The roar of the Great Dao resounded throughout the Primordial World, and then the Three Thousand Great Daos appeared, their Great Dao Rules clearly presented to all living beings. At this moment, even a fool could comprehend something from them.

The Heavenly Dao Power permeated the nine heavens, and the solemn and sacred Heavenly Dao Eye appeared, overlooking the Primordial World and Myriad Worlds, sensing the changes in the Primordial World.

Purple Qi covered the Sky Vault, and pure Great Dao Power and magic power condensed into celestial flowers and golden lotuses that fell upon the Primordial Land and were absorbed by all living things.

Various strange phenomena kept appearing!

Seeing the scene unfolding before him, Donghua said in a deep voice, "All of you, listen to my command! Immediately begin your cultivation and comprehend the Great Dao!"

The materialization of the Three Thousand Great Daos and the Heavenly Dao presents a rare opportunity for cultivation.

The people of the Purple Mansion quickly sat down on the ground, immersing their minds in the Great Dao. Even Nuwa, Donghua, the Three Pure Ones, and others were no exception.

Time passed day by day, and nine days passed in the blink of an eye. But for the beings of the Primordial Wilderness world, these nine days were no less than nine thousand years!

The sounds of breakthroughs continued to ring out, and countless beings broke through to new realms within these nine days. Some even broke through several realms in succession!

Donghua stopped his cultivation and slowly opened his eyes, for at this moment the Heavenly Dao Eye above the nine heavens had completed its transformation, and Buzhou Mountain had also been fully formed.

The new Buzhou Mountain is not as high as before, but the Daoist essence it contains is even stronger than before, comparable to the beginning of the universe.

As the Heavenly Dao completed its transformation, all the strange phenomena in the world disappeared, and the Primordial Wilderness returned to its previous state.

All living beings watched as the Heavenly Dao and the Great Dao dissipated, and couldn't help but sigh. If the Heavenly Dao Power and the Three Thousand Great Daos could be like they were during the previous nine days, even a pig could become a Quasi-Saint.

Buzhou Mountain in the center is where almost all the Great Powers of the Primordial Wilderness gathered. Even Bai Ze and others from the demon race had come here before, making it a veritable gathering of experts.

Zhunti smiled and praised Donghua, "Brother Donghua, you used the Pangu's Heart to mend Buzhou Mountain. Your merit is immeasurable. I am deeply impressed and would like to bow to you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhunti ninety degrees and respectfully greeted Donghua. Jieyin, who was standing to the side, did the same, even though he had nothing else to Jieyin.

This bow was both an expression of admiration for Donghua's actions and a heartfelt joy, because with the emergence of the new Buzhou Mountain, the entire Primordial World was full of vitality, including their Western Continent.

The Western Continent is their lifeline!

Following Jieyin and Zhunti's actions, the Three Pure Ones exchanged glances, pondered briefly, and then bowed to Donghua.

As the group bowed, all the Great Powers of Buzhou Mountain bowed deeply to Donghua!

At this moment, all living beings in the Primordial World worship Donghua, as a sign of respect for Donghua's mending of Buzhou Mountain.

Every bow comes from the bottom of my heart!

Not because of cultivation level, but because of virtue!

Faced with the worship of all living beings, Donghua accepted it calmly, as he was worthy of it.

After all beings bowed, endless light emanated from the heavens, and a cloud of Mysterious Yellow Merit formed, covering the Sky Vault.

Then the cloud of merit descended!

This time, the lion's share went entirely to Nuwa, and other Great Powers also received a portion, except for Donghua, because this was Heavenly Dao's reward for Mending the Heavens, and he also contributed to the breaking of the Sky Vault.

Therefore, he only has karma!

After the merit of Mending the Heavens descends, the merit of repairing Buzhou Mountain will follow, and this will be the main part of the merit this time.

Because it contains not only the merit of repairing Buzhou Mountain, but also the reward for the advancement of the Primordial World. The new Buzhou Mountain makes the Heavenly Dao more mature, and further improves the spiritual power, the Great Dao, and the stability of the Primordial World.

