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

Chapter 273 Disciples of the Three Religions, Five Sages Opening the Heavens

On this day, Donghua brought Xuanqiong to Kunlun Mountain. Xuanming did not follow. Donghua told him to climb the mountain from the bottom and enter Tongtian Sect through normal channels.

This time, Donghua's visit to Kunlun Mountain was more impactful than his previous visits. Back then, he had no conflict of interest with the Three Pure Ones, and their relationship was quite simple. But now, with several of them attaining enlightenment, a conflict of interest is inevitable.

Donghua led Xuanqiong into Kunlun Mountain. At this time, the three sects had reached the most critical moment in their recruitment of disciples. A group of people who wanted to join the three sects were undergoing tests in the great formation. This was also the last test, a test of their character.

As soon as Donghua stepped into Kunlun Mountain, the Three Pure Ones immediately opened their eyes and looked at the foot of the mountain.

"My three senior brothers, how have you been?"

Before the three could think further, Donghua's cheerful voice rang out, followed by a figure appearing in front of the Sanqing Hall.

Upon seeing Donghua's arrival, the Three Pure Ones rose to greet him, and the disciples exclaimed:

"Greetings, Great Celestial Venerable!"

Donghua smiled and said, "No need for formalities. There are no Heavenly Emperors or Great Celestial Venerables here. Just call me Martial Uncle."

"Greetings, Uncle-Master Donghua!"

Donghua and the Three Pure Ones haven't fallen out yet, so these disciples are still very polite to Donghua. Besides, even if they did fall out, they would still have to be extremely respectful to Donghua, otherwise he could kill them with a single palm strike and no one could say anything.

After all, given Donghua's status and power, who would dare to disrespect him?

"It is an honor for Junior Brother Donghua to come to Kunlun. Please have a seat!" Taishang said with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, a throne appeared, and Donghua sat down alongside the Three Pure Ones. Without any hesitation, he sat down directly.

"My three senior brothers, this is my daughter, Xuanqiong!"

"Come, greet your three senior uncles!"

Xuanqiong stepped forward and respectfully said, "Qiong'er greets the three senior uncles. I wish them success in attaining sainthood and a long and prosperous life!"

The Three Pure Ones smiled slightly, especially the Primordial Heavenly Lord, who was very satisfied with the sensible Xuanqiong. This child had excellent aptitude, knew etiquette, and knew how to advance and retreat. He was truly rare. He then took out a primordial spiritual treasure and bestowed it upon Xuanqiong.

Donghua nodded slightly, indicating that he should accept it!

Xuanqiong accepted the magical treasure and said to Yuanshi Tianzun, "Qiong'er thanks Master Yuanshi for bestowing this treasure upon me!"

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded and said, "This treasure is called the Four Seas Bottle. I obtained it from a Dragon Clan Grand Luo when I was traveling through the prehistoric world. Its power is extraordinary."

Subsequently, Taishang and Tongtian also bestowed spiritual treasures upon him, which Xuanqiong thanked and accepted one by one.

Looking down at the ground, Xuanqiong hesitated for a moment before standing beside Wudang of the Jie Sect.

Because there were several female disciples of the Jie Sect here, and her own brother was going to become a disciple of the Tongtian Sect Master, she felt closer to the Jie Sect.

Donghua and his companions ignored the people below and started chatting amongst themselves!

They were talking about the Primordial Chaos!

Meanwhile, Xuanming had already stepped into the formation set up by Tongtian and started walking forward from the foot of Kunlun Mountain. He made rapid progress and quickly arrived at the last formation.

This action also attracted the attention of Tongtian, whose divine eyes pierced through the great formation and saw through Xuanming's disguise at a glance.

He then looked at Donghua and transmitted his voice, "Junior Brother, what is the meaning of this?"

Donghua smiled and said, "I want him to become a disciple of my senior brother, learn the Shangqing Great Law, and travel and grow outside. He is still too immature now, and staying in the Heavenly Court will not be good for his growth."

Tongtian was overjoyed to hear this. He had always enjoyed teaching, and now that Donghua's son wanted to become his disciple, it was a great achievement. How could he not be happy?

"Senior brother, don't treat him with special favors. Treat him as your own disciple and treat him as you would like to be. Under your tutelage, he will never be the Xuanming of the Heavenly Court, but the Xuanming of the Intercepting Sect."

Tongtian said, "Since Junior Brother Donghua trusts me, then I will accept him as my personal disciple and teach him well, so as not to tarnish our reputations!"

