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

Chapter 180 The Legend of the Eastern God

East Sea Purple Mansion!

With Hongjun's restoration of the Three Islands and Ten Continents, in just a few thousand years, the afterglow of war has completely disappeared here, with only a few isolated places remaining as evidence of the great battles that once took place.

After the war, three new sights appeared in the Purple Mansion. One of them was an island where Donghua used the power of the Heavenly Dao to suppress the God-Slaying Spear.

The story begins with the demonic blood of Emperor Jun's fall and Rahu's injury, which combined with the blood of a fallen demon to create a forbidden land on an island. There, the Daoist energy flows and the demonic energy is overwhelming. In just a few thousand years, tens of thousands of demons have been born, the most powerful of which have already reached the strength of a Great Luo Immortal.

This demonstrates the immense power of Hunyuan!

The third scene is truly a scenic view, an island formed by the energy of creation combined with the divine lightning of the Purple Heaven when Nuwa achieved the Great Dao of Creation and resurrected all people.

The place is filled with the aura of creation, the rhythm of the Dao, and the rolling divine thunder, making it a sacred place for cultivation. Those who cultivate the Dao of Creation and the Dao of Thunder in the Purple Mansion often go there to cultivate, and the island has been assigned to the Thunder Department of Donghua.

The sun rises high above the Purple Palace Peak!

Donghua, Nuwa, the Three Pure Ones, Houtu, Jieyin, Zhunti, Zhenyuanzi, Hongyun, Fuxi, Styx, Xiwangmu, Longbo, Zhulong and others sat on the suspended peak.

Everyone here has a cultivation level of at least mid-stage Quasi-Saint, while the highest cultivation levels are Donghua and Nuwa, who are at the peak of Quasi-Saint. Even the Three Pure Ones are at the late-stage Quasi-Saint level.

At this moment, the Queen Mother of the West, Tai Zhen, was preaching the Dao. Infinite power of the Great Dao surged forth, condensing into the power of the Great Dao's origin.

Behind him, the Kunlun Mirror illuminated the heavens, and above his head, three flowers manifested, with spiritual treasures such as the Taiyin Sword and the Heavenly Tribulation Banner among them, and countless extraordinary phenomena of the Great Dao appeared.

A heavenly tribulation is rolling in, forming an eye of lightning punishment!

Sometimes, time travel creates a cycle of worlds!

The moon shines brightly, creating a world of blue lotuses!

……

When the Queen Mother of the West was preaching, Donghua did not listen, because the two were too familiar with each other, so familiar that they were like water and milk.

Therefore, he turned his gaze to the people present. With the complete severing of his three corpses and the attainment of the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm, the people present had few secrets under his gaze.

Although Zhen Yuanzi, Hongyun, Minghe, and others had their amazing qualities, they were not enough to move him.

The two, Jieyin and Zhunti, are indeed quite remarkable. During this sermon, they gained a deep understanding of the eight hundred unorthodox teachings, suggesting that the Western Buddhist and Taoist traditions will soon appear in the world.

Among the Three Pure Ones, Tongtian has already comprehended the Dao of Intercepting Heaven, and Yuanshi has also comprehended the Dao of Explaining Heaven. As for Taishang, Donghua can only see his cultivation level, but his Dao is still quite mysterious.

Moreover, the Supreme One has already severed all three corpses, but his cultivation level is still in the late stage of Quasi-Saint, though it should be soon.

But this alone was enough to shock him; being able to completely sever the three corpses was far more difficult than breaking through to the peak of Quasi-Saint.

After all, severing the three corpses doesn't guarantee you'll achieve the Primordial Dao, but it gives you a 70-80% chance.

For a Quasi-Saint at the peak to prove the Primordial Chaos, the gap is not small at all. They might only ever reach the Quasi-Saint peak in their entire lives, as exemplified by the deceased Lu Ya.

Donghua turned his gaze to Nuwa again, but it seemed as if a mist was obscuring her, making it impossible for him to see through her.

Both of them are at the peak of Quasi-Saint level, shouldn't this be happening?

