Sun Star.
Beneath the Fusang Divine Tree of the Sun God Palace—
Dan Jing, who had not entered seclusion, sat casually upon the Solar Meditation Mat, taking stock of the gains from this trip.
With a thought—
Swish!
The Primordial Purple Qi he had gotten from that old Sage leaped out of Dan Jing's spiritual platform, happily circling around him.
This strand of Primordial Purple Qi—
Already belonged to Dan Jing.
Even if he threw it out of the Sun Star, out of the Starry Sky, or into any corner of the Primordial Cosmos, it would ultimately return to Dan Jing's hands!
And so, from the moment he had obtained it until now, Dan Jing had already successfully refined one ten-thousandth of it.
Of course, the refining process was incomparably difficult and slow.
At this moment—
There was a trace of hesitation in Dan Jing's expression.
He murmured:
"Should I become a Sage?"
Yes.
Looking at the brilliantly radiant Heavenly Dao Merit Wheel hidden behind him, radiating an aura of auspiciousness—
Dan Jing knew one thing clearly—
Becoming a Sage—
Was now no more than a matter of a single thought for him!
As long as he chose to absorb the Heavenly Dao Merit Wheel and activate the ten percent of World-Creation Merit hidden within his body—
At that moment—
The Primordial Purple Qi, which circled him like a little dog, could be refined completely in an instant!
The Sage Throne—
Was already within Dan Jing's grasp.
"No."
After pondering for a moment, Dan Jing made his decision.
The hesitation vanished from his face, replaced by a wicked grin.
"What fucking Sage should I become at a time like this?!"
"If I become a Sage—"
"Will anyone still dare offend me? Will the Three Pure Ones still dare go against me? Will Nuwa still dare give me attitude? Will Minghe still dare yap at me?"
"They definitely won't!"
It was more than just not daring!
The Three Pure Ones and Nuwa were one thing.
If he truly became a Sage, it would already count as Minghe having exceptional composure if that cautious old bastard dared stand before him without trembling.
After all, if others became Sages, they would still have some misgivings.
But everyone knew that Dan Jing was a madman, an erratic lunatic whose moods changed without warning. If he became a Sage, who would dare act wild in front of him?
If that happened—
How was Dan Jing supposed to find amusement throughout the Universal Realms?
Finally—
And most importantly—
Since becoming a Sage was already something he could accomplish with a flick of his hand—
Why not keep this great guaranteed safeguard, work harder, and try to reach the Dao-Proven Realm first before becoming a Sage?
When all was said and done—
The Sage Throne—
Was both glory and responsibility!
Unless it was necessary—
Dan Jing would rather remain a carefree Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal than become a Sage who had to shoulder the heavy burden of the Primordial World.
After thinking it through completely—
Dan Jing's expression returned to its playful irreverence, and his mood thoroughly brightened.
With a thought, he recalled the Primordial Purple Qi into his spiritual platform.
Dan Jing then took out the Kunlun Mirror he had borrowed from Queen Mother of the West and played with it for a moment.
He spoke to the Kunlun Mirror:
"I owe you a favor. In the future, depending on my mood, I can do one thing within my abilities for you!"
After saying that—
Dan Jing flicked his finger—
Ding!
The Kunlun Mirror was casually flicked by him into a spatial vortex, vanishing from the Sun Star!
After sending off the Kunlun Mirror—
Dan Jing did not care much about the promise he had made—
It was only a favor!
If he was in a good mood and the other party needed something, he could repay it with a casual gesture.
Even if it was karma—
If he did not want to repay it, no one could force him to do so.
He could only drag it out!
Drag it out until Dan Jing was willing to repay it, or until the creditor died, or until the Immeasurable Calamity Cycle arrived.
Therefore—
Verbal promises truly held no deterrent power for Dan Jing.
That said—
Dan Jing would not become someone who went back on his word.
"Next—"
A thought flashed through Dan Jing's mind:
"Shouldn't the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Witch Race be emerging by now?"
