Chapter 348: The Divine Maiden Enters the Game, Hong Jun: We

"Xuanmen?"

"Yes!"

Hong Jun Dao Ren smiled at Yang Mei: "Leader of the Xuanmen, one qi transforms into Hong Jun!"

"How's that slogan?"

"It's fine," Yang Mei muttered, not caring much for the name, but deeply concerned whether the "Dragon Slaying" plan could be implemented.

Hong Jun said: "Let's return first. Let Kun Peng Dao You and Dian Dao Dao You handle things freely."

"Agreed."

The two Daoists remained in Wu Yang Da Shi Jie for a while; seeing the world stabilize, they felt deeply satisfied.

"If all branches of the Xian Dao can remain united, how could our Xian Dao cause fail to flourish!"

Hong Jun sighed with emotion, then returned with Yang Mei to Bai Yu Jing.

"In my view, since the Dao Zu refuses to appear, he tacitly approves our plan. Let’s vote by majority rule to decide whether to establish the Dao Alliance!"

With Hong Jun long absent, the immortals automatically moved into the voting phase of the assembly.

All were shareholders of the Xian Dao and fully entitled to this power.

Yao Chi’s eyes sparkled with excitement—this was her first time leading a Xian Dao meeting, and so far, progress was excellent!

"Then let’s begin voting. Those in favor, raise your hands!"

The immortals were about to raise their hands.

Hong Jun Dao Ren’s figure suddenly appeared in the teahouse.

"I vote for the Dao Alliance!" Hong Jun said cheerfully.

Didn’t you oppose cooperation?

Yang Mei glanced at Hong Jun in surprise.

Then he saw Kun Peng and Dian Dao Xian Ren also casting votes; Yang Mei immediately understood and said: "I vote for the Dao Alliance too!"

"Our Xian Dao is the representative of Hong Huang Tian Dao, teeming with powerful beings, immensely strong, entrusted with the mission of spreading the Dao and guiding Hong Huang’s development—isn’t that our duty?"

"Therefore, Yao Chi Dao You’s proposal is excellent!"

For a schemer like Hong Jun, don’t listen to what he says—watch what he does.

Strongly supporting the Dao Alliance doesn’t mean you can’t secretly eliminate Zu Long.

Feint east, strike west, create a grand spectacle to conceal a smaller goal—this is the simplest logic.

With both Xian Dao founding ancestors agreeing to form the Dao Alliance, there was no need for further voting.

"Do you truly intend to spread the Dao to all beings?" Xiang Xuanqing asked.

"Why not?"

Hong Jun smiled: "Universal salvation of all immortals, the supreme true fruit—isn’t that our purpose?"

"Now that I am Tian Dao’s representative, I naturally must contribute to Hong Huang’s prosperity and development."

"Our Dao Alliance must center on spreading the Dao, uniting under the banner of Hong Huang Tian Dao, guided by the principle of universal salvation, continuously recruiting like-minded Dao You!"

"Only then can we grow into the foremost power in Hong Huang!"

The Three Pure Ones exchanged glances.

Is Hong Jun really thinking this?

"Hong Jun Dao You speaks excellently!"

With Hong Jun and Yang Mei’s strong support, Yao Chi felt greatly encouraged.

"Then let’s not delay—let’s begin preparations now!"

What did the immortals need to prepare?

Answer: Cast a wide net, catch as many fish as possible!

They would use Hun Yuan Da Dao and the Eight Branches’ paths to Zheng Dao as their "net" to capture countless spirits and living beings across the world.

Soon, every Xian Dao immortal, big or small, was mobilized.

Each carried a promotional handbook, traveling through famous mountains, great rivers, and all worlds of the cosmos.

"Have you heard of the Dao Alliance? We are an organization that gathers Dao You through the Dao and loves peace."

"You know Hong Huang Tian Dao, right? Our top leaders control Tian Dao! Join our Dao Alliance, and we’ll open all three thousand Dao paths for your contemplation!"

