Shulong Daojun

The land was torn apart, and the earth's veins were shattered, which was in accordance with the principle of the end of the heavenly order.

The Demonic Sect facilitated this change and thus received the rewards of Heaven's will.

The light of the Dao descended, scattering like rain, and fell upon the members of the Demonic Sect, who were rewarded according to their merits.

Cang Hun was one of the greatest contributors to this change, and naturally received a generous reward that others could not match.

As a wisp of profound Dao light descended upon him, words suddenly condensed within his mind—

"The collapse of a continent foreshadows its end; in accordance with the circumstances, one is granted one hundred and forty merits."

Upon a brief perception, Cang Hun felt that the demonic Dao fruit he had attained had solidified by half, and he was overjoyed.

Those who wish to attain the status of an Earth Immortal must establish three hundred meritorious deeds.

Those who wish to attain the status of a celestial immortal must perform twelve hundred merits.

This success was not solely his doing; he acted in accordance with the prevailing circumstances and also with the help of his fellow members of the Demonic Sect.

The fact that he achieved 140 accomplishments far exceeded his expectations.

With the hundreds of merits accumulated previously, attaining the rank of Celestial Immortal is also within reach.

Moreover, the greatest gain this time was not in themselves, but in the fact that the Demonic Sect finally had a chance to rise to prominence.

Since the continent has already been divided into four regions, and we're going to occupy two of them for fun, surely no one will complain?

Thinking of this, Cang Hun felt completely relaxed. He put his hands behind his back and gently stepped forward, disappearing from the heart of the earth's veins towards the southern outskirts of Qingwu City.

He suddenly remembered something: the Taoist priest and that young Taoist friend were still alive.

If that's not right, then let's just deal with it and destroy both body and soul.

Upon arriving, they saw that Yi Xuan and the others had broken the formation, stabilized the injuries on Bao Yi Dao Ren, and protected him and Lin Shu behind them.

Beside him stood Li Ye and a group of other demonic immortals, all smiling obsequiously.

Cang Hun narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a thought, he stepped forward with a smile and said, "Oh? Isn't this Brother Yi Dao?"

The current state of affairs in this continent is entirely due to Brother Yi Dao's strategy. I, Cang, deeply admire it and wish I could immediately drink and chat with you.

After saying this, he sighed softly, a look of regret on his face.

His expression immediately turned serious, and he abruptly asked, "The common people are suffering terribly right now. As the leader of a sect of Taoism, Brother Yi, instead of going to relieve their suffering, how come you have the leisure to come here?"

Yi Xuan did not answer, but merely raised his eyelids slightly and said calmly, "Since there are evil spirits here, I have naturally come to subdue them."

Having said that, he took a step forward, exuding an imposing aura without anger, and a wisp of True Person power emanated from him, as if he intended to launch a fierce attack.

Cang Hun sensed this energy and his expression changed slightly.

A continent, though vast, is stagnant; its veins, stagnant over time, are prone to disasters that bring calamity to its inhabitants.

It was divided into four regions, the earth's veins were re-divided, and the mountains and rivers were reconstructed, allowing all things to evolve in their respective regions and each to find its own destiny.

Living beings can more easily reproduce and thrive, which is in line with the principles of creation and opening up by the heavens.

Therefore, Yi Xuan also received the rewards of Heaven's grace.

Moreover, as the greatest contributor to this change, his achievements must far surpass those of himself.

Unexpectedly, his energy was already on par with his own.

Cang Hun pondered for a moment, then with a flick of his sleeve, he gathered Li Ye and the others to his side, and said with a meaningful smile:

"After our battle that day, I said that I was slightly better than you by half a move, which is true."

Even today, I remain confident.

However, since Brother Yi has done a favor for the Demonic Sect, I will give him face.

Mountains may be high and rivers may be long, but we'll meet again someday.

After speaking, he slowed his pace, glanced down, signaling Li Ye and the others to follow, and slowly walked away.

After his figure disappeared, Yi Xuan looked back at the weak-looking Taoist priest, his expression darkening. He then bent down, intending to investigate him thoroughly.

When a True Person's status is damaged, their connection with Heaven and Earth is affected.

