Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

Banners fluttered and war drums boomed.

One after another, magical boats, some tens of thousands of miles in size, took to the air and flew towards the central region of Yanzhou.

These Dharma boats, each tens or hundreds of thousands of miles in size, stretched across the sky. They were already enormous creatures that blotted out the sun, but at this moment, compared to that truly colossal object, these Dharma boats were like fish swimming next to a whale shark in a vast ocean.

And that whale shark was the flagship of the three sects: Penglai, Qinghua, and Tianhe.

Amidst the fierce winds, thunder, and fire, the winds were repelled, the thunder and fire were deflected, and all sorts of great forces of heaven and earth exerted their influence, yet none of them could penetrate that thin barrier of spiritual energy.

This spiritual energy barrier is extremely thin, yet it encompasses an area of ​​millions of miles.

And what supports this spiritual energy barrier is the main warship of the Eastern Heavenly Daoist Clan.

Three colossal vessels, each a full three million miles long and hundreds of thousands of miles high, swept across the star field of Yanzhou in the Nine Provinces Realm like gods, cutting through the gales and thunder.

The three main ships were covered with engravings of immortal marks and Daoist seals, imprinted with countless cloud-restricted spiritual patterns, and interwoven with various magical restrictions and spiritual marks, radiating a seven-colored light.

The main ship resembled a Kunpeng soaring across the sky, roaming freely through the sea of ​​clouds and the starry sky. Countless naval cannons, each thousands of feet in size, were densely packed on both sides of the main ship, which was further enhanced by various war weapons and magical treasures. The entire main ship was like a star beast armed to the teeth, exuding an incomparably powerful aura.

To the left and right of the three main ships, countless warships spanning tens or hundreds of thousands of miles patrolled and escorted them.

With three main warships of the Eastern Heaven Daoist School as the core, surrounded by hundreds of magic boats, along with tens of millions of Daoist soldiers and hundreds of thousands of Upper Three Realms Immortals, they formed the main force of the Eastern Heaven Daoist School, capable of sweeping across the star sea and destroying the Great Thousand Worlds.

If there's anything truly missing, it's only the personal descent of the Pure Yang Dao Lord.

However, once the Pure Yang Dao Lord descends to the mortal realm and takes action, this massive main fleet covering tens of millions of miles of airspace will cease to exist.

Under the influence of pure Yang, such a fleet would be invincible.

As this enormous fleet headed towards the central region of Yanzhou, the Longevity Immortal Palace had already learned of the news.

Whether it was the undisguised arrival of Immortal Lord Xuanjing or the fleet's undisguised advance, both were announcing to the Qiankun Dao Sect and Immortal Lord Wanshou: We have arrived.

Inside the Longevity Immortal Palace, the Longevity Immortal Lord looked at the vast fleet covering tens of millions of miles on the projection and couldn't help but reveal a sneer: "A fleet of this scale, the Eastern Heaven Daoist family really values ​​me."

"Notify the Yuanyang Dao Sect, the Tianyuan Sheng Sect, and the Yin-Yang Zheng Sect to prepare for battle."

"Give the three Heavenly Gates of the East, South, and West to them. Since the North Heavenly Gate has been breached, I will personally guard it."

"In that case, they should be satisfied."

As expected, with the decision of the Immortal Lord of Longevity to personally go to the Northern Heavenly Pass to confront the Immortal Lord of Xuanjing, the Yuanyang Dao Sect, the Tianyuan Holy Sect, and the Yin-Yang Orthodox Sect also went to guard the three Heavenly Passes in the East, South, and West respectively.

Sitting in the Longevity Hall of the Longevity Immortal Palace, the Longevity Immortal Lord watched as the Yuan Yang Dao Sect, the Tian Yuan Sheng Sect, and the Yin Yang Zheng Sect departed. He snorted coldly, and the vast and boundless magical power within his body was unleashed, an invisible force enveloping the entire Longevity Immortal Palace.

In an instant, accompanied by the earth shaking, the Longevity Palace, stretching for millions of miles, rose from the ground and slowly moved towards the North Heavenly Pass.

If the Daoist palaces scattered throughout the four regions of Yanzhou are the Daoist temples of the Qiankun Daoist Sect for the Yuan and Feng generations, then the entire Yanzhou is the Daoist temple for the Immortal Lord of Longevity.

The central region of Yanzhou is the center of this training ground.

The Immortal Lord of Longevity has been presiding over Yanzhou for nearly ten thousand years. With the manpower and resources of Yanzhou, as well as the rare and precious materials from all walks of life, he has crafted this Immortal Palace of Longevity, which stretches for millions of miles.

This Longevity Immortal Palace is the true Daoist temple of the Longevity Immortal Lord, and it is also the core of the entire Yan State.