If not for an anomaly like him—
Right after the first lecture ended—
The Sun Star's two Golden Crows would have set out to subdue White Marsh, Qin Yuan, Ji Meng, and many other powerful figures, as well as the myriad races of the Primordial World, embarking upon the road to unify the Primordial World!
And that unlucky Eastern King Gong—
Would also have established the Immortal Court together with Queen Mother of the West during that era, beginning to stir up storms across the Primordial World.
Thereafter—
In those earlier years, beneath Mount Buzhou, they would have provoked the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the still-underdeveloped Witch Race!
And the Primordial World would naturally—
Have entered a new great upheaval of the Calamity Cycle.
Now—
Dan Jing had replaced the two Golden Crows, Di Jun and Taiyi, and then slaughtered the ambitious Eastern King Gong!
This had resulted in—
The Heavenly Court still not being established even after that old Sage finished his third lecture.
As for Eastern King Gong's Immortal Court, it had ended before even a shadow of it appeared.
Thus—
The Twelve Ancestral Witches had enough time to guard the Witch Race and let its members mature fully before appearing in the Primordial Cosmos!
Thinking about it—
The naturally nurtured members of the Witch Race, combined with the Twelve Ancestral Witches, who did not need to consume their own blood essence and foundations to forcefully birth Witch Race members—
How brutal would that be?
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
Dan Jing clicked his tongue with a face full of schadenfreude.
He secretly found it amusing.
"I wonder which unlucky bastard will run into the Twelve Ancestral Witches, whose foundations and blood essence have not been excessively depleted, along with a fully nurtured and complete Witch Race."
"That lineup—"
"Will only be more terrifying, more frightening, and harder to handle than what the brothers Di Jun and Taiyi would have faced!"
After thinking about it—
Dan Jing truly could not think of anyone capable of standing in the ring against the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Witch Race!
Fortunately—
None of this had anything to do with him, a man who lived for amusement!
He would not enter the calamity, and he was not a Sage.
There was no need for him to eat radishes and worry over nothing by fretting that no one could oppose the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Witch Race!
Next—
He did not intend to leave the Sun Star and wander around the Primordial World either.
First—
Having received the blessings of Heavenly Dao Merit, Starry Sky Destiny Aura, and the destiny aura of heaven and earth, this was precisely the best time to cultivate!
Second—
The Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Witch Race were about to emerge, and the world was about to change. He could simply lie low and watch the next grand show unfold!
Third—
His limelight had been too intense during this recent stretch of time.
It had caused sources of amusement like the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, and Minghe to start avoiding his edge.
That would not do—
Dan Jing planned to cool down his momentum a little!
He needed to give the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, and the other powerful figures some confidence, so they would have the guts to come looking for trouble!
Western Kunlun.
Within an immortal pavilion in the Jade Pool Immortal Realm—
Queen Mother of the West was sitting idly with Xuan Nü, the two sisters chatting casually about the two great opportunities Dan Jing had established: the Sun-Moon Movement Method and the Temporal Sequence Marker!
"Hm?"
Queen Mother of the West abruptly stopped speaking, surprise flowing through her beautiful eyes.
Afterward—
She lifted her jade-like hand and gently scooped through the void before her.
Hum—
The Kunlun Mirror, transformed into a streak of light, appeared in Queen Mother of the West's hand.
At the same time—
Dan Jing's words echoed through the immortal pavilion.
"A favor that depends on the other person's mood?"
After hearing Dan Jing's words, Xuan Nü spoke with a strange expression:
"That madman Dan Jing... is actually quite particular, huh?"
Hearing this, Queen Mother of the West smiled.
She casually put away the Kunlun Mirror, her beautiful eyes filled with satisfaction.
She said with a smile:
"You are too attached to appearances, little sister."
"Think about it—"
"Throughout the Universal Realms, how many people could obtain a favor from him?"
That made sense.
Xuan Nü nodded, showing her agreement.
Not to mention anything else—
A favor from the Sun Star Madman was still quite valuable!
