Looking at the two people before her, Nuwa felt something was wrong, but couldn't quite place it. It was truly a bit strange.

When it was Donghua's turn to lecture, he first expounded on the Spiritual Power of Size As One Wishes that he had comprehended, followed by the Pure Yang Great Dao. He very earnestly finished explaining his understanding of the Dao.

After Donghua finished, West Queen Mother lectured on the Moon Great Dao, followed by Tongtian lecturing on the Shangqing Vast Void Great Dao. At this time, Tongtian had not yet comprehended the Dao of Interception, but after listening to Donghua, he felt that Tongtian already had a nascent form of it.

The Innate Deities of Donghua's generation were advancing at an unparalleled speed, approaching Hunyuan step by step.

Ultimately, they would shine their light in the Primordial World, just like Hongjun, Luohu, Ancestor Dragon, and Primordial Phoenix during the Dragon-Han Period.

Several days had passed since the last lecture ended. During this time, the five of them had been cultivating with each other.

Sometimes, when inspiration struck, they would even spar directly.

Donghua and Tongtian had spent most of their time discussing formations these past few days. They were very interested in the Great Formation on the Volcano of Immortality and often discussed it.

The two also frequently sparred in swordsmanship. Donghua lost every time, and to save face, he recounted many sword cultivation methods from novels in his Previous Life.

Tongtian felt that some of the cultivation methods were very promising, while others were directly scorned as nonsense and mere showmanship.

Finally, the two discussed with each other, and sometimes even fought directly to verify those sword cultivation methods.

Donghua's swordsmanship cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. Based on his current life's insights and some theories from his Previous Life, he eventually formed his own swordsmanship.

It was divided into three layers: seeing Heaven and Earth, seeing all living beings, and seeing oneself.

These three different levels of swordsmanship cultivation also represented three manifestations of the Dao.

Tongtian scoffed at the swordsmanship Donghua comprehended, considering it the Great Dao disguised as swordsmanship, not pure swordsmanship.

Under Donghua's wondrous ideas, Tongtian's swordsmanship cultivation also ushered in a new breakthrough.

He formed a kind of swordsmanship that was unstoppable, capable of intercepting Heaven, intercepting Earth, and intercepting people. Tongtian had already gained some understanding of the realms of intercepting people and intercepting Earth, but he still had no clue about the realm of intercepting Heaven.

Donghua also looked down on Tongtian's "interception" swordsmanship, believing it to be a deviation from the norm, not the Great Dao, and ultimately harmful to oneself and others.

The two couldn't stand each other and would fight from time to time, yet there was a sense of mutual appreciation.

"Fellow Daoist Tai Wei, after spending these past few days with you, I find you much more agreeable than when I was listening to lectures in Purple Heaven Palace," Tongtian remarked, taking a sip of his Da Hong Pao tea with lingering satisfaction.

Donghua was beside him, stir-frying tea leaves with Pure Yang Divine Fire. Soon, a pot of fragrant tea was ready.

"Can you speak properly? If not, maybe you should sell your mouth?"

Nuwa and Taizhen, standing nearby, chuckled as if they were accustomed to such scenes and paid it no mind.

Instead, they drank the fragrant tea in their cups, holding a chess piece condensed with Magical Power, playing Go.

Tongtian and Fuxi, on the other hand, were playing Chinese chess, though it was no longer the Chu River and Han boundary, but the boundary of Heaven and Earth.

In their leisure these past few days, Donghua had introduced these two games from his Previous Life, which were immediately well-received. Fuxi, in particular, marveled at Donghua's great talent.

Fuxi, while playing Chinese chess, suddenly sighed, "If only the Witch and Monster Two Clans could decide their victory like this in chess!"

The others ignored him. They knew very well what the next move of the Witch and Monster Two Clans would be; a battle to the death was unavoidable.

Especially the Yao Race, after suffering a great loss last time, they would surely retaliate.

Fuxi, still unaware, asked again, "Who do you think will win, the Heavenly Court or the Earthly Court?"

Again, no one answered his question.

Donghua thought to himself, Fuxi was now wholeheartedly devoted to the Heavenly Court, his ambitions all tied to it. As the current Xi Huang of the Heavenly Court, Fuxi could be considered absolutely qualified.

