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

Chapter 240 The matter is over! Donghua's strength is beyond doubt (Please continue reading)

In the human tribe, Chang'e took one last reluctant look at her home, then looked down at the earth where Hou Yi was directing the army.

Memories from both lifetimes kept surfacing, especially those from her previous life as Changxi.

The River of Time and Space appeared, and Chang'e stepped into it, standing on the River of Time and Space. The Great Dao of Taiyin transformed into a vast Dharma image, forming a full moon behind her, with the Daoist rhyme flowing endlessly.

Suddenly, countless figures rushed in from all directions of the river of time and space, and each figure was a trace of Chang'e's past timeline, as well as the figure of Chang Xi.

These figures exist in various timelines of the primordial world, forming a perfect closure of the past, present, and future. They can contain all beings with a single thought, or disperse into the long river of time with another.

This is a Great Golden Immortal, immeasurable indeed!

Chang'e had only reached the Great Luo level in her previous life in the Purple Mansion, but she was still far behind in other aspects such as the Great Dao. Later, she awakened her past life memories in the Kunlun Mirror. Now, after experiencing the long river of time and space absorbing all her bodies, she has finally reached the Great Luo Perfection realm.

This also signifies that she has accepted everything from her past life, and the Moon Goddess has officially returned to her position.

At this moment, in the starry sky, the Moon Star radiated boundless power, causing the stars to shift and their brilliance to illuminate the heavens and the earth. The vast Moon Starlight instantly covered the light of all the stars.

A figure leaped up from the ground; it was Chang'e.

Just as Chang'e took flight, a full moon suddenly descended from the starry sky. With a casual gesture, Chang'e gently landed on the scimitar, as if standing on the moon!

Her white dress shimmered under the starlight, her bright eyes and white teeth, her fair skin and delicate bones, coupled with her unparalleled beauty, made her truly stunning!

Chang'e rose from the moon and gradually merged with the Taiyin star, which was her acceptance of the karmic order of heaven and earth.

Hou Yi, who was commanding his army on the ground, felt a jolt of fear upon seeing this scene.

"Chang'e? Chang'e?"

He felt that the figure was his wife Chang'e, but he couldn't make a judgment for the time being, so he immediately rushed home.

But the house was empty, with only that letter lying forlornly on the table.

"Yi, this letter is as if I were seeing you in person... Don't come looking for me, our fate is over!"

After Hou Yi finished reading, he realized that the one ascending in the sky was none other than his wife, Chang'e.

"So Chang'e was actually Chang Xi! What a cruel twist of fate!"

In his previous life, Changxi died at his hands, but in this life, the two of them have become husband and wife.

Looking at the letter in his hand, Hou Yi knew that their fate had already ended when Chang'e awakened her memories of her past life.

But he was not willing to give up. He wanted to ask clearly in person. Even if it meant severing ties, he wanted to make it clear in person. He couldn't let it end like this.

Chang'e, who was ascending to receive her destiny from heaven and earth, attracted the attention of both sides in the war.

Taiyi exclaimed in surprise, "Changxi, is that you?"

Taiyi was very happy at this moment. Gone was his previous ferocity and ruthlessness; all that remained was joy.

Actually, it's not Taiyi's fault. Since the last battle in the Purple Mansion, Xihe and Dijun have perished, Kunpeng has returned to the North Sea and left the Heavenly Court, and Fuxi has disappeared. In the vast Heavenly Court, only Taiyi remains. As for Bai Ze and the others, they don't count; they are just subordinates.

So Taiyi was really lonely. No one knew the pain in his heart. But when he saw Changxi reincarnated and returned, he could no longer control his joy.

"Brother Taiichi, it's been a long time!"

Chang'e looked at Taiyi, her voice sounding cold and aloof, but after speaking, she said nothing more, her mind completely absorbed in the Great Dao of Taiyin. She wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to break through to the Quasi-Saint level in one fell swoop, but she didn't know if she could surpass her previous life.

The Great Dao of Taiyin manifested in the primordial world, and Chang'e stepped into the River of Destiny, entering the realm of Quasi-Saint.

At this point, both sides stopped fighting. In fact, it was mainly because Taiyi stopped fighting, but both sides tacitly agreed to cease hostilities and cease combat.

Since neither side wanted to fight, the appearance of Chang'e gave both sides a chance to cease hostilities.

"Dijiang, this matter is not over yet. We'll settle this another day!"

