Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

The establishment of authority requires iron and blood.

The suppression of chaos in the human realm is merely a preliminary demonstration of the Judicial Heavenly Lord's Palace's capabilities, indicating that the Judicial Heavenly Lord's Palace is able to handle human turmoil.

However, to truly establish the majesty of the Heavenly Emperor's Palace of Justice, blood of equal rank is indispensable.

This is a very simple concept: if a tiger bites a rabbit to death, no other animal will be afraid; but if a tiger bites an elephant to death, no other animal will be terrified.

Looking across all the heavens, the Divine Firmament Emperor is the most suitable one.

First, it offended the Eastern Heavenly Daoist School, then disappointed the Heavenly Emperor, and finally provided Jiang Sheng with a pretext. No matter how you look at it, its size and length are just right, making it a perfect choice to establish authority.

Since the Divine Emperor of Shenxiao is so supportive, it would be unreasonable for Jiang Sheng not to take action.

With the support of his senior uncles from Penglai, Qinghua, and Tianhe, and the assistance of two fifth-level senior uncles, and finally with the support of the Pure Yang Ancestor, Jiang Sheng intended to overwhelm them with overwhelming force and crush the Divine Firmament Emperor and his Divine Firmament Imperial Palace.

In this way, whether it is the thirty-six departments and fifty-six palaces of the Heavenly Court, or the various continents of the four seas in the human world, they will truly realize the majesty of the Judicial Heavenly Lord's Palace, and understand what Jiang Sheng represents.

As for the Divine Firmament Emperor?

Jiang Sheng wouldn't give him any opinions, nor would he give him a chance to speak.

As Jiang Sheng issued his orders, in the three heavenly realms of Penglai, Qinghua, and Tianhe in the east of the Three Realms, True Lords began to summon their disciples and mobilize their Daoist soldiers and magical boats.

Meanwhile, in the Penglai Heavenly Realm, Daoist Xuanming summoned Lingwei in the Chunyang Cave Heaven. Looking at this leader of the Ling generation, Daoist Xuanming smiled and said, "I understand Lingyuan's thoughts."

"If the Heavenly Emperor's Palace of Justice wants to establish itself in the Heavenly Court, it cannot simply rely on quelling rebellions in the human world; it must take actions to establish its authority."

"In that case, I will make the trip myself, without troubling Senior Sister Jingxuan."

“Lingwei, go tell Lingyuan that I will get Junxiao and Xuanjian involved to support him. His performance must be spectacular.”

Lingwei bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Ancestor Xuanming."

After seeing Lingwei off, Xuanming Daojun stretched and looked towards the Heavenly Court with amusement in his jade crown and brocade robe: "To be honest, it has been a long time since I've visited the Heavenly Court."

"Senior Sister Jingxuan prefers tranquility, so the Eight Heavens Palace is just right for her. I prefer activity, so I live a carefree life in the mortal world."

"This time, I should also inform Senior Sister Jingxuan so that she and Qinghua can be prepared."

The Heavenly Court has nine heavenly palaces, with the eighth heaven specifically set up by the Heavenly Court for the pure Yang of the four directions, with the intention of unifying the three realms.

Neither the Eastern Heavenly Daoists nor the Western Heavenly Buddhists had any objections to this. Each sent two Pure Yang disciples to the Heavenly Court, plus one from the Demon Emperor's Palace and one from the Divine Path, making a total of six Pure Yang disciples.

Later, Jinchan Temple and Tianlong Temple each selected one person to take turns serving in heaven, making a total of eight.

Initially, both the Eastern Heavenly Daoist School and the Western Heavenly Buddhist School sent Daoist practitioners to the Heavenly Court. However, with the great calamity of the Xuanmen, the Eastern Heavenly Daoist School and the Demon Emperor's Palace continuously drew away Pure Yang, and the Golden Zen Temple and the Heavenly Dragon Temple also participated. As a result, the Pure Yang who were on duty in the eighth Heavenly Palace of the Heavenly Court were left only the Great Lingyin Temple and the Pure Yang of the Heavenly Court itself, and the meaning of mutual exchange was lost.

