Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

Weiyujie.

The demon race resides in the southeast of the Chaos Realm.

The Weiyu region is characterized by a round sky and a square earth, vast and boundless. To the east, the mountains and rivers are beautiful; to the south, the mountains stretch endlessly; to the west, the starry sea is boundless; and to the north, a solitary peak stands coldly.
The Weiyu Realm is a vast world of feathered races among the Yinglinmaoyukun. Birds and feathers are revered. Although there are five sacred lands of demon races, it always uses the name of Tianyu Palace to the outside world and rarely uses the names of the various sacred lands.

The five sacred lands of the Feather Clan—Qingzhanjian in the east, Danhuozhang in the south, Xingxiuhai in the west, Hekongshan in the north, and Tongminggong in the center—divided the east, west, south, north, and center of the Feather Realm, with Qingzhanjian and Tongminggong being particularly powerful.

This is not only because of the marriage alliance between Qingzhanjian and Tongming Palace, but also because the Chongming clan of Tongming Palace is one of the most powerful in terms of supernatural abilities, and can be considered one of the best among the innate saints; as for the Qingluan clan of Qingzhanjian, they are one of the five types of phoenixes, and with Kunlun Yaochi as their backing, the Qingluan clan is also very confident.

Today, however, Qingzhanjian has clearly lost the elegance and composure of the naturally feathered creatures, and has gained a sense of impatience and unease.

Green Stream, Phoenix Terrace.

If Qingzhanjian is the sacred ancestral land of the Qingluan clan, then Luanfengtai is the core of that ancestral land.

Only the patriarch, elders, and true prodigies of the Azure Phoenix Clan are allowed to enter this place. It is the place where the Azure Phoenix Clan issues commands, the place where bloodlines are passed down, and the place where the elders go into seclusion.

Normally, the elders of the Azure Phoenix clan stay here in seclusion to guard the core and the inheritance. If the Azure Phoenix clan is in danger of collapse, the elders will come out to save the day.

Besides their ancestor being a pure Yang being, the Azure Phoenix Clan also has a clan leader and four elders, totaling five Mahayana cultivators. Looking across the heavens, they can be considered a powerful holy land with a well-established lineage. However, at this moment, the clan leader and the three elders in the Phoenix Terrace all had solemn expressions.

Qingzhanjian is considered a first-class holy land, whether in the Weiyu Realm or in the myriad realms. However, this time they are facing the Eastern Heaven Daoist School of the Three Realms.

The Three Realms and the Vast Thousand Worlds, the Eastern Heavenly Daoist School!
If Qingzhanjian can barely be considered first-rate in the myriad realms, and the Kunlun Yaochi they rely on is a top-tier Daoist holy land in the myriad realms, then the Eastern Heaven Daoist School is even above Kunlun Yaochi, and is the one that leads the prosperity of the myriad realms.

The so-called second-rate, first-rate, and top-tier rankings of various forces in the myriad realms have never included the Eastern Heavenly Daoist School, the Western Heavenly Buddhist School, or the Heavenly Court, because these rankings are all contested by those who have entered the Dao and those who hold the Dao, while those who wield the Dao and possess the true Yang have long since transcended worldly affairs and are not included in their names.

A single Daoist Pure Yang can bring prosperity to a region and ensure the continuous fortune of a sacred land, while each Daoist True Yang can dominate the fortune of all things.

The Eastern Heavenly Daoist School has already demonstrated its unquestionable authority through the destruction of numerous sacred sites and the severance of its lineages.

Tianyuan Realm, Jiuzhou Realm, Xuanhuang Realm, Xuanhu Realm, Huayang Realm, Zuoshen Realm, Jiushi Realm
Regardless of which realm or sect, whether it is the Xuanmen or the Hexiemen, they all possess a lineage far surpassing Qingzhanjian and even the entire Tianyu Palace. These realms all have Pure Yang cultivators at the Dao-holding realm suppressing their fortunes, and some realms even have more than one Pure Yang cultivator holding the Dao!
These vast worlds and these lineages are first-class or even top-tier across all the heavens!
Yet, all these great worlds, those first-rate and even top-tier lineages of Taoism, were buried by the Eastern Heaven Taoism in just over a hundred years.
Seven Great Thousand Realms, Nine Sacred Lands!
The Eastern Heavenly Daoist School is so powerful that it's almost despair-inducing.

In the present world, the Three Realms and the Great Thousand World are the absolute core, the center of all the heavens, and the Three Realms and the Great Thousand World are revered by the three directions.

