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

Moreover, Laurel Essence was the essence within the Moon Laurel Tree itself. Now that it was being squandered, the Moon Laurel Tree had begun to weaken, and its Origin Essence was nearly endangered.

The Moon Essence and Laurel Essence combined, producing no small amount of violent energy—at the very least, it was not something the still-forming Xihe and Changxi could endure.

Even if they would not die, their gestation would inevitably be affected.

At this moment, the Moon Laurel Tree's emotions also revealed panic, but it was too late. Having continuously expended its Laurel Essence, it no longer had the strength to control it.

Seeing this, Emperor Jun did not hesitate in the slightest. He directly revealed his true form, transforming into a massive Three-legged Golden Crow and charging between the Moon Essence and Laurel Essence.

Eastern Lord Duke also wanted to rush over when he saw this.

But when he sensed the scale of the Moon Essence and Laurel Essence, he stopped.

That level of energy was not something Eastern Lord Duke could handle.

He still had that much self-awareness.

The two energies began to slip free of the Moon Laurel Tree's control, drawing closer to each other as though they were about to explode.

Emperor Jun arrived between the Moon Essence and Laurel Essence.

Without any hesitation, fierce Solar Trueflame spewed from his mouth and surged toward the Laurel Essence.

The Moon Laurel naturally possessed the wood attribute, and its essence was no exception.

In an instant, the Laurel Essence was ignited, and the Solar Trueflame grew even fiercer.

Under Emperor Jun's precise control, the Solar Trueflame did not affect the Moon Laurel Tree or the sisters Xihe and Changxi.

As for Eastern Lord Duke, he was much farther away and perfectly safe.

Emperor Jun then guided the Solar Trueflame toward the Moon Essence. As the two slowly came into contact, an unexpected change occurred.

They actually began to merge and consume one another, transforming into a special kind of Primordial Spiritual Energy.

Emperor Jun split his focus in two and drew this special spiritual energy into his body.

He circulated his Magical Power to refine it and discovered that the Magical Power produced from refining this spiritual energy was gentler, much like the fusion of his Solar Power and Moon Essence when he had first entered the Moon Star.

Only, this fused Primordial Spiritual Energy was even better.

Seeing this, Emperor Jun continued driving the Solar Trueflame and Moon Essence to merge while drawing the fused Primordial Spiritual Energy into his body.

As he absorbed more and more, Emperor Jun discovered that this Primordial Spiritual Energy could not only be transformed into Magical Power—it also contained the true intent of the moon and sun, allowing him to better comprehend the transformations of Yin Yang.

Of course, Emperor Jun's comprehension of Yin Yang differed from that of Ancestor Yinyang.

For the same Dao path, every living being comprehended something different.

It was precisely because of all these differences that the Heavenly Dao could continue to develop.

While dealing with this immense Moon Essence, Emperor Jun stored away the Primordial Spiritual Energy he had absorbed into his body.

The sensation of his strength gradually changing and steadily increasing made Emperor Jun feel immensely comfortable.

But this was the Moon Star after all, and it was not suited to the existence of Solar Trueflame.

Even with Laurel Essence as fuel, the Solar Trueflame could not endure for long.

Thus, under Emperor Jun's control, the Hetu Luoshu Diagram appeared above him. The Sun Star within it glowed faintly, and an endless stream of Solar Trueflame poured forth, dissolving into and merging with the Moon Essence.

A great quantity of special Primordial Spiritual Energy appeared, and Emperor Jun drew all of it into his body.

At the same time, the Hetu Luoshu Diagram continuously absorbed Moon Essence from the Moon Star.

After communicating with the Hetu Luoshu Diagram, Emperor Jun instantly understood its intent.

The mountains, rivers, seas, sun, moon, and stars within the Hetu Luoshu Diagram were all illusory. But if it could obtain sufficient corresponding aura imprints—

Then perhaps the various things within the Hetu Luoshu Diagram could turn falsehood into reality and form connections with their counterparts in the real Primordial World.

As the Moon Essence continued to vanish, this crisis was finally overcome.

Emperor Jun had gained considerable benefits from it, which counted as his reward for resolving the crisis.

The only one to suffer losses was the Moon Laurel Tree. All the Laurel Essence it had released had been burned away.

However, so long as the crisis had ended, the Moon Laurel did not care about such a loss. It merely needed to spend more time accumulating it again.

It cared even less about the passage of time than Emperor Jun and the others.

However, having expended too much lunar essence, the Moon Laurel Tree had no choice but to fall into slumber.

