and unsystematic.

Now, Zhen Yuanzi has integrated the path of Earth Immortals and created a brand-new method of Earth Immortal cultivation, which leads directly to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. It is no exaggeration to call him the ancestor of Earth Immortals!

Upon hearing Donghua's words, Zhenyuanzi stroked his beard and smiled. The others thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

After all, they don't cultivate the path of Earth Immortals, so they can't take over the fortune of that path. Moreover, Zhen Yuanzi, together with Hong Yun and the Dong Wang Gong whose strength is unknown, is a considerable force.

Acknowledging this title today is tantamount to giving away a favor for free; in any case, they suffer no loss.

Thus, Zhen Yuanzi's title as the ancestor of earth immortals was officially established.

All that remains is for him to spread his great Dao widely and eventually gain the recognition of Heaven and Earth before he can become the true ancestor of the Earthly Immortals!

With the sermons finished, the gathering came to an end.

At this point, the group stopped discussing the Great Dao and started chatting idly.

"Fellow Daoist Taiwei, what's the deal with this Lu Ya? I've never heard of him before, yet his cultivation is at the peak of Quasi-Saint?" Zhen Yuanzi asked in confusion.

Donghua pondered for a moment and said, "Do you all remember the Lord of Li Huo in the Kunwu Divine Dynasty back then? He was known as the Treasure of Fire, the Essence of Earth, and the Spirit of Samadhi. I suppose he is this Daoist Lu Ya."

Taishang nodded and said, "Indeed, one can tell from his Dao that this is indeed the person. However, I heard that he died in the war when the Beast King destroyed Kunwu. I didn't expect him to still be alive today. He must be a coward who clings to life!"

"Moreover, this time he still managed to escape with a wisp of his primordial spirit. I wonder what Fellow Daoist Taiwei's plans are?"

Donghua sat upright on the lotus platform, looking relaxed. He waved his hand and said, "It's alright. If we can destroy him once, we can destroy him countless times. Moreover, according to my calculations, I roughly know where that wisp of his primordial spirit went."

He paused here, glanced at Fuxi, and his face was full of mockery:

"After Fellow Daoist Fuxi returns to Heaven, he can go and congratulate Di Jun on the birth of his son, hahaha!"

Upon hearing this, the group was completely bewildered and began to make calculations.

What was originally a vague secret of heaven became easy for the group to calculate after Donghua revealed the result, and they knew what had happened in an instant!

Zhunti laughed heartily, making no attempt to hide his mockery of Dijun and Lu Ya:

"In that case, we really must congratulate the Heavenly Emperor on having such a fine son, and Lu Ya on having such a fine father!"

"Ha ha……"
