Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

Those who are not on the board can clearly see the game.

However, those involved in the game are difficult to distinguish.

In the western region of Yanzhou, at Pingye Daogong.

After Jiang Sheng went into seclusion here, the entire Pingye Dao Palace seemed to disappear, and no one paid any attention to this place.

Even though the four regions of Yanzhou are in chaos and war is raging everywhere, Pingye Dao Palace remains desolate, just like the other damaged Dao Palaces, deserted and uninhabited.

In fact, there are still people inside the Hirano Dōshū Shrine.

At this moment, deep within the Pingye Dao Palace, amidst the endless ruins, a withered, emaciated, and dust-covered mummy suddenly stirred. The azure spiritual energy at its liver flickered slightly before settling down and illuminating its entire body.

As the azure spiritual energy spread, Jiang Sheng, who had been reduced to a dried-up corpse and lost his lifespan, was gradually regaining his vitality.

Jiang Sheng didn't know if others had to overcome the Five Decays of Heaven and Man before breaking through to the next realm, but as soon as he broke through, he immediately faced the decline of his lifespan, which led to the exhaustion of his lifespan and the loss of his vitality, leaving him in this withered corpse state.

Even so, Jiang Sheng did not die.

As life and death cycle, and prosperity and decline alternate, while Jiang Sheng's physical body withered and his lifespan was fading, a candlestick remained in his sea of ​​consciousness, which also turned into flying sand and dissipated.

The lotus sea transformed from Qinglian and Molian has vanished into thin air, and the lotus pond is filled with ashes and decay. Even the towering Qingxuan Lotus Platform has withered and decayed. However, the lamp that is entirely made of jade and resembles a precious lotus remains unchanged. Its single candle flame shines quietly and brightly, illuminating the past and present.

As the candlelight of time illuminated the lamp, a hoarse and obscure voice slowly rang out.

"A great dream lasting a thousand years comes to an end, and time reflects upon people of the past and present."

"Those who cultivate themselves aspire to the Great Dao, and the beginning of the Great Dao is longevity."

"Indeed, without the ability to live forever, even with extraordinary abilities, it is difficult to stop the aging process."

"I cultivate the method of Yin-Yang Calamity Extinction, Three Transformations, and Five Elements, with water as the foundation, the Four Symbols entering the Dao, encompassing the Three Calamities and the Five Difficulties within it."

"A dream spanning hundreds of thousands of years, witnessing the changes of the world, a dream of being born in the morning and dying at night, finally attaining the fruit of the Azure Heaven."

As he spoke, with the gentle breeze blowing, Jiang Sheng's figure gradually solidified on the withered and decaying Azure Lotus Platform.

This is Jiang Sheng's true spirit.

At this moment, Jiang Sheng's true spirit still looked extremely old, but his eyes were exceptionally clear, with a blue lotus seemingly swirling within them, faintly radiating azure-gold light.

As Jiang Sheng's true spirit opened his eyes and reached out, a verdant fruit appeared out of nothingness. The fruit was bright green and full of life.

A sniff of it seems to grant one a thousand years of life; a bite of it allows one to become one with the universe.

Jiang Sheng looked at the fruit that was enough to make him live as long as heaven and earth, and smiled: "The so-called Dao fruit is always sought within, why rely on external things?"

Having said that, Jiang Sheng crushed the longevity fruit, and as the breeze blew, the power of wind, thunder, water, and fire once again dominated his sea of ​​consciousness.

In an instant, a fierce wind howled and lightning flashed. The fierce wind cleansed the filth from Jiang Sheng's sea of ​​consciousness, the raging fire burned away the impurities in Jiang Sheng's divine consciousness, the thunder opened up the universe in Jiang Sheng's sea of ​​consciousness, and the mysterious water rejuvenated Jiang Sheng's sea of ​​consciousness.

