Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

"Destiny?"

The Immortal Lord of Longevity frowned as he watched Lady Daji depart. As the red figure completely disappeared, a hint of seriousness appeared in the Immortal Lord's eyes: What exactly did Daji mean?!

Realizing something was amiss, the Immortal Lord of Longevity immediately put down the Mountain and River Sun and Moon Cauldron and urged his divine sense to examine himself.

In an instant, as his gaze rose, the Immortal Lord of Longevity was able to survey his entire body, his muscles, bones, and dantian becoming clearly visible under the divine sense of the Great Ascension Immortal Lord.

The Immortal Lord of Longevity carefully examined his physical body. Whether it was his internal organs, meridians, or dantian, there was nothing unusual. Everything in his body was still under his control.

What's wrong with this?
Then, the Immortal Lord Wanshou focused his mind and calmed his heart, observing his Dao heart. He still saw no difference in his Dao heart; it was clear and pure, just like the original state.

However, it was precisely this introspection of his Dao heart that made Wanshou Immortal Lord realize that something was wrong: his Dao heart was too clear, to the point that even Wanshou Immortal Lord himself did not quite believe in himself.

At this moment, Lady Daji's words rang in the ears of the Immortal Lord of Longevity: "Take a good look at your soul, take a good look at your Dao heart!"

Now that my Dao heart is like this, what about my soul?

The true spirit of the Immortal Lord of Longevity suddenly emerged from his physical body and looked at it. He saw that the body was filled with pure and mysterious energy. The three flowers on his head and the five energies in his chest were as they always were, and the Dao wheel hanging high behind his head was also as clear and flawless as ever.

From any angle, his physical body was perfectly fine. The Immortal Lord of Longevity breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously looked down at his true spirit, only to find that it was somewhat blurry and seemed to be twisted and strange.

A sense of foreboding welled up in his heart, and the Immortal Lord of Longevity immediately sat down cross-legged and began to practice his magic.

In all the myriad realms, all sentient beings possess a soul, which is the master of the physical body.

They are called the three souls and the seven spirits.

The three souls are separated from the heavens and earth, existing as pure and impure, yin and yang. Only the vital soul remains in the body, presiding over the physical body, which is the foundation.

The seven souls are the seven emotions and six desires of sentient beings. They are both pure and impure, just as yin and yang merge and return to their origin, which is the root.

The three souls and seven spirits are the foundation of all sentient beings. Through the tempering of the souls and spirits, the true spirit is born. Then, the true spirit resides in the central palace and governs the entire body, controlling the movement of the body and upholding the Dao.

For cultivators in the upper three realms, the most important things are nothing more than the three: life soul, true spirit, and Dao fruit.

Among them, the True Spirit is the most revered being, nurtured by the life soul and the Dao Fruit.

Realizing that there might be a problem with his true spirit, even the Immortal Lord of Longevity couldn't help but feel a ripple in his mind. He used his supernatural powers to forcibly separate his life soul from his true spirit for a moment.

In that instant, the Immortal Lord of Longevity felt a great shock to his mind and a chill run through his body!

From the perspective of the Immortal Lord of Longevity's soul, both his physical body and true spirit were already covered with wisps of decaying aura.

The dense, grayish aura, like spider silk, bound his hands and feet, seeped into his body, and even entered his consciousness, beginning to affect his mind and interfere with his actions.

Especially in the area between his eyebrows and in his sea of ​​consciousness, it was completely dark. The hazy gray-white aura even entangled his eyes, making it impossible for him to see anything clearly!
The Immortal Lord of Longevity recognized this aura of decay; it was the most obvious calamity aura during a great tribulation!

Unbeknownst to him, he had already been enveloped by the aura of calamity!

Realizing this, the Immortal Lord of Longevity felt a chill in his heart and couldn't help but laugh at himself, "No wonder, no wonder I didn't see the slightest problem when I used my true spirit to examine myself and monitor my Dao heart and sea of ​​consciousness."

"It turns out that my true spirit had long been bewitched by the calamity energy. If it weren't for this forced separation of my life soul, I probably wouldn't have been able to discover it at all!"

After thinking it through, the Immortal Lord of Longevity immediately understood what Lady Daji meant by "fate."

Recalling all that he had done before, Wanshou Immortal Lord immediately realized his mistake upon regaining consciousness. Just thinking about the things he had done in such a vacillating manner these past few days, Wanshou Immortal Lord wished he could slap himself to death!

"What have I been doing all this time?!"

