Loan Wusheng

Dark clouds covered the sky above Xuantian Sect.

A bronze compass hung atop Danxia Peak. Zheng Jun's 'Stealing Heavenly Secrets' Dharma Image was operating at full power, with nine chains coiling around the spiritual veins like dragons and snakes, frantically extracting the spiritual essence accumulated by the Xuantian Sect over three thousand years.

It's like a water pump.

Meanwhile, the four great emperors of the Luo Tian Realm exuded a chilling aura, their white bone thrones pressing down on the void.

The Skeleton Empress sneered, and with a skeletal hand, the remaining spiritual light of the Xuan Tian Sect's protective array instantly shattered.

She opened her mouth and inhaled, the azure essence emanating from the spiritual veins surging into her mouth like a long river, causing her soul fire to surge: "Refreshing! The spiritual veins of this Xuanhuang Realm are indeed a hundred times stronger than the remnants of those shattered worlds!"

Her eyes were filled with greed, and she had completely forgotten about how Zheng Jun had previously unleashed his power and forced her into a sorry state.

After all, no matter what the grudge is, as long as the benefit is big enough, it can be forgotten.

Moreover, it was just a minor conflict.

The other three emperors were equally unceremonious. One of them, a withered skeletal emperor clad in tattered imperial robes, raised his hand and summoned thousands of ghostly shadows to devour the spiritual veins.

Another ghost emperor, his body shrouded in crimson blood mist, directly tore apart the earth's veins and put the fragments of the spiritual veins into his sleeve.

The last one, the Luo Tian Emperor, who resembled a giant corpse, was even more ferocious. He shattered half of Danxia Peak with one foot, and the spiritual veins poured out like a waterfall, which he collected entirely with the Yellow Spring Pot.

We've come for the buffet.

Inside the Xuantian Sect, the Golden Core elders were furious.

"You scoundrel! How dare you destroy the foundation of my Xuan Tian Sect?!"

An old Golden Core cultivator with white hair, nearing the end of his lifespan, roared. His hair and beard stood on end as he burned his last bit of lifespan and unleashed his natal magic weapon.

A crimson fire-patterned sword was instantly drawn, its light like a rainbow, slashing straight at the giant corpse emperor.

"Noisy."

The Giant Corpse Emperor didn't even turn around. His scarlet aura surged, transforming into a ghostly hand that blotted out the sky, and he slammed it down in mid-air.

The old Golden Core cultivator and his sword were crushed into a bloody mist. Before his remnant soul could escape, it was swallowed whole by another Great Emperor whose body was shrouded in bloody mist, causing his soul fire to burn even brighter.

The other Golden Core elders trembled with fear, and none of them dared to step forward.

With the mountain-protecting formation broken and the patriarch yet to return, they are now like lambs to the slaughter, forced to watch helplessly as the spiritual veins are plundered.

In the distance, Jade Palace Frost True Lord stood on the clouds, his face ashen.

The jade sword in his hand hummed, but he didn't move it for a long time.

"Five Nascent Soul level warriors... If we act rashly, we risk being surrounded and attacked..."

He gritted his teeth and whispered, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

Although the will of Heaven suppressed the external enemy, the other party was clearly prepared. The bronze compass could even shift the secrets of Heaven, greatly reducing the suppression of the will of Heaven and Earth.

Those four ghosts were even more ferocious, specializing in the ghost path, and their efficiency in plundering spiritual veins far exceeded that of ordinary cultivators!

"Enough... The calamity of the Xuantian Sect cannot be resolved by me alone!"

Jade Palace Frost True Lord finally sighed, thinking that it would be better to leave early than to be a 'useless husband' here.

Immediately, Jade Palace Frost True Lord rolled up his sleeves and vanished in a streak of light.

He must contact other Nascent Soul True Monarchs as soon as possible, especially those from the Taixu Sword Pavilion. Otherwise, if the Xuantian Sect's spiritual vein is really taken away today, the entire Xuanhuang Realm's cultivator community will be affected!

On Danxia Peak, Zheng Jun sensed the retreat of Jade Palace Frost True Monarch and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Gentlemen, I'm almost done."

