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

Chapter 205 Unfolds the Prelude to Proving the Dao of Hunyuan

At the summit of Mount Buzhou, Donghua felt the power within his body. He was very familiar with this power, as he had experienced it more than once.

This was the power he possessed when he fought Lu Ya in Xikunlun, the feeling of achieving the Great Dao of Bagua and having the Great Dao enter his body, and the power that transcended the Quasi-Saint realm.

If Donghua were to name this realm, he could call it: Second Sage.

This realm is also the realm of Hongjun and Luohou during the ancient war between immortals and demons, and at that time, the realm of the three clan leaders was the peak of Quasi-Saint.

At this moment, a powerful aura emanated from Donghua, spreading outwards from Buzhou Mountain in all directions.

Reaching the ninth heaven,

They descended into the territory.

East, West, South, North

The heavens and the universe!

It seemed that the Dao of the primordial world was stirred up by Donghua and began to manifest in the world.

At this moment, everyone's gaze was fixed on Mount Buzhou, looking towards Donghua.

A question arose in everyone's mind:

Is Donghua about to attain the Primordial Dao?

Kunlun Mountains!

Just as the Three Pure Ones were about to descend the mountain to spread their teachings, they sensed an aura emanating from Donghua Mountain in Buzhou Mountain and immediately became alert.

"Elder brother, is Donghua about to attain enlightenment?"

Taishang nodded, then shook his head, his eyes filled with both envy and determination.

"It can be considered a state of primordial chaos, but it lacks proof of the Dao. What it lacks is only practice. It only needs to verify the Great Dao through action, and its cultivation will naturally be perfected, which can be called proof of the Dao!"

Yuanshi didn't say anything more, but his right hand unconsciously clenched, clearly indicating that he was also extremely unsettled.

Tongtian was alright, but he still couldn't help but have a fighting spirit in his eyes, and there was no way to tell what he was expecting.

"No need to overthink it. Our path is different from his. He's about to attain enlightenment, and we can't fall behind. Let's go down the mountain and pursue our own path!"

As soon as the Supreme Being finished speaking, Yin and Yang energies flickered, and he disappeared from Kunlun Mountain.

Tongtian glanced at Yuanshi and said, "Second brother, I'm going too. See you next time, Hunyuan!"

Yuanshi's expression was resolute, and he smiled gently, saying, "Alright, see you in Hunyuan!"

The two then left Kunlun separately!

This time, the Three Pure Ones descended the mountain to spread their teachings, embarking on their own paths, and thus completely ushering in the primordial era of chaos.

……

Beside an unnamed river in the primordial world, Nuwa walked barefoot on the water, quietly feeling the power of heaven and earth.

On the riverbank, Fuxi, dressed in simple blue robes, was weaving a large net, which he then cast into the river and sea, catching dozens of large fish in one go.

His movements were very practiced, clearly not the first time he had done something like this, and he did not use any magic power at all throughout the process, just like an ordinary person.

At this moment, Donghua's aura emanated from Buzhou, startling Nuwa, who was in the middle of the river and sea. Nuwa opened her bright eyes, and a similar aura emanated from her body.

He then strolled to the shore and sat down next to Fuxi.

Fuxi skillfully grilled the fish, then turned to look at Nuwa and asked softly:

"How are you feeling, little sister? Feeling the pressure?"

Nuwa picked up a grilled fish from the side, parted her red lips slightly, and began to eat the fish by herself.

"I have never felt pressured by my peers; I have reached that level."

"But Donghua's path ahead is very clear: he only needs to sweep away the Wu and Yao clans and ascend to the position of Heavenly Emperor to truly attain the Dao of Hunyuan."

"But I still have no clue about the next step in the Dao. What exactly is the ultimate Dao of Creation?"

"I have created the world and evolved all things. I have done it, but it is still not enough."

"I have managed to create life and death, from death to life, but it still doesn't work."

"I have also created life from nothing, and I have also done it, but it is still not enough."

At this point, Nuwa's eyes held a complex expression, clearly revealing a hint of melancholy.

