Chapter 111: The Holy Sect That Provokes Hatred

Jiangdong, Jiangxi, Jiangbei.

Three Jin Dan True Persons simultaneously upheld their Dharma bodies, stabilized the earth veins, and plucked stars with a single hand; such a vast spectacle left Lu Yang unable to regain his composure for a long time.

"This is the War for the Dao."

"However, the scale of this War for the Dao is not large; only Qi Refining disciples need to act. In a true great battle, True Persons must also descend personally."

"Moreover, you are fortunate; the mad sword-wielders from Jiangnan have not come."

Beside him, Master Chongguang sighed deeply, then explained: "This star is actually a Realm Heaven drifting beyond the heavens."

"At regular intervals, a Realm Heaven approaches from beyond the heavens. At that time, various True Persons will act to capture the Realm Heaven that would otherwise only brush past us, refine it, then initiate the War for the Dao, after which we are responsible for entering it to seize this Realm Heaven for the True Persons."

"Whoever wins, the Realm Heaven belongs to them."

"The True Person of the winning side can also use the 'Realm Heaven' as a peg, driving it into the territory of any losing side, thereby expanding the influence of their own fruit position."

"The Realm Heaven will thus transform into a wonder."

Speaking to this point, Master Chongguang thought of something else and smiled:

"For example, the Ten Thousand People Pit in Jiangnan was won by Yinshan in the past; it was originally a Realm Heaven, and the Great Witches within it had some methods."

"Pity those Great Witches were stubborn and unyielding. After Yinshan won, the True Person was too lazy to waste time, so they directly buried them all alive, then drove the Realm Heaven into the Jiangnan territory, resulting in that Ten Thousand People Pit, which is now the forward base where our Holy Sect and the Sword Pavilion face off."

Lu Yang listened, his mind swept away with longing.

Since Master Chongguang had spoken to this extent, how could he not understand? The so-called Realm Heaven was clearly a small world similar to a Law-Refining Secret Realm!

"I thought only the Dao Lord possessed such great power to control small realms." Lu Yang could not help but sigh.

"The Dao Lord..."

Master Chongguang shook his head: "You mean the Law-Refining Secret Realm, right? That is different. The Law-Refining Secret Realm is created by the Dao Lord, not captured."

Capturing Realm Heavens, creating Realm Heavens.

The gap between the two might also be the gap between a Jin Dan True Person and a Nascent Soul Dao Lord. Lu Yang took a deep breath and quickly cleared his distracting thoughts.

Overthinking is useless; the main matter is urgent.

Lu Yang's expression grew solemn as he spoke again: "Uncle, does this Realm Heaven perhaps contain some natives possessing divine powers?"

Master Chongguang nodded: "This is also what you must deal with. Some natives are not easy to provoke. Especially when a Realm Heaven is captured by a True Person and senses its own crisis of annihilation, it will instinctively support the natives within the realm. The 'Child of Destiny' cultivated this way is not easy to deal with."

"However, defeating them is also one of the conditions for victory."

As the words fell, Master Chongguang extended his hand, lightly tapped, and produced a scroll. Inside the scroll were mountains surrounding a clear stream cascading down from the peak.

"This object is named the 'Abyss-Sinking Gathering Map'; it is the fruit position treasure of True Person Qingcheng Feixue of our Holy Sect for this occasion."

"On the other side, the True Persons of the Jiangdong Dao Court and the Jiangxi Pure Land will each drive one of their own fruit position treasures into the Realm Heaven as the standard for judgment."

"What you must do is destroy the opponent's fruit position treasure."

"Or defeat the Child of Destiny within the Realm Heaven, seize the Realm Heaven's 'Heavenly Count,' and merge it into the fruit position treasure. Achieving either counts as a win."

Having finished speaking, Master Chongguang handed the scroll to Lu Yang.

"Generally, this object is only given to the strongest among those participating in the War for the Dao. Take it. How to use it and how to win are entirely your decision."