After his initial confusion, Donghua used the power of the Emperor's Way to close his Dharma Eye. This time, he finally saw through Nuwa's cultivation level and secrets. However, this action also alarmed Nuwa herself.

Seeing this, Nuwa smiled gently at Donghua, said nothing, and continued to listen to the Queen Mother of the West preach with her eyes closed.

At this moment, Donghua's heart was filled with turmoil, because Nuwa's secret was somewhat terrifying.

The Great Dream of Guidance encompasses three thousand worlds, allowing one to cultivate three thousand realms and manifest three thousand forms. However, these three thousand realms are illusory. Only when the Great Dream of Guidance achieves the Primordial Chaos stage can these three thousand realms become real worlds.

But Nuwa, this woman, actually had three thousand worlds inside her body, and they were real three thousand worlds.

It should be noted that Donghua only possessed 108 heavens of purple and blue, totaling 2,000 worlds. This demonstrates the terrifying true combat power of Nuwa, no wonder she was able to fight Taiyi alone before.

But considering that this woman was the first person to attain sainthood, Donghua was no longer surprised. However, Nuwa should be creating humans soon, right?

When Nuwa creates a perfect, post-natal race, the Great Dao of Creation will surely reach its pinnacle, enough to prove the Dao of Hunyuan.

Furthermore, since the creation of humankind was successful, Heaven would be moved and would surely bestow immeasurable merit. Nuwa could first attain the Primordial Chaos Realm and then become a sage within a single day.

However, the creation of humans is something worth planning; we should be able to extract some of Nuwa's merits.

As for whether Nuwa can become a saint after the merits are extracted, what does that have to do with Donghua? He would rather Nuwa not achieve sainthood.

Just as Donghua was deep in thought, the Queen Mother of the West finally finished her sermon.

"...Thus, the Tao gave birth to One, One gave birth to Two, Two gave birth to Three, Three gave birth to all things, and all things are subject to Heaven's punishment!"

After the Queen Mother of the West finished her sermon, Nuwa spoke up, saying, "Sister Taizhen's Heavenly Punishment Dao—no, it should now be called the Heavenly Retribution Dao—is truly awe-inspiring. If this Dao is perfected, the good will be immeasurable!"

The Primordial Celestial Venerable also exclaimed, "Junior Sister's words are reasonable. If the Great Dao of Heavenly Punishment of the Queen Mother of the West is successfully achieved, it will benefit the development of the primordial world, and its merit will be immeasurable, a truly great deed!"

The others nodded in agreement!

After the Queen Mother of the West expressed her humility, the room quieted down. This debate, which began with Donghua and ended with the Queen Mother of the West, came to a satisfactory conclusion.

The Supreme Master flicked his whisk and said with a light laugh, "Junior Brother Donghua, we have been away from Kunlun Mountain for thousands of years. Today is the time for us to leave. If you have time in the future, please come to Kunlun Mountain for a chat. We will welcome you with open arms!"

Donghua glanced at the Three Pure Ones, knowing their minds were made up, and said no more to try to persuade them to stay.

"May you three senior brothers enjoy good fortune in Kunlun. We will definitely visit you at Donghua University when we have time!"

The Three Pure Ones bowed and then left the Purple Palace!

As the Three Pure Ones departed, the Styx Ancestor also left the Purple Mansion. Jieyin and Zhunti rose and said, "Senior Brother Donghua, we must also take our leave. Please do not forget our vows!"

Donghua chuckled softly and said, "I won't forget!"

Houtu also departed, saying before leaving, "Fellow Daoist Donghua, if you have time in the future, you are welcome to visit the Netherworld of Mount Tai. I wish to know the answer to that question!"

Nuwa rose to leave, but before departing, she asked, "Junior Brother Donghua, do you resent me?"

Donghua smiled and said, "There aren't any more. However, if Senior Sister Nuwa ever has such plans in the future, you can tell me, and I won't say anything!"

"Alright, I've got it!"

After Nuwa finished speaking, she turned to Fuxi and said, "Brother, I wish to travel throughout the primordial world to verify the Great Dao within my heart. Do you have any plans?"

