Wang Wei saw someone already in that place cultivating — the Purple Insect Emperor. He instantly realized this man was a unique insect race that feasted on people's emotions and that this man had been here for a while.
'Another Emperor appeared during Dugu Jing's absence?' Wang Wei realized this person was the world's second Emperor due to the Balance Mechanism. He ignored the latter and focused on the tree.
'So, I was not the only one with that idea,' Wang Wei thought as he watched the Purple Insect Emperor spending all his focus on nourishing the Law Tree to turn it into a Grand Dao Source Tree. From his knowledge and experience, this man was not the first.
Wang Wei detected signs that countless prior Emperors had tried a similar tactic but failed. Their attempt is why this tree has lasted so long, but for some reason, it had never evolved into what they wished it to.