The Eastern Heavenly Taoism, the Western Heavenly Buddhism, and the Three Realms Heavenly Court firmly dominate the fortunes of the Xuanmen, Buddhist, and Divine Paths in all the myriad realms. Among them, the Eastern Heavenly Taoism is considered the pinnacle, with three Supreme Daoist Venerables standing side by side.

It takes courage to face such a behemoth.

The five holy lands of the Weiyu Realm combined only have five Daoist Pure Yang cultivators. They would be utterly defeated by any of the Great Thousand Holy Lands that were destroyed by the Eastern Heaven Daoist School, let alone the Eastern Heaven Daoist School, which swallowed them all up and crushed their lineages.

As for Qingzhanjian?
Even if the five holy lands of the Weiyu Realm worked together, they might not be taken seriously by the Eastern Heaven Daoist. Otherwise, why would they need to rely on Kunlun Yaochi?
But now, they are facing off against this colossal behemoth that can devour the heavens.
"Qinghua still needs to be saved."

"At least we are only facing that Heavenly Lord of Justice, not really confronting Penglai."

In the Phoenix Terrace, looking at the somber group, the patriarch of the Azure Phoenix Clan, the Azure Cloud-Breaking Demon Lord, Qing Zhan, spoke thus.

As Qingzhan spoke, a gentle and melodious female voice rang out: "Little Qingming has made it very clear that Qinghua cannot hold out for long. We must resolve this matter as soon as possible, no matter what price that Heavenly Lord offers, we must accept it, otherwise the fortune of the Qingluan clan will decline even further."

The speaker was Qingming's mother, the demon lord Qingyu Zhuangyan.

As these two spoke, the other two elders nodded in agreement. Qinghua was not only their fellow Daoist, but also their kin. No matter what, they could not stand idly by and watch Qinghua suffer in the Three Realms.

As for how the clan leader Qingzhan and the demon lord Zhuangyan addressed Jiang Sheng, no one corrected them. After all, Jiang Sheng's duty in the Three Realms was to be the Heavenly Lord of Justice, and the demon lord Zhentian and Qinghua had proven to all the heavens and myriad realms that Jiang Sheng was worthy of the Heavenly Lord of Justice's position.

Therefore, Jiang Sheng's title in all the heavens and myriad realms has changed from True Lord of Penglai Spirit Abyss to Heavenly Lord of Justice.

The Third Elder, Qing Zheng, said, "Qing Yan, it's not appropriate for you to handle this matter yourself. After all, you are Qing Ming's mother. If you go, it will inevitably cause that Heavenly Lord to misunderstand. And once the clan leader sets off, there will be no possibility of further mediation. So let me go instead."

Qingzhan nodded: "That's feasible. Take one-tenth of the clan's rare and precious materials and divine iron with you first. Whether it works out or not, just be polite. As long as that person asks, and as long as we can do it, we'll agree." "After all, we don't have the confidence to resist right now."

At this point, Qingzhan couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, and Qingyan, the First Elder Qingzhuo, and the Third Elder Qingzheng also sighed: Ever since the Ancestor returned injured from the Time Realm and then went into seclusion, Qingzhanjian seemed to still be powerful, but that was only within the Weiyu Realm. In fact, in all the myriad realms, he had long instructed his clansmen to keep a low profile and try not to cause trouble.

Qingzhanjian can no longer withstand any fluctuations.

The Three Realms and the Great Thousand Worlds, the Southern Heavenly Gate.

Looking at the wide jade platform with 9,990 steps in front of him and the South Heavenly Gate high in the auspicious clouds, Qingzheng couldn't help but straighten his clothes again.

The South Heavenly Gate, a crucial thoroughfare connecting the three realms and the vast universe, is bathed in a myriad of radiant clouds and auspicious wisps. Two jade pillars, adorned with coiled dragons, gleam with golden light, illuminating all directions. Seven-colored rainbows swirl around the gates, transforming into auspicious omens. Beneath the continuous vermilion palace walls, heavenly soldiers and generals patrol, while on either side of the layers of jade steps stand countless divinely crafted battle puppets.

Not to mention Qingzheng, all living beings who come and go from the South Heavenly Gate, whether they are immortals, gods, demons, Buddhas, beings from the Three Realms, or outsiders, cannot help but take a second look at these fighting puppets standing on the jade steps.

