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

After this insight, Emperor Jun discovered that the prayer mat beneath him was also a fine treasure.

It calmed the mind and soothed the spirit, making it exceptionally suitable for contemplating mysteries and comprehending the Dao.

Emperor Jun's eyes turned golden as he began examining the prayer mat, intending to forge one for himself after returning.

In Emperor Jun's eyes, strands of Laws emerged, their aura connected to the entire palace.

That vast aura surged straight into Emperor Jun's eyes. He immediately stopped looking, and his pupils returned to normal.

This prayer mat was actually connected to the main hall. It seemed the effect did not come from the prayer mat, but from the hall itself.

Or rather, this palace had been steeped in the auras of the Four Ancestors for countless years and had acquired all manner of mystical properties.

Seeing this, Emperor Jun did not force the matter.

The sermon and his comprehension had both ended. Emperor Jun calculated with his fingers and found that he had already spent eleven hundred years within this palace. It was time to leave.

With that thought, Emperor Jun left the palace directly.

After leaving the palace, Emperor Jun received a message from Wangshu, inviting him to gather.

Emperor Jun considered it and did not refuse, heading over directly.

When he arrived, Wangshu was there, and Eastern Lord Duke was unexpectedly there as well.

Wangshu sensed that Emperor Jun's aura differed from before and said with a smile, "From now on, I should call you Fellow Daoist Emperor Jun."

"Senior Wangshu..."

"Just call me Fellow Daoist."

Emperor Jun did not stand on ceremony and immediately changed how he addressed her. "Fellow Daoist Wangshu."

Since they were both Grand Luo Golden Immortals, it was only natural for them to address one another as Fellow Daoists.

Eastern Lord Duke naturally understood what "Fellow Daoist" meant. His face was full of surprise, but upon further thought, it seemed reasonable.

Emperor Jun had already been at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm back then, so it was not strange for him to break through after hearing the Dao.

Now, Eastern Lord Duke was the only Golden Immortal left.

Thinking of this, Eastern Lord Duke felt bitter.

He wanted to compete with Emperor Jun and surpass him, especially after they had gone their separate ways.

However, he had ultimately matured considerably. None of the thoughts in his heart showed on his face.

Wangshu had not summoned Emperor Jun and Eastern Lord Duke for anything in particular. It was merely a gathering before the war.

After the three talked for a while, they departed separately.

Through their conversation, Emperor Jun discovered that Eastern Lord Duke greatly admired Dao Ancestor Hongjun and even wished to imitate Dao Ancestor Hongjun's path.

Wangshu offered some advice during this, but Emperor Jun said nothing.

Wangshu felt that she was close to a breakthrough, so she planned to return to her own Daoist abode, the Moon Star.

With sixteen hundred years remaining, Emperor Jun naturally would not stay here. He also decided to return to the Sun Star for a look.

Though both were heading for the Primordial Starry Sky, Emperor Jun did not choose to travel with Wangshu and instead set off alone.

Having only just broken through to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm, he still needed time to adapt before he could wield his true strength.

As Emperor Jun traveled toward the Sun Star, he continuously adapted to the essence of the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm.

The essence of a Golden Immortal was immortality: obtaining an endless lifespan and, to a certain extent, escaping the erosion of the River of Time.

A Grand Luo Golden Immortal, however, gathered one's self together, merging one's past and future selves with the present from the River of Time, and to a certain extent escaping the river of Destiny.

Besides adapting to the essence of his Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm, Emperor Jun was also striving to alter his divine abilities.

He integrated the Laws mastered by a Grand Luo Golden Immortal into his divine abilities, increasing their power.

At the same time, he needed to improve his means of attack.

After all, sixteen hundred years later, the Dao-Devil Conflict would enter its final battle. He had to strengthen every one of his methods.

After all, he had only recently broken through to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm, so he naturally had to seize every moment.

Emperor Jun contemplated as he hurried toward the Sun Star.

Emperor Jun finally saw the Sun Star that had nurtured him once more. Feeling the Primordial Spiritual Energy and Solar Trueflame within it, he felt exceedingly comfortable.

This feeling gave him great peace of mind, easing the tension that had built up in him over so many years.

Emperor Jun could not help relaxing. He transformed into an enormous Three-legged Golden Crow and fell asleep beside Taiyi.

Who knew how much time passed before Emperor Jun awoke again.

That sleep had truly been comfortable. His mood had relaxed, and even some of his impatience and balefulness had dissipated.

After so many years in the Primordial World, Emperor Jun had killed countless Demonic Cultivators. How could he possibly have no balefulness upon him?

Emperor Jun transformed back into human form and calculated with his fingers. He had actually slept for a hundred years.

