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

Chapter 88 Opening a New Path, the Autonomous Hongjun

After chatting for a while, the group began to deduce how to sort out the earth's veins, extract the evil energy, and repair the earth's veins. After all, what Donghua had said before was just a concept and an idea. To put it into action, they needed concrete methods.

Through continuous deduction, a feasible plan was finally devised, and the group opened their eyes simultaneously.

Zhunti exclaimed excitedly, "In that case, the great undertaking is accomplished!"

The group nodded in agreement, and Donghua said, "Then let's split up. Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi will use the Earth Book to weave a map of the West, with Fellow Daoist Houtu assisting."

"My fellow Daoist Hongyun and I will first eliminate the earthly and fire evil energies, and then we will invite fellow Daoists Zhunti and Yiyin to take up residence on Mount Sumeru to create and perfect the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss."

"Any further objections?"

The group nodded in agreement and then got to work.

Leaving aside the others, Donghua and Hongyun began to deal with the evil energy, one going east and the other west, and after finishing, they went south and north respectively.

Donghua traveled westward, his divine sense sweeping across all directions. Beneath his feet, twelve-petaled white lotuses of purification bloomed. He dealt with minor areas of malevolent energy along the way, ignoring some and eliminating others directly with the purifying light emanating from the white lotuses.

These minor places of malevolent energy are not Donghua's target. His main targets are the major places of malevolent energy on the road to the west, some of which are even absolute dead zones.

As Donghua was moving forward, a dark and sunless place appeared ahead, covering an area of ​​about ten thousand miles in circumference. The earthly evil energy and demonic energy combined and soared into the sky. The surrounding area was barren and desolate.

Donghua smiled slightly and stepped onto the white lotus to enter this forbidden land.

Upon entering, a fierce wind arose, accompanied by thunder and lightning. The wind was the wind of the earthly evil, and the lightning was the thunder of the heavenly demon. All of them attacked him, but the Pure World White Lotus blocked them all, preventing them from getting close.

After thinking for a moment, Donghua finally understood how this forbidden land had been formed.

If he wasn't mistaken, this should be the place where the Thunder Demon was killed, but he didn't know who did it.

Lei Mo was also a quasi-saint under the command of Demon Ancestor Luo Hou. He cultivated the Heavenly Demon Thunder and was an innate saint.

Donghua made a hand seal, and a gourd appeared in his hands. This was a spiritual treasure he had refined himself.

Its raw materials are some of the body parts of the ferocious beast Taotie after it exploded, plus some innate spiritual materials, and it is made into a high-grade acquired spiritual treasure. It has no other uses, one is to store a large space, and the other is to have a powerful devouring force.

The gourd flew in the air and immediately grew larger, displaying a powerful devouring force. Both the raging Earthly Fiend Dragon Tornado and the crimson Heavenly Demon Lightning were sucked into the gourd.

As the gourd absorbed more and more, this forbidden land began to shake, and malevolent energy from all directions swept in, impacting the white lotus.

Donghua ignored him and instead opened his divine eye, scanning a spot in the space where a figure was kneeling with a sword stuck in his chest.

This scene seemed unbelievable to him, because to truly kill a Great Luo Golden Immortal, one must destroy their primordial spirit, ruin their cultivation path, and shatter their physical body. Only then can one truly kill a Great Luo Golden Immortal, let alone one who was a Quasi-Saint.

The corpse before him should be Lei Mo, but why is his physical body still intact? Under the scrutiny of his divine eye, it showed no signs of life. Donghua exclaimed in astonishment:

"How is this possible?"

It should be understood that for a quasi-saint, even if the primordial spirit is destroyed and the Great Dao is ruined, as long as the physical body is still there, in a sense, this person has not died. However, this corpse is well preserved but has no vitality, which is simply impossible.

Without much thought, he immediately unleashed a pure yang divine lightning bolt, followed by pure yang divine light, launching attack after attack.

The physical body was becoming increasingly dilapidated, yet it still existed, but it also revealed a slight flaw. Donghua smiled, thinking to himself:

"Since you dare to play these tricks on me, then I'll play along."

Jingyang Zhong appeared out of thin air, transforming into the evil corpse Jingyang, wielding the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Ruler, each ruler carrying the power of the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang, and launched an attack.

If this foot of wood is struck solidly, whether you live or die, there won't even be a trace left.

Just as the powerful primordial energy of the Nine Heavens was about to strike its head, the corpse suddenly drew its spiritual sword from its chest and blocked the attack.

"Hongjun's disciples and their descendants are indeed despicable!"

Donghua stood on the lotus platform and laughed heartily: "Before saying that, please take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror. See what kind of person you are?"

The corpse sneered, "A sharp-tongued brat like you dare speak to this ancestor like that? You're truly courting death!"

Upon hearing this, Donghua lost interest in playing with this guy for a moment. This guy was probably a being born from a physical body after the Thunder Demon's fall.

"Kill him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the evil corpse Jingyang held the Yuanyang Ruler, and a bell rang out, striking without its own sound.

The corpse hesitated for a moment, and Jingyang sent it away with a single stroke, it couldn't have been easier.

It should have been this easy. If the evil corpse can't even handle this body, how can the Three Corpses Path attain enlightenment?

Just as the evil corpse was about to destroy the physical body, Donghua stopped it.

He intended to use this physical body for an experiment, so he handed the Pure White Lotus to the evil corpse Jingyang, instructing him to use the gourd to deal with the evil energy.

