Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

Between reality and illusion lies the realm of the Five Kalpas.

Five-colored light intertwined like a net, covering all directions and dyeing the entire virtual and real land in shades of blue, red, white, black, and yellow. Where the five-colored light shimmered, boundless star demons devoured the heavens and earth, while blazing firelight burned the eight directions. For a moment, the entire virtual and real land trembled under the divine power of the Starfall Myriad Valleys Diagram.

Amidst the raging stardust and flames, True Monarch Jinghua only felt dizzy for a moment before regaining his senses. His protective aura burst forth with profound light, blocking the relentless onslaught of stardust and flames that resembled a flood. He stood amidst the vast torrent of stardust, his eyes slightly narrowed, radiating divine light.

"Stardust swallows the heavens and earth, and raging fire burns the eight wastelands. It truly disturbs people's minds and makes them dizzy and disoriented."

"However, with these methods, you still can't defeat me!"

As Jinghua Zhenjun spoke, a mist of gold, silver, and lead swirled above his head.

Refining essence into qi produces lead flowers, refining qi into spirit produces silver flowers, refining spirit into emptiness produces golden flowers. The three flowers bloom, gather at the top of the head, and transform into a lotus platform of gold, silver, and lead.

The blooming of the three flowers represents the three elements of Heaven, Earth, and Man, giving rise to a vast and boundless canopy of three-colored fortune.

Three flowers gather together!

Immediately afterwards, five colors—blue, red, white, black, and yellow—swirled around Jinghua Zhenjun's chest.

The heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, which are connected to the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth), are called the transformations of the five elements, and manifest the virtues of the five colors.

In an instant, the fire of the heart, the wood of the liver, the earth of the spleen, the metal of the lungs, and the water of the kidneys surge together, and the five elements rotate, which is the creation of the five elements, and life goes on endlessly.

The Five Elements Return to Their Origin!

In an instant, the three flowers gathered above Jinghua Zhenjun's head, and the five elements condensed in his chest. He possessed the power of the three powers of Heaven, Earth, and Man above, and the movement of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth below. A clear and bright moon slowly rose into the sky, shining between reality and illusion, illuminating the present world of Yanzhou.

The clear moon hung high in the sky, and all living beings in Yanzhou could see that bright moon, that clear moonlight, and that majestic Dharma image slowly gazing under the moonlight.

Hundred feet, thousand feet, ten thousand miles!
In the blink of an eye, the majestic Dharma image, spanning millions of miles, has already stood between reality and illusion, reflecting the heavens of the present world.

But what was seen was that Dharma form:
Wearing a yin-yang jade crown on his head, and draped in a robe depicting the mountains and rivers of the four seas;
He wore an octagonal gilded belt around his waist and held a ruler in his hand to measure the heavens and the earth.

Above his head, a lotus platform of gold, silver, and lead transformed; five-colored mist and mysterious light emanated from his chest; ethereal feather ribbons wrapped around his arms; a clear Dao wheel reflected behind his head; and yin and yang energies and the breath of mountains and seas surrounded him. Under the bright moonlight, he was like a god who created the world, rising directly from the boundless stardust and raging fire, crushing the supernatural power of the Meteorite Myriad Valleys Diagram!
The stardust and raging fire that originally covered the heavens and the earth and surged across the eight wastelands were now, under this Dharma image that spanned millions of miles and reached the heavens and the earth, the torrent of divine power that was capable of destroying souls and scattering spirits, burning bodies and melting bones was now just a gentle breeze in front of the Dharma image, and could not even cause the slightest ripple.

Jinghua Zhenjun's eyes shone with golden light. He raised his hand and summoned a jade ruler with celestial stars engraved on the front and mountains and rivers carved on the back. A cyan celestial eye was squeezed out from between his eyebrows. As the celestial eye shone, the jade ruler burst forth with five-colored brilliance and a hazy, glazed color.

"Zhaozhen, your methods are nothing more than tickling me. Let me retaliate with a move!"

