In the Primordial World, as Donghua broke through the chasm of the long river and crossed the other side of destiny, the entire Primordial World trembled, then returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

However, three people still sensed the change: Nuwa, Taishang, and Jieyin.

What was unexpected was that, following Taishang, the fourth person in Primordial Wilderness Quasi-Saint realm was not Yuanshi Tongtian, but Jieyin.

Therefore, in the Primordial Wilderness today, it's not just Donghua whose cultivation is improving; others are doing the same. This is the struggle for the Great Dao, where one either advances or falls behind.

Because while you're standing still, others might not be.

When others make progress while you remain stagnant, it's tantamount to regressing.

Nuwa was the first person to perceive the changes in the River of Destiny, because she was Saint, how could such a major event as the Primordial Wilderness have escaped her notice?

As for Taishang and Jieyin, they sensed it entirely through their own cultivation. After all, both of them have now broken through to the Quasi-Saint realm, and are very sensitive to the changes in the River of Destiny.

In the Taisu Heaven, Nuwa gazed at the turbulent River of Destiny, her red lips slightly parted, and she murmured, "Donghua, do you really want to escape my understanding of you? To transcend the River of Destiny before even Attain Hunyuan Dao, aren't you afraid that if you can't break free of these shackles, you'll be devoured by the River of Destiny?"

Forcibly breaking free from the shackles of fate is no simple matter; the danger involved is no less Attain Hunyuan Dao that of attaining the Primordial Chaos realm. After all, it requires Heaven Breaker, and one careless move could result in a backlash from the River of Destiny.

The most serious consequence is that one's destiny is disrupted by the long river of time, forcibly altering the existing trajectory of fate. In other words, something that was originally easy to accomplish becomes very complicated, or even a dead end.

"It seems I also need to work harder on my cultivation. After this guy attains enlightenment, he'll definitely want to avenge the slap he received back then."

Nuwa knew very well that Donghua's terror lay not in his cultivation level, but in his accumulated power. Once he broke through to the Hunyuan Hun Yuan, coupled with the blessing of Innate Supreme Treasure, she would definitely be no match for him.

Nuwa closed her eyes slightly, her mind instantly immersed in cultivation, and a golden Dharma image appeared behind her, with a human body and a snake tail.

It's actually the path of the emperor!

It seems that when the two Dual Cultivation, they were both aiming for each other's main path. Donghua studied Nuwa's Creation Great Dao, while Nuwa studied Donghua's Dao of Emperor. The two of them were truly cunning.

Perfect paths appeared in the Wa Huang Palace, gradually spreading into the Taisu Heaven, and then emanating into the Chaos. Countless Chaos Qi then transformed into Innate Spiritual Qi, and finally into Hun Yuan Energy.

On Kunlun Mountain, the Three Pure Ones each sat in their respective places, preaching to their disciples. Only Xuandu was preaching under the Taishang One's seat, wearing a purple Taiji Daoist Robe. All his magical power had been transformed into the power of the Taiqing Ones, and the spiritual aura around him was even stronger than before.

Yuanshi also had several disciples, including Guangchengzi, Chijingzi, Juliusun, Huang Long, Taiyi Zhenren, and Yuding Zhenren.

Apart from Antarctica, the remaining six are all Golden Immortal. Among them, Guangchengzi and Chijingzi are human, especially Guangchengzi, who is one of the three thousand humans created by Nuwa herself, and has a very high aptitude for cultivation.

Tongtian had a large number of followers, numbering over a thousand, and their backgrounds were quite diverse, though most were demons. However, he only had three direct disciples: Duobao, Jin Ling, and Wudang.

Just as the three were preaching, Taishang suddenly stopped, as if he was thinking about something. Tongtian and Yuanshi also stopped, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Taishang.

After some contemplation, Taishang's spiritual eyes traversed endless time and space, where destiny and law intertwined in the void, and the power of the Great Dao Rules formed Yin-Yang Taiji, spanning the Sky Vault.

