Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

The Northern Heavenly Pass must not be lost!
This was Lingfeng Zhenjun's only thought at that moment.

As a Fifth Tribulation True Monarch of the Qiankun Dao Sect, True Monarch Lingfeng was very clear about the sect's layout in Yanzhou. Although Yanzhou is now a battlefield in the Qiankun Dao Sect's strategic layout, before this, Yanzhou had always been an extremely important territory of the Qiankun Dao Sect. After all, it is one of the nine major states of the Nine Provinces Realm, and occupying Yanzhou is to occupy one-ninth of the fortune of the Nine Provinces Realm.

Moreover, in the long-term plans of the Qiankun Dao Sect, Kongdong Dao Sect, and Huayun Dao Sect, Zhuzhou and Yangzhou in the Nine Provinces were intentionally abandoned to provide a place for all races to grow. As a result, humanity no longer exists in Zhuzhou and Yangzhou, which have become the domain of demons.

In this way, not only was the balance of Yin and Yang in the Nine Provinces restored and all things were in order, but the fortune of Zhu Province and Yang Province was also separated and flowed into other continents.

Currently, the combined fortune of Zhuzhou and Yangzhou in the Nine Provinces is less than one-tenth, so it wouldn't hurt to give it to the Eastern Heaven Daoist family.

But Yanzhou is different!
Yanzhou is a place that the Qiankun Dao Sect has painstakingly cultivated, and it occupies one-tenth of the fortune of the entire Nine Provinces. It is a place where humanity flourishes and possesses dragon energy. It must not be given up easily!

It could even be said that even if nearly three hundred Dao Palaces were lost in the four regions of Yanzhou (east, west, south, and north), the four Heavenly Gates could not be lost.

The Northern Heavenly Pass is not only the gateway from the Northern Region of Yanzhou to the Longevity Immortal Palace, but also the gate used by the Qiankun Dao Sect to suppress the fortune of the Northern Region of Yanzhou. After all, the four Heavenly Passes and the Longevity Immortal Palace together account for nearly 90% of the fortune of Yanzhou.
Lingfeng Zhenjun's mind was filled with chaotic thoughts, which even caused a slight fluctuation in his Dao heart. This subtle fluctuation was immediately noticed by Zhaohong Zhenjun.

With a wave of his hand, True Lord Zhao Hong summoned a Seven Treasures Jade Gourd. As True Lord Zhao Hong made a hand seal, the Seven Treasures Jade Gourd spun around and then expanded three times in mid-air, spitting out three streaks of light.

In an instant, the sun, moon, and stars arrived together, and the crimson, silver, and purple streams of light traveled millions of miles in a flash, crashing into Lingfeng Zhenjun's heart and shattering the seventeen layers of magical power barriers on his body. Even his protective aura was breached.

If True Monarch Lingfeng hadn't reacted in time and used his protective magic weapon to withstand the attack, that bolt of lightning would have been enough to severely injure him!

Although the cultivation of the Five Tribulations has long been connected with the Five Elements and can be endlessly reborn from a drop of blood.

However, in the same realm, recovering from an injury is not an easy task; your opponent will not give you a chance to catch your breath.

Just as True Lord Lingfeng used his magic weapon to block the three streaks of light, the wailing sound of breaking through the air had already exploded on both sides of True Lord Lingfeng. Suddenly, clouds burst and thunder roared, and two streams of light, carrying bolts of thunder, came over and crashed into True Lord Lingfeng from both sides.

Lingfeng Zhenjun's eyes narrowed, and with a wave of his hand, five-colored light swirled around his body, creating more than a dozen layers of protective magical barriers. When the light from the left and right collided with him, the layers of magical barriers were directly detonated by Lingfeng Zhenjun.

boom!
The Five Elements Barrier shattered, unleashing a torrent of energy that surged in all directions. The two streaks of lightning were instantly annihilated within this torrent.

However, amidst the surging aftershocks of the explosion, Lingfeng Zhenjun suddenly let out a muffled groan.

Looking down, he saw two purple command flags, each about a foot in size, stuck under his ribs, clearly indicating that his kidneys had been damaged.

The kidneys contain turbid essence and contain the water element of the Five Elements. These two command flags damaged Lingfeng Zhenjun's kidneys, indirectly causing a slight imbalance in the balance of the Five Elements in Lingfeng Zhenjun.

Zhao Hong Zhenjun once again summoned the Seven Treasures Jade Gourd, and taking advantage of Ling Feng Zhenjun's injury from the command flag, he directly activated the Seven Treasures Jade Gourd to blast him away.