After extracting about 40% of the spiritual veins, Zheng Jun made a calculation and felt that he could stop here. Staying any longer might be risky. He immediately cupped his hands to the other four Luo Tian Realm Emperors who were still extracting spiritual veins and said, "I will take my leave first. Fellow Daoists, farewell."

After saying that, Zheng Jun allocated half of the forty percent of spiritual veins he had already acquired to the four Luo Tian Emperors.

"A small courtesy is not respectful."

Seeing Zheng Jun voluntarily share half of the spiritual vein, the four Great Emperors of the Luo Tian Realm instantly blazed with intense soul fire. The Skeleton Empress seized the ball of azure light with her stark white claws and cackled, "Fellow Daoist is indeed generous! If there is such a good thing again, don't forget to let me know!"

The other three ghostly figures, the Great Emperor Luo Tian, ​​remained silent, focusing on seizing the spiritual vein. They quietly divided up the half-finished spiritual vein, clearly accepting the favor.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Jun merely chuckled lightly. His Heavenly Secrets Dharma Form suddenly contracted, and the bronze compass transformed into a stream of light that enveloped his figure.

He bowed slightly to the four emperors, then turned and flew towards the weak point in the Xuanhuang Realm's sky.

For Zheng Jun, too much of a good thing is bad.

Being able to eat 35% of it is already a pretty good result.

After all, what is here is only a wisp of divine soul, not the real body. Although it is concealed by the Heavenly Secrets Stealing Dharma Image, if other Nascent Soul cultivators from the Xuanhuang Realm come to stop it, its combat power will be greatly reduced, and it may not be able to defeat them.

It's hard to say, maybe not even 35%, no matter how much you eat, you'll have to throw it all up.

It would be better to return to the aid in time. Relying solely on the Dharma Image of the Lord of the World, one can only hold out at the border of Jambudvipa and cannot achieve a decisive victory.

After all, in the Yanfu Realm, the Azure Sky Longevity True Monarch, the Yellow Springs Tribulation Crossing True Monarch, and the Blood River Calamity Slaughter True Monarch also stole more than 30% of the earth's vein power. If they were to steal it, his own in-and-out...

Actually, it was a profit.

After all, these earth veins belong to the Heavenly Dao, while the spiritual veins stolen from the Xuanhuang Realm are one's own.

Zheng Jun could distinguish between what belonged to the public and what belonged to him personally.

However, his ambition was to become the Dao Lord of the Jambudvipa Realm, so he had to protect this ley line if possible.

"boom!"

The compass needle spun wildly, tearing a crack in the boundary wall.

In the chaotic currents of the Outer Heavens, Zheng Jun unleashed the full power of his Dharma Avatar, with purple-gold dragon patterns forming a barrier around his body. He looked down at his palm, where a ball of extremely refined azure light floated, the very essence formed from forty percent of the Xuan Tian Sect's spiritual veins.

"This harvest is enough to conceal my whereabouts, prevent the will of heaven and earth from suppressing me, and allow me to improve my cultivation and fuse my Dharma form through this spiritual vein origin."

Although the Dao Lord of the Jambudvipa realm needs the Dharma Image to be in harmony.

However, if a certain Dharma body devours a large amount of the world's origin, there is no need for such trouble. It can directly suppress the Heavenly Dao and subdue it.

This is one of the two ways Zheng Jun has seen his 'Lord of the World' Dharma form become the Lord of the Dao.

Firstly, it involves extensively condensing the Dharma image.

Judging from the two Dharma forms that Zheng Jun possesses.

The Dharma Image of the Lord of All Under Heaven resides in the center, suppressing everything. The Dharma Image of Stealing Heavenly Secrets is fundamentally unable to achieve a state of balance and harmony with the Dharma Image of the Lord of All Under Heaven. It is completely different from the Dharma Image of the Pure and Void Master of All Laws, which resides in the center and harmonizes with the unity of the Five Elements.

Therefore, Zheng Jun speculated.

The normal path to advancement for the Lord of the World Dharma Aspect is to overcome all obstacles with one's own strength, condense several or even a dozen Dharma Aspects, with the Lord of the World Dharma Aspect as the ruler and the other Dharma Aspects as subjects, in order to advance to the Dao Lord.

