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

Chapter 7 Purple Mansion Banquet

"It's a rare occasion for everyone to gather here today. How about we have a tea party and discuss things together?" Donghua said to the group.

"The Emperor has given his command, and none dare disobey," the crowd replied.

In fact, that's how it is for those who cultivate themselves; either they are in seclusion today, or they are in seclusion elsewhere, so it's very difficult for them to get together.

"Hey you, Xiao Si, go and prepare the spiritual fruits and spirit wine that I've been hoarding."

"And there are the dragons and phoenixes that were extinct years ago. I heard that dragon meat is good, and dragon liver is especially delicious. We should cook them properly."

"Arrange some more skilled dancers. Everyone's cultivation is hard-won, so it's time to relax," Donghua said to Shao Siming.

"(☉_☉)?" Shao Siming's eyes widened in disbelief.

Shao Siming exclaimed inwardly, "The Emperor actually calls her Xiao Si?"

"jump."

A head popped.

"What are you looking at? Have you no manners? Get up and go!"

Shao Siming stormed off in a huff.

Upon seeing this, everyone burst into laughter.

What he was really thinking was, "After all, they are the Emperor's direct descendants; I'll have to show them more respect from now on."

Donghua never imagined that his impulsive words would cause such a misunderstanding among everyone.

He then walked ahead, and the others followed, entering the side hall of Jingyang Palace together.

Jingyang Palace is where Donghua cultivates, and normally no one else can enter. So today, everyone can only enter the side hall.

Donghua was thinking that he should hold a meeting today to convey that he did not want to fight for supremacy in the prehistoric world, but only wanted to cultivate in peace.

So it doesn't matter if you lower your stance a little.

But holding a special meeting would seem too formal, and it's not appropriate to say it outright. If he did say it outright, he would lose all face, and everyone would look down on him when he travels the world.

But tea parties are different; things can be resolved while everyone eats and drinks.

It wasn't that Donghua was cowardly; it was that he truly couldn't defeat the Heavenly Court.

This was the most powerful time for the Heavenly Court, with the Heavenly Emperor Di Jun, the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, the Emperor Fu Xi, the Empress Nuwa, and the Demon Master Kun Peng.

These people are currently among the top beings in the primordial world.

Even the powerful twelve demon gods dared not test their strength, and instead consolidated their power, beginning to unite against the Heavenly Court.

He, Donghua, wouldn't dare say he could definitely win against any one of them, let alone five.

The Heavenly Emperor Di Jun possesses the top-tier innate spiritual treasure, the Hetu Luoshu. He is the founder of the demon race and a quasi-saint. He should not have severed his corpse yet, or perhaps he has severed one corpse.

Donghuang Taiyi possessed the innate treasure Chaos Bell and was at the Quasi-Saint realm. He had not severed his corpse. The original body fought with him and the result was a draw, or rather, he lost.

Now that the two are facing off, I definitely can't win; the innate treasure is no joke.

Fuxi, also known as the Green Emperor, possessed the top-tier innate spiritual treasures Fuxi Qin and Tiandi Ge.

Don't think that Fuxi only knows the art of calculation. His strength is not just talk. He is called the Azure Emperor for nothing. If you don't believe me, go ask him about his second spiritual treasure, the Heaven and Earth Halberd.

What's more, he has a younger sister.

Nuwa, also known as Nüxi, Empress, Wind Empress, Yin Empress, and many other titles, possessed numerous top-tier innate spiritual treasures, including the Mountain and River Map, the Qiankun Cauldron, the Nuwa Stone, the Demon Refining Pot, the Lotus Lantern, and the Red Embroidered Ball (originally the Red Sleeve Blade, a top-tier innate spiritual treasure, now a merit-based spiritual treasure, even more powerful than before).

She has an incredible number of magical treasures, all of them top-tier, including Five Elements Spiritual Pearls, Nine Heavens Breath Soil, and so on.

Donghua would rather fight warmongers like Taiyi and Tongtian than fight Nuwa. He would rather be an enemy of the Twelve Demon Gods than an enemy of Nuwa.

Do you think Nuwa, who cultivated the immortal path of creation, only knew how to create humans? Only how to mend the sky? Was she merely a supporting character?

That's completely wrong. Donghua will never forget that during the war between immortals and demons, Nuwa—no, back then she should be called Nuxi, the Empress.

