Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

"Let's fight them!"

Someone shouted something and then activated a magical artifact that struck three thousand feet into the sea of ​​clouds, stirring up clouds and smoke for a hundred miles.

Immediately afterward, Master Li saw his fellow disciples unleash their supernatural powers and summon their magical treasures to charge forward. In an instant, various spells crisscrossed, and magical treasures and artifacts clashed and crashed. The mountains were filled with the booming sounds of supernatural powers and magical treasures colliding, stirring up thick clouds of smoke.

However, the Dao soldiers of the Eastern Heaven Daoist Clan were unfazed by the resistance of the crowd. Thousands of Dao soldiers advanced in formation, and layers of spiritual light rose up to form a barrier that blocked all the supernatural powers and magical treasures of the crowd. Behind the spiritual light barrier, the Dao soldiers activated their magical artifacts to unleash bolts of lightning and raging fire, plowing across the battlefield again and again.

Faced with the thunder and fire unleashed by the Dao soldiers' formation, the crowd either used vines to create shields or activated ice crystal walls to block them. Some even used fire, thunder, and metal magic to forcefully confront the thunder.

No matter how they used their supernatural abilities, they could not withstand the siege of the Taoist soldiers, after all, there were too many Taoist soldiers.

The Dao soldiers advanced steadily from all directions in formations of hundreds or thousands, using spiritual light barriers to compress the space for everyone to move around. As the space for everyone to move around became less and less, the thunder and fire coming from all directions became more and more intense.

In a short time, as the Taoist soldiers advanced layer by layer, Master Li discovered that more than one person beside him had been injured, and some had even perished under the lightning.

Amidst the thunderous roar, bolts of lightning struck down, creating vast arcs of lightning that shook and cracked the very space around them.

With a muffled groan, Master Li turned his head and saw that Master Zhang of the Tianyuan Holy Sect had his protective magic barrier pierced by lightning. However, before he could recover and regroup his magic power to protect himself, he was struck by a series of lightning bolts, and in the end, even his nascent soul could not escape from the heavenly lightning.

"Senior Brother Zhang!"

A female cultivator let out a mournful cry. When Master Li looked over, he saw that the female cultivator was Zhou Xianzi, who belonged to the Tianyuan Holy Sect, just like Master Zhang.

"Mountain and River Dao Sect, I'll fight you to the death!"

Zhou Xianzi was filled with grief and indignation. She drew her sword and charged forward, but was caught in a net of lightning composed of hundreds of bolts of thunder. In no time, she turned into a charred corpse and fell to the ground.

As more and more cultivators were injured or fell, Master Li watched as more and more of his comrades fell to the ground, some dying and others losing their ability to resist. The initial sadness and anger in his heart eventually turned into a feeling of helpless coldness.

Finally, one of the injured cultivators could no longer endure this slow suicide and roared as he dragged his broken body toward the Taoist army formation.

"If I die, none of you will have an easy time!"

With a roar, this True Person recklessly abandoned his mangled body and used his Nascent Soul's teleportation ability to move into the Daoist army formation and detonate his Nascent Soul.

boom!
In an instant, the heavens and earth trembled, spiritual energy surged, and even the mountains were blown away by the explosion, with countless rocks appearing in large cracks.

In an instant, the Nascent Soul of this True Person exploded, shattering the spiritual energy of a thousand miles away. As space cracked, the terrifying power of the Nascent Soul's self-destruction transformed into a scorching and surging aftershock that swept in all directions, affecting several Daoist army formations. One by one, the spiritual light barriers dimmed and collapsed, and gaps appeared in the dense thunder and raging fire.

The self-destruction of this True Person's Nascent Soul miraculously created a rare path to survival for True Person Li and the others.

"Senior Brother Wang sacrificed his Nascent Soul to buy us a way out! Brothers, rush out quickly!"

With a roar, everyone grabbed their magical treasures and activated their supernatural powers, fleeing out through the gap.

Master Li also escaped through the gap among the remaining people.

However, to everyone's despair, even though they broke through the Dao soldiers' formation, what awaited them was not a way out, but even more Dao soldiers!
Besides the Dao soldiers lined up on the ground, there were also large numbers of spirit birds and beasts, as well as various war artifacts on the magic boats in the air.

In the silence, the long-range magic ship, about a hundred miles long, slowly sailed over. The young master standing on the bow of the ship glanced at the crowd below and then smiled disdainfully.

"Sword light forms clouds, and the technique moves like mist; this is the Hua Guangyun Sword Technique, a remnant of the Hua Yun Sect."