After a series of profound deductions Taishang stopped his actions.

"Brother, has something happened?" Yuanshi asked, puzzled.

The Taishang nodded and said, "Just now, the River of Destiny trembled. After calculation, it turns out that Donghua has transcended the River of Destiny. It's truly incredible. He hasn't even attained the Primordial Chaos Hun Yuan yet, but he has already transcended the River of Destiny. Amazing!"

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi and Tongtian were both shocked, but the disciples below did not understand the key point.

Tongtian manifested the Great Dao Power, his eyes filled with unwavering determination.

"It seems we all need to work harder; we can't let Junior Brother Donghua and Junior Sister Nuwa surpass us by too much."

Judging from the spiritual aura surrounding Tongtian, he is clearly close to breaking through to the Quasi-Saint realm.

Upon hearing the news about Donghua, Jin Ling's ears twitched, and a hint of longing appeared in her bright eyes. She still couldn't forget Donghua, who had been watching over her closely from Kunlun Mountain.

I miss it a little!

Yuanshi said proudly, "Great things come from small beginnings. Donghua has been accumulating the Great Dao, while we were transformed from the Pangu's Primordial Spirit, and we already possess the merit of creating the world. Our accumulation process is less than his, and I believe we will soon catch up with his cultivation level."

The Three Pure Ones were very confident about this, after all, they were extremely blessed by nature, born with the merit of creation, which they had not used when breaking through realms before, waiting to use it when breaking through to the Primordial Hun Yuan and becoming Saint.

After all, good steel should be used where it's most needed!

The Taishang slowly said, "Since the beginning of the Primordial Wilderness world, it can be divided into Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos is insignificant, the Earth path is virtuous, and the Heavenly Dao path is supreme. Today, the Heavenly Dao is basically complete, while the Man path is only missing the unification of the Primordial Wilderness and the birth of a supreme Heavenly Emperor to unite all living beings. I think that should be Donghua."

"And the Underground Path should be truly emerging soon. I previously guessed that it would be with Zhen Yuanzi, after all, he possesses the Underground Path's supreme treasure, the Earth Book. But now it seems that it shouldn't be with him; it might be with Houtu."

Yuanshi asked doubtfully, "Elder brother, the human realm is insignificant yet possesses limitless potential. The power of all living beings can even influence the Heavenly Dao. The true position of the Heavenly Dao Heavenly Emperor Position is both a position of destiny under the Heavenly Dao and the highest position of humanity. Can Donghua truly Attain Heavenly Emperor Position? Or rather, does such a position even exist? Doesn't this contradict the position of Saint?"

Taishang affirmed, "Since the beginning of the world, although no one has successfully attained the position of Heavenly Emperor, it does theoretically exist. Moreover, the position of Heavenly Emperor is not only a position in the Heavenly and Human realms, but also a position in the Earthly realm. This is why Old Ancestor Kunwu failed back then; how could one attain the true Heavenly Emperor Position without mastering the Earthly realm?"

"As for the position of Saint, it is also a position in the Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos, Act as Heaven's Emissary, and Man. In terms of the Heavenly Dao Path, it is to act as the representative of Heaven; in terms of the Manly Path, it is to educate and enlighten all living beings; and in terms of the Earthly Path, it is to protect."

"As for the Heavenly Emperor's position, in relation to the Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos, Earth, and Humanity, it only involves management; he is the manager, maintainer, and creator of all this order."

"Therefore, the positions of Saint and the Heavenly Emperor have similarities and differences!"

As Taishang finished speaking, the scene fell silent, and Tongtian and Yuanshi did not ask any further questions.

"It seems we'll have to fight it out eventually!"

Tongtian murmured something, then closed his eyes and continued his sermon.

Within the River of Destiny, or more precisely, outside the River of Destiny, for Donghua's figure has transcended the river, like eternity, overlooking the river, sacred and majestic.