"Additionally, this object itself is a miraculous magical treasure. Once unfolded, it can manifest a landscape of mountains and earth veins as a fortress to resist external enemies. For non-Holy Sect disciples falling into the map, their cultivation is immediately weakened by thirty percent, while for our Holy Sect disciples fighting within the map, the power of their supernatural arts increases by seventy percent."

Lu Yang accepted the "Abyss-Sinking Gathering Map" and carefully stored it away.

After a moment passed, the star captured by the three True Persons suddenly blazed with light, and then Lu Yang's disciple token trembled slightly.

Lu Yang clearly felt a guiding force land upon it.

It seemed that as soon as he moved his thought, this guiding force would take him to another unfamiliar territory.

"The time has arrived; go."

Master Chongguang spoke at the appropriate moment: "After entering the Realm Heaven, everyone will be randomly distributed. Remember, first rendezvous with other True Disciples."

"Duanmu Yuan Tu understands." Lu Yang immediately nodded.

The next second, a visible guiding light erupted from the disciple token, enveloping his entire body, before he descended into that Star Realm Heaven.

Inside the Star Realm Heaven.

As a small Realm Heaven that had existed for who knows how long, on this day it welcomed a meteor shower of unprecedented scale.

Jiangdong, Tianwu Dao Court.

Jiangxi, Shenle Pure Land.

Jiangbei, Chu Sheng Mo Sect.

Disciples from the three sides entered the realm together; it should have been random distribution as Master Chongguang said, yet this time a different variable appeared.

In a mountain forest within the Realm Heaven, as a Buddhist cultivator wearing a kasaya with a compassionate face fell into the woods and then produced an extremely intricate talisman to activate it, soon streams of light flashed forth, and three figures with fierce auras suddenly appeared beside the man.

"You monks have quite a few methods."

One of them showed joy on his face: "This 'Heart-Linking Fate Talisman' is indeed extraordinary; with this, we can gather in advance."

"Thank you, Great Master."

Another was a burly man in black armor, standing with his hand on his sword, speaking in a low voice: "There is no time to lose; I need to assemble the troops immediately."

Upon hearing this, the Buddhist cultivator pressed his palms together: "Amitabha. Indeed, the Demon Path can no longer be allowed to run rampant."

The man in black armor was named Wang Jinting, the "General of Pacifying Yi" officially appointed by the Dao Court. On this occasion, he led an entire Righteous Army to participate in the War for the Dao.

To put it bluntly, on the Tianwu Dao Court side, he is the leader.

And the Buddhist cultivator was named "Guanghai," a disciple of a newly promoted Arhat from Shenle Pure Land, expected to attain the position of Dharma Protector Vajra, and likewise the leader of the Pure Land.

The Dao Court and the Pure Land have long been linked together!

In the last War for the Dao, True Person Yintu had not yet reached Foundation Establishment, yet his supernatural arts were invincible, allowing the Holy Sect to gain the upper hand in the War for the Dao, even advancing into Jiangnan. This time, the Dao Court and the Pure Land secretly colluded to open another War for the Dao, all to suppress the arrogance of the Demon Path.

The next second, Wang Jinting produced a scroll from his robes.

The scroll unfolded; Wang Jinting formed a hand seal and pointed. Instantly, hazy clouds and mist rose up, finally manifesting a magnificent scene of mountains, rivers, and streams.

Besides this, numerous red dots flickered on the map.

"This item is named the 'Complete Map of the Great Lands.' It can survey all major and minor qi signatures within the Realm of Heaven, and then consume magic power to teleport a person to a designated location."

The Heart-Link Fate Talisman, the Complete Map of the Great Lands.

These are the Fruit Treasures specially condensed by the two True Lords of the Dao Court and the Pure Land for this Battle for the Dao. Their effects are undoubtedly highly targeted.

The former allows disciples originally scattered at random to quickly gather together; the latter can lock onto the scattered disciples of the Initial Saint Sect immediately, thereby achieving the goal of concentrating manpower to fight the few with the many and seize the initiative. If used well, it is even enough to secure victory from the very start!
