Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

The Chaotic Eastern Region, a land of immortal splendor, the Great Dao encompasses the Nine Provinces.

The vast land of Kyushu, including the Cangzhou region.

Although all three are places of the Qiankun Dao Sect, Cangzhou, Mingzhou, and Yanzhou are different.

Among them, Yanzhou was a battlefield that the Qiankun Dao Sect had long planned. Therefore, it was divided into five regions and many Dao Palaces were set up there, with the intention of ruining the entire Yanzhou and delaying the progress of the Dongtian Dao Family.

Therefore, in Yanzhou, there are many cultivation families and sects, but their upper limit is limited to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Mingzhou is the location of the Qiankun Dao Sect's mountain gate. Everything in Mingzhou is under the control of the Qiankun Dao Sect. There are no cultivation sects in Mingzhou other than the Qiankun Dao Sect, only cultivation families established by disciples of the Qiankun Dao Sect.

As for Cangzhou, it is the rear base set up by the Qiankun Dao Sect. It is a place for the Qiankun Dao Sect to reserve talents and cultivate various resources. In terms of prosperity, Cangzhou is not much worse than Mingzhou.

The entire Cangzhou was not divided into regions, but rather into countries and prefectures. Each small country was responsible for a type of resource, and each prefecture was responsible for a type of output. As for the Myriad Manifestations Immortal Lord, he resided high in the heavens, dividing the countries and maintaining a balance among them.

The current equilibrium that can still be maintained is now completely unsustainable.

In the Cangzhou Qing Kingdom, shouts of battle echoed throughout the various prefectures and counties. Magical boats, some tens or even hundreds of miles long, shuttled back and forth, displaying a dazzling array of spells and supernatural powers, which even dyed the sky with brilliant colors.

At this moment, a chaotic battle is underway in Qingshi County of Qing Kingdom.

It was clear that a dozen or so cultivators dressed in the robes of the Penglai Dao Sect were being besieged by nearly a hundred other cultivators and were in dire straits.

Among these Penglai disciples, the one with the highest cultivation level was a mid-grade Golden Core cultivator named Li Xian; to his left and right were two low-grade Golden Core cultivators, Wang Qiong and Zhang Kuang. Apart from these three Golden Core cultivators, there were only about ten Purple Mansion Feathered Warriors left.

"Brother Li, there are too many remnants of the Qiankun Dao Sect. When will the sect's reinforcements arrive?!"

While Wang Qiong used his golden elixir magic weapon to barely support the defensive formation, he asked Li Xian a question.

Li Xian's expression was rather grim. Their team's original mission was simply to scout out the situation in Qing Shi County and guide the subsequent sect army, but they unexpectedly encountered an ambush here.

"You treacherous villains! Mingzhou has sunk, the mountain gate is gone, yet you still dare to resist!"

"Brother Wang, Brother Zhang, hold on a little longer, the sect's reinforcements will be here soon!"

Although Li Xian said this, he didn't know when the sect's reinforcements would arrive.

As the captain of this reconnaissance team, Li Xian, although only a mid-grade Golden Core cultivator, still knew some things about the sect.

This attack by the sect on Cangzhou is a full-scale attack directly against the countries on the west coast of Cangzhou. The True Monarchs of the Upper Three Realms have all rushed to the inland to deal with the remaining Upper Three Realms of the Qiankun Dao Sect. Who can say how many Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation Realm cultivators are still able to come to the aid along the west coast?
However, just as Li Xian was getting anxious, his communication jade pendant rang, followed by a slightly cold voice: "Report your location."

Li Xian was overjoyed and quickly told them his team's location. Immediately afterward, a second message came through the communication jade pendant: "Half a quarter of an hour."

Upon hearing this, Li Xian quickly said, "Everyone, the sect's true master will arrive in half an hour. Hold on, if we return victorious this time, our merits will definitely double!"

