Dan Jing: Old Man, You're Generous!!

"That felt great."

After opening his eyes, Dan Jing could not help but sigh from the bottom of his heart.

He raised his gaze toward the Sage seated on the high platform—

This old man was a good guy!

At the very least.

When it came to preaching the Dao—

He truly gave them the real goods.

As for whether they could grasp them, that depended on the abilities of the gathered seekers of the mortal world.

Obviously—

Dan Jing had abilities in abundance!

"Dan Jing, you're amazing!"

Not long after Dan Jing came back to his senses, Xi He's soft voice sounded beside him.

At the same time.

Chang Xi voiced her admiration:

"Dan Jing, you're fucking awesome!"

Hearing this.

Dan Jing grinned, his face full of self-satisfaction:

"Of course I am!"

Yet in Xi He and Chang Xi's eyes, such pride was only natural.

The other seekers of the mortal world might not have noticed.

But Xi He and Chang Xi knew very well—

During this third lecture, Dan Jing alone had listened through the entire session!

To a certain extent.

The Sage old man's third lecture had already drawn a line between the strong and weak among all the seekers of the mortal world.

Among them—

The weakest tier consisted of those Great Luo late-stage seekers who had listened for only a little over a hundred years; slightly better were the Perfected Great Luo Realm seekers who had lasted several hundred years.

Better still were the Quasi-Sage experts who had lasted roughly two thousand years.

Above them—

Were the Sage old man's six disciples.

Finally.

There was Dan Jing alone, in a tier all his own, having listened through the entire lecture!

At this moment.

The Xi He and Chang Xi sisters were no longer surprised that Dan Jing could pin down the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, and the others and beat them senseless all by himself.

Their foundations and levels were entirely different. Was that not a complete crushing?

Dan Jing had every right to be proud of how fucking awesome he was!

If it had been someone else—

They would probably have been even more arrogant and haughty than Dan Jing!

"I followed Heaven's mandate and preached the Dao to all living beings three times. Now, it is complete."

The Sage atop the high platform did not leave immediately. Instead, he looked at the gathered seekers of the mortal world with a wistful tone.

He declared aloud:

"After today, you need not come again."

None of the seekers of the mortal world found the Sage's words surprising.

The Dao—

Began with one, came to fruition with three, stood firm with five, flourished with seven, and reached its utmost with nine!

The Sage had preached the Dao three times. It conformed to reason, and there was nothing improper about it.

Only—

After the first lecture, the Sage had chosen the head of the male immortals and the head of the female immortals; after the second, he had accepted the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti as his six disciples.

The gathered seekers of the mortal world were all rather curious.

What would the Sage do this time?

The many seekers of the mortal world, including Xi He and Chang Xi, were all curious about what instructions the Sage would give next.

Only Dan Jing was not curious!

He knew perfectly well what the Sage old man was about to do—

Give his disciples Dharma treasures and Primordial Purple Qi.

And distribute to the seekers of the mortal world the treasures the Sage old man had obtained during his travels through the Primordial World in years past!

The Primordial Purple Qi had nothing to do with Dan Jing.

As for the treasures the Sage old man personally gave to the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti, even if he wanted to snatch them, he would have to mind the Sage old man's attitude.

Otherwise...

When robbing them, perhaps he could leave each of them one, just as a token gesture?

Dan Jing's thoughts drifted farther and farther—

As for the Sage old man distributing Primordial Purple Qi and giving treasures to his disciples, he paid no attention to it at all!

Not long after.

An unexpected, delighted laugh interrupted Dan Jing's thoughts.

Red Cloud, seated beside Zhen Yuanzi, held a strand of Primordial Purple Qi in his hand, his face filled with wild joy.

He laughed:

"It actually chose this poor Daoist! Excellent!"

Watching the ecstatic Red Cloud.

Dan Jing, who had come back to his senses, raised a brow, a mocking smile appearing on his face.

Well, well—

Others came to hear the Dao and returned with their arms full of gains!

This fool came to hear the Dao, collected a "death notice," and did not even know it. Instead, he was smugly delighted.

