A Letter to the People of the Primordial Wilderness
The emergence of the Demon Realm provided Donghua and his companions with a feast, but for the beings of the Primordial Wilderness, it was nothing short of adding insult to injury.
First came the tribulation of lightning, then the Inner Demon!
"Can this path still be repaired?"
This was the thought in the hearts of almost all Primordial Wilderness beings, but no matter how unwilling or resentful they were, it was ultimately useless; no one could change what had already been decided.
However, this is also a manifestation of the perfection and maturity of the Heavenly Dao. After all, Heaven and Earth provide for all living beings, but very few living beings can give back to Heaven and Earth.
If this continues for too long, no matter how powerful or magnificent the Primordial World may be, it will inevitably perish and return to chaos.
Therefore, whether it is a great calamity or a heavenly punishment, it is just a means.
Moreover, cultivation is a path that defies the heavens. Some setbacks are nothing to worry about. Those who are truly devoted to the Great Dao will not fall before heavenly tribulations and Demon Tribulation.
After returning from the Chaos, Donghua had been in seclusion, not for cultivation, but to nurture the Spiritual Treasure Embryo with the Dao Law Power.
For a true spiritual treasure to grow, this is an essential step. In fact, the Immortal Slaying Four Swords are also Spiritual Treasure Embryo. Theoretically speaking, the four swords also have the potential to become supreme treasures.
Unfortunately, Luohu died too early, or rather, the first Immortal-Demon War broke out too quickly, and the Immortal Slaying Four Swords were not properly nurtured. If Luohu had nurtured the Immortal Slaying Four Swords to this day, they would definitely be no less than supreme treasures.
This refers to the power of the Immortal Slaying Four Swords themselves, not the Immortal Slaying Sword Array they form.
Therefore, the Immortal Slaying Sword Array is merely a compensatory measure for an embryo that was not properly developed and was born prematurely.
The four swords would not be nurtured and upgraded in Tongtian's hands. It's not that Tongtian is inferior to Luohu, but that Tongtian is not suitable. The Spiritual Treasure Embryo mainly relies on human nurturing and improvement, rather than the nurturing of the Great Dao and the Heavenly Dao.
The master of the Immortal Slaying Four Swords has always been Luohu, just like the Spiritual Treasure Embryo in Donghua's hands. Once it is conceived, its master can only be Donghua.
Even if it falls into the hands of someone else in the future, it will not be upgraded; it will remain in its original state.
This is what makes the Spiritual Treasure Embryo special!
Donghua immersed his Great Dao and primordial spirit in the spiritual treasure, slowly resonating with it. This process continued and was the most basic approach. Once he had complete control over the spiritual treasure, he would need to use the Emperor Dao Power evolve it.
This evolutionary process may be a long one, measured in epochs.
"Your Majesty, the Immortal Lord Randeng requests an audience!"
"Let him in!"
Donghua was quite surprised when he thought of Randeng, because he hadn't seen Randeng for a long time. The other party was either dealing with the Myriad Treasures Pavilion's affairs or in seclusion for cultivation, and hadn't come to see him for a long time.
This was something that would have been impossible before. Randeng would usually show up in front of him whenever he had a reason, but it seems that Randeng went silent after Taiyuan proposed the "Tai Wei Era".
"Looks like we'll have to promise little Randeng a pleasant surprise!"
After all, competition is competition, but we can't let it kill off enthusiasm. Otherwise, where would we find such capable employees? We couldn't find them even with a lantern.
Just as Donghua Laolu was making empty promises, Randeng walked in.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"No need for formalities. We are both from the Purple Sky Palace, so there's no need to be so distant in private. Come, have a seat!"
As soon as Randeng finished his greetings, Donghua became very polite and even personally poured him a cup of Big Red Robe. Randeng was flattered and took it well, behaving very respectfully.
Indeed, the current Randeng is better; at least he's not as cunning as he will be later. Although he is scheming, that's nothing special. In the Primordial Wilderness, who doesn't have a little bit of scheming?
"Your Majesty, please do not do this. Randeng's strength is shallow, and he is unable to share Your Majesty's burdens. I am truly ashamed!"
Donghua chuckled softly and said, "What are you saying? You've already taken on a lot for me by managing Myriad Treasures Pavilion so well. As for cultivation, that can be done slowly, there's no rush."
"Moreover, when I, Donghua, make friends, I never look at cultivation level or background, only character and ability."
Randeng said with great excitement, "I am willing to give my life for Your Majesty!"
Donghua smiled and said, "It doesn't have to be that bad!"
"Come, have some tea!"
"You are currently at the late stage of the Daluo Golden Immortal realm, and you should be about to break through to the peak. After you break through to the peak of the Daluo Golden Immortal realm, I will give you an opportunity that will allow you to quickly break through to the Quasi-Saint realm, and it will also be of great help to your future cultivation. At that time, based on your merits, the position of an Emperor Lord will be yours for the taking."
As if he had anticipated this day, Randeng couldn't help but laugh. Only then did he realize that he was in front of Donghua, and he took a sip of tea, feeling embarrassed.
Seeing that the atmosphere was right, Donghua asked, "Is there anything important you need to do here? Or is there anything I can help you with? Please feel free to ask!"
After listening, Randeng immediately put down his teacup, stood up, took out a Golden Scroll, and respectfully handed it to Donghua.
"Your Majesty, our Purple Mansion is about to conquer the world and sweep away all enemies. However, there are still fools who will rebel, because they do not know Your Majesty's intentions, nor do they know what kind of Cultivation Prosperity Your Majesty intends to establish for all living beings."
