Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

"I'll wait for the destruction of your seven sects, and for the merging of all realms of the Xuanmen into the Three Realms. Once my fortune and merit are enough, I'll be able to reach the realm of the Master of the Dao."

The words of the Daoist Master Kaiyuan resounded like a mighty thunderclap, echoing throughout the heavens and the earth.

Surrounded by Taoist thunderous sounds, Qian Tian Dao Jun watched as Kai Yuan Dao Jun threw Tian Xuan Dao Jun's corpse into the vast ocean at his feet. Immediately, the invincible aura emanating from Kai Yuan Dao Jun merged with the overwhelming power that had brought Tian Xuan Dao Jun with him, and an overwhelming and irresistible aura rose from Kai Yuan Dao Jun's body.

In an instant, a vast sea of ​​stars shone brightly in the sky, illuminating countless stars; and a mighty torrent of water surged forth, washing away the vast expanse of time; the stars shone, the water flowed around, and the boundless years stretched across the past and present, and countless causes and effects were born and died uncertainly.

All kinds of laws manifest and intertwine, revealing traces of the Great Dao and condensing into seals of the Great Dao.

Stars, heavy water, time, and cause and effect shone in succession, finally converging at one place. Immediately, an ethereal and supreme power rose from Kaiyuan Daojun's body, as if Kaiyuan Daojun had taken that half step and entered a completely new realm.

At this moment, Dao Lord Kaiyuan is truly invincible in upholding the Dao. Not to mention that Dao Lord Qiantian is isolated and helpless, even if Dao Lord Qiantian calls for more help, they will not be a match for Dao Lord Kaiyuan now.

"Half-step into the Dao of Palm!"

Qian Tian Dao Jun uttered four words with difficulty.

With the cultivation and vision of Qian Tian Dao Jun, he could naturally see that the various strange phenomena manifested by Kai Yuan Dao Jun were transformations of the Great Dao he held; amidst the convergence of those layers of laws, the seeds of the various Great Daos held by Kai Yuan Dao Jun gradually merged and transformed into half a True Yang Dao Fruit.

Even half a True Yang Dao Fruit is not something he can defeat.

"Qian Tian, ​​go back to the cycle of reincarnation. You are one of the instigators of this great calamity. Once you enter the cycle of reincarnation, you will be able to return in a few years."

As Kaiyuan Daojun spoke, he raised the Heavenly River Boundary Ruler in his hand. The Pure Yang Treasure manifested its immeasurable power, and the Milky Way, formed by the convergence of billions of stars, surged and flowed, seemingly in a cycle of reincarnation and endless life.

However, Qian Tian Dao Jun could see clearly that beneath that vast and dazzling starry river lay countless laws and traces of the Dao of all the Great Daos.

If Kaiyuan Daojun were to be hit by this attack, his own existence would be completely wiped out, leaving only a vast expanse, and Qiantian Daojun would cease to exist in this world.

As he watched the land beneath his feet, which originally belonged to the Qiankun Dao Sect, turn into a vast ocean, and the once beautiful rivers and mountains of Mingzhou vanish without a trace, the slight desire to retreat that had initially arose in Qian Tian Dao Jun gradually dissipated.

As Qian Tian Dao Jun raised his hand and made a grasping motion, a three-foot-six-inch Qing Gang magic sword appeared in his palm.

The sword is entirely sky blue, seemingly simple yet possessing the power to encompass the universe and overturn heaven and earth. With the sword in hand, the aura of the Heavenly Dao Lord also rises steadily.

A sword carries the universe!
The Pure Yang Treasure of Qian Tian Dao Jun!
As the sword was drawn, Daoist Dejing and Daoist Miaoyan exchanged a glance, and the two Daoists immediately retreated.

It wasn't that the two Dao Lords were afraid of Dao Lord Qian Tian, ​​but rather that they understood that once Qian Kun Zai drew his sword, it meant that Dao Lord Qian Tian had already decided to die. Under such circumstances, there was no need for the two Dao Lords to continue their pursuit.

Moreover, now that Daoist Kaiyuan has appeared, this final battle will naturally be ended by Daoist Kaiyuan.

With the departure of Daoist Dejing and Daoist Miaoyan, only Daoist Kaiyuan and Daoist Qiantian remained on the vast ocean in the center of the Nine Provinces.

