Donghua Slaying the Corpse

Donghua saw Fuxi's difficulty and understood that Ci Tie's actions were not Fuxi's intention.

Without another word, he prepared to act directly and eliminate Ci Tie.

This time, he was truly enraged. While he grieved Yuan Xiong's death, he wouldn't have acted for him, as their bond wasn't deep.

But Ci Tie actually attacked Xiong Er. This was something he couldn't tolerate. If he didn't do something, did they really think Donghua was a pushover?

Just as Donghua was about to strike down Ci Tie, Xiong Er stood up and called out:

"Great God!"

Donghua stopped and looked at Xiong Er. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Xiong Er say:

"Great God, I know you're acting for me, but I want to handle this revenge myself."

The words Donghua had intended to say were stifled. At this moment, he felt a sense of frustration.

He had been in the Primordial World for so long, never having disputes with anyone, only wanting to cultivate in peace and seek the Hunyuan Dao.

Today, he had become enraged, only to be stopped by this fellow Xiong Er. He had nowhere to vent his anger.

Donghua thought about it and ultimately said nothing.

However, upon hearing Xiong Er's words, Fuxi's eyes lit up. He exclaimed in his heart, "Good child, good child, truly a good child. If there's an opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay you."

Xiong Er's single sentence had resolved Fuxi's predicament. As long as Ci Tie didn't die today, how he died later wouldn't matter.

The Demon God Race said nothing. The Heavenly Court had already begun to withdraw its troops, and they didn't want any more trouble.

Donghua glanced at Xiong Er, nodded, and said, "This child, I, Donghua, will protect. If the Heavenly Court dares to bully the weak again, my Pure Yang Sword will not agree."

With a wave of his right hand, he collected Yuan Xiong's corpse and led Xiong Er and the others away from the battlefield.

The Yao Race on the eastern battlefield also began to withdraw. Soon, no one from the Yao Race remained on the battlefield.

Donghua brought Xiong Er to the Iron Eater Beast tribe.

Then, without another word, he returned to his previous residence.

He began to cultivate. Today's actions had caused his Three Corpses to riot, giving him new insights into Slaying the Corpse.

He had always thought he would slay his Goodness Corpse first, but unexpectedly, his Evil Corpse had stirred today.

The furious action today also made Donghua understand many things. Kindness was definitely not the mainstream in the Primordial World; this was no longer Earth.

He thought of Ancestor Hongyun, who could be considered the kindest person in the Primordial World, yet he still met his demise.

He felt that the current Primordial World was too backward and lacked order.

The Primordial World should have order, Heaven and Earth should have a heart, not just endless killing and fighting. If it continued like this, the ultimate destination of this world would be annihilation.

Donghua immersed himself in the River of Destiny, beginning to comprehend Slaying the Corpse.

Outside, Shao Siming and Qing Xuan kept watch.

In the River of Destiny, the previously inseparable, dense obsessions of Goodness and Evil were now clearly distinct.

Donghua began to guide the evil thoughts to gather together. Slowly, he overcame all the evil thoughts from his previous life. After all, as a descendant of red, how much evil could he have?

Then came the evil thoughts of his original body, all the evil thoughts that had gathered since he took form and emerged.

From the Dragon-Han Period, the evil towards the Fierce Beasts. This had already been overcome when Donghua annihilated Taotie.

The evil towards the Dragon Clan, the Mo Race, the Yao Race. There was even evil towards Hongyun, which Donghua truly hadn't expected. However, rather than evil thoughts, it was more like jealousy.

But jealousy belonged to evil thoughts.

There were many other evil thoughts towards others. It could be said that most of the people Donghua knew, he harbored evil thoughts towards them.

Perhaps this was what philosophy called: everyone has a demon in their heart.

Taking advantage of this riot of his Three Corpses, Donghua gathered all the evil thoughts together and overcame them bit by bit.

Overcoming these evil thoughts did not mean Donghua would no longer have evil, but rather that he could face this evil directly, and evil would no longer dominate his personality.

This was in line with the Great Dao and would allow him to better comprehend the Hunyuan Great Dao.

As Donghua concentrated and the overcome evil thoughts increased, those evil thoughts began to transform into human figures.

In reality, Donghua's figure began to become illusory, and his form suddenly changed.

At one moment, he was in black clothes and black hair; at another, he was a purple and white figure, alternating between the two.

It looked incredibly magical.

Finally, at a certain moment, the image froze and stopped changing.

At this time, Donghua was dressed in black, even his iconic white hair was black. His eyes lacked light, only darkness, and then they tightly closed.

Suddenly, at a certain moment, Donghua opened his eyes, took out the Jingyang Bell, and shouted.

"Slay!"