After exchanging a few words, the two began to read the text as if nothing had happened.

At this moment, six people emerged from the formation set up by Yuanshi Tianzun. These were the remaining six of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect.

Then, eight people emerged from the array set up by Tongtian. These were the Seven Immortals who would later serve him, as well as Xuanming, who arrived last.

As for those who failed to pass the final formation, they were all accepted as disciples by Tongtian and became outer disciples of the Jie Sect. After all, these people were able to pass the previous formations, so their aptitude and other qualities were not simple. The only thing they lacked was their temperament.

Several people also emerged from the Human Sect's formation, but they were all taken in by Xuandu and did not become disciples of the Supreme Master; they were merely disciples of the Human Sect.

Seeing the group of people walking out of the formation, Taishang did not make a move, because he did not accept disciples, so Yuanshi Tianzun spoke first.

"You six will become my personally taught disciples, one of the twelve personally taught disciples of the Chan Sect!"

"Greetings, Master!"

Subsequently, the Primordial Celestial Venerable bestowed upon them spiritual treasures and cultivation methods.

Thus, the twelve direct disciples of the Chan sect returned to their positions.

Guangchengzi, Chijingzi, Julusun, Huanglong Zhenren, Taiyi Zhenren, Yuding Zhenren, Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun, Puxian Zhenren, Cihang Daoren, Lingbao Dafashi, Daoxing Tianzun, Qingxu Daode Zhenjun.

Of these twelve disciples, Donghua was most interested in Cihang Zhenren, but to his regret, Cihang Zhenren was a female immortal.

Instead of being a male immortal, she was later reincarnated as Guanyin, taking on a female form.

The Yuanshi sect's ability to judge people was mediocre; their only notable achievement was in the South Pole. This disciple's accomplishments were indeed remarkable; he was originally the Antarctic Longevity Emperor of the Heavenly Court, a quasi-saint.

As for the remaining twelve direct disciples, their achievements were all mediocre, though this mediocreness is relative to their status as disciples of a sage.

After all, even the weakest of the Twelve Golden Immortals was a Great Luo Golden Immortal, which was by no means simple.

After the Investiture of the Gods ended, Guang Chengzi broke through to the Quasi-Saint realm, and Cihang transformed from a Daoist into a Buddha, thus achieving the position of the head of the Four Great Bodhisattvas of Buddhism, with the cultivation level of a Quasi-Saint.

As for the other disciples, I wonder if any of them have broken through to the Quasi-Saint realm. It seems that Master Taiyi and Master Yuding have a good chance, since they are both innate humans with excellent aptitude, fortune, and temperament.

Taiyi Zhenren, in particular, was ruthless to the extreme.

Especially regarding the Shiji incident, he was ruthless!

How cruel!

You can criticize Taiyi for being unkind, but such a mindset is indeed suitable for the prehistoric world.

Subsequently, Tongtian accepted Xuanming as his fourth personal disciple and the second senior brother of the Jie Sect.

When Yuanshi and Taishang saw Xuanming, they immediately understood. They knew at a glance who the hidden Heavenly Court's fortune and its origin were, but neither of them said it out loud, since it wasn't a big deal.

The other seven are the Seven Immortals' Attendants, neither as direct disciples nor as outsiders, but they enjoy the same treatment as direct disciples.

With this, the three schools of thought—Human, Chan, and Jie—ended their practice of accepting disciples.

Donghua greeted Yuanshi and Tongtian's newly accepted disciples and casually bestowed upon them a post-natal spiritual treasure, either a nine-thousand-year-old peach of immortality, not particularly precious, but not simple either.

After the disciple-acceptance ceremony was concluded, Taishang spoke up: "Junior Brother Donghua, we wish to create a world within the chaos as the location of our Daoist temple, so that we can better protect the primordial world."

Upon hearing this, Donghua didn't rush to say anything, because this matter was definitely not simple. If it were just about creating a world in chaos, there would be no need to tell him at all.

As expected, seeing that Donghua remained silent, Taishang continued, "We wish to make the world subordinate to the Heavenly Realm, and also make it a part of the Heavenly Realm, turning the Thirty-Three Heavens into Thirty-Six Heavens. I wonder what Junior Brother Donghua thinks?"

