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

Chapter 3 Innate Spiritual Treasure

Standing atop the precipice, Donghua couldn't help but sigh at this thought.

"The original Dongwanggong is gone just like that, and he traveled back in time and took over everything."

His transmigration into the body of the Eastern King Duke shouldn't be called transmigration, but rather a return.

He was certain that he was the Eastern King Duke; he was an undying true spirit of the Eastern King Duke. As for how he returned, he hadn't figured it out.

All that is known is that the original Dongwanggong has passed away, and the only one who remains now is the Dongwanggong that Wang Xuanfu transformed into.

"The injuries have improved, but the rest is just a matter of time. The damage to the primordial spirit is more difficult to heal, and it won't be healed all at once," Donghua said calmly, gazing at the sea of ​​clouds.

The Grand Master of Fate and the Junior Master of Fate nodded in agreement; indeed, it was not easy for the primordial spirit to recover from its injuries.

Donghua turned around and looked at the two people in front of him, but suddenly said, "You two should also cultivate properly, and not be as carefree and undisciplined as before."

It can be said that what troubles Donghua the most are the people under Zifu's command, as everyone who cultivates here is rather carefree and undisciplined.

Originally, the Purple Mansion was like a paradise, a unique case in this primordial world of constant fighting and killing.

If things continue to develop like this, that would be fine. The major powers of the prehistoric world wouldn't keep thinking about destroying this place, but would instead try to win it over.

But ever since Dongwanggong was made the head of the male immortals, he has become arrogant and has forgotten his own limitations.

He harbored inappropriate thoughts: to conquer the primordial world.

This led to his death, and the Purple Mansion's power ceased to exist.

After the destruction of the Purple Mansion, this place became a gathering place for wandering immortals, as well as some people from the Jie Sect in later generations. No famous figures occupied this place.

It seems there was a man named Yu Yuan whose Taoist temple was located here, and he was known as the Immortal of One Breath of Penglai.

"Understood, Your Majesty."

Shao Siming said impatiently, "The Emperor is good in every way, but ever since he became the leader of the male immortals, he has been demanding that they cultivate diligently."

Because of his status as the head of the male immortals, the Purple Mansion welcomed many beings from the primordial world, as well as some innate deities.

Some were hermits who did not want to join the demon race and the gods and demons in their struggle for supremacy in the primordial world.

Some of them fled here after their clans and paths were destroyed by demons and gods, and they re-established their Daoist temples and clan territories here.

There are also some opportunists who want to use the title of the head of the male immortals of the Eastern King to achieve great things. These people have been urging the Emperor to fight for supremacy.

Da Siming did not answer Donghua's request, because he had always cultivated diligently, regarding cultivation as his life, and he was taciturn by nature.

Donghua looked at the girl in the green dress who couldn't hide her feelings and liked her very much.

After all, girls with round faces are adorable no matter where they are.

Donghua couldn't resist and flicked her forehead.

"You little brat, you're so reluctant to cultivate properly. Do you think I'm making you work hard for your sake?"

Shao Siming was completely stunned by this sudden turn of events. She rubbed her forehead, feeling extremely wronged.

"I didn't say I wouldn't cultivate properly, so why did you hit my forehead? Besides, there's nothing wrong with cultivating for the Emperor. You're really getting worse and worse."

Donghua was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say. Why did this girl's style seem to be getting more and more off? She wasn't like this when they first met; she was very aloof. But now that she's with him, she seems to be from an anime.

"Alright, stop fooling around. I'm not joking with you this time. The Heavenly Court is expanding at an increasingly rapid pace, destroying temples and attacking clans at the drop of a hat. Those who do not submit will die. They might attack my Purple Mansion any day now."

Donghua offered a helpless explanation.

"Your Majesty is right, I feel the same way. The Heavenly Court is becoming more and more domineering, especially after the Three Lectures at Zixiao Palace. The Heavenly Court's offensive has become very strong." The Grand Master of Fate spoke his second sentence since arriving here, his voice cold.

Donghua nodded slightly and said:

"That's normal. The Heavenly Court can't sit still anymore because they're afraid."

"In the Zixiao Palace, the Dao Ancestor accepted the Three Pure Ones as his disciples and bestowed upon Laozi the Taiji Diagram, the Pangu Banner, the Tongtian Zhuxian Four Swords, and the Array Diagram of the Yuqing Yuanshi.

"The three thousand guests of Zixiao Palace have all obtained innate spiritual treasures to varying degrees, so the advantage of the demon race is getting smaller and smaller, while the resistance to unifying the prehistoric world by force is getting bigger and bigger. Naturally, they can't sit still."

