Eastern Lord Duke looked at Emperor Jun's regal bearing and did not believe his words.

"Fellow Daoist Emperor Jun..."

Before Eastern Lord Duke could finish, Emperor Jun cut him off directly.

"Fellow Daoist Eastern Lord Duke, let us leave our reminiscing at that. I hope we will have another chance to sit here and talk freely like this in the future."

Eastern Lord Duke gave Emperor Jun a long look. He knew that even though he had prepared the greatest price he could offer, he still had not moved Emperor Jun.

"Fellow Daoist Emperor Jun, I have disturbed you this time. Farewell."

Since his main purpose had not been achieved, Eastern Lord Duke felt there was no need for him to remain.

"Taiyi, see Fellow Daoist Eastern Lord Duke off for me."

As soon as Emperor Jun spoke, Taiyi appeared beside Eastern Lord Duke.

"Let's go," Taiyi said.

Eastern Lord Duke did not hesitate in the slightest and followed Taiyi away.

Emperor Jun watched Eastern Lord Duke's departing figure without the slightest ripple in his heart.

Even the sight of countless living beings being devoured by the Wu Tribe had failed to move Emperor Jun. Much less Eastern Lord Duke's promises now.

If he truly wanted to join Zifu Continent, he might as well establish the Demon Clan himself and become the Demon Emperor from his memories of his past life.

Still, Emperor Jun was grateful to Eastern Lord Duke for bringing him a pleasant stretch of leisure.

At that moment, the Fusang Tree brought Emperor Jun another cup of Sun Essence, which he slowly savored.

As Eastern Lord Duke followed Taiyi, he could not help but feel relieved.

The pressure Emperor Jun placed upon him had truly been immense. If Emperor Jun had really agreed, Eastern Lord Duke feared that his status in Zifu Continent would plummet in the future.

Yet faced with such a powerful being as Emperor Jun, Eastern Lord Duke could not help wanting to recruit him.

However, Emperor Jun's decisive refusal had truly allowed Eastern Lord Duke to relax.

But there was still another problem: where could he recruit a group of beings capable of helping him face the Wu Tribe head-on?

Eastern Lord Duke's gaze unconsciously fell upon Taiyi, and an idea arose in his heart.

Emperor Jun's younger brother possessed no weak cultivation. With an elder brother like Emperor Jun, his strength should not be lacking either.

Taiyi brought Eastern Lord Duke to the edge of the formation. Eastern Lord Duke could not help but say, "Fellow Daoist Taiyi, with strength such as yours, why remain cooped up on the Sun Star? Why not make a name for yourself on the Primordial Continent?"

"Fellow Daoist Eastern Lord Duke, enough is enough."

The moment Eastern Lord Duke finished speaking, Emperor Jun's voice sounded beside his ear.

"Humph!"

Eastern Lord Duke felt his Primordial Spirit tremble and could not help letting out a muffled grunt.

At the same time, the Solar Trueflame around him surged as though it wished to devour him.

When Taiyi saw Eastern Lord Duke's expression, he knew his elder brother had already acted. He sneered without concealing it, then turned and returned to the formation.

Naturally, Eastern Lord Duke saw Taiyi's expression, and rage burned within him.

Yet what he felt even more was fear. He had already overestimated Emperor Jun's strength, but he had not expected that he had still underestimated him.

Emperor Jun... just what level had his cultivation reached? Why did I feel utterly incapable of resisting him?

Eastern Lord Duke could not help but think.

Eastern Lord Duke looked at the Solar Trueflame that seemed to be continuously rushing toward him from all around. He did not dare linger and no longer thought about Taiyi.

Without hesitation, he left the Sun Star.

The instant Eastern Lord Duke departed, Emperor Jun became aware of it.

Taiyi returned to the Sun Star. Looking at Emperor Jun seated before the stone table, he could not help but say, "Brother, I..."

Before Taiyi could finish, Emperor Jun said directly, "Once your physical strength matches your realm, go travel the Primordial Continent."

Hearing Emperor Jun's words, Taiyi said happily, "Yes, Brother."

His current cultivation was at the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm. Under his brother's tempering, his physical body was only slightly lacking.