"You’ve been stuck in Tai Yi realm for a long time? Don’t worry—join our Dao Alliance, and you can choose any Zheng Dao method you like."

"What? You ask how our Dao Alliance’s spreading differs from the Xiong Shou’s? The difference is enormous!"

"The Xiong Shou were losers of the last Da Jie. Every founding member of our Dao Alliance are victors of great calamities, all having been corrected by Pan Gu’s axe!"

"Can Dragon Clan spirits join our Dao Alliance? Of course they can—absolutely!"

"Our core members are all great Xian Dao cultivators, and the Xian Dao has signed the 'Mutual Non-Aggression and Friendly Relations Treaty' with the Three Primordial Clans. Round it off, we’re all family."

"You’ve come to the right place!"

Every Xian Dao promoter sent out was a spark, carrying lofty ideals, diligently and actively spreading the Dao.

Especially the immortals setting up stalls in Zhu Tian Cheng—they had endured countless eons of training, honing exceptional rhetorical skills, perfect for convincing others.

Who could withstand them once they moved?

Soon, the phrase "Have you heard of the Dao Alliance?" swept across the entire Hong Huang Universe.

"Want to make friends? Join the Dao Alliance!"

"Want to achieve Zheng Dao? Join the Dao Alliance!"

"Want to live a different life? Come to our Dao Alliance!"

"Our Dao Alliance strictly follows voluntary principles—recruiting Dao You through sincerity, never forcing anyone, trustworthy to all."

"Even if you don’t wish to join, you can first attend our free lectures: Tai Yi Dao Zhu teaches live, explaining boundless wondrous methods clearly and accessibly; Da Luo Zun masters open platforms to preach, offering high-level guidance on the direction of the Dao."

"No matter your race or faction, the Dao Alliance welcomes all."

"Once you come, you won’t be cheated, won’t be deceived, and will even receive free gifts."

All these actions of the Xian Dao were watched by the gods of heaven and earth and the great ones of the Three Clans.

They were all curious whether the Dao Alliance’s spreading of the Dao was genuine.

Once curiosity arises, one inevitably takes action.

The spirits were no different.

They contacted the Xian Dao promoters openly or covertly through various means.

The answers they received were all consistent—the Dao Alliance truly intended to gather Dao You through the Dao and spread it to all beings of Hong Huang.

From the scriptures leaked so far, they glimpsed only a fraction of the Xian Dao’s Zheng Dao methods, catching glimpses of Dao truth.

This thrilled the gods of heaven and earth and countless beings.

As for the ultimate Dao, they dared not say—but the Tai Yi Xian Jing and Da Luo Dao Jing were truly being spread!

"The Dao Alliance really treats us like family!"

The grace of spreading the Dao is like granting rebirth.

The Xian Dao’s move held deadly appeal for beings who, after the Da Jie, sought peace and yearned for Zheng Dao and transcendence. Suddenly, beings flocked to join the Dao Alliance.

At Mount Qingqiu, [Shen Xiao Shen Nu] Xiao Xiao saw off Guang Cheng Zi, who had come to spread the Dao.

The little foxes in the academy clustered around Xiao Xiao, asking: "Mistress, should we join this Dao Alliance?"

"They spread the Dao; we teach. It seems we’re family," said the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Xiao Jiu.

"Family?"

Xiao Xiao gazed at Guang Cheng Zi’s departing direction, her eyes smiling, lips curling faintly: "If we judge by the connection of Tian Xian, we truly are family."

"Really?"

The children were ecstatic, their eyes sparkling.

"Are Tian Xian also fox spirits?"

"Do they have an academy too?"

"Are we Tian Hu fox cultivators another kind of Tian Xian?"

"But I didn’t see that immortal’s tail."

"Dummy, our Tian Hu are masters of transformation—he must’ve turned his tail into something else, like a celestial sword or a sword gourd."

"Oh right!"

The little foxes became wildly lively.

[Xiao Xiao, the Xian Dao is expanding. Interested in joining us as Dao Alliance Zun?]

[What position does Ling Xiao Da Ren hold in the Dao Alliance?] Xiao Xiao asked.

