What would appear on the Sun Star?
Sunspots will appear!
"And more than one!"
The Fusang Tree rustled as if whispering softly.
The intense golden flames that entwined among the thousand leaves and myriad branches flowed like water in all directions.
Almost at the same moment, the ancient bell suspended amongst the treetops trembled gently.
Dong!
Ripples of space-time pulsed wave after wave.
The sonorous bell tone parted the boundless Chaos, revealing a splendid Space-Time River.
This river stretched on, meandering through Chaos, reaching the obscure and dim realms of the unknown.
"Who is intruding upon the Sun Star?"
A towering figure leisurely emerged from the Space-Time River.
His ink-black hair cascaded like a waterfall, topped with a high crown; he wore a gold-edged, embroidered long robe, with a jade belt tied around his waist, and his feet shod in Cloud Boots, emanating a majestic presence.
Taiyi held a Golden Lamp in his hand, with a crimson flame blooming like a lotus, lighting up all directions, unfolding endless profound meanings.
He traced along the timeline, looking back towards the outermost perimeter of the Sun Star.
A sneaky shadow flitted back and forth along several timelines near the Sun Star, disturbing the Taiyang Sun Fire, causing dark areas to gradually form at the star's fringe.
"What is this fellow up to?"
A contemplative expression crossed Taiyi's handsome face.
"Never mind, I shall return first."
Taiyi flipped his hand to put away the Golden Lamp, his towering figure striding back from afar to the present, seemingly slow but actually swift.
The golden fire of time and space that spread everywhere began to retract, and the boundless darkness of Chaos immediately surged, submerging the entire timeline he had traversed in just a moment.
As he set foot in the current space-time, the stars twinkled.
Another unknown space-time was also folding.
The timeline it represented was converging towards the Sun Star at an extremely rapid pace.
Eventually, the entire timeline turned into a speck of dust within the Sun Star.
"My brother!"
Di Jun, robed in splendid garments with star-patterned sleeves, appeared beneath the Fusang Tree.
His brows were like distant mountains, exuding a kind of serene and restrained charm; his eyes shone like obsidian.
"Big brother."
Seeing Taiyi approaching, a bright smile immediately surfaced on Di Jun's face: "What have you found, my brother?"
Taiyi did not answer, but instead looked at Di Jun, who was pressing his hand on a long sword, his brows slightly furrowed, asking: "Did brother's journey seem somewhat troubled?"
Taiyi's tone carried a hint of inquiry, but his gaze was almost certain.
"It's been alright."
Di Jun casually put away the long sword, and with a flash of cloud light, a bright lamp instantly appeared in his right hand.
The lamp was nine inches tall, all in gold, with two wicks burning into twin flames, intertwining like serpents.
Upon closer inspection of its form and substance, it was no different from the Golden Lamp granted to Taiyi.
The Innate Spiritual Treasure Sun Golden Lamp!
This treasure was utterly masculine and solar in nature; there were a total of nine lamps, collectively forming a set of Spiritual Treasures.
However, although this treasure belonged to the Sun Star, not all were within the Primordial Heaven and Earth.
The Primordial was created by Pangu God, above All Heavens, the Eternal True Realm.
The Primordial Great Sun had projections in All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, throughout endless space-times.
The sixth and seventh lamps in the hands of the brothers were both retrieved from the Sun Star of other planes.
Then, Di Jun spoke in a rather nonchalant manner: "Although there was a slight detour on the way, the result was good. Not only did I obtain this lamp, but I also encountered a Daoist on the way."
Taiyi nodded gently as he took the Golden Lamp from Di Jun, asking, "Did that Daoist leave a name?"
"Is my brother intending to seek retribution for your elder brother?"
Hearing this, Di Jun's brows lifted and the corners of his mouth curled slightly: "That Daoist was in a rush. After we exchanged blows briefly, he quickly retreated and did not leave a name."
"Besides, when out and about, which proper Divine would choose to give their name?"
"That's really uncertain."