After the Xuanmen Calamity ended and the Pure Yang of the Eastern Heaven returned, considering the situation of various forces such as the Demon Emperor Palace, Jinchan Temple, and Tianlong Temple, as well as the merger of Cangwu Realm, Kunlun Realm, Xiaoyun Realm, Shaoguang Realm, and Futu Realm into the Three Realms, the Eighth Heavenly Palace no longer lacked Dao-holding realms. In addition, to show respect to the Heavenly Emperor, it was changed to send each Dao-entering realm to take turns on duty in the Heavenly Court.

Since the Tianhe Dao Sect now only has three Pure Yang cultivators left, the rotation of leaders is now handled by Penglai and Qinghua. However, the two sects only have a few cultivators at the Dao Realm. Therefore, after Daoist Dejing left the Heavenly Court, Daoist Jingxuan stayed in the Heavenly Court permanently. As for the Qinghua Dao Sect, they called back Daoist Juelan.

Together with the Divine Wind Great Sage of the Demon Emperor Palace, the Virtuous Magpie Bodhisattva and the Virtuous Whale Arhat of the Great Spirit Sound Temple, the Precious Light Bodhisattva of the Golden Zen Temple, the Deer-Sitting Arhat of the Heavenly Dragon Temple, and the Supreme Emperor of the Heavenly Court, these are the eight Pure Yang cultivators who have entered the Dao in the Eighth Heavenly Palace.

However, there are not only these few Pure Yang beings in the Eighth Heaven Realm. The Four Emperors and Five Elders actually stay in the Eighth Heaven Realm on weekdays, which is, in a sense, their training ground.

The Cangwu Palace of the Crimson Cloud Dao Lord is located in the east of the Eighth Heaven Realm, the Yaochi Terrace of the Golden Mother Yuanjun is located in the northwest of the Eighth Heaven Realm, the Xiaoyun Mansion of the Qiongyun Dao Lord is located in the southeast of the Eighth Heaven Realm, the Guanshi Temple of the Bright Light Bodhisattva is located to the south, the Guanyin Pavilion of the Pure Lotus Bodhisattva is located to the southwest, and the Futu Temple of the Maitreya Bodhisattva is located to the west.

Six powerful beings who uphold the Dao and eight beings who have entered the Dao and attained pure Yang form the structure of the eighth heavenly palace.

Xuanming Daojun and Juelan Daojun are not closely related. In fact, although Juelan Daojun has entered the Dao realm, he is also a member of the Jue generation of the Qinghua Dao Sect. The people of the same generation as Juelan Daojun are the same group as Penglai Dejing Daojun and Tianhe Yueheng Daojun.

According to the rules, Daoist Xuanming is a junior of Daoist Juelan. However, in the Pure Yang Realm, there is a sequence to learning the Dao and each has their own expertise. In fact, Daoist Xuanming doesn't care too much about seniority, but he doesn't want to seek that discomfort.

As for Daoist Jingxuan, she is one of the few Yuanjun in the myriad realms. She has a good relationship with Daoist Juelan and Daoist Juehua. These three are also close friends with the Golden Mother Yuanjun of Yaochi. It can be said that they have close relationships with most of the female cultivators in the Pure Yang Realm in the myriad realms.

With Daoist Jingxuan intervening, it shouldn't be a problem to get Daoist Juelan to help.

Xuanming Daojun understood very well that the one most likely to intervene in Jiang Sheng's attempt to establish his authority was the one from the Divine Path. The Demon Emperor's Palace, Golden Zen Temple, and Heavenly Dragon Temple would not interfere, and the Great Spirit Sound Temple would most likely not have a direct conflict with the Eastern Heaven.