" By Randeng boldness, I have written down His Majesty's teachings and composed this proclamation to let all beings know His Majesty's intentions: Our Purple Mansion's military expedition is for the sake of all beings, not for personal gain!"
Donghua took the Golden Scroll and began to read it. The more he read, the more alarmed he became, and the happier he was.
The very first thing the story says is about Donghua's background and identity, and there is no fabrication in this regard; it is very authentic.
"Donghua, Eastern Wood Duke or the East King, is the Head of Male Immortals, a direct disciple of the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and the Purple Mansion Donghua Emperor..."
After the opening chapter, the chapter "Establishing a Heart for Heaven and Earth" begins. This chapter recounts the conflicts from the beginning of the Primordial World to the present day, proposing that heaven and earth are without heart and order, and only the Purple Mansion of the Purple Mansion Donghua can establish a heart for heaven and earth and create a Cultivation Prosperity for cultivation for all living beings!
The following two articles discuss the theories that Donghua once proposed in the Purple Mansion, explaining Donghua's theories from multiple aspects such as virtue, merit, character, ability, and cultivation.
"People are not distinguished by their innate qualities or acquired traits!"
"Virtue and spiritual practice should be given equal importance!"
"I want to be someone who contributes to the Primordial Wilderness!"
After Donghua finished reading it, he himself found it hard to believe, because it was so shocking. It was hard to believe that this was written by a Daluo Golden Immortal from the Primordial Wilderness Era. You could say you were a modern person and I would believe it.
Moreover, at the end of the Golden Scroll, there is a declaration addressed to all living beings in the Primordial Wilderness, explaining the legitimacy and necessity of the Purple Mansion's military expedition, and the orthodoxy of the Donghua!
"This book is worth ten Quasi-Saint! Immortal Lord Randeng's talent is truly remarkable!"
Donghua was generous with his praise, because this declaration truly deserved such praise. The Golden Scroll was only three thousand words long, and the declaration was only eight hundred words long, but in Donghua's eyes, these three thousand eight hundred words were comparable to those of ten Quasi-Saint.
With this Golden Scroll and declaration, the Purple Mansion's journey will be shortened by half, attracting more like-minded individuals to join, as well as some races that dislike war. This will not only increase the Purple Mansion's strength but also reduce its enemies.
Most importantly, everything stated in this Golden Scroll and declaration is something that Donghua wholeheartedly endorses, and this is also his imperial way.
If, during the conquest of the world, any race that does not recognize the declaration, then they are naturally irreconcilable enemies and not within the scope of the Purple Mansion's restraint.
This declaration will surely shock the world and quickly create a situation where people take sides. This will also be a way for the Purple Mansion to win without fighting.
"Thank you for your praise, Your Randeng. I am unworthy of such praise. It is my honor to be able to share Your Majesty's Randeng."
The corners of Randeng's mouth couldn't help but turn up, but he still suppressed his joy and tried his best to remain calm, after all, this joy was something he could only enjoy alone.
"What's rightfully yours is rightfully yours, don't refuse. You've done such a thing, what reward do you want?"
For an emperor, the most important thing is to have clear rewards and punishments; otherwise, it's hard to go far!
Randeng said solemnly, "Your Majesty, please do not do this. I wrote the declaration using Your Majesty's name and ideals. How can I claim credit for it? This is Your Majesty's divine authority, and has nothing to do with Randeng."
"It is only Randeng I have been following Your Majesty's teachings for a short time that I am unable to describe even a fraction of Your Majesty's virtues. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
"Hahaha..."
Donghua laughed heartily. Although he knew that Randeng was flattering him, he was still very happy. After all, he was Donghua an ordinary person, so how could he be immune to such flattery?
"Good, you've done a great job. I'll reward you after I've thought it over. But the declaration is urgent. You should arrange for it to be spread far and wide. I trust you to handle things."
Randeng bowed and said, "Your subject obeys the decree!"
"However, I humbly request Your Majesty to bestow a name upon the scroll, so that it may rightfully spread throughout the world and allow all people to bask in Your Majesty's grace!"
Donghua thought about it for a moment and realized that it made sense. He then said, "This declaration will be issued before the Purple Mansion sets off for war, so let it be called the Purple Mansion Declaration. Is that alright?"
"I will obey Your Majesty's decree!"
The Randeng was lit and the lamp was removed, but its silhouette remained in Donghua's heart.
"Randeng has accomplished such a great feat this time. It seems that all the promises he made before must be fulfilled, otherwise it would really be a bit unreasonable."
The great opportunity that Donghua mentioned is the Sea Calming Divine Beads. This spiritual treasure is only High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure and is not particularly precious. However, if it is combined with the Universe Ruler, it can open up the Twenty-Four Heavens.
Don't think that just because Donghua possesses the 216 Heavens of Purple and Green, the Twenty-Four Heavens are ordinary. They are anything but ordinary. Very few people can successfully open up their Inner World, let alone such a vast Heaven.
The original owner of this body was able to create such Cultivation Method after listening to the Dao at the Purple Sky Palace. He was truly exceptionally talented and deserved to be named the Head of Male Immortals by Hongjun.
Donghua's current 216 Heavens of Immortals and Demons are roughly equivalent to the power of 2,000 Realms, and this is not an illusory world, but a real one.
The Twenty-Four Heavens are also a real world, and in terms of magical power, they are absolutely unparalleled in the Primordial Wilderness world, and should not be underestimated in the slightest.
Moreover, in terms of magical power alone, given the same quantity, Donghua's power of the heavens might not necessarily be able to compare with that of the Twenty-Four Heavens.
