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

Chapter 34 Protector (Please continue reading)

"Oh, just friends?"

Undeterred, the bluebird continued, "But you two are truly a perfect match, far more so than the Heavenly Emperor and Empress. One is the King of the East, the other the King of the West; one is the head of the male immortals, the other the head of the female immortals; one is the lord of the Western Kunlun, the other the lord of the Eastern Purple Palace."

As they listened to Qingniao's words, the others nodded in agreement, and even Donghua himself couldn't help but nod.

After the bluebird finished speaking, he finally realized what all this was all about.

Donghua then stopped discussing this issue.

"I have something to tell you all."

The group sat up straight and listened attentively.

Donghua: "Last time when we defeated Panwang, we obtained some spiritual treasures. You all contributed to that, and I wish to share one of them with you."

Upon hearing this, the group shook their heads in refusal. They had only put in so much effort; how could they possibly deserve a reward of a primordial spiritual treasure?

The three children, in particular, immediately refused, and seeing this, Donghua said nothing more.

"Since that's the case, then forget it. If you or any of you ever encounter any difficulties, you can come to my Purple Mansion to find me."

He gave them a spiritual treasure to completely get rid of this karmic debt, as he didn't want any more trouble in the future. Since none of them wanted it, he decided to let it go.

After much hesitation, Qianyu finally made a decision and sincerely said to Donghua, "Your Majesty, my heart is set on the Dao, but I lack the method to transform into a dragon. I am willing to become Your Majesty's mount so that I may obtain the method to transform into a dragon."

Upon hearing this, Donghua shook his head in refusal.

Qianyu is exceptionally talented and has already become a Great Luo Golden Immortal. Obtaining this mount would indeed be excellent.

However, Qianyu had been kind to him, and the person he truly wanted to settle the karmic debt with was actually Qianyu, so he could not take him as a mount.

Donghua: "The method your Huilong clan seeks to transform into a Yinglong is actually a method to break through to the Quasi-Saint level. I am unaware of this method, but I can find it for you. As for the mount, let's not mention it again, shall we?"

Without hesitation, Qianyu said, "Your Majesty, my clan of dragons has a lowly origin. Since my birth, I have experienced thousands of hardships, both great and small. Although I barely managed to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, I do not know the way forward. Even if I obtain the true method, I cannot understand it. Now I am willing to serve Your Majesty."

Qianyu's loyalty this time was genuine. Ever since Donghua took the blow for him last time, he had felt that a scholar would die for one who understands him.

But these past few days, spending time with the Emperor, I have truly come to understand what great wisdom and magnanimity are.

That's why he was willing to serve as a mount, even with the rank of a great immortal.

Never underestimate the value of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal. In any era of the prehistoric world, a Grand Luo Golden Immortal is undoubtedly a master. Only those who reach the Grand Luo level can be called emperors or supreme beings.

In the primordial world, there are indeed some powerful beings whose mounts are at the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, but these mounts are all the result of their cultivation since they were weak.

To put it simply, you only become a Great Luo Golden Immortal after you become a mount.

However, if you were to ask a Great Luo Immortal to willingly become a mount, probably no one would agree, unless they were a Saint or a Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Donghua thought for a moment. Qianyu came from humble beginnings, yet he achieved the Great Luo realm and mastered the One Yuan Heavy Water technique. His aptitude and perseverance were indeed extraordinary, and his temperament was also impeccable.

So Donghua said, "It is indeed impossible to take you as my mount, but would you be willing to become my protector?"

Qianyu was overjoyed upon hearing this. Only a trusted confidant could be appointed as a Dharma Protector, which was far better than any mount. Moreover, the Dharma Protector would be able to accompany His Majesty at all times. This was an extremely good thing, so how could he possibly refuse?

Immediately, Qianyu bowed down and worshipped Donghua, acknowledging him as his master.

After bowing three times, Donghua gestured for Qianyu to rise.

"From now on, you will be a protector of Donghua. You must not rely on my name to do evil, nor bully the weak without cause. Can you do that?"

Qianyu respectfully said, "This disciple can do it, and only hopes that Your Majesty will teach me."

Although the Dharma Protector is not a disciple, he can call himself a disciple, and in a sense, he can be considered half a disciple.

"well."

Donghua reached out and touched Qianyu's forehead, imparting to him the method of the Purple Mansion Immortal Path.

Qianyu was so engrossed in the world of the Purple Mansion Immortal Path that he lost himself.

After waking up shortly afterward, he said to himself with self-deprecation, "I was foolish before, actually deluding myself into becoming an Yinglong. I truly did not understand the true teachings and was unaware of the great Dao."

"This disciple bows in gratitude to the Emperor for imparting the true scriptures."

Donghua: "That's alright. In the primordial world, all things and races have different origins and backgrounds. There are also many kinds of dragons."

"Above are the Ancestral Dragon, Azure Dragon, Yinglong, Zhulong, and others; below are the Dragon Gates, through which countless sea creatures can enter and transform into dragons."

"Your ancestor, the Huilong clan, was originally an ordinary water snake of the sea race. His perseverance in cultivation was unwavering, and he eventually leaped over the Dragon Gate to become a Hui. Afterwards, he continued to cultivate with unwavering determination and eventually achieved the Emperor Realm."

"The First Emperor believed that he was wise in appearance but foolish in reality and had great perseverance in cultivation. He accepted Hui as a member of the Dragon Clan, and from then on he was also called Huilong. Huilong served under Yinglong and eventually died in the war between the three clans."

At this point, Donghua paused, feeling sorry for this snake-turned-dragon.

"Huilong came from humble origins, yet he was able to achieve the status of an Emperor in that era, which is truly remarkable."

"Now that the Dao Ancestor Hongjun has spread his teachings throughout the world, you should cultivate even more diligently and go out to see the primordial world. This is also my expectation for you."

Qianyu: "This disciple will remember the Emperor's teachings and will never forget them."

He then added, "Actually, the Ancestor Huilong is my father. When I was young, he found the seed of Primal Heavy Water for me to cultivate, which is how I came to be who I am today."

Donghua nodded, not caring. Qianyu's previous identity was unimportant, because from now on she could only have one identity: Donghua Dijun's Great Protector.

Donghua then taught him the great supernatural powers of Qianyu Subduing Dragons and Tigers and the Great Divine Power of Making Things Come True, and also taught him the method of refining the body in the Purple Mansion.

Protectors are meant to fight.

……

"Your Majesty, the Grand Elder of our clan wishes to see you. Is that permissible?"

On this day, Jin Feng came to find Dong Hua and told him her purpose.

Donghua thought for a moment and nodded. He had been in the Phoenix Clan for many days, and it would be unreasonable if he didn't see the landlord.

Donghua then followed Jinfeng to a valley, where he met Yuan Jin, the current Grand Elder of the Phoenix Clan and also the patriarch of the Jinfeng Clan.

Donghua: "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Yuanjin. I have spent several years cultivating in the noble family, and I have troubled you greatly."

Yuan Jin then said, "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Taiwei. As the head of the male immortals, the Wood Duke of the Purple Mansion, we are overjoyed that you have graced our clan with your presence. How could we possibly be bothering you?"

After Yuan Jin finished speaking, he affectionately stroked Jin Feng and said, "Moreover, you saved my granddaughter, and I am deeply grateful. That's why I disturbed your rest and wanted to thank you in person."

"Haha, you flatter me. Jin Feng is a very talented girl, and she knows how to behave properly. I like her very much."

The two exchanged pleasantries upon meeting, followed by mutual flattery.

Even in the primordial world, human relationships and social customs still apply.
