"Sister Wangshu, this object is the true opportunity! In comparison, even Spirit Treasures are not as important!"

Youying opened her eyes and spoke slowly.

"Is that so?"

Wangshu was puzzled.

Youying countered.

"Perceive carefully—does refining Di Liujiang benefit us?"

"Eh?"

"Refining Di Liujiang can deepen our understanding of Taiyin's power? Or rather, transform it?"

At this moment.

Youying took over the conversation.

"That can be said!"

"Because Di Liujiang is a diluted product of Taiyin's power. This insight tells me that Di Liujiang is equivalent to... spiritual energy!"

"To be precise, for Mountain Stone, grass, trees, Flying Bird, and Swimming Fish that have not yet taken form, it is even more important than spiritual energy!"

"Thus, Di Liujiang can help them cultivate, and even take form!"

Then.

Youying did not wait for Wangshu to respond.

She continued.

"This means that if we refine Di Liujiang and, through Taiyin's Essence, shine it upon the Primordial Wilderness—"

"As long as any being not yet formed absorbs Di Liujiang, they will owe us a karmic debt!"

"And it will boost our fortune!"

Fortune!

Even though she had only just taken form.

Wangshu understood its importance.

"So, we can refine Di Liujiang and use fortune to assist our cultivation?"

"That can be said!"

Youying nodded.

In her Eyes, moonlight seemed to flicker.

Though she did not know why Lei Jun Heavenly Dao had sent down an intuition for her and Wangshu to refine Di Liujiang.

But clearly.

Since this was "Heaven's Mandate," they not only had to obey.

But also find a way to complete it better.

And ponder its meaning.

Di Liujiang could nurture the birth of spirituality.

Spirituality was the source of consciousness.

With consciousness.

There was a possibility of taking form.

So, had Lei Jun Heavenly Dao sent down this intuition to help the Spirit Beasts of the Primordial Wilderness take form?

Youying vaguely seemed to understand something.

Then.

Without further doubt.

She waved her hand, summoning a strand of Taiyin's power.

And began to refine it.

After who knows how long.

When the Taiyin Star grew bright once more.

Countless moonbeams, like ten thousand golden threads, flowed like liquid light.

Shining upon the Primordial Wilderness.

Di Liujiang!

Instantly.

Countless cultivators looked up, puzzled, toward the sky.

To be precise.

It is the Taiyin Star.

Uncertain of the cause behind this transformation.

Upon contact with the moonlight-like Di Liujiang, they were immediately astonished.

Especially those spirit beasts that had yet to take form.

They were overjoyed.

Even the mountain stones, trees, and grasses stretched and relaxed under the moon's radiance.

As if gaining sentience!

Looking more closely at the Taiyin Star, one could see.

Within the jade-bright, disc-like Taiyin Star, a Dao Diagram seemed to manifest!

Combined with the Di Liujiang.

It multiplied the speed of transformation countless times over!

This diagram was none other.

The Innate Dao Body Diagram!

And beyond this.

The spirit beasts of the Primordial Wilderness could also sense a vague will.

And the reason behind this occurrence.

"Lei Jun Heavenly Dao, unable to bear the suffering of All Beings, has specially issued a Dharma Decree, commanding the Taiyin Goddess to refine Di Liujiang, and to pass down the method of transformation, in order to enlighten all things and beings of the Primordial Wilderness!"

In simple terms.

It was the transmission of the Dao by Lei Jun Heavenly Dao!

In times past.

Cultivators of the Primordial Wilderness might have been puzzled.

But having witnessed the two Heavenly Daos clash in divine arts.

The name Lei Jun Heavenly Dao.

Was known to all.

Even if some truly did not know, after this scene, they would look up at the moon.

And they would understand.

It could be said.

This scene would not only leave a deep impression on the cultivators of the present Primordial Wilderness.

But would also become a legend!

And be passed down forever.

As for its impact on the Primordial Wilderness...

