Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

In the vast and boundless world, the aura of calamity stirs the heavens.

After a century of turmoil, the Nine Provinces Realm was finally on the verge of collapse.

As the five holy lands of Penglai, Qinghua, Tianhe, Chixiao, and Yaochi began to relocate their disciples and recall the Dao soldiers stationed in various places, even the mortals of the Nine Provinces knew that a cataclysmic disaster was about to befall them.

After all, the four Great Thousand Realms—Xuanhu Realm, Xuanhuang Realm, Jiushi Realm, and Zuoshen Realm—are visibly getting closer and closer to the Nine Provinces Realm. Even mortals can see the boundless black curtain shrouding the sun when they look up. Moreover, beyond the four Great Thousand Realms, another Mountain and Sea Realm is about to collide with them.

Caught between the five great worlds, no one thought the Nine Provinces Realm could survive.

When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact. Under such a catastrophe that destroys heaven and earth, the already turbulent Nine Provinces Realm is even more engulfed in human calamities.

Whether they are ordinary people, independent cultivators, scions of noble families, or members of sects, everyone is vying for a "ticket" to escape.

The actions of the five holy lands of the Eastern Heaven Daoist School were not concealed. Everyone knew that in addition to taking away their own disciples and followers, the Eastern Heaven Daoist School would also take away a group of mortals. This was the mercy of the immortals and gods, but how many living beings were there in the Nine Provinces?
Even though Yanzhou and Mingzhou have fallen one after another, the number of living beings in the remaining seven states is still countless. Which continent does not have hundreds of trillions or even trillions of mortal beings?

With so many mortal beings, even if all the hundreds of thousands of magic ships of the Five Holy Lands were used, it would be impossible to take them all away. Not to mention that the Five Holy Lands mostly possess magic ships of the Changqu and Tianxing classes, which are hundreds or thousands of miles long. The Hengxu class, with a range of millions of miles, is already few, and there are only five Xuanyuan class flagships with a range of over three million miles, four of which are still hovering in the sky.
Moreover, according to rumors, the mortals taken away by the Eastern Heavenly Daoist family will be settled within their own territory. This means that the Eastern Heavenly Daoist family's "ticket" is not only a ticket to escape, but also a ticket to live and work in peace and contentment in another great world.

Who would willingly wander outside under the protection of the Pure Yang Holy Land?

At this time, not only were disciples from different sects fighting each other for the "tickets," but even cultivation families were rife with depravity. These scenes, witnessed by the three realm immortals of the Eastern Heaven Daoist School, evoked not only helplessness at the most primal desires of humanity, but also a faint sense of apology.

As for their contempt and ridicule of the common people, the upper three realms of the Eastern Heaven Daoist School are not so low. After all, the common people of the Nine Provinces should not have suffered this calamity of displacement and migration, nor should they have faced the situation of their families being destroyed and their lives lost. It was the Eastern Heaven Daoist School that failed to consider things thoroughly, resulting in the suffering of the people.

"Father abandons wife and children, children kill their parents."

"It's more than just natural disasters and man-made calamities. If the Nine Provinces Realm weren't still at the center of the calamity, those demons would probably have already wreaked havoc across thousands of miles without restraint."

High above, the Moon Sword Fairy looked down at the tragedy in the city below. She wanted to help, but in the end she let out a helpless sigh. She could save one city, but could she save ten or a hundred?

And in this entire Luzhou region, there are countless cities like this; how could she possibly save them all?

"There are only two paths to save all living beings in the Nine Provinces."

"Either we persuade everyone to give up their own grottoes to accommodate mortals, or we have no choice but to stop those massive worlds from crashing in."

"Other than that, there is no other way."

As the cold voice rang out, Fairy Moon Sword looked up and saw that it was none other than True Lord Cang Jing of the Crimson Cloud Dao Sect.

The True Monarch at the Integration Realm remained calm, showing no trace of pity: "Moon Sword Fairy, the suffering of the people in the Nine Provinces Realm is better than the suffering of the people in the Cangwu Realm and the Kunlun Realm."

"In the end, we are simply not skilled enough to save everyone."

Moon Sword Fairy nodded: "Indeed, apart from the Mahayana Immortal Lord, who else can carry a grotto-heaven with them?"

"Even if the five Immortal Lords opened up their grotto-heavens, how could they possibly accommodate all living beings?"

