Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

"The ups and downs of calamities are changes in the way of Heaven."

"Its laws are chaotic and rarely understood, yet they are all contained within the Dao."

"Therefore, those who are of little virtue but hold high positions, or those who are of little wisdom but have great ambitions, will inevitably suffer calamity."

Above Yanzhou, amidst the chaotic and ethereal realm, a handsome and noble young master smiled, his jade-faced folding fan waving intentionally or unintentionally, as if he were laughing, yet also expressing regret.

Opposite this noble young man, a young and handsome Taoist priest was frowning as he looked at the noble young man in front of him.

The Taoist priest wore a bamboo crown and a blue hemp robe, looking simple and unassuming, as if he were too weak to even kill a chicken.

"Your Excellency came to Yanzhou without a word. Now that you have been so impolite, I really don't know how to explain this to my senior brother."

The handsome young man looked at the seemingly thin and delicate Taoist priest in front of him, whose words and actions carried an air of fragility, and a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.

In his eyes, this seemingly weak and powerless Taoist priest wore a bamboo crown that shone brightly, a gold-plated and jade-inlaid crown of Heaven and Earth, and a blue linen robe that shone with divine light, a Yangtai brocade robe with a great sun dragon pattern.

Above the Taoist's head, where the Three Flowers Gathered, a small patch of auspicious clouds floated erratically, adorned with golden lamps and silver cups, and floating azure sword seals; behind the Taoist's head, the three Daoist wheels of azure, gold, and purple rotated endlessly, the light of creation, the brilliance of merit, and the radiance of fortune reflecting each other, transforming into a triple crown hanging high.

Then I saw the Taoist surrounded by three flowers, five energies rotating, reflecting the brilliance of nine colors, emitting twelve rays of light, the Taoist charm was ethereal, the profound meaning was full of meaning, there was the sound of the Great Dao bell and chime, and the music of myriad things.

He was no ordinary Taoist; he was a Pure Yang Venerable above the Ninth Realm.

In the eyes of the handsome young man, the refined Taoist was extraordinary, but in the eyes of the refined Taoist, how could this handsome young man be an ordinary person?
He wore a bright silver auspicious cloud crown, a silver-white crane feather robe, a bright pearl and green jade belt, and gold-threaded soap horn boots.

With auspicious clouds floating above his head, a crown hanging behind his head, and mysterious light shining around him, the Daoist rhyme rising and falling, the extraordinary phenomenon of the sky full of rosy clouds and auspicious clouds celebrating, and the laws of the Great Dao resounding and being born, what else could it be but the Pure Yang Dao Lord?
"It is said: The Great Sun Taiyuan Shen is in perfect harmony, the Taiyi Jade True Daoist is revered."

"Kunhe Daojun, why pretend to be wronged like this?"

The handsome young man chuckled lightly, and then revealed the origin of the person in one sentence: "Qiankun Dao Sect, Taiyi Yuzhen Yangtai Shenyuan Kunhe Dao Lord!"

Upon hearing this, Kunhe Daojun's expression also turned cold: "Then, Xuanming Daojun, could you please state what brings you to the territory of my Qiankun Dao Sect?"

Penglai Dao Sect, Taiyi Yuzhen Wuxiang Langxiao Xuanming Daojun!
Xuanming Daojun, who had just bestowed upon Jiang Sheng the method to break the restriction, immediately encountered Kunhe Daojun of Qiankun Daozong above the chaos of Yanzhou.

Whether this was intentional or unintentional, only Xuanming Daojun himself knows for sure.

Penglai Dao Sect, Qiankun Dao Sect.

Daojun Xuanming, Daojun Kunhe.

The two Pure Yang Holy Lands, the Xuanmen Dao Sect, and their Pure Yang disciples met in the chaotic star sea above Yanzhou in the Nine Provinces Realm. There was no rosy light or auspicious mist, nor did any heavenly flowers or golden lotuses appear. All that was present was the vast and mighty power surging in the boundless chaos.

If someone could see this chaotic starry sea at this moment, they would see two enormous suns, each hundreds of millions of miles in size, hanging high in the starry sea, releasing their magnificent power.

These two massive sun-shaped formations, each spanning hundreds of millions of miles, are actually just two formless, immeasurably majestic figures with Dao wheels hanging behind their heads.

This shows just how enormous these two towering figures are, and how much power they possess to manipulate destiny and reverse the course of events.

However, all these illusory forms are invisible in the real world. Even the seven-foot-tall human bodies manifested by the two Pure Yang Dao Lords are not visible to anyone below the Pure Yang realm unless the two Dao Lords intend to do so.