It suppresses the fortune of the five regions of Yanzhou, remotely controls the earth veins and spiritual energy of Yanzhou, and the entire immortal palace is covered with various arrays and restrictions, engraved with dense spiritual restrictions, immortal marks and Dao seals. It is almost equivalent to a Mahayana immortal treasure, and is even stronger than the main ship of the Eastern Heaven Daoist who roams the heavens.

After all, the Eastern Heaven Daoist School can continuously forge and manufacture massive warships that span millions of miles, but the Longevity Immortal Palace is unique in all the heavens and myriad realms.

When the main fleet of the Eastern Heavenly Daoist sect arrived outside the Northern Heavenly Pass, what they saw was the majestic celestial palace suspended above the pass, covering millions of miles.

"Uncle-Master, look." True Monarch Zhaozhen pointed ahead.

The main ship is enormous, and can be seen as a country suspended in the clouds. Its interior is large enough to accommodate tens of millions of living beings. Various palaces and pavilions are lined up on the deck, and the highest pavilion can overlook the entire ship.

Inside the Heavenly Pavilion, Immortal Lord Xuanjing looked ahead and saw a vast immortal palace amidst the surging clouds, standing firm despite the onslaught of thunder and fire.

The celestial palace was enormous and exquisitely designed, arranged in the pattern of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams, with all kinds of cloud palaces and pavilions. Inside, there were countless pavilions and corridors, artificial mountains and flowing springs, waterfalls and rivers, making it a veritable kingdom.

In the very center of that celestial palace, within the largest celestial hall, a radiant aura, as bright as the sun, slowly rose and condensed above the Longevity Palace, transforming into a pair of calm and indifferent eyes.

As those eyes looked over, an overwhelming pressure swept across, stirring up a storm of thunder and fire within the main fleet of the Eastern Heavenly Daoist family.

But a profound and abyss-like pressure crashed down on them like a raging storm, instantly stirring up countless thunderbolts and gales that shook the entire fleet.

And this was merely due to the gaze cast upon him by the Immortal Lord of Longevity.

This Mahayana Immortal Lord indeed possessed the immense power and cultivation to suppress an entire state.

Just as the entire fleet was in turmoil, above the main ship of the Tianhe Dao Sect, the aura of Immortal Lord Xuanjing soared into the sky, instantly blocking the pressure of Immortal Lord Wanshou. Then, a pair of equally bright and dazzling eyes appeared in the sky.

In an instant, as the two pairs of immortal eyes met, their profound pressure clashed, causing lightning and thunder to flash for tens of millions of miles around. The clouds were dyed black, and the layer of gale-force winds, thunder, and fire also stirred up turbulent waves.

Gradually, accompanied by muffled thunder and invisible pressure, the entire sky was torn apart!

When everyone looked up, they could only see that the sky seemed to have been torn apart by brute force, revealing deep, uneven ravines.

Standing on the deck, you can see not only the torn black sea of ​​clouds, but also the split layers of gale-force winds, thunder, and fire, and the starry void at the top!
Under the silent confrontation between the two Mahayana Immortal Lords, the entire starry sky has been clearly marked with colors unique to the two celestial lords.

And this was merely a glance exchanged between two immortal lords.

Even though the pressure from the two immortal lords did not affect others, everyone was shocked by the great power of the Mahayana immortal lords in this collision that silently tore the heavens and earth apart.

The final stage of the nine realms of cultivation, the Great Ascension Immortal Lord, truly stands alone below the Pure Yang realm!
Gradually, with the invisible collision of the two Mahayana Immortal Lords, the space around the torn starry sky cracked and collapsed inch by inch, revealing the hidden void turbulence behind it. Then, the void storm was also shaken by the great power of the two Immortal Lords and turned into a torrent that began to surge and churn.

Seeing the void storm raging across the heavens and earth, and the fierce winds and thunder roaring in the mortal realm, the two immortal lords finally withdrew their power.

"Humph!"

The Immortal Lord of Longevity snorted coldly, and his indifferent and ruthless eyes, which had been observing the mortal world, vanished without a trace.

Xuanjing Immortal Lord smiled and said with a sigh, "Long live the Emperor, but you are still a notch below me!"

Clearly, in that contest of power just now, Immortal Lord Xuanjing had gained the upper hand.

Upon hearing this, True Lord Zhaozhen hurriedly said, "Uncle-Master's supernatural powers are far beyond what Wanshou can compare to. With Uncle-Master personally taking action, it won't be long before the banners of our Eastern Heaven Daoist family are planted in Yanzhou."

However, Immortal Lord Xuanjing glanced at True Lord Zhaozhen and said, "Zhaozhen, flattery is useless. It's time to return the Immortal Binding Rope I gave you."

