Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

A spatial rift sealed the universe, and seven sages descended to earth to obstruct the beginning of a new era.

At this moment, within the spatial rift, seven Dao-holding realm beings tightly surrounded Kaiyuan Daojun. Among them, Zizai Xuanjun, Tianxie Laozu, Zhuyan Dasheng, and Jiaolong Dasheng had all revealed their true forms, while three Pure Yang beings were still concealing their auras.

Seven Venerable Ones Upholding the Pure Yang!

This is the force that Zizai Xuanjun managed to summon to block the road.

The current Kaiyuan Daojun possesses extraordinary supernatural powers. After witnessing firsthand how the Great Sage of the Flood Dragon and the Great Sage of the Vermilion Bird were defeated by Kaiyuan Daojun despite fighting two against one, and how the Old Ancestor of the Heavenly Evil almost died due to overestimating his abilities, Zizai Xuanjun understood one thing: two or three Pure Yang Daoists could never suppress Kaiyuan Daojun.

Having realized this, in addition to the Great Sage of the Flood Dragon and the Great Sage of the Vermilion Bird in the Great Wilderness Realm, and the Heavenly Evil Ancestor in the Left Divine Realm, the Free and Unfettered Mystic Lord then invited three more Pure Yang Masters to join him in blocking the road.

At this moment, Zizai Xuanjun was full of confidence. Looking at Kaiyuan Daojun who was surrounded, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Kaiyuan, you rely on your cultivation and think that three or four fellow Daoists can't stop you. Therefore, you look down on all the fellow Daoists in the heavens and don't know how much karma you have provoked."

"You might as well calculate how many families you've offended over the years."

"Right now, there are not only fellow Daoists Jiaolong, Zhuyan, and Tianxie here, but upon hearing that you are going to prove the Dao of True Yang, fellow Daoists have immediately come to obstruct your path."

"Kaiyuan, your popularity is more than just a little bit lacking."

As Zizai Xuanjun spoke, Tianxie Laozu, who was already insane and had almost died at the hands of Kaiyuan Daojun, chuckled: "Kill, kill!"

"Attack together! Kill Kaiyuan! I want his eyes to mend my blind eye!"

As he spoke, the Heavenly Evil Ancestor was about to charge forward with his Heavenly Evil Five Poison Furnace, but the Great Sage of the Flood Dragon and the Great Sage of the Vermilion Bird did not rush forward. Instead, these two demon race Great Sages stared warily at the three Dao-holding beings beside the Free and Easy Mysterious Lord who had not revealed their auras.

Seeing this, the Heavenly Evil Ancestor stopped charging and stepped back, his one remaining cloudy eye looking around as if he were pondering something.

At this moment, the Great Sage of the Flood Dragon spoke up and asked, "Lord Zizai, where did you invite these three from? They seem somewhat familiar to me."

Zhu Yan the Great Sage did not speak, but gripped the crimson gold Hun Tian Cudgel tightly, ready to launch a surprise attack at any moment.

Seeing the Dragon Sage and the Zhu Yan Sage so wary, Zizai Xuanjun laughed and said, "You two great sages can rest assured. The person I invited is definitely your helper, and has no grudges with you."

"However, these three have been in seclusion in the depths of chaos for many years and rarely show themselves in the myriad worlds, so they are used to not revealing their aura."

It would have been better if Zizai Xuanjun hadn't said that; his words only made the two Great Sages more wary.

But Zhu Yan, the Great Sage, gripped his crimson-gold Hun Tian Cudgel, revealing a sinister grin: "Oh? Is that so?"

"I remember, 20,000 years ago, a half-human, half-demon appeared in my Great Wilderness Realm. That person was incredibly powerful. He took advantage of the ten-thousand-year calamity to turn the Great Wilderness Realm upside down, and when he left, he even plundered a batch of bloodlines from various royal courts."

"If I remember correctly, his title back then was something like Futian Daojun?"

As the Great Sage Zhu Yan uttered the name that had been deliberately erased by the Twelve Royal Courts of the Great Wilderness Realm, a figure beside the Free and Unfettered Lord slowly dissipated the magical power that had been concealing his divine sense, revealing his true appearance and aura.

The figure had disheveled hair, wore a robe with five auspicious symbols, had a dragon-patterned silk ribbon tied around his waist, was barefoot, had a smiling face, held a golden gem in his left hand, and carried a curled-up bone claw cane in his right hand.

