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

Chapter 179 Becoming a Disciple, Ascending to Heaven from Buzhou

Upon hearing Hongjun's words, Donghua was indeed somewhat unwilling, after all, he had fought to this point and had completely crippled the demon race.

Empress Xihe has perished, Emperor Jun has perished, the whereabouts of Donghuang Taiyi are unknown, and two of the Ten Great Demon Saints have also died.

With such a victory, how could he possibly stop?

How will he explain this to everyone in the Purple Mansion?

Now, what Donghua needs to do is to wield his sword to slay demons, conquer the Thirty-Three Heavens of Heaven in one fell swoop, occupy the starry sky, and then fight a decisive battle with the Witch Court to unify the prehistoric world.

But as soon as he thought of this, he felt that it was so familiar. Upon closer inspection, wasn't this the witch and demon races from his original world?

Although the demon race is now severely weakened, the strength of the witch race has not been greatly affected. Only the ancestral witch Shebishi has perished, in addition to the rampage that Longbo previously wreaked in the witch race.

But what do these injuries amount to?

Donghua felt a headache coming on when he thought about this. The fight between the snipe and the clam meant that the fisherman would benefit, and in the end, the Wu tribe got the advantage.

Moreover, this battle exposed all of his and Zifu's methods and forces, making it impossible for them to develop peacefully in the future.

The Wu Clan will definitely see themselves and Zifu as thorns in their side. This battle is unavoidable and inescapable.

His path to becoming the Heavenly Emperor was long and arduous!

Donghua bowed deeply to Hongjun, his eyes filled with sorrow, and slowly said:

"Teacher Qi, you entrusted Junior Sister Yaochi to me. I, Donghua, am incompetent and failed to protect her. Now that she has perished, I am extremely ashamed. Please punish me, Teacher."

Haotian, standing to the side, did the same; his eyes instantly reddened, and he knelt before Hongjun, bursting into tears.

"My lord, Haotian is incompetent, Haotian is incompetent! I failed to protect Yaochi. Please punish me."

Hongjun was deeply moved by this and personally helped the two up, sighing, "It's alright, it's alright. Yaochi was destined for this tribulation. She will be reincarnated again soon. After this experience in the mortal world, she will surely be able to break through to the Quasi-Saint level more easily, which is a good thing for her. There's no need to worry too much!"

Upon hearing this, Haotian stopped crying, overjoyed, and quickly bowed to thank Hongjun.

The people standing by also looked envious and couldn't help but sigh. Sure enough, in the primordial world, you still have to rely on your connections.

They perish and are reincarnated, and it takes them countless hardships to undergo tribulations and cultivate themselves before returning.

She fell from grace and was reincarnated, yet she was able to return quickly and even cultivate herself into a quasi-saint, with limitless potential, truly enviable.

Although these things are still uncertain, since Dao Ancestor Hongjun has already spoken, it's a done deal.

Seeing that his emotions had been properly built up, Donghua said with a wronged expression, "Teacher, my Purple Mansion has no ambition to dominate the world, yet we have suffered such a calamity. It is truly undeserved. However, since you say that the fate of the demon race is not yet over, Donghua is willing to listen to your words and not pursue the matter any further."

After saying that, she looked heartbroken, as if she had made some momentous decision for Hongjun, and was extremely reluctant to part with him.

Hongjun smiled, but then directly pointed out, "You slippery fellow, but you did indeed give up an opportunity, so I should compensate you."

At this point, Hongjun stopped, his aura surging, and looked at Donghua, asking, "Donghua, would you be willing to become my disciple?"

Although Donghua was at the peak of Quasi-Saint, he was still intimidated by this aura. From his primordial spirit to his Great Dao, he was completely silenced and could not mobilize it at all.

I can only answer based on my instincts and my own thoughts:

"Thank you for your kindness, teacher! I am willing!"

Hongjun chuckled softly, "Good, good, good!"

"I have four direct disciples and two nominal disciples. Now that you have joined my sect, you will become my fifth direct disciple, ranking fifth!"

Upon hearing this, Donghua prostrated himself and said, "Disciple greets Master!"

Seeing this, everyone's eyes were filled with envy, wishing they could take his place. After all, he was the Dao Ancestor's personal disciple.

