The Beginning of the Dao: Wuji and the Five Primes

At that moment, the River of Time trembled, Saint Act as Heaven's Emissary, knew in an instant what had happened.

Donghua stepped into the space-time continuum, where he saw Minghe and Di Shitian staring intently at each other across countless dimensions in the tranquil River of Time and Space.

"Di Shitian? That shouldn't be possible. The boundary barrier still exists; how could this guy possibly enter the Primordial Wilderness Main Realm through the River of Time and Space?"

Although the Primordial Wilderness Realm and the Outer Demonic Realm were one, Luohu, in his creation of the heavens, severed the connection between the Demon Realm and the Primordial Wilderness using his own Dao.

Therefore, even though they live under the same sky, people from the two realms cannot travel between them. However, there are a few exceptions: the Great Freedom Sky Demon, the Primordial Sky Demon, the Taishang Heavenly Demons, the Creation Sky Demon, and the Slaughter Sky Demon.

Because these individuals are all incarnations of Donghua and others, they are not affected by the boundary barrier and can move freely, but others cannot.

This is why the Primordial Wilderness never attacked the Demon Realm; otherwise, this lucrative territory would have been devoured long ago, and Luohu would never have returned, nor would Di Shitian have had the chance to develop.

"Di Shitian, you have some nerve! You dare to invade the past of our ancestor! Today you must be taught a lesson!"

Minghe was now furious. He had just learned everything from the Evil Corpse incarnation, which made him even angrier. He didn't know how to describe the incarnation's actions; he could only call it stupid!

Regardless, he still needs to clean up this mess.

The Minghe, drawing upon the Great Dao Power, instantly took control of the Slaughter Sky Demon, and then used the Great Dao Power to obliterate the Nine Netherworld incarnation located in the Demon Realm's main hall.

"Minghe, since you dare to do it, why shouldn't I? What I didn't expect was that you could do something so foolish, hahaha..."

Di Shitian's taunts enraged Minghe, but Minghe was unable to mount an effective counterattack, because Di Shitian in the River of Time was merely a phantom of the Great Dao, or more accurately, an incarnation of the Black Lotus.

"Di Shitian, you wait for me in the Demon Realm. The Ancestor will definitely kill you with his own hands!" Di Shitian smiled slightly and said indifferently, "Alright, I also want to see Fellow Minghe's Abi Yuantu, but before that, I will collect some interest. I hope Fellow Daoist will understand."

Until we meet again!

As soon as he finished speaking, Di Shitian disappeared into the River of Time. Minghe watched Di Shitian leave and fell into deep thought, because he knew what the other party meant. The other party wanted to attack the western part of the Demon Realm, which meant that he wanted to destroy the Seven Kill Demonic Cult and destroy his Devil Dao incarnation.

At this moment, Donghua took a step forward, traversing the River of Time and Space to arrive beside the Minghe. "How did Di Shitian come to the Primordial Wilderness Main Realm?"

Minghe turned to look at Donghua. He hadn't expected Donghua to arrive so quickly, but he could understand. In the Primordial Wilderness, what could possibly be hidden from this Great Heavenly Venerate, especially something as trivial as the Demon Realm?

After considering it for a moment, Minghe decided to tell Donghua about it. "Great Heavenly Venerate, the matter is..."

Upon hearing Minghe's words, Donghua fell into deep thought. Based on the information transmitted by his avatar, and what Minghe had just said, the Demon Realm must be making new moves, or rather, Di Shitian was no longer content to remain idle.

"According to the information transmitted by your avatar, what is Di Shitian's cultivation level?"

Minghe thought for a moment, then said uncertainly, "He's at least at the Peak Quasi-Saint. He has already merged the Immortal and Demonic paths, Hun Yuan his own path. He's on track to reach the Primordial Chaos realm!"

Donghua was actually aware of Di Shitian's cultivation level. After all, Di Shitian's background was not simple. He first inherited Di Jun's memories, then had Rahu's legacy, and with the support of the Demon Realm's fortune, he was definitely at the Peak Quasi-Saint.

"A storm is brewing in the demon realm. What are your thoughts on this?"

Minghe knew that he couldn't withstand Di Shitian's attack on his own, and the destruction of the Seven Killings Demonic Cult was inevitable. Now, the only way to preserve his foundation was to find a powerful ally; otherwise, the Demon Realm's years of hard work would be destroyed in an instant.

"I wonder if it is possible to cooperate with the Great Heavenly Venerate's Demon Court to jointly resist Di Shitian?"

Donghua laughed and said, "Do I need to join forces with you to deal with a mere Di Shitian?"

Faced with such a question, Minghe said in a deep voice, "If it were the Great Heavenly Venerate, then naturally there would be no need for it, but the Demon Emperor is ultimately not the Great Heavenly Venerate. The Lord of the Demon Realm is Di Shitian, and the Heaven of the Demonic Realm is Luohu."

"The Demon Emperor has no advantage in the Demon Realm, which is why, even after more than a hundred years of gatherings, the power dynamics of the Demon Realm remain in the hands of Di Shitian."

