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

Seeing this, the Fusang Tree immediately swallowed it into its body, seeming almost impatient.

Such a soul was a great tonic for the Fusang Tree, which was still in a state of ignorance.

At the same time, the Fusang Tree extracted the memories contained within this remnant soul of Daoist Lihuo.

Through his soul imprint, Emperor Jun could also inspect those memories, adding to his own knowledge and experience.

However, in Emperor Jun's view, although Daoist Lihuo had immersed himself in the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm for many years, his strength had not improved much. He was even far inferior to Emperor Jun.

When Daoist Lihuo's sliver of soul was destroyed, Eastern Lord Duke, who was cultivating far away on Purple Mansion Continent, suddenly opened his eyes.

He sensed that something was amiss, but after making some calculations and discovering nothing, he once again sank into cultivation.

In a part of Eastern Lord Duke's body that he could not perceive, a remnant fragment of Daoist Lihuo's soul cursed inwardly, "Emperor Jun, how dare he? Sooner or later, I will settle this score with him!"

A cunning rabbit had three burrows. Daoist Lihuo had left another imprint upon Eastern Lord Duke.

After Daoist Lihuo's death, Emperor Jun felt that something was off, so he used the Hetu Luoshu Diagram to calculate.

The Heavenly Dao was clear now, no longer as chaotic and disordered as when Karmic Tribulation Qi had filled the world.

The sun, moon, stars, mountains, and rivers within the Hetu Luoshu Diagram flashed past one by one.

After a moment, Emperor Jun opened his eyes and withdrew the Hetu Luoshu Diagram.

According to Emperor Jun's calculations, Daoist Lihuo had indeed not been completely destroyed, but his aura was extremely weak.

Yet in the end, Emperor Jun still failed to determine his location.

Emperor Jun was not surprised by this. After all, Daoist Lihuo was an old-established Grand Luo Golden Immortal. Though his mindset and combat strength were lacking, it could not be denied that he possessed some means of preserving his life.

Emperor Jun did not believe Daoist Lihuo could still pose a threat to him.

He had confidence in his own rate of growth. It would be immensely difficult for a remnant soul on the verge of extinction to recover, let alone advance further in cultivation.

Emperor Jun stopped paying attention to the matter.

As for the Fusang Tree, after devouring Daoist Lihuo's soul, purified by Emperor Jun, its intelligence grew noticeably.

In Emperor Jun's perception, the Fusang Tree had now reached the point where it could take human form.

Emperor Jun connected with the Fusang Tree through his soul and learned of its intentions.

The Fusang Tree did not wish to take form like the living beings of the present day, though its inherited memories did contain methods for transformation.

What the Fusang Tree valued more was another path recorded within those inherited memories.

Along that path, it saw its ancient ancestor: an incomparably vast tree rooted within Chaos.

Countless branches connected to endless voids. Though its main form was that of a tree, it was constantly changing.

Until one day, a giant axe struck its body, shattering it apart as countless fragments fell into the Primordial World.

The Fusang Tree was one of the largest fragments.

Sensing the Fusang Tree's will, Emperor Jun understood the path it wished to take.

Emperor Jun could not judge whether the Fusang Tree's path was correct, just as he did not know whether he himself was walking the right path.

He respected the Fusang Tree's wishes and allowed it to continuously grow toward its ancestor.

The Fusang Tree ultimately rooted itself in the Sun Star. It disliked movement and pursued its own path as a tree.

Moreover, in Emperor Jun's view, the Fusang Tree's soul imprint was still in his grasp. By taking another path, it could also provide Emperor Jun with a different line of thought.

At the moment the Fusang Tree rooted itself in the Sun Star, the entire Valley of Tang finally merged completely with the Sun Star.

The Fusang Tree and the Valley of Tang officially became part of the Sun Star.

From then on, the Sun Star's fortune also sheltered the Fusang Tree and the Valley of Tang.

As a being born from the Sun Star, Emperor Jun naturally sensed all its changes.

Taiyi, who had already developed a dim awareness, was filled with fighting intent. Even the Chaos Bell seemed ready to act.

Emperor Jun understood Taiyi's thoughts. The arrival of an outside being had made Taiyi think someone was coming to contend with him for the Sun Star.

