Stealing the Heavens.

Chapter 123 Donglai Pavilion

The flying boat controlled by Elder Feng Kun was constantly being probed along the way, first by divine sense, and then by cultivators flying in continuously.

When the first divine sense probed, Zi Dong used his righteous energy to envelop himself and Feng Qingwu.

The flying boat's protective shield was very powerful, blocking most of the divine sense. The divine sense that rushed into the flying boat could only detect Elder Feng Kun and Zhou Xinyu, as well as a patch of golden light.

Those whose divine senses were able to enter the flying boat were naturally very powerful, and they didn't take the golden light seriously at all. Without exception, they were all completely purified by the golden light.

Elder Feng Kun controlled the aircraft as it sped towards Donglai Pavilion, and a startling piece of news quickly spread throughout the Central Continent.

Donglai Pavilion obtained a divine artifact that can purify the divine consciousness of cultivators, and is even more domineering than the demon race's devouring technique.

However, these forces did not make a move immediately. To them, Donglai Pavilion was like a mosquito, which they could kill with a wave of their hand.

Donglai Pavilion is located on a large mountain in the eastern part of the Central Continent, and it can be considered a powerful force on the ground.

Those capable of building palaces on auspicious clouds are the top powers in the Central Continent, just like the three major sects on the Eastern Continent.

To build a palace on auspicious clouds, one must first become the most powerful force on the ground.

This means defeating all forces on the ground, as well as the opposing force on the auspicious cloud; the difficulty is unimaginable.

When Elder Feng Kun controlled the flying boat and arrived at Wuwei Peak, where Donglai Pavilion was located, all the forces from the Central Continent had already gathered.

The cultivators of Donglai Pavilion were on high alert, the air thick with tension, as if a conflict was about to erupt.

Elder Feng Kun quickly controlled the flying boat to land on the peak, and together with Zhou Xinyu, led Zi Dong and Feng Qingwu, who were enveloped in golden light, into the Donglai Pavilion.

Because palaces can only be built on auspicious clouds, forces on the ground can only build pavilions.

Donglai Pavilion has nine floors, all of which are made of wood and are not painted, but polished to show the original color of the mahogany.

The lobby on the first floor is as big as two football fields, and the mahogany floor is carved with intricate patterns that resemble a magic array.

The walls around the room were covered with cultivators practicing their moves, like a complete set of martial arts techniques.

Above is a huge dome, and in the middle is a passageway that can accommodate one person.

Elder Feng Kun flew directly upwards, and Zhou Xinyu called out to Zi Dong and Feng Qingwu before following him.

"Why isn't there even a staircase?!" Feng Qingwu looked around and saw that the first-floor hall was completely empty. There wasn't even a single chair, let alone a staircase.

“Those who enter Donglai Pavilion are all powerful individuals capable of flight, so there is no need for stairs.”

Zi Dong explained as he led Feng Qingwu in pursuit of Elder Feng Kun and Zhou Xinyu.

"Tch, not dignified enough for a strong person!" Feng Qingwu curled her lip in disdain.

Zi Dong didn't say anything more. He understood what Feng Qingwu meant; taking the stairs was the only way to project the aura of a strong person.

Donglai Pavilion is like an octagonal tower, getting smaller as you go up. The nine-story tower is about the size of a football field.

Floors two through eight were all rooms, and the ninth floor was a large hall. When Zi Dong and Feng Qingwu arrived, the ninth floor was already full of golden-robed cultivators.

"Zi Dong, Feng Qingwu, come and pay your respects to the Pavilion Master!" Zhou Xinyu quickly called out to Zi Dong and Feng Qingwu, who had flown up.

"Greetings, Pavilion Master." Zi Dong landed directly next to Zhou Xinyu with Feng Qingwu and bowed to an elderly man in golden robes who was sitting upright.

“You are not yet cultivators of the Donglai Pavilion, so let’s consider yourselves as members of the Yuntian Sect.”

The old man in the golden robe stroked his white beard, looking at Zi Dong with a smile, a satisfied expression on his thin face.