Kaiyuan Daojun was not in a hurry. Looking at Qiantian Daojun, whose momentum was rising steadily as if he was ready to fight to the death, he raised his hand and pointed to the Cangzhou land in the east: "Qiantian, look at the Cangzhou land. Under the constant battle between your seven sects and my Dongtian Dao family, the mountains and rivers have long been broken, and even the spiritual energy between heaven and earth has become much thinner."

"And now, there are still battles between cultivators at the Pure Yang level above Cangzhou. I'm afraid Cangzhou won't be able to hold out for long before it's shattered."

As he spoke, Daoist Kaiyuan looked at Daoist Qiantian: "Tianyu, Tianxing, Kongyu, and Huayun are currently surrounded, just like the Cangzhou that is drifting like cotton wool and could collapse at any moment; Qiantian, how long can your Xuanmen Seven Sects Alliance hold out?"

As Kaiyuan Daojun posed this thought-provoking question, Qiantian Daojun took a deep breath, slowly calming his mind. Looking at the ever-humming Qiankun Zaiyi Sword in his hand, Qiantian Daojun said in a deep voice, "I don't know how long they can hold out, but I know that even if the seven sects of Xuanmen are overthrown, even if we perish, there will still be countless people in the myriad realms who will not submit to your Eastern Heaven Daoist family!"

"I am destined to perish today, but I will not be the last to raise my banner and confront your Eastern Heavenly Daoist School!"

Having said that, the magnificent sword light that had been brewing on the Qiankun Zaiyi Sword slashed horizontally, instantly tearing apart the clear and turbid, breaking through yin and yang, and shattering billions of time and space in an instant, transforming into boundless sword light of great destruction, which surrounded and enveloped Kaiyuan Daojun.

Kaiyuan Daojun snorted coldly: "Qiantian, I believe what you say."

“Your Qiankun Dao Sect is definitely not the last one to oppose my Dongtian Dao Family. After Dao Yi Palace, Yin Yang Zheng Zong, and Yuan Yang Dao Sect were overthrown, there will surely be successors.”

"But their fate will be the same as yours."

"In all the heavens and myriad realms, in the chaotic universe, if one truly harbors resentment and unwillingness, and thinks that gathering trillions of mortal beings or hundreds of billions or trillions of cultivators can defy the higher realms and shake the Pure Yang realm, then what is the point of cultivation? What is the point of supernatural powers and might?"

"If you cannot even bear the consequences of your karma, how can I gather the fortunes of your seven families and achieve the True Yang Dao Fruit?"

"There are only seven great thousand worlds on either side. I can accept and bear the karmic consequences of those countless beings!"

As Kaiyuan Daojun finished speaking, the destructive sword light that surrounded Kaiyuan Daojun and covered the past and future collapsed and dissipated. Kaiyuan Daojun, with twelve mysterious colors shining brightly, walked from the past, stood in the present, and also stood in the future.

The Heavenly River Boundary Ruler was raised by the Kaiyuan Daojun, transforming into a ripple of time like flowing water: "Qian Tian, ​​after I erase your existence, a thousand years later, do you think anyone in this Nine Provinces will still remember the Qiankun Dao Sect, or remember your name, Qian Tian?"

"The lives of all beings are short, and they can only live for a hundred years. The six realms of mortals can only last for three thousand years at most. After this great calamity of the Xuanmen ends, there will not be a single person left in the Nine Provinces, let alone the three realms above. Even the Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation realms will not be left."

"At that time, everything in the Nine Provinces will have to be overturned and rebuilt to resemble the style of my Eastern Heaven Daoist family."

As he spoke, a faint, ancient power washed over him.

Time is the most ruthless thing; it can obliterate everything and overturn everything.

As time covers up the past, everything will be covered and reshaped. The best way to erase a person's existence is to erase their past, sever all their causes and effects, and they will cease to exist.

"Qian Tian, ​​go and be reborn in the cycle of reincarnation!"

At the center of the Nine Provinces, under the illumination of the starry sea, the power of time sweeps across everything, reshaping the past.

Meanwhile, in Cangzhou, Dao Lord Kongyu, Dao Lord Huayun, Dao Lord Tianxing, and Dao Lord Tianyu were surrounded by Dao Lord Jinmu Yuanjun, Dao Lord Qiongyun, Dao Lord Yueheng, Dao Lord Chixiao, Dao Lord Xuanming, Dao Lord Junming, and Dao Lord Xuanjian, struggling to break through the encirclement and gain a glimmer of hope.