However, Emperor Jun had now adapted to the rhythms of the Primordial World, and his sense of time had become comparatively vague.

Emperor Jun did not dwell on the time. He then turned to inspect Taiyi's condition.

Taiyi had grown much stronger than when Emperor Jun had left, but he had yet to finish gestating. Still, Emperor Jun could feel Taiyi's vigorous life force.

Moreover, Emperor Jun could now sense the hazy consciousness within. He could clearly feel Taiyi's closeness toward him.

"Don't rush, don't rush. You must be born whole and well."

Emperor Jun soothed Taiyi, who was still gestating. Taiyi's aura gradually became steadier, while large amounts of Primordial Spiritual Energy and Solar Trueflame poured into his body.

Emperor Jun replaced every crude formation he had set up before.

When Emperor Jun had first been born, his cultivation had only been at the Golden Immortal realm.

Now, Emperor Jun had studied the Hetu Luoshu Diagram for many years, and his cultivation had reached the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm. His insight was naturally worlds apart from what it had been then.

The formation Emperor Jun set up anew was both a killing formation and a defensive formation, while also gathering spiritual energy. It could continuously collect Solar Trueflame and Primordial Spiritual Energy, providing ample energy for Taiyi's gestation.

Emperor Jun looked at his masterpiece and nodded in satisfaction.

At this moment, as Emperor Jun looked at the Sun Star before him, he seemed to remember something.

With a thought, a miniature island appeared in Emperor Jun's hand.

It was the Valley of Tang from the East Sea, and within it was the Fusang Tree that Emperor Jun had conquered back then.

Emperor Jun had been busy and had never carefully considered how to deal with the Fusang Tree.

Now that he had returned to the Sun Star, Emperor Jun finally had time to handle the Fusang Tree.

The Fusang Tree had already developed rudimentary intelligence. Emperor Jun now had two choices.

One was to continue nurturing the Fusang Tree and make it the guardian of the Sun Star.

Emperor Jun did not doubt the Fusang Tree's potential. After all, Zhenyuanzi of the Ginseng Fruit Tree and Zhun Ti of the Seven Treasure Tree, fellow members of the ten great innate spiritual roots, would become renowned in later generations.

The other option was to erase the Fusang Tree's intelligence and use it purely as a spiritual plant.

Or he could refine it into an Innate Spiritual Treasure, just like the Seven Treasure Tree of later generations.

As if sensing Emperor Jun's thoughts, the Fusang Tree's rudimentary intelligence began pleading desperately.

At the same time, seemingly to demonstrate its usefulness, it displayed strands of Flame Laws before Emperor Jun.

Emperor Jun felt the Laws displayed by the Fusang Tree and was greatly surprised.

For within them, aside from the flames from his previous battle with it, were traces of Pure Yang Fire and Solar Trueflame.

Emperor Jun was certain he had not seen wrongly. Although the Solar Trueflame and Pure Yang Fire before him were somewhat weak, that was indeed his Solar Trueflame, while the Pure Yang Fire had clearly been transformed from Eastern Lord Duke's Pure Yang Energy.

Back on the battlefield of the Dao-Devil Conflict, whenever Emperor Jun had free time, he would grant the Fusang Tree's requests and feed it a little Solar Trueflame.

He had not expected the Fusang Tree to truly replicate it.

What surprised Emperor Jun even more was that the Fusang Tree had also replicated Eastern Lord Duke's Pure Yang Energy and formed it into Pure Yang Fire.

After all, aside from the few times Emperor Jun and Eastern Lord Duke had worked together, the Fusang Tree had no opportunity to obtain Pure Yang Energy.

Emperor Jun did not hide his confusion, and the Fusang Tree naturally sensed it.

The Fusang Tree did not dare delay and directly transmitted a piece of information to Emperor Jun.

It turned out that, aside from its own aptitude, the Fusang Tree's current achievements were also due to hearing the Four Ancestors preach the Dao.

It had also sensed the Dao resonance when Emperor Jun broke through to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Emperor Jun wished to command countless Laws, and the Fusang Tree had also been influenced by this, wishing to control every flame under heaven.

In its hazy state, it had found its own path as well.

After observing carefully, Emperor Jun also discovered some tiny sparks. They were flames the Fusang Tree had nurtured through its own comprehension.

With this, Emperor Jun made his decision.

The Fusang Tree had clearly become a living being and was about to forge its own path. Perhaps one day, it might even earn a "Fellow Daoist" from Emperor Jun.

Emperor Jun tossed the Valley of Tang in his hand toward the Sun Star. The Fusang Tree immediately understood his intent and conveyed its gratitude and joy to Emperor Jun.