That's actually the main reason!

This time, the greatest merit was bestowed upon Donghua. A vast cloud of merit descended, bathing Donghua and the surrounding world in a golden hue.

Faced with such immense merit, Donghua absorbed it all into his body without rushing to use it.

But this was not the end. Some of the merits automatically condensed into a Merit Golden Wheel, which stood behind Donghua, its light illuminating all the heavens and the universe.

This time, almost everyone here received a share of the merit, regardless of their cultivation level or how much they contributed. Even if the contribution was very small, everyone who contributed would receive a share.

As the merits were deposited, the Primordial World returned to its previous state, and even the power of the great calamity that had existed for several eons disappeared.

The sky is clear and bright, teeming with life, rich in spiritual energy, and illuminated by the Great Dao.

This is actually the Primordial Wilderness that Donghua loves, the Primordial Wilderness he protects, and his home!

"It's all over!"

Standing atop Buzhou Mountain, Donghua gazed upon the beautiful scenery before him, feeling a sense of exhilaration.

Zhen Yuanzi walked up to Donghua, lightly flicked his whisk, performed a Daoist curtsy, and said with a smile, "Congratulations, fellow Daoist, your wish has been fulfilled, and you have achieved the Great Dao!"

Donghua regained his composure, laughed heartily, and said nothing. Zhen Yuanzi was right; after this battle, his path would be complete, and no one could stop him from attaining enlightenment!

All that's missing now is to gather the fortune of heaven and earth, so that the light of the Purple Mansion can illuminate the Primordial Wilderness!

"Brother Donghua, shouldn't you throw a grand banquet to celebrate? Let me make it clear in advance, if the banquet is too low-class, I won't stand for it. After all, I'm already tired of eating Flat Peach, hahaha!" Hong Yun stroked his beard and spoke lightly, his face full of smiles, as if he were the one who was about to attain enlightenment.

After the two, everyone offered their blessings and praise, even Kunpeng and Minghe were generous with their compliments.

After all, Primordial Wilderness future prehistoric world will belong to Donghua, who is unparalleled in both strength and influence!

Donghua smiled and responded to everyone one by one, showing no neglect and addressing them all as fellow Daoists in a very friendly manner!

The closer you are to success, the more humble you must be!

This is an eternal truth, applicable even to the most ancient Primordial World.

Tongtian stared blankly at the Chaos Bell, which Donghua had not yet retrieved, lost in thought, seemingly pondering something.

Donghua saw through Tongtian's thoughts, and with a casual gesture, the Chaos Bell returned to his hand, instantly transforming into the Heavenly Emperor Seal's Seal.

After all, this is what it should look like; the Chaos Bell form is merely a figment of its imagination!

Donghua strolled up to Tongtian. He didn't shy away from the question; after all, what was coming would eventually come.

"Senior Brother Tongtian!"

Hearing Donghua's call, Tongtian snapped out of his daze and replied, "Junior Brother Donghua!"

After a simple greeting, neither of them spoke, for they both understood each other's thoughts.

The Chaos Bell is a treasure left by Pangu to the Three Pure Ones; this is an inescapable reality.

However, now that the Chaos Bell is in Donghua's hands, Tongtian simply cannot bring himself to ask for it. After all, Donghua's appearance has changed, and his intentions are obvious, so it is impossible for him to give it to Tongtian.

Besides, the Chaos Bell was obtained from Taiyi, so there's no reason for him to give it to me, and I don't have that kind of face.

"I know that you lack a treasure to suppress your fortune, and the Chaos Bell is the most suitable, but I cannot give it to you now, because the Purple Mansion also needs it!" Donghua said directly what Tongtian was embarrassed to say.

After all, the two had always had a good relationship, and he was genuinely grateful to Tongtian.

