In his later years, he was backstabbed by his third wife, and he awakened the Wei Xiaobao system

In the heart of the Northern Wilderness, the ruins of the former Hunyuan Taoist Alliance are shrouded in thick fog.

Among the ruins, a mottled stone carving with the words "Hunyuan" is half-hidden under the dust, like an old man in his twilight years, quietly witnessing the decline of the once glorious Taoist tradition.

Li Qingfeng arrived here three days in advance and personally arranged the venue.

He was seen holding the Heaven-Slaying Sword, and the No Disaster Pattern on the sword shone with a faint light, attracting the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

In a flash, a suspended white jade platform slowly rose in the center of the ruins, its lustrous luster like moonlight.

Around the platform, Li Qingfeng used his powerful spiritual power to carve mysterious totems symbolizing the seven nations and four major factions. The totems' lines were dynamic and spiritual, as if they spoke of the impending event.

On the day of the meeting, representatives from the four major forces came in droves.

The Dan Emperor of the Skyfire Dan League was dressed in a gorgeous robe embroidered with gilded alchemy patterns, with his sleeves fluttering in the wind. Behind him followed twelve elite disciples, each of whom carried an ancient-style alchemy furnace on their backs. The rich aroma of the elixir filled the air, as if it could penetrate into the soul and invigorate people.

Long Xiao, the master of Zhenlong Valley, rode atop a glacial beast radiating a bone-chilling chill. Wherever he passed, a thin layer of ice formed on the ground. The elders of the valley led various demonic beasts, some shaped like giant pythons, their scales gleaming with cold light, while others resembled ferocious tigers, their bodies encircled by blazing flames.

The roars of these monsters intertwined together, making the air buzz.

Yutian, the leader of the Yutian Divine Sect, stood on a long sword that was shining brightly. Runes were flickering on the sword, and behind him, a hundred sword cultivators formed a sword formation. The sword intent in the sword formation was rampant, like a sharp blade, as if to tear the space apart.

Xuan Yangzi, the leader of the Xuan Yang Dao Sect, arrived on a cloud chariot supported by talismans. Glittering runes floated around the chariot, interweaving with each other and emitting a mysterious humming sound. Xuan Yangzi was also shrouded in a faint halo, appearing mysterious and unpredictable.

The monarchs of the seven kingdoms also attended the event with their important ministers.

Behind the monarch of the Great Qin State, the Black Armor Army was lined up in neat formations. The black armor gleamed coldly in the sunlight, like an indestructible steel fortress.

The advisors of the Great Chu State were dressed in long robes and whispered to each other, their eyes revealing wisdom and thought, as if they were weighing the pros and cons of the meeting.

Li Qingfeng stood in the center of the platform, his posture as straight as a pine tree. He clasped his fists and said loudly, "It is a great blessing for the Northern Wilderness that you all can gather here. Although the former Hunyuan Dao League has disappeared, the demon clan is now rampant. Only by reuniting the forces of all parties can we protect the people of the Northern Wilderness."

However, as soon as Li Qingfeng finished speaking, the Yutian Sect Master sneered and instantly unsheathed his longsword half an inch. The sharp sword intent, like an invisible edge, pointed directly in the direction of Zhenlong Valley. "If we want to rebuild the Taoist Alliance, some things must be made clear first! Zhenlong Valley raises monster beasts, so what's the difference between them and the monster tribe? How can we ensure that they won't become accomplices of the monster tribe?"

When Long Xiao heard this, his eyes widened in anger and he slapped the Ice Scale Beast fiercely.

The Ice Scale Beast raised its head and let out an earth-shaking roar. Cold air filled its surroundings and turned into a white ice mist that enveloped the area several feet around it.

"Old Yutian! I, the Dragon Valley, tamed beasts to fight against the demon race. Meanwhile, your Yutian Divine Sect, relying on your superior swordsmanship, has repeatedly and wantonly robbed other factions of their cultivation resources. How do you explain this?"

Seeing this, Xuan Yangzi quickly waved his whisk, trying to calm the dispute. "Please don't damage the harmony between the two of you. The most important thing right now is to discuss the structure of the Dao Alliance, not to blame each other. However, the Tianhuo Alchemy Alliance has always practiced alchemy behind closed doors. If resources are not evenly distributed, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to work together in the future."

The Alchemy Emperor played with the jade alchemy cauldron in his hand, a hint of contempt in his eyes: "Xuan Yangzi, your Xuan Yang Dao Sect's talismans may be powerful, but the rare materials needed to refine them, which one of them was not obtained by exchanging elixirs from our Alchemy Alliance?"

For a moment, the four major forces each held their own views, and fierce quarrels arose one after another, as if they were going to break through the thick clouds above the ruins.

