But as one of the three supreme treasures formed from the Heaven Splitting Axe, the Chaos Bell was not so easy to refine.

However, Emperor Jun did not say much. After all, the Chaos Bell was Taiyi's companion spiritual treasure, and Taiyi understood it better than he did.

Since Taiyi had chosen this path, he must have had a certain degree of confidence.

After a long while, the enormous Three-legged Golden Crow above the Sun Star opened its eyes, a soul-stirring light shining within them.

At present, the only living beings on the Sun Star were the Fusang Tree and Emperor Jun. Neither feared the light in Taiyi's gaze.

All things considered, Taiyi was probably the one with the lowest cultivation realm on the Sun Star right now.

However, after breaking through to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm, the Fusang Tree had chosen a path different from ordinary living beings, making an accurate comparison impossible.

Taiyi had only just comprehended the Heavenly Dao and had yet to fully control his own aura.

He slowly withdrew his sharpness and likewise transformed into human form.

After taking human form, Taiyi looked very similar to Emperor Jun, though their temperaments were vastly different.

When Emperor Jun had first been born, he possessed a majestic kingly bearing, with an innate nobility and pride etched into his bones.

Yet after countless years of tempering in the Primordial World, coupled with his insights on the Moon Star, his temperament had changed somewhat.

If he did not restrain his aura, a trace of gentleness could now be found within his majestic kingly bearing. It did not diminish his dignity, but instead gave other living beings a warm impression.

Likewise, his pride had not been worn away. It had even grown stronger, though he kept it hidden and rarely displayed it before others.

The current Emperor Jun was completely different from when he had first transmigrated.

The only thing that remained unchanged was his determination not to become the Demon Emperor.

At this moment, Taiyi's domineering aura was fully on display, and he too exuded pride and nobility from his very bones.

Even though Taiyi had restrained some of his sharpness, he was still exceedingly conspicuous.

Taiyi walked before Emperor Jun and said sincerely, "Taiyi greets Elder Brother. Thank you, Elder Brother, for your help."

Emperor Jun looked at Taiyi before him and could not help but smile. "We are brothers born from the same source. We should naturally watch over and support one another. There is no need to be so polite."

Hearing this, Taiyi did not stand on ceremony and said directly.

"Elder Brother is right. There is no need for courtesy between us brothers. If Elder Brother ever needs anything, just give the word. I will certainly do my utmost."

"Taiyi, you flatter me."

Emperor Jun did not dwell on the matter and instead said, "Taiyi, you have only just taken human form and only just broken through to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm."

"This is the best time to comprehend cultivation and consolidate your realm. You must not waste it."

"Elder Brother's instruction is correct. Once I have stabilized my realm, I will speak at length with Elder Brother."

Taiyi nodded. After speaking, he immediately sat cross-legged beneath the Fusang Tree, digesting his gains.

His innate inheritance, Emperor Jun's teachings, and the insights he had gained while breaking through to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm were enough to keep him occupied for quite some time.

Watching Taiyi immerse himself in comprehension, Emperor Jun could not help but think, Taiyi, comprehend well. There will be much more for you to learn in the future.

Afterward, Emperor Jun also sat cross-legged, dividing his mind into three. One part comprehended the Heavenly Dao, one used the Hetu Luoshu Diagram to comprehend All Heavens Stars, mountains, rivers, and lands, while the last part studied the physical bodies of the Starry Sky Behemoths.

The idea of Body Forging had never left Emperor Jun's mind.

Moreover, when he had climbed Mount Buzhou, Emperor Jun had already attempted it instinctively.

It had been far too rudimentary at the time, and Emperor Jun had made some adjustments. Yet time had been short, and it was still overly crude.

However, the strengthening of his physical body that Emperor Jun had felt then proved that his Body Forging path was not mistaken.

One had to know that Emperor Jun was a Primordial Deity nurtured by the Sun Star. His physical body had already been formidable, yet it could still be strengthened. This proved that the Star Forging Body method had merit.

Emperor Jun placed the bodies of the five Starry Sky Behemoths he had slain within the Hetu Luoshu Diagram, and Star Essence slowly flowed into their bodies.

The Starry Sky Behemoths were already dead. The only reason their bodies could still retain vitality was because Emperor Jun maintained them with his Magical Power.

One part of Emperor Jun's mind observed the circulation of Star Essence through the Starry Sky Behemoths' bodies, while his true body absorbed the Stellar Force of the Sun Star to slowly temper his own physique.

Since he had been nurtured by the Sun Star, using the Sun Star's Stellar Force for his experiments was undoubtedly the safest approach.

As the two brothers, Emperor Jun and Taiyi, continued cultivating, the Fusang Tree also slowly inhaled and exhaled the Primordial Spiritual Energy of the Sun Star.

For a time, the Sun Star fell silent.

Not just the Sun Star—one could say that the entire Primordial Starry Sky was exceptionally quiet.

Perhaps due to the unique environment of the Primordial Starry Sky, not many living beings had been born there.

Compared to the Primordial Starry Sky, countless living beings had been born on the Primordial Continent, making it exceptionally lively.

