Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

In an instant, a mystical light crisscrossed, and celestial energy drifted by. Brilliant celestial stars, comparable to the sun, shone brightly over the southern region, illuminating all directions. Awe-inspiring and majestic auras, as deep as abyss and as imprisoned as a prison, swept in, firmly locking onto the auras of True Monarch Tianyang and True Monarch Tianyue.

Looking at those renowned immortals of the Penglai Dao Sect who were famous throughout the heavens and resounded throughout the three realms, the expressions of True Lord Tianyang and True Lord Tianyue changed completely: they originally thought they were here to control Jiang Sheng, but they did not expect that the true disciples of the Penglai Dao Sect's Master and Jade generations were all here!
Qingxiao Yuming Zhenjun smiled and stepped forward: "Fellow Daoist Tianyang, Fellow Daoist Tianyue, the wheel of fortune has turned, please stay."

Mysterious light soars into the sky, its energy as vast as the sea; celestial stars shine brightly, illuminating the moon.

Amidst the sea of ​​clouds and the radiant sky in the southern region of Yanzhou, one can see the rosy clouds spreading and rainbows crisscrossing. Beneath the bright stars that illuminate the four directions, and amidst the auspicious clouds representing the immortals of the upper three realms, the immortals of Penglai, with their ethereal cloud-like robes and high-hanging Dao wheels, stand tall under the sun.

Looking around, one sees a scene of celestial light and precious jewels, with jade crowns and robes of various colors, and all the true treasures and ceremonial regalia shining brightly.

Amidst that vast and ethereal aura, amidst the howling winds and raging flames, the immortals of Penglai gazed arrogantly at Tianyang and Tianyue below, as if looking at two dead men.

The True Yin-Yang Path of the Xuanhuang Realm?
Heavenly Sun True Lord, Heavenly Moon True Lord?

What is it compared to Penglai in the Eastern Heaven of the Three Realms?
Suddenly, a faint, ethereal light spread out, and an extraordinary figure emerged from it.

Wearing a Tianbao five-flower crown and a Xuanlin Wanhe robe;
She wore a jade dragon belt around her waist and boots with cloud-like waves on her feet.

Behind the Taoist, a bright, moon-like Taoist wheel shone with clear light, and the jeweled crown on his head emitted a five-colored aura that rose and transformed into a three-colored canopy of fortune. Furthermore, the five elements within his chest circulated and swirled, and the vast spiritual energy of the five elements surrounded his body, transforming into cloud-like ribbons and feathers.

The Heavenly Light Precious Umbrella hung on the Taoist's left shoulder, the Mysterious Soul Purple Gold Bell floated on his right side, and a Jade Ruyi was held in his hand. A blue dragon swirled around the Taoist, making him appear majestic and extraordinary.

Upon seeing the Taoist priest who had appeared, Tianyang and Tianyue's hearts sank to the bottom: the Fifth Tribulation True Monarch of the Penglai Taoist Sect.

Taiyi Dongxuan Tianlu Yuanlin Zhenjun.

Yuan Lin Zhenjun looked at Jiang Sheng with a kind expression and a smile: "Ling Yuan, you did well. Come here."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Sheng immediately rode a cloud to Yuan Lin Zhenjun's side and performed a Daoist bow: "Lingyuan greets Uncle Yuan Lin."

Yuan Lin Zhenjun looked Jiang Sheng up and down, then smiled at the Zhenjuns of the Shi and Yu generations around him and said, "This little fellow of my Penglai Ling generation has only just broken through to the Integration Realm, yet he already has the cultivation of a Tribulation Realm. This is a pure Yang seedling."

Upon hearing this, all of them—Shi Hua Zhenjun, Shi Jun Zhenjun, Shi Ping Zhenjun, and Yu Ming Zhenjun—smiled. Yu Ming Zhenjun, in particular, looked at Jiang Sheng with exceptional satisfaction.

Looking at the satisfied and approving expressions of his fellow disciples around him, Jiang Sheng understood that he seemed to have taken another step forward in the sect and entered a completely new circle.

The more Yuanlin Zhenjun looked at Jiang Sheng, the more satisfied he became. With a flick of his wrist, a treasure box shrouded in purple mist appeared in his palm.

Immediately, True Monarch Yuanlin handed the treasure box to Jiang Sheng, saying, "You have just broken through to the next realm, so you must carefully stabilize your realm and leave no hidden dangers."

"Take this Taiyi Zihua Pill when you get back; it will help stabilize your cultivation level."

Having said that, Yuan Lin Zhenjun seemed to have finally remembered Tianyang and Tianyue. He glanced at the two casually and said in a flat and indifferent voice, "Trying to bully the weak by relying on your strength? You want to deal with the pure Yang seedlings of my Penglai?"

"Shi Hua, you two take these two back."

