Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

Buddha's Lotus Blessing!

When the Golden Cicada Bodhisattva made his move, it was with a ferocious and deadly attack.

This seemingly compassionate and merciful Bodhisattva pointed a finger and a golden lotus bloomed, with a surge of Buddhist light that could save all things in the world, engulfing Tianyu Daojun. It was clear that he intended to save this ancestor of the Tianyuan Holy Sect, who had reached the Dao realm, on the spot.

As the Golden Cicada Bodhisattva made his move, the Five Elements Great Sage also raised his hand, and behind him appeared the Five Elements Peacock Dharma Image that reached the heavens and covered the universe. The noble Five Elements Peacock spread out its five-colored tail feathers, and the Five Elements Great Sage pointed and said: "Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light!"

In an instant, five-colored divine light swept through the chaos from the tail feathers of the Five Elements Peacock Dharma Image.

The roar of the Five Elements resounded throughout the universe. The formless power of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth evolved into creation and destruction. Wherever the divine light of the Five Elements passed, chaos collapsed and nothingness shattered, and all things were swept away.

A beam of light shot out from Tianxuan Daojun's sleeve, transforming into a Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror.

The moment the treasure mirror appeared, it expanded to a size of tens of millions of miles, blocking Tianxuan Daojun's way and swallowing up the Five Elements Divine Light that was sweeping through all things.

In the next instant, Daoist Tianxuan activated the Yin-Yang Mirror once more, and an even more ruthless and ferocious Five Elements Divine Light shot out from the mirror, sweeping towards the Five Elements Great Sage.

Seeing that Tianxuan Daojun had used the treasure mirror to replicate his divine power, the Five Elements Great Sage snorted coldly, raised his hand and flicked out another Five Elements Extinction Divine Light, which collided with the oncoming Five Elements Divine Light.

The two beams of Five Elements Extinction Divine Light collided, and the power of the Five Elements erupted in the vast chaos outside the Nine Provinces, transforming into a surging spiritual tide that swept through countless star fields, shattering countless stars into dust.

Compared to the battle between the four Dao-holding realm cultivators, the situation faced by Tianxing Daojun was much more dangerous.

The Great Sage of Divine Wind and the Laughing Lion Arhat attacked simultaneously. Both were at the Dao Realm. The Void-Breaking Xuanhuang Cone that Tianxing Daojun had summoned was trapped in the void by the Great Sage of Divine Wind's Samadhi Yellow Wind and could not move. Meanwhile, the Laughing Lion Arhat manifested his true Arhat form and raised his palm to deliver a Demon-Subduing Vajra Seal to the top of Tianxing Daojun's head.

Previously in the Tianyuan Realm, Daoist Tianxing had joined forces with Daoist Tianxuan to ambush Daoist Yangji of the Tianhe Dao Sect.

At this moment, Tianxing Daojun also experienced the feeling of being besieged for the first time.

The Vajra Seal of Subduing Demons is fierce and domineering, unparalleled in its power; the Samadhi Yellow Sand Wind is even more destructive, scattering souls and spirits, confusing the mind and bewildering the spirit.

With the combined efforts of the Yellow Wind Great Sage and the Laughing Lion Arhat, Tianxing Daojun fought his way through the enemy lines, but gradually became overwhelmed and suffered repeated defeats.

The Five Elements Great Sage glanced at the Heavenly Dao Lord who was being suppressed, and then unleashed another Five Elements Primordial Magnetic Divine Blade at the Heavenly Profound Dao Lord in front of him. As the blade flashed, the Five Elements Great Sage said in a deep voice, "Four against three, the advantage is on our side."

"Fellow Daoist Tianxuan, please make way for me."

However, before the Five Elements Great Sage could finish speaking, a deep voice rang out from behind him: "Four against three? What about me?"

Before the words were finished, a surge of pure Yang power, capable of reversing Yin and Yang and devouring the universe, manifested and transformed into the form of nine dragons, crashing down on the back of the Five Elements Great Sage.

The Five Elements Great Sage felt a chill in his heart and, disregarding everything else, directly revealed his original form, transforming into the Five Elements Peacock True Form that blotted out the sky.

As the Five Elements Peacock manifested its true form, it flapped its wings and disappeared into the chaos, vanishing without a trace in the vast chaos, leaving Tianxuan Daojun unable to find the Five Elements Great Sage for a time.

But then, five streams of light swept in from the void, like a long river of time, sweeping across all directions. The vast power of the five elements swept everything away, whether it was the Nine Dragons Primordial Qi that devoured the universe or the Pure Yang Divine Power of Tianxuan Daojun, all were swept away by the divine light of the five elements.