Taiyi laughed: "In the current Primordial, there are more and more unorthodox Divine Beings."
"See, there's one right outside!"
Saying this, the two brothers looked simultaneously towards the outer reaches of the Sun Star.
The Star Venerable emerged from the chaos of the jumbled timelines, darting left and right.
He looked extremely disheveled.
"I have finally returned!" The Star Venerable had tears brimming in his eyes.
This trip was not an easy one.
Caught off guard in the Space-Time River, Star Venerable was swept into the turbulent currents.
He exerted great effort to find the correct point in time again.
For that, he even had to activate a backup Dao Body.
Thinking back on this journey, Star couldn't help but sigh: "It's all the Enchanting Demon's fault!"
"From today on, I abstain..."
The words reached his lips, but Star Venerable held back: "Never mind, I will abstain tomorrow. I still need to celebrate my return today!"
He looked around, "Eh? Wait a second?"
"Where am I now?"
Surrounded by endless Divine Fire, Star Venerable was confused for a moment: "Is this still the East Sea?"
"This is the Sun Star!"
Two Divine Spirits appeared, their presence formidable.
"Sun Star?"
The corner of Star Venerable's mouth twitched, knowing he was at fault, so he hurriedly said: "Don't get me wrong, I'm just here to borrow some fire, I'll be leaving now!"
Di Jun raised an eyebrow: "You came to the Sun Star to borrow fire in broad daylight?"
"Do you plan to stroll over to the Taiyin Star at night then!"
Taiyi snorted coldly: "Next time find a better excuse, we've seen plenty like you."
Dong!
The Chaos Bell rang.
Star Venerable was thrown back into the Space-Time River by Taiyi.
"No! I just got back!"
~~
"Did he just mention the East Sea?" Di Jun asked, "Have we seen him before?"
Taiyi thought for a moment: "I don't think so."
He could see everywhere the sunlight reached.
"It's a pity, now there are more and more places in Primordial that sunlight can't reach," sighed Taiyi lightly.
Eclipsing the sun.
This Divine Skill is what every Innate Holy being from all sides strives to create and comprehend.
No one wants to expose everything under the sun.
"It's also a good thing, though."
Di Jun's eyes gleamed, "It also indicates that there is more and more vitality in Primordial, right?"
"What's enjoyable about a desolate world?"
"The plane I visited was excessively desolate; the entire universe was decaying, without a single creature."
Taiyi smiled and asked: "Big brother isn't disgusted with them anymore?"
"You always used to find these beings spying on the Sun Star annoying."
"One thing is one thing, another is another!" Reminded by Taiyi, Di Jun's gaze also showed a bit of disdain.
Due to the Sun Star's uniqueness, there were always Divine Spirits wanting to explore it.
This great sun hanging overhead every day, Taiyi could stand on the Sun Star and observe Primordial Land; naturally, eyes from Primordial would also observe the great sun in return.
However, the brothers were not afraid of their prying.
Because they have an advantage: the great sun is the eyes of Pangu.
Looking at the sun is akin to gazing into Pangu's eyes!
Gaze into Pangu's eyes, who wouldn't squint, who wouldn't frown, who wouldn't feel guilty?
It would be strange to see clearly!
Thus, compared to gazing directly at the sun, the Innate Holy beings on the land prefer to gaze upon the moon.
The moon is different from the sun's blistering heat, it's not direct looking.
The moon has a soft light.
It's like the care and love of Pangu God for the Primordial Creatures.
The moon waxes and wanes.
Whether it's a full moon, half-moon, or crescent moon, the Divine Spirits of the land never tire of looking.
The left eye fierce and stern, grand and upright.
The right eye compassionate, illuminating the eternal night.
This caused a misunderstanding: many Divine Spirits mistakenly thought the Taiyin Star was easier to probe than the Sun Star.
Hence, Wang Shu had more trouble than the two of the Sun Star.
Similarly, around the outer space-time of the Taiyin Star, there were more Divine Spirits lying down.