Merit will be doubled!
Everyone's spirits lifted immediately. The merits from coming out to gather intelligence were already considerable, and if they were doubled, they could undoubtedly exchange them for a lot of good things!
Looking at the remnants of the Qiankun Dao Sect attacking from all sides, and then at the defensive formation whose spiritual light was becoming increasingly dim, they were filled with apprehension: Could this formation hold out for another quarter of an hour?
One after another, supernatural spells and techniques bombarded the magic array, creating ripples. Just when it seemed the array was about to collapse, Li Xian took out a precious jade and refined it, giving everyone a chance to catch their breath.

However, there were only a dozen or so of them. As the fire snakes roared in, the defensive formation could no longer withstand the intense and yang fire magic and cracked.

Click.
Click.
With a sound of ice shattering, the magic array collapsed and scattered into countless rays of light, completely exposing Li Xian and the others to the eyes of these Qiankun Dao Sect cultivators.

Just when everyone was in despair, a loud roar came from afar and exploded into a series of cloud bursts in the sky.

Whether it was Li Xian and the others or the cultivators of the Qiankun Dao Sect, they all looked up and saw a magic boat, a thousand miles long, trailing a trail of spiritual light as it sped towards them.

In the next instant, a stream of light leaped down from the Dharma boat. In a flash, the stream of light absorbed the vast spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and before it even landed, it transformed into a majestic Dharma image thousands of feet in size.

The image of the Buddha was wearing a jade crown and a brocade robe, with a cloud-patterned belt around its arms and a brocade protector around its waist. A bright light shone from behind its head, and thousands of pure energies surged around it, reflecting the azure light of the sky.

Dharma Image True Man!

In an instant, Li Xian and his Penglai disciples were all extremely excited, while the cultivators of the Qiankun Dao Sect began to scatter and flee.

How could a group of Golden Core and Purple Mansion Realm cultivators possibly contend with a Nascent Soul stage cultivator?!

In an instant, the Dharma Image landed on the ground. The thousand-foot-tall Dharma Image reached into the void and pulled out a blue-gold Dharma sword hundreds of feet long. The Dharma Image True Person's eyes were full of majesty, and his voice was cold and indifferent: "Remnants of the Qiankun Dao Sect, you still want to run?!"

"Azure Sun Thunder, descend upon me!"

Thunderclouds surged and thunder roared. In the blink of an eye, streaks of azure lightning descended from the sky, covering an area of ​​hundreds of miles, turning the fleeing Qiankun Dao Sect cultivators into ashes.

Li Xian stared blankly at the thousand-foot-tall Dharma image. Compared to the lofty True Monarchs of the Upper Three Realms, the Nascent Soul Grand Cultivator was the limit they could reach.

Although Nascent Soul cultivators are nothing in the eyes of True Lords, the shock they bring each time a Nascent Soul cultivator manifests a Dharma form and mobilizes the power of heaven and earth is indescribable.

After the thousand-foot-tall Dharma Form annihilated the cultivators of the Qiankun Dao Sect, a large azure-gold palm slowly landed on the ground, and a young Daoist figure stepped down from it.

It was only then that Li Xian and the others reacted. The moment they saw the newcomer, Li Xian immediately remembered his identity: Ye Qian, a disciple of Lingzhao Zhenjun, also known as Ye Zhenren!
"Disciple Li Xian greets Master Ye!"

Hearing Li Xian's words, Ye Qian's expression softened slightly. He looked at the somewhat disheveled Li Xian and the others and asked, "What is your mission?"

Li Xian quickly replied, "The Hall of Affairs wants us to investigate the situation in the three counties of Qingshi, Qingguang, and Qingping in the Qing Kingdom."

Before Li Xian could finish speaking, Ye Qian said, "No need to scout anymore. Just follow the team to the capital of Qing Kingdom." Finally, Ye Qian added, "The remnants of the Qiankun Dao Sect in Qing Kingdom are currently concentrated in the capital. Once we take that place, Qing Kingdom will be ours."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qian soared into the air and landed on the shoulder of the Dharma Image. The enormous, thousand-foot-tall Dharma Image grabbed Li Xian and the others and strode forward to chase after the Dharma Boat.