"Now that Di Shitian may break through to the Quasi-Saint realm, the Demon Emperor is not having an easy time either."

Donghua turned to look at Minghe beside him; this was the first time he had truly looked at this person closely.

Minghe may not be as intelligent as Kunpeng, nor as well-born as Zhen Yuanzi, but his achievements have surpassed both of them, and this is not without reason.

"Sure, let the Slaughter Sky Demon go to the Demon Emperor; he'll help you. You can also go to the Primordial Sky Demon. Since Di Shitian is so ambitious and wants to give us outsiders a hard time, let's give him a little something to show for it!"

Minghe bowed and said, "I will obey the command of the Great Heavenly Venerate!"

Know that the young man had lofty ambitions, and once vowed to be the best in the world!

After many years, Donghua once again walked on the Primordial Land, starting from the East Sea and traveling to many places, some of which he had been to before, and some of which he had never been to before.

Do you remember what he said in front of everyone at the Purple Mansion Banquet?

"To establish a moral compass for heaven and earth!"

This was both a perfunctory response and a true reflection of his inner self. Back then, he was a young man who had just returned, a young man with the strength of Quasi-Saint.

Others may believe in his lofty ambitions, but deep down he doesn't dare admit that they truly are his lofty ambitions.

But Heaven and Earth have their own way; what is his will ultimately be his, which is why the path to imperial power is achieved without cultivation.

Many years ago, he searched for this answer, but ultimately found none. Now, looking back, the answer is so obvious!

Even now, the Primordial World is still rife with conflict, perhaps even more so than during the Lich Wars, for the world is about to face its final war.

Humanity has already ventured out of the East, aiming to become the Protagonist of Heaven and Earth.

However, it must be said that the order and civilization of the Primordial World were still far ahead of the Lich era.

This is inseparable from the efforts of the Heavenly Court over the years, because although the Purple Mansion ascended to heaven, the immortal city that suppressed the Primordial Land still exists.

The Celestial City is a force left behind by the Heavenly Court in the mortal realm. It does not participate in any power struggles; its only purpose is to maintain order and civilization.

Donghua had seen all of the East and he felt that Fuxi was a qualified Human Emperor, and that the East was truly thriving under his rule.

The Hundred Schools of Thought he had planned had already manifested in the Primordial Wilderness, with sects and cults of all sizes being established one after another, and various ideologies and doctrines beginning to emerge.

Every cultivation sect has its own philosophy; some revere the Heavenly Dao and uphold virtue, while others strive to help the world, bring peace, and vanquish demons...

Exorcise demons and monsters!

Donghua had heard these four words many times in his Previous Life, and thought they would never appear again, but he still underestimated the hatred that humans had for demons.

On the human side, the demon race has been classified as an existence on par with demons, as if this is a memory etched into their very bones.

Sometimes Donghua wondered if he was right or wrong in pushing the liches to slaughter people back then.

No one can tell Donghua the answer to this question, and no one will ever tell him.

Donghua stood in a valley, where there was a simple thatched hut. This was once the settlement of the Iron Eater Beast clan, and it was the place where he first Slaying the Corpse.

I remember how I was filled with resentment and anger at the time, and in a fit of rage, I slashed out the Evil Corpse.

Looking back now, the reason he was able to successfully Slaying the Corpse back then couldn't possibly be because of anger, but rather because his Dao Realm Cultivation sufficient, or rather, the East King Gong's Dao Realm Cultivation sufficient.

He himself was merely a catalyst!

Donghua returned to the thatched hut, and the scenes of the past gradually surfaced in his mind. He remembered that Tai Hua cooked here like an ordinary person, and it was here that she comprehended her Quasi-Saint path.

Donghua sat once again at the spot where Slaying the Corpse, and began clearing the way.

After reaching the Fourth Heaven of the Hunyuan Realm, one begins to open the path, continuously opening paths until one's own path becomes the Great Dao, which is the Dao Realm.

Above the Hun Yuan lies the Dao Realm!

Donghua didn't know whether the Great Dao in the Chaos was someone else's Great Dao, or whether this Great Dao had always existed.

If it is someone else's Great Dao, then where is the master of this Dao? Or perhaps the Great Dao is himself.

If this Dao has always existed, then how did it come into being? And how was chaos formed?

Donghua didn't know the answers to these questions, nor did he want to know them now, because his level of understanding was too low.

Although he has become the number one person below the Dao Ancestor in the Primordial World, he still has a long way to go in the chaos before reaching the Dao Realm. Perhaps this path is longer than the path he has walked before.

After all, the path ahead was predictable, but the path ahead required him to walk and create step by step, which meant feeling his way across the river.

What is the Heavenly Emperor?

"The Heavenly Emperor is the Dao; to see the Heavenly Emperor is to see the Dao!"

"I am the Heavenly Emperor, I am the Dao!"

This is Donghua's imperial way, and the imperial way he has always adhered to.

"I am the Heavenly Emperor, and I shall suppress all things in the world. Immortals and Gods, and demons are all under my command. Those who do not submit are heretics!"

"Including Saint!"

"The Emperor's Way suppresses everything; everything is the Emperor's Way; the Emperor's Way is everything."

