Steadfast Dao Heart, Destiny and Fortune Imperial Dao

The flames of war in the chaos have subsided!

Hongjun stood in his original position, looked at the spot where Luohu had been, sighed, but did not go to look for him. Instead, he came to the front of everyone.

"Greetings, Master/Teacher."

Hongjun hummed in agreement and said:

"The Demon Ancestor has now returned from the Great Dao and achieved Hun Yuan status. This is in accordance with the great trend of the Heavenly Dao. After all, the birth of a Hun Yuan can lead to better development of the Primordial World. Therefore, the Heavenly Dao Hongjun cannot kill him."

"You must cultivate diligently and attain the Hun Yuan as soon as possible. When Luohu returns, he will certainly not let this go."

The group replied, "We will obey our Master's/Teacher's orders!"

"Um!"

Di Jun suddenly stepped forward, bowed, and then said:

"Reporting to Master, Luohu was released by the Western Region Jieyin and Zhunti. Such behavior makes him utterly unworthy to control the Primordial Violet Qi. We beg Master to withdraw him."

As Di Jun finished speaking, the people of the Heavenly Court spoke up one after another, requesting Hongjun to take back the Primordial Violet Qi that Jieyin and Zhunti.

Upon hearing this, Hongjun said nothing, but instead reached out and grabbed, and an invisible Daoist aura pierced through the chaos, reaching the Primordial Wilderness.

By the time everyone realized what was happening, Jieyin and Zhunti had already appeared in the chaos.

The two looked bewildered, unable to understand how they had suddenly arrived in the Chaos. Despite their injuries, they unleashed their power.

But after seeing the situation around him, he disregarded his injuries and rushed forward to pay his respects to Hongjun.

"Master, you must avenge us! The Twelve Ancestor Witches have gone too far! For the sake of the Primordial Violet Qi, they have destroyed the Western Spirit Mountain, and they want to kill their disciple!"

"None of that matters. The most important thing is that they're slapping you in the face!"

Zhunti forward and hugged Hongjun's leg tightly, his voice so plaintive that it moved and saddened all who heard it.

While Jieyin didn't say anything, he exposed his injured left arm and looked at Hongjun with a sorrowful expression.

The many Great Powers of the Primordial Wilderness were stunned by this scene. Could it really be done like this?

You, Zhunti, are at least Quasi-Saint and a Great Powers, how can you be so shameless!

"Pah, you despicable person!"

Eastern Emperor Taiyi glanced at him with disgust. He really couldn't understand how such a person could become Quasi-Saint and be accepted as a disciple by the Dao Ancestor, who bestowed upon him the Primordial Violet Qi.

Hongjun made no comment on this scene, but pointed his finger and the two of them stood up. Their injuries from the previous battle had been completely healed, and they slowly recounted what had just happened.

What do you two think?

"Master, Master! Di Jun has slandered us! How could I possibly save the Demon Ancestor? It must be the will of Heaven, and has nothing to do with us!"

"Besides, it was the Witch Clan who provoked us first. If it weren't for them, how could this have happened? If we're talking about cause and effect, then the blame should fall on the Witch Clan!"

Zhunti finished speaking, she was about to cry again, but Hongjun stopped her.

"Your dealings with the Witch Clan have their own causes and consequences. You should know that even the smallest matter can affect the overall situation of the Primordial Wilderness world."

"You two are my disciples, you must set an example and not cause chaos in the world, or I will not forgive you."

Hongjun spoke softly, but to Jieyin and Zhunti, it was like thunder, leaving them momentarily at a loss.

After all, it was indeed our own dishonest act to rob the Witch Clan's treasury that led to this situation.

Even if the Witch Clan wanted the Primordial Violet Qi, their reason wouldn't be so righteous.

The two dared to argue vehemently in front of the Witch Clan, but dared not utter a single word in front of Hongjun.

After Hongjun finished speaking, he looked at the people in the chaos and said again:

"You have all heard the Dao at the Purple Sky Palace, and you are all destined to meet me. Moreover, you are all innate deities, Innate Deities and nurtured by heaven and earth. You should have lofty ambitions and great love for heaven and earth."

