Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

"Uncle-Master Yuanyi, Uncle-Master Zhaozhen, Uncle-Master Hongyi."

Jiang Sheng's projection was reflected on the jade pendant.

Looking at the radiant Jiang Sheng, Yuan Yi Zhenjun felt reassured: "You kid, so many of us have been trapped inside, and you're still outside. I really don't know what kind of luck you have."

"Now tell me, where are you right now?"

Jiang Sheng replied, "Don't worry, my fellow disciples. I have found a way to rescue everyone. I am currently in Yanzhou. Please wait for me."

Upon hearing this, True Lord Zhaozhen laughed and said, "It's alright, it's alright. We've already waited for eight or nine days, so a little longer won't make a difference."

To everyone's surprise, Jiang Sheng looked astonished upon hearing this: "How long? Eight or nine days?"

Jiang Sheng's expression alerted the three Fifth Tribulation True Monarchs that something was amiss. True Monarch Hongyi asked, "What's wrong? How much time has passed outside?"

Jiang Sheng said, "From the time my fellow disciples were taken away by Wan Shou, to the time I found a way to rescue everyone and rushed to Yanzhou, less than ten hours have passed!"

Less than ten hours?!
True Lord Yuanyi, True Lord Zhaozhen, and True Lord Hongyi exchanged glances and immediately realized that although the cauldron still contained the mountains, rivers, sun, and moon of Yanzhou, the flow of time was different from that of the real world.

"From the time we were taken in until Wan Shou unleashed his raging fire to burn us, and then Uncle Xuan Jing used his magic to protect us, it was only seven days."

"Then Deyou and his men arrived and fought us twice in two days. This was the ninth day."

“Lingyuan said that less than ten hours have passed outside, so the flow of time is still correct.”

Yuan Yi Zhenjun stroked his beard as he spoke, seemingly deep in thought.

True Lord Zhaozhen nodded as well: "One day inside this cauldron is equivalent to one hour outside. Considering Wanshou's cultivation level and the unique nature of his Mountain and River Sun and Moon Cauldron, this is normal."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Sheng recounted his encounter with Daoist Xuanming and Daoist Xuanming's evaluation of the Mountain and River Sun and Moon Cauldron, before finally asking, "Uncles, where is Immortal Lord Xuanjing?"

Immediately, True Lord Zhaozhen said, "Let's go find Uncle-Master Xuanjing together."

Before long, True Lord Yuanyi, True Lord Zhaozhen, and True Lord Hongyi brought Jiang Sheng's projection to the very top of the Radiant Golden Whip.

All around, endless thunder and fire raged, and a vast, chaotic aura pressed down from above. There was no sun, moon, or starlight, no spiritual energy, only large swirling, mottled grayness, as if time itself were flowing.

No one can say for sure how vast the world is within the Mountain and River Sun and Moon Cauldron. Even though this place is already 30 million miles above the ground, we still haven't been able to touch the top.

The Radiant Golden Whip was now thirty million miles long, reaching to the heavens and the earth. Its top was also a full hundred thousand miles in circumference. On this broad and flat divine treasure, the Immortal Lord Xuanjing, wearing the Sea-Suppressing Heavenly Crown and the Wave-Covering Star-Sea Robe, stood with his hands behind his back.

At this moment, Immortal Lord Xuanjing looked up at the mottled, dark, and surging sky, as if he were spying on something.

After the three True Monarchs Zhaozhen and Zhaozhen stopped, they bowed to Immortal Monarch Xuanjing and said, "Uncle-Master Xuanjing, Lingyuan has brought good news."

Upon hearing this, Immortal Lord Xuanjing turned around, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light: "Oh? What good news does Lingyuan bring?"

As True Lord Zhaozhen took out the communication jade pendant, Jiang Sheng's projection appeared and relayed the words that Dao Lord Xuanming had instructed. Unexpectedly, Immortal Lord Xuanjing fell silent after listening.

After a long pause, Immortal Lord Xuanjing finally said, "I understand what Senior Brother Xuanming means."

"However, although Senior Brother Xuanming's method is good, it only opens up a passage for us to leave."

"Although I am controlled by Wan Shou Xiao Er in this Mountain and River Sun and Moon Cauldron, Wan Shou Xiao Er cannot do anything to me for the time being."

"Once inside this Mountain and River Sun and Moon Cauldron, even a child named Wanshou cannot do whatever he wants, so I am not worried about anything else at the moment."

As he spoke, Immortal Lord Xuanjing pointed to the surging, mottled colors above: "I have been observing the mysteries of the Mountain and River Sun and Moon Cauldron these past few days."