As wind, thunder, water, and fire swirled around, Jiang Sheng's sea of ​​consciousness reopened the universe. The withered and ashes-covered blue and black lotuses in the lotus pond regained their vitality, and the decaying lotus platform gradually returned to its original appearance, standing in the center of the lotus pond in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Wind, thunder, water, and fire clashed endlessly. In an instant, a fierce wind arose, a calamity thunder descended, and a yin fire ignited.

The movement of wind, thunder, and fire transformed into three colors of lead, which condensed into three flowers on Jiang Sheng's head.

The gathering of three flowers at the top signifies the ultimate state of refining emptiness.

Jiang Sheng sat cross-legged on the lotus platform, his five hearts facing the sky. His life soul and true spirit had already returned to their original handsome and refined appearance.

"My way lies in the wonder of the Three Transformations and the Five Elements, with Yin and Yang as the first, the Four Symbols as the guide, connecting the Three Powers and the Five Elements, which is the return to oneness after the annihilation of the world."

"The techniques of the Three Calamities and the methods of the Five Difficulties are all forms of the Dao of Yin and Yang. I take them as the foundation, yet they are not the truth."

"The wind, thunder, and fire transform, and the sword that cuts through the three calamities begins."

"Knowing the Five Elements and their workings, understanding the Five Difficulties, one can use them as a guide to understand the Way."

"Therefore, it is the three transformations, three elements, and three forms."

"Therefore, they are the Five Illuminations, the Five Purities, and the Five Transformations."

"By understanding the changes of the three and five, and comprehending the profound mystery of Yin and Yang, one can attain the fruit of penetrating truth and glimpse the source of all laws."

"It is the combined chapter of the wondrous classics of Yin and Yang, the Three Transformations, and the Five Elements."

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, the Taoist chanted softly, and amidst the ruins, the mummified corpse began to slowly open its eyes, emitting a mysterious tremor.

Eastern region of Yanzhou.

"Vulnerable!"

With a triumphant laugh, a mountain descended from the sky. Lingwei struggled to hold on, but was crushed by the mountain in an instant, and then spat out blood.

On the other side, where the mighty wind passed, the image of the Supreme Pure Thunder God was shattered, and the spirit jade inside was also scraped away, with most of its flesh and blood disappearing.

The condensed dew, with immense force, shattered Lin Fan's Radiant Sun Blade, knocking him from the sky. The surging blue waters, a vast torrent, swept away Shao Bai Mingjun's Primordial White Qi.

The Four Seas True Lord was also beaten bloody and miserable by the combined efforts of Lian Ri and Cai Yue.

They live on the wind and dew, and enjoy the mountains and rivers.

Compared to these True Lords of Dao Yi Palace who had achieved the combined cultivation level, Ling Wei, Ling Yu, Lin Fan, Shao Bai Mingjun, and Si Hai True Lord all appeared too weak, not to mention the cooperation of Lian Ri and Cai Yue, the two current chief disciples of Dao Yi Palace.

This time, not only was Lingwei and the others' offensive thwarted, but they themselves were also destined to die and perish in the eastern region of Yanzhou.

"Cough cough."

Lingwei spat out a mouthful of foul blood mixed with fragments of internal organs, and looked at Guanshan Zhenjun in the sky: "Using your Integration Realm cultivation to bully juniors, if I, a true disciple of the Yu or Shi generation from Penglai, were here, would you still be so arrogant?!"

The smug Guanshan Zhenjun's expression changed. Which of the Penglai Yu generation or Shi generation was easy to mess with?
It's easy for them to bully the Penglai Ling generation now, but what will happen to them when the main force of the Penglai Dao Sect enters the fray?
But immediately, True Lord Guanshan laughed and said, "There's no need for Fellow Daoist Lingwei to worry about this. Now that you've reached the end of your life, I hope you will be reborn in the afterlife!"

Lingyu glared at True Lord Yinfeng with intense resentment: "The one who started this, will he have no descendants?!"

True Monarch Yinfeng remained unmoved: "Too much nonsense!"

After saying that, True Lord Yinfeng raised his hand and summoned a ball of wind blades, which he then struck at Lingyu's head.

