Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

Yanzhou, Fenggu Daogong.

Fenggu Daogong is famous for its location in Wanfeng Valley of Yanzhou. The surrounding area is covered with red maple leaves, and pavilions and towers are hidden among the forest, making for a breathtakingly beautiful landscape.

It is evident that in this sea of ​​maple forests, leaves fall in the long wind, and the autumn breeze is gentle. In addition to palaces and pavilions, there are also terraces and fragrant pavilions, waterfalls and flowing springs. One can see winding streams and floating wine cups in the corridors and cloud terraces. In addition, there are warm ponds in the maple forests and fish leaping in the springs. Everywhere is bathed in light and colorful clouds, making it a fairyland and holy place.

At this moment, by the sea, the two fairies are walking side by side.

"Does my sister know where this Maple Valley Dao Palace came from?"

The speaker had a soft and gentle voice. She wore a red maple cloud hairpin with gold inlay, a crimson cloud brocade robe with maple leaves, and a sandalwood brocade gold belt around her waist. Underneath, she wore a pale yellow gauze dress. She was bright and beautiful, with eyes like maple leaves dyed in the morning glow. She was truly a fairy with a beautiful face.

The fairy was holding a warm stove made of autumn maple leaves, with rosy ribbons fluttering behind her. Her eyes were fixed on the beautiful scenery of the maple sea before her, and her face was full of smiles without a trace of sorrow.

This person is the current master of Maple Valley Dao Palace, the Taiyi Dongxuan Qiuyu Fengyuan True Lord of the Qiankun Dao Sect.

"This red maple forest is the hub of the mountains and rivers within a radius of 70 million miles. It contains spiritual veins underground and connects the energy veins of heaven and earth. It cannot be said to be unimportant."

"Just as sects establish Dao Palaces to suppress the land and rivers at various spiritual vein nodes and earth vein hubs in Yanzhou, this Maple Valley Dao Palace was naturally set up in the Red Maple Forest."

The speaker had a cold voice and wore a crown with a thousand peaks, without hairpins or ornaments. His hair was tied with seven silver chains that hung down his back. He wore a moon-white silk robe with wide sleeves, with a dark cloud-patterned garment underneath. A thousand layers of ink-wash brocade were tied around his waist. The surrounding air was so cold that it seemed that anyone who got close would be frozen.

This is the contemporary true disciple of the Qiankun Dao Sect of Fenggu Dao Palace in the same town, the Taiyi Dongxuan Guyue Moyuan True Lord.

Unlike the bright and cheerful Feng Yuan Zhenjun, Mo Yuan Zhenjun was unassuming and preferred quiet to noise. She was as aloof as a secluded orchid. Although she was also a rare beauty, she was not as popular as Feng Yuan Zhenjun. Therefore, she only became a deputy, which suited her just fine.

Mo Yuan Zhenjun's statement that Maple Valley Dao Palace sits atop the spiritual veins perfectly captures the essence of the matter.

Maple Valley Palace suppresses seventy million miles of mountains and rivers. The most important hub of these seventy million miles of mountains and rivers is the Red Maple Valley, which spans hundreds of thousands of miles. Suppressing the Red Maple Valley means suppressing the earth's veins and energy veins of these seventy million miles of mountains and rivers.

Yanzhou is so vast, its land far surpassing the vastness of a single region.

It nurtures countless living beings and has all kinds of terrain and landforms, including large lakes and rivers, high mountains and hills, forests and deserts, and rift valleys.

In such a vast Yanzhou, at the hubs of the earth's veins and energy veins, enormous spiritual veins are often born. If the Qiankun Dao Sect wants to suppress Yanzhou and use its fortune for its own purposes, it must build Dao Palaces on these spiritual vein hubs.

These Dao Palaces can also control the secret realms and resources born in the spiritual veins, so that the entire Yan Province is under the control of the Qiankun Dao Sect, and the manpower and material resources of the whole province are supplied to the Qiankun Dao Sect.

Feng Yuan Zhenjun glanced at his junior sister, who had entered the sect at the same time, and sighed softly. A trace of sorrow appeared on her bright and beautiful face: "Sister, why do you always have to be so cold?"

"When your senior brother was still alive, you were alright, but after he passed away, you became colder and colder, just like the eternal ice of the Ten Thousand Cold Valley in the sect."

The eldest disciple of the Yuan generation in the Qiankun Dao Sect is naturally the Taiyi Dongxuan Tianyun Qiyuan True Lord.

