Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

In the Nine Provinces Realm, the Eastern Heavenly Daoist School has gathered a total of fourteen Pure Yang level experts.

The allied forces from all walks of life also consisted of eleven Pure Yang cultivators.

If we include the fallen Emperor Yangyi Sichen and Daoist Kunhe, the Allied Forces of All Realms actually have thirteen Pure Yang beings within the Nine Provinces.

With so many pure Yang level beings converging in one realm, the calamity energy, already surging and gathering due to the Xuanmen Calamity, became even more bloated and terrifying, and the causal relationships intertwined from all sides became even more astonishing.

In such a karmic cycle, the emergence of a struggle for the Dao is perfectly normal.

The Crimson Cloud Dao Lord and the Flying Sun Dao Lord both wield the Great Dao of Fire, and thus they contend for the right and wrong of the Great Dao and the authority over it.

However, among these twenty-odd Pure Yang Daoists, it wasn't just Crimson Sky Daoist and Flying Sun Daoist who shared the same path.

For example, Daoist Yueheng and Daoist Dianxing of the Xuanhu Realm both uphold the Dao of the stars; Daoist Dejing and Daoist Hunxuan of the Xuanhuang Realm also both uphold the Dao of water and fire to understand Yin and Yang.
Compared to the realm of entering the Dao, the struggle for Dao is most obvious and direct in the realm of upholding the Dao.

Before the great calamity of the Xuanmen began, each sect was able to temporarily suppress it. Now, the great calamity envelops the chaotic universe, and the calamity energy sweeps across all the heavens and myriad realms. In this entanglement of cause and effect, even a pure Yang powerhouse will not let go of this excellent opportunity.

The fact that Daoist Chixiao chose the Eastern Heaven Daoist School and Daoist Feiyang chose to conspire with the Qiankun Daoist Sect, to some extent, was also for the sake of the struggle for the Dao.

Now, the two powerful Daoists are clashing with fire, and the other Pure Yang cultivators are naturally making way for them in this battle, allowing them to do as they please.

Just moments before, the Crimson Heaven Dao Lord's purple fire lotus blotted out the sky and clashed with the Flying Sun Dao Lord's vast crimson flames; the next moment, countless stars manifested across the universe, their dazzling starlight shining brightly.

As billions of stars coalesced into a sea of ​​stars, a solitary, upside-down star shone with mottled light within that vast expanse of stars. As a colossal hand encompassing the entire Nine Provinces descended, this solitary star was grasped in its palm.

"Holding the great star in hand, observing the sun and moon, yin and yang reversed, yet there is a peak."

"Yue Heng, your Star River Technique seems to be much weaker than my Star Sea Technique."

The laughter, like muffled thunder, shook the heavens and earth. The boundless star sea, where billions of stars gathered, seemed to come alive, constantly twisting and changing, forming a colossal Dao figure that reached the heavens and the earth.

It uses stars as its flesh and blood, Dao traces as its meridians, and laws as its skin, condensing into a majestic Dharma body comparable in size to the Nine Provinces.

The Daoist Lord of the Stars, the Pure Yang Master of the Dao Palace in the Realm of Healing, now revealed his magnificent Pure Yang body, comparable to the Great Thousand Worlds. He held the celestial stars in one hand and seized the sun and moon in the other, and showed a ferocious smile to Daoist Lord Yue Heng.

When the Way is in dispute, there is no distinction between first and last.

Since Dao Lord Chixiao and Dao Lord Feiyang have started a Dao struggle to compete for the Great Dao of Fire, why can't he, Dianxing, compete with Yue Heng for the Great Dao of Stars?
The vast expanse of starlight, like a dipper, descended, and the celestial radiance, like a ruler dividing the sea of ​​stars, seemed to freeze time.

This supreme treasure of pure yang, which stirs up the chaos of the starry sea and freezes time and space, is now being held by an indescribable giant hand.

This giant hand seemed to be woven from countless Dao seals and laws. The Dao seals were like bones, the Dao traces were like meridians, and the dense laws and starlight transformed into flesh and skin. Together with the pure Yang true meaning, it constructed this majestic pure Yang body that overlooked the vast world of the Nine Provinces and stood tall in the chaotic universe.

Standing within the Nine Provinces, one can only see this majestic true form covering the entire universe, wearing a crown of Zhou Tian Xing Dou (a type of celestial constellation) and a robe of Xing He Chen Han (a type of celestial robe), with a galaxy converging into a chain that wraps around the Taoist's body, radiating boundless mysterious light and immortal brilliance.

This majestic figure, standing tall amidst the chaotic universe with three Dao wheels hanging behind his head, is none other than Dao Lord Yue Heng.

