Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

The battle on Prison Island ended with the Mountain and River Taoists winning two and losing one.

Aside from Zhen Leizi losing a match against Shao Yang Zhenjun, Kong Zhen consistently won against both Huoxing and Shao Bai Mingjun against Yun Yin.

Actually, it's not that Zhen Leizi is weak.

Instead, Zhen Leizi was immediately matched against Shaoyang Zhenjun, who was arguably the most powerful in terms of supernatural abilities, which was truly unlucky.

Kong Zhen and Shao Bai Mingjun faced Planet and Cloud Hidden, who were not particularly skilled in magical combat.

Although both are of the Dongxuan Dao Fruit type, some are better at combat and fighting, some are better at interpreting celestial secrets, some are better at alchemy and weapon crafting, and some can conceal the battlefield and assist in the battle.
As for Planet and Cloud Hidden, they are clearly not the most skilled in combat. When they encounter Kong Zhen, the powerful Cave Profound Demon Lord, and Shao Bai Mingjun, the Cave Profound Prodigy who has emerged from the Middle Thousand Worlds and is famous throughout the heavens, neither of them is a match for them.

This doesn't mean that the Kongdong Dao Sect and the Huayun Dao Sect are weak; it's just that the truly powerful figures from these two sects haven't yet made their move.

Even so, the Mountain and River Daoist School still holds a slight advantage over the Qiankun Daoist School.

While there are many reasons to explain a two-win-one-loss situation, it ultimately comes down to a lack of skill.

After returning to the Linhai Dao Palace, Wen Yuan looked at everyone. Shao Yang Zhenjun appeared calm and composed. This ally, who had been the first to appear and returned victorious, clearly did not take this defeat to heart, after all, he had not lost.

As for Dingxing and Yunchen, one harbored resentment and the other harbored bitterness, both were capable of being used.

As for Planet and Cloud Village, who lost, neither of them were discouraged, but their momentum wasn't as strong as before, ultimately affected by this battle.

If we were to say who among everyone had the best mindset, it would be Blood Sea Daoist and Five Water Evil Lord. These two were truly just watching the show, and it seemed to have nothing to do with them whether they won or lost.

Faced with these various states of mind among people, Wen Yuan's own feelings were also complex and difficult to describe.

In the previous battle, the sneak attack almost killed Yun Chen. Bu Chen said he would go to fight Huang Mei, but there has been no news since. After not long in recuperation, he was challenged to another battle by the Shanhe Daoist family, and suffered another defeat.

After two consecutive defeats, even with Wen Yuan's strong Dao heart, it was inevitable that he would experience some fluctuations.

Just as Wen Yuan was pondering whether there was a problem with his strategy, a voice promptly interrupted his wild thoughts: "Man's calculations cannot defy fate, and fate cannot defy divine power."

"They outnumber us, and we are not united; each of us has our own agenda. How can we possibly win?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Yuan looked up and, seeing the newcomer, exclaimed with delight, "Senior Brother Han Yuan!"

Shaoyang Zhenjun, Xuehai Daoren, Wushui Xiejun and others all looked over, and saw a tall figure standing at the gate of the Linhai Dao Palace.

The newcomer wore a cold and mysterious dragon crown and a blue flowing cloud robe. He had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and stood tall and proud. The cold and mysterious Dao wheel behind his head emitted thousands of layers of brilliant light, and his aura was also that of a true and genuine Dongxuan Dao Fruit!
The newcomer was none other than the true disciple of the Yuan generation of the Qiankun Dao Sect, the Xuanbian Hanyuan True Lord!
The arrival of this Yuan-generation Dongxuan from the Qiankun Dao Sect gave Wenyuan a boost of confidence.

Han Yuan Zhenjun first looked at everyone, then bowed to Shao Yang Zhenjun and asked, "Fellow Daoist Shao Yang, may I ask where Shao Yin Zhenjun is?"

Shao Yang Zhenjun was quite polite to Han Yuan Zhenjun: "Shao Yin is currently refining a weapon and is unable to attend to matters at the moment. I hope Fellow Daoist Han Yuan will understand."

Han Yuan Zhenjun nodded, then looked at Huoxing and Yunyin and the others. He first thanked them with utmost courtesy, then offered them precious pills, and comforted them before finally looking at Xuehai Daoren and Wushui Xiejun.

