Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

boom!
The crimson sun, stretching for millions of miles, burst forth with brilliant flames, and from within it came a deafening, earth-shattering dragon's roar.

Immediately afterwards, a crimson dragon soaring through the clouds flew out from the corona and collided with the golden and jade-like one-horned Pixiu.

The next instant, the two strange beasts began to fight in the world.

It seemed that the vast expanse of land, spanning millions of miles, was insufficient for the two strange beasts to unleash their power, as they fought so fiercely that the heavens and earth trembled and the mountains and rivers shook.

Neither Yangyan Yuanyi Zhenjun nor Qianxuan Lingfeng Zhenjun glanced in that direction.

Whether it's a Pixiu or a Chilong, these innate deities each have their own peculiar temperaments, but they all have one thing in common: they follow the strong and those who have the potential to become pure Yang beings.

Lingfeng Zhenjun smiled and was quite humble and polite: "I have long heard that Yangyan Yuanyi Zhenjun of Penglai is accompanied by a Chilong, who is extraordinary in martial arts. Seeing it today, I can confirm it is true."

"This dragon must have cultivated for ten thousand years, right?"

Yuan Yi Zhenjun shook his head: "It is already 15,000 years old, but it has indeed been by my side for 10,000 years."

Upon hearing this, True Lord Lingfeng's expression suddenly became solemn: "True Lord Yuanyi, I have always had a question that I would like to ask True Lord for guidance. Whether True Lord responds or not is entirely up to True Lord's will."

Yuan Yi Zhenjun frowned slightly at first, then relaxed and said, "Please."

But Lingfeng Zhenjun's expression was extremely serious: "Yuanyi Zhenjun, is that step really that difficult to cross?"

That step!
Yuan Yi Zhenjun never expected that Ling Feng Zhenjun would ask him this.

For a moment, the world seemed to freeze. Even the Pixiu and Chilong that were fighting stopped, and the two innate deities tilted their heads to look at Yuanyi Zhenjun.

Yuan Yi Zhenjun sighed softly, "Ling Feng Zhenjun, you're not even eight thousand years old yet, are you?"

Lingfeng Zhenjun nodded: "Seven thousand five hundred and thirty-three."

Yuan Yi Zhenjun said quietly, "You're so young. Ling Feng Zhenjun, do you know how old I am?"

Before Lingfeng Zhenjun could answer, Yuanyi Zhenjun said, "I am the second person of the Yuan generation in Penglai to join the sect in a thousand years. I formed the core at the age of 60, became a Nascent Soul at 800, a Primordial Spirit at 1,500, and attained the Dongxuan Dao Fruit and the Refining Void Dao at 2,600."

"Compared to my fellow disciples, I cannot be called a prodigy; I can only be described as mediocre."

"Subsequently, at the age of 5,600, I broke through the ultimate realm of Void Refinement, attained the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, and stepped into the realm of Integration."

"It took another five thousand years to overcome the five tribulations of fusion, prove the Five Qi Convergence, and be honored as the True Lord of the Five Tribulations."

"And now, another five thousand five hundred years have passed."

"I am still in the realm of the Fifth Tribulation True Monarch."

Upon hearing this, True Lord Lingfeng felt solemn. True Lord Yuanyi said he was mediocre, but what mediocre person could attain the Dao Fruit of the Cave Profound Realm and then successively overcome the Three Calamities of Refining Emptiness and the Five Tribulations of Uniting the Body to attain the Dao Fruit of the Five Tribulations True Lord.

The so-called mediocrity is less a matter of saying that Yuan Yi Zhenjun took the most solid steps, walking step by step without deviation, with each step landing firmly on the ground.

Three thousand years to pass the Refining Void Tribulation, five thousand years to pass the Integration Tribulation, the first two thousand six hundred years to lay a solid foundation, and then a thousand years to reach a new realm, in just eight thousand years he has already reached the level of a Fifth Tribulation True Monarch. Can this be called mediocre?
Just thinking about how reliable Yuan Yi Zhenjun was, having remained immersed in the realm of the Fifth Tribulation Zhenjun for five thousand five hundred years without encountering that mysterious secret, made Ling Feng Zhenjun sigh softly: "The Pure Yang Dao Fruit, how difficult it is."

Yuan Yi Zhenjun said calmly, "Among the myriad worlds, there are thirty-six great worlds, and countless medium and small worlds. Even in the small worlds, there are hundreds of millions of living beings. There are countless beings in the heavens, and heroes are as numerous as carp crossing a river. Can you really count them all?"

