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

Chapter 68 The Choice of Heaven (Please Subscribe)

While Taishang was fighting with the Immortal Slaughtering Sword, he saw Yuanshi take out the Pangu Banner and knew that today's trial formation should be stopped.

If the fight continues, they'll have to use their full strength. If things get really heated and they can't stop, that would be bad.

He then summoned the Exquisite Pagoda to suppress the Immortal-Slaying Sword, and then summoned the Taiji Diagram, which transformed into a golden bridge to briefly freeze the banner and two swords in mid-air.

"Second brother, third brother, please stop!"

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi and Tongtian withdrew their respective magical treasures, rose and came to Taishang's side, while Donghua, standing on a lotus platform, floated over.

"Today's test formation is complete. Third Brother's formation is truly extraordinary. Let's stop here. If we continue, we'll have to fight with all our might, which is not good, not good!"

After a moment's thought, the two nodded slightly: "What elder brother says makes sense!"

Tongtian then withdrew the Zhuxian Sword Formation, and the four of them stood on the nameless hill.

Tongtian said to Donghua, "Fellow Daoist Taiwei, why don't we go to Kunlun again and discuss the Dao?"

Donghua shook his head and said helplessly, "I appreciate your kindness, fellow Daoist, but now that my teacher has attained Dao, the dust has settled in the primordial world once again. The Wu and Yao races are eyeing us covetously, and all the ancient gods are unwilling to give up."

"I need to remain in my Purple Mansion to prevent any petty villains from making a move!"

The three Pure Ones nodded to each other, clearly understanding the current situation in the prehistoric world, though feeling somewhat helpless.

Tongtian didn't press the matter further, saying, "Since that's the case, I won't keep you any longer. After you return to your Purple Mansion, if any petty people dare to attack, you can send me a message, and I will certainly come to your aid!"

"This is the Immortal Execution Sword. Since I lost back then, I will grant you, fellow Daoist, a thousand years to study and comprehend it!"

Upon hearing Tongtian's words, Taishang and Yuanshi hesitated to speak, as they were about to say something.

Donghua shook his head in refusal, saying sincerely, "Brother Dao, what you said before was just a joke; how could you take it seriously!"

Tongtian was about to say something when Donghua interrupted him, saying first, "Brother Dao, please don't do this. The Zhuxian Sword is your treasure for self-defense. Now that the primordial world is in turmoil, how can I take it away?"

"Let bygones be bygones, and never mention it again!"

Tongtian had no choice but to drop the matter.

He initially intended to use the Tongtian Zhuxian Sword to comprehend the Great Dao contained within it and enhance the destructive power of his Pure Yang Dao.

But upon closer reflection now, it is indeed inappropriate. What can one comprehend in a thousand years? And how much improvement can one gain from such comprehension?

It's better to give up on it altogether and instead accept Tongtian's kindness in return, so that he'll remember it. If there's ever real danger in the future, how could Tongtian not help?

Besides, Tongtian's words just now did indeed indicate an intention to help the Purple Mansion, so what's wrong with being generous!

"My three fellow Daoists, these three copies are the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Divine Powers of Kunlun Mountain. After a while, I have finally completed compiling them. Please take a look!"

Donghua took out three golden books and handed them to the Three Pure Ones, who opened them and began to read them!

Before long, they had all finished reading.

The Supreme Lord said, "The preface is excellent, truly wonderful!"

Tongtian: "This is a divine power protecting the immortals; my disciples should cultivate it!"

Yuanshi said indignantly, "The collection of various supernatural powers is good, but why is Kunlun's 'Reversing Yin and Yang' ranked second, while Nuwa's 'Manipulating Creation' is ranked first?"

Donghua smiled, already having an answer to this question: "Brother Yuanshi, why are you in such a hurry? Why not practice all the supernatural powers listed here? If you still feel the ranking is wrong afterward, then it's not too late to discuss it!"