The purpose of having Daoist Jingxuan and Daoist Juelan appear was simply to delay the time of the Supreme Emperor of the Divine Path. As long as they could delay for a while, once Jiang Sheng finished his business in the Seventh Heaven Palace, there would be no more trouble.

"Hopefully, Lingyuan will be efficient and not cause any delays or trouble."

Xuanming Daojun muttered to himself, and with a wave of his hand, two black and white dragons flew from his fingertips and disappeared into space and time, before appearing in front of Junxiao Daojun and Xuanjian Daojun.

The Heavenly Court, the seventh heavenly palace.

Inside the Heavenly Lord of Justice's mansion, Jiang Sheng looked at the senior uncles who had come from the Eastern Heaven.

The Yuan generation of Penglai includes Yuan Lin Zhenjun and Yuan Long Zhenjun, and the Shi generation of Penglai includes Shi Hua Zhenjun, Shi Jun Zhenjun, and Shi Ping Zhenjun.

Cangyuan Zhenjun and Canglan Zhenjun of the Tianhe Cang generation; Lanjing Zhenjun and Lanyou Zhenjun of the Qinghua Lan generation.

Two veteran Fifth Tribulation True Lords, seven True Lords at around the Third Tribulation Integration stage, plus Jiang Sheng himself and twenty-three Refining Void True Lords from the Three Departments and Five Capitals of the Judicial Heavenly Lord's Palace, as well as three Pure Yang Dao Lords, Ancestor Xuanming, Ancestor Junxiao, and Ancestor Xuanjian, were in charge.

With such a lineup, let alone attacking a single Divine Firmament Imperial Palace, people would probably believe that Jiang Sheng could wipe out all fifty-six palaces.

Yuan Lin Zhenjun asked, "Lingyuan, His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor has not yet issued a decree. Shall we wait for now, or..."

Jiang Sheng shook his head: "We don't need to wait for His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor's decree. In the end, we are helping His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor clean house. By the time we finish all that tedious process in the Heavenly Court, I'm afraid that old man Shenxiao will have already escaped from the Three Realms."

"We need to be efficient. Let's act first and report later. I'll take responsibility for everything. At worst, I'll be punished. Even if the punishment is severe, it won't kill me."

"My fellow disciples, we are in trouble this time."

After saying this, Jiang Sheng bowed to all his senior uncles and masters, and the True Lords nodded with smiles.

Since the True Lords were willing to come, it meant they were willing to share this karma with Jiang Sheng. Moreover, Jiang Sheng's bow was not as the contemporary leader of the Eastern Heavenly Daoist School or a promising talent favored by the Pure Yang Patriarch, but as the thirteenth generation true disciple of Penglai. Therefore, the True Lords accepted Jiang Sheng's bow.

After bowing, everyone in the Palace of the Heavenly Lord of Justice was eager to try.

Yuan Lin Zhenjun said directly, "Ling Yuan, although we are your elders, you are in charge this time, so we will follow your orders. Just give us your instructions."

Jiang Sheng didn't refuse and simply said, "In that case, I would like to ask Uncle Cangyuan, Uncle Canglan, Uncle Lanjing, and Uncle Lanyou to lead the troops of Tianhe Capital, Qinghua Capital, Chixiao Capital, and Yaochi Capital respectively to surround the four sides of the Shenxiao Imperial Palace, set up the siege mechanisms and the net of heaven and earth, seal off the inside and outside, and not allow anyone to enter or leave."

"Uncle Shihua, Uncle Shijun, Uncle Shiping, I trouble the three of you to lead the troops of Penglai Capital to patrol outside and intercept anyone who tries to approach the Divine Firmament Imperial Palace."

"Uncle-Master Yuan Lin and Uncle-Master Yuan Long, you two are the main force this time. Join me in attacking directly from the main gate, with all the Void Refinement cultivators from the Three Offices and Five Capitals following closely behind."