"The Pavilion Master is none other than the Immortal Venerable Wuwei." Seeing that Zi Dong and Feng Qingwu hesitated, Zhou Xinyu quickly introduced them again. "Disciple Zi Dong greets Grandmaster." Zi Dong quickly knelt down, only then realizing that the Immortal Venerable Wuwei was the Pavilion Master.

"Disciple Feng Qingwu greets the old sect master." Feng Qingwu also knelt down in obeisance, following Zi Dong.

"Good, good, good!" Immortal Venerable Wuwei glanced at Feng Qingwu, who was dressed in an orange dress, raised his hand to signal the two of them to stand up, and then gave the order:

"Xinyu, take Zidong and Qingwu to the lower level to cultivate. You will be responsible for arranging everything they need."

"Yes, Master." Zhou Xinyu quickly bowed and then led Zi Dong and Feng Qingwu to the eighth floor.

"Elder Feng Kun, the safety of Zi Dong and Feng Qingwu is entrusted to you."

After the three, including Wuwei Immortal Venerable and Zi Dong, left, he turned to Elder Feng Kun, who was sitting to his left, and said something.

“Pavilion Master, Zi Dong should be able to protect himself.” Elder Feng Kun was well aware that Donglai Pavilion was facing a major battle at any time, but he had great faith in Zi Dong’s righteous spirit.

"Can his golden light protect my Donglai Pavilion from harm?" Immortal Venerable Wuwei pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked with a hint of excitement.

“Sect Master, Zi Dong has only protected himself and Qing Wu along the way and hasn’t really used his abilities. We still need to try.”

"Elder Feng Kun, I'm entrusting this matter to you." Immortal Venerable Wuwei looked at Elder Feng Kun sincerely:
"The forces on the ground can still handle it, but if those celestial palaces and temples take action, Donglai Pavilion may be in danger of being destroyed!"

"Sect Master, I'll go talk to Zi Dong right away." Elder Feng Kun immediately got up and flew down to the lower level.

"Send the order to have all the returning cultivators ambush the outer perimeter of Wuwei Peak!" Wuwei Immortal Venerable instructed the crowd.

The eight floors are all individual rooms, like a forest, without any particular pattern.

Each room has a number, just like a hotel. Zi Dong and Feng Qingwu were led into room 811 by Zhou Xinyu.

"There is an array inside the Donglai Pavilion, and the source energy is very rich. The eighth floor is the best place for cultivation."

After giving a brief introduction, Zhou Xinyu turned and left, and began cultivating in the nearby 821.

The room contained only two futons with the three large characters "Donglai Pavilion" printed on them, and was otherwise empty.

Zi Dong carefully sensed the power of heaven and earth within the room, then enveloped the entire room with his righteous energy.

"Junior Sister Qingwu, let's cultivate." Zi Dong glanced at Feng Qingwu, who was still frowning and looking around the room, and then sat down on a futon.

"It's too rudimentary!" Feng Qingwu muttered discontentedly as she sat down on another futon.

Zi Dong didn't say anything more. After summoning his Xuan Body, he prepared to cultivate, but there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?!" Feng Qingwu called out impatiently. She was just about to start cultivating when someone came to knock on the door.

She and Zi Dong did not release their divine senses, after all, they were not members of Donglai Pavilion.

"Zi Dong, I'd like to have a talk with you." Elder Feng Kun pushed open the door and entered.

"Elder Feng, please enlighten us." Zi Dong quickly stood up, and Feng Qingwu also stood up.

"Zi Dong, can the righteous energy of the Dao Ancestor of the East protect the East Pavilion?" Elder Feng Kun asked from the doorway.

"I'll give it a try." Zi Dong immediately sat down cross-legged, activated the Cloud Heaven Technique, and the golden light of his Xuan Body rapidly spread outward.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the Donglai Pavilion at the summit was enveloped in golden light, which then spread throughout the entire Wuwei Peak.

Zi Dong was astonished; his cultivation speed was more than a hundred times faster than it had been on the Eastern Continent!