Although beings in the three upper realms can open up their own grotto-heavens, these grotto-heavens are merely dependent on the Great Thousand World. If one wants to carry their own grotto-heaven with them, they should first achieve the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top and the Five Qi Converging at the Origin.

Even a Mahayana Immortal Lord who has achieved the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top and the Five Qi Converging at the Origin still has limited cultivation. After all, a Mahayana Immortal Lord is only the limit of a Middle Thousand World, and a Mahayana Immortal Lord's cave heaven is already quite good if it can accommodate one ten-thousandth of the beings in a Middle Thousand World. As for the Great Thousand World, how can it be compared to a Middle Thousand World?

The vast majority of living beings in this Nine Provinces are destined to be abandoned unless a miracle occurs.

"Ugh"

As Fairy Moon Sword was sighing, she suddenly noticed that True Lord Cang Jing's expression was a little strange. She looked at him suspiciously and saw that True Lord Cang Jing's face changed from astonishment to surprise and finally to ecstasy.

These changes in expression happened in less than a moment, truly showing Fairy Moon Sword another side of this aloof True Lord.

"Moon Sword Fairy!"

"Ok?"

"Your ancestor has descended to earth!"

"Um?!"

The Moon Sword Fairy suddenly looked up and saw that above the sky and sea of ​​clouds, boundless rosy clouds and auspicious mists dispelled the gloom, and vast golden light and mysterious radiance descended, as a graceful and noble female immortal slowly descended to the mortal realm.

Above his head floated auspicious clouds, behind his head shone a radiant wheel of Taoism, beneath him lay a cloud bed, and his body was surrounded by various colors.

How could the Moon Sword Fairy not recognize this female immortal?

Our own ancestor has truly descended!
Overwhelmed with excitement, Fairy Moon Sword bowed respectfully, saying, "Welcome, Ancestor, to the mortal realm!"

At the same time, the fairies in the sacred lands of Yaochi throughout the Nine Provinces were also extremely excited and bowed in worship: "Disciples respectfully welcome the Ancestral Master's descent to the mortal realm!"

As the disciples of Yaochi from the six provinces of Cang, Jun, Bian, Xuan, Hao, and Zhu shouted in unison, the chaotic situation in the Nine Provinces suddenly cleared up.

As the masses looked up, they saw the golden sun stretching across the sky, and the supreme, noble, pure, and profound aura of pure yang permeated the heavens and earth. A powerful being of pure yang, holding a golden bottle in his left hand, a magic sword in his right, and a precious mirror floating behind his head, slowly descended to the mortal realm.

The masses could not see its face clearly, nor could they distinguish its form, nor could they discern its voice. But the instant this Pure Yang power appeared, all beings who saw it, whether they were immortals of the upper three realms, cultivators of the middle and lower six realms, or mortals with no foundation in cultivation, had the name of this Pure Yang power appear in their hearts:

Taiyi Yuzhen Zhisheng Yuanling Jinmu Daojun.

When the Jade Maiden Immortal of the Jade Pool Holy Land saw his ancestor descend to the mortal realm, he was extremely excited: "With the ancestor descending to the mortal realm, there is still hope for the Nine Provinces!"

Meanwhile, in Yangzhou, Fairy Xiaogong looked quite displeased: "Your Highness Xuan Nu, why is it this being who has descended to the mortal realm?"

Not to mention Xiaogong, Tushan Lian was already trembling with fear. Although this Golden Mother Yuanjun had a past relationship with the Great Sage of their Tushan Holy Land, this Yuanjun might not be able to tolerate them.

As for Binmiao, he was already thinking about how to die in order to escape.

If Tu Shan Lian was merely trembling, and Xiao Gong was gripped by fear, then Bin Miao was like a snowflake, about to melt away instantly under the blazing sunlight of the Pure Yang Dao Lord. It didn't want to be evaporated by the Pure Yang Dao Lord; it wanted to live!
Ye Wenshu looked at the three nervous people, but her expression remained normal: "Although there were some unexpected events, my plan is still operating normally overall."

Fairy Xiaogong was stunned for a moment, then seemed to sense something, and couldn't help but show a look of joy: "Ancestor?!"

Upon hearing this, Tu Shan Lian and Bin Miao quickly looked up and saw that as the Golden Mother Yuanjun descended to the mortal realm, another golden sun shone brightly, dispelling the gloom.