Previously, True Lord Zhaozhen captured Jinghua alive with the Immortal Binding Rope given to him by Immortal Lord Xuanjing. Now, True Lord Zhaozhen has treasured that Immortal Binding Rope and put it away. He originally thought of flattering Immortal Lord Xuanjing so that he would forget about the matter, but unexpectedly, although Immortal Lord Xuanjing is old, his memory is not bad.

Now, True Lord Zhaozhen was a little embarrassed. He chuckled, with a hint of flattery, "Uncle-Master, let your junior nephew use that Immortal Binding Rope. We don't know how many Five Tribulations we'll have to deal with in the upcoming battles. We should at least have some trump cards up our sleeves, right?"

Seeing Zhaozhen Zhenjun's shameless act, Xuanjing Xianjun snorted coldly, raised his hand, and a golden rope flew out from Zhaozhen Zhenjun's sleeve, circled in the air, and transformed into a hemp rope wrapped around Xuanjing Xianjun's waist.

"This is a treasure that Senior Brother Xuanjian gave me. How can I let you keep it forever?"

"Go away, go away! Don't linger in front of this old man, you're just being annoying!"

After retrieving the Immortal Binding Rope, Immortal Lord Xuanjing waved his hands repeatedly to drive him away, forcing True Lord Zhaozhen to leave.

After True Lord Zhaozhen left, Immortal Lord Xuanjing chuckled softly, then looked at the Longevity Immortal Palace stretching across the clouds opposite him, his expression gradually turning cold: "Qiankun Dao Sect, the grudges between you and my Tianhe Sect are numerous, it's time to settle one of them!"

The next day, outside Beitian Pass.

The four sects of Penglai, Tianhe, Qinghua, and Chixiao each dispatched 20 million Dao soldiers, who were arrayed between heaven and earth to form a four-colored iron wall, radiating divine light.

Within those ranks of ten thousand soldiers, banners fluttered in the wind, rustling and swaying.

Eighty million low-grade Dao soldiers are equivalent to eighty million low-grade Golden Core cultivators.

However, on the battlefield, even 80 million low-grade Golden Core cultivators are nothing more than cannon fodder.

Before these 80 million Dao soldiers were the three immortals of the Upper Three Realms from the Eastern Heaven Daoist School and the Crimson Cloud Daoist Sect.

Penglai Dao Sect: Lingwei, Lingyu, Jiangsheng, Linfan, Lingxuan, Lingqiu;
Tianhe Dao Sect: Mingxian, Mingfang, Mingzhen, Mingyou, Mingjing, Mingdong;
Qinghua Daoist Sect: Xuan Yi, Xuan Xin, Xuan Ji, Xuan Sang, Xuan Jing, Xuan Xing;
Chixiao Dao Sect: Xu Yuanzi, Zhao Xingzi, Ming Jizi, Zhen Leizi, Yan Huazi, Dan Jingzi, Zhu Yuzi.

All the current generation disciples of the Eastern Heaven Daoist School and the Crimson Cloud Daoist Sect participated in the battle, and Jiang Sheng stood out from the crowd amidst the Void Refining Realm.

After all, among a group of late-stage Void Refinement cultivators and several peak Void Refinement cultivators, the presence of an additional Nascent Soul cultivator was far too obvious.

At this moment, Xuanjing Immortal Lord, accompanied by Yuanyi True Lord, Hongyi True Lord, Zhaozhen True Lord, and other Five Tribulation True Lords, looked down at the contemporary true disciples of the Eastern Heaven Daoist School. Looking at these juniors from ten thousand years later, Xuanjing Immortal Lord was clearly very satisfied.

When Xuanjing Immortal Lord saw Jiang Sheng, he looked at Yuanyi True Lord and said, "Young Yuanyi, this must be Lingyuan, the rising star of Penglai."

Yuan Yi Zhenjun smiled and said, "Yes, Uncle Xuanjing, that's right, he is Lingyuan."

Xuanjing Immortal Lord nodded repeatedly: "Good young man, good lad. Not to mention your handsome appearance, your innate talent, comprehension and Dao heart are also first-class. It's really a bit of a shame that such a prodigy was picked up by Penglai."

Yuan Yi Zhenjun simply smiled, watching the old immortal lament. The more he lamented, the more pleased Yuan Yi Zhenjun became: for the next ten thousand years, the leaders of the Xuanmen Daoist school will definitely be from Penglai!
Who can blame them? No matter if it's Tianhe, Qinghua, Chixiao, or Yaochi, none of them have a prodigy like Jiang Sheng.
After a long sigh, Immortal Lord Xuanjing said, "Call Lingyuan up here."

Yuan Yi Zhenjun looked behind him and said, "Yu Ming, go and call Ling Yuan up."

