Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

Looking at the rows of immortal sects and palaces that had come in accordance with the order, and at the densely packed Dao soldiers, Xuan Yi, Ming Xian, Ling Yu, and the others were all filled with excitement.

With so many Daoist soldiers and so many Mahayana forces gathered in one place, this was the first time the Eastern Heaven Daoist School had revealed its terrifying influence.

Just as everyone was excited, a huge, magnificent magic ship, millions of miles in size, squeezed through the teleportation array amidst a chorus of exclamations of surprise.

The Dharma boat is adorned with gilded cloud ornaments, inlaid with dragons and phoenixes, and decorated with landscapes and Taoist seals, radiating countless rays of light.

Beside this enormous magic vessel, which was millions of miles in size and could be considered a floating island continent, followed by hundreds and thousands of other magic vessels ranging in size from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of miles, like schools of fish swimming on either side of a giant whale, guarding this incomparably huge war vessel.

Whether it was the giant whale-like floating island Dharma boat or the surrounding Dharma boats of all sizes, they all hung a banner with the words "Azure Sun Hanging in the Clouds, Three Islands Floating on Seven Peaks," which fluttered in the fierce wind.

Upon seeing this banner, everyone around avoided it, even Xuan Yi and Ming Xian treated it with utmost respect.

Lingyu and Lin Fan couldn't help but show their joy when they saw this banner.

In a short while, the sound of chanting arose:

"In the Eastern Heaven of the Three Realms, in the Pure and Profound Penglai Heavenly Realm, the Spiritual True Lord of the Penglai Dao Sect led twenty million Dao soldiers to arrive."

The Eastern Heavenly Daoist School, the Penglai Daoist Sect!
Today, following Qinghua Xuanyi and Tianhe Mingxian, the last remaining member of the Eastern Heaven Daoist family, the current head of the Penglai Daoist Sect, and the senior disciple of the Ling generation, Lingwei, has finally arrived in the Nine Provinces with the Daoist soldiers of the Penglai Daoist Sect.

At this point, all the current true disciples of the Eastern Heavenly Daoist School had arrived, and troops from all sides had also gathered to provide assistance.

With troops arriving from all sides in droves, a major battle is imminent.

Jiutou Mountain, Cloud Top Fairy Palace.

Looking around, the current generation of true disciples from the Three Star Immortal Sect, the Mountain and Sea Immortal Palace, the Spirit Sea Immortal Sect, the Purple Cloud Immortal Sect, the Antarctic Immortal Palace, and the Yue Mountain Immortal Sect—all the major Mahayana forces—have gathered here. Each of them represents a major Mahayana force, and even one or more middle-thousand worlds. Lesser-thousand worlds or non-immortal sect-level forces are simply not qualified to appear here.

Among these renowned True Lords, a few stand out as exceptionally outstanding.

Shao Bai Mingjun.

Logically speaking, the Xuan Su Sect cannot even be called a Xuan Su Immortal Sect, but with Shao Bai Mingjun around, no one dares to underestimate the Xuan Su Sect.

As long as Shao Bai Mingjun lives, Xuan Su Sect will eventually become a powerful immortal sect.

Therefore, Jingbai Zhenjun, Haiyu Zhenjun, and others held Shaobai Mingjun in high esteem, after all, he was someone who had gained the recognition of a group of true disciples from the Xuanmen Holy Land through his own efforts.

At this moment, everyone was discussing and chatting, and the atmosphere inside the celestial palace was very lively.

As a core member surrounded by many, Shao Bai Mingjun also shared his experiences of several battles in the Nine Provinces with those around him, giving these newcomers a chance to prepare.

As everyone listened to Shao Bai Mingjun's description of battlefields that were often devastated over millions of miles, and of numerous True Monarchs of the Void Refinement Realm engaging in chaotic battles, their expressions became exceptionally serious and solemn.

They are different from Shao Bai Mingjun. Shao Bai Mingjun came because of Jiang Sheng. Otherwise, even if Xuan Su Sect did not come to the Nine Provinces Realm, no one could blame Xuan Su Sect or Shao Bai Mingjun.

But they are different. They are all behemoths who dominate a region of the Middle Thousand Worlds, and they are also affiliated forces of the Eastern Heaven Daoist School. Everyone else can run away, but they cannot.

They must participate in this battle, and they must give it their all.

That's why they were so serious when they heard Shao Bai Mingjun describe the battlefield. Clearly, the battles involving nearly ten million Dao soldiers that happened before were just small fry.

This time, the Eastern Heavenly Daoist Clan has gathered tens of millions of Daoist soldiers on their own. With such a massive number of Daoist soldiers, one can only imagine what kind of great battle will break out.

