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

Chapter 154 If Heaven had not given birth to Donghua, the primordial world would have been shrouded in eternal darkness.

Since his conversation with Fuxi, Donghua's heart has calmed down, free from anxiety and unease.

All that remains is equanimity, facing everything with composure!

"Whether it's Pure Yang, Bagua, or the Emperor's Way, as long as it leads to enlightenment, I, Donghua, will have no regrets!"

Above the Purple Mansion Peak, Donghua sat on a lotus platform, with a vast Bagua symbol behind him, constantly rotating.

With countless principles at his side, he eventually converges in the Eight Trigrams, circulating between heaven and earth, achieving a state of harmony between humanity and nature.

……

Western Spirit Mountain!

Since returning from the chaos, Jieyin and Zhunti have been repairing the earth's veins, and only today have they finally completed the repairs.

In fact, Rahu had already repaired the earth veins near Mount Ling, but the last time the Twelve Ancestral Witches used the Great Array of Heaven, they damaged one of the main veins that Donghua and others had established, which is why it took Jieyin and Zhunti so long.

"Excellent! Excellent! This is a great act of merit!"

Upon seeing the repaired ley lines, Jieyin couldn't contain his joy, and his face lit up with excitement.

However, Zhunti, who was standing to the side, remained sullen and had a gloomy expression.

Although the western ley lines have been repaired, this is the second time they have been damaged, and the spiritual energy is now weaker than before.

"Senior brother, the Witch Clan has gone too far. I cannot swallow this insult."

Jieyin sighed and said, "Junior brother, fortune and misfortune are inherently without form. Whether the calamity we have suffered is a blessing or a curse is still unknown. Do not be attached to appearances, lest you fall into the Three Corpses."

Zhunti snorted coldly. He understood the reasoning, but he really couldn't swallow this insult. The West had finally made some progress, but after this battle, it seemed as if they had returned to the way they were before.

Half of the living beings were killed, the earth's veins were damaged, and the spiritual energy declined again. How could he endure this?

"I, this humble Taoist, must avenge the Witch Clan. I want them to experience that pain!"

After hearing this, he did not try to persuade her further.

Although they share the same goal, their paths differ. They each have their own thoughts and ways of living, so there's no need to force each other; they just need to support one another.

"The Witch Clan is not to be trifled with. The Twelve Ancestral Witches are powerful, and the Great Heavenly Array is extremely strong. Junior Brother, do not be hasty, lest you fall into a great calamity."

Zhunti nodded in agreement after hearing this. He had never doubted the strength of the Wu Clan, but he also had his own confidence.

"Senior brother, the world is currently filled with calamity energy and the secrets of heaven are in chaos. This means that another great calamity is coming, and the witch and demon races are in the midst of this great calamity. This is also the best time to make a move."

At this point, Zhunti gave a sinister smile.

"Since the Twelve Ancestral Witches rely on the might of the Heavenly Emperor, then I will prevent them from setting up the great formation. This will also neutralize the strength between the Witches and Demons, so that both sides can be severely injured, and we can benefit from it."

Upon hearing this, Jieyin was also shocked. The best way to break the Dutian Formation was to kill one of the Ancestral Witches. In this way, the Dutian Formation would dissolve on its own.

However, the twelve Ancestral Witches are one entity, making it extremely difficult to kill one of them in a short period of time.

Moreover, killing an Ancestral Witch would mean enduring the Witch Clan's wrath, which is truly not worth it.

"Junior brother..."

Just as Jieyin was about to say something, Zhunti interrupted him, saying:

"Senior brother, don't worry. I know what's going on. When the great calamity arrives, the aura of calamity will pervade, and we will be lost in confusion for life."

"Moreover, the Twelve Ancestral Witches are not truly one entity; they have their own conflicts. I don't believe that we can't instigate a fight among those barbarian witches."

Jieyin sighed and said earnestly, "Junior brother, as long as we brothers support each other and with the help of the Primordial Purple Qi, we will eventually attain sainthood. Therefore, we must be careful in everything we do."

"Anything done in this world will leave a trace. If you don't want others to know, then don't do it in the first place."

Zhunti nodded solemnly. He had learned his lesson from the last time he stole the treasure, so he would be extra careful this time.

"Senior brother, I have a clear understanding of this matter. I will plan carefully and will not act rashly."

The two looked at each other and smiled!

Then, Jieyin asked with concern, "Junior brother, what exactly are the two great karmic debts that Master spoke of? Can we truly overcome them or repay them?"

Upon hearing this, Zhunti felt a headache coming on, and his hatred for the Wu tribe deepened.

"Although I cultivate the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, the cause and effect that my master spoke of is not manifested in my Dao at all. What can I do?"

After listening, Jieyin pondered for a while, then said, "Since it doesn't manifest on your path of cause and effect, does it mean that these two causes and effects don't apply to us now, but rather to the West, or to us in the future?"

After listening, Zhunti remained silent for a long time. After thinking it over, he could only come up with these two possibilities. Otherwise, since he cultivated the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, it was impossible for such two huge causal relationships not to be displayed.

Jieyin suddenly said, "Junior brother, I have some understanding of the cause and effect of the immortal path, but I can't figure out the cause and effect of the demonic path. And Master's words are so mysterious and profound that they are truly difficult to understand."

"Please explain, senior brother!"

"No matter how the karma of the immortal path is repaid, it must ultimately be settled through humans. And the only people who can represent the immortal path are the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, the Eastern King Duke, the Western Queen Mother, and us."

Upon hearing this, Zhunti understood: "We are Master's disciples. The Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother are the heads of male and female immortals, respectively. Therefore, the karma of the immortal path must fall on these people."

