Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

The net is azure-gold in color, imprinted with countless laws and condensed with immeasurable traces of the Dao.

It encompasses boundless horizons, covers the vast expanse of time, and gathers together the heavens and the universe.

As this net was cast over them, Dao Lord Yueheng, Dao Lord Dejing, Dao Lord Miaoyan, and Dao Lord Chixiao could clearly sense that the spacetime of all the heavens and myriad realms was constantly collapsing, and at the same time, their karma from the past and the future was also converging with this net.

"We can't let this trap fall!"

Daoist Dejing said in a deep voice: "This net binds time and space, gathers cause and effect. We, the pure Yang beings, have our life fruits stored in the long river of time, and can travel freely through the past and present."

"But if this net falls, we will be like fish caught in it, completely at their mercy!"

The Pure Yang level possesses an immortal soul, engraved on the pillar of the Chaos Great Dao; its life fruit is immortal, roaming in the long river of time.

Therefore, the Pure Yang powerhouses can travel back to the past or to the future. There are countless variables and possibilities in all the time and space of the myriad worlds. Even if they still have a breath left, they can make a comeback. Even if they are trapped in a desperate situation, they can still be free and at ease even if they abandon their bodies.

However, this net is different!
This net binds the variables and possibilities of the Pure Yang powerhouses, sealing off all kinds of time and space and the future. Therefore, once this net is cast, the past of Daojun Dejing and others is locked, and their future is also limited. No matter how much they manipulate fate or travel through time, their fate is destined to fall into the net.

This is the predetermined fate after the cause and effect have been brought to a conclusion.

Miao Yan Daojun immediately said, "Dejing, it's up to you."

Daoist Dejing nodded without saying much. He would not allow his destiny to be manipulated by Daoist Qiantian and the others. Daoist Dejing had already used the Water and Fire Refining Divine Scissors. Nothing was more useful than his Water and Fire Refining Divine Scissors for dealing with this kind of net-like magic weapon and formation.

The Water-Fire Refining Divine Scissors danced in Daoist Dejing's hands, the pure Yang treasure composed of blue and red colors resembling a butterfly spreading its wings and fluttering. As the Water-Fire Refining Divine Scissors moved, streams of law power flowed and condensed, coating the blades with a sharp edge.

In an instant, Daoist Dejing activated his magic technique, and the Water and Fire Refining Divine Scissors soared into the sky. As blue and red light slashed out in the air, it seemed as if a vast expanse of water and fire surged from the chaotic universe, converging into a pair of ethereal scissors that seemed to cut through the chaotic universe and pierce through the boundless expanse.

Before the azure net could fully cover the area, it was directly cut to pieces by the scissors formed by the convergence of the laws of the Great Dao. As the fragments of the azure net fell, Daoist Dejing stroked his beard and laughed, "Old man Qiantian, my Water and Fire Refining Divine Scissors are not only capable of manipulating water and fire."

Faced with Daoist Dejing's sarcasm, Daoist Qiantian's face darkened but he remained silent.

The renowned reputation of the Water and Fire Refining Divine Scissors, a supreme treasure of pure Yang, was something that Daoist Qian Tian had heard of. Not only had he heard of it, but he had also personally witnessed its power.

As the most famous magic weapon in the hands of Daoist Dejing, and also the pure Yang treasure that Daoist Dejing refined when he attained the Pure Yang realm, the power of the Water and Fire Refining Divine Scissors is self-evident.

This pure Yang treasure can not only draw upon the power of water and fire and summon the form of the Great Dao, but also condense the power of laws. The blade's sharpness, formed by various laws such as sharpness, breaking restrictions, shattering the void, and tearing through the sky, is enough to tear apart the barriers of space and time and break through the seals of laws.

Moreover, the Water and Fire Refining Divine Scissors are incredibly sharp, capable of breaking through magical restrictions and formations, and cutting through the laws of the heavens. In particular, their shape resembles scissors, giving them a unique restraining effect on net-like, bag-like magical treasures. No matter what kind of net, bag, or sleeve or robe it is, encountering the Water and Fire Refining Divine Scissors is like encountering a natural enemy, leaving them no choice but to be torn to shreds.