The golden sun shone brightly in the sky, calming the panic across billions of miles. A Daoist lord, adorned with a jade crown and brocade robes, slowly emerged, and the name of this powerful Pure Yang being appeared in the hearts of all beings:

Taiyi Yuzhen Sanhua Xiaoying Qiongyun Daojun.

The Pure Yang Ancestor of the True Cloud Dao Sect in the Cloud Realm also appeared!
As this Daoist Lord appeared, Immortal Lord Yuzhen, Immortal Lord Chiyun, and even Immortal Lord Xuanjing, Immortal Lord Junxiao, and Immortal Lord Huaguang all looked hesitant: Why did this person appear at this time?

If the appearance of the Golden Mother Primordial Sovereign brought immense joy to the immortals of the Eastern Heaven Daoist School, then the appearance of the Qiongyun Daoist Lord left them filled with doubt and uncertainty.

After all, this Qiongyun Daojun doesn't have a very good relationship with the Eastern Heaven Daoist family.

At this moment, with the arrival of Daoist Qiongyun, Daoist Chunyang appeared in Yangzhou in a flash.

A Pure Yang Dao Lord at the Dao-holding realm appeared before them. Tu Shan Lian and Bin Miao felt an invisible pressure enveloping them. This pressure posed no threat, yet it prevented them from having any thought of resistance. The absolute difference in their ranks exposed everything about them to this Dao Lord. Let alone the thought of resistance, they felt only reverence in their hearts.

In contrast to Tu Shan Lian and Bin Miao, Xiao Gong Xian Zi and Ye Wen Shu are in much better condition.

Qiongyun Daojun first looked at Xiaogong's precious true disciple, then at the remaining disciples, and then nodded in satisfaction: "Good boy, you did a good job and protected the sect's disciples."

Xiao Gong looked ashamed: "Ancestor, this disciple failed to make any further progress during the great calamity."

Qiongyun Daojun laughed and said, "Advancement? What kind of advancement do you need?"

"Should we study the Qiankun Dao Sect, or the Dao Yi Palace, the Yin Yang Orthodox Sect, or the Yuan Yang Dao Sect?"

"Those who seek to advance further in the great calamity will not even find peace in death. What is the point of learning from them?"

"This calamity was never meant for us. We should be grateful if we can even get a taste of the good fortune. Why should we risk our lives?"

As she spoke, Daoist Qiongyun looked at Ye Wenshu and asked, "What do you think, Your Highness Xuan Nu?"

Ye Wenshu was not afraid of Qiongyun Daojun. This heroic and valiant goddess remained calm and composed, neither humble nor arrogant: "Wenshu is merely a Qingchi rank fruit, unworthy of the title of Your Majesty the Emperor."

Faced with Ye Wenshu's mention of the "Emperor", Daoist Qiongyun stroked his beard and smiled: The reason he submitted to that Emperor was not only because the Eastern Heaven Daoist family already had two allies who didn't want him, but also because of the Emperor's promise of the position of Emperor.
That is no ordinary Emperor's title; it is a pure Yang title of a Daoist master, who is entitled to enjoy abundant fortune and merit in the Three Realms.

With the end of the Xuanmen Calamity, all Xuanmen sects will merge into the Three Realms. At that time, the various sects of the unorthodox and divine paths, as well as the Buddhist sects, will return one after another. When the Ancestral Realm reappears, Heaven knows how profound the Heavenly Court's fortune and merit will be. Being able to secure a position in advance and enjoy the fortune and merit will already be enough.

After all, there are only a few Dao-holding realms born in the Three Realms and the Great Thousand World. He would be lucky to have even one of the nine Dao-holding realms: the Four Emperors, the Five Elders, and so on.

With this thought in mind, Daoist Qiongyun smiled and said, "I am not yet worthy of the title of Xuan Nu Di Jun. It will not be too late to discuss this after the Xuanmen Calamity ends and I return to the Heavenly Court."

As he spoke, Daoist Qiongyun looked at Ye Wenshu and Xiaogong: "The matter outside the Nine Provinces is over. That person is about to descend to the mortal realm. It would be best for that little fox and that Heavenly Demon to disappear as soon as possible, lest that person find some excuse to do so."

That one?

