Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

"Ah!"

Inside the Seven Wonders Cave of Jiutou Mountain, the female immortal looked at the letter in her hand, let out a soft laugh, her expression carrying a hint of disdain. The thunderbolt hairpin on her cloud-like hair jingled, stirring up streaks of lightning.

As everyone turned their gaze, they saw Lingyu casually toss the letter onto the table: "Wen Yuanlai has issued a challenge, inviting us to fight again on Prison Island in seven days."

Lin Fan took it with interest and glanced at it, then couldn't help but laugh and said, "You've got quite the nerve. After losing two battles in a row, you put up a truce, but now that reinforcements have just arrived, you can't wait to challenge them. This is what the Yuan generation of the Qiankun Dao Sect is all about."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xuanjun and the others all chuckled knowingly. Clearly, these true disciples of the Qinghua Dao Sect did not take Wen Yuan and the others, who had lost two battles in a row, seriously.

The Four Seas True Lord and the Young White Underworld Lord smiled as they looked at these true disciples of the Qinghua Dao Sect.

Nowadays, everyone on Jiutou Mountain holds the Qiankun Dao Sect in contempt.

This disdain stemmed not only from the fact that Yang Yan Yuan Yi Zhenjun, a Five Tribulations True Lord from Penglai, could suppress Qian Xuan Ling Feng Zhenjun of Qiankun Dao Sect every time, but also from the fact that Wen Yuan and the others had not won a single battle in a row.

The Qiankun Dao Sect, having suffered repeated defeats, is not worth taking seriously at all.

It makes sense. Despite having so many profound insights, Wen Yuan and the others suffered repeated defeats against Ling Yu and Lin Fan.

If Penglai had more people in the Nine Provinces, it wouldn't have been so bad. But Penglai only had two true disciples in the Nine Provinces, at most the Four Seas True Lord and the Lesser White Underworld Lord. However, Wen Yuan and his group were from three holy lands: Qiankun Dao Sect, Huayun Dao Sect, and Kongdong Dao Sect. Even with so many people fighting against so few, they still ended up fleeing in a sorry state.

Even after they invited the two true disciples of the Yin-Yang School of the Xuanhuang Realm, Shao Yang and Shao Yin, they were still defeated.

The two princes of the Demon Emperor's Palace, the two Buddhist disciples of the Golden Zen Temple, and the three true disciples of the Crimson Cloud Dao Sect did not even exert their full strength; just two of them were enough to overwhelm the Nine Provinces Realm.

With so many true disciples in the Eastern Heaven Daoist School, how could they possibly fear the so-called alliance of the Qiankun Daoist Sect?

Luo Wusheng immediately said, "Wen Yuan and the others' sneak attack on Jiutou Mountain was the first battle, and the battle of magic on Qiuluo Island in Zhuyan Sea was the second battle."

"They failed to win the first two battles, and now they have to fight us a third. In my opinion, if they lose this battle as well, there's no point in fighting anymore; they might as well just surrender."

Upon hearing this, a joyful atmosphere filled the entire Seven Wonders Cave.

Seeing how optimistic the fellow Daoists of Qinghua Dao Sect were, Lin Fan wanted to say something.

However, when Lin Fan saw that Xuan Yi, the current senior disciple of Qinghua Dao Sect, only frowned slightly but did not speak, he did not know what to say and silently shut his mouth.

Immediately, Luo Wusheng cupped his hands to Xuan Yi: "Senior Brother, let us have the duel in seven days."

Xuan Yi looked at the others: "Xuanji, Xuanfang, Xuanhe, what are your thoughts?"

Lu Xuanjun, Li Sangyuan, and the others nodded and eagerly volunteered to fight.

Seeing this, Xuan Yi nodded slightly, acknowledging their request to fight. He then stood up and looked at everyone: "Fellow Daoists, my Qinghua Dao Sect is new here and has not yet made any contributions. In the duel seven days from now, my Qinghua Dao Sect will take the stage. Is that alright?"

The Four Seas True Lord and the Young White Underworld Lord had no objection to this, and even the Crimson Cloud Dao Sect's Xu Yuanzi, Zhen Leizi, and Yan Huazi were happy to see it happen.