Before he finished speaking, the Measuring Ruler in Jinghua Zhenjun's hand crashed down with a bang. In an instant, the power of heaven and earth was connected, the Five Elements Dao roared, and a layer of mottled color appeared on the Measuring Ruler in Jinghua Zhenjun's hand.

The Thirty-Six Heavenly Techniques: Shaking Mountains and Earth!

As both are orthodox sects of the Xuanmen, the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Techniques are supernatural abilities that all immortals in the upper three realms must learn. It can be said that every Xuanmen True Lord knows at least one or two of them.

This is because the Thirty-Six Methods of the Heavenly Gang are supernatural powers that connect with the Great Dao. It can be said that the Thirty-Six Methods of the Heavenly Gang are manifestations of the thirty-six Great Daos.

For someone like True Lord Jinghua, who comes from the Pure Yang Holy Land and is a True Lord of the Integration Realm with five tribulations of cultivation, mastering ten or so of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Techniques is nothing unusual.

At this moment, the Earth-Shaking Mountain Strike activated by True Monarch Jinghua was based on the Great Dao of Power, connecting the Dao of Mountains and the Dao of Earth, and combining the power of the three Daos to unleash a majestic force and crush the sharpest edge!
In an instant, the Great Dao roared, and between the real and the unreal, vast mountains and boundless lands appeared. The energy of the mountains and the breath of the earth surged and spread, and a majestic deity, spanning millions of miles, wielded a jade ruler that reached the heavens and smashed it down with unparalleled power.

With a whoosh, the jade ruler shattered mountains and destroyed the earth. The majestic power and overwhelming force of the Great Dao of Power were fully displayed in this earth-shaking move.

With just this one move, the Star Sand and Blazing Fire unleashed by True Lord Zhaozhen were extinguished, and all kinds of supernatural powers and spells were destroyed!
Meanwhile, in the present-day Yanzhou, whether it was the cultivators of the Qiankun Dao Sect such as True Monarch Yufeng or the people of the Tianhe Dao Sect such as True Monarch Cangyuan, they all saw the majestic celestial god reflecting the present-day sky, holding a jade ruler that could crush mountains and split the heavens and earth.

Both being part of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Dipper Techniques, the power of Jinghua Zhenjun, a Fifth Tribulation True Lord, when unleashed, illuminated both realms, his majesty unparalleled!

Just as True Lord Jinghua was about to smash the Heaven and Earth Measuring Ruler down on True Lord Zhaozhen, True Lord Zhaozhen's expression remained unchanged, but a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"Shaking mountains and shaking the earth?"

"Humph!"

With a disdainful snort, True Monarch Zhaozhen casually dispelled the Meteorite Myriad Valleys Diagram, and his body immediately began to swell.

“Fellow Daoist Jinghua, I can stop your supernatural power without using any magic treasures.”

Mysterious Divine Powers: Manifesting the Laws of Heaven and Earth!
Unlike Jinghua Zhenjun, who descended to the mortal realm in a Dharma form, Zhaozhen Zhenjun directly expanded his true body, instantly growing to a towering height of a million miles, resembling a giant reaching the heavens.

It follows the laws of heaven and earth, containing boundless power. It can reflect the might of heaven and earth and manifest the laws of all things. Under the blessing of this supernatural power, all kinds of techniques have wonderful uses.

As True Lord Zhaozhen unleashed the Law of Heaven and Earth, his head swayed, and a new head grew on each side; then, with a shake of his arms, four arms sprouted from the top and bottom.

Mysterious supernatural power: Three heads and six arms!
First, he performed the ritual of observing the heavens and the earth, then he added the blessing of three heads and six arms. At this moment, the ferocious appearance of True Lord Zhaozhen was also reflected in the present world. In the sky above Yanzhou, a majestic god with three heads and six arms, spanning millions of miles, rose from the ground. Then, he waved his six arms, moving mountains and seas and shifting the universe!