Before the Battle of the Purple Mansion, when he needed the Five Directions Innate Banners to deal with Taiyi, Tongtian brought him the Apricot Yellow Banner without hesitation. Moreover, it wasn't his own spiritual treasure, but a treasure of Yuanshi. So this favor was truly immense.

Seeing that Donghua had spoken the matter directly, Tongtian opened his mouth as if to say something, but the words caught in his throat. He remained silent for a long time before sighing:

"Since that's the case, I won't say anything more. Let's just consider the Chaos Bell shattered!"

Now that things have come to this, Tongtian has come to terms with it; perhaps he and the Chaos Bell are truly not meant to be.

Otherwise, the Chaos Bell wouldn't have fallen into Taiyi's hands, and now it's in Donghua's hands.

Donghua smiled and said, "Senior brother, don't be anxious. How about we make another bet? If I lose, I will personally present the Chaos Bell and refine it again to restore it to its original Chaos Bell form."

The last time the two made a bet was in the Phoenix Clan's Southern Heaven lands. Donghua won that time, gaining a thousand years of time to comprehend the Immortal Slaying Sword, although he ultimately did not collect the Immortal Slaying Four Swords.

"What does Junior Brother Donghua want to bet on?"

Donghua raised his right hand, then clenched his fist and looked at Tongtian, saying, "Let's bet on strength!"

"Strength?" Tongtian asked in confusion. He hadn't expected Donghua to bet on this, since his own strength was indeed inferior to Donghua's, so what was there to compare?

Donghua nodded and said affirmatively, "It's a gamble on strength, but not now, but after you attain Attain Sainthood."

Tongtian was overjoyed upon hearing this. This was truly a glimmer of hope after all the darkness. He had thought he had no chance left, but unexpectedly, things had taken a turn for the better.

He was indeed no match for Donghua now, but after he attained Attain Sainthood, he was confident that he could fight Donghua. Even if he lost then, he would accept it wholeheartedly.

"Alright, Junior Brother Donghua, you're very generous. When we fight in the Chaos Realm, if I lose, I'll owe you a favor. From now on, whenever you summon me, Tongtian will be there without hesitation!"

Tongtian readily agreed and even offered to take responsibility if he lost.

The two exchanged a smile, as if time had returned to the Southern Heaven lands, to that time when the five of them talked about everything under the sun, discussed the Great Dao, and performed Daoist duels.

Following the agreement between Donghua and Tongtian, the many Great Powers beings, sensing the ruthlessness of the two, did not linger and left Buzhou Mountain one after another.

The real reason why Donghua and Tongtian were willing to engage in such a duel was because of Tongtian's selfless help back then. When Donghua was weak and helpless, Tongtian brought him the Top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Apricot Yellow Banner, without hesitation!

Although the Apricot Yellow Banner and the Chaos Bell are not comparable, things shouldn't be understood that way. A drop of kindness deserves a spring of gratitude in return; can the water of the outside world be compared to the water of the desert?

Moreover, he was confident that he wouldn't lose to Tongtian!

Even if we lose, we will have no regrets. Suppressing the Heavenly Court Destiny something even the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Heavenly Emperor Sword, can do.

Bai Ze, Kunpeng, Minghe, Zhen Yuanzi, Jieyin and Zhunti, and others left one after another, and the Three Pure Ones Nuwa also left.

They were all eager to return to seclusion to consolidate and further comprehend the profound insights they had gained from this experience.

Houtu led Xuan Ming and the rest of the Witch Clan away from Buzhou Mountain. Before leaving, Houtu gave Donghua a complicated look.

Then he resolutely left!

The vast Buzhou Mountain was now empty except for the people of the Purple Mansion.

The West Queen Mother jokingly said, "If you, brother, are reluctant to Sister Houtu, you can go find her. I won't mind!"

Donghua smiled helplessly. There was indeed no emotional entanglement between him and Houtu; it was more about interests and mutual exploitation. Both of them were very clear about their respective roles.

Just like him and Nuwa, it was purely a mutual need for the Great Dao, a desire to pursue a higher realm, and it didn't involve any question of who liked whom.

