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

Inside the Wuzhuang Temple.

Looking at the table laden with divine fruits and fine wines, Zhen Yuanzi exclaimed in astonishment, "What... what am I to do with all this?"

Hongyun, standing to the side, also looked flattered and said, "The gifts from you fellow Daoists are far too precious. How can Zhen Yuanzi and I possibly accept them?"

Donghua smiled faintly and said, "This is our heartfelt gift, and we hope that you two fellow Daoists will not refuse it."

Even so, Zhen Yuanzi still felt that he had gotten a good deal, so he used his golden mallet to knock down seven more ginseng fruits and insisted on using them to entertain everyone, which made him feel a little more at ease.

Seeing this, Donghua couldn't help but sigh.

This legendary ancestor of earth immortals, Zhenyuan Daxian, was actually an honest man.

The rest was much simpler.

The group sat in the main hall, enjoying immortal fruits, fine wine, discussing profound laws, and talking about supernatural powers. Before long, the atmosphere became lively. At this moment, Donghua took the opportunity to propose a discussion on the Dao.

Upon hearing this, everyone readily agreed, releasing their own Dao Fruit aura and beginning to expound and evolve their own Great Dao Laws.

The Lesser Yang Avenue of Donghua and the Lesser Yin Avenue of Xiwangmu need no further explanation.

Auspicious clouds appeared above the Xuan Nu's head, and flames surged around her, transforming into thousands of divine birds and weapons, clearly the Dao of Weapons and Fire that she cultivated.

Jin Hongshi is a deity of Mount Tai, whose main cultivation is the Great Dao of Earth;

Yun Zhongjun is a manifestation of Qingyun, but he mainly cultivates the two great laws of water and cloud.

However, things were different with Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun.

Zhen Yuanzi was born from the essence of the primordial Earth element. He also cultivated the Great Dao of Earth. With a wave of his hands, he condensed countless illusory mountain shadows using the laws of Earth. He possessed great virtue and could bear all things, yet he also secretly conformed to the principle of the flow of the earth's veins.

Donghua was not surprised by this.

Zhen Yuanzi's companion magic weapon is the Earth Book, which is formed from the membrane of the earth in the primordial world. The great laws he comprehended must also be related to the primordial earth veins.

Hongyun's main cultivation path is the Fiery Cloud Great Dao, a great Dao that takes fire, cloud, and wind as its main elements and incorporates numerous laws. At this moment, under its evolution, clouds and mist rise and the room shines brightly.

The scene of seven highly skilled individuals discussing the Dao together is truly rare throughout history.

As a result, countless strange phenomena arose throughout Longevity Mountain, with ten thousand golden flowers blooming from the void and the earth's dragon energy surging like rivers.

The originally formless and intangible laws of the Great Dao were now manifested in a tangible form, with strands of Dao patterns as dazzling as phoenix feathers, covering the void.

Furthermore, as the discussion progressed, the scene changed once again.

Donghua used the Shaoyang Great Dao to generate a massive amount of Jia wood essence, while Xiwangmu's side saw a surge of Geng metal energy.

The fire elemental essence of Xuan Nu and Hong Yun, and the earth elemental essence of Jin Hong Shi and Zhen Yuan Zi;

Finally, add the water-based essence cultivated by Yun Zhongjun—

In this way, all five elements are present.

The five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth immediately began to spontaneously evolve and interact in a way that generates and restrains each other.

The wood element of the East grows and transforms into a green dragon, bringing about the revival of all things;

The surging metal of the west transforms into a white tiger, bringing slaughter and devastation.

The southern fire is brilliant, transforming into the Vermilion Bird, its fiery energy boiling;

The Gui water in the north flows quietly, transforming into the Black Tortoise, which freezes and protects against the elements.

The final, heavy earth element transformed into a giant Qilin, which stood firmly in the center.

As the five different elements intertwined and surged, they unexpectedly evolved into a chaotic and blurry world, with the four elements of earth, water, wind, and fire churning endlessly and without limit.

In an instant.

Countless insights into the Great Dao, like a cascading Milky Way, surfaced in their minds.

This debate lasted for a full ten thousand years. When it ended, all seven people had broken through in their cultivation levels!

Originally, after Donghua listened to the Dao at Zixiao Palace, he was only one step away from breaking through.

Now, with this step, his cultivation level has directly reached the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

west Wangmu, Hongyun, and Zhen Yuanzi all broke through to the late stage of the Great Luo realm.

Yun Zhongjun and Xuan Nu both reached the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and each of them made tremendous gains.

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

Feeling the immense power surging within him, Hongyun laughed heartily, clapping his hands in delight, and exclaimed, "This debate on the Dao is worth hundreds of thousands of years of arduous cultivation!"

"Hongyun is right."

A rare smile appeared on Zhen Yuanzi's upright face as he couldn't hide his excitement. He said, "If it weren't for discussing the Dao with you fellow Daoists for ten thousand years, I don't know how many more Yuanhui it would have taken me to break through."

Upon hearing this, Donghua smiled faintly and said, "Thanks to the two fellow Daoists, we have also benefited greatly."

With the incomplete Jade Disc of Creation in his hand, he was arguably the biggest beneficiary of this debate.

After the discussion, Donghua and the others did not leave. Instead, at Zhen Yuanzi's invitation, they stayed at Wuzhuang Temple for the time being, so that they could continue to discuss Taoist techniques and supernatural powers.

After all, opportunities for so many powerful individuals to gather together are rare.

After lingering for most of the year, Donghua and the others finally took their leave.

Before leaving, Donghua, remembering the friendship forged during their discussion, advised Hongyun, "If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you may come to Zifu Continent in the East Sea to find me."

Hongyun in Zixiao Palace gave way to Jieyin, and has already incurred enormous karmic debts.

I fear that he will soon face certain death.

If I have the ability at that time, I wouldn't mind giving him a hand.

After all, according to the original primordial mythology, although Hongyun died, he was reincarnated as Shennong, one of the three emperors of the human race, and thus inherited some of the great fortune of the human race.

If I can win them over to my side, it will be of great benefit to my future plans for the human race.

Not to mention Zhen Yuanzi, who later became the ancestor of the Earth Immortals, and whose companion magic treasure, the Earth Book, was related to the stability of the primordial earth veins.

If we plan carefully and bring them into the Celestial Court, we might reap some unexpected benefits in repairing the earth's veins in the future.

Therefore, he didn't mind forming a good relationship with these two people.

However, Hongyun clearly didn't take Donghua's advice to heart and casually replied, "Thank you, fellow Daoist. I'll remember it."

Seeing this, Donghua could only shake his head helplessly.

He had said all he needed to say; whether Hongyun could escape the calamity depended on his own fate.

After leaving Wuzhuang Temple, Jin Hongshi and Yun Zhongjun also took their leave and returned to their respective temples.

Xuan Nu also returned to Jiugong Mountain.

Donghua then returned to Yaochi with the Queen Mother of the West, retrieved the gourd embryo he had obtained from Buzhou Mountain, and prepared to refine it into a magical treasure. However, he had no idea what kind of treasure he wanted to refine it into.

The gourds that grow on the gourd vine are merely embryonic forms of magical treasures and do not possess any attributes.

Therefore, what kind of treasure can be refined depends entirely on the wishes of the person who obtains it.

In the original story, this purple and white gourd was refined by Taiyi into the Immortal-Slaying Gourd. After Taiyi's death, it passed into the hands of Lu Ya, the tenth prince of the Golden Crows, and shone brightly during the Investiture of the Gods.

But for Donghua, this so-called Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife had absolutely nothing to do with him.