"With so many realms, how many Pure Yang beings have been born since the beginning of this era?"

"True Lord Lingfeng, taking each step steadily is better than anything else."

As soon as he finished speaking, True Monarch Lingfeng nodded slowly: "Thank you for clearing up my doubts, True Monarch Yuanyi. Although our formations are different, I will remember your kindness in clearing up my doubts today."

Having said that, a vast and turbulent wind swept in, and True Lord Lingfeng raised his hand and drew out a three-foot-long sword of pure blue-gold color from the wind: "But today, I still need to fight True Lord Yuanyi to see who is better."

In an instant, a thousand winds surged and swirled, converging into a myriad of phenomena and mysteries that roared forth. Accompanied by the sweeping winds, a streak of azure-gold sharpness pierced through layers of spatial barriers, tearing apart heaven and earth. With a single sword strike, the sun and moon lost their light.

Gazing at the sword light that was powerful enough to tear apart the sun's corona, True Monarch Yuanyi narrowed his eyes, casually grabbed a crimson-gold sword, and with a wave of his hand, three streams of great sun flames roared out, colliding with the azure-gold sword light.

In an instant, all was silent and the world trembled. The first test by the two Fifth Tribulation True Monarchs was like the collision of two continents, causing the world within a radius of tens of millions of miles to shake continuously. On the sea outside Yanzhou, billions of tons of seawater were stirred up by such great power, creating towering waves that surged straight into the sky. Wave after wave crashed against the shore, as if to swallow the entire Linhai Dao Palace.

Neither Yuan Yi Zhenjun nor Ling Feng Zhenjun paid any attention to this scene.

After their initial probing, the two True Lords separated instantly. True Lord Lingfeng then summoned an ancient jade seal, no larger than an inch in size: "Mountains and Rivers Inside and Out."

In the next instant, the world changed dramatically. The vast ocean transformed into mountains and rivers, the sea of ​​clouds hung high and the bright moon shone in the sky, and a brand new world had already encompassed Yuan Yi Zhenjun.

Yuan Yi Zhenjun gazed at the starry sky and bright moon, his eyes scanning the surroundings. His brow furrowed slightly, and one of his heavenly eyes slowly opened: "Since this is a land of mountains and rivers, how can there be a moon but no sun?"

Before the words were finished, the Heavenly Eye Cave illuminated the bright moon in the sky. Its mysterious light shattered the moon and transformed into the sun. As the crimson sun replaced the bright moon, all the stars faded away, and the sky and earth became clear and bright.

"This world is wonderful, but unfortunately, it's like the moon reflected in a mirror or flowers seen through the mist; the false is never the true."

Having said that, Yuan Yi Zhenjun's thoughts stirred slightly, and the crimson sun above his head suddenly shone forth with boundless scorching heat, burning the heavens and earth. In an instant, the earth dried up and cracked, and mountains and rivers collapsed. Just as this world was about to be reduced to nothingness under the scorching sun, suddenly heavy clouds and mist came and blocked the sunlight.

Lingfeng Zhenjun laughed and said, "The moon in the well, the flower in the mist, the moon is bright and the flower is abundant, the false is real and the real is false."

"The landscape is as beautiful as a mirror or the moon in the water."

In an instant, with the laughter of True Monarch Lingfeng, the clouds and mist swirled and filled the world, the parched mountains and rivers were covered by the vast ocean, the water surged, the clouds and mist filled the sky, and layers of illusions appeared between the water and mist.

It features mountain scenery with towering peaks and flowing water, seascapes with vast blue waves, and various other landscapes such as celestial palaces in the clouds and dragon palaces beneath the sea.

Each time a dream unfolds, a new layer of mysterious changes is added to the world, and one of the previously hidden stars in the sky will light up.

As hundreds of different scenes overlapped one after another, the hundreds of stars hidden in the sky also emitted bright light to illuminate this small world. Yuan Yi Zhenjun looked at the endless illusions of hundreds of illusions overlapping, and at the faint glow hidden behind the illusions above his head. A trace of surprise and admiration flashed in his eyes.

"A thousand illusions, a thousand profound techniques, truly worthy of being called the Thousand Profound Wind True Monarch."

In response to Yuan Yi Zhenjun, there were layers upon layers of heaven and earth restrictions.

Each illusion is a world, a restriction; hundreds of illusions are thousands of worlds, thousands of restrictions.