Many cultivators were unclear.

They could only vaguely sense that this was a major event.

The speed of spirit beasts taking form accelerated.

And the Taiyin Star became another place where fortune gathered.

All of this had far-reaching consequences.

At this moment.

Throughout the entire Primordial Wilderness.

Only Lei Jun could fully comprehend everything.

Because...

All the changes before him stemmed from his annotations in the Fate Text.

Including the transformation of the two goddesses.

And the shifts in fortune.

Speaking of which.

Di Liujiang was actually a form of Profound Qi.

During his cultivation.

Lei Jun had once opened it within his own body.

Thus, he could discern the method of refinement.

And pass it on to the two Taiyin Goddesses.

As for why he did this...

What is the goal?

Lei Jun thought it through very clearly.

The Dragon-Han Calamity, and indeed the entire trend of the Primordial Wilderness.

To change it.

He couldn't limit himself to minor skirmishes.

He had to play for high stakes.

To that end.

Lei Jun spared no effort, directly transmitting a Dharma Gate to alter fate.

Simply put.

It was six words.

Gathering Qi Luck, Forging Immortal Court!

At this moment.

Lei Jun took in everything happening in the Primordial Wilderness.

Every change.

He understood clearly.

Because everything.

Was proceeding according to his plan.

"Di Liujiang is one of Di Jun's methods to rule the myriad races of the Primordial Wilderness, and also one of his goals in marrying Xi He and achieving the Heavenly Marriage!"

"But right now, the Dragon-Han Calamity hasn't passed yet, and Di Jun hasn't even taken form—yet Di Liujiang has already appeared!"

"Qi luck is converging toward the Myriad Heavens Star Sea ahead of schedule!"

"And this kind of situation should have occurred in the next calamity."

"Now that it's appearing early, what will happen?"

"It might allow the Heavenly Court to emerge ahead of time!"

That's right!

The Heavenly Court!

This was the great scheme Lei Jun had devised, the feat he had strained every effort to bring about.

However, who would take the Emperor's position, Lei Jun hadn't decided yet.

Youying?

Her foundation was sufficient, her cultivation passable, but her nature didn't fit.

She preferred tranquility.

If she became the Heavenly Emperor, she might not be able to command respect.

If she actually took the throne, chaos would eventually erupt.

Wangshu?

Her nature was fine, but her foundation was lacking, and her status even more so.

Making her the Heavenly Emperor would be harming her.

The saying goes, "When one's virtue doesn't match their position, disaster is sure to follow."

That was the principle at work.

Little Fox?

That was even more impossible.

Neither her personality nor her foundation were suitable.

Making her a "Heavenly Maiden," as Lei Jun's representative in the Primordial Wilderness, was already her limit.

So.

In truth, even now, Lei Jun hadn't found the right candidate.

But that was fine.

The prototype of the Heavenly Court could be set up first.

Once the Heavenly Court existed.

Would there be any fear of the Emperor's position remaining vacant?

Not at all!

At worst, he could have Youying fill in for a while.

Years in the Primordial Wilderness are uncounted.

"Secluded for so long, time to go out and take a walk."

On this day.

With a single thought, Lei Jun stepped out of Lei Jun Palace.

He appeared above the Blood Sea.

But this time, he released no aura whatsoever.

He did not wish to be noticed.

Thus, Ming He remained unaware.

With another thought.

Lei Jun began to descend.

The heavens have a limit to their height, and the earth naturally has a limit to its depth as well.

Furthermore.

Since the heavens contain the Heavenly Dao, the earth should also contain an Earth Dao!

Lei Jun searched deep within the Nine Nether for a very long time.

He did not know how long had passed.

When Lei Jun finally stopped.

A mysterious place, a hazy mass of energy, entered Lei Jun's perception.

Suddenly.

Lei Jun's eyes lit up.

"After enduring countless hardships!"

"I have finally found it!"

"The Earth Dao Source!"
