Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

The Heavenly Tribulation of Shangqing is imminent!

As Lingyu chanted incantations and made hand seals, the Heavenly Eye of the Upper Clarity Thunder Mark between her brows shone with a magnificent divine power of heavenly thunder. The towering Thunder Lord Dharma Image behind her, standing 100,000 feet tall, also opened its heavenly eyes in fury. The majestic Dharma Image with three heads and six arms had nine eyes that seemed to contain nine thunder pools. An invisible and terrifying force descended upon the Linhai Dao Palace.

That was the tribulation lightning of the Three Calamities of Refining Emptiness, that was the divine might of the manifest Heavenly Dao, that was the thunderous light that created the world, that was the final annihilation of the last calamity.

In an instant, the area of ​​eight million li around the Linhai Dao Palace was shrouded and covered by boundless thunderous energy.

Lingyu, wearing a blue-purple crown adorned with thunderous patterns and a robe with cloud-and-rain jade-patterned thunder designs, hung high in the sky, reflecting the fierce winds and thunder. Her robes and ribbons fluttered in the wind, making her look like a celestial being.

Longyuan Daoist gritted his teeth, drawing upon the power of the stars to strengthen himself, while simultaneously burning his own essence, doing everything he could to maintain his peak condition.

"The star of destiny shines brightly, and the heavens guide you back to the divine!"

In an instant, a mysterious starlight shone down from the bright star that belonged to Daoist Longyuan in the starry sky.

The mysterious heavenly light shone on Daoist Longyuan, and immediately, Daoist Longyuan's own aura continued to rise, and the water-based Dharma image behind him also underwent changes.

As the Weak Water flowed and the starlight shone brightly, the original Water-Walking Dharma Image, with its Liang Crown and Feathered Robe and the dragon wrapped around its arm, transformed into the appearance of the Dragon Origin Daoist. Even the robes and feathered belts on its body and the magnificent crown and feathers on its head changed to be exactly the same.

As the Dharma form changed, the connection between Daoist Longyuan and the Dharma form became closer, and then they merged into one, condensing into a true body that stretched for ten thousand miles amidst the surging spiritual energy.

At this point, Daoist Longyuan stood with the sky above his head and mountains beneath his feet, holding the Weak Water Sword in one hand and the Hao Shui Banner in the other. With each step he took, the earth shook and the heavens trembled.

"Uncle-Master, don't you understand the current situation?"

"Forget about all that, let's use our strength to kill Lingyu first, then we'll go find the Crested Ibis!"

Before he finished speaking, the banner of the Dragon Yuan Daoist's true body moved, and like a heaven-splitting axe, it shattered the heavens and the earth, broke the void, and the vast Weak Water condensed into a hundred thousand miles of axe light that split the earth and opened the sky, transforming into a bolt of light that stretched for five million miles.

As Longyuan Daoist's true form was fully revealed, Mufeng Daoist sighed, and his figure then dissipated into the wind.

"Lingyu!"

"You say that we two are not upright in character and that our methods are not orthodox? Then let me show you the orthodox methods of my Qiankun Dao Sect!"

In an instant, the voice of Daoist Mufeng rang out from all directions, accompanied by the elusive wind, its form seemingly there yet not there, seemingly real yet illusory, making it difficult to pinpoint its location.

As the winds and currents crisscrossed, countless winds and currents converged and intertwined like ropes, forming a net that caught Ling Yu in the center.

At this point, Daoist Mufeng used the Wind and Rain Net to trap Lingyu, giving her no room to maneuver, while Daoist Longyuan used the Water Banner to unleash the earth-shattering and heaven-opening divine power to directly attack her. The cooperation between this master and nephew was so tacit that it was astonishing.

Lingyu, however, allowed Mu Feng Daoist and Long Yuan Daoist to make their moves, seemingly giving them time to prepare.

With both Daoist Mufeng and Daoist Longyuan having made their moves, Lingyu finally struck with her sword. As the Shangqing Heavenly Thunder, which had been held back, crashed down, all was silent, and time seemed to pause for a moment.