Only then did the Five Elements Great Sage leap out of the void, coldly looking behind him: "Nine Spirits Primordial Sage!"

The one who appeared behind the Five Elements Great Sage was none other than the Nine Spirits Primordial Sage of the Nine Chambers Realm.

At this moment, he happened to arrive at the border of the Nine Provinces, and decided to join forces with the three Pure Yang Dao Lords of the Tianyuan Holy Sect to stop the four Great Saints of the Five Elements outside the border of the Nine Provinces.

When Tianyu Daojun saw that Jiuling Yuansheng had arrived, he immediately forced Jinchan Bodhisattva to retreat and said with a smile, "Previously, it was three against four of us, so the advantage was with you, fellow Daoist."

"But now, it's still four against four, we have three Dao-holding realm cultivators, while you have two. May I ask, who has the advantage?"

Upon hearing this, both the Five Elements Great Sage and the Golden Cicada Bodhisattva turned grim. Beyond the Nine Provinces, a chilling atmosphere hung over billions of miles of sky. The Five Elements Great Sage slowly said, "Bodhisattva, I was entrusted by Daoist Juehua to come and lend a helping hand to the Eastern Heaven Daoist School. If I were to leave in disgrace without even entering the Nine Provinces, I would have no face to return to the Three Realms."

Golden Cicada Bodhisattva said softly, "This humble monk was also entrusted by Daoist Jingxuan. Right now, this humble monk is hoping to enter the Nine Provinces Realm to see Fellow Daoist Dejing and Fellow Daoist Jianglong. How can I leave?"

After exchanging words, the two Dao-holding realm experts understood that the other could not leave easily and thus made up their minds.

The next instant, the Five Elements Great Sage unleashed the Five Elements Heavenly Demon Blade with ferocious force: "Five Elements - Primal Magnetic Sky-Splitting!"

The Golden Cicada Bodhisattva also raised his jade tree and golden alms bowl: "Jade Purity - Universal Salvation!"

As the Five Elements Great Sage and the Golden Cicada Bodhisattva made their move, Dao Lord Tianyu and Dao Lord Tianxuan unhesitatingly summoned their magic treasures to defend themselves. Meanwhile, the Nine Spirits Primordial Sage unabashedly revealed his majestic true form, which stretched for billions of miles and reached the heavens and the earth. Behind him, the nine ferocious phantoms disturbed the primordial chaos and instantly transformed into nine all-consuming, boundless stars.

"Nine Elements - Infinite!"

Within the Nine Provinces Realm, the Dao Lords of the Eastern Heavenly Daoist School clashed once again with Dao Lord Qian Tian and others in the Chaotic Star Sea.

However, it still ended without any resolution.

Zhuzhou, Jiutou Mountain.

Yue Heng Daojun had a gloomy expression, Chi Xiao Daojun and De Jing Daojun closed their eyes to rest, Jianglong Luohan concentrated on his cultivation, and Miao Yan Daojun frowned slightly.

"Kong Xuan and Jin Chan were stopped outside the Nine Provinces by Tian Yu and the others from the Tianyuan Holy Sect." "At the same time, the Nine Spirits Primordial Saint from the Nine Chambers Realm also made a move."

Miao Yan Daojun spoke of the latest news, his expression not pleasant.

Upon hearing this, Arhat Subduing Dragon said, "Although Chaoyin and I can stop Tianpeng and Zhenxiao, those two beasts have become wary of us and never fight us with their full strength. They are basically just stalling."

"They wanted to run away, and we couldn't stop them."

Yue Heng Daojun nodded upon hearing the words of the Arhat Subduing Dragon, then looked at Miao Yan Daojun beside him and asked, "Miao Yan, when will the Golden Mother Yuanjun arrive?"

Miao Yan Daojun said, "Golden Mother Yuanjun has already left the Kunlun Realm. As for when she will arrive, I cannot say."

"However, now that Qian Tian and his group have even managed to persuade the Nine Spirits Primordial Saint, the Golden Mother Primordial Lord might not be able to enter even if she arrives in the Nine Provinces Realm."

Daoist Yue Heng nodded silently. What Daoist Miao Yan said was exactly what he was worried about: the Five Elements Great Sage and the Golden Cicada Bodhisattva had already been blocked outside the Nine Provinces by the Heavenly Origin Holy Sect and the Nine Spirits Primordial Sage. Who knew if Qian Tian and the others had any other tricks up their sleeves?

Seeing that Daoist Yue Heng remained silent, Daoist Miao Yan looked to the side and saw that Daoist Chi Xiao was still resting with his eyes closed, while Daoist De Jing was also calming his mind, as if he had completely forgotten himself.