Another method is to continuously acquire the origins of other worlds to nourish and strengthen the supreme Dharma body. As long as the supreme Dharma body becomes dominant, it can use this to directly break the rules of this world and forcibly refine the will of Heaven.

The former is similar to a crown prince; once everything is in place, the old emperor has no way to depose him, and he eventually ascends the throne normally.

The latter involves a member of the royal family who fled to an enemy country, sought its protection, and with its help, fought his way back to his homeland and installed a new emperor...

This kind of thing was very common during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.

However, they are probably not very common in this world.

However, in any case, the path to becoming a Dao Lord is a good path, and Zheng Jun does not shy away from this fact. If following the rules and regulations does not work, then one can only be bolder.

Furthermore, Zheng Jun doesn't necessarily have to take the second path.

Zheng Jun planned to leave at the same time, choosing whichever would allow him to advance to the Dao Lord level.

Having obtained this source, one can actually conceal the secrets of heaven and reduce the suppression of the will of heaven upon oneself. This will make it easier to acquire other methods of condensing dharmas and to act in the Jambudvipa realm than before.

Zheng Jun's eyes were burning with determination. He was about to speed up his return to the Yanfu Realm when he suddenly felt the void behind him tremble.

He turned around abruptly, only to see a sword light piercing the sky and breaking through the chaos, erupting within the Xuanhuang Realm!

The sword light shone brightly like the sun, splitting the air currents along its path in two.

The sword strike was so powerful that Zheng Jun's Heavenly Secrets-Stealing Dharma Form trembled spontaneously as a warning.

"The number one expert in the Xuanhuang Realm, True Monarch Xuanqiong Yuxiao of the Taixu Sword Pavilion, has made a move?"

Zheng Jun was quite surprised.

This first person arrived quite quickly; luckily, I ran ahead of time.

Since that's the case, let's hand over the Nascent Soul pursuers from the Taixu Sword Pavilion to the Great Emperors of the Luo Tian Realm.

Just then, Zheng Jun suddenly paused, and the Heavenly Secrets Dharma Image abruptly contracted in the chaos. The illusory image of the bronze compass rippled outwards, gathering all his aura into the gaps in the star track.

Zheng Jun looked towards the direction of Luo Tian Realm. Three brilliant golden lights pierced through the eternal night, carrying with them a vast amount of human fortune and traversing the void. Wherever they passed, they cleansed away the filth and evil energy of the Outer Heaven!
"The Human Emperor of the Luo Tian Realm?"

Zheng Jun lightly tapped the compass with his fingertips, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"boom--!"

Three golden beams crashed straight into the barrier of the Xuanhuang Realm, tearing open a crack ten times more violently than the ghost cultivators.

Zheng Jun faintly heard the roars of the Xuanhuang Realm cultivators, followed by a deafening rumble. The three human emperors had clearly set their sights on the spiritual veins of the Taixu Sword Pavilion!
Taking advantage of the fact that the Taixu Sword Pavilion had mobilized all its forces, they also went after the Taixu Sword Pavilion and looted them.

It's clear that these emperors of the Luo Tian Realm are quite lacking in martial ethics.

However, they are very united.

They are much more united than the Dharma bodies in Jambudvipa.

Zheng Jun shook his head.

The Great Emperors and Nascent Soul cultivators of the Luo Tian Realm and Xuan Huang Realm are all keen on improving themselves in the Outer Heavens, while the Dharma Aspects of the Yan Fu Realm are much more conservative. In Zheng Jun's view, apart from a very few people, most of the rest will not explore the Outer Heavens.

In Zheng Jun's view, perhaps only the Western World Honored One and the Burning Heaven Great Sage of the Southern Demon Court would dare to explore.

The Western World-Honored One possesses three Dharma forms; how could the will of Heaven and Earth tolerate such behavior? Therefore, he must also possess some origin within him. As for the Burning Heaven Great Sage of the Southern Demon Court, she actually has a Nascent Soul title similar to that of the Xuanhuang Realm, and is also a holder of two Dharma forms. This is enough to make Zheng Jun suspect that she might explore the Outer Heavens.

