Establishing a Temporal Sequence Scale did not require actually demonstrating it once.
As long as the Heavenly Dao Will "heard" it through, deemed it feasible, and chose to adopt it.
Then—
It would be done!
Of course.
Even if establishing the Temporal Sequence Scale succeeded.
The gains would not be as great as those from the earlier "Sun-Moon Movement Method."
This was not only in terms of Merit, but also in the subsequent blessings of Destiny Aura!
There was no need to mention the Heavenly Dao Merit reward granted after the "Sun-Moon Movement Method" succeeded.
Xi He, Chang Xi, and he would also receive an endless stream of Destiny Aura blessings from the Boundless Starry Sky.
Even the Destiny Aura blessings of all things and countless living beings between heaven and earth, in the unseen currents of fate, that had been affected by the "Sun-Moon Movement Method."
How great the harvest was went without saying.
Even if establishing the Temporal Sequence Scale failed.
The risks were countless times smaller than those of the previous "Sun-Moon Movement Method"!
If the "Sun-Moon Movement Method" had failed.
Then all the Karmic Power generated by every being and all things across the Universal Realms that had been affected during those five thousand years of demonstration and experimentation would have fallen upon Dan Jing, Xi He, and Chang Xi.
Such Karmic Power was not something one could easily bear!
Establishing the Temporal Sequence Scale—
Was equivalent to summarizing certain fundamental laws of heaven and earth, then compiling and manifesting them.
If it could be used, then use it.
If it could not, it would not have any impact on the Universal Realms.
Of course.
If establishing the Temporal Sequence Scale failed after calling upon the Heavenly Dao, he would inevitably be struck by Firmament Divine Thunder.
The damage from being struck by Firmament Divine Thunder once—
Dan Jing could still withstand it!
Not long afterward.
Dan Jing finished presenting the contents of the Temporal Sequence Scale he intended to display.
He bowed toward the heavens.
"May the Heavenly Dao judge it!"
This time—
Dan Jing had some confidence, but not much!
At the end of the day.
Integrating laws and setting down a Temporal Sequence Scale—
Its influence did not extend across numerous aspects of the Universal Realms. It was not as important as the masses imagined!
It was like—
Even if no one told you what time it was, you would still do what you were supposed to do each day!
Therefore.
Whether the Heavenly Dao Will would acknowledge this opportunity was still uncertain!
As Dan Jing's voice fell.
A moment later.
Clang—
Clang—
Clang—
Three successive celebratory peals of the Heavenly Dao Golden Gong rang out solely throughout the Boundless Starry Sky!
Immediately afterward.
A quantity of Heavenly Dao Merit energy—not much, but by no means little—gathered in an instant.
Then.
It surged grandly toward Dan Jing and the many Houtian Spirit Treasures he had displayed.
In an instant—
The Heavenly Dao Merit Wheel behind Dan Jing expanded by several degrees once more!
Larger, brighter, and more eye-catching.
At the same time.
The sundials, hourglasses, gnomons, and numerous other Houtian Spirit Treasures he had displayed all transformed into Acquired Merit Spirit Treasures!
"Phew!"
After obtaining the Heavenly Dao Merit for establishing the Temporal Sequence Scale, Dan Jing let out a long breath.
He grinned.
"It worked! Hahaha..."
This round—
Had felt rather thrilling.
When he sensed that the "gaze" watching over him had departed once again.
Dan Jing finally relaxed completely.
With a wave of his hand, all the Acquired Merit Spirit Treasures before him turned into streams of auspicious golden light and entered the Heavenly Dao Merit Wheel behind him.
Since they were Merit Spirit Treasures, they were naturally best nurtured within the Heavenly Dao Merit Wheel.
It was also because these Acquired Merit Spirit Treasures were not all that important to Dan Jing.
They might as well be used to add a little more ambient glow to his enormous Heavenly Dao Merit Wheel!
After his hearty laughter faded.
Dan Jing did not remain outside the Sun Star to be gawked at by the powerful figures throughout the Primordial Cosmos. His figure flashed, turning into a streak of golden light as he returned to the Sun Star.