The monarchs of the seven kingdoms were also whispering to each other, and the atmosphere on the scene was tense, like a powder keg ready to explode at any time.

Li Qingfeng looked solemn, with a hint of determination in his eyes, and suddenly he thrust the Heaven-Slaying Sword into the platform.

In an instant, the calamity-free pattern on the sword shone brightly, and an invisible yet powerful pressure quickly spread from the platform, like an invisible force, forcibly interrupting the quarrel.

"Everyone!"

Li Qingfeng's voice resounded throughout the venue like a huge bell, making everyone's ears buzz.

"The Hunyuan Dao League collapsed due to constant internal strife. Now that the demon army is approaching, if we continue to argue over these trivial matters, what difference will it make us suicidal? Master Yutian, the beast-taming techniques of the Dragon Suppression Valley, if used on the battlefield, can defeat thousands of troops. Master Longxiao Valley, the sword formations of the Yutian Divine Sect can protect the rear. The talismans of the Xuanyang Dao Sect can set up numerous ambushes. The elixirs of the Tianhuo Dan League can save lives in critical moments. We each have our strengths, and only by complementing each other can we achieve great things!"

Seeing everyone gradually calm down, Li Qingfeng struck while the iron was hot and continued, "I propose that the Dao Alliance establish four halls and one pavilion. The Law Enforcement Hall will be jointly managed by the Imperial Heavenly Divine Sect and the Seven Nations Armies, responsible for overseeing the implementation of the alliance; the Spirit Beast Hall will be led by the Dragon Suppression Valley, focusing on training war beasts; the Alchemy and Talisman Pavilion will be jointly managed by the Skyfire Alchemy Alliance and the Xuanyang Dao Sect, dedicated to the research and development of elixirs and talismans; and the Council Pavilion will be presided over by representatives from each party on a rotating basis, and major matters will be decided jointly. This arrangement will safeguard the interests of all parties."

The Alchemy Emperor gently stroked the alchemy cauldron in his hand, pondered for a moment, and said, "That sounds quite fair, but the details of resource allocation must be worked out in detail and recorded clearly in black and white."

Xuan Yangzi nodded in agreement: "Indeed, we need to establish a Supervisory Elder, a highly respected individual nominated by all parties."

Long Xiao snorted coldly and asked, "What should be done if someone violates the covenant?"

Li Qingfeng's eyes were determined, like the brightest stars in the night sky. "The Heaven-Slaying Sword is the weapon of our alliance. Anyone who violates the covenant, regardless of their status, will be personally dealt with by me!"

As he spoke, he moved his mind and activated the Heaven-Slashing Sword. A sharp sword energy whistled out, streaking across the sky like a flash of lightning, instantly slicing off a corner of a distant mountain, sending rubble raining down.

This powerful display of strength shocked everyone present.

The leader of the Yutian Sect put away his sword, clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "Since that is the case, my Yutian Divine Sect is willing to serve the Dao Alliance."

Long Xiao also patted the Ice Scale Beast gently to indicate his agreement.

With Li Qingfeng's skillful mediation, the four major forces finally reached a consensus, and the monarchs of the seven countries also expressed their support.

After discussing the structure of the Taoist Alliance, everyone immediately set about cleaning up the ruins.

When Li Qingfeng led everyone to clean up a collapsed base of the main hall, the Zhantian Sword that he had been wearing at his waist suddenly made a low humming sound.

The calamity-free patterns on the sword echoed with the ancient patterns on the ground, creating a strong resonance. Then, the ground cracked open, revealing a deep, dark entrance. An ancient and mysterious aura filled the air.

"This is... the underground secret realm of the Hunyuan Dao League!"

Xuan Yangzi stared at the shimmering runes at the entrance, his expression excited, his voice trembling slightly, "It's rumored that the first leader of the Dao League left a shocking secret here."

Everyone took out their lighting tools, and the lights of the tools lit up, illuminating the dark passage.

The passage was filled with defensive restrictions. Runes would light up at regular intervals, either shooting out sharp sword energy or spewing out blazing flames.

Relying on his profound understanding of Dao patterns in the realm of inner demons, Li Qingfeng led everyone to carefully break the ban.

The deeper they went, the wider the space became, and finally, they arrived at a huge underground space.

In this space, countless unfinished fragments of formation diagrams are suspended in the air, emitting a faint and mysterious light.

In the center, a huge ancient formation frame stands tall, but the center of the formation is missing and the formation pattern is broken, which shows that it is not yet completed.

The fragments of the battle formation were engraved with obscure words and strange patterns. Some of them depicted the grand scenes of fierce battles between humans and demons. The blood dyed the earth red, and the two sides fought in darkness.

