Sun Star.

Inside the seclusion hall of the Sun God Palace

Dan Jing casually withdrew his gaze from the eastern foot of Mount Buzhou, the corners of his mouth lifting into a smile.

Recalling Di Jiang's arrogant declaration to the Primordial World,

he laughed and remarked,

"Wild enough!"

"Worthy of being descendants of the Pangu Orthodox Lineage! Worthy of the Twelve Ancestral Witches!"

"Ha ha ha..."

It had to be said—

Dan Jing rather appreciated the Twelve Ancestral Witches' arrogant and overbearing style!

That was exactly the flavor!

It was far too right.

Damn it—

If one had the confidence, why couldn't one be arrogant? What kind of sense did that make?

Dan Jing had thought so long before he was even born.

As a Primordial Divine Being

there was no way Dan Jing would possess the Chaos Bell and one portion of World-Creation Merit, yet still harbor so-called inferiority and cowardice!

By the same token,

the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Witch Race probably thought the same way!

Thus, at this moment—

Dan Jing unexpectedly felt a faint sense of mutual appreciation for the Twelve Ancestral Witches!

"Heh heh heh..."

After laughing, Dan Jing cut away that tiny trace of mutual appreciation in his heart.

Mutual appreciation, my ass!

If not for his sufficient confidence and capital—

the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Witch Race would be the greatest obstacles on his path to having fun!

They might even be the greatest culprits behind his death!

Why the hell would Dan Jing mutually appreciate them?

The prerequisite for mutual appreciation was that both sides were opponents, and each truly acknowledged the other!

For all he knew,

in the hearts of the Twelve Ancestral Witches

he, Dan Jing, might be nothing more than a little bird that was "grandstanding," "putting on airs," and "could be crushed to death with one finger"!

They did not even take Dan Jing seriously, much less acknowledge him.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Witch Race had officially made their appearance.

It marked the beginning of a new chapter and new upheavals in the Primordial World.

At that thought,

Dan Jing no longer had any desire to continue cultivating in seclusion and directly rose from his meditation cushion.

With a leisurely expression, he walked out of the seclusion hall and headed toward the garden of his Sun God Palace!

His mood was fairly good today—

he could have a few drinks, relax, and soothe his Primordial Spirit, which had been continuously refining the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda!

In the garden,

Dan Jing, who had just laid out some Primordial Fire Mulberries, spirit fruits, immortal dishes, and immortal brews, paused in the midst of preparing to pour himself a drink.

His brows rose slightly.

"They came over at this time... Is it because of the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Witch Race?"

As he spoke,

Dan Jing rose, turned, and strode toward the outside of the Sun Star!

After waiting outside the Sun Star for a moment,

whoosh—

a ray of moonlight shone over from the direction of the Lunar Star, descending ten thousand li away from Dan Jing.

Immediately afterward,

the figures of the two sisters, Xi He and Chang Xi, emerged from the moonlight, their beautiful eyes falling upon Dan Jing at the same time.

Chang Xi was cool and detached, the corners of her lips slightly curved in a faint smile.

Xi He, meanwhile, was gentle and outgoing, the smile on her face as bright and tender as the radiant moon.

Taking a step forward, the two sisters arrived before Dan Jing.

"You're here!"

Looking at the peerlessly beautiful sisters, Dan Jing felt no stir in his heart. He merely regarded them as familiar friends and casually greeted them.

Hearing Dan Jing's greeting,

Xi He's smile deepened.

"We're here."

At her side,

Chang Xi nodded gently, a hint of delight hidden within her calm tone.

"We came to have some fun!"

After exchanging a few brief greetings,

Dan Jing extended an invitation.

"You arrived at just the right time!"

"I just came out of seclusion and was about to have a few drinks and sit around for a while. Join me?"

Hearing the invitation,

Xi He immediately nodded in agreement.

"I couldn't ask for more!"

Chang Xi beside her also nodded lightly without speaking.

Seeing the two sisters agree, Dan Jing casually waved his hand.

"Come with me!"

A short while later,

Dan Jing brought the sisters Xi He and Chang Xi to sit in a pavilion within the garden of the Sun God Palace.

This was Xi He and Chang Xi's first time visiting the Sun Star and their first time entering the Sun God Palace.

When the two sisters saw the Primordial Gourd Vine, Five-Needle Pine, and many other spirit roots planted in Dan Jing's garden, along with the many divine soils he possessed,

they were both startled—

So many good things?

That madman Dan Jing was actually a bona fide super-rich tycoon?

The things in this garden alone—

were already not something an ordinary Primordial Divine Being could produce.

"Sit!"

After greeting Xi He and Chang Xi, Dan Jing sat down by himself.

Once the two sisters had taken their seats, two brimming cups of Fire Mulberry Immortal Brew landed before Xi He and Chang Xi.

"Make yourselves at home!"

Dan Jing did not stand on ceremony. After saying that to the two sisters, he began sipping his drink in contentment.

Seeing this,

Xi He and Chang Xi were not surprised—

Dan Jing was not the sort of person who would trade empty courtesies back and forth!

Even outside, even at someone else's dojo, he was probably the sort to go his own way. How much more so in Dan Jing's own home?

Having expected this already, Xi He and Chang Xi relaxed as well.

After drinking the Fire Mulberry Immortal Brew,

the two sisters also took out two jars of Lunar Moon Laurel Brew, poured Dan Jing a cup, and let him have a taste.

And so,

the three, who were already considered acquaintances, began chatting idly in the garden of the Sun God Palace.

After three rounds of wine,

and a long stretch of casual conversation,

Xi He brought up the main reason for their visit—

the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Witch Race.

An indescribable expression rested on her face as her beautiful eyes stared directly at Dan Jing.

She asked,

"Those Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Witch Race... Dan Jing, what do you think?"

Chang Xi was curious about this question as well.

More importantly—

the Twelve Ancestral Witches were all exceedingly arrogant and wild!

The two sisters were rather curious what Dan Jing, this mad and outrageous fellow, thought of the equally wild and arrogant Twelve Ancestral Witches.

"What do I think?"

Hearing Xi He's question and seeing the curious gazes of the two sisters, Dan Jing smiled.

He answered casually,

"I watch while sitting, of course! How else would I watch?"

"The Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Witch Race are blood descendants of Pangu the Great. Their origins are noble, their foundations deep, and their strength formidable!"

"They have the qualifications and confidence to be arrogant and overbearing!"

Those words made sense!

Xi He and Chang Xi agreed.

Otherwise, the moment Di Jiang uttered those words disrespecting the Heavenly Dao and disregarding the Sage Realm, lightning would have already struck him down.

Yet he remained safe and sound, which was enough to show how profound the foundations of the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Witch Race were!

"I think that Di Jiang seems to intend to rule the Primordial World, the heavens, and the myriad realms."

Xi He spoke again, frowning.

"I fear he will stir up no small amount of turmoil between Heaven and Earth. If the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Witch Race truly intend to wage war upon Heaven and Earth..."

"Dan Jing, what do you think we Primordial Divine Beings should do?"

As she said this,

the rippling gazes of both Xi He and Chang Xi were fixed on Dan Jing, eagerly awaiting his answer!

It was as though—

Dan Jing's answer were of utmost importance!