Look at Hongjun's other disciples. They possess supreme treasures, are blessed with good fortune, are favored by heaven and earth, and have the key to becoming saints, the Primordial Purple Qi.

How can anyone not be envious!

Meanwhile, Zhen Yuanzi, Hongyun, and others offered their congratulations, saying, "Congratulations to the Dao Ancestor for taking on such a fine disciple, and congratulations to Donghua for finding such a renowned master."

Hongjun chuckled a few times, then gestured for Donghua to rise, and said:

"I have bestowed upon your other senior brothers and sisters great treasures, all of which possess primordial purple energy. But now, it seems I cannot give you anything."

"Under the Primordial Purple Qi Heavenly Dao, there are seven portions in total, and they have all been distributed. But this old Daoist himself is completely empty-handed, without a single spiritual treasure. What can he do?"

Upon hearing this, Donghua immediately said, "Master, what's with all this talk of magical treasures? I'm already very content that you accepted me as your disciple and taught me the Great Dao. I dare not ask for more!"

Hongjun said, "Since I have accepted you as my disciple, I must give you something in return. Right now, I only have a Creation Jade Disc, which I cannot give to you."

"However, I can give you a few days to study it. There are some supernatural powers on it that I have comprehended. You can also practice a bit of them. After I have crafted a treasure for you, I will take it back."

After Hongjun finished speaking, he took out the Jade Disc of Creation and handed it to Donghua.

This scene was the envy of everyone else. This was the Jade Disc of Creation, a supreme treasure of the Heavenly Dao containing the Three Thousand Great Daos.

Just by studying it for a period of time, one can definitely make further progress in the Three Thousand Great Daos.

Zhunti, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but want to reach out and take it, but in the end, he suppressed his impulse.

Even the Three Pure Ones showed envy. Although they had innate treasures, they were still inferior to the Jade Disc of Creation. However, it wouldn't matter if they only studied it for a few days.

Upon seeing this, Donghua quickly took the Jade Disc of Creation and stored it in his Purple Mansion World.

"Thank you, Master!"

Hongjun nodded, raised his hand and unleashed several beams of immortal light, filled with the power of the Heavenly Dao. The islands in the Purple Mansion that had been damaged in the great battle were instantly restored to their original state, and spiritual energy flowed back!

After doing all this, Hongjun said, "The world is about to undergo a great change. You must cultivate diligently, attain Hunyuan status as soon as possible, and become sages!"

"We will heed our Master's words!"

After Donghua finished speaking, he asked, "Master, where are Luo Hou and Donghuang Taiyi? Has Di Jun truly perished?"

Upon hearing this, Hongjun said frankly, "Rahu has already left the prehistoric world and is in the chaos. As long as the great era of the demonic path does not come, Rahu cannot descend upon the prehistoric world."

"Donghuang Taiyi is now in the Heavenly Court. As for Dijun, he has perished. Although Rahu took away a trace of his true spirit, there will never be another Dijun in the prehistoric world."

Upon hearing this, Donghua understood. In that case, the demon race now only had Donghuang Taiyi left, but he was not a threat!

After Hongjun finished speaking, he left immediately!

With Hongjun's departure, it seemed as if everything had come to an end.

Dijiang stepped forward, looking at Donghua with a complex expression, and slowly said, "Donghua, we thank you for your help this time, and we will repay you in the future. However, in the struggle for the Great Dao, there is no room for compromise. We will do it again in the future!"

"Dijiang, Donghua and Zifu have never thought of pursuing the position of Heavenly Emperor, but it is because of your relentless pressure that we have reached this situation today."

"But after today, my Purple Mansion will leave the East Sea. If you know what's good for you, then don't fight, lest you end up like Emperor Jun!"

Donghua's voice was calm yet threatening, because the Purple Mansion could no longer remain hidden, but he also could not relinquish the position of Heavenly Emperor.

Therefore, war is the only option between them!

Moreover, to truly secure the position of Heavenly Emperor and achieve the nobility of Great Heavenly Venerable, the Witch Clan is an unavoidable link.

Only by defeating the Wu tribe and ascending to the Heavenly Court from Buzhou can one be considered the true Heavenly Emperor and the Great Heavenly Venerable of all the heavens and the universe!

Because that would have meant that the lich had completely withdrawn from the historical stage of the prehistoric world.

