At this moment.
The Solar Star seemed to dim a little.
Some of the more perceptive cultivators even raised their heads.
Their expressions were puzzled.
Why had the Solar Star suddenly dimmed?
Fortunately, the change came quickly.
And went just as quickly.
It wasn't very noticeable.
Before long, the cultivators on the Primordial Wilderness had cast it from their minds.
After all, for most cultivators, the Solar Star was somewhere they couldn't go.
Even if they wanted to investigate, there was nothing they could do.
The Solar True Fire burned fiercely.
Without the cultivation of a Great Golden Immortal of the Primordial Wilderness, no one could stay there for long.
The cultivators on the Primordial Wilderness didn't care much.
But that didn't mean the beings already on the Solar Star didn't care.
"Big Brother, someone has descended upon the Solar Star!"
Tai Yi cried out.
"I know!"
"And this being is countless times stronger than the one from the previous Tribulation Period!"
"If he hadn't failed to conceal himself, dimming the Solar Star a little!"
"We wouldn't have noticed him at all!"
Di Jun spoke gravely, making his assessment.
At once.
Tai Yi's heart jolted.
The Origins of Di Jun and Tai Yi trembled incessantly.
They were almost thrown into a panic.
Even the being from before had left the two brothers feeling overwhelmed, as if facing a formidable enemy.
And now?
There was no need to say more.
If this being harbored ill intent toward them—if, for instance, he coveted their Origins—wouldn't they be in trouble?
As they thought about it.
Di Jun and Tai Yi both felt a chill.
Their hearts turned cold.
It was hard to imagine that they, whose Origins were the essence of Innate Li Fire,
could actually feel a chill!
And yet, that was how terrifying it was.
When an unfathomable will swept toward them,
it was as though their consciousness might separate from their Origin.
Their Spiritual Light slipped beyond their control!
Fortunately.
The will came and went quickly.
After casting them a cold glance, it departed, apparently losing interest.
Soon.
The two brothers returned to normal.
But they were still shaken.
When that will had descended, the two of them had experienced the closest brush with death since their consciousness had first awakened.
It was the great terror between life and death!
Utterly horrifying!
Only after a while did they mostly recover.
Still.
They would likely never forget that soul-shattering experience.
"The Heavenly Dao?"
"It must be the Heavenly Dao!"
"Only the Heavenly Dao possesses such power!"
"With nothing but its will, it made our Spiritual Light tremble, as if we stood before an abyss!"
The two brothers discussed it.
Then they made a decision.
What would they do?
They decided to comprehend the Heavenly Dao!
"Tai Yi, as they say, fortune and misfortune go hand in hand! The Heavenly Dao Will has descended here. Though we don't know why, this is an opportunity for us!"
"We can use the aura we just sensed to comprehend the Heavenly Dao!"
"Big Brother is right!"
As soon as Di Jun finished speaking,
Tai Yi agreed.
Then.
The two of them began comprehending without hesitation.
In the past.
They had considered comprehending the Heavenly Dao before.
Unfortunately, their foundations were still shallow.
Even if they tried,
they could only grasp a little of its surface.
But now, things were different.
The Heavenly Dao Will had focused its attention here.
With this thread of opportunity, comprehending the Heavenly Dao would be much easier.
The only problem was—
why did this Heavenly Dao seem...
different from the one they had comprehended before?
The two couldn't help feeling puzzled.
But soon.
The opportunity they gained from their comprehension replaced their doubts.
"Tai Yi, I sense an opportunity!"
"So quickly? As expected of Big Brother!"
"This opportunity seems to be a Star Sign, one that symbolizes rulership! I can sense that it may well align with the Dao I seek!"
"Ha ha ha!"
"Congratulations, Big Brother!"
Tai Yi said with a sigh.
Then he, too, focused on comprehending.
There was even less need to mention Di Jun.
He was even more focused.
If he could find the Dao he wished to cultivate while he was still in his Origin form, long before he transformed,
he could avoid many detours.
And save a great deal of time!
That way.
After transforming, he might even attain a higher cultivation level!
Why else would Di Jun be so happy?
So.
For a time, the two brothers stilled their minds, intent on doing just one thing.
That was to comprehend the Heavenly Dao.
They no longer cared what might happen beyond the great array.
Elsewhere.
Lei Jun's true body descended outside a great array.
His expression was strange.
The reason, of course, had to do with Di Jun and Tai Yi.
It had to be said.
Ever since Lei Jun had resolved to contend with the Heavenly Dao and seize the greater momentum,
he had become even more willing to offer the fruits of his cultivation for the cultivators of the Primordial Wilderness to comprehend.
He was even glad to see them do so.
