Stealing the Heavens.

Chapter 110 Breakthrough
Upon returning to Canglan City, Pei Wende received a message from Huo Qing, the sect leader of Guangyan Sect, asking him what exactly was going on with the golden light in Donglai City.

"The righteous spirit of the Eastern Dao Ancestor." Pei Wende said helplessly, looking at Huo Qing's short, fiery red hair with steel needles in the image.

"Pei Wende, are you sure?!" Huo Qing's eyes widened immediately. Only the Daoist Ancestor Donglai could use the righteous energy of the Daoist sect.

"The people I brought almost all turned into demons, didn't they, Jin Guang?!" Pei Wende glared impatiently at Huo Qing.

"Lord Pei, do you really want to submit to Zi Dong, this junior disciple of the Yuntian Sect?" Huo Qing no longer addressed Pei Wende by his full name.

Guangyan Sect needs to rely on Pei Wende and Canglan City to compete for power in the Canglan River area.

"Sect Master Huo, Guangyan Sect can no longer hide in the back!" Pei Wende pondered for a moment, then stared intently at Huo Qing and said.

"Lord Pei, what are you planning to do?" Huo Qing immediately perked up; Pei Wende had come up with a plan.

"Kill Zi Dong!" Pei Wende's refined face twisted into a ferocious expression as he raised his hand in a slashing motion.

"Lord Pei, my Guangyan Sect will definitely support you with all our might!" Huo Qing finally felt relieved; killing Zi Dong would solve all the problems.

The appearance of the Eastern Dao Ancestor will only make the Yuntian Sect stronger, which is something the Guangyan Sect does not want to see.

Huo Qing is not as naive as the Qinglian Sword Sect. Do you think Zi Dong is so easy to recruit? We must nip him in the bud!

"Zi Dong, you should head to Guangyan Sect as soon as possible!" Sikong Bo summoned Zi Dong, who was planning the market with Ai Shang, and gave him the order directly.

"Master, Donglai City has just been built, and there are still many things to do." Zi Dong looked troubled.

"This is your master's intention." Sikong Bo completely ignored Zi Dong's explanation: "I will take charge of Donglai City for you."

Although Zi Dong was expelled from Yuntian Sect, he was still Zhou Yunting's personal disciple.

Sikong Bo didn't say much. The key to completely resolving the conflict with Canglan City and allowing Donglai City to gain a foothold in the Canglan River area still lay with Guangyan Sect.

Zi Dong entrusted Ai Shang with the planning of the Donglai City Market, selected five hundred members of the Demon Hunter Team, and set off for the Fire Cloud Mountains with Feng Qingwu and Zhou Xinyu.

Qiao Hankun and ten other elders, along with ten elders from the Feng family, continued to accompany them to ensure the safety of Zi Dong and the others.

After crossing the Canglan River, the further south you go, the fewer cities you see; it's almost all mountains and forests. The southern part of the East Road is mostly inhabited by clans.

The Guangyan Sect is composed of individual families, with the Huo family being the largest family in the Huoyun Mountain Range.

This time, Elder Fengji did not lead the way because he was not familiar with the area south of the Canglan River.

Wang Gun, an elder of the Cloud Heaven Sect at the Breaking Void Realm, comes from the Wang family of Zhenruo Mountain, a prominent family in the southern part of the Eastern Continent.

Wang Gun was merely a pawn in the Wang family's power struggle, planted in the Yuntian Sect, but unexpectedly he became a Void Breaking Realm elder.

The Wang family immediately abandoned the Guangyan Sect and completely pledged allegiance to the Yuntian Sect, sending almost all of their disciples to the Azure Dragon Mountain Range.

With the help of the Yuntian Sect, the Wang family grew rapidly, and even the Guangyan Sect dared not provoke them easily.

Zhenruo Mountain is located in the northern part of the Huoyun Mountain Range and is one of the main passages into the Huoyun Mountain Range.

The Wang family naturally became the biggest obstacle to Guangyan Sect's expansion to the north. Originally, they wanted Canglan City to cut off the Wang family's connection with Yuntian Sect, but unexpectedly, Canglan City was taken over by Yuntian Sect.

To minimize unnecessary trouble along the way, Wang Gun suggested taking a flying boat directly to Zhenruo Mountain.

Pei Wende had already sent people to keep a close eye on Zi Dong. Seeing the large group heading south, he quickly contacted Huo Qing.