Zheng Jun waited until the three Luo Tian Realm Emperors had completely entered the Xuanhuang Realm before setting off to leave.

After all, Zheng Jun also needs to be wary of these three guys.

This is also why Zheng Jun used the 'Stealing Heavenly Secrets' technique to shield his own senses.

If the three of them were to encounter him on the way, Zheng Jun had no doubt that they would attack him, divide up his 35% of spiritual veins, and then turn around and go home.

After all, for them, what difference does it make who they rob? Stealing the spiritual essence of Zheng Jun's wisp of divine soul would save them the trouble of fighting to the death with those Nascent Soul cultivators in the Xuanhuang Realm.

After waiting for a while, until the three streaks of light failed to be selected, Zheng Jun turned around, tore open the void, and crashed into the barrier of the Yanfu Realm wrapped in his spoils.

Meanwhile, the battle continues in the realm of Jambudvipa.

At the edge of the realm, Zheng Jun fought against three opponents, and the Lord of the World, Fa Xiang, was at a disadvantage.

The reason for falling into a disadvantageous position is also very simple.

Zheng Jun was multitasking and lacked the blessing of the 'Stealing Heavenly Secrets' Dharma Image, so it was naturally difficult for him to gain an overwhelming advantage.

Even so, with the Dharma form of "Lord of the World", he was able to hold back the three of them in a one-against-three situation, preventing the Azure Sky Longevity True Lord, the Yellow Springs Calamity Crossing True Lord, and the Blood River Calamity Slaughter True Lord from escaping.

On the border of Jambudvipa, the gale-force winds are like knives.

The battle between the three Nascent Soul True Monarchs and Zheng Jun had reached a fever pitch.

Neither side was willing to give in.

The three Nascent Soul True Monarchs also realized that there was a problem.

They sensed the presence of five other Dharma Images around them. These five Dharma Images from the Jambudvipa had arrived and were watching them intently, but had not yet made a move.

Although they didn't know why the five hadn't made a move, the other three were well aware that if they could really take away one-third of Qingzhou's land veins, the five of them would definitely swarm them.

After all, it's a ley line, or rather, a spiritual ley line.

As beings of a world, even if the ley lines have nothing to do with them, they must intervene to stop it when faced with such a situation.

Zheng Jun naturally noticed that the other Dharma forms in this realm had arrived, but they had not yet made a move.

"You want to test my strength with those three?"

Zheng Jun chuckled lightly, and the Nine Cauldrons descended to suppress him.

"Why must you press me so hard, fellow Daoist?!"

The Yellow Springs Crossing Calamity True Lord's hair and beard bristled, and the turbid waves gushing from the pot transformed into nine dragons, temporarily suppressing Zheng Jun's nine cauldron phantoms: "The earth veins have been returned to seventy percent; continuing to fight will only result in mutual destruction!"

Zheng Jun's Dharma Image of the Lord of the World swayed slightly, but a cold smile appeared on his lips.

Does that mean they'll return 70%? That means you didn't take anything at all!

He had just fought three opponents alone, and although he had not shown any signs of defeat, he was ultimately unable to stop the three from retreating while fighting.

At that moment, he suddenly looked up at the sky, his eyes shining with a brilliant purple-gold light: "A lose-lose situation? I don't think so."

Before the words were even finished, a dazzling crack suddenly appeared in the sky!
A bronze compass roared out from the chaos, and amidst the intersecting star trails on its surface, a divine soul bearing an identical appearance to Zheng Jun arrived, stepping on light.

The divine soul held a ball of condensed azure light tightly in its arms. The moment it appeared, the spiritual energy of the entire world boiled!
"This is……"

The pupils of the Azure Sky Immortal Lord shrank sharply. He vaguely felt that the blue light was somewhat familiar. His withered hand trembled violently as he suddenly realized something: "That is the Danxia Spirit Vein of my Xuantian Sect?!"

"bingo."

The soul entered Zheng Jun's body, and Zheng Jun felt refreshed and laughed uncontrollably.

Thirty-five percent of the Xuanhuang Realm's spiritual vein origin flowed like rivers into the sea, all converging into the Nine Cauldrons' illusory image.

