Discussions at the Zixiao Palace; Chaos in Peril

Inside the Purple Sky Palace, Donghua, Nuwa, and Hongjun discussed things and each gained something. However, to be precise, it was Hongjun was explaining and the other two were listening, since Hongjun's realm and knowledge were far superior to theirs.

"What exactly is this world? Fellow Daoist Yang Mei didn't elaborate, perhaps because of the distance, he couldn't transmit more information, only giving me a general location." After Hongjun finished speaking, he released Yang Mei's previous plea for help.

A tender green willow branch appeared before Donghua and Nuwa, but this single Willow Branch exerted immense pressure on Donghua. Judging from the oppressive aura emanating from it, Yang Mei 'Nuwa cultivation was definitely not low. Even if she was no match for Hongjun, she was certainly far stronger than the two of them.

"Master, if someone with such cultivation level needs to ask for help, are my senior sister and I sure we'll be helping instead of just throwing our lives away?" Donghua asked Hongjun helplessly.

Even Nuwa looked at Hongjun, clearly sharing the same thought. Although she couldn't discern Yang Mei's exact cultivation level, it was definitely beyond the Third Heaven.

Although she was Saint, after leaving the Primordial Wilderness, the blessings from the Heavenly Dao diminished considerably, and she was probably only at the second level of the Heavenly Realm.

Donghua goes without saying; his strength barely qualifies him as a first-level expert, placing him at the bottom of the Hun Yuan.

Hongjun didn't say much, but pointed a finger at the Willow Branch, and then a line of Dao characters emanated from the Willow Branch.

"I have discovered a new world, come and help me!"

Hongjun then said, "My original intention was to send Nuwa to investigate and see the true nature of this world, not to actually help Yang Mei."

"After all, based on this Willow Branch, I judge that Yang Mei's cultivation level should be at the sixth level. You would definitely not be of much help if you went there. And I am currently at a critical moment, as is the Primordial World, so I cannot leave."

"Besides, I can't quite figure out Yang Mei's thoughts either. He discovered this world either because he was truly outmatched and encountered danger, or because he had other motives involved."

Donghua thought for a moment and said, "Master, I think Yang Mei's intention is to seize that world for himself, so as to reach your level. After all, he used the Divine Dao Attain Hunyuan Dao, and he is still very dependent on the world. In the Primordial World, it is basically impossible for him to use the Divine Dao to suppress the immortal Immortal Dao. So only other worlds are possible."

Nuwa nodded and slowly said, "Junior brother's words make sense. I estimate that Yang Mei's intention is the same; he wants to take that world for himself. However, this is different from our ideals. As a result, we will be at odds with Yang Mei."

"Master, if it's just a matter of investigating, it shouldn't be a problem. But since this incident is so dangerous, I will go alone. Junior Brother Donghua doesn't need to go; after all, he hasn't yet Attain Hunyuan Dao. Just in case."

To be honest, Donghua's heart was pounding at this point. After all, it was just too dangerous. Deep down, he was still the same young man he used to be, afraid of dying!

He was less inclined to take risks if he could peacefully and steadily Attain Hunyuan Dao and gradually improve his strength. Call him unambitious or cowardly if you will, but he was simply afraid of death.

He felt he was better suited to the path of survival!

After listening to Nuwa's words, Hongjun thought for a moment and said, "I'd better go with you. We can look after each other, and seeing different worlds will also help his cultivation on the path to becoming an emperor. Perhaps Donghua really can catch up with me, or even surpass me, and step into the Third Heaven!"

Nuwa was deeply shocked. She had never imagined that Donghua held such a place in Hongjun's heart. Stepping into the Third Heaven in one step was something even she could not do, or rather, in the entire Primordial Wilderness, no one but Hongjun could have accomplished it.

After all, the Primordial World is only so big, and Hongjun has already taken away so much of the world's talent and fortune. It is difficult for others to achieve what Hongjun has accomplished. This matter involves talent, fortune, contributions to the world, and so on.

As the number one being in the Primordial Wilderness, Hongjun reaped all the benefits, which enabled him to step into the Third Heaven. Although Yang Mei Attain Hunyuan Dao earlier, he did so in the chaos, so he did not receive the blessing of heaven and earth.

The reason they were able to defeat Hongjun was because they had the upper hand and caught him off guard.

Donghua thought for a moment. Since Hongjun had already said so, he couldn't refuse any longer, so he bowed his head and said:

"Master, your disciple and senior sister are about to embark on a long journey, and we are truly reluctant to part with you. Could you perhaps provide us with something so that we may always admire your countenance and keep you in our hearts?"