On the other side, the Star-Picking and Star-Changing Techniques also surrounded Ling Xuan and Ling Qiu. The two had exhausted their magical power and had no means to resist.

Zhaixing laughed and said, "It seems that today, all the Ling generation of Penglai Dao Sect will perish at the hands of my Dao Yi Palace."

Ling Qiu, covered in wounds and looking weak, spat out, "Pah!"

"You think you can interrupt the true teachings of my Penglai lineage?!"

"Not to mention that Senior Brother Ling Yan is still in the Three Realms, once my Senior Brother Ling Yuan breaks through his seclusion, none of you will be able to escape!"

Upon hearing this, Zhaixing was taken aback: Lingyuan?!
Yes, Penglai also has a Lingyuan!

How could they forget about Ling Yuan?

Let alone plucking stars, even Yi Su, Yi Shan, and Tian Hai all looked astonished: "Ling Yuan?"

"How could we forget Lingyuan?!"

"So, where is Lingyuan?!"

The group was filled with doubt when suddenly a tremor ran through them, causing them to involuntarily look towards the western region of Yanzhou.

At the same time, Xuan Yi and Xuan Xin, who were almost exhausted in the southern region of Yanzhou, also sensed this tremor. Shao Yang and Shao Yin felt a tightness in their hearts and hurriedly looked towards the western region of Yanzhou, without caring about Xuan Yi and Xuan Xin.

In the northern region of Yanzhou, amidst the chaotic battle, Zhen Leizi, Yan Huazi, Zhao Xingzi, Ming Jizi, You Yue, You Xi, You Que, You Xu, and others from the Chi Xiao Dao Sect also sensed a tremor, causing them to subconsciously look towards the western region of Yanzhou.

Both Xu Yuanzi and Crown Prince Youhua frowned, their expressions grave as they gazed toward the western region of Yanzhou.

"That is... life?"

"No, it's fresh fruit?"

Meanwhile, in the western region of Yanzhou, on the most chaotic battlefield, the fierce battle between the Tianhe Dao Sect and the Tianyuan Holy Sect also came to a halt with this tremor.

This sudden surge of emotion came too abruptly, like the vitality of spring buds sprouting after a long winter, or like the fruit sprouting from chaos.

From any angle, this throbbing seems to indicate that something is awakening.

A series of tremors came, and someone looked at the Pingye Dao Palace in the western region of Yanzhou in surprise and doubt: "It's coming from those ruins!"

The members of the Tianhe Dao Sect and the Tianyuan Sacred Sect, all at the Upper Three Realms, looked over and saw a single spring bud breaking through the layers of broken walls and stretching out tenaciously amidst the ruins.

Then, a warm spring breeze swept in.

Amidst the ruins of the Hirano Taoist Temple, as the breeze swept away the rubble, a withered and emaciated Taoist figure was revealed.

Another surge of energy came, as if the fortune of the entire Yan State had gathered, and the mysterious forces of creation had been cleansed.

As the Taoist's withered body was infused with the power of fortune and creation, it gradually began to regain its fullness, and an aura far surpassing the ultimate realm of Void Refinement surged into the sky.

In an instant, a surge of azure spiritual energy soared into the sky, stirring the starry heavens and transforming into a radiant, swaying sea of ​​azure lotus flowers.

In the sea of ​​lotuses, where blue and black lotuses intertwine, a blue lotus slowly blooms, revealing a Taoist sitting cross-legged on a lotus platform.

The Taoist wore a green crown and a black robe. The Taoist wheel behind his head spun, and three flowers condensed on the top of his head. The four symbols around his body intertwined and transformed into sword energy, while the blue sky in his chest sparkled with spiritual energy.

With a long breath, the Taoist slowly opened his eyes. Azure-gold light enveloped the sky, and the Taoist's figure had vanished without a trace, leaving only a faint Taoist voice.

"The destruction of Yin and Yang reveals the true self, and the three calamities and five tribulations purify the mind."

"The Daoist fruit of immortality, granting lifespan as long as the heavens, makes one an immortal of Penglai." (End of Chapter)