Dijiang gave Donghua a deep look, his eyes filled with apprehension, and then left the Purple Mansion with the other Ancestral Witches and Shebi Shi. Houtu did not leave, but stayed behind.

On the demon side, Demon Master Kunpeng nodded in acknowledgment, then led Demon Master Palace, along with Bai Ze and several other demon saints, to the Heavenly Court.

Donghua saw this scene but didn't say much. Since he had promised Hongjun not to make a move again, why should he do it and act like a villain?

After the Lich and Demon races left, many powerful figures stepped forward to congratulate Donghua.

Zhen Yuanzi stroked his beard and said, "Congratulations, fellow Daoist! Congratulations! This time, you not only destroyed Di Jun and crippled the demon race, but you also achieved the peak of Quasi-Saint cultivation and became the Dao Ancestor's disciple. I am truly envious! I, Zhen Yuanzi, am only at the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint!"

The Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Fuxi, Hongyun, and even the Styx Ancestor stepped forward to congratulate Donghua.

Donghua thanked them politely, then said to the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa, "Greetings, senior brothers and sisters!"

"Greetings, Junior Brother Donghua!"

Nuwa gave a soft "hmm" and said, "Greetings, Junior Brother Donghua!"

Taishang also seemed very easygoing, and even the arrogant Yuanshi was no longer arrogant, after all, Donghua's cultivation was a realm higher than his.

Now, his status is the same as his, both being direct disciples of the Dao Ancestor. It seems that all his pride has disappeared, and he can crush him in every way.

The only thing worth celebrating is that he possesses the Primordial Purple Qi, which enables him to attain the status of a sage.

Tongtian stepped forward and patted Donghua on the shoulder, saying, "Congratulations, fellow Daoist, congratulations, junior brother! Your cultivation has now surpassed ours. However, our teacher also said that those who go first are not necessarily the first to win. It all depends on who among us will attain the Primordial Dao first!"

Donghua smiled, looking very happy, after all, among Hongjun's disciples, Tongtian was the one with whom he had the best relationship.

There was no entanglement of interests, no excessive scheming, and it felt more like a friendship between bosom friends!

However, it must be said that Tongtian was also a very arrogant person, in no way inferior to Taishang Yuanshi.

This sounds contradictory, but it's not contradictory at all. You can tell from Yuanshi's arrogant appearance, while Tongtian seems very easygoing on the surface, but his arrogance is deep in his bones.

As for the Supreme Being, needless to say, the Supreme Being who has not yet become a saint is still alright. After becoming a saint, his eyes will only be on the Heavenly Dao and the Great Dao. The Supreme Being forgets emotions and does nothing yet accomplishes everything!

After the greetings were exchanged, Donghua looked at Jieyin and Zhunti, who were pretending to be dead, and asked seriously, "Why are you two junior brothers unhappy?"

Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance, realizing they couldn't keep up the pretense any longer, and could only step forward and say, "Greetings, Senior Brother Donghua!"

Donghua laughed heartily. Since his master said he was ranked fifth, then Jieyin and Zhunti could only be his junior brothers. After all, a personal disciple is a personal disciple, which is incomparable to a nominal disciple.

Donghua looked around and saw that all the great immortals had gathered today, and that the Purple Mansion was celebrating a great victory. He felt a surge of pride in his heart.

"Senior brothers, Senior Sister Nuwa, Junior brothers, fellow Daoists, since we are all gathered here today, why don't we have a small gathering in my Purple Mansion and discuss the Dao?"

"Correct answer!"

"It suits me very well!"

……

P.S.: Brothers, this battle is over. I don't know if you are satisfied, but I can only write this far. This ending was destined long ago and is the ending in the outline. There has been no deviation.

Volume Two: The Age of the Lich King has ended. It's almost the end of the month, so I'm asking for some monthly votes!

Finally, I would like to thank all the readers who have supported me all this time. This is Wangyue's first book, and I have cherished it very much. Please forgive any shortcomings!

That's all for today, see you in the next volume!

The theme of Volume Three:

A great battle ended, its aftershocks subsided, and Donghua began to spread his teachings throughout the primordial world. Meanwhile, the Purple Palace launched its campaign from the East Sea, sweeping across all directions, and all races submitted. Donghua ascended Buzhou Mountain, climbed Lingxiao Palace, and became the Heavenly Emperor, revered by all beings as the Great Heavenly Venerable!