Seeing the Hao Shui Banner unleash axe light that swept across five million miles, and seeing Daoist Mu Feng manipulate countless winds into a net, just as the two True Monarchs of the Qiankun Dao Sect were about to launch their combined attack, with Ling Yu's sword strike, the thousands of Shangqing Heavenly Thunders condensed into a destructive lightning sword beam, which, under Ling Yu's guidance, pierced through the void and disappeared.

In that instant, time seemed to slow down.

In that instant, the lightning sword light surged across eight million miles of sky, shattering Longyuan Daoist's Weak Water Axe Light with a head-on collision, and then crashed into Longyuan Daoist with unstoppable force.

In an instant, the towering giant was blasted through the heart by a single blow, and its massive body crashed to the ground.

Seeing his junior disciple Long Yuan's supernatural powers shattered in a single blow, Daoist Mufeng was extremely anxious. Another bright star hung high in the sky.

The destiny star of Daoist Mufeng has also manifested in the sea of ​​stars.

As the auspicious star shone brightly, Daoist Mufeng was about to unleash his divine sense of starlight when a sword beam suddenly streaked towards him!
Lightning crackled, and the sword flashed like a ray of light sweeping through the clouds. Accompanied by a thunderous roar, the indigo blade unleashed a torrent of thunderous energy!

Daoist Mufeng stared in horror at Lingyu, who had suddenly appeared before him, only to see that the third eye between Lingyu's brows was filled with cold light: "You're still too impatient."

Before he could finish speaking, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword surged forth, bursting forth with layers of blood mist. Just as Daoist Mufeng was about to retreat, his soul was suddenly jolted as if he had heard a thunderous roar that seemed to suppress his soul. He was then caught off guard by this unexpected sword strike, which shattered his supernatural powers. He immediately suffered a backlash, and his aura instantly weakened.

At this point, Daoist Mufeng's aura weakened and his supernatural powers were thwarted, while Daoist Longyuan's true form and Dharma image were destroyed, resulting in severe injuries and a fall to the ground.

Lingyu looked up and saw that the majestic true body of the dragon had shattered into spots of spiritual light, leaving only the faint aura of the Dragon Origin Daoist on the ground, as if it were about to dissipate; and the Wood Wind Daoist was falling from the sky, his aura weakening like a meteor, as if he was about to fall.

However, seeing the disheveled state of Daoist Longyuan and Daoist Mufeng, Lingyu felt no joy or pleasure, only a calm and serene demeanor like that of Jiang Sheng.

"Tribulation lightning... You can actually summon tribulation lightning!"

Looking at Lingyu, who was slowly landing in front of him with a magic sword, Daoist Mufeng was filled with resentment. Who would have thought that the Refining Void Tribulation, which he had already survived once, would come back again, especially at such a crucial moment in the battle?

Otherwise, with his cultivation and abilities, he could have fought Lingyu for much longer, giving Longyuan a chance to recover.

Lingyu shook his head: "It is not that I triggered the tribulation lightning, but that the sword in my hand itself symbolizes the tribulation lightning."

Upon hearing this, Daoist Mufeng froze, while Lingyu walked straight past him to Daoist Longyuan's side.

Just as Daoist Longyuan was about to get up and fight back, Lingyu kicked him back to the ground. Looking down at Lingyu, who was looking down at him, Daoist Longyuan simply closed his eyes. Since he had already fallen into the hands of the Mountain and River Daoist family, he could afford to lose!

Ling Yu snorted lightly, her eyes full of contempt: "You, with your insignificance, dare to have a grudge against Ling Yuan?"

Long Yuan closed his eyes and said coldly, "If you're not as skilled, there's nothing more to say."

"I accept temporary setbacks!"

Unexpectedly, Lingyu shook her head: "It's not a matter of success or failure in a short time. You have lost, so don't expect me to take you back. Since you have lost, just stay here."

Before the words were finished, Ling Yu's Immortal Slaying Sword pierced straight through Long Yuan's brow. As the sharp sword pierced through Long Yuan's head, the intent of the final calamity and the breath of the three disasters were released within Long Yuan's skull, directly shattering Long Yuan's sea of ​​consciousness and destroying his true spirit.

Suddenly, a star in the sky shone brightly, then quickly dimmed, disintegrated, and fell into countless meteors.

Mu Feng stared in horror at the scene, his eyes filled with disbelief: "Ling Yu! How dare you!"

