Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

He possessed the realm of understanding, but lacked the corresponding supernatural abilities and skills.

This is Jiang Sheng's evaluation of the True Lords of Refining Emptiness who guarded the various Daoist palaces of the Qiankun Daoist Sect in Yanzhou.

Since the beginning of the Mowan Dao Palace, Jiang Sheng has attacked Yanzhou three times, destroying more than ten Dao Palaces of the Qiankun Dao Sect and killing nearly twenty True Monarchs of Refining Emptiness. Most of them were just empty shells, and even Jiang Sheng's sword could not stop them.

The Qiankun Dao Sect has deployed these people in Yanzhou, so how can they expect Jiang Sheng to show them respect?

Looking at the ruins of the Junhedao Palace, Jiang Sheng raised his hand and a gourd inlaid with hundreds of stars and gems fell from the sky into his palm.

The Thousand Star Gourd, like the Blazing Sun Golden Cudgel, is a protective magic weapon of Qi Yuan.

Although the Qiankun Dao Sect is said to be all talk and no action, there are quite a few people with real skills.

With just one Qi Yuan, Jiang Sheng received three magical treasures: the Blazing Sun Golden Cudgel, the Thousand Star Treasure Gourd, and the Mysterious Origin Vajra Bracelet. These treasures were excellent in both offense and defense, truly top-tier items.

Jiang Sheng used the Blazing Sun Golden Cudgel to break through the Qingcheng Dao Palace, and the Thousand Star Treasure Gourd to break through the Junhe Dao Palace. For the next Dao Palace, Jiang Sheng plans to use the Profound Origin Vajra Bracelet.

It is, after all, a relic of the chief of the Yuan generation of the Qiankun Dao Sect, the Heavenly Fortune Qi Yuan True Monarch. It would be a pity not to use it now.

After carefully storing the Thousand Star Gourd, Jiang Sheng tore open the space between heaven and earth with a sword, revealing the chaotic void behind him. He then vanished without a trace with a single step.

Meanwhile, inside the Hirano Palace behind the Junhe Palace, the guardian of the Hirano Palace, Takafu Shinjun, was pacing anxiously back and forth.

Originally, it was a good thing for Gao Feng Zhenjun to guard Pingye Dao Palace. After all, he wouldn't have to spend much effort or face a complicated environment. He was surrounded by fellow disciples, and there were no Upper Three Realms beings within the palace's territory.

He only needs to stay in the Dao Palace, find intelligent and clever children to take in and train for several decades, and he can provide the sect with a batch of excellent seedlings.

Gao Feng Zhenjun was not good at fighting magic; he was more skilled at alchemy and talisman making, and he enjoyed appreciating nature, painting and composing poetry.

Logically speaking, given Gao Feng Zhenjun's temperament, it would be somewhat difficult for him to break through to the Void Refinement Realm.

Just like all the pure yang holy lands in the myriad realms, whether it is a Taoist sect, a Buddhist temple, or a divine court or demon court, if three or five people can attain the Dongxuan Dao Fruit in a thousand years, it is already considered to be a place of great fortune.

The most common scenario is that a Pure Yang Holy Land, using its own foundation and those affiliated Middle and Lesser Thousand Worlds, spends a thousand years searching for talented Daoists, eventually gathering hundreds of geniuses. Of these, only two or three ultimately attain the Cave Profound Dao Fruit, and the remaining dozen or so are able to ascend to the Refinement Void Realm.

To ascend to the Void Refinement Realm, one must achieve the ultimate sublimation of essence, energy, and spirit, uniting the Dao with intention, and merging the spirit with truth, thus transforming into a unique Dao Fruit.

However, the Qiankun Dao Sect is different. While the sect does its best to nurture the promising talents of each generation, it also does not abandon the other true disciples. The goal of the Qiankun Dao Sect is that all the true disciples of each generation must ascend to the Void Refinement Realm.

Whether ascension consumes all of its potential or is a case of forcing growth, for the Qiankun Dao Sect, having one more Refining Void Immortal means having one more point of combat power for the sect.

Therefore, within a short span of six thousand years, the Qiankun Dao Sect has established hundreds of True Monarchs of Refining Emptiness in Yanzhou, occupying all the spiritual veins in Yanzhou and dividing up all of Yanzhou's fortune.

In the past, True Monarch Gao Feng would never have thought there was anything wrong with the sect's practices, since all his fellow disciples could ascend to immortality and enjoy a lifespan of ten thousand years, living a carefree life.

But now that the great war has begun, a single Lingyuan from the Eastern Heaven Daoist Clan has nearly overturned all fifty-three Daoist Palaces in the entire Northern Region of Yanzhou, and its power has almost suppressed all the Void Refinement cultivators in the more than three hundred Daoist Palaces in Yanzhou.