Taking this Azure Gold Net as an example, neither Daoist Chixiao's Crimson Sky Slaying Sword, nor Daoist Yueheng's Heavenly Radiance Righteous Yang Ruler, nor Daoist Miaoyan's Three Profound Jade Ruyi can achieve the same clean and efficient execution as Daoist Dejing's Water and Fire Refining Divine Scissors, nor can they manifest such power.

The restraining relationship between magical treasures may not seem significant within the Pure Yang level, but once a flaw is found, even the slightest defect can overturn a Pure Yang level.

At this moment, Qian Tian Dao Jun's expression was extremely ugly. He ruthlessly activated the Myriad Laws Profound Heaven Array Plate, drawing upon the winds of time and the fires of cause and effect, transforming them into an overwhelming wind and fire divine power that enveloped De Jing Dao Jun.

The fierce winds of time, when blown by them, cause lifespan to decline and the soul to decay; the fires of cause and effect, when burned by them, cause calamity to entangle the body and make everything difficult.

At this moment, the wind and fire blew towards Daoist Dejing, clearly intending to make him experience the consequences of his soul being exhausted and his movements becoming inconvenient.

In an instant, howling winds and raging flames filled the air. The Water and Fire Refining Divine Scissors were trapped in the winds and flames. The smooth, mirror-like magic weapon was covered in rust, and the sharp blade became pitted and uneven. The aura of the pure Yang treasure was constantly worn away by the winds of time and gradually dissipated under the burning of the fire of cause and effect. The pure Yang treasure was about to turn into rusty scrap iron.

At this moment, Daoist Chixiao calmly made his move. The Eight-Scene Glazed Lamp rose into the air, and Daoist Chixiao gently blew a breath, causing the vast purple heavenly fire to spread across the heavens and earth, forming a purple barrier that separated the chaos from the turbid.

Upon seeing this, Daoist Dejing immediately recalled the Water and Fire Refining Divine Scissors. Looking at the treasure that was emitting mournful cries, Daoist Dejing remained unmoved, simply wiping away the remaining power of time and karma on it before storing it away to nurture it.

Seeing this, Qian Tian Dao Jun laughed and said, "Old man De Jing, it's time to replace your precious scissors!"

Daoist Dejing snorted coldly: "Old man Qiantian, your tricks are no match for us."

"We may be trapped in this formation, but you can't get out either, can you?"

"Just watch, my Water and Fire Refining Divine Skill has only cut through your rotten net, that's just the first step. Next, I'll cut through your soul!"

As he spoke, Daoist Dejing flipped his hand and summoned the Nine-Stringed Qian Guang Whip. His true form, which had risen into the air in an instant, manifested and transformed into a towering pure yang body that stretched for billions of miles. The Nine-Stringed Qian Guang Whip in his hand was like a pillar that could move the sun, moon, and heavens, and it struck Daoist Qiantian head-on.

In an instant, the ground within the Myriad Laws Profound Heaven Array shook violently, as if the heavens and earth were about to collapse and split apart. With a deafening roar, boundless profound light and celestial splendor exploded forth.

The Nine Provinces Boundary, Cangzhou.

The five Mahayana-level immortals, Xuanjing Immortal Lord, Junxiao Immortal Lord, Chiyun Immortal Lord, Yuzhen Immortal Lord, and Huaguang Immortal Lord, looked at the magnificent array that shrouded the vast sky and earth, their eyes filled with worry.

The great formation originated from the edge of Cangzhou. It seemed to cover only a small area, but it connected the chaotic star sea above and the nine netherworlds below, truly linking the three realms of heaven, earth, and man in the Nine Provinces, making it truly difficult to break.

At this moment, the powerful beings of the Eastern Heaven Daoist sect and the various reinforcements were trapped in the great formation and could not get out for the time being, which put the five immortal lords in a difficult position.

It is unknown how Qian Tian Dao Jun and the others did it, but after this great formation was set up, only the Eastern Heaven Dao Family and their allies remained in the entire Nine Provinces Realm. As for the remnants of the Qiankun, Huayun, and Kongdong families, as well as the Tianyuan Holy Sect and other sects, they were all taken away by the great formation.

Currently, apart from mortal beings, the immortals of the Eastern Heaven Daoist sect cannot find a single enemy within the Nine Provinces realm. Moreover, this great formation cannot be broken by anyone below the Pure Yang level, which truly puts the immortals of each sect in a difficult position.