Don't let trivial matters and personal gains ruin your future; it's not worth it!

At this point, Hongjun paused, thought for a moment, and then said:

"As for their role in Jieyin the Demon Ancestor back, we must look at it from two perspectives."

"The return of the Demon Ancestor is a good thing for the Primordial World and the Heavenly Dao. Jieyin and Zhunti have made contributions, and the Primordial Violet Qi is a supreme treasure of the Heavenly Dao. Neither of them has committed any wrongdoing, so I cannot take it back."

Jieyin and Zhunti heard this, they were overjoyed, but their happiness was short-lived.

Hongjun then continued:

"However, this matter has significant karmic consequences for both the Immortal Dao and Devil Dao paths, and it will inevitably bear fruit in the Western Region and for the two of you in the future. This is unavoidable."

Upon hearing this, the two men's faces fell. Zhunti asked unwillingly, "May I ask, Master, what is the cause and effect? How can we repay it?"

"Cause and effect occur twice, once in the Devil Dao and once in the Immortal Dao. They are different for each. The time is not yet ripe, and the Heavenly Secret cannot be revealed."

Hongjun's explanation was very simple, without specifying what it was about.

However, after hearing this, Di Jun and the others didn't dare to ask any more questions and let the matter drop.

But Zhunti was still unwilling to give up and asked again, "May I ask, Master, what great karmic debt do we have with the Devil Dao? The Demon Ancestor's return was also due to our merit. Shouldn't he owe us a great karmic debt?"

Zhunti couldn't understand this at all. He acknowledged the karmic debt he owed to the Immortal Dao, since the return of Luohu would inevitably clash with the Immortal Dao and be detrimental to Immortal Dao development.

Hongjun explained, "The Lord of the Western Region is Luohu, Mount Sumeru is his sacred site. If Luohu does not return, you two can naturally possess it without any qualms."

"But now that Luohu has returned, in the eyes of Heavenly Dao, you two are no longer the first in line, but have taken everything from Luohu. This is the first cause!"

"The second cause is Luohu's karma. The Western Region Paradise was created by Luohu and me, and I have already repaid my karma. However, Luohu has departed through the Dao and cannot repay it."

"Now that Luohu has returned because of you, the blame lies with the Devil Dao and with you. Yet you still occupy the Western Land. The cause and effect are intertwined, and you are no longer distinguished from one another!"

Zhunti was completely bewildered after hearing Zhunti. He himself cultivated the law of cause and effect, yet he couldn't understand Hongjun's words at all. What did they mean?

But Hongjun had already fallen silent, and he could no longer press the matter.

"Go back now. Don't worry about Luohu; he won't attack you in the Primordial Wilderness."

After hearing this, everyone bid farewell to Hongjun.

Donghua and his companions traveled through the chaos, returning to the Primordial Wilderness. After reaching the Nine Heavens, they bid farewell to everyone and returned to the Purple Mansion.

Time flies, but spiritual practice knows no bounds!

Since the last Chaos Observation Battle ended, Donghua has been in seclusion in the Purple Mansion for cultivation.

Having witnessed the methods used by Jieyin and Zhunti, Yuanshi, and others last time, Donghua felt a sense of urgency.

Despite my continuous efforts in cultivation, the gap between us has widened.

This gap is reflected in the diversity of the Great Way, because he found himself too conservative.

Both Yuanshi and Zhunti had a fanatical pursuit of the Great Dao, to the point that they were willing to become demons or gods.

But looking at myself, I am far from that level. I only think about how to survive and protect myself, and my heart for the Way is far from being there.

Moreover, he had no trump card in his cultivation, nothing to offer, and his greatest achievement was the Eight Trigrams Great Dao, but it was still not enough.

In order to attain enlightenment, Yuanshi cultivated the three paths of gods, immortals, and demons.

Jieyin the Great Dream of Three Thousand, Three Thousand Incarnations, Three Thousand Great Daos.

Nuwa's Creation Great Dao evolves the world through creation. Of the Three Thousand Great Daos, she only cultivates creation, yet she can create three thousand things, forming a complete system.