The previously suppressed cauldron patterns suddenly surged, shattering the Blood River Chains and the Yellow Spring Flood Dragon!
"boom--!"

The suppression of the will of heaven and earth completely dissipated at this moment.

Zheng Jun's aura rose steadily, and unprecedented phenomena appeared behind him: the nine cauldrons on the left rotated like a galaxy, the compass on the right deduced the secrets of heaven, and the purple-gold imperial throne in the center was as solid as a real object!

As he took a step, a wondrous phenomenon appeared in the void: a golden lotus supporting his foot!

"Impossible! How could you..."

Blood River Calamity True Monarch was filled with shock and rage, and the sea of ​​blood was evaporated by the imperial aura, creating a sky full of red mist.

He suddenly realized something and turned sharply to look at the Immortal Lord of Immortality: "Fellow Daoist Huang, we've fallen into a trap!"

The Azure Sky Immortal Lord was so angry that his white beard trembled wildly, and he almost crushed his jade whisk. He stared intently at the azure light flowing around Zheng Jun's spiritual veins: "It's a diversionary tactic! This scoundrel deliberately lured us to the Yanfu Realm, but in reality, he sent a fragment of his soul to steal the spiritual veins of my Xuantian Sect..."

"You only just realized that now?"

Zheng Jun chuckled and slowly lifted the ball of blue light into his palm.

The auras of the five Dharma images around them were clearly shaken.

They never expected that Zheng Jun would be able to steal the origin of the Xuanhuang Realm!
No wonder they felt Zheng Jun's strength had declined; it turns out he had separated his divine soul and gone to the Xuanhuang Realm!

Even when Zheng Jun separated his divine soul and went to the Xuanhuang Realm, he was able to fight three opponents at once in his own realm.

For a moment, the five Dharma images of the Jambudvipa realm felt something was strange and began to gasp in shock.

"recapture……"

Huangquan Du'e Zhenjun roared, but before he could finish speaking, Zheng Jun said leisurely, "Put down the earth veins. I will let you leave. At least seven Great Emperors from Luotian Realm have entered Xuanhuang Realm to seize the spiritual veins. Although Taixu Sword Pavilion has already taken action, the three of you are not here, so the spiritual veins have suffered some losses, especially for Xuantian Sect."

"I only took 30% of the spiritual veins of the Xuantian Sect. There is still more than half left. If we don't go back soon, the spiritual veins may be completely drained."

Upon hearing Zheng Jun's words, the expressions of Biluo Changsheng Zhenjun, Huangquan Du'e Zhenjun, and Xuehe Lujie Zhenjun all changed drastically.

Especially Blood River Calamity True Monarch, as the Supreme Elder of the Blood River Sect, who also has a spiritual vein foundation within the sect, felt a surge of fear as he was not in charge of the sect at this moment.

If those ghosts from Luo Tian Realm were to take advantage of the situation and invade, the Blood River Sect's millennia of accumulated wealth would likely be destroyed in an instant!
"You cunning brat!"

Blood River Calamity True Monarch roared, and waves of blood surged beneath his feet, but he no longer had any fighting spirit.

He suddenly made a hand seal, forcing out all the unrefined essence of the Qingzhou earth vein from his sleeve, which turned into a beam of green light and was thrown towards Zheng Jun.

Seeing this, the True Lord of the Yellow Springs also gritted his teeth and slapped the Nine Netherworld Pot. The mouth of the pot was upside down, and the turbid Yellow Springs, carrying the power of the earth veins, poured out.

The Azure Sky Immortal was ashen-faced. With a sweep of his jade whisk, he forcibly severed the connection with the earth's veins, allowing the ball of spiritual light to return to the earth.

"go!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Huangquan Du'e Zhenjun and Xuehe Lujie Zhenjun transformed into two streaks of light and soared into the sky.

The Immortal Lord of the Azure Sky was furious and harbored hatred for Zheng Jun for a long time before transforming into a beam of light and leaving.

Zheng Jun, on the other hand, had no desire to pursue the three of them.

Zheng Jun was still hoping they would go back and restrain those great emperors of the Luo Tian Realm.