After saying this, True Monarch Yuanlin, along with Jiang Sheng, True Monarch Yuming, and the others, disappeared into the southern sky.

Throughout the entire process, Yuan Lin Zhenjun only glanced at Tianyang and Tianyue once.

As True Lord Yuanlin departed, True Lord Shihua, True Lord Shijun, and True Lord Shiping dispersed to the left and right, forming a Three Talents Formation to surround Tianyang and Tianyue.

At this moment, True Lord Tianyang was filled with remorse. If he had known that the reinforcements from the Penglai Dao Sect would arrive so quickly, why would he have bothered to come and take a look?!

However, no matter how powerful he was, he had no ability to reverse time. Looking at Shi Hua Zhenjun, who was holding the Star-Pointing Heavenly Dipper, Tianyang Zhenjun said in a deep voice, "Shi Hua, do you really want to fight me to the death?"

Master Hua Zhenjun laughed and said, "Tianyang, you weren't like this just now."

"But rest assured, your life or death is not up to us, but up to you."

"If you defeat us, you will live. But if you lose, you should leave your life behind. However, your soul will not be scattered. You will have a place on the Investiture of the Gods."

As he spoke, True Lord Shihua summoned the Starry Sky Dipper, and in an instant, all the celestial phenomena manifested. Stars shone brightly, forming a vast sea of ​​stars. The Starry Sky Dipper absorbed the power of all the celestial stars, transforming into a river of starlight that stretched across the sky and poured down.

"First, think about how to escape from my starry Milky Way!"

The Starlight Milky Way is forged from the brilliance of countless stars, with every ray of starlight and every ray of starlight condensing into the icy and scorching waters of the Milky Way.

The so-called coldness is because the water of the Milky Way can freeze the soul and seal away magical power; while the scorching heat is because the water of the Milky Way can cook the flesh and burn the Dao fruit.

Judging the Milky Way solely by its temperature would be a mistake.

This is no ordinary water; it is starlight water, formed from the condensation and dripping of starlight rays. Every drop contains the spiritual essence of Master Hua Zhenjun, and every drop is imbued with the true meaning of Master Hua Zhenjun's laws.

Gazing at the overwhelming torrent of celestial water, True Lord Tianyang unhesitatingly summoned his Great Sun Gilded Pagoda, which transformed into countless sun wheels that expanded in all directions.

At the same time, True Lord Tianyue reached into the green bamboo and silver silk basket, took out a handful of moonlight, and scattered it around.

In an instant, as the sun and moon shone and surged, the intertwined forces of yin and yang gave birth to a strange Dharma form.

Faxiangsheng has three heads and six arms. His left head is as red as the sun, and his right head is as cold as the moon. His body is also half red and half cold. His six arms hold a sun sword, a sun wheel, a sun bow, a moon arrow, a moon seal, and a moon plaque.

As the Dharma Image rose from the ground and the starlight and celestial river poured down, the Dharma Image waved its six arms, and the power of the sun and moon surged towards the celestial river pouring down from above.

Seeing this, True Lord Shihua was not in a hurry and laughed, "Shi Jun, Shi Ping, what are you two waiting for?"

Upon hearing this, True Lord Shijun took out a Myriad-Jun Heavenly Star Seal from his bosom and raised his hand to strike the head representing True Lord Tianri on the left side of the strange Dharma Image; at the same time, True Lord Shiping summoned a Phoenix Ping Flowing Light Sword and urged the sword to stab the head representing True Lord Tianyue on the right side of the strange Dharma Image.

In an instant, True Lord Shi Jun and True Lord Shi Ping activated their magic weapons. The Myriad Jun Heavenly Star Seal and the Phoenix Ping Flowing Light Sword broke through the protective aura of the strange Dharma Image and landed on the left and right heads. In an instant, the crimson head withered, and the icy head was also pierced by the magic sword and its aura was broken.

In an instant, before the strange Dharma Form could repair its two heads, the icy-cold and scorching starlight water crashed down.

"Tianyang, Tianyue, it's time to take a bath."

The western region of Yanzhou, the battlefield of Lanyuan.

Even though the wars in the Eastern and Southern Regions had taken a turn for the worse, the Tianhe Dao Sect continued to fight the Tianyuan Holy Sect to the death on the battlefield in the Western Region of Yanzhou.

The True Monarchs of the two sects, both at the highest level, were locked in a fierce battle, their opponents locked in a stalemate. Meanwhile, the True Monarchs of the Fifth Tribulation on both sides were unleashing a barrage of magical attacks, alternating between illusion and reality. Just as the battle raged on, the True Monarchs of the Hua and Lan generations from the Qinghua Dao Sect suddenly descended upon the scene.

