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

Chapter 25 Taking on Another Disciple

Donghua arrived at a valley where the Golden-Winged Roc Qingxuan and the Iron-Eating Beast Yuanzhen were fighting.

Qingxuan's attacks were no longer as savage as before; they now appeared as if he possessed the Daoist wisdom of Quanzhen, with each move exuding grandeur and magnificence.

In contrast, Yuan Zhen's attacks, though wide and sweeping, were filled with murderous intent, like a demonic bear.

After watching for a while, Donghua stepped forward, and the two stopped fighting.

Qingxuan: "Master, you've emerged from seclusion."

Yuan Zhen: "Yuan Zhen greets the Emperor."

Donghua said to Qingxuan, "Hmm, not bad, you've improved. This is more like the son of Yuanfeng, showing some signs of being a primordial deity. Keep up the good work."

Qingxuan replied with great joy, "Thank you for your praise, Master. I will definitely work harder and will never let you down."

Donghua glanced at Yuanzhen, said nothing, but asked, "Yuanzhen, when we cultivators reach the Golden Immortal realm, we can live as long as heaven and earth. So tell me, what is the purpose of human life?"

Yuan Zhen's eyes dimmed; he knew he had disappointed the Great God. But thinking of his father, brothers, and mother's deaths, his heart was filled with nothing but hatred.

"Your Majesty, I have disappointed you, but I must avenge my father, brothers, and mother. I cannot let go of these grudges."

Donghua sighed and patted Yuanzhen's head.

Although Yuanzhen is tens of thousands of years old, in his eyes he is really like a child. When he first met Yuanzhen, his cautiousness and childlike innocence are still unforgettable, which is why he has always liked Yuanzhen.

"When have I ever asked you to let go of your hatred? If you had truly let go of that hatred, I would never have given you a second glance."

Yuanzhen looked at Donghua, puzzled.

Donghua: "I think the purpose of living is to overcome tribulations. The love, hatred, and desires in this world, as well as the obsessions and desires in cultivation, are like a series of test questions. To succeed, you must bravely overcome them, just like a carp leaping over the dragon gate. Only those who jump over are winners."

"But if you can still be open-minded, love your life, be positive and kind after experiencing hardships, and face the future with a good attitude, then you are a winner in life."

"Therefore, life is a game for the brave, because the brave are invincible, and the weak are destined to fail."

"So, are you truly a hero or a weakling?"

Yuanzhen looked at Donghua quietly, pondering his words.

The next moment, she truly broke down, dropped her weapon, threw herself into Donghua's arms, and burst into tears.

"God, I have no family left, I have nothing left. I really want my father to come back to life."

Donghua did not push Yuanzhen away, but instead held him in his arms and stroked Yuanzhen's soft fur.

"You still have me, Qingxuan, Taihua, and your people."

"You will definitely become the pride of your father, brothers, and mother."

Qingxuan stepped forward and put his arm around Yuanzhen's shoulder, saying, "Yes, Yuanzhen, you still have us and your clansmen. Isn't it just that old bastard Citie? I'll go with you and help you tear some holes in him."

Qingxuan looked at his friend who was crying in front of him. They were indeed friends. Although the two had almost died at each other's hands before, the time they spent in the Iron-Eating Beast Tribe had long since made those unpleasant things a thing of the past.

During this time, he stayed by Yuanzhen's side, trying to persuade him, but he was not good with words, so he could only accompany Yuanzhen to practice martial arts and cultivate.

Yuanzhen stepped out of Donghua's arms, wiped away her tears, and picked up the Hunyuan Ruyi Cudgel from the ground.

He knelt down solemnly and said, "Great God, I wish to become your disciple."

Donghua was not surprised. When he first met the two, he had already considered taking them as disciples. However, Yuanzhen's special background made him give up later.

He only succeeded in severing the corpse this time because of Yuan Zhen, which shows that the two are destined to be together, and their destiny is quite significant. Since that's the case, why give up?

Thinking of this, Donghua said, "We do indeed have a master-disciple relationship, but are you aware of my rules?"

Yuan Zhen nodded and said, "I will keep these three rules in mind and never forget them."

Donghua: "Very well, from this day forward, you, Yuanzhen, will be my second disciple, Donghua."

Yuanzhen knelt down and bowed three times, formally becoming an apprentice.

After the apprenticeship ceremony ended.

Donghua said, "Qingxuan, you are my eldest disciple. Apart from forging the Hunyuan Bright Silver Spear for you, I have not given you anything else."

"Today I bestow upon you the superior-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Taiji Mystic Seal, and the inferior-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Yin-Yang Mirror."

"As the saying goes, Wuji gives rise to Taiji. Taiji moves and generates Yang. When movement reaches its extreme, it becomes still. When stillness generates Yin, it moves again. Movement and stillness are mutually rooted. Yin and Yang are divided, and the two polarities are established."