Unlike the lively atmosphere in the Cloud Peak Palace, in a side hall in Nine Heads Mountain, Xuan Yi, Ming Xian, Ling Wei and others were sitting cross-legged.

The force that truly decides the course of this great battle is now in this side hall.

Qinghua Xuanyi, Tianhe Mingxian, Penglai Lingwei, and Chixiao Xuyuanzi, along with the four Xuanmen Dao Sects and the four Pure Yang Holy Lands, are also the true main force in this battle.

Xuan Yi asked first, "Fellow Daoist Xu Yuanzi, will the Dao soldiers of the Chixiao Dao Sect arrive in two days?"

Xu Yuanzi nodded: "Mingjizi has already conveyed his trust. Two days later, the first batch of 20 million Dao soldiers from my Chixiao Dao Sect will arrive in the Nine Provinces Realm."

Mingxian slammed his hand on the table and exclaimed, "Good!"

"In this way, we can concentrate our superior forces in Yanzhou and launch a full-scale attack from both sides, like a pair of scissors striking at the heart of the enemy!"

Lingwei looked at the map prepared by the group and said in a deep voice, "We have mobilized too many troops and made too much noise in this battle. They will definitely make some moves as well. Whether it is Dao Yi Palace, Yin Yang Orthodox Sect or Yuan Yang Dao Sect, they will definitely come to our aid in large numbers."

"Moreover, the True Cloud Dao Sect in the Cloud Realm has remained silent, so we cannot afford to be careless."

Xuan nodded: "Fellow Daoist Lingwei is right. The Zhenxiao Dao Sect of the Xiaoyun Realm is not weak either. Their Xiaogong Fairy is very ruthless. When we met in the Buzhou Realm, her cultivation was not much weaker than mine."

Mingxian raised an eyebrow: "What if the people from the Zhenxiao Dao Sect have already arrived?"

Huh?! Everyone looked at Mingxian, only to see that Mingxian looked calm: "Not to mention the huge commotion we've caused, the Dao Yi Palace of the Xuanhu Realm, the Yin Yang Orthodox Sect of the Xuanhuang Realm, and the Yuan Yang Dao Sect of the Huayang Realm have all arrived. Even the Youhua Crown Prince of the Jiushi Realm and the Three Fairy Maidens of the Sanzhen Realm have come. How could the Zhenxiao Dao Sect not have shown up?"

"Just as Fellow Daoist Lingwei said, whether they didn't come or are intentionally hiding in the shadows as an ambush, we must be on guard."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yi couldn't help but rub his temples. The Zhenxiao Dao Sect's move was indeed a masterstroke. No one knew exactly where they were, yet they had to be on guard. This place alone would tie down at least hundreds of millions of Dao soldiers, and even a combatant at the peak of the Void Refining Realm.

As they were discussing, Lingwei suddenly asked, "Speaking of which, where did my Lingyuan go?"

Upon hearing this, both Xuan Yi and Ming Xian were taken aback.

Jiang Sheng had been in seclusion at Pingye Dao Palace for a long time and had not shown his face. They seemed to have forgotten about Jiang Sheng. But when Lingwei suddenly brought him up, they were shocked.

For some reason, they subconsciously ignored Jiang Sheng!
This is not right!

Jiang Sheng is currently the most capable fighter of the Eastern Heaven Daoist School, and also the leader of the Eastern Heaven Daoist School and even the contemporary Xuanmen. This important fighter is like a crucial factor that can influence the course of the battle no matter where it is placed. How could they possibly forget him?

Unless Jiang Sheng has already perished, his existence and influence will gradually disappear, but how could that be?!
Seeing Xuan Yi and Ming Xian's expressions, Ling Wei was not annoyed at all. She quickly regained her composure and began to discuss the upcoming battle with the three of them, as if mentioning Jiang Sheng was just an unintentional act.

Xuan Yi and Ming Xian also understood, and stopped discussing Jiang Sheng's life or death, letting Jiang Sheng's existence become less and less significant.

Several days later, when Zhao Xingzi and Ming Jizi of the Chixiao Dao Sect arrived with twenty million Dao soldiers, and Qinghua Xuanxin and Tianhe Mingfang arrived in Zhuzhou with Dao soldiers from the Qinghua Dao Sect and Tianhe Dao Sect respectively, everyone understood that a great battle was about to begin.

"Now, the northern region of Yanzhou is under our control, and we also have half of the western region of Yanzhou under our control."

