While Dan Jing chatted idly with Xi He and Chang Xi.

On the elevated lecture platform.

After the old Sage had finished this round of preaching.

There was something he wished to do—

Choose a leader of the male immortals and a leader of the female immortals to oversee all matters concerning the ascension of men and women in the Primordial World from now on!

Thus.

Eastern King Gong, born of Primordial Yang Qi, and Queen Mother of the West, born of Primordial Yin Qi, each received a top-grade innate spirit treasure and an Immortal Register, becoming the leaders of the male and female immortals respectively!

At this point.

The matters the old Sage had intended to handle during this first lecture—

Had all been completed.

Seated upon his prayer mat, the old Sage cast a glance at the gathered travelers of the mortal world below.

Then he spoke leisurely:

"This preaching has now concluded."

"Purple Cloud Palace will open again after ten eras. Return then!"

"Go!"

As his words fell.

The old Sage's figure leisurely departed from the elevated lecture platform.

Mm—

The prayer mat the old man had just sat upon also left with him.

Who knew whom he was guarding against!

"He's not generous at all!"

Watching the old man take away the prayer mat he had sat on, Dan Jing could not help grumbling inwardly.

He had merely wanted to see how the Sage's prayer mat differed from the ones they sat on.

He had no other intentions—

Yet the old man would not even give him that chance. His guard was a little too high!

With that in mind.

Dan Jing leisurely rose to his feet.

At the same time, he naturally reached out and picked up the extraordinary prayer mat he had been sitting on, one suited to the Solar Dao he cultivated.

He smiled and remarked:

"What a fine treasure!"

Of course it was a fine treasure.

After all, even a single brick in Purple Cloud Palace was steeped in a Sage's aura, let alone everything else.

Dan Jing would not stoop to prying bricks from the old man's dojo, but taking a prayer mat useless to the old man was hardly a problem.

Just as Dan Jing patted the prayer mat and prepared to put it away.

From nearby.

A stern shout suddenly rang out:

"Presumptuous!"

"How dare a brat touch the belongings of the Sage's dojo?"

"Put down that prayer mat!"

The abrupt outburst stunned the three thousand travelers, who had originally been planning to leave swiftly and return to the Primordial World for secluded cultivation.

Instinctively, they stopped and looked toward the person who had shouted.

Oh—

So it was the newly appointed leader of the male immortals!

Then it was no surprise.

The travelers of the mortal world were no longer in any hurry to leave. They wanted to see how this little drama would unfold.

After all, Eastern King Gong, whom the Sage had just appointed leader of the male immortals, was a renowned and truly capable expert in the Primordial World.

And the one he had rebuked—

Well...

Was that innate divine being for whom the Sage had left the doors open!

Perfect—

Let the leader of the male immortals test his mettle. What exactly was his background?

He had not only dared to arrive late, but the Sage had actually left the doors open for him. Did he really think that highly of himself?

Dan Jing was a little confused as well—

He did not understand why Eastern King Gong had jumped out to rebuke him.

Come on, I'm taking the old man's stuff, not stealing your treasure.

The old man hasn't even said anything!

What does it have to do with you, leader of the male immortals?

Dan Jing did not understand Eastern King Gong's thoughts, but he knew perfectly well that he disliked people raising their voices at him!

So.

With a lift of his brow, Dan Jing not only failed to put down the Solar prayer mat he had picked up, but flipped his hand and directly stored it away.

Nearby.

Eastern King Gong had been displaying his authority. He had originally thought that, with his status as the Sage-appointed leader of the male immortals, he could easily put Dan Jing in his place.

Yet he had not expected Dan Jing to completely ignore him and brazenly put away the prayer mat.

Eastern King Gong felt humiliated, and his expression immediately darkened.

He spoke again in a low voice:

"Presum—"

The next moment.

Rumble—

An incomparably terrifying Great Luo aura erupted directly within Purple Cloud Palace. Feeling that dreadful Great Luo aura, the travelers of the mortal world all felt their hearts tremble.

Then.