Her gaze lingered in the distance, where a group of snakes resided—snakes that had never appeared in the primordial world before.

"I created the Tengshe clan, yet I still cannot attain enlightenment. So what is the ultimate goal of the Great Dao of Creation? How can I practice the Great Dao of Creation?"

Fuxi shook his head. He couldn't answer any of these questions, because they were beyond his comprehension.

He was only at the late stage of Quasi-Saint level, so how could he know about the Primordial Chaos?

Fuxi was about to say something when he suddenly remembered Donghua's tone and words in the Purple Palace, as if he knew something.

"Little sister, I don't know about this matter, but I feel that Donghua should know something. Why don't we ask him?"

Nuwa frowned. She was very reluctant to seek out Donghua, because this concerned her own path, and she could not easily ask someone else for help.

……

On the Western Paradise, Amitabha Buddha and Cundi Bodhisattva sat on lotus thrones, with guests from the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss seated below.

When Donghua's aura emanated from Buzhou Mountain, Jieyin's expression remained relatively calm, but Zhunti's face instantly changed drastically.

He had seen this aura several times before: Pangu's true form, Pangu's primordial spirit, the Zhou Tian star system, the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, and so on.

But those were all external forces, while the power that Donghua is showing now is his own, his true cultivation.

However, Zhunti is only at the late stage of Quasi-Saint, and has only just begun to explore the path to the peak of Quasi-Saint, while others are about to attain the Primordial Chaos Realm.

How could he possibly bear this?

For a moment, my thoughts were in complete disarray!

At this moment, Jieyin also noticed Zhunti's state and uttered a Sanskrit chant: "Om Mani Padme Hum".

Its sound was like the sound of the Great Dao, like thunder in the ears, instantly calming Zhunti's mind.

"Excellent, excellent, junior brother, you are attached to appearances. Whether Donghua attains enlightenment or not has nothing to do with us. We only need to calm our minds and cultivate the Tao, and walk our own path."

As the words of the guide fell, three thousand worlds appeared behind him, and three thousand avatars emerged one by one, merging with the guide's main body.

At this moment, the aura of the guide began to surge, instantly reaching the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm, its Daoist charm flowing throughout the Blissful World and illuminating Mount Ling.

"Om Mani Padme Hum!"

Zhunti kept murmuring this sentence, as if it contained some kind of magic.

"Senior brother, you truly possess great wisdom. Junior brother admires you. These six words encapsulate the truth of our Western teachings and the great law of our eight hundred unorthodox schools."

After Zhunti finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Jieyin, his face full of admiration.

He accepted it calmly, and then slowly said, "This six-syllable mantra, which I call the Great Illumination Mantra, elucidates the essence of the eight hundred heterodox schools of the West, containing eighty-four thousand Dharma gates."

"I hope that you can gain some insight into this, Junior Brother. Your current state of mind is in serious trouble. You are too influenced by the Demon Ancestor. If this continues, you will sink into the demonic path and have no hope of attaining enlightenment."

Upon hearing this, Zhunti's eyes widened, and he looked at Jieyin in disbelief.

"Senior brother, what do you mean by that?"

Jieyin sighed and said, "When my junior brother lured Rahu out and caused him to return from the Great Dao, he was burdened by all the karma from the West, the demonic path, and Rahu himself."

"Your cultivation level is still too low to handle and refine this karma, which is why your mental state has become seriously problematic."

"If this continues for too long, your mindset will completely turn towards the demonic path, thus severing your path to enlightenment, unless you can achieve something in the demonic path."

Zhunti's face darkened, and he closed his eyes slightly, as if he were thinking about something.

After an unknown amount of time, or perhaps in the blink of an eye, Zhunti opened his eyes, and two beams of light pierced through the Pure Land. Then, with a wave of his hand, the world returned to normal.

"Senior brother's words are both right and wrong. What is a demon? What is an immortal? What is a god?"

"In my view, demons are the Tao, immortals are the Tao, gods are the Tao, everything is the Tao."

