Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

Why get involved in the affairs of the Eastern Heavenly Daoists?

When Jiang Sheng asked this question right away, Jin Jiao was a little embarrassed and his face was full of helplessness.

Jiang Sheng observed the golden dragon's expression and smiled, "Is there something you can't say?"

Jin Jiao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly shuddered and quickly said, "I can talk, I can talk, there's nothing I can't talk about."

Jin Jiao was clearly aware of the difference in strength between the enemy and himself, and he did not want to die at Jiang Sheng's hands without knowing why.

Jiang Sheng nodded: "In that case, let's tell you everything."

Without hesitation, Jin Jiao explained in detail how Zizai Xuanjun had hired them to come to the Nine Provinces Realm.

As a powerful demon at the Integration Realm, the Golden Flood Dragon was a figure of considerable importance in the Flood Dragon Sea, and it was clear that it was well aware of some of the inside information.

When Jiang Sheng heard Zizai Xuanjun take out the dragon scales of the Great Sage of the Reverse Sea Flood Dragon and command the dragons of the Flood Dragon Sea to enter the Nine Provinces Realm to compete with the Eastern Heaven Daoist School, he raised an eyebrow slightly and pointed to the Fei Xiao and Chi Yuan below, who were dead beyond any doubt: "So, they were also summoned by Zizai Xuanjun using the name of the Great Sage of the Melting Gold Crimson Slug?"

The golden dragon nodded repeatedly: "To be honest, True Lord, that is exactly the case."

“The Great Sage has given an order, and we must obey.”

Jiang Sheng looked at the golden dragon thoughtfully: "So you just confessed like that?"

The golden dragon replied, "The Great Sage didn't order me to my death, and besides, it wasn't the Great Sage who personally gave the order."

Looking at the Golden Flood Dragon Demon Lord before him, Jiang Sheng felt that he had gained a whole new understanding of the demon race.

People say that the demon race is powerful and tyrannical, and also possesses a wild and ferocious aura. They are prone to outbursts of anger and agitation, and when they fight, they don't care about anything else.
But that's just a stereotype and information deliberately leaked by the demon race. The real demon race is not like that—crude and barbaric. Such demon race members don't live long.

But Jiang Sheng had personally witnessed the demon race's skill in fighting, their courage to fight, and their willingness to fight to the death rather than surrender.

At least among the demon prodigies Jiang Sheng encountered, each one was proud and arrogant, possessing both pride and integrity. While some, like the Chi Yuan, would turn tail and run when things turned sour, very few, like the Golden Flood Dragon Demon Lord, would surrender directly when things went wrong.

Jiang Sheng was quite surprised that a direct descendant of the Great Sage of the Reverse Sea Dragon, who came from the Jiaolong Sea, and a dragon demon at the Integration Realm surrendered so easily: Shouldn't the demon race be very principled?

In fact, what Jin Jiao revealed wasn't really a secret.

Whether it was a deal between Jiaolong Sea and Wanshou Forest and Zizai Xuanjun, or other news, the Eastern Heaven Daoist family couldn't be kept in the dark forever; it was just a matter of when they would find out.

Therefore, Jin Jiao spoke without any reservations, even clearly introducing which demon lords they had in the Nine Provinces Realm.

Long-Armed Golden Ape Demon Lord, Black-Winged Crimson Demon Lord, Sea-Covering Black Flood Dragon King, Azure Wave Tu Flood Dragon King.

The four Mahayana demon lords, two from the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts and two from the Flood Dragon Sea.

This is the top combat force dispatched by the Myriad Beasts Forest and the Flood Dragon Sea under the command of the Free and Unfettered Lord.

The four Mahayana demon lords, under the influence of pure Yang, are virtually invincible when they join forces.

The arrival of these four Mahayana demon lords, along with a large number of demon kings from the Flood Dragon Sea and the Myriad Beast Forest, will undoubtedly cause another shift in the situation of the Nine Provinces Realm. The Eastern Heaven Daoist School's original advantage may now be evened out.
Jin Jiao cautiously watched Jiang Sheng, who was deep in thought. Seeing that Jiang Sheng remained silent, he stayed put and didn't say anything. As for escaping, Jin Jiao had no intention of doing so at all.

What a joke! Having witnessed the Chi Yuan run 30 million miles and beheaded by Jiang Sheng with two sword strikes, he dared not gamble his life on how far Jiang Sheng's sword could cut.

