Donghua Severs a Corpse
After everyone in the hall dispersed, Taiyi stared at Kunpeng's departing figure.
"Brother, Kunpeng's thoughts are not that simple!"
Di Jun laughed heartily, patted Taiyi on the shoulder, and said happily, "Good thing, really good thing! Second brother is now considering these things too. He can help me share more of the burden in the future!"
"As for Kunpeng's intentions, I understand. He simply wants to use the Heavenly Court to help him conquer the Four Seas."
"None of our Heavenly Court Emperors are simple. Kunpeng is alright, I can handle him, but what worries me most are Fuxi and Nuwa!"
Taiyi quickly shook his head and refused. "Brother, please let me go. I am not suited for this. My heart is only for the Great Dao and for battle!"
"Since you understand the scheme behind this, brother, I won't worry about it anymore!"
Di Jun's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said arrogantly, "Don't worry, there are plenty of people in this world who can outsmart me!"
"Hahaha!"
Donghua, caught in the River of Destiny, is knocked down time and time again, but he gets up and moves forward again.
Various great paths accompanied him, and the Destiny and Fortune Imperial Dao became increasingly evident. Even at this moment, Donghua was still somewhat confused.
He can now fully grasp the Destiny and Fortune Imperial Dao, but he still can't understand why the Emperor's Path, which he had stopped cultivating, has now grown to this extent.
His body was now filled with a great deal of Desire and Obsession, which were the good thoughts that remained after he had overcome them, as well as some obsessions.
"Since we cannot reach the other shore, then let Slaying the Corpse!"
As the words fell, all the defeated good intentions were gathered together, along with some good intentions that had not yet been defeated.
Goodness, formed in different periods, comes in different types. Some are love for heaven and earth, some are compassion for all living beings, and some are indecisive goodness.
They manifested one after another, transforming into different stages of themselves, each figure possessing the same Dao Realm strength as him.
Donghua showed no fear. He began to challenge them one by one, breaking his own resolve to fight alone.
"The Tao is eternal, and so am I!"
Good is me, evil is me, everything is me!
"As long as the Tao exists, I am omnipresent!"
The Pure Yang Great Dao, the Primordial Yang Great Dao, the Heavenly Tribulation Great Dao, the Transaction Great Dao, the Purification Great Dao, the Five Elements Great Dao, the Yin-Yang Path, and even the dissipated Destiny and Fortune Imperial Dao all re-formed.
From the very beginning, Wuji gave rise to Taiji, Taiji gave rise to Yin Two Modes, Two Modes and Yang gave rise to the Four Symbols, the Four Symbols transformed into the Five Elements, the Five Elements evolved into the Six Harmonies, the Six Harmonies changed again, and a vague Bagua diagram finally condensed, gathering all the Great Daos of Donghua.
The Great Dao changed once more, transforming into countless figures in an instant, forming an absolute suppression. These figures then transformed into streaks of sword light, slicing through the benevolent thoughts in the long river with a single strike.
Standing atop the Suspended Peak, Donghua radiated boundless brilliance, displaying the strength of Mid Quasi-Saint, his power overwhelming the Three Islands and Ten Continents.
"Cut!"
As light and darkness alternated, a white ball of light was completely cleaved out from the River of Destiny.
Donghua raised the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Ruler and began to gather the good intentions he had cut away.
The Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Ruler gradually deformed, and the Primordial Yang Great Dao and innate spiritual light it contained began to pulse and change, actively absorbing the white light cluster that was rolling away.
Before long, the white light was completely absorbed, and the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Ruler also changed, becoming illusory and gradually transforming into a human figure.
Finally, after fully transforming into human form, he bowed to Donghua and said, "Yuanyang greets the Venerable One!"
Donghua smiled happily, then with a thought, his Yuanyang transformed into the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Ruler and entered his Purple Mansion World!
Although we failed to reach the other side of the River of Destiny this time, being able to sever the good corpse was still an unexpected joy.
Most importantly, the Great Dao of the Innate Eight Trigrams is finally about to be comprehended, forming the foundation of the Dao. The rest is just a matter of refining it a little more, which is not a problem.
However, what troubled Donghua most was the Destiny and Fortune Imperial Dao. He had clearly given up cultivation, but unexpectedly, this path could operate on its own and transformed into an Emperor's Path that he himself did not recognize.
