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

Chapter 310 A single word from a fellow Daoist can suffice for a lifetime

In the Huaxu tribe, the storm of a battle was extinguished without a trace, and after the dust settled, all that remained was splendor and celebration.

Long Yin was killed by Hua Xu with a single palm strike, but he was still given a chance to reincarnate. His true spirit and the Great Dao were not completely destroyed, which can be considered as giving him a glimmer of hope.

As for Long Yin's few loyal subordinates, Hua Xu did not kill them or abolish their cultivation. Instead, she expelled them from the Hua Xu tribe. They were human but not members of the Hua Xu tribe, and thus became homeless.

With this, the chaos in the Huaxu tribe came to a complete end, and the power of the tribe once again fell into Huaxu's hands. After all, Huaxu was the founder of this tribe, and it was only because his cultivation level had regressed that Long Yin was able to take advantage of him.

Although Hua Xu held great power in the tribe, she did not choose to continue serving as the chieftain, so the position of chieftain was vacant, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Feng Qing initially had some ideas, but upon seeing the alliance between Hua Xu and Chong Ming, along with the unpredictable Xuan Du and the enigmatic Fu Xi, he ultimately extinguished the last vestige of ambition in his heart and completely submitted.

In a grand hall, Hua Xu, Sui Ren, Xuan Du, Chong Ming, and several others sat upright.

"You're saying you want Fuxi to be the chieftain of the Huaxu tribe right now?"

In response to Suirenshi's question, Huaxu nodded and said softly, "Fuxi has nothing left to learn from me. He has surpassed me in every aspect. The only thing he lacks now is cultivation, but for him, it's only a matter of time."

Xuandu also spoke up, saying, "That is indeed true. I can no longer teach Fuxi. What remains is for him to learn from Heaven and Earth, to find his own path, and to find the path of humanity."

"In this process, none of us can teach him; he can only rely on himself. I still agree with making Fuxi the chieftain of the Huaxu tribe, but that's your business, and I can't say much more. You can decide the specifics yourself."

Although Xuandu was one of the first innate humans, he is now the leader of the Human Cult and a disciple of a sage, so he still does not want to interfere in the division of power within the human race.

Upon hearing Fuxi and Huaxu's words, Suirenshi didn't say anything, but simply nodded slightly. After all, this was an internal matter of the Huaxu tribe, and discussing it with him was just a polite gesture, also considering his special status.

Suirenshi stood up and said, "Huaxu, fellow Daoists, I won't stay any longer. A human tribe has openly issued a proclamation opposing the current rule of the human race, which can be considered as establishing its own independent state."

"His Majesty the Emperor has issued a decree; I must attend to this matter!"

Upon hearing Suirenshi's words, Huaxu could no longer contain her doubts and asked why the human race had been doing this recently.

Suiren hesitated for a moment, but still told the story of what the human race’s high command had decided. After all, these were the first generation of humans, and they would not betray the human race.

Upon hearing Suirenshi's words, everyone fell silent, unsure of what to say. If they had to say something, they would simply find him adorable!

The high-ranking members of the Tianhuang clan, Suiren clan, Youchao clan, Zhisheng clan, and others were truly endearing; they were willing to sacrifice everything for their people.

The group bowed gently to Suirenshi, a bow made solely for the sake of the human race!

Suiren laughed heartily, accepting the offer without hesitation. He then walked out of the main hall, but after taking a few steps, he suddenly turned back, looked at Huaxu, and asked, "Sister, I have a question for you. How do you view your relationship with Fuxi in the future?"

Suirenshi pondered this question for a long time. It was only a matter of time before Fuxi awakened his memories. How would Fuxi and Huaxu get along then, and what would their relationship be?

Hua Xu smiled gently, looked at Fuxi in the distance who was explaining life skills to his people, and then said, "As long as his memory remains unawakened, I will be his mother for a day. If his memory awakens in the future, a single word as 'fellow Daoist' will be enough for a lifetime!"

……

"Are you saying that because you couldn't remember the date, the child was born at an unknown time, and ultimately miscarried?" Fuxi asked the clansmen beside him in confusion.

"Yes, young clan leader, although the Great Celestial Venerable has established four seasons and twelve months, we don't know how to calculate the exact dates, which is why this situation has occurred!"

"Yes, although the four seasons and twelve months are clearly defined, we don't know how to keep track of time, so what can we do?"

"..."

The group chattered amongst themselves, quickly explaining the situation. After a moment of contemplation, Fuxi said, "Didn't the Great Celestial Venerable widely propagate the Way of the Eight Trigrams? You can also use the Eight Trigrams to make calculations, why not use it?"