The difference between a Void Refinement cultivator who hastily cultivated by draining the pond to catch all the fish and forcing the seedlings to grow, and a Void Refinement cultivator like Jiang Sheng who forcibly broke through from the brink of life and death, is immediately apparent.

The Dongshan Taoist Palace was destroyed, and Zheng Yuan Zhenjun died in battle.

The Qingcheng Taoist Palace was destroyed, and True Lord Qingyuan died in battle.

Junhedao Palace was destroyed, and Lu Yuanzhenjun died in battle.
In less than a quarter of an hour, three Dao Palaces were breached by Jiang Sheng alone with his sword, and three of his Yuan-generation junior disciples died in battle. How could this not make True Lord Gao Feng's heart pound with fear?

At this moment, Gao Feng Zhenjun sent letter after letter to his fellow disciples seeking help. Seeing that Jiang Sheng had already reached his doorstep, Gao Feng Zhenjun was like an ant on a hot pan, and even with the Five Elements Heavenly Light Array activated, he was still anxiously pacing around.

"Master! Master!"

Gao Feng Zhenjun's disciple came running from outside the hall, panting: "Good news, good news! Mu Feng Zhenjun has come to help you!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Feng Zhenjun's eyes lit up: "Really?!"

Sensing the familiar aura outside Pingye Dao Palace with a slight sense of its presence, True Lord Gaofeng hurriedly left the Dao Palace's magic array to greet it.

When True Monarch Gao Feng emerged from the Dao Palace's magic array and saw that familiar figure, he was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes: "Senior Brother Mu Feng!"

"I am deeply grateful and will never forget your kindness. I will remember your help, senior brother!"

Looking at the extremely excited True Monarch Gao Feng, True Monarch Mu Feng sighed softly. To be honest, he didn't know whether it was right or wrong for the sect to go to such lengths to help so many junior brothers and sisters who shouldn't have ascended to the Void Refinement stage to attain the Void Refinement stage.

But now it seems that the sect's actions have undoubtedly boosted the morale of others for no reason.

Gao Feng Zhenjun held Mu Feng Zhenjun's hand, his expression somber: "Senior brother, I've sent out no fewer than fifty letters requesting help, but only you have come to our aid. Alas."

Looking at his junior brother, who was still at the early stage of the Void Refinement realm, Mu Feng Zhenjun sighed inwardly: As the leader of the war in the Western Regions of Yanzhou, Han Yuan of Linhai Dao Palace had decided to abandon Pingye Dao Palace.

Not only Pingye Dao Palace, but also the four Dao Palaces to the left and right of Dongshan Dao Palace, Qingcheng Dao Palace, and Junhe Dao Palace were all abandoned by Han Yuan. In one fell swoop, Han Yuan abandoned a total of eight Dao Palaces, handing over mountains, rivers and lakes covering more than 50 million square miles to the Dongtian Dao family.

Although True Lord Mufeng knew that Han Yuan's approach was correct, and that it was time to consolidate his forces to fight against the Eastern Heaven Daoist School, he couldn't bring himself to abandon so many of his junior brothers and nephews.

He was, after all, a genius of the Qiankun Dao Sect in the past, a Daoist named Mu Feng who possessed the Dao Fruit of the Cave Profound Realm and the Daoist cultivation of the late stage of the Refining Emptiness Realm.

Moreover, Mu Feng Zhenjun's most beloved junior disciple, Long Yuan, had already died in battle, and Mu Feng Zhenjun had witnessed his death firsthand. Without that close friend, Mu Feng Zhenjun had no desire to live on.

Gently patting Gao Feng Zhenjun on the shoulder, Mu Feng Zhenjun solemnly said, "Junior Brother Gao Feng, rest assured, I will defend Pingye with you to the death and will never allow Lingyuan to easily invade our territory."

Upon hearing this, Gao Feng Zhenjun became even more excited. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly saw Mu Feng Zhenjun's expression change drastically. Then, Mu Feng Zhenjun took out a whisk and suddenly used his magic power to stir up a thousand winds and turned to strike.

In an instant, a thousand winds swept across the sky, and then a streak of light came flying by, parting the clouds and clearing the sea of ​​clouds for millions of miles.

Like a comet striking the moon, it shattered in the blink of an eye, annihilating a thousand winds and obliterating the sea of ​​clouds, leaving a deep sword mark between heaven and earth.

Lord Gao Feng stared in horror at the sword mark that had almost shattered heaven and earth, yet remained unbroken. His shock was beyond words.

At the same time, a clear and cold voice rang out.

"Do you two really have the skill to hold out in Pingye to the death?"