No wind, no water, no fire, no travel, no law.
With layers upon layers of restrictions stacked upon each other, if it were a single one, True Monarch Yuanyi would naturally ignore it. However, as the restrictions continued to accumulate, the originally weak rules of the restrictions became more and more complete and increasingly difficult to resist. When the thousand layers of heaven and earth restrictions pressed down simultaneously, it was as if a thousand worlds had suddenly descended. Under such unparalleled power, even True Monarch Yuanyi, who had achieved the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top and the Five Qi Converging at the Origin, felt as if he were trapped in a swamp, unable to move an inch, and subjected to an immense pressure.

In an instant, even the immortal bones of True Lord Yuanyi, which had endured countless calamities and tribulations, cracked under the immense pressure, as if they were about to be crushed into mincemeat.

The greater the pressure, the brighter Yuan Yi Zhenjun's eyes became. It was merely a test between the two sides. Although they were both Fifth Tribulation Zhenjuns, Yuan Yi Zhenjun and Ling Feng Zhenjun were not of the same generation, and Yuan Yi Zhenjun was not very clear about Ling Feng Zhenjun's methods.

However, after these tests, Yuan Yi Zhenjun had gained some understanding of Ling Feng Zhenjun's supernatural abilities and had developed countermeasures.

Beyond the mountains and rivers, True Monarch Lingfeng formed hand seals, refining the ancient jade seal that was no more than an inch in size in front of him.

Within this jade seal, which is only an inch in size, lies a thousand worlds and countless supernatural powers. Yuan Yi Zhenjun is currently trapped inside this jade seal, and even if Yuan Yi Zhenjun uses all his methods, he cannot harm Ling Feng Zhenjun in the slightest.

The Taoist concept of "the sun and moon in a pot, the universe in a sleeve" is just that—mysterious. A single jade seal can contain boundless heaven and earth, and a single sleeve can swallow the entire starry sky.

However, as Lingfeng Zhenjun continued to refine the essence, his expression became unusually solemn.

In the next instant, within the jade seal, the sun blazed forth with boundless waves of fire, and all the restrictions and heavenly rules vanished in an instant under the scorching heat of the great sun.

As the chains of restriction crumbled one by one, the myriad illusions of the world rapidly faded away, layer by layer.

All that could be seen was the Dao Wheel behind Yuan Yi Zhenjun's head, symbolizing his Dongxuan Dao Fruit, emitting thousands of rays of light, which caused the million-mile-long sun crown to become even more violent. Under the scorching sun, the thousand layers of illusions had become almost invisible and transparent.

Seeing that his magic weapon was about to be destroyed by Yuan Yi Zhenjun, Ling Feng Zhenjun had no choice but to release Yuan Yi Zhenjun first.

It's not worth losing a magical artifact for a mere trial battle.

However, the moment Yuan Yi Zhenjun emerged from the jade seal, a crimson and golden stream of fire, shaped like a dragon, rushed straight towards Ling Feng Zhenjun.

However, before the fiery dragon could reach three thousand feet in front of Lingfeng Zhenjun, it was annihilated by the turbulent winds and currents, leaving only a few sparks.

“True Lord Yuanyi, this little fire won’t burn me.”

"Even the nearly perfected Southern Bright Fire of the Crested Ibis couldn't burn through my protective aura, so your half-true, half-false Great Sun Golden Flame is even less powerful."

Lingfeng Zhenjun's voice swept in with the wind, and as his voice spread, the myriad winds instantly transformed into wind blades and arrows that whistled towards him.

Looking at these seemingly chaotic and vulnerable wind blades, Yuan Yi Zhenjun showed no sign of contempt.

In the nine realms of cultivation, the upper three realms, the Refining Void Realm, begin to come into contact with the laws of heaven and earth and the rules of the Great Dao. By the time one reaches the Integration Realm, the laws and the Dao are already within reach.

For a True Monarch of the Fifth Tribulation like Lingfeng Zhenjun, it is nothing more than an easy task to invoke the laws of heaven and earth with a single thought and to connect the traces of the Great Dao with a single technique.

These wind blades in front of us may seem like just a casual strike from True Monarch Lingfeng, but hidden behind them are traces of the Dao that belong to the Great Dao of Wind!

If one were to be grazed or scraped by these wind blades, it would not be just a matter of losing a piece of flesh; one's very soul and spirit would also be injured.

