The comet remained silent, only relentlessly unleashing heavenly tribulations.

"How far has the struggle between the Dao and the Demonic Sect progressed?" Song Yi asked.

The Yin-Yang Old Demon dared not conceal the truth and reported, "Over the past few hundred years, our demonic sect has occupied most of the territory of Southern Dragon. Demonic sects are scattered throughout Yunling, Miaoling, and Nanling, educating the southern barbarian Miao people. Now, the Southern Dragon lineage only has the strategically important 'Dragon Tail' Wuyi Mountain left to conquer. For the past ten years or so, the Xuanmen and my Holy Sect have been constantly fighting in Wuyi Mountain. I originally forged this Yin-Yang Sword to go to Wuyi Mountain to lend my assistance..."

"Wuyishan..."

After pondering for a moment, Song Yi decided to go and find out what was going on.

Since the leaders of various sects are also among them, they might take the opportunity to request some outer disciples to serve as immortal servants.

A few days later, Song Yi went to West Lake to look for Yang Ren's descendants.

The Earth God also sent back some children, all of whom were orphans and had lost both parents.

Song Yi then summoned a fairy maiden to look after him, intending to take him to the Heavenly Court in the future.

Then, he said to Dong Shuangcheng:

"The struggle between the Dao and the Demonic is fierce, and the Southern Continent has become a place of conflict. Fellow Daoist, you are outnumbered and vulnerable, and may suffer collateral damage. Why not come with me to the Heavenly Court and be registered in the register of immortals? Although the Heavenly rules are strict and you will be somewhat restricted, the advantage is that you will be free from tribulations and enjoy longevity. What do you think, Fellow Daoist?"

Dong Shuangcheng pondered for a moment, then bowed and said:

"In that case, I'll have to trouble you, Star Lord."

"good."

Song Yi nodded, and then they boarded the carriage together. Auspicious clouds led the way, and they slowly flew towards Wuyi Mountain.

In the past, the great god Pangu created the world, but he was exhausted and died. His internal organs transformed into the primordial mountains and rivers.

Its core belongs to fire, and a small portion of it sank to the deepest part of the South Pole, transforming into the eternally molten sea at the Earth's core.

The raging fire and the lingering righteous energy in Pangu's chest converged and, after countless millions of years, gave birth to the supreme structure of the Southern Dragon Vein.

At the head of the Southern Dragon is the Jiuyi Mountain, where Emperor Shun died during his southern tour. His two consorts, Ehuang and Nüying, wept blood on the spotted bamboo, which transformed into the surging Xiang River.

The Dragon's Backbone is the Nanling Mountain Range, which stretches for hundreds of millions of miles and spans the heavens and the earth.

As Song Yi traveled along, looking down through the clouds, he saw that among the mountains and rivers, demonic sects stood in rows, their malevolent aura rising and obscuring the sun.

In particular, the Miao and barbarian tribes who live in seclusion in the Nanling Mountains often have demonic immortals walking among them, teaching them various Asura supernatural powers and unorthodox evil arts.

The Miao people are said to have originated from the intermarriage between the descendants of Chi You and the Jiuli people and the human race.

Although not of the orthodox lineage, they are still of the human race and are nourished and protected by the Southern Dragon Vein.

"Although it's a side sect, it's quite extraordinary." Song Yi nodded slightly.

The brutality and cruelty of the Demonic Cult are largely relative to the Daoist sect.

Many evil lords use the primordial spirits and physical bodies of Taoist immortals to refine magical artifacts and cultivate magic, employing cruel methods.

However, since the time of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, humanity has flourished, and those who, like the Yin-Yang Old Demon, use mortals to refine magical treasures are ultimately a very small number of fools.

In the eyes of these Miao and barbarian tribes, the Ten Thousand Mountains were a desolate and treacherous place, teeming with ferocious beasts and poisonous insects, where human life was as worthless as grass.

Those so-called "demonic immortals" who descended upon the tribes and taught them unorthodox methods of self-preservation were no different from saviors of the world.

As a result, temples dedicated to the Blood Sea Demon God sprang up one after another, and their incense offerings flourished.

The demonic cultivators also used this opportunity to gather the fortune of the human world and rival the Taoist sects.

The distinction between good and evil is quite blurred in this vast Southern Dragon Ancestral Vein.

The carriage sped along for several days before finally arriving at the tail of the southern dragon, the Wuyi Mountains.

Before they even got close, they saw the sky and earth change color and spiritual energy surge wildly.

Various dazzling precious lights intertwined and collided with pitch-black demonic flames, clearly indicating a great battle between the Dao and the Demon.

