He Was Quite Particular

Sun Star.

Beneath the Fusang Divine Tree of the Sun God Palace—

Dan Jing was not in seclusion. At this moment, he sat casually upon the Solar Meditation Mat, taking stock of his gains this time.

With a thought—

Whoosh!

The Primordial Purple Qi he had gotten from that old Sage leaped out from 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 into the starry skies, or into any corner of the Primordial World's Universal Realms, it would ultimately return to Dan Jing's hands!

Thus, ever since obtaining it, Dan Jing had successfully refined one ten-thousandth of it.

Of course.

The refinement process—

Was incomparably difficult and slow.

At this moment.

There was a trace of hesitation in Dan Jing's expression.

He muttered:

"Should I become a Sage?"

That was right.

Looking at the bright, auspicious Heavenly Dao Merit Wheel hidden behind him—

Dan Jing knew one thing clearly—

Becoming a Sage—

Was now merely a matter of a single thought for him!

As long as he chose to absorb the Heavenly Dao Merit Wheel and activate the one-tenth of World-Creation Merit hidden within his body—

At this moment—

The Primordial Purple Qi circling him like a puppy could be refined completely in an instant!

The Sage position—

Was already within Dan Jing's grasp.

"No."

After pondering for a moment, Dan Jing came to a 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—"

"Would anyone still dare offend me? Would the Three Pure Ones still dare oppose me? Would Nuwa still dare give me attitude? Would Minghe still dare yap at me?"

"They definitely wouldn't!"

It was more than that—they would not dare at all!

The Three Pure Ones and Nuwa were one thing.

If he truly became a Sage, it would already count as Minghe having extraordinary composure if that cautious old bastard dared stand before him without trembling.

After all, others who became Sages would still have their scruples.

But everyone knew that Dan Jing was a madman, an unhinged lunatic whose moods changed without warning. If he became a Sage, who would dare act presumptuously before him?

If that happened—

How was Dan Jing supposed to find amusement throughout the Universal Realms?

Lastly.

And most importantly—

Since becoming a Sage was something he could accomplish with a backhanded gesture—

Why not keep this as a great final safeguard, work harder, and try to attain the Dao first before becoming a Sage?

When all was said and done—

The Sage position—

Was both glory and responsibility!

Unless it was necessary—

Dan Jing would rather remain a carefree Primordial Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal than become a Sage burdened with the heavy responsibility of the Primordial World.

After fully thinking this through—

Dan Jing's expression returned to its carefree and irreverent state, and his mood brightened completely.

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. After playing with it for a while—

He said to the Kunlun Mirror:

"I owe you a favor. In the future, depending on my mood, I can do one thing within my power for you!"

After saying that—

Dan Jing flicked his finger—

Ding!

The Kunlun Mirror was casually flicked into a spatial vortex by him, vanishing from the Sun Star!

After sending away the Kunlun Mirror—

Dan Jing did not care much about the promise he had made—

It was merely 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 stall!

Stall until Dan Jing was willing to repay it, until the creditor died, or until an immeasurable Calamity Cycle arrived.

Therefore—

Verbal promises truly held no deterrent force for Dan Jing.

That said—

Dan Jing would not become someone who broke his word.

"Next—"

A thought flashed through Dan Jing's mind:

"Shouldn't the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Witch Race be born into the world soon?"

If not for an anomaly like him—

Back when the first sermon ended—

The Sun Star's two Golden Crows would have embarked upon the path of subduing White Marsh, Qin Yuan, Ji Meng, and many other powerful figures, as well as the myriad races of the Primordial World, beginning their journey to unite the Primordial World!

And that unlucky Eastern King Gong—

Would also have established the Immortal Court with Queen Mother of the West during that era, beginning to stir up waves throughout heaven and earth.

Then—

During those earlier years, beneath Mount Buzhou, they would have provoked the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the not-yet-fully-developed Witch Race!

The Primordial World would consequently—

Enter the great storm of a new Calamity Cycle.

Now—

Dan Jing had replaced Di Jun and Taiyi, the two Golden Crows, then slaughtered the ambitious Eastern King Gong!

This had resulted in—

The Heavenly Court not being established even after that old Sage's third sermon had concluded.

As for Eastern King Gong's Immortal Court, it had ended before it even had a shadow to its name.

Thus—

The Twelve Ancestral Witches had enough time to watch over the Witch Race until its people fully matured before appearing in the Universal Realms of the Primordial World!

Thinking about it—

The naturally born members of the Witch Race, combined with the Twelve Ancestral Witches who did not need to expend their own blood essence and foundations to hasten the birth of Witch Race members—

How savage would that be?

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."

Dan Jing clicked his tongue with a look of delight at others' misfortune.

He secretly found it amusing.

"I wonder which unlucky bastard will encounter the Twelve Ancestral Witches, whose foundations and blood essence have not been excessively depleted, along with a fully matured and complete Witch Race."

"This lineup—"

"Will only be more terrifying, frightening, and difficult to deal with than what Di Jun and Taiyi, those two brothers, would have faced!"

After thinking about it—

Dan Jing could not imagine anyone capable of competing with 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 about beans by fretting over whether anyone could oppose the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Witch Race!

Next—

He did not plan to leave the Sun Star and wander through the Primordial World either.

For one—

Having received the blessings of Heavenly Dao merit, starry-sky fortune, and heaven-and-earth fortune, it was the perfect time for cultivation!

For two—

The Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Witch Race were about to be born, and heaven and earth were about to change. He could simply lie low and watch the grand drama unfold!

For three—

His limelight had been far too great during recent years.

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 let his momentum cool down a little!

He needed to give the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, and the other powerful figures some confidence, so they would dare 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 about the two great opportunities Dan Jing had established: the "Sun-Moon Movement Method" and the "Temporal Sequence Marker"!

"Hmm?"

Queen Mother of the West suddenly stopped speaking, surprise flowing through her beautiful eyes.

Then—

She raised her jade-like hand and gently reached into the void before her.

Buzz—

The Kunlun Mirror, which had transformed into a streak of light, appeared in Queen Mother of the West's hand.

At the same time—

Dan Jing's words rang out and settled within 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?"

Smiling at those words—

Queen Mother of the West put away the Kunlun Mirror with a flip of her hand, her beautiful eyes filled with satisfaction.

She said with a smile:

"You are too attached to appearances, Sister."

"Think about it—"

"Across these Universal Realms, how many people could obtain a favor from him?"

That made sense.

Xuan Nü nodded, expressing her agreement.

To say nothing else—

A favor from the Sun Star's unhinged lunatic was quite valuable!