Fuxi thought for a moment and said, "I will not accompany you. With your current cultivation level, you are unlikely to be an opponent in the prehistoric world, and there will be no danger for you. I must pursue my own path."

Nuwa nodded slightly, then got up and left the Purple Mansion!

……

Jingyang Palace!

Donghua convened the Zifu Conference again. The last time such a large-scale conference was held was because of the matter of money and fortune.

"Emperor Qinghua, what were the losses suffered by the Purple Mansion in this battle? Can the rewards be distributed?"

The Grand Master of Fate, Emperor Qinghua, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this time the Purple Palace suffered a total loss of 75,362 beings below the Great Luo level; 45 Great Luo Golden Immortals, including 21 Immortal Lords; and 4 Quasi-Saints, including 3 Great Immortal Lords and 1 Emperor! Rewards for all those who contributed have been distributed!"

Upon hearing this, Donghua nodded. At this moment, he was very grateful to Nuwa. If Nuwa had not resurrected everyone, the number of people below the Zifu Daluo level would have been close to one million.

"For those resurrected by Nuwa, we can lower the requirements for them. Regardless of their current cultivation level, all their original benefits will be retained. Those who have made contributions in this battle can be given peaches in batches to improve their aptitude!"

"For those who died in battle, the rewards will still be issued and can be given to their successors, relatives and friends. I will also erect a monument on the blue sea to record their names, and these people will be able to enjoy the Purple Mansion sacrifices in the future."

The crowd exclaimed in unison, "Your Majesty is merciful! We are deeply grateful!"

This is genuine gratitude. After all, one is worshipped by the Purple Mansion after death. Even if one is truly dead, one might be able to return one day, but the prerequisite is that one must have the cultivation of a true immortal!

Donghua spoke again: "Gentlemen, do not be saddened by the death of our fellow Daoists, nor be complacent with your achievements. The path to the Purple Mansion is still long. Let us all strive together!"

"We will obey Your Majesty's decree!"

Donghua looked at Longbo and Zhulong and said, "In this battle, Zhulong of the Dragon Clan and Longbo of the Giant Clan have made great contributions and can be promoted to the position of Emperor."

"He bestows upon Zhulong the title of Emperor Zhuzhao!"

"The title of Emperor Longbo is hereby conferred upon him the title of Heavenly Giant Emperor!"

Zhulong and Longbo quickly stepped forward to express their gratitude, their faces beaming with joy. After all, the Purple Mansion of today was no longer the Purple Mansion of the past; it now truly possessed the power to rule the world.

If the Purple Mansion can dominate the world, then their status will naturally rise accordingly, and the fortune they gain will be limitless.

Longbo is now at the late Quasi-Saint stage, and it is estimated that he will have difficulty breaking through to the next level. Zhulong is also estimated to have broken through to the late Quasi-Saint stage, and it is impossible for him to reach the peak unless he has a great opportunity.

Since there is no hope of attaining enlightenment now, their only concern is their clansmen, and both of them happen to be such people. The identity of the Purple Mansion Emperor can bring endless benefits to their clansmen, which is why they feel happy.

Donghua asked again, "Randeng, how is Wanbaoge doing now?"

Ran Deng stepped forward and said with delight, "Your Majesty, the Wanbao Pavilion is now thriving. All five branch pavilions in the five directions of the Primordial World have made progress. The five types of Zifu coins are now widely circulated throughout the world and are loved by all races. Neither the Wu Clan nor the Yao Clan can refuse Zifu coins, nor can they stop their circulation."

Donghua was overjoyed to hear this. The Wanbao Pavilion was a crucial element in the Purple Mansion's rule over the world and a means to subdue all races. No accidents could be tolerated.

"Well done, Immortal Lord Burning Lamp! Here are three 9,000-year-old peaches as a reward!"

After Donghua finished speaking, he looked at everyone and smiled slightly, saying, "Gentlemen, it's time for Wanbaoge to expand significantly. I want to see Wanbaoge in every race and tribe in the prehistoric world."

