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

Chapter 184 The True Form of the Heavenly Emperor, Discussing Heavenly Punishment

Jingyang Palace!

After emerging from the River of Time, Donghua continued his secluded cultivation, as the time available to possess the Jade Disc of Creation was not infinite.

Therefore, we must seize the opportunity now to cultivate all three thousand Great Daos successfully. Once Hongjun takes them back, there won't be such a good opportunity again.

This time, Donghua chose to cultivate the Great Dao of Space, which is parallel to time and has many similarities with other paths.

Spacetime, spacetime, these two great paths are closely intertwined, and when they work together, they can unleash boundless power.

The Jade Disc of Creation released boundless light, reflecting the complete Three Thousand Great Daos. Unfortunately, Donghua did not have enough time to cultivate; what is not one's own will never truly be one's own.

If this treasure could remain in my possession, mastering all three thousand Great Daos would be within my reach.

Therefore, Donghua chose the two most difficult paths to cultivate: Time and Space. If he could take advantage of having the Jade Disc of Creation in hand and master these two paths, it would be very worthwhile, since it's a free benefit.

Donghua's mind was immersed in the Jade Disc of Creation, and he began to comprehend the Great Dao of Space.

Inside Jingyang Palace, Daoist energy flowed, and various extraordinary phenomena began to manifest.

Space Storm!

Spatial wind blade!

The myriad realms!

……

Time passed by, and Donghua didn't know how much time had gone by. In his heart, there was only the Great Dao and the space.

The Great Way is diverse; different people will naturally arrive at different conclusions from the same Great Way.

Take the Dao of Space as an example. The Ancestral Witch Emperor Jiang comprehended the power of the Heavens of Space, using the power of space to form the power of the Heavens, and suppressing Wushuang!

Kunpeng also cultivates the way of space, but what he comprehends is spatial wind blades and spatial speed, the ultimate speed.

What Donghua comprehended was also the myriad realms of space.

Space, in this context, is as small as Mount Sumeru or as small as a mustard seed!

Donghua opened his eyes and murmured softly, "A flower, a thought, a world; the entire universe is contained in a single hair."

Both are spatial realms, but what Donghua comprehends is completely different from what Dijiang comprehends; one is vast and boundless, while the other is as small as a mustard seed and as vast as Mount Sumeru.

Donghua thought of the supernatural power of "Size and Size at Will" that he had deduced based on his Pure Yang True Body after coming to this world, but he hadn't used this supernatural power for a long time, and it was difficult for it to bring him any boost in combat power.

However, now that he has cultivated the Great Dao of Space, he feels that he can combine the Great Dao of Space with the Pure Yang True Body and the Size-as-you-please technique to form a new supernatural power or a new method of physical cultivation.

Donghua's physical cultivation technique is the Pure Yang Profound Technique, but this is only a cultivation method for those below the Quasi-Saint level.

Once you reach the Quasi-Saint realm, there is no longer any concept of cultivation techniques. You can only comprehend the power of the Great Dao, form your own Dao, and the power of your physical body becomes the power of the Dao, thus uniting your body with the Dao.

Therefore, Donghua's idea this time is to use the Mustard Seed Sumeru formed by the Great Dao of Space to regulate the power of the physical body, and to use the Great Dao of Space to form the power of the heavens in the physical body, so that any part of the body can carry the power of the heavens in the future.

Thinking of this, Donghua began to act, circulating the Pure Yang Profound Technique to comprehend the Pure Yang Great Dao within it, and then slowly filling it with spatial power.

As the meaning of "space as small as a mustard seed and as vast as Mount Sumeru" deepened, Donghua's physical body began to change, with every inch of his skin radiating the Daoist essence of space.

The power of space and the power of pure yang were mixed together, causing the body to tremble. Each tremor caused the surrounding space to fluctuate.

Time passed by, and no one knew how much time had gone by. With a sudden tremor from Donghua's entire body, the space of Jingyang Palace collapsed, and the hall was transformed into a void.

His eyes opened, as if two golden lights were shining, and it seemed that countless worlds were forming in his eyes.

"I've finally succeeded in my cultivation! My physical strength now truly rivals that of a peak Quasi-Saint; even the true form of a Ancestral Witch is probably no more powerful!"

However, although Donghua's physical strength is stronger than that of the Ancestral Witch's true form, he is inferior to the Ancestral Witch's true form in terms of "true" nature.

After all, the true form of the Ancestral Witch was cultivated by mixing the power of the Great Dao's rules with the turbid energy of the earth, making it a unique existence in the entire prehistoric world. This is something that heaven and earth and the Great Dao have bestowed upon the Witch Clan.

Regardless, Donghua was still very happy. This time, he not only mastered the Great Dao of Space, but also improved his physical strength to a higher level.

This is truly a double celebration!

Donghua carefully sensed the power of the heavens within his body and thought to himself, "Pure Yang Body Refinement, spatial compression, and the accompaniment of the heavens—it's no longer appropriate to call it the Pure Yang True Body. It should be renamed."

"Let's call it the True Form of the Heavenly Emperor!"

"I shall be the Heavenly Emperor, and my physical body shall be the true form of the Heavenly Emperor!"

Donghua laughed heartily. Although he had not yet become the Heavenly Emperor, he was confident that he could accomplish it!

He then withdrew his true power and prepared to continue comprehending the Three Thousand Great Daos. After all, he had already mastered the two most difficult Daos of Time and Space, and the rest were not so difficult.

But at this moment, a powerful aura suddenly rose from within the Purple Palace, overwhelming the entire Three Islands and Ten Continents.

Above the heavens, lightning rolled, and the Great Dao of Yin swept across the Purple Palace. The three thousand Great Daos moved in unison, shocking everyone.

