Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

Anyone who goes into battle shall be executed!

Before Jiang Sheng could finish speaking, sword energy soared into the sky, reaching the highest heavens. The chilling and murderous sword intent permeated the heavens and earth, solidifying into a tangible substance that caused the world to tremble.

Such fierce killing intent made Xuan Yi, Ming Xian, and the others take notice: for Jiang Sheng, with his aloof nature, to unleash such killing intent, it was clear how troublesome Ling Luo and Duo Bao's situation was.

Whether Lingluo and Duobao's fate had anything to do with the Qiankun Dao Sect was no longer important; Jiang Sheng had already sentenced the Qiankun Dao Sect's disciples to death in his heart.

"Their situation is not optimistic."

“Lingyuan, as you know, all sentient beings have three souls and true spirits. Among them, the Heavenly Soul and Earthly Soul roam outside, while the Life Soul and True Spirit reside within the body.”

"Now, the two of them no longer have life souls, only true spirits, and even these true spirits are covered with a layer of dust. This is not an ordinary curse."

"They may seem to be able to control themselves right now, but in reality, their lives and fortunes are already in the hands of others. If others exert any influence, Lingluo and Duobao will become the blades that pierce you."

"Such demonic methods are beyond my ability to handle. You should wait for the sect's founder to arrive and ask him for help."

Recalling every word spoken by Yuan Yi Zhenjun, Jiang Sheng could not hide his anger: as fellow members of the Xuanmen Daoist sect, whether attacking the true disciples of other sects or targeting outsiders, they should not have joined forces with the Heavenly Demon to use such despicable means.

The conflict between the Xuanmen sects, whether it involves fighting techniques or witchcraft, is irrelevant.

There's nothing wrong with seizing weaknesses and launching a fierce attack on their vitals.

It's a life-or-death struggle between the two sides; these are all human nature.

But what they shouldn't have done was abandon their own ancestors. The dignified Xuanmen Daoist sect was willing to form an alliance with the Heavenly Demon, and even resorted to such despicable means to attempt a sneak attack. They had truly lost all face!

Seven days later, in Yanzhou.

The northern region of Yanzhou was already in ruins. The remaining three realms of the Qiankun Dao Sect had long since retreated into the eastern and western regions with their disciples. At this time, the northern region of Yanzhou was a smooth road in the eyes of the Eastern Heaven Daoist family.

Millions of Dao soldiers marched straight in, stepping from the Mowan Dao Palace onto the northern region of Yanzhou. They rampaged through the area without encountering any obstacles and arrived at the Dongshan Dao Palace, located at the border between the northern and western regions of Yanzhou.

At this moment, what lay in front of the Dongshan Dao Palace were formations of ten thousand Dao soldiers, siege weapons hundreds or thousands of feet in size, war ships stretching across the sky, and the immortals of the Dongtian Daoist sect who had refined their illusory nature.

Zheng Yuan Zhenjun of Dongshan Dao Palace frowned as he looked at the renowned Daoist Zhenjuns and countless Daoist soldiers outside the palace. Even though the palace's protective array had been activated and was ready to attack, Zheng Yuan Zhenjun still felt a chill run down his spine.

No wonder he was so terrified. Just looking up at the war vessel that almost blotted out the sky, and at the array of Daoist soldiers on the ground exuding murderous aura, was enough to make his scalp tingle.

Meanwhile, aboard the war vessel, Jiang Sheng, Xuan Yi, Ming Xian, Ling Yu, Kong Zhen, Xu Yuanzi, and others stood quietly, looking down at the Dongshan Dao Palace below.

Xuan Yi looked at the colorful protective spiritual light and couldn't help but laugh, "The great formation has been erected for a long time. Judging from its appearance, it is at least a protective formation at the Integration level. It seems that Qiankun Dao Sect is really willing to spend a lot of money."

Xu Yuanzi also said, "That's right, this formation should be the Five Elements Heavenly Light Formation of the Qiankun Dao Sect. It uses the earth veins and stars as a guide to connect the five elements and evolve the ten colors of the sky. It is the best at defense. Ordinary supernatural powers or siege weapons may not be able to break through this mountain-protecting formation."