At this point, Donghua paused, then changed his tone and continued:

"Unfortunately, the more they do this, the harder it will be for them to unify the prehistoric world. Where there is oppression, there will be resistance. The Heavenly Court's way has run into problems."

After Donghua finished speaking, the two nodded in agreement.

However, when the topic of innate spiritual treasures came up, envy was evident in the eyes of the Grand Master of Fate and the Junior Master of Fate.

Although they were born divine, their aptitude and background were ordinary, and they had no affinity with Zixiao Palace, so they naturally had no chance to hear the Dao.

"Innate treasures! Those are innate treasures! The Dao Ancestor was so generous, just giving them away like that, and there are so many innate spiritual treasures too." Shao Siming looked reluctant to part with them, as if those spiritual treasures were hers.

The allure of innate spiritual treasures is immense for cultivators, especially when they encounter a spiritual treasure that aligns with their own nature.

If Donghua didn't know what Hongjun ultimately wanted to do, he wouldn't understand why he would give away the innate treasure.

The Primordial Treasure is already the most supreme treasure in the world, and it is still very helpful even after one has attained the Primordial Dao.

The world's treasures are divided into innate spiritual treasures and acquired spiritual treasures.

There were no Chaos Treasures or Chaos Spiritual Treasures as Donghua knew in his previous life.

The Primordial Treasure is also the Primordial Spiritual Treasure. It is called the Primordial Treasure because of its special function and the completeness and transcendence of the Great Dao it contains.

"至" means supreme and unsurpassed.

Due to its unique nature, the primordial chaos could not give birth to any living beings, because the conditions were not met.

Therefore, in the primordial chaos, only the Great Dao existed. The Dao is everything. Pangu is the Great Dao, the Chaos Green Lotus is the Great Dao, and the Heaven-Opening Axe is also the Great Dao.

Whether it's the Chaos Lotus, the Axe that Created Heaven, or Pangu, these are all names. The Dao itself has no name, so where does the name Pangu come from?

They are merely the visible Great Way.

Therefore, Pangu can be anyone, and anyone can be Pangu, because Pangu possesses the characteristics of all living beings.

When Pangu created the world, there were no so-called three thousand demon gods to stop him, because there were no three thousand demon gods in the chaos itself. Even if there were so-called demon gods, they were just the Dao that was nurtured by the Great Dao.

Pangu separated the primordial chaos, which transformed into the vast天地 (heaven and earth), and the primordial chaos into the long river of time and the long river of destiny.

Both depend on Heaven and Earth, are similar to Heaven and Earth, and change with the development of Heaven and Earth.

It is because of these two that heaven and earth were able to give birth to and nurture all living things.

But how could there be living beings in the primordial chaos, which has no river of time or river of destiny?

After creating the world, Pangu transformed it into countless forms. Life quickly returned to the world.

Under the nurturing of the Great Dao, the primordial world came into being, including innate deities, innate beings, myriad races, and innate spiritual treasures.

In the primordial world, all living things came into being, and relying on the Great Dao, they gradually gave birth to their own Dao, the Dao of Heaven.

Because the Great Dao is not suitable for the primordial world.

Therefore, the Way of Heaven is born from the Great Way, yet it is unique to the Great Way.

The Way of Heaven is the Way of this world, encompassing everything in this world, while the Great Way is the Great Way of the primordial chaos.

Therefore, the innate spiritual treasure is a spiritual treasure formed from the innate Dao.

Acquired spiritual treasures are spiritual treasures formed after the birth of the Heavenly Dao. Some are acquired spiritual treasures nurtured by the Heavenly Dao, while others are acquired spiritual treasures refined by humans.

Artificial treasures crafted by humans are sometimes called celestial artifacts, sometimes divine artifacts, and sometimes demonic artifacts.

"Memories of past lives are not absolutely accurate; they can only be used as a reference in the future, otherwise we might really make a fool of ourselves," Donghua sighed inwardly.

Looking at Da Siming and Shao Siming, who were lamenting the loss of Lingbao, he realized that these two were his most trusted confidants.

Thinking of this, he took out a primordial spiritual treasure, his playful nature aroused, and prepared to tease Shao Siming.

"Little Master of Fate, call me 'Brother Emperor,' and I'll give you a magical treasure."

The two of them stared wide-eyed in disbelief, finding Lingbao and Donghua's words utterly unbelievable.

"Brother Emperor, Brother Emperor, Brother Emperor." Shao Siming stepped forward and hugged Donghua's left arm, calling out sweetly.

Donghua was stunned. He had only made a casual joke, but he hadn't expected this outcome. He was dumbfounded!

"Can't you have any integrity? You're the Junior Master of Fate who manages my Purple Mansion, and you treat a mere innate spiritual treasure like this?" Donghua said, slightly speechless.

