Dan Jing: You Have the Bearing of a Heavenly Emperor!

The gates of the Violet Cloud Palace were tightly shut.

When Dan Jing arrived, only Haotian was there. Though already in the Great Luo Realm, he still looked like a young Dao attendant.

Dan Jing looked at Haotian.

The first to arrive, Dan Jing raised a brow, stepped forward, and wore a friendly smile.

He took the initiative to greet Haotian:

"Kid, what's your name?"

Though he knew the little fellow's name, Dan Jing still asked.

Starting a conversation was child's play!

Haotian had not expected a Primordial Divine Being to take the initiative to speak to him. Flattered, he respectfully bowed to Dan Jing.

He replied:

"This junior is Haotian. Greetings, Senior!"

At those words.

Dan Jing raised a brow, and a hint of deeper meaning curled at the corners of his lips.

His golden eyes looked at Haotian:

"Hao means vast and boundless; Tian means supreme and unsurpassed!"

"Kid—"

"You have the bearing of a Heavenly Emperor who could unite the entire Primordial World!"

Hearing Dan Jing's words, Haotian, the young attendant standing before the gates of the Violet Cloud Palace, froze for a moment.

Then.

His expression returned to normal as he said:

"Senior jests."

This kid—

Did not believe Dan Jing's words at all!

Nor did he have any desire to rule the Primordial World—

Haotian was also a devout seeker of the Dao!

Now.

He followed at the side of the Sage who had enlightened him, listening to the Sage's teachings at every moment and comprehending the Sage's Dao rhythm everywhere. How smooth his cultivation had been!

Thinking back to when he had first been enlightened—

Haotian had merely been a minor Golden Immortal cultivator. Yet after just twenty yuanhui, he had already become a Great Luo.

He would have to be full to the point of bursting.

Before he, Haotian, would want to rule Heaven and Earth and become some damned Heavenly Emperor!

As Heavenly Emperor—

He would have to handle the affairs between Heaven and Earth, right? Balance the relationships among all sides, right? Deal with experts from every faction, right?

For all he knew, he might even have to swallow the foul temper of those primordial great gods!

How could that compare to staying peacefully in the Violet Cloud Palace and serving at the Sage's side?

Within the Violet Cloud Palace—

He, Haotian, was merely an attendant who could be ordered about at will. But outside the Violet Cloud Palace?

Who would not give Haotian some face?

Therefore.

Heavenly Emperor? Not even a dog would take that job!

"You don't believe me?"

Seeing Haotian's reaction, Dan Jing's lips curved slightly upward:

"Kid—"

"In the Primordial World, without strength, sooner or later you will be unable to act as you wish!"

"Hahaha..."

Having said that.

Dan Jing ignored Haotian's strange expression and cared even less about what he was thinking, strolling leisurely to one side.

He casually sat down and waited for the Violet Cloud Palace to open its gates.

"..."

Haotian stood before the gates of the Violet Cloud Palace, his thoughts churning without end.

A moment later.

He had already understood the crux of the matter—

As the Sage's attendant, there was only one circumstance in which he could become the "Heavenly Emperor" Senior Dan Jing spoke of.

That was—

No one in the Primordial World could shoulder such a great responsibility, and the Sage would personally appoint him as the so-called "Heavenly Emperor."

If that happened.

He truly would be unable to refuse!

Since that was the case, perhaps he should work harder, so that when the Sage needed him—

He would possess sufficient strength—

To take up the position of Heavenly Emperor!

Before long.

The many worldly guests came one after another, passing through Chaos and appearing outside the Violet Cloud Palace.

The overwhelming majority of the worldly guests—

Had already stepped into the realm of Great Luo perfection. Only a very small number remained in the late Great Luo Realm!

And many long-renowned experts.

Such as—

Red Cloud, Zhen Yuanzi, Kunpeng, Minghe, and the like had all successfully severed their corpses and entered the Quasi-Sage Realm.

Of course.

There was even less need to mention the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti—the six Sage disciples who arrived later.

