Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

"What do you mean?"

Yu Ming Zhenjun looked at Jiang Sheng with displeasure, clearly unhappy with Jiang Sheng's suspicion.

Jiang Sheng's lips twitched: "True Lord, although I am only at the first stage of cultivation, when it comes to divine sense perception, I am definitely no worse than you."

"I began to sense the waterway as soon as I entered the sea, and I have been diving for 30 million miles under the Mingyan Sea, but I have not sensed the slightest trace of the waterway."

"And the nearest underwater mountain is at least five million miles away, and the deeper underwater plains are probably between ten million and fifteen million miles away."

"With my perception, I can only detect five million miles. How did you, True Lord, detect such subtle movements in the underwater passage amidst the chaos of battle?"

Upon hearing this, True Monarch Yuming was taken aback for a moment, then asked suspiciously, "Since you have doubts, why did you come along?"

Jiang Sheng sighed: "If I hadn't come along, wouldn't it have been an outsider who discovered this problem?"

"True Lord, tell me, how did this waterway come about?"

Seeing Jiang Sheng's attitude, Yu Ming Zhenjun smiled and said, "In the end, I couldn't hide it from you."

"However, I had already anticipated this when I brought you here. Take it."

As Yu Ming Zhenjun spoke, he threw a jade tablet out of his sleeve.

Jiang Sheng raised his hand and took it. He saw that the front of the jade tablet depicted the vast East China Sea and the three islands of Penglai with the sun high in the sky, while the back was surrounded by auspicious clouds and mist, with two Daoist seals flowing with boundless pure Yang light.

Unlike the True Lord Jade Tokens of the Upper Three Realms of Penglai, this is a Pure Yang Token possessed only by the Pure Yang Patriarch of Penglai.

Those two Daoist seals, in the Xuanmen (Taoist school), mean: Xuanming (Mysterious Brightness).

This is the jade tablet edict of the seventh patriarch of Penglai, Wuxiang Langxiao Xuanming Daojun!

The presence of this jade tablet signifies the personal presence of Daoist Xuanming.

Looking at the jade tablet, Jiang Sheng finally understood why Yu Ming Zhenjun was so obsessed with this waterway.

Yu Ming Zhenjun laughed and said, "Ling Yuan, do you understand now?"

“From the very beginning, the founders foresaw that Mingzhou would be difficult to attack.”

"Therefore, Ancestor Chixiao took advantage of several opportunities to fight with that Flying Sun Daoist to forcibly open up several waterways at the bottom of the Bright Flame Sea. At the same time, Ancestor Dejing and the others also took the opportunity to severely injure Flying Sun Daoist, so that he would not have time to think too much."

"With the arrival of the Arhat Subduing Dragon and the Bodhisattva of the Tide Sound, the patriarchs specially arranged for the Arhat Subduing Dragon to fight against that Great Sage Tianpeng in the Bright Flame Sea, thus completely opening up that waterway!"

"All the sacrifices and losses before were worthwhile."

"These waterways will be personally led by Chunyang of my Dongtian Daoist family, heading straight for the heart of Mingzhou."

Jiang Sheng understood. Thinking about the countless casualties caused by the Eastern Heaven Daoist's reckless fighting these past few days, he slowly exhaled: "This is what they mean by 'throwing a brick to attract jade, and letting the flower bloom in the center.'"

Yu Ming Zhenjun nodded: "No sacrifice is too great to be accepted. Do not forget what the goal of our Eastern Heaven Daoist School is in this great calamity of the Xuanmen."

"Let's go, follow me to explore the waterways. Every waterway must be thoroughly investigated to prevent any accidents."

Watching Yu Ming Zhenjun descend, Jiang Sheng gripped the jade tablet of Xuan Ming Daojun in his hand, moved, and followed Yu Ming Zhenjun toward the seabed of Mingyan Sea.

Before long, the two finally arrived at the seabed plain of the Mingyan Sea. Just as Jiang Sheng had predicted, the seabed plain was at least 50 million miles away from the surface of the Mingyan Sea.

At this depth, the light has been refracted several times, from bright to dark to gloomy and then back to bright. At the depths of the Mingyan Sea, fifty million miles deep, some fluorescent spots can be seen, with some corals and giant clams shimmering with fluorescent light. Apart from that, it is difficult to see large areas of light.

In such a deep seabed, Jiang Sheng and Yu Ming Zhenjun's perception was also severely limited; the range that their divine senses could cover was only about three million miles in radius.

Even a True Monarch at the Fifth Tribulation level would likely only have a divine sense covering five or six million miles.

Only the Pure Yang Dao Lord above the ninth realm can be free from any limitations and constraints, and do as he pleases.