A few breaths later, Jiang Sheng appeared on the main ship of the Tianhe Dao Sect. Looking at the group of Five Tribulation True Monarchs of the Eastern Heaven Daoist School in front of him, and the Xuanjing Immortal Monarch surrounded by the Five Tribulation True Monarchs, Jiang Sheng felt a chill in his heart, but his face remained unchanged: "Ling Yuan greets Xuanjing Immortal Monarch."

Immortal Lord Xuanjing laughed and said, "Young Lingyuan, among the current generation of the Eastern Heaven Daoist family, you are the most outstanding."

"Before I came here, I heard Zhaozhen and the others say that you would be allowed to be a vanguard officer."

"Now, the army of the Eastern Heaven Daoist School is at the North Heaven Pass of Yanzhou. The young man Wanshou has even personally come to the other side. The ones accompanying him must be the true elites of the Qiankun Daoist Sect."

"The Yuan and Feng generations of the Qiankun Dao Sect are mostly filler characters who were forced to grow up, but none of the Xuan and Jing generations are weak."

"Now I ask you again, do you still dare to be the vanguard officer?"

Jiang Sheng bowed and said, "Whatever the Immortal Lord commands, please grant it."

Immortal Lord Xuanjing reminded him, "Lingyuan, you must know that this is the first major battle between our Eastern Heaven Daoist School and the various Xuanmen sects of the Qiankun Daoist School. We cannot be careless."

"If you win, I will reward you; if you lose, I will punish you. Don't think that just because you are a true disciple of Penglai, I can't punish you."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, including a group of Fifth Tribulation True Monarchs, Jiang Sheng seemed to feel no pressure whatsoever, and bowed again, saying, "Please give your order, Immortal Monarch."

"Good!" Immortal Lord Wanshou clapped his hands in satisfaction and laughed, "In that case, Lingyuan, listen to my command! You are to go into battle first and give this old man a good beating on Wanshou brat's arrogance!"

After receiving the order, Jiang Sheng took to the air, crossing his own army formation and heading straight for the Qiankun Dao Sect army outside Beitian Pass.

At this moment, not only the Eastern Heavenly Daoist School deployed its military formation, but the Qiankun Daoist School also gathered Daoist soldiers from various places and arranged them into battle formation.

The remaining members of the Qiankun Dao Sect, those of the Feng and Yuan generations, were on high alert. As far as the eye could see, streams of Qi Refining Qi shot straight into the sky, transforming into dazzling stars in the sea of ​​stars through the gale-force winds, thunder, and fire.

In Yanzhou today, the sun shines brightly, with hundreds of celestial stars gleaming and gathering in the direction of the Northern Heavenly Pass. The bright stars release their starlight power, and the profound energy flows like a vast sea.

With the blessing of the Refining Void True Monarchs, the army formation of the Qiankun Dao Sect was filled with a fierce aura that soared to the sky. The intent of the golden spears was sharp and invincible. Furthermore, the illusory forms of spirit beasts appeared above the army formation. Looking at it, it was truly a scene of great momentum and awe-inspiring power.

However, right in front of this majestic and imposing military formation, a streak of light rushed towards them.

Upon seeing this, Han Yuan immediately shouted, "Stop him!"

In an instant, the military formations of the Qiankun Dao Sect burst forth with spiritual energy and mysterious light, and countless supernatural powers and spells rose into the sky, surging away like a storm.

At the same time, the illusory spirit beast formed by the mysterious evil energy also burst forth with strength no weaker than that of a cultivator at the Void Refining stage, roaring and spewing out fireballs, summoning bolts of lightning, and unleashing gusts of wind that poured towards that stream of light.

In an instant, supernatural powers rained down and spells filled the air, but beneath this dense array of supernatural powers and spells, a cold glint suddenly appeared.

In an instant, the longsword hummed like the cry of a crane or the roar of a dragon, its soaring light piercing the sky, its brilliant energy stirring in all directions. Just as countless supernatural powers and spells were pressing down, a clear and calm Daoist voice rang out.

"Severing Heaven, Breaking All Laws!"

As the Daoist chant resounded, a mottled sword rainbow streaked through the sky amidst the flowing light.

The sword rainbow, with its mottled colors, seemed to gather the power of the four elements, or perhaps it condensed the energy of the three calamities, the intent of the three calamities and their destruction, and the power of the four elements' rotation, transforming into a sword that could destroy all laws.

In an instant, a rainbow pierced the sun, obliterating all laws; the fireball shattered, the gale vanished, and the thunder dissipated, leaving the world clear!
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the streak of light swept to the front of the Qiankun Dao Sect formation, and the Daoist who had annihilated all laws with a single sword revealed his true face.

The Taoist priest, wearing a green crown and a black robe, carrying a black longsword, surveyed the Yuan and Feng generation True Monarchs of the Qiankun Dao Sect as if they were sheep.

"I, Penglai Lingyuan, who dares to challenge me?" (End of Chapter)