The sudden appearance of True Lord Hua Yu, True Lord Hua Yao, True Lord Hua Qiong, True Lord Lan Jing, True Lord Lan Qing, and True Lord Lan You undoubtedly reversed the battle situation. However, in no time, the Jing generation True Lords and the only remaining Feng generation True Lords of the Qiankun Dao Sect appeared together and blocked the reinforcements of the Qinghua Dao Sect.

After a fierce battle, both sides retreated.

The power of the Eastern Heavenly Daoist School has taken root in the northern region of Yanzhou, using it as its main base. Meanwhile, the power of the Heavenly Origin Holy Sect, the Yin-Yang Orthodox Sect, and the Dao Yi Palace has begun to shrink towards the three Heavenly Passes in the east, south, and west, giving up all the surrounding Daoist Palaces to the Eastern Heavenly Daoist School.

From the very beginning, when Penglai and Qinghua were at a disadvantage and Tianhe and Chixiao were evenly matched, to the current situation where the opponent has completely retreated, the turn of events has been so swift that it happened in the blink of an eye.

It seems that with Jiang Sheng breaking through his cultivation realm and merging with the body, first breaking the predicament in the Eastern Region and then relieving the siege in the Southern Region, the entire battlefield began to favor the Eastern Heavenly Daoist School.

At this moment, in the newly established camp of the Eastern Heavenly Daoist School in the northern region of Yanzhou, the atmosphere was intense.

Looking up, one could see the renowned immortals of the Eastern Heaven, whose fame resounded throughout the heavens and the three realms, including Yu Ming Zhenjun, Yu Che Zhenjun, and Yu Jing Zhenjun of the Penglai Dao Sect; Hua Yu Zhenjun, Hua Yao Zhenjun, and Hua Qiong Zhenjun of the Qinghua Dao Sect; Lan Jing Zhenjun, Lan Qing Zhenjun, and Lan You Zhenjun; Long Quan Zhenjun, Long Ding Zhenjun, and Long Yue Zhenjun of the Tianhe Dao Sect; as well as Cang Yuan Zhenjun, Cang Xu Zhenjun, and Cang Lan Zhenjun.

Furthermore, the Five Tribulation True Lords, including Zhaozhen True Lord, Zhaoye True Lord, Zhaohong True Lord, Hongyi True Lord, Hongde True Lord, Hongxuan True Lord, and Yuanlin True Lord, were seated at the head of the main hall. The main hall of the camp was filled with auspicious clouds and celestial energy, truly a scene of dazzling stars and countless immortals.

In front of these sect masters, whether it was Mingxian, Mingfang, Xuanyi, Xuanxin, or Lingwei and Lingyu, they all became juniors in name only, sitting at the bottom of the table.
However, there is one exception.

Jiang Sheng.

Just as the current generation of the Eastern Heaven Daoist lineage was seated at the end of the table, Jiang Sheng sat down next to True Lord Yuan Lin. True Lord Zhao Zhen, True Lord Hong Yi, and others around True Lord Yuan Lin did not object to this, which made Jiang Sheng particularly noticeable.

Not to mention Mingxian and the others, even Xuyuanzi, Kongzhen and others were somewhat bewildered. When did the cultivation level of the Void Refining Realm allow one to sit among a group of Fifth Tribulation True Monarchs?

Especially the True Monarchs of Qinghua Dao Sect, who arrived earlier than Penglai and were not originally on the battlefield like Tianhe Dao Sect, were the least aware of the situation. Looking at Jiang Sheng, who was sitting down peacefully, True Monarch Huayu smiled and said, "Longquan, Yuming, whose idea was it to let Lingyuan sit there?"

“Even if Lingyuan is the leader of this generation, we cannot let him sit among all the senior uncles and elder brothers.”

"Isn't this putting the younger generation in a very difficult position?"

Yu Ming Zhenjun shrugged and deliberately said, "This wasn't my idea; it was Uncle Yuan Lin's."

Hua Yu Zhenjun was stunned. Yuan Lin Zhenjun?!
Just as Hua Yu Zhenjun was about to ask again, Lan Jing Zhenjun patted him on the shoulder: "Uncle Hongyi and Uncle Zhaozhen have no objections, why are you worrying about this?"

"Do you really think our senior brothers and uncles don't know the principle of 'the tallest tree in the forest'?"

"Let's wait and see, our senior uncles and elder brothers will give us their own explanations."

As expected, soon after True Lord Yuanlin finished discussing with True Lord Zhaozhen, True Lord Hongyi, and other Fifth Tribulation True Lords, he stood up. In an instant, the aura of the Fifth Tribulation True Lords spread out, quieting down the originally noisy hall.

All the immortals looked at True Lord Yuanlin, waiting for him to speak.

Yuan Lin Zhenjun laughed and said, "Now, the main force of our Eastern Heaven Daoist School has gathered in Yanzhou, intending to quell the chaos in Yanzhou in one battle."