After a moment of contemplation, Jiang Sheng asked, "Are the main forces of your Jiaolong Sea and Wanshou Forest all in Cangzhou?"

Jin Jiao nodded: "Cangzhou is bordered by Junzhou of Huayun Dao Sect and Bianzhou of Kongdong Dao Sect, making it the safest place for us."

Jiang Sheng said no more, and took out a communication jade pendant to inform the front: "It has been found that the demon race of the Great Wilderness Realm comes from the Flood Dragon Sea and the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts. They are under the command of the Free and Unfettered Mystic Lord to enter the Nine Provinces Realm to obstruct the actions of our Eastern Heaven Daoist School."

However, the next moment, the voice of True Lord Yuanyi came through the communication jade pendant: "The situation is clear. Maintain the current battle line. Disciples from all directions of Penglai shall gradually retreat."

"Lingyuan, command the Dharma Boat to advance eighty million li."

Following the instructions from True Lord Yuanyi, Jiang Sheng looked at the Golden Flood Dragon and asked, "Demon Lord, would you be willing to come with me into the Dharma Boat for a look?"

Jin Jiao was taken aback for a moment, then immediately laughed and said, "Of course, of course."

At this moment, in the massive magic ship suspended below the Gale Wind, Thunder and Fire layer, many Penglai disciples were hurriedly directing the movement of this behemoth. With Jiang Sheng's return and re-taking command of the magic ship, the morale of the Penglai disciples was greatly boosted. The magic ship re-emerged into the Gale Wind, Thunder and Fire layer and moved forward at full speed.

"By order of the True Lord, ascend six million miles, and reduce the power supply of the defensive shield by 50%."

"The True Lord has decreed that we advance at full speed, covering eighty million li, and enter the State of Zheng."

Zheng State, located in the western region of Cangzhou, is far from the center of Cangzhou, yet still a mere ten thousand miles from the western coast of Cangzhou, making it a core node in the western region of Cangzhou. At this moment, countless magical ships bearing the banners of the Penglai Dao Sect are constantly converging here from all directions. These ships, ranging in size from hundreds or thousands of miles to tens or even hundreds of thousands of miles long, roam the heavens and earth, all collectively guarding that colossal vessel that stretches across the sky and earth, measuring over 1.2 million miles in length.

In the main hall of this colossal vessel, True Lord Yuanyi, True Lord Shihua, True Lord Shijun, True Lord Yuming, True Lord Yuche, and other True Lords of the Upper Three Realms of Penglai, along with True Lord Canghao, True Lord Xuyuanzi, and other Upper Three Realms of the Chixiao Dao Sect, gathered here.

It is true that the Penglai Dao Sect is in charge of Cangzhou, but this is not the entirety of the Penglai Dao Sect and the Chixiao Dao Sect's power.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been this void vessel, spanning over 1.2 million li, heading to Cangzhou, but rather the Penglai mothership, spanning over 3 million li.

At this moment, a group of True Monarchs, along with Jiang Sheng, Lin Fan, Ling Yu, and others, were looking at the jade pendant projection in front of them.

Several images were divided on the projection, and the projections of the immortal lords of Tianhe, Qinghua, and Chixiao appeared.

As soon as the projections of Immortal Lord Pinghai Xuanjing of Tianhe Dao Sect, Immortal Lord Saxing of Qinghua Dao Sect, and Immortal Lord Shangxing Chiyun of Chixiao Dao Sect appeared, everyone began to discuss the current situation.

Jiang Sheng listened quietly. It was clear that the plans of the Tianhe Dao Sect and the Qinghua Dao Sect were not going smoothly. They encountered continuous attacks from the Huayun Dao Sect and the Kongdong Dao Sect in Xuanzhou and Haozhou. At the same time, a large number of Dao Yi Palace, Yin Yang Zhengzong and even Tianyuan Shengzong Shangsan Realm experts appeared in Xuanzhou and Haozhou.

The battle at Mingyan Sea was actually a draw. The Eastern Heaven Daoist Clan won by sinking Mingzhou, which forced the allied forces of various sects to collapse. Now these people are gathered in Xuanzhou, Haozhou, and Cangzhou. It can be said that every step forward taken by the Eastern Heaven Daoist Clan is accompanied by the fall of the three upper realms and a large number of casualties in the middle and lower six realms.

