Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

fire!
Endless fire!

The raging flames surged in from all directions, and all the spiritual energy in the world turned into fuel, making the fire burn extremely fiercely.

All sorts of supernatural powers and spells were instantly melted away like weeds under the flames. Some even used magical artifacts to resist the raging fire, but in the end, even the magical artifacts were burned to ashes.

In a moment of carelessness, dozens of formations of the hundreds of millions of Daoist soldiers deployed by the Eastern Heavenly Daoists were burned away; in a moment of negligence, several True Lords had their magical treasures and robes burned away; even the celestial magic boats could not escape the pursuit of the raging fire, and several magic boats fell and were destroyed by flames.
As for the immortals of the three upper realms of the Eastern Heavenly Daoist sect, those with slightly weaker cultivation felt as if their blood and magical power were about to evaporate, and their internal organs were being roasted, even if they were far away.

"Watch out! This is no ordinary fire! Quickly hide behind us!"

As Yuan Yi Zhenjun spoke, he stepped forward, raising the Great Sun Golden Mace in his hand to form a fiery barrier that blocked the surging crimson flames.

Immediately afterwards, the four Fifth Tribulation True Lords—Hongyi True Lord, Zhaozhen True Lord, Zhaoye True Lord, and Zhaohong True Lord—also stepped forward, each occupying a direction and using their vast magical power to create a barrier and stop the spread of the raging fire.

Meanwhile, True Lord Yuming, True Lord Huayu, True Lord Longquan, and other True Lords of the Combined Realm hurriedly took away the junior cultivators and Dao soldiers and spirit beasts from their respective families and placed them under the protection of True Lord Wujie.

The disciples of various sects hurriedly steered their intact magic boats to avoid the flames from all sides, following behind a group of True Monarchs of the Upper Three Realms.

For a time, the entire Eastern Heaven Daoist sect was trying their best to avoid the endless sea of ​​fire. From the Five Tribulations True Monarchs down to their disciples and followers, most were anxious and panicked, and only a few were able to remain calm.

Amidst the chaos, Immortal Lord Xuanjing showed little anger. Instead, he observed the surrounding world with interest, looking at the series of Dao inscription nodes and the magical and spiritual restrictions circulating throughout the heavens. He couldn't help but nod, "Excellent methods, excellent spirit. It seems I underestimated that brat Wanshou."

As they were talking, True Lord Zhaozhen said, "Uncle-Master Xuanjing, we are now trapped in Wanshou's trap. Please make a decision quickly. We can still hold on, but the younger generation may not be able to."

As True Lord Zhaozhen said, as a True Lord of the Five Tribulations, the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top represents the immortality of the soul, and the Five Qi Converging at the Origin represents the ceaseless creation. It can be said that the True Lord of the Five Tribulations has a continuous source of magical power and immortality within his body, which does not need to be sought from the outside and forms its own world.

With such cultivation levels, it wouldn't be difficult for them to fight for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

However, for other True Monarchs who had not yet completed the Five Elements Reincarnation and those True Monarchs who had refined their Void, this raging fire not only consumed their magical power, but also scorched their minds and spirits.

Currently, several True Lords who lack sufficient cultivation appear unharmed on the surface, but their minds and spirits have been almost completely scorched away, leaving only empty shells.

Seeing this, Immortal Lord Xuanjing snorted coldly: "What's the panic?!"

"It's just a few tricks that Wan Shou used. I can handle it. After all, these tricks don't belong to Wan Shou."

As he spoke, he looked at the raging flames in all directions and the heavenly fire falling from the sky. Xuanjing Immortal Lord made a hand seal, and thousands of rays of light shone on the Haoguang Xuanjin Whip.

"The three mystical energies that pacify the heavens, the fivefold might that calm the seas."

"The law urges on the world, and a single thought can quell the storm."

"The Law to Pacify Heaven and Seas - Its Whip Shakes the Sky and Reach the Universe!"

Before he finished speaking, three or five mysterious lights shone brightly around Immortal Lord Xuanjing, with clear and rippling rosy clouds and auspicious mists, evolving into various mysterious lights and colors.

Immediately afterwards, Immortal Lord Xuanjing gave a gentle push, and the Radiant Golden Whip shot into the sky and disappeared into the heavenly fire and clouds. The next moment, accompanied by a huge black shadow that blotted out the sky, the Radiant Golden Whip, which had expanded to be thirty million miles long, crashed down.

In an instant, the earth shook and the mountains trembled. The clouds in the sky were dispersed by the vast gale, and the raging fire was also dispersed and annihilated.

In the blink of an eye, centered on the spot where the radiant golden whip struck, both the raging fire that consumed immortals and gods and the heavenly flames that destroyed the magic boat began to dissipate, until they finally stopped at a distance of thirty million miles.