Nuwa understood Donghua's implied meaning and immediately bowed her head, saying, "Please have mercy, Master!"

Hongjun chuckled helplessly, tapped the two of them with his whisk, and said unhappily, "When you travel, do you think I wouldn't provide you with items to save your lives? Am I such a stingy person?"

"No, no, Master is the best master in the entire Primordial Wilderness, no, the best master in the entire chaos. How could he bear to see my senior sister and me suffer?" Donghua quickly offered flattery. If he didn't flatter him now, when would he?

Hongjun laughed heartily upon hearing this, and said helplessly, "You naughty child, you are now destined to Attain Hunyuan Dao and become the Heavenly Emperor, yet you are still the same as before, not taking your status seriously."

Nuwa frowned slightly; she couldn't bring herself to say such a thing, but judging from Hongjun's expression, he clearly appreciated it.

She wanted to say something similar, but Hongjun stopped her immediately.

"Stop! Don't you dare follow your shameless junior brother's example and take out your magical treasures."

Nuwa breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that it was really difficult for her to say those words. She then immediately took out her magical treasures, dozens of which floated in front of her.

Hongjun glanced at Nuwa and thought, "Good heavens, none of my disciples are simple-minded. They're all so shameless. I wonder who they learned it from."

I asked you to offer up your spiritual treasures, and you offered up all of them.

Hongjun didn't say much. He stretched out his finger and touched the Red Embroidered Ball and the Heaven and Earth Cauldron, and immediately two different forces flowed into them.

"I imbued the Red Embroidered Ball with the Heavenly Dao Power the Primordial Wilderness Heavenly Dao, so even if you are in chaos, you can maintain the combat strength of the Third Heaven. I also left an avatar of mine in the Heaven and Earth Cauldron, which has the strength of the Sixth Heaven, but only the power to strike once, and can be used to save my life."

Nuwa exclaimed with delight, "Thank you, Master!"

Upon seeing this, Donghua took out the Heavenly Emperor Sword and the Twelve-grade Pure World White Lotus.

Hongjun also pointed twice, then said, "I have imbued the Heavenly Emperor Sword with the Heavenly Dao Power. You can use the Primordial Violet Qi and the Heavenly Book within your primordial spirit to mobilize it, thus gaining the combat power of the Third Heaven. There is also an avatar of mine within the White Lotus, used for self-preservation!"

Donghua exclaimed with delight, "Disciple thanks Master!"

Awesome! Hongjun is truly amazing. With these two methods, as long as I don't court death, this journey will be safe.

Nuwa, standing to the side, looked at Donghua and exclaimed in surprise, "Primordial Violet Qi? Where did you get Primordial Violet Qi from?"

Donghua jokingly said, "Are you allowed to have it, but I'm not allowed to have the Primordial Violet Qi?"

"No, that's not what I meant. I was asking where your Primordial Violet Qi came from. You should know that with the current strength of the Heavenly Dao, there are only a few strands of Primordial Violet Qi in total. It's impossible for it to appear out of thin air," Nuwa explained, then looked at Hongjun and Donghua.

"Could it be a gift from Master?"

Hongjun laughed and said, "It has nothing to do with me. I can't conjure up Primordial Violet Qi out of thin air."

Nuwa looked at Donghua and asked, "Since it wasn't given by you, Master, then it must be Hong Yun's Primordial Violet Qi. Did you steal his Primordial Violet Qi?"

"No, no, you couldn't have stolen his Primordial Violet Qi, otherwise you wouldn't have such a good relationship with Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun."

"Could it be that he gave it to you?"

Nuwa had just thought of this when she looked at Donghua in disbelief, as if this matter was beyond her comprehension.

Donghua smiled but did not answer the question. He did not know why Hong Yun had done what she did, but he did owe her a huge favor and a great deal of karma, and he did not know how to repay her.

Seeing that Donghua did not answer, Nuwa became even more convinced of this idea, but this was too much! There was actually someone like this who would voluntarily give up the Primordial Violet Qi; such a thing had never been heard of before!

"Master, now that things have been settled, we won't disturb your cultivation any longer. I'll go arrange things at the Purple Mansion, and we'll set off for Chaos in a hundred years!"

Hongjun nodded and said, "Yes, go. Be sure to be careful on this trip. Yang Mei is both trustworthy and untrustworthy!"