As he spoke, Jiang Sheng looked intently at the group of True Lords: "This time, our conflict is between the Judicial Heavenly Lord's Palace and the Divine Firmament Imperial Palace. The Judicial Heavenly Lord's Palace is suppressing the rebellion for the Heavenly Court and has little to do with the Eastern Heavenly Daoist School. Therefore, those who infiltrate the Divine Firmament Imperial Palace must be people from my Judicial Heavenly Lord's Palace. Thus, my fellow uncles will not enter the Divine Firmament Imperial Palace, but will only provide support from the outside."

"Lingyan, Mingdong, Xuanxing, Zhuyu, Sujing, and Duobao, you are the main force this time. After entering the Divine Firmament Imperial Palace, do not hold back. Leave no one alive, not even one of the Divine Firmament Emperor's men or soldiers!"

"When the time comes, whatever evidence the Heavenly Court needs, we'll show it to them."

Hearing Jiang Sheng's cold and resolute words, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

"We'll begin in half an hour. Everyone, get ready now."

The True Lords of the Three Offices and Five Capitals immediately went to mobilize the Taoist soldiers to prepare mechanical armor, while Jiang Sheng sat down cross-legged: "Ming An, remind me in half an hour."

Tian Ming'an nodded: "Don't worry, Master."

After speaking, Jiang Sheng took out the Qingping Sword and carefully wiped it with a soft handkerchief woven from ice silkworm yin-yang silk.

Half an hour later, before Tian Ming'an could speak, Jiang Sheng raised his head and looked in the direction of the Divine Firmament Imperial Palace: "Let's make our move."

Immediately, squads of Daoist soldiers left the Palace of the Heavenly Lord of Justice and headed straight for the Divine Firmament Imperial Palace.

The Judicial Heavenly Monarch's Palace had previously mobilized a large number of personnel from the Three Departments and Five Capitals to quell rebellions in the mortal realm. This time, the mobilization of personnel again did not initially attract the attention of the various imperial palaces within the Seventh Heavenly Palace.

It wasn't until the Daoist soldiers of the Heavenly Lord of Justice, armed with staffs, headed straight for the Divine Firmament Imperial Palace, that everyone realized something was amiss with the Heavenly Lord of Justice's actions. But by then, it was too late.

"All parties are proceeding according to plan. The four capitals of Qinghua, Tianhe, Chixiao, and Yaochi are surrounding all four directions, setting up a net of heaven and earth, and forming a battle formation." "The Penglai capital is divided into three parts to patrol outside, raising the banners and ceremonial guards of the Judicial Heavenly Lord's Palace. Anyone who wants to get close should think twice."

"Ming'an, Buyu, Jianchun, Ping'an, bring up the Taoist soldiers from Xiaopenglai. Lingyan, Lingxuan, Lingqiu, take charge of the siege mechanisms. We need to be fast and ruthless!"

After Jiang Sheng finished speaking, he activated the Yin-Yang Calamity Extinction Three Transformations Five Elements Wonderful Method, and poured his powerful magic into the Qingping Sword. The seven blue lotuses that covered the black blade of the Qingping Sword bloomed one after another, surrounded by the power of the Four Symbols and the manifestation of the Three Calamities Extinction. All kinds of power merged and transformed into a sword aura that could destroy all laws.

The next instant, Jiang Sheng unleashed a sword strike at the Divine Firmament Imperial Palace before him: "Break all laws!"

The dazzling sword light that cut through the heavens and shattered all laws struck the gate of the Divine Firmament Imperial Palace, causing this Mahayana-level Heavenly Court Imperial Palace to tremble. As a Mahayana residence built by the Heavenly Court, the Divine Firmament Imperial Palace was magnificent and majestic, occupying an area of ​​eight million li south of the Seventh Heavenly Palace, which could not be described as large.

