Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

He traversed countless miles in battle, his sword overwhelming countless armies.

Jiang Sheng explored the Central Region at noon and sped back to the Qi Kingdom in the Western Regions by evening.

Jiang Sheng traveled almost the entire Luzhou, a vast world, in just one morning. This is how immortals travel to the North Sea and then to Cangwu.

For immortals of the three realms above, traveling through a thousand worlds in a single day is truly not an exaggeration.

Upon returning to the State of Qi, Jiang Sheng went straight to the abode of the Jade Immortal.

At this moment, Immortal Lord Yuzhen had just finished worshipping the scarecrow and shot a third arrow at the scarecrow named Azure Wave Dragon King.

As the invisible curse vanished without a trace, Immortal Lord Yuzhen slowly turned around and stepped down from the high platform: "Young Lingyuan, did you find anything this time?"

Jiang Sheng recounted his experiences to Immortal Jade Virtue and concluded by saying, "In my opinion, there is clearly a gap between Azure Wave Pool, Dragon Sea, and Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts."

"I did not conceal my presence along the way, but apart from the great demon of Bibo Pool showing up, neither Jiaolong Sea nor Wanshou Forest offered any assistance, nor did I see any trace of Qiankun Dao Sect or Yuanyang Dao Sect."

"If this was done intentionally by the Azure Wave Pool, then it can only mean that the Azure Wave Dragon King is no longer able to show his face."

Upon hearing this, Immortal Lord Yuzhen smiled and said, "That old man Bibo, he was already in a deadly situation when he entered the Nine Provinces Realm this time."

"There is no pure yang existence to suppress his destiny in the Azure Wave Pool. How could a Mahayana cultivator not be blinded by the calamity when he barges into this calamity that sweeps across the heavens?"

"That old man Bibo is doomed to die. Once he's dead, I will make Yuanjun intervene and have his soul cast into the Golden Lotus Transformation Pool of my Yaochi, so that my Yaochi Peach Tree of Immortality can gain a bit more dragon energy."

It seems that even the fate of the Azure Wave Dragon King after death is predetermined, and it's unknown why he confidently threw himself into the Nine Provinces Realm.

As Yu Zhen Xianjun spoke, she looked at Jiang Sheng with increasing satisfaction: "This time, Lingyuan has made another contribution. Among the younger generation, you are the busiest."

"Would you be willing to come and stay at my Jade Pool for a while? Perhaps I can tell you a story of destiny."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Sheng's expression changed, and he repeatedly declined and took his leave.

Upon seeing this, Immortal Lord Yuzhen laughed and said, "Very well, there's no need for you to stand guard here anymore. Old Man Bibo's fate is already sealed. Even if he shows himself, he will not escape death and annihilation."

"You may act freely. I have already discussed it with Fellow Daoist Chiyun. In a few days, when your Mahayana disciple from the Eastern Heaven arrives, that will be the day our entire army marches out."

The Mahayana of the Eastern Heaven.

Jiang Sheng understood immediately; it was Huaguang Immortal Lord, or rather, Huaguang Puzhao Emperor.

Although this person holds a divine status, he is a true immortal being, at the Mahayana level, and is close to Penglai and Jiang Sheng.

This visit is good news for both Jiang Sheng and Penglai.

Knowing that Immortal Lord Huaguang was about to arrive, Jiang Sheng suddenly had nothing to do. His disciples, including Tian Ming'an, Qiu Buyu, Li Jianchun, and Huang Ping'an, were all fighting on the front lines, vying for their own opportunities. Lin Fan, Senior Brother Lingwei, Senior Sister Lingyu, and Junior Sister Lingqiu were also competing for their own destiny in various places.

Jiang Sheng, on the other hand, had a few more days to spend cultivating his magic on the Yaochi flagship while waiting for an opportunity to provide support to various places.

None of Penglai, Chixiao, or Yaochi had any objections to this. Everyone could see who had contributed the most. Now that Jiang Sheng was willing to rest for a while and give them the opportunity, they were overjoyed and had no reason to object.
Moreover, each True Lord has their own rest time and won't be constantly fighting on the front lines. Jiang Sheng's rest this time is less than seven days; it's more like he's just catching his breath.

Even so, Jiang Sheng was unable to calm down.

It was either the White Netherworld Lord and the Four Seas True Lord visiting together, or the Crested Ibis Demon Lord coming to his door, as well as Kong Zhen, Jin Qiong, Guang Wen, and Guang Hui. There were many people coming to Jiang Sheng's door to chat. Although it was not peaceful, Jiang Sheng was happy to listen to these fellow Daoists talk about their experiences and interesting stories, and discuss the progress of the battles on various fronts.

