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

Chapter 58 The Four Divine Beasts (Seeking First Subscription)

If you were to ask what the most valuable thing in the primordial world was, probably no one could answer. But if you were to ask what the least valuable thing was, someone would definitely say it was time and lifespan.

Once a cultivator reaches the Golden Immortal realm, they can live as long as heaven and earth. "Gold" signifies immortality, which is the origin of the Golden Immortal title.

Time passed quickly, and the primordial world was unusually quiet. Neither the Heavenly Court of the Demon Clan nor the Earthly Court of the Witch Clan experienced any major events.

They simply established their own operating systems and issued various instructions, but these were all trivial matters that did not matter much. However, they made a contribution to the development of "people's livelihood" in the prehistoric world.

Both races seemed to be waiting for something, each accumulating strength.

Since Donghua established his Daoist temple on Shouyang Mountain, he has been refining the Falling Treasure Coin, the Heavenly Tribulation Banner, the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Ruler, and the Nirvana Pearl!

After obtaining these top-tier spiritual treasures, I never had time to refine them; I only left their imprints on them.

I finally emerged from seclusion today after refining my skills. I calculated the time and realized that the birthday of the Queen Mother of the West is very close.

Inside the cave, the Kongtong Seal continues to absorb the energy of heaven and earth, where all energies converge and quietly nurture.

Donghua walked out of the White Lotus Palace. In a field outside the palace, Gouchen was practicing his transformation magic.

Speaking of these magical transformations, one must mention the various supernatural abilities one acquired in the Purple Cloud Palace.

Donghua compiled this into two volumes: the first volume contains thirty-six kinds of Heavenly Divine Powers, and the second volume contains seventy-two kinds of Earthly Divine Powers.

These two supernatural powers appeared many eons earlier than their original appearance. In later generations, these two supernatural powers truly took shape and appeared during the Journey to the West period. Moreover, they were only supernatural powers of the Xuanmen (mysterious sect), and could also be said to be supernatural powers of Taoism.

The Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Divine Powers he compiled were actually divine powers of the immortal path.

The current Immortal Path, apart from some divine cultivators from the ancient times, almost encompasses all cultivators in the prehistoric world, including the eight hundred unorthodox paths created by Jieyin and Zhunti. Therefore, Buddhism in later generations also belongs to the Immortal Path.

The only corresponding paths to immortality are the demonic path and the divine path. There is no such thing as a Buddhist path. Moreover, this divine path is the ancient divine path, not the kind of divine path of the Heavenly Court in later generations. That kind of incense-burning divine path is also a kind of immortal path.

Therefore, Donghua's Heavenly Gang Great Divine Power also contains several Western divine powers, such as Zhunti's sixteen-foot golden body and Jieyin's Great Dream of Three Thousand.

Of course, there are also Zhen Yuanzi's "Hidden Universe in His Sleeve" and the Demon Master Kunpeng's "Kunpeng Devouring the Sky," etc.

It can be said that the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Divine Powers of this life are exceptionally luxurious, and absolutely worthy of being called the Divine Powers of Immortal Guardians.

The Earthly Fiends' supernatural powers include summoning wind and rain, shaking mountains and earth, riding mist and clouds, dividing rivers into land, radiating golden light across the land, turning rivers and seas, turning the ground into copper, whipping mountains and moving stones, and sending sand and stones flying; carrying mountains across the sea, and so on.

These are all selected from the Heavenly Divine Powers of the previous life, along with some divine powers provided by the three thousand guests of Zixiao Palace, totaling seventy-two minor divine powers, which can be considered quite luxurious.

In fact, compiling these supernatural abilities is quick, but arranging them in order of importance and ranking them is an extremely difficult task.

To write a preface, one must first cultivate and master these supernatural abilities, understand their underlying principles and limits, and then write the preface. This is not too difficult; it can be done by simply spending time on it.

The most difficult thing is the ranking of supernatural powers, which is also the most troublesome thing for Donghua.

Compiling the list of the Heavenly Stars and Earthly Fiends is certainly a matter of good fortune, but it also involves considerable trouble, the difficulty of which lies in the ranking itself.

Rankings involve saving face. If the rankings are substandard or unfair, then you're doomed; others will definitely hold a grudge against you.

Even if you rank them fairly and justly, none of these people will be convinced of their own abilities or think they are inferior to others.

That's why ranking took Donghua a lot of time.