One of them spoke up and said, "Young clan leader, you may not know this, but the Great Celestial Venerable has a high realm and a high position. The Eight Trigrams he passed down are even more profound and unfathomable. Unfortunately, we cannot cultivate, we have no cultivation, and we do not have any understanding of the Great Dao. We are helpless while guarding this treasure mountain."

Only then did Fuxi fully understand what was going on. But then again, when Donghua was teaching the Great Dao of the Eight Trigrams, he also taught the Later Heaven Eight Trigrams.

But back then, there were no ordinary people in the primordial world; even the weakest among them possessed cultivation. Therefore, there was no way to teach the Eight Trigrams method that only ordinary people could deduce.

The main reason is that Donghua looks down on that kind of merit, and has neither the time nor the energy to do it. What ordinary mortals need is not the way of the Eight Trigrams, but the method of the Eight Trigrams.

After parting ways with the others, Fuxi went to a mountaintop to meditate alone. With his eyes slightly closed, the Five Elements and Yin-Yang principles he had comprehended emerged.

The Dao of the Golden Immortal is still very shallow, so there were no great phenomena around Fuxi. However, it can be seen from these two basic Daos that Fuxi has a deep understanding of the Dao and has reached the pinnacle of this realm!

Before long, Fuxi started drawing on the ground, writing and drawing, but no one knew what he was doing.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that what Fuxi had drawn was indeed a Bagua diagram, but it had form but no spirit, and no Daoist charm in it.

"In the Book of Changes transmitted by the Great Celestial Venerable, the Qian trigram is the main trigram of Heaven, and there are two other types with the Kun trigram as the main trigram. However, both of these types of trigrams are very profound. Although they are nothing to cultivators, they are beyond the reach of mortals."

Just as Fuxi was writing and drawing and muttering to himself, a figure appeared beside him. The newcomer was none other than Chongyang, who was Donghua in disguise.

Fuxi was immersed in his own world, focusing on studying the Eight Trigrams, and was completely unaware of Donghua's arrival, as if no one was around.

Ironically, Fuxi had never been exposed to the Eight Trigrams before this incident, and it was only after this event that he devoted himself to studying the Eight Trigrams.

However, as Fuxi studied the Bagua, he instantly entered an extraordinary world, a realm where the Bagua evolved into all things.

Fuxi murmured, "Qian and Kun represent Heaven and Earth, and in the Eight Trigrams, they also represent Yin and Yang. Qian represents pure Yang, and Kun represents pure Yin. The two encompass and transform into each other."

"When Yin is pure, Yang arises; when Yang is pure, Yin arises. We are intertwined, existing forever as a 'whole'."

"Wonderful, wonderful, truly wonderful!" After studying it for a while, Fuxi couldn't help but clap his hands in praise. He never imagined that there was such a wondrous Dao in the world.

There are three thousand great paths in the primordial world, none of them superior or inferior. It is only because of humans that the paths are ranked. Therefore, no one dares to say that their own path is the strongest in the primordial world, nor can anyone definitively say which path is the strongest.

But when it comes to the most applicable Dao in the primordial world, the first thing that comes to mind is Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, the Four Symbols and the Eight Trigrams.

These four great paths are related to all aspects of people's cultivation and life, from quasi-saints and saints to ordinary people and those practicing Qi cultivation.

When Fuxi came to his senses, he realized that a Taoist was standing next to him. He quickly stood up and bowed, because he knew that the person who could appear next to him so quietly was definitely a master.

After all, how could someone who came to your side through those who protected you from childhood be simple?

Although Fuxi didn't ask any more questions and wasn't interested in his own background, he knew that there were many people protecting him, and Tianlu, whom he had unintentionally subdued, was one of them.

As for the others, it was only when he broke through to the Golden Immortal realm that he suddenly traveled through the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and learned that there were several powerful figures around Qishan.

However, these people did nothing, simply guarding Qishan and protecting themselves. Fuxi didn't ask any further questions; he would know when the time was right. Right now, he was only interested in the human race and the Dao.

"Greetings, senior!"

Donghua nodded, then sat cross-legged on the mountaintop, just like Fuxi had done, and gestured for Fuxi to sit down as well.

Then Donghua took out Da Hong Pao spiritual tea and a complete tea set, and began to brew the tea.

Fuxi remained calm and composed, quietly watching Donghua brew tea without uttering a single unnecessary word. The two seemed more like longtime friends than strangers.

After Donghua finished brewing the tea, he poured a cup for Fuxi.

"Excellent tea, truly excellent tea!" Fuxi exclaimed after taking a sip, then took another sip until he finished the entire cup of tea.

"Senior, this tea is truly a masterpiece of the three arts: tea itself, art, and philosophy."