Elsewhere.
Seeing Dan Jing dive straight into the Sun Star, the two sisters, Xi He and Chang Xi, could not help but freeze and exchange a glance.
After a brief silence.
Xi He took Chang Xi's jade hand.
"Little sister, let's return and enter seclusion first, to consolidate our cultivation!"
"Afterward—"
"It will not be too late for us to visit the Sun Star!"
Hearing this.
Chang Xi nodded lightly.
"Alright."
As they spoke.
The two sisters joined hands, turned around, and entered the Lunar Star.
Once the two Lunar Star goddesses had departed as well, the entire Starry Sky returned once more to silence and solitude.
At the same time.
The powerful figures throughout the Primordial World also withdrew their gazes from the Boundless Starry Sky.
Others' opportunities were certainly enviable.
But one's own growth was what truly required keeping one's feet on the ground!
Mount Buzhou.
Before that Pangu Divine Hall, where vast, ancient, and primitive Dao rhythms flowed!
The Twelve Ancestral Witches stood tall, their blood and qi surging. Some sat cross-legged upon the ground, some stood with folded arms, and some stood on the earth with hands on their hips, gazing at the sky.
They watched the alternation of day and night between heaven and earth, along with the countless changes it continuously brought forth.
As the leader and eldest brother of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Di Jiang raised a brow.
A hearty smile appeared on his face.
"Sun Star—Sun God—Dan Jing. He's rather interesting!"
As soon as Di Jiang finished speaking.
Xuan Ming, one of the only two female Ancestral Witches among the Twelve Ancestral Witches, curled her lips into a proud arc.
She said with a smile.
"Of course he is interesting—"
"After all, he is the one those cultivators publicly recognize as the 'foremost beneath the Sage Realm'!"
As soon as Xuan Ming finished speaking.
The other Ancestral Witches, who had shown little reaction, all stirred.
One after another, they raised their heads toward the Sun Star. Some were curious, some brimming with battle intent, while others paid it no mind.
Some Ancestral Witches spoke up as well.
"The foremost? He is merely 'beneath the Sage Realm.' Not worth mentioning!"
"Exactly! We do not even put that doddering old Sage in our eyes, much less this so-called 'foremost beneath the Sage Realm'!"
"But to be fair, he seems a little arrogant!"
"He really is arrogant!"
"Looking across the Primordial World, all are cowards, yet he lets a little bird claim invincibility? Simply laughable!"
"..."
Listening to his younger brothers and sisters evaluate Dan Jing behind him.
The smile on Di Jiang's face remained unchanged. He did not take Dan Jing too seriously.
He asked a question.
"Ninth Brother, how much longer until the descendants of our race are born?"
"The heaven and earth Father God left us have been occupied by these jumping, prancing fellows for far too long. It is time to take them back!"
The Twelve Ancestral Witches knew their own origins and regarded the Primordial World as their family inheritance.
How could they allow—
A group of outsiders to summon wind and rain, throw their weight around, and tyrannize the world?
This Primordial World—
Its inheritors had always been only the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Witch Race!!!
Hearing Di Jiang's question.
At his side.
Zhu Jiuyin, the Ancestral Witch of Time, answered casually.
"At the shortest, ten yuanhui; at the longest, fifteen yuanhui. The descendants of our race will begin to be born one after another!"
Hearing this.
Di Jiang nodded, then raised his head to glance once more at the Sun Star.
Afterward, he withdrew his gaze indifferently, turned around, and entered Pangu Divine Hall.
Certainly.
The title "foremost beneath the Sage Realm" was considered resounding throughout the Universal Realms.
And to seize such a title among the many outstanding figures of the Primordial Cosmos—
Madman Dan Jing was indeed somebody.
But that was all.
Once the descendants of the Witch Race were born, once the Twelve Ancestral Witches began to walk the Primordial World.
Forget Madman Dan Jing.
Even those Sage disciples, and even that doddering old Sage who had merged with the Dao.
All of them would have to—
Step aside!
