All Cultivators Were Cowards, Yet They Let a Little Bird Claim Invincibility!

Establishing a Temporal Sequence Scale did not require an actual demonstration.

As long as the Heavenly Dao's will "heard" it out and deemed it acceptable, capable of adoption—

Then—

It would be done!

Of course.

Once the Temporal Sequence Scale was established—

The rewards would not be as great as those from the earlier Sun-Moon Movement Method.

This was not merely in terms of merit, but also in the subsequent blessings of fortune!

There was no need to mention the Heavenly Dao merit reward after the Sun-Moon Movement Method was established.

Xi He, Chang Xi, and he would also receive an unending blessing of fortune from the boundless starry sky.

Even all things between Heaven and Earth, and the fortune of all living beings subtly influenced by the Sun-Moon Movement Method, would bless them.

How great those gains would be went without saying.

Even if establishing the Temporal Sequence Scale failed—

The risks were countless times smaller than those of the Sun-Moon Movement Method!

If the Sun-Moon Movement Method failed—

Then the karmic burden produced by all things across the myriad worlds and endless living beings affected during those five thousand years of demonstration and experimentation would all fall upon Dan Jing, Xi He, and Chang Xi.

Such karma was not something one could easily bear!

Establishing a Temporal Sequence Scale—

Was equivalent to summarizing certain fundamental laws between Heaven and Earth, gathering them together, and manifesting them.

If it could be used, then use it.

If it could not, it would not affect the myriad worlds in any way.

Of course.

If the Temporal Sequence Scale failed, yet he had still summoned the Heavenly Dao, he could not avoid being struck by Firmament Divine Thunder.

The damage from one strike of Firmament Divine Thunder—

Dan Jing could still withstand it!

Before long.

Dan Jing finished presenting the Temporal Sequence Scale he intended to display.

He bowed toward Heaven.

"May the Heavenly Dao examine it!"

This time—

Dan Jing had some confidence, though not much!

At the end of the day.

Integrating laws and setting a Temporal Sequence Scale—

Would not affect many aspects of the myriad worlds. It was not as important as the masses imagined!

For example—

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's will recognized this opportunity was still uncertain!

As Dan Jing's voice fell.

A moment later.

Gong—

Gong—

Gong—

Three consecutive congratulatory chimes from the Heavenly Dao Golden Gong rang out solely across the boundless starry sky!

Immediately afterward.

A quantity of Heavenly Dao merit aura—not much, but not little either—gathered in an instant.

Then.

It descended in a vast torrent toward Dan Jing and the numerous postnatal spiritual treasures he had displayed.

In but an instant—

The Heavenly Dao Merit Wheel behind Dan Jing grew several sizes larger once more!

It became bigger, brighter, and more eye-catching.

At the same time.

The sundials, hourglasses, gnomons, and many other postnatal spiritual treasures he had displayed all transformed into postnatal merit spiritual 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 time—

It had felt rather thrilling.

When he sensed that gaze of "attention" enveloping him leave once more—

Dan Jing finally relaxed completely.

With a wave of his hand, all the postnatal merit spiritual treasures before him turned into wisps of auspicious golden light and entered the Heavenly Dao Merit Wheel behind him.

Since they were merit spiritual treasures, naturally the best place to nurture them was within the Heavenly Dao Merit Wheel.

It was also because these postnatal merit spiritual treasures were not all that important to Dan Jing.

They were better used to add a little more ambient glow to his enormous Heavenly Dao Merit Wheel!

After laughing heartily.

Dan Jing had no intention of remaining outside the Sun Star to be watched by all the powerful figures throughout the Primordial World. With a flash, he turned into a streak of golden light and returned inside the Sun Star.

Elsewhere.

Seeing Dan Jing directly dive into the Sun Star, the sisters Xi He and Chang Xi could not help but freeze. They exchanged a glance.

After a brief silence.

Xi He took Chang Xi's jade-like hand.

"Little sister, let us 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 goddesses had also departed, the entire starry sky returned to silence and solitude once more.

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 steady, down-to-earth effort!

Mount Buzhou.

Before the Pangu Divine Hall, which circulated an ancient, desolate, vast Dao rhythm!

The Twelve Ancestral Witches stood tall, their blood and vitality surging. Some sat cross-legged upon the ground, some stood with their arms folded, while others stood with hands on hips, gazing at the heavens.

They watched the alternation of day and night between Heaven and Earth, along with the countless transformations it continuously brought forth.

Di Jiang, the leader and eldest brother of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, raised a brow.

A hearty smile appeared on his face.

"Sun Star—Sun God—Dan Jing. He is rather interesting!"

As soon as Di Jiang's words fell.

Xuan Ming, one of the only two female Ancestral Witches among the Twelve Ancestral Witches, curled her lips into a proud arc.

She smiled.

"Of course he is interesting—"

"After all, he is the one those cultivators publicly acknowledge as the 'number one beneath the Sage Realm'!"

As soon as Xuan Ming's words fell.

The other Ancestral Witches, who had shown little reaction, all stirred.

One after another, they raised their heads toward the Sun Star. Some were filled with curiosity, some with battle intent, while some did not care in the slightest.

An Ancestral Witch spoke as well.

"The number one? 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 'number one beneath the Sage Realm'!"

"But to be fair, he seems a little arrogant!"

"He really is arrogant!"

"Looking across the Primordial World, all are soft eggs, yet they let 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 as before. He did not take Dan Jing too seriously.

He asked.

"Ninth Brother, how much longer until the children of our race are born?"

"The Heaven and Earth Father God left us has been occupied by these jumping, prancing fellows for far too long. It is time to take it back!"

The Twelve Ancestral Witches knew their origins and regarded the Heaven and Earth of the Primordial World as their family estate.

How could they allow—

A group of outsiders to summon wind and rain, flaunt their power, and run wild between Heaven and Earth?

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, casually replied.

"At the soonest, ten kalpas; at the latest, fifteen kalpas. The children of our race will begin to be born one after another!"

Hearing that.

Di Jiang nodded, then raised his head and glanced once more toward the Sun Star.

Afterward, he withdrew his gaze indifferently, turned around, and walked into the Pangu Divine Hall.

Indeed.

The title of "number one beneath the Sage Realm" was quite resounding throughout the myriad worlds.

And for one to seize that title among the outstanding talents of the Primordial World—

Madman Dan Jing was someone of note.

But that was all.

Once the children of the Witch Race were born, once the Twelve Ancestral Witches began walking the Heaven and Earth of 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—

Stand aside!
