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

Chapter 194 With this sword, I will cleave open the Gate of Primordial Chaos.

Donghua stayed in Kunlun Mountain for five hundred years. During these five hundred years, he did not cultivate and was in a relaxed state.

Every day he would play the zither and flute, drink wine and tea, discuss metaphysics and Taoism, and incidentally give pointers to the disciples of the Three Pure Ones. Whether they were personal disciples, nominal disciples, or ordinary beings from Kunlun Mountain, he accepted them all.

He would carefully answer anyone who sought his advice, always offering insightful and comprehensive guidance, pointing out the most suitable path and the most appropriate supernatural abilities for them.

Therefore, Donghua was widely welcomed by the beings of Kunlun and had great popularity. In particular, Tongtian's disciples all submitted to him and said that they would come to join Zifu after completing their studies.

Donghua just smiled and didn't say anything more. As for what he was thinking, no one knew.

On this day, Donghua stood on Qilin Cliff, looking down at the majestic Kunlun Mountains and the vast mountain range.

The Fairy Waterfall cascades down, amidst the mountains, where celestial birds dance and exotic beasts roam. Fairy flowers, spiritual roots, and immortal herbs abound, filling the air with spiritual energy and ethereal beauty.

"Truly unparalleled in the world!"

Five hundred years is just a blink of an eye for a cultivator, but for him, those five hundred years were quite long.

"Are you leaving?"

Tongtian arrived at Qilin Cliff at some point and stood beside Donghua.

"All good things must come to an end; it's time for me to leave!"

Tongtian hummed in agreement and remained silent for a long time.

"In this great calamity, I wish to unleash a single sword strike!"

"With this sword, I will cleave open the Gate of Primordial Chaos!"

"With this sword, I will cleave the heavens and prove my Dao!"

"Alright, I'm really looking forward to this strike!"

Neither of them spoke again, nor did they offer any words of help, because they had already made their point very clear.

"Farewell, Senior Brother Tongtian!"

"Farewell, Junior Brother Donghua!"

As Donghua descended Qilin Cliff and exited Kunlun Mountain Gate, just as he was about to leave, he discovered a person waiting ahead.

It was Jin Ling, a disciple of Tongtian!

Donghua asked in confusion, "Jinling, why are you here?"

Jin Ling smiled gently and said, "Because I knew that my martial uncle would be leaving Kunlun in the next few days, I have been waiting here."

Upon hearing this answer, Donghua was momentarily stunned.

After realizing what was happening, he chuckled and said, "You're kind, but there's no need for that. We'll meet again someday. You should also focus on your cultivation. We're currently in the midst of a great calamity, so don't leave Kunlun unless absolutely necessary."

After Donghua finished speaking, Jinling did not reply, but just stared blankly at Donghua.

The two looked at each other on the road in front of the Kunlun Mountains, the long and winding Kunlun Mountains bearing witness to this moment.

"I really like the spiritual treasure that my martial uncle gave me. I have nothing to repay him with, except for a cloak that I made myself."

Jin Ling took out a white cloak and draped it over Donghua's back. The black clothes paired with the white cloak looked somewhat mismatched.

Jin Ling looked at Dong Hua and chuckled softly. Her laughter was like the chirping of a lark, with a distinctive nasal tone, making her voice very recognizable.

"It's a pity that Kunlun only has white cranes, not black ones, otherwise they would match your clothes perfectly."

Donghua Gujing's heart, which was as still as a well, seemed to have a drop of water falling on the sea. Then, he activated the spiritual robe on his body, and instantly transformed into a white robe.

A white coat paired with a cape has a unique charm!

"Uncle-Master looks best in white!"

Seeing Donghua's current appearance, Jin Ling seemed very happy. After saying something softly, she flew away.

Donghua stood there for a while, touched the cloak on his body, chuckled inexplicably, and then left Kunlun!

