Stealing the Heavens.

Chapter 212 The Gatekeeper of the Immortal Realm (Happy Year of the Snake, May All Your Wishes Come True)
The Tianyun Continent has never experienced such severe weather; one can feel the cold, dark clouds just by standing on the ground.

Moreover, the dark clouds grew thicker and thicker, as if countless stars were pressing down, forcing even the Palace Master of Jixuan Palace to prostrate herself on the ground.

All the palaces on the clouds above the Central Continent were shattered, and countless cultivators were killed or injured!

Fear quickly swept across the entire Tianyun Continent, and the feeling of impending doom plunged all life into despair.

As dark clouds pressed down on the earth, Zi Dong was kicked out of the temple and crashed onto the top of the sacred mountain, while the temple also landed on his right hand.

The Second Elder and the other members of the temple, who were terrified by the sudden change in the world on the mountaintop, stared in even greater horror at Zi Dong and his right hand that had suddenly appeared!

"Second Elder, please lead everyone in." Zi Dongchong raised his right hand.

"Palace Master, let's stay on the mountaintop," the Second Elder hurriedly refused in alarm.

Zi Dong has completely taken control of the temple, and he dares not entrust his own and his people's lives entirely to Zi Dong.

Non-my family, its heart must be different!
Even the temple master won't do!
"The gate to the Immortal Realm is about to open. If you don't want to die, Second Elder, you should lead your clan into the temple!"

Zi Dong gave a cold command, then raised his hand and threw the temple into the air, where it rapidly expanded.

"Palace Master, what about you?" The Second Elder asked after a moment's hesitation, gazing at the enlarged temple.

"As the temple master, I will naturally protect the temple!" Zi Dong glanced coldly at the second elder, then walked towards the teleportation array.

"Master, the teleportation array is no longer usable," the Scorpion King hurriedly reported.

"You two should also enter the temple," Zi Dong said helplessly, glancing up at the rapidly descending dark clouds.

Without any hesitation, the Scorpion King and the Fox King flew into the temple immediately after Zi Dong gave the order.

"Second Elder, are you going in or not? I'm about to leave." Zi Dong glanced at the crowd.

"Palace Master, where are you going?" the Second Elder asked quickly.

“Naturally, we’ll return to the Eastern Continent,” Zi Dong said calmly.

"Then, let's go inside." The Second Elder looked up at the dark clouds that were pressing down and finally made up his mind.

The two elders, Zi Dong and the others, entered the temple, immediately retrieved it, and then flew rapidly towards the Central Continent.

When he flew to Xidao City, the entire western continent was silent, and all life in Xidao City looked at the churning sky in terror.

"Qingwu, Aishang, is the teleportation array working?" Zidong asked, hovering high in the sky.

"Zi Dong, come down quickly, the dark clouds are dangerous!" Feng Qingwu shouted urgently.

"With righteous energy, nothing will happen." Zi Dong waved his hand casually, and the golden light immediately dispersed the dark clouds that were pressing down.

"Lord, the teleportation array is no longer usable!" Ai Shang called out with relief.

"You stay here and mobilize the righteous energy to protect Xidao City. I'll go to the Central Continent to see if I can find a way to repair the teleportation array."

Zi Dong gave an order, waved his hand, leaving behind a vast expanse of righteous energy, and then flew rapidly towards the Central Continent.

He didn't know what the dark clouds were. If they were from the celestial realm, why would they be afraid of the righteous energy?
The entire Tianyun Continent was eerily quiet. All life seemed to be prostrating on the ground in devout worship of gods and immortals, and even the trees were no exception.

Zi Dong flew to the Central Continent without any hindrance, and the Zhongtian Peak, surrounded by golden light, still stood tall.

"Xinyu, how is it?" Zi Dong landed on the top of Zhongtian Peak and woke Zhou Xinyu, who was meditating.

"Zi Dong, you're finally back!" Zhou Xinyu jumped up excitedly and hugged Zi Dong tightly.

"What happened?" Zi Dong was startled and quickly searched the entire Central Continent, worried that something might have happened to the Daoist cultivators.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Zhou Xinyu's face turned red, and she quickly broke free from Zi Dong's embrace.