Donghua didn't say anything to the West Queen Mother, but instead looked at the people in the Purple Mansion.

This was the most devastating battle since the founding of the Purple Mansion. Two Emperor Lord perished, and the fall of Lord of the Clouds, in particular, left Donghua with a deep sense of injustice.

Among the many Emperor Lords of the Purple Mansion, he had high expectations for Great Commander of Fate and Lord of the Clouds. The two had great potential and were expected to reach the Peak Quasi-Saint in the future, or even break through to Quasi-Saint. If they encountered a good opportunity in the Primordial Wilderness, they might even be able to Attain Hunyuan Dao.

After all, both of them had excellent aptitude and temperament, and were true cultivators, especially Lord of the Clouds, whose temperament was perfectly suited for cultivation.

The other Emperor Lord of the Purple Mansion, like Taiyuan, Shao Siming Tai Hua, and the Barefoot Immortal, either have reached the limit of their potential or have average temperaments, making it difficult for them to achieve greater things.

As for Haotian, the reincarnated Yaochi, and Longbo, their achievements have little to do with Donghua. Although they are all Purple Mansion Emperor Lord, there are differences between them.

Especially Haotian and Yaochi, who were once Hongjun's attendants, have special identities and indeed have high cultivation potential. They will be the highest combat force in the Purple Mansion in the future. Haotian's cultivation is expected to improve again after the Purple Mansion is unified.

Moreover, Yaochi should be reincarnated soon, but we don't know what her new identity will be. Donghua is really looking forward to it.

Among those who perished at the Quasi-Saint realm was Elder Yuan Jin of the Phoenix Clan. This powerful figure, born in the ancient era and contemporaneous with Yuanfeng, also fell.

Countless Grand Unity experts perished in the Purple Mansion; of the thousands of Grand Unity, only half survived.

The number of those below the Grand Unity was as high as five million.

Miserable!

Tragic!

While everyone in the Purple Mansion was enjoying the joy of victory, they also fell silent, feeling a deep sense of sorrow as they watched their former comrades and fellow Daoists perish.

But now is not the time to be sad!

Donghua said solemnly, "We will divide our forces into six routes, occupy the Central Mount Buzhou region, erase all traces of the Witch Clan, and establish a branch of the Purple Mansion here to manage the Central Mount Buzhou region!"

"Yes!"

The massive army marched forward and began to occupy the lands of the Witch Clan.

A magnificent immortal palace also rose from the ground on the old land of the Witch Clan!

Donghua entrusted all these matters to Taiyuan and Randeng, who were absolutely capable of handling them well.

Donghua led the high-ranking officials of the Purple Mansion to the new Buzhou Mountain. Standing atop Mount Buzhou, overlooking the Primordial World, a sense of pride welled up within him.

"This is my domain, the domain of the Purple Mansion, and also your domain. From now on, we will govern the Primordial World. Do you have the confidence to do this well?"

The crowd unanimously declared, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, we swear to follow you to the death, to carry out Your Majesty's will, to uphold justice for Heaven and Earth, to secure the lives of all living beings, to protect the Primordial Wilderness, and to make Primordial Wilderness stronger!"

"Very well!" Donghua responded, then said, "Gentlemen, prepare yourselves. We Sacrifice to Heaven and Earth here at Buzhou Mountain, and then ascend to Heaven to rule the Primordial Wilderness!"

"Yes, sir!"

After giving his instructions, Donghua summoned the Heavenly Book Investiture of the Gods of Gods, imbuing it with the Great Dao Power. The names of some people appeared in the Heavenly Book; these were those who had died in battle at the Purple Mansion.

However, only a small portion of the list is on it, since not everyone is qualified to leave their name in the Heavenly Book.

As the names of the people emerged, Donghua gathered the Great Dao Power and used the Heavenly Book to present the true spirits within them to everyone.