Perhaps because it knew Emperor Jun bore it no ill will, the Moon Laurel Tree was able to sleep so peacefully.

Although the Moon Essence gathered by the Moon Laurel Tree had completely vanished, the Hetu Luoshu Diagram continued absorbing moonlight from the Moon Star, though at a far slower rate.

Emperor Jun examined the Hetu Luoshu Diagram with his divine sense and found that, besides the shining Sun Star, there was now another star within it, its aura identical to that of the Moon Star.

This star had already begun to glow faintly. Yet beneath the illumination of the Sun Star within the Hetu Luoshu Diagram, it appeared somewhat dim. Still, it was clearly different from before.

There were now two real scenes within Emperor Jun's Hetu Luoshu Diagram, though the other stars, mountains, rivers, and streams remained in an illusory state.

Furthermore, Emperor Jun actually sensed that the Hetu Luoshu Diagram had grown slightly stronger. The change was extremely subtle; if not for his keen perception, he likely would have failed to notice it.

Perhaps I, too, can possess a Primordial Treasure.

Emperor Jun could not help thinking this.

Of course, Emperor Jun also knew that it would be exceedingly difficult, but it was not without hope.

More importantly, the Hetu Luoshu Diagram was Emperor Jun's companion spiritual treasure and was incomparably compatible with him.

Emperor Jun did not allow the Hetu Luoshu Diagram to continue drawing moonlight from the Moon Star. Instead, he took it back into his body.

After all, there would be many more opportunities to draw moonlight from the Moon Star in the future.

Emperor Jun returned to human form and gazed at the slumbering Moon Laurel Tree, as well as Xihe and Changxi, who were still gestating.

Eastern Lord Duke also came to Emperor Jun's side at this time, but said nothing.

After a long while, Emperor Jun said, "Let's set up a protective formation, then leave."

"Alright," Eastern Lord Duke replied.

Eastern Lord Duke now truly felt the urgency of time.

He wanted to return to Zifu Continent, break through to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm as soon as possible, and strive to accomplish something.

And he saw Emperor Jun as his greatest rival.

There was no other reason. Emperor Jun's bearing alone made Eastern Lord Duke feel that he was not someone content to remain obscure.

At the very least, Eastern Lord Duke did not dare act recklessly before Emperor Jun.

"Fellow Daoist Emperor Jun, my understanding of formations is shallow, so I cannot offer any help. Shall I leave first?" Eastern Lord Duke asked Emperor Jun.

Emperor Jun turned and glanced at Eastern Lord Duke, then nodded.

He could tell that Eastern Lord Duke did not wish to remain here. Though he did not know why, he did not stop him.

Having accepted someone's request, one should faithfully carry out their task.

Besides, Emperor Jun had already accepted the Daoist Sect Fortune given by Fellow Daoist Wangshu.

Seeing that Emperor Jun had agreed, Eastern Lord Duke immediately left the Moon Star without the slightest hesitation.

Emperor Jun did not pay much attention to Eastern Lord Duke. Instead, he considered how to set up the protective formation.

He could not help recalling the formation he had seen in the Valley of Tang, the one that protected the Fusang Tree.

It was a naturally formed formation born of heaven and earth, one meant to protect the Fusang Tree.

Now that the Moon Laurel Tree was on the Moon Star, could he use it as the formation core to set up a similar formation?

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

The Hetu Luoshu Diagram had already appeared in Emperor Jun's hands as he continuously deduced the feasibility of the idea within it.

At the same time, his divine soul communicated with the Fusang Tree, seeking to understand how that natural protective formation had come into being.

During this deduction, who knew how many years passed.

Emperor Jun opened his eyes and immediately began gathering materials on the spot, using the Moon Laurel Tree as the formation core to set up the formation.

The spirit mines on the Moon Star were more than enough for Emperor Jun to use in setting up a formation.

One vein of spirit mine after another was extracted from the Moon Star by Emperor Jun and arranged around the Moon Laurel Tree, also enclosing the still-forming Xihe and Changxi.

After several hundred years of work, the formation was finally complete.

At Emperor Jun's mental guidance, the formation began to operate.

The surrounding moonlight power was slowly absorbed by the formation to nurture Xihe and Changxi, while also nourishing the Moon Laurel Tree.

Emperor Jun looked at the operating formation and sensed the increasingly dense moonlight power within it. He nodded in satisfaction.

This formation still fell somewhat short of the formation protecting the Fusang Tree and was not quite so perfect.

After all, it was only natural that a formation arranged by Emperor Jun would differ from one naturally formed by heaven and earth.
