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

Chapter 72 The Seven Emperors of the Purple Mansion (Seeking Votes)

Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Donghua smiled and said, "My Purple Mansion is the place for immortal cultivation. The Dao Ancestor appointed me as the head of male immortals, and I should set an example."

"The path to immortality is divided into nine ranks, and we, the people of the Purple Mansion, should also be divided into nine ranks, enjoying the fortune, cultivation techniques, supernatural powers, and rare and precious materials of the Purple Mansion."

"Those at the ninth level are at the Dao Fruit realm, enjoying the rank of True Person; those at the eighth level are at the Mysterious Immortal realm, enjoying the rank of Mysterious Lord."

"Those of the seventh rank are in the realm of Spirit Immortals, enjoying the rank of Spirit Lord; those of the sixth rank are in the realm of True Immortals, enjoying the rank of Divine Lord."

"The fifth level is the Golden Immortal realm, enjoying the position of True Lord; the fourth level is the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, enjoying the position of Heavenly Lord."

"The third rank is the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, enjoying the position of Immortal Lord; the second rank is the Quasi-Saint realm, enjoying the position of Emperor."

"Only I and the Queen Mother of the West hold the highest rank, but those who make significant contributions to the Purple Palace may also enjoy the highest rank of Heavenly Venerable!"

After Donghua finished speaking, he glanced around and asked, "Do any of you have any objections?"

"We have no objection!"

Donghua smiled, took out his dragon-headed golden staff, and looked at the people in the hall. Wherever his eyes swept over them, everyone raised their heads and straightened their chests.

Finally, his gaze settled on the Grand Master of Fate, and he said, "Confer upon the Grand Master of Fate the title of Emperor Qinghua!"

The High Priest stepped out of his throne and proclaimed loudly, "Your subject obeys the decree."

"Feng Yunzhongjun as the Longevity Emperor!"

"May Haotian be appointed as the Jade Emperor!"

"May the Barefoot Immortal be bestowed the title of Crimson-Destined Emperor!"

"The Jade Pool is designated as a place to reject the Emperor!"

"He bestows upon Taiyuan the title of Emperor Taiyuan!"

"May the Junior Master of Fate be bestowed the title of Emperor Taihua!"

"This time, the Purple Palace has conferred titles upon the above seven emperors. Those whose cultivation is not up to standard will be given one Yuan of time. If they still cannot attain the Dao, their rank will be reduced by three levels of immortal lord."

"We obey your command and thank Your Majesty!"

Donghua gestured for him to stand up and said again, "The above seven emperors, with Qinghua Emperor as the head, will each have a session to oversee the Purple Palace and handle its daily affairs, starting with the Jade Emperor."

Haotian stepped forward, accepted the order, and bowed in gratitude!

"The three gods of fortune, prosperity, and longevity, along with seventy-two others including Randeng, are hereby appointed as Immortal Lords of the Purple Palace, enjoying the rank and status of Immortal Lords!"

The conferment of titles upon seventy-two Immortal Lords does not mean that the Purple Palace only has seventy-two Great Luo Golden Immortals. Rather, it means that these seventy-two individuals meet the conditions for conferment based on their qualifications, merits, and cultivation levels. The rest are either newly enlightened or have not yet made any contributions.

Names and titles should not be bestowed lightly; those whose virtue does not match should naturally not be granted titles!

"seal up……"

After the conferment of titles upon the immortals was completed, Donghua was about to leave the court when Taiyuan Emperor stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is known as the Eastern King of the Purple Palace and the Eastern Emperor. However, now that we have been conferred the title of Emperor, it is inappropriate for Your Majesty to continue to call yourself the Eastern Emperor. I request Your Majesty to establish a new title."

Everyone in the hall had already seen through this and was preparing to speak up, but unexpectedly, the old man beat them to it again. They had no choice but to request Donghua to re-establish the title and confirm the honorific title!

Donghua thought for a moment and agreed. Everyone else had become emperors, so it would be inappropriate for him to remain an emperor. He then said, "Then let's change one word. We'll call you Donghua Shangdi, Taiwei Chunyang Shangdi Wushi Tianzun!"

"Your humble servants pay homage to the Eastern Supreme God, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable!"

……

After the last reform of the feudal system, the Purple Mansion seemed to have been revitalized. They were even more excited than when Donghua led the people to counterattack the Demon Clan. From Quasi-Saints to Dao Fruit Realm cultivators, everyone was full of hope.

They began to enter the Thirty-Five Departments.