What a talent!

After one glance.

Dan Jing withdrew his gaze—

It had nothing to do with him. There was no need to care.

However, Dan Jing noticed that the sharp gazes of many experts, including Kunpeng, Minghe, and the Queen Mother of the West, had all fallen upon Red Cloud.

There was a good show to watch—

Later, he would definitely follow everyone to take a look!

It was also at this moment.

The Sage atop the high platform spoke once more:

"Upon the Treasure-Dividing Cliff within the palace are spiritual treasures I obtained in years past. Count them as a portion of your opportunity. Take them according to your fate and affinity."

"Go on, all of you!"

As the Sage's words fell.

The seekers of the mortal world who had failed to obtain Primordial Purple Qi all rose from their meditation mats.

Led by Haotian, they headed toward the Treasure-Dividing Cliff within Violet Cloud Palace.

Xi He and Chang Xi rose as well, only to see Dan Jing still seated motionlessly upon the Solar Meditation Mat.

They could not help feeling a little curious.

Xi He asked:

"Dan Jing, aren't you going?"

Hearing this.

Dan Jing, seated atop the meditation mat, shook his head. He said nothing, merely signaling with his eyes for Xi He and Chang Xi to go ahead.

Seeing this.

Xi He and Chang Xi did not ask further. After nodding, they followed the gathered seekers of the mortal world away.

Before long.

Only Dan Jing and the Sage old man atop the high platform remained within Violet Cloud Palace.

Feeling the supreme power that had bound him to the Solar Meditation Mat.

Dan Jing fearlessly raised his pair of golden eyes and stared straight at the Sage old man upon the high platform.

Seeing that the Sage old man did not speak.

Dan Jing took the initiative and said:

"Say, old man, if you kept me here alone, you ought to have something to say, right?"

Looking at the carefree and unruly Dan Jing.

The Sage old man atop the high platform remained calm and composed.

He had seen countless living beings—

A troublemaking personality as arrogant, unrestrained, and fond of spectacle as Dan Jing's was hardly unique!

It was merely that none of those spectacle-lovers he had seen before possessed foundations and capital like Dan Jing's.

With a thought.

The Sage old man lifted his hand, and with a wave, two streaks of treasure light descended before Dan Jing.

At the same time.

More than ten streaks of treasure light flew over from the other end of Violet Cloud Palace, all of them gathering before Dan Jing.

"Whoa! Fine treasures!"

Dan Jing glanced at the two great spiritual treasures personally bestowed by the Sage old man—

One was the Primordial Measure Ruler, a postnatal merit supreme treasure whose mysterious yellow light flowed with a faint aura of order, its power far surpassing that of a top-grade spiritual treasure.

The other was the God-Slaying Spear, a pitch-black spear devoid of light, emanating towering fiendish Baleful Intent. It was riddled with cracks, and though damaged and fallen from the ranks of supreme treasures, it remained a top-grade innate spiritual treasure of slaughter.

As for the more than ten innate spiritual treasures taken from the Treasure-Dividing Cliff that were fated with Dan Jing.

Before the Primordial Measure Ruler and the God-Slaying Spear—

They were not worth mentioning at all!

Without the slightest ceremony.

Dan Jing waved his hand and directly collected the Primordial Measure Ruler, the God-Slaying Spear, and all the many innate spiritual treasures.

He smiled as he thanked the Sage old man:

"Old man, you're generous!!!"

After seeing Dan Jing accept the treasures.

The Sage old man raised his hand again, and a strand of Primordial Purple Qi appeared in his palm.

Then.

He sent it before Dan Jing as well!

Looking at the Primordial Purple Qi that had descended before him yet did not leave, instead joyfully circling around him.

Dan Jing's eyes lit up—

Whoosh!

His little hand flashed out, and he directly collected the Primordial Purple Qi as well.

What a joke.

This Primordial Purple Qi delivered right to his doorstep—

He would be a fool not to take it!

As for whether he would refine it, or whether he would seek to pluck the Sage Realm status?

That could wait until later—

Benefits first, stuff them into his pocket!