"The Wood Method contains hidden poison seeds; the Wood Embryo Heavenly Poison Technique is the remnant of the Dao Yi Palace."

"Frozen for thousands of miles, freezing gods and suppressing souls, the Ice God's Cold Heaven Technique, the remnant of the Yin-Yang orthodox lineage."

"Thunder and Fire Dual Techniques, Thunderclap Like Light, Yuan Yang Thunder and Fire Scripture, remnants of the Yuan Yang Dao Sect."

"And you lot, that thing that shook the mountains and broke the great formation, that was the Kongdong Mountain-Suppressing Seal unique to the Kongdong Dao Sect, right? And that rock pillar standing tall, with the mountain waves like ripples, that was the Tianyuan Rock Gold Technique of the Tianyuan Holy Sect, right?"

"Oh, and there's also the Kunyuan Qi Method of the Qiankun Dao Sect. There are actually a hundred or so remnants of the Seven Sects in this small cave. The old saying that rats stick together is really true."

Hearing the young master's sarcasm, some people showed resentment, while others were filled with despair: "It's Yun Chengzi from the Zhenxiao Dao Sect!"

Upon hearing this, Master Fang of the Yuanyang Dao Sect couldn't help but roar, "Yun Chengzi, your Zhenxiao Dao Sect was once on the same side as us. Do you really intend to exterminate us all today?!"

Yun Chengzi sighed helplessly: "The past is the past, and the present is the present. When you got involved in this calamity, didn't you ever think about why my Zhenxiao Dao Sect didn't participate?"

“Speaking of which, Fellow Daoist Fang, we are acquaintances. Back when my master, True Monarch Xiaogong, held the Refining Void Ceremony, you, Fellow Daoist Fang, also came to the True Xiao Dao Sect as a guest with True Monarch Jinchen.”

"But the more this is the case, the less I can let you go. After all, your Seven Sects Alliance has already failed completely. I can't drag my True Cloud Dao Sect down with you, making this defeat not only pitiful but also tragic."

With that, Yun Chengzi pointed and said, "Junior brothers and sisters, let's get started. Once we wipe out this place, we can go back and report our success."

The disciples of the Zhenxiao Dao Sect around Yun Chengzi all attacked together. With the roar of various supernatural powers and spells, this thousand-mile mountain range was completely flattened, leaving no living creatures.

Yun Chengzi stood on the Dharma Boat and sighed again: "Fellow Daoist Fang, don't blame me. We have already chosen the Heavenly Court and the Eastern Heaven Daoist School. If we make an exception for you, we will be caught in the middle."

After saying this, Yun Chengzi ordered his men to collect the identity jade tokens of the remnants of the seven sects, and then left with his men.

The Dharma boat came and went in a hurry, and in less than half an hour, a hundred or so True Immortals lost their lives there.

And scenes like this kept happening in Cangzhou, Junzhou, Bianzhou, and even Xuanzhou and Haozhou.

Whether they are true remnants of the Seven Sects or minor sects and cultivation families with some connection to the Seven Sects, they are all being eliminated. The so-called destruction of mountains and temples and the severing of the lineage is never as simple as just breaking through the mountain gate and destroying a sect.

Cangzhou, the temporary residence of the Zhenxiao Dao Sect.

After Yun Chengzi's magic boat landed, he straightened his clothes and walked into the temporary main hall. He bowed to the fairy kneeling at the head of the table, who was taking notes: "Disciple Yun Cheng greets Master."

Xiao Gong looked up at Yun Cheng and nodded: "Was this trip successful?"

Yun Chengzi hesitated for a moment before saying, "Reporting to Master, everything went smoothly, but I ran into an acquaintance, Fellow Daoist Fang from the Yuanyang Dao Sect." Xiao Gong paused for a moment, then said, "Oh, he is a disciple of True Monarch Jin Chen from the Yuanyang Dao Sect, right? Back when I was at the Refining Void Ceremony, he accompanied True Monarch Jin Chen to deliver congratulatory gifts and participated in the Xiaoyun Small Competition that I held, where he ranked third."

As expected of the True Lord of Refining Emptiness, he still remembered the events of a thousand years ago clearly, recalling them in an instant without any error.

Xiao Gong looked at Yun Chengzi and sighed softly, "Is he the only remaining disciple of True Monarch Jin Chen?"

"Now, even the last bit of incense offering from True Monarch Jin Chen has been exhausted."

To be fair, Xiaogong had a very good impression of Jinchen Zhenjun. This Zhenjun of Yuanyang Daozong was witty and talkative, and had a dignified appearance. When he presented the Lianxu congratulatory gift on behalf of Yuanyang Daozong, he also had the demeanor of a gentleman.