Where is Gouchen?

Gou Chen immediately stopped his cultivation and ran over: "Boss, what are your orders?"

"Let's pack up, we're off to West Kunlun!"

"Yes, sir!"

Gouchen bowed and withdrew, preparing his travel items.

Donghua glanced at him. This guy was reliable in crucial moments, but it was a pity that he was a chatterbox on weekdays, and no amount of scolding could change his mind.

Before long, Gouchen had finished preparing and transformed into his true form. Donghua rode on his back and activated the Shouyang Mountain Formation before setting off.

A man and a beast journey to West Kunlun!

……

As the clouds drifted across the sky, a majestic sacred mountain appeared in Donghua's sight. White mist swirled around it, and spiritual energy lingered year-round. Rare herbs and flowers never faded, and green pines and cypresses remained evergreen. It was truly a blessed creation.

This is the Xikunlun Temple, the sacred site of the Queen Mother of the West.

Donghua rode the Gouchen horse all the way to the west of Xikunlun.

A powerful aura rose up and enveloped Donghua, eventually stopping three feet in front of him.

Then a giant beast with a human face and a tiger's body, and nine heads, soared into the air and came to a short distance away, looking over.

Upon seeing that the person before him was the Eastern Emperor of the Purple Mansion, he immediately revealed his human form and flew over.

"Xi Kunlun Kaiming pays homage to the Emperor!"

Upon seeing it, Donghua exclaimed, "Oh, it's the Enlightened Beast! Long time no see!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I have not seen Your Majesty's face since we parted ways in the West."

Donghua laughed heartily and said, "You've only been gone a few years, and you, the Enlightened Beast, can already say such things. You've improved!"

Kaiming chuckled innocently and scratched his head: "There's nothing I can do about it. The Empress ordered me to guard the West. With so many people coming and going, I've learned to say these kinds of things."

"That's not bad. Sister Taizhen's arrangement is very reasonable. If you hadn't tempered your mind, how could you have reached the peak of the Great Luo realm today?"

Kaiming said disappointedly, "I still hope that the Emperor can plead with the Empress to spare me this guard duty."

"You, you, you don't know how lucky you are!"

"The four of you were all ferocious beasts who, by chance, gained sentience and transformed into human form. Although you possess the physical strength of ferocious beasts, you do not comprehend the Great Dao and ultimately fall into inferiority."

"Now that you have cultivated to the level of Great Luo Golden Immortal, and can explore the wonders of the Immortal Path and the magnificence of Quasi-Saints, are you still not satisfied?"

The Western Kunlun region is home to four ancient ferocious beasts. These beasts, having been given a fortuitous opportunity, were transformed into human form and taken in by the Queen Mother of the West as her divine beasts. They possess formidable combat power and the physical strength of ferocious beasts.

The four divine beasts are Kaiming, who has a human face and a tiger body and nine heads, and now sits guarding the western part of Xikunlun.

Lu Wu, with a massive body, a human face and a tiger's body, and nine tails, is in charge of the defense of the southern part of Kunlun in the west.

With wings on its back, the body of a celestial horse, yet a human face, and tiger stripes all over its body, it is Yingzhao, the defender of the Eastern Kunlun.

Its entire body is pitch black, resembling a black dog, and its eyes are so long that they are almost invisible. It is Li Zhu, who is in charge of the defense of the northern part of Xikunlun.

Upon hearing Donghua's words, Kaiming smiled sheepishly. In truth, he understood that his current good fortune was truly a great blessing.

Of course, this good fortune came from the Queen Mother of the West, and he was very clear about this. The four brothers were extremely grateful to the Queen Mother of the West and obeyed her every command.

"Your Majesty, the Empress's birthday is approaching in the next few days, and Xikunlun is preparing a grand celebration. Therefore, the security is very tight. I apologize for any offense I may have caused earlier."

Donghua waved his hand and said, "It's alright. I already know about the birthday Peach Banquet. You all did a good job."

"You don't need to see me off; I will go on my own."

"I'm late this time, and I'm sure Taizhen will be angry. I don't want to let it affect you."

Upon hearing this, Kaiming swallowed back the words he was about to say about seeing her off. He was genuinely afraid of the Queen Mother of the West, and quickly replied, "Yes, yes, Your Majesty, please!"

Donghua rode Gouchen straight into the interior of Xikunlun!