This vast imperial palace is not only the Daoist temple of the Divine Firmament Emperor, but also houses his officials, servants, soldiers, and disciples. It includes workshops for forging weapons and armor, breeding grounds for spirit beasts, fields of spirit herbs, and orchards of spirit fruits.
Including the training grounds, barracks, and various buildings of the Dao soldiers, an imperial palace is essentially a country.

Originally, the Divine Firmament Imperial Palace stood on the seventh level of the Heavenly Court, undisturbed by anyone. But today, with Jiang Sheng's sword strike, not only did the palace gates of the Divine Firmament Imperial Palace gleam with brilliant light, but the entire Divine Firmament Imperial Palace was also shaken.

Immediately afterwards, Ling Yan waved his hand repeatedly, and millions of Dao soldiers pulled ten naval cannons, each a thousand feet in size, to advance. These naval cannons were siege weapons salvaged from the Flying Void-class warships, originally intended for destroying mountains and temples. Their use here in the Divine Firmament Imperial Palace was making the best use of them.

A mysterious light shone from the ten cannons. As the light collided, the ten cannons shot out ten beams of crimson light, each a hundred feet thick. In an instant, even the seventh heaven, surrounded by stars and illuminated by the sun and moon, was dimmed. It seemed that only the brilliant light emitted by the ten cannons remained in the world.

This sudden movement shook the entire Seventh Heavenly Palace, and the Eighth Heavenly Palace also sensed the commotion below. Amidst their surprise and doubt, all parties immediately began to investigate.

Meanwhile, Jiang Sheng, along with True Lord Yuanlong and True Lord Yuanlin, had already unleashed their magical treasures and begun a relentless bombardment of the Divine Firmament Imperial Palace.

Even the Great Vehicle Palace built by the Heavenly Court could not withstand such a fierce bombardment. Before long, the defensive array of the Divine Firmament Imperial Palace began to dim and flicker.

Inside the Divine Firmament Imperial Palace, the Divine Firmament Emperor stood atop the Heavenly Pavilion, gazing at Jiang Sheng and his men who were relentlessly bombarding the palace gates. His face, besides its ferocity, also held a hint of astonishment and bewilderment: "Ling Yuan, has he gone mad?!"

"He dares to attack my Divine Firmament Imperial Palace?!"

But seeing the increasingly fierce attack at the palace gate, even the somewhat insane Divine Emperor had to admit that there were people in the world more insane than him.

The Divine Firmament Emperor simply couldn't understand: what gave Ling Yuan the right to attack his Divine Firmament Imperial Palace?!
But seeing the commotion at the palace gate and the inescapable net spread across the four sides, and realizing that Jiang Sheng was serious, the Divine Emperor, though unwilling to admit it, felt a genuine sense of fear.

Although he looked down on Jiang Sheng, Jiang Sheng's methods and abilities were a nightmare he could never forget.

Back then, at the Fruition Banquet, he and Emperor Liuyuan faced Jiang Sheng together, and he was almost killed on the spot by Jiang Sheng's Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation; Emperor Shenxiao even suspected that if the entire battle had not been under the watchful eye of His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor, and if His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor had set up a restriction, Jiang Sheng would have really killed him!

And now, Jiang Sheng has indeed come knocking on my door. The nightmare of fighting Jiang Sheng resurfaced in Shenxiao Emperor's mind, causing him to shudder.

"Someone come here!"

"Order men to guard the palace gates, and activate all the magic arrays at full power. We must not let Lingyuan break in!"

"Then send people to the Bullfighting Palace for help, and send people to other imperial palaces for assistance!"

"How could they just stand by and watch Lingyuan attack my Divine Firmament Imperial Palace?!"

The Divine Emperor of Shenxiao has gone somewhat mad.

What Shenxiao Emperor didn't know was that others hadn't ignored him at all. Not to mention the immortal lords of the Eastern Heaven Daoist School, the group of Mahayana emperors of the Heavenly Court were actually planning to save him.