Some depict monks working together to form a battle formation. Their expressions are focused, their spiritual energy surges, as if they are constructing a powerful barrier to protect the world.

"The scale of this formation is so grand that it is definitely not comparable to ordinary formations."

The Dan Emperor stared at the fragments of the formation diagram, his brows furrowed, his expression solemn. "If this can be completed, it will probably be enough to shake the world."

Long Xiao reached out and touched the formation pillar, suddenly exclaiming, "Look! This formation pillar has the beast-taming runes of our Dragon Valley and the sword patterns of the Yutian Divine Sect!"

Upon hearing this, everyone came closer to take a look.

Sure enough, marks were found on the formation diagram that combined the unique elements of the four major forces, and even the totemic symbols of the seven countries could be seen. These elements intertwined with each other, as if telling of the unity and struggle in the past.

Xuan Yangzi seemed to be lost in thought before he slowly said, "It seems the first leader had long intended to integrate the forces of the Northern Wilderness, but met with an unexpected disaster before he could complete his plan. This formation may be the Dao Alliance's ultimate weapon against the demon race."

Li Qingfeng pondered for a long time, then said with a determined gaze, "No matter what, this ancient formation is the key to rebuilding the Dao Alliance. If we work together to repair it, it may become a powerful trump card against the demon clan. However, to repair this formation, we need to gather the treasures of the four major forces and the national destiny of the seven countries."

The leader of the Yutian Sect nodded in agreement: "The Yutian Sword, the most precious treasure of our Yutian Sect, can be used as one of the core points of the formation."

Long Xiao also said: "My 'Ice Unicorn Horn' from Zhenlong Valley can enhance the defensive capabilities of the formation." Xuan Yangzi and Dan Huang also expressed their willingness to offer their sect's treasures.

Although the monarchs of the seven kingdoms looked hesitant, in the face of justice, they finally agreed to pool their national strength to help.

The work of repairing the ancient formation officially began.

Li Qingfeng directed everyone to work together in an orderly manner based on the instructions on the fragments of the formation diagram.

The sword cultivators of the Yutian Divine Sect used their powerful sword intent to outline the array patterns. As the sword shadows flickered, lines containing powerful force gradually took shape.

The monks in Zhenlong Valley drove the monster beasts to move the huge array stones. Although the monster beasts were huge in size, they moved in an orderly manner under the command of the monks and placed the heavy array stones accurately.

The talisman masters of Xuanyang Taoist Sect drew auxiliary runes. The runes flashed with mysterious light and echoed with the array patterns.

The alchemists of the Skyfire Pill Alliance were concentrating on refining the special elixir needed to repair the formation diagram. Flames blazed in the cauldrons, and the aroma of the elixir filled the entire underground space.

However, the restoration process was not smooth sailing.

When everyone repaired the center of the formation, the ancient formation suddenly erupted with a strong backlash force.

A black vortex instantly formed at the center of the formation, emitting an astonishing suction force, as if it was going to swallow up everything around it.

The monks who approached lost their balance and were almost sucked in.

Upon seeing this, Li Qingfeng immediately used his inner demon perception to guide everyone to integrate their own strength into the Heaven-Slaying Sword.

The Heaven-Slaying Sword shone brightly, transforming into a dazzling beam of light, engaging in a fierce confrontation with the black vortex.

"Everyone, hold steady! Inject your strength according to the order on the formation diagram!"

Li Qingfeng shouted loudly, his voice firm and powerful, giving everyone a shot of adrenaline.

Everyone gritted their teeth and persevered with all their might.

The four major forces' treasures shone at the same time, merging with the national destiny power condensed by the seven countries to form a dazzling light.

Under the impact of this powerful force, the black vortex gradually shrank and was eventually completely suppressed.

After 49 days of unremitting efforts, the ancient formation was finally restored.

The entire ancient formation radiated dazzling light, and the patterns on the formation diagram were like flowing galaxies, constantly flowing, as if containing endless power.

Li Qingfeng slowly inserted the Heaven-Slaying Sword into the center of the formation. The Dao Alliance's new symbol—a rune that combined the totems of the seven nations and the symbols of the four major forces—slowly rose in the center of the formation.

"From now on, the Hunyuan Taoist Alliance will reappear in the Northern Wilderness! This formation is the foundation of the Taoist Alliance, protecting all living beings and resisting the demon clan!" Li Qingfeng's voice echoed in the underground space for a long time, and everyone cheered in unison.

At this point, all the forces in the Northern Wilderness have truly united to face the upcoming demon war, and this ancient formation will become their strongest barrier to protect their homeland.
