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

Chapter 48 Phoenix Clan's Submission (Please continue reading, please vote!)

Donghua was unaware of the Phoenix Clan's plans, nor did he know how they deduced that he harbored ambitions for supremacy.

If he knew that the Phoenix Clan planned to help him fight for supremacy, he would probably leave without turning his head, as if to say, "I was trying to help you, and you're trying to harm me."

Donghua was not very willing to accept the Phoenix Clan's offer of allegiance for three reasons.

First, the Phoenix Clan is burdened by the karmic debts of heaven and earth. If they were to seek refuge in the Purple Mansion, it would inevitably damage the Purple Mansion's fortune, making it a losing proposition.

Secondly, the Phoenix Clan is located in the southern part of the prehistoric world, which is of no benefit to him. If the Witch and Demon Clans were to harbor murderous intentions towards him in the future, it would be of no use.

Third, the Phoenix Clan is not a small race. As the former overlord of heaven and earth, how will the Witch and Demon Clans think of its allegiance to Donghua? It is already powerful enough to attract attention. The Phoenix Clan's allegiance will only exacerbate the conflict between it and the Witch and Demon Clans.

Thinking of this, Donghua began to politely decline.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan Jin, I am deeply honored by the Phoenix Clan's allegiance. However, the Purple Mansion has become too powerful and is disliked by both the Witch and Demon Clans. It may face great calamity sooner or later. Your allegiance will only harm you. I cannot do that. It would be better for you to seek other opportunities."

Yuan Jin was very pleased with Dong Hua's honesty. Far from losing his desire to join the Phoenix Clan, he became even more convinced that the Phoenix Clan's choice was correct.

"Your Majesty the Eastern King, our Phoenix Clan once dared to contend for supremacy over the world, and we are not afraid of trouble. If the Witch and Demon Clans dare to attack the Purple Mansion, we will definitely take the lead and never drag the Purple Mansion down with us."

"We hope that His Majesty the Eastern King will have mercy and accept our Phoenix Clan."

Donghua felt a headache coming on. "Why are you so stubborn? Can't you understand what I'm saying? What about your pride? Are you just going to let you give up like this?"

Before he could say anything more, Yuan Jin took out two magical treasures.

"Your Majesty, these are the top-tier innate spiritual treasures used by the Phoenix Ancestor: the Nirvana Pearl containing the Phoenix True Fire, and the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Ruler. Please accept them with a smile."

Just as Donghua was about to refuse, he saw the ownerless Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Ruler fly straight towards him and stop in front of him. The Pure Yang Dao within his body was also cheering and surging, and the two resonated with each other from afar.

The Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Ruler emitted endless light and flew into his body, recognizing him as its master.

Donghua was dumbfounded. How could he refuse? How could he possibly refuse?

Even if he's thick-skinned, he wouldn't say no at this point.

This Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Ruler is a top-tier innate spiritual treasure, containing the Primordial Yang Great Dao, which is on par with his Pure Yang Great Dao.

When the two are in opposition, it is naturally impossible for two tigers to share one mountain; when they are integrated, they complement each other and can truly evolve the great way of Yang.

Donghua really found it hard to refuse. If the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Ruler could be combined with his Pure Yang Sword, it would truly be no less than a supreme innate treasure.

Even if they cannot merge, they can still make remarkable progress in comprehending the Great Dao of Primordial Yang through this experience.

"That hot-tempered old woman, Yuan Feng, has schemed her own death!!"

Donghua was extremely helpless, because the Nine Heavens Profound Yang Ruler was related to his own Great Dao, and even further, to his attainment of Dao.

He took the Nirvana Pearl and examined it. Although it was a top-tier innate spiritual treasure, it did not hold much allure for him.

The most important thing about spiritual treasures is that they suit your own needs, and enough is enough. He doesn't lack top-tier spiritual treasures right now.

Seeing Donghua accept the Nirvana Pearl, Yuan Jin smiled happily, then knelt on one knee and held up a large seal with both hands: "Your subject Yuan Jin pays respects to Your Majesty the Eastern King."

This large seal is called the Phoenix Seal. It is a spiritual treasure of the Phoenix Clan, crafted when Yuan Feng established the Phoenix Clan.

At the peak of the Phoenix Clan's power, this treasure was comparable to a top-tier spiritual treasure, and far surpassed it in practicality.

However, the Phoenix Seal of today is now entangled with karmic entanglements, and it no longer possesses the divine power it once had.

Donghua pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, accepting the Phoenix Clan is not impossible, but I have one condition."

