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

Chapter 63 Empress Xihe (Seeking votes and subscriptions)

"The Great God of the Three Mountains, Bingling Gong, has arrived!"

"The Five Great Emperors have arrived!"

From a distance, Donghua saw that Bingling Gong was leading the way with his steps, followed by the Five Great Emperors.

The Three Mountains and Five Peaks represent a powerful force in the primordial world, comparable to the Purple Palace and the Western Kunlun Mountains.

Their leader is Bingling Gong, the Great God of the Three Mountains, who attained enlightenment in the ancient times. His Five Great Emperors are also quasi-saints, but they do not cultivate the immortal path, only the divine path. So why have they come here today?

Donghua did not inquire about the guests invited by the Queen Mother of the West, since the two were not yet Daoist partners, and even if they were, it would be inappropriate to interfere in such matters.

"The Heavenly Emperor, the Earthly Emperor, and the Water Emperor have arrived!"

"Lu Ya Daojun of Xikunlun has arrived!"

Xikunlun is very large. Near the east of Xikunlun is a place where various wandering immortals and ancient gods gather. However, Donghua is very puzzled about this person. He is unfamiliar with him in both his past and present lives and has many questions.

Lu Ya once said, "First there was Hongjun, then there was Heaven, and Lu Ya Daojun was even earlier."

Donghua understood the first part of the statement; it was correct. However, he wasn't sure whether the second part was boasting or true.

If this is true, it means that Lu Ya was born in the ancient times even earlier than Hongjun.

However, by the time of the Investiture of the Gods, he was still only a quasi-saint, and his cultivation was not that advanced.

Donghua was truly baffled!

"The Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi of Wuzhuang Temple has arrived!"

"The Crimson Cloud Daoist of Fire Cloud Cave has arrived!"

"Doumu Yuanjun and Wenchang Dijun have arrived!"

Upon hearing of their arrival, Donghua calculated with his fingers, got up and went to the outside of Xikunlun, where he happened to meet the people from Zifu, including Taiyuan Immortal Lord, Barefoot Immortal, Cloud Lord, Shao Siming, and Jin Feng and some other juniors!

Upon seeing Donghua, Shao Siming was very excited and quickly stepped forward, saying, "Brother, how are you?"

"Yes, all is well!"

Donghua glanced at everyone and said, "Your cultivation has all made great progress. Taiyuan and Chijiao have already broken through to the Quasi-Saint level, but your Dao Realm cultivation is still a bit lacking and you need to work harder. Yunzhongjun, you are quite patient. Among the people of the Purple Mansion, you will be the first to attain Dao!"

"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. We will certainly strive to cultivate ourselves and expand our Purple Palace!"

However, they couldn't help but keep their eyes fixed on Yun Zhongjun.

Although they are quasi-saints, they are only quasi-saints in terms of magical power, and they are still far from achieving enlightenment.

Since His Majesty has declared that Lord Yunzhong will be the first in the Purple Mansion to attain enlightenment, then he must be just one step away from it.

"Let's go inside!"

When Donghua entered, the guardian beast Kaiming Beast shook its nine heads and opened its nine mouths in unison: "The Eastern King Duke of Penglai Purple Palace, Emperor Donghua has arrived!"

Donghua remained outwardly calm as he strolled inside, inwardly thinking, "Good heavens, I need to create one that shouts like that too, it's really too..."

Donghua arrived at Yaochi and sat down in his seat. The seat to his left was empty, and Zhen Yuanzi was to his right.

"Brother Zhen Yuanzi, it's been so long! I've missed you dearly!"

"Hahaha, you, Taiwei! You promised to come to my Wanshou Mountain, but I haven't seen you anywhere. You said you missed me, but I think you're hopelessly addicted to Xikunlun!"

"Well, well, it seems you, Brother Zhen Yuanzi, are making fun of others now. That's rare indeed!"

"It's not that I, Zhen Yuanzi, am good at making fun of others, but that you, Taiwei, are too dishonest, deceiving me this time!"

"Haha, I apologize to you, fellow Daoist. I've been incredibly busy lately. Since our last parting, Donghua, moved by fate, has found a famous mountain, Shouyang Mountain, and established a Daoist temple on the continent. You are welcome to visit here in the future; I would be most pleased to welcome you!"

Zhen Yuanzi said, "Oh, I didn't expect that Brother Taiwei would actually establish a Daoist temple on Shouyang Mountain. That mountain range is indeed excellent, but it's a pity that much of it was destroyed in the war between the three races. Now that you have established a Daoist temple, it must have been restored. I congratulate you!"

