The real world, Song Lin awakens.

Walking out of the Heavenly Master's Dojo, there were significantly fewer people in Xuanyu City.

In front of the dojo was the White Jade Square, which was carved with mountains and rivers in relief. With the shifting of light and mist, the contents of the relief would change slightly accordingly.

Upon seeing the contents of the relief, Song Lin roughly understood what was going on.

The red lights above represented the enemy, while the white dots were their own people. The sky filled with red and white lights, indicating that both sides were engaged in battle.

Song Lin proceeded to the Civil and Martial Arts Academy, where most of the people staying were ordinary personnel on duty, responsible for maintaining basic internal operations.

Shi Yinhua and others had already gone to the battlefield, either fighting in person or directing the battle.

The Civil Academy handled governance and logistics, while the Military Academy managed all wartime allocations, led by War God Chi You.

To the east of the Taoist Alliance, here lay the natural defense of the Yangtze River, in the downstream area of the divided watershed. The river splits into dozens of tributaries here, appearing from above like a giant dragon lying on the earth.

The mountain ridge surrounded by these rivers is called Dragon Ridge.

Dragon Ridge is a critical point in this area, gathering the earth veins and energy of a thousand miles around. Once occupied, it offers control towards the north, directly pointing to the east, and allows attacks on the center, showcasing its significance.

Currently, Dragon Ridge is occupied by the members of the Donghua Taoist Alliance.

Roar!~

The Tianpeng Demon Lord spread its wings, covering a thousand miles, with countless black feathers, poison fire, and sound blades raining down.

The term Demon Lord refers to the leader of a Harmonization Level demon clan, specifically the Black Flame Demon Lord who was second among the three great demon lords of the Tianpeng clan.

The moment the divine skills were unleashed, the sun and moon lost their light, and the attack range extended a thousand miles, causing devastation.

Beneath him were eagles, vultures, crows, iron bulls, and pangolins leading a demon army of a hundred thousand, along with a million half-demons and humans.

This army was led by the Dragon Head Black Tiger and Netherworld Qilin, with the Kui Niu supporting the three major Harmonization Demon Lords. On the human side were Emperor Netherworld Dragon and Yinn Nan Heavenly Master.

Each displayed a dharma body at least a thousand feet tall, creating an oppressive atmosphere, suffocating those present.

The hordes of half-demons and humans, like dark clouds, either sat in the clouds or charged on the ground.

The Tianpeng's Black Flame intentionally avoided them, but some collateral damage was inevitable.

Atop the mountain was an orderly gathering of the human clan, with half of the Heaven, Earth, and Human forces present.

Among them were fifty thousand human warriors clad in bright, shining equipment.

Most martial artists, after decades of cultivation and equipped with bright weapons, could easily kill ordinary Qi Refining and Spirit Stabilizing little demons. Even at the Martial Saint level, defeating Core Formation cultivators wasn't out of reach.

On the surface, their numbers seemed slightly fewer than the demons, but their actual strength wasn't much different.

Of course, more importantly, there were forty thousand main forces of Heaven, Earth, Human, and Demon.

Faced with the aggressively advancing demons, Chi You had long revealed his dharma body to confront Tianpeng in the air.

The Spirit Treasure Celestial Master wielded the Heaven and Earth Xuan Sect to stabilize the formation, alongside several Heavenly Masters and the Ghost Emperor, directly facing the demon army.

"Kill!"

Heaven and Earth Xuan Sect, demon dharma images, zombie drought evil, and the Ghost Emperor's domain clashed, instantly causing heaven and earth upheaval.

Tianpeng's Black Flame Poison Fire was powerless against them, but the people below were different.

With this round of attacks, casualties were likely to reach half.

However, dealing with these was not the responsibility of Chi You and the main forces.

The Taoist Alliance had clear divisions of labor, typically assigning defense tasks to the Earth Army.

In the Earth Army camp, Yuanbo revealed a dharma body, depicted as a fierce blue-faced Ghost King. Behind him were nine black rings, representing the Nine Child Demons.

Beside him stood another Ghost King, a dark-skinned Wind Evil.

Although on the surface, the Earth Army's leader seemed to be the Drought Evil, the true commander was Yuanbo at the Primordial Spirit Stage, considering that entity lacked spiritual wisdom.

At this moment, magicians from the Taoist Alliance stood beside Yuanbo.

"Prepare to start."

Yuanbo glanced at the Divine Turtle's group, and after receiving a response, closed his eyes, merging his thoughts with the mountains and rivers.

In the Earth Army, Four Town Chiefs, Mountain Masters, and other deities, and members of the Civil Academy either harnessed their own divine power or borrowed from the Dharma Seals.

Everyone cast spells together.

Heaven and Earth in the Heart.

"Command!"

Boom!

Thousand-mile mountains and rivers began to flow.

Countless multicolored essences of heaven and earth surged skyward like dragons, forming a thick protective barrier against the sky.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Spells crashed down, all blocked by the extending Heaven and Earth Eight Wastelands Array.

This wasn't over yet, Yangtze River tributaries transformed into semi-transparent Water Dragons, with the smallest Water Dragons stretching over a hundred miles long. These Water Dragons charged into the demon formation, moving as if in uninhabited land, even Harmonization Level couldn't control them.

The demon army of a million had already suffered over half casualties by the time they reached the mountain base.

"Taoist friends, get ready."

Shi Yinhua laughed, transforming his body into hazy black mist, from which emerged a White Bone Dharma Form surrounded by the five immortals of fox, white snake, hedgehog, weasel, and mouse.

This dharma form had a resemblance to Song Lin's Twelve Yuan Chen.

Drought Evil and Ghost Emperor, Divine Turtle and Drought Evil were at the forefront resisting the three demon clan Harmonization entities.