A scream rang out:

"Ah!!!"

Startled by the cry.

The travelers of the mortal world looked toward where the scream had come from—

They saw that Dan Jing had somehow appeared before Eastern King Gong, killing intent from the Great Luo realm surging around him.

Solar Golden Flame, capable of igniting even the perils of chaos, burned upon his large hand as he seized Eastern King Gong by the throat. The terrifying Solar Golden Flame instantly turned Eastern King Gong into a living torch.

"Fuck!"

Holding Eastern King Gong completely suppressed with one hand, Dan Jing's face held undisguised fury and killing intent.

He cursed as he dragged Eastern King Gong toward the outside of Purple Cloud Palace:

"You piece of trash, what makes you think you've got the strength to act tough in front of me?"

"You want to show off before me? I'll make you fly!"

"Fuck!"

"..."

As he dragged Eastern King Gong out of the great hall of Purple Cloud Palace, the Great Luo killing intent around Dan Jing surged wildly, without the slightest concealment.

The travelers of the mortal world who had been blocking his way hastily moved aside.

They were terrified that this ruthless man, who dared to strike within a Sage's dojo, might burn them alive too if he took a dislike to them.

Just look at that glittering Solar Golden Flame

Did it not resemble the road back to the Great Dao True Spirit Sea?

It did!

It fucking looked exactly like it!

After dragging Eastern King Gong all the way out of Purple Cloud Palace, Dan Jing did not bother choosing a location. He dealt with him right there amid the chaos outside Purple Cloud Palace!

"Ah!!!"

The Solar Golden Flame burned Eastern King Gong until he wished he were dead. His physical body, Primordial Spirit, Great Dao, and everything else were being incinerated.

Unable to resist, he could only scream.

As Dan Jing worked him over, he cursed:

"They made you leader of the male immortals, and you really think you're better than everyone else now?"

"You're fucking begging for it!"

"You still wanted to trade moves with me! If I don't kill you today, I'll take your damn surname!"

"You've clearly never encountered a real bastard before!"

As he spoke.

The terrifying Solar Golden Flame blazed fiercely—

Eastern King Gong, who had only just become the leader of the male immortals, was completely refined by Dan Jing in the time it took to say those few sentences.

Only a wisp of his true spirit remained, returning to the Great Dao True Spirit Sea.

After directly refining Eastern King Gong.

Dan Jing raised his hand and swept up all the innate spirit treasures Eastern King Gong had left behind: the Twelfth-Grade World-Purifying White Lotus, the Primordial Pure Yang Sword, the Pure Yang Treasure Mirror, and the Dragon-Headed Staff he had only just obtained and had not even had time to warm up.

After collecting the spoils.

Dan Jing could not help spitting.

"Ptooey! What a pile of trash!"

Clapping his hands.

Dan Jing then turned his gaze toward the travelers of the mortal world inside and outside Purple Cloud Palace, who were staring at him in utter shock.

He frowned:

"What are you looking at? Never seen someone get killed before?"

"Or is one of you lackeys of that piece of trash?"

"Come on, come on. If you are, step forward. I'll send you on your way for free!"

At those words, many of the travelers of the mortal world, who had been staring blankly at Dan Jing, repeatedly shook their heads and backed away.

What a joke—

Who the fuck would dare act tough before someone who attacked at the drop of a hat and went straight for the kill?

They could not avoid such a ruthless man fast enough!

Why would they dare approach him?

Even Eastern King Gong's friends stayed far away—

They had just listened to the Sage's teachings, and it looked as though their cultivation could soon advance another step.

Who would risk their life against a powerful expert for a dead man?

Eastern King Gong?

They were not even close!

Oh, no—

At this point, Eastern King Gong had already been burned to a crisp.

Seeing everyone avert their eyes and retreat, Dan Jing did not press the matter.

His gaze swept across them. He had originally intended to leave, but then he noticed Queen Mother of the West among the travelers of the mortal world, cautiously glancing at him.

His brow furrowed again:

"What the hell are you looking at?"