After all.
This could itself count as imparting the Dao.
That was precisely how Di Jun had gained an opportunity from it.
"Star Sign?"
"So Di Jun sensed Ziwei Star!"
"That explains it!"
"Unfortunately, the opportunity is still rather faint, and this fellow will transform too late to be part of this Tribulation Period."
"Otherwise, he could already be used as a Chess Piece!"
He glanced at Di Jun and Tai Yi.
That was merely incidental.
No matter what, these two brothers would be two of the leading figures in the world during the next Tribulation Period.
Their status was also extremely high.
They were certainly worth keeping an eye on.
But that was also the unfortunate part.
They would transform too late.
For the moment, they were of no use to Lei Jun.
"Still, it's not bad that they're comprehending my Dao right now!"
"Let it be an Idle Move!"
With that thought.
Lei Jun stopped paying attention to them.
Instead, he focused on the great array before him.
The array had formed naturally.
Inside it grew a top-grade Innate Spirit Root.
This Spirit Root.
At first glance, it seemed...
utterly ordinary?
It looked like an extremely common Fire Spirit Tree, and it wasn't even very straight—more like a crooked old tree!
There was not the slightest sign of a top-grade Spirit Root about it.
Seeing this.
Lei Jun was taken aback at first, then smiled.
"Not bad. You even know how to hide yourself!"
"But have you thought about where you are? The Solar Star, where nothing can escape being burned!"
"Could an ordinary Fire Spirit Tree survive here?"
"Let alone with an Innate Great Array protecting it?"
As he spoke.
Lei Jun slowly walked from outside the array toward its interior.
The entire process.
He had not encountered the slightest resistance.
It was as if he were strolling through his own backyard. The Innate Great Array had not even reacted.
Meanwhile.
Lei Jun continued speaking.
"Fusang Tree, your consciousness is incomplete, but you are already sentient. Otherwise, you wouldn't know to hide yourself."
"You should be able to sense that the heavens and earth will not allow you to take human form!"
"Since that's the case, I can make a deal with you."
"One Origin Spirit Branch in exchange for my granting you the fortune to take human form!"
"What do you say?"
"If you agree, show me your light!"
Lei Jun said.
Actually.
There was one more thing he hadn't said.
That was—
If it refused, he wouldn't show it any mercy.
But clearly.
Whether or not he said those words—
The Fusang Tree could sense it.
It wasn't that Lei Jun intended to attack.
Rather, as he spoke, Lei Jun had already walked in from outside the array!
Without encountering the slightest resistance.
In this situation, did it even have a choice?
In the next moment.
Light surged from the Fusang Tree, and countless leaves unfurled in an instant.
Its bear-like true fire flared to life as well.
Even its trunk straightened.
The Fusang Tree perked right up!
"That's more like it."
Seeing this, Lei Jun smiled faintly.
He said nothing more.
The sun returned, and the tree bowed before all:
With a wave of his hand, he condensed his insight into a Dao Diagram.
It was precisely the Innate Dao Body Diagram Lei Jun had comprehended long ago!
It could help cultivators take human form.
As soon as the Dao Diagram appeared,
The Fusang Tree lit up all over.
The Solar True Fire surrounding it blazed even more fiercely.
Its trunk even bent, as though it meant to bow deeply to Lei Jun!
It looked rather peculiar.
But one could tell—
It was incredibly excited.
So excited that an Origin Spirit Branch broke off by itself and floated before Lei Jun.
Its meaning was plain.
Lei Jun didn't stand on ceremony. With a slight wave of his sleeve,
He collected the branch.
And with that,
He had gathered another ingredient for cultivating the Renyuan Dan Method.
For the first time in a long while,
Lei Jun's Divine Sense stirred.
He actually sensed an opportunity!
Clearly,
The power of yin and yang could bring Lei Jun some gains.
For a moment,
Lei Jun was in an excellent mood.
As for the Fusang Tree...
Lei Jun pondered for a moment, as if something had occurred to him, and didn't leave right away.
Instead, he said,
"Spirit Roots have a hard time taking human form!"
"You and I have a certain affinity."
"How about this: if you succeed in taking human form, I may consider accepting you as a Disciple-in-Name."
"Hmm, but if that happens, you might have a Senior Sister?"
"Hahaha!"
With that,
Lei Jun drifted away.
Left behind, the Fire Tree Fusang remained bent over, still bowing, Divine Fire flickering without end.
It was clear how unsettled it was.
Elsewhere.
Lei Jun had already left.
However,
He didn't return to the East Sea Shore. Instead, he went back to Lei Jun Palace.
The palace at the East Sea Shore
Was merely an Idle Move.