The true spirits of Lord of the Clouds, Candle Dragon, Yuan Jin, and others appeared one by one.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Donghua was in low spirits. Before the expedition, he was a living, breathing person, but now he was just a trace of his true spirit left behind by the Heavenly Book.

"My lords, there's no need for such formalities. You are all meritorious individuals of the Purple Mansion. It is I, Donghua, who have failed you!"

Hearing Donghua's self-reproach, Lord of the Clouds smiled freely and said softly, "Your Majesty need not blame yourself. We have no regrets about dying for the Purple Mansion; on the contrary, we feel honored. Perhaps this is our fate!"

The spirits that emerged from the Heavenly Book expressed their opinions, supporting the Lord of the Clouds's viewpoint.

Donghua glanced at everyone and slowly said, "I will give you two choices. First, I will use the power of the Heavenly Book and the power of the Heavenly Dao's Luck Power to condense divine bodies for you. From then on, you will cultivate the divine Divine Dao, and as long as my Purple Mansion does not perish, you will live forever! However, your cultivation level will be very difficult to improve, and you will be controlled by the Heavenly Book for the rest of your lives!"

"Secondly, I will extract your true spirits from the Heavenly Book and send you to be reincarnated. Everything will start anew. Perhaps you will become just an ordinary person, or perhaps you will achieve even greater things!"

Neither of the two options Donghua mentioned was simple. The first was to use the Heavenly Book Investiture of the Gods, using the Heavenly Dao Power Luck Power to condense the body and primordial spirit, thus preserving the current cultivation level. However, it would be very difficult to break through in the future, since it was not truly one's own.

The second option is for Donghua to use his own great power to extract that wisp of true spirit from the Heavenly Book, and then send it to reincarnate and return to the Great Dao. However, this would be full of unknowns.

Actually, there is another option: wait until reincarnation occurs, and then experience reincarnation with your true spirit. In this way, there is no uncertainty like reincarnation.

However, there will be no higher achievements; one can only reach the level of the Previous Life. Future breakthroughs in cultivation will depend on oneself, unlike Chang Xi who directly broke through a realm.

Faced with the two choices Donghua presented, everyone fell silent and began to ponder.

Lord of the Clouds took a few steps forward, looked at the new Buzhou Mountain and the people from the former Purple Mansion, and slowly said, "Your Majesty, my personality is not suited to the Divine Dao. Let me reincarnate. If I achieve great success in the path of Immortal Dao in my next life, I will serve Your Majesty again and thank you for your guidance in helping me attain enlightenment."

Donghua patted Lord of the Clouds on the shoulder. Although he had Preaching the Dao to the people of the Purple Mansion many times, this favor was both great and small. After all, the man had risked his life for him and ultimately lost his life.

"Between you and me, and between you and the Purple Mansion, only we owe you. Before you are reincarnated, I will bless you with good fortune, so that you can cultivate without worry in your next life and quickly reach the Grand Unity. But before you become Grand Unity, even I will find it difficult to find you. The reincarnation of the Great Dao is not a child's play!"

"Your subject, Lord of the Clouds, bows in gratitude to Your Majesty. I hereby offer my early congratulations on Your Majesty's attainment of the Attain Hunyuan Dao and the Heavenly Emperor Position!" Lord of the Clouds knelt and bowed deeply. This bow was a heartfelt expression of gratitude. Without Donghua, he would not be where he is today.

Donghua helped Lord of the Clouds up and looked at the others. At this moment, everyone had made their own choices.

Candle Dragon spoke, "Your Majesty, I wish to be reincarnated and cultivate anew. In this life, let me experience the splendor of the Immortal Dao, and perhaps I can even advance further."

In this life Candle Dragon mainly cultivated the Divine Dao, devoting himself to the Dragon Clan. He never truly cultivated properly, waking up every day to the overwhelming karma of the Dragon Clan and the various schemes for survival.

So he chose to reincarnate. In this life, he will live for himself and pursue his own path!