He appears to be a dashing and unrestrained scholar, but upon closer inspection, one can discover that his eyes are unmistakably demonic, and something seems to be hidden in his disheveled hair. Moreover, his aura is both demonic and celestial, eerily strange.

Behind his head hung a triple wheel of blue, gold, and purple, and above his head hung a cloud of auspiciousness covering an area of ​​about one acre. There were no green lamps, silver cups, gold cups, or jade pendants, but there were gold and silver threads, and bone cups and glass floated.

Upon seeing this Daoist Futian, Daoist Kaiyuan's expression turned icy cold: "Futian, I felt his aura was so familiar!"

"Ten thousand years ago, someone in the Tianyuan Realm colluded with the Tianyuan traitors to kill Dexian!"

"At the time, I was caught up in the battle and could not track him down. After I got away, I could not find him anywhere."

As he spoke, Daoist Kaiyuan stared intently at the golden, gleaming chisel in Daoist Futian's left hand: "The First Chisel of Subduing Demons!"

"So it was you who killed Dexian!"

The Pure Yang Treasure of Tianhe Daozong Dexian Daojun is none other than the Subduing Demon Yuan Yi Zhuo!
However, Daoist Futian laughed nonchalantly, "You can't blame me for that. I spent ten thousand years in the depths of chaos, which was really boring, so I came out for a walk."

"When I arrived in Tianyuan Realm, I was delighted to see this jade pendant in Zong Dexian's hand. I asked him for it, but he wouldn't give it to me, so I had no choice but to take it by force."

"But taking his life was not my intention. It can only be said that the Tianyuan Holy Sect's Tianjue and Tianjiu came at a more opportune time."

"By the way, where are Fellow Daoist Tianjue and Fellow Daoist Tianjiu now?"

Looking at the indifferent Fu Tian Dao Jun, Zi Zai Xuan Jun coughed twice: "Tian Jue and Tian Jiu of Tian Yuan Sheng Zong were hunted down by Kai Yuan after that and died at Kai Yuan's hands."

Upon hearing this, Daoist Futian paused, and his expression toward Daoist Kaiyuan became somewhat strange.

The Heavenly Evil Ancestor added, "That old fox from Qingqiu also died at Kaiyuan's hands. If he gets away again this time, none of us will be able to get away with it!"

Upon hearing this, Daoist Futian already regretted his actions, but unexpectedly, the Great Sage of the Flood Dragon said again, "Futian, if you had just hidden in the depths of chaos after you stole the Heavenly Phoenix Bone from the True Phoenix Clan, that would have been fine. But now you actually dare to show yourself!"

"Do you really think the twelve royal families of the Great Wilderness Realm have no shame?"

As they spoke, the Great Sage of the Flood Dragon brandished the Heavenly Dragon Halberd of the Sea, stirring up the Great Dao of Water. Boundless, profound water condensed into a sea, about to press down on Dao Lord Futian. At this moment, a figure suddenly stepped between the Great Sage of the Flood Dragon and Dao Lord Futian. This figure performed a Buddhist salute and slowly said, "Fellow Daoists, it is better to resolve enmity than to create it."

"Moreover, with a powerful enemy at our side, why not give this humble monk some face first and convert Fellow Daoist Kaiyuan, and then we can discuss other matters?"

Upon hearing this, the Great Sage Zhu Yan sneered, "You coward who doesn't even dare to show your true face, yet you expect us to give you face? Who do you think you are?"

The figure sighed helplessly: "So be it, so be it. As the saying goes, if I don't go to hell, who will?"

"Although there are very few places in the myriad realms that can accommodate this humble monk, today, in order to resolve the karmic ties between a few fellow Daoists, this humble monk is willing to enter hell once."

As the light concealing his true appearance dissipated, a bald monk appeared before the Chunyang disciples.

The monk wore a five-Buddha garland crown and a brocade robe. He held twenty-four golden prayer beads in one hand and made a Buddhist gesture with the other. His face was serene and austere, like that of a compassionate Buddha.

But when the Heavenly Evil Ancestor saw it, his eyes widened as if he had seen something incredible, and even his madness subsided: "Demon Buddha Jin Wu?!"

"Didn't you say that you were converted by that person in the Hengsha Realm back then? How come you're still alive?!"

Upon hearing the four words "Jin Wu, the Demon Buddha of the Dao," both Kaiyuan Daojun, Jiaolong Dasheng, and Zhuyan Dasheng showed surprise, while Futian Daojun looked bewildered: "This fellow Daoist seems to be a renowned figure throughout the heavens."