In the blink of an eye, the three figures disappeared into the chaos of the Outer Heavens, leaving only a venomous howl echoing at the edge of the Yama Realm: "Zheng Jun! The grudge of today will be repaid a hundredfold in the future!"

Zheng Jun stood with his hands behind his back, watching the three figures flee in a disheveled state, a cold smile playing on his lips. He flicked his sleeve, retracting all the earth vein essence that had been floating in the air.

As the illusory images of the Nine Cauldrons rotated, azure light fell like rain back onto the land of Qingzhou, and the cracked earth of Linzi City began to slowly heal.

"Your Majesty's divine might!"

The Venerable Wanfa, who had been watching from afar, finally appeared. His gray robe billowed as he spoke with a hint of probing: "I never imagined that Your Majesty would be able to seize the spiritual veins of the Xuanhuang Realm. I admire such methods."

The figure of Shennong Venerable also stepped out from the void, his hoe glowing with a ghostly light, and said with a half-smile: "But in this way, the Xuanhuang Realm and the Luotian Realm are likely to be engulfed in a bloody storm."

Zheng Jun glanced at the five Dharma images that appeared one after another, and said indifferently, "Since you have been watching the battle for so long, why don't you make your move sooner? Do you want to wait until I and those three traitors are both exhausted before you reap the benefits?"

The golden body of the Buddha of the Western Paradise trembled slightly, and he chanted a Buddhist prayer: "Amitabha. Your Majesty, you are fighting against three and still have the upper hand. How dare this old monk overstep your bounds?"

The Great Sage of Burning Heaven's crimson feathered robes fluttered in the gale, his phoenix eyes filled with murderous intent: "I would like to ask, now that Your Majesty has obtained the spiritual veins of the Xuanhuang Realm, would you be willing to share some of them? After all... such external origins are also beneficial to our comprehension of the Great Dao."

Zheng Jun laughed loudly upon hearing this, and the bronze compass in his hand suddenly unfolded, its intersecting star trails completely isolating his aura: "Why should I share with you what I obtained through my own abilities?"

Before the words were even finished, the purple-gold imperial aura enveloped his figure, propelling him into the sky, leaving behind only a cold declaration that resounded through the heavens: "If anyone is not convinced, they are welcome to come to the capital and challenge me!"

The five statues silently watched Zheng Jun leave.

After a long silence, Master Wanfa sighed softly, "This boy has already shown his potential... With the spiritual veins of the Xuanhuang Realm upon him, I'm afraid even the will of heaven and earth will find it difficult to suppress him in the future."

Shennong narrowed his eyes, his hoe lightly tracing the air: "How about we join forces?"

The Western World-Honored One shook his head and his golden body dissipated, leaving only a sigh that vanished with the wind: "Entangled in karma, only increasing karmic burdens..."

After the Western World Honored One departed, Venerable Shennong exchanged glances, then looked at the other three and tentatively said, "The Xuanhuang Realm has undergone a great change. Fellow Daoists, should we also go and join the fun and see if we can pick up some bargains?"

They knew everything that happened along the way.

The emperors of Luo Tian Realm surged toward Xuanhuang Realm like wild dogs hunting for food, almost as if they had all come out in force, which naturally tempted some of them.

Of course, their intention was merely to go to the Luo Tian Realm to beg for alms, not the Xuanhuang Realm.

After all, the Xuanhuang Realm now has more than twenty Dharma Aspect level combatants... including the Great Emperor of the Luotian Realm and the True Monarch of the Xuanhuang Realm. If they were to go, it would be a chaotic battle between the three realms.

"What are you going there for?"

The Great Sage Burning Heaven, clad in a phoenix robe, snorted coldly and said, "In the Xuanhuang Realm, some clever Nascent Soul True Monarchs have already adopted the strategy of 'besieging Wei to rescue Zhao,' going to the Luotian Realm to plunder the Origin. The two sides are now fighting each other!"

"In this battle, some Dharma Aspects will inevitably perish. Let's wait and see."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded slightly.

Meanwhile, in the city of Linzi, during the Han Dynasty...

Zheng Jun looked at Zheng Feng, who was disheveled and looked haggard, and couldn't help but sneer.

"Fourth Prince, do you want to be emperor?" (End of Chapter)