"Is that what you mean, Senior Brother?"

The guide nodded.

Zhunti frowned at this thought. None of these people were pushovers. If it really came down to them, he would definitely skin them alive.

Jieyin looked at the pensive Zhunti and continued with his judgment: "Although Senior Sister Nuwa is Master's disciple, she is also the Demon Empress and the Heavenly Queen Nuwa. The possibility of it falling on her is very small. So it can only be the Three Pure Ones and the Eastern King Duke."

"Although the Three Pure Ones are of noble status and great strength, they have not yet established any immortal forces, so it is difficult for them to represent the general trend of immortals. After thinking it over, only the Eastern Flower of the Purple Mansion is the best option."

After hearing this, Zhunti nodded in agreement and said, "Senior brother, I understand what you mean. As far as the demonic path is concerned, the current representative of the orthodox immortal path in the prehistoric world is Zifu Donghua. He is also the head of the male immortals appointed by our master, so this cause and effect should fall on his head."

Jieyin nodded and said, "That's my opinion, but I can't rule out the possibility that it's the Three Pure Ones, after all, their identities are truly extraordinary!"

Zhunti smiled mysteriously after hearing this and said, "Senior brother, whether it is Donghua or not, it has to be him. The Three Pure Ones are very powerful, and Taishang is very cunning. If the karma falls on them..."

"Whether it is us now or us in the future when we attain enlightenment and sainthood, repaying this karmic debt will definitely not be easy."

"On the other hand, I have dealt with Zi Fu Dong Hua. Although he is very scheming and sometimes hard to figure out, he is also a kind person."

"Moreover, Donghua is now the head of the male immortals. As long as the master does not appear in the world, he can decide the cause and effect of the immortal path with a single word."

At this point, Zhunti paused, looked eastward, and said calmly:

"As for whether others cause trouble for him after he decides on cause and effect, what does it have to do with us? Anyway, our cause and effect are settled."

Even with a sorrowful expression, Jieyin smiled and nodded in approval, saying, "Junior Brother's words are excellent!"

"Senior brother, please remain at Mount Ling and spread the great magic widely. I will go to the East and take the opportunity to avenge the Witch Clan!"

"In that case, I'll trouble you, junior brother."

"For the sake of the West, for the sake of proving the truth, it is only right and proper!"

……

While Donghua was cultivating on the peak, he suddenly sensed a presence, so he stopped cultivating and went to Jingyang Palace, where he happened to meet the Queen Mother of the West emerging from seclusion.

"Brother!"

Donghua stepped forward and asked, "Well, how is it? Is your cultivation going smoothly?"

The Queen Mother of the West laughed heartily and said joyfully, "It went very smoothly. The Heavenly Tribulation Banner is truly a perfect match for my Heavenly Punishment Dao. This spiritual treasure seems to have been made for Heavenly Punishment. It's just a pity that I didn't break through to the late Quasi-Saint stage."

Donghua smiled, took west Wangmu's hand, and the two walked side by side on the blue sea, treading on the waves.

"Junior Sister is right. The Heavenly Tribulation Banner is indeed a supreme treasure of the Heavenly Punishment Path. In the future, Junior Sister can use this spiritual treasure to accomplish a great deed."

The Queen Mother of the West asked in confusion, "A matter of great merit? What is it?"

Donghua then recounted the matter of the Heavenly Tribulation!

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother of the West looked at Donghua in shock, as if she were seeing him for the first time.

"Senior brother, are you really...?"

"Is he truly a great talent? I already knew that."

After Donghua finished speaking, he pointed to the sky and declared domineeringly, "If Heaven had not given birth to me, Donghua, the primordial world would have been shrouded in eternal darkness!"

After Donghua finished speaking, he looked at the Queen Mother of the West with an expression that said, "Praise me!" But instead of seeing a look of admiration, he received a roll of his eyes.

"What I'm saying is that it's truly insidious."

The Queen Mother of the West sighed and said, "When the Heavenly Tribulation occurs, it will surely shock the primordial world. All those who have not yet become Great Luo Immortals will be caught in it. Once the Heavenly Punishment is unleashed, even Great Luo Immortals will find it difficult to escape their doom."

"All living beings hate Senior Brother to death, yet the primordial world bestows merit upon him instead."

"Isn't that ruthless?"

Donghua smiled sheepishly and said slowly, "But it was you who established the Heavenly Tribulation and Heavenly Punishment, not me. Why do all living beings hate me, Donghua?"

The Queen Mother of the West looked at Donghua (д╬)

Donghua said embarrassedly, "Junior sister, don't look at me like that. Heavenly tribulation and heavenly punishment will inevitably occur sooner or later. It's just a matter of whose hand Heaven will use to establish it."

"Moreover, we possess the spiritual root of the peaches of immortality. When all living beings are unable to overcome the calamity, that will be the time for Junior Sister to bestow kindness and righteousness upon all living beings in the primordial world."

The Queen Mother of the West looked at Donghua in shock: "So we created the Heavenly Tribulation for all living beings, and they turn around and thank us for our benevolence?"

"Perhaps, that's roughly the idea."

When he said this, Donghua himself felt that he was too ruthless.

"If anyone ever speaks of my senior brother's loyalty and righteousness again, I'll slap them to death!"

Donghua said helplessly, "Junior sister, this is your biggest misunderstanding of me. How could someone who cultivates the Emperor's Path be ruthless? You have a deep misunderstanding of me. I did all this for you."

The Queen Mother of the West sneered and pointed at Donghua, saying, "You? Cultivating the path of an emperor? But I remember someone once declared to the world that he had given up cultivating the path of an emperor. How come you are cultivating it again now?"

Donghua: "..."