Just after Donghua broke through the long river, he could clearly feel the shackles that the Primordial World had placed on him disappearing, and the boundless power of destiny flew out from the long river and entered Donghua's body.

Then, strange phenomena continued to appear along the river. A blazing white light illuminated the entire river, and all the darkness dissipated.

The white light faded, and the world and the long river underwent another change. Nine-colored light spread throughout the world, and a magnificent Heavenly Emperor Dharma Form appeared in the Primordial World and the Myriad Worlds.

"Is this what it feels like to be detached?"

Donghua felt the joy emanating from the magical power within his body and from the Great Dao, as if he could reach any corner of the Primordial Wilderness with a mere thought.

With a mere gesture, one can orchestrate the trajectory of another's destiny, altering a person's entire life; a single thought can illuminate the myriad beings.

It's no exaggeration to say that Donghua could kill a Daluo Golden Immortal with just a glance.

Because in the instant Donghua looked at them, the other person's fate had already changed. All he had to do was sever their destiny, leaving them adrift and rootless.

"This is why, Below Hunyuan, all are but ants."

"Because Hun Yuan can control the fate of others, the two are simply incomparable."

Donghua's mind returned to the Jingyang Palace, and all the strange phenomena in the world disappeared.

"Only the Witch Clan remains. At that time, they can Attain Hunyuan Dao and achieve the throne of the Heavenly Emperor."

Donghua pointed forward, Five Directions Innate Banners appeared, containing the sealed fragments of the Chaos Bell, the Great Dao, and the power of origin.

Looking at these things before him, Donghua felt a surge of joy. After all, whether the Chaos Bell was broken or not was not important; what mattered was its Great Dao and origin.

As long as these two things exist, the Chaos Bell can be reborn. What he shattered back then was merely the body of the Chaos Bell manifested by the Great Dao.

In other words, as long as the Great Dao and the power of origin exist, even if these two are attached to an ordinary stone, that stone can become Innate Supreme Treasure.

The main reason was that Taiyi was seriously injured at the time; otherwise, as the master of the Chaos Bell, he could have restored Chaos Bell with a single thought, and it would never have truly shattered.

But now that Taiyi has perished, the Chaos Bell has naturally fallen into Donghua's hands. He has coveted this treasure for a long time. When it was in Taiyi's possession, he felt it was far beyond what was allowed, but now that it's in his own hands, he'll go all out to make it even better, preferably by strengthening it further.

The seal on the Five Directions Innate Banners was broken, and fragments of the Chaos Bell, the Great Dao, and the power of origin appeared before them.

Donghua did not restore the Chaos Bell, but instead extracted the Great Dao and the power of origin contained within it and finally fused them back together.

After doing all this, Donghua looked up at the sky, and a Divine Sense traversed endless time and space, crossed the Thirty-Three Heavens, passed the Nine Heavens, and descended into the chaos.

"Senior Sister Nuwa, may I borrow the Heaven and Earth Cauldron?"

Although his Hunyuan Cauldron could also refine the fragments of the Chaos Bell, it was ultimately not as perfect as the Heaven and Earth Cauldron.

In the realm of weapon crafting, the Heaven and Earth Cauldron is the ultimate treasure!

Not long after, a voice echoed from the Chaos Taisu Heaven: "Approved!"

As the words fell, the Heaven and Earth Cauldron flew out of the Taisu Heaven, traversed the chaos, and landed in Donghua's hands.

"Thank you so much, Senior Sister!"

His Divine Sense attached itself to the Heaven and Earth Cauldron and returned to the Purple Mansion in the East Sea.

Donghua looked at the Heaven and Earth Cauldron before him and smiled with delight. Now everything was truly ready.

Then, the Pure Yang True Fire surged, and the Heaven and Earth Cauldron began to operate, with the two energies of Qiankun and the Hunyuan Power permeating the cauldron.

As time passed, the Heaven and Earth Cauldron reached its peak, and then all the fragments of the Chaos Bell were placed inside, and it began to be forged with true fire.