"Instead of rushing out, we should thoroughly study the Mountain and River Sun and Moon Cauldron and seize it for our own use."

"After all, the Mountain and River Sun and Moon Cauldron, to some extent, represents the fortune of Yanzhou at this moment."

Jiang Sheng looked at Immortal Lord Xuanjing and was shocked: he thought his plan was bold enough, but he didn't expect Immortal Lord Xuanjing's idea to be even more amazing!
Xuanjing Immortal Lord actually thought of starting from the inside of the Mountain and River Sun and Moon Cauldron, eroding and modifying its spiritual restriction laws, and seizing the Mountain and River Sun and Moon Cauldron!

Jiang Sheng was alarmed because Xuanjing Immortal Lord's method was not a pipe dream, but a real possibility.

At least with the help of the Spirit Restriction and Void-Breaking Technique bestowed by Xuanming Daojun, it wouldn't be difficult to do anything to the Mountain and River Sun and Moon Cauldron.

“Lingyuan, don’t rush in. First, take a good look at the five regions of Yanzhou.”

"Observe and clearly identify the location of the Dao Palace, the spiritual veins, the mountains and rivers, the earth's energy veins, and the countless stars in Yanzhou. I will find a use for them."

"As for Senior Brother Xuanming's Spirit Restriction Breaking Technique, there's no rush to bring it in."

"Let's let that brat Wanshou be smug for a while."

"He's probably already feeling quite smug."

Xuanjing Immortal Lord spoke calmly, showing no anger at being trapped in the Mountain and River Sun and Moon Cauldron by Wanshou Immortal Lord. On the contrary, Xuanjing Immortal Lord even faintly showed a trace of pity for Wanshou Immortal Lord!
Jiang Sheng wondered if his perception was off, that Xuanjing Immortal Lord was actually pitying Wanshou Immortal Lord?

Could there be some hidden secret behind this?
In the present world of Yanzhou, there is the Immortal Palace of Longevity.

Within this magnificent celestial palace, atop towering peaks and countless pavilions, the Immortal Lord of Longevity sat cross-legged on a cloud bed, his five hearts facing the heavens, and suspended in his arms was the one-foot-sized Mountain, River, Sun, and Moon Cauldron.

At this moment, three flowers condensed and rose from the top of the Longevity Immortal Lord's head, forming a canopy of fortune. Behind his head, pure qi swirled and shone, transforming into a Dao wheel. Around his body, purple qi and immortal light flourished, and the five elements and five qi converged.

How magnificent! The aura of immortals is so serene and boundless, like the Great Vehicle.

Immortal Lord Wanshou formed hand seals and continuously refined the Mountain and River Sun and Moon Cauldron, urging this Mahayana Immortal Treasure to refine Immortal Lord Xuanjing and the other immortals of the Eastern Heaven Daoist School within it.

Suddenly, Lingfeng Zhenjun appeared outside the hall and said softly, "Immortal Lord, an old friend has come to see you." Wanshou Immortal Lord opened his eyes, his face full of displeasure: "Didn't I say that I am currently refining my magic and will not see anyone?"

"Ling Feng, are you deaf to my words, or do you have some other ulterior motive?"

In an instant, the overwhelming pressure of the Immortal Lord of Longevity descended like a raging storm, making it difficult for True Lord Lingfeng to breathe. Even though True Lord Lingfeng had already achieved the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top and the Five Qi Converging at the Origin, his bones were cracking and popping as if he was about to turn into a pile of flesh under the immense pressure.

Lingfeng Zhenjun was shocked; he had no idea what was wrong with Wanshou Xianjun.

Although the Immortal Lord of Longevity could get angry before, he had never used such methods to deal with his own people without a word.

Just as Lingfeng Zhenjun was about to be crushed by Wanshou Xianjun's oppressive aura, a strange yet elegant fragrance wafted over. Immediately afterward, Lingfeng Zhenjun felt his body and soul lighten, and Wanshou Xianjun's vast and unfathomable oppressive aura was instantly neutralized.

Immediately afterward, as the fragrance filled the air, a tall, alluring yet dignified and elegant figure slowly materialized: "Leave this place to me, Ling Feng, go and rest."

Lingfeng Zhenjun felt as if he had been granted a pardon, bowed once, and hurriedly left.

As True Monarch Lingfeng departed, the elegant and charming figure casually spoke: "So you really are a Mahayana Immortal Monarch of the Qiankun Dao Sect. You've only won a round, and you're already forgetting your old acquaintances."

"Wanshou, if I had known you were this kind of person, I probably would never have come to the Nine Provinces Realm."

