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

Chapter 98 Proving the Dao? Contending for the Dao!

The two stood atop the cliff, overlooking the three islands and ten continents.

"Brother, I saw you spacing out just now, I wonder what you were thinking about?"

Donghua didn't answer, but thought for a moment and asked, "What do you think will become of our Purple Mansion from now on?"

Upon hearing this question, Taihua asked in confusion, "Why does elder brother ask such a question?"

"Hasn't my brother already decided on the path to the Purple Mansion? To establish a moral compass for Heaven and Earth, and to contribute to the primordial world!"

This statement was actually proposed by Donghua himself!

But at this moment, he was completely shaken, and kept muttering:

"To establish a moral compass for heaven and earth, and to contribute to the primordial world."

"To establish a moral compass for heaven and earth, and to contribute to the primordial world."

……

"This is my way, this is my way!"

Donghua roared loudly, his voice echoing across the three islands and ten continents, startling all those who were cultivating. They all focused their attention on the suspended peak, wanting to see what had happened.

Shao Siming was at a loss and asked anxiously, "Brother, what's wrong?"

Donghua laughed and said, "It's nothing, I just achieved enlightenment. Go and reassure everyone in the Purple Mansion."

Although Shao Siming was puzzled and couldn't understand it, she still accepted the order and took her leave. Before leaving, she looked at Donghua one last time, her eyes full of unease, and finally flew away from the peak.

Donghua's joy at this moment was beyond words; the feeling of clarity regarding the path of the Great Dao was truly indescribable.

"I've been saying this all along, but it turns out this is the true path I've been following!"

Perhaps these are the words spoken subconsciously, the words that truly express one's thoughts.

As Donghua came to understand his own Dao heart, the various Great Daos within his body began to circulate and operate on their own.

Pure Yang Avenue, Primordial Yang Avenue, Heavenly Tribulation Avenue, Transaction Avenue, Purification Avenue, Five Elements Avenue, Yin Yang Avenue, and so on, as well as the Six Harmonies of Heaven and Earth, which has not been broken through for a long time.

At this moment, all these Great Daos emerged, each operating independently, without infringing upon each other, yet closely integrated together. At the heart of all this was Donghua's Dao Heart.

At this moment, the world within his body has changed dramatically. Boundless spiritual energy from heaven and earth surges into his body, and the 108 heavens of the Purple Mansion, which contain great magical power, are expanding wildly, absorbing innate spiritual energy.

The Pure Yang True Body is also absorbing innate spiritual energy and is undergoing some kind of transformation.

The speed at which spiritual energy was absorbed and exhaled was getting faster and faster, and the conversion of spiritual energy in the Three Islands and Ten Continents could no longer keep up with the speed of Donghua's cultivation.

The next moment, the power of merit within the Purple Mansion World began to circulate, transforming into pure merit spiritual power to fill the void.

What pleased Donghua the most was that the Great Dao within his body was gradually becoming unified, and this unification was not simply the fusion of the Great Dao together.

Rather, it is a situation where the Great Daos are intertwined, with each containing the other. A casual attack can be the Pure Yang Great Dao, the Five Elements Great Dao, or any other Great Dao!

With this sudden change in the Great Dao, the top-tier innate spiritual treasure, the Dragon Head Golden Staff, manifested, and the boundless fortune of the Purple Mansion merged into the body, revealing a golden Great Dao.

Upon its appearance, it suppressed all other Great Daos within the body, tightly binding them together.

After combining all the Great Daos, it finally dissipated, merging into other Great Daos within the body, into magical power, and into the primordial spirit, until it vanished without a trace.

Donghua tried to find this Great Dao, but could not find it again. Puzzled, he clenched his fist and launched an attack, and that Great Dao reappeared.

But it has changed again, transforming into any one of them.

"What kind of path is this?"

Faced with this sudden situation, Donghua was a little confused. He really couldn't understand what this Great Dao was, which could suppress the other Great Daos that were also integrated into his entirety.

