Primordial World: I, Emperor Jun, Only Want to Build the Primordial World

Emperor Jun once again turned his mind to comprehending the Heavenly Dao. Everything was normal; there were no further signs of becoming one with the Dao.

As he comprehended the Heavenly Dao, he waited quietly.

Suddenly, those calls echoed in the depths of his heart once more. They were extremely faint, but Emperor Jun could sense that they came from a world.

However, Emperor Jun had no way of knowing where exactly that world was located.

After confirming his suspicion, Emperor Jun withdrew his mind back into his body.

It seemed that this world was closely connected to the Primordial Heavenly Dao, or rather, to the Primordial World itself.

Was this a world within the Primordial World?

Such a thought flashed through Emperor Jun's mind.

A world within the Primordial World?

This...

After connecting the clues, Emperor Jun seemed to have guessed what kind of world it was.

If the legends of later generations were correct, Emperor Jun had not only been the Demon Emperor, but had also established the Ancient Heavenly Court and become the Heavenly Emperor.

Wouldn't the location of Emperor Jun's Ancient Heavenly Court be a world of its own?

The Heavenly Realm!

This world was the Heavenly Realm!

The more Emperor Jun thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

The Heavenly Realm was fated to be connected to him.

At that thought, joy surged through Emperor Jun's heart. This was the Heavenly Realm—a vast world.

Then Emperor Jun thought of something, and the joy in his heart faded considerably.

He recalled that after the Heavenly Realm emerged, many great powers had divided much of it among themselves. Of the Thirty-Three Heavens, the Demon Clan actually occupied very little.

Furthermore, this fated connection to the Heavenly Realm gave Emperor Jun a sense of destiny, as though the position of Heavenly Emperor was his by right.

At that moment, Emperor Jun could not help but think of the path he had chosen: commanding countless Laws.

How was he meant to command them?

This seemed highly compatible with the path of an emperor, the path of a sovereign.

Still, Emperor Jun merely made the connection. He did not believe there was anything wrong with the path he had chosen.

If he could not even be certain of his own path, how could he speak of advancing step by step?

Destiny?

Let's see whether I, Emperor Jun, can change this destiny.

After undergoing so many trials, Emperor Jun's state of mind was no longer what it had been when he had first transmigrated here.

When facing all kinds of difficulties in the Primordial World, his first thought was no longer to flee.

Of course, it would be best not to become the Demon Emperor. There was no need to even establish the Demon Clan.

He only needed to gather some capable followers, wait for the Wu Tribe to decline, wait for the Heavenly Realm to emerge, and then decide according to the circumstances whether to become the Heavenly Emperor destined for him.

Emperor Jun continuously planned out his future in his mind.

This was only a plan. When the time came, he would still need to assess the actual circumstances.

Having thought it through, Emperor Jun began to take stock of what he had gained while comprehending the Heavenly Dao during his breakthrough to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Although the situation had been dangerous at the time, Emperor Jun's gains after escaping that danger had been immense.

Emperor Jun's comprehension of every kind of Law had greatly improved, and he had also gained the rudiments of several new Laws.

All these Laws were contained within Emperor Jun's Golden Crow Primordial Spirit, which continually sorted through them.

All the insights he had gained then had become nourishment for the advancement of Emperor Jun's cultivation and realm.

Among the Grand Luo Golden Immortals of the Primordial World, he could now be considered no weakling.

At the very least, he no longer needed to worry about Daoist Lihuo coveting him.

However, Emperor Jun did not erase the mark Daoist Lihuo had left on him. He wanted to see what Daoist Lihuo was truly planning.

It could be considered a bit of fishing.

Emperor Jun also wanted to see whether Daoist Lihuo's understanding of fire could benefit him and the Fusang Tree.

Besides that, Emperor Jun had discovered something extremely important: the Heavenly Dao was incomplete.

Emperor Jun did not know whether other living beings could sense it, but as someone who had nearly become one with the Dao—

He could clearly sense that the Heavenly Dao was incomplete.

Later generations claimed that the Great Dao was fifty, while the Heavenly Dao was forty-nine, with one having escaped, leaving a sliver of vitality for all things between heaven and earth.

