Dan Jing: Shameless Beyond Measure

That was going too far.

Far too far!

Yuanshi's eyes flew wide with rage. He was about to step forward, determined to risk his life if necessary to let Dan Jing know just how formidable the Three Pure Ones were!

"Second Brother."

Before Yuanshi could take a step, Laozi raised a hand and stopped him.

Yuanshi turned to glance at his elder brother.

A look of confusion appeared on Yuanshi's face.

"Big Brother?"

Laozi shook his head.

His expression had already returned to calm, without the slightest trace of anger.

It was as though what Dan Jing intended to seize by force was not his accompanying supreme treasure, but some insignificant little trinket!

He said:

"Continuing to fight will only bring further humiliation! Today's grudge will be settled someday!"

Having lost an accompanying Dharma treasure of the supreme-treasure grade—

Laozi was naturally heartbroken, but he was also exceedingly rational and calm.

He knew perfectly well that if this continued, the only result would be another brutal beating.

So—

This humiliation—

He endured it.

Their strength was inferior.

Other than endurance, there was no other way.

"Big Brother..."

Yuanshi moved his lips as he looked at Laozi, who had made an unquestionable decision.

In the end—

He suppressed the raging fury in his heart, gritted his teeth, followed Laozi, and headed toward an empty spot outside Violet Cloud Palace.

Tongtian did the same—

After being beaten again and having a handy Dharma treasure snatched away, Tongtian had finally recognized the gap between them.

At the same time—

He had finally understood that Dan Jing, this madman—

Really gave no one any face, had no social finesse whatsoever, and was explosively powerful. Straightforward as Tongtian was, he no longer had any intention of continuing the fight.

He was merely frank by nature, somewhat blunt and reckless.

He was not an idiot!

Of course—

He had no interest in seeking abuse either—

Knowing he was outmatched yet insisting on fighting to the death was nothing but a stupidity called hot-bloodedness.

He, Tongtian, might be a blockhead, but he was not foolish!

Unable to defeat Dan Jing, he would temporarily avoid the sharp edge and await the right time!

The Three Pure Ones had actually yielded.

This development caught all the worldly guests outside Violet Cloud Palace completely off guard—

When had the Three Pure Ones ever not looked down from above, with their nostrils pointed at the sky?

Even a powerhouse like Patriarch Kunpeng was dismissed by Yuanshi as "furred and horned" or "damp-born and egg-laying."

They could actually compromise?

Where had their usual arrogance and haughtiness gone?

Why was it that before Dan Jing, this madman—

The Three Pure Ones looked... like three little lolis?

That faintly submissive air was rather amusing.

Tsk, tsk, tsk—

Was this the unknown side of the Pangu Three Pure Ones?

While inwardly mocking the Three Pure Ones—

The worldly guests all covertly glanced at Dan Jing, who was refining the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda, with curiosity and awe in their eyes.

This one was truly powerful!

Not just anyone possessed the strength to beat the Three Pure Ones into swallowing all their fury without daring to utter another word.

Of course—

After this beating—

Some worldly guests who had initially been bold enough to consider befriending Dan Jing promptly put that thought aside!

Forget it, forget it.

Madman Dan Jing might be strong, but if he kept being this arrogant, sooner or later he would suffer terribly!

And this person did not look like he would make a very good friend!

His mouth was far too foul.

Among the worldly guests—

Xi He watched Dan Jing, who had isolated himself from everyone else. Beneath her gentle, flowing eyes flickered traces of infatuation.

Without the slightest hesitation, she started toward Dan Jing, who sat alone.

Chang Xi, beside her, froze for a moment before following Xi He.

The two sisters came to Dan Jing's side together.

Xi He took the initiative to speak:

"Fellow Daoist Dan Jing, may we sit beside you?"

Hearing Xi He's question—

Dan Jing, who was refining the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda, turned to glance at the pair of sisters and raised his brows.

Then he nodded.

"Suit yourselves!"

At that—

Xi He pulled her younger sister Chang Xi along and sat down beside Dan Jing.