"That depends on whether Xi Huang is asking, or if Fellow Daoist is asking?"

Fuxi asked, "What's the difference?"

Donghua smiled, "If Xi Huang is asking, then naturally the Heavenly Court will win. If Fellow Daoist Fuxi is asking, then there will be no victor."

Fuxi fell silent, his chess piece hovering over the board for a long time before he finally sighed.

Tongtian helplessly shook his head, "You've ruined a perfectly good game of chess!"

"Is there truly no victor? Or perhaps the two clans could coexist peacefully and rule Heaven and Earth together."

"Fuxi, that's enough from you. If you can't speak properly, sell your mouth. If you're not playing, then move aside. I'll have a match with Tongtian."

As Donghua finished speaking, he waved his right hand, and a Chinese chess board appeared. He began to play chess with Tongtian.

West Queen Mother said, "Brother Tai Wei, when I leave, bring me some Da Hong Pao tea. I like drinking it."

"This is no problem. I've already prepared a portion for each of you. You can take it when you leave."

Hearing this, Taizhen was not happy and stopped paying attention to Donghua, quietly starting to play chess. She felt that if everyone got one, she wouldn't be special anymore.

Nuwa smiled meaningfully but said nothing.

The group began to savor tea and play chess.

"Fellow Daoists, Donghua intends to compile a book called Heavenly Dipper Spiritual Power, corresponding to the thirty-six heavenly numbers, and record thirty-six great Spiritual Powers of the Primordial World. I wonder if you Fellow Daoists are willing to support this endeavor?"

Tongtian threw down his chess piece and playfully cursed, "You scoundrel Donghua, you want to use our Spiritual Powers to make a name for yourself? How can you be so shameless?"

The others also chided Donghua, calling him thick-skinned.

"Ah, Fellow Daoists, you have truly misunderstood. When compiling this book, I will definitely note the origin of each Spiritual Power. From now on, these will be the fundamental Spiritual Powers of our Immortal Dao."

"After the compilation is successful, I will gift a copy to everyone whose name is on the scroll. Even if you Fellow Daoists cannot use them, you can still pass them down to your disciples."

"Teacher appointed me Head of Male Immortals, yet I have achieved nothing for the development of the Immortal Dao to this day. I am deeply ashamed, which is why I seek your help, Fellow Daoists."

The few people then nodded in praise.

Tongtian: "That's more like it."

Fuxi: "Fellow Daoist's actions are immensely good."

Nuwa: "A great merit for the Immortal Dao."

Taizhen: "My brother's actions have the demeanor of a Saint."

Donghua sighed inwardly. These fellows are still too naive. Although this book will be distributed to you all upon its completion.

Ultimately, it is I, Donghua, who is compiling it, so I will naturally gain a portion of the Destiny and Fortune. The more people who cultivate, the more Destiny and Fortune I gain, accumulating like water.

Subsequently, Nuwa provided Mysterious Creation, mending the heavens and bathing the sun, bringing the dead back to life; Tongtian provided Chaos Yin Yang, wandering spirits and controlling qi; Fuxi provided foreseeing the future; Taizhen provided blooming flowers in an instant, and so on.

Donghua felt like he had won it all!

At this moment, Crown Prince Changqin, Qianyu, Duobao, Qing Niao, and Jin Feng walked up to the mountaintop.

These past few days, while Donghua and the others were discussing Dao and cultivating, these individuals served them and also gained immense benefits.

After exchanging greetings, Crown Prince Changqin said, "Imperial Sovereign, Changqin has come today to take his leave. My father has ordered me to return."

Donghua let out a sound, "Go, go. Cause arises from conditions, and ceases when conditions end. All phenomena arise from conditions and cease when conditions end."

"Changqin, although you are of the Witch Clan, you possess a compassionate, kind, and upright heart. Sometimes, you should not blindly follow your father's words. You can bring your own ideas to the Witch Clan to benefit the Primordial World and all living beings."

Changqin bowed, "I will remember the Imperial Sovereign's teachings."

He then bid farewell to Qianyu, Qing Niao, and the others, and left the Southern Sky.

Fuxi: "He truly doesn't seem like someone from the Witch Clan."

Donghua smiled, "He is a true Witch."

Fuxi was stunned and remained silent for a long time.