With a flick of his right hand, a sword-like finger was drawn, and the pure Yang laws intertwined to form a sword light that cleaved through the Yunxiao. However, the Dao laws contained the grand Emperor Dao laws.
"Did I just contradict myself?"
Previously, he had confidently declared in the Western Region that he had given up cultivating the path of Destiny and Fortune Imperial Dao, but now the Great Dao contains the Emperor's Way everywhere, and even his entire body's magical power contains the might of the Emperor's Way.
"From now on, we should avoid taking action if possible. Once we do, our true colors will be completely exposed!"
Although Donghua decided to compete for the Primordial Wilderness. From beginning to end, he did not want to become the Heavenly Emperor. In his mind, this was a dead end.
In fact, the Destiny and Fortune Imperial Dao is an absolute dead end. If you want to use destiny to prove your Dao, you must prove your Dao before the Six Sages, otherwise it is absolutely impossible.
However, to attain enlightenment before the Six Sages is extremely difficult, or even impossible.
The Six Sages were among the most outstanding in the Primordial Wilderness in terms of birth, cultivation, fortune, and talent. What makes Donghua think he can attain enlightenment before them? Is it simply because he is a transmigrator?
Don't be ridiculous. You don't even know if those memories are real or fake, let alone when you reach the Quasi-Saint realm, roaming the River of Destiny. A single thought can become a possibility, a world.
No one knows what the future Primordial Wilderness will be like. The development of the Primordial Wilderness is not fixed but ever-changing, and no one knows which direction it will take.
And isn't that the greatest charm of the Primordial Wilderness? Anything is possible.
Otherwise, what are the liches fighting over?
What were Tongtian and Yuanshi fighting over later?
The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, and one escapes—this is the opportunity for all living beings!
Purple Mansion watching from below saw Donghua finish his cultivation, and streams of light rose up and landed on the Suspended Peak.
"Greetings, Your Majesty! We congratulate you on your remarkable progress in cultivation, your imminent attainment of Dao, and your promising path to the Hun Yuan Realm!"
Donghua laughed heartily, "We are cultivators, no need for formalities."
"The road ahead is long and arduous, but I will persevere in my pursuit; I am merely taking the first step on the path to the Great Way."
"You are both my subordinates and my fellow Daoists. Fellow Daoists are friends of the Great Dao. I await you ahead!"
Everyone praised it, but some guests from the Purple Sky Palace were both happy and disappointed.
Both were students taught by the Dao Ancestor, yet the other had already severed two corpses, while I hadn't even broken through to Quasi-Saint, let alone Slaying the Corpse.
Who are you talking about?
I'm talking about you, Randeng!
Although Randeng's disappointment was fleeting, in Donghua's eyes, it seemed that there were no secrets at all!
"Randeng, how has your cultivation been lately?"
Upon hearing Donghua's call, Randeng, who was standing nearby, quickly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, since I began cultivating the Purple Mansion Immortal Path, my strength has increased daily, and I have now reached the late stage of the Daluo Golden Immortal."
Donghua smiled and patted Randeng on the shoulder twice.
The next moment, an invisible thread of cause and effect manifested from the body of the Randeng.
Randeng was immediately shocked. "What, what is this?"
"This is Zhunti's power of cause and effect. A flower blooms with a single thought, and cause and effect arise with another! It seems that Zhunti thinks highly of you. Would you like to go to the Western Region to cultivate?" Donghua said jokingly.
"Your Majesty, I never intended to betray the Purple Mansion. Please, Your Majesty, do not do this. How can Randeng bear this?" Randeng's expression was truly remarkable, as if he were about to cry.
Donghua stopped Randeng; some things only need to be said once. Then he casually erased the causal threads from Randeng's body.
"I was just kidding. Look at you, getting all worked up. But since you cultivate the Great Dao of Annihilation, the Western Great Dharma is indeed suitable for you."
"Among the Thirty-Six Heavenly Dipper Great Spiritual Powers, there are two methods: the Great Dream of Three Thousand and the Sixteen-Foot Golden Body. You can study them more. After you break through to the peak of the Daluo Golden Immortal, I have an opportunity here that can help you break through to the Quasi-Saint as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, Randeng immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness in recognizing my talent and granting me Randeng. I have no way to repay you, and I wish to use my cultivation to follow Your Majesty forever!"
The carrot and stick approach is a timeless classic!