Lingyu glanced at Lin Fan, and seeing Lin Fan nod, Lingyu immediately expressed her approval.

The matter was settled immediately, and the disciples of Qinghua Dao Sect were eager to prepare, while Xuan Yi stayed behind under some pretext.

Watching his junior brothers and sisters leave, Xuan Yi looked at Ling Yu and Lin Fan with a somewhat apologetic expression: "I apologize in advance to all fellow Daoists. I'm afraid that Qinghua will bring shame to the Eastern Heaven Daoist School in this battle."

Upon hearing this, whether it was the Four Seas True Lord, the Young White Underworld Lord, or Xu Yuanzi, Kong Zhen, and the others, they all showed a hint of surprise.

Lin Fan was taken aback for a moment, then comforted him, "Brother Xuanyi, what makes you say that? With your abilities, even facing the Dao Yi Palace's Refining the Sun and Gathering the Moon, or the Yin-Yang Orthodox School's Lesser Yin and Lesser Yang, would be no problem for you."

Xuan Yi shook his head: "If I make a move, I may not win, but at least I won't lose. I have that much confidence."

"However, seeing how arrogant and complacent Xuanjing and Xuanji are, and how they underestimate the enemy even before making contact, I knew that my Qinghua Dao Sect would be defeated in this battle."

Lingyu frowned slightly: "Since you knew they were going to lose, why did you agree to let them fight? The Qiankun Dao Sect is holding their breath for this battle, and people will die in it."

Xuan Yi smiled helplessly and said, "If I insist on suppressing them, I can certainly do so with my prestige, but what's the use?"

“My fellow disciples, relying on the background of the Eastern Heaven Daoist School, have become arrogant and conceited. In the past, they either bullied small sects or sparred with fellow Daoists from Penglai and Tianhe. They really lacked experience of drawing blood.”

"The reason we came to the Nine Provinces Realm this time is to do our part for the Eastern Heaven Daoist School. Since it is a struggle for the lineage and a struggle for destiny, there will inevitably be sacrifices. If we don't let them personally experience how fierce the internal struggles of the Xuanmen Daoist School are, even more of them will die in the future."

After saying this, Xuan Yi actually stood up and bowed to everyone: "In this battle, I will do my best, but if there is anything I cannot do, I ask you all to lend a hand and help me."

Seeing Xuan Yi's attitude, everyone couldn't sit still any longer. Both Kong Zhen and the Four Seas True Lord repeatedly expressed their willingness to help.

Xu Yuanzi looked at Xuan Yi with utter astonishment: "Truly worthy of being the leading figure of this generation of Qinghua Dao Sect, his vision and mind are extraordinary, and his perspective is truly grand."

"He's ruthless and shameless; Qinghua Xuanyi truly lives up to his reputation."

Yan Huazi leaned close to Xu Yuanzi and whispered, "Senior Brother Xu Yuan, if Zhen Leizi and I were imprisoned, would you have the same magnanimity to ask someone to rescue us?"

Xu Yuanzi glanced at Yan Huazi and sneered, "If Zhen Leizi is besieged, he would rather self-destruct his Dao Fruit True Spirit than be captured. In his eyes, the sect's reputation is more important than anything else."

"As for you, if you are captured, I won't need to lower myself to beg for help, because you can definitely play along with them and get out unharmed in the end."

Upon hearing this, Yan Huazi chuckled and said nothing more: He is not a fighter; his specialty is spiritual plants. If something happens to him, what will happen to all those spiritual herbs, immortal medicines, and rare trees in the garden?
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, the sky over Zhu Yanhai was clear and the air was fresh. On both sides of the small Qiuluo Island, which was only a few thousand miles in circumference, there were already many immortals of the Dongxuan realm standing there.

On the north side of Prison Island, the three true disciples of the Qiankun Dao Sect, Wen Yuan, Han Yuan, and Xiang Yuan, stand in the middle. To their left are the six True Lords of Dao Yi Palace: Lian Ri, Cai Yue, Zhai Xing, Yi Su, Yi Shan, and Tian Hai. To their right are the four True Lords of the Yin Yang Orthodox Sect: Shao Yang, Shao Yin, Zhen Mu, Zhen Yun, Zhen Feng, and Zhen Lei.