"In this great battle, we will definitely need a vanguard officer to clear the way for the army."

"After discussions with fellow Daoists Zhaozhen and Hongyi, we have found a candidate for the vanguard officer."

After saying that, True Monarch Yuanlin pointed at Jiang Sheng and said with a smile, "Lingyuan, a true disciple of the Ling generation of Penglai, has now broken through the realm and merged with the body, overcoming the decline of his lifespan, and has achieved a tribulation of cultivation."

"This is not only a rising star of Penglai, but also a rising star of the Eastern Heavenly Daoist School. He is the most suitable person to be the vanguard!"

As Yuan Lin Zhenjun spoke, all the immortals looked at Jiang Sheng, especially the people from Qinghua Dao Sect and Tianhe Dao Sect. Hua Yu Zhenjun stared at Jiang Sheng in astonishment, as if looking at some kind of monster: "One Tribulation? He's only a little over 1,700 years old, isn't he?"

Even True Monarch Longquan couldn't help but be surprised. They had naturally sensed Jiang Sheng's breakthrough and fusion earlier, but at that time they only thought that Jiang Sheng had broken through to a higher realm. They never expected that Jiang Sheng had even passed the first tribulation of the Five Signs of Decay of Heaven and Man.

Having just broken through to the Integration Realm and already possessing the cultivation of a Tribulation, this is far too astonishing, especially considering Jiang Sheng's age. He is not even 1,800 years old yet, and he has already reached the Integration Realm. Such a prodigy is a rare sight in the myriad realms, perhaps only once every tens of thousands of years.
In an instant, the atmosphere inside the hall became increasingly noisy. The people from Tianhe and Qinghua looked at Jiang Sheng and discussed among themselves. Xu Yuanzi from the Chixiao Dao Sect, as well as Kong Zhen, the Zhuhuan Demon Lord, and the Suqin Fairy, all stared at Jiang Sheng in disbelief and were extremely astonished: a Tribulation True Lord who is less than 1,800 years old, this is more than just a prodigy, is this the reincarnation of a Pure Yang from some other realm?
Even those from Penglai looked at Jiang Sheng with considerable eagerness, their gazes reflecting the rumors circulating within the sect about the Pure Yang Seedling. These expressions made Jiang Sheng quite uneasy.

At this moment, True Monarch Yuanlin patted Jiang Sheng on the shoulder and said softly, "Calm your mind!"

"You are the pure Yang seed of my Penglai, a junior valued by the Heavenly Venerable, and the contemporary leader of the mystical sects of the heavens. With your cultivation and supernatural powers, you must bear these gazes."

"The aura of calamity is currently very strong. Under the great calamity, do you still intend to live a life of seclusion and quiet cultivation?"

"You must ride the wind and soar through the sky, you must become famous throughout the heavens and your name resound throughout the world."

“In Lingyuan, each generation has its own story, and every ten thousand years, there is a person destined for it.”

"Although you are neither the one destined for disaster nor the chosen one of destiny, in these ten thousand years, no one has been more outstanding than you."

"The people in the hall now are all your help in attaining the Pure Yang Dao Fruit in the future. You need to show them how capable you are so that they will support you in competing for the Pure Yang Dao Fruit."

"Bear the burden well; this ordeal is your chance to achieve success and fame."

Before long, several more figures arrived in the bustling hall: True Lord Yuanyi, True Lord Shihua, True Lord Shijun, and True Lord Shiping had returned.

With the return of True Lord Yuanyi and others, the atmosphere in the hall became even more lively. The immortals chatted and laughed, discussing Jiang Sheng's achievements over the years and the current situation in Yanzhou, clearly regarding Yanzhou as their own.

In contrast to the lively atmosphere of the Eastern Heavenly Daoist School, the atmosphere in the Longevity Immortal Palace was extremely somber.

The True Lords of the Yin-Yang Orthodox Sect, Dao Yi Palace, Yuan Yang Dao Sect, and Tian Yuan Holy Sect, who were all at the combined level or at the Refining Void Daoist level, showed either anger or calmness, without the slightest hint of joy.

Dao Yi Palace Master Sun True Lord calmly looked at everyone: "This time, our plan has failed again."

"The Mountain and River Sect was clearly well-prepared; their main force was waiting for us outside the Nine Provinces boundary long ago."

"We have suffered considerable losses this time."

As he spoke, True Lord Palm Sun looked at Immortal Lord Longevity: "Immortal Lord, our various clans have poured all their strength into coming to the Nine Provinces Realm to assist in the battle. I wonder when your clan's forces will set off from Cangzhou and Mingzhou?"

"Is the distance between Mingzhou and Yanzhou farther than the distance we traveled from all over the world?" (End of Chapter)
