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

Chapter 85 Donghua: Why don't you become the head of the male immortals?

Donghua showed Zhunti this military exercise in order to spread the power of part of the Zifu Sect, deterring some petty people from having any ideas and avoiding some trouble, and also making the Wu and Yao clans think twice.

After all, Zhunti had more friends in the prehistoric world than Hongyun Daoren, so today's events will surely be spread far and wide.

After exchanging greetings, the two arrived at Jingyang Palace in the Purple Mansion!

Donghua took out his Wuyishan Da Hong Pao tea and brewed it for the two of them.

"Brother Zhunti, you have come from afar. May I ask what brings you here?"

Zhunti drank a cup of tea and exclaimed, "Fellow Daoist Taiwei is truly blessed to have such a divine tea. I am so envious!"

Donghua smiled but didn't say anything.

Zhunti continued, "I have come here with a request. I hope Fellow Daoist Taiwei will have mercy on the West and grant my request!"

"Fellow Daoist, you are really being unfair. You haven't even said what it is, how can I agree? Are you trying to make fun of me?"

Zhunti smiled awkwardly, not expecting that the usually proud Dongwanggong wouldn't buy into this, and then said:

"No, no, fellow Daoist should know that the ley lines of our Western land were completely destroyed during the war between immortals and demons. Now the land is sparsely populated, and the aptitude of the beings born is generally low."

"Therefore, I have come here today to seek your help, fellow Daoist. I hope you can assist me."

Donghua thought for a moment and realized that the destruction of the western earth veins could be attributed to Hongjun and the immortal path, which was why Jieyin and Zhunti were able to obtain sainthood.

After all, all cultivators in the world owed them a debt of karma, so how could they not repay it? Therefore, Hongjun gave the two of them a chance.

They were accepted as disciples and bestowed with the supreme treasure of the Heavenly Dao, the Primordial Purple Qi, to settle this karmic debt. As for whether they could eventually become saints, that depended on their fate and comprehension. After all, the food had already been fed into their mouths; if they didn't swallow it, no one could do anything about it.

"I wonder if there's anything I can do to help you two fellow cultivators?"

Zhunti said solemnly, "Back when we were at Zixiao Palace, the Dao Ancestor promised me that the West would have a day of great prosperity, but I don't know when that will be. But now the West is in dire need of improvement. We must improve the environment and stop the loss of spiritual energy, otherwise, let alone prosperity, there is a possibility that it will become a place without spiritual energy."

"I have heard that you possess the innate spiritual treasure, the Twelve-Petaled Pure White Lotus, so I am asking for your help to the West to dispel the evil spirits and demonic energy and save the Western land veins."

Donghua thought about it and realized that this was indeed a tricky matter. The Pure World White Lotus could help, but it would only be a drop in the ocean.

The root of the problem in the West lies in the fact that the earth's veins have been completely shattered. Even if the earth's evil spirits and demonic energy are cleared away, it will be of no use.

"I could indeed help with this, but it's no use. What do you think, my friend?"

Zhunti said, "Fellow Daoist is right. Although the Earthly Fiend Qi and Demonic Qi are difficult to resolve, Senior Brother Jieyin and I are confident that we can clear them up."

"However, while clearing away these evil energies, we came up with a way to resolve the issue of the earth's veins, which is why we came to ask for your help. With your Pure White Lotus, we can complete the cleansing much faster."

Donghua asked, "What method is it? You know, even our teacher shook his head and sighed when he learned about the Western ley lines back then."

After thinking for a moment, Zhunti finally said, "It is a kind of formation, or you could say, a law of the world."

"After we broke through to the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint, we comprehended a technique called the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, which can transform the illusory into the real. We intend to use this technique to establish a sacred mountain, and then gradually spread it throughout the entire West!"

"In this way, although it will take a long time, there is still hope of repairing the ley lines."

Donghua pondered the matter slowly, then said gently, "Using a point to drive the whole, do you two fellow Daoists intend to rebuild a new Western ley line?"