Upon hearing this, Donghua laughed heartily. Since the advent of Da Hong Pao, no one had ever described it this way before. Hearing Fuxi's words today truly delighted him.

"Good, good, good. With your three unique skills, you deserve to be called a fellow Daoist by me, Chongyang. You don't need to call me senior; just call me fellow Daoist Chongyang." Donghua added another cup of spiritual tea to Fuxi's cup and said softly.

Fuxi accepted the teacup with both hands and said, "Since you say so, senior, I will respectfully comply. Fuxi greets fellow Daoist!"

Donghua nodded and said, "This tea is called Da Hong Pao, but from today onwards, it will have another name: Sanjue Tea."

"If that's the case, then it's Fuxi's destiny and good fortune to be able to name this spiritual tea," Fuxi quickly said.

Donghua smiled but didn't say anything more about it. Instead, he looked at the Bagua diagram that Fuxi had drawn earlier and asked, "Fellow Daoist Fuxi, are you interested in the Bagua?"

Fuxi nodded and looked at the Bagua diagram, saying, "Fuxi's cultivation is shallow, and I cannot yet comprehend the great Dao of the Bagua. However, based on the Book of Changes written by the Great Celestial Venerable, I have grasped a little bit of its essence and deeply feel its power. It will surely bring blessings to all people under heaven. The Great Celestial Venerable's merits are immeasurable!"

Donghua nodded and said, "The Great Dao of the Eight Trigrams begins with the Great Dao of Wuji, evolving into Yin and Yang, the Three Powers, the Four Symbols, the Five Elements, the Six Harmonies, and the Seven Stars, until the Eight Trigrams evolve into all things and all paths."

"You are currently only at the Golden Immortal realm. I suggest that in addition to your main cultivation of the Great Dao, you should also cultivate the Eight Trigrams Great Dao. This will benefit both you and the human race."

Upon hearing this, Fuxi bowed and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Fellow Daoist Chongyang. I will never forget it!"

Donghua pointed his finger, and two spiritual treasures appeared before Fuxi. He then said, "We are destined to meet. I give you these two spiritual treasures. You can refine them directly, and you should study them carefully in the future."

Donghua gave Fuxi the top-tier innate spiritual treasure, the Hetu Luoshu. This treasure originally belonged to Dijun, but later fell into Taiyi's hands. Finally, Fuxi snatched it from Bai Ze. Therefore, Fuxi is now the owner of these two spiritual treasures.

Before his reincarnation, Fuxi left the Hetu and Luoshu with Donghua, so that Donghua could help him achieve enlightenment at the right time.

Now is the perfect time!

The moment Fuxi came into contact with the spiritual treasure, the Hetu and Luoshu entered Fuxi's Niwan Palace, instantly recognizing him as its master.

"Fellow Daoist Chongyang, these spiritual treasures are far too precious. I, Fuxi, am unworthy to enjoy them. Please take them back!" Upon learning that these were two top-tier spiritual treasures, Fuxi could no longer sit still.

Donghua smiled and waved his hand dismissively, saying, "It's decided then. These two spiritual treasures are destined for you. You can use them to comprehend the Great Dao of the Eight Trigrams. Whether you can gain any insight depends on your ability!"

Seeing that Donghua had made his decision, Fuxi said nothing more and could only accept it. More and more outrageous things were happening to him, so he didn't care about the two spiritual treasures Donghua gave him.

The two then drank tea and discussed philosophy, not the path of cultivation, but rather some philosophical principles and ways of dealing with people.

On an unnamed hilltop, the laughter of the two could be heard from time to time, making them seem nothing like strangers who had just met.

……

"Senior Sister, you don't need to be so worried. I just arrived at the Huaxu Tribe and you came right away. Are you afraid that something might happen to Fellow Daoist Fuxi?"

After Donghua's last conversation with Fuxi, he built a hut on that unnamed hill and lived there. During this time, Fuxi often came here, and the two talked about everything under the sun. A few days later, Nuwa arrived at the hill.

Nuwa ignored Donghua's teasing and instead asked, "Did you successfully pave the way? Have you broken through to the fourth level of the Heavenly Realm?"

Nuwa cannot see through Donghua's realm at all. If Donghua were still at the third level of the Heavenly Realm, she would definitely be able to sense it.

But now, when she looks at Donghua, it's as if she's looking at the Dao itself, as if Donghua is the Great Dao, but sometimes he just looks like an ordinary mortal.

She had only ever seen this kind of thing with her master Hongjun, and Donghua was the second person to do so.

The main reason is that Nuwa herself is about to face the task of clearing the way, so she is very concerned about whether Donghua will succeed.

……

P.S.: Sorry for not updating yesterday, because I almost died from drinking.
