Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

The sword's shadow fades as it passes, and lush vegetation shines forth on its own.

As the graceful sword light flashed across time, Mei Jiang, Lan Zhen, and Tao Wan were all lost in their memories of the past, unable to extricate themselves from the bygone years.

At the same time, as the sword light flashed, the magnificent and dazzling Five Elements Heavenly Light Array outside the Dongshan Dao Palace cracked and shattered, turning into specks of spiritual light that scattered and faded away.

In an instant, the Five Elements Heavenly Light Array collapsed under Jiang Sheng's sword. All the disciples of the Qiankun Dao Sect of the Dongshan Dao Palace were turned into blood mist and exploded without even a muffled groan.

These disciples of the Qiankun Dao Sect were all ordered to pour all their spiritual power and magical energy into the Five Elements Heavenly Light Array in order to increase the power of the array.

But now that the great formation has been broken by Jiang Sheng's sword, the backlash is like a raging storm. These disciples, who are rare even in the Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation realms, let alone the Upper Three Realms, cannot even stir up a ripple of resistance. They are hit head-on by that wave and are left with only blood mist on the ground.

Following closely behind the disciples of the Qiankun Dao Sect were the Dao soldiers, elders of various halls, and the spirit beasts and exotic creatures from the Dongshan Dao Palace who died.

Every Daoist palace that the Qiankun Daoist Sect has established on the land of Yanzhou can be regarded as a separate Qiankun residence.

A Taoist palace covers millions of miles of mountains and rivers, holding the power of life and death over all living beings. It has its own Hall of Law Enforcement, Hall of Skill Transmission, Hall of Elixir, Hall of Magical Weapons, Hall of Good Deeds, etc., as well as various morning and afternoon classes, and a garden of spiritual herbs and a garden of spiritual beasts.

With immortals from the upper three realms presiding over it, this Dao Palace is almost equivalent to a small immortal sect. Although it cannot compare to the Pure Yang Holy Land and those Mahayana immortal sects, it is small but complete.

When the aftershocks of the shattered Five Elements Heavenly Light Array swept across the entire Dao Palace, the countless beings within it who served the Qiankun Dao Sect faced only one fate: death.

In an instant, the entire Dongshan Dao Palace was filled with wailing and lamentation. The elders of the various halls who were confident in their abilities began to try to escape, and the spirit beasts imprisoned in the spirit beast garden also began to try to escape.

However, they were too slow. Compared to the aftershocks that swept through the entire Dongshan Dao Palace in an instant, they were like ants overturned by a raging storm. Even if they tried their best, they could not escape annihilation.

However, even though the aftershocks of the destruction of the Five Elements Heavenly Light Array crashed against Mei Jiang, Lan Zhen, and Tao Wan like a raging storm, the three of them remained immersed in the fleeting and ephemeral nature of everything before them, unable to break free.

Tap tap tap.
Jiang Sheng landed on the Dongshan Taoist Palace, looking at the palaces, pavilions and towers that had been reduced to ruins, and at the bloodstains and mess on the ground, but his expression did not waver in the slightest: anyone who embarks on the path of cultivation must be prepared to face this day.

If someone is a weak mortal, even those in the three realms of cultivation will intentionally or unintentionally avoid them in a battle. Mortals who do not enter the realm of cultivation are naturally innocent beings, and no one will criticize them. But once one embarks on the path of cultivation, there is no such thing as innocence. The struggle for the Great Dao is nothing more than who is stepping on whom to advance against the current.

Jiang Sheng strolled up to the three fairies and, seeing their struggling expressions, casually swung his Qingping Sword. Three streaks of blood seeped from their fair necks. Without looking back, Jiang Sheng walked forward.

Behind them, the three women finally managed to break free from the sword that had witnessed the past. However, this was not because they had broken free on their own, but because their lives were about to end and all the past events had vanished like smoke.

At this moment, all three of them had been affected by the sword energy. The sword energy of the Three Calamities and the intent of the final calamity destroyed their internal organs and shattered their life force and true spirit. They were no longer alive.

Mei Jiang, Lan Zhen, and Tao Wan stared at each other in astonishment at the bloodstains on their necks.

Tao Wan murmured, "Eldest sister, second sister, shouldn't we have come here?"