After Taiyi finished speaking, he put away the Chaos Bell and ascended into the starry sky with Chang'e, which could be considered as protecting Chang'e.

Watching the two leave, the eleven Ancestral Witches ended the operation of the Great Array of Heaven, but everyone's expression was solemn. Their realm was qualitatively different from Taiyi's. If they continued to fight, they would have to fight to the death to have any chance of winning.

"Under the primordial chaos, all are but ants!"

"Below the sage, all are but ants!"

"Brothers, we must keep striving!"

After Dijiang finished speaking, he tore through space and left. He didn't want to waste time here, as he didn't have much time left to cultivate.

With Dijiang's departure, the other ancestral witches also left one after another; there was no longer anything for them to do here.

On Mount Tai, only Houtu and Xuanming remained standing. Xuanming suddenly spoke and asked:

"Sister Houtu, are you confident you can break through to the Quasi-Saint realm?"

Houtu did not hesitate and said directly, "No, my true body has reached a bottleneck. The Dao of Earth and the Dao of Reincarnation have been perfected. I don't know what to do next. I have no clue how to break through to Quasi-Saint."

Houtu looked dejected, very dissatisfied with her current cultivation level. She had broken through to the mid and late stages of Quasi-Saint earlier than Donghua, but she had been stuck in the late stage of Quasi-Saint for a long time and could not break through to the peak. Later, she had to cultivate with Donghua to break through the limitations of her true body.

"Should we practice dual cultivation again?"

This thought lingered in Houtu's mind, but she knew that she no longer had anything to attract Donghua. He had already comprehended the Great Dao of Reincarnation, and perhaps his understanding of the Great Dao had surpassed her own.

"What did you say Donghua and Nuwa did? At this time, neither of them is in the prehistoric world. There must be something fishy about this," Houtu suddenly said.

Xuanxiang pondered for a moment and said, "The fact that they could leave the Primordial World at the same time must be the Dao Ancestor's intention. Otherwise, Donghua would not have left so openly at this time. This is the guess of my eldest and second brothers."

Houtu pondered for a moment and agreed that it made sense. Now was the time for the three forces to compete, and Donghua must have been fearless to leave at this time. Otherwise, he would never have abandoned the Purple Mansion and left the Primordial World.

Just as the two were talking, a red light shot into the sky, and Hou Yi, carrying his divine bow, was seen chasing after Chang'e at an incredible speed.

"Hou Yi, stop!"

Upon seeing this, Houtu hurriedly shouted, and the power of time surged forth as she chased after Houyi. For at this moment, if Houyi went to find Chang'e, it would be suicide, and Taiyi would surely tear him apart.

Hou Yi charged forward with unstoppable speed, calling out, "Chang'e! Chang'e!"

However, at this moment, Chang'e's mind was completely immersed in the Great Dao, time and space, and the River of Destiny. She was fully accepting her past life memories, and the Great Dao of Taiyin was also reviving. The positions of Heaven and Earth were being re-coalesced, so she was completely unaware of Hou Yi's actions and shouts.

However, Hou Yi's actions immediately caught Tai Yi's attention. When he realized it was Hou Yi, he was overjoyed. It was truly remarkable.

"He courted death; it was truly an effortless endeavor!"

After muttering a word, Taiyi immediately took action. The Sun and Moon Essence Wheel left his hand, and the power of the Great Dao poured out. With the blessing of the innate spiritual treasure, the two powers descended like the sun and moon. Taiyi was going all out.

Hou Yi, who had leaped up, had no time to react, and his mind was not on Taiyi. He was instantly struck by the Sun Essence Wheel, his body feeling as if it had been hit by a great sun. His tiny primordial spirit instantly dissipated, the power of the Great Dao vanished, and the turbid air of the earth returned to heaven and earth.

At this moment, the Moon Essence Wheel's attack arrived again. Taiyi was trying to annihilate Houyi, body and soul. If Houyi were hit by this attack, he wouldn't even have the chance to be reincarnated.

Fortunately, Hou Tu had caught up with Hou Yi by then and blocked the attack for him.

Houtu carried the injured Houyi back to Mount Tai. She was afraid that Taiyi would make another move, as she was no match for him now.

After returning to Mount Tai, Hou Tu examined Hou Yi's injuries and found that his cultivation had been destroyed, his primordial spirit had dissipated, and only the power of the innate Great Dao rules remained, keeping Hou Yi alive and preventing him from being completely annihilated, but he had no vitality left.