Zhunti nodded slowly.

I really admire Donghua's idea. Using a point to drive the whole is easy to say, but it's not a question of whether it's difficult or not in practice. You have to understand that it involves the entire Western continent.

These two people truly possess great perseverance and wisdom! They deserve to attain enlightenment and become saints.

After much thought, Donghua decided that this was a good thing to do. If he went to the Western Paradise, he could not only gain a favor, but also perhaps accumulate merit.

After all, repairing the Western Earth Veins is something that Heaven is happy to see. If you do well, Heaven will be moved and you will naturally receive merit.

Donghua sighed and said, "Brother Zhunti, I shouldn't have refused your personal visit, but the Wu and Yao clans are eyeing me covetously, and I simply cannot leave my Purple Mansion. Please forgive me!"

Upon hearing this, Zhunti actually believed it. After all, the current situation in the prehistoric world was obvious, and he became a little anxious. He quickly said, "Brother Taiwei, as the leader of the male immortals, you should have a compassionate heart to help the world. I hope you will have pity on the West and provide assistance!"

Donghua waved his hand and said, "Fellow Daoist, please don't mention the title of 'Head of Male Immortals' again. That title has ruined me. I only gained a little bit of luck, and I'm still being coveted by people every day."

"If that doesn't work, you can have this title. As your teacher's disciple, you are more than qualified to be the head of the male immortals."

Zhunti gave a bitter smile and hurriedly said, "Brother Dao, please don't tease me. I am the incarnation of Bodhi. How can I be the head of the male immortals? My position is unsuitable, and I will surely suffer calamity."

"If we can get your help from the West this time, it will surely be twice as effective with half the effort. It will also be of great benefit to you. May I ask what your conditions are?"

Donghua waved his hand and said bitterly, "Brother Zhunti, it's not that Taiwei is heartless in refusing, but that he really can't leave the Purple Mansion."

Zhunti pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Taiwei, how about this? You come with me to the West. If any enemies attack the Purple Mansion while you are there, Jieyin and I will certainly lend a hand. We are willing to obey your orders. What do you say?"

This condition is optional, because during this period, the demon race is unlikely to attack the Purple Mansion, and as for the witch race, they probably won't either, since they haven't even conquered the Primordial Continent yet, and the Purple Mansion is deep in the East Sea, so they should be fine.

"Since you've said so, it would be ungrateful of me to refuse. However, I have two requests."

"First, during the war between immortals and demons, you slew the Cursed Demon; I want his legacy!"

"Secondly, if I, Donghua, am ever able to attain enlightenment, fellow Daoist, you will need to offer me some support."

"Is this feasible?"

Zhunti thought for a moment. He didn't understand the first request, but that wasn't a problem. The second one was even less of a problem. If Donghua could attain enlightenment, and if he could protect him, he would owe him a huge favor after he attained enlightenment. So it was not impossible.

"Okay, I agree to both!"

Donghua laughed heartily: "Come, Brother Zhunti, have some tea, have some tea!"

After reaching an agreement, the two began to chat about everything under the sun, each offering their own perspectives.

……

After explaining the matters concerning the Purple Palace, Donghua followed Zhunti on his journey to the West.

Upon seeing the Western Continent again, the image of the great war between immortals and demons lingered in my mind. The Western Continent is still not much different from what it was back then.

Upon entering the Western Continent, it felt like stepping into a completely different world, and it was quite disorienting at first.

Nowadays, the spiritual energy in the West is scarce, the earth's veins are broken, and some places have directly formed dead zones where volcanic eruptions and magma erupt.

The great war between immortals and demons has been over for so long, yet the air is still filled with the murderous aura of that battle, and demonic energy still occasionally rages.

As far as the eye can see, all that can be seen is desolation!

Donghua sighed helplessly and followed Zhunti all the way to Mount Sumeru.