The newly formed four departments and thirty-five offices have expanded their staff and are recruiting people every day in all sorts of ways. Some small clans are even fighting each other for the position of deputy chief of destiny. The fighting department has even established its own world where people fight, and whoever wins gets to join the fighting department.

Some people even complained to Donghua, but he ignored them all and left it to Haotian to handle. After handing over his daily affairs, the Grand Master of Fate, Qinghua Emperor, went into seclusion to break through to the Quasi-Saint realm.

After establishing the Thunder Department, Emperor Yun Zhongjun, the Long-lived Emperor, also relinquished control of it, handing it over to his deputy, Randeng, and then went into seclusion to cultivate and break through to the Quasi-Saint realm!

Speaking of Randeng, Donghua couldn't understand why he joined the Thunder Department. This guy didn't specialize in thunder magic, but was determined to join the Thunder Department. The key point was that Yunzhongjun and Randeng hit it off and were very happy for him to join, making him the second-in-command of the Thunder Department!

That's truly unbelievable!

Yun Zhongjun is known as the Thunder God, Cloud God, and Water God of the Clouds. Despite his usual nonchalant demeanor, if his breakthrough goes smoothly this time, he will definitely be ranked second in the Purple Mansion in terms of combat power.

This guy has mastered three major paths, and has already cultivated each one to the peak of the Great Luo realm.

Randeng's reputation in later generations is indeed not good, but to be honest, Donghua still admires him very much and admires his heart for the Dao. As one of the three thousand guests of Zixiao Palace, he said he would become Yuanshi's disciple and he did so!

Finally, he felt that the Chan sect was not suitable for him, so he switched to the West without hesitation.

But what he ultimately achieved is absolutely convincing. He was a Buddha of the past in Buddhism, who cultivated the path of Nirvana and was a true quasi-saint!

Originally, based on the time he joined the Purple Mansion and his cultivation level, Randeng was definitely not qualified to become a Purple Mansion Immortal Lord. However, since he had the title of guest of the Purple Cloud Palace, even if he had only listened to the Dao once, he was still a guest of the Purple Cloud Palace.

Based on this identity alone, he is absolutely qualified to become the Purple Mansion Immortal Lord, and all three thousand guests of the Purple Cloud Palace are blessed with good fortune.

Just like Zhulong doesn't even have a single top-tier innate spiritual treasure, but Randeng does, with the Coffin Palace Lamp, one of the four great spiritual lamps, being his companion spiritual treasure, and he also possesses the superior innate spiritual treasure, the Qiankun Ruler!

"Hmm, the Qiankun Ruler?"

Thinking of this, Donghua remembered something else: the Qiankun Ruler and the Dinghai Divine Pearl, aren't they a perfect match?

If one can combine these two and cultivate the Twenty-Four Heavens, one will definitely become a Quasi-Saint, or at least a Quasi-Saint with magical power.

Donghua felt there was much to be done about this matter. Although the Twenty-Four Heavens were of little use to him, his Purple Mansion World contained One Hundred and Eight Heavens.

However, being able to cultivate the Twenty-Four Heavens is an improvement in strength for anyone in the Purple Mansion.

Moreover, if Ran Deng is used properly, he will definitely be a great weapon. He is single-minded about the Great Dao, but he is also very shrewd and adept at judging situations. He is also shameless and has the demeanor of Dao Lord Zhunti.

Just as he was deep in thought, Haotian led six people in. Donghua took one look and saw that they were the Six Star Lords of the Southern Dipper of the Star Domain.

After exchanging greetings, both parties explained their purpose.

"You say it was Doumu Yuanjun who sent you to the Purple Mansion to submit to me?"

"Reporting to the Eastern King, it was the Primordial Sovereign who instructed the six of us to act as cowards and come to pledge our allegiance to His Majesty!"

Donghua thought for a moment and asked, "Could it be that the Heavenly Court's recent actions are intended to attack your star field?"

"We are unaware of this, but the Primordial Sovereign, through astrological calculations, declared that the star field is fraught with danger, and that the Southern Dipper governs life. He decreed that we be preserved as seeds of the star field, and we humbly request Your Majesty's acceptance!"

Donghua was really hesitant this time. He didn't know why Doumu Yuanjun had chosen him. At the last Peach Banquet, the two of them didn't have much interaction. Why would she entrust the Star Domain Seed to him now?

Seeing Donghua's hesitation, the Six Star Lords of the Southern Dipper immediately took out an object, which was a world, within which a towering tree was being nurtured!

"Jianmu?"

Haotian exclaimed in surprise, "How is this possible?"
