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

This time, Emperor Jun did not set up an array around Taiyi.

By the Primordial World's standards, the Fusang Tree had already reached the level of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal.

Moreover, it possessed a natural accompanying array of its own. In the current Primordial World, that should be enough to protect the Sun Star.

Furthermore, the Fusang Tree was connected to Emperor Jun's mind. If it truly encountered any danger, it could contact him at any time. Its situation was entirely different from that of the Moon Star.

Emperor Jun had already decided on his first destination: the Moon Star, where he would completely illuminate the Moon Star within the Hetu Luoshu Diagram.

Moon Star.

Emperor Jun once again felt the moonlight upon the Moon Star, cool and gentle.

Moon Laurel had awakened from its slumber and continuously gathered moonlight above Xihe and Changxi.

Upon seeing Emperor Jun arrive, it conveyed its delight, its branches swaying incessantly.

Emperor Jun had experienced the inheritance memories passed on by the Fusang Tree. Now, as he looked at the Moon Laurel Tree, he saw it more clearly.

If he was not mistaken, the path taken by the Moon Laurel Tree was likely the same as the Fusang Tree's. It likewise would not take human form, instead developing toward the direction of its ancestor.

Furthermore, this Moon Laurel Tree's realm was actually close to that of the Fusang Tree.

However, the Moon Laurel Tree still gave off a sense of weakness. It was likely that the Moon Laurel essence it had expended before had yet to recover.

On further thought, it was not strange for the Moon Laurel Tree to possess such a realm.

After all, the Moon Laurel Tree had always accompanied Wangshu. Naturally, Wangshu would have considered the Moon Laurel Tree, just as she had shared the Daoist Sect Fortune with it.

With the Moon Laurel Tree's protection, Fellow Daoist Wangshu still asked Eastern Lord Duke and me to look after her descendants. Fellow Daoist Wangshu truly worried too much.

Emperor Jun could not help but think to himself.

Emperor Jun gathered his stray thoughts and approached the still-forming Xihe and Changxi to inspect their condition.

The Moon Laurel Tree did not stop him.

After examining Wangshu and Xihe's condition, Emperor Jun had a clear grasp of their current stage of gestation.

Perhaps because they had inherited Wangshu's legacy, these two sisters' souls and intelligence had developed better than Taiyi's.

However, their consciousnesses were also slumbering, seemingly comprehending their inheritance memories and the inheritances Wangshu had bestowed upon them.

Other than being somewhat lacking in spiritual treasures, these two sisters' foundations were perhaps even stronger than Taiyi's.

Of course, foundations were only foundations. Whether they could be transformed into realm, cultivation, and strength depended on many factors.

Naturally, Emperor Jun had not forgotten the purpose of this trip.

He looked at the Moon Laurel Tree and said, "I ask Fellow Daoist Moon Laurel to gather some moonlight."

The Moon Laurel Tree extended the tips of its branches before Emperor Jun and nodded, indicating its agreement.

Then, a portion of the moonlight covering Xihe and Changxi separated and shifted above Emperor Jun.

Although Emperor Jun could gather moonlight himself, he could not do so as effortlessly as the Moon Hanging Tree.

The Moon Laurel Tree had also merged with the Moon Star, its roots deeply embedded within it.

As for letting the Hetu Luoshu Diagram absorb it on its own, that would simply be far too slow.

Emperor Jun sat cross-legged beneath the Moon Laurel Tree. The Hetu Luoshu Diagram directly appeared above him and began absorbing the moonlight from the Moon Star, which flowed into the faintly glowing Moon Star within the Hetu Luoshu Diagram.

Emperor Jun did not remain idle either. He closed his eyes and began comprehending the Moon Essence.

When moon and sun came together, they contained endless creation.

Time slowly passed. As the Moon Star's moonlight flowed in, the Moon Star within the Hetu Luoshu Diagram grew brighter and brighter.

A thousand years passed in the blink of an eye. Endless moonlight surrounded Emperor Jun, mixed with Moon Essence.

At that moment, Emperor Jun looked as though he were a living being born from the Moon Star itself. There was not the slightest trace of the sun upon him.

This was the result of Emperor Jun's thousand years of effort.

Of course, Emperor Jun's essence remained that of the sun, while his outward appearance was lunar. At the same time, he was adjusting his own essence and incorporating some Moon Essence into it.

Besides Emperor Jun, the Moon Star within the Hetu Luoshu Diagram had also changed, becoming completely illuminated.

Of course, Emperor Jun knew that the Moon Star within the Hetu Luoshu Diagram had not finished gestating. It was still far inferior to the Sun Star within it.

However, Emperor Jun no longer needed to remain on the Sun Star at all times.

That was because, after reaching this stage of gestation, the Moon Star within the Hetu Luoshu Diagram had established a connection with the Moon Star of the Primordial World. In the future, it could slowly absorb the Moon Star's moonlight power.

Just as Emperor Jun could use the Hetu Luoshu Diagram to draw upon the Solar Trueflame from the sunfire of the Primordial World, he would be able to use the Hetu Luoshu Diagram to draw upon moonlight power in the future. Still, it would ultimately not be as effortless as wielding Solar Trueflame.

