Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

"Is the distance between Mingzhou and Yanzhou farther than the distance we traveled from all over the world?"

Is the distance between Mingzhou and Yanzhou within the Nine Provinces boundary farther than the distance from various Great Thousand Realms to the Nine Provinces boundary?

These words, spoken by the True Lord of the Sun, made the already silent main hall of the Longevity Immortal Palace even more deathly still.

Because this is no longer just an inquiry, but a statement aimed at attacking one's conscience!

The True Lord of the Sun was practically pointing his finger at the Immortal Lord of Longevity, asking whether the Qiankun Dao Sect had deliberately held back its strength and allowed various factions to suffer casualties.

The fact that a previous generation true disciple of Dao Yi Palace, a Second Tribulation True Lord, dared to utter such hurtful words to the Great Vehicle Realm Immortal Lord Wanshou Immortal Lord on the territory of Qiankun Dao Sect, within the Daoist temple of Wanshou Immortal Lord, is enough to show the anger of the Sun-Controlling True Lord.

They fell from grace, having plucked stars, changed their dwellings, moved mountains, and filled the sea.

Those who drank from the wind, ate from the dew, gazed at the mountains, and swam in the waters have all perished.

Including the early-deceased Changsheng and Busi, only four true disciples of Daoyi Palace remain from the previous generation to the current generation!
Four!

This is almost like saying that the true lineage of Daoyi Palace over the past six thousand years has been wiped out in one fell swoop. What's the difference between this and Daoyi Palace having its bones broken?
The lineage of Xuanmen Taoism is orderly: one generation upholds the incense offerings, another maintains the facade, and yet another dedicates themselves to cultivation. This is a normal and healthy lineage.

In addition, one generation will remain in seclusion, while another generation is currently being selected.

This is the orderly five-generation lineage of the Xuanmen Taoist school, which also conforms to the principle of the rotation of the five elements and the natural order of the Great Dao. It is through this lineage that the Xuanmen Taoist school has accumulated a sufficiently vast foundation to suppress the fate of all things.

But now, the generation that supported Dao Yi Palace has been almost wiped out, and only the True Lord of the Sun and the True Lord of the Moon remain to protect the incense. The next generation of Dao Yi Palace has barely entered the gate. Without two generations of true disciples, who can support the future of Dao Yi Palace in the next three to six thousand years?

Not to mention the True Lord of the Sun, the True Lord of the Moon, as well as the Refining Sun and Gathering the Moon, all showed dissatisfaction at this moment.

Looking at the furious Palm Sun True Lord, the Longevity Immortal Lord also felt anger rising in his heart. How dare a mere second-stage junior from Dao Yi Palace question him, a dignified Mahayana Immortal Lord, in such a way?

"Zhang Ri, are you questioning this old man?"

Within the Longevity Immortal Palace, a heavy and terrifying pressure, unique to the Mahayana Immortal Lord and the final stage of the nine realms of cultivation, slowly rose.

In an instant, an immense pressure, comparable to heaven and earth and surpassing the sun and moon, pressed down on True Lord Palm Sun. Immortal Lord of Ten Thousand Longevity was clearly going to teach True Lord Palm Sun a lesson.

However, at this moment, Liuyang Zhenjun of the Yin-Yang Orthodox School also stood up: "Immortal Lord, shouldn't you give us an explanation?"

As soon as he stood up, the aura of the Fifth Tribulation True Monarch rippled out, and his oppressive power transformed into a radiant sun in the sky, blocking the raging torrent of power and shielding the Sun-Holding True Monarch from the abyss-like and hellish pressure of the Mahayana realm.

At this moment, it wasn't just Dao Yi Palace that was dissatisfied with Qiankun Dao Sect; Yin Yang Zheng Sect was also furious.

Tianyang and Tianyue, the previous generation of true disciples of the Yin-Yang Orthodox School, are now critically injured and on the verge of death as the generation that protects the incense.

Although they returned, the situation couldn't get any worse.