The people of the Eastern Heavenly Daoist sect looked up and saw a layer of radiant light supported by the Radiant Light Golden Whip, protecting this safe world that spanned thirty million miles in all directions.

For a moment, all the immortals of the Eastern Heavenly Daoist sect cheered with joy. Whether it was the younger generation like Lingwei, Xuanyi, and Mingxian, or the core members of the Integration Realm like Yuming Zhenjun, Huayu Zhenjun, and Longquan Zhenjun, they all breathed a long sigh of relief.

Even the Five Tribulations True Lords, such as Yuanyi True Lord, Hongyi True Lord, and Zhaozhen True Lord, felt reassured and retreated to the side of Xuanjing Immortal Lord.

"Uncle-Master Xuanjing, in the end, we still owe a great debt to you."

"Yes, if it weren't for Uncle-Master Xuanjing's intervention, we would probably have perished in the Longevity Mountain and River Sun and Moon Cauldron today."

"Is this really the Mountain and River Sun and Moon Cauldron? Why does it feel somewhat familiar?"

Several Fifth Tribulation True Monarchs discussed in hushed tones. Immortal Monarch Xuanjing snorted and said with disdain, "With me here, what are you brats afraid of?"

"This is indeed the Mountain and River Sun and Moon Cauldron of Wan Shou Xiao Er, but what is contained inside is also the real Yan Zhou Heaven and Earth."

“That brat Wanshou has put the entire Yanzhou into his Mountain and River Sun and Moon Cauldron. This time, I was caught off guard and fell into his trap. If word gets out, I’m afraid I’ll lose face.”

As he spoke, Immortal Lord Xuanjing rose into the air and sat cross-legged on top of the Radiant Golden Whip, saying loudly, "I want to comprehend the rules of the Yan State within the Mountain and River Sun and Moon Cauldron. You brats, do not disturb me. You can deal with whatever you want on your own."

True Lord Yuanyi, True Lord Hongyi, and True Lord Zhaozhen exchanged glances and then arranged for their respective disciples to set up defensive formations. Their every move was under the watchful eye of Immortal Lord Wanshou, and if they didn't make sufficient preparations, they were bound to encounter some mishaps.

"Fellow Daoists, look, with Uncle-Master Xuanjing's Radiant Golden Whip as the center, the area within a radius of thirty million miles is still safe."

“Although it’s relatively safe for now, we can’t be complacent. My idea is to rely on Uncle-Master Xuanjing’s Radiant Golden Whip and our magic boats to set up layers of defense. All the defensive formations on the magic boats must be activated to form a sequential defense.” True Monarch Yuanyi said his idea, and the group of Fifth Tribulation True Monarchs around him nodded in agreement.

After thinking for a moment, True Lord Zhaozhen added, "We have Dharma boats in the air, but we can't be idle on the ground either. We should mobilize all the Dao soldiers to build city walls and inscribe magic arrays. In this way, heaven and earth will complement each other, and the inside and outside will be interlocked, making it more secure."

Hongyi Zhenjun said, "That's feasible, let's do it that way."

As the Five Tribulations True Monarchs made their decision, hundreds of millions of Dao soldiers were mobilized to build fortifications and inscribe magic arrays on the ground.

Meanwhile, the upper three realms of each sect were not idle either. The Shi and Yu generations of Penglai Dao Sect, the Lan and Hua generations of Qinghua Dao Sect, and the Cang and Long generations of Tianhe Dao Sect, as the backbone of the Integration Realm, began to focus on the integration of magic arrays and the engraving and communication of spiritual and magical restrictions between heaven and earth.

Meanwhile, the younger generation, such as Lingwei, Mingxian, and Xuanyi, were also busy, each responsible for a section of the city gate formation. Xuyuanzi, Kongzhen, Shaobai Mingjun, Sihai Zhenjun, Zhuhuan Yaojun, Suqin Xianzi, and others were doing the same.

For a moment, within the protective glow of the Radiant Golden Whip, a bustling scene unfolded, making the Immortal Lord of Longevity's eyelids twitch.

Lingfeng Zhenjun said, "Immortal Lord, the fire of heaven and earth in Yanzhou cannot burn away Xuanjing's methods."

The Immortal Lord of Longevity snorted coldly: "I saw it."

"Tell Deyou of Tianyuan Holy Sect, Liuyang of Yin-Yang Orthodox Sect, and Guanyuan of Yuanyang Dao Sect that I have trapped all the people of Shanhe Dao Sect in the Shanhe Sun and Moon Cauldron. Now it's their turn to exert their strength."

Jingxing Zhenjun asked, "Immortal Lord, are they willing to lend a hand?"

The "Jingkan True Lord" standing to the side laughed and said, "How many Upper Three Realms and how many true disciples did my Qiankun Dao Sect sacrifice to finally wipe out all the elites of the Eastern Heaven Daoist School? Why should they just stand by and watch?"