Fortunately, Jin Chen Zhenjun perished relatively early, and did not witness the scene of Fei Yang Daojun's demise, nor did he personally witness the Hua Yang Realm being overthrown by the Heavenly Demon. Otherwise, Xiao Gong might not know whether Jin Chen Zhenjun would have directly turned his Dao heart into a demon.

After a moment of silence, Xiaogong said, "It would be hard for anyone to bear to see someone they used to know die in front of them."

“But this is inevitable, Yuncheng. It’s better to be in the Nine Provinces than outside of it.”

"You have no idea how chaotic those battles between the middle and lower thousand li have become. The struggle for the orthodox lineage has driven both sides to the brink of madness."

"As far as I know, the immortal sects and clans under the Eastern Heaven Daoist School have been slaughtering people ever since they invaded the Middle Thousand and Lesser Thousand realms under the Seven Sect Alliance. They wish they could directly annihilate the worlds where their opponents are located."

"Such an act that goes against the natural order has forced the Eastern Heaven Daoist School to send more True Lords to various Middle Thousand Battlefields to supervise, and even those Small Thousand Battlefields have been assigned patrol elders."

"Fortunately, this battle is about to end."

As he spoke, Xiaogong looked through the dome of the main hall towards the sky above.

"The Ancestor Qiongyun, together with the Golden Mother Yuanjun of Yaochi, the Daoist Dejing of Penglai, the Daoist Miaoyan of Qinghua, and the Daoist Yueheng of Tianhe, have trapped the last two Daoists of Tianyuan Holy Sect, Tianyu Daoist and Tianxing Daoist, outside the chaotic space-time. Those two Daoists of Tianyuan Holy Sect cannot hold out for long."

"The day before yesterday, Kongyu Daojun of Kongdong Dao Sect had already fallen at the hands of Xuanming Daojun, Junxiao Daojun and Xuanjian Daojun; Huayun Daojun of Huayun Dao Sect was also killed by Chixiao Daojun."

"The once mighty alliance of the seven sects that swept across the heavens is now reduced to only Qian Tian Dao Jun of the Qiankun Dao Sect, aside from the two from the Tianyuan Sacred Sect."

"But Qian Tian Dao Jun's opponent is Kai Yuan Dao Jun, and this great calamity will soon come to an end."

Meanwhile, beyond the Nine Heavens Star Sea, within the chaotic time.

The Golden Mother Primordial Sovereign, the Virtuous and Scenic Dao Lord, the Wondrous and Stern Dao Lord, the Yue Heng Dao Lord, and the Qiong Yun Dao Lord joined forces to trap the Heavenly Yu Dao Lord and the Heavenly Xing Dao Lord, leaving these two Dao Lords of the Heavenly Origin Holy Sect with nowhere to go.

"Old man Yue Heng!"

"In the past, your Tianhe Dao Sect brazenly invaded my Tianyuan Realm. Now, not only have you seized the foundation of my Tianyuan Holy Sect, but you also want to destroy the lineage of my Tianyuan Holy Sect. What kind of orthodox Xuanmen can your Tianhe Dao Sect do!"

Daoist Tianyu roared angrily, but Daoist Yueheng turned a deaf ear.

Holding the Heavenly Radiance Yang Ruler in his palm, the Star River Shifting Chain transformed into a vast star river spanning countless times and spaces. Daoist Yue Heng calmly said, "My Heavenly River Dao Sect has won, so you are wrong; my Heavenly River Dao Sect's Brother Kaiyuan is about to ascend to the True Yang Realm of the Dao Master, so my Heavenly River Dao Sect is the orthodox lineage of the Xuanmen."

"This is the greatest Dao in all the heavens and myriad realms, and it is the principle that everyone recognizes."

"You bunch of stray dogs, you clowns, even if you combine the power of the eight Great Thousand Realms, the seven sects of the Xuanmen, plus the two holy lands of the side sects and the two royal courts of the demon race, you still couldn't defeat my Eastern Heaven Dao Family. How dare you even talk about the orthodox lineage of the Xuanmen here?"

"Fellow Daoists, there's nothing more to say to this fiend. Let's all send him to his next reincarnation!"

As Yue Heng Daojun spoke, he flung out the Star River Shifting Chain in his hand. The Star River Shifting Chain transformed into billions of hectares of starry river, anchoring the ten directions of heavens, pinning down countless times and spaces, isolating the future, sealing off the past, and confining Tianyu Daojun to the present world, to this very moment.