Zhunti, by gathering his own karma into the long river, Reverse Cause and Effect, becoming both cause and effect, creating an entangled and unpredictable web of cause and effect, which is extraordinary.

As for Tongtian and Taishang, they haven't made a move for a long time, and Donghua doesn't know what level they've reached.

These later Saint are growing at an unparalleled pace, while his growth is far too slow.

Having witnessed the power of Hun Yuan, he did not want to live a life of compromise and subservience after everyone else had Attain Sainthood, nor did he want to be sought out by a junior Saint one day.

At this moment, Donghua made a change and began to pursue his own path!

But where is his path?

He once firmly believed in his Dao Heart to establish a moral compass for heaven and earth and to contribute to all living beings, and he still feels there is no problem with that.

He was the Head of Male Immortals in Immortal Dao path, and compiled the thirty-six Heavenly Dipper Great Spiritual Powers of the Heavenly Gang and the seventy-two minor divine powers of the Earthly Fiends, which became the protective divine powers for the cultivation of Immortal Dao.

This task sounds simple, and there weren't any major difficulties in completing it.

This does not diminish the importance of this matter; it is only because of the role played by the Dao Ancestor.

After the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Divine Powers spread widely throughout the prehistoric Primordial Wilderness, they indeed made an immortal contribution to the development of the Immortal Dao.

This also provided Donghua with an inexhaustible Luck Power Immortal Dao.

In the Divine Dao, he is the Eastern Emperor Donghua, the Donghua God, and the Eastern Wood Duke. However, as he cultivates the Immortal Dao, the fortune that the Divine Dao can bring has become less and less, limited to the meager fortune brought by his regulation of the wood energy in the Primordial Wilderness east.

He had traveled through the Primordial Wilderness twice. The first time was when he returned from his time travel, when he traveled through the Primordial Wilderness with Shao Siming and Tai Hua. The second time was when he traveled through the Primordial Wilderness with Fuxi and West Queen Mother.

During both of these periods, he preached Preaching the Dao in the Primordial World, especially during the last time, when he merged into the people of the acquired world to practice his Dao.

He destroyed the Taotie, extinguished the Volcano of Immortality, sealed the Shen Ni incarnation, repaired the Western Region Earth Vein, brought the Netherworld Realm back to life, created the Eight Trigrams Great Dao, and wrote the Book of Changes to spread throughout the Primordial Wilderness.

Spread the Immortal Dao widely and enlighten the world!

While I dare not say how much I have contributed to the world, I have indeed done so, and I continue to do so.

Therefore, my Dao Heart is unwavering!

Thinking of this, Donghua stopped pondering it. His path was not wrong, for it was his true nature.

He began to contemplate the path of his cultivation. The path he was currently cultivating was mainly divided into three types: the Eight Trigrams Great Dao, the Pure Yang Great Dao, and the Destiny and Fortune Imperial Dao.

Of these three great paths, the Eight Trigrams Great Dao is the overarching principle, governing all paths of cultivation and elucidating the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, the myriad things of the great path, and the Yin Yang and Five Elements.

Even the Pure Yang Great Dao he cultivated could be transformed into the Eight Trigrams.

Therefore, strictly speaking, I now have two main paths to cultivate.

The Eight Trigrams Great Dao Destiny and Fortune Imperial Dao!

However, the current Eight Trigrams Great Dao) has reached a bottleneck and cannot achieve a breakthrough in the short term.

That leaves only the Destiny and Fortune Imperial Dao.

However, Donghua has always remained tight-lipped about the Destiny and Fortune Imperial Dao.

It wasn't just because of fear of the Witch and Monster Two Clans.

The main reason lies in whether this path can lead to enlightenment. After all, from ancient times to the present, no one has ever reached the pinnacle of this path and Attain Hunyuan Dao.

Moreover, it seems that those who cultivate this path are all short-lived.

The Old Ancestor Kunwu of the Kunwu Divine Dynasty was the first person to gather fortune and cultivate the Emperor's Path. His fate was predictable; he was cruelly murdered by Shen Ni, and his body and path vanished.

The same fate befell the Three Clans subsequent races; the Ancestor Dragon, the Yuanfeng, and the First Qilin met no better ends.