"Although the Purple Mansion was created by me, Donghua, it is not my personal Purple Mansion. Once I agree, the fortune of the Purple Mansion will definitely flow south and merge into the Phoenix Clan."

"Therefore, your Phoenix Clan must provide a batch of rare and precious materials to compensate our Purple Mansion cultivators. I wonder if you can agree to this?"

Yuan Jin: "Our clan is willing. Everyone says the Dragon Clan has many treasures, but our Phoenix Clan is not lacking either, and we are willing to provide them!"

Donghua firmly believed this, otherwise he wouldn't have brought it up. You see, the three clans of Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin weren't defeated by anyone, but rather they failed in their struggle for supremacy and retreated on their own. Naturally, the rare and precious materials they collected back then were preserved intact.

Donghua took the Phoenix Seal, took out the Dragon Head Golden Staff representing the fortune of the Purple Mansion, and tapped it.

In an instant, the dragon and phoenix cried out together, the Qi of the Purple Palace flowed, the divine light of the Phoenix Seal was displayed, and the sound of the phoenix's cry resounded throughout the south.

Meanwhile, in the East China Sea, on Zifu Island.

The Grand Master of Fate, the Junior Master of Fate, the Lord of Clouds, and others all rose to their feet, sensing the fortune of the Purple Palace.

However, sensing the gradual decline in the Purple Mansion's fortune, several people could no longer remain seated.

"Great Master of Fate, what has happened? Why has the fortune of my Purple Mansion declined so much?"

"Great Master of Fate, has something happened to the Emperor?"

"The High Priest..."

……

The Grand Master of Fate ignored these messy questions and quietly sensed the Qi of the Purple Palace. However, the Qi was still declining, and when it dropped to half of its original value...

He could no longer sit still; he opened his eyes and began to think.

"Your Majesty, where are you? Please don't let anything happen to you."

A minor clan leader, unable to wait any longer, asked again, "Great Fate Master, has something happened to the Emperor? Otherwise, why would the fortune of our Purple Mansion have declined so much?"

The Grand Master of Fate glared at him without any emotion. The next moment, the Yin-Yang Furnace appeared in his hand, directly sucking the clamoring clan leader into it, and then, in front of everyone, he was refined to death!

Seeing this, everyone else shut up and dared not say a word.

Having done all this, the High Priestess acted as if nothing had happened, calmly saying:

"Lord of the Clouds, lead your soldiers and annihilate this tribe."

"At your command!"

Without asking any questions, Yun Zhongjun accepted the token and went to mobilize the soldiers of the Purple Mansion.

"Young Master of Fate, gather the thirty-five departments and seventy-two divine generals to patrol the three islands and ten continents. Anyone who dares to act rashly will be killed without mercy!"

"At your command!"

Taihua: "Grand Master of Fate, is it the Emperor...?"

Before Taihua could finish speaking, Da Siming stared at her, as if the previous clan leader would serve as a cautionary tale should she dare to utter those words.

Taihua remained silent; she knew that Da Siming truly dared to kill her.

The Grand Master of Fate has no one in her heart but the Emperor.

But at this moment, she was really worried about her brother and was about to turn around and go out when a voice came from above Jingyang Palace.

"Do not worry, I am borrowing the fortune of the Purple Mansion!"

Upon hearing this sound, the Grand Master of Fate and the Junior Master of Fate quickly arrived outside Jingyang Palace, and the others followed suit.

Above Jingyang Palace, Donghua's phantom appeared, sometimes visible and sometimes not.

"Why are you all here? Well, it's good that you're here. I'm currently using the fortune of the Purple Mansion. You all should cultivate diligently and await my return."

"We will obey Your Majesty's decree!" Everyone bowed and paid their respects.

Taihua hurriedly asked, "Brother, where are you?"

The illusory image of Donghua glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. You should cultivate diligently. If your cultivation hasn't improved when I return, I won't forgive you."

……

When Donghua, who was in Tiannan, saw that half of the Purple Mansion's fortune had been lost, he stopped and handed over the Phoenix Seal.

"Are you satisfied with this?"

Yuan Jin respectfully accepted the Phoenix Seal. At this moment, her eyes were already brimming with tears, and she could no longer contain her joy.

Since the Phoenix Clan's defeat, the clan has never had so much fortune. Now, let alone breaking through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, even breaking through to the Quasi-Saint realm is not a problem.

Yuan Jin knelt down gratefully and bowed three times to Dong Hua.

Donghua then remembered that the changes in fortune would surely be felt by everyone in the Purple Mansion. He then stepped into the River of Time and Space, using the Jingyang Palace to manifest a phantom image.

That's why what just happened happened!