At this moment, Li Xian realized that Master Ye Qian had not come specifically to save them; they had simply happened to appear in Ye Qian's path.

Meanwhile, in other directions of Qing Kingdom, countless magical boats, some a thousand miles in size and others a hundred miles in size, were heading towards the capital of Qing Kingdom from all directions. Each magical boat was adorned with the banners of the Penglai Dao Sect.

An hour later, Li Xian, who had arrived at the battlefield in the capital of Qing Kingdom, finally understood what it meant that "the remnants of the Qiankun Dao Sect of Qing Kingdom are all gathered in the capital."

Above the capital of the Azure Kingdom, powerful auras soared into the sky; looking up, there were more than ten of them!
Each of those auras represented a Nascent Soul Transformation Realm cultivator. It was truly unbelievable that a small country like Qing Kingdom could gather more than ten great cultivators from the Qiankun Dao Sect!

After sensing the auras ahead, Ye Qian immediately led Li Xian and the others into the camp. Only then did Li Xian realize that this camp was truly a place where hidden talents resided.

Not only did he meet Ye Qian, a disciple of Lingzhao Zhenjun, but he also met Yun Hao, a disciple of Lingyu Zhenjun, Zhang Zhen, a disciple of Lingyan Zhenjun, and even a disciple of Lingyuan Zhenjun, who was renowned as the best of the contemporary Eastern Heaven Daoist school!
For a moment, Li Xian looked at Wang Qiong and Zhang Kuang with a somewhat dazed expression: "Brother Wang, Brother Zhang, what kind of battlefield have we stumbled upon?"

Meanwhile, back in the main camp, Ye Qian no longer cared about Li Xian's small team. After meeting with Li Jianchun, Yun Hao, Zhang Zhen, and others, Ye Qian immediately asked, "Gentlemen, when shall we attack?"

Yun Hao appeared gentle and refined, but she was exceptionally decisive: "We've been waiting for you. Once you've rested, we'll launch the attack."

"We've already tested the waters, and the capital of Qing Kingdom is nothing special. With our combined efforts, those remnants of the Qiankun Dao Sect will all perish here!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qian immediately said, "I don't need to rest. Dealing with a bunch of scum didn't take much effort. Let's hurry up and take over the capital of Qing Kingdom, and then go back to report."

Yun Hao naturally had no objections. After discussing it, the group immediately mobilized troops to launch an attack on the capital of Qing Kingdom.

Li Xian and his group were first incorporated into the military formation and commanded as Taoist soldiers of several thousand or a hundred men. Then they received orders to lead the Taoist soldiers to attack the city under the cover of magic boats and war artifacts.

Immediately afterwards, Li Xian saw several Dharma images, each a thousand feet tall, appear in front of him. It was Ye Qian, Li Jianchun, and the others who had made their move.

As the group of Dharma Aspect True Persons fought fiercely, the defensive formation of the capital of Qing Kingdom was broken in less than a day. Immediately afterwards, Li Xian led his Dao soldiers into the capital to begin purging the cultivators.

By the morning of the next day, the banners of the Penglai Dao Sect had been raised above the capital of Qing Kingdom.

Ye Qian and the others immediately went back to report, and Li Xian was also taken back to be given a mission.

Standing atop that war vessel stretching for thousands of miles, Li Xian still couldn't calm his mind: he was merely a mid-grade Golden Core cultivator, destined to remain at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm for the rest of his life. He never imagined he could participate in such a great battle, much less witness so many Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators fighting.

Amidst the howling wind, Li Xian was still lost in thought when suddenly someone exclaimed with delight, "We're here! We're here!"

Li Xian looked up and saw a colossal creature stretching across the heavens and earth, its majestic outline revealed amidst the vast winds, thunder, and fire. Around this colossal creature, countless magic boats were being launched and swept away in all directions.