In mild cases, one's cultivation level is damaged and one's immortal rank drops; in severe cases, one's Dao embryo collapses, and one becomes a mortal, making it difficult to cultivate again.

Among all the Earth Immortals present, only he had attained the True Person status and was able to ascertain the extent of the injuries sustained by the Daoist Bao Yi.

Just as Yi Xuan reached out and was about to touch it, a hand slapped it down, and a cold voice followed:

"You are of the same generation as my master, and my master respects you as senior brother. According to human ethics, I should call you junior uncle."

But today I must ask you, Yi Xuan, are you worthy of the title "human being"?

Lin Shu suddenly realized what was happening and angrily shouted, "Even beasts know not to harm their own kind, yet you have harmed your own kind, causing my master to suffer a great calamity. You are truly worse than a beast."

How can you face my master? And what right do you have to call me your senior uncle?

"You shameless and immoral wretch, get out of here—!"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Shu had already raised his hand, divine light appearing at his fingertips, intending to strike Yi Xuan's face without mercy.

Even a common man, in a fit of rage, might be willing to spill blood within five steps, and might even order the world to mourn in white.

A teacher is like a father.

That's how he viewed the Taoist priest.

However, just as Lin Shu raised his hand, Shou Zheng pressed it down, shielding Lin Shu behind him.

"Senior Brother Yi Xuan, my nephew was only acting out of anger. You..."

Before Shouzheng could finish speaking, Yi Xuan raised his hand to stop him, nodded slightly, and smiled:

"How can an elder argue with a junior? Isn't that just ridiculous?"

"Please step aside. My junior brother is covered in injuries, and only I, who have also attained the True Person realm, can diagnose and heal him."

After speaking, Yi Xuan paused slightly, looked around at everyone, gave a slight bow, and continued:

"Fellow disciples, while the division of a continent may be a good thing in the long run, it brings great suffering to the people in the present."

Therefore, I urge you all to hurry and save the common people.

On behalf of the people, I, Yi, would like to express my gratitude to you all.

Upon hearing this, Shouzheng and the others turned their gazes to Yi Xuan's bowing figure, their feelings were extremely complicated, and they sighed inwardly.

The fruits we reap today are the result of the seeds we sow in the future.

If Yi Xuan and Cang Hun hadn't joined forces...

Enough is enough. It's too late to change anything now. Saving the people is the most important thing.

After careful consideration, each of them summoned clouds, intending to ride them to the territory under the jurisdiction of their respective lineages.

Yi Xuan then lowered his hands in a gesture of respect and came to the side of the Taoist priest.

After a moment's thought, he rolled up his sleeve and put it into his sleeve. Then, he casually summoned a cloud, which landed at his feet and slowly rose upwards.

Lin Shu's eyes widened in fury as he gritted his teeth and swallowed the bloody slurp, but his body was still held down by Shou Zheng, unable to move.

Above the clouds, Xuanzheng witnessed this scene, drew his sword, and with a clear, resounding clang, he said disdainfully:

"Yi Xuan, from this day forward, my Tai Chu lineage will not recognize you as the leader of the orthodox lineage."

Those who associate with wolves and jackals have neither the qualifications nor the character.

Yi Xuan didn't take it to heart, and smiled faintly: "After all, you're just a newly promoted Earth Immortal, your temperament isn't quite there yet. How can you alone represent the Taichu lineage?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the land south of the city and outside the city suddenly surged and cracked open.

The next instant, eight or nine figures emerged from the crowd, chatting and laughing. They were dressed in five-meridian Daoist robes, and their auras were clearly those of Earth Immortals.

The earth immortal, dressed in the same Daoist robe as Xuanzheng, had just seen Yi Xuan when he hurriedly approached and cupped his hands in greeting:

"A newly promoted Earth Immortal from a branch of the Primordial lineage pays respects to the Sect Leader and is willing to obey the Sect Leader's orders."

The remaining people also stepped forward and said in unison, "We are willing to obey the sect leader's orders."

Yi Xuan nodded and laughed heartily, "Excellent! They are all newly promoted Earth Immortals. Our Daoist lineage is flourishing!"

After laughing, his sleeves fluttered, and full of vigor, he rode the clouds and flew away.

He left behind only a faint remark: "The matter is settled; Taoist disciples will naturally seek justice for me."