"This is utterly absurd, completely absurd!"

"First, they let the Eastern Heaven Daoist Clan advance, using the Four Alliances as cannon fodder. Then, they ignored the sacrifices of their sects and deliberately let the Eastern Heaven Daoist Clan advance to their doorstep."

"In the end, so many disciples of the upper three realms were sacrificed just to put the Eastern Heaven Daoist family into the Mountain and River Sun and Moon Cauldron?"

"They even forced the Tianyuan Holy Sect, Yin Yang Orthodox Sect, Yuan Yang Dao Sect, and Dao Yi Palace to fight the Eastern Heaven Daoist School in the Mountain and River Sun and Moon Cauldron?!"

Each and every single one of these matters seems fine on its own, but when put together, how could the Immortal Lord of Longevity not realize that he had piled up a series of mistakes, leading to this unimaginable situation?
The Qiankun Dao Sect's carefully cultivated favorable situation is now gone. The sect's vast resources accumulated over ten thousand years in Yanzhou and its elite forces at the Upper Three Realms have all been wasted. The plan to use Yanzhou as a battlefield to annihilate the Eastern Heaven Daoist School has also failed. Even its allies are starting to distance themselves from the sect.

And this was something I actually did!
The Immortal Lord of Longevity couldn't help but chuckle at the thought: "Hehe."

"It is often said that when calamity lingers, some people whose lives are about to end often make all sorts of incomprehensible decisions, ruining a promising situation in an instant."

"At first I didn't believe it, thinking it was just the words of those who failed in their calamities to defend themselves, but today it seems that what they said is true, truly true!"

Sighing, Immortal Lord Wanshou immediately decided to salvage the situation. After all, he was the person in charge of the Qiankun Dao Sect in Yanzhou. As long as he remained clear-headed, the various wrong decisions he had made in the past were not irreparable!

"Now that I am beset by calamity, I must have Daji to help me!"

Subconsciously, the Immortal Lord of Longevity summoned the Mountain and River Sun and Moon Cauldron, allowing his Mahayana Immortal Treasure to suppress his own calamity aura and maintain his clarity of mind for a period of time.

In an instant, the Mountain and River Sun and Moon Cauldron swelled into a size of three zhang (approximately 13 meters) in mid-air, hovering three chi (approximately 1.5 meters) above the head of the Longevity Immortal Lord. The immortal marks and Dao seals imprinted on this bronze cauldron with four legs and two handles, along with the spiritual restrictions and magical barriers, all burst forth with immortal light and profound energy. Wisps of magnificent energy descended to suppress the calamity energy for the Longevity Immortal Lord.

At the same time, the Immortal Lord of Longevity shouted loudly, "Ling Feng!"

"Ling Feng!" Immortal Lord Wanshou was extremely anxious at this moment. He desperately wanted True Lord Ling Feng to bring back Lady Daji for him.

"Immortal Lord, Ling Feng has arrived."

Upon hearing the call of the Immortal Lord of Longevity, True Lord Lingfeng hurriedly entered the hall.

Immortal Lord Wanshou nodded: "Yes, get up."

Lingfeng Zhenjun rose and looked over, only to see Wanshou Xianjun maintaining the posture of facing the sky with his five hearts facing the heavens. The Mountain and River Sun and Moon Cauldron was hanging high above his head, scattering thousands of immortal radiance and profound energy. With each breath of Wanshou Xianjun, the magnificent and vast Mahayana aura spread out, causing Lingfeng Zhenjun to gasp for breath: his immortal lord was becoming more and more unfathomable.

Subconsciously, True Monarch Lingfeng asked, "Immortal Lord, what brings you here, Lingfeng?"

The Immortal Lord of Longevity snorted coldly: "You let Daji in this time, disturbing my peaceful cultivation, but I don't blame you."

"Pass down the order: have Jingxing and Jingxiao keep a close watch on the Longevity Immortal Palace and forbid anyone from disturbing my cultivation!"

"This time, I will definitely refine that old man Xuan Jing and those three cultivators from the Eastern Heaven Daoist sect into Nine-Turn Golden Pills!"

Lingfeng Zhenjun, hearing Wanshou Xianjun's unquestionable words, was somewhat troubled: "Immortal Lord, Huari Zhenjun and Xingyue Zhenjun from Daoyi Palace will be arriving soon. Who will receive these two Fifth Tribulation Zhenjuns?"

