Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

The three realms of immortals from the Eastern Heaven Daoist sect came out in full force, and even though the Qiankun Daoist sect fought with all its might against the Eastern Heaven Daoist sect alone, it was still unable to stop the battle line from retreating continuously.

It's not that the True Monarchs of the Qiankun Dao Sect weren't fighting hard enough, but rather that there were too few of them.

With the strength of the Qiankun Dao Sect, unless they bring in the Dao Yi Palace, Yin Yang Zheng Zong, and Yuan Yang Dao Sect, the combined strength of the four sects can barely keep up with the Dongtian Dao Sect. If they truly want to maintain equality, Kong Dong and Hua Yun must also join in.

This is the original Mountain and River Dao Sect, now known as the Eastern Heaven Daoist School of the Three Realms.

The combined power of Penglai, Qinghua, and Tianhe—the three Pure Yang Holy Lands and Xuanmen Dao Sects—is enough to crush any Xuanmen Great Thousand World. Even if the three Xuanmen Great Thousand Worlds joined forces, they would still be no match for the Eastern Heaven Daoist School.

This is not only because the Eastern Heaven Daoist School has hundreds or thousands of True Monarchs of the Upper Three Realms, but also because each of the Upper Three Realms of the Eastern Heaven Daoist School possesses first-class combat power across all the heavens. This is the unique true inheritance training method of the Eastern Heaven Daoist School.

Although the number of True Lords of the Eastern Heaven Daoist School is large, they never rely on quantity to win. Every True Disciple of the Eastern Heaven who can travel through the heavens is a first-class genius in all the heavens and myriad realms, not to mention the chief of each generation.

Regardless of Penglai Lingwei, Qinghua Xuanyi, and Tianhe Mingxian, which of Lingyu, Lin Fan, Xuanxin, and Mingfang is weak?

These are the three upper realms of the Eastern Heaven Daoist School today. Their quantity and quality are enough to make them stand out from the rest of the heavens. Moreover, at the upper level of the Eastern Heaven Daoist School, there are a total of thirteen Pure Yang Dao Lords and two Dao Master Heavenly Venerables.

With absolute power sufficient to suppress destiny and a reliable and sufficient backbone of the upper three realms, the Eastern Heaven Daoist School can hold its own against other Xuanmen even when fighting alone.

The Immortal Lord of Longevity was well aware of this, yet he still allowed the Yin-Yang Orthodox Sect, Dao Yi Palace, and Yuan Yang Dao Sect to leave, choosing instead to let the Qiankun Dao Sect face the massive army of the Eastern Heaven Daoist School alone.

This was not because the Immortal Lord of Longevity was confident, but because it was a necessary sacrifice for the Qiankun Dao Sect.

The two Dao Lords of the Qiankun Dao Sect understood this, as did the Immortal Lord of Longevity. He even understood that when necessary, he would also be the one to sacrifice himself.

Even so, the Immortal Lord of Longevity still did it.

The Jing, Xuan, Feng, and Yuan generations all made sacrifices, and the hundreds of millions of Dao soldiers also made sacrifices.

Amidst shouts of battle, after the two sides' three True Monarchs had been fighting in chaos for a quarter of an hour, the Dao soldiers of the Eastern Heaven Daoist School and the Dao soldiers of the Qiankun Daoist School finally began to clash in battle formation.

Beitian Pass is now a veritable meat grinder, where millions of Dao soldiers are consumed on the battlefield every single moment, and countless Golden Core cultivators, Nascent Soul cultivators, and Divine Transformation cultivators disappear into the world every single moment.

But all of this pales in comparison to the fallen stars in the sky.

At this moment, above the northern region of Yanzhou, countless stars shone brightly. Each star represented a being in the Upper Three Realms, and each bright star represented thousands of years of merit and cultivation.

However, these geniuses, selected from among the myriad beings of the heavens and myriad realms by various Dao sects, whose fortune and opportunities were indispensable, consumed countless rare and precious materials of their sects and trod upon the corpses of countless cultivators to reach the Upper Three Realms today. These immortals, who are renowned throughout the heavens and myriad realms, are also constantly falling.

The sky was filled with bright life stars, and almost every breath, stars would dim and disappear. The meteor shower caused by the collapse of the life stars of the three upper realms never stopped. Even the great supernatural powers that blotted out the sky could not hide the meteor light of the life stars dimming and collapsing.