"Fellow Daoist Xuehai, Fellow Daoist Wushui, now that you have come to my Qiankun Dao Sect, putting aside all the pretense, you at least want to survive this calamity. Am I right?"

Blood Sea Daoist and Five Water Evil Lord nodded.

Seeing this, True Lord Han Yuan said again: "Since that's the case, the two of you should be of one mind and one heart with my Qiankun Dao Sect. After all, the current Nine Provinces Realm is already clearly divided. Apart from the people of the Mountain and River Daoist School, there is also our alliance of the Mysterious Sects of the Heavens."

"If you two go over there, will you have a good ending?"

Upon hearing this, the faces of Xuehai Daoren and Wushui Xiejun darkened. If they could have a good ending with Shanhe Daojia, would they have come to Qiankun Daozong as cannon fodder?
Han Yuan Zhenjun then smiled and said, "Rest assured, since you have come to my Qiankun Dao Sect, I will ensure your safety."

"Now, I urge you two to join forces with my Qiankun Dao Sect to fight against this powerful enemy. What do you say?"

Blood Sea Daoist and Five Water Evil Lord exchanged a glance, then cupped their hands to Cold Origin True Lord: "Since Cold Origin True Lord is so sincere, we two will not refuse. If there is any trouble, we two can lend a hand."

After stabilizing the situation with a few words, True Lord Hanyuan dropped another bombshell: "Everyone, the Mountain and River Daoists are bullying us by relying on their power and attempting to overwhelm us with their numbers."

“But the Mountain and River Daoist School has reinforcements, and our Zhutian Xuanmen School is not lacking in help either.”

"Fellow Daoists Lian Ri and Cai Yue from the Dao Yi Palace of the Suspended Pot Realm are already on their way to the Nine Provinces Realm. At the same time, a True Monarch from my Qiankun Dao Sect has also gone to the Great Wilderness Realm to request reinforcements."

"The Mountain and River Taoist School has been powerful for many years, and it has quite a few enemies in the myriad worlds."

"Please be patient for a while. Once our reinforcements arrive, I will personally lead the team to fight the Mountain and River Taoists three more times."

Seeing this, everyone's morale was boosted again. At least Dingxing and Yunchen were looking forward to another battle with the Shanhe Daoist family.

After calming everyone down, Han Yuan Zhenjun left with Wen Yuan.

Watching the two Dongxuan True Monarchs of the Qiankun Dao Sect depart, Xuehai Daoist and Wushui Xiejun exchanged a glance, and Xuehai Daoist asked, "How credible is what he said?"

The Five Water Evil Lord laughed and said, "Half and half. At least for now, he needs us."

At this moment, Wen Yuan, who had just left the Lin Hai Dao Palace, couldn't help but ask, "Senior Brother Han Yuan, did the sect really go to the Great Wilderness Realm to ask for reinforcements?"

Han Yuan nodded: "What else can we do but go?"

"The Mountain and River Daoist School alone has the support of the Demon Emperor Palace of the Northern Continent and the Buddhist holy lands of the Southern Continent in the Three Realms. Not to mention the forces in the myriad worlds that are close to the Mountain and River Daoist School, which one of them doesn't want to devour us?" "Now, the enemy of my enemy is my friend."

"Do you know who attacked Suqin?"

Wen Yuan frowned slightly: "Not Dragon Essence?"

Han Yuan shook his head: "Long Yuan is just taking advantage of the chaos. The ones who really made the move are the people from the Left Divine Realm."

Left Divine Realm!
Wen Yuan was taken aback: "Is it the Heavenly Evil Ancestor?"

Han Yuan laughed and said, "To be precise, it was the Azure Wave Dragon King of the Azure Wave Pool in the Great Wilderness Realm who asked the Heavenly Evil Ancestor to take action."

“The son of the Azure Wave Dragon King, the Nine Phoenix Demon Lord, died at the hands of Suqin. He dared not seek revenge on Penglai, but only dared to attack the Holy Land of Yaochi.”

"He thought he had done this discreetly, but who in all the heavens and myriad realms doesn't know?"

"Now, even if he doesn't stand with us, it's impossible for him to."

Wen Yuan pondered, "I've heard that the Azure Wave Dragon King is a Mahayana Dragon Lord with considerable strength; and he also has many relatives and friends who are true dragons and true phoenixes. If we can persuade him, we can surely get a lot of help."

"But surely the sect won't just invite the Azure Wave Dragon King this time?"