However, Yuan Yi Zhenjun, looking at these wind blades, had no intention of retreating.

As fellow Fifth Tribulation True Monarchs, he was 7,500 years older than Lingfeng True Monarch. Although they were both Fifth Tribulation True Monarchs, the accumulated foundation of those 7,500 years was not something Lingfeng True Monarch could easily ignore.

With a flick of his hand and a hand seal, a point of crimson fire rose fiercely from Yuan Yi Zhenjun's hand, then transformed into a raging inferno that scorched through the millions of miles of sky.

The next moment, Yuan Yi Zhenjun raised his hand and pointed, and the fire dragon roared, the flames surged, and the fire pillar roared and surged straight into the thousands of wind blades.

The wind blades dissipated in an instant, but the strands of Dao traces unique to the Great Dao of Wind condensed into even sharper streaks that shattered the towering pillar of fire.

However, just as these wind-like streaks shattered the pillar of fire, the seemingly extinguished flames triggered the Great Dao of Fire, causing the raging flames to rise again, trapping Lingfeng Zhenjun's wind-related traces like a cage, and erasing them bit by bit.

As the wind and fire raged, the laws of heaven and earth in this place all fell silent, with only the great power of the Great Dao of Fire and the Great Dao of Wind constantly colliding.

As the laws of the two great paths collided, the heavens and earth were immediately dyed in blue and red.

Behind Lingfeng Zhenjun was a thousand streams of sky-blue wind, while behind Yuanyi Zhenjun was a blazing, crimson flame.

Suddenly, amidst the raging flames behind Yuan Yi Zhenjun, thousands of fire snakes raged, accompanied by a deafening dragon roar. From within the boundless flames, a five-clawed fire dragon with angry eyes and red whiskers slowly emerged.

This fire dragon was covered in endless flames and was no less than ten million miles long from head to tail.

As the fire dragon roared to the sky, the million-mile-long crimson sun crown slowly descended, landing on the fire dragon's head and solidifying into a crown.

In the next instant, True Lord Yuanyi landed on the top of the fire dragon's head. His bright red jade crown shone brilliantly, and his crimson robe emitted a radiant glow. This True Lord of the Fifth Tribulation from the Penglai Heavenly Realm of the Eastern Heavenly Daoist School had eyes that shone like the sun, and a Daoist Heavenly Eye between his brows was already open in anger.

As Lingfeng Zhenjun gazed at the furious fire dragon that stretched for tens of millions of miles, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes once again. He could tell that this fire dragon was the manifestation of Yuanyi Zhenjun's Great Dao.

Corona, Fire Dragon, Flowing Flames
This was no ordinary strike from True Lord Yuanyi, but rather a strike of the Great Dao and the Laws.

As Yuan Yi Zhenjun raised his hand and pointed, a fire dragon roared across the sky for tens of millions of miles, and the magnificent sun also shone brightly, like a great sun in the sky, burning the heavens and boiling the seas, turning the surrounding fifty million miles into a fiery domain.

As the fiery domain descended and the great sun descended into the sky, True Monarch Lingfeng ignored the surrounding crimson sea of ​​fire that blotted out the sun, but stared intently at the dazzling red sun.

In an instant, the scorching heat seemed to melt the heavens and earth, and from the sun, a fire dragon with a crown of fire leaped out, carrying Yuan Yi Zhenjun straight towards Ling Feng Zhenjun.

“You said that my fire cannot burn through your protective aura.”

"I am genuinely curious, how many layers of your protective aura are there, and how many layers of your protective spiritual light are there?"

"One hundred floors? One thousand floors? Or ten thousand floors?"

In an instant, accompanied by the voice of Yuan Yi Zhenjun, the boundless waves of fire between heaven and earth surged even more fiercely, and the blazing sun and fire fell from the sky like a rain of fire from heaven, scorching the human world and causing boundless calamity and disaster to shroud this fiery domain of fifty million miles.

As the boundless blazing fire poured down upon the world, the ferocious fire dragon, stretching for thousands of miles, let out a soul-suppressing roar. From its wide-open mouth, flames containing the laws of fire and traces of the Dao surged forth, merging with the calamity and tribulation energy between heaven and earth, transforming into a black and red fire beam no more than a hundred miles thick.

The black and red flames instantly spread across the heavens and earth, and the surging fire laws and Dao traces ignited the world, scorching through the void and encompassing True Monarch Lingfeng.

"Crimson Flame - Calamity!" (End of Chapter)