At this moment, Daoist Yue Heng held the Heavenly Radiance Yang Ruler in one hand, splitting the chaotic star sea in front of him, and with the other hand, he formed a hand seal, gathering the power of the Great Dao and pressing it down on Daoist Dianxing in front of him.

Now that Kaiyuan Daojun, the Five Elements Great Sage, the Golden Cicada Bodhisattva, and the Tianyu Daojun and Tianxuan Daojun, all pure Yang beings, have entered the Nine Provinces Realm, the pure Yang powerhouses who were fighting in the Chaos Star Sea no longer have any scruples. They no longer need to care about the safety of the Nine Provinces Realm and have begun to unleash their divine powers and vent their pure Yang level power without restraint.

As the starry sea and radiance replaced the boundless flames that obscured the universe, two pure Yang beings, who also stood in the chaotic universe and were within the long river of time, made their moves simultaneously. The Starry Seal and the Whip of the Starry Sea collided with a deafening roar, and the thunder of the Great Dao caused the long river of time to surge with waves of countless years, submerging countless past and future.

The authority and laws of the Starry Sky clashed continuously, and the power of the same Great Dao manifested completely different aspects under the impetus of the two Dao Lords.

The Dao of Stars in the hands of Daoist Dianxing transforms into a boundless sea of ​​stars, inverting yin and yang and distorting time, turning into a mottled spear of starlight to nail down the destruction of time and space; the Dao of Stars in the hands of Daoist Yueheng uses starlight to create a galaxy, turning the galaxy into a ribbon that encircles the sky, sets the four directions, and commands all the stars.

Above the long river of time, the roar of the Great Dao and the collision of laws made the waves of time more and more intense. Those surging and turbulent waves of time, carrying the laws and intentions of Dao Lord Dianxing and Dao Lord Yueheng, constantly extinguished pieces of space and time, and segments of time.

Tracing back along the river of time, in every past era and every time and space where Daoist Dianxing and Daoist Yueheng resided, there were surging waves of time and collisions between these two powerful Daoists.

Unlike the intense fiery clash between Daoist Chixiao and Daoist Feiyang, the battlefield between Daoist Dianxing and Daoist Yueheng was not only in the present world, but also in the past, in the immeasurable past.

Wherever stars exist, wherever star magic manifests, there will be a contest between two beings at the Dao-holding realm.

As the two Dao Lords increasingly consolidated their control over the Dao of Stars, and as the laws of the stars continued to converge in their hands, the beings cultivating the Dao of Stars throughout the myriad realms of the chaotic universe were horrified to discover that they had lost their connection to the Dao of Stars and their comprehension of the laws of the stars. Not to mention the mortal beings in the lower and middle realms, even the Immortal Lords and True Lords in the upper three realms who cultivated the Star Laws were now sweating profusely: they could barely manipulate the power of the Great Dao of Stars, as if its power had been completely drained, leaving them only able to rely on their own magical power to cast Star Laws, which directly reduced their supernatural abilities by more than 50%.

Not to mention those who specialize in the Way of the Stars, even though they have mastered many laws of the stars, they still find it difficult to invoke the power of the Great Way of the Stars. This has caused almost all the beings of the Way of the Stars who are in seclusion practicing their techniques or participating in the demonstration of supernatural powers to suffer backlashes of varying degrees.

Some True Lords, while refining their magic, suddenly experienced a backflow of magical power that damaged their internal organs; some True Persons, while breaking through a bottleneck, suddenly suffered a backlash and their realm plummeted; some living beings, while refining magical artifacts, suddenly found their artifacts exploding; and some beings, while participating in the Great Dao, discovered a state of utter chaos.
No matter how they tried to manipulate the Great Dao of Stars and inscribe the laws of stars, there was either no response or a negligible reaction.

While the two Dao-holding Pure Yang beings were vying for control of the Dao of Stars, all other beings who cultivated the methods of Stars and practiced the Dao of Stars were reduced to powerless ants, only able to watch with awe and horror as the two powerful beings clashed in the chaotic universe.

At this very moment, in the chaotic universe, the battle for Dao is not limited to Dao Lord Yue Heng and Dao Lord Dianxing.
The struggle between Daoist Chixiao and Daoist Feiyang over the Dao of Fire; the struggle between Daoist Yueheng and Daoist Dianxing over the Dao of Stars; and the struggle between Daoist Dejing and Daoist Hunxuan over the Daos of Water and Fire.

This allowed all beings in the myriad realms who cultivated water magic, fire magic, star magic, and yin-yang magic to perceive what it meant to be insignificant and what it meant to possess the power of pure yang.