Mingxian looked at the magic boat beneath his feet. The magic boat they were riding on was a standard war magic boat, 100,000 miles long, carrying many offensive and defensive magic weapons, specifically used for attacking mountains and cities. It also had a Heavenly River Nine Dome Cannon, capable of destroying mountains, rivers, the sun and moon, and shattering stars and the universe.

If we were to use this magic boat beneath our feet to bombard the protective array of the East Mountain Taoist Palace, it might not take more than a few shots.

As he pondered, Mingxian looked at Jiang Sheng, who stood quietly at the bow of the ship. The Taoist priest in the blue crown and black robe stood there with his sword in hand. Although he was clearly filled with killing intent, not a single trace of his aura was leaking out.

To this day, Dongshan Daogong probably still doesn't know who they are facing.

Thinking this, Mingxian suddenly stopped being in a hurry. He wanted to see how Jiang Sheng would deal with the Dongshan Dao Palace, and what kind of expression the Dongshan Dao Palace would have when they saw Jiang Sheng.

Meanwhile, inside the Dongshan Dao Palace, Zheng Yuan Zhenjun was frowning and sighing repeatedly.

"Why is True Lord Zheng Yuan so worried?"

"Hasn't the protective formation of Dongshan Dao Palace already been set up?"

The speaker was dressed in a light pink cloud-patterned palace dress, adorned with a jade hairpin and a swaying ornament in her hair. Her body was wrapped in flowing feathers and her arms were draped with wide sleeves. Her whole body shimmered with pearls and glowed with the rosy light of the sunset. She was a rare and stunningly beautiful fairy.

Beside this fairy stood two other figures of equally stunning beauty.

One was dressed in a snow-covered plum blossom palace dress, holding a jade-scented red plum vase, her black hair tied in a high bun, elegant and graceful, with a cool and aloof air.

One was dressed in a plain jade-patterned palace dress, with a silver-embroidered belt around her waist and a flowing feather-trimmed shawl over her shoulders. Her almond-shaped eyes were delicate and her demeanor was serene and elegant, like autumn.

Zheng Yuan Zhenjun looked at the three stunningly beautiful fairies beside him, took a deep breath, and tried to appear less apprehensive.

After all, those who came to his aid at this time were three renowned fairy maidens from all the heavens and myriad realms.

The three fairy maidens of the Three Realms, Mei Jiang, Lan Zhen, and Tao Wan, each have their own unique charm. They are all peerless fairies who can topple kingdoms, and all have profound Taoist cultivation.

With these three coming to support him, Zheng Yuan Zhenjun felt half relieved: "If the three fairies had not come, I would have had no chance at all. But since the fairies have come, I will defend this Dongshan Dao Palace to the death."

Zheng Yuan Zhenjun would not forget the requirements given to him by Han Yuan Zhenjun: if there are no reinforcements, retreat slowly; if there are reinforcements, weigh them first.

Now that the three fairy maidens of the Three Realms are here, how could True Lord Zhengyuan possibly choose to avoid battle?
After some thought, Zhenjun Zhengyuan smiled and said, "Now that reinforcements have arrived, I intend to test the strength of the Mountain and River Dao Sect. What do you three fairies think?"

Tao Wan looked at the densely packed Eastern Heaven Daoist army outside the Eastern Mountain Daoist Palace, stuck out her tongue, and pretended not to hear what Zheng Yuan Zhenjun said, feigning fear: "Oh my, there must be at least five million Daoist soldiers, right? As expected of the Eastern Heaven Daoist, they make such a big move right away, it's really frightening."

Lan Zhen smiled faintly: "A single formation consists of ten thousand Dao soldiers. I just glanced at it, and there are a full eight hundred formations. Arranged here are eight million Dao soldiers of the Eastern Heaven Daoist School, and at least one million of them are mid-grade Dao soldiers."

"As for the war ships, they brought at least eight thousand of them at once. They are clearly here to sweep across the Eastern Region. They are full of ambition and confidence now."

Tao Wan looked at Zheng Yuan Zhenjun and said with a charming smile, "Zheng Yuan Zhenjun is right. Now that they have set up such a big formation outside the Dongshan Dao Palace, if we don't test their strength, we'll probably be scared to death."