"As for me, Zhunti, I do not cultivate demonic arts, nor immortality, nor divinity; I only cultivate the Dao, which is cause and effect, and cause and effect is the Dao."

"And I cultivate immortality, demonic power, and divine power; I cultivate all the laws and paths of the world, all of which are cause and effect, all of which are illusions!"

As Zhunti finished speaking, the River of Cause and Effect appeared, encircling Mount Ling.

The long river began to evolve into the heavens. One cause is the beginning of the world, and one effect is the end of the world. Cause and effect are intertwined, and the world rises and falls, experiencing countless cycles of reincarnation.

"I am who I am, I am Zhunti. Whether I am an immortal or a demon, when I attain enlightenment, I will open a new path and become the mother of all paths!"

Upon hearing this, the shocked crowd instantly transformed into enthusiastic followers, but after the initial shock came great joy, prompting them to clap their hands in praise:

"Junior brother has already attained enlightenment; he can now prove his path before his elder brother!"

Zhunti smiled and said, "The difference between immortals and demons is just a thought away. Junior brother, you only understand this principle now, which means you are already far behind. Besides, there is no question of mutual respect between us fellow disciples."

"Senior brother, I wish to establish a new path beyond gods, immortals, and demons, and to develop my Western Great Law. I humbly request your assistance!"

"Junior brother, this is my duty; how could I dare disobey!"

The chanting of Buddhist hymns pierced through the Pure Land, illuminating Mount Sumeru, and boundless light shone upon the Western Continent.

……

At the summit of Buzhou Mountain!

Donghua's Great Dao illuminates the primordial world and the entire universe; he makes no attempt to conceal it, wanting the world to know.

While everyone in the prehistoric world focused their attention on Mount Buzhou, Donghua began to preach. This time, he was preaching the Great Dao.

"The Way has no name, yet it is always clear. It is great, yet it can be said to be fleeting; it can be far-reaching, yet it is said to be far-reaching; it can be great, yet it is said to be great. Therefore it is said: Heaven is great, Earth is great, and the Way is also great..."

"The Dao, as a thing, is elusive and indistinct. Its position is elusive and indistinct, yet within it are images; elusive and indistinct, yet within it are things; profound and mysterious, yet within it is essence. The essence of position is very real, within it is trustworthiness. Position has existed from ancient times to the present, its name has not faded..."

"The Great Dao is formless, yet it gives birth to Heaven and Earth; the Great Dao is without emotion, yet it governs the sun and moon; the Great Dao is nameless, yet it nurtures all things. I do not know its name, so I call it the Dao. The Dao has both purity and turbidity, movement and stillness; Heaven is pure, Earth is turbid; Heaven moves, Earth is still; it descends from the root to the branches, thus giving birth to all things. Purity is the source of turbidity. Movement is the foundation of stillness..."

The sound of the Tao flows between heaven and earth, and all those who are destined to hear it can hear its sound.

He began by explaining what the Dao is, starting from its origin. Every word was precious, every sentence profound, explaining where the Dao comes from and where it is going.

Then, the three thousand great Daos are described in turn, including time, space, creation, yin and yang, cause and effect, pure yang, the eight trigrams, and the five elements. The three thousand great Daos originate from one and evolve infinitely.

This sermon by Donghua was also a process of his own evolution in the Dao.

Perhaps from this moment on, the primordial world will enter a new era. This era is the era of Hunyuan, the era of sages, and the era of Hongjun's disciples!

It is also the era of the Purple Mansion!

……

P.S.: I've seen many people asking why I haven't become a saint yet, so I'll explain here.

This book states from the very beginning that Hunyuan is Hunyuan, not a sage. One must first attain the Dao of Hunyuan before becoming a sage. A sage is not a state of being, but a position of authority!

Secondly, attaining the Dao of Hunyuan is not easy; it is a very rigorous process. Not only must one's cultivation level meet the standards, but one must also practice one's own Dao.

Only in this way can one attain the Primordial Chaos. I wonder what everyone thinks? Let's discuss it.

Last book monthly pass!