Nuxi led several tribes surrounding Buzhou Mountain, the most famous of which were the Qingqiu Fox Clan and the Tengshe Clan, to resist the demons' attack at Buzhou Mountain.

All the tribes called Nüxi the Empress.

Dressed in red and carrying a red-sleeved sword, Nu hope fought her way from Buzhou Mountain to the Western Continent.

During the final battle between immortals and demons, Nu hope faced off alone against the Lord of Heavenly Demons, the Six Desires Heavenly Demon.

The Six Desires Heavenly Demon is at the Ancestral Realm, which is equivalent to a Quasi-Saint. Nu hope, however, is only at the peak of the God Emperor realm and has not yet entered the Ancestral Realm.

That fight made Donghua understand what it meant to fight beyond one's level, especially a fight between an Emperor Realm cultivator and an Ancestral Realm cultivator.

Nu hope held a red-sleeved knife in her right hand, the Qiankun Cauldron above her head, and the Nuwa Stone in her left.

In the end, they simply chopped the so-called Six Desires Demon, who was said to be indestructible and immortal, into six large pieces, put them into the Qiankun Cauldron, and refined them to death.

The frenzy of that battle stunned everyone at the time.

The most insane thing was that Nüxi used all her strength at the end, throwing out the Red Sleeve Blade and slashing the Demon Ancestor Rahu.

That single strike stunned everyone present and completely silenced them.

If it weren't for Hongjun, Yin Yang, and others holding Luo Hou back, Nuwa would probably be extinct from that one strike.

After Rahu transformed into a Daoist, Hongjun directly attained the Dao of the Primordial Golden Immortal on the spot. One can imagine what kind of strength Rahu, who was at the same level as him, possessed.

That was an existence that Hongjun, together with Yin Yang Ancestor, Five Elements Ancestor and others, had to be besiege. Even so, two of them died in the end.

Thinking of this, Donghua couldn't help but shiver.

"Nuwa, who cultivates immortality, is better; Nuxi, who cultivates divinity, is too terrifying."

As for the last Kunpeng, it was the only one Donghua was confident he could defeat, but he couldn't kill it either, as that guy's speed was unparalleled in the prehistoric world.

Moreover, when it comes to the most cunning and treacherous creatures of the primordial era, Kunpeng is definitely on the list.

"So Donghua isn't a coward, it's just that I love cultivation and I love quiet cultivation, and no one can stop me from doing so."

In the side hall, everyone began to report some work to Donghua. Some chatted with Donghua, while others asked him for solutions to their respective cultivation problems.

Donghua listened attentively to each of the work reports and affirmed their efforts.

Although he was just a low-level civil servant in his previous life, he still had some experience in how to be a leader. After all, which civil servant doesn't want to be a leader? Which civil servant hasn't heard official jargon?

Donghua responded warmly to the casual conversation.

Donghua answered all inquiries about cultivation methods with care and diligence.

During the conversation, Donghua also got to know his subordinates again.

"The Thirty-Five Masters of Fate and the Seventy-Two Divine Generals are Donghua's direct subordinates, each of them loyal to Donghua. Among them, the Grand Master of Fate has the highest cultivation, reaching the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm."

These people are not a big problem. They just need to follow Donghua's lead. Since he wants to cultivate in seclusion and not participate in the struggle for supremacy, these people will certainly not do so.

"The Barefoot Immortal represents the native creatures of the Three Islands and Ten Continents, and is also his own direct descendant. He has the cultivation of a peak Great Luo Golden Immortal, and is a kind-hearted person who loves to laugh."

According to his past life memories, this guy was still alive when he went on his journey to the West. He was clearly a promising candidate for cultivation, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

These island lords have been cultivating near the Three Islands and Ten Continents, relying on the Purple Mansion. Some are Great Luo Golden Immortals, and some are Taiyi Golden Immortals. These Golden Immortals are not a big problem.

The three gods of fortune, prosperity, and longevity from Penglai Island, with peak cultivation of Taiyi Golden Immortals, are representatives of those who cultivate in seclusion. They pose no threat at all and are good allies.

The other tribal chiefs who fled here also had varying levels of cultivation. These people did not join the Heavenly Court or the Twelve Demon Gods, and probably had no ambition to contend for supremacy.

Finally, only the ambitious faction represented by Immortal Lord Taiyuan remains. This is a tough nut to crack; we must make him give up his idea, or at least force him to leave.

In short:

"I, Donghua, enjoy cultivation and only wish to be a carefree emperor, not a heavenly emperor."