The Way of Mountains and Rivers is revealed, the Way of Rivers and Seas is made clear. The manifestation of Mountains and Seas pervades all laws. In an instant, the vast breath of Mountains and Seas envelops heaven and earth, permeating the space between reality and illusion, and the Five Tribulations Law Domain.

Immediately following, the ferocious three-headed, six-armed god roared, and with all six arms moving, it unleashed boundless power to move mountains and seas!
The Thirty-Six Heavenly Techniques: Pushing Mountains and Filling Seas!

In an instant, the three-eyed god-man wielding a jade ruler shook mountains and the earth, while the three-headed, six-armed giant pushed mountains and filled seas. The battle between the two million-mile-long gods, between reality and illusion, caused turmoil in the Yan State!
Looking at the celestial image reflected in the sky, Xuan Yi couldn't help but exhale a long breath: "The power of the Five Tribulations True Monarch is truly enviable."

Between reality and illusion, the two Fifth Tribulation True Monarchs fought endlessly, while in the mortal world, the True Monarchs of the two Daoist sects were also locked in a fierce battle.

Cangyuan Zhenjun, Cangxu Zhenjun, and Canglan Zhenjun had already entangled Yufeng Zhenjun, Jiefeng Zhenjun, and Mingfeng Zhenjun. Several second-level true lords with combined cultivation levels were fighting in the air. Although their power could not compare with that of two fifth-level true lords, they still made the world change color, and muffled groans of pain could be heard from time to time.

As fellow Second Tribulation True Lords, neither dared to guarantee they would emerge unscathed when both used their full power.

Xuan Yi glanced at the True Lords fighting fiercely on either side and said to Jiang Sheng, "Ling Yuan, why don't we take this opportunity to go to Beitian Pass and rescue the person first? What do you say?"

Jiang Sheng had already taken the second Three Profound Clarity Pill to recover from his injuries and replenish his mana. Sensing his arms, which had regained sensation, Jiang Sheng nodded: "I've swallowed two Three Profound Clarity Pills. I'm safe for the time being and can fight!"

Xuan Yi didn't say much and immediately transmitted his voice to Ming Xian.

At this moment, Mingxian was fighting against a True Lord of the Yuan generation of the Qiankun Dao Sect. After hearing Xuanyi's voice transmission, he unleashed a killing move without hesitation. The Star River Thousand Stream Banner was raised and thrown by Mingxian like a spear.

In an instant, a mournful cry and a sharp stream of stars arrived simultaneously, piercing through the Dharma body and true spirit of the Yuan-generation True Monarch of the Qiankun Dao Sect!
Without even looking back, Mingxian soared into the air, drew the Star River Thousand Streams Banner, and rushed towards Jiang Sheng and Xuan Yi: "Mingdong, Mingyou, you two hold them off, Lingyuan, Xuan Yi, and I will go to rescue them!"

Ning Chuan, Xie Shu, and Bai Qiu had no objections. Looking at the true disciples of the Qiankun Dao Sect opposite them, the group immediately activated their magic weapons and rushed forward. As true disciples of the Xuanmen sect in the present day, who was afraid of whom?
With Mingdong and Mingyou keeping those Yuan-generation disciples of the Qiankun Dao Sect occupied, Mingxian was able to extricate himself and move to Jiang Sheng and Xuan Yi's side.

Mingxian casually picked up a Three Profound Clarity Pill and swallowed it, saying, "There's no time to lose, let's set off quickly to rescue them!"

Jiang Sheng and Xuan Yi nodded to each other. Xuan Yi also took a few moments to consume a Three Profound Clarity Pill to restore himself to peak condition. Afterward, the three of them soared into the sky together. The actions of Jiang Sheng and his companions naturally attracted the attention of True Monarch Yu Feng and the others.

