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

Chapter 4 Immortal Cultivation

Jingyang Palace sits atop the azure sea, the place where Donghua cultivates.

In the primordial era, the places where people cultivated themselves were generally called cave dwellings. However, the caves here do not refer to actually digging a hole for cultivation, but rather to the caves of blessed lands and grottoes.

It's more accurate to call it a cave dwelling than a small world, a small world existing on the primordial continent.

Donghua released the Pure White Lotus and sat cross-legged upon it.

He wasn't practicing cultivation; he was contemplating and summarizing.

His predecessor left him a great fortune.

First are the innate spiritual treasures, totaling thirty-nine pieces, including three top-grade innate spiritual treasures, six high-grade innate spiritual treasures, twelve mid-grade innate spiritual treasures, and eighteen low-grade innate spiritual treasures.

Top-tier innate spiritual treasures: Dragon Head Golden Staff, Twelve-Petal Pure World White Lotus, and Pure Yang Sword.

The superior-grade innate spiritual treasures include the Purple Yang Bell and the Yin-Yang Furnace; the mid-grade innate spiritual treasures include the Pure Jade Seal; and the inferior-grade innate spiritual treasures include the Two-Element Mirror.

Whether they are innate or acquired spiritual treasures, they are divided into three levels: upper, middle, and lower. However, some spiritual treasures are also known as top-level spiritual treasures due to their special characteristics.

Among the representative examples are the Qiankun Cauldron, the Five Primordial Flags, and the Five Lotus Platforms.

Besides the innate spiritual treasures, the original owner also left behind the Fusang Tree, which was obtained at the cost of his life. To be precise, it should be the Fusang Tree with the Yang attribute.

But none of these are the most precious. The most precious thing should be the Purple Mansion Immortal Path created by the original owner.

The fact that Dongwanggong became the head of the male immortals was not due to any conspiracy by Hongjun. If he really wanted to destroy you, he wouldn't need to go through all that trouble; it would be a matter of a single finger.

Don't say anything about not being able to kill them. Even if it were the Three Pure Ones, Hongjun could still destroy them if he wanted to. If you don't even have this much ability, what are you doing cultivating to become an immortal or a saint?

During the era of ancient ferocious beasts and the era of the Primordial Dragon Han, countless innate saints perished.

The grand trend of the primordial world cannot be changed, but minor matters can be altered. To Donghua now, this statement is nothing but a joke.

Nothing in this world is permanent, and there is no one who cannot be killed.

To be precise, it can be summed up in one sentence:

"The primordial world does not allow such an awesome person to exist."

There are two reasons why Dongwanggong was able to become the head of the male immortals.

Firstly, Dongwanggong is the embodiment of Yang in the primordial world. Yin and Yang are the foundation of all things, and men are Yang. Therefore, if there is a position for the head of male immortals, Dongwanggong is the only choice.

Secondly, this identity was earned by Dongwanggong himself. The head of male immortals is not a position of heaven and earth, but merely a status within the immortal path.

Hongjun transmitted the Dao of Immortality, and Dongwanggong, based on his own cultivation, created the Purple Mansion Cultivation Path. He was the first person besides Hongjun to create a Dao of Immortality who could cultivate to the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Therefore, Dongwanggong was appointed by Hongjun as the head of the male immortals.

The reason why the Queen Mother of the West was named the head of the female immortals was simply because she was the embodiment of Yin in the primordial world.

Therefore, the titles of "Head of Male Immortals" and "Head of Female Immortals" may sound prestigious, but they are not actually any extraordinary statuses, just as Zhen Yuanzi was later called the Ancestor of Earth Immortals.

It is a symbol of status and honor.

However, if the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother were truly capable, they could transform this nominal title into a real one, and the position of head of the male immortals would naturally become the one that manages all the male immortals.

Ironically, the original Dongwanggong later had this idea, and rashly raised his banner to establish the Celestial Court.

In the end, they were destroyed by the Heavenly Court, but no one helped them, and there was no way to help them. Helping the Eastern King Duke would be helping him to dominate, and no one would easily step in. Moreover, once the Eastern King Duke succeeded, his status as the head of the male immortals would be confirmed.

The Queen Mother of the West was very clever; she always regarded being the head of the female immortals as a symbol of her status.

Naturally, everyone in the prehistoric world treated her with great respect, and even the saints who had become saints treated her with extra courtesy, regarding her as an honored guest.

Donghua had been thinking about how to survive these past few days, but he never expected that his trip outside today, when he heard Shao Siming's words, would be such a wake-up call.

It turns out that as long as you don't do stupid things, you won't die.

What's there to be afraid of? Let the music keep playing and the dancing continue!

In an instant, his Dao heart became clear, and he felt much more relaxed. Even the Purple Mansion Immortal Dao he was cultivating began to operate on its own. His internal magical power flowed like a vast ocean, and the laws he had mastered permeated his body, enveloping the entire Purple Mansion Continent.

Donghua began to circulate the Purple Mansion Immortal Dao technique, mobilizing his internal magical power and absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Currently, cultivation in the prehistoric world can be divided into five categories: Heaven, Earth, Human, God, and Ghost. These five categories are not realms, but rather positions or attainments.

