Chapter 66 Overseas Lands (Combined Chapter)

"This war between the Lich King and the Demon King has left me with many feelings. Therefore, I bid farewell to all of you fellow Daoists and will return to Kunlun Mountain to cultivate in seclusion until I can preach again at Zixiao Palace." Daoist Taiqing bowed to the group of cultivators, his tone filled with emotion.

The Jade Purity Daoist and the Upper Purity Daoist nodded in silence.

The Three Pure Ones have always considered themselves the true descendants of Pangu and looked down on the twelve ancestral witches of the Wu tribe.

However, in the battle between the Wu and Yao tribes just now, the twelve ancestral witches of the Wu tribe unleashed the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation, which actually condensed the true body of Pangu and the Capital Heavenly God Thunder. This clearly showed the inheritance of the great god Pangu, which stimulated the Three Pure Ones, so they decided to go back to seclusion and cultivate diligently.

Seeing that the Three Pure Ones intended to return to their secluded cultivation, Zhen Yuanzi bowed to them and said, "Fellow Daoists, we will meet again in Zixiao Palace."

"Farewell!" The Three Pure Ones said goodbye and rode on a cloud towards the southwest.

Seeing the Three Pure Ones depart on a cloud, the other cultivators agreed to meet again at Zixiao Palace and then each rode their own cloud back to their dojos for secluded cultivation.

"Master Hongjun has ordered you two to restrain the cultivators. What are your plans?" Seeing that the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother had not yet left, Zhen Yuanzi's heart stirred and he couldn't help but ask.

"I plan to return to Xikunlun for a period of seclusion, and then make further plans." The Queen Mother of the West said calmly, showing no intention of managing the group of ancient female immortals.

Although the Dao Ancestor Hongjun ordered the Queen Mother of the West to take charge of the female immortals in the primordial world and restrain all female cultivators.

However, female immortals in the primordial world have always been rare. If we don't count the witch and demon races and other living beings, they can be said to be few and far between.

Even among the fellow cultivators in Zixiao Palace, there were very few female innate gods and demons.

Nuwa was one of the great saints of the demon race, and Xihe was the celestial empress of the demon race's heavenly court; neither of them were considered to be from the lineage of cultivators.

Therefore, the Queen Mother of the West naturally didn't need to rush; she could simply let things take their natural course.

In contrast, the Eastern King Duke was different.

There are countless male immortals in the primordial world, and many of them possess great supernatural powers.

"To be honest, fellow Daoist, I plan to establish a Daoist temple overseas." Dongwanggong had already considered this, and naturally, he had to obey the decree of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

However, cultivators are always carefree and unrestrained; how could they be so easily restrained!

Not to mention, among them are many highly skilled and powerful individuals, whom even the Eastern King Duke would address as "fellow Daoist."

Besides, there are still the witch and demon races in the primordial world, how can they sit idly by and watch me take control of the male immortals in the primordial world!

On the contrary, the overseas lands, apart from the Four Seas Dragon Clan, are rarely visited by powerful cultivators. This is the perfect place to follow the decree of the Dao Ancestor Hongjun and restrain the overseas cultivators.

In this way, one can both obey the decree of Hongjun Daozu and avoid conflicts with the Wu and Yao clans and other powerful beings.

Even if something unexpected happens in the future, it can protect the disciples of the Chunyang Cave in Qingyuan Mountain.

"Overseas places are not a good place to go." Zhen Yuanzi agreed with the Eastern King's plan.

At this moment, Dongwanggong invited Zhenyuanzi, saying, "Fellow Daoist, why don't you join me on a trip overseas? You'll have a chance to witness the prosperity of the overseas cultivation world."

Upon hearing the invitation from the Eastern King Duke, Zhen Yuanzi's heart stirred, and he suddenly thought of the Three Immortal Islands overseas.

Could it be that the three immortal islands of Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou are about to be born?

These three immortal islands, Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou, are future sacred sites for overseas cultivation, connected to the fortunes of overseas lands.

This great war between the Witch and Demon races has led to the increasing prosperity of overseas lands, which is why the three immortal islands of Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou have emerged as the foundation for the independent cultivators overseas.

Zhen Yuanzi immediately agreed and rode the clouds with the Eastern King to the overseas lands, while the Western Queen Mother rode the clouds back to Xikunlun.

In an instant, the entire Buzhou Mountain area fell into complete tranquility.

Meanwhile, back in the Heavenly Court, Emperor Jun gradually regained consciousness. Ignoring his injuries, he immediately summoned a group of demon saints and demon gods to inquire about the casualties of the army.

"Why didn't the Azure Lion Demon God come?" Looking at the group of demon saints and demon gods who had come, Di Jun frowned. It seemed that many demon saints and demon gods had not come.

Upon hearing Di Jun's question, the expressions of the demon saints and demon gods changed, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

"Brother, the Azure Lion Demon God and many other Demon Saints and Demon Gods have perished in the Witch Clan's army," Taiyi said after a long silence.