Emperor Jun rose to his feet and dispersed the surrounding moonlight and Moon Essence. His aura became increasingly restrained and profound.

"Many thanks for Fellow Daoist Moon Laurel's assistance."

Emperor Jun looked at the Moon Laurel Tree as he spoke.

The Moon Laurel Tree shook its branches in response, then immediately shifted all the moonlight above Emperor Jun back around Xihe and Changxi.

Emperor Jun did not mind.

He drew the Hetu Luoshu Diagram, which had been floating above his head, back into his body.

Within Emperor Jun's body, the Hetu Luoshu Diagram continued drawing upon moonlight power through an inexplicable connection. Naturally, it was also drawing upon the Sun Star's power.

After inspecting Xihe and Wangshu's condition once more and confirming that nothing had gone wrong, Emperor Jun left the Moon Star.

Over the thousand years, Eastern Lord Duke had not come even once. Or rather, ever since they had parted last time, Eastern Lord Duke had never appeared on the Moon Star again.

Emperor Jun first returned to the Sun Star and checked Taiyi's condition, confirming the progress of Taiyi's gestation.

Then, without stopping, he hurried toward the next star: the Purple Tenuity Star.

There were no living beings on the Purple Tenuity Star, but its Star Essence and Primordial Spiritual Energy were extremely dense.

Without any hesitation, Emperor Jun directly found a place on the Purple Tenuity Star where the Star Essence and Primordial Spiritual Energy were at their densest.

Emperor Jun sat cross-legged. The Hetu Luoshu Diagram automatically appeared above him and began absorbing the surrounding Star Essence, illuminating the corresponding star.

Meanwhile, Emperor Jun divided his mind into two parts. One controlled the Hetu Luoshu Diagram to accelerate its absorption of Star Essence, while the other comprehended the characteristics of the Purple Tenuity Star's Star Essence.

Time slowly passed. Through Emperor Jun's comprehension, he discovered that the Purple Tenuity Star's Star Essence was unexpectedly full of the qualities of imperial authority.

When he first comprehended this trait, Emperor Jun could not help but frown.

The path of emperors again.

However, Emperor Jun swiftly adjusted his mindset.

He could not give up eating for fear of choking. Though all sorts of coincidences existed, Emperor Jun still calmed his heart and comprehended the Purple Tenuity Star's stellar characteristics.

Another thousand years passed, and the Purple Tenuity Star within the Hetu Luoshu Diagram was finally illuminated. This also meant that the Purple Tenuity Star within the Hetu Luoshu Diagram had formed a connection with the Purple Tenuity Star of the Primordial World.

Emperor Jun knew that it was time to change locations again.

Although Emperor Jun had not completely comprehended the Purple Tenuity Star's Star Essence, since the Hetu Luoshu Diagram had already achieved its intended goal, he could comprehend its Star Essence whenever he wished in the future.

Before deciding to travel to the next star, Emperor Jun first returned to the Sun Star and checked Taiyi's condition.

Afterward, he went to the Moon Star and checked on Xihe and Changxi.

Since he had promised Fellow Daoist Wangshu, and had even accepted payment in advance, Emperor Jun naturally gave them extra care.

The next star was the Seven Killings Star.

Emperor Jun proceeded just as he had on the Purple Tenuity Star, having the Hetu Luoshu Diagram absorb Star Essence while he himself comprehended its characteristics.

After finishing with the Seven Killings Star, Emperor Jun likewise returned to the Sun Star and the Moon Star, checking on Taiyi, Changxi, and Xihe respectively.

Emperor Jun never stopped, remaining busy among the Primordial Stars as the stars within the Hetu Luoshu Diagram were illuminated one after another.

At the same time, Emperor Jun gained enormously. Many of the stellar characteristics contained within this Star Essence aligned with the Laws he had comprehended.

As they complemented each other, Emperor Jun's realm and cultivation unexpectedly improved greatly.

This gave Emperor Jun a sudden realization.

So, comprehending the Dao did not only mean comprehending the Heavenly Dao. Everything in the Primordial World could grant living beings insight.

Especially in the beginning, when heaven and earth had first opened and countless mountains and rivers formed from primordial origins, Dao rhymes were openly revealed and were easiest to comprehend.

As those mountains and rivers grew, their Dao rhymes became increasingly weighty and dense, but also increasingly restrained, making them more difficult to comprehend.

Though difficult, there was still hope of comprehending them.

The most despairing thing was when those mountains and rivers suffered destruction and their Dao rhymes vanished entirely.

Thinking of this, Emperor Jun could not help feeling somewhat regretful.

Now that three Kalpa Tribulations had ended, the Ferocious Beast Calamity had specifically ravaged the heaven and earth of the Primordial World. Who knew how many Spiritual Veins had been destroyed.

The Dragon-Han Calamity and the Three-Clan War had likewise caused destruction.

There was even less need to mention the Dao-Devil Conflict. Luo Hou's actions had even caused Heavenly Punishment to descend.

From Emperor Jun's perspective, the damage to the Spiritual Veins of the Western Primordial Desolation during this Dao-Devil Conflict was entirely Luo Hou's doing.

Emperor Jun traveled among star after star, and the Hetu Luoshu Diagram illuminated stars at an increasingly rapid pace.