In an instant, the clouds exploded, the thunder collapsed, and with a deafening roar, a bright moon star flickered between reality and illusion, causing even the bright moon hanging high in the sky in the real world to tremble.

This scene caught not only the True Monarchs of the Maple Valley Dao Palace and the Northern Region of Yanzhou off guard, but also the other three regions of Yanzhou and the Purple Response Longevity Immortal Monarch who was stationed at the Longevity Immortal Palace.

The Immortal Lord of Longevity stared intently at the turbulent, bright moon of destiny, his brows furrowed: "Ling Feng?"

"How could it be him?"

At the same time, in the space between reality and illusion.

Zhao Hong Zhenjun stroked his beard and smiled: "Ling Feng, you still have to be distracted when fighting me? Where has your cultivation gone after more than six thousand years?"

"Or has something happened at Beitian Pass that makes you unable to even spare the time to fight with me?"

Thirty million miles away from Zhao Hong Zhenjun, when the smoke and dust dissipated, Ling Feng Zhenjun's face was somewhat pale. The protective aura in front of him had been shattered without a trace, and a wound the size of a fist ran through his chest and back, with no flesh or blood left in it.

Just now, the Seven Treasures Jade Gourd activated by True Lord Zhao Hong actually pierced through True Lord Ling Feng's body, even damaging his internal organs.

"cough cough"

Lingfeng Zhenjun couldn't stop coughing. He glanced at the injury on his chest and forced a smile, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, Zhaohong Zhenjun. I was distracted."

Before he finished speaking, a stream of light surged out from Lingfeng Zhenjun's sleeve and rushed straight towards Zhaohong Zhenjun's face!

The streak of light, like a comet striking the moon, swept across thirty million miles of land in an instant. As the light moved, five colors of light—blue, red, white, black, and yellow—entwined around it, converging into a five-colored glazed hue, and a murderous aura arose. The light was like an arrow, aimed straight at the vital point!
As Zhao Hong Zhenjun watched the streak of light heading straight for him, he raised his hand and gestured for the two purple command flags that had severely injured Ling Feng Zhenjun to cross and collide with the streak of light.

In an instant, the magical treasures collided, unleashing a deafening roar. Taking advantage of the moment, True Monarch Lingfeng took out three precious pills and swallowed them. The flesh on his chest immediately regenerated and was fully restored. However, the damage to his magic robe was difficult to repair in the short term, affecting the robe's defensive capabilities.

However, this damage is nothing to a true treasure of the combined grade, the pale gold Bagua Robe.

Lingfeng Zhenjun pointed his sword-like fingers at the Seven Stars and Moon Crown above his head. The seven stars embedded in the crown burst forth with light one after another. Then, the Seven Stars and Dippers appeared in the distance above Lingfeng Zhenjun's head, their starlight surrounding the bright moon.

With the blessing of the Seven Stars, Lingfeng Zhenjun's Bright Moon Destiny Star stabilized and shone brightly, causing Lingfeng Zhenjun's aura to rise steadily.

Sensing the change in Lingfeng Zhenjun's aura, Zhaohong Zhenjun snorted coldly. The Lingxiao Golden Cloud Crown above his head rose, its golden light soaring into the sky and illuminating the heavens. The brilliant golden light spurred the transformation of his destiny star, and the original silvery light of Zhaohong Zhenjun's bright moon destiny star began to change towards golden brilliance.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Hong Zhenjun made a hand seal, and the Nine-Responding Purple Cloud Robe on his body rose up, and a misty purple aura enveloped Zhao Hong Zhenjun. As the purple aura rose, the aura canopy above Zhao Hong Zhenjun's head expanded a few more times.

"Ling Feng, if you lose one move, you'll lose every step of the way."

"You are currently forcibly repairing your injuries and activating your life star, which makes you seem powerful, but you are just a sick tiger. You look strong, but as long as you take one blow from me, you will be reduced to your original form!"

Before he finished speaking, True Lord Zhao Hong raised the Seven Treasures Jade Gourd. The jade gourd, inlaid with seven kinds of treasures, spun around in True Lord Zhao Hong's hand, emitting seven layers of precious light. Its crystal-clear quality resembled a celestial treasure from the heavens.

"The golden sky shines brightly, and the bright moon shines like the sun!"

As the soaring golden light of the Lingxiao Golden Cloud Crown connects with the destiny star of the True Lord Zhaohong, the original bright moon destiny star gradually loses its silvery radiance and briefly transforms into a golden sun.

"Purple clouds surround her, and her fortune shines forth."

Amidst the swirling purple aura of the Nine-Responding Purple Cloud Robe, which resembled a dragon, True Lord Zhao Hong's fortune surged. As his aura expanded, the three flowers on his head and the five energies in his chest rose steadily.