He then sat down cross-legged and took out the Hunyuan Cauldron, a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure that had not been used for a long time.

He unleashed the pure Yang true fire in his hand, placed the corpse into the cauldron, and began to refine it, occasionally adding some refining materials such as Shouyang copper and golden crystal divine iron.

After forty-nine days of refining, the ritual was finally completed!

The Hunyuan Cauldron opened, revealing a perfectly intact physical body, sparkling and translucent, its only flaw being the lack of consciousness.

Donghua thought for a moment and then used the magical power of manipulating creation that he had learned.

The ability to manipulate creation is both a divine power of creation and a great way of creation. It involves manipulating heaven and earth, and is profound in its ability to create, bringing something from nothing and turning death into life.

I can't do that yet, but I can at least give it some basic intelligence.

Under the radiant light of creation, this physical body finally began to change; its eyes began to clear, as if it were a complete living being.

"Greetings, Master!"

Donghua did not respond, but instead examined the puppet, which could be considered a puppet for now.

Their physical bodies are strong, comparable to some weaker quasi-saints, but their intelligence is not high, possessing only ordinary spirituality. They do not know supernatural powers or magic, only physical combat techniques.

"Could this be considered as creating a new method of cultivation?"

"Teacher, teacher, would you say I've created a new method of cultivation? Would you like to give me a reward?"

Donghua started shouting, but there was no response for a long time.

"Does this puppetry not count as a method of cultivation? Should I then collect more dead bodies to practice on, compile a scripture, and widely spread the path of immortality before I can be considered to have created a new path?"

At this moment, a wisp of primordial yellow merit energy suddenly descended from the sky. It was minuscule and very little, but it was still a small amount.

Donghua put away the merit, muttering, "Teacher, you're so stingy. I at least created a branch of immortality, and you only give me this little? I..."

Before he could finish speaking, three bolts of purple lightning descended from the sky. He tried to dodge, but found himself completely unable to move or summon any magical treasures. He could only watch helplessly as the three bolts of purple lightning struck him.

"Ouch, that fucking hurts!"

After the divine lightning struck, Donghua was finally able to move.

Three bolts of Purple Heaven Divine Lightning struck: one attacked the physical body, one attacked the primordial spirit, and the third, though causing no harm, transmitted a few words:

"Puppetry is tolerable, but if you dare to use the bodies of innate saints and living beings for your refinement, I'll skin you alive!"

Donghua was stunned for a moment. It was obvious that Hongjun was behind this incident, but what he didn't expect was that Hongjun had such a high degree of autonomy!

After all, Hongjun had already merged with the Dao. After merging with the Dao, he was no longer a living being, but a kind of Dao, a part of the Heavenly Dao. It was normal for him to have no emotions or feelings of joy, anger, sorrow and happiness.

It now appears that Hongjun still possessed a certain degree of autonomy after merging with the Dao, but not a high one; otherwise, he wouldn't have used the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder to transmit his message.

Donghua didn't think much more about it. After bowing slightly, he put away the puppet he had created.

He began dealing with the malevolent energy. After finishing this space, he made a mark and moved on to the next location.

This experience keeps repeating itself!

The evil corpse Jingyang headed north, so it would be faster to deal with it separately.

In dealing with evil energy later, Donghua never encountered a situation like the Thunder Demon again, but he did witness various dangerous places.

One of the places is a deadly trap, so densely filled with malevolent energy that even a Great Luo Golden Immortal would likely perish if he entered.

Of course, the Western Continent is only lacking in spiritual energy, but it is not entirely desolate. Many living beings still survive there, and places like these places filled with malevolent energy are, after all, a minority.

……

When Donghua arrived at the westernmost point, he had finally completed his task of clearing away the evil energy, and the geographical markers along the way were also completely finished.

Then return to Mount Sumeru!

At this time, the others on Mount Sumeru had not yet returned. Only Jieyin and Zhunti were on the mountain creating the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, but it was almost over.

The guide's eyes were slightly closed, as if he were asleep, but his body was surrounded by spiritual light and the laws of the Great Dao. With each breath, small specks of light appeared in the Blissful World.

Don't underestimate these tiny points of light; they represent a virtual miniature world.

A mysterious Daoist aura circulated around Zhunti, and wherever the Daoist principles passed, the points of light seemed to become real again. Peaceful immortal light filled this world, making people feel mesmerized and wanting to be immersed in it.

"These eight hundred unorthodox Western methods are truly wicked, resembling gods, immortals, and demons, yet they form a separate system, truly extraordinary. Moreover, the two of them already possess a foundation for their future Buddhist and Taoist cultivation."

Donghua couldn't help but sigh, "These people who possess Primordial Purple Qi are truly amazing. They may not be the strongest in terms of combat power, but when it comes to their understanding of the Dao, they are definitely among the strongest."

"Moreover, looking at the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss today, it is indeed not without reason that Buddhism will be able to compete with Taoism in the future."

Donghua found an open space, sat quietly on a white lotus, and carefully examined how Jieyin and Zhunti were performing the great Western Dharma.

The two of them didn't hold back at all and were giving it their all. They weren't afraid that Donghua would steal their teachings. To be precise, they were actually hoping that Donghua would learn the Western teachings, since it was like a windfall!

Not long after, a red light flashed in the distance, and Daoist Hongyun arrived.

At a certain moment, Jieyin and Zhunti also withdrew their magical powers. The initial establishment of the Pure Land was complete, leaving only Zhenyuanzi and Houtu. ...