In an instant, wails of agony filled the heavens and myriad realms. Countless self-proclaimed immortals and those who relied on their supernatural powers realized at this moment how fragile and powerless they were.

Within the Nine Provinces Realm, Jiang Sheng quietly sensed the changes within himself. The water and fire, which were once as easy as his own arms, now seemed to have broken free from his control. The fire and water techniques were no longer at Jiang Sheng's beck and call; they seemed to have an owner and were beginning to break free from Jiang Sheng's control, following the consciousness of other beings.

If Jiang Sheng didn't possess the seeds of fire and water within his body, he probably wouldn't be able to control any water or fire magic at this point.

Not only Jiang Sheng, but also Yuan Yi Zhenjun beside him.

Jiang Sheng could sense that although Yuan Yi Zhenjun's cultivation level was still at the fifth tribulation, the originally flawless fire magic aura on his body was constantly dissipating and could not be sustained.

Surprisingly, under the clash between the two Daoist Pure Yang masters, Yuan Yi Zhenjun's fire magic was completely suppressed, and he couldn't even raise his head.

This made Jiang Sheng shocked by the control of the Dao and the laws by those who held the Dao, and he also felt something: if the laws he held and the path he practiced could be so easily suppressed by others, then what kind of laws did he cultivate and what kind of scriptures did he refine?
As he pondered, Jiang Sheng suddenly realized that although the Crested Ibis Demon Lord, who also practiced fire magic, was also affected, it was not as obvious as that of True Lord Yuan Yi.

It could even be said that the impact on the Crimson Ibis Demon Lord, who was at the Refining Void Realm, was far less than that on the Yuan Yi True Lord, who was at the Fifth Tribulation Realm.

It seems that the Crested Ibis Demon Lord was only suppressed by the Pure Yang Realm, but his own fire magic was not taken away in the slightest.

Sensing Jiang Sheng's gaze, the Crested Ibis Demon Lord laughed and said, "Ling Yuan, the method I cultivate is the Fire Separation from the Southern Brightness Supreme Heart Technique; the fire I cultivate is also the Southern Brightness Fire unique to my Southern Fire Divine Palace."

"The Southern Bright Fire is entirely under the control of my Divine Palace Ancestor. I will only lose my power if my Ancestor strips me of my bloodline and Dao Fruit. As for Sun Fire or Heavenly Fire, they are irrelevant to me."

Nanming Lihuo!

The king of flames in all the heavens and myriad realms!

Its controller is the Vermilion Bird Great Sage in the Southern Fire God Palace of the Zhu Ming Realm!

That Great Sage was also revered as the Supreme Being of Fire, and countless beings in all the heavens and myriad realms worshipped him as the Ancestor of Fire. As his descendant, the Crested Ibis Demon Lord controlled the Southern Bright Fire. His path was different from that of the Flying Sun Dao Lord and the Crimson Sky Dao Lord, so he was naturally the least affected by him.

Jiang Sheng pondered for a moment, and then suddenly grasped a glimmer of inspiration: "The methods and paths that others cultivate, to varying degrees, all have the former."

"Therefore, the more profound the method, the further the path it takes, and the greater the influence it has."

"My way, whether it is water and fire, or wind and thunder, although it seems to be the foundation, has actually evolved from the simple wind, thunder, water and fire into my four symbols, and then connects the three calamities and links yin and yang."

"Once I overcome the five tribulations of the Unity of the Body and attain the Five Elements Returning to the Origin, and use the Five Elements and Four Symbols to reconnect Yin and Yang, I can rebuild my foundation and transform wind, thunder, water, and fire into my final destiny and calamity."

"By reversing the three calamities, the four phenomena, and the five elements step by step, one can verify Yin and Yang, and observe the annihilation of calamities. Only when Yin and Yang and the annihilation of calamities jointly unfold the final cycle can one know the final calamity and understand the sword technique of interception."

"Therefore, the external phenomena of water and fire can be discarded, and I can leverage them through other methods!"

"Water and fire can be discarded, water and fire can be discarded."

"The barrier of inner fire, the method of immortality, why not discard it?!"

Jiang Sheng's mind raced, and the wondrous method of Yin-Yang Calamity, Three Transformations, and Five Elements was constantly in operation. The water and fire that were originally extremely difficult to mobilize were accelerated and intensified under the influence of wind and thunder, and finally transformed into turbulent wind, thunder, water, and fire that rose and evolved around Jiang Sheng.

Yuan Yi Zhenjun stared at Jiang Sheng in astonishment. Although he did not know why Jiang Sheng could still manipulate fire magic at this moment, he could sense that Jiang Sheng seemed to have seen through something.

In the darkness, the shackles and barriers that bound the inner fire vanished completely. (End of Chapter)
