Emperor Jun.

Emperor of the Demon Race.

Brother of Donghuang Taiyi.

Strong enough to dare to fight such terrifying races as the Witch Race.

He turned out to be an extremely handsome and bright-looking man, Li Ye considers himself already quite good-looking, but this man was above him.

Long hair casually draped over shoulders.

He exudes an aura of outstanding elegance and exceptional valiance.

Other than that.

Seems like there’s nothing else.

Li Ye doesn’t even feel any pressure.

"Li." He gazed at Li Ye, smilingly saying: "That’s quite an interesting surname, that Taoist Ancestor transformed into Li Er, coincidentally, it starts with Li."

"?"

A being of such stature shouldn’t say things lightly.

Could it be...

"Just saying casually, don’t think too much about it."

Emperor Jun laughed lightly and looked at Su Xing: "But you, this legacy name, don’t you want to change it?"

"If you don’t change it, when you reach the Upper Realm, you’ll face those wolfish little fellows whom Su Xing Dao You teased."

Su Xing.

That is a "Dao name."

But in the Lower Realm, some actually use it as a name.

The cause and effect here is too obvious, with a little thought the root can be discerned.

"There’s no need for you to worry about that, Senior." Su Xing rarely refused firmly: "After all, I wasn’t made by you, tracing back to the source, it was Nuwa who personally made me.

Just carrying star dust."

"But that star is still with me, don’t you want it back?" Emperor Jun still maintained a gentle smile: "Young friend, I sincerely wish to give you that star."

"Wait!"

Li Ye suddenly interrupted, then stepped in front of his master: "You speak such words before me, obviously to get me to do something, why not just say it straight?"

This made Su Xing chuckle silently.

Yet inwardly, ripples of emotion were hard to suppress.

Wow!

The disciple could actually stand before him, a feeling akin to watching a small tree gradually grow taller, sheltering him from wind, frost, and snow, so comforting it nearly brought tears to his eyes.

The grand Divinity Transformation Taoist would be like this.

Truly peculiar.

"You kid sure have filial piety, and to not hide it from you, I indeed plan to discuss some matters, just afraid you’d refuse."

Emperor Jun directly said: "I saw your ability, rare in the world... no, should say one of a kind."

"All living beings, even if they form karmic bonds, future consequences would change drastically, not to say like you symbiotic and mutually beneficial, able to produce offspring, continuing endlessly through generations."

The Human Race doesn’t quite understand this.

After all, humans with various creatures are extremely rare, a niche preference; but for a Demon Emperor this is indeed extremely powerful.

If in the Upper Realm, even any random demon tribe, he would readily elevate Li Ye to a close minister, to infuse him with the light of stars, granting eternal and undying life.

Yet, Li Ye is from the Human Race.

The Human Race’s tradition of protectionism is truly difficult to deal with.

If he dared make a move, perhaps by the next day, that Grandmaster Xuan Du would come here to have a good talk with him.

Oh.

Perhaps also some from Fire Cloud Cave.

Maybe even a scolding from the Holy Mother.

Thus he could only act like this, doing some things somewhat unworthy of him, sneaking here secretly, otherwise if those old folks knew, they could laugh until the next epoch.

These thoughts flashed through his mind.

He finally spoke his intention: "Besides telling you about the Upper Realm, I want to give you a Bai Ze Jade Pendant, Mr. Bai Ze is also renowned in our Demon Race, having his Jade Pendant allows you to choose among the Demon Race."

"Let the Demon Race flourish."

"As compensation, I will return to your master the star Nuwa made humans with, and when you ascend to the Upper Realm, grant you an official position in the Demon Race’s Celestial Court."

"Benefits?" Li Ye asked bluntly: "That item originally belonged to my master! You need to offer some tangible benefits, right."

"..."

A post in the demon’s Celestial Court isn’t considered a benefit?

My imperial favor isn’t considered a benefit?

"You child really don’t know..." He intended to say something but then shook his head with a smile, saying: "Tell me, what do you want."

"I want to write a piece of Nine Songs in your name." Li Ye locked eyes with him: "My Ancestor Master wrote of Donghuang Taiyi, I wish to write about you."

Huh?

This is truly ambitious.

Emperor Jun was amused: "He wrote about Donghuang Taiyi in some legend, you are merely a Nascent Soul..."

"It’s late-stage Nascent Soul!"

Li Ye raised his head high.

"..."

"Hahaha!"

At this, Su Xing couldn’t control anymore, directly laughing out loud.

The dignified Lord of the Demon Race’s Celestial Court.

Father of Sun and Moon.

Being retorted by his disciple like this— yet the other party looked tongue-tied, truly amusing.

Or rather, he wasn’t tongue-tied.

He genuinely loves his disciple.

If one loves talent, then they wouldn’t mind whatever grand deeds that talent does.

"Alright, alright."

"I’m very curious how you intend to write about me?"

"How to compress my vast and magnificent power into a small piece."

Emperor Jun watched Li Ye: "I’m right here, how do you plan to proceed?"

He was quite curious what Li Ye would do.

But then Li Ye took a leaf from the Spiritual Mechanism Vine, handed it to Emperor Jun: "Please imbue it with your star light... Lord of All Stars."

"You sure?"

At this moment Emperor Jun hesitated instead.

The post and other things can be said to be acceptable, but Li Ye accepting his power would be completely different.

"I’m sure."

"I want its leaf to be like a star, I want anyone who wishes to learn my divine techniques must obtain its approval — it is the embodiment of my will."

"Thus, it can always be by my side."

Since Li Ye said so.

Emperor Jun then became unreserved.

He stretched out his long fingers, squeezed a drop of essence blood from the tip, dropping onto the leaf, but the blood from a great power didn’t coagulate, instead transformed into a miniature star light vista.

As if painting the starry sky and the boundless Star Sea on the leaf.

"Done."

"I gave you my power, now, can you accept my invitation?"

Giving a drop of essence blood casually, Emperor Jun took out a jade pendant, the jade had Bai Ze’s engraving, lifelike.

Li Ye unflichingly took the jade pendant.

Then, with a slightly teasing tone asked: "Senior Emperor Jun, you could descend here, surely you received permission, right?"

Emperor Jun didn’t reply.

Just took a step back, turned his back to the two, gazing at the endless boundless starlight:

"Next, I want to tell you about some Upper Realm matters, or rather tell your master, he’s about to ascend, ought to know these things."
