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

Chapter 20 Tribe

After the two left, Donghua couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Turning to Yuan Xiong, he said, "Fellow Daoist, you can't stop Xiong Er's desire for revenge. It's better to let this hatred become the driving force for his cultivation. Just guide him properly and don't let him be dominated by hatred."

After hearing this, Yuan Xiong nodded helplessly. Didn't he know his son's personality well enough? Although he had suppressed him for so many years, his desire for revenge had not diminished at all.

"I hope this child doesn't go astray."

Just then, a person walked in from outside. He was about to say something, but stopped when he saw that there was an outsider there.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Xiong said, "It's alright, just say what you need to say."

"Clan leader, Jumang of the Demon God Clan requests your presence."

Yuan Xiong frowned slightly upon hearing this.

"Understood, I'll go shortly."

Upon hearing this, Donghua said, "Fellow Daoist Yuanxiong, since you have things to attend to, we will take our leave."

Yuan Xiong waved his hand: "Dong Wang Gong, please don't do this. It's probably just some trouble caused by the demon race's Heavenly Court. It's nothing serious, just going out for a fight. We've gotten used to it over the years."

"Fellow Daoist, it is a rare opportunity for you to come. If you do not mind our clan's current state of decline, you may stay for a few more days until I return, so that I may fulfill my duty as a host."

Donghua thought for a moment and realized that he also wanted to learn about the great clans of the prehistoric world, so he decided to stay.

"In that case, I'll leave you to my business, Fellow Daoist Yuanxiong. Please go ahead and do your work."

……

Donghua sat on the steps, with many iron-eating beasts below.

"The Great Dao is formless, yet it gives birth to Heaven and Earth; the Great Dao is without emotion, yet it governs the sun and moon; the Great Dao is nameless, yet it nurtures all things; I do not know its name, so I call it Dao. The Dao is sometimes clear, sometimes turbid; sometimes moving, sometimes still; Heaven is clear, Earth is turbid; Heaven moves, Earth is still…"

When a person can maintain a state of tranquility, the universe will return to its proper order. The human spirit naturally desires tranquility, but the mind disturbs it; the human heart naturally desires stillness, but desires pull it away. If one can constantly dispel desires, the mind will naturally be still; if one can purify the mind, the spirit will naturally be clear.

When Donghua preached, it wasn't so much like golden lotuses springing from the ground, but the thunderous sound of the Great Dao still resounded in our ears.

After the sermon ended, the crowd rose and bowed, saying, "We thank the Eastern King."

Donghua smiled and nodded, then stood up to leave.

"Great God, Great God."

Xiong Er chased after them from behind.

"Slow down, slow down, don't rush, what's wrong?"

Xiong Er scratched his head sheepishly and said, "Great Master, I have a favor to ask."

"Tell me about it!"

Xiong Er stretched out his right hand and took out his black iron rod, saying, "Great God, I heard from my father that you are a master weapon refiner. I would like to ask you to reforge my weapon."

Donghua nodded. Although he could refine weapons, he was definitely not a master. However, when it came to formations, he was indeed a master.

He took the black iron rod, weighed it in his hand, and with his magic power flowing through the rod, he immediately understood the structure of the weapon.

It can only be said that this weapon was made too crudely, and it was refined using divine methods, making it the lowest grade of acquired spiritual treasure.

"Okay, no problem, I'll pick it up in a month!"

After saying this, Donghua left the place.

He had been in the Iron-Eating Beast tribe for the past few days and had witnessed the backwardness of the tribe in this era.

In daily life, marriage, and even the way people speak, everything from clothing, food, housing, and transportation shows a backwardness.

The social hierarchy is distinct: top-level cultivators enjoy everything, while bottom-level cultivators struggle to survive.

The primordial world is no longer the era where everyone was born an immortal; ordinary beings have begun to be born.

During this period, Donghua traveled among the tribes, teaching the lower classes how to cultivate themselves. Based on the magic of later generations, he created many cultivation techniques and spells.

Most of the time, they were taught life skills and some customs.

Even high-ranking cultivators who have attained immortality will preach, because Donghua has found that he gains new insights in the process of preaching.

As Donghua walked through the Iron-Eating Beast Tribe, many pedestrians greeted him.

"Greetings, Master Taiwei."

"Where did the expert go to keep busy?"

Donghua would always answer their questions with a smile.

Upon returning to a simple dwelling built in a bamboo grove, Donghua discovered that Shao Siming was not cultivating, but instead cooking.

"What's wrong with you now? Why are you cooking?"