"However, there is one crucial point: the Myriad Treasures Pavilion must remain neutral at all times and never participate in any battle, including the Purple Mansion!"

"If the Purple Mansion ever needs the Myriad Treasures Pavilion to participate in the battle, then there's no need for it to exist!"

Donghua understands this is very important; otherwise, whether it is the lich or the myriad races, they will all do their utmost to reject the development of Wanbaoge.

If this happens, it will turn the Purple Mansion into the opposite side of everyone, turning what was originally a good thing into a bad thing.

"We will heed Your Majesty's decree!"

Emperor Taiyuan stepped forward and said loudly, "Your Majesty, you have now broken through to the peak of Quasi-Saint and have been accepted as a disciple by the Dao Ancestor. You have the potential to become a Primordial Saint and a Saint. You can be called the number one person below the Primordial Saint level."

"Moreover, Your Majesty also destroyed the demon Emperor Jun and saved all the immortals from dire straits. It can be said that all the immortals owe Your Majesty a great debt of karma."

"I, along with my subordinates, have compiled 108 accounts of Your Majesty's deeds, intending to spread them widely throughout the land so that all living beings may benefit from Your Majesty's divine grace. I humbly request Your Majesty's permission."

After Emperor Taiyuan finished speaking, he presented a golden book with both hands!

After hearing this, everyone looked at Emperor Taiyuan, finding it hard to believe that flattery could be done in such a way.

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!

Ran Deng looked at Emperor Taiyuan with resentment. He never expected that this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes would actually come up with such a big move. He had been busy with the Wanbaoge matter during this period and had really been careless. He had been careless.

"No, I must do something for His Majesty as well. I can't let this guy enjoy His Majesty's favor all to himself."

Donghua casually picked up the golden scroll and began to read it.

But the more he looked, the more horrified he became, and the more unbelievable it became, because he himself didn't know he had done these things.

While I did indeed do some of those things, this is far too exaggerated.

Take the matter of the Iron-Eating Beast Clan for example. He clearly did nothing; he only took Yuan Zhen as his disciple and taught him some Dao.

However, it says that the Iron-Eating Beast Clan suffered from oppression and suppression by the Witch Clan and was forced to fight a decisive battle against the Demon Clan, and the clan leader Yuan Xiong died in battle.

Just as the Iron-Eating Beast clan was on the verge of extinction, the Purple Mansion Taiwei Pure Yang Emperor Wushi Tianzun Donghua intervened to save them, injuring the Demon Saint Citie with a single sword strike, driving back the demons, subduing the witch clan, and freeing the Iron-Eating Beast clan.

When the clan chief Yuan Xiong was in dire straits, he entrusted his only son Yuan Zhen to the Eastern God of Heaven. The Eastern God of Heaven, being a man of great righteousness, took him in as a disciple and taught him the great Dao of immortality, thus saving the Iron-Eating Beast clan from dire straits.

That's roughly the gist of it. After reading it, Donghua sighed and said, "Emperor Taiyuan, isn't this a bit of an exaggeration? Could you be a little more tactful?"

Donghua felt a little embarrassed after reading it. If many powerful figures saw it, they would laugh at him to death.

Just as Emperor Taiyuan was about to say something, the Queen Mother of the West suddenly took the golden scroll from Donghua's hand and began to read it.

After reading it, she smiled and said, "This is feasible and requires no modification. Moreover, Emperor Taiyuan has rendered great service, so I will personally reward him with a Primordial Spiritual Treasure!"

Emperor Taiyuan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I am very grateful for your reward. I am willing to serve you with my life, even unto death!"

"Good, good, good, I am very pleased!"

After the Queen Mother of the West's actions, the matter was completely settled, but Donghua still felt embarrassed because the boasting was a bit too much.

However, since the Queen Mother of the West rarely made such a decision, Donghua couldn't object and had no choice but to comply.

……

P.S.: This is the beginning of a new volume. I'm asking for some monthly votes from everyone. Thank you to the brothers who gave me a reward yesterday!

The theme of Volume Three: Ascending Buzhou Mountain and Stepping onto Lingxiao

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!