Even Liu Yang and Liu Yue felt their scalps tingle upon seeing the injuries: Tian Yang and Tian Yue's souls were frozen and cracked by the icy power, almost to the point of shattering, while their physical bodies were red and hot as if they were fully cooked. Even their Dao Fruits were severely damaged. Such injuries were simply beyond their ability to resolve.

Tianyang and Tianyue were seriously injured in the Southern Region of Yanzhou. If the Yuan and Feng generation members of the Qiankun Dao Sect in the Southern Region had been willing to come to their rescue at that time, and if True Lord Jingxiao of the Qiankun Dao Sect had been willing to lend a hand, how could the two chief disciples who would protect the incense of the Yin-Yang Orthodox Sect for the next three thousand years have ended up in this state?!
As Liuyang Zhenjun stood up, Wanshou Xianjun frowned, and his pressure swept over the sky like a torrent. A mere Fifth Tribulation Zhenjun, who was not a Pure Yang Realm Breakthrough Realm cultivator, was no match for Wanshou Xianjun!

In an instant, as the pressure from the Immortal Lord of Longevity grew stronger, the True Lord of Liuyang seemed unable to withstand this Mahayana pressure and gradually showed signs of defeat.

Behind Liuyang Zhenjun, Liuyue Zhenjun frowned slightly, and Shaoyang, Shaoyin and others also looked unpleasant. Although they were on the territory of Qiankun Daozong, were the people of Qiankun Daozong really like this? Did they have no reason to order them around?

Moreover, this Immortal Lord of Longevity is far too domineering!
Just as True Lord Liuyue stood up to lend True Lord Liuyang a hand, another True Lord of the Fifth Tribulation stood up, his power spreading out and transforming into the silence of returning to nothingness, shattering the star wall, and sharing the pressure of Immortal Lord Wanshou with True Lord Liuyang.

Looking at the Five Tribulation True Monarch who had suddenly stepped forward, True Monarch Liuyue sat down again, while Immortal Monarch Wanshou's expression was extremely ugly.

Yuanyang Daozong, Guanyuan Zhenjun!
But then, the Guixu Star Enclosure behind Guanyuan Zhenjun released an aura of annihilation and destruction, like a dark sun, intercepting half of the pressure from Wanshou Immortal Lord.

For a moment, a bright sun and a dim sun were both in the sky.

Guan Yuan Zhenjun said coldly, "Immortal Lord, your sect owes us an explanation."

The reason why True Lord Liuyang and True Lord Guanyuan, both Fifth Tribulation True Lords, took action was also to express their dissatisfaction with Immortal Lord Wanshou.

Wanshou Immortal Lord might not take a Dao Yi Palace's Sun-Controlling True Lord seriously, but now that the Five Tribulations True Lords of Yuan Yang Dao Sect and Yin Yang Orthodox Sect have stepped forward, Wanshou Immortal Lord can no longer sit still.

At this moment, not only Wanshou Immortal Lord, but also Han Yuan, Wen Yuan, and the remaining Feng and Yuan generation Void Refining cultivators in Yanzhou, as well as the two Fifth Tribulation True Lords, Jing Xiao and Jing Xing, all changed their expressions.

Dao Yi Palace's Zhang Ri Zhenjun died because his two generations of true disciples were too lost. Yin Yang Zheng Zong Liu Yang Zhenjun died because Tian Yang and Tian Yue were seriously injured and on the verge of death. But what happened to Yuan Yang Dao Zong Guan Yuan Zhenjun?
Everyone was puzzled, but the Immortal Lord of Longevity knew that the True Lord of Guanyuan was because of Jin Yang.
For a moment, the Immortal Lord of Longevity felt a sense of powerlessness, as if everything was beyond his control.

Apart from True Lord Deyou of the Tianyuan Holy Sect remaining silent, and Crown Prince Youhua of the Nine Treasures Immortal Kingdom being of low status, the three Pure Yang Holy Lands and Xuanmen Dao Sects of the Nine Provinces Alliance all expressed their dissatisfaction. This was a pressure that even Immortal Lord Wanshou could not resist.

