Lingguang in the Starry Sky

Donghua stood in a pavilion, gazing at the majestic snow-capped scenery of the West Kunlun.

Several days had passed since the last Peach Banquet, yet he still felt a sense of unreality, because it had all come so suddenly.

The Peach Banquet concluded amidst congratulations from all the immortals of the Primordial Wilderness!

After the banquet ended, the West Queen Mother and Donghua came to the shore of Heavenly Pond again. The two walked hand in hand along the shore without saying a word!

But it also felt like they had said everything, that their hearts were in sync, and that they understood each other's intentions. At that moment, Donghua felt that he was truly alive in this world, and he was willing to do anything for it, regardless of any dangers ahead!

Perhaps this is what Dao Companion is, far superior to lovers in later generations!

After the Peach Banquet ended, everyone from the Purple Mansion stayed behind!

Lord of the Clouds was familiar with the people of West Kunlun, as they were all comrades-in-arms from the ancient times. Their reunion was filled with emotion!

Under the leadership of Lord of the Clouds, Grand Origin Immortal Lord, Barefoot Immortal, and the Four Divine Beasts of West Kunlun quickly became one.

Grand Origin Immortal Lord, in particular, is extremely shrewd and has befriended everyone from the Nine Heavens Xuan Nü and the Four Divine Beasts to the newly born fairy maidens.

He left a very good impression on the people of West Kunlun, who deeply felt that Grand Origin Immortal Lord was an elder of the Immortal Dao.

In Donghua's opinion, when it comes to the most cunning and treacherous person in the Purple Mansion, Grand Origin Immortal Lord is definitely the first, both cunning and treacherous!

Donghua, who was gazing into the distance, suddenly changed his expression, looked up at the sky, and Dharma Eye straight ahead as if piercing through the heavens!

High above, the weather suddenly changed. First, bursts of thunder pressed down, followed by wind and rain. White clouds turned into fiery clouds that drifted across the sky. The earth began to shake, and all kinds of natural disasters reappeared in the world, just like the Earth Fire Water Wind at the beginning of the creation of heaven and earth!

Donghua hurriedly performed some calculations, but found that there were no Heavenly Secret secrets to be found, and the entire Heavenly Dao seemed to be in complete chaos.

The West Queen Mother also flew over and asked, "Brother, what has happened?"

"I don't know. The secrets of Heavenly Secret are in chaos, and it's impossible to calculate them, but I suspect it must be related to you, Master!"

"Harmony with the Dao?"

Donghua looked up at the sky and nodded; this was his guess.

To attain harmony with the Dao is a very dangerous thing; it's not something that can be accomplished simply by saying "to attain harmony with the Dao."

The evolution of the Heavenly Dao is a slow process, but now Hongjun is going against the heavens and merging with the Dao to make the Heavenly Dao evolve to perfection ahead of schedule. The risks involved must be considerable!

Thunder surged in the heavens, Donghua found himself unable to withstand the power of each divine bolt.

"The Saint is truly powerful!"

"Yes, that gray lightning must be the world-destroying lightning the teacher was talking about. It's truly terrifying!"

The strange phenomenon in the heavens continued, and Great Powers in the Primordial Wilderness world stopped their cultivation to watch this scene and await the final outcome.

In the Heavenly Court, Di Jun, Taiyi, Fuxi, Kunpeng, Xi He, Bai Ze, and others stood, awaiting the final result.

"Brother, do you think our teacher can successfully achieve enlightenment?"

Di Jun, dressed in a bright yellow Yellow Emperor robe, slowly said, "Whether we succeed or not, our time has come. Our Heavenly Court has been dormant for too long, and to allow that scoundrel Taizhen of West Kunlun to bully Xi He is truly intolerable!"

Taiyi didn't care about this matter; he only had the Great Dao in his heart, and he always sought revenge on the spot.

Thinking of this, he thought of that scoundrel, the East King Gong. Although he usually disliked the East King Gong, for some reason, when they met at the Purple Sky Palace last time, he felt a deep-seated disgust.

Fuxi hearing Di Jun's words, Fu Xi wanted to say something, but was pulled back by Kunpeng beside him, and ultimately swallowed his words.

Within the Star Domain, the Ziwei Star hangs high, revered by all the other stars. This place was once the birthplace of the Starry Sky overlord Ziwei Emperor, and also the location of his Daoist practice!

With the fall of Ziwei Emperor, the power of the Star Domain almost collapsed. Most of them surrendered to the Heavenly Court, while some gathered under Doumu Yuanjun to maintain the operation of the Star Domain!

