Stealing the Heavens.

Chapter 130 Taking Zhongtian Peak

Immortal Venerable Wuwei readily agreed and set a date to build the Immortal Palace, and sent people to Zhongtian Peak.

However, after waiting for more than half a month, there was no movement from Donglai Pavilion, only the golden light continued to spread.

Palace Master Xing Fei and Elder Mo Cheng could only lead the cultivators surrounding Wuwei Peak to retreat continuously, as they had no idea what Donglai Pavilion was up to.

The Immortal Venerable Wuwei wanted Zidong to cover the entire Central Continent with golden light, and if possible, he even wanted to cover the auspicious clouds as well.

For cultivators, a few months is like a few days for ordinary people; they can wait for years.

While condensing golden light, Zi Dong improved his cultivation and began to communicate with the power of the stars.

Although both the Righteous Qi and the Purple Mist contain powerful stellar energy, the energy obtained through one's own communication is still more powerful.

Feng Qingwu's cultivation level is also rapidly improving, and she has begun to condense her Xuan Body. However, the presence of both wind and fire spiritual roots makes it somewhat difficult for her to break through.

Zhou Xinyu suggested that Feng Qingwu first use the Wind Spirit Root to condense her Profound Body, and then integrate the Fire Spirit Root into it.

With Zi Dong's righteous energy as an aid, the fusion process is much easier and faster than condensing two spiritual roots at the same time.

The golden light quickly reached the east coast and continued to spread to the north, south, and west, at an increasingly faster pace.

All forces in the Central Continent were constantly watching the golden light emanating from the Donglai Pavilion, especially the three major forces.

The golden light was about to envelop Zhongtian Peak, and Palace Master Jixuan, Palace Master Xingfei, and Palace Master Baijie could no longer sit still.

"Gentlemen, can the three of us join forces to repel the golden light?" Palace Master Jixuan asked Palace Master Xingfei and Palace Master Baijie.

Their cultivation level was already infinitely close to that of the three great gods of the past, and they had long since reached the peak of the Supreme Realm, but they had never been able to break through to the Dao Realm.

"Palace Master Jixuan, with an army of 100,000 defeated and routed, even the three of us combined might not be able to stop them!"

Palace Master Xing Fei and Palace Master Bai Jie exchanged a quick glance and offered their helpless words of advice.

Although he was very confident in himself, if he made a mistake, the status of those three as the strongest people in the Central Continent would be shaken.

Palace Master Jixuan shared the same thought; he absolutely could not act rashly, as it concerned not only his own status but also the fate of the Wuji Immortal Palace.

He asked this question hoping that Palace Master Xing Fei and Palace Master Bai Jie would intervene, but he didn't expect that the two of them were also cunning and shrewd.

“Palace Master Jixuan, why not generously hand over Zhongtian Peak to Donglai Pavilion?”

Seeing that Palace Master Jixuan's expression was gloomy, Palace Master Baijie quickly offered her advice.

"Oh?!" Palace Master Jixuan immediately looked at Palace Master Baijie. Her anger hadn't been vented yet, and now she was coming up with another bad idea.

“Palace Master Jixuan, Zi Dong’s golden light can only cover the ground. Once Donglai Pavilion builds a celestial palace on the auspicious clouds, won’t it be at our mercy to suppress it?”

Palace Mistress Bai Jie smiled sweetly and began to speak with captivating charm.

"Palace Mistress Jixuan, I think Palace Mistress Baijie's plan is feasible!"

Palace Master Xing Fei's eyes lit up immediately; how come he hadn't thought of this method?

The auspicious cloud is infinitely close to space. Even with the help of the avatar of the Eastern Dao Ancestor, a mere cultivator at the Heavenly Profound Realm could not possibly accomplish anything on the auspicious cloud.

"Alright." Palace Master Jixuan pondered for a moment and also thought Palace Master Baijie's idea was good, so she immediately instructed Elder Mocheng to carry it out.

Once Donglai Pavilion builds its Immortal Palace, it will have to follow the arrangements of the three major powers. Then we'll figure out how to deal with Zi Dong!

"Lord of Zidong City, can the righteous spirit cover the auspicious clouds?"

The Immortal Venerable Wuwei had long anticipated that the three major powers would agree to the demands, because they had no other options.