It's practically half-dead!

"How is Hou Yi? Can he still be saved?" Xuanming asked anxiously. After all, Hou Yi was one of his own people and his subordinate. He had stayed in the Houtu tribe to heal his wounds.

Houtu shook her head and sighed, "It's hopeless. He's on his last breath. It's beyond human power to save him. How could he possibly withstand Taiyi's attack?"

"Even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman. It's truly a pity that one of the most talented great shamans of our witch clan has died like this!"

Xuanming's expression was slightly sorrowful. The most talented shamans in the Wu tribe were three: Da Yi, Xing Tian, ​​and Jiu Feng. Now, the way Hou Yi died was truly a shame.

Chang'e, who was immersed in cultivation at this moment, was completely unaware of all this, because her cultivation had reached a critical moment. Her two lives merged, and her cultivation instantly reached the early stage of Quasi-Saint, and she successfully severed one of her corpses.

However, Chang'e's cultivation did not stop. In her previous life, Chang'e's cultivation was at the early stage of Quasi-Saint, just one step away from breaking through to the middle stage of Quasi-Saint. If it weren't for Da Yi burning his essence blood and decisively shooting an arrow, Da Yi would definitely be the one who died.

Now she wants to use the accumulation of her two lifetimes to break through to the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint in one fell swoop.

The primordial power accumulated by the Taiyin star over several eons continuously poured down upon Chang'e, along with countless innate spiritual energies from heaven and earth, all of which were absorbed by Chang'e.

Her cultivation level has been steadily improving, progressing towards the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint!

……

After bidding farewell to Patriarch Bodhi, Du continued his journey, encountering many dangers along the way. The most dangerous encounter was with a demon god of the demon race who had just slaughtered humans and was on his way to Wanshou Mountain to find Taiyi.

Fortunately, he was given the power of the Great Dao by the Bodhi Patriarch, which frightened away that demon god, otherwise he would have died. However, the more he experienced, the more determined he became to seek a master and pursue the Dao.

"Only by becoming stronger can we change the fate of humanity and take control of our own destiny!"

As "Du" was moving forward, an old man followed him all the way. In fact, he was standing right next to "Du", but "Du" did not feel anything and could not see the old man.

The old man was none other than the Supreme One!

As he traveled, he became increasingly satisfied with "Du". He set up many tests for him, all of which were passed by the other party. The ideas and methods used were extremely in line with his own Taoist principles.

"The test is over; it's time for him to become an apprentice!"

The next moment, the figure of Taishang appeared in front of him and sat down on a rock.

"Du" was immediately shocked, because as a cultivator at the Taiyi realm, he had not even noticed how the other party had appeared. But after thinking for a moment, he felt that his chance had come.

He immediately stepped forward, bowed deeply to the Supreme One, and said, "This disciple of the human race is devoted to the Dao and wishes to study under a renowned master. I hope that you will accept me and impart the Great Dao to me."

Taishang nodded, but did not agree. Instead, he asked, "Since you are so devoted to the Dao, what is the Dao?"

"Du" pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know what the Dao is. I only know that the path I walk is my Dao."

Taishang frowned and continued to ask, "What is the Dao?"

This time, the Supreme Being's question was exactly the same as before, leaving "Du" at a loss for words. Could it be that his answer had displeased the other party, giving him another chance?

After pondering for a while, reflecting on his reasons for pursuing strength, "The path I have walked is my path!"

After answering, "Du" looked at Taishang without surprise or delight, his face expressionless, as if nothing could affect him.

After hearing this, the Supreme Lord smiled. Although he was not entirely satisfied with the answer, he was very pleased with the man's resolute character.

"I am the Supreme One of the Three Pure Ones, the chief disciple of the Dao Ancestor, and the head of the Xuanmen Sect. Would you be willing to become my disciple?"

Upon hearing this, "Du" was overjoyed and immediately knelt down, bowing his head and saying, "This disciple is willing to pay respects to Master!"

The Supreme Master waved his whisk and gently helped him up, then said, "You are my eldest disciple, and also the second-generation senior disciple of the Xuanmen. Today, I will bestow upon you the Daoist name: Xuandu. Is that acceptable?"

"Disciple Xuandu is willing and thanks Master!"

"Okay, okay, okay!"