The Pure Yang is invisible, immeasurable, and inconceivable; it is the supreme sage of Pure Yang, the ruler of the Great Dao.

"Xuanming, you have crossed the line."

As soon as Kunhe Daojun finished speaking, an invisible chasm appeared in front of Kunhe Daojun and Xuanming Daojun.

The chaotic energy surged and churned, and the invisible chasm widened, constantly pushing Xuanming Daojun out of the Yanzhou realm from between heaven and earth, from within the chaos, from the realm of reality and illusion.

In an instant, a gentle breeze rose between heaven and earth in Yanzhou, and an invisible wind also surged within the chaos and illusion.

However, these subtle ripples, in the blink of an eye, transformed into a surging, turbulent wave before the eyes of the Xuanming Daojun, driven by the words of the Kunhe Daojun, crashing down upon the Xuanming Daojun.

Seeing this, Daoist Xuanming chuckled and said, "Oh?"

"But I don't want to leave."

I don't want to leave!
As the words "Xuanming Daojun" fell, his figure became ethereal and uncertain. Although the present world had been repelled from Yanzhou by the current, and the storms in the chaos and the real world had swept him away, Xuanming Daojun's figure moved, but his aura remained fixed in place without moving.

As the invisible and intangible winds swept by, a dashing young man emerged from the light and appeared to the left of Kunhe Daojun.

He wore a silver headband and a white robe, exuding confidence and elegance. He was not the Xuanming of the present, but the Xuanming of the past.

As the figure of Xuanming Daojun squeezed out, he looked around, then smiled and cupped his hands in greeting to Kunhe Daojun: "Xuanming greets Brother Kunhe."

Immediately afterward, before Kunhe Daojun could speak, the light and shadow on his right suddenly twisted, and a somewhat staggering Daoist figure fell from it. He wore a green crown and a Daoist robe, with bright eyes and a peaceful aura.

It is neither the present enlightenment nor the past enlightenment, but the future enlightenment.

The figure of Xuanming Daojun hurriedly straightened his clothes, dusted off the dust, and then bowed to Kunhe Daojun: "Xuanming greets fellow Daoist Kunhe."

The mysteries of the past and the mysteries of the future have both manifested.

Immediately afterwards, where Xuanming Daojun's aura was pinned, that aura suddenly solidified, and then, as time flowed by, Xuanming Daojun's physical form, adorned with a silver crown and brocade robe, emerged into the mortal world.

Xuanming Daojun bowed slightly to Kunhe Daojun: "Fellow Daoist, why be so angry?" "It's alright, this humble Daoist will recite a scripture and perform a ritual for you, shall we?"

Having said that, Xuanming Daojun disregarded whether Kunhe Daojun agreed or not, and sat down cross-legged, closing his eyes to chant scriptures and perform rituals.

The scripture is the true scripture of the Penglai Daoist sect, namely the "Langxiao Xuanming Daojun's Explanation of the Gengjin Wuxiang Scripture".

The law is also the true law of the Mysterious Bright Dao Lord, which is the "Jade True Mysterious Bright Dao Lord's Manifestation of Spiritual Restriction and Void Breaking Law".

In an instant, amidst the chaotic starry sea, heavenly flowers rained down and golden lotuses sprang from the earth. Xuanming Daojun was surrounded by a myriad of radiant lights and auspicious clouds, as well as a seven-colored rainbow and the flowing splendor of the three radiances.

The five elements shine brightly, the twelve mysteries unfold, the Dharma meaning rises and falls, the bells and chimes resound, and the Daoist rhyme is melodious.

Kunhe Daojun directly sealed his senses of perception and hearing, rejecting Xuanming Daojun's method. With a wave of his hand, Kunyuan earth energy surged forth, shattering Xuanming Daojun's figure.

However, to the left and right of Kunhe Daojun, the past and future Xuanming were also chanting scriptures. Kunhe Daojun waved his hand again to disperse their forms with Kunyuan earth energy, but the sound of chanting continued.

In an instant, the figure of Xuanming Daojun appeared in front of Kunhe Daojun, then behind him, then to the left and right, then up and down.
The figure of Xuanming Daojun was omnipresent, in all directions. Even though Kunhe Daojun used his methods to dispel the mortal world, shatter the form of chaos, and separate the phenomena of reality and illusion, he could not dispel the existence of Xuanming Daojun.

At this moment, Xuanming Daojun no longer exists not only in the present world, in the realm of illusion and reality, or in the chaos, but also in the past, present, and future.