Emperor Qian Guang and Emperor Nan Ming, both from the same of the fifty-six imperial palaces, personally went to Shenxiao Imperial Palace to investigate. However, when they were still millions of miles away from Shenxiao Imperial Palace, they were intercepted by the Penglai Capital Army led by True Lord Shi Hua.

"The Heavenly Lord of Justice is currently suppressing a rebellion ahead; unauthorized personnel are not permitted to approach!"

Hearing the righteous words of True Lord Shihua, Emperor Qianguang almost laughed in anger: "Suppress the rebellion?"

"How did the suppression of the rebellion end up in the Divine Firmament Imperial Palace? Could it be that the Divine Firmament Emperor is a traitor to the Heavenly Court?"

"You all hurry up and get out of the way, lest you make a mistake!"

Master Hua Zhenjun sneered: "The soldiers of the Penglai Capital of the Heavenly Lord of Justice are arrayed!"

With the command flags waving, millions of Penglai Dao soldiers lined up in battle formation. At the same time, True Lord Shihua stepped forward: "Today I am not Shihua, the tenth generation true disciple of the Penglai Dao Sect, but merely a wandering immortal who has been invited by the Heavenly Lord of Justice to lead the Heavenly Lord of Justice's troops on patrol here. If you want to pass, it's easy. Just kill me and you can pass! As long as you are willing to be an enemy of the Heavenly Lord of Justice's Mansion."

Seeing Shi Hua Zhenjun's posture, Qian Guang Dijun hesitated.

Although True Lord Shihua said he was just a wandering immortal, the identity revealed in his words made Emperor Qianguang have to think about whether it was worth offending Penglai in the Eastern Heaven and the Penglai Spirit Abyss, which was currently gaining momentum, for the sake of a fallen Emperor Shenxiao.

After much deliberation, Emperor Qian Guang did not take that step, but coldly said, "Hmph, I will watch from here and see how the Heavenly Lord of Justice will explain to His Majesty afterwards!"

The same commotion that occurred on Shi Hua Zhenjun's side was also encountered on Shi Ping Zhenjun and Shi Jun Zhenjun's side. Shi Ping Zhenjun stopped Nanming Dijun, who was so angry that he repeatedly said he would report to His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor and impeach Jiang Sheng, but he never took any action. As for Shi Jun Zhenjun, Tianyun Dijun, who had just joined the Heavenly Court, said that he was just out for a stroll.

Elsewhere, whether it was the newly joined Heavenly Emperor Liuyuan, Spring and Autumn God, Zhenyue Star Lord, and Hundred-Year Star Lord, or the veteran Mahayana Heavenly Emperors Yuming, Growth, and Golden Universe, as well as a group of Sun and Moon Lords, they all remained on the sidelines, observing without making any rash moves.

The seventh heavenly palace, in the Western Taibai Palace.

Looking at the composed Taibai Star Lord and Fuyun Immortal Lord, Ye Wenshu couldn't help but feel impatient: "Immortal Lord! Lingyuan is about to break through the Divine Firmament Imperial Palace. If we don't stop him soon..."

Immortal Lord Fuyun laughed and said, "Your Highness Xuan Nu, what can we do if we don't stop it?"

"Speaking of this matter, you could have asked the Yuan Yi Sun Master of Penglai to come forward, or at least the Lan Zhen Moon Master or the Chi Yun Sun Master, whoever it is. Why do you have to ask me, someone who has no close relationship with the Eastern Heaven Daoist School, to come forward?"

"Moreover, Your Highness, haven't you already reported this matter to His Majesty? Has His Majesty issued any decree?"

Ye Wenshu sighed, "It's precisely because His Majesty did not issue a decree."

Immortal Lord Fuyun laughed and said, "The absence of an imperial decree is itself an imperial decree. It seems that His Majesty is unwilling to admit that there are disloyal people among his subordinates, so he simply ignores it. Your Highness should just wait and see."