"Integrity? What's that? Is it more important than a magical treasure?"

Shao Siming gave him an innocent look and shook Donghua's left arm with both hands.

"Here, take it." He handed over the innate spiritual treasure.

Shao Siming immediately detached herself from Donghua's left arm, swiftly took the spiritual treasure, and then imprinted a mark into it.

They were afraid of being too late and that Donghua would change his mind.

"This treasure is called the Three Star Mirror. It was formed from the light of the sun, moon and stars. It contains the laws of the stars. It can shoot out the light of the sun and moon to injure people's primordial spirit. The starlight can connect with the power of the stars to help you cultivate. It can be said to have endless wonderful uses."

The High Priest's eyes widened, and he slowly stepped forward, saying hesitantly, "Your Majesty, actually I can also..."

Donghua quickly backed away, saying in fear, "Stop, stop, don't move, don't move."

Being called "brother" by a beautiful girl is a real treat.

What are you doing, you big, cold man, getting involved? What you're doing isn't enjoyment, it's torture.

Then he took out a primordial spiritual treasure and gave it to the Grand Master of Fate.

He was afraid that if he was any slower, he would be unable to resist killing the Grand Master when he came close.

Lao Tzu is straight, not crooked.

The Grand Master of Fate quickly took the spiritual treasure and branded it as well.

"This treasure is called the Yin-Yang Furnace. All things carry Yin and embrace Yang. Yin-Yang and the Five Elements are the foundation of the Dao."

The Yin-Yang Furnace contains the principles of Yin and Yang. It can be used to refine weapons and pills, to capture people within and kill them with the Yin and Yang fires, and also for defense. When defending, the Yin-Yang Furnace releases Yin and Yang energies to protect the body completely.

While they were refining the spiritual treasures, Donghua gave a brief introduction to the spiritual treasures he had given them.

The greatest use of innate spiritual treasures is to comprehend the laws of the Great Dao and suppress destiny.

After the two were branded, they were no longer in a hurry to refine the essence, and bowed deeply to Donghua.

"Thank you for bestowing this treasure upon me, Your Majesty."

Such a grand gesture is rarely performed among cultivators, but Donghua is certainly worthy of this bow.

"You two must cultivate diligently from now on and strictly discipline the thirty-five departments of the Purple Mansion. I estimate that we will have a battle with the Heavenly Court sooner or later, and this battle will be a life-or-death struggle. Don't let your inferior cultivation level turn you into ashes."

Donghua spoke these words seriously and domineeringly, with an air of brooking no refusal.

"Your Majesty, but I don't think we have such a big conflict with the Heavenly Court. Our Purple Mansion is located above the East Sea. As long as we don't participate in the struggle for supremacy in the prehistoric world, neither the Heavenly Court nor the Twelve Demon Gods will fight us to the death."

Moreover, Your Majesty is the head of the male immortals personally appointed by the Dao Ancestor; no cultivator will stand idly by when the time comes.

Shao Siming looked puzzled. In her opinion, the Purple Mansion was located above the East Sea of ​​the Primordial World, not in the center of the Primordial World. Who would have nothing better to do than fight to the death with the Purple Mansion?

It should be noted that the Purple Mansion is also a powerful force.

Unless the Emperor has developed a desire to dominate the primordial world and wants to become the Heavenly Emperor of the primordial world.

Donghua glanced at Shao Siming without saying a word, then got up and left the suspended peak, flying towards the Azure Sea Palace.

"Don't you think the Emperor is a little different than before?"

Shao Siming felt that the Emperor was very different after returning from listening to the Dao.

He's not as arrogant and haughty as before.

The current emperor is adorable and approachable, yet he seems particularly impetuous, unlike a quasi-saint and a ruler of a region. However, his personality has improved a lot compared to before.

She treated everyone with a gentle and warm demeanor; she didn't know how to describe the feeling of being with them.

It seems that what should be emphasized more is equality and respect.

So now she's quite casual with the Emperor, whereas she used to be very proper.

"I think the Emperor has the ambition to dominate the primordial world, he's just a bit confused right now," the Grand Master of Fate said calmly.

Shao Siming: "Then what is your choice?"

"I will do whatever Your Majesty desires."

"What if the price is death and the annihilation of one's soul?"

Even if I die and my soul perishes, I will have no regrets.

"Me too. Without the Emperor, I wouldn't be where I am today. Since the Emperor wants to become the Heavenly Emperor, I will do my best to help him achieve it."

The two stood quietly atop the cliff, gazing at the purple sea and the azure sky, remaining silent for a long time.

Perhaps they were thinking of the figure who had descended upon them like a savior that day.