"The Taiji Mystic Seal and the Yin-Yang Mirror, when used together, are comparable in power to a top-tier innate spiritual treasure. Since you are born with Yin and Yang energies, these two treasures are the perfect match for you."

"However, these two treasures are extremely powerful, and since your strength is still too low, you must use them with caution!"

Qingxuan respectfully accepted the two innate spiritual treasures, his eyes immediately turning red. He had never received such treatment since he, the Golden-Winged Roc, was born.

Before he was born, his mother had already transformed into a Taoist immortal to suppress the immortal volcano. After his birth, his elder brother disappeared without a trace.

He didn't even know the cultivation methods, and could only rely on the inheritance to cultivate the laws of space. He didn't even know how to cultivate the yin and yang energies that were born with him.

"Disciple bows in gratitude to Master."

"Foolish child, do not act like this. These are merely two magical treasures. You must know that magical treasures are inanimate; people are the most important."

Donghua said again, "Yuanzhen, you are new to my sect and I shouldn't bestow any treasures upon you, but having spent so much time with you and observed your character, I'll just bestow them upon you today as well."

As the saying goes, only the vessel and the name should not be given lightly. The innate spiritual treasure contains the laws of the Great Dao and is extremely powerful. How could someone who does not understand the mind and nature of things easily bestow it upon them?

"Your talent is exceptional. Your comprehension of the laws of power and the laws of slaughter makes you a born war god. You can break through all laws with sheer force and are born for battle, so you don't need many spiritual treasures."

"I have a spiritual treasure here called the Taixu Record, which is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure and contains the laws of illusion."

"The treasure record contains its own space, which can generate illusions to fight you, hone your skills, and strengthen your laws of power. It is perfect for you."

"The treasure record can also be used to set up a primordial illusion array, or to capture or trap people; its uses are endless."

After saying this, he bestowed the Taixu Record upon Yuanzhen.

Donghua: "You two are cultivating the Purple Mansion Immortal Path under my tutelage. This technique is the highest technique of my Purple Mansion, which I comprehended while listening to the Dao at the Purple Cloud Palace. It is also the origin of my position as the head of male immortals."

"Those who learn from me will live, those who imitate me will die. The Purple Mansion Immortal Path is most suitable for my cultivation, but it may not be suitable for you. You need to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm and walk your own path. Only then can you hope to reach the Primordial Chaos realm and the Quasi-Saint realm."

"If you cannot find your own path, the Purple Mansion Immortal Path can make you a Great Luo Golden Immortal, but in the end, you will only be a Primordial Chaos of Magic Power."

"I will keep in mind my Master's teachings."

Donghua: "Hmm, this child is teachable."

A true Primordial Golden Immortal is one who walks their own path, just like the Purple Mansion Immortal Path created by Donghua, the Creation Immortal Path created by Nuwa, and the Three Pure Ones, Dijun, Taiyi, and others.

Almost all the powerful beings in the primordial world who had names and titles have walked their own path, but some of them eventually gave up their own path and only achieved the state of being a being of mixed magical power.

Although he achieved Hunyuan, his path to enlightenment ended there.

"The Purple Mansion Immortal Path is our fundamental law, but you need a method to protect it. Today, I will impart to you three great supernatural powers."

"One of them is the ability to subdue dragons and tigers. This supernatural power was created by the Qilin during the Longhan period. It possesses the supernatural power of supporting the sky and is also known as great magical power."

"In the past, the Qilin used this great supernatural power to defeat the White Tiger and subdue the White Tiger clan, which led to the situation where the Qilin was revered on the land during that period."

After hearing Donghua's explanation, the two were already showing great eagerness, thinking to themselves, "This is true supernatural power, the ultimate freedom!"

Donghua continued, "The second supernatural power is called 'Size-to-Size Manipulation,' also known as 'Law of Heaven and Earth.' It was created by my master during the ancient war between immortals and demons. It can change size at will, and its power changes accordingly."

"It can imitate the heavens and the earth, and can also conceal its form; it is the method of changing and fighting."

"The third method is not about supernatural powers, but about the pure yang divine thunder created by your master. Thunder has various attributes, but all kinds of thunder are undoubtedly the righteous energy of heaven and earth."

"In the primordial world, the Heavenly Thunder and the Purple Cloud Thunder are the most revered. The Heavenly Thunder is the pinnacle of divine thunder magic, while the Purple Cloud Thunder is the pinnacle of immortal thunder magic. These two thunders can encompass all thunder in the world."

"If you two can cultivate these two thunders in the future, you will be considered true masters of the Thunder Dao."

After Donghua finished speaking, he began to teach the two supernatural powers and thunder magic.