"Moreover, Immortal Lord, the power of Tianyuan Holy Sect, Yin Yang Orthodox Sect, Yuan Yang Dao Sect and Dao Yi Palace is currently in the Mountain and River Sun and Moon Cauldron. If the Mahayana Immortal Lords of these families arrive, we will have no way to explain ourselves."

Unexpectedly, when Lingfeng Zhenjun said this, Wanshou Xianjun scoffed, "They haven't arrived yet, have they?"

"One day in the world is twelve days in the cauldron. As long as Deyou, Liuyang, and Guanyuan do their best, they can deplete most of the power of the Eastern Heaven Daoist School in just a few days."

"We'll release them then."

Seeing Ling Feng Zhenjun's troubled expression, Wan Shou Xianjun coldly snorted, "Ling Feng!"

"You must understand, they are indeed here to help us, but aren't they also using my Qiankun Dao Sect as cannon fodder?"

"If we start a war in the Nine Provinces, even if we destroy it, it will only ruin the foundation of my Qiankun Dao Sect. If we win, we can seize the fortune and resources of the Eastern Heaven Daoist School. Regardless of victory or defeat, what loss could they possibly suffer?"

"This time, their main forces have entered my Nine Provinces Realm. Whether they came to help my Qiankun Dao Sect or with the intention of turning the tables, who can say for sure?"

"If we don't clean them up beforehand, how can we expect them to work wholeheartedly for my Qiankun Dao Sect?"

"Ling Feng, you must know that to repel external threats, you must first secure internal stability."

At this moment, the power of the Immortal Lord of Longevity became even more terrifying. The sharp and profound pressure almost made True Lord Lingfeng unable to breathe. He barely managed to look up at the Immortal Lord sitting high on the cloud bed. Looking at the colorful rainbows and auspicious clouds around him, True Lord Lingfeng seemed to see a deep and condensed black mist.

The next moment, the Immortal Lord of Longevity suddenly said, "Forget it, go to the Mountain and River Sun and Moon Cauldron and be my supervisor. Tell Deyou and the others not to delay. As for guarding the Immortal Palace of Longevity, I will personally instruct Jingxing and Jingxiao."

Before Lingfeng Zhenjun could speak, a tremendous suction force suddenly erupted from the Mountain and River Sun and Moon Cauldron, which was three feet above the head of Wanshou Immortal Lord, directly sucking Lingfeng Zhenjun into it.

Immediately afterward, the Immortal Lord of Longevity snorted coldly and continued to shout, "Jing Xing! Jing Xiao!"

"Come quickly!"

Soon, True Lord Jingxing and True Lord Jingxiao rushed over. They were given some instructions by Immortal Lord Wanshou, and then left the main hall to guard this huge immortal building complex for Immortal Lord Wanshou.

Meanwhile, the main gate of the Longevity Immortal Palace slowly closed.

For a moment, the light in the main hall was dim, with only a few candles flickering, which made the tall and majestic figure in the depths of the hall appear even more imposing.

Wearing a purple-gold crown and a crimson robe, the Immortal Lord of Longevity sat cross-legged on a cloud bed, his eyes slightly closed, making hand seals, his face cold and calm.

He showed neither sorrow nor joy, his voice calm and indifferent: "Fate?"

"What fate!"

"There is no such thing as a predetermined fate!"

"The Mountain and River Dao Sect has flourished for forty thousand years. This great calamity is our Qiankun Dao Sect's time to ride the wind and rule the world!"

At the same time, above the Longevity Immortal Palace, the figure of "True Lord Jingkan" hovered between reality and illusion, hidden in the mist, smiling as he looked at the Longevity Immortal Lord in the Longevity Immortal Palace, as if his every move was under his watchful eye.

"What a shame, what a shame."

"Although he discovered that he was entangled in a calamity, he forgot Daji's warning."

"The last hope of turning the tide has been squandered by ourselves. No wonder His Majesty only sent me to cause trouble and delay things, but didn't mention helping the Qiankun Dao Sect succeed."

"It seems that even if those two don't show up, the Qiankun Dao Sect has absolutely no chance of winning this calamity, based solely on their performance."

As he spoke, he looked regretful and said, "To be honest, I only managed to get Jin Yang and Jing Kan to play with, but it's a pity that once Wan Shou is afflicted by the calamity, there won't be such a good opportunity again."

The more he spoke, the more he seemed to want to say more. He smacked his lips and let out a sigh that was neither a smile nor a laugh.

"It really is"

"What a pity, what a pity." (End of Chapter)