Seeing this, Daoist Miaoyan couldn't help but say, "Dejing, what do you think we should do in the current situation?"

As Miaoyan Daojun spoke, Yueheng Daojun also looked over: "Dejing, we've known each other for a long time. Just say what you want to say."

Seeing that both Daoist Miaoyan and Daoist Yueheng had spoken, Daoist Chixiao also opened his eyes and looked over. At this moment, Daoist Dejing, who was being stared at by a group of old friends, slowly opened his eyes, glanced at these old fellows, and then calmly said, "Say a thousand words, say ten thousand."

"Right now, what we lack is a leader who can make the decisions and take responsibility."

"Yue Heng, please invite Senior Brother Kaiyuan. There are so many of us from different families here, we need someone who can make the decisions."

Lord Kaiyuan!
Upon hearing this person's name, the Arhat Subduing Dragon also looked at Daoist Yue Heng.

Throughout all the heavens and myriad realms, upholding the Dao is paramount.

This title of being the foremost in upholding the Dao was not something Kaiyuan Daojun boasted about, nor was it something the Eastern Heaven Daoists spread; rather, it was something Kaiyuan Daojun earned through his own divine powers and abilities.

Do you not remember the last battle in the Tianyuan Realm? Kaiyuan Daojun single-handedly fought against six Daojuns, killing the Nine-Tailed Great Sage of Qingqiu Sacred Realm in Jurong Realm and severely injuring two Dao Entry Realm cultivators.

The death of the Nine-Tailed Great Sage at the hands of Kaiyuan Daojun was also a major reason for the destruction of the Qingqiu Fox Clan.

Since that battle, among all the realms, only the Tushan Holy Land in the Great Wilderness Realm remains as the ancestral home of the Fox Clan, while the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox lineage of Qingqiu has been completely wiped out.

A great sage who upholds the Dao and millions of foxes from Qingqiu risked their lives to prove the saying: "Kaiyuan Daojun, the number one in upholding the Dao."

If this person were to appear in the Nine Provinces Realm, the Qiankun Dao Sect and their allies would be unable to stop him without deploying three or four Dao-holding realm experts.

It can be said that as long as Kaiyuan Daojun appears, Tianyu, Tianxuan, Tianxing, and the Nine Spirits Primordial Saint, who are currently outside the Nine Provinces Realm, will absolutely not be able to stop Kaiyuan Daojun. At that time, the Five Elements Great Saint and the Golden Cicada Bodhisattva will also be able to enter the Nine Provinces Realm at will.

This is a true open strategy, using the overwhelming power of Kaiyuan Daojun, the number one Daoist master, to completely crush all of Qian Tian's plans and establish the absolute advantage of the Eastern Heaven Daoist School.

After some thought, Daoist Yue Heng said, "In that case, I will write to Senior Brother Kaiyuan and ask him to come to the Nine Provinces Realm as soon as possible to take charge of the overall situation."

In the chaos and nothingness, a vast star distorted all light and heat. Boundless starlight and chaotic energy swirled around the vast star, condensing into a surging and recurring ring of stars, while the entire star field was extinguished and turned into a desolate, icy land.

At this moment, within the Great Star of No Return, two figures are playing chess.

Both figures were distorted by the workings of time, their faces and shapes obscured. All that was known was that both possessed extraordinary abilities.

"Beyond the Three Realms and outside the Five Elements" is merely the most barren description of it.

"You really want to help Qian Tian and the others win?"

"No, no, I don't care whether Qian Tian and his group win or Dong Tian Daoist wins."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

"The Great Calamity of the Xuanmen is an immense opportunity and fortune. What I am after is nothing more than the calamity itself. Whoever wins or loses, it will be advantageous to me."

"You, you, are still so chaotic and fearless. No wonder people call you the enemy of Buddha and the demon lord."

"No, no, no, I am neither an enemy of Buddha nor a demon lord; I am the Buddha Emperor."

"That's it, that's it."

A figure chanted something, then slowly dissipated, transforming into a crimson lotus crown adorned with ten thousand Buddhas, a brocade robe inlaid with various jewels, and a Buddhist staff gilded with nine intricate rings.

Another figure slowly rose, placing the Buddhist crown on his head, draping the robe over his body, and holding the staff in his hand. Then, he turned gracefully to look at the vast universe, towards the Great Lingyin Temple in the Western Pure Land, and slowly bowed, chanting a Buddhist prayer:
"Namo, the True Buddha of Freedom." (End of Chapter)