Meanwhile, the remaining disciples and followers of the seven Xuanmen sects, including Tianyuan Shengzong, Kongdong Daozong, and Huayun Daozong, were putting up a stubborn resistance, seemingly harboring unrealistic expectations and still hoping to escape this Nine Provinces Realm with their ancestors.

Little did they know, their fate was already sealed; they were destined to perish together in this land of Kyushu.

Therefore, while the Pure Yang Ancestors of the Eastern Heavenly Daoist School suppressed the four Heavenly Yu Dao Lords, the True Lords of various sects, such as Yuan Yi True Lord, Zhao Zhen True Lord, and Hong Yi True Lord, also began to purge the remaining disciples of the seven sects.

Within the mountain range that stretches for thousands of miles, one can see endless forests and undulating peaks, with countless hidden streams, caves, and veins within.

Inside a mountain cave, a hundred or so cultivators gathered in silence. Some were quietly repairing their damaged magical artifacts and robes, while others carefully took out their last few pills to heal internal injuries and restore their mana. Still others simply lay down and fell asleep, seemingly oblivious to everything else.

All the cultivators here exuded a heavy, lifeless aura, like exhausted, dying people, with hardly any hope in sight.

If someone familiar with the myriad realms and the myriad worlds were here, they would be astonished to find that there are only a hundred or so cultivators in this cave, yet they wear more than a dozen different kinds of clothing.

The one in the blue robe with the Yin-Yang symbol on his chest is a disciple of the Qiankun Dao Sect; the one in the white robe with the Yang Fire symbol is a disciple of the Yuanyang Dao Sect; and the one in black with the Yin-Yang jade pendant at his waist is a disciple of the Yin-Yang Orthodox Sect.
Elders and disciples from the seven major sects of Xuanmen—Qiankun Daozong, Yuanyang Daozong, Yinyang Zhengzong, Daoyigong, Kongdong Daozong, Huayun Daozong, and Tianyuan Shengzong—can all be found here.

It is truly rare to see such a complete group of disciples from all seven sects in Cangzhou today.

"Has the formation been set up?"

A hoarse voice rang out, and someone replied immediately: "Reporting to Master Li, it has been set up. It is the Illusionary Cloud Obscuring Moon Formation of the Tianyuan Holy Sect. It can make the cave entrance indistinguishable from the surrounding mountains and forests, and can also conceal our aura and traces. I think we can rest for a while."

Hearing this, Master Li sighed, took out a bottle of pills from his storage bag, carefully opened it, found that there was only one pill left, shook his head, and put the pill away.

Things are different now than before.

How powerful were the seven allied forces before?

Of the nine great sects of the Xuanmen, the allied forces occupy five, while the Chunyang Dao unifies thirteen, with the allied forces holding seven.

No matter how you look at it, the Allied Forces are superior to Shanhe Daomen.

At that time, the allied forces had ten Pure Yang Patriarchs, and all the heavens and myriad realms had their help, including the Left Divine Realm, the Nine Chambers Realm, and the Great Wilderness Realm.

At that time, the allied forces possessed seven great worlds, and countless middle and small worlds under their command, with inexhaustible resources of all kinds of magical treasures, robes, elixirs, and talismans.

But somehow, one after another, the great worlds fell into chaos.

Huayang Realm, Xuanhuang Realm, Xuanhu Realm, Jiushi Realm, Zuoshen Realm
The fall of one Great Thousand World after another not only meant that the Allied Forces lost their reinforcements, but also that the numerous Middle and Lesser Thousand Worlds under these five Great Thousand Worlds could no longer supply manpower and resources. It can be said that the Allied Forces only had the Nine Provinces Realm left, and only a small part of the Nine Provinces Realm. The war potential of the Seven Sects Allied Forces was completely interrupted.

Since then, their lives have become increasingly difficult. First, the supply of magical artifacts and talismans has become increasingly scarce. Then, the repair of magical treasures and robes has become increasingly delayed. Finally, even basic healing and energy-restoring pills could not be provided. This forced the disciples of the Seven Sects Alliance, who were high and mighty disciples of the holy land, to organize private transactions to exchange for what they needed.

In the past, why would these disciples of the Holy Land need to participate in auctions like those disciples of minor sects and aristocratic families, or sneak into private trading places like rogue cultivators and unorthodox practitioners?

The Pure Yang Holy Land, possessing the vast universe and encompassing countless medium and small worlds, is a place of great abundance and resources. Disciples of the Pure Yang Holy Land can obtain whatever they desire through the sect, safely, reliably, and at low prices, without the need for long waits.