Back then, Wangshu had entrusted her two juniors from the Moon Star to Emperor Jun and Eastern Lord Duke, asking them to look after them.

Every so often, Emperor Jun would visit the Moon Star. On one hand, he was honoring his promise and caring for Xihe and Changxi; on the other, he was comprehending and cultivating upon the Moon Star.

After Wangshu's death, however, Eastern Lord Duke had never visited the Moon Star again.

Eastern Lord Duke was busy—truly busy.

After the Dao-Devil Conflict ended, the first thing Eastern Lord Duke did upon returning from the Moon Star to Zifu Continent was enter seclusion and break through to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Since Eastern Lord Duke had survived the decisive battle, he had naturally gained something from it.

With the support of Dao Sect Fortune and Eastern Lord Duke's own accumulation, his breakthrough proceeded smoothly without incident.

At that time, Eastern Lord Duke could already be considered one of the notable experts in the Primordial World.

Having participated in the Dao-Devil Conflict and witnessed the might of both the Dao Sect and Demon Path, he too wanted to establish a power of his own and contend for the fortune of the Primordial World.

After all, even lofty figures such as Dao Ancestor Hongjun had been vying for fortune, which showed how useful it was.

Although the Dao Sect had now won and claimed the vast majority of the Primordial World's fortune,

new races and new living beings continued to be born in the Primordial World, and naturally, new fortune would arise as well.

Moreover, all the great powers of the Primordial World had perished in the Dao-Devil Conflict. This was precisely the best opportunity for him to make his mark.

Of course, although he was brimming with confidence, he was also worried about encountering one opponent.

That opponent was Emperor Jun.

Eastern Lord Duke knew his own limits. He knew Emperor Jun was stronger than him, and that Emperor Jun's temperament was clearly better suited to competing for hegemony in the Primordial World.

Under such circumstances, Eastern Lord Duke even desperately hoped that Emperor Jun would be tied down by the various matters on the Moon Star, giving him an opportunity.

Among the living beings who had fortunately survived the Dao-Devil Decisive Battle, Emperor Jun's name carried far more weight than Eastern Lord Duke's.

However, though Eastern Lord Duke feared Emperor Jun, he was still confident.

Because at the crucial moment of his breakthrough to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm, a remnant soul of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal had actually tried to possess him.

Eastern Lord Duke had heard Daoist Lihuo's name before, but he had never encountered him.

However, this remnant soul of Daoist Lihuo seemed as though it had been ravaged by Emperor Jun.

Eastern Lord Duke knew this because, during their struggle, he unleashed Pure Yang Fire, and Daoist Lihuo revealed fear.

It was precisely because of that fleeting opportunity that Eastern Lord Duke achieved final victory and successfully devoured the remnant soul.

Eastern Lord Duke's Pure Yang Fire had condensed from innate Pure Yang Energy, and its appearance closely resembled Emperor Jun's Solar Trueflame.

After all, Eastern Lord Duke had once fought alongside Emperor Jun, so he knew more about Solar Trueflame than other living beings did.

After devouring that remnant soul, Eastern Lord Duke instantly obtained part of Daoist Lihuo's memories, equivalent to inheriting a portion of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal's legacy.

It contained several divine abilities and secret arts of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal.

Thus, after stepping into the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm, Eastern Lord Duke needed no period of adjustment and was already extremely familiar with this realm.

After Eastern Lord Duke broke through to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm, he began gathering the living beings who had survived the Dao-Devil Decisive Battle.

One had to know that all these living beings carried Dao Sect Fortune, so their cultivation naturally progressed smoothly.

After gathering these living beings, Eastern Lord Duke began paying attention to the newly born living beings of the Primordial World, doing his best to subdue them.

Several yuanhui passed. Eastern Lord Duke subdued quite a few races and living beings, and he had even clashed with Hidden Races.

Yet Emperor Jun, whom Eastern Lord Duke had always feared, never appeared.

His power expanded step by step, and as his fortune increased, his cultivation speed also accelerated.

However, he was not satisfied with this. Compared with any side from the Dao-Devil Conflict, his current circumstances were still vastly inferior.

Furthermore, not every living being could be found by Eastern Lord Duke.

It was not until the Wu Tribe appeared in the Primordial World that Eastern Lord Duke's campaign of expansion finally came to an end.

At this time, Emperor Jun was cultivating with Taiyi on the Sun Star and was basically not paying attention to the affairs of the Primordial World.

The moment the Wu Tribe appeared, it proclaimed itself the master of the Primordial Continent. It did not revere the Heavenly Dao and worshiped only Father God Pangu, acting with extreme arrogance.

The Wu Tribe did not cultivate Magical Power or Primordial Spirits. They cultivated only their physical bodies, within which Laws resided.

As their physical bodies grew stronger, the Laws they could control naturally grew stronger as well.

Eastern Lord Duke naturally would not let this newly risen race go. He led people to conquer them several times, but achieved no results.

Although the Wu Tribe had only just been born, its strength was exceptionally formidable.