Donghua and Nuwa then left Purple Sky Palace. Nuwa went to Taisu Heaven, while Donghua went directly to the Primordial Wilderness and arrived at the Purple Mansion.

"That's roughly the situation. I'm about to leave the Primordial Wilderness once. During this time, everyone should stop attacking the Witch Clan, focus on absorbing the forces from the East and South, consolidating our base, developing the ideals of our Purple Mansion, and recruiting more people to join the Purple Mansion. Do you have any other questions?"

Inside the main hall, the Great Emperor— Donghua, West Queen Mother, Fuxi, and Purple Mansion— sat in high positions, and Donghua announced his intention to leave the Primordial Wilderness.

That's right, Fuxi has returned from the human race and has truly joined the Purple Mansion sequence. However, he has not yet been granted an Emperor's Seat, and this is only a matter of a battle.

After the battle, Fuxi will become the third, or even the second, figure Purple Mansion the Purple Mansion, and will become the third Great Emperor and Heavenly Venerable after Donghua and West Queen Mother.

After hearing Donghua's explanation, Shao Siming Tai Hua asked worriedly, "Brother, this journey is fraught with danger. Is it absolutely necessary? Could we wait until we defeat the Witch Clan and you have truly Attain Hunyuan Dao before we go?"

Donghua shook his head and said, "The time is not yet ripe to exterminate the Witch and Monster Two Clans. If we are not careful, the Purple Mansion will suffer heavy losses, and you will all be in danger of perishing. So it is better to wait and wait until I return, when everything will be ripe!"

Candle Dragon asked worriedly, "Your Majesty, after you leave the Primordial Wilderness, if the Witch and Demon Races launch a full-scale attack, how should we respond?"

Donghua smiled and said, "If it's just a minor skirmish or a small war, you can handle it yourselves. But if they dare to launch a full-scale attack, you don't need to do anything. Just call upon the Dao Ancestor. I'm going here for the sake of the Primordial World. How can my master sit idly by and watch the Purple Mansion be destroyed? There's no such logic in the world!"

There's absolutely no need to worry about this. If Donghua were to go out for the sake of the Primordial World and return to find that the Purple Mansion had been destroyed, Hongjun would truly have no face to see him again!

Seeing that everyone had nothing else to say, Donghua said, "This time I will go with the Saint Nuwa. The human race was created by Senior Sister Nuwa, and it is currently weak. If you can help them, you should also do so."

"Since there's nothing else, you may leave. Just focus on your cultivation for now, and when I return, I will embark on my grand undertaking of unification!"

Now that he has created an alibi, Purple Mansion should appear before the human race in the guise of a righteous and benevolent ruler, and help them overcome this calamity.

In this way, the human race will not only not hold a grudge against him, but will also be grateful to him.

"Was what I did really bad?"

However, considering that the matter was already irreversible and had to be taken, it didn't seem like a big deal.

After all, if humanity wants to rise, it cannot avoid countless calamities; he has merely brought the calamities forward and gathered the disasters together.

Strictly speaking, even without my own scheme, the human race in later generations would inevitably have experienced various calamities, perhaps even more severe than this one. After all, this calamity was my own doing, and with the help of the Purple Mansion and various Great Powers, the losses should be manageable.

"Brother, your cultivation level has now far surpassed mine. I can no longer keep up with you, nor can I help you in any way!"

After everyone had left, the West Queen Mother looked worried and lonely. They were Dao Companion and had promised to walk hand in hand on the Great Dao Path, but now Donghua had far surpassed her, a situation that made her very sad.

Donghua took West Queen Mother's hand, gently stroked her hair, and pulled her into his arms.

"You're overthinking things. You helped me immensely. Without you, how could I have peacefully pursued the Dao outside? Wouldn't I have had to stay in the Purple Mansion the whole time?"

"Besides, who says that Dao Companion have to have similar cultivation levels? Don't think so much. Focus on your cultivation. You should be close to breaking through to the Peak Quasi-Saint. The Heavenly Punishment Great Dao is a righteous path. In the future, you can carry out punishments on behalf of Heaven and even have the potential to Hun Yuan!"

After hearing this, the West Queen Mother slowly nodded. She knew that her cultivation of the Heavenly Punishment Great Dao would inevitably rise with the emergence of the Heavenly Punishment, and if she continued to perfect the Heavenly Punishment step by step, she would indeed have the potential to reach the Primordial Hun Yuan.