"Haha, there's no need for congratulations, you should be celebrating together! Seeing you today, fellow Daoist, your cultivation must have greatly improved, and you must have even severed your corpse?"

Zhen Yuanzi stroked his beard and smiled, nodding slightly. Ever since he listened to the lecture at Zixiao Palace, he felt that he had gained new insights into the Earth Immortal Path he had created. After going into seclusion to cultivate, his Dao realm greatly improved, and he successfully severed his corpse.

While the two were chatting, the Three Pure Ones also arrived!

The Queen Mother of the West went to greet them. After exchanging pleasantries, she gestured for the Three Pure Ones to take their seats. Tongtian's seat was exactly to the left of Donghua.

In fact, the Queen Mother of the West had already appeared when the original Mother Mother arrived, and began to welcome everyone in, since everyone behind her was a quasi-saint.

After Tongtian took his seat, he chatted with Donghua, his words filled with dissatisfaction that Donghua had not fulfilled the thousand-year promise.

Originally, after parting ways at Zixiao Palace, the two made a promise that Donghua would go to Kunlun Mountain to retrieve the Zhuxian Sword within a thousand years. However, now that his Zhuxian Formation Diagram has been completed, Donghua is the only one who has not come to Kunlun Mountain.

Donghua then told Tongtian about the establishment of the Taoist temple and explained it to him. After he finished speaking, he glanced at Taishang out of the corner of his eye, but Taishang was completely unaware of it!

Following them were the Ancestral Witches Houtu and Xuanming from the Witch Court, who also took their seats! By now, almost everyone in the prehistoric world who had received an invitation had arrived, and Nuwa had already arrived in Xikunlun the day before the banquet.

The Queen Mother of the West and Nuwa are now like sisters, inseparable; anyone who didn't know better would think they were a couple.

The one from the West was the Daoist Zhunti, who said that Jieyin was in seclusion and could not come out for the time being.

So who's still missing?

Heaven!

Just as everyone was waiting, clouds rolled in the sky, and bursts of golden light fell. Heavenly generals at the Golden Immortal level cleared the way, and nine heavenly dragons pulled the throne down.

The arrival was none other than the Heavenly Empress Xihe, the Heavenly Consort Changxi, and the Heavenly Demon God—no, it should be the Demon Saint Bai Ze.

In the Heavenly Court, demon gods are Great Luo Golden Immortals, and demon saints are Quasi-Saints!

Xihe was leading a child by the hand. The child was covered in the true fire of the sun, which he could not control.

Compared to their last meeting at Zixiao Palace, Xihe has undergone a new transformation. When she met Donghua last time, she had a cold and noble demeanor.

Now, however, it possessed a different aura. Donghua thought for a moment and realized it was the radiance of motherhood, adding a touch of "hmm, the feeling of a young married woman!"

Xihe entered the main hall and saw that everyone was already seated. She quickly released the child she had signed and said, "Fellow immortals and fellow Daoists, I am late. I am truly sorry to have kept you all waiting!"

None of the people at the top answered, and some of those below who were about to speak quickly shut their mouths, afraid of saying the wrong thing.

Donghua quietly observed the people in Yaochi. All of them below were Great Luo Golden Immortals, and some were even Quasi-Saints.

Upon hearing Xihe's words, they all appeared restless, which shows the current prestige of the Heavenly Court.

As the hostess, the Queen Mother of the West also stood up and said, "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Xihe. Please take a seat."

Xihe nodded and said, "I'm so sorry, I had already left, but the children at home were being naughty and made me late!"

After speaking, she stepped forward and sat down, saying nothing more. The reason she was able to explain herself like this today was not because of the Queen Mother of the West, but because of the immortals in this palace.

Today, it can be said that all the prominent figures in the primordial world have come. She just doesn't want to make enemies of the Heavenly Court for no reason, not because she is truly afraid of the Queen Mother of the West.

Just after Xihe sat down, a pair of eyes kept glancing at the child beside her, the gaze subtle and unnoticed by anyone present.

Only Donghua caught a glimpse of the "young woman" out of the corner of his eye.

"Lu Ya?"

Donghua stopped looking and turned his gaze away, starting to chat with Zhen Yuanzi and Tongtian. After all, it was none of his business, so he decided to stay out of it.

Besides, it's a matter of the Heavenly Court, so let it be!