Five days passed leisurely like this. Jiang Sheng, who was presiding over the Dharma Boat on the main ship of Yaochi, suddenly sensed the arrival of several extremely familiar auras.

Suddenly realizing something, Jiang Sheng rushed out of the main hall and looked up.

Suddenly, a patch of auspicious white clouds appeared in the distance.

Auspicious clouds stretched for tens of thousands of miles, with cranes circling above and mythical beasts leaping about. A large number of children and warriors guarded a cloud chariot, which was adorned with the Seven Stars, engraved with constellations, and radiated a dazzling, flowing light.

On either side of this cloud chariot, there were seven True Lords.

Jiang Sheng was very familiar with the auras of those seven True Lords: True Lord of Myriad Laws, True Lord of Spiritual Void, True Lord of Immortal Feathers, True Lord of Yin Moon, True Lord of Bright Appearance, True Lord of Great Elephant, and True Lord of Righteous Yang!
Those were the seven fellow Daoists Jiang Sheng met in the Spiritual Realm.

With these seven appearing, the identity of the being on the cloud chariot became obvious: the Lord of the Three Realms and the Eastern Spirit Continent, the Great Emperor of Universal Illumination.

As Jiang Sheng appeared, Immortal Lord Huaguang also sensed his presence. Although they were far apart, his clear and gentle laughter could be heard: "Is it young friend Lingyuan here?"

Jiang Sheng soared into the sky on a cloud. As Jiang Sheng arrived, the boy warriors standing on the clouds made way for him. Jiang Sheng first met with the seven True Lords, and then walked to the cloud chariot. He looked at the Immortal Lord wearing the Eastern Flower Robe and the Emperor's Crown and bowed: "Immortal Lord, it has been a long time."

Huaguang Immortal Lord laughed and said, "Indeed, since I was tricked into the Three Realms by you, young friend, you have rarely come to Linghua Continent to see me."

Although he knew that Huaguang Immortal Lord was joking, Jiang Sheng still blushed a little: Indeed, since Linghua Realm and Huaguang Immortal Lord entered the Three Realms Great Thousand World, Jiang Sheng had rarely met Huaguang Immortal Lord. It was really a bit outrageous that Huaguang Immortal Lord had helped him so much.

This forced Jiang Sheng to apologize: "I am ashamed, I am ashamed. It was my oversight that I troubled the Immortal Lord with his concern."

Huaguang Immortal Lord laughed heartily: "Young friend, you are a busy person, unlike me who is idle." "Even in Dongling Huazhou, I know that in recent years you have traveled east out of the Chaos and west across the universe, wandering around Tianyuan Realm, Jurong Realm, and Buzhou Realm, and have encountered many dangers."

"I am not as good as you, young friend. I am just an idle person who can only practice magic and discuss the Dao in Dongling Huazhou. Occasionally I go to the Eastern Heaven to chat with a few immortals. I am not as hardworking as you, young friend."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Sheng was truly at a loss for words: "Immortal Lord, I haven't had the chance to enjoy this carefree and leisurely immortal life yet."

Zhengyang Zhenjun laughed and said, "We who seem to be living carefree lives are still wasting our time in the Refinement of Emptiness stage, while Fellow Daoist Lingyuan, who is busy, has already reached the Integration stage. It's not certain who will envy whom."

Amidst laughter and conversation, the initial discomfort of meeting had vanished. After all, they were fellow cultivators who had fought side by side and were familiar with each other. Although there was some distance between them at first, they quickly returned to their close relationship.

After the discussion, Immortal Lord Huaguang said, "The real reason I came here is to help Zhengyang and the others seize an opportunity."

“I have now reached the Mahayana realm and can no longer advance in my lifetime, but they still have hope and cannot stagnate in Linghua Continent forever.”

"Let them go through more tribulations and compete for their fortune. When they attain a suitable position in the future, I will strive to help them achieve it."

Zhengyang Zhenjun and the others were all moved upon hearing this. In the end, Huaguang Xianjun had no need to get involved in this calamity. After all, in this calamity that swept through all the Xuanmen sects and even Chunyang would perish, what was Mahayana?
But Immortal Lord Huaguang still came, not only because of his connection with Penglai Dao Sect and Jiang Sheng, but also because he wanted to secure a future for his disciples.

Seeing this, Jiang Sheng said, "Immortal Lord, rest assured, Dongling Huazhou belongs to Penglai. The Heavenly Venerable has seen that you have brought seven fellow Daoists here. Given the opportunity, the seven fellow Daoists will surely be able to advance further."