Qi Yuan Zhenjun is a genius of extraordinary talent. The entire Qiankun Dao Sect regards him as the next Pure Yang of the sect, and the Yuan generation of true disciples of the same generation admire and respect him even more.

Qi Yuan Zhenjun takes care of his junior brothers and sisters in the sect, takes the initiative to take responsibility when something happens, and takes good care of his junior brothers and sisters when they go out to train. He even brings back some rare items as gifts for his junior brothers and sisters every time he returns from training.

In the hearts of all the Yuan generation members of the Qiankun Dao Sect, apart from True Lord Qiyuan, no one else could be their senior brother.

Let alone True Lord Fengyuan, even True Lord Moyuan, who is as aloof as ice, admires True Lord Qiyuan, but he just doesn't dare to say it.

But no one expected that the beloved senior brother of the Qiankun Dao Sect, the renowned Qiyuan Zhenjun among the young people of the myriad realms, would perish in Jurong Realm, at the hands of Lingyuan Daoist of the Penglai Dao Sect in the Eastern Heaven of the Three Realms.

Feng Yuan could see clearly that her good sister had become even more indifferent since her senior brother's death.

Aside from her sister, with whom she had a close relationship since entering the sect, Mo Yuan's relationship with the other members of the Yuan generation had become increasingly distant. This was why Feng Yuan specifically asked the sect to bring Mo Yuan along when she learned that she was to come and guard Fenggu Dao Palace.

Knowing the reason, the sect allowed Mo Yuan to accompany Feng Yuan to guard the Maple Valley Dao Palace.

Unfortunately, even at the Maple Valley Dao Palace, Mo Yuan was still just as cold, so cold it sent chills down one's spine.

Mo Yuan listened to Feng Yuan's sigh and couldn't help but feel moved. Everyone said that major sects were full of intrigue and backstabbing, but in a holy land like the Qiankun Dao Sect, there was not so much intrigue and backstabbing among peers. Peers were truly as close as family.

Feng Yuan treated her like a sister, and her heart wasn't truly unmelting ice; how could she not feel warmth?

Mo Yuan himself knew his own situation well. His state of mind was one thing, and his cultivation technique was another. The two combined made him the Mo Yuan True Monarch he is today.

After some thought, Mo Yuan said softly, "Good sister, how could I not understand your feelings?"

"It's not that I don't want to come out, it's just that my cultivation technique is incomplete and hasn't been fully repaired. Once I've completed the technique, it might be much better to take that first step."

Upon hearing this, Feng Yuan finally smiled and said, "That's right."

"Come on, come on. You've been stationed at Maple Valley Palace for over a hundred years, but little sister, you haven't been to the Maple Forest Hot Pool yet, have you?"

"The sunset glow evokes the autumn atmosphere, and the red maples reflect the warm spring. I have specially placed a hundred calming jade pieces and three-star stones in that hot spring. You and I, sisters, can go soak in the hot spring to soothe our minds."

Mo Yuan wanted to refuse, but Feng Yuan insisted on pulling him along, so he had no choice but to go to the Maple Forest Hot Pool.

Meanwhile, several unfamiliar figures appeared in Yanzhou.

These figures, three men and one woman, possessed almost no aura; they were none other than Lin Fan, Ling Yu, Shao Bai Mingjun, and Sihai Zhenjun.

"Gentlemen, although Maple Valley Dao Palace is located deep in the interior of Yanzhou, its defenses are the weakest."

"The Fenggu Dao Palace is guarded by the Yunze Dao Palace and the Qianlin Dao Palace on the left and right respectively. Both of these palaces are filled with true disciples of the Qiankun Dao Sect who are in the middle and late stages of the Refinement of Emptiness. It will be difficult to deal with them in a short time."

"But the two in Maple Valley Palace are the newly promoted true disciples of Qiankun Dao Sect, and they are the easiest to deal with."

"We'll go straight there and kill them. Remember, don't destroy the Dao Palace or damage the spiritual veins. Capture the people and leave. Don't be greedy."

While concealing his breath and soaring through the air, Lin Fan transmitted his voice to the three people around him.

Lingyu nodded: "Is there anything else we need to pay attention to? Lingzhao, please tell us so we can make better preparations." Lin Fan smiled: "There's not much. It's just that 180 million li behind Maple Valley Palace is Nanping Pass, one of the five passes of Yanzhou. Everyone knows what lies beyond Nanping Pass."

