Primordial Era: I am Donghua, this Heavenly Emperor is too majestic.

Step into the Jade Pool Fairy Palace.

The Queen Mother of the West invited Donghua to take a seat, and immediately two or three female immortals lined up to offer them fine wines, celestial fruits, and spiritual flowers for the two of them to enjoy.

Donghua was a talkative person, and in no time he was chatting with the Queen Mother of the West.

He possessed the essence of Lesser Yang, while the Queen Mother of the West possessed the essence of Lesser Yin.

The two are one in heaven and one on earth, one yin and one yang, and are in perfect harmony from birth, making them the best partners for cultivation.

With their complementary strengths, the two quickly became familiar with each other.

In all things of the primordial era, the Great Dao comes first.

Once they were more or less familiar with each other, Donghua naturally asked to discuss the Dao, which the Queen Mother of the West readily accepted.

As the two of them each revealed their aura of the Great Dao.

The Lesser Yang Great Dao of Donghua and the Lesser Yin Great Dao of Taizhen, these two great laws intertwined in the main hall, each occupying a corner, with the great laws roaring and heavenly sounds resounding.

Countless insights into the laws of nature surfaced in their minds.

And as the discussion continued, the scene gradually underwent unexpected changes.

The Dao paths of Donghua and Xiwangmu merged together like water and milk, producing many wondrous chemical reactions.

Lesser Yin and Lesser Yang are the pivot of Yin and Yang.

Lesser Yang is the beginning of all things, and Lesser Yin is the end of all things.

Heaven and earth are divided into yin and yang, and all things in the world can be summarized as yin and yang, including even the three thousand great Daos.

Thunder is yang, lightning is yin;

Light is yang, darkness is yin;

Male is yang, female is yin.

……

Even the mutual generation and restraint among the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth) is undoubtedly a manifestation of Yin and Yang.

At this moment, as they discussed the Dao, Yin gave rise to Yang, and Yang gave rise to Yin, forming a huge Yin-Yang Taiji diagram above their heads, which was spinning rapidly.

In an instant, countless strange phenomena enveloped the Jade Pool, and all kinds of worlds in the universe rose and fell.

When the sun shines on all things, dew appears; when the insects awaken from their slumber, rain falls.

The moon shines on a thousand rivers, causing waves to surge; the earth bears the rivers and mountains, causing them to pulse.

……

This discourse has lasted for tens of thousands of years.

As the mysterious Daoist aura that permeated the palace finally dissipated, Donghua and Xiwangmu opened their eyes almost simultaneously, both feeling that they had gained a great deal.

Originally, it would have taken Donghua at least a dozen eons to break through to the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, but this Dao discussion greatly enhanced his understanding of the Lesser Yang Dao, thus shortening the time considerably.

According to his own estimation, he would probably be able to break through within the next one or two cycles.

This directly reduced the time by more than ten times!

But the greatest gain was not just that. He saw a path far broader than simply cultivating the Lesser Yang Dao during this discussion. Only by combining Yin and Yang could one attain the supreme Dao fruit.

It is believed that the Queen Mother of the West was the same.

In fact, just as he thought, the Queen Mother of the West, as a top female immortal in the primordial world, also saw this point.

Again.

This is all because their paths to enlightenment are in harmony, making them a match made in heaven for each other as a couple of cultivators.

Putting everything else aside, this single debate alone allowed the Queen Mother of the West's cultivation level to rise several levels in a short period of time.

Donghua laughed and said, "My Dao is indeed in harmony with that of Fellow Daoist Taizhen."

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother of the West nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and then parted her red lips to say, "I feel the same way. If you don't mind, you may stay in my Jade Pool for a few more days."

Donghua replied, "I could not have it."

He didn't say anything more. Although he intended to bring the Queen Mother of the West into his camp to prepare for the future establishment of a celestial court to fight against the demon race, this matter could not be rushed.

You know, which of the top female immortals in the primordial world doesn't have her own pride?

We are all born for the sake of the Great Way, and none of us are willing to easily depend on others.

He and the Queen Mother of the West have only just met. Even if their paths are aligned, if he is too eager for quick success and talks about seeking to conquer the world, it will only arouse her resentment, and then he will lose more than he gains.

After receiving the invitation from the Queen Mother of the West, Donghua naturally moved to Yaochi.

While comprehending the Great Dao, he also refined several treasures obtained from Wuyi Mountain.

At the same time, he and the Queen Mother of the West often practiced the Great Dao together and explored the principles of Yin and Yang. Over time, their cultivation improved more and more rapidly.

As they spent more and more time together, the initial awkwardness between them disappeared.

The days passed by.

One day, as Donghua and Xiwangmu were strolling together by the Heavenly Pool, enjoying the scenery and discussing the Dao, a streak of light suddenly rushed through the innate array covering the sky and landed in front of them.

As the light faded, one of the female fairies was revealed.

With a golden crown and red robes, and a jade belt around his waist, he was surrounded by a pure and ethereal aura, exuding a dignified air.

Judging from the aura emanating from him, he was also a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

After landing, the female immortal saw Donghua and was slightly taken aback, seemingly puzzled as to why there was an outsider present. Then, she looked at the Queen Mother of the West and asked, "Sister Taizhen, who is this?"

"Xuan Nu, you're still so impatient."

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother of the West smiled slightly before introducing the two parties: "This is Fellow Daoist Donghua, who is currently a guest at my Jade Pool."

Then she turned to Donghua and smiled, "Brother, this is Xuan Nu, my good friend."

"The Mysterious Woman?"

Upon hearing the Queen Mother of the West reveal the identity of the female immortal before him, Donghua was slightly startled, remembering that such a female immortal did indeed exist in the prehistoric world.

Xuan Nu, also known as Jiu Tian Xuan Nu or Jiu Tian Xuan Mu Tian Zun.

There are not many records about him in the ancient myths. Donghua only knows that he was later hailed as the god of military strategy and divination.

During the time of the Three Sovereigns of the human race, he granted the Yellow Emperor the Six Jia and Six Ren Military Talismans, which helped him defeat Chi You and others.

As for the rest, I don't know much about them.

As for the origins of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, Donghua knew even less.

However, those who can cultivate to the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal at this time must have a background of being an Innate Saint.

Seeing that Xuan Nu looked hurried, Dong Hua spoke up: "Judging from your expression, it seems you have something to say?"

"You were right, fellow Daoist."

Xuan Nu frowned and said, "I rushed here because I have something urgent to ask Sister Tai Zhen for help. Does Sister Tai Zhen know that there is an ancient demon cave near my dojo?"

Donghua asked in confusion, "A den of demons?"

The Queen Mother of the West explained, "Brother, you may not know this, but in the past, during the great calamity of the Dragon and Han dynasties, the three races of dragon, phoenix, and qilin fought for supremacy over heaven and earth, causing a bloodbath."

"Later, there came the Demon Ancestor Rahu, who led countless demons to slaughter the world, causing all living beings to weep blood."

"Although it was ultimately defeated, it still left behind countless demons that wreaked havoc on the prehistoric world."

"In order to cleanse themselves of the karma they carried, the three races led the Hundred Races of the Primordial World at the last moment to jointly suppress these demons, but in doing so, they left behind many seals."

"Near the Taoist temple where Xuan Nu resides, there is such a sealed place."
