Lu Ya glanced toward the Moon Palace, his expression calm.
Wangshu was reserved and aloof, and she was only on good terms with Primordial Mother Taiyuan.
Compared to Wangshu, Primordial Mother Taiyuan was even more mysterious.
Yet so long as she moved beneath the sunlight, Lu Yang could still observe her.
His gaze shifted to the Moon Osmanthus Tree.
It was, after all, a top-tier Innate Spiritual Root. Its roots were connected to the Moon Star Origin, and it had grown immensely tall.
Its trunk stood billions upon billions of zhang high, its branches lush and its leaves dense.
Within its countless osmanthus blossoms, low-level worlds were born and perished.
At that moment, Lu Ya even saw several universes, though they were merely Lesser Thousand Worlds.
"Let me try communicating with the Moon Osmanthus Tree's origin before making a deduction." Lu Ya pondered.
The Sun and Moon had been transformed from Pangu's eyes, so they naturally possessed a subtle connection.
Because the Sun had deduced "Pangu," it had discovered a fortuitous opportunity on the Moon Star. That was why Lu Ya had come all this way.
Yet he did not know what this opportunity actually was, which was rather frustrating.
Since the Moon Osmanthus Tree was connected to the Moon Star Origin, he had the idea of communicating with its origin to make his deductions.
This might not necessarily yield anything, but it was worth trying.
Of course, communicating with the Moon Osmanthus Tree's origin was exceedingly dangerous. Making deductions while doing so was even more difficult.
Without further thought, Lu Ya sat cross-legged beneath the Moon Osmanthus Tree.
Before long, Lu Ya released his divine consciousness.
In an instant, Lu Ya's divine consciousness entered the Moon Osmanthus Tree and began communicating with its origin.
Meanwhile, a figure emerged from the distant Moon Palace.
The Moon Palace was truly a heavenly palace, with purple tiles, jade pillars, magnificent canopies, and exquisite side pavilions.
Though cold and tranquil, it reflected the vast cosmos. Looking down, one could see hazy starlight and faint glimmers scattered throughout.
Wangshu emerged from the Moon Palace, radiant as light clouds veiling the moon, graceful as whirling wind sweeping snow. Transcendent and proud, she wore a moon-white palace gown that fluttered in the breeze.
Osmanthus blossoms gleamed across the tiles as wisps of cloud drifted apart.
Her gaze crossed the void and settled on the figure sitting beneath the Moon Osmanthus Tree.
Though she had never dealt with Lu Ya, she was not unfamiliar with him and knew he was a great expert.
Among the Grand Unity immortals of the current Primordial World, Wangshu could not be considered among the strongest. She was not even confident she could defeat Vermilion Bird.
Lu Yang's guess that Wangshu was the reincarnation of some Chaos Demon God from the Primordial Chaos Era was not entirely wrong.
In truth, she was born from the remnant soul of a Chaos Demon God slain by Pangu. That remnant soul had escaped by chance, though its true spirit had not survived.
The demon god's remnant soul had fallen upon the Moon Star. Nurtured by Moon Yin Qi, it gave birth to a new true spirit.
Thus, although Wangshu could be considered a reincarnation of a Chaos Demon God, her circumstances were unusual.
She had inherited only part of the Chaos Demon God's legacy.
Precisely because she had been reincarnated from a remnant soul, she was innately somewhat deficient.
Therefore, even though Wangshu cultivated twice as diligently, she still could not compare to Rahu and the others.
In her view, Lu Ya's Magic Power was likely even greater than hers.
Wangshu did not quite believe that Lu Ya was not the reincarnation of some Chaos Demon God.
Suddenly, Wangshu's delicate brows furrowed, and a strange glint flashed through her eyes.
The Moon Osmanthus Tree was faintly glowing. Lu Ya was communicating with its origin.
This made Wangshu even more curious.
Why was he communicating with the Moon Osmanthus Tree's origin?
The enormous Moon Osmanthus Tree glowed.
Moonlight radiance shrouded the Moon Osmanthus Tree.
Lu Ya had successfully communicated with the Moon Osmanthus Tree's origin.
At the same time, Lu Ya quickly began making deductions with his fingers.
"Boom!"
Heavenly thunder rumbled, though only Lu Ya could hear it.
The divine consciousness communicating with the Moon Osmanthus Tree's origin immediately became unstable.
Moreover, Lu Ya's blood and qi churned, and he nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.
"This truly is a tremendous fortuitous opportunity!"
Lu Ya rose to his feet, a smile appearing on his face.
While communicating with the Moon Osmanthus Tree's origin, he had successfully deduced some "information."
Everything had to begin with the Primordial Chaos Era.
There had once been a Chaos Demon God who followed the Great Dao of Destiny. His Magic Power was immense and his cultivation profound. He could almost be called the strongest demon god beneath Pangu.
When Pangu created the world, the Destiny Demon God had also acted to stop him. Naturally, he had met his death beneath the Pangu Axe.
Yet the Destiny Demon God's desperate final strike had also shattered Pangu's Jade Plate of Creation.
Afterward, part of the Destiny Demon God's "Great Dao" merged into a Jade Plate of Creation Fragment, which then fell onto the Moon Star.
After the Heavenly Dao came into being, the Jade Plate of Creation Fragment on the Moon Star was confined.