Penglai Lingyuan, Qinghua Xuanyi, and Tianhe Mingxian are all renowned geniuses of the Shanhe Dao Sect. If these three joined forces, even Fufeng would be unable to avoid death. Now that they are about to leave, how could Yufeng Zhenjun just watch them go?

However, just as True Lord Yufeng was distracted by Jiang Sheng and the others' actions, a celestial star fell from the sky and smashed into True Lord Yufeng, knocking him down from the sky.

boom!
A deafening roar shook the earth.

But then he saw the celestial star crash into Maple Valley, creating a huge crater spanning hundreds of thousands of miles. True Monarch Yufeng shook his head, feeling somewhat dizzy.

Looking up, he saw Cangyuan Zhenjun holding a celestial star with a diameter of hundreds of thousands of miles, sneering at him: "Yufeng, you dare to be distracted while fighting me? Are you courting death?"

As he said this, True Monarch Cangyuan slammed down the Heavenly Star in his hand again. True Monarch Yufeng disregarded everything else and raised his hand to activate the gale, which transformed into a stream of wind and shattered the Heavenly Star. At this moment, True Monarch Cangyuan had already pressed forward, giving True Monarch Yufeng no chance to catch his breath.

Although Cangyuan Zhenjun didn't know what his Mingxian was going to do with Penglai Jiangsheng and Qinghua Xuanyi, he would not sit idly by and watch Yufeng and the others obstruct the younger generation's movements.

The more Yu Feng Zhenjun was unwilling to see something happen, the more Cang Yuan Zhenjun was willing to make it happen. He wouldn't allow his own juniors to covet it.

Seeing that he could not break free from Cangyuan Zhenjun's side, Yufeng Zhenjun had no choice but to send a telepathic message to the others, attempting to intercept Jiang Sheng and the other two.

However, Jiefeng Zhenjun and Mingfeng Zhenjun were blocked by Cangxu Zhenjun and Canglan Zhenjun respectively, while other Yuan and Feng generation Zhenjun were also blocked by Mingdong, Mingyou and Tianhe Daozong Zhenjun who came later. For a time, there was not a single person available in the entire Maple Valley.

Left with no other choice, True Lord Yufeng had to send a message to the Immortal Palace of Longevity, hoping that Immortal Lord Ziying of Longevity would send reinforcements as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, in the Longevity Immortal Palace, the Longevity Immortal Lord stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the mountains, rivers, and streams of Yanzhou that appeared in the Mountain and Sun Cauldron.

Dozens of stars appeared in the area where Maple Valley is located.

Each star represents a celestial being of the Upper Three Realms. More than ten of them are blue, representing the True Lords of the Qiankun Dao Sect, while the rest are black, representing the enemies of the Tianhe Dao Sect.

Currently, twenty or thirty True Monarchs of the Upper Three Realms have poured into Maple Valley Dao Palace from the Heavenly River Dao Sect.

However, the Immortal Lord of Longevity showed no sign of agitation, because within the northern region of Yanzhou, countless cyan stars were already twinkling and surrounding Maple Valley.

Throughout the entire northern region of Yanzhou, the Qiankun Dao Sect has a total of fifty-three Dao Palaces and sixty-two True Immortals. Even though seven or eight of them were injured and more than ten were tied up, the Qiankun Dao Sect was still able to mobilize at least thirty Upper Three Realms to provide support.

Rather than fighting it out in Maple Valley Palace, it would be much easier to kill them all in one fell swoop.

As for those True Lords of sects trapped in Maple Valley Dao Palace, in the eyes of Immortal Lord Wanshou, they were all beings who could be sacrificed.

Without bait and unnecessary sacrifices, how could they possibly have killed dozens of True Monarchs of the Tianhe Dao Sect in one fell swoop?
If we can kill those Upper Three Realms cultivators from the Tianhe Dao Sect who have stormed into Yanzhou, it will be equivalent to cutting off one of the Tianhe Dao Sect's hands.

"If the Tianhe Dao Sect dares to be the first to enter, they should be prepared to have one of their hands cut off."