Many severely injured demon saints and demon gods, knowing they had no hope of resisting the Heavenly Thunder, rushed into the witch army and self-destructed, dragging the witch clan members down with them. Some demon saints and demon gods, on the other hand, perished at the hands of the witch clan's great witches.

"The Witch Clan!" Di Jun roared, spitting out a mouthful of golden blood, his injuries worsening by another three points.

Taiyi quickly stepped forward to support Dijun and comforted him, saying, "Brother, there's no need to be sad. Let's rest and recover from our injuries first. After ten thousand years, we'll settle our score with the Wu Clan and avenge all the demon saints and demon gods."

Hearing Taiyi's words, Dijun's expression grew even more gloomy. He asked, "If we were to fight the Wu Clan again, would our Zhou Tian Star Formation be able to withstand the Wu Clan's Pangu True Body and the Du Tian Divine Thunder?"

Upon hearing this, Taiyi's expression darkened. If the Zhou Tian Star Formation could withstand Pangu's true form and the Du Tian Divine Thunder, how could the demon race have been defeated!

In fact, if Taiyi hadn't used the innate treasure Donghuang Zhong to shield Dijun, even with the innate spiritual treasure Luoshu Hetu protecting him, Dijun would probably have perished long ago under the divine thunder of Pangu's true form.

One can only imagine the divine power of Pangu's true form and the Heavenly Thunder!

When Di Jun saw that Taiyi and the other demon saints and gods were all silent, and that almost all of them were seriously injured and their divine light was dim, he couldn't help but feel sad.

Previously, the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race was incredibly powerful, with three great supernatural beings—himself, Taiyi, and Xihe—presiding over it, and a host of demon saints and demon gods below. It could even set up the Zhou Tian Star Array, which shook the prehistoric world.

Even the myriad races of the primordial era, what can they do!

Ultimately, they were all incorporated into the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race.

Even among the great cultivators of the same lineage, who would dare to underestimate the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race!

However, in this battle with the Witch Clan, the Demon Clan Heavenly Court not only suffered countless casualties, but also lost many Demon Saints and Demon Gods, greatly diminishing its strength.

"Even the Zhou Tian Star Array formed by our billions of demons could not withstand Pangu's true form and the Heavenly Thunder. From now on, how can we possibly compete with the Witch Clan!"

After a long silence, Di Jun asked, "All you demon saints and demon gods, do you have a way to break the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation of the Witch Clan?"

Upon hearing Di Jun's question, all the demon saints and demon gods remained silent.

Although Hongjun Daozu easily broke the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation, it was extremely difficult for the demon race and even for the great supernatural beings of the prehistoric world.

Not to mention breaking it, its mysteries are not even discernible.

"Your Majesty, why not invite the Great Sage Fuxi to come?"

At this moment, the Demon Saint Bai Ze stepped forward and said, "The Great Sage Fuxi attained enlightenment through formations; perhaps he can devise a way to break the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation of the Witch Clan."

Whether it's breaking the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation of the Wu Clan or further perfecting the Zhou Tian Star Formation, Fuxi's assistance is needed.

Upon hearing this, Taiyi revealed a chill and said coldly, "Since Fuxi is a great sage of the demon race, it is time for him to do his part."

In this great war between the Wu and Yao races, Nuwa, Fuxi, and the Yao race of Fengqi Mountain did not participate, and Kunpeng of the North Sea even sat idly by.

This caused Di Jun, Tai Yi, and a group of demon saints and demon gods to be very dissatisfied with Nuwa, Fuxi, and Kunpeng, and even had many complaints.

With the help of Nuwa, Fuxi, and Kunpeng, the demon race's heavenly court might not have suffered such heavy losses.

"That's fine then." Di Jun said to Bai Ze, "I would like to request that the Demon Saint Bai Ze make an appointment!"

"I will obey Your Majesty's decree!" Bai Ze bowed and said.

Bai Ze then walked out of the Lingxiao Palace, entered the prehistoric world through the South Heavenly Gate, and headed towards Phoenix Perch Mountain.

Seeing Bai Ze leave, the Demon Saint Ji Meng hesitated for a moment before saying, "Besides the Witch Clan, we must also be wary of the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother!"

"There's no need to elaborate on this matter, after all, the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother are acting on the decree of the Dao Ancestor." Di Jun's expression darkened further, a hint of murderous intent rising in his heart.

The Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother, one in charge of the male immortals of the primordial world and the other in charge of the female immortals, can restrain the cultivator lineage. Even Emperor Jun, Taiyi, and Xihe are under the control of the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother.

Although Di Jun and Tai Yi cultivate the Primordial Spirit Dharma Form, not the Primordial Spirit Three Flowers, and therefore cannot be considered part of the cultivator lineage, Xi He is the Heavenly Queen of the Demon Clan, and also cannot be considered part of the cultivator lineage. Therefore, we can disregard the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

But who would dare to easily disobey the decree of the Dao Ancestor Hongjun!

Even the twelve ancestral witches of the witch clan had to obey the decree of the Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Compared to the gloomy and desolate state of the demon race, the witch race also suffered many casualties.

But the Wu tribe was extremely excited.