With the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest and the Flood Dragon Sea now involved, the Xuanmen Calamity is becoming increasingly chaotic.

Jiang Sheng was listening quietly when Xuanjing Immortal Lord suddenly looked at him and said, "Lingyuan, you captured a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Flood Dragon Sea. He said they came under the command of Zizai Xuanjun."

"So, the Great Sage of the Flood Dragon and the Great Sage of the Vermilion Bird have reached some kind of tacit understanding with the Free and Unfettered Mystic Lord?"

As everyone's gaze turned to him, Jiang Sheng nodded: "I suspect that the reason why the Kaiyuan Patriarch has been delayed in arriving is perhaps because of those three interfering."

Jiang Sheng's words were undoubtedly accepted by everyone. Xuanjing Immortal Lord also nodded, then sneered, "The Kaiyuan Ancestor's profound laws are boundless. They can stop the Kaiyuan Ancestor for a while, but they can't stop him forever!"

"Moreover, the situation in the Nine Provinces is becoming increasingly clear. The ancestors are keeping Qian Tian Daojun and the others busy in the Chaos Star Sea, so we must seize the opportunity and take control of the remaining five provinces."

When he said this, Immortal Lord Xuanjing subconsciously ignored the wild and weak Yangzhou, and the people around him echoed him without considering the existence of Yangzhou.

At this moment, Yuan Yi Zhenjun said, "The Flood Dragon Sea and the Myriad Beasts Forest have dispatched four Mahayana cultivators at once. The others are not too bad, but we are clearly at a disadvantage in terms of Mahayana level."

Immortal Lord Chiyun asked, "Why not select a few Mahayana cultivators from those affiliated immortal sects?"

Jun Xiaoxianjun explained, “Fellow Daoist Chiyun, you may not know this, but the immortal sects affiliated with my Eastern Heaven Daoist family are actually dispatched in two batches. One batch is drawing manpower and resources to enter the Nine Provinces Realm with us, while the other batch is following the forces of my Eastern Heaven Daoist family outside, and is currently cleaning up the middle and lower thousand under the Qiankun, Huayun, and Kongdong families.”

"They're fighting fiercely over there right now, so it's difficult to spare manpower for the time being."

This time, in attacking the Nine Provinces Realm, they will not only target the three Pure Yang Holy Lands of Qiankun, Huayun, and Kongdong, but also the sects and families affiliated with them.

The so-called "breaking the mountain and destroying the temple" means not only attacking the mountain gate, but also destroying all its branch temples and sects outside to completely sever its incense lineage.

Once a great battle breaks out between the Pure Yang Holy Lands, it will be a fight to the death, with no mercy whatsoever.

Upon hearing Junxiao Immortal Lord's explanation, Chiyun Immortal Lord expressed his understanding.

However, the fact that no other Mahayana Immortal Lords can be mobilized in the short term is a real problem.

Suddenly, Jiang Sheng said, "Perhaps we really can spare a few Mahayana cultivators."

Hearing Jiang Sheng's words, everyone looked at him again. Jiang Sheng said, "It shouldn't be a problem to invite one or two Mahayana practitioners from the Demon Emperor's Palace, Tianlong Temple, and Jinchan Temple."

“In addition, I can invite Immortal Lord Huaguang to come.”

Huaguang Immortal Lord!

That was the Lord of Dongling Huazhou, bestowed by the Eastern Heavenly Daoist sect, the Emperor of Splendid Light.

This person is, after all, a Xuanmen Immortal Lord who has entered the Divine Path, and is originally a member of the Eastern Heaven Daoist School, so there is no harm in inviting him.

As for Jiang Sheng's suggestion to send more people from the Demon Emperor's Palace, Tianlong Temple, and Jinchan Temple, the Immortal Lords chose to put it aside for the time being.

Jiang Sheng neither confirmed nor denied this; he was merely offering some suggestions. Perhaps the immortal lords had already considered these matters, but they had other concerns.

Just as everyone was pondering where reinforcements might come from, Immortal Lord Junxiao of the Qinghua Dao Sect suddenly brightened up, revealing a look of delight: "Everyone!"

"I received a message from the Jade Pool Holy Land in the Kunlun Realm."

"The aid from the Jade Pool Holy Land has arrived!" (End of Chapter)