"The distance between Yunze Dao Palace and Qianlin Dao Palace and Fenggu Dao Palace is only a few hundred million miles in a straight line. Therefore, we have at most a quarter of an hour. We must retreat within a quarter of an hour, regardless of whether we succeed or not."

Upon hearing this, Lingyu, Shaobai Mingjun, and Sihai Zhenjun all nodded in agreement.

They all knew what lay beyond Nanping Pass: the Wanshou Dao Palace, which resided in the very center of Yanzhou and commanded all the thousands of Dao Palaces in Yanzhou, overseeing all the manpower and resources of Yanzhou.

The person sitting in that palace was not a newly promoted Fifth Tribulation True Monarch like Qianxuan Lingfeng True Monarch, but Ziying Wanshou Immortal Monarch of Qiankun Dao Sect!
It can be said that the location of Maple Valley Taoist Palace is very important, and precisely because of this, Maple Valley Taoist Palace is exceptionally safe.

No one expected that four audacious individuals in Yanzhou would take advantage of the current situation where the Nine Provinces are filled with calamity energy and the secrets of heaven are unclear, and rush all the way into the mountains and rivers under the jurisdiction of Fenggu Dao Palace.

After more than a month, Lin Fan and his companions endured wind and rain, concealing their presence along the way, and finally entered the seventy million miles of mountains and rivers of Maple Valley Dao Palace, where they saw the sea of ​​red maple forests that stretched for hundreds of thousands of miles.

The four of them affixed several more concealment talismans to themselves, and then headed straight for the Red Maple Forest.

“The place where Feng Yuan and Mo Yuan are is the Red Maple Valley, the core of this Red Maple Forest. There should be various magic arrays set up in that Red Maple Valley. Senior Sister, this matter needs to be entrusted to you.”

"Don't worry, I have the Thunder Thousand Strikes specially developed by the sect to break magic arrays. They are specifically designed to deal with magic arrays. This Maple Valley Dao Palace's magic array will be reduced to nothing after three Thunder Thousand Strikes."

As Lin Fan and Ling Yu talked, the four of them arrived deep in the Red Maple Forest and saw the Thousand Maple Valley hidden in the shimmering light before them.

Lin Fan immediately said, "Fellow Daoist Shaobai, Fellow Daoists Sihai, get ready, Senior Sister, make your move!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yu no longer concealed her aura and threw out three Thousand-Strike Spears engraved with lightning-marked restrictions.

In an instant, the three Thunder Strike Spears flew away in a triangular formation, crashing into the shimmering light and producing a deafening roar.

Amidst thunder and lightning, the restrictive array of Maple Valley was shattered on the spot. The shattered array unleashed a series of powerful waves that uprooted the red maples inside and outside Maple Valley. Large swaths of red maples, carrying soil, soared into the sky and were subsequently swallowed by the waves.

Meanwhile, Shao Bai Mingjun and Si Hai Zhenjun took advantage of the earth-shattering momentum to conceal their auras and hide between the real and the illusory.

At this moment, in Maple Valley, Feng Yuan was lazily savoring spiritual fruits and immortal wine in the warm pool, while Mo Yuan was quietly looking at the ancient scrolls. Suddenly hearing this terrifying noise, Mo Yuan immediately realized that something was wrong, but by then it was too late.

Just as the two were preparing, two bright, mysterious auras arrived in front of them.

The two looked over and saw a man and a woman approaching. The man wore a black jade crown, a dark blue robe, and a bright jade belt. He had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and was handsome and extraordinary. The woman wore a blue-purple crown, a cloud brocade robe, and a cloud belt that fluttered and flashed with lightning. Although she was incomparably beautiful, she had her own heroic spirit, and her aura even overshadowed the male cultivator next to her.

"Who are you, and what business do you have trespassing on my Maple Valley Dao Palace?"

At this moment, Feng Yuan didn't care about the exposed spring scenery. He wrapped himself in a flowing gauze curtain and stood up from the warm pool, staring straight at Lin Fan and Ling Yu, whose cultivation level was obviously higher than his own.

Lingyu ignored the blushing Fengyuan and the wary Moyuan beside her; she simply stood with her hands behind her back, gazing around.
"Golden hues blend with autumn colors, and the warmth of maple leaves melts into frost."

"This forest of red maples truly lives up to its reputation."

Such a unique landscape, coupled with the unparalleled layout of this place within its seventy million miles of mountains and rivers, even Lingyu couldn't help but fall in love with it.

