Within the Violet Cloud Palace, untold years passed.
Outside, only a breath or two had passed, yet within the Violet Cloud Palace, hundreds upon thousands of origin cycles had already elapsed.
An hour later.
Clang—
The doors of the Violet Cloud Palace opened once more.
Then.
Looking composed, a smile on his face, Dan Jing stepped out of the unfathomable temporal spacetime within the Violet Cloud Palace!
Tap—
His footsteps paused.
Coming to a halt, Dan Jing turned to look at the Violet Cloud Palace, its doors slowly closing as the Temporal-Spacetime Turbulence within gradually returned to normal.
The corners of his mouth lifted.
"Hahaha..."
As his hearty, unrestrained laughter rang out across the Three-Dao Primordial Realm, Dan Jing vanished from before the Violet Cloud Palace.
The Sun Star.
Beneath the Fusang Divine Tree—
Returning from his game at the Violet Cloud Palace, Dan Jing lay back against the Fusang Divine Tree once more. With a smile on his face, he closed his eyes and began cultivating.
He had gained quite a lot from this trip to the Violet Cloud Palace and his game with the old geezer.
Only an hour had passed outside the Violet Cloud Palace, but within it, Dan Jing's contest with Old Geezer Hongjun... had been measured in units of "ten thousand origin cycles"!
Indeed—
Dan Jing himself could not even be bothered to calculate how long he and Old Geezer Hongjun had spent "alone together."
After such a long stretch of time, it would have been impossible for Dan Jing to have gained nothing.
Now.
It was time to turn those gains into nourishment for his own path of the Dao.
Hum—
The instant Dan Jing deliberately entered a state of enlightenment, the flow of time within the Sun God Palace began accelerating madly.