Taihua didn't even turn his head, his mind only on the food in the pot: "These past few days you've been teaching them how to cook, so I've learned a little bit too. It'll be ready soon, you can try it later."

A short while later, Taihua served four dishes.

"Your Majesty, please try my cooking!"

Donghua sat down and said, "From now on, when we're out and about, don't call me Emperor anymore. Since you're known as my brother, just call me elder brother."

After saying that, he picked up a dish with his chopsticks and took a bite.

After Donghua finished eating, Taihua hurriedly asked, "How was it? How was it? How was the food I made?"

"Hmm, not bad, but it's too extravagant. This isn't cooking, these are all innate spiritual treasures. Even if you don't cook, they would still taste delicious."

"Use ordinary ingredients to make dishes that have a unique flavor."

Taihua pouted and said, "I know. I've tried a few times before, but I can't do it well. I'm far inferior to you, brother."

Donghua smiled and said, "Just practice more. Don't worry about these trivial matters. Cultivation is the most important thing. You haven't been cultivating properly these past few days in the tribe. You need to..."

Before Donghua could finish speaking, he noticed that Shao Siming Taihua was amplified by an aura, indicating that she was at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

When did you achieve that breakthrough?

Taihua said proudly, "Brother, you didn't expect this, did you? My cultivation has already broken through."

Donghua nodded. He hadn't expected this at all. He had previously discovered that Taihua was still far from breaking through, but today he had already broken through.

"I never expected that these past few days, as my brother taught knowledge and preached to the tribe, I would find that all of this was in line with my own path. The day before yesterday, I suddenly had a feeling and broke through directly."

After hearing this, Donghua thought about the details.

In the past few days, he has imparted a lot of knowledge to the Iron-Eating Beast tribe, which can be summarized as people's livelihood.

Before cultivating immortality, Shao Siming Taihua was a god in charge of destiny and fortune.

"It seems you have found your own path, which is very good. It is easy for cultivators to comprehend the laws, but it is very difficult to comprehend their own path. This is also the key to breaking through to the Primordial Golden Immortal and becoming a Quasi-Saint. Not bad, really not bad."

Before the Heavenly Dao, because the Great Dao existed and it was easy to comprehend the laws, everyone cultivated the Divine Dao, which was the mainstream of the primordial world.

Now that the Heavenly Dao has emerged, comprehending its laws is much more difficult than in the past, but it is still quite easy for those who are born with divine abilities and those who are exceptionally gifted.

However, it is always difficult for cultivators to comprehend their own Dao, as this Dao is not a law or cultivation level, but a principle.

"Yes, brother."

After the two finished their meal, Donghua went to an empty space and took out the black iron rod that Xiong Er had given him earlier.

He then took out some rare and precious materials, pondered for a while, and then took out some more materials.

Then he directly summoned the Hunyuan Cauldron, a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure containing primordial energy, making it an excellent furnace for refining weapons.

The pure yang divine fire was heated under the Hunyuan Cauldron, and then the black iron rod was placed into the cauldron to begin the refining process.

Then, gradually add more materials in.

Inside the cauldron, one can clearly see the black iron rod constantly shrinking, with some parts melting away and then being filled in by newly melted material liquid.

The first step in weapon crafting is to fuse and refine all the materials together.

Once the refining process is complete, the black iron rod inside the cauldron will be in its most primitive state.

At this time, Donghua began to inscribe the Great Dao inscription.

First, the Law of Gravity was refined into an inscription and engraved inside the Xuan Iron Rod. Then, under the refinement of Primordial Qi and Pure Yang Divine Fire, it was fused into one.

Then came the Law of Destruction, the Law of Space, the Law of the Five Elements, and so on. One by one, these laws were refined and imprinted inside the Xuan Iron Rod by Donghua.

Finally, Donghua stopped when the Xuan Tie rod could no longer withstand the pressure.

After thinking for a while, he also incorporated his latest supernatural power, the ability to change size at will, into the design.

Once the carving was complete, Donghua used his magic again, and the primordial energy within the cauldron transformed into a hammer shadow, continuously striking the black iron rod.

Under the refinement of the pure yang divine fire and the hammering of the primordial energy, various Dao inscriptions began to merge, eventually slowly fusing together with the Xuan Iron Rod.

Upon seeing this, Donghua knew that the weapon forging had been successful.

Once the Pure Yang Divine Fire subsided, the Xuan Iron Rod broke free from the cauldron, flying through the air, vibrating and striking in all directions, releasing its energy.

Donghua reached out, and the black iron staff automatically returned to his hand. He then felt the power within the staff.