Guangyan Sect immediately convened a meeting of elders, and Huo Qing decided to take action at Zhenruo Mountain to completely eradicate the Wang family along with them.

However, Guangyan Sect couldn't handle this matter directly. Huo Qing contacted several families, and Guangyan Sect secretly assisted them. Zhenruo Mountain is only a little over two thousand meters high, which isn't considered high in the south, where mountains are everywhere.

Surrounded by rivers, many small families gathered here, forming a huge power group together with the Wang family.

The people of Zidong received a grand reception from the Wang family. The head of the family personally greeted them and held a banquet in the council hall.

The heads of various families at the foot of the mountain were also invited to pay their respects to the Eastern Dao Ancestor.

Zi Dong would certainly not let Dao Ancestor Donglai appear casually. He invited everyone to follow him to Guangyan Sect, where they would naturally be able to meet Dao Ancestor Donglai.

Before the banquet was even over, Elder Qiao Hankun received a message from the sect that Guangyan Sect was preparing to annihilate the Wang family.

The smug Wang family patriarch nearly jumped under the table in fright, while the patriarchs of the smaller families were even more terrified and turned to run away.

"Everyone, even if you want to join the Guangyan Sect now, they will not let you go. Only by uniting together and following the Eastern Dao Ancestor to defeat the Guangyan Sect!"

Qiao Hankun gave everyone a stern look, and his words finally woke up these family heads.

"Patriarch, immediately issue the order: Zhenruo Mountain is under martial law. No one is allowed to leave or enter!"

Elder Wang Gun directly ordered the head of the Wang family to guard against cultivators from the Guangyan Sect infiltrating Zhenruo Mountain.

"Patriarch Wang, please prepare a cultivation room for me. I need to go into seclusion." Zi Dong said immediately after Patriarch Wang had just given the order from Wang Gun.

"..." The Wang family head stared at Zi Dong for a long time with a blank expression, then looked at Wang Gun, who also looked blank, and wanted him to ask Zi Dong what he meant.

Guangyan Sect is about to storm Zhenruo Mountain, but Zidong is going into seclusion. What's the use of sharpening one's skills at the last minute?
"Patriarch, send someone to clean my cultivation room and arrange for Zi Dong to go into seclusion." Wang Gun reacted quickly.

Zi Dong's body contains the Dao Ancestor of the East, so his seclusion must have been at the Dao Ancestor's request, since he had expended a lot of energy in Donglai City.

Wang Gun's guess was pretty accurate, but it wasn't that the Eastern Dao Ancestor was going into seclusion; rather, it was the Eastern Purple Qi that made Zi Dong go into seclusion.

The reason why Zi Dong dared to come to the Fire Cloud Mountains was because the Purple Qi from the East was not dormant this time.

However, he made one request: that Zi Dong go into seclusion as soon as possible to help him restore his righteous spirit.

The explanation for "Eastern Purple Qi" is that the righteous energy is related to Zi Dong's cultivation level. Opening up the two spaces of the Heart Sea and Purple Mansion will make the righteous energy even stronger.

Zi Dong had only recently entered the Core Formation Realm, and even with sufficient luck, he lacked the confidence to break through to the Heavenly Profound Realm.

The purple aura from the east told him that righteous energy was more powerful than luck, and that it could help him break through to the Heavenly Profound Realm in a short time.

The entire Zhenruo Mountain was preparing for battle. Zi Dong went to Wang Gun's cultivation room to cultivate in seclusion, and Wang Gun personally guarded the door.

The purple aura from the east caused the Purple East to circulate the Cloud Heaven Technique, sending one thousand points of fortune from each of the fourth to sixth grades into the main vein.

Golden light immediately surged out from the main meridian, gathering in Zi Dong's dantian and turning his golden core into pure gold.

He then merged with true energy, which quickly rushed into all the meridians of his body, and under the operation of the Cloud Heaven Technique, it all rushed towards his heart.

Just as Zi Dong was nervously bracing himself for excruciating pain, his mind was instantly opened up, and his heart was directly dyed gold.

He only felt a light prick from a needle, and a small golden heart quickly condensed within his mind.

Before Zi Dong could even feel the power of his mind, the golden light, carrying the true energy within his mind, surged into all the meridians of his body.

Zi Dong had no choice but to fully activate the Cloud Heaven Technique, allowing the golden light to carry his true energy into his Purple Mansion and help him condense his divine soul into a physical form.