Had the Sun and Moon not possessed a connection, and had Lu Yang not deduced "Pangu," he would never have noticed this fortuitous opportunity.
It truly was a great opportunity.
Yet the greater the opportunity, the harder it was to seize. That was frustrating.
Though he steadied his mind and spirit, Lu Ya still could not suppress his wild delight.
The Great Dao numbered fifty, while Heaven's forty-nine evolved from it, with one escaping. Thus, it was not complete.
The "Destiny" confined within the Moon Star was part of that one chance at survival.
If he could seize that chance at survival, the benefits needed no explanation.
Moreover, the Jade Plate of Creation Fragment was also a fine treasure.
The complete Jade Plate of Creation was a Chaos Supreme Treasure.
More than half of a Jade Plate of Creation Fragment was in Hongjun's hands, and it should be an Innate Supreme Treasure.
Lu Ya had yet to see the Jade Plate of Creation Fragment confined within the Moon Star, but it was likely no more than a Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure.
However, the Jade Plate of Creation contained nine strands of Primordial Violet Qi.
Primordial Violet Qi was far beyond comparison with Primordial Qi.
Once one completely refined a strand of Primordial Violet Qi, one could attain a Hunyuan Dao Fruit.
As for the Jade Plate of Creation, it recorded three thousand laws.
With a flash of Evasion Light, Lu Ya descended along the Moon Osmanthus Tree's roots.
Using the Moon Osmanthus Tree as a medium to perform Wood Escape, he soon arrived at the end of one root.
Within the Moon Star Origin, an irregular jade fragment was confined.
The purple Jade Plate of Creation Fragment exuded nobility, mystery, and antiquity.
Primordial patterns flowed across its surface.
Law Talismans flickered in and out of sight. A force of Power of Fate surrounded it, and countless Law Talismans existed within this "Destiny."
What disappointed Lu Ya was that there was no Primordial Violet Qi.
Had all nine strands of Primordial Violet Qi fallen into Hongjun's hands?
That was unlikely. Hongjun should have obtained only eight strands of Primordial Violet Qi.
What troubled Lu Ya was the Heavenly Dao confinement before him.
Merely relying on Grand Unity level Magic Power, he could never break this confinement.
He could only summon the power of his true body.
"I wonder whether the Magic Power of three million Calamities can break this Heavenly Dao confinement." Lu Ya was uncertain.
But he had already come this far. How could he not give it a try?
Taking a deep breath, Lu Ya began summoning the power of his true body.
The Golden Crow was an incarnation of the Sun Star and shared the same origin.
In an instant, a "scorching and tyrannical" power descended upon him.
The Magic Power of one Calamity... ten Calamities... one hundred Calamities...
Once the Magic Power descending upon Lu Ya became sufficiently vast, his body would be unable to bear it. Yet after he "locked onto" the Heavenly Dao confinement, the Sun Star's power directly struck the confinement.
When the power reached several hundred thousand Calamities, the Heavenly Dao confinement began to loosen.
Lu Ya was delighted.
Merely several hundred thousand Calamities of Magic Power had shaken this Heavenly Dao confinement.
A little over a million Calamities of Magic Power should be enough to break it.
And he could summon the Magic Power of three million Calamities!
It was enough!
More than enough.
Yet the Sun Star's power striking the Heavenly Dao confinement within the Moon Star Origin also threw the Heavenly Mandate into chaos.
Outside the Moon Palace, Wangshu's beautiful face went pale. She had discovered that the Heavenly Mandate was in utter disorder.
"What is happening? Why has the Heavenly Mandate fallen into such chaos?"
No matter how Wangshu calculated with her fingers, she gained nothing.
At the same time, many living beings throughout the Primordial World also discovered that the Heavenly Mandate had become chaotic.
Hongjun, Rahu, Ancestor Dragon, and the others all became unsettled.
Somewhere in the Primordial Era, Hongjun brought forth a damaged jade plate. The Power of Good Fortune surged forth as trillions upon trillions of Law Talismans circulated.
Using this damaged jade plate, Hongjun made deductions with ten billion years of Magic Power and his Grand Unity Dao Fruit.
After a long while, Hongjun still deduced nothing.
The Heavenly Mandate had become a tangled mess.
Hongjun was also baffled. For the Heavenly Mandate to suddenly fall into such chaos, something major must have happened in the Primordial World.
But what exactly had happened?
And who had done it?
Even a Hunyuan Grand Unity Golden Immortal using an Innate Supreme Treasure would find it difficult to throw the Heavenly Mandate into such chaos!
This was the first time such a thing had happened since the creation of heaven and earth.
Because it was unknown, Hongjun felt uneasy.
Would this affect his plans?
Or perhaps some existence was plotting against him?
Just as Hongjun plotted against Rahu, Rahu also plotted against him.
Ancestor Dragon plotted against First Kirin and Yuan Feng. First Kirin and Yuan Feng not only plotted against Ancestor Dragon, but also plotted against each other.
In this Primordial World, where countless races stood side by side and great experts emerged one after another, everyone plotted against everyone else.
High cultivation helped with scheming, but it was not unheard of for those of lower cultivation to scheme against those of greater cultivation.
It was simply far more difficult to scheme against someone whose cultivation surpassed one's own.