"Issue my decree!"

Several disciples beside the Immortal Lord of Longevity immediately took out communication jade pendants to convey the Immortal Lord of Longevity's decree to various parts of Yanzhou.

"First, all the Yuan and Feng generation members in the northern region of Yanzhou will gather around Fenggu Dao Palace. Outside Fenggu Dao Palace, set up the Sun and Moon Qiankun Formation to trap and kill those inside."

"Second, Han Yuan, together with the Yin Yang Orthodox Sect and the true disciples of Dao Yi Palace in Linhai, left Linhai and trapped Penglai Lingyu, Chixiao Xuyuanzi and others outside Linhai."

"Third, Jing Kan left the Southern Heavenly Pass and entered the Northern Region to preside over the Sun and Moon Qiankun Formation."

The Immortal Lord of Longevity gave a calm instruction, and decrees were transmitted in all directions. A group of True Lords of the Qiankun Dao Sect flew into the air and surrounded Maple Valley from all directions.

Meanwhile, inside the Linhai Dao Palace, Han Yuan, upon receiving the news, immediately joined forces with his allies, including Shao Yin, Shao Yang, Lian Ri, and Cai Yue, to fight against Ling Yu, Xu Yuanzi, Kong Zhen, and others.

Just as the entire northern region of Yanzhou was in chaos, and the southern region of Yanzhou was also affected, Jiang Sheng, Ming Xian, and Xuan Yi had already rushed out of Fenggu Dao Palace and headed straight for Beitian Pass.

Along the way, Jiang Sheng and his two companions made no attempt to conceal their auras, yet they did not encounter a single True Monarch from the Qiankun Dao Sect!

This truly surprised the three of them.

In any case, we shouldn't have encountered no one along the way.

Sensing the commotion around him, Xuan Yi couldn't help but say, "Ling Yuan, Ming Xian, something's not right!"

Mingxian said, "We can't retreat now. Even if things are not right, we have to rush over and see what's going on."

Jiang Sheng nodded without saying anything more. The three of them accelerated again, and the 200 million li journey was only a few dozen breaths for the three Void Refinement Realm experts.

When Jiang Sheng and his two companions finally reached the front of Beitian Pass, looking at the floating inverted peaks, the towering palaces and pavilions, and the motionless passes and city walls, all three of them looked rather solemn.

"To be honest, this Beitian Pass is too quiet."

"Yeah, I always feel like this place is a trap, waiting for us to walk right into it."

Xuan Yi and Ming Xian chatted back and forth, showing no intention of backing down.

Jiang Sheng looked at the dim and desolate Beitian Pass before him and said softly, "I understand."

Xuan Yi and Ming Xian looked over at the same time, and saw Jiang Sheng say, "In Yanzhou, besides the four Fifth Tribulation True Monarchs who are stationed in the east, west, south and north respectively, there is also a Fifth Tribulation True Monarch!"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yi and Ming Xian were startled, feeling as if they had subconsciously overlooked something. Now, hearing Jiang Sheng mention it, they both understood what they had been ignoring!
"Ha, that's quite a brilliant idea."

"It seems that the overwhelming aura of calamity did not cloud your mind."

"If that's the case, then why did you rush over here to die?"

"Penglai Spirit Abyss?"

With a soft laugh, a figure slowly emerged from the continuous city walls of Beitian Pass.

Wearing a seven-star moon crown and a light gold eight-trigram robe;
She wore a jade belt with a dragon-shaped ornament around her waist and square boots adorned with precious jade.
Three flowers bloom on the head, resembling a lotus; five elements condense into radiant light in the chest.
The back of his head is like a bright moon, and his eyes are like starlight, revealing profound mystery.

That handsome, extraordinary-looking Taoist priest, seated cross-legged on the back of the one-horned jade Pixiu, who else could he be but the Taiyi Dongxuan Qianxuan Lingfeng True Lord?! (End of Chapter)