All of this was brought about by Donghua. The Heavenly Tribulation Banner may not be the most powerful, but in terms of function, it is in no way inferior to a supreme treasure, which has greatly helped her.

"Senior brother, you must be careful on this journey. The strength of that other world must be considerable, otherwise they wouldn't have asked Yang Mei to seek help from the Dao Ancestor. Moreover, you must be wary of Yang Mei. Even Nuwa cannot be completely trusted; she is very cunning..."

The West Queen Mother began to give him a long and detailed lecture, which sounded rather nagging. However, Donghua liked this situation very much. It really felt like home, with someone who cared about you. This was something that no amount of cultivation could buy.

"Junior sister, there's something I couldn't say in front of everyone before, but now I should tell you."

After Donghua finished speaking, he told West Queen Mother about his plans to help the human race. West Queen Mother had to know about this, otherwise, after he left, the Purple Mansion would not be able to control the extent of its assistance to the human race.

Upon hearing this, the West Queen Mother looked at Donghua in disbelief, then smiled and said, "I never imagined my brother would have such a side to him. But it's good this way. An emperor should be upright and honorable, but he also needs such cunning and treacherous thoughts. The combination of light and darkness is the way of the emperor!"

"I was worried before that my brother's methods were too upright and honorable, but now it seems I underestimated him."

Donghua smiled slightly and hugged West Queen Mother tightly. No matter what, hearing West Queen Mother say this made him feel much better.

"Junior sister, what do you think about us having a child? After all, such a large foundation as the Purple Mansion needs someone to inherit it. What do you think?"

The West Queen Mother's face instantly flushed red as she recalled her previous absurd encounter with Donghua.

"Alright, I wonder if my brother prefers a boy or a girl?"

Donghua thought for a moment and said, "A girl, I suppose. Just thinking about raising a valiant Empress is exciting!"

At their level of power, having a son or a daughter is not an issue at all, because they can have whatever kind of child they want.

"Okay, then let's have a girl!"

Upon hearing this, Donghua picked up the West Queen Mother and carried her into the main hall. After a short while, no sound was heard.

Because they were engaged in proper dual Dual Cultivation, their primordial spirits and the Great Dao were merging, Yin-Yang were giving birth to each other, and a magical power of creation permeated the entire hall.

A hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye, and at this moment Donghua and Nuwa are already moving forward in the vast chaos, one stepping on the Twelve-grade Pure World White Lotus, and the other stepping on the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

Directly in front of them, a tender green Willow Branch radiated light, guiding them forward.

As the two were traveling, Nuwa suddenly looked at Donghua and asked, "Junior brother, what are your thoughts on this trip?"

Donghua followed closely behind Willow Branch, shrugged, and said, "I have no opinion. I just want to observe this world, the cultivation levels of the beings within it, and how many are at the Hunyuan Realm. I have no other thoughts!"

"Does Junior Brother really have no interest in this world? This is a world as vast as the primordial Primordial Wilderness, a world that even Yang Mei coveted. How could it be simple? If we can obtain it, why should we worry about not reaching the same level as Master!" Nuwa coaxed Donghua, listing all the benefits.

Donghua smiled and asked, "I don't know about anything else, but I'll just ask one question: who between you and me could beat Yang Mei? Even if the two of us were tied together, we still couldn't beat him, so why bother with this?"

"But Yang Mei is currently trapped and only sought our help after encountering difficulties, which means he poses no threat to us. In that case, can we start planning our strategy for this world?" Nuwa said again.

"Senior sister, have you ever thought about this? If they can trap Yang Mei, why can't they solve our problems? If you want to go, go by yourself, but don't drag me into it. I can't afford to lose my life with you." Donghua didn't want to go crazy with Nuwa.

Seeing Donghua's reaction, Nuwa said no more, but quickened her pace, and the two of them traveled through the chaos like a streak of light.

The terrifying Chaos Qi Flow and storms had no effect on the two of them. There was no concept of Time and Space here, only a hazy, gray chaos.

The two didn't know how long they had been traveling, only that they were following the direction of the Willow Branch.

"Junior brother, look quickly! What's that ahead?" At a certain moment, Nuwa suddenly stopped and pointed ahead, saying.

Donghua's gaze followed the direction Nuwa pointed, where he saw an Eye of Chaos formed by a Chaos Storm standing there, seemingly a sentient being, absorbing the Chaos Qi Flow and intercepting all passing enemies.

