A Guide to Raising the Heavenly Dao's Little One

The Age of Declining Dharma has arrived, and spiritual energy is all but exhausted.

The Canghai Continent has seen no cultivator successfully ascend for nearly a million years. Treasures, pills, and talismans of the Spirit-Granting rank have not appeared for nearly two million years.

Everyone says the Heavenly Dao abandoned all living beings long ago, and that the Canghai Continent is doomed to perish!

Everyone blames the Heavenly Dao, unaware that it exhausted all its divine power sustaining the Three Realms. Then one day, it finally shattered and its soul vanished.

The vanished Heavenly Dao condensed into a ball of light, which turned into a plump white egg.

One day, the broke-as-a-joke sect leader of the "Myriad Spirits Sect" went out on a journey and found an egg. Thinking it would make a good extra meal, he brought water to a boil. Crack! The eggshell broke, and a baby crawled out.

Myriad Spirits Sect Leader: "???"

Their master had gone out to dodge his debts, but came back with a baby girl. They heard she'd hatched from an egg, so the clever eldest senior brother named her: "Egg-born? Dan Sheng? Let's call her Dansheng, then. Her nickname can be Dandan."

Dandan was raised by her senior brothers and sisters. She knew their sect was poor, but she also had a huge appetite. To make sure she had enough to eat every day, her seniors had to take on lots and lots of odd jobs. The eldest senior brother wrote love letters for disciples from other sects. The second senior brother dressed as a woman to perform at the Hehuan Sect, but wouldn't sell himself. The third senior sister pretended to be an unaffiliated cultivator to scavenge for treasures in secret realms. The fourth senior sister raised pigs for the neighboring sect and couldn't even bring herself to throw away the pig manure.

Dandan decided she needed to do something, too!

She rode her molting black chicken down the mountain to find a job.

"Dandan can make little jade tokens. Boss, can Dandan work in your shop and make little jade tokens for the customers?"

"No. Go away, you little brat!"

The Treasures Pavilion shopkeeper missed out on Spirit-Granting rank command tokens xN.

"Dandan can make Beauty Pills. Boss, can Dandan work in your shop and make Beauty Pills for the customers?"

"I've never heard of pills being boiled. Go on, get out of here. Stop making trouble."

The Immortal Medicine Hall shopkeeper missed out on Spirit-Granting rank pills xN.

"Dandan can draw Puppet Talismans. Boss, can Dandan work in your shop and draw Puppet Talismans for the customers?"

"What's a Puppet Talisman? Never heard of it. Beg somewhere else, little beggar!"

The Talisman Sect shopkeeper missed out on Spirit-Granting rank talismans xN.

Finding a job was so hard. Dandan couldn't help her senior brothers and sisters with their troubles…

Passing by a teahouse in the market, Dandan heard people discussing the sect competition. Apparently, she could enter by paying one low-grade spirit stone, and the winner would receive ten thousand high-grade spirit stones!

The spirit stones dazzled Dandan. She painstakingly spent all her pocket money on the entry fee, then took her idle master by the hand and set off for the competition.

The Myriad Spirits Sect leader thought little Dandan wanted to go out and have fun, so he packed up and took his little disciple on a trip.

But why did his little disciple keep heading for those big cities hosting the sect competition? The entrance fee during the tournament was expensive.

Then the Myriad Spirits Sect leader watched helplessly as his little disciple fought her way through the regional preliminaries, the regional semifinals, the regional finals, the main tournament preliminaries, the main tournament semifinals, and finally through the main tournament finals.

Myriad Spirits Sect Leader: "???"

Dandan finally won first place in the competition. She carried home ten thousand high-grade spirit stones and gave them all to her senior brothers and sisters.

Dandan had finally earned money for her family! Except…

"How can she forge Spirit-Granting rank treasures? Who is she?"

"How does she know ancient formation diagrams that have been lost to time? Who is she?"

"How does she know how to solve the three Heavenly Questions set by the Heavenly Dao? Who is she?"

"I had a long talk with her one night, and suddenly everything became clear. My heart demons faded, and I broke through to the Nascent Soul stage in one go. She saved my life, but…who exactly is she?"

Huh? Dandan? Dandan is just Dandan. Her nickname is Dandan, her full name is Dansheng, and her divine name is the Heavenly Venerable of the Great Dao.