"How can I not recognize you?"

Jin Wu then chanted a Buddhist prayer: "Jin Wu no longer exists."

“That person did indeed convert me on that day, but only my Dharma body was converted. Thanks to the benefactor Zizai, I was able to escape and be reborn in heaven.”

"Now, there is no longer a monk named Jin Wu from the Ganges River, only a monk named Wu Jue."

As Kaiyuan Daojun stared at this Buddhist Pure Yang who called himself Wujue, he recalled a past event in the heavens: In the past, in the Hengsha Realm, besides Jinjue who created the Bodhi Path, there was another powerful being who also opened up a completely new method.

However, that method was too heretical and unorthodox; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a demonic practice.

Therefore, when Jinjue discussed the Dao with that person, he eventually converted him with the Mahayana Buddhist path of Bodhi, and his lineage was erased by Dalingyin Temple.

Unexpectedly, the being that was rumored to have been converted and erased reappeared before his eyes.

Now, this Demon Buddha Wujue is actually a practitioner of the Dao!

At this moment, as Fu Tian Dao Jun and Mo Fo Wu Jue appeared one after the other, the last remaining figure said before everyone could even look at him: "Don't worry, everyone, I don't have the same great reputation as the previous two. I am just an ordinary little demon."

As he spoke, the light dissipated, and a figure who looked delicate and well-behaved, but had deer antlers on his head and wore a Taoist robe, appeared before everyone.

As Kaiyuan Daojun gazed at the figure, he felt increasingly familiar with it, but he couldn't recall its origins for the time being, as if its existence had been erased from the myriad realms and even the long river of time by an invisible force.

Zizai Xuanjun, however, smiled and introduced to everyone: "Twenty thousand years ago, Mo Xuan, the young master of the Qilin clan, died a violent death."

"I could not bear to see such a talented person die young, so I specially used the Heavenly Demon Path to revive him with my Seven Chapters Secret Scripture."

"But it seems that the one who has been resurrected is not Mo Xuan."

As he spoke, Zizai Xuanjun looked at the former young master of the Qilin clan.

He chuckled and said, "I am still Mo Xuan, but I am no longer a member of the Qilin clan. Just call me Heavenly Demon Mo Xuan."

Upon hearing this, whether it was the Great Sage of the Flood Dragon, the Great Sage of the Vermilion Bird, the Old Ancestor of the Heavenly Evil, or the Daoist Lord of Fortune and the Demon Buddha Wujue, they all looked at this person with astonishment: the young master of the Qilin clan had turned to the Path of the Heavenly Demon, so how amazing must his cultivation be!

Upon closer inspection, everyone was astonished to discover that this young master Mo Xuan's cultivation was also first-rate in the Dao, almost at its peak!

Zizai Xuanjun looked at Kaiyuan Daojun again and smiled, "Kaiyuan Daojun, I have solemnly summoned so many powerful figures, can this be considered as a sign of my high regard for you?"

As they spoke, Tianmo Moxuan, Mofo Wujue, and Futian Daojun all looked at Kaiyuan Daojun and unleashed their overwhelming Dao-holding pressure.

In an instant, three colossal Dharma images, reaching to the heavens and the earth, illuminated the chaos. As they ascended to the heavens, immeasurable power overflowed from the gaps in space and time, causing the entire desolate galaxy to tremble.

However, Lord Kaiyuan's expression remained unchanged.

Kaiyuan Daojun coldly swept his gaze over the group of Daoists around him: Jiaolong Dasheng, Zhuyan Dasheng, Tianxie Laozu, Futian Daojun who had been silent in the depths of chaos for tens of thousands of years, Mofo Wujue, and this Tianmo Moxuan.

Finally, Kaiyuan Daojun looked at Zizai Xuanjun with an indifferent expression: "Amokachi, do you know why I am the foremost in upholding the Dao?"

Zizai Xuanjun said leisurely, "Please enlighten me, Daoist Kaiyuan."

Kaiyuan Daojun slowly raised the Heavenly River Boundary Ruler: "Actually, I have never called myself the number one in upholding the Dao."

"However, as more and more Dao-holding realm cultivators were defeated by me and died at my hands, I gradually became known as the number one Dao-holding cultivator in everyone's eyes."

As he spoke, a powerful pressure far surpassing that of ordinary Dao-holding realm cultivators spread out. (End of Chapter)