This colossal object obscured the heavens and the earth, covering the stars. It was impossible to judge its length or height; just looking at it made it seem like a world unto itself.

Li Xian could not hide his excitement at this moment: The mothership has arrived!

Amidst the fierce winds and thunder and fire above Cangzhou, a massive void vessel, spanning a million miles, lay motionless, unmoved by the howling winds and striking thunder and fire.

Stretching across the sky, it resembles a winding, ancient beast, inspiring awe in anyone who beholds it.

This is the base of the Penglai Dao Sect in Cangzhou, a war vessel capable of traversing the chaotic void.

The Dharma Boat is over 1.2 million li long, 450,000 li high, and 360,000 li wide. It looks like a star hanging in the sky. Its outer surface is engraved with auspicious cloud patterns, wave marks, and paintings of stars and spirit beasts, and is imprinted with thousands of Dao seal spirit marks.

On the spacious deck, there were rows of palaces and pavilions, divided into various areas such as alchemy, artifacts, talismans, and arrays, each with a dedicated cultivator in charge, each performing their own duties.

Inside the magic boat, large areas are divided into spaces for cultivators and Dao soldiers to rest and cultivate. Whether they are cultivators in the middle or lower six realms or immortals in the upper three realms, they all have their own cave dwellings here.

As for the bottom of the Dharma boat, it is engraved with a huge and magnificent pattern: a vast sea, three islands and seven peaks, a high-hanging blue sun, and auspicious clouds of heaven.
The picture is of Penglai, and the boat is also a boat of Penglai.

This warship, spanning over 1.2 million li, is the flagship of the Penglai Dao Sect in Cangzhou, and the foundation of Penglai cultivators and Dao soldiers.

At this moment, as Ye Qian and the others returned, a magic boat no more than a hundred miles in size approached. After confirming their identities, it allowed Ye Qian and Li Xian's magic boat to continue deeper into the void. Only when the magic boat, which was a thousand miles in size, entered the port on the side of the giant void ship did Ye Qian and Li Xian return to this behemoth.

At this time, the Dao soldiers and other disciples on the Dharma Boat could rest, but Li Xian needed to carry the token to the Hall of Affairs to hand over the task and receive merit.

Scenes like this were constantly unfolding throughout this colossal vessel. The warship, much like a mothership, continuously released smaller warships to suppress the remnants of the Qiankun Dao Sect across Cangzhou.

With the fall of Yanzhou and Mingzhou, the powerful and domineering Chunyang Dao Sect, the overlord of the Nine Provinces, lost not only two continents and two-thirds of its land, but also most of its fortune.

If it weren't for the fact that Daoist Qian Tian was still fighting with Daoist Yue Heng, and that several other Mahayana Immortals of the Qiankun Dao Sect, including Immortal Wan Xian, were still leading their people in a stubborn resistance in various places, the entire Qiankun Dao Sect would have collapsed long ago.

Unlike Li Xian, who went to the Hall of Affairs to hand over his mission, Ye Qian went directly to the area surrounded by numerous palaces and pavilions. There, high walls surrounded the palaces and pavilions, and a large number of Dao soldiers patrolled the area. Spirit beasts and celestial birds could be seen appearing and disappearing.

These Taoist soldiers, formations, and celestial beasts jointly guarded the core of this colossal vessel and protected the palace complex.

As Ye Qian used his identity token to travel through the corridors and through the palaces, he finally saw the figure sitting deep inside the main hall after pushing open the last palace door.

The figure was sitting cross-legged behind a table, wearing a blue crown and black robes, with bright, clear eyes and a Taoist wheel hanging from his head. As Ye Qian entered, he revealed a gentle smile: "It's Ye Qian who's back."

Ye Qian bowed deeply, his expression filled with longing and reverence: "Disciple Ye Qian greets Martial Uncle Lingyuan." (End of Chapter)