It wasn't that the immortal lords lacked confidence in their own Pure Yang Ancestor; it was just that the three great realms of the Suspended Pot Realm, the Nine Chambers Realm, and the Left Divine Realm were about to collide.

"The patriarchs are trapped and cannot get out for the time being, and the three great realms are about to collide with this Nine Provinces Realm."

"Given the current situation, how should we conduct ourselves?"

As Immortal Lord Chiyun raised the question, Immortal Lord Xuanjing, Immortal Lord Junxiao, and Immortal Lord Huaguang looked towards the vast sky and clouds that were gradually approaching from the east. At this moment, outside the Nine Provinces, there was a great world rushing towards them at high speed.

How vast is the world?

Moreover, countless beings live within it.

Apart from the intervention of a powerful being from the Pure Yang realm, who else could stabilize a Great Thousand World, and who else could reliably integrate these Great Thousand Worlds with the Nine Provinces Realm instead of causing them to shatter into pieces?
In any case, with their cultivation levels as Mahayana Immortal Lords, they were absolutely unable to stop it. Immortal Lord Yuzhen frowned deeply: "The current plan is either to wait for the patriarchs to break the formation, or we must take the initiative to attack!"

To take the initiative?!
Xuanjing Immortal Lord looked at Yuzhen Immortal Lord, then performed a Daoist bow: "Since Yuzhen Immortal Lord has proposed the method of taking the initiative, you must have some brilliant ideas. Could you explain them to me?"

Jade Immortal Lord bowed slightly, then said to the four Immortal Lords, "Greetings, fellow Daoists, please watch."

Following the direction pointed out by Yuzhen Immortal Lord, Xuanjing Immortal Lord, Junxiao Immortal Lord, Chiyun Immortal Lord, and Huaguang Immortal Lord looked and saw that it was the Xuanhu Great Thousand Realm that was about to collide with the Nine Provinces Realm.

But then I heard the Jade Immortal Lord speak eloquently: "The methods of today are nothing more than three."

"First, we should wait for the patriarch to break through the barrier; second, we should work together with the patriarch to break through the barrier."

"However, neither of these two methods is advisable for us, because this formation is the trump card of Daoist Qian Tian and others, their last resort, and it is by no means easy to break through; moreover, such a pure yang level formation cannot be shaken in the slightest by those of us who have not entered the pure yang level."

"Not to mention the current critical situation, if we remain in Kyushu, all that awaits us is the annihilation of both body and soul."

The four immortal lords nodded silently. Just as Immortal Lord Yuzhen said, the current situation was beyond the reach of those at the Mahayana level. The other juniors at the Integration and Refinement stages were like cannon fodder, unable to make a ripple in this battle of pure Yang realms.

If they were to actually wait for the three Great Thousand Realms to collide with them, even if they were at the Mahayana level and remained in the Nine Provinces Realm, they would only face certain death.

The calamity and destructive power unleashed by the complete annihilation and collapse of a great world would be unstoppable, not even by five Mahayana cultivators, let alone fifty.

Seeing that everyone agreed with her idea, Immortal Lord Yuzhen continued, "Therefore, it would be better for us to take the initiative."

"I borrowed Lingyuan's ideas for this method."

Lingyuan?!
Upon hearing Yu Zhen Xianjun mention Jiang Sheng, the four immortals paused for a moment, then immediately understood what Yu Zhen Xianjun meant.

Previously, Jiang Sheng had taken the current generation of disciples from various families to the Xuanhuang Realm. It was safer and more secure in the Xuanhuang Realm than in the Jiuzhou Realm. Not only could they earn opportunities and merits and accumulate resources and fortune in the Xuanhuang Realm, but they could also ensure their own safety and prevent their masters from having any concerns in the upcoming great battle.

Thinking of this, Immortal Lord Chiyun stroked his beard and laughed, "That kid Lingyuan may seem cold and aloof, but he is indeed quite clever."

Huaguang Immortal Lord smiled upon hearing this. Jiang Sheng had a closer relationship with him than with anyone else. Now that he heard the various immortal lords praising Jiang Sheng, Huaguang Immortal Lord was naturally pleased. After all, Jiang Sheng's excellence was more than just a benefit to him.

Immortal Lord Yuzhen continued, "Right now, the Suspended Pot Realm is about to collide with us. Including the Left Divine Realm and the Nine Chambers Realm, that makes three Great Thousand Realms. Moreover, the Huayang Realm is also a viable destination."