Therefore, it is not an easy task for Kunhe Daojun to dispel Xuanming Daojun in a short period of time.

"Hmph, such methods!"

Kunhe Daojun snorted coldly, casually pulled a whisk from his sleeve, and then swept it with his hand. The vast Kunyuan earth energy disappeared into nothingness and surged into the years.

In every breath and every instant of the past, the earth energy of Kunyuan roamed the entire Yanzhou universe, dispelling the aura of Xuanming Daojun within.

In an instant, the figure of Xuanming Daojun shattered into pieces. The figure of Xuanming Daojun from the past disintegrated and vanished at a speed of hundreds of thousands per breath, gradually leaving only the Xuanming Daojun who existed in the present and the future.

Kunhe Daojun remained unmoved, raised his hand and pointed, and a strand of Kun Yuan earth energy condensed into earth-element thunder. In an instant, thunder resounded, and throughout the past and future, only the thunder of Kun earth could be heard.

Every moment of thunderous roar shattered the aura of the Mysterious Dao Lord hidden within it.

In the blink of an eye, Xuanming Daojun's past and future bodies were completely shattered.

However, Kunhe Daojun was not satisfied at all; instead, he let out a surprised and doubtful sound: "Hmm?"

At this moment, even as those myriad figures shatter and the past and future dissipate, before Kunhe Daojun, there still stands the figure of Xuanming Daojun, who is the true self of Xuanming Daojun.

Xuanming Daojun chuckled lightly: "The past me and the future me are both me and not me. If they break, they break; if they scatter, they scatter. What does it have to do with me?"

“My true self will remain eternally present in this world, and my will will not waver here. What can my fellow Daoist do to me?”

What can you do to me?!
Looking at the seemingly humble but actually arrogant Xuanming Daojun before him, Kunhe Daojun's originally peaceful and elegant face, along with the glint in his eyes, finally revealed a smile.

"Before the calamity begins, when the Three Realms are still unsettled."

"I have heard that there was once an unparalleled genius from the unorthodox sect in the Mountain and River Realm who was almost able to reach the Pure Yang realm, but he was blocked by someone and ruined in an instant."

"In the end, that unorthodox genius had no choice but to turn to the divine path and disappear without a trace."

"Back then, it seems that Fellow Daoist Xuanming was among those who intervened to obstruct your path, wasn't he?"

Xuanming Daojun showed no remorse upon hearing this, but instead nodded with delight: "Indeed, besides myself, there are also Fellow Daoist Junming and Fellow Daoist Xuanjian. What's wrong?"

Kunhe Daojun continued, "After Fellow Daoist Xuanjian obstructed the Dao, instead of seeking refuge in the Eastern Heaven Daoist School or escaping the calamity in the depths of chaos, he entered the Tianyuan Realm, which led to his imprisonment and serious injury."

"He has not shown his face until this very moment."

"As for Fellow Daoist Junming, he has not returned to the Eastern Heaven, but is hiding in the depths of chaos, hence there is no trace of him. It seems that Fellow Daoist Junming will not show himself until this calamity is over."

At this point, a strange glint appeared in Kunhe Daojun's eyes: "However, Fellow Daoist Xuanming, you are only at the Dao Entry Realm, why do you insist on getting involved in the affairs of the Nine Provinces Realm?"

"Back then, when you blocked someone's path, did you really think they wouldn't seek revenge against you?"

Before the words were finished, endless flames surged from the void and chaos, accompanied by the cry of the golden crow, and a blazing sun leaped out from the light and hung high between the stars and sea of ​​Yanzhou.

The sun is countless miles wide, surrounded by blazing flames that radiate light in all directions. Within the vast sun, a golden crow rides a chariot, and bells and chimes resound in unison. That is the way of fire, that is the way of yang.

Under the blazing sun and raging fire, divine might shines brightly, with golden and purple wheels illuminating all directions, auspicious clouds hanging above floating golden lamps and silver cups, generating Taoist charm and manifesting the might of the law and heaven.

The imperial edict of gold and purple signifies the divine emperor, whose rank is pure yang!

Xuanming Daojun squinted, gazing at the majestic golden crow cloud chariot, and at the Heavenly Emperor wearing a sun crown and imperial robes atop it.

Looking at the suddenly appearing Heavenly Emperor, Xuanming Daojun was not flustered at all; instead, his eyes held a profound and unfathomable meaning.

But then Xuanming Daojun asked:

"Why has Emperor Sichen come here?" (End of Chapter)