For a moment, Han Yuan and Wen Yuan felt that the atmosphere in the entire Longevity Immortal Palace had become stagnant, so oppressive that it was almost hard to breathe.

Jingxing Zhenjun and Jingxiao Zhenjun frowned deeply. Opposite them, Liuyue Zhenjun of the Yin-Yang Orthodox Sect was staring at them, seemingly eager to make a move.

At this moment, Wanshou Immortal Lord was secretly resentful of the three parties joining forces to interrogate him, and also annoyed by Ling Feng and Jing Xing's incompetence. If Ling Feng and Jing Xing could have defeated Yuan Yi, their battle would not have been a loss, and he would have had something to say. How could they have suffered such a crushing defeat everywhere and been questioned by all sides?
However, Ling Feng and Jing Xing were almost utterly defeated by Yuan Yi, suffering a truly miserable defeat in this battle.

Looking at the juniors from Dao Yi Palace, Yin Yang Orthodox Sect, and Yuan Yang Dao Sect, who were either indifferent or annoyed, Wan Shou Immortal Lord sighed and restrained his aura, indicating his retreat.

As Immortal Lord Wanshou took the lead in withdrawing his attack, True Lord Liuyang and True Lord Guanyuan also restrained their own auras.

Things are different now. If it were any other time, the Immortal Lord of Longevity would never have let these juniors off so easily. But now that the support of the various holy lands is gone, how can the Qiankun Dao Sect and the seemingly united Huayun and Kongdong sects possibly face the attack of the Eastern Heaven Daoist School?
Therefore, the Immortal Lord of Longevity had no choice but to swallow his anger.

With another sigh, Immortal Lord Wanshou said, "Everyone, do not be anxious. The situation in Yanzhou is still within the expectations of my Qiankun Dao Sect."

"What was thrown out around us was just a pre-arranged battlefield intentionally given to the Mountain and River Sect."

"We only suffered a minor loss in this battle; the real test will come next."

The True Lord of the Sun pressed further, "May I ask, Immortal Lord, what does your sect intend to do?"

At this moment, the Immortal Lord of Longevity had already ignored the rudeness of Zhang Ri and the others. He calmly glanced at Zhang Ri and said, "All the true disciples of my Qiankun Dao Sect, from the Yuan generation, Feng generation, Xuan generation, and Jing generation, will participate in the battle."

"Even I, an old man, will personally take action!" The Yuan generation, the Feng generation, the Xuan generation, and the Jing generation!

This is not just the fourth generation of true disciples of the Qiankun Dao Sect. It can be said that, apart from the next generation that the Qiankun Dao Sect has not yet selected, the generation that supports the sect, the generation that protects the incense, and the two generations that have been in seclusion have all been brought out.

This is definitely the true main force of the Qiankun Dao Sect. Apart from a few old immortals in seclusion and two Pure Yang Dao Lords, the Qiankun Dao Sect has deployed almost all of its combat power.

Faced with the Qiankun Dao Sect's stance, even the Sun-Controlling True Lord couldn't say anything.

Then Wanshou Immortal Lord looked at Liuyang True Lord and Guanyuan True Lord: "Everyone, my Qiankun Dao Sect will fight to the death in Yanzhou and will not retreat lightly."

"I hope you will all give your full support."

Liuyang Zhenjun and Guanyuan Zhenjun exchanged a glance and nodded calmly.

The reason they came to the Nine Provinces Realm was precisely to interrupt the unstoppable upward momentum of the Eastern Heavenly Daoist School, and incidentally, to prevent the flames of war from spreading to their own territory.

Since the Qiankun Dao Sect dares to go all out, what do they have to fear?

Suddenly, the True Lord of the Sun asked again, "Where is the True Firmament Dao Sect?"

"Why is it that we are fighting desperately against the Mountain and River Dao Sect, yet we haven't seen any reinforcements from the True Cloud Dao Sect?"