If a celestial palace is built on auspicious clouds, it will become a meal for the three major powers. "Sect Master, the Righteous Qi can only protect the Eastern Celestial Palace, and it cannot be estimated that it will not be able to protect the ground."

Zi Dong was somewhat helpless. If Donglai Ziqi were to make a move, the golden light could cover the entire sky of the Central Continent without any problem.

However, the purple aura from the east cannot control the righteous energy for a long time and needs to go into a slumber every now and then.

"This is a difficult problem!" Immortal Venerable Wuwei sighed helplessly. How could he be willing to give up the Immortal Palace?

"Master, let's stick to the previous method and have Zi Dong use his righteous energy to cover the entire ground, thereby restraining the three major forces!"

Seeing that the Immortal Venerable Wuwei looked worried, Zhou Xinyu quickly made a suggestion.

“Yes, without the ground, the three major forces won’t be able to hold out for long!” Feng Qingwu immediately agreed.

"Alas, this is all we can do!" Immortal Venerable Wuwei sighed again.

If this is done, the cultivators within the Immortal Palace will constantly face danger and be slaughtered by the three major forces.

Even so, the Immortal Venerable Wuwei still had to build an Immortal Palace, otherwise the Donglai Pavilion would never be able to become powerful.

To build a celestial palace on auspicious clouds, you must first collect enough source white jade, seabed silver sand, and golden valley refined gold.

Then, the stones are handed over to the Great Evolution Immortal Palace to be refined into Heavenly Cloud Stones. Only after paying a massive amount of Source Stones can the construction of the Immortal Palace begin.

The Heavenly Cloud Stone can only be refined by the Great Evolution Immortal Palace. With the support of the formation, it can withstand hundreds of attacks from a hundred Supreme Realm cultivators.

Although these three top-grade materials are scarce, they can still be collected in sufficient quantities over a long period of time.

The most crucial element is Originium, because that's what the Central Continent lacks most; Originium mines are almost impossible to find.

This requires cultivators at the Supreme Realm to condense their true energy, and they can only condense a few pieces in a day.

Most of the people in Donglai Pavilion are Taoist cultivators, many of whom understand the art of array formations and have already built arrays for condensing source stones.

Supreme Realm cultivators can condense source stones using formations, increasing their speed many times over and significantly improving their quality.

That's why Donglai Pavilion developed so quickly, laying a solid foundation for building the Immortal Palace. Many materials were purchased with Originium.

The Immortal Venerable Wuwei sent people to deliver materials and source stones to the Great Evolution Immortal Palace, promising to pay an additional 10% of the source stones after the completion of the project.

The Great Evolution Immortal Palace immediately agreed to do its utmost to build the Eastern Arrival Immortal Palace. Money makes the world go round, and source stones can turn the Great Evolution Immortal Palace into a millstone-pushing monster.

Wuji Immortal Palace, Tianfang Temple and Phoenix Immortal Palace are located above Zhongtian Peak, and Donglai Immortal Palace is right next to Wuji Immortal Palace.

The three major forces clearly intend to crush the Donglai Immortal Palace; as long as the golden light doesn't appear, they'll annihilate it at any time!

The Immortal Venerable Wuwei had no time to consider the dangers of the Eastern Immortal Palace. He would wait until the golden light completely enveloped the ground before observing how the situation developed.

As expected, Zi Dong quickly enveloped Zhongtian Peak with golden light, and the cultivators from the three major forces stationed there had already fled.

They dared not confront the righteous energy head-on; those cultivators who were enveloped in the golden light almost lost their cultivation.

Since Palace Master Jixuan, Palace Master Xingfei, and Palace Master Baijie haven't given any death orders, what's the point of them holding out?

After the golden light enveloped Zhongtian Peak, Zi Dong immediately rushed to the top of Zhongtian Peak, where he could clearly see Wuji Immortal Palace, Tianfang Divine Palace, Phoenix Immortal Palace, and Donglai Immortal Palace, which was under construction.

The Wuji Immortal Palace was shrouded in purple mist, the Tianfang Divine Palace was pitch black, while the Phoenix Immortal Palace was colorful.

"Zi Dong, I'm entrusting Zhongtian Peak to you," said the Immortal Venerable Wuwei, full of expectation.
"When the righteous spirit envelops the entire land, that will be the time for the Eastern Immortal Palace to rise!"