The fox's tail is now showing. Donghua is very clear about this. In the original primordial trajectory, the thirty-three heavens of the celestial realm became thirty-six heavens. The three heavens established by the Three Pure Ones are directly suspended above the Great Luo Heaven, and in terms of status, they are one head above the Heavenly Emperor Haotian.

In the original timeline, this wouldn't have been a big deal, given the Three Pure Ones' cultivation levels and Haotian's inferiority. But now...

"I am deeply grateful for the support of the Heavenly Court from my three senior brothers. I fully support this matter. After I return, I will move the Great Luo Heaven from its original location to make room for my three senior brothers."

Establishing the Three Heavens is not as simple as it seems. After all, the place where the Three Pure Ones reside will naturally attract good fortune, especially the Daoist temples of the three sages. This will make the Heavenly Court more legitimate and safer.

After all, the Celestial Realm and the starry sky are the first line of defense for the prehistoric world. Whether it is the extraterrestrial demon realm or other worlds, they cannot bypass the Celestial Realm if they want to attack the prehistoric world.

Donghua's shamelessness left Taishang speechless for a moment. Their idea was to establish the Three Heavens above the Great Luo Heaven, close to the Chaos.

"How can we trouble Junior Brother Donghua like this? We can simply remain attached to the Heavenly Realm for the three days. The Great Luo Heaven is crucial to the stability of the Heavenly Realm, so it's best to leave it alone!"

Donghua laughed and said, "What trouble is there? With the support of my three senior brothers, what is this little trouble? Besides, as the Heavenly Emperor, moving the Great Luo Heaven is a minor issue and will not affect the stability of the Heavenly Realm."

Since you're shameless, I'll be even more shameless than you. It's just a little pretense, right? I'm good at that!

Taishang's face twitched slightly. This Donghua was truly cunning. No matter where the Three Pure Ones were, it was all the same to them. This was not a problem.

However, if the three heavens could truly be established above the Great Luo Heaven, it would make the world understand that the sage is above the Heavenly Emperor.

Seeing that Donghua wouldn't budge, Taishang understood that the matter was impossible, and then said, "Since that's the case, we won't disturb Junior Brother Donghua's quiet cultivation in Heaven. Let's create the world from chaos!"

They cannot accept the idea of ​​having the three of them live under the Great Luo Heaven of Donghua.

Donghua didn't say anything more. After all, if they continued, it would turn into a falling out, and it wasn't worth it for such a small matter.

In the blink of an eye, five hundred years had passed. During these five hundred years, Donghua took Xuanqiong on a tour of Kunlun Mountain and witnessed its majestic and winding landscape.

He also took Xuanqiong to Xikunlun. Xikunlun is much quieter than before, but it is also much more lively now.

The place is deserted because all the forces of Xikunlun have joined the Heavenly Court, and only a few people are still guarding it. Even Yaochi has been moved to the Heavenly Realm by the Queen Mother of the West.

The area is bustling because more and more independent cultivators are gathering here, but only on the outskirts of West Kunlun; no one dares to go into the real interior yet.

After all, not counting Donghua and the Heavenly Court, just the Queen Mother of the West alone is a powerful being at the peak of the Quasi-Saint level. Apart from the Six Saints, who in the prehistoric world dares to say that they can definitely defeat the Queen Mother of the West?

Moreover, the Queen Mother of the West, who controls the Heavenly Tribulation, is the first person in the prehistoric world, besides Donghua and the Six Sages, whom one cannot afford to offend; otherwise, under the Heavenly Tribulation, one will eventually be reduced to ashes.

Just like Donghua's Daoist temple, Shouyang Mountain, although he has hardly ever been there, no one dares to go to Shouyang Mountain, because it is a matter of face.

Even humans dare not go to the main mountain of Shouyang Mountain, but only live at the foot of the mountain and in other mountain ranges.

Donghua spent his time in Kunlun waiting for the Three Pure Ones to open the heavens, and also to have a discussion on the Dao. After all, at their level, they would not hide anything from each other, and only by exchanging ideas could they advance further.

"Uncle-Master Donghua, it's been a long time!"

On Qilin Cliff, Donghua was comprehending the Daoist essence of Kunlun Mountain when Jinling arrived at the same time.

"haven't seen you for a long time!"

This was the first time the two had spoken since their last parting at Kunlun. Jin Ling's cultivation had reached the peak of Taiyi, and his cultivation speed was truly fast. Moreover, judging from the Dao aura around him, the Daluo realm should not be far off.

The two stood on Qilin Cliff, neither speaking, their gazes fixed on the distance. Dressed in white, their cloaks billowing in the wind, they resembled figures from a painting.