Before the words were finished, the world shattered a million miles away, and a straight figure emerged from the chaotic void.

Gazing at the aloof and noble figure of the Taoist priest, and at the black longsword in his hand, True Lord Gao Feng exclaimed, "Lingyuan! Penglai Lingyuan!"

In an instant, an indescribable sense of crisis surged in Gao Feng Zhenjun's heart. Looking at the Taoist's indifferent expression, it was as if thousands of sharp swords were piercing his heart. The terrifying warning made Gao Feng Zhenjun feel a chill run down his spine.

Beside True Monarch Gao Feng, True Monarch Mu Feng stared intently at Jiang Sheng, who had just appeared, and said in a deep voice, "Ling Yuan!"

Jiang Sheng nodded slightly, glancing past Gao Feng Zhenjun and Mu Feng Zhenjun as they looked at each other: "This time I traveled 28 million miles, and you are the only one who has real skills."

"May I ask your name?"

True Monarch Mufeng snorted coldly, gripping his whisk tightly: "This humble Daoist is Qiankun Mufeng!"

Qiankun Daozong, True Lord Mufeng.

Jiang Sheng understood: "Years ago, Fairy Suqin of the Yaochi Holy Land in Kunlun Realm shot down the great demon Jiufeng in Yanzhou. When she left, she was ambushed and seriously injured, and was imprisoned."

"The one who ambushed Fairy Suqin was Long Yuan, and the other one must be you, right?"

Upon hearing Jiang Sheng mention the capture of Fairy Suqin, True Lord Mufeng snorted, acknowledging the matter.

Jiang Sheng's expression remained unchanged, but a glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes: "Previously, Long Yuan had already died at the hands of my Penglai Dao Sect's Jiang Ying Ling Yu True Monarch."

"Today, it is my turn to send you into reincarnation."

Before the words were finished, a thunderous roar was heard. In an instant, a Taoist priest wielded a sword that shattered the void and tore through the air. The sword light danced like a startled swan, and a streak of cold and sharp light swept across millions of miles of heaven and earth, like a rainbow piercing the sun, heading straight for the face of True Lord Mufeng!
Master Mufeng was startled and immediately mobilized his magic power, wielding his whisk to create gusts of wind and wooden energy that formed a wind wall to block the attack.

But as soon as the wind wall took shape, True Monarch Mufeng knew something was wrong. Jiang Sheng's attack was too fierce, and the intent of the Three Calamities and Annihilation on the sword rainbow was too dazzling. That sharp intent of calamity was something that his wind wall could not block.

As expected, no matter how much Mu Feng Zhenjun used his magic to form a wind wall covering hundreds of thousands of miles of land, the sword rainbow destroyed the wind wall he had created in an instant.

Like an arrow piercing through a sieve, the sword rainbow shattered the wind wall with overwhelming force, and then, undeterred, slashed straight at True Monarch Mufeng.

Sensing the fierce killing intent emanating from the sword rainbow, True Monarch Mufeng immediately burned his own immortal source, forcibly elevating his cultivation to the ultimate realm of Void Refinement. In an instant, a clear life star hung high in the sky, emitting boundless starlight.

With his destiny star shining brightly, the immortal energy that True Lord Mufeng had accumulated over thousands of years continued to burn, causing True Lord Mufeng's cultivation to expand continuously, and his supernatural powers to increase significantly.

At this moment, True Lord Mufeng once again wielded his whisk, circulating the Thousand Winds to transform into a streak of azure wood light that blasted forth. The azure wood light raced across the heavens and earth, colliding with the sword rainbow, and in an instant, a dazzling white light enveloped the world.

The greatest sound is the silence, followed by a terrifying aftershock that swept through the heavens like a raging storm!
"Cough cough."

"Cough cough cough cough."

As the smoke and dust cleared, True Monarch Mufeng looked down at his protective aura that had been pierced, and at the sword wound on his chest that had torn his robes. He couldn't help but glance at Jiang Sheng, who stood motionless in the distance. Even though he had burned his immortal essence and mobilized all his magical power, he still couldn't stop Jiang Sheng's sword.

At this moment, True Monarch Mufeng finally understood why those chief disciples of the Daoist sects, those geniuses from various families who possessed the Dao Fruit of Profound Enlightenment and whose cultivation had reached the pinnacle of the Void Refining Realm, were so wary of Jiang Sheng.

The gap between the two sides is simply too great, so great that it cannot be bridged simply by numbers or magical weapons.

Even those who possessed the Dao Fruit of Profound Realm and the Ultimate Refinement Realm were still as weak as ordinary mortals in front of Jiang Sheng.

Penglai Spirit Abyss truly deserves its title as the leading power in all realms today. (End of Chapter)