In an instant, the golden, silver, and lead flowers above Zhao Hong Zhenjun's head shone with a mysterious light like lotus flowers, and the five elements in his chest circulated and created. The canopy of fortune above his head expanded and almost transformed into auspicious clouds, while the star of destiny expanded like a golden sun.

At this moment, True Lord Zhaohong was almost entering the Pure Yang Realm. His awe-inspiring power shone between reality and illusion, manifesting in the present world. All living beings in Yanzhou saw that vast and majestic figure. He wore the Lingxiao Golden Cloud Crown and the Nine-Responding Purple Cloud Robe.
Wearing a jade dragon belt around her waist and flat cloud-patterned shoes on her feet;
Holding a seven-jeweled jade gourd in his hand, accompanied by a winged dragon-horned tiger;
The wheel of the Dao turns like the sun and moon, and the divine might of the Five Tribulations Lord is awe-inspiring.

Almost everyone recognized the origin of that majestic figure: the Heavenly River Dao Sect, the Taiyi Cave Xuanxiao Yingzhao Hongzhenjun!

At this moment, between reality and illusion, True Lord Zhao Hong had three lotus flowers above his head, his aura expanding like clouds, and he held a seven-treasure jade gourd in his hand. His eyes shone with golden light, and his divine might was awe-inspiring: "Ling Feng, don't say that I am bullying the weak. If you can withstand this move, you can leave today!"

As he spoke, the Seven Treasures Jade Gourd in Zhao Hong Zhenjun's hand soared into the sky, reflecting the brilliant light of seven treasures and glazed tiles.

"Seven Treasures Reflecting the Sky - Jade Mushroom Mysterious Heavenly Fall!"

"Soul Shattering, Spirit Scattering!"

In an instant, Zhao Hong Zhenjun pointed his finger, and the Seven Treasures Jade Gourd, reflecting seven layers of precious light, transformed into flowing brilliance and fell from the sky. The Way of Fortune manifested in heaven and earth, and the power of stars and the brilliance of the seven treasures burst forth, reflecting that point of flowing brilliance and shattering heaven and earth.

As the seven treasures shone down, True Monarch Lingfeng felt as if his own magical power was sealed off. Under the suppression of the Great Dao of Destiny, True Monarch Lingfeng's Bright Moon Destiny Star was suppressed to the point that it could hardly shine through, and the canopy of destiny above his head was dark and full of decay.

With his fortune waning and his destiny star suppressed, Lingfeng Zhenjun was now in dire straits.

Upon seeing this, the jade pixiu with a single horn tried to rush back to protect its master, but it was held firmly by the winged dragon tiger, which prevented it from returning to protect its master. The jade pixiu roared and tried its best, but it could not break free.

Even so, True Monarch Lingfeng did not give up. He used the magic power restored by the three precious pills to forcefully boost his supernatural abilities and activate the magic weapon. However, at this moment, that point of flowing light had already fallen from the sky!
In an instant, the greatest sound is silent, and the invisible aftershocks dissipate layer by layer.

Above the sky above Yanzhou, a bright moon and a large star flickered intermittently before dimming and disappearing.

Seeing this scene, countless True Monarchs of the Qiankun Dao Sect felt inexplicably terrified, for that Destiny Star was the symbol of True Monarch Lingfeng.

Could it be that something went wrong with this Fifth Tribulation True Monarch?
Meanwhile, the Northern Heavenly Pass was also trembling incessantly amidst the dazzling sword light.

Jiang Sheng slashed down with his sword that severed cause and effect, and with one strike, the protective array of Beitian Pass was dimmed.

Although the protective formation of Beitian Pass is a first-class protective formation, its level and grade are all top-notch.

However, this is Yanzhou after all, located in the inland area of ​​Yanzhou, and usually guarded by a Five Tribulation True Monarch. Therefore, half of the protective array of Beitian Pass is supplied by the spiritual energy of its earth veins, while the other half requires the presence of a Five Tribulation True Monarch, or at least a being with the cultivation level of Integration Realm.

But where are the True Lords of the Fusion Realm at this time?

The remaining two or three True Monarchs of the Void Refinement Realm were completely unable to control this mountain-protecting formation. Sending them out to fight Jiang Sheng and his two companions would be suicidal. They could only do their best to manipulate the formation to resist and buy time for the sect's reinforcements.

Just now, with the demise of Lingfeng Zhenjun, a Fifth Tribulation True Monarch, these few Void Refinement cultivators felt their hearts sink to the bottom: Lingfeng Zhenjun was their only remaining ally.