The first realm of immortality is the Dao Fruit Realm.

It means attaining the status of an immortal. Attaining the status of a celestial immortal means becoming a celestial immortal, attaining the status of an earthly immortal means becoming an earthly immortal, and so on.

The second realm of immortals is the Mysterious Immortal Realm.

As the saying goes, "The mystery within mystery, the gateway to all wonders. The emptiness within emptiness, yet one law remains eternally present. To see the true nature of reality, one must directly enter these three gates." The mystery is the Dao, profound and unknowable, awe-inspiring and unseen, mysterious and unfathomable. It is the essence of cultivating the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the mysterious energy.

The third realm of immortals: the Spirit Immortal Realm.

The spirit refers to the essence of the Dao, the root of all things. It begins with comprehending the Dao, from which one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things, all of which possess spirit.

The fourth realm of immortals: the True Immortal Realm.

Those who attain the Dao become true immortals, where all things are transformed from emptiness to reality, and the fruits of the Dao are transformed from emptiness to reality.

The fifth realm of immortals: the Golden Immortal Realm.

Gold signifies immortality, imperishable by all trials, a flawless immortal body, the three flowers gathered at the top of the head, the five energies converging at the origin, transcending the three realms and outside the five elements.

The sixth realm of immortals: the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm.

The attainment of the Dao signifies the perfect completion of the laws. The Dao fruit and the laws converge into an indestructible true spirit. The true spirit is indestructible, and the true self is never forgotten.

The seventh realm of immortals: the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm.

"Great" signifies vastness and immeasurable scope; "Net" signifies encompassing and all-encompassing. The Great Net, boundless and all-encompassing, embraces all existence, stepping into the river of time and space, merging the past and present, eternally free and at ease across all time and space. It is also known as the Imperial Realm by all living beings in the primordial world.

The eighth realm of immortals: Quasi-Saint.

This realm is also known as the Primordial Golden Immortal Realm, the Primordial Beginning Realm, and the Great Primordial Realm. In the Divine Path, it is called the Primordial Beginning Realm; in the Demonic Path, it is called the Great Primordial Beginning Realm; and in the Immortal Path, it is called the Primordial Golden Immortal Realm. It is also referred to as the Ancestral Realm by all living beings in the prim

The single word "Ancestor" perfectly encapsulates the wonder and power of this realm!

However, since the emergence of sages in the world, they are generally referred to as quasi-sages, and those in this realm are also called great beings.

Those who reach this level transcend the river of time and space, step into the river of destiny, seek the future, and begin to take control of their own fate.

The ninth realm of immortals: Primordial Golden Immortal (Saint).

In the beginning of chaos, before Yin and Yang were separated, what was the Dao? The Dao is Hunyuan, which is the essence of the Dao. Hunyuan is all-encompassing and all-existing. Hunyuan is the principle, the Dao, and the great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

People in this realm have transcended the limitations of the river of time and space, and the river of fate. They are truly free and at ease, and their own time and space are their own words, which are their destiny.

This realm can also be called the realm of the Dao; I am the Dao.

A Primordial Golden Immortal is not a saint, but a saint is definitely a Primordial Golden Immortal.

The title of "sage" does not refer to a cultivation level, but rather to the realm of the Dao, a position attained in the primordial world. The Primordial Purple Qi bestowed upon the six sages by Hongjun is, in fact, the position of being born from the Heavenly Dao, acting as the representative of Heaven.

At this time, Donghua's cultivation level was at the initial stage of Quasi-Saint, and he had not yet severed his three corpses.

The method of severing the three corpses is a method of attaining enlightenment passed down by Hongjun. It can lead to cultivation to the level of a Primordial Golden Immortal or a Saint.

Cut off the three corpses of good, evil, and attachment. Cutting off the three corpses does not mean truly cutting off one's attachment to good and evil, but rather clinging to desires.

Human desires and obsessions are not limited to only these three types: good and evil. Rather, the concept of good and evil is a general category.

In the long river of destiny, one must find one's own obsessions and desires, sever the three corpses and entrust them to a spiritual treasure. Only in this way can one transcend the limitations of the long river of destiny, integrate one's own time and space destiny into one, and achieve the Primordial Dao Realm.

Therefore, it's not that you can only become a Quasi-Saint by severing your corpse, but rather that you can only sever your corpse if you become a Quasi-Saint. Otherwise, you won't even be able to find where the River of Destiny is, so how can you sever your corpse?

The severed three corpses are entrusted to a spiritual treasure. This spiritual treasure does not necessarily have to be an innate spiritual treasure. However, it is easier to entrust the three corpses to an innate spiritual treasure, and the future achievements will be higher.

The fact that the Three Corpses reside in the Spirit Treasure does not mean that the Spirit Treasure disappears or transforms into your Three Corpses clones, becoming sentient beings.

Lingbao is still the same Lingbao.

However, when you need it, Lingbao can also transform into the Three Corpses, just like a weapon with sentience.

At this moment, Donghua was immersed in cultivation.