Ling Yu said coldly, "What wouldn't I dare to do?"

"Since you dared to attack Fairy Suqin, why shouldn't I attack you in return?"

"The cause and effect of today is entirely due to your selfish desires."

"If you dare to lay a hand on the true teachings of my Mountain and River Daoist School, I will not utter a single word of objection."

"It's one thing that you don't have the guts to attack my Mountain and River Daoist family, but you also have to drag others into it."

"Since you dare to provoke this battle out of your own selfish desires, then you must be prepared to be reborn into the cycle of reincarnation after your defeat!" Ling Yu's words had barely finished when a voice rang out from afar: "Well said!"

Upon hearing this, Lingyu felt a sudden sense of alarm and looked over warily.

The speaker was neither the crested ibis nor Suqin, but a strange Taoist priest!

As Lingyu looked up, she saw a figure slowly walking towards her.

The Taoist priest wore a seven-star moon crown, a light gold eight-trigram robe, a dragon-shaped jade belt around his waist, and a pair of precious jade square boots on his feet.

The Taoist was handsome and had an extraordinary aura. His magical robes, the jade pendant hanging from his waist, and the swaying one-horned Pixiu following behind him all indicated that he was no ordinary person.

Upon meeting Lingyu, he first bowed according to the proper etiquette of the Xuanmen Taoist tradition before saying, "Although my affiliation is different from yours, I quite agree with what you have said."

As he spoke, the Taoist looked at Long Yuan, who had already perished in the cycle of reincarnation, and then at Mu Feng, and couldn't help but sigh: "Alas."

"Junior Brother Mu Feng, Junior Nephew Long Yuan, tell me, why are you doing this?"

"As soon as I received your message, I rushed over as fast as I could, but I was still a step too late."

Master Mufeng quickly forced himself to stand up and came to the other Taoist's side, bowing respectfully, "Senior Brother, I'm sorry to have troubled you. But what about Nephew Longyuan?"

Looking at the Taoist's completely unguarded appearance, Lingyu felt no joy but rather vigilance: the person's calm demeanor and the spiritual aura in his movements indicated that he was no ordinary Dongxuan.

A True Monarch of the Void Refining Realm?
Or is it a Profound Being at the Integration Realm?
If this Taoist priest is now seeking revenge for Long Yuan, then it seems she has no choice but to run away.

It would be easy for her to run away, but now that there is no news of the crested ibis and Suqin, what should she do?

For a moment, Lingyu was also uncertain.

The Taoist priest smiled as he looked at Lingyu, who seemed to be facing a formidable enemy. "Don't worry, fairy. Before I came, I went to the dungeon of the Taoist Palace. I have already released the Crested Ibis Demon Lord and Fairy Suqin, but they cannot leave for the time being."

As he spoke, the Taoist looked at Mu Feng again, his tone full of disappointment: "We are both from the Xuanmen sect, even if we are from different factions, we should still keep some bottom lines."

"It's one thing to capture Fairy Suqin, but to resort to torture and other underhanded methods is unacceptable. What will become of the reputation of the Qiankun Dao Sect if word gets out?"

After speaking, the Taoist looked at Long Yuan's corpse, his tone turning colder than before: "It is true that we are enemies with the Mountain and River Taoist School, but you have no bottom line in your actions. Do you expect others to have a bottom line in the future?"

"If you do the first thing, don't blame others for doing the fifteenth. Long Yuan has fallen to this state. No matter how you look at it, it's his own fate that has come. He has no one to blame but himself."

Upon hearing this, Lingyu finally couldn't help but speak up: "What you say sounds nice, True Lord, but why did you force the Crested Ibis and Suqin to stay?"

The Taoist priest said with a hint of helplessness, "I kept the two of them here for their own good, so you can rest assured about that."

"To be honest, I don't have any ill intentions towards you. After all, it's just a battle between a group of junior cultivators at the Void Refinement stage. Moreover, your lightning technique is quite remarkable, which pleases me greatly."

"The jade pendant on your body indicates that you are a true disciple of the Penglai Dao Sect. Among the Ling generation of the Penglai Dao Sect, you should be Ling Yu, right?"

"While I'm in a good mood, you should go back now."