Taishang said "good" three times, and then continued, "Since you have become my disciple, today I will bestow upon you some protective treasures."

After saying that, he took out several innate spiritual treasures and selected three of them to give to Xuandu.

These are the top-tier innate spiritual treasures, the Eight Views Palace Lantern and the Heaven and Earth Divine Mirror, and the superior-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Yin-Yang Bottle.

Xuandu didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the three spiritual treasures after thanking the Supreme Lord.

Taishang spoke again, saying, "I have two wonderful techniques here. One is the Taiqing True Scripture that I cultivate. This technique is enough to rank among the top three techniques in the primordial world."

"As for the second cultivation method, it is the Golden Core Method that I created when I was in the human race. It is also known as the Golden Core Great Dao and is very suitable for human cultivation. However, no one is currently cultivating this method. If you choose it, you will be the first person to do so."

After speaking, Taishang fell silent, leaving the choice to Xuandu.

Xuan Du found it difficult to make a choice at the moment. Could he say that he wanted both of these cultivation methods?

As the Supreme Disciple, he must cultivate the Great Dao of Taiqing, otherwise what kind of Supreme Disciple would he be? But he also did not want to give up the Great Dao of Golden Core.

After all, it concerns the human race. If I can cultivate the Golden Core Dao, it will definitely save the human race a lot of time, since I have a master like the Supreme One.

"This disciple wishes to cultivate entirely; is this permissible?"

Taishang said, "It's feasible, but you need to focus on one aspect. If you can combine the two at the Great Luo realm and forge your own path, your future will be limitless. This is also the key to whether you can become a Quasi-Saint."

"Disciple understands!"

Subsequently, Taichuan taught Xuandu two cultivation methods and also imparted various supernatural powers.

"Come, follow me to pay your respects to your two senior uncles!"

Taishang stood up and spoke, and then took Xuandu across time and space.

……

The situation in the prehistoric world was unpredictable and perplexing. One moment Taiyi and the Wu Clan were locked in a fierce battle, and the next moment both sides stopped fighting, leaving many powerful beings in the prehistoric world puzzled.

However, the demon race still completely surrounded Wanshou Mountain. Many demon saints and demon gods of the demon race gathered here, waiting for Taiyi's return, so as to launch a final all-out attack and completely destroy Wanshou Mountain.

"Brother Dao, we can't wait any longer. Taiyi is acting like a madman right now. I feel that if this continues, he might really disregard everything and break through the Earth Book's defenses."

Inside the Wuzhuang Temple, Zhen Yuanzi, with a worried expression, looked at Hongyun and shared his thoughts.

"Brother Dao, if all else fails, just tell Taiyi that you have already given your Primordial Purple Qi to Donghua. Since you no longer have the Primordial Purple Qi, I believe he will withdraw his troops."

"Anyway, with Fellow Daoist Donghua's cultivation level, Taiyi can't do anything to him!"

Hongyun, who was opposite him, had lost his previous composure and was now solemn. Taiyi's determination had indeed surprised him.

Hearing Zhen Yuanzi's words, Hongyun said bitterly, "It's no use. If I had told Taiyi about this before, he might have believed it. But now that I'm saying this, he definitely won't believe it. It might even anger him and speed up his attack."

Zhen Yuanzi thought about it and realized that it made sense, but the current situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable.

The earth membrane formed by the Book of Earth is indeed important, but if Taiyi is not afraid of this immense karma and forcibly breaks it, then wouldn't they be helpless to surrender? They really can't defeat Taiyi.

Hongyun thought for a moment and said, "Brother Dao, the only way now is to ask others for help so that Taiyi will withdraw his troops. Then we can wait for Donghua to arrive. I believe that with him there, everything can be resolved."

Zhen Yuanzi nodded in agreement. He also supported this point. To lift the siege of Wanshou Mountain, they had to ask others for help; otherwise, the two of them would not be able to hold it.

He then began to speak:

"Currently, only the Wu Clan and the Three Pure Ones can deal with Taiyi. As for the two in the West, they are probably not enough. Moreover, even if Jieyin and Zhunti can deal with Taiyi, it would be difficult to persuade them. Those two are extremely cunning."

"As for the Witch Clan, we don't have much of a relationship, and they just fought with Taiyi, so it's practically impossible for them to intervene. Therefore, only the Three Pure Ones are left!"