Now, however, they are forced to repair their magical artifacts and refine pills on their own while waiting anxiously for news. Once they receive news, they secretly go to the temporary underground trading place to exchange for some rare and precious materials, spiritual herbs, and mysterious iron, which are urgently needed. Not only are the prices ridiculously high, but there are even people from the Eastern Heavenly Daoist sect fishing in the dark, which is extremely dangerous.

However, not all disciples of the Seven Sects have access to such underground trading opportunities.

Only elders of the seven sects at the Nascent Soul and Deity Transformation stages, as well as True Monarchs of the Upper Three Realms, are allowed to participate.

But now, there are fewer and fewer True Monarchs in the Upper Three Realms of the Seven Sects.

This situation is beyond deterioration. With the passing of the Pure Yang Patriarchs and the fall of the True Monarchs of the Upper Three Realms, the Seven Sects Alliance is already a candle flickering in the wind, able to hold on for as long as possible.

Li Zhenren thought to himself, but then let out a helpless sigh. Everyone knew that they were barely clinging to life, but so what?

Not to mention that the Eastern Heavenly Daoist School would not accept these remnants of the Seven Sects, which of them was not deeply indebted to their sects and entangled in karma with their sects' energy?

The atmosphere inside the cave grew increasingly somber.

Suddenly, someone said, "The Immortal Lord Dongri has fallen."

A low sobbing sound gradually rose from the crowd. Master Li looked over and saw that they were disciples of the Yuanyang Dao Sect.

Dongri Immortal Lord is currently the most accomplished being in the Yuanyang Dao Sect. After the passing of Feiyang Dao Lord of the Yuanyang Dao Sect, Dongri Immortal Lord became the only support for the disciples of the Yuanyang Dao Sect in the Nine Provinces Realm, a pillar supporting the heavens.

Just a day before, Immortal Lord Dongri was surrounded by Immortal Lord Yuzhen of Yaochi Holy Land and Immortal Lord Chiyun of Chixiao Dao Sect, and perished at the hands of the two immortals.

The only remaining True Lord Liuxiao and True Lord Liuwei of the Yuanyang Dao Sect also perished in that battle at the hands of True Lord Cangxi, True Lord Cangyou, and True Lord Cangque of the Chixiao Dao Sect.

It can be said that the Pure Yang Ancestor of the Yuan Yang Dao Sect, the Mahayana Immortal Lord, and the True Lords of the three realms above have all died out. This Pure Yang Holy Land, which has been glorious for 40,000 years, has been completely destroyed.

"Although Immortal Lord Dongri has perished, we still have a chance."

A Nascent Soul cultivator from the Heavenly Origin Sacred Sect tried to boost morale, but this only provoked a fierce response: "It's not just Immortal Lord Dongri, Immortal Lord Huayang, Immortal Lord Quanyue, and Immortal Lord Mingyi have all perished!"

"The True Monarchs of the Upper Three Realms have all perished!"

"We have no hope left!"

In the end, the man's initially intense and excited emotions gradually subsided, and he finally fell silent.

Master Li surveyed the hundred or so people inside the cave. It could be said that the people in this cave now constituted a significant force in Cangzhou resisting the Eastern Heaven Daoist School.

If they had the chance to hide or escape the Nine Provinces, they might actually have a chance to pass on their lineage and wait for a successor to avenge them.
However, all of this shattered like bubbles with a deafening roar.

boom!
With a deafening roar, the earth shook violently!

Inside the cave, the remnants of the seven sects looked on in horror. The Illusionary Cloud Moon-Covering Array that had covered the cave was nowhere to be seen. The cave entrance and the rugged, winding passage had been blown open, allowing the sunlight from the outside to stream in. But everyone's hearts remained cold.

A warship of the Longqu class, spanning hundreds of miles, was suspended in the clouds. It was this Longqu class warship of the Eastern Heavenly Daoist sect that had just fired its cannons and destroyed their shielding formation.

Around this war vessel were dozens of smaller vessels, each about a hundred feet long, filled with soldiers from the Mountain and River Daoist sect.

On the long, curved magic boat, a person waved his hand indifferently, and dozens of smaller magic boats immediately surrounded them. Hundreds of Taoist soldiers descended from the sky and formed an array to completely surround Master Li and his companions.

Atop the cloud-top magic boat, came the cold, ruthless voice of the True Person of the Mountain and River Dao Sect:
"The True Lord has decreed that not a single remnant of the Seven Sects shall be spared!" (End of Chapter)