"Moreover, after this calamity, all the various sects will merge into the Three Realms. With the heavens and the seas vast, how could we possibly lack a position?"

Just then, a laugh rang out: "Could it be Fellow Daoist Huaguang in person?"

Everyone turned to look, and there stood the Crimson Cloud Immortal Lord.

Upon seeing Immortal Lord Chiyun arrive, Immortal Lord Huaguang stepped forward to greet him: "This humble Daoist Huaguang greets Fellow Daoist Chiyun. I trouble Fellow Daoist Chiyun to welcome me."

Immortal Lord Chiyun laughed and said, "Not at all, Fellow Daoist Huaguang has come from afar, it is only right that I, this humble Daoist, welcome him."

"To be honest, it's not very pleasant to chat idly in the heavens. I've already instructed the crew to prepare a feast on the main ship of Yaochi. Fellow Daoist Huaguang, why don't we continue our conversation there?"

Huaguang Immortal Lord nodded and smiled, "When a guest is at home, the host will make his way. Fellow Daoist Chiyun, please."

The main ship of Yaochi, the magnificent main hall.

As the only sacred Xuanmen in all the heavens and myriad realms where all cultivators are female, Yaochi's Dharma boat is also exceptionally elegant. Screens and painted fans can be seen everywhere in the main hall, and phoenixes and splendors are engraved on the pillars. Lotus seas and banyan trees are carved on the walls on both sides, and koi carp leap in the clear pond, with the moonlight reflecting on the jade toad.

The scene is like that of a celestial being, magnificent and awe-inspiring.

At this moment, in this main hall, all the True Lords of the Upper Three Realms of Penglai, Chixiao, and Yaochi in Cangzhou were present, and Huaguang Immortal Lord, Chiyun Immortal Lord, and Yuzhen Immortal Lord were also seen in front of him.

However, because Jade Immortal Lord had to guard the altar, he only came in his Dharma body. In fact, most of the True Lords in this hall only came in their Dharma bodies, while their true selves were still sitting in various places.

Only Jiang Sheng and a few others were relatively free, and they were actually there to attend the banquet.

As bells and chimes resounded, and strings and bamboo instruments played, with zithers, lutes, and pipa each playing celestial music, amidst the lingering fragrance, a water curtain reflected the various dances and performances.

Enjoying the music and dance, Immortal Lord Chiyun said to Immortal Lord Huaguang, "Let me let you know that in this Cangzhou region, we have four opponents: Qiankun Dao Sect, Yuanyang Dao Sect, Wanshoulin, and Jiaolonghai."

"Among them, the Qiankun Dao Sect is presided over by Daoist Wanxian, and the Yuanyang Dao Sect is presided over by Daoist Dongri; while the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest and the Flood Dragon Sea are presided over by four demon lords, namely the Long-Armed Golden Ape, the Black-Winged Red Demon, the Overturning Sea Dragon King, and the Azure Wave Dragon King."

Immortal Lord Huaguang asked suspiciously, "That Azure Wave Dragon King, isn't that the Azure Wave Pool in the Great Wilderness Realm?"

Immortal Lord Chiyun laughed and said, "It is indeed the old dragon of the Azure Wave Pool."

"And this is the key to our victory in this great battle."

"Fellow Daoist, do you know why the true form of Immortal Lord Yuzhen is no longer present?"

Immortal Lord Huaguang shook his head.

Immortal Lord Chiyun explained, "Immortal Lord Yuzhen is currently presiding over the altar and is casting the Seven Arrows Nail-Head Technique on the Azure Wave Dragon. Three arrows have already been nailed, and the fourth arrow will be nailed the day after tomorrow."

"At that time, the Azure Dragon will be crippled and unable to influence the battle."

"We only need to deal with five Mahayana cultivators. I can hold off two of them. Fellow Daoist Huaguang and Fellow Daoist Yuzhen only need to stop two of them. The remaining one will be stopped by True Monarch Yuanyi of Penglai."

"The Great Sun Golden Mace in the hands of True Lord Yuanyi is a refining artifact by a Dao Lord. It can unleash the power of a Mahayana cultivator and is enough to stop a Mahayana cultivator."

Upon hearing this, Immortal Lord Huaguang understood that if the five Mahayana cultivators from Cangzhou were stopped, then the remaining people would not be able to withstand the onslaught of the Eastern Heaven Daoist forces.

After speaking, Immortal Lord Chiyun revealed a mysterious smile: "Moreover, we have a trump card. In recent days, the immortal craftsmen of the Heavenly Mystery Hall have restored the Jade True Taiyi Heaven to about 70-80%."

"Even if something goes wrong, it can still turn the tide of the battle." (End of Chapter)