In this battle, Di Jun was seriously injured, the Demon Clan's Zhou Tian Xing Chen Grand Array was broken, and a group of Demon Saints and Demon Gods suffered heavy casualties, almost severely damaging the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court. The Witch Clan can be said to have won a great victory.

Moreover, for the next ten thousand years, the Wu tribe will dominate the primordial land.

As for the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother!

The Wu clan desperately wanted the two to restrain the cultivators and prevent them from being recruited by the demon clan's Heavenly Court; they even hoped that the two would create conflict between them.

Regardless, this single battle has resulted in heavy losses for both the Lich and Demon races, who will need time to recover.

However, the cultivator lineage gradually flourished in the prehistoric world.

Many cultivators who were forced to flee overseas by the Lich and Demon races began to return to the primordial land.

Along their journey, Zhen Yuanzi and Dong Wanggong encountered many cultivators who had returned from the outer seas to the primordial wilderness.

However, many cultivators did not return to the prehistoric world, but instead planned to settle overseas.

Above the East China Sea, two auspicious clouds drifted by. One of the clouds was black and white, with occasional flashes of multicolored light, making it look quite mysterious.

The other golden auspicious cloud, however, had no other color whatsoever; it was extremely pure and exuded a trace of pure yang energy.

Not to mention the East China Sea, such auspicious clouds are extremely rare even on the vast and desolate land.

Zhen Yuanzi and Dong Wanggong sat on auspicious clouds, chatting about their experiences in the prehistoric world and enjoying spiritual fruits and delicacies, appearing very relaxed and content.

Suddenly, a voice came from the sea, extremely vulgar and arrogant.

"Where did this hermit come from!"

"How dare you trespass into the waters of the East Sea Dragon Palace! Leave immediately!"

"That's quite interesting." Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi smiled slightly and said to Dong Wanggong, "Fellow Daoist, why don't you descend some auspicious clouds and take a look?"

"That's fine then." Dongwanggong nodded, and he and Zhenyuanzi descended on auspicious clouds.

In the sea, there was a strange beast with a head like a camel, antlers like a deer, eyes like a rabbit, ears like a cow, neck like a snake, scales like a carp, claws like an eagle, paws like a tiger, and eighty-one scales on its back. Its body was over a hundred feet long.

At this moment, the strange beast poked its head out, staring at Zhen Yuanzi and Dong Wanggong with its eyes wide open, looking quite imposing.

Zhen Yuanzi glanced at it and couldn't help but laugh, saying, "I wondered what kind of cultivator you were, but it turns out you're just a little dragon."

"I didn't expect the East Sea Dragon Clan to be so prosperous." Dong Wanggong was slightly surprised.

Since the ancient war between the three races of dragon, phoenix, and qilin, the dragon race retreated to the four seas and transformed into the four seas dragon race.

This makes it extremely difficult to find dragons on the vast land of the ancient world. Even when they are encountered, they are mostly jiaolong (蛟龙) or similar creatures, not the orthodox dragon race.

However, as soon as the two arrived in the East Sea, they encountered a pure dragon.

This demonstrates the prosperity of the East Sea Dragon Clan.

Seeing that Zhen Yuanzi and Dong Wanggong not only showed no intention of leaving, but instead began to talk.

Ao Li glared with his enormous eyes, his heart filled with rage. He roared again, "You cultivators, leave at once, or don't blame this dragon for being ruthless!"

"Haha, you little dragon have arrived at just the right time. This humble Taoist was just looking to learn about the situation in the overseas cultivation world." As he spoke, Dong Wanggong waved his hand and sent out a beam of light that entered the dragon's body.

The next moment, Ao Li felt his primordial spirit tighten, a chill ran through his heart, and his expression changed drastically.

At this moment, he knew that he had encountered no ordinary cultivator.

Ao Li immediately lost his previous arrogant and domineering demeanor, and his tone became extremely respectful as he said, "This humble dragon was blind and did not recognize the great supernatural powers of the two Daoist masters. I have offended you greatly just now, and I beg you Daoist masters to show mercy and not hold it against me!"

"You little dragon are quite sensible," Zhen Yuanzi said with a smile. "However, you just said this place is the East Sea Dragon Palace area?"

"Although this is our first time visiting the East Sea, we do know that the Dragon Palace of the East Sea is located deep within the East Sea."

Upon hearing this, Dongwanggong's heart stirred, and he said to Ao Li, "It seems that this little dragon of yours is not very honest. Very well, today I will let you suffer a bit." As he spoke, Dongwanggong seemed to be about to form a Daoist hand seal.

"Wait a moment, Daoist!" Ao Li said bitterly, "You two Daoists are unaware of what has happened. Some time ago, three immortal islands were about to emerge in the East Sea, which attracted many cultivators and made the East Sea a mess."

"In order to prevent the news from spreading and attracting great supernatural beings from the prehistoric world to cause trouble, my East Sea Dragon Palace ordered all its members to seal off the sea area and drive away foreign cultivators."

Some time ago, the East China Sea was suddenly filled with celestial light and spiritual energy, and three celestial islands appeared out of thin air on the sea: Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingtai.

These are the three fairy islands overseas.