"Dan Jing, you came awfully early!"

With no one around Dan Jing, Xi He took the initiative to approach and sat down beside him.

At her side.

Chang Xi sat down as well, her beautiful eyes falling upon Dan Jing.

She softly said:

"Hope you have been well."

Looking at Xi He and Chang Xi, the two sisters who had come to his side.

Dan Jing's lips curled upward:

"You two—"

"Interested in discussing a big deal?"

At those words.

Xi He froze for a moment, her beautiful eyes seeming to melt as she looked at Dan Jing.

She smiled and asked:

"A deal? What sort of deal do you want to discuss with us sisters?"

The meaning of business was not hard to understand.

With a little thought, Xi He and Chang Xi understood that Dan Jing was inviting the sisters to participate in some of his plans.

As for that.

Xi He was naturally interested—

After all, Dan Jing was the man with whom she had become increasingly fascinated and taken!

She now wanted more and more to discuss the Dao with Dan Jing!

"A big deal!"

Dan Jing grinned and casually said:

"After this round of Dao teachings, I'll find some time to visit you on the Lunar Star. You'll know then."

He wanted to visit the Lunar Star to see the two of us sisters?

Xi He's beautiful eyes brightened, and the smile on her face grew even lovelier.

That was perfect!

Entering the Lunar Star was easy, but leaving the Lunar Star—

Heh heh...

As the dignified Lunar Goddess, could she let Dan Jing leave whole and unscathed?

Absolutely not!

After arranging his future visit, Dan Jing began chatting idly with Xi He and Chang Xi.

This time—

Nothing else happened!

After all, few worldly guests dared to offend Dan Jing.

As for the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, and the others, once they realized Dan Jing did not care at all about the title of "Sage disciple," they had no desire to provoke him either.

At the very least—

Before they were confident they could flatten Dan Jing, they had no intention of provoking this madman!

More than a hundred years passed.

Haotian, standing before the Violet Cloud Palace gates, straightened his expression and stepped forward.

He bowed to the worldly guests waiting outside:

"The Master is about to begin his lecture. Esteemed guests, please enter in an orderly manner!"

As his words fell.

Haotian stepped aside, and the gates of the Violet Cloud Palace slowly opened.

The worldly guests entered the Violet Cloud Palace one after another amid chatter and laughter.

They took their seats.

Or found an empty spot, placed down a meditation cushion, and sat.

Once all the worldly guests had taken their seats.

The figure of the old Sage appeared upon the high platform.

An unfathomable Sage Dao rhythm flowed from him, causing all kinds of wondrous phenomena to emerge within the Violet Cloud Palace.

The old Sage on the high platform recited a glorious chapter of the Great Dao:

"Before Heaven and Earth existed, there was neither yin nor yang, neither life nor death, neither south nor north, neither form nor image, boundless and without measure..."

"..."

This third lecture—

Was exceedingly profound!

Though the opening portion was swiftly understood by all the worldly guests.

Very soon—

Those worldly guests who were only in the late Great Luo Realm began to lose pace with the lecture. Pain and confusion appeared on their faces one after another, and they withdrew from their state of listening to the Dao.

At the same time.

They could hear the glorious chapter of the Great Dao recited by the old Sage—

Yet they could no longer comprehend it. They could not even force themselves to memorize it.

After realizing this.

This group of worldly guests silently sighed in their hearts and stopped forcing the matter.

They understood—

For this lecture, they were merely accompanying runners.

Several hundred years later.

The worldly guests at Great Luo perfection likewise withdrew from their state of listening to the Dao.

Around two thousand years later.

Red Cloud, Zhen Yuanzi, and some of the Quasi-Sage experts also withdrew from their state of listening to the Dao, each bearing regret!

Around two thousand five hundred years later.

The Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti, the six Sage disciples, likewise left their state of listening to the Dao with some regret!

Three thousand years.

When the old Sage upon the high platform ceased his lecture.

Among the worldly guests—

Dan Jing also awoke from his state of listening to the Dao, fully satisfied.