"Go back and get reinforcements. Whether they are from the Yuan generation or the Shi generation in Penglai, just call them over."

"Tell them that if they want to have a showdown before the big battle, they shouldn't send the juniors. They should come to Yanzhou instead. I'm willing to have a good fight with them."

Lingyu looked at the Integration Realm True Monarch of the Qiankun Dao Sect before her and asked, "May I ask your name, True Monarch?"

The Taoist chuckled softly: "Qiankun Dao Sect, Ling Feng."

Zhuzhou, the Seven Wonders Cave of Jiutou Mountain.

Inside the cave, Venerable Yellow Eyebrows, Lord Shaobai of the Underworld, and True Lord of the Four Seas all wore solemn expressions, while Lingyu's face was even more gloomy.

After a long silence, Shao Bai Mingjun broke the somber atmosphere in the cave: "Lingfeng Zhenjun, this man was a renowned figure throughout the heavens five thousand years ago."

The Yellow-Eyebrowed Venerable asked with some curiosity, "Forgive my impertinence, but this is True Lord Lingfeng?"

Just as Shao Bai Mingjun was about to speak, Ling Yu said, "Let me speak."

As she spoke, Lingyu sighed and rubbed her temples: "True Lord Lingfeng attained enlightenment 7,500 years ago and became famous 6,500 years ago."

"Over a thousand years, he advanced rapidly from the Foundation Establishment of Heavenly Dao, to the High-Grade Golden Core, to the Taiyi Nascent Soul, and finally to the Taiyi Primordial Spirit, ascending to the Refinement of Emptiness and attaining the Profound Dao Fruit."

"Afterwards, he traveled to all the heavens and visited all the holy lands of the world. He had excellent relationships with the divine path, the Xuanmen, and the Buddhist school. At that time, among all the heavens and myriad worlds, True Lord Lingfeng was the unanimously recognized leader of the Xuanmen of that generation."

"After ascending to the Void Refinement Realm and attaining the Profound Dao Fruit, he broke through the three Void Refinement Tribulations in just 1,500 years."

"Five thousand years ago, he used his cultivation at the peak of the Void Refining Realm to defeat a great demon at the Integration Realm. After that, he gathered his three flowers at the top of his head and entered the Integration Realm. After that, there was no news of him."

"He disappeared for five thousand years, and everyone thought he had perished in the tribulation of the fusion stage, but unexpectedly he overcame the five tribulations of heaven and man and emerged from seclusion."

Upon hearing this, a look of horror flashed in Venerable Yellow Eyebrows' eyes. One thousand years to attain enlightenment and refine the void, one thousand five hundred years to overcome the three calamities, and five thousand years to break through the five tribulations of heaven and man. Then, wouldn't True Monarch Lingfeng be...?
Lingyu looked worried: "If I'm not mistaken, he is now a Fifth Tribulation True Monarch."

Five Tribulations True Lord!

It is a title of honor reserved for great beings who have overcome the five tribulations of the Heavenly Human Realm and condensed the five elements within their hearts.

Beings at this level have already achieved the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top and the Five Qi Converging at the Origin, and are only one mysterious opportunity away from reaching Pure Yang. They can truly be called the number one below Pure Yang.

A Fifth Tribulation True Monarch from the Qiankun Dao Sect has emerged from seclusion!

Such news is bound to cause a huge uproar.

Shao Bai Mingjun, Si Hai Zhenjun, and Huang Mei Zun Zhe all looked at Ling Yu, waiting for the thoughts of this peak master of Tianxuan Peak of Penglai Dao Sect.

Lingyu slowly said, "Everyone, things have come to this point. Since the Crested Ibis Demon Lord and Fairy Suqin have both fallen into the hands of the Qiankun Dao Sect, and such a figure has appeared on the other side, then there is no need for you to take any more risks."

"Lingyu will inform the sect and ask the sect elders to take action."

Having said that, Lingyu's expression had returned to calm.

They are merely Fifth Tribulation True Monarchs. Naturally, the Ling and Dao generations do not possess them, but Penglai is not limited to these two generations of true disciples.

"I have already sent a message to the sect, requesting the senior uncles and elder brothers of the Shi and Yuan generations to take action!" (End of this chapter)