As soon as True Lord Palm Sun asked this question, not only the people of Yuan Yang Dao Sect and Yin Yang Orthodox Sect, but also all the True Lords of Qian Kun Dao Sect couldn't help but frown.

Yes, Dao Yi Palace and Yin Yang Orthodox Sect were the first to take action, Yuan Yang Dao Sect also appeared to fight, and even the Nine Treasures Immortal Kingdom of the Nine Chambers Realm sent Prince Youhua to take action, but the True Cloud Dao Sect of the Cloud Realm, which is also an ally of the Nine Provinces, remained unmoved.

What exactly does the Zhenxiao Dao Sect mean?
Just as everyone was lost in thought, Xiao Gong's voice rang out from outside the hall: "Who said that my Zhenxiao Dao Sect has not made a move?"

"Do you really think that my Zhenxiao Dao Sect has been watching from the sidelines all this time?"

“I have found out that there are not only people from the Mountain and River Sect in Yanzhou, but also other people involved. I have even fought with them.”

Upon hearing this, Lian Ri laughed and asked, "May I ask whether Fairy Xiaogong encountered people from the Chixiao Dao Sect or from the Demon Emperor's Palace of the Northern Region of the Three Realms?"

"Or perhaps the Southern Fire God Palace of the Zhu Ming Realm, or the Yaochi Sacred Land of the Kunlun Realm?"

Lian Ri mentioned the four pure yang holy lands, referring to Xu Yuanzi, Kong Zhen, the Zhu Huan Demon Lord, and the Suqin Fairy. Moreover, Xu Yuanzi and Kong Zhen were both on the front lines of the battle, clearly implying that Xiao Palace was only going through the motions.

Unexpectedly, Xiaogong said, "What I encountered was the incarnation of the Mysterious Maiden of the Three Realms Heavenly Court."

As soon as Xiao Gong opened his mouth, he completely exposed Ye Wenshu.

As Xiao Gong's voice fell, the expressions of everyone in the hall became solemn: Ye Wenshu, the Golden Book Manifestation Mystic Maiden, was hailed as the sharp sword in the hands of the Golden Palace Heavenly Emperor. Her appearance was often accompanied by the will of that Heavenly Emperor who ruled over the Three Realms and reigned supreme over all directions.

Could it be that the Heavenly Emperor of the Divine Path also intends to get involved in the Nine Provinces Realm?
After Xiaogong finished speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the solemn expressions on everyone's faces: as long as he could intimidate these people.

Faced with the True Monarchs of the Integration Realm who were at the second or third tribulation level in the hall, especially with so many Fifth Tribulation True Monarchs and the Great Ascension Immortal Lord Wanshou in front of him, Xiaogong's hasty fabrication of lies was useless. He could only use a combination of truth and falsehood to deal with the situation for the time being.

At the very least, we can't let them take their anger out on the Zhenxiao Dao Sect.

Xiao Gong had received a decree from his own ancestor, Qiongyun, that he was merely going through the motions in the Nine Provinces Realm, putting in the work but not putting in any real effort.

Even the Immortal Lord of Longevity frowned upon hearing that Ye Wenshu had appeared in the Nine Provinces Realm, deeply considering whether the appearance of this Mystic Maiden would affect their subsequent plans.

Meanwhile, the members of Dao Yi Palace, Yin Yang Orthodox Sect, and Yuan Yang Dao Sect couldn't help but ask Xiao Gong where Ye Wen Shu's whereabouts were found, and what other discoveries they had made.

Xiaogong dealt with each issue one by one and indicated that Zhenxiao Daozong was willing to intervene to stop the power of the Heavenly Court.

Even the Sun-Mastering True Lord and the Sun-Refining True Lord couldn't say anything more about this. They put the matter of the True Cloud Dao Sect aside for the time being and began to discuss how to deal with the upcoming battle.