"Don't you see that all thirty-six departments and fifty-six palaces in Heaven are just watching the show?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Wenshu fell silent, gazing towards the direction of the Divine Firmament Imperial Palace. Watching the massive mechanical puppets, each tens of thousands of feet tall, relentlessly bombarding the palace, she couldn't help but sigh, "For now, this is all we can do."

The eighth celestial palace, the Imperial Palace.

After the Emperor Emperor sensed the fluctuations in the Seventh Heavenly Palace, he immediately sent people to investigate. However, before the investigators returned, a servant reported: "Reporting, Lord Qinghua Ming and Lord Tianhe Xuanjian have come to visit."

Junming Daojun, Xuanjian Daojun?
Why are you visiting at this time?

Although the Emperor had doubts, he still invited the two Dao Lords in. Immediately, Dao Lord Junming said with a smile, "I have long heard that Fellow Daoist Emperor has extraordinary chess skills. Today, I am in the mood to play a few games with you."

Although the Emperor hesitated, he set up a chessboard and began playing against Daoist Junming, respecting the guest's presence. However, just as the game began, a servant rushed in to report: "Report! The source of the disturbance in the Seventh Heaven Palace is the Divine Firmament Imperial Palace!"

"The Heavenly Lord of Justice is attacking the Divine Firmament Imperial Palace!"

Jiang Sheng is attacking the Divine Firmament Imperial Palace of Shenxiao?!

The Emperor was startled and immediately realized the purpose of the arrival of Daoist Junming and Daoist Xuanjian. However, Daoist Junming seemed unaware of anything and was still smiling: "Fellow Daoist, make your move."

Seeing this, recalling the instructions of the Heavenly Emperor, the Supreme Emperor sighed and said, "Very well, I will play a game with you two today. However, you cannot move until I declare the game over!"

Jun Mingdaojun said with a smile, "Don't worry, don't worry, this game of chess will definitely be played to our hearts' content, even if it takes a thousand years!"

The Supreme Emperor was trapped in the Supreme Emperor Palace and could not get out. The other Pure Yang powerhouses turned a blind eye to the commotion. Whether it was the Demon Emperor Palace, the Golden Zen Temple, or the Heavenly Dragon Temple, which had close ties with the Eastern Heaven Daoist School, or the Great Spirit Sound Temple, which was an enemy of the Eastern Heaven Daoist School, none of them paid any attention to the commotion in the Seventh Heaven Palace.

Ultimately, the troubles of the nine realms of cultivation are no different from children playing house to those in the Pure Yang realm. If it weren't for the fact that the source of the trouble was Penglai Lingyuan, none of the Pure Yang cultivators would have bothered to investigate.

With the eighth heaven remaining silent and the seventh heaven attracting onlookers from all sides, the aid that the Divine Emperor had been hoping for never arrived.

Click.
Click.
With a sound like shattering glass, the defensive array covering the Divine Firmament Imperial Palace finally collapsed and crumbled under the astonished gaze of the Divine Firmament Emperor.

At the gates of the imperial palace, Jiang Sheng shattered the towering vermilion gates with a single sword strike. Under the excited or expectant gazes of twenty-three True Monarchs, including Ling Yan, Ming Dong, Xuan Xing, Zhu Yuzi, Su Jing Fairy, and Duobao Daoist, he raised his hand and waved:
"Charge in! Leave no one alive!"

In the next instant, the twenty-three True Monarchs of the Heavenly Judicial Palace, without any concealment, rushed into the Divine Firmament Imperial Palace, followed closely by millions of Dao soldiers.

As flames erupted within the Divine Firmament Imperial Palace, the Divine Firmament Emperor also sensed the figure of the Taoist priest far away at the palace gate: Penglai Lingyuan!

Jiang Sheng stood at the entrance of the imperial palace, calmly gazing at the majestic palace before him, his eyes fixed on the somewhat ferocious yet panicked Divine Emperor within the palace's celestial pavilion:

"Old man Shenxiao, I've come to kill you." (End of Chapter)