Han Yuan shook his head: "Of course not. The Great Wilderness Realm is the ancestral home of the demon race. There are twelve royal clans now. The Kunpeng clan and the Golden Peng clan have a grudge against Lingyuan of the Penglai Dao Sect. The Tushan Fox Clan also has a rift with the Penglai Dao Sect."

"In fact, compared to the Azure Wave Dragon King, the Golden Roc, the Kunpeng, and the Tushan Fox Clan are the sect's main targets for requesting assistance."

"Once these three are persuaded, we will immediately have a strong reinforcement!"

West of Chaos, in the Great Wilderness.

On this day, a streak of light entered this vast world of demons. Its light was like a meteorite falling, its tail flames stretching three thousand miles across the sky, disappearing into the southeast of the Great Wilderness Realm.

In the ancestral home of the demon race in the Great Wilderness Realm, the southeastern region is the territory of the Tushan clan, one of the twelve royal clans.

This stream of light headed straight for the Tushan clan, naturally attracting their attention.

Not to mention the Tushan clan, other royal families also saw this stream of light and could sense that there was a Xuanmen True Monarch in that stream of light.

However, all the royal families ignored this. In this era, the Xuanmen (mystical sects) are flourishing. The five sacred Xuanmen, led by the Dongtian Dao family, are about to fight against the other Xuanmen sacredmen, led by the Qiankun Dao sect.

At this time, the Xuanmen people came to ask for help. As for the internal strife within the Xuanmen, the demon race didn't care who won or lost. In the eyes of the demon race, it would be best if both sides were completely wiped out.

But this is something that can only be thought about.
The stream of light landed before the sacred land of Tushan, and as the celestial radiance dissipated, its true form was revealed.

That mysterious aura clearly belonged to a Xuanmen True Monarch who had attained the Dongxuan Dao Fruit.

He wore a jade crown with a thousand boats on his head, a silver-white brocade robe, a gold and jade belt around his waist, and cloud-patterned jade shoes. His whole body shone brightly, making him exceptionally heroic.

As the True Lord settled down, he strolled to the gate of the Tushan Holy Land and bowed to the two fox clan disciples: "Qiankun Dao Sect, Zhou Yuan has come to visit. Please inform him of your arrival."

The gatekeeper of the Tushan Holy Land was very polite: "So you are Yu Yingzhou Yuan Zhenjun of the Qiankun Dao Sect. May I ask who from Tushan you wish to see?"

Zhou Yuan smiled calmly and took out a letter: "This is a letter from Immortal Lord Ziying Wanshou of my sect. I have come to see Lady Tushan Ji on the orders of the Immortal Lord."

The Tushan guard dared not delay and immediately went in to report. Before long, the Tushan guard hurriedly returned: "True Lord Zhouyuan, the Empress wishes to see you. Please come."

Zhou Yuan followed the guard into Tushan, passing Peach Mountain and Maple Valley, and finally arrived at a cherry blossom forest.

What was originally a mountain valley has been transformed into an elegant courtyard, complete with falling cherry blossoms, a winding stream, a hot spring, and a series of winding corridors.

Upon arriving at this place, Zhou Yuan straightened his clothes and then solemnly entered the courtyard.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, a delicate fragrance wafted towards him, and Zhou Yuan immediately bowed down, not daring to raise his head: "Zhou Yuan greets Your Majesty."

"Ah."

A soft laugh, pure and charming without being seductive, elegant and graceful, like a spring breeze or a flowing spring, made an indescribable figure appear in Zhou Yuan's mind.

"What, you've come all this way to my place, yet you still don't dare to raise your head?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuan, as if guided by some ghost, raised his head and saw, deep within the courtyard, amidst layers of red gauze curtains, a graceful figure reclining on a cloud bed.

Even through the layers of gauze curtains, Zhou Yuan couldn't help but be moved.

Or rather, in all the myriad realms, very few people have seen her and remained unmoved. Whether it is the True Lord of the Cave Profound Realm or the Great Ascension Immortal Lord, even those who are pure Yang beings would probably find it difficult to resist her unparalleled beauty.

Zhou Yuan's heart wavered at the mere sight of that graceful figure, but it was only when a spiritual talisman in his mind emitted a clear light that he calmed down.

Recalling his involuntary actions just now, Zhou Yuan felt a wave of fear and quickly lowered his head again:

"Zhou Yuan of the Qiankun Dao Sect greets Your Majesty." (End of Chapter)