Just after Donghua left, a figure reappeared on the main road, gazing at the vanished Donghua without moving for a long time.

As Donghua emerged from Kunlun, the aura behind him coalesced into a soaring dragon that stretched across the sky, awe-inspiring the primordial world, before vanishing without a trace.

……

"Once he completes this journey, his power will be firmly established, and no one will be able to withstand his might!"

On Mount Kunlun, Yuanshi gazed at Donghua as he walked away, his heart unable to find peace for a long time. Donghua's sword strike had shattered his pride completely.

He didn't use his full strength at the time, but Donghua certainly didn't either.

The Supreme Being flicked his whisk, stroked his beard, and said, "We can fight. He will not lose, and I will not win!"

Yuanshi and Tongtian looked at Taishang in shock. Neither of them had any confidence in facing Donghua, but after hearing their elder brother's words, they were full of confidence.

"Eldest brother, third brother, I want to leave Kunlun again, travel the world, and reflect on my own path."

"When we meet again, we'll meet at the peak!"

……

After Donghua left Kunlun, he headed west, following the route that led westward at that time.

At Wanshou Mountain, when Donghua arrived at the junction of the east and west, Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun were already waiting there.

"I've long heard that Brother Donghua has traveled throughout the primordial world, accumulating great power. Seeing him today, I can see it's true; his reputation is well-deserved!"

Zhen Yuanzi stepped forward with a smile and bowed to Donghua.

Donghua laughed heartily and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi, Fellow Daoist Hongyun, it's been a while since we parted ways at the Purple Mansion! How have you been?"

"Unlike the elegant and domineering style of the Eastern Emperor, whose Taiwei Chronicle recounts all his romantic escapades and whose declaration exudes domineering power! We admire him, we admire him."

Donghua gave Zhen Yuanzi a disapproving look, then turned to Hongyun and said, "Fellow Daoist Hongyun's cultivation has improved again; truly a cause for celebration!"

Hongyun laughed freely and said, "Now that we're out of the cage, we can naturally forge ahead on the main road."

Donghua didn't say much about this, he just smiled lightly.

The three then entered Wuzhuang Temple and began to discuss and exchange ideas. Donghua also began to reflect on what he had gained when he first came to Wuzhuang Temple.

Here, I came into contact with the Primordial Purple Qi for the first time and comprehended the power of the Heavenly Dao and the rules of heaven and earth.

Donghua began his spiritual practice at the Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain.

……

While Donghua was cultivating on Longevity Mountain, in the Heavenly Court, battle flags fluttered, the light of demons and immortals shook the heavens, and billions of demons gathered in the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Within the star field, countless stars emitted endless starlight, enveloping the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Donghuang Taiyi was dressed in a red imperial robe, on which a three-legged golden crow was depicted in a soaring posture, spreading its wings and flying high, as if it had come to life.

Behind him stood ten demon saints, including Bai Ze, and nine golden crow princes formed an array, drawing upon the light of the sun and stars to illuminate the primordial world.

The only pity is that Taiyin no longer exists, and it is dim and without light, as if she has disappeared from people's sight. Only the faint starlight shines on the earth, as if waiting for a new master.

"Your Majesty, all preparations for the sacrificial ceremony have been completed. Please give your instructions."

Donghuang Taiyi looked at Bai Ze in front of him and felt quite gratified. This person was truly a genius who managed the entire Heavenly Court in an orderly manner and showed no signs of dejection after the defeat.

"Very well, thank you for your hard work, Prime Minister Bai Ze!"

After Donghuang Taiyi finished speaking, he summoned the Chaos Bell. With a soft sound, the entire Thirty-Three Heavens of the Heavenly Realm fell silent in an instant.

"when!"

"when!"

"when!"

Taiyi shook the Chaos Bell three times in succession, and the sound of the bell resounded throughout the primordial world, flowing through time and space.