"Good!" Donghua supported Candle Dragon's choice and then promised, "The Dragon Clan has fought for me in the four corners of the Primordial Wilderness and has made immortal contributions. From now on, the Dragon Clan race will govern the waters of the Primordial Wilderness world, controlling the clouds and rain. Wherever there is water in the world, dragon descendants can be born!"

"Your Majesty, I thank you!" Candle Dragon also knelt down and bowed. Donghua's promise was incredibly important. From now on, the Dragon Clan would no longer have to worry about karma, and perhaps even receive good fortune. This was Candle Dragon's lifelong pursuit, and he had finally fulfilled the entrustment of the Ancestor Dragon.

It seems that forming an alliance with Donghua and then slacking off at the Purple Mansion was indeed a wise choice.

Yuan Jin sighed and said, "Your Majesty, I will not reincarnate. These old bones of mine have no more ambitions. I will trouble Your Majesty to help me condense a divine body so that I may serve Your Majesty from now on!"

"Your Majesty, I wish to be reincarnated..."

"Your Majesty, I wish to become a god..."

"..."

Everyone made their own choices; some pursued the elusive possibility of reincarnation, while others chose to become gods.

Donghua divided these people into two groups, and then helped them reincarnate and condense their divine bodies.

The Three Thousand Great Daos moved in unison, Hunyuan Power was added to the Heavenly Book. The true spirits condensed from the names written by the Heavenly Dao Power were separated by Donghua.

In an instant, Donghua suffered a backlash from the Heavenly Dao, after all, this was an act against the Heavenly Dao.

It should be understood that the Heavenly Book was born from the Heavenly Dao, with the purpose of consolidating divine authority and protecting all living beings in the world. Now that Donghua wants to strip away that trace of true spirit, the Heavenly Dao is naturally unwilling.

Above the nine heavens, thunder roared, and bolts of Zixiao Divine Thunder descended from the sky, their purpose being Donghua above Mount Buzhou.

Donghua experienced the power of the Zixiao Divine Thunder; Hunyuan Triple Heaven, he could still cope.

Holding the Heavenly Emperor Sword, he soared into the sky, his sword energy surging for billions of miles. He unleashed nine powerful strikes, the sword light colliding with the Zixiao Divine Thunder in the Sky Vault, the two canceling each other out.

Just when Donghua thought everything was over, the tribulation clouds above the nine heavens gathered again, as if even stronger divine lightning was brewing within them.

"Master, it can't be that bad!"

Donghua murmured to himself. He was merely reincarnating these people, not resurrecting them. Was such a fuss really necessary?

He then mobilized the Merit Power within his body, causing the Merit Golden Wheel on his back to spin wildly, with all the Merit Power being added to Merit Golden Wheel.

Their auspicious Purple Qi Comes from the East 30,000 miles in the east!

But now, in Donghua, the Xuanhuang Qi stretches for thirty thousand miles!

At this moment, the tribulation clouds above the nine heavens seemed to sense something, and the divine lightning that had been gathering finally stopped, eventually dissipating into the world.

Donghua returned to the earth, summoned the Heavenly Emperor Seal, and combined the Luck Power with the Mysterious Yellow Merit to refine a destiny, which he then bestowed upon Lord of the Clouds and Candle Dragon.

He then used his own Great Dao to mobilize the Three Thousand Great Daos of the Primordial Wilderness, with immortals, Immortals and Gods, heaven, Heaven Earth and Man all appearing. Donghua sent all those who were to be reincarnated back into the Great Dao.

With the end of the reincarnation, all the unusual phenomena disappeared.

As for those who wish to cultivate the Divine Dao, Donghua was in no hurry to bestow titles upon them, since he was currently seeking to Attain Hunyuan Dao and what he lacked most was fortune.

Once he performs the Sacrifice to Heaven and Earth and gathers the vital energy of Heaven and Earth, he will be able to step into the Primordial Chaos realm in one Hun Yuan!

P. S.: Can anyone guess who is the reincarnation of Lord of the Clouds and Candle Dragon?
