Afterwards, Di Jun and Tai Yi invited Xuan Tian into the inner hall for a seat. Di Jun expressed his deep gratitude to Xuan Tian, promising that he would never refuse any request Xuan Tian might have. Xuan Tian, without any hesitation, said that he had nowhere else to go. The Wu tribe was rampant in the primordial world, and he planned to move to Taiyin Star to become a neighbor of the Heavenly Court. Although Di Jun expressed skepticism, he was also pleased. Having a powerful figure near the Heavenly Court would provide some assistance, and by moving away from the primordial world, he would have less contact with the Wu tribe, thus establishing a closer relationship. It was a win-win situation, so why not?
So Xuantian went back and packed some things, but he only had two attendants, so there wasn't much to pack. The two attendants had been by his side for a long time, and their cultivation had improved; they were quite talented and already possessed the cultivation of a Taiyi True Immortal. If they could attain the Great Luo Dao Fruit, they would be considered experts in the prehistoric world. Xuantian didn't take the two attendants with him, only instructing them to look after Penglai. Afterwards, he went alone to the Taiyin Star.
Xuan Tian arrived at Taiyin Star and found it indeed resembled the moon of later generations, except it lacked the numerous craters and holes found on the moon itself. There was only a single osmanthus tree, the very one Wu Gang chopped down in later generations. Xuan Tian had come to request Taiyin Star from the two emperors, but his true purpose was to find its treasures. Both stars were formed from Pangu's two eyes, so how could the Sun Star have produced two great deities and supreme treasures, while Taiyin Star hadn't even produced a single deity? Xuan Tian refused to believe this, and most people in the prehistoric world didn't believe it either. Those with the ability had all come to investigate, and indeed, they found nothing. Taiyin Star was completely smooth and bare, except for the osmanthus tree. While the osmanthus tree was a spiritual root, it certainly wasn't a top-tier spiritual treasure.
Xuan Tian refused to believe it. He figured if it wasn't on the surface, it must be underground. But hadn't others considered this? People had already gone down to check, and found nothing. Xuan Tian, still unconvinced, ventured into the sun star.
A month passed, and Xuan Tian continued to search and explore the Sun Star. He had used Kong Xuan's method of cultivating his clone technique and comprehension of the escape method from the Five-Colored Divine Light, making him incredibly fast. He had searched the entire Sun Star, but found absolutely nothing. This infuriated him.
Xuan Tian thought there might really be no treasure, and his trip had been in vain. Frustrated, he spotted a sweet osmanthus tree and, thinking he couldn't leave empty-handed, decided to dig it up. However, the tree was indeed peculiar; Xuan Tian couldn't dig it out. It would grow back after every attempt, and the tree he dug out would wither immediately. Unconvinced, Xuan Tian dug it up and immediately put it back into his gourd, but the same thing happened. Xuan Tian wondered: Could this sweet osmanthus tree be a treasure? Why hasn't anyone discovered it? It turned out that previous visitors, like Xuan Tian, had thoroughly searched the Taiyin Star, but all had found nothing. Moreover, the sweet osmanthus tree wasn't a useful innate spiritual root. Those who came to the Taiyin Star were all people with great supernatural powers, and naturally wouldn't bother with the sweet osmanthus tree, nor would they, like Xuan Tian, simply scrape it away. Therefore, no one had noticed the tree's peculiarity.
Xuan Tian thought that this osmanthus tree was either a treasure or there was a treasure inside, so he simply went inside to check it out. Unexpectedly, he actually found something after he went in.
Upon entering the osmanthus tree, Xuan Tian discovered a grand array—the Primordial Wood Chaos Array. Inside was a jade disc. This array absorbed the spiritual energy of the Taiyin Star, using the jade disc as its core, forming its own chaotic array. It was perpetually regenerated by the essence of Wood, but its internal structure was extremely fragile. Fortunately, Xuan Tian had a solution. He used a gourd—a top-tier Primordial Spiritual Treasure—to hold the osmanthus tree in place. He also used a green lotus to envelop Xuan Tian. Entering the array, because the green lotus also possessed the Wood attribute, the array did not attack Xuan Tian. Xuan Tian reached the array's core and saw the jade disc lying quietly within, emanating an ancient aura. Xuan Tian was overjoyed; to encounter such a treasure was truly a stroke of good luck. He began to refine the jade disc with his mind. Three years passed before Xuan Tian finally completed the refinement and learned what the jade disc truly was.
Originally, there was a sweet osmanthus tree in the chaos, a primordial spiritual root. Although it couldn't compare to the six great primordial spiritual roots, it still had its uses. Within it was the Primordial Wood Chaos Array. Simply by taking root in the earth, it could provide the array with a continuous supply of spiritual energy, making it impossible to break by force. Later, when Pangu separated heaven and earth, the Jade Disc of Creation shattered. Most of its fragments were obtained by Hongjun. After attaining enlightenment, Hongjun, seeking further advancement, used the fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation as a vessel to merge with the Heavenly Dao, gaining control over most of the Heavenly Dao's laws. However, because some fragments were not found, he couldn't fully master them. This is why there's the saying that while the overall trend of the Heavenly Dao remains unchanged, minor aspects can be altered. That small fragment was the very piece that Xuan Tian had refined. When it broke, this fragment collided with the osmanthus tree, which had also been cleaved by the creation of the world, and merged with the osmanthus tree, preserving its spiritual root. Afterward, it absorbed spiritual energy on the Taiyin Star to recover. If Xuan Tian had not taken this jade disc this time, it is likely that after a long time, the osmanthus tree would have developed sentience and become a great supernatural being no weaker than a saint.
The jade disc in Xuan Tian's hand was severely damaged, containing only half of the Primordial Purple Qi. However, it was still a top-tier spiritual treasure, containing a portion of the Great Dao of Creation, which could be used for cultivation. If one became a saint, one could also use this treasure to merge with a part of the Heavenly Dao. Although not as powerful as Hong Jun, it would still be much more powerful than other saints. Xuan Tian was extremely lucky.
Xuan Tian emerged from the grand formation, sighing with awe. He thought to himself that if it weren't for his persistent pursuit and never-give-up spirit, he probably wouldn't have encountered such a great treasure. (Narcissistic, my luck has struck!)
Then he broke off a branch from the osmanthus tree. Although this formation was incomplete in terms of the five elements, it was superior because of its innate nature. While it couldn't compare to the power of the three great killing formations of the primordial era, it was comparable to the Bodhi Formation of the Western Sect in later generations. It would be quite good for guarding the mountain gate in the future. He refined the osmanthus branch into a single branch, and remembering that Zhunti had the Seven Treasures Tree, he refined the osmanthus branch into nine branches, calling it the Nine Treasures Tree. (Just kidding.)