From this, Emperor Jun could also see Taiyi's domineering nature.

However, soothed by Emperor Jun, who had been born from the same source, Taiyi fell asleep once more, continuously absorbing Solar Trueflame and Primordial Spiritual Energy to nurture himself.

After this change occurred, the Fusang Tree actually gathered the surrounding Primordial Spiritual Energy and Solar Trueflame, placing them all beside Taiyi for him to absorb.

Watching this scene, Emperor Jun did not know whether to laugh or cry.

It seemed that the Fusang Tree had sensed Taiyi's majesty—or, more precisely, the majesty of the Primordial Treasure, the Chaos Bell.

Still, this was good. The Fusang Tree had a clear understanding of its place, and harmony could be maintained upon the Sun Star.

After inspecting Taiyi's condition, Emperor Jun sat cross-legged beneath the Fusang Tree and began comprehending what he had gained from that decisive battle.

In that battle, Emperor Jun had fought Wutian for a thousand years. Although his strength had increased greatly and allowed him to defeat Wutian,

he had abandoned part of his insights at the time. Under those circumstances, increasing his combat strength had naturally taken priority.

He also needed to deepen and consolidate his comprehension of the Law of Time gained on the Moon Star.

Emperor Jun recalled the state he had entered when comprehending the Law of Time—that dreamlike, illusory sensation, that feeling of looking back over ten million years as though it had been yesterday.

Slowly, Emperor Jun found that feeling again, and the world seemed to change.

The next moment, Emperor Jun broke free from that state. It had felt exceedingly brief.

Yet when Emperor Jun counted on his fingers, he discovered that he had already been sitting there for more than a hundred years.

Was this the Law of Time?

Emperor Jun thought to himself.

The Law of Time he had grasped was now consolidated.

However, advancing further would not be as simple as finding that feeling again.

There were two choices. One was to slowly improve through comprehending the Heavenly Dao, while the other was to encounter an opportunity and enter a state of enlightenment.

Emperor Jun temporarily set aside the matter of the Law of Time.

His focus now was on sorting through the insights he had gained while fighting Wutian.

Emperor Jun reviewed his battle with Wutian, continuously evaluating every action he had taken at the time.

Insights into all kinds of related Laws continuously surged into his mind.

These included not only the various Laws Emperor Jun had comprehended, but also the Laws of the Demon Path, which he had understood during his battle with Wutian.

However, Emperor Jun did not immerse himself in them. Instead, he studied them rationally for reference.

After all, that was Wutian's path, not his, Emperor Jun's, path.

Gradually, more and more insights into the Laws of the Demon Path flooded into his mind, until they had even become the dominant Laws among them.

Those surging Laws made even Emperor Jun feel as though he might become immersed within them.

This was because the Laws of the Demon Path seemed endless, as though they could continuously lead Emperor Jun onward.

As that feeling deepened, Emperor Jun instantly realized something was wrong and immediately woke up.

"Emperor Jun, I never expected you to wake up!"

Wutian's voice appeared within Emperor Jun's heart.

Extraterrestrial Devil!

The instant Emperor Jun heard Wutian's voice, that was what came to mind.

Those surging Laws of the Demon Path might not have been fake. They were very likely real, and they might very well have been Wutian's own insights.

Since the Laws of the Demon Path Emperor Jun had been studying were Wutian's, only Wutian could have lured him step by step without revealing any flaw.

"Wutian, you have failed again."

Emperor Jun thought to himself.

"Failed? Emperor Jun, our battle is far from over. This simple exchange was merely a greeting."

"Besides, I am now within your state of mind. What can you possibly do to me?"

Emperor Jun remained silent inwardly.

"Ha ha ha..."

After a long while, seeing that Emperor Jun had nothing to say, Wutian could not help laughing wildly within Emperor Jun's state of mind.

Wutian finally felt that he had vented some of his resentment.

He was Devil Ancestor Luo Hou's only disciple. Before meeting Emperor Jun, he had dominated both the Dao and Demon factions while he was still a Golden Immortal.

But in his two encounters with Emperor Jun, he had always been the one left at a disadvantage.

The first time, he and Emperor Jun had been evenly matched. Once he reached the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm, he had believed capturing Emperor Jun would be effortless.
