I start by marrying Yunxiao, who's in a vegetative state; I'm invincible in the primor

The ancestral home of humankind.

Li Yu personally selected millions of successors to carry on the torch.

Among them, the 100,000 successors of the torch are comparable to the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm.

Millions of people have passed on the torch, a feat comparable to a celestial realm.

The remaining cultivators are all at least on par with the Primordial Immortal Realm.

With tens of millions of successors, it's enough to initially establish the Earth Immortal Abode system!

Even the Iron-Eating Beast clan is selecting its sons, giving priority to those who have made meritorious contributions in the great battle against Chi You!

The Iron-Eating Beast race is also very difficult to breed, and when it joined the human race, it only had 100,000 offspring.

Living in the bamboo forest, they enjoy life to the fullest. They eat their fill, sleep, and entertain themselves at night.

As it has developed to this day, it has reached a scale of millions.

The Iron-Eating Beast clan urgently selected 100,000 young men to train alongside tens of millions of other clan members.

Two and a half years after the training.

Longevity Hill, Wuzhuang Temple.

Zhen Yuanzi, dressed in an apricot-yellow Daoist robe, summoned the Earth Membrane, revealing the full power of a Quasi-Saint at the Great Perfection!

"I am Zhen Yuanzi!"

"Feeling that the primordial world is incomplete, and that the Heavenly Court, which rules over it, has accomplished nothing, I hereby establish the Earthly Immortal lineage at Wuzhuang Temple!"

"The Earthly Immortal Abode's duty is to manage the mountains, rivers, and seas of the primordial world!"

"Use the earth's membrane to suppress the fortune of the Earth Immortal's Abode!"

"Earthly Immortal Abode, Establish!"

boom!

High above, the winds and clouds shift and change!

Furthermore, because the Earthly Immortal Abode is not under the jurisdiction of the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man in the Primordial World!

The eye of the Great Dao gazes upon heaven and earth!

The will of the Great Dao has granted permission to establish the Earthly Immortal Abode!

boom!

hum!

From the heavens above, the great fortune and merit of the Great Dao descended and flew into Zhen Yuanzi's body!

In an instant!

Zhen Yuanzi's cultivation level broke through from the Great Perfection of Quasi-Saint to the Sub-Saint realm!

Styx was also at this level, his cultivation far surpassing that of a Quasi-Saint at the Great Perfection, but far inferior to that of a Saint!

Zhen Yuanzi burst into laughter, "I am the master of the Earthly Immortal Palace!"

Countless humans were the first to respond, "Paying homage to the Ancestor of Earthly Immortals!"

The demon race slaughtered the human race! No one in the primordial world came to the aid of humanity!

Only Zhen Yuanzi could stop Donghuang Taiyi! To save humanity!

He has done humanity a great favor! He has shown us great kindness!

After completing their training, the successors of the torch and the iron-eating beasts immediately went to Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain to receive the imperial decree from the ancestor of the earth immortals!

"Although Mount Buzhou has collapsed, it was once the number one immortal mountain in the primordial world, and should be considered a first-rank immortal!"

"Mount Kunlun and Mount Shouyang should be ranked as first-grade immortals!"

"The Five Sacred Mountains...the Great Rivers..."

The saints are at odds with humanity? He finds them disgusting!

Instead of retreating, the human race went to Kunlun Mountain and Shouyang Mountain to become mountain gods and local deities!

Millions of humans quickly settled in various sacred mountains and blessed lands, taking up positions such as mountain gods, earth gods, and river gods.

The framework of the Earthly Immortal Abode has been established; it only needs further refinement.

At the same time!

The primordial world, the Heavenly Court.

Haotian, acting on the orders of the Dao Ancestor, abolished the position of the Ziwei Emperor and severely punished the immortals and gods of the Jie Sect!

Haotian was ambitious and wanted to make a big splash, but he was dumbfounded.

A celestial being from the Chan Sect has come to take up a post? What kind of character is he?

Disrespectful to the Heavenly Court! Calling the Heavenly Emperor a mere brat!

When asked to assign duties to the immortals of the Chan Sect, one of them coldly retorted, "What merit or ability does Haotian, a mere gatekeeper, possess to command us, the disciples of a sage?"

"You brat Haotian, shut up! The Heavenly Court is run by us; who are you to interfere?"

When the Heavenly Court cooperated with the Jie Sect, the immortals of the Jie Sect at least outwardly gave face to the Jade Emperor.

The immortals of the Jie Sect operated the Heavenly Court in an orderly manner.

And what happens when the immortals of the Chan Sect arrive? They fight for power and profit, and despise all living beings!

The Heavenly Court is almost at a standstill!

Haotian cried, but dared not speak his anger. "The Chan Sect... what kind of people are they? They're not even as good as a single hair on my brother's head..."

What can we do?

The decree of the Dao Ancestor is to abolish the Ziwei Emperor and annihilate the immortals of the Jie Sect!