With no reinforcements in sight, and even though there are only three Nascent Soul cultivators from the Eastern Heavenly Daoist sect outside the Northern Heavenly Pass, they still see no hope.

Penglai Lingyuan, Qinghua Xuanyi, and Tianhe Mingxian—these three renowned young talents from across the myriad realms are not to be easily defeated.

As Jiang Sheng swung his sword, Ming Xian and Xuan Yi saw through the true nature of Beitian Pass: "There's hardly anyone left in Beitian Pass!"

Jiang Sheng also said, "Fellow Daoists, lend me a hand and let's dismantle this North Heavenly Gate to destroy the fortune of their Qiankun Dao Sect!"

Upon hearing this, Mingxian and Xuanyi simultaneously activated their divine powers. Outside the Northern Heavenly Pass, they saw a multitude of stars paying homage to the Purple Star, while a river of stars flowed and condensed into the shadow of a towering axe.

Jiang Sheng once again activated the Qingping Sword, gathering the power of the Three Calamities and the breath of the final calamity, and transforming the Three Calamities and Four Symbols into mottled sword light, bursting forth with profound sword energy.

Xuan Yi then unleashed the Nine Bright Ruler of Profound Light. As the Dao Wheel behind his head spun, the Three Flowers gathered at the top of his head, and countless stars manifested their brilliance in succession. The Ziwei Life Star hung high in the sky, and as purple energy burst forth, the Ziwei Star shone upon the Northern Heaven Pass, making the mountain-protecting formation seem to melt away.

"The Purple Star shines brightly, suppressing the dragon and bringing good fortune!"

As he spoke, Xuan Yi, like an emperor wielding a sword, brandished the Xuan Guang Jiu Ming Chi and slashed horizontally at the mountain-protecting formation before him. The purple aura, like a sword beam, swept across thousands of miles like a swirling mat.

In an instant, the Purple Star Stream, which suppressed the dragon's energy, struck the Northern Heavenly Gate Formation, causing the already dim mountain-protecting formation to shake violently and almost to the point of destruction.

Panic gripped Beitian Pass. The three Refining Void True Monarchs of the Qiankun Dao Sect risked their lives to have their disciples pour their magical power into the mountain-protecting formation, and mobilized all the spiritual energy of Beitian Pass into the formation to stabilize it.

Mingxian also raised the Star River Thousand Streams Banner. As the starry river flowed and surged across the sky, endless starlight condensed and refined on the Star River Thousand Streams Banner, transforming into the shape of a halberd spanning ten thousand miles of starry river.

The great axe solidified, unleashing the power to split the heavens and earth.

"A myriad of stars coalesce into an axe and halberd; the Milky Way opens up heaven and earth!"

Mingxian wielded the Star River Thousand Streams Banner with great force, while the Starry Sky Axe fell from the sky, containing the sharpness to split the earth and open the heavens, and slashed straight at the Northern Heavenly Gate!
Under the axe of the starry river that split the earth and opened the heavens, all the efforts made by the people of the Qiankun Dao Sect in Beitian Pass were as insignificant as a piece of white silk.

When the mighty axe fell from the sky, the heavens and earth shattered, the sun and moon lost their light, and the mountain-protecting array that the three Void Refinement cultivators of the Qiankun Dao Sect had barely managed to activate flickered again. Cracks were visible everywhere on the array, and the entire array was on the verge of collapse.

As the magic array was about to break, the entire Beitian Pass was filled with unease, as if it were the end of the world.

At the same time, the Heaven-Slaying Sword Light in Jiang Sheng's hand also took shape!
A dazzling sword light soared into the cold north, and the Four Symbols Dao behind Jiang Sheng's head spun endlessly. Heaven and earth were plunged into a vast chaos, a place without form or substance. Sword light leaped from time, containing the power to destroy all laws, striking in all directions.

"Severing Heaven, Breaking All Laws!"

When that mottled sword light leaped forth, containing the power to destroy all laws and sweep across thousands of armies, the protective array of Beitian Pass finally could not withstand it and collapsed into countless rays of light.

The sword beam that shattered all laws swept across three million miles, smashing through the protective array of the Northern Heaven Pass before continuing its momentum straight towards the inverted peaks of the Immortal Palace.

Amidst the collapse and fissures, the Cloud Palace, suspended above the Northern Heavenly Gate, crumbled and disintegrated.

The pillar of fortune for the Qiankun Dao Sect in Yanzhou was also missing a piece due to the collapse of the Northern Heavenly Pass.

In an instant, all living beings in Yanzhou understood:

The foundation of the Qiankun Dao Sect in Yanzhou has been shaken. (End of Chapter)