As for the Witch and Monster Two Clans today, according to the final course of history, Di Jun and Taiyi, Dijiang, and others also met their end with death and annihilation.

Even the original body that cultivated the Destiny and Fortune Imperial Dao could not escape this fate.

In later generations, Haotian also died and was forced to reincarnate. He went from being the dignified Heavenly Court Heavenly Emperor to becoming the Jade Emperor, the head of the Six Emperors of Heavenly Court. It was a tragic and pitiful story.

It was as if the Destiny and Fortune Imperial Dao were cursed, and none of those who cultivated had a good ending.

This is the real reason why Donghua is uninterested in and reluctant to discuss the Destiny and Fortune Imperial Dao.

To be honest, if he could have seen even a glimmer of hope for attaining enlightenment from this Destiny and Fortune Imperial Dao, he wouldn't have given up on cultivation back then.

After all, the struggle for supremacy is no ordinary matter!

However, the less he cultivated, the stronger his Destiny and Fortune Imperial Dao became, as if the Destiny and Fortune Imperial Dao itself were cultivating at all times.

That's really weird!

He once ventured alone into the River of Destiny, but he still couldn't understand why, and remains completely baffled to this day.

With his thoughts settled here, Donghua lay down and relaxed.

Since you love spiritual practice, then I will take the initiative to practice!

This time, instead of relying on the Destiny and Fortune Imperial Dao's Path to operate on its own, Donghua began to control the Luck Power and cultivate towards the Emperor's Path.

At this moment, Donghua sat upright on the Pure World Lotus Platform, with the Dragon Head Golden Staff and the Kongtong Seal appearing together, and endless Luck Power began to gather.

He possesses the fortune of the head of the Donghua Head of Male Immortals, the fortune of the Innate Deities and the Eastern Wood Duke, and the fortune of the Purple Mansion.

These are the three largest types of fortune, and countless other types of fortune gradually converge upon them.

It possesses the fortune brought by the divine powers of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends.

It has the fortune that has flowed in from the Western Region.

It possesses the auspicious energy that converges from the Volcano of Immortality of the south.

There is also the continuous flow of fortune from heaven and earth, from mountains and rivers to all living things. Although this fortune is scarce, its strength lies in its inexhaustible source, constantly being generated.

Upon seeing this, Donghua frowned, but had no time to think further and continued his cultivation.

Countless streams of fortune converged into a golden river that flowed around him.

The entire Jingyang Palace was bathed in gold!

Donghua also began to unleash his other Great Daos: Pure Yang, Bagua, Primordial Wood Dao, Time, Space, Yin-Yang, Five Elements, Cause and Effect, and so on.

Donghua has been involved in Three Thousand Great Daos. Mastering one Dao leads to understanding all others. When one cultivates a Dao to its ultimate level, it can naturally be transformed into other Daos.

The same path can yield completely different results depending on the individual who cultivates it.

Take the Pure Yang Great Dao as an example. Haotian is also cultivating it, but among those of the same realm, Donghua is absolutely confident that he can completely defeat him.

At this moment, the Qi and blood began to flow, driving the Three Thousand Great Daos Laws and beginning to manifest the ultimate Dao!

Under the pull of destiny, the power of the Three Thousand Laws began to transform into chains of rules.

As the chain of rules took shape, the aura emanating from Donghua grew stronger and stronger.

An ancient and majestic aura spread.

Starting from the Jingyang Palace, the Azure Sea, Purple Mansion Continent, the Three Islands and Ten Continents, and traverses the East Sea.

Everyone was shocked. Those from the Purple Mansion looked towards the Jingyang Palace, all overwhelmed by its imposing aura.

Faced with this aura, everyone felt an aura of great love, yet they couldn't help but want to submit and prostrate themselves.

At this moment, cultivators below the Grand Unity level were completely subdued by this aura.

His face showed worship and respect, but his eyes were filled with madness, as if he had been brainwashed.

P. S.: I'd still like to ask for some monthly tickets and recommendation votes to support Wangyue!

Thank you to all the readers who voted and tipped these past few days. I've been working incredibly hard, writing 10,000 words a day, but I'm almost at my breaking point, since I'm not a full-time writer.