These battle puppets were thousands of feet tall, each wielding a spear and halberd and clad in heavy armor. The spiritual patterns and magical restrictions covering their bodies revealed their formidable combat power. Qing Zheng, a Mahayana Demon Lord, could even sense the ferocious power hidden beneath the heavy armor of these seemingly lifeless and dull battle puppets.

These puppets were all forged by the Heavenly Court using mechanical immortal techniques and assembled by divine craftsmanship. Each one possesses power comparable to the Integration Realm. Most importantly, these are not only the latest combat forces created by the Heavenly Court, but also combat forces that can be mass-produced.

Qing Zheng glanced at them and calculated the number of these fighting puppets: three thousand nine hundred and ninety-six!
Nearly four thousand battle puppets, four thousand combined combatants, were left outside the South Heavenly Gate by the Heavenly Court to be exposed to the elements. Each of these battle puppets was a rare treasure in the Weiyu Realm, a core force that could protect the true bloodline of the clan during their training and safeguard the holy land.

Any sacred place would not allow these treasures to be exposed to the sun and rain here; they would carefully preserve them, maintain them day and night, and treat them as a trump card of the sacred place.

If Qingzhanjian had such combat puppets, even just ten would give them more confidence.

Meanwhile, the Heavenly Court placed four thousand statues outside the South Heavenly Gate in one go!

Or should it just be displayed nakedly on the jade steps as a sculpture?

Four thousand! Four thousand fighting puppets comparable to the combined form, that's enough to wipe out the Weiyu Realm a hundred or so times over.

Where does the Heavenly Court get its confidence to dominate the Three Realms and look down on all the worlds?

This can be seen from these fighting puppets.

Suddenly, Qing Zheng, who had been carrying many rare and precious materials, felt less confident. If he had been somewhat confident before, now, looking at these priceless mechanical puppets, he couldn't help but wonder if the one-tenth of the Qingluan clan's accumulated wealth over ten thousand years could really be taken seriously by that Judicial Heavenly Lord.
Stepping onto the jade steps, gazing at the vast platform paved entirely with spirit jade and inlaid with black iron and silver, Qing Zheng was once again shocked by the extravagance of the Heavenly Court. The spirit jade and black iron that Qingzhanjian had used sparingly, daring only to use on the Luanfeng Terrace, were now piled up in large swathes outside the South Heavenly Gate by the Heavenly Court, becoming steps for people to pass through and tread upon.
When he reached the South Heavenly Gate by following the jade steps, looking at the rows of crouching spirit dogs, the gleaming armored heavenly soldiers, and the eight exceptionally tall and robust mechanical puppets whose auras were comparable to those of a third-stage Daoist, Qing Zheng was already numb.

The wealth and power of the Heavenly Court are truly breathtaking.

"Mahayana Buddhism in the outside world?"

"Where do we come from, and where are we going?"

The heavenly general guarding the South Heavenly Gate looked at the unfamiliar Qing Zheng and immediately knew that this was his first time visiting the Three Realms.

Qing Zheng had been numb from being intimidated by the Heavenly Court all the way, and even when facing a small Heavenly General on duty, he did not have any of the arrogance of a Mahayana cultivator from a holy land: "I am a being from the Weiyu Realm, an elder of the Tianyu Palace of the Weiyu Realm. I have come to the Three Realms to seek an audience with the Judicial Heavenly Lord."

Requesting an audience with the Heavenly Lord of Justice?!
The celestial general on duty looked at Qing Zheng suspiciously for a moment, then, recalling the several large and small feathered creatures that the Heavenly Lord of Justice had captured from the heavens some time ago, he immediately understood the purpose of this Heavenly Feather Palace elder's visit.

Qingzheng then quietly took something out of his sleeve and put it into the storage bag of the guardian general. It was unclear why the storage bag of the guardian general was open; it was probably to prevent things from being lost without being noticed.

Sensing that something had been added to his storage bag, the celestial general on duty immediately smiled, quickly stamped the pass book, issued a temporary bronze token, and casually reminded him: "The Judicial Heavenly Lord's Palace is located in the seventh heavenly palace, which is the residence of the thirty-six departments and fifty-six palaces of the Heavenly Court, and is heavily guarded."

"Even immortals and gods of the Three Realms find it difficult to enter, and beings from the outside world must have their seals affixed to the third and sixth Heavenly Palaces to obtain a passage jade token."

"If Your Excellency had some connections in the Three Realms, it might be more convenient." (End of Chapter)