Lan Zhen forced a smile: "This is fate, this is the fate of you and me, sisters."

As the bloodstains spread, Tao Wan and Lan Zhen's heads rolled and fell to the ground, their mouths agape but no longer able to utter a sound. Mei Jiang watched as her two beloved younger sisters perished, her eyes bloodshot with grief and indignation. However, the next moment, her head also rolled to the ground, and Mei Jiang realized with shock that she too had lost her life.

Above the sky, three clear and bright Refining Void Life Stars shone brightly at this moment, then dimmed and disintegrated, scattering as a meteor shower that fell upon the land of Yanzhou.

The three immortals, Mei Jiang, Lan Zhen, and Tao Wan, have perished.

On the war vessel, Mingxian looked down at the Dongshan Taoist Palace, which had been almost completely razed to the ground, and immediately ordered his Taoist soldiers to occupy the city and county in the area.

This time, they're not just going to fight and leave; they're going to completely occupy the land of Yanzhou.

Now that Daoist troops have taken over the northern region of Yanzhou, the various forces of the Eastern Heaven Daoist Clan will soon fill the northern region of Yanzhou, occupying all fifty-three Daoist palaces and turning them into a rear base for supplying resources to the army.

After breaching the Dongshan Dao Palace, Jiang Sheng continued his advance single-handedly, wielding only his sword.

Outside the Qingcheng Dao Palace, Qingyuan Zhenjun looked at Jiang Sheng, who dared to come alone to seize the city and land, without the slightest contempt. Instead, he was filled with fear: at the Dongshan Dao Palace, besides Zheng Yuan, there were also the three fairy maidens from the Three Realms.

Now that Jiang Sheng has appeared outside the Qingcheng Dao Palace, and three life stars have fallen in the sky, it is self-evident what happened at the Dongshan Dao Palace.

On one hand, he took out a communication jade pendant to ask Han Yuan of Linhai Dao Palace for help, and on the other hand, True Lord Qingyuan ordered his disciples to gather all the spirit stone resources of Qingcheng Dao Palace to supply the mountain protection formation.

The Qingcheng Dao Palace also set up the Five Elements Heavenly Light Array. As the array rose, the five-colored heavenly light screen slowly closed to form a barrier covering the entire Dao Palace. Jiang Sheng, who was in the distance, just watched from beginning to end without making a move, which finally put Qingyuan Zhenjun's mind at ease.

Immediately afterward, True Lord Qingyuan ordered the elders of Qingcheng Dao Palace to activate the Five Elements Heavenly Light Array. In an instant, five elements of radiant light shot into the sky, accompanied by a resounding dragon's roar. The five elements of heavenly light condensed into a five elements heavenly dragon, which coiled in the air before roaring and charging straight towards Jiang Sheng. The Five Elements Heavenly Light Array was, after all, a celestial array of equal rank to the Fusion Realm, possessing not only defensive capabilities but also offensive power. This five elements heavenly dragon was one of the offensive methods of the Five Elements Heavenly Light Array.

As the Five Elements Heavenly Dragon swirled with the Five Elements Flowing Light, carrying Azure Wood, Crimson Fire, White Gold, Mysterious Water, and Yellow Earth, it rushed towards Jiang Sheng. True Lord Qingyuan breathed a slight sigh of relief and decided to first assess Jiang Sheng's strength.

However, just a moment later, Qingyuan Zhenjun's heart, which had just settled back into his stomach, jumped into his throat again.

Outside the Qingcheng Dao Palace, as the Five Elements Heavenly Dragon soared into the sky, Jiang Sheng casually summoned a magnificent and imposing magical artifact, gleaming with fiery light and cast entirely in gold, which flew down from the sky and collided with the Five Elements Heavenly Dragon.

The magical artifact is extremely fast, and its momentum is majestic and fierce, like the blazing fire of the heavens or the metal magic sword. It is powerful and mighty, fast as thunder and fierce and unparalleled. It can be called a top-level divine weapon.

This magical artifact unleashed a torrent of light that swept across the sky, instantly accompanied by a blazing inferno of heavenly fire and the relentless surge of sharp, surging metal. With a mournful wail that seemed to tear through the air, the light collided violently with the Five Elements Heavenly Dragon. In an instant, a blinding blazing sun rose into the sky, and the Five Elements Heavenly Dragon let out a painful cry.