"I wonder if True Lord Zheng Yuan dares to go out and fight against the Eastern Heaven Daoists?" As she finished speaking, Tao Wan's voice carried a hint of allure. Seeing the bright peach blossoms and flowing pink petals all around, True Lord Zheng Yuan couldn't help but feel a little bewildered.

Since they are unorthodox practitioners, how could the three fairies, who are famous throughout the heavens, not have any tricks up their sleeves? And how could they be foolish and reckless fools?

At this moment, it was Tao Wan who was casting a spell to influence Zheng Yuan Zhenjun's consciousness, while Lan Zhen and Mei Jiang were also working together to confuse Zheng Yuan's soul with the power of the three beauties.

Unbeknownst to us, the delicate fragrance of plum blossoms and orchids filled the air, its sweet aroma captivating and enchanting.

Seeing Tao Wan's sweet smile, Zheng Yuan Zhenjun was bewitched and listened to her words, saying repeatedly, "Fairy Tao Wan, rest assured, I, Zheng Yuan, am not a coward. I will go and find out."

As he spoke, True Monarch Zheng Yuan actually stepped out of the mountain-protecting formation, rising into the air and unleashing his mid-stage Void Refinement aura, shouting loudly: "You traitors of the Mountain and River Dao Sect, who dares to come out?"

Before he could finish speaking, a dazzling sword light slashed down from above!
The sword light was majestic and righteous, containing the intent of the three calamities and the breath of the end of the world. Its power soared into the sky and broke through the void, and its might suppressed all directions.

As the mottled sword light descended from the sky, Zheng Yuan Zhenjun felt as if a great calamity was about to befall him. His mind and soul suddenly became clear. He stared intently at the rapidly descending sword light. How could Zheng Yuan Zhenjun not understand that he had been tricked by the three beauties?

Before he could utter a curse, the sword flashed and blood splattered.

Zheng Yuan Zhenjun was beheaded in mid-air by a single sword strike. As the sword light swept past, his soul and spirit were annihilated by the intent of the Three Calamities, and he perished on the spot.

Only then did a soft chant ring out: "Intercept Heaven."

Inside the Dongshan Taoist Palace, Tao Wan was laughing and joking with her two older sisters just a moment ago, saying something like "Let that idiot Zheng Yuan go to his death." The next moment, her expression changed drastically, and her face lost all its charisma, leaving only a pale and fearful expression.

At this moment, not only Tao Wan, but also the eldest sister Mei Jiang and the second sister Lan Zhen among the three sisters all looked terrified. Their original calm and composed elegance had long since disappeared. Looking at the sword light that shimmered in the sky and the sword intent that condensed and did not dissipate in the air, the three sisters looked at each other and felt as if their hearts were about to jump out of their throats.

Tao Wan no longer dared to be arrogant. Her body trembled uncontrollably as she gripped her older sister's arm tightly: "Sister, it's...it's Ling Yuan!"

"It's Penglai Spirit Abyss!"

Lan Zhen's face was deathly pale, and she didn't even feel Tao Wan gripping her arm tightly, almost drawing blood. At this moment, the most intelligent of the three beauties was staring intently at the war ark that blotted out the sky.

Even though she couldn't sense Jiang Sheng's aura or see him, Lan Zhen immediately recognized the enemy she was facing the moment that sword was unleashed: "Penglai. Lingyuan!"

Penglai Spirit Abyss!

This name is deeply etched in the hearts of the three sisters, imprinted in their minds, making it difficult for them to sleep day and night.

In the Buzhou Realm, Jiang Sheng, alone with his sword, first stopped the nine of them with his own strength, and then fought against the Fourteen Cave Masters in the ensuing battle.

It's no wonder, no oddity. True water, true fire, immortality, and even the carp, muddy water dragon, and long-armed ape from the Great Wilderness Realm—every single one of them died under his sword!
Especially in that battle where nine people surrounded Jiang Sheng, even though Zhen Shui and Zhen Huo used their time-reversing supernatural powers, the three sisters still had their heads chopped off by Jiang Sheng three times in a row!

How could the three of them possibly forget the feeling of a longsword slicing through their throats and severing their spines, the memory of their souls and spirits vanishing together?!
Penglai Lingyuan, wielding the Taiyi Qingping Sword, is practicing the Three Calamities and Tribulations Extinction Scripture.

That Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique is enough to make anyone tremble at the mere mention of it!

And right now, Penglai Spirit Abyss is right in front of them!

Tao Wan suddenly regretted sending Zheng Yuan out to her death. If Zheng Yuan were still alive, the four of them working together could at least keep the mountain-protecting formation going for a little longer. If all else failed, they could wait a moment and let Jiang Sheng make the first move, then they could abandon Zheng Yuan and escape.

But now, Zheng Yuan is dead, and they are trapped in this Dongshan Dao Palace, while outside is Ling Yuan, that god of death. How can they not be worried and terrified?
Jiang Sheng, who had just killed Zheng Yuan with a single sword strike, looked at the three familiar figures in the Five Elements Heavenly Light Array of the Dongshan Dao Palace. His pupils contracted, and then a sharp glint flashed in his eyes: "I spared your lives in the Buzhou Realm, yet you still dare to come to this Nine Provinces Realm to seek death."

"Is that really true?"

"act recklessly!"

As the last sentence fell, Jiang Sheng suddenly drew his sword and stepped into the void. In an instant, boundless and sharp sword energy appeared between heaven and earth. The power of the four elements of wind, thunder, water, and fire swept across the vast sky, evolving into the color of chaos.

The wind howled fiercely in the east, the fire raged fiercely in the south, the lightning flashed in the west, and the waters surged in the north. Amidst this ceaseless turmoil of wind, thunder, water, and fire, a vast chaos enveloped the Eastern Mountain Taoist Palace, and the Three Calamities manifested, drawing down the aura of calamity.

In an instant, the calamities of the four symbols manifested in heaven and earth, the three tribulations of refining the void swept across the nine heavens, the breath of the final calamity galloped through all the heavens, and the intent of calamity and destruction covered all directions.

The three maidens inside the Dongshan Dao Palace gazed at the overwhelming aura of calamity and impending doom, feeling as if the world itself was about to crumble and fall apart in an instant, as if an unparalleled sword were shattering this world, extinguishing the sun and moon, dimming the stars, and condemning all things to their ultimate demise.
Above the Dongshan Dao Palace, Jiang Sheng slowly drew his sword with an indifferent expression. In an instant, the Three Calamities converged on the sword's edge, and the Four Symbols flowed between the sword's body. The blue lotus covering the black blade of the Qingping Sword slowly bloomed, revealing a dazzling glimmer of time's sharpness.

Jiang Sheng glared at the Dongshan Dao Palace below. The Qingping Sword in his hand could no longer suppress the terrifying power that was destroying heaven and earth. At this moment, accompanied by the cries of cranes and the roar of dragons, the Three Calamities and Four Symbols and the intent of destruction and annihilation surged and splashed unrestrainedly, shattering and destroying the surrounding space and causing the void to be stirred and disordered.

"Eldest sister! Second sister!"

Tao Wan's expression had begun to contort, and she gripped Mei Jiang and Lan Zhen's hands tightly, unable to conceal the fear and anger in her heart.

Mei Jiang and Lan Zhen were in no better shape. The usually calm and composed Lan Zhen's eyes were almost red, while Mei Jiang was trembling uncontrollably, as if she were having a battle with heaven and earth.

Finally, Mei Jiang roared, "Maintain the mountain-protecting formation with all your might, survive this sword strike and then run!"

Before the words were finished, the heavens and earth darkened, the sun and moon vanished, and in the vast chaos, there was no sound of death. There was no gentle breeze, no fire, no water, and no thunder.

As Mei Jiang, Lan Zhen, and Tao Wan practically burned their immortal essence, pouring all their magical power into the Five Elements Heavenly Light Array of the Dongshan Dao Palace, and the entire Five Elements Heavenly Light Array burst forth with dazzling brilliance, a sword light also leaped out from the light and time, fluttering like a butterfly, and slashed towards the Dongshan Dao Palace.

In an instant, all things in the world vanished into nothingness, with only the sound of rushing water echoing across the universe, as if a colorful river were flowing through this place, splashing water droplets.

That tiny splash of water, however, is an unbearable burden for billions of living beings, especially for those in the Upper Three Realms.

In a short while, a soft murmur seemed to rise on the wind.

"Intercepting the Heavens - Observing the Past." (End of Chapter)