Haotian dared not disobey!

"It's so bitter! It's really too bitter!" The Great Heavenly Venerable Haotian is becoming more and more transparent, and his edicts can't even leave the Lingxiao Palace.

Yaochi comforted Haotian, "Senior brother, don't worry! Heaven will get better!"

Haotian cried, "Really? Is it properly wrapped?"

"It's all wrapped up!"

However! Haotian was shocked to hear the terrible news.

"I, Zhen Yuanzi! Today I establish my Earthly Immortal Abode! I shall govern the mountains, rivers, and seas of the primordial world!"

Haotian's eyes widened in shock. "Holy crap! Zhen Yuanzi controls mountains, rivers, and seas, so what does my Heavenly Court control?"

The Heavenly Court rules over the primordial world, but what is there to rule over the heavens?

All the essence resides in the primordial land!

Now, Zhen Yuanzi has been bestowing titles upon mountain gods, land gods, river gods, and other immortals, who have taken up residence in the primordial land.

Undoubtedly! They've stolen all the responsibilities and jobs from the Heavenly Court!

Once Zhen Yuanzi firmly establishes himself as the master of the Earthly Immortal Palace and completely controls the prehistoric land, what is the point of the Heavenly Court?

Haotian couldn't sit still any longer! He really couldn't sit still any longer!

I can't sleep at night!

After much deliberation, Haotian picked nine... no, three, the Ren Water Peaches, and hurriedly headed to the Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain.

Greetings to Senior Brother Zhenyuan.

Haotian met Zhen Yuanzi, presented him with Renshui Peaches of Immortality, and explained his purpose: "Can the Earthly Immortal Palace nominally submit to the rule of the Heavenly Court?"

"Yes! In name only!"

Zhen Yuanzi picked at his ear. "When you deposed my virtuous brother, the Ziwei Emperor, you were quite decisive."

"Don't you know that Li Yu is my beloved brother, my half-brother?"

"Qingfeng! Mingyue! Throw Haotian out of here!"

"Throw those Ren-water peaches he gave me into the stinking ditch!"

"Hetui!"

"You were ruthless in betraying my virtuous brother, yet now you want the Earthly Immortal Palace to nominally submit to the Heavenly Court's rule?"

"All you ever do is dream about nice things!"

Haotian was thrown out and returned to the Heavenly Court in anger.

Haotian was furious. "Zhen Yuanzi is a scoundrel! How dare he be so audacious as to disrespect me?"

"Fine! Fine! Fine! You don't respect me? Then I'll give up all respect!"

How about it?

Haotian fought Zhen Yuanzi. He couldn't beat him.

Abolish the Earthly Immortal Palace? That's something the Great Dao acknowledges; Haotian has absolutely no right to do so!

Competing with Zhen Yuanzi for the imperial decree to grant titles over mountains, rivers, and seas? Haotian has absolutely no one else to rely on!

The Chan Sect? They're all a bunch of daddies! Living daddies!

As more and more immortals move in and improve their residences!

The fortune that originally belonged to the Heavenly Court was seized by the Earthly Immortal Palace.

Haotian was extremely anxious. "No... the Heavenly Court's prestige is being under increasing pressure. We must find another way... find an easy target in the prehistoric world to bully and salvage some of our fortune and dignity!"

And so!

Haotian has set his sights on the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas!

The dragon race has long lost its former glory and has retreated to the four seas to eke out a living.

Haotian wanted to subdue the dragon clan and appoint them to the position of controlling clouds and rain, thus supplementing the duties of the Heavenly Court.

But the problem came again.

Haotian has no one else he can rely on!

They managed to recruit a million heavenly soldiers and generals, but lacked a commander to lead them.

The dragon clan, though its camels are bigger than horses, has occupied the four seas. Although its chieftains and experts have all died or been injured, its shrimp soldiers and crab generals number in the millions.

Helpless, Haotian had no choice but to play the subservient role and beg the immortals of the Chan Sect for help.

He said all sorts of nice things and promised that after subduing the dragon clan, he would share the fortune of bringing rain and clouds with the Chan Sect!

Chanjiao reluctantly agreed.

Guang Chengzi led the army, with the Antarctic Immortal and Chi Jingzi assisting him. They commanded a million heavenly soldiers and marched down from the South Heavenly Gate to the East Sea to attack the East Sea Dragon Clan!

Human race, thatched huts and courtyards.

Xiao Hu and You Sheng came to report, "The Heavenly Court has mobilized a million heavenly soldiers and generals to attack the Dragon Clan of the East Sea."

Li Yu smiled calmly, "Even if he goes to offer birthday greetings, we can't let him go!"

"If the Heavenly Court dares to attack the East Sea today, will it attack the human race tomorrow?"

"Issue my decree!"

"If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold; let's attack the Heavenly Court to protect the East Sea!"

The Battle of the East China Sea was about to begin.