Mount Sumeru was once the sacred site of the demon ancestor Rahu. After the war between immortals and demons, it was transformed into the sacred site by the original Western being Jieyin Zhunti, who cultivated there.

Looking at Mount Sumeru from afar, it finally has the air of a celestial abode.

On Mount Sumeru, two colorful phoenixes sing; before the sheer cliffs, a lone qilin lies. From the peaks, the cry of a golden pheasant can be heard, and from the grottoes, the faint roar of a dragon can be heard.

Rare herbs and exotic flowers never fade, and evergreen pines and cypresses remain eternally green. Immortal peaches always bear fruit, and tall bamboos always retain the clouds.

Upon seeing this, Donghua couldn't help but sigh. These two were truly formidable. Their main battlefield was Mount Sumeru, yet they had ended up in this state.

Seeing the dragons, phoenixes, and unicorns on the mountain, along with the immortal flowers and spiritual trees, it seemed that these two were also frequent visitors to the East. However, Donghua didn't think it was anything special. If it were him, he would also go to the East to collect scrolls, and perhaps even more so.

Arriving at Mount Sumeru, the palaces here are unlike those in the East, but they have a unique charm and are already very similar to the Buddhist palace gates of later generations.

A precious pavilion and throne, the name of the sacred temple. The valley is empty, filled with the sounds of nature; the serene place exudes heavenly fragrance. Rain-kissed pines shade the high pavilion; verdant bamboos retain the clouds and protect the lecture hall.

"Fellow Daoist Zhunti, Mount Sumeru has a unique charm nowadays, which is truly rare."

The palace is covered with golden tiles, each adorned with phoenixes, and bright, patterned bricks, each covered with agate.

The entire area, stretching east to west, is filled with palaces of jewels and pearls; the north and south are adorned with exotic flowers and fruits, and numerous disciples are practicing Taoist magic and supernatural powers, cultivating in the twilight. The golden Western magic connects with the red and yellow sunset, a truly beautiful sight.

Zhunti smiled without saying a word, thinking that since the two of them were also disciples of the Dao Ancestor, it would be truly unacceptable if their Daoist temples were too poor.

Moreover, although it is impossible to change the entire geomantic network of the West, it is still possible to do so with just Mount Sumeru.

At this moment, the Daoist Master who was cultivating in the hall also came out, and the two sides exchanged greetings.

"Brother Jieyin, since our last parting at Zixiao Palace, you have remained as impressive as ever, and your cultivation has greatly improved!"

Jieyin had a bitter expression on his face, but he always had this expression, and Donghua was used to it. No matter who saw him, he always looked like he was suffering from a deep grudge.

Jieyin didn't joke with Donghua, but said directly, "Fellow Daoist Taiwei has come from afar. I am sorry for not welcoming you properly. Please come inside."

Donghua smiled helplessly and looked at Zhunti. He immediately felt that this fat man was quite pleasing to the eye. Although it was easy to suffer losses when dealing with him, he would definitely make you feel all smiles.

The three entered the hall, but there were no children or fairies inside. Compared to the magnificent exterior, the interior of the hall was extremely simple.

The hall was filled with rising smoke and a few prayer cushions, with the inscription "The Way of Heaven" inscribed in the center. There was nothing else, not even potted flowers.

Donghua entered the hall, and the three of them bowed gently to the words "Heavenly Way".

He then sat down on the prayer mat, and then...

And that was it. Donghua looked at the two of them, wondering if they wouldn't even be offered a cup of tea!

No way! No way!

As expected, Zhunti smiled without saying a word, while Jieyin immediately started talking about business.

Jieyin said, "I am deeply honored that Fellow Daoist Taiwei has come to our West this time, and on behalf of all the beings in the West, I thank you for coming."

"This is the world law that Zhunti and I have studied, which uses the illusory to become the real. I would appreciate your guidance, fellow Daoist."

Donghua took the jade slip, glanced at it, and the information inside entered his primordial spirit. The jade slip then turned into dust and disappeared.