But according to Emperor Jun's own perception, the Heavenly Dao lacked far more than merely one.

He could not tell exactly how much it lacked, but he was certain it was not just one.

Moreover, according to Emperor Jun's understanding, the one that had escaped could not itself be considered something missing from the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao's forty-nine were already a form of perfection.

Emperor Jun gently shook his head and buried the matter deep in his heart.

The Heavenly Dao?

The waters involved were far too deep. With Emperor Jun's current realm, he could not possibly grasp such matters. This was something Dao Ancestor Hongjun needed to handle.

Emperor Jun could not help looking toward Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who was still preaching the Dao, and thinking of the later legends regarding Dao Ancestor Hongjun Merging with the Dao.

Later generations had both praised Dao Ancestor Hongjun for his boundless benevolence and condemned him through countless conspiracy theories.

Yet from the preaching of the Four Ancestors thus far, Emperor Jun felt that Dao Ancestor Hongjun seemed to be the most reliable among them.

Emperor Jun cast aside the chaotic thoughts in his heart and immersed himself in Dao Ancestor Hongjun's Dao resonance once more.

After breaking through to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm, listening to Dao Ancestor Hongjun preach the Dao again brought vastly different feelings and insights compared to when he had been a Golden Immortal.

When he was a Golden Immortal, Emperor Jun understood what he could understand from Dao Ancestor Hongjun's teachings, while what he could not understand remained completely incomprehensible.

Now that he had broken through to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm, Emperor Jun found that he could somewhat understand certain things he had previously been unable to comprehend, while others were like flowers glimpsed through fog.

He felt as though he understood them, yet he did not know what he could do with that understanding, nor could he explain it clearly.

Beyond that, there was still much that Emperor Jun could not understand at all.

Moreover, Emperor Jun discovered that he was hearing parts of the teachings that he had not heard at all as a Golden Immortal.

This meant that his realm had been too low at the time. He had even been shut out from that portion of the teachings.

Then even now, was there still some part of the teachings that he was unable to know?

Emperor Jun knew there was no use in thinking about such matters now, so he simply stopped.

He adjusted his condition and once more immersed himself in Hongjun's teachings, slowly raising his realm and cultivation.

Part of Hongjun's attention had in fact remained on Emperor Jun. Seeing that Emperor Jun had safely broken through to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm and had immersed himself in the teachings once more, Hongjun no longer paid him excessive attention.

Hongjun held great expectations for these two living beings who were fated to be connected to him.

Time swiftly passed, and another two hundred and fifty years went by.

This preaching session lasted a total of one thousand years, with each Ancestor preaching the Dao for two hundred and fifty years.

For the current Primordial World, one thousand years was not a long time, but everyone's improvements had been enormous.

Especially Dao Ancestor Hongjun's teachings at the end—they could truly be said to have been given with utmost sincerity.

Although the preaching had ended, the many living beings who had listened remained immersed in the Dao resonance, continuously recalling Dao Ancestor Hongjun's previous teachings.

Some living beings even found the teachings of the other Ancestors surfacing in their hearts, using their lingering resonance to improve themselves.

Emperor Jun was one such being. Over these thousand years, the insights he had gained from Ancestor Yinyang, Ancestor Qiankun, Ancestor Diandao, and his own breakthrough to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm had all surfaced in his heart, raising his realm and cultivation.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Ancestor Yinyang, Ancestor Diandao, and Ancestor Qiankun had no intention of waking everyone.

"The thousand-year preaching has ended today. We should return to our Daoist Abodes and adjust our condition in preparation for Luo Hou's challenge in one thousand seven hundred years," Dao Ancestor Hongjun said.

"Agreed!"

"Indeed!"

"Agreed!"

The other three Ancestors all approved of Dao Ancestor Hongjun's suggestion.

They had to treat the battle in one thousand seven hundred years with caution. They truly needed some time to nurture themselves back to peak condition.

One thousand seven hundred years was about enough time.

This was the time they had settled upon during their earlier discussions.

"What should we do with these living beings?"