"With so many vast worlds, it's much safer than staying in this Nine Provinces Realm."

"If we can find a way to stop the collision with the Nine Provinces in other Great Thousand Worlds, we will have done a great service. If we cannot find one, we will have done our best."

"What do you fellow Daoists think?"

Immortal Lord Jun Xiao calmly said, "This method is feasible."

Immortal Lord Chiyun also said, "Agreed."

Xuanjing Immortal Lord sighed softly: "In this way, all living beings in the Nine Provinces Realm will suffer a calamity."

Upon hearing this, Immortal Lord Yuzhen remained unmoved: "If it is within our power, we will certainly help them. But if we cannot even protect ourselves, why should we care about them?"

"Have we caused enough calamities in this land of Kyushu?"

As Jade Immortal Lord said, the Eastern Heaven Daoists chose the Nine Provinces as the battlefield, which to some extent was to keep the enemy outside the country's borders. Fighting in the enemy's homeland is always better than fighting in one's own homeland, and there are also fewer concerns.

Xuanjing Immortal Lord's lips twitched upon hearing this. In fact, the reason why Tianyuan Realm was not chosen as the battlefield was because Tianhe Dao Sect had already regarded Tianyuan Realm as its own property and was unwilling to continue to destroy it. Now that Yuzhen Immortal Lord had said this, he really couldn't say anything more.

Seeing that Immortal Lord Yuzhen and Immortal Lord Xuanjing seemed about to argue over the matter, Immortal Lord Huaguang quickly said, "It's such a trivial matter, why are you all making such a fuss?"

"We now possess countless Dharma vessels of all kinds."

"At worst, we can just place some mortals on various Dharma boats and take them with us."

"Moreover, even if other realms crash in, the Nine Provinces Realm may not be completely destroyed. At least a part of it can be preserved, and these remnants can accommodate many mortal beings."

Huaguang Immortal Lord's words made Yuzhen Immortal Lord and Xuanjing Immortal Lord's expressions much better. Seeing this, Junxiao Immortal Lord and Chiyun Immortal Lord also echoed and made a decision, instructing the True Lords of each family to place mortals on the Dharma Boat, and at the same time to take in their respective disciples, followers, Dao soldiers and magical artifacts, and prepare to leave the Nine Provinces Realm.

While everyone else was busy and bustling about, several families in Yangzhou were facing a dilemma.

In the central region of Yangzhou, now within the Yin Shang Kingdom, Xiao Gong, the senior disciple of the Zhenxiao Sect in the Xiaoyun Realm, had lost her former dignified and elegant fairy demeanor. Her face was extremely ugly as she stared at Tu Shan Lian and Bin Miao before her and said in a deep voice, "Does that Xuan Nu Princess have any explanation?!"

"With the Nine Realms and the Left God Realm about to crash down on him, who can still remain calm?"

Since Xiaogong and Ye Wenshu reached a certain understanding, this fairy Xiaogong has been living peacefully in Yangzhou with her junior brothers and sisters, never getting involved in the battles between other states. Even when Yanzhou and Mingzhou fell one after another, she seemed not to have seen it.

The Pure Yang Dao Lords of the Eastern Heaven Daoist School, as well as the immortals of the Upper Three Realms, seemed to have overlooked Yangzhou, making it a rare paradise in the battlefield of the Xuanmen Great Calamity in the Nine Provinces Realm.

Originally, both Xiaogong and Tushan Lian were watching with amusement as the Eastern Heaven Daoist Clan and the allied forces of various sects fought to the death. But at this crucial moment, the allied forces of various sects disappeared, and the Eastern Heaven Daoist Clan was about to flee. Now, the Nine Provinces Realm is facing the danger of several Great Thousand Realms colliding, and they are in a bind.

Tu Shan Lian looked at Bin Miao beside her, but Bin Miao looked helpless: "Why are you looking at me?"

"Is His Highness's opinion something I can control?"

As everyone was locked in a stalemate, a cool, refreshing fragrance of plum blossoms wafted over. Everyone looked up and saw that it was Princess Xuan Nu who had appeared.

But Ye Wenshu remained calm and composed, radiating immense confidence.
"Don't worry, everyone, the sky won't fall down."

"That Myriad Laws Profound Heaven Formation is unbreakable by others, but I have a way to break it!" (End of Chapter)
