Dan Jing Wants It, Dan Jing Gets It

Attaining the Dao—

This was no simple matter!

Even with Dan Jing's confidence in himself, he did not think he could attain the Dao successfully just by casually giving it a try.

Of course.

He was not worried that he would fail to attain the Dao—

At worst, he could gather some Heavenly Dao merit, then activate the ten percent of World-Creation Merit he possessed and force his way to attaining the Dao!

With merit in his pocket, Dan Jing did not feel the slightest bit timid.

He had confidence—

That was just how overbearing he was!

A hundred years later.

After spending a hundred years tossing and turning atop the Solar Meditation Mat, trying every possible posture as he thought, Dan Jing still could not grasp the key to how he should attain the Dao.

So he no longer had much interest in continuing to rack his brains.

He sat upright directly.

"Random thoughts are pointless. I'll handle other matters first!"

Dan Jing had an excellent habit—

Anything he could not figure out, understand, or accomplish for the time being, he would conveniently postpone!

He would leave it all to his future self to solve!

As for his present self... hehehe!

Naturally, he only needed to focus on what lay before him, on what he was capable of doing right now.

And—

He could simply find some fun and please himself.

The life of seeking the Dao ought to be this plain, unadorned, and joyful!

"It is time to get my hands on the merit opportunity of 'Operation of the Sun and Moon.'"

Dan Jing felt somewhat anxious.

There was no other reason—

Ever since Xi He and Chang Xi had invited him, Dan Jing had felt that these peerlessly beautiful sisters wanted a greater share of his Heavenly Dao merit!

If Dan Jing had wanted to form a Heavenly Marriage with these gorgeous sisters, that would have been one thing.

There was nothing wrong with being more generous toward his own women.

But the problem was that Dan Jing had no such intention, yet he could still sense that Xi He and Chang Xi wanted a greater share of his Heavenly Dao merit.

Could that be allowed?

Absolutely not!

Was he, Dan Jing, some generous Primordial Divine Being?

No, he was not.

Dan Jing was insatiably greedy, repaid every slight, and had a terribly small heart!

"I'll take a trip to the Lunar Star!"

Dan Jing rose to his feet and headed straight beyond the Sun Star.

He silently considered the plans that would follow.

"I'll give Xi He and Chang Xi the detailed operational patterns belonging to the Lunar Star, and let them sort them out first."

"After that—"

"I'll still need to go to the Primordial World and find some innate spiritual treasures related to 'temporal sequence,' as well as refine some acquired spiritual treasures related to 'temporal sequence'!"

There were certainly innate spiritual treasures connected to "time" and "temporal sequence" in the lands of the Primordial World.

These—

Were for conveniently claiming the smaller opportunity of establishing a "Temporal Sequence Marker" after he completed the great opportunity of "Operation of the Sun and Moon"!

As for refining acquired spiritual treasures related to "temporal sequence"—

That was simply to fleece every last bit of merit connected to establishing "temporal sequence."

They were merely a few small acquired spiritual treasures.

They were things he could refine with a wave of his hand, so there was no harm in trying!

At worst, it was just taking a swing whether there were dates on the tree or not.

"Speaking of the most powerful innate spiritual treasure related to 'time'... it should be the Kunlun Mirror in Queen Mother of the West's possession, right?"

On his way to the Lunar Star, the image of Queen Mother of the West flashed through Dan Jing's mind.

Of course.

He had no interest in Queen Mother of the West, the leader of the female immortals!

Dan Jing simply felt that Queen Mother of the West's companion spiritual treasure—the Kunlun Mirror—

Was a fine thing, that was all.

"Should I snatch it?"

The instant he thought of the Kunlun Mirror, that was the first thought that arose in Dan Jing's mind.

Afterward.

He shook his head and suppressed that tempting notion.

Better not rob her.

It was not because he feared Queen Mother of the West, nor because he did not covet the Kunlun Mirror.