Ye Wenshu and Xiao Gong both felt a chill run down their spines. The only person who could make Qiongyun Daojun, the Dao Lord, so serious was the protagonist of this Xuanmen Calamity, the next Xuanmen Heavenly Venerable appointed by the two Heavenly Venerables of the Eastern Heaven Daoist School, and known as the number one Dao Lord, Kaiyuan Daojun.

Ye Wenshu dared not be negligent and immediately said, "Please, Your Majesty, help us cover for us."

Qiongyun Daojun looked at Tushan Lian and Binmiao. One was a fox from the Tushan Holy Land, and the other was a heavenly demon who seemed to have the aura of Zizai Xuanjun. Both of them had some background. More importantly, the fact that these two could get involved with Ye Wenshu might be due to the Emperor's authorization.

After pondering for a moment, Daoist Qiongyun sighed and said, "Very well, I will take them away for now and release them after this calamity is over."

With that, Daoist Qiongyun waved his sleeve and took Tushan Lian and Binmiao away. Then he looked to the east with an extremely serious expression: "That one has arrived."

Xiao Gong and Ye Wenshu followed Qiong Yun Daojun's gaze and saw an endless sea of ​​stars suddenly appear in the sky, with vast star rivers flowing and countless cycles of time turning.

Amidst the starlight and time, a golden sun slowly descended upon the mortal realm. Its vastness far surpassed that of Qiongyun Daojun and Jinmu Yuanjun. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that such an aura was comparable to that of a half-step Dao Master.

At this moment, as the blazing sun descended upon the mortal realm, the immortals of the Eastern Heavenly Daoist sect erupted in thunderous cheers, so much so that even though Ye Wenshu and Xiaogong were in Yangzhou, they could hear the sounds from other major states.

The immortals of the Eastern Heavenly Daoist sect all shouted in unison, "Welcome to the mortal realm of the Kaiyuan Daoist Lord!"

Tianhe Dao Sect, Taiyi Yuzhen Xuanfa Tongtian Kaiyuan Daojun!
This foremost Daoist has descended upon the mortal realm once more!
As that towering, majestic figure descended upon Cangzhou, a resounding voice echoed throughout the Nine Provinces: "The enemies of Chaos have all been eliminated; now only the remnants within the Nine Provinces remain."

"Disciples of the Eastern Heaven, quickly assemble in Cangzhou, and follow me to break this formation, cleanse the remaining evil, and restore the bright spirit of our Xuanmen!"

In an instant, as the voice of the Daoist Master Kaiyuan echoed, boundless calamity energy converged towards Cangzhou from the darkness. Looking at the vortex of calamity energy constantly gathering above Cangzhou, this great calamity of the Xuanmen, which encompassed the nine realms of the Xuanmen and then affected all the heavens, would finally end in Cangzhou of the Nine Provinces.

In an instant, the immortals of the Eastern Heaven from Jun, Bian, Xuan, Hao, and Yang states all converged on Cangzhou. Countless stars twinkled in the sky above the Nine Provinces, then stretched out in a continuous expanse, transforming into a vast star river that enveloped the eastern region of the Nine Provinces.

Each star represents a celestial being of the upper three realms.

Penglai, Qinghua, Tianhe, Chixiao, Yaochi, and the vassal immortal sects of the five Xuanmen holy lands are all converging their power on Cangzhou in an attempt to gain fortune and merit in this final battle.

As the golden sun representing the Golden Mother Yuanjun moved eastward, Qiongyun Daojun looked at Xiaogong and Ye Wenshu: "You two should come with me. After all, this is the final battle of this Xuanmen calamity. At this time, you can try to gain some luck and merit without attracting too much attention."

Upon hearing that they were going to Cangzhou, Ye Wenshu suddenly hesitated. Seeing this, Qiongyun Daojun asked, "Does Xuan Nu have any concerns? Do you perhaps feel that the Eastern Heaven Daoist family cannot tolerate the two of you?"

Ye Wenshu shook her head: "It's not that I'm afraid of the Eastern Heaven Daoist family, nor that I'm rejecting the fortune and merit of the Xuanmen Great Calamity. It's just that I'm worried that I might encounter that person in Cangzhou."

that person?
Both Daoist Qiongyun and Fairy Xiaogong became suspicious. Who was the person who could make Ye Wenshu look like this?
Ye Wenshu sighed softly, her expression a mixture of anticipation and helplessness: "That person..."

"Penglai Spirit Abyss." (End of Chapter)