On the south side of Prison Island, Xuan Yi stood in the center, with Lin Fan and Ling Yuan from Penglai, Kong Zhen and Jin Qiong from the Demon Emperor's Palace, and Guang Wen and Guang Hui from the Golden Zen Temple on his left; and Xuan Ji, Xuan Jing, Xuan Fang, Xuan He, the Four Seas True Lord, and Shao Bai Ming Jun on his right.

The number of people from both sides was roughly the same, and those who had fought before either didn't come this time or tacitly agreed not to participate. A total of twenty-eight Dongxuan True Monarchs from both sides stood around the Cloud Palace on Prison Luo Island, and the bright daylight on both sides shone brightly.

When stars appear in broad daylight, it signifies the descent of immortals from the three higher realms to the mortal world.

Looking out, the twenty-eight great stars released countless mysteries. Beneath the Destiny Stars, the heads of the True Lords of the Cave Profound Realm were adorned with canopies of fortune, and the wheels of merit and Dao behind their heads rose and fell. Powerful pressure swept across the heavens and earth, and the energy of both sides collided endlessly like raging waves. Under that terrifying pressure of the Cave Profound Realm, the sky had already changed color.

Almost instantly, the pressure and energy of both sides turned into a torrent that intertwined in the sky. The result of the collision of the two mighty torrents was the splitting of the sea and the creation of the sky. The violent gales and thunder and fire surged like rivers and seas, and then split the sky in two.

boom!
In an instant, accompanied by thunder and lightning, the sky, which was clear just a moment ago, turned gloomy. A mighty gale filled the sky and sea, and thunder and fire roared in the two torrents above the gloomy sky. All sorts of strange phenomena had already appeared.

It can be seen that countless illusory figures, each ten thousand feet tall, are condensed in the fierce winds, thunder, and fire. Some hold magic swords, some drag pagodas, some have three eyes and long beards, and some have three heads and six arms. Although the divine intentions of the illusory figures are different, what they have in common is that soaring energy that is connected with the celestial stars.

At this moment, the Qinghuang Destiny Star was already comparable to the sun and moon. Twenty-eight great stars were projected onto the human world through the fierce winds, thunder, fire, and the vast sky, condensing into a stream of brilliant starlight on both sides of the Prison Island in the Zhu Yan Sea.

Han Yuan looked at Xuan Yi, exchanged a glance with Lian Ri Zhenjun and Shao Yang Zhenjun on either side, then stepped forward and said loudly, "Xuan Yi, now that you're here, why don't you come over and have a chat?"

Xuan Yi gladly stepped forward. The handsome Taoist stood in the void, hands behind his back, looking at Han Yuan: "Han Yuan, what do you have to say?"

Han Yuan then said, "Since you are here in the center, it seems that your Qinghua Dao Sect will be the leader of your Mountain and River Realm this time."

"Then I will speak with you directly. This contest will still be best two out of three. Each of us will send one True Lord to fight. Do you have any objections?"

Xuan Yi shook his head: "I can tell you directly that this time, my Eastern Heaven Daoist family will send out my Qinghua Daoist Sect. You can choose your people now."

Han Yuan turned to look behind him and saw Dao Yi Palace's Refining Sun True Monarch leisurely stepping forward: "The one who will face off against your Qinghua Dao Sect is my Dao Yi Palace."

Having said that, True Monarch Lianri flashed and landed directly on Prison Island.

Without wasting words, Xuan Yi landed on the island. As the two Dongxuan True Monarchs descended, the atmosphere became increasingly solemn and heavy.

Whether it's Xuan Yi or Lian Ri, they are both pillars of their respective Xuanmen holy lands, and are the senior disciples.

It is truly rare for such a person to want to settle a score so soon after arriving.

Logically speaking, both Xuan Yi and Lian Ri should have played a stabilizing role and should not have acted first under any circumstances.

But neither Xuan Yi nor Lian Ri seemed to care about this.