"Roar!!"

Netherworld Qilin, with earth-yellow scales and golden pupils, was a ferocious god, different from the legendary auspicious beast Qilin. This Qilin was filled with insidiousness and ferocity.

Boundless yin energy, along with countless evil ghosts and demons.

The Divine Turtle displayed an Ancient Demon Golden Turtle Form, its sacred aura and brilliant golden light slightly dispelling the gloom.

Both sides engaged fiercely.

The remaining found their respective opponents.

The battlefield's atmosphere was extremely chaotic.

Demon energy, righteous energy, evil skills, and righteous path intertwined endlessly.

Ten Thousand Dharma Forms, ground-burrowing demons, hundred-mile Water Dragons, and mountain-dwelling demons inhabited the thousand-mile domain.

The battles between cultivators were extremely explosive, involving sea, land, and air. Each breath and ripple of divine thought was a catastrophe for living beings.

This thousand-mile battlefield resembled a massive meat grinder; the moment war began, ordinary living beings perished entirely.

This place might not be suitable for habitation for hundreds or thousands of years.

Especially the battles between Harmonization Level experts; encountering mountains meant their collapse, encountering water meant their drying up.

It was impossible for such expert battles to deliberately avoid collateral damage, some friendly fire was inevitable.

This was why the Taoist Alliance had initially forbidden Heavenly Master Level cultivators from acting; even the Primordial Spirit Level was highly destructive, let alone Harmonization.

Amidst the intense battlefield, a streak of golden light appeared.

It turned out to be Song Lin, who had been in seclusion for sixteen years.

His Nine-Transformation Golden Body and Three-headed Six-armed Dharma Form, along with the Twelve Yuan Chen, displayed their edge to the world.

The moment the dharma form appeared, the Pure Yang aura dispelled all demonic and evil energy, subsequently confronting the one-legged Kui Niu with his Primordial Spirit body, fighting a Harmonization single-handedly.

With Song Lin joining in, though not performing on a savior level, it tipped the scales in favor of the human clan on the balanced battlefield.

Having a unique Innate Yang Qi Great Dao, the scorching energy akin to sunlight significantly weakened the demons.

Swiftly, the demons couldn't bear the heavy losses any longer and retreated.

The battle of Dragon Ridge, this crucial combat juncture, ended with a victory for the human clan, leaving the Jiuxiao Demon Country wide open, without strategic initiative anymore.

Post-battle, in the central army tent, Song Lin gathered everyone.

"Heavenly Master's Taoism is becoming increasingly profound. If a Heavenly Master were to reach Harmonization Level, leveraging the advantages of the Innate Dao, we could launch a full offensive."

The Spirit Treasure Celestial Master sighed.

Pure Yang is simply the nemesis of demons, and even the Primordial Spirit can single-handedly combat Harmonization.

"No rush, we can make small advances now, capturing certain strategic points, just don't be too hasty."

Song Lin advised everyone not to act recklessly, nor to remain overly defensive, urging the capture of strategic points to gradually encroach.

The south was their territory; if considering the Xuanzong Shangqing Dao Alliance as their own, only the east, central, and northeast parts remained.

"We'll continue to wear them down; time is on our side."

Song Lin instructed.

His many reincarnations allowed him to grasp a key aspect of Harmonization.

Once achieving Harmonization, it would be time to consolidate the rivers and mountains, unifying the world and establishing the Small Thousand Heavenly Court.

The story world.

Deep within Zhongnan Mountain.

Song Lin sat cross-legged, his dharma body radiating golden light.

He intended to create a magic skill.

This magic skill wasn't simply a cultivation technique or concerned with specific realm breakthroughs, resembling more of a calming meditation technique.

However, this magic vein held his great expectations.

It would become a magic skill penetrating the Donghua Dharma Lineage, accessible to all, emphasizing the cultivation of the mind, essentially a primordial mind-cultivation secret technique.

What are the benefits of this magic skill?

For those at lower realms, it can calm the mind, sharpen awareness, and perceive mysteries; for those at high levels, it facilitates a deeper comprehension of the Great Dao.

Most importantly, it facilitates the transformation of magic veins.

For example, some magic veins that became corrupted due to demon tribulations.

After practicing this secret technique, evil can be turned to righteousness, immediately qualifying one for integration into the Donghua Taoist Alliance.

This magic skill is of utmost importance, crucial for unifying the world.

It is an eternal method.

The fundamental principle is to harness the law by heart and validate the Dao by nature.

This technique integrates Song Lin's life's essence, requiring the world's people to verify the law to perfect this magic vein.

This is also why he aspired to guide all living beings of this world, not just empty words.

As for the name of this technique, it was tentatively called—Taiyi Jinhua Scripture.

Three years later.

Song Lin began cultivation from scratch, taking three years to reach the Primordial Spirit Peak state.

Afterwards, his Yang God descended to save a portion of people.

He did this three times, each time passing through Yueyang, only to find no one seeking enlightenment, instead pursuing fame and fortune.

"Three times entered Yueyang but unrecognized, easily flew over Dongting Lake."

Song Lin lamented, realizing that cultivating the Dao requires opportunity; forcibly pushing it would garner no interest.

Thereafter, he altered his strategy, merely traveling without imparting teachings.

Only if someone was insightful enough to recognize his extraordinariness would he offer teachings; otherwise, no matter how talented, he wouldn't actively impart knowledge.

Song Lin descended to wander the mundane world, observing its myriad forms, and during his travels, he also sought the reincarnations of the Eight Immortals.

Another ten years passed.

Lvu Chunyang's fame spread far and wide, known by all, and his actions raised concerns in the Heavenly Court, prompting Guanyin to transform into a fairy and descend to personally investigate.