Daoist Dejing immediately raised the Nine-Stringed Qian Guang Whip, and Daoist Miaoyan also raised the Golden Jade Whip. The two Daoists attacked Daoist Tianyu from the left and right.

Thunder and fire surged on the Nine-Stringed Qian Light Whip, and the violent power of thunder and fire transformed into rolling destructive laws that fell on Tianyu Daojun's head, almost shattering the three flowers on Tianyu Daojun's head. Before Tianyu Daojun could make a move, Miaoyan Daojun casually flicked the Golden Jade Whip in his hand, and a vast amount of fortune swept away, making Tianyu Daojun's pillar of fortune teeter on the verge of collapse.

Upon seeing this, Jinmu Yuanjun, without saying a word, summoned the Nine Lights Yuanzun Sword and unleashed a life-and-death sword light at Tianyu Daojun. The vast power of life and death entered Tianyu Daojun's body and began to destroy all of Tianyu Daojun's vitality. The three flowers on his head and the five qi in his chest were about to disintegrate under this life-and-death sword light.

Seeing his senior brother surrounded by four Dao Lords, Tianxing Daojun could not tolerate it. However, before Tianxing Daojun could make a move, a streak of light swept over and separated Tianxing Daojun from Tianyu Daojun.

Tianxing Daojun looked over angrily, only to see Qiongyun Daojun smiling, with wisps of clouds swirling around his whisk, both real and illusory, like a dream.

“Fellow Daoist Tianxing, I cannot let you pass.”

"To be honest, I have no enmity with you, fellow Daoist, but now I can't afford to feel sorry for you. I can only send you back to the cycle of reincarnation."

As he spoke, Qiongyun Daojun waved his whisk, and ethereal clouds enveloped Tianxing Daojun, creating countless illusions. In an instant, Tianxing Daojun entered countless illusions and experienced countless illusions and destructions. Even Tianxing Daojun's indestructible pure yang true body and pure yang life soul developed cracks in the countless illusions and destructions, no longer perfectly harmonious.

"The so-called path of disillusionment is to make the false into the real and to prove the result through illusion. There are billions of illusions and billions of people who fall into them. They are so deeply trapped in illusion that they do not know it and think it is real. Their form and scene are real. When the illusion is destroyed, the body and soul are destroyed. The result of illusion is the destruction. This is disillusionment."

Qiongyun Daojun spoke with a smile, and with another wave of his whisk, Tianxing Daojun was simultaneously trapped in a hundred billion illusions, experiencing a hundred billion different lives. In these hundred billion different lives, Tianxing Daojun became feathered insects, birds, shrimps, cats, dogs, pigs, and cattle. Whether he was transformed into livestock or a human, he could not escape death.

Insects are eaten by birds, shrimp are swallowed by fish, birds are hunted by cats, fish are caught by birds, and then cats and dogs are killed by humans. They become pigs and cattle and become meat. Even if they become humans, they cannot escape a life of mediocre farming.

These billions of illusory worlds of life can only be escaped by the awakening of the Heavenly Dao Lord's innate wisdom and his understanding of himself.

In that illusion, when Tianxing Daojun transformed into beasts and livestock, he was unable to cultivate or awaken his innate wisdom. Even when he transformed into a human, he mostly farmed. Occasionally, he became a wealthy merchant but could not escape having his property confiscated by officials, became a general but could not escape dying on the battlefield, or became an official but had his clan exterminated by the emperor. He finally became a cultivator but ended up as a rogue cultivator who could not achieve the Dao.
In those billions of illusions and destructions, the indestructible pure Yang true body of Tianxing Daojun gradually cracked and disintegrated, revealing the flawless pure Yang life soul within. Then, with each illusion and destruction, the pure Yang life soul of Tianxing Daojun was no longer pure and flawless, and began to show cracks and then gradually disintegrated.

Finally, with a sweep of Qiongyun Daojun's whisk, Tianxing Daojun's physical body and soul turned into dust and dissipated.

From beginning to end, Tianxing Daojun never fought with Qiongyun Daojun. Those billions of illusions and destructions were but a fleeting moment, and Tianxing Daojun fell into reincarnation so easily.

It is that easy and simple to govern the pure Yang who has entered the Dao with the state of upholding the Dao.

As Daoist Qiongyun watched Daoist Tianxing enter the cycle of annihilation, he sighed softly, "In the blink of an eye, billions are born; all paths perish, and the souls are annihilated."

"I will use my Path of Disillusionment to send you into reincarnation. You have done your duty." (End of Chapter)