"At present, Fellow Daoist Kong Zhen, Fellow Daoists from all over the world, and several true disciples of my Qinghua Dao Sect and Tianhe Dao Sect are still leading nearly ten million Dao soldiers to line up along the Lanyuan line, confronting Dao Yi Palace and Yin Yang Zhengzong in the Lanyuan Dao Palace."

"But right now, our target isn't Lanyuan, it's here!"

Inside the Cloud Peak Immortal Palace, Xuan Yi raised his hand and pointed, and a point on the Yanzhou map, which was ten thousand feet in size, lit up with a bright light.

Everyone looked up and saw that it was the gateway to the eastern region of Yanzhou, the Jade Mirror Palace.

“Fellow Daoist Lingwei, this time we are troubled to have your Penglai Dao Sect take the lead, conquer the Jade Mirror Dao Palace, and then advance straight in to arrive here.”

Looking closely, Lingwei saw that the direction Xuan Yi was pointing to was none other than the Eastern Heavenly Pass of Yanzhou, and the one who was in charge of this place was the Five Tribulations True Lord of the Qiankun Dao Sect, the Taiyi Dongxuan Mingyue Jingxing True Lord!
This person is a true master who has reached the pinnacle of the Body Integration Realm and attained the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top and the Five Qi Converging at the Origin.

However, under everyone's watchful eyes, Lingwei nodded: "Okay."

A Fifth Tribulation True Monarch of the Qiankun Dao Sect could annihilate twenty million Dao soldiers of the Penglai Dao Sect with a single palm strike, but Lingwei still agreed.

Because in the Nine Provinces Realm, it is not only the Qiankun Dao Sect that has a Five Tribulations True Monarch; the Yangyan Yuanyi True Monarch can be found at Nine Heads Mountain.

Seeing that Lingwei agreed, Xuanyi then looked at Mingxian: "Fellow Daoist Mingxian, I trouble you, Tianhe Dao Sect, to continue attacking the western region of Yanzhou, conquer Lanyuan, and then advance here."

Ming Xian looked toward the place Xuan Yi pointed to, the Western Heaven Pass of Yanzhou.

The one who was stationed at Xitian Pass was Taiyi Dongxuan Langque Jingxiao Zhenjun of the Qiankun Dao Sect, who was also a Five Tribulation Zhenjun.

Mingxian agreed without hesitation: "Sure."

Finally, Xuan Yi looked at the rest of the crowd and said, "As we all know, the one who is in charge of the Qiankun Dao Sect in Yanzhou is the Immortal Lord Ziying Wanshou."

"Apart from that Immortal Lord, there are five True Lords of the Fifth Tribulation: Shangyu Jinghua True Lord, Shanxu Jingkan True Lord, Mingyue Jingxing True Lord, Langque Jingxiao True Lord, and that Qianxuan Lingfeng True Lord of the Qiankun Dao Sect of the Feng generation."

"But now, we are no longer facing the five Five Tribulation True Monarchs."

“The Three Flowers on the top of Qianxuan Lingfeng True Lord’s head were cut off and the Five Qi in his chest were sealed; the Jinghua True Lord of Shangyu was also imprisoned and became a prisoner of my Eastern Heaven Daoist School.”

"Right now, there are only three Fifth Tribulation True Monarchs left in the entire Yan Province. Penglai, Tianhe and my Qinghua each take on one Fifth Tribulation True Monarch. The main force of Dao Yi Palace, Yin Yang Orthodox Sect and Yuan Yang Dao Sect will also be taken on by our three families."

“Fellow Daoist Xu Yuanzi, I trouble you, Chixiao Dao Sect, to station troops outside Beitian Pass. There is no need to enter; just keep them at Beitian Pass. If any members of Qiankun Dao Sect try to break out from your direction, please stop them.”

"In this battle, we must break through that immortal lord's outer defenses and head straight for his Longevity Immortal Palace!"

As he spoke, four arrows approached the central region of Yanzhou from the four directions of east, west, south, and north, pointing towards the Longevity Immortal Palace.

Three days later, in the eastern region of Yanzhou, at the Jade Mirror Palace.

When Jingfeng Zhenjun of Yujing Dao Palace woke up, he looked at the endless array of Dao soldiers outside, like mountains and seas, and the banners representing the three islands and seven peaks of Penglai, as well as the banners with the words "Penglai Lingwei," "Penglai Lingxuan," and "Penglai Lingqiu." He couldn't help but blink. The scene made him feel as if he were seeing a hallucination.

At the same time, Lingwei, under the banner, looked at Lingxuan and Lingqiu, who were eager to make a move beside her.

"I'm giving you a chance to prove yourselves. Go and capture Jingfeng." (End of Chapter)