Long before Donghua opened the path, he had already transformed the Three Thousand Great Daos into the Emperor's Path. In other words, Donghua now only cultivates the Emperor's Path, but this Emperor's Path is composed of the Three Thousand Great Daos.

One path equals three thousand!

There is only one true path, which exists within chaos and manifests itself in all the realms of chaos.

"In the boundless chaos, where there are no people, how can there be the Great Dao? In the immeasurable primordial chaos, where heaven and earth are unseen, how can there be the Great Dao!"

The Dao is invisible, or perhaps chaos itself is the Dao.

Innate Spiritual Qi is born from chaos, Chaos Qi can be transformed into Innate Spiritual Qi energy, which is the manifestation of the Dao.

Qi cultivation is the beginning of all realms!

This is an unavoidable point in any path of cultivation, whether it be Immortals and Gods, or other Cultivation Method, or even in the Western God Realm, Qi cultivation is the First Realm.

Upon realizing this, Donghua suddenly understood, as if he had grasped the essence of the Great Dao.

"Pangu separated heaven and earth, and the Primordial Wilderness was first formed, Innate Spiritual Qi appeared in the Primordial World."

"So spiritual energy comes from chaos. If chaos itself is the Great Dao, then Pangu creating the world was also opening the Dao."

"The Great Way!"

"Chaos!"

"Pangu!"

"Primordial Wilderness!"

"World!"

"What is Pangu? Pangu is the Tao!"

"What are Heaven and Earth? Heaven and Earth are also the Dao!"

"The Primordial Wilderness is also the Dao!"

"Therefore, with Pangu came the Primordial Wilderness, with heaven and earth came the Dao."

"Pangu is the Tao, the Tao follows nature, and all things are the Tao!"

A flash of inspiration appeared in Donghua's mind, and he seemed to understand what the Dao was and where it came from.

"Man follows the earth, the earth follows heaven, and Heavenly Dao follows the natural way. Since fortune is a way, it cannot be separated from the Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos."

Donghua's thoughts gradually unfolded, and he developed his own ideas for his future cultivation.

To break through to the Hunyuan Fourth Heaven, one must perfect the Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos of Primordial Wilderness, Earth, and Man in the Primordial World. Then, one can use the Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos, and Man to break through to the Five Heavens of Hun Yuan Primordial Chaos Realm.

Even after the Five Heavens, the path still opens, but if the path itself is Chaos Hongmeng.

So, after the Five Heavens Hun Yuan, is it the Innate Five Primes?

Tai Yi, Taichu, Taishi, Taisu, Taiji!

The Innate Five Primes Chaos Hongmeng are an evolutionary process from the primordial chaos, from the Wuji to the Taiji!

"If the Chaos Hongmeng is the Great Dao, then are the Innate Five Primes the realms preceding the Great Dao? If one can evolve the Five Innate Five Primes and pave the way according to them, then is the Dao Realm beyond the Five Primordial Elements?"

At this moment, Donghua gained a new understanding of the Dao, but all of this had to be based on the premise that the Chaos Hongmeng was the Great Dao.

Pangu creating the world was paving the way!

Open the realm of the Great Dao!

And wasn't the beginning of the Primordial Wilderness simply the Wuji the ultimate void) giving rise to the Taiji (the

Taiji is one of the Innate Five Primes!

What is Tai Yi?

"The Book of Changes states that when man is born, Heaven is one, Earth is two, and Man is three. Three times three equals nine, and nine times nine equals eighty-one."

The Tai Yi is when Yin-Yang have not yet changed, vast and boundless, without light or image, without form or name. Silent and desolate, this is called the Tai Yi.

Tai Yi, the beginning of the spirit before the appearance of Qi, refers to the vast and boundless primordial void before the differentiation of Yin-Yang.

Therefore, in this stage, there is no light, no form, no shape, and no name; it is still and formless—this is the Tai Yi!

"Isn't Tai Yi a manifestation of the Chaos Hongmeng?"

"Then what is the beginning?"

In the beginning, there was no form or substance, only a primordial energy that existed, existing in the Dao and descending upon the gods. Therefore, the beginning was more Yuanshi than chaos.

The beginning was the first appearance of qi (vital energy).

"Therefore, in the primordial stage, the Great Dao gave birth to Qi: Chaos Qi, Innate Purple Qi, primordial primordial Qi, Innate Spiritual Qi..."

"If that's the case, does it mean that there was such a world in the chaos, born in the primordial stage of Chaos Hongmeng, which is also the primordial stage of the Great Dao? Or is there more than one world?"

Donghua didn't know the answer to this, but he could only guess. If his previous guess was correct, then this was the answer!

What is the Taishi?

In the Taishi, there was form but no substance; it was the most primordial state!

The Taishi is the moment of form, when Yin-Yang combine and blend into one. From this oneness, form arises, but it has no substance yet; this is called the Taishi.

"Having form but no substance, isn't this one form of the Great Dao?"

Thinking of this, Donghua's eyes lit up instantly, and then he headed straight for Chaos without hesitation, wanting to verify his conjecture.