"Moreover, they are also inside the Mountain and River Sun and Moon Cauldron, so they have no choice but to contribute."

Hearing the words of "True Lord Jingkan", both Jingxing and Jingxiao felt a chill in their hearts.

Soon, the Tianyuan Holy Sect, Yin Yang Orthodox Sect, and Yuan Yang Dao Sect, which were originally responsible for defending the East Heavenly Pass, South Heavenly Pass, and West Heavenly Pass respectively, received the message from the Qiankun Dao Sect.

In the Immortal Palace of the Yin-Yang Orthodox School, Zhang Ri smashed his cup: "I wonder why Wan Shou was so kind as to let us guard the east, west, and south respectively, while they themselves went to deal with the Eastern Heaven Daoist School."

So that's what you were thinking!

"First, they used a bunch of cannon fodder to lure the Eastern Heavenly Daoist family into a trap, and then, under the pretext that their own sacrifices were too great, they forced us to engage in a war of attrition with the Eastern Heavenly Daoist family!"

"Wan Shou has really made a brilliant plan!"

"The Eastern Heavenly Daoists and we have all become his prey!"

Liu Yang Zhenjun glanced at Zhang Ri Zhenjun, a True Lord of Dao Yi Palace, and then looked at Liu Yue Zhenjun beside him. He then rubbed his temples and said, "Even if we know Wan Shou's plan, there's nothing we can do right now."

"The Eastern Heaven Daoists were indeed put into the Mountain and River Sun and Moon Cauldron by him, but we are also inside the cauldron."

"Liuyue, contact Fellow Daoist Guanyuan and Fellow Daoist Deyou, and then choose a meeting point."

Liuyue Zhenjun nodded and immediately contacted Guanyuan Zhenjun of Yuanyang Daozong and Deyou Zhenjun of Tianyuan Shengzong. Before long, the group agreed on a location and began to gather its army to advance.

In just seven days, the banners of the Tianyuan Holy Sect, Yin Yang Orthodox Sect, Yuan Yang Dao Sect, and Dao Yi Palace appeared outside the North Heaven Pass.

Upon discovering this, Xuan Yi immediately said, "Notify all senior disciples and uncles that the armies of the Tianyuan Holy Sect, Yin Yang Orthodox Sect, Yuan Yang Dao Sect, and Dao Yi Palace are approaching!"

Immediately, True Lord Yuanyi, True Lord Zhaozhen, and True Lord Hongyi, along with the combined True Lords of the three families, rushed to this place. As soon as the True Lords took their positions, they saw a large number of banners outside the barrier of light.

Enormous magic boats converged from all directions. As the boats came to a stop, countless Dao soldiers disembarked and quickly formed ranks on the ground, creating a vast sea of ​​Dao soldiers that stretched as far as the eye could see.

At this moment, a large number of war magic weapons were pushed out at the front of the four Daoist soldiers. The True Lords of the Refining Sun, Gathering Moon, Lesser Yang, Lesser Yin, Righteous Purity, and Golden Star appeared. And in the sky, the banners of the four Five Tribulations True Lords, Virtue-Protecting True Lord, Glazed Sun True Lord, Glazed Moon True Lord, and Observing Wall True Lord, were already raised.

Behind the four Five Tribulations True Lords are the core members of the four Daoist sects: Illuminating Darkness True Lord, Illuminating Silence True Lord, Holding the Sun True Lord, Grasping the Moon True Lord, Heavenly Sun True Lord, Heavenly Moon True Lord, Flowing Night True Lord, and Observing the Moon True Lord.

At this moment, the people of the Eastern Heavenly Daoist Sect looked out at the barrier of light, where banners stood in rows, magic boats were like clouds, and immortals were like rain. Such a huge military formation clearly indicated that the Heavenly Origin Holy Sect and their main forces had come out.

Deyou Zhenjun glanced at Zhaozhen Zhenjun opposite him, then raised his hand in a gesture.

In an instant, one after another magic ships stretched out. On those enormous magic ships, which were hundreds of thousands or even millions of miles long, cannons of hundreds or thousands of feet in size began to charge up. Some of the particularly huge main cannons, which were tens of thousands of feet long, even began to draw on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, causing the surrounding space to distort.

But then True Lord Deyou said, "All Dharma boats, fire your cannons at once, and test the depth of the Eastern Heaven Daoist school."

In an instant, thousands of naval cannons roared, and streaks of light hundreds of feet thick shot out simultaneously, instantly blotting out the sky and shaking the heavens.

Listening to the roar of the ship's cannons and watching the dense bursts of light, True Lord Deyou said softly, "Since you're here, you should at least say hello."

"Let's see how the Eastern Heavenly Daoists react." (End of Chapter)