After a thorough investigation, as Jiang Sheng and Yu Ming Zhenjun's spiritual senses were continuously depleted, they finally found several fissures on the seabed after traveling 35 million miles.

These cracks concealed a dark and murky presence, yet to Jiang Sheng and Yu Ming Zhenjun, the traces and fluctuations were clearly visible.

Those were traces of Buddhist teachings from the Arhat Subduing Dragon of Tianlong Temple. Beneath the Arhat Subduing Dragon's Buddhist teachings, there seemed to be some remaining traces of Xuanmen Daoist charm, which was undoubtedly the work of Daoist Chixiao.

The two Dao-holding realm experts opened up waterways at the bottom of the Mingyan Sea one after the other, all for the purpose of directly reaching the ancestral temple of the Qiankun Dao Sect above Mingzhou.

Clearly, the Qiankun Dao Sect is like a fishbone stuck in the throat of the Eastern Heaven Daoist School, and it cannot be left unremoved.

"Let's go, one of us per channel, and explore the waterway as quickly as possible to clean up anything left inside."

As Yu Ming Zhenjun spoke, he took the lead and entered one of the rifts. Jiang Sheng thought for a moment and then entered another rift.

The fissures on these underwater mountains don't look very big, only big enough for one person to pass through, but in the eyes of beings in the upper three realms, these fissures are already big enough.

Right now, Jiang Sheng is transforming into a blue rainbow and moving rapidly through the winding waterway. He smashes through any rocks that block his way, and he also cleans up any sea creatures hiding around the bends.

In less than ten thousand miles of travel, Jiang Sheng encountered dozens of marine creatures, and there were countless places with piles of rubble and even overgrown corals and seaweed.

The existence of Pure Yang created this waterway, and its lingering aura naturally attracted countless living beings. These beings, nourished by the lingering aura, began to grow, but now they too are perishing because of that same aura. This waterway is crucial to the grand plan of the Eastern Heavenly Daoist School, and Jiang Sheng will certainly not allow any being to interfere with its smooth flow.

Otherwise, if a major battle breaks out, even a slight slowdown in the waterways could cause the plan to fail.

From the mountain crevice all the way to Mingzhou, this waterway extends endlessly on the seabed. Jiang Sheng maintained a speed of five million miles per breath in the waterway and traveled rapidly, but after several hours, he still hadn't reached the bottom.

Finally, after three days and nights of traversing the waterway, Jiang Sheng saw the light shining through the end of the waterway.

Jiang Sheng tentatively extended a wisp of his divine sense to confirm that the surroundings were quiet and safe before leaping out of the waterway. The waterway led to a vast swamp, where numerous aquatic creatures roamed. Among the vast expanse of aquatic plants and rocks, various aquatic spirits frolicked around the aquatic plants, completely ignoring Jiang Sheng who had suddenly appeared beside them.

Jiang Sheng used a concealment technique to rise from the swamp. Looking up at the shimmering light and the bright moon and stars in the sky, Jiang Sheng knew that it was the reflection of the Qiankun Dao Sect's grand formation.

But more than the shimmering array light, Jiang Sheng was more concerned with the undulating mountains that he had never seen in person, yet which were deeply imprinted in his mind.

Across the vast marshland, an endless range of mountains rose and fell like a celestial barrier, upon which rosy clouds and auspicious mists could be seen. In the dim light, clusters of palaces and pavilions could be glimpsed, resembling a heavenly palace.
"That's... the mountain gate of the Qiankun Dao Sect?!"

"The waterway opened up by Daoist Chixiao and Arhat Jianglong actually leads directly to Tongmingze outside the gate of Qiankun Dao Sect!"

Several days later, on the Mingyan Sea, at the Eastern Heavenly Palace.

At this time, the Heavenly Palace was filled with the absolute main force of the Eastern Heavenly Daoist School.

The true disciples of the Upper Three Realms of Penglai, Qinghua, Tianhe, and Chixiao were all present. At the same time, various immortal sects that were affiliated with the Eastern Heaven Daoist School, such as the Three Star Sect, the Mountain and Sea Palace, the Spirit Sea Sect, the Purple Cloud Sect, the Antarctic Palace, and the Yue Mountain Sect, also sent their respective Upper Three Realms true disciples to obey the orders of the Eastern Heaven Daoist School.

Meanwhile, in the main hall of the Heavenly Palace, a host of Mahayana Immortal Lords, including Xuanjing Immortal Lord of the Heavenly River Dao Sect, Junxiao Immortal Lord of the Azure Flower Dao Sect, and Chiyun Immortal Lord of the Crimson Cloud Dao Sect, also appeared.

The gathering of so many Mahayana Immortal Lords and Upper Three Realms Immortals was naturally for the upcoming earth-shattering battle.

