The Primordial War: The Symbol Emperor

"We've finally arrived! It wasn't easy!" Wei Chen exclaimed with deep emotion. "It takes decades to travel like this! Are they trying to kill us all?"

"What do you think of this place, fellow Daoist?" Zhuque asked with a smile.

“This…is so good it’s beyond words!” Wei Chen said.

If you want flowers, there are vibrant colors! If you want trees, there are ancient, towering trees! If you want water, there are streams, brooks, lakes, and waterfalls whose waters stretch to the sky, their source hidden from view.

With mountains soaring into the clouds, what more could he say about such a landscape?

Zhuque smiled with satisfaction. This was the best spiritual land for the Zhuque clan, a place that countless powerful beings had sought but could not obtain.

"Are you really willing to give it to me, the Emperor?" Wei Chen asked. The beautiful scenery was secondary; cultivators didn't care so much. But the spiritual energy here was abundant, and the Daoist principles were clear—it was clearly a peerless blessed land.

Perhaps after several thousand or even tens of thousands of cycles of evolution, this place will definitely become one of the top Daoist temples in the primordial world.

"Besides you, fellow Daoist, who else is worthy of this place?" Zhuque asked Weichen with a serious expression.

"Hahaha! Fellow Daoist, you have sharp eyes and a discerning eye to recognize a hero." Wei Chen laughed heartily.

“In that case, I will send my clansmen to manage your dojo tomorrow,” Zhuque said with a smile.

Wei Chen waved his hand and said, "No need, I don't like being disturbed."

“Alright!” said Zhuque, then paused and added, “Is there anything else you need, fellow Daoist? Please don’t be shy, just name your terms—”

After a moment of contemplation, Wei Chen said, "I do not wish to be disturbed. Apart from fellow Daoist, I do not wish to see anyone else."

"Why is that? Does Fellow Daoist not want to discuss the Dao with the great beings of the Primordial World?" Zhuque asked, puzzled. Many innate deities dislike being disturbed.

But she didn't want to discuss the Dao with them; she had never heard of such an innate deity before. Countless innate deities longed to discuss the Dao with other deities of equal value, hoping to learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses.

An outsider – After years of getting along, Wei Chen has become an outsider in Zhu Que's eyes.

"A bunch of amateurs, what's there to discuss?" Wei Chen sneered at these powerful beings from the primordial era, even Hongjun might not be as good as him.

"But--"

"There's no 'but' about it." Wei Chen said arrogantly, as if he were the most important person in the world. "Discussing the Dao with a bunch of charlatans, wouldn't that lower my status as the Emperor?"

Zhuque remained silent. Over the years, she had come to see through Weichen. He was clearly lazy by nature and didn't want to spend time preaching, yet he put himself on a pedestal. He was truly an anomaly in the prehistoric world.

Zhuque didn't press the matter, and said helplessly, "Alright! Besides that, are there any other requirements?"

"That's all!" Wei Chen thought for a moment and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Fellow Daoist, if you have time, please come and visit me more often."

Zhuque's expression froze for a moment, then she said, "Doesn't fellow Daoist prefer peace and quiet?"

“Heh~~~” Wei Chen chuckled, “That depends on who it is. If it’s you, fellow Daoist, I would love to stay with you forever.”

"Hmph!" Zhuque snorted coldly and said, "Fellow Daoist, you want me to help you manage your Daoist temple, right?"

Having his thoughts exposed, Wei Chen wasn't embarrassed at all and continued to laugh, "If you don't believe me, that's fine. Anyway, I welcome you very much. You are welcome to come anytime."

And you know what? Although Suzaku is the leader of his clan, he's incredibly diligent. He's more efficient than a bee at handling all sorts of chores, and he does it exceptionally well.

Over the decades, there was a period of pause in between, during which Weichen benefited greatly.

She was so comfortable being served by Suzaku that she didn't want anyone to bother her, because she wanted Suzaku to help her.

"Hmph—" Zhuque glanced at Wei Chen with disdain, cursing inwardly. "I am the patriarch of a top-tier clan in the prehistoric world. You lazy bum, you actually treat me like a servant who manages the dojo. You are utterly despicable."

Zhuque was furious and turned to leave.

"Wait!" Wei Chen hurriedly called out. If he let her leave like this, it would be strange if she came back in the future.

With a warm smile, he said, "Name your price! I can afford it!"

Zhuque licked her fiery red lips, her eyes smiling, and stretched out her four slender hands.

"No, it's too expensive!" Wei Chen shook his head, clearly not accepting the price.

Zhuque lost a finger, yet still maintained her sweet smile.

Wei Chen continued shaking his head and said, "It's still too expensive!"

Zhuque impatiently removed another finger, as if this was the bottom line and she couldn't go any lower.

Wei Chen pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "The service attitude must satisfy this emperor, otherwise, this emperor will not make the payment!"

"make a deal--"

"make a deal--"

"come in!"

One day later—

Both parties were satisfied, and the man and woman were all smiles. Clearly, both sides were very pleased with this transaction.

…………

Wei Chen did not rush into seclusion, but instead took out the Eight Desolations Earth-Suppressing Pearl and the Mountain and River Map.

This is a powerful weapon; if we don't use it, we might actually incur divine punishment.

The Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies Formation is undoubtedly the strongest defensive formation, unmatched by any other. Its offensive power is also among the top offensive formations in the primordial world, in no way weaker than the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.

Of course, this is all predicated on whether you can unleash its power. To unleash its power, you must be well-versed in the laws of the earth.

The Law of Earth will also work, but its power will be much weaker.

The laws of earth are fundamentally different from the laws of the land, just like the ocean and the river.

The laws of the earth are all-encompassing, including not only soil, gold, stone, copper, and iron, and the changes in the earth's veins, but also all sorts of unknown substances buried in the earth.

In short, the laws of the earth are incredibly powerful and profound. To even begin to grasp their essence is extremely difficult.

Wei Chen felt a headache just thinking about it. It wasn't that he couldn't understand it, but that it would take too long, far too long, and he couldn't wait that long.

"Ugh... this is so troublesome. I'd better refine the restrictions first, and then try to comprehend the Law of Earth!"

After one Yuanhui (a unit of time in Chinese mythology), Wei Chen finished refining all the Eight Desolations Earth-Suppressing Pearls. The Mountain and River Map had been refined to the thirty-fifth layer of restrictions, making it a top-grade innate spiritual treasure!

He believed that even a Great Luo Golden Immortal at the peak of his cultivation could be trapped and then slowly tortured to death.

"Hehe~~" Wei Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud when he thought of the wonderful things.

He made up his mind to rob those ancient powerful figures and seize their most famous treasures.

Unfortunately, he couldn't fully utilize the Eight Desolations Earth-Suppressing Pearl. Firstly, his magical power was insufficient, making it impossible for him to unleash the power of a supreme innate treasure, or even the power of a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

Secondly, they do not understand the laws of the earth and are not skilled in their application, so they cannot even unleash one-tenth of its power.

Fortunately, with the Mountain and River Map as the base of the formation, its power was greatly enhanced.

Before long, he set up the Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies Formation.