This time, however, they used the Fire of Rules instead of ordinary true fire, which was the only way to truly refine the fragments of the Chaos Bell.

In fact, the fire of rules is not real fire, but the embodiment of rules; it can take any form.

Like water, the highest good is like water!

Fire, to boil the sea and burn the heavens!

Time slowly passed as the true fire burned, and after eighty-one years of forging, the fragments of the Chaos Bell were finally melted and turned into a liquid state.

At this moment, Donghua took out the Jingyang Bell, his companion spiritual treasure and the vessel for the Evil Corpse. His real purpose was to upgrade the Jingyang Bell to a higher level.

In the blink of a Donghua, the Jingyang Bell disintegrated, and the power of the Great Dao and the Origin spread out.

Then, the fragments of the Jingyang Bell were placed into the Heaven and Earth Cauldron, beginning the long process of forging.

After the Jingyang Bell was incinerated, he began to merge the two.

Under Donghua's guidance, the liquids burned from the Chaos Bell and Jingyang Bell began to re-merge within the Heaven and Earth Cauldron.

Two similar yet distinct forces were drawn together and merged, and at this moment, the Heaven and Earth Cauldron began to play its true role.

The innate energy generated by the Heaven and Earth Cauldron causes the two to merge into an innate state, rather than an acquired form.

As time passed, a small bronze bell appeared inside the Heaven and Earth Cauldron.

"It's done!"

Seeing this, Donghua. The most crucial step had finally been completed. All that remained was to fuse the original Dao and source power of the Jingyang Bell back into it.

This was originally the most difficult step, but with Donghua's current cultivation level in the Great Dao, it was actually the simplest, and he could say it was without any pressure.

Under Donghua's guidance, the Great Dao and origin of the Jingyang Bell itself began to gradually merge with the new Jingyang Bell body.

As the Great Dao Power was integrated, the Jingyang Bell began to look ancient, and Great Dao Inscription began to appear on its surface.

When all the Great Dao Power was integrated into it, the Great Dao Inscription was completed.

At this moment, Donghua once again infused the Jingyang Bell with its original power, and then took out some Innate Purple Qi and Chaos Source Qi, and poured them all into the Jingyang Bell.

The fire of the Great Dao Rules burned within the Heaven and Earth Cauldron, Jingyang Bell continuously emitted trembling sounds.

The bell's sound is crisp and melodious!

The Jingyang Bell gradually merged with the Flame of Rules, and a purple sun emerged within the Heaven and Earth Cauldron.

"When!"

With a tolling of a bell, all the flames of rules vanished, and the Jingyang Bell was reborn from the ashes.

It flew out of the Heaven and Earth Cauldron and hovered in the main hall, its body exuding the Great Dao Power, and its Daoist charm emanating as if it were a tangible substance.

Donghua reached out, and the Jingyang Bell landed in his hand. With his Divine Sense, all the information from the Jingyang Bell was transmitted to him.

"Top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure!"

At this moment, the Jingyang Bell was upgraded to Top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure, and it was not weak among Top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Donghua was very satisfied with the result. He had never thought about upgrading the Jingyang Bell to a supreme treasure, as that was unrealistic unless he could integrate all the Innate Purple Qi and Chaos Source Qi he possessed into it.

Perhaps only by integrating it into a complete Great Dao can it become Innate Supreme Treasure.

It's only a possibility!

After all, integrating into a complete Great Dao is by no means easy; it's not something you can achieve simply by cultivating a Great Dao to perfection.

Unless you are the true Dao Master, the one who governs this Dao, it is impossible for you to do so.

In fact, it is still possible for Donghua to refine an Innate Supreme Treasure himself, which is Innate Supreme Treasure related to the Eight Trigrams, but there are too many things required for this.

It's simply not worth it!

Moreover, to refine Innate Supreme Treasure, one must also consider the right timing, where the Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos interact and the Great Dao coexists.