Looking at the newcomer, at the fiery red palace dress with its long tail, at the jingling gold and silver pendants, and at that pure, beautiful, and stunning face, the Immortal Lord of Longevity's anger was inexplicably suppressed: "How come it's you?"

The newcomer was breathtakingly beautiful, with a head of black hair styled in a cloud-like bun adorned with nine gold hairpins, which then cascaded down her back like a waterfall. The gold hairpins were adorned with tassels and silver bells, shimmering and sparkling. Her fiery red palace dress was decorated with gold thread and nine silver tails, from which nine fox tails could be faintly seen spreading out, appearing and disappearing.

A fragrant aroma filled the air around the newcomer, and cherry blossom petals scattered everywhere. Several blue and red foxes circled around the newcomer's delicate, bare feet, acting intimately as if trying to please them.

Looking at the newcomer and their calm, expressionless expression, the Immortal Lord of Longevity suddenly felt a little guilty: "Why are you here?"

This stunningly beautiful fairy, who possesses both charm and elegance, yet also a captivating and alluring beauty, is none other than Daji, the goddess of the Tushan Holy Land in the Great Wilderness Realm.
Lady Daji casually picked up a red fox from beside her feet, held it in her arms, and teased it nonchalantly: "Why can't it be me?"

"Otherwise, who do you think it would be? That Mystic Lord?"

As she spoke, Lady Daji glanced at the Immortal Lord of Longevity: "There are some things that the Mystic Lord sees, but he won't tell you."

"After all, in his opinion, it doesn't matter who wins or loses between your Qiankun Dao Sect and the Dongtian Dao Family."

"That person is inherently chaotic, with no concept of right or wrong, and does everything according to their whims. Even if there is a great disaster, that person will not care."

"But I am, after all, an acquaintance of yours, and I owe you a favor. There are some things he won't tell you, but I have to tell you."

"Wanshou, why don't you put down that treasure in your hand first, and take a good look at your Dao heart and your soul?"

"Are you still the same person you used to be?"

Immortal Lord Wanshou was stunned for a moment, then looked at the Mountain and River Sun and Moon Cauldron in his arms, then at his hands, and then laughed: "Daji, what do you mean by that?"

"If I'm not myself, then who am I?"

Upon hearing this, Lady Daji sneered, "Are you you?"

"Then tell me, how did you manage to betray four allies in one fell swoop?"

"The Eastern Heaven Daoist School was already powerful. It was your Qiankun Daoist School that first united with the Tianyuan Holy School, and then won over the Dao Yi Palace, Yin Yang Zhengzong, Yuan Yang Daoist School, and Zhen Xiao Daoist School. This is how the situation of the six directions of the Great Thousand World and the eight Xuanmen Daoist Schools jointly resisting the Eastern Heaven was formed."

"Then it formed a surging momentum, which led to the support from the Nine Chambers Realm, the Three Realms Realm, and the Left God Realm."

"But look at what you've been doing all this time!"

"It was already a loose alliance, and now you've made things worse, causing everyone to drift apart. Who will your Qiankun Dao Sect rely on in the end?"

Upon hearing what Lady Daji had said, the Immortal Lord of Longevity's expression changed drastically: "Who told you about my plan?"

"This is a secret of my Qiankun Dao Sect!"

"Is it Ling Feng? Or Jing Xing? Or Jing Xiao?!"

As he spoke, the Immortal Lord of Longevity suddenly shook his head: "No, no, it's not them!"

"They are all loyal disciples of my Qiankun Dao Sect, willing to die for my Qiankun Dao Sect!"

"So, that leaves only Jing Kan!"

Having said that, the Immortal Lord of Longevity suddenly looked at Lady Daji: "Is it him?"

Daji looked at Wanshou Immortal Lord with pity in her eyes. At this moment, in Daji's celestial fox blue eyes, Wanshou Immortal Lord was surrounded by wisps of calamity energy.

The mottled calamity energy, some grayish-white and some pitch-black, continuously enveloped the Immortal Lord of Longevity, forming an airtight cocoon that tightly bound him. Some of the grayish-white calamity energy even entered the Immortal Lord of Longevity's body through his seven orifices.

From any angle, the Immortal Lord of Longevity exudes a mottled and decaying aura; this Mahayana Immortal Lord of the Qiankun Dao Sect is already facing his doom.

Lady Daji sighed and turned to leave: "When fate comes, no one can escape it."

"Pretend I was never here today, Your Majesty. I have already repaid your favor."

"I will not stay in this Nine Provinces Realm any longer."

"You'd better watch yourself." (End of Chapter)