Ziwei Star, Doukan Palace, this is the palace of Doumu Yuanjun, and at this moment, the Star God are all seated in the palace.

On the high platform Cloud Bed inside the hall, Doumu Yuanjun sat upright, with Gouchen Emperor on her left and Wenchang Emperor on her right.

Below them are the Four Directional Gods of the Star Domain: Azure Dragon Mengzhang Divine Lord, White Tiger Jianbing Divine Lord, Vermilion Bird Lingguang Divine Lord, and Black Tortoise Zhiming Divine Lord.

Of course, these Four Directional Gods have no relation to the Four Saints of heaven and earth; they are all Star God born from the Star Domain.

Below them are the Five Dipper Star Lords, the Southern Dipper Six Star Lords, the Seven Star Lords of the Big Dipper, and some other Star God.

Wenchang Emperor asked, "Yuanjun, the Dao Ancestor is currently attempting to merge with the Dao. Whether he succeeds or not, the Primordial Wilderness will inevitably descend into chaos. I wonder what should become of our Star Domain?"

Before Doumu Yuanjun could speak, Gouchen Emperor said, "Hmph, aren't they just those two brats Di Jun and Taiyi? Taking advantage of their elder brother's death and before his reincarnation, they actually led those furry, horned, wet-born creatures of the demon race to establish the Heavenly Court and bully our Star Domain."

"At worst, it's a war. What do I have to fear?"

The Star God in the hall nodded in agreement, echoing the words of Gouchen Emperor, while others remained silent, lost in thought.

Doumu Yuanjun raised her hand to signal, and the people in the hall quieted down. Then she spoke, "After Hongjun merges with the Dao, the various forces in the Primordial Wilderness will surely be reshuffled, and another great chaos will ensue."

"And our Star Domain will certainly be no exception, but our Star Domain will absolutely not do anything to submit to the Heavenly Court. Not only would such an act be disrespectful to the Great Emperor, but moreover, our path, our roots, are in this Starry Sky. Where else can we hide?"

"Therefore, our Star Domain enters a state of combat from this moment on. All Star God guard the gates, and the Star Domain's grand array begins operation from this moment on."

At this point, Doumu Yuanjun glanced at the people in the hall again and said, "However, I, Doumu, am not an unfeeling person. I will give you three days. If you feel that the Star Domain has no future, you may leave. After three days, if anyone dares to talk about escaping, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"We swear to obey the Yuanjun's command and Star Domain to the death!"

The Primordial World Continent was suddenly thrown into turmoil, with various forces either shrinking their spheres of influence or expanding outwards.

In West Kunlun, Donghua and West Queen Mother stood side by side, with figures moving behind them. All those who had reached the Grand Luo Golden Immortal Realm in West Kunlun stood here, gazing towards the heavens!

The West Queen Mother spoke, "Xuan Nü, lead the heavenly soldiers to patrol West Kunlun and activate the West Kunlun protective formation!"

"Xuan Nü obeys!"

"Lu Wu, Kaiming, Li Zhu, Ying Zhao, guard the four directions. From this moment on, no one is allowed to enter West Kunlun. Anyone who dares to trespass will be killed without mercy!"

"We obey your command!"

The Four Divine Beasts departed, followed by numerous Fierce Beasts. These Fierce Beasts had all gained sentience, but none of them cultivated Immortal Dao; they only cultivated the physical body based on the laws of nature—a quintessential replica of the Witch Clan.

These Fierce Beasts are the main fighting force of West Kunlun and also the means of the West Queen Mother.

Donghua never asked West Queen Mother how she awakened the intelligence of the Fierce Beasts, since everyone has some unique characteristics.

In fact, Donghua himself could guess some of it. You should know that before West Queen Mother cultivated the Immortal Dao, she was not the dignified Head of Female Immortals she is today.

In the ancient times, the West Queen Mother cultivated the Moon Great Dao and the Geng Metal Great Dao, practiced the Path of Punishment and Killing, and was in charge of plagues, diseases, death, and executions.

Therefore, the West Queen Mother's ability to awaken the intelligence of Fierce Beasts should be related to her past practice of the Path of Punishment and Killing!

Seeing the group from West Kunlun retreat, Donghua addressed the group from the Purple Mansion: "You all must return to the Purple Mansion immediately and inform the Great Commander of Fate to activate the Great Array of the Three Islands and Ten Continents, seal off the Purple Mansion, and forbid anyone from entering or leaving. I will arrive shortly after I have finished dealing with matters here!"

"We obey the decree!"
