What had happened?
At that moment—
Every expert with a little knowledge and experience could sense that lingering frustration of being stopped just short of satisfaction!
As if of one accord.
The Sages and experts from every faction turned their eyes toward the Sun Star.
Meanwhile.
Inside the Violet Cloud Palace in the Three-Dao Primordial Realm—
Old Geezer Hongjun, who had been watching the sublimation of the Heavenly Circumference Stars and the Boundless Starry Sky all along, likewise raised his clear old eyes. A flicker of surprise crossed them as he looked beyond the Primordial World.

Within the vast Chaos beyond the Primordial World—
The immense Primordial World rested in one corner of Chaos. Beyond that corner, a great hand flowing with Golden Immortal Radiance and boundless Dao resonance held up the corner of Chaos containing the Primordial Cosmos.

One could see—
Lord Dan Jing, clad in a dark-gold robe over a white inner garment, his black hair loose behind him, every naturally formed Dao marking upon him visible, his golden eyes like suns and his aura suppressing Chaos. He raised an eyebrow and turned toward the depths of Chaos.
"Interesting."
Holding the corner of Chaos containing the Primordial World in one hand, with his other hand behind his back, Dan Jing spoke with a smile.

He sighed:
"So be it!"
"With circumstances converging as they have, this round of sublimation will end here!"
"The Dao begins at one, establishes itself at three, reaches completion at five, flourishes at seven, and culminates at nine... seven sublimations will suffice to bring the Primordial Cosmos to prosperity in the years to come."