It is the Great Dao, the Primordial Spirit, and also great magical power and physical body; he really couldn't understand it.

How could it be that I, a quasi-saint, am unable to fully control my own Dao and body?

Donghua tried and searched in every way, but to no avail. It was as if that Dao had disappeared, yet it truly existed within him.

I really can't understand it!

"It seems I haven't truly grasped this path yet. If I had, things wouldn't be like this!"

He calmed himself down and carefully tried to understand the feeling when the path appeared. As his understanding deepened, he felt that the path was becoming more and more familiar.

"The Emperor's Path of Fortune!"

Donghua found it hard to believe. The imperial destiny within him, which he had originally stopped cultivating, had unexpectedly surged to such an extent, and now it had completely dissipated.

It cannot be said that it has dissipated, but rather that it has been integrated. The Emperor's Path of Fortune is gone, but it has been integrated into every Great Path. Every Path has the presence of the Emperor's Path, or you could say that every Path is the Emperor's Path of Fortune.

"Is that even possible? Does that mean I'm starting to cultivate the Emperor's Path all over again?"

Looking at the dragon-headed golden staff in his hand, Donghua fell into deep thought, wondering if his fate had changed.

"To prove the Dao, to contend for the Dao—the Great Dao is about contention, and there's nothing wrong with that. But my heart tells me I truly don't want to be the Heavenly Emperor. Why then can the Imperial Dao operate on its own? Is this my destiny?"

As soon as such a thought came to mind, Donghua immediately dismissed it, and his gaze hardened.

"I do not believe in fate. I am a Primordial Golden Immortal, free to roam the river of time and space, accompanied by the river of destiny, and roam the world at my leisure. How can fate possibly favor me!"

The river of destiny has begun!

Donghua stepped into the river of destiny, where various destinies intersected, desires and obsessions merged together, forming unique destinies. Even a single thought could create a virtual world.

This is the river of fate!

Thoughts shape destiny, actions shape fate; cause and effect are intertwined, and the great Dao converges!

Donghua strolls along the river of destiny, the Great Dao converges within him, allowing the river to wash over him, entangle him with cause and effect, bewilder him with desire, and obsession with obstruction.

But none of this could stop him from moving forward!

At this moment, his Dao heart was pure and his courage unparalleled. He did not believe in his own destiny and wanted to go to the other side of the river of destiny to see.

As Donghua progresses, the scouring force of the River of Fate grows stronger, and even a single wave can knock Donghua back several steps.

But he was still unwilling to give up, and he pushed the Great Dao within his body to its limit to resist the obstruction of the River of Fate.

Advance! Repel! Advance! Repel!

He was unwilling to accept that his fate would remain the same as the original owner's.

The sudden appearance of the Emperor's Path of Fortune made him uneasy. He didn't know if it was fate's choice or his own fault.

But he wanted to find an answer!

In the long river of destiny, magical power is not visible, only the Dao exists. Every step forward is a test of one's understanding of the Dao.

Donghua struggled forward, unaware of how much he had advanced or retreated, only knowing that he had to keep going.

The power of the Great Dao within his body had reached its limit, with the vast and boundless Pure Yang Great Dao surrounding him, accompanied by other Great Dao powers.

But at this moment, these great paths could no longer allow him to continue forward. The river of fate was becoming increasingly turbulent, and within each wave lay his own desires and obsessions, as well as various entanglements of cause and effect.

His path could no longer suppress these waves, which meant that he could no longer move forward.

"Should we just give up like this?"

But he was truly unwilling to accept it. He had been here for so long, wasn't everything he did just to survive?

But if I remain the same as the original body, then what is the point of my efforts?

Moreover, as a Primordial Golden Immortal, wouldn't it be a joke if I couldn't control my own Great Dao?

Therefore, no matter how this imperial destiny came about, he must control it. Even if he cultivates the imperial path in the future, it must be because he is willing to cultivate it.

Instead of focusing on one's own spiritual practice!