Once, twice, three times!
Jiang Sheng stood with his hands behind his back, letting the crimson flames surge and crash against the metal element, shattering the Five Elements Heavenly Dragon into pieces.

As the Five Elements Heavenly Dragon disintegrated in mid-air, the stream of light swirled back to Jiang Sheng's side, hovering around him as if showing off its power.

Qingyuan Zhenjun stared at the magical artifact with auspicious cloud-shaped edges on all four sides and gilded with Daoist seal script and yang patterns all over its body, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets: "How could it be this magical treasure?!"

Seeing his master's expression, Qingyuan Zhenjun's disciple hurriedly asked, "Master, Master, what kind of magic weapon did that Lingyuan thief use? How is it so powerful?"

If the young apprentice doesn't recognize it, how could True Lord Qingyuan not know its origin?
If he were not recognized, True Lord Qingyuan would not look like this.

Gazing at the magical artifact that fluttered about like a butterfly flitting among flowers, True Lord Qingyuan's expression turned bitter: "That is...that is your Uncle-Master Tianyun Qiyuan's protective treasure."

"The Golden Cudgel of the Blazing Sun".

As soon as he finished speaking, a majestic and blazing aura rose slowly, like the sun rising into the sky.

Qingyuan Zhenjun looked on in horror, only to see that under Jiang Sheng's urging, the power of the Blazing Sun Golden Cudgel had increased by more than one level. For a moment, it seemed as if a blazing sun had descended to earth to destroy all things. The Daoist seal script and sun patterns engraved on the Blazing Sun Golden Cudgel shone with brilliant light, and the four auspicious cloud cones were like gilded red fire, almost melting away. A point of brilliant golden-red light appeared and disappeared on it, burning away millions of miles of clouds, melting space, and annihilating the void.

This was clearly the manifestation of the Blazing Sun Golden Cudgel being pushed to its limit.

At this moment, Jiang Sheng activated the Blazing Sun Golden Cudgel with two fingers, watching the power of this protective magic weapon of Qi Yuan continuously rise in his hands.

Ordinary methods would never have been able to make the Blazing Sun Golden Cudgel unleash such terrifying power, but Jiang Sheng at this moment was not only a half-step into the Integration Realm, but also possessed four Dao Seeds.

Although the Blazing Sun Metal Strike is made of Yang Fire Geng Metal, the presence of Yang Fire in front allows it to be activated by the Fire Dao Seed.

Within Jiang Sheng's body, the Fire Dao Seed belonging to the God of Zhurong began to burn. In an instant, a magnificent phantom appeared behind Jiang Sheng, seemingly a million feet tall, with a beast's head and a human body, covered in red scales and riding a fire dragon.

The Blazing Sun Golden Cudgel appeared to be spinning at Jiang Sheng's fingertips, but it seemed more like it was dancing in the hands of that majestic and imposing phantom.

As the Blazing Sun Golden Cudgel trembled violently, as if it were about to be melted, Jiang Sheng looked up at the Qingcheng Dao Palace and at Qingyuan Zhenjun, who was protected by the Five Elements Heavenly Light Array.

Suddenly, Qingyuan Zhenjun and Jiang Sheng exchanged a glance, and Qingyuan Zhenjun felt a chill run down his spine. A sense of crisis, chilling him to the bone, surged forth. Staring at the almost melted Blazing Sun Golden Cudgel, Qingyuan Zhenjun seemed to realize something and his eyes widened in surprise:

"not good!"

The next moment, Jiang Sheng's fingers twitched slightly: "Go."

As Jiang Sheng urged it on, the Blazing Sun Golden Cudgel unleashed its magnificent power, shattering the void and soaring away like a blazing sun falling from the sky.

But then, flames swept across millions of miles, and the aura of metal stirred the heavens.

The blazing sun golden hammer struck the Five Elements Heavenly Light Array of Qingcheng Dao Palace with overwhelming force, and immediately burst forth with dazzling, scorching flames.

For a time, the earth shook.

The blazing sunlight covered the heavens and the earth, while endless smoke and dust swept across the sky.

Amidst the cataclysmic upheaval, a crimson sun, spanning a million miles, expanded above the Qingcheng Dao Palace, radiating its light in all directions. (End of Chapter)