Suddenly, a young Taoist chanted, "The Daoist Lord Jiuming Qianyuan Dejing has arrived!"

"The Daoist Lord of Nine Yang Profound Azure Mysterious Majesty has arrived!"

"Daoist Lord Mingxuan Zhengyang Yueheng has arrived!"

"The Eight Scenic Spots of the Lantern Festival: Daoist Chixiao Arrives!"

As the chants resounded, the Dao Lords of the Eastern Heavenly Daoist School entered the arena in unison. A group of Immortal Lords and True Lords at the Integration and Refinement Realms bowed in unison. Then, four Dao Lords sat cross-legged on a cloud bed, and a large curtain rose up.

"Outside the Nine Provinces, the Heavenly Origin Holy Sect and the Nine Spirits Primordial Saint joined forces to block the reinforcements from the Golden Zen Temple and the Demon Emperor's Palace."

"However, this does not affect the overall situation. The Golden Mother Daoist of Yaochi Holy Land will arrive in an instant, and the battle outside the Nine Provinces will soon be decided."

"Therefore, what we need to look at is the area within the Nine Provinces that we can obtain."

As Yue Heng Daojun spoke, his hand touched the Mingzhou area on the large screen.

In an instant, the eyes of this Daoist ruler gleamed with a sharp light, and his words were full of certainty and certainty: "This time, our Eastern Heaven Daoist School has mobilized all its forces, determined to conquer Mingzhou."

"Destroy the mountains and temples, eradicate the lineage of the Qiankun Dao Sect!"

In an instant, everyone cheered: "Break through Mingzhou! Destroy the mountains and destroy the temples!"

"Conquer Mingzhou! Destroy mountains and temples!"

The following day, Daoist Yueheng, Daoist Dejing, Daoist Miaoyan, and Daoist Chixiao personally led their teams to launch a frontal attack on the allied forces from the Mingyan Sea. At the same time, a group of Mahayana Immortal Lords from the Eastern Heaven Daoist School appeared together and charged to the front line to fight against the Mahayana Immortal Lords of the allied forces.

The battle lasted only a moment before several pure Yang figures soared into the sky in Mingzhou. Qian Tian Dao Jun, Fei Yang Dao Jun, Hun Xuan Dao Jun, and Dian Xing Dao Jun each faced their old rivals and started fighting without saying a word.

At the same time, the Great Sage Tianpeng and the Great Sage Zhenxiao also led their demon soldiers to entangle the Arhat Jianglong and the Bodhisattva Chaoyin. The demon soldiers under the two Great Sages fought endlessly with the monks of Tianlong Temple and Jinchan Temple on the Mingyan Sea, and the Taoist soldiers who had been painstakingly trained fell into the Mingyan Sea in large numbers.

Outside the Nine Provinces, the Nine Spirits Primordial Saint, Heavenly Yu Dao Lord, and Heavenly Profound Dao Lord were also suppressing the Five Elements Great Saint and the Golden Cicada Bodhisattva in battle.

At this time, battles raged both inside and outside the Nine Provinces. Within the Nine Provinces, the Eastern Heavenly Daoists were finding it difficult to break through the coastal defenses of Mingzhou, while outside the Nine Provinces, the Five Elements Great Sage and the Golden Cicada Bodhisattva were about to be defeated by the Nine Spirits Primordial Sage and his group.

The ten-headed, all-powerful demon god, waving his twenty arms, looked at the Five Elements Great Sage opposite him and couldn't help but laugh, "Kong Xuan, what have you gained by risking your life to help the Eastern Heaven Daoist School?"

"If they can't break through Mingzhou, you will all die by my hand!"

Kong Xuan, the Great Sage of the Five Elements, calmly stopped the Nine-Headed Lion Saint's immense divine power that devoured the sun and moon, and said indifferently, "Nine-Headed Lion Saint, do you really think you have won?"

Looking at the extremely calm expression of the Five Elements Great Sage, the Nine-Headed Lion King suddenly felt a sense of unease and a bad premonition rose in his heart.

He was a Dao Lord of a different sect, a Daoist master at the Dao-holding realm; how could his sudden whim be a mere warning?!

Just as the Nine-Headed Lion was filled with doubt and surprise, the Five Elements Great Sage pointed to the vast and boundless Nine Provinces Great Thousand World beneath him: "Take a look at Mingzhou, isn't there some flaw in it?"

Nine-Headed Lion Saint subconsciously looked down and saw three great suns slowly rising in Mingzhou, radiating light in all directions.

However, these three great suns headed straight for the gate of the Qiankun Dao Sect!

In an instant, the Nine-Headed Lion Saint's heart trembled:

Oh no! Those thieves from the East have raided our base! (End of Chapter)