Immortal Lord Wanshou also calmed his mind and displayed the current battle map. Looking at the almost completely blacked-out four regions of Yanzhou, everyone's expression was extremely ugly. They all knew that this battle was a terrible defeat, but they did not expect it to be so tragic.

As they continued to consider the losses suffered by Dao Yi Palace, Yin Yang Zheng Zong, Yuan Yang Dao Zong, and Tian Yuan Sheng Zong, everyone's expressions grew increasingly grim.

Someone said, "It's all that Penglai Lingyuan's fault, it's too hateful!"

For a moment, everyone nodded in agreement, which surprised Xiao Gong. He wondered what earth-shattering thing Jiang Sheng had done in the Nine Provinces Realm.

But soon, as various accounts of Jiang Sheng's actions came to light, from his immediate defeat of the Three Calamities Lord upon his appearance, to his three entries and exits in the Northern Region of Yanzhou, breaking through more than ten Dao Palaces and injuring more than twenty True Lords, to the near demise of Jin Yang, the current chief disciple of the Yuan Yang Dao Sect, at Jiang Sheng's hands, and the killing of Dao Yi Palace's Star-Picking and Constellation-Changing, Mountain-Moving and Sea-Filling, and even the previous generation's true disciples, by Jiang Sheng.
As each incident was brought up, everyone was shocked to discover that Jiang Sheng had already taken the lives of dozens of true disciples from various families!

Dao Yi Palace, Yin Yang Orthodox Sect, Yuan Yang Dao Sect, and even Qian Kun Dao Sect all had true disciples who died under Jiang Sheng's sword. Starting from Qi Yuan during the battle in Tian Yuan Realm, Jiang Sheng almost became their nemesis. No matter who encountered Jiang Sheng, no matter how many people there were, it seemed that no one could stop this rising star of Penglai Dao Sect.

One person overpowered two generations of true masters from various holy sites!

This discovery left everyone stunned, but even more so, it filled them with shame, anger, and an inexplicable sense of apprehension.

The True Lord of the Sun said coldly, “Plucking stars and changing constellations, moving mountains and filling seas, drinking wind and eating dew, viewing mountains and traveling waters. I believe that two generations of true disciples of the Dao Palace died at the hands of Penglai Lingyuan. Is this kid really uncontrollable?”

Liu Yang Zhenjun and Guan Yuan Zhenjun remained silent. The True Water and True Fire of the Yin Yang Orthodox Sect died under Jiang Sheng's sword, as did Shao Yang and Shao Yin. Even Tian Yang and Tian Yue, who were now on the verge of death, were related to Jiang Sheng. Jin Yang of the Yuan Yang Dao Sect had also been defeated by Jiang Sheng twice, and now he was almost completely replaced by the Qian Kun Dao Sect.

How many accounts are there?

But given Jiang Sheng's current cultivation level, capable of slaying even the most powerful True Monarchs who only drink the wind and eat the dew, could an ordinary combined-force cultivator truly subdue this Penglai Lingyuan?
As for getting these Fifth Tribulation True Monarchs to take action against Jiang Sheng, a junior of the Ling generation from the Penglai Dao Sect, do they really have no shame?
For a moment, even True Lord Liuyang and True Lord Guanyuan felt an unbearable headache, while Lianri, Caiyue, Shaoyang, and Shaoyin remained silent, knowing that sending them to face Jiang Sheng now would be tantamount to sending them to their deaths.

However, amidst the silence, a hoarse and indistinct voice suddenly rang out: "Lingyuan, I'll deal with it!"

Everyone stared in astonishment, only to find it was none other than Jin Yang Daoist, the current chief Daoist of the Yuan Yang Daoist Sect!

However, at this moment, the aura of Daoist Jinyang was completely different from before.

However, this once upright and dignified Taoist master now had a sinister face and turbid energy, but his cultivation had actually reached the Integration Realm!
Jin Yang surveyed everyone in the hall, finally exchanging a glance with the Immortal Lord of Longevity, and repeated:
"Ling Yuan, I'll handle this!" (End of Chapter)