As long as he worked hard, he would soon be able to head to the Primordial Continent.

At this thought, Taiyi could not help drawing in Star Essence with even greater effort to temper his body, while the Chaos Bell continuously aided him from within.

Emperor Jun watched Taiyi's diligent figure and nodded.

Taiyi had actually wanted to go to the Primordial Continent long ago. It was as though the Primordial Continent possessed some inexplicable attraction for him.

But Emperor Jun had ultimately suppressed that urge.

Only under Emperor Jun's suppression had Taiyi obediently remained on the Sun Star to temper his cultivation and physical body.

Now, after Eastern Lord Duke's words, the thoughts in Taiyi's heart had been stirred up once more.

This time, Emperor Jun did not intend to continue suppressing Taiyi.

He himself had already traveled through the Primordial World, experienced many things, and accumulated enough experience.

But Taiyi was different. He was not one to enjoy stillness, and remaining on the Sun Star forever would not benefit his growth.

Moreover, after Emperor Jun's tempering, there should not be many beings on the Primordial Continent capable of threatening Taiyi's life.

Besides, Taiyi had the Chaos Bell to protect him.

And after suppressing himself for so long, it was time for Emperor Jun to break through as well.

After suffering rejection and a blow to his pride, Eastern Lord Duke did not return to Zifu Continent. Instead, he came to the Moon Star.

If he remembered correctly, the Moon Laurel Tree on the Moon Star should possess considerable strength as well.

What he needed to do now was invite worthy talents far and wide and resist the Wu Tribe together.

He understood that the Wu Tribe was his greatest opponent in the Primordial World.

He also wanted to visit Wangshu's descendants. Back then, he had agreed to Wangshu's request.

Most importantly, after breaking through to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm, he discovered that two streams of Daoist Sect Fortune were empowering him.

He wanted to fuse them, but no matter what he did, he could not succeed.

Later, he came to understand that one of them might have come from Wangshu's gift.

As for why they could not be fused, he knew as well. It was surely related to Wangshu's two descendants on the Moon Star.

Unfortunately, at the time, he had been solely focused on expanding his own power and had become so arrogant that he disdained this Daoist Sect Fortune.

Thus, he had never considered coming to the Moon Star.

Eastern Lord Duke arrived on the Moon Star and felt the gentle moonlight there. This feeling was far more comfortable than being on the Sun Star.

He did not stop and headed straight for where the Moon Laurel Tree had once stood.

As he drew near, he discovered a formation slowly revolving.

Looking at the formation before him, Eastern Lord Duke could not help recalling how Emperor Jun and he had both been on the Moon Star when Wangshu fell.

At the time, Emperor Jun had wanted to invite him to set up a formation together, but he had refused because he was eager to return and break through to the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Now that he looked at this formation again, he could not help finding it profoundly mysterious, while also sensing a feeling of familiarity.

It seemed somewhat similar to the formation on the Sun Star.

Just as Eastern Lord Duke was considering how to enter the formation, a woman dressed in Palace Attire emerged from within it.

"You are... Eastern Lord Duke? Yes, you're Eastern Lord Duke!"

A clear, beautiful voice that was cool yet lively rang out. It was Changxi.

Eastern Lord Duke's appearance existed within Wangshu's inherited memories.

Looking at the woman in Palace Attire before him, Eastern Lord Duke could not help guessing her identity.

She possessed the realm and cultivation of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, and she had emerged from the formation Emperor Jun had set up.

Could she be a descendant of Senior Wangshu?

"I am indeed Eastern Lord Duke. Who might you be, Fellow Daoist?"

"My name is Changxi."

Changxi suddenly thought of something and said, "Fellow Daoist Eastern Lord Duke, please come with me."

With that, she turned and returned to the formation.

Eastern Lord Duke hurriedly followed her.

Under Changxi's guidance, Eastern Lord Duke soon saw the Moon Laurel Tree.

Beneath the Moon Laurel Tree, another woman dressed in Palace Attire sat cross-legged.

"Elder Sister, Fellow Daoist Eastern Lord Duke has arrived."