Hongyun chuckled softly and said slowly, "Brother, what you say is both right and wrong. There's indeed no hope for the Witch Clan, but we can still give those two in the West a try. How about I contact those two in the West, and you contact the Three Pure Ones? We can work together, what do you say?"

Zhen Yuanzi stroked his beard and said, "Good!"

After the two made their plan, they began to contact each other. Although Taiyi had sealed the space-time passage of Wanshou Mountain, he could not seal the message. For a powerful being in the late stage of Quasi-Saint, transmitting this message was indeed a trivial matter.

Zhunti, who was in the Western Vulture Peak, was the first to receive Hongyun's distress message.

"Senior brother, should we lend a hand in the matter of Longevity Mountain? Now that Taiyi has broken through to Quasi-Saint, he is beyond our ability to defeat."

Jieyin closed his eyes slightly, lost in a deep dream. At a certain moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and slowly said, "Whether you can win or not, you have to fight. When Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun repaired the Western Earth Veins, they ultimately owed a favor and incurred karmic debts."

Zhunti nodded and said, "Since Senior Brother has no objection, then I will send a message to Hongyun, and next time Taiyi makes a move, we will also make a move."

"Such great kindness!"

"Good, good!"

The two chanted the scriptures at the same time, and in an instant, boundless light filled the sacred mountain.

Meanwhile, in the East, Yuanshi also received a distress call from Zhen Yuanzi. Yes, it was Yuanshi himself!

Among the Three Pure Ones, Zhen Yuanzi and Yuan Shi had the best relationship. They met a long time ago, back in the ancient Longhan era.

"Third brother, now that I've received Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi's plea for help, I must take action this time. With eldest brother gone, Kunlun Mountain is in your hands!"

After Yuanshi finished speaking, he was about to set off for Longevity Mountain, but Tongtian stopped him.

"Second brother, Taiyi has already broken through to the Quasi-Saint level. I'm worried about you going alone. We'll go together. Even if Taiyi has extraordinary abilities, what can he do?"

Tongtian's words were originally well-intentioned, but they were indeed difficult for the proud Yuanshi to accept.

Just as Yuanshi was about to say something, a purple aura flew in from beyond the sky. As the purple aura fell, Taishang and Xuandu descended upon Kunlun Mountain.

Upon seeing this, the two instantly understood that the Supreme Being was not far from attaining enlightenment, but he simply did not know how to put his Great Dao into practice.

"Congratulations, elder brother, on your great progress in cultivation! And congratulations on gaining such a fine disciple!"

Taishang laughed heartily, bringing Xuandu before the two, but shook his head and sighed, "What is there to be happy about? Today, my cultivation has only just reached the level of Donghua in the past. I wonder what level Donghua has reached now?"

Yuanshi smiled and said, "I don't know what realm Donghua is at, but he has definitely not yet attained the Primordial Chaos Realm. As long as the power of the Witch and Demon Realms remains unbroken, Donghua cannot attain the Dao. This is an ironclad law of the Great Dao, the destiny of the Emperor's Path, and no one can change it!"

Taishang and Tongtian nodded in agreement. They had also realized this, since proving the Dao through force and through the Emperor's Way were the two most difficult paths to enlightenment.

To prove one's Dao through force means to break free from the shackles of the Heavenly Dao with one's own Great Dao, to sever the Heavenly Dao's constraints on oneself, and to become a truly free person. However, this path is also a dead end.

The Heavenly Dao is incredibly powerful. It is almost impossible to break its shackles before attaining enlightenment. However, it is still possible to become a saint through force after attaining enlightenment. Although it is difficult, it still gives people hope.

As for proving one's Dao through the Emperor's Way in the primordial world, it is an extremely difficult path. After all, you must subdue all forces, connect heaven and earth with your own power, and achieve the true position of the Heavenly Emperor!

Therefore, since the birth of the primordial world, no one has been able to succeed, which is why the three innate races and the witches and demons have been fighting to the death.

However, Donghua's appearance gave everyone hope again, the hope of proving the Dao of Hunyuan through the Emperor's Way.

Tongtian spoke up, "Junior Brother Donghua's strength is beyond doubt. It's estimated that after his return this time, he will eliminate the powerful force of the Lich King and unify the prehistoric world!"

When Donghua was mentioned, the three fell silent again. He was someone they were reluctant to talk about, especially Yuanshi, who still couldn't forget Donghua's sword strike on Kunlun Mountain, the three thousand sword energies formed from the three thousand Great Daos.