"Heaven above, the Lord of the Sun and Stars, the Eastern Emperor of the Demon Clan, the Lord of the Heavenly Court, and the Primordial Saint Taiyi are here to offer sacrifices to Heaven and Earth."

"Today, Taiyi ascends the throne in the Heavenly Realm and is called the Heavenly Emperor. He is willing to act on behalf of Heaven to protect the primordial world and maintain the order of Heaven and Earth."

"We humbly request Heaven's permission!"

The sound resounded throughout the primordial world and the entire universe. At this moment, the eyes of all the great powers in the primordial world were fixed on the Heavenly Realm, looking on with amusement.

Some people even started speculating and betting on whether the Witch Clan or the Purple Mansion would make the first move!

Donghua, who was in the middle of cultivating his aura in Longevity Mountain, heard the voice but did not make any move.

Hongyun, standing to the side, asked in confusion, "Fellow Daoist Donghua, Taiyi is now about to ascend the throne and become the Heavenly Emperor. Aren't you going to stop him?"

Donghua chuckled and said, "Didn't Fellow Daoist Hongyun already say that he is called the Heavenly Emperor? It's just a title he gave himself, so what's the big deal?"

"He's just a clown, not worth mentioning!"

The two then realized that they had indeed overthought things; it was just a pseudonym and nothing serious.

Besides, even if Taiyi doesn't announce it to the Heavenly Dao, isn't he still the ruler of the demon race?

Zhen Yuanzi stroked his beard gently. Looking towards the Heavenly Court, he asked, "Do you think Taiyi can gain the approval of the Heavenly Dao?"

Hongyun laughed and said, "If he could gain the approval of the Heavenly Dao, unless the Heavenly Dao is blind, wouldn't it be a huge joke for a puppet who was once possessed by a demon to become the Heavenly Emperor of the Primordial World?"

"Hahaha……"

"At least the former Emperor Jun had some merit bestowed by heaven, but he probably has none at all!"

Upon hearing this, Donghua could no longer suppress his laughter and burst out laughing as well.

……

High above, as Donghuang Taiyi's voice faded, the Eye of Heaven appeared and began to survey the entire Heavenly Court and Taiyi.

The light of the Heavenly Dao has been flowing through the celestial realm.

Donghua can remain calm, but some people can't.

In the mountains of Buzhou, Dijiang smashed the cloud bed in front of him and shouted angrily, "Taiyi, you brat, dare to call yourself emperor?"

The other Ancestral Witches were also filled with righteous indignation, looking as if they wanted to denounce the Heavenly Court and Taiyi.

"Brother, make your move!"

"Yes, elder brother, let's make a move! How can we let that bastard Taiyi become the Heavenly Emperor? What would that leave us for!"

"Elder brother, let us storm the heavens, destroy Taiyi, slaughter the demon race, and then you will become the Heavenly Emperor."

"Yes, elder brother is the Heavenly Emperor..."

Amidst the shouts, Dijiang gradually lost himself. He was just angry and had no intention of attacking the Heavenly Court.

After all, he knew that Taiyi would have a hard time succeeding, and that a battle in the heavens would be very disadvantageous for the Wu Clan.

But with the cry of "Elder brother, be the Heavenly Emperor," he lost his way.

At this moment, he was going to go to the sky and kill his way back!

At this moment, Dijiang's calamity surged into his brain!

"Alright, brothers, let's storm the heavens and destroy Taiyi! He thinks he can become the Heavenly Emperor? He's delusional!"

Houtu and Xuanming were about to say something, but Dijiang had already made his decision, so the two of them had no choice but to give up.

Furthermore, Houtu also wanted to assess the current methods of the demon race's Heavenly Court, or rather, the strength of Taiyi.

Houtu's cultivation level was already at the late Quasi-Saint stage, just a little short of the peak. So she wanted to test Taiyi's level and see if she could break through to the peak through this battle.

……

P.S.: Hehe, monthly pass!