"What should we do? Go around it or fight our way through?" Donghua asked in a deep voice. In fact, he preferred to go around it. The unknown Eye of Chaos could be felt from a distance, so it must be extraordinary.

Nuwa observed for a while before slowly saying, "This Eye of Chaos is of unknown size. We have no coordinates in the chaos, and we can easily get lost in it. The Willow Branch seems to only recognize this one direction, making it difficult to go around."

Donghua looked at the Willow Branch, his mind completely absorbed in it, and only then did he realize that the Willow Branch was only focused on this one direction. It was indeed difficult to find a way around it now, but going straight through this Eye of Chaos was far too dangerous.

Chaos is full of dangers. It's not the known enemies that are to be feared, but the unknown. One wrong move and you'll be buried in the chaos.

After thinking for a moment, Donghua still refused Nuwa's suggestion; he didn't want to die before even starting his mission.

"Let's take a detour. Once we get past this Eye of Chaos, the Willow Branch will guide us again, and then we can search for that world."

Nuwa smiled and said, "Junior brother, don't be afraid. This is a good Eye of Chaos to test our strength and the wonders of chaos."

"Walk!"

After Nuwa finished speaking, she activated the Map of Mountains and Rivers, raised the Heaven and Earth Cauldron above her head, and charged towards the Eye of Chaos with the Red Embroidery Saber in her hand.

Donghua tried to stop Nuwa, but it was too late. He could only rush over with Nuwa, since there was only one Willow Branch, and the two were destined to be inseparable.

As soon as the two arrived near the Eye of Chaos, a powerful storm struck, threatening to tear them apart, or rather, to tear apart everything that came near, even though it had no consciousness of its own.

Donghua and Nuwa exchanged a glance, then attacked simultaneously. Holding the Heavenly Emperor Sword in their hands, they unleashed a massive sword aura that instantly dispersed the storm.

Nuwa did the same, unleashing two sword beams that tore open a gash.

"Together?"

"Good!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Nuwa put away the Map of Mountains and Rivers, jumped onto Donghua's lotus platform, and the two of them rushed into the Eye of Chaos in an instant. As soon as they entered the eye, a powerful devouring force came from them.

According to Donghua's assessment, this devouring power was enough to tear apart any Quasi-Saint.

Nuwa took out Willow Branch, determined a direction, and pointed with her Red Embroidery Saber: "There!"

They then put away the Willow Branch and headed straight in that direction. In the Eye of Chaos, it was pitch black, with only the purifying light emanating from the Pure World White Lotus and the Seven-Colored Divine Light emanating from the Precious Lotus Lamp illuminating the surroundings and resisting the erosion of the chaos.

The two continued to travel through the Eye of Chaos, not knowing how long they had been walking, only that they were moving in one direction.

The next moment, a hazy gray ball of light attacked, and Donghua was immediately shocked because he sensed the aura of death emanating from it, something he was not capable of dealing with.

Nuwa, standing to the side, also had a solemn expression. She then activated the Great Dao, imbuing the Precious Lotus Lamp with the Creation Divine Light, and swung her Red Embroidery Saber, unleashing a blade of light.

The blade's edge and the ball of light collided, producing a deafening crash that echoed through the chaos.

"This ball of light possesses the power of the Second Heaven. Junior Brother, activate the White Lotus and watch over the surroundings. I'll clear the way ahead!"

Donghua did not hesitate. Under these circumstances, he did not want to say a word more. He empowered the white lotus with his powerful magic, and the Heavenly Emperor Dharma Form appeared, exuding the majestic Emperor Dao Power.

The two moved forward quickly again, with Nuwa always standing in front to clear the way and block the Chaos Qi Flow ahead. Every now and then, any stray air currents were destroyed and pulverized by Donghua and the Pure World White Lotus.

The two kept repeating the same thing, and it's unclear how long they traveled.

Until a certain moment, a stream of air appeared before them, just like the previous ball of light. From a distance, its number was immeasurable.

Upon seeing this, Donghua involuntarily swallowed. This place was indeed extremely dangerous; it was truly life-threatening. He shouldn't have come in with that woman, Nuwa.

"Junior brother, this should be the central location of the Eye of Chaos. Be extremely careful. If you cannot withstand it, you can use the Heavenly Dao Power!"

Nuwa focused intently, gripping the Red Embroidery Saber tightly, Heaven and Earth Cauldron frantically released its Qiankun energy to protect the two of them.

Donghua knew that what followed was a tough battle; failing to get out meant death, and complaining was useless. All problems could be solved once they were out.