Black light from his entire body converged towards the Jingyang Bell.

The Jingyang Bell gradually deformed. The Great Dao Law and innate spiritual light contained within it began to stir and transform, actively absorbing the surging black airflow.

After a short while, the black torrent stopped outputting, and Donghua once again became a purple and white figure.

The Jingyang Bell absorbed the malevolent thoughts and transformed into a black figure, standing before him.

It then bowed to Donghua, "Jingyang greets my true self!"

Donghua said nothing, but burst into laughter.

"It feels truly wondrous to speak with myself!"

He flicked a finger at the black man, and the figure immediately reverted to the Jingyang Bell, falling into his hand. With another thought, it transformed back into his Evil Corpse, Jingyang.

He sighed inwardly, "The method of the Three Corpses is truly miraculous. My Teacher is incredibly talented!"

At this moment, Donghua's cultivation remained at the early stage of Quasi-Saint, not yet mid-stage.

Slaying the Corpse was a method of proving the Dao, a path to enlightenment. It did not directly increase one's cultivation.

Instead, it brought one closer to the Dao, enhancing Dao Realm cultivation, purifying the Dao Heart, freeing it from worldly disturbances, and allowing for better comprehension of Hunyuan.

Donghua felt his cultivation. It was at the peak of the early stage. Such a level of cultivation was absolutely top-tier in the current Primordial World, ranking among the very highest.

This time, the act of Slaying the Corpse had come about inexplicably; he hadn't expected it himself.

"Truly, the Dao is the most profound, mysterious and subtle, the gateway to all wonders!"

Donghua rose and left the bamboo house.

Shao Siming and Tai Hua were waiting outside.

"Brother."

Shao Siming saw Donghua emerge and happily stepped forward.

Shao Siming and Tai Hua sensed Donghua's cultivation and excitedly said, "Brother, have you broken through?"

Donghua nodded, then shook his head.

"I haven't broken through, but it's still a significant advancement!"

"How long have I been in seclusion?"

Tai Hua replied, "Brother, you've been in seclusion for a full three thousand years this time."

That was about right. After all, it was Slaying the Corpse; it wasn't that easy!

He recalled what happened before he entered seclusion. It was the first time he had acted impulsively since arriving in the Primordial World. That first impulse had nearly led him into conflict with the Demon Race Heavenly Court.

If he had truly killed the Demon God Ci Tie back then, it would have brought immense trouble, inevitably leading to a war with the Heavenly Court in the future.

Thinking of this, Donghua asked, "How is the Iron Eater Beast tribe now? And how is Xiong Er?"

Tai Hua explained, "While Brother was in seclusion, the Heavenly Court withdrew its troops from the Primordial World continent. The Demon God Race swiftly occupied various continents: Ju Mang in the East, Ru Shou in the West, Gong Gong in the North, Zhu Rong in the South, and Houtu in the Center."

"The remaining Demon Gods scattered across various regions, with Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin guarding the Demon God Hall."

"The Iron Eater Beast tribe has relocated back to the Houtu tribe. Xiong Er, no, he should be called Yuan Zhen now, has become the new tribal chief of the Iron Eater Beasts."

"However, Yuan Zhen is not managing the tribe's affairs. He will only gain full authority after he breaks through to Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal."

"Yuan Zhen hasn't left; he's been waiting here for you to emerge from seclusion."

Donghua nodded, indicating he understood.

"The conflicts in the Primordial World will only increase in the future. It won't be of much help to your cultivation to travel the Primordial World with me now. You should return to Purple Mansion Continent and cultivate diligently."

Shao Siming wanted to say something, but seeing Donghua's serious expression, she thought for a moment before nodding.

This journey traveling the Primordial World with the Imperial Sovereign had yielded great rewards. Firstly, her cultivation had broken through to the peak of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, and she had found her own Dao.

She had also recognized the Imperial Sovereign as her brother; she should be content.

Now was the time to return to Purple Mansion, consolidate her cultivation, and reorganize her forces.

To assist her brother in achieving his great cause.

Speaking of helping the Imperial Sovereign achieve his great cause, she thought of her recent conversation with the Iron Eater Beast tribe.

Leveraging the Imperial Sovereign's immense kindness to the Iron Eater Beast tribe, the two sides had reached an agreement: the Iron Eater Beast tribe and Purple Mansion would form an alliance, which would not be publicly announced.

This could be considered another form of gain.

Shao Siming and Tai Hua said, "Brother, please take care."

Donghua nodded and said, "When you return, urge the beings of the Three Islands not to cause trouble."

Tai Hua and Shao Siming bowed and took their leave.

ps: Officially signed, stable updates will follow. But signing is just the beginning. I hope everyone will continue to support Wangyue.