Seeing this, Lin Fan smiled and said, "If you like it, then after my Eastern Heaven Daoist family has pacified the Nine Provinces, I will go with you to ask our ancestor to let you guard this seventy million miles of mountains and rivers. How about that?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Yuan and Mo Yuan's expressions changed simultaneously: The Eastern Heavenly Daoist School!
When did the Eastern Heavenly Daoist Clan invade Yanzhou? How come they were completely unaware?!
The next instant, the two realized the problem: if the Eastern Heavenly Daoist Clan had truly swept through Yan Province, why would there be such a commotion?!

These two sneaked in!

Realizing this, Feng Yuan and Mo Yuan immediately activated their magic power and raised their hands to unleash their magic weapons with a thunderous strike!
In an instant, a thousand maple leaves-covered brazier swept across the heavens and earth, while a withered leaf bamboo flute stirred up ink-like flow and a cold wind that froze across ten thousand miles.

As Feng Yuan and Mo Yuan made their move, a hint of admiration flashed in Ling Yu's eyes: Although the two from Qiankun Dao Sect were both newly promoted to the Dongxuan Refining Void Realm, they lacked experience in combat at the Refining Void Realm, and were momentarily intimidated by her and Ling Zhao at the start.

However, the two reacted quickly, and immediately took action after realizing the problem, going all out in their moves, which was clearly an attempt to signal for help.

But how could Lingyu possibly give them a chance?
With a raised palm, countless bolts of lightning erupted, and Ling Yu's eyes flashed with lightning as her third eye opened wide: "Under normal circumstances, I would very much like to spar with you, but for now, you'd better surrender obediently!"

Before the words were finished, endless thunder roared down, and the dazzling lightning was like a waterfall that engulfed Feng Yuan and Mo Yuan below.

At the same time, Lin Fan slashed with his sword, and a blazing sun rose with a roar in Maple Valley, unleashing a torrent of heat.

The combined power of the divine lightning and the blazing sun made it quite difficult for Feng Yuan and Mo Yuan to withstand the combined force of Lin Fan and Ling Yu's attacks.

At this moment, the two were barely managing to withstand Lin Fan and Ling Yu's thunderous sun flames with their own magical treasures, and were already on the verge of defeat. Unexpectedly, a handsome Taoist in a jade crown and brocade robe suddenly appeared on the side and used two Immortal Binding Ropes. It was none other than Shao Bai Mingjun who had made his move.

Two golden and jade-colored ropes shot out like dragons, instantly wrapping around Feng Yuan and Mo Yuan. Although these two Immortal Binding Ropes could not free the two, they caused their magical power to stagnate for a moment.

In that instant, a surge of lightning erupted from Lingyu's third eye between her brows. A bolt of azure-purple divine lightning, like a true dragon emerging from the sea, fell from the sky, catching Feng Yuan and Mo Yuan off guard. Taking advantage of this moment, Lin Fan struck again. The blazing sun transformed into a blade, and in an instant, Feng Yuan and Mo Yuan's faces turned pale. Blood splattered, and the two were immediately sent flying backward, their magical treasures dimming slightly.

Just as Feng Yuan and Mo Yuan realized they were no match and were about to flee, the Immortal Binding Rope on their bodies suddenly tightened. Then, several Spirit Locking Rings swept over and instantly locked the acupoints of their limbs and bones, cutting off their magical power. The Immortal Binding Rope took the opportunity to bind the two female immortals tightly, making them unable to move.

Seeing this, Lin Fan shook his head and sighed, "Senior Sister Lingyu, Underworld Lord, it's a bit like bullying the weak when the three of us are working together to deal with these two newly promoted Void Refinement cultivators."

Shao Bai Mingjun!

Penglai Lingyu!

Feng Yuan and Mo Yuan stared at the three people who appeared in front of them, their teeth clenched, their faces full of resentment!

What merit or ability do these two newly promoted Void Refinement cultivators possess to attract two true disciples of the Spirit generation from the Penglai Dao Sect, as well as the renowned Shao Bai Mingjun, who is famous throughout the myriad realms!
Just as the two were pondering how to escape, another figure appeared before them, saying to Lin Fan and the other two, "Yunze Dao Palace and Qianlin Dao Palace have made a move. We should go."

Another True Monarch of the late stage of Refining Emptiness!

Feng Yuan and Mo Yuan exchanged a glance, their hearts sinking to the bottom, realizing that escape was likely impossible this time. (End of Chapter)
