Dao-Proven Realm—
This was no simple matter!
Even with Dan Jing's confidence in himself, he did not think he could casually succeed in reaching the Dao-Proven Realm.
Of course.
He was not worried that he would be unable to reach the Dao-Proven Realm—
At worst, he could gather some Heavenly Dao Merit, then activate the tenth of World-Creation Merit he possessed and force his way into the Dao-Proven Realm!
With Merit in his pocket, Dan Jing was not the least bit timid.
He had confidence—
That was just how overbearing he was!
A hundred years later.
After rolling around atop the Solar Meditation Mat in every conceivable posture for a hundred years, Dan Jing still could not grasp the key to how he should reach the Dao-Proven Realm.
So he lost much of his interest in continuing to rack his brains over it.
He sat up directly.
"Letting my thoughts run wild is pointless. I'll handle other matters first!"
Dan Jing had a very good habit—
Things he could not figure out, could not understand, or could not accomplish for the moment, he would conveniently put off!
He handed them all over to his future self to solve!
And as for his current self... hehehe!
Naturally, he only needed to focus on what lay before him, on the things within his present capabilities.
And—
All he had to do was find amusement and please himself.
The life of seeking the Dao should be this plain, unadorned, and joyful!
"It is time to secure 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 breathtaking sisters wanted a larger share of his Heavenly Dao Merit!
If Dan Jing had intended to enter into a Sky Marriage with this pair of peerless sisters, that would have been one thing.
There was nothing wrong with being generous toward one's own women.
But the issue was that Dan Jing had no such intention, yet he sensed that Xi He and Chang Xi wanted to divide up more of his Heavenly Dao Merit.
Could that possibly fly?
Absolutely not!
Was he, Dan Jing, some generous Primordial Divine Being?
He was not.
Dan Jing was greedy beyond measure, nursed grudges over the smallest slight, and had a very narrow heart!
"Let's make a trip to the Lunar Star!"
Dan Jing rose to his feet and headed straight beyond the Sun Star.
Silently considering his subsequent plans, he thought,
"I'll give Xi He and Chang Xi all the detailed operational laws belonging to the Lunar Star and let them sort them out first."
"After that—"
"I'll also need to go to the Primordial Land, find some innate spirit treasures connected to 'temporal sequence,' and refine some Houtian Spirit Treasures connected to 'temporal sequence' as well!"
There definitely were innate spirit treasures associated with "time" and "temporal sequence" on the Primordial Land.
Those—
Were for him to conveniently seize the smaller opportunity of establishing the "Temporal Sequence Marker" after completing the great opportunity of "Operation of the Sun and Moon"!
As for refining Houtian Spirit Treasures related to "temporal sequence"—
That was simply to strip clean all the Merit related to establishing "temporal sequence."
They were merely a few small Houtian Spirit Treasures.
They were things he could refine with a wave of his hand, so there was no harm in trying!
It was nothing more than taking a swing whether there were dates on the tree or not.
"Speaking of the strongest innate spirit treasure of 'time'... it should be the Kunlun Mirror in Queen Mother of the West's hands, right?"
On the road 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 merely thought that Queen Mother of the West's companion spirit treasure—the Kunlun Mirror—
Was a good thing, that was all.
"Should I snatch it?"
The moment he thought of the Kunlun Mirror, that was the first thought that arose in Dan Jing's mind.
Then—
He shook his head and suppressed that tempting thought.
Better not steal it.
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 needed to consider things further ahead—
First.
Queen Mother of the West knew how to read the situation and had never taken the initiative to provoke him.
Dan Jing might be arrogant, greedy, and shameless, but he at least had some bottom line!
Forcibly taking and plundering things was something he... could not really bring himself to do.
Second.
The old Sage's three lectures had now passed.
Before long, the world was likely going to fall into chaos!
And once chaos came, the Calamity Cycle would arrive.
Then who would stand against the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Witch Race, who emerged from Mount Buzhou with a thunderous crash of heaven and earth, announcing, "Laozi makes his dazzling entrance"?
No one knew.
But as the leader of the female immortals personally appointed by the old Sage, although Queen Mother of the West had little standing before Dan Jing, she still possessed a certain degree of influence throughout the Primordial Cosmos.
Perhaps—
This little sister would have to enter the calamity and bear 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 things got tangled up later, they would not end up involving Lord Dan Jing 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 pack animals like Queen Mother of the West bear more of the pressure!
If this little sister truly fell within the Calamity Cycle—
Wouldn't the Kunlun Mirror, Plain-Colored Cloud Realm Banner, and all her other treasures become Dan Jing's?
Dan Jing wanted it, Dan Jing got it.
It was that simple!
Lunar Star.
Inside the Moon Goddess Palace—
Growing alone in the tranquil garden of the Moon Goddess Palace, the Lunar Moon Laurel Tree, one of the Supreme Innate Spirit Roots, shimmered with spiritual light 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 Cosmos, this was considered one of the finest brews.
The Primordial Divine Beings fortunate enough to have tasted it could be counted on one hand!
Just as the sisters were exchanging cups and drinking—
Their movements paused at the same time. They looked at each other, surprise flowing through both their eyes.
At the same time—
A few additional traces of delight and infatuation appeared in Xi He's eyes!
She rose directly to her feet.
"He has come."
"I'll go to the Lunar Star to receive him. Younger sister, you..."
Xi He had originally intended to ask Chang Xi to prepare some items to entertain their guest, but she saw Chang Xi rise as well, a faint smile on her face.
She said,
"Elder sister, I'll go with you!"
Hearing Chang Xi's words—
Xi He froze for a moment—
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 things been slightly different.
But only slightly!
However—
Looking at things now—
Xi He's previous judgment of "only slightly" was no longer merely "only slightly."
She smiled sweetly, ripples of light flowing 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 we shall go together!"
Xi He smiled and nodded, taking Chang Xi's jade-like hand as they hurried beyond the Lunar Star.
With her younger sister helping, 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 anticipated.
That was what Xi He thought, and naturally, it was what she would do.
Not long after—
When Xi He and Chang Xi had appeared beyond the Lunar Star for only a moment, a Golden Rainbow came from the direction of the Sun Star and descended outside the Lunar Star!