Her beautiful eyes shimmered as she watched Dan Jing continue refining the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda.

She asked curiously:

"Fellow Daoist Dan Jing, I heard that not long ago, at Mount Buzhou, you exchanged blows with a number of fellow Daoists?"

The moment Xi He opened her mouth, she directly asked for the details of the battle atop Mount Buzhou's ridge years ago.

Moreover, she made no effort to conceal her voice. She was open and direct, allowing every worldly guest outside Violet Cloud Palace to hear her clearly.

In an instant—

The many worldly guests who did not know the details all pricked up their ears, each silently devoting a portion of their attention to listening.

This gossip—

They all wanted to hear it!

After all, the cultivation of Primordial Divine Beings was rather dull. Even the tiniest scrap of gossip was enough for them to remember for dozens of epochs.

And gossip like the battle at Mount Buzhou—

Concerning madman Dan Jing, the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Red Cloud, and all the other worldly guests and Great Luo youngsters, they could remember it until the end of heaven and earth!

Hurry up and tell it!

Tell it already!

Paying no attention to the little movements of the worldly guests—

After hearing Xi He's question, Dan Jing raised his brows and turned to the sisters.

A smile appeared on his face.

"You've heard this story?"

Xi He nodded.

A ripple of light flowed through her beautiful eyes, concealing infatuation beneath it.

She nodded.

"I only heard that Fellow Daoist displayed tremendous might. As for the particulars, I have never learned them!"

Chang Xi, beside her, nodded as well.

"Precisely so!"

She indicated that her sister was right.

After hearing the sisters' answer—

Dan Jing raised his hand and put away the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda, placing it within his body to continue refining it.

At the same time—

He began recounting the tale with great enthusiasm:

"Then I'll tell you about it."

"About four epochs ago, I traveled through the Primordial World and passed by a mountain ridge on Mount Buzhou..."

"..."

"Good heavens!"

"I used the World-Purifying White Lotus and the River Diagram and Luo Scripture to anchor heaven and earth, showing that this place already had an owner. The other fellow Daoists took one look and politely left."

"Only the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Red Cloud, and the rest were quite different!"

"Guess what they did?"

"That Supreme Pure Tongtian opened his mouth and said, 'You there, Daoist, don't fail to appreciate kindness.' If that were said to you, could you endure it?"

"A bunch of useless scraps I flattened with one move, without even the strength to fight back, actually dared threaten me?"

"Then fight!"

"..."

"Pangu Orthodox Lineage? Pangu Three Pure Ones? With this little strength? You disgrace the Great Venerable and tarnish the name 'Pangu'!"

"Shameless! Ptooey!"

"..."

"They had not the slightest sense of righteousness. Dignified Primordial Divine Beings actually tried to seize things through trickery and force. A whole group ganged up on me alone, yet I knocked them all flat with one move, and they did not dare let out a single fart!"

"Disgraceful! They had thrown their faces away entirely!"

"..."

Wonderful!

It was simply too wonderful!

Xi He and Chang Xi sat like obedient listeners, their beautiful eyes shining as they gazed fervently at Dan Jing.

As he spoke—

He even gestured through the scenes from back then—

This was him getting himself completely fired up by his own storytelling!

By the end, Dan Jing became more and more delighted the more he talked.

He utterly ignored the Three Pure Ones on the other side, whose faces were growing darker and darker, as well as Nuwa, Red Cloud, and the others, who were becoming increasingly awkward.

That was only natural—

Dan Jing believed that as long as he was enjoying himself, that was enough. What did he care what anyone else thought?

Besides, he had not embellished anything!

He had merely added a little more contempt and disdain toward the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Red Cloud, and everyone else.

Otherwise, why did no one else step out to refute him?

Because Dan Jing spoke facts, grounds, and evidence, so he was not afraid of their rebuttals at all.

And as the victor who had truly knocked every one of them flat in a single move, was there any problem with him equally looking down on all these losers?

Not a problem at all!

Besides—

If you dared step forward—

Could it be that you thought Dan Jing's Chaos Bell was not heavy enough?