He feared no one, nor would he ever complain about having too many treasures in his collection.

But how should he put it?

Dan Jing had to think further ahead—

First.

Queen Mother of the West was tactful and had never taken the initiative to provoke him.

Dan Jing might have been arrogant, greedy, and shameless, but he still had some bottom line!

As for outright seizing things by force, he... could not really bring himself to do that.

Second.

The Sage's three rounds of preaching had already passed.

Before long, chaos would likely descend upon heaven and earth!

And once chaos came, the tribulation would arrive.

Then who would withstand the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Witch Race, who would emerge from Mount Buzhou with a thunderous boom of heaven and earth, proclaiming, "Laozi makes his dazzling entrance"?

No one knew.

But although Queen Mother of the West, as the leader of the female immortals personally appointed by the Sage, had little standing before Dan Jing, she still possessed a certain degree of influence throughout the Primordial World.

Perhaps—

This little lass would have to enter the tribulation and withstand a wave of pressure from the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Witch Race!

Leaving the Kunlun Mirror with her would also make her better able to take a beating.

That way, when the time came, he would not get dragged into the mess again!

Dan Jing was not afraid of being dragged in; he was confident he could resolve it.

What he feared was being endlessly pestered!

Therefore.

Let workhorses like Queen Mother of the West bear more of the pressure!

If this little lass truly fell within the tribulation—

Wouldn't the Kunlun Mirror, the Plain-Colored Cloud Realm Banner, and all the many treasures currently in her hands become Dan Jing's?

Dan Jing wanted it, Dan Jing got it.

It was that simple!

Lunar Star.

Within the Moon Goddess Palace—

The Lunar Moon Laurel Tree, one of the finest innate spiritual roots, grew alone in the tranquil garden of the Moon Goddess Palace. Spiritual radiance flowed around it as blossom after blossom of moon laurel flower bloomed!

Beneath the Moon Laurel Tree.

The sisters Xi He and Chang Xi were sipping Lunar Moon Laurel Brew—

Even throughout the Primordial World, this could be called one of the finest wines.

The Primordial Divine Beings fortunate enough to have tasted it could be counted on one hand!

Just as the two sisters were raising cups and drinking together.

Their movements halted at the same time. They exchanged a glance, surprise rippling through both their eyes.

At the same time.

Xi He's eyes also gained a trace more delight and infatuation!

She rose directly to her feet.

"He's here."

"I'll go welcome him to the Lunar Star. Little sister, you..."

Xi He had originally intended to have Chang Xi prepare some refreshments, only to see Chang Xi rise as well, a faint smile on her face.

She said:

"Sister, I'll go with you!"

Upon hearing Chang Xi's words.

Xi He was momentarily stunned—

Her younger sister had always preferred peace and quiet and disliked socializing with others.

Whenever the two sisters went traveling and friends came to visit, Xi He had always been the one to receive and converse with them.

Only when facing Dan Jing had Chang Xi shown a slight difference.

But that was all!

However,

Looking at it now—

What Xi He had previously judged to be "that was all" was no longer merely "that was all."

She smiled softly, waves of light shimmering in her eyes, and did not mind Chang Xi's sudden action.

The sun was indeed the sun—

The sisters' gazes were remarkably aligned!

"Then let us go together!"

Xi He smiled and nodded, taking Chang Xi's jade-like hand as they hurried toward the edge of the Lunar Star.

With her younger sister's help, Xi He was even more confident that she could fool Dan Jing into...

Ahem, ahem, ahem—

That she could invite Dan Jing into the Lunar Star and properly entertain him!

As the saying went—

When sisters were of one heart, the Great Dao could be expected.

That was what Xi He thought, and naturally, that was what she would do.

Not long afterward.

When Xi He and Chang Xi had appeared outside the Lunar Star for only a brief moment, a golden rainbow came flying from the direction of the Sun Star and descended beyond the Lunar Star!