The True Lord of Refining Sun smiled and remained calm: "Speaking of which, among the myriad mysteries of the heavens, there are nine great worlds and thirteen holy lands. I have traveled to many great worlds and seen many true disciples of the mysteries and Taoist schools, as well as the geniuses of the side sect holy lands. I have even fought against those heavenly demons of the demon race."

"As for you, I have never actually fought against anyone from your Mountain and River Realm."

"It is widely known throughout the heavens that you are disciples of the Heavenly Venerable, possessing great supernatural powers. I am curious to know just how capable you are."

As he spoke, True Lord Lian Ri flicked his fingers and conjured a spell: "How about we decide the winner in seven moves?"

Xuan Yi remained standing with his hands behind his back, responding calmly: "Whatever you say."

Seeing this, True Lord Lianri said no more. The fingers that were originally raised suddenly changed into a palm as the Xuanji Flow transformed the finger technique. A glint of light flashed in True Lord Lianri's eyes: "Do you know why I am named Lianri?"

"The Righteous Path of Tao: The Sun and Moon in the Palm of Your Hand!"

In an instant, as True Lord Lian Ri extended his palm, the heavens and earth began to shift and change.

Wanqianli Prison Island seemed to have undergone a complete upheaval. When Xuan Yi stood still, the great sun above his head was getting closer and closer to him, as if the blazing sun in the sky was about to fall into the world and burn the heavens and the earth.

However, Xuan Yi immediately saw through everything: this was not the real world, but the palm of Lian Ri!
Looking up at the blazing sun that emitted endless light and heat, enough to incinerate the world, Xuan Yi's expression was utterly calm: "It seems mysterious, but in the end, it's nothing more than a mirage."

"However, this method of using the palm to represent heaven and earth and to perform the act of refining the sun is not bad."

After saying that, Xuan Yi slowly raised his hand, his right index and middle fingers joined together, and used his fingers as a sword to stab at the sky: "You can refine the sun and moon with your palm, and I can also open the heavens and the earth with my fingers."

"Xuanfa·fenhong!"

In an instant, a streak of rainbow light burst forth and shot straight into the sky. As Xuan Yi slashed with his sword finger, the rainbow light, like a sword blade, split the great sun and cleaved open this piece of heaven and earth.

Looking at the cracked space before him, Xuan Yi stepped into it. He didn't stay in the chaotic void for more than a moment before returning to the real world and back to Prison Island.

"These tricks won't be enough to capture me."

"However, I do possess a certain supernatural ability that I would like to invite Fellow Daoist Lian Ri to appraise!"

As Xuan Yi spoke, a jade ruler appeared in his hand.

As Xuan Yi casually swept his hand across the jade ruler, the stars on the white jade ruler shone brightly, and a power powerful enough to reverse the heavens and earth was born on the jade ruler. This power seemed to be able to connect the energy veins and earth veins between heaven and earth, and attract the stars and sea of ​​stars in the sky.

Xuan Yi held the jade ruler and gently drew a line in front of him. Without a sound, heaven and earth and the void were torn apart. An invisible mystery, like a sharp edge, slashed across and directly separated the sea and sky in front of him.

"This technique is called Dividing Heaven."

Lian Ri gazed at that invisible mystery, a smile playing on his lips: "My first move was merely a test; why should True Monarch Xuan Yi take it to heart?"

"However, if True Lord Xuanyi thinks that such methods can frighten me, he is sorely mistaken!"

Although he said this, Lian Ri's eyes were filled with deep solemnity: Xuan Yi's one foot not only divides the heaven and earth and the void in front of him, but also divides a person's fortune and soul!
If struck by this invisible, mysterious force, Lian Ri has no doubt that this attack could split his luck and destiny in two, and even his soul and Dao fruit could be severed by this attack.

When the Qi Yun Hua Gai of a Dong Xuan Zhen Jun is broken, it means that his Three Flowers Gathering at the Top has been shattered and his realm is about to fall; and when his soul and Dao Fruit are severed, it means that this Zhen Jun is not far from his demise.

He truly deserves to be called the leading figure of this generation in the Qinghua Dao Sect; his single move was enough to annihilate a cultivator at the Cave Profound Refinement stage! (End of Chapter)