Before Yuanshi could ask another question, Tongtian said, "When my junior sister Nuwa gave her lecture last time, she talked about this supernatural power. My Kunlun supernatural power is indeed not as good as hers. As stated in the preface, manipulating creation has transcended the scope of supernatural power and is the Way of Creation!"

Upon hearing what the two had to say, Yuanshi put away the golden book, bowed slightly to Donghua, and asked no more questions.

Seeing this, Donghua thought, "Although Yuanshi is arrogant, he is still reasonable!"

After handing over the Golden Book of Divine Power, Donghua had nothing more to do in Kunlun. He bid farewell to the three of them and left the place, heading straight for Penglai Purple Mansion!

After Donghua left, Yuanshi said, "Third brother, Dongwanggong cultivates the path of the Emperor of Destiny. If he wants to attain enlightenment, he must compete with the Wu and Yao clans. Why didn't you discuss it with us before joining in so easily?"

Tongtian gazed calmly into the distance and slowly said, "Second brother, the Three Pure Ones are the Three Pure Ones, and Tongtian is Tongtian; the Three Pure Ones are Tongtian, but Tongtian is not the Three Pure Ones."

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi was angry and wanted to say something, but for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Taishang stared in the direction Donghua had left and slowly said, "Dongwanggong is different from before. He no longer focuses on cultivating the Emperor's Path of Destiny, but vaguely, it seems he is still cultivating. I can't understand it!"

Tongtian exclaimed in amazement, "Elder brother, you are truly remarkable! I have spent a long time with Taiwei and only then did I discover this matter. Elder brother, with your discerning eyes, you were able to see it. I am far inferior to you!"

This time, Yuanshi was truly stunned. In the past, he and his eldest brother always shared similar views, so why were they now similar to his third brother? And what were they talking about? He couldn't understand a word. He was about to ask a question:

"Brother..."

Taishang shook his whisk and said, "I don't understand the Dao of the Eastern King Duke, so you shouldn't ask. As for whether my third brother is involved..."

Taishang paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and said, "I also agree with what my third brother said. The Three Pure Ones are connected to Heaven, but those who are connected to Heaven are not the Three Pure Ones. My third brother has his own path to follow."

"But if anyone tries to bully my third brother, they'll have to ask my Tai Chi diagram if it will allow it!"

Yuanshi didn't press further, but nodded and said in a deep voice, "The Three Pure Ones are one. Anyone who bullies my third brother is bullying me, Yuanshi, and my Pangu Banner will not tolerate it!"

The three brothers stood on the nameless mountaintop, speechless for a long time!

That being said, there was a reason why these three brothers were able to survive in the perilous prehistoric world until they attained enlightenment.

Given their current unity and solidarity, who can harm them? Who dares to oppose them?

Just like the two brothers, Jieyin and Zhunti, in the West, the two brothers supported each other and went through many ups and downs, but in the end they attained enlightenment and became saints. They were truly extraordinary!

……

After leaving Kunlun, Donghua traveled all the way and finally came to the East China Sea again, back to his hometown. Seeing the rippling blue sea, to be honest, he felt a little apprehensive as he approached home.

However, Donghua did not go directly to the Three Islands, but instead went to the Dragon Palace of the East Sea.

He's a vengeful person; how could he forget that old bastard Zhulong betraying him? He's prepared a big gift for him!

Taiyi did it because he couldn't beat him. If he could, he would have gone to the Heavenly Court long ago to avenge his past grievances.

They went straight into the Crystal Palace without disturbing anyone. Inside, the Dragon King Ao Ming was discussing matters with the Turtle Prime Minister.

Donghua revealed himself and asked, "Where is Zhulong?"

The two quickly bowed, and Ao Ming replied, "Reporting to the Eastern King, the Ancestor Zhulong is currently cultivating in the ancestral land!"

"I have business with him. Don't make a scene; just take me there!"

Then, Donghua grabbed Ao Ming and disappeared from the main hall!