Upon seeing this, Donghua instantly understood that the Queen Mother of the West had successfully completed her cultivation and truly mastered the Heavenly Tribulation Dao.

He then casually calculated that he had already spent eight sessions in seclusion, truly demonstrating that there was no time for cultivation.

However, it is truly incredible that one can cultivate the Great Dao of Time and Space in just eight sessions. Donghua gently stroked the Creation Jade Disc with his hand.

He really wanted to keep this thing forever!

But this is clearly impossible. The Jade Disc of Creation is now related to the operation of the Heavenly Dao in the Primordial World. Hongjun was already cheating by allowing him to cultivate for a period of time. How could he possibly keep it in his hands forever? The Heavenly Dao would not allow it.

Given enough time, perhaps even Hongjun won't need to intervene; the Heavenly Dao will retract itself.

"Out of quarantine!"

The Queen Mother of the West has completed her Heavenly Tribulation and it is time for her to begin carrying out her Heavenly Punishment. Continuing her seclusion would be meaningless.

When Donghua arrived above the Azure Sea, the Queen Mother of the West was already waiting there. She stepped forward and asked, "Brother, you've emerged from seclusion. Are you alright? I sensed the fluctuations of a great battle in the River of Time, but I was unable to emerge from seclusion at a crucial moment in my cultivation."

Donghua smiled slightly, stepped forward and took west Wangmu's hand, saying, "It's alright, it's already been dealt with. I wonder which blind fool dared to try to cross the river of time to kill me. What a pipe dream!"

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother of the West frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Brother, do you have someone in mind? Can you tell from the traces of his actions? Let's eliminate him now to prevent him from becoming a Hunyuan and causing further trouble."

Donghua shook his head. He really couldn't tell who made the move. The palm strike left no trace; it was just the primordial power composed of the Three Thousand Great Daos, making it impossible to discern.

"It's alright. Since he's come across the river of time to kill me, it means he won't be my match in the future. There's nothing to worry about."

Donghua didn't say anything more. He truly didn't care about this matter. In his view, the person who made the move was like a clown jumping around on the beam. Then, he changed the subject and asked:

"Let's not talk about that. Tell me about your situation. Now that you've successfully cultivated the Heavenly Tribulation Great Dao, when do you plan to establish Heavenly Punishment?"

Hearing this, the Queen Mother of the West was also very pleased. With a wave of her right hand, the Heavenly Tribulation Banner appeared in her hand, emanating tribulation power and taking on the form of heavenly lightning.

"Establishing the Heavenly Punishment now is the perfect opportunity, allowing me to achieve my Great Dao and smoothly break through to the late Quasi-Saint stage, perhaps even reaching the peak. The only question is how powerful the calamity that will descend will be!"

Donghua agreed with this statement, believing that the time was ripe to establish the Heavenly Punishment. His only concern was the calamity that would befall heaven and earth when the Heavenly Punishment was established.

Don't assume that establishing divine punishment is beneficial to the Way of Heaven and will not bring calamity. It's not that simple. Calamity will definitely come, it's just a matter of how big or small it is.

After all, you are going to establish heavenly punishment for all living beings. Therefore, the one who establishes heavenly punishment must accept the test of all living beings. Tribulations can be divided into three tribulations: heaven, earth, and man. Only by passing through these three tribulations can the heavenly way be recognized and all living beings be accepted.

Of the three tribulations of Heaven, Earth, and Man, the Heavenly Tribulation is probably the easiest to overcome. At most, it is a question of the heart by Heaven to see if one can be fair and just.

As for the calamity, Donghua couldn't guess, but he estimated it should be either Zhen Yuanzi or the Wu Clan, since only these two groups could represent the Earthly Path.

As for the human tribulation, Donghua is not worried. After all, the Purple Mansion is now the number one overlord in the prehistoric world, even surpassing the Witch and Demon Kings. Therefore, there is no possibility of others interfering.

Therefore, the most terrifying tribulations of heaven and man are actually the easiest to overcome; only the unknown tribulations of earth are of unknown severity.

"Junior sister, don't worry, I'll take care of everything. You just need to establish the Heavenly Punishment as I told you before and pass the test of the Heavenly Dao."

"Leave the rest of the tribulations to me. No matter who comes, I will keep them at bay."

At this point, Donghua paused, then smiled and said, "Don't forget, I'm now known as the number one person below the Hunyuan realm, so I have that much confidence."

The Queen Mother of the West smiled upon hearing this. She was also pleased with the title of Donghua. After all, for powerful beings like them, besides pursuing the Great Dao, the only things they sought were fame and fortune, commonly known as face.

But she also had a worry, after all, since ancient times, who dared to claim that they were invincible in a certain realm?

Therefore, this title is extremely hateful!

"Since you have such confidence, then I'll leave everything to you. You can mobilize everyone in Xikunlun at will."

"These past few days I have been adjusting my state on the Azure Sea, communicating with the Heavenly Dao, and using the Heavenly Tribulation Banner to draw out the Dao of Heavenly Punishment."

"Alright, junior sister, don't worry!"

Donghua readily agreed. The matter itself was not difficult; the main difficulty lay in questioning one's conscience in accordance with the will of Heaven.

He is confident that he can face the remaining tribulations, which stems from his current strength.

He possesses the Five Primordial Banners, the Twelve-Petaled Pure White Lotus, the Dragon-Headed Golden Staff, the Kongtong Seal, the Heavenly Emperor's Dharma Image, the Heavenly Emperor's True Body, and the peak cultivation of a Quasi-Saint who has severed the Three Corpses.

He was confident in facing any enemy, even any one of the Three Pure Ones, provided that the Three Pure Ones were not in harmony.

When they combine, they become an unstoppable force.