So it's really too difficult!

This is why there are many Top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure, but only a handful of Innate Supreme Treasure.

Even Donghua's Innate Supreme Treasure, the Heavenly Emperor Sword, was 80% completed by Hongjun, leaving Donghua with only 20%. Even so, Donghua still had to expend a great deal of effort to truly complete the Heavenly Emperor Sword.

The primal power used, the sharpening of the sword, and the Three Books of Heaven, Earth, and Man —none of these were easy tasks.

Donghua's thoughts gradually returned, and he gently flicked the Jingyang Bell with his finger.

The Jingyang Bell vibrated and instantly transformed into the Evil Corpse Jingyang, also known as the Demon Emperor, the Great Freedom Sky Demon.

"Greetings, Your Excellency!"

Donghua chuckled softly and said, "No need for formalities. We are one. How is the situation in the Outer Demonic Realm?"

The Outer Demonic Realm is also something Donghua can't forget. After all, Hongjun once said that immortals and demons cannot coexist, and the demon realm will soon attack the Primordial Wilderness, wanting to rule the world and seize control of Primordial Wilderness power.

The Great Freedom Sky Demon said directly, "Ever since Luohu transformed into the Heaven of the Demonic Realm, Di Shitian has been in charge of the Demon Realm. With the help of three thousand Heavenly Demons, he has completely unified the Demon Realm, and his strength is increasing day by day. In any case, I am no match for him at the moment."

"Of course, he also has rivals. Whether it's me, or the Heavenly Demons transformed from Taishang, Yuanshi, Nuwa, and Minghe, they are all trying to diminish his power, each ruling a region in the demon realm."

"The specific identity of the demonic entity needs to be determined by examining one's own memories; it's too early to explain in a short time. However, the strength of the demon realm is growing rapidly."

After listening for a moment, Donghua directly controlled the Evil Corpse and digested all its memories from the past few years.

I also understand the current situation in the Demon Realm!

"If you return to the Demon Realm, you can join forces with Taishang, Yuanshi, Nuwa, and others to deal with Di Shitian first, making his life difficult, and also preventing Luohu from returning easily!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After speaking, the Great Freedom Sky Demon transformed into a streak of light and disappeared from the Jingyang Palace.

Donghua murmured, "Di Shitian, this is really interesting. Di Jun, you are truly a talent. Even as Di Shitian Di Jun, who is merely a Divine Sense reincarnated, you still possess such abilities."

In fact, Di Jun is Di Jun, Di Shitian is Di Shitian; they are not the same person at all. In fact, he is not even the reincarnation of Di Jun.

Di Shitian was merely a new being created by Luohu within Di Jun's body; he was a true demon.

Donghua shook his head and stopped paying attention to these things. After all, it was still a long way off for the Demon Realm to have the strength to compete with the immortals and Immortals and Gods. Moreover, once he became the Heavenly Emperor, the demons would also have to be under his rule.

It has to be!

Donghua looked at the Chaos Bell Dao and the power of origin floating in front of him and smiled.

The six sages of the Primordial Wilderness in later generations each had their own supreme treasures for attaining enlightenment: Tongtian's Qingping Sword, Yuanshi's Jade Ruyi, Taishang's Flat Staff and Whisk, Zhunti's Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, Jieyin's Divine Banner, and Nuwa's Red Embroidered Ball.

Although these treasures are not supreme treasures, in the hands of the Six Sages they are no weaker than supreme treasures, and may even be stronger.

Sometimes, the best spiritual treasure isn't necessarily the one with the highest level; rather, it's the one that suits your individual needs.

And the Heavenly Emperor Sword will become his ultimate treasure for proving his Dao!

What he lacks now is a supreme treasure to suppress his fortune.

Although the Dragon Head Golden Staff and the Kongtong Seal are both Destiny Spiritual Treasure, once he ascends to the Heavenly Emperor Position and takes control of the Three Realms, they will be somewhat lacking. The immense fortune he will have is difficult to suppress with just these two spiritual treasures.