After a long while, Donghua took out a token and handed it to Jinling, saying, "You cultivate the Golden Path and the Starry Path. Now that the Heavenly Canopy has formed, it has affected your cultivation. This token will allow you to be unaffected by the Heavenly Canopy and directly comprehend the Starry Path. It will also allow you to freely enter and exit the Heavenly Realm and the Starry Sky!"

Jin Ling smiled and gripped the token tightly in her hand.

"Alright, I will come to the Heavenly Court to see you after I have cultivated to the Great Luo level. Moreover, I feel that there is always a force in the starry sky that is drawing me in!"

Donghua had already guessed Jinling's past life, and it was probably pretty close to the truth.

But none of this matters to Donghua. Whether it's Jinling or Doumu, it makes no difference to him now.

……

In the chaos, the six saints gathered. This time, both the Great Luo Immortals and Quasi-Saints came. After all, how many times in the prehistoric world could the feat of the Five Saints opening the heavens occur?

After everyone exchanged greetings, Taishang flew out, and a Taiji diagram automatically appeared beneath his feet, which then rapidly expanded, covering a portion of the chaos.

A golden bridge appeared out of thin air, piercing through the chaos.

The Supreme Being stood holding a whisk, centered on himself, and with a wave of the whisk, stirred up boundless chaotic waves.

"Sword intent?" Donghua was quite surprised to see this. He did not expect that the Supreme One would have such a level of swordsmanship, which was in no way inferior to his own.

However, upon closer reflection, it makes sense. Most of the various sects under the Human Sect in later generations focused on sword cultivation, so the Supreme One's sword cultivation level must have been quite high.

The Supreme One's whisk shattered the chaos!

At this moment, the innate treasure Taiji Diagram stood out from thin air, with Yin and Yang energies mixing and the three thousand Great Daos moving together, quickly suppressing the broken chaos. The endless chaotic energy was shaken back, the sky became clear and the earth became turbid, and the heavens and earth began to appear.

The Supreme Dao continued to spread in all directions until it could no longer withstand the pressure of chaos and finally stopped.

At the same time, a turbid world truly took shape, and all things were born, their vastness unknown!

As heaven and earth were formed, chaotic energy from beyond the realm compressed into the world, attempting to destroy this newly formed world.

At this moment, the Supreme Being unleashed the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda, and the Xuanhuang divine light spread throughout the world. Its boundless power pierced through billions of miles of chaos, shattering the chaotic energy surrounding the world into dust.

Yin and Yang and the Five Elements manifest in the world, giving rise to creation!

The Supreme One once again summoned the Taiji Diagram, which stabilized the universe. A golden bridge spanned heaven and earth, and the newly formed world instantly stabilized, with heaven and earth clearly separated and the Great Dao appearing.

Then, the spiritual treasure Earth Lamp was refined. As the Primordial Power surged in, the Earth Lamp began to grow larger, covering the sky and the sun, and divine light filled the world.

The Heaven-Burning Purple Flame burned away all the remaining chaotic energy in the world, turning it into pure innate spiritual energy that filled the space.

A wisp of divine flame transformed into a great sun, illuminating heaven and earth!

In an instant, mountains, rivers, and all living things emerged.

A world has been created!

The Supreme Being gathered the power of the Great Dao, and this power manifested as three words that fell upon the world: Great Crimson Heaven!

Then, the Supreme One pointed out, and the power of creation evolved. The Great Crimson Heaven instantly changed, and within the world, various smaller worlds and grotto-heavens rapidly took shape. The central grotto-heaven was named: "Eight Trigrams Palace!"

The Supreme Lord placed the ground lamp directly in the Eight Views Palace to illuminate the world. From that moment on, the ground lamp was also known as the Eight Views Palace Lamp!

Then, the Primordial Celestial Venerable opened up: the Pure Subtle Heaven and the Jade Void Palace!

The Tongtian Sect Leader opened up: Yu Yu Tian and Bi You Palace!

The Bodhisattvas Jieyin and Zhunti jointly opened up the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.

However, as soon as the Pure Land of Amitabha Buddha was opened, it led the world into the primordial chaos, and finally placed it on Mount Ling, hidden in the void. At the same time, the Pure Land of Amitabha Buddha also began to give back to the Western Continent.

Donghua smiled slightly when he saw this scene. These two were determined to seize every opportunity to revive the West.