In the center of the battlefield, the Demonic Sect had the advantage in numbers. Countless Xuan Yin Demon Banners fluttered wildly in the wind, and thousands of demon gods bared their fangs and claws, letting out fierce roars.

On the other hand, the Xuanmen side, though outnumbered, formed an array and held on tenaciously with the help of several incredibly powerful ancient magical treasures.

The Heavenly Court was ultimately established by the three sages of Taoism, and even the Jade Emperor must be subject to the control of the edicts of Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun.

Although Song Yi was not from the Taoist sect, since he was appointed as a righteous god of the Heavenly Court by the two saints, he should naturally regard himself as a protector of the Taoist sect and should not sit idly by while the demonic sect runs rampant.

He stepped out of the carriage, formed hand seals, and drew golden talismans in the air, shouting:

"Nine Heavens Responding to the Origin of Thunder, Universal Transformation Heavenly Venerable, heed my command! Assist the Daoist sect in vanquishing evil spirits! So be it!"

The moment those words were spoken, the world changed drastically.

High in the sky, thunderclouds rolled and thunder roared.

Countless bolts of purple lightning tore through the void, crashing down with a devastating force, like a cascading galaxy.

The once clear sky was instantly swallowed up by leaden-gray storm clouds, within which countless silver snakes danced wildly, emitting deafening roars.

The next moment, dozens of huge lightning pillars crashed down like divine punishment, their momentum so great that it was as if Pangu had been reborn, recreating the earth, water, fire, and wind!

"what!"

Those demonic cultivators with slightly lower cultivation levels didn't even have time to scream before they were exploded into a cloud of blood mist in the extremely yang and powerful lightning, their bodies and souls completely destroyed.

Even those powerful demons could only summon their demonic treasures, such as the White Bone Banner and the Blood Fiend Pearl, with expressions of horror, struggling to withstand the overwhelming thunderous power.

In an instant, the demonic sect suffered heavy casualties, and cries of agony filled the air.

Seeing this opportune moment, the immortals of the Xuanmen sect were greatly encouraged. They unleashed their swords and magical treasures, launching a counterattack.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the demonic cultivators turned into black smoke and blood-red light and fled in panic, disappearing into the sky in an instant.

As the battle came to an end, several beams of clear light shot into the sky and landed in front of Song Yi.

"Thank you for your help, Star Lord!"

Several dignified sect leaders recognized the celestial robes on Song Yi that shone with starlight and knew that a star lord from the upper realm had descended to earth. They quickly stepped forward and bowed deeply in greeting.

"Fellow Daoists, you flatter me. I am the Heavenly Broom Star Lord." Song Yi smiled slightly and returned the greeting with a cupped hand. "This time, I was able to repel the demon, which was truly thanks to the supreme divine power of the Heavenly Venerable of Universal Transformation of Thunder in the Nine Heavens, who was able to summon heavenly thunder to severely injure the demon."

He had just used the Taoist technique of summoning gods to send his divine thoughts to the Jade Purity Palace of the Divine Firmament, directly reporting to Thunder Ancestor Wen Zhong.

Wen Zhong was a third-generation disciple of the Jie Sect, a true member of the Xuanmen lineage. The conflict between the Dao and the Demon in the lower realm concerned the fate of the entire Daoist sect, and this matter was of utmost importance. He immediately unleashed boundless thunder, severely injuring the demonic sect members.

"So it really was the Star Lord in person!"

"It seems that the Great Celestial Venerable and the Heavenly Court have not forgotten us, the disciples of the Daoist sects in the lower realms!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions became even more respectful.

The leaders of major sects in the south, such as the Shushan Sword Sect, Zixia Sect, Tianzhen Dao, and Xuanming Dao, stepped forward to announce their sect names, and Song Yi calmly greeted them one by one.

"What brings you, Star Lord, to the mortal realm?"

After exchanging pleasantries, Qingwei Daoist, the leader of the Shushan Sword Sect, asked a question.

The Shushan Sword Sect was founded during the Yin and Shang Dynasties, and its founder was the White-Browed Taoist.

The White-Browed Taoist was born into the Human Sect and was a disciple of the Supreme Sage. He often listened to the Sage preach in the Great Crimson Heaven. His Taiqing Sword Dao had been personally praised by the Sage, and his cultivation was unfathomable.

Although the Shushan Sect has only existed for a few thousand years, it has produced many sword immortals and has a profound cultural heritage.

Since the Investiture of the Gods, the Jie and Chan sects have suffered heavy losses, and the Shu Mountain lineage has shown signs of becoming the leader of the righteous path in the Southern Continent.

Song Yi stopped exchanging pleasantries, took out the divine decree transmitted by Venus, and stated clearly that the Heavenly Court was conscripting celestial servants.