Before the Longevity Immortal Palace, the Longevity Immortal Lord coldly watched as the banners belonging to the Qiankun Dao Sect fell one by one on the battlefield, and as the Dao soldiers pieced together by his own sect, Kongdong, and Huayun turned into blood and filth in swathes, his Dao heart remained unmoved.

Even the fall of those three realm cultivators painstakingly nurtured by the sects could not shake the Dao heart of this Mahayana Immortal Lord.

Suddenly, "True Lord Jingkan," who had been lost in thought, blinked. Then, "True Lord Jingkan" shuddered and touched his neck, as if recalling something.

Immortal Lord Wanshou glanced at "True Lord Jingkan" and said coldly, "He personally went into battle, only to be slapped in the face by a junior from Penglai with the character 'Ling' in his name, and in the end, he was reduced to a human stick and beaten to ashes."

"Do you still have the nerve to come back?"

But "True Lord Jingkan" looked completely indifferent: "Why should I care about face?"

"Immortal Lord, have you ever seen a Heavenly Demon family that has any shame?"

Losing to Jiang Sheng was nothing to Jingkan Zhenjun.

Throughout its long and prolific lifespan, it encountered countless extraordinary talents, and not every fishing attempt was successful.

Sometimes fish ignore the bait, sometimes they even eat the bait and get caught in an empty shell, and some even go so far as to slap the bait after eating it.

As for the number of times he failed in the myriad worlds, there were countless examples. Many of the chosen ones from small worlds left an extremely deep impression on him.

But so what?
This being remains a being feared and dreaded by all the realms.

Because whether it was those with unwavering resolve who refused to take the bait, those with extraordinary talent capable of turning the tables on them, or those once-famous chosen ones of destiny, they all eventually faded away with time.
In the end, he was the winner every time, and he was the only one who survived to the end.

Admittedly, he failed countless times, but he also won on his last attempt.

He didn't take the temporary setback to heart at all. He even looked at Jiang Sheng, who stood with his sword and looked peerless, with great interest: "Such an outstanding person has not been seen for ten or twenty thousand years."

Upon hearing this, the Immortal Lord of Longevity snorted coldly and simply ignored him.

However, "True Lord Jingkan" said to himself, "Penglai Lingyuan is indeed a prodigy. He is too outstanding. If you can help me capture him, I will do you a favor, how about it?"

Immortal Lord Wanshou looked at the Taoist who stood alone amidst the chaos of battle. In the midst of this chaotic battle, Jiang Sheng was surprisingly at ease. Although all around him were cultivators from the Upper Three Realms fighting, and the True Lords of the Eastern Heaven Taoist School and the Qiankun Taoist School were already locked in a fierce battle, fighting to the death, they all seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally avoiding Jiang Sheng. As a result, a deserted area had formed around Jiang Sheng, and no one dared to approach him.

Seeing this, the Immortal Lord of Longevity had no choice but to say in a deep voice, "Indeed, he is a prodigy; having him will ensure a worry-free life for ten thousand years."

"Unfortunately, he was born in the Mountain and River Realm and fell into the hands of the Penglai Dao Sect."

"True Lord Jingkan" laughed and said, "It's no pity, it's no pity. Isn't that what makes it interesting?"

As he spoke, he and the Immortal Lord of Longevity looked at Jiang Sheng.

The surrounding area was a chaotic battle, with all sorts of supernatural powers and spells clashing and changing the color of the sky and earth several times. But Jiang Sheng was surrounded by peace and quiet, making him stand out like a crane among chickens. He was indeed conspicuous, but no one dared to approach him.

However, Jiang Sheng didn't care about these things.

At this moment, Jiang Sheng held his sword in his right hand, hovering above the clouds, seemingly observing the battle situation. However, Jiang Sheng's mind was focused on his left hand, which was hidden in his sleeve.

The sword strike, which seemed to sculpt the destiny of creation, unsurprisingly delivered Jin Yang to his complete liberation, along with the ink lotus rooted in Jin Yang's true spiritual fruit, which vanished into thin air.

Jiang Sheng had already anticipated the person who controlled the Golden Sun, a fact confirmed by the object in his left palm.

Jiang Sheng clenched his fist, sensing the two lotus seeds in his palm, his expression shifting uncertainly.