In fact, he possesses many magical treasures capable of suppressing fortune, such as the Pure World White Lotus and the Five Directions Innate Banners.

But where can you find Innate Supreme Treasure to suppress your fortune?

What he needs to do now is to use the Great Dao and the power of origin of the Chaos Bell to refine a treasure that can suppress the fortune of his Heavenly Court in the future.

In other words, it's like giving the Chaos Bell a fresh new look!

The treasure is still the same treasure, only it's not called the Chaos Bell anymore, just like how the Chaos Bell was called the Eastern Emperor in Taiyi's hands.

Donghua took out the Dragon Head Golden Staff, Destiny Spiritual Treasure bestowed upon him by Hongjun when he was appointed the Head of Male Immortals.

Immediately, a thought arose, the Dragon Head Golden Staff broke, and the Great Dao Power and the power of origin manifested.

The immense fortune of the Purple Mansion dissipated, transforming into a Golden Dragon that coiled within the main hall.

In just a moment, some of the Luck Power dissipated, Donghua's eyes turned cold, and the Great Dao appeared around him.

"Town!"

His mouth holds the law of heaven!

The power of the Great Dao Rules emerged, Kongtong Seal transformed into a massive disc, suppressing the Purple Mansion Destiny and Fortune once more.

Then Donghua once again summoned the Heaven and Earth Cauldron, burning the original form of the Dragon Head Golden Staff. Subsequently, the Emperor Dao Power emerged, refining it into the form of a seal.

The addition of Innate Purple Qi and Chaos Source Qi enhances the seal's condition and attributes.

He then refined the Great Dao and the power of origin of the Dragon Head Golden Staff once again and integrated them into the seal.

However, this time, the Great Dao and Origin of the Dragon Head Golden Staff are not in a dominant position, but rather in a supporting one.

With the integration of the Great Dao and the power of origin, the seal exhibits a state of nine dragons intertwined and spiraling.

Donghua absorbed the Great Dao and the power of origin from the Chaos Bell and infused them into the seal.

This time, it didn't take much effort for the Great Dao and the power of origin of the Chaos Bell to be integrated into it.

The seal instantly emitted boundless light, illuminating the Primordial World, causing the Heaven Realm, the earth, Myriad Worlds, the River of Time, and the River of Destiny to tremble.

Above the nine heavens, the Three Thousand Great Daos manifested!

Exaggerated and extravagant!

Golden Lotuses Springing from the Earth!

The Star Dou radiate boundless light.

Various strange phenomena were digested in the Primordial Wilderness, celebrating the rebirth of the Chaos Bell, a supreme treasure of creation.

This creation treasure, the Chaos Bell, used to suppress the primordial chaos—that is, to suppress the River of Time and the River of Destiny, Star Dou— has reappeared in the Primordial Wilderness!

This time, however, it can no longer be called the Chaos Bell.

The treasure is still the same treasure!

The functions are still the same!

The Great Way remains the same!

The origin is still the same origin!

But it's not called the Chaos Bell; it's called the Heavenly Emperor Seal, a "Chaos Bell" that belongs exclusively to Donghua!

Donghua's skin change was a success!

From now on, whoever comes, he will not be the Chaos Bell, but the Heavenly Emperor Seal.

Donghua did this to sever the connection between the Chaos Bell and the Three Pure Ones, especially the connection with Tongtian.

The Chaos Bell was originally left to Tongtian by Pangu, later obtained by Taiyi, and now in Donghua's hands. So, if he wants to thwart the Three Pure Ones' ambitions, this is the only way he can do it.

The Chaos Bell is destined to reach the Tongtian; what does it have to do with the Heavenly Emperor Seal?

Although everyone will eventually know that this is the Chaos Bell, a supreme treasure from the beginning of creation, you still can't do anything about it.

This completely undermines the legitimacy of Tongtian!