"Is the teleportation array still working?" Zi Dong had been searching the Central Continent, so he hadn't noticed anything unusual about Zhou Xinyu.

“The Eastern Continent works, but the other three continents don’t,” Zhou Xinyu quickly replied. “How is the Eastern Continent now?” Zi Dong immediately sat cross-legged beside the teleportation array.

"All the cultivators from the Eastern Continent have also collapsed!" Zhou Xinyu couldn't help but chuckle, her appearance was truly hilarious.

"I will immediately transmit the Righteous Qi!" Zi Dong said solemnly.

Seeing that Zi Dong quickly entered a meditative state, Zhou Xinyu sat down beside him with peace of mind.

When the dark clouds pressed down, Zhou Xinyu kept mobilizing her righteous energy to resist them, which consumed a great deal of her energy.

Zi Dong soon discovered that his speed in condensing righteous energy had increased by more than a hundred times.

"A purple aura is coming from the east, what's going on?" Zi Dong asked in shock through his divine sense.

【Great news!】Donglai Ziqi was quite excited, like a child receiving a beloved toy.

"What great news?" Zi Dong was taken aback by Dong Lai Zi Qi's excitement.

"Your righteous energy is upgrading; you're about to become an immortal!" Donglai Ziqi said smugly.

"Upgrade?" Zi Dong quickly realized, "You mean righteous energy is magic power?"

"It's not yet magical power, but it can be called immortal power," explained Donglai Ziqi.

"Then what are these dark clouds?" Zi Dong also began to get excited.

"It's demonic energy invading the immortal realm," Donglai Ziqi said nonchalantly.

"Why isn't it celestial energy?" Zi Dong was stunned. Why would demonic energy from the celestial realm descend?
"Because you opened the gate to the celestial realm, the immortals will naturally have to drive out the demonic energy," said Donglai Ziqi gloatingly.

"Can righteous energy counteract this demonic energy?" Zi Dong asked with some concern.

"What's demonic energy? Even immortal energy can be refined into righteous energy!" Donglai Ziqi said arrogantly.

Zi Dong didn't ask any more questions and immediately continued to condense his righteous energy. What about the Immortal Realm?
In just half an hour, golden light shot into the sky from Zhongtian Peak, and the dark clouds disappeared without a trace.

A massive portal appeared, gleaming with golden light, standing in stark contrast to the righteous spirit!
Zi Dong ignored him and continued to cultivate his righteous energy, as he wanted to save the Eastern Continent first.

Countless righteous energies entered Donglai City directly through the teleportation array, and then rapidly spread from Donglai City to the entire Eastern Continent.

The Taoist cultivators quickly straightened up and cheered as they watched the dark clouds being rapidly pushed back into the sky by the golden light.

Just as the dark clouds over the Eastern Continent were about to be dispelled by the golden light, three white-haired old men suddenly appeared from the huge portal at the top of Zhongtian Peak.

"Boy, who are you from the East?" The purple-robed elder in the middle asked Zi Dong sternly.

Zi Dong was forced to stop refining his technique. The shout struck his very soul, and even the purple aura from the east was enraged.

"Is he asking about the Dao Ancestor Donglai?" Zi Dong quickly asked in his divine sense.

"Tell him that you are a descendant of the Eastern Dao Ancestor," Donglai Ziqi said angrily.

"Who are you?" Zi Dong did not answer directly, but stood up and asked sharply.

"I am the gatekeeper of the immortal realm," the purple-robed old man said, stroking his beard.

"Are those two gatekeepers too?" Zi Dong asked, pointing to the old man in yellow robes and the old man in black robes beside the old man in purple robes.

"Boy, how dare you be disrespectful to the gatekeeper of the Immortal Realm!" Before the purple-robed elder could speak, the yellow-robed elder and the black-robed elder were both furious.

"The Immortal Realm is truly amazing; even the gatekeepers are so arrogant!"

Zi Dong became even angrier, and with a wave of his hand, he shot out countless golden arrows, which rushed straight towards the three old men.
