Nothing faster than grabbing it on the way!

"..."

Looking at the mountain ridge, where nothing had been left behind, the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Hong Yun, and everyone else fell silent.

Then.

The Three Pure Ones, having suffered a crushing loss, ignored everyone and turned into three streams of pure qi, vanishing between heaven and earth!

It was just as Dan Jing had said—

Without the strength to back up their swagger, they had been countered and defeated in one move. Even with their thick skins, the Three Pure Ones were too embarrassed to stay.

Once the Three Pure Ones left.

Nuwa and Hong Yun also departed in silence.

What else could they do if they stayed?

Losing so much face was bad enough.

But that madman Dan Jing had gone even further, leaving not even a scrap of opportunity behind!

Before long.

All that remained on the ridge were some Great Luo youngsters who had been beaten unconscious and forced into their true forms. They lay on the ground, immortal blood flowing, sleeping like babies.

In the Starry Sky.

Atop a golden auspicious cloud.

Dan Jing, laden with spoils, leisurely made his way back to the Sun Star!

This outing—

Had really hit the spot.

Not only had he acquired plenty of spirit treasures and spirit roots, he had also successfully put his early idea for the Chaos Bell's Fortune Collision into practice!

A bountiful harvest—cause for celebration!

As for why he had only injured the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Hong Yun, and the other primordial divine beings?

What a stupid question.

If not merely injure them, did you actually expect him to kill them?

Never mind whether that idea could be realized. Even if he really had the chance and could kill them, he still couldn't do it!

A beating.

Would, at most, create grudges and karmic ties. Dan Jing could handle those just fine!

But if he killed them—

Then his own reserves and blessings would soon be fucking squandered dry!

Dan Jing had no intention of making that kind of losing deal.

At this point.

Someone was bound to ask—

Master Jing, Master Jing, why did you dare kill Eastern King Gong, then?

Because I felt like it. Got a problem?

Again, it came down to this—

Eastern King Gong was weak, and their fates clashed.

More importantly—

Dan Jing felt that bastard Eastern King Gong was damaging his blessings, good fortune, luck, wealth, and everything else!

Why leave him alive to cause trouble instead of killing him?

Make no mistake.

Having devoted himself primarily to a Heavenly Secrets Great Dao, Dan Jing was an absolute master in this field!

His instincts in this regard were extremely accurate!

I can let you brag in front of me. I can even let you show off a little.

But you cannot damage my blessings and destiny aura!

Otherwise—

Your Master Jing will have no choice but to give you a "one-way Fortune flight ticket" to the Great Dao True Spirit Sea.

Back to the matter at hand.

After a leisurely journey, Dan Jing returned to his little abode, the Sun God Palace on the Sun Star!

After his birth, the Sun Star had evolved this Sun God Palace on its own, creating a Daoist sanctuary belonging to him alone.

It was called a Daoist sanctuary.

But in reality, the entire Sun God Palace—

Down to every brick and tile, had been formed from Great Thousand Worlds!

Taken as a whole, it was a Boundless Great Thousand World filled with endless treasures!

After all, the Great Thousand Worlds that made up every brick and tile of the Sun God Palace contained countless precious materials, such as solar immortal gold and solar fire essence.

The treasures in this Sun God Palace alone made Dan Jing filthy rich!

At that moment.

Inside the garden that the Sun God Palace had evolved on its own—

With a wave of his hand, Dan Jing arranged batches of nine heavens breath soil, black-yellow divine soil, five-colored radiant treasure clay, and the other divine soils he had picked up along the way while searching for the Primordial Gourd Vine on Mount Buzhou throughout the garden.

Then.

He took out the Primordial Gourd Vine, the Primordial Five-Needle Pine, the Primordial Black-Yellow Jujube Tree, and the other supreme innate spirit roots, replanting them in suitable divine soil.

Of course.

Those were all supreme innate spirit roots. There were even more high-, middle-, and low-grade innate spirit roots.

However—

As far as Dan Jing was concerned, innate spirit roots below supreme grade weren't worth putting on display, and he paid them little attention.

He had collected them.

Only because they were right there along the way.

After all, no way of accumulating wealth was faster than grabbing it on the way.

After planting the many spirit roots.

Dan Jing plucked six gourds from the Primordial Gourd Vine, leaving only the final, still-unripe Purple-Black Chaos Gourd.

Six supreme innate treasure gourds—

Although Dan Jing had no idea what use he had for these things.

That didn't stop him from raising his hand and completing their initial refinement in an instant.

Who the fuck would complain about having too many treasures?

After the Three Pure Ones attained the Sage Realm, they had innate treasures in their pockets by the handful!

In any case, Dan Jing would never complain about having too many treasures, just as a working stiff would never complain about having too much money.

"Hmm... the feeling's back! Time for seclusion!"

After putting away the six innate treasure gourds, Dan Jing leisurely headed beneath the Fusang Divine Tree, took out the Solar Meditation Mat, and sat down.

The next moment.

Dan Jing entered a state of enlightenment and cultivation, while also refining the many magical treasures he had obtained.

Having fun was important.

But he couldn't neglect cultivation for too long, either.

As the saying went—

Strength was always the foundation of swagger, cultivation was the true confidence behind arrogance, dignity rested only upon the might of magical treasures, and truth lay only within the methods of the Great Dao!

Those words—

Were solid truth, without a drop of watered-down nonsense!

In the flick of a finger.

Another yuanhui and more had passed.

On the Sun Star.

Beneath the Fusang Divine Tree beside the Sun God Palace—

Hum!

Golden immortal radiance flowed around Dan Jing as he sat cross-legged on the Solar Meditation Mat, while waves of perfected Great Luo aura surged ceaselessly!

At that moment.

Dan Jing had thoroughly assimilated the origins of his innate foundation that he had yet to fully digest, and had transformed everything he had gained from the old sage's first lecture into his own reserves!

He had successfully advanced his cultivation to the perfected level of the Great Luo Realm!

Of course.

So-called perfection—

Only meant reaching the perfected level defined by the old sage. It did not mean Dan Jing's cultivation could advance no further.

The old sage's division of the stages of cultivation within the Great Luo Realm was relatively detailed, and rather interesting, too.

So.

Dan Jing used the cultivation milestones the old sage had marked out to distinguish his current stage.

"Off we go, off we go!"

After emerging from seclusion, Dan Jing flew straight out of the Sun Star at his leisure, heading toward the Chaos beyond the heavens.

Ten yuanhui were almost up. The Violet Cloud Palace would soon open, and the old sage was about to give his second lecture.

If he arrived late again this time—

The old sage certainly wouldn't leave the door open for him!

So.

He couldn't be late. He had to set off early!

Meanwhile.

Throughout the Primordial Cosmos, red-dust guests eagerly set out from the finest immortal blessed lands and supreme Daoist sanctuaries, heading toward the Chaos beyond the heavens!

Of course.

Some weren't quite so happy!

For instance—

The Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Hong Yun, and the other red-dust guests who had received the Chaos Bell's affectionate "Fortune" care on the ridge of Mount Buzhou, and still hadn't fully recovered after more than a yuanhui in seclusion!