[Dao Alliance Acting Alliance Master—that’s me!]

[Oh?]

Xiao Xiao was surprised: [Are your benefits real?]

[Absolutely genuine!] Yao Chi swore solemnly.

Xiao Xiao paused, then said: [Very well. Since Ling Xiao Da Ren invites me, Qing Qiu joins the Dao Alliance.]

Yao Chi was overjoyed.

[From now on, we’re family!]

Similar scenes unfolded across Hong Huang.

The divine summoned companions; the immortals sought old friends.

One told ten, ten told a hundred—the authenticity of the Dao Alliance’s spreading of the Dao was confirmed again and again.

An increasing number of deities have chosen to join the Dao Alliance.

“Is the Immortal Dao actually serious?”

In the Eastern Dragon Palace, after Zu Long returned from Taiwei Yuan, he convened a grand assembly to discuss the Dao Alliance.

“It seems genuine,” said Ying Long, the third progenitor of the Dragon Clan, stepping forward; with a wave of her hand, one hundred and eight scrolls appeared in the void.

“When the Dao Alliance began its promotion, I sent clan members to investigate—these scriptures were collected from their free lectures.”

“Although each scroll contains only a fragment and is incomplete, the Great Dao is real, and the techniques are real.”

Ying Long selected one scroll and demonstrated the Body-Fixing Technique and the Invisibility Technique within it on the spot.

These are basic techniques.

For deities of their caliber, they hold little value, but for low-level cultivators, these are precious treasures!

The assembled Dragon Deities examined the scrolls floating in the void with curiosity.

Soon, they began whispering among themselves.

“The Immortal Dao is impressive—actual teachings are really being passed down!”

“The scroll I received has some flaws; certain techniques are overly complicated and lack simplification, but the content is undeniably genuine.”

“As the saying goes, ‘True transmission is one phrase; false transmission fills ten thousand scrolls.’ Surprisingly, these are all properly serious.”

“The scroll I received discusses the Path of the Celestial Immortal; though it only touches the surface, one can still glimpse the scenery beyond the gate of the Great Dao—it’s captivating!”

“We aren’t afraid they’ll teach falsehoods—we fear they’ll teach truths. The Immortal Dao’s actions likely conceal grand designs!”

Zu Long listened to the murmurs of the Dragon Deities, having read all one hundred and eight scrolls; he nodded: “Regardless of the Immortal Dao’s intentions, spreading the Dao to all sentient beings is undoubtedly a good thing.”

“Third sister.”

Zu Long looked at Ying Long and said: “The Dao Alliance accepts all races and factions, doesn’t it? Arrange for your clan members to officially join them—treat it as an exchange and learning opportunity.”

“Should I lead the delegation myself?”

Ying Long smiled: “The current Lord of the Immortal Court has some ties with me—we can engage in deeper exchanges.”

“Oh?”

A faint smile flickered in Zu Long’s eyes: “So they’re family, then?”

Ying Long gave a slight nod: “Indeed, they are family.”

“Then, third sister, I leave it to you.”

Zu Long agreed to Ying Long’s suggestion.

“Big brother, should we temporarily suspend our campaign against the Qilin Clan?” asked Qing Long, the second progenitor of the Dragon Clan.

“Why suspend it?”

Zu Long chuckled: “Attacking the Qilin while cooperating with them isn’t contradictory.”

“Your Majesty!”

At that moment, a streak of Bai Guang rushed urgently into the Wanshendian.

“Ao Guang, what is it?” Zu Long asked sternly.

Ao Guang bowed: “Our Sixteenth Main Divine Palace has been attacked—the assailants are the Dapeng Clan, vassals of the Phoenix!”

“What?!”

The assembled Dragon Deities erupted in fury.

They rose at once, their true spirits soaring into the air and descending into the First Main Divine Palace.

The Zhouyuan Shengding roared as it spun, piercing through all mist to reveal the scene within the Sixteenth Main Divine Palace.

They witnessed the Dapeng feeding on true dragons!

“How audacious!”