Just now, when the sword severed the life force of Jin Yang and Mo Lian, everything perished and was destroyed. However, these two lotus seeds survived. It is unknown whether this was due to their innate good fortune or the deliberate act of someone.
Sensing the two lifeless lotus seeds, Jiang Sheng frowned, wondering if that person had some kind of conspiracy. However, he sensed a righteous and powerful force approaching.

Before Jiang Sheng could turn around, Immortal Lord Xuanjing landed steadily beside him.

"Why aren't you coming back? Do you have a problem with this old man?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Sheng quickly replied, "This disciple has no objection to the Immortal Lord; it's just that this disciple is still recalling the battle we just fought."

Xuanjing Immortal Lord said softly, "You figured it out?"

Jiang Sheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Upon seeing this, Immortal Lord Xuanjing laughed and said, "I saw it too, and not only me, but many people saw it as well."

"They could tell that something was wrong with Jin Yang, that he seemed to have fallen into demonic possession, but they couldn't see what was hidden behind it."

“But you are different. You have been fighting with Jin Yang for so long, you must be able to test and see what is hidden behind Jin Yang.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Sheng asked, "Immortal Lord, in our Xuanmen War, who was that?"

Xuanjing Immortal Lord then said, "The great war of the Xuanmen is also a calamity for the Xuanmen. Since it is a calamity that should exist in all the heavens and myriad realms, then what is impossible?"

"Never forget, wherever there is war and chaos, wherever there is anger, ignorance, greed and rage, there is demons."

"Demons do not only exist in the depths of chaos, the dark side of the universe, or the filthy swamps of the underworld; wherever sentient beings are, there will be demons."

"Therefore, that which is neither dead nor indestructible, neither defiled nor pure, is everywhere and nowhere."

As Jiang Sheng listened to Xuanjing Immortal Lord's words, he gained a deeper understanding of that being, while his fear of him also lessened.

Seeing Jiang Sheng's relieved expression, Immortal Lord Xuanjing couldn't help but laugh and ask, "How did it feel to fight the Heavenly Demon?"

Jiang Sheng remained calm, showing no sign of fear: "That's all."

Immortal Lord Xuanjing was taken aback: "Is that all?"

Jiang Sheng replied, "In the Linghua Realm, I once slew seven Heavenly Demons to fight against the Supreme Heavenly Demon Lord; in the Shanhai Realm, I also faced billions of ghosts and gods and the Demon Lord behind them."

“That person, I’ve faced him before in the Mountain and Sea Realm.”

“I’ve already beaten that guy twice, so I say, it’s nothing special.”

Immortal Lord Xuanjing looked at Jiang Sheng in surprise, then burst into laughter: "Good! Good! Good!"

"The current leader of the Eastern Heavenly Daoist School should have such a demeanor."

“Mingxian is not as good as you, Qinghua’s Xuanyi, and your Lingwei from Penglai are either too steady and cautious or too balanced in terms of advantages and disadvantages. In terms of talent, aptitude, Dao heart and will, and Dao skills, they are not as good as you.”

“The pride of our Eastern Heaven Daoist family should have your fearless and indomitable spirit.”

"This calamity is your chance to rise on the wind."

As he spoke, something slid out from Xuanjing Immortal Lord's sleeve and was firmly grasped in his palm. Jiang Sheng looked closely and saw that it was a golden whip that was radiant with thousands of rays of light.

Xuanjing Immortal Lord patted Jiang Sheng on the shoulder and laughed, "You have won two consecutive battles for our Eastern Heaven Daoist School, boosting the morale of the enemy and seizing the opportunity to win."

"I can't let you youngsters keep working so hard. It's time for this old body of mine to get some exercise."

Before he finished speaking, Immortal Lord Xuanjing disappeared from Jiang Sheng's side. At the same time, Jiang Sheng and all the immortals of the upper three realms around him sensed a vast and majestic aura rising up. Then, the abyss-like and hell-like power roared across the sky like a raging storm.

For a moment, everyone was horrified and looked up to see a huge, radiant star, as bright as the sun, appearing between heaven and earth.

The bright stars shone and gave rise to a nine-colored canopy.

A magnificent pillar of destiny soared into the sky, manifesting as a nine-colored canopy of destiny, while rosy clouds and auspicious mists gathered, reflecting the true immortals.

At that moment, the world fell silent, and then a powerful voice boomed out.

"You brat, let this old man test your mettle!" (End of Chapter)
