Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

All laws are the basis of the Tao, and the manifestation of its true nature; to pierce them with a sword, to destroy their sharpness, is to break through all laws.

Time is the flow of years, the change of the past and present; to sever it with a sword, to cut off the past and present, is to cut off time.

Cause and effect are the threads connecting all living beings, the origin of countless eons; to sever them with a sword, cutting off the seven emotions and six desires, is to sever cause and effect.

Those who have passed away are the root of the Daoist heart, the true spirit looking back; stir them with the sword, observe all sentient beings, this is to observe the past.

These are the first four swords of the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique. Each sword possesses immense power and can overwhelm countless enemies.

Since Jiang Sheng arrived at this point, countless enemies have died under the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique. Especially after attaining the Dao Fruit, with the Yin-Yang Calamity Extinction Three Transformations Five Elements Wonderful Method combined with the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique, Jiang Sheng has never encountered an opponent.

Now, Jiang Sheng is facing no ordinary opponent, but three True Lords who have combined their cultivation.

Those who can cultivate to the level of Integration of Daoist Realm must attain the Dao Fruit of Profound Realm. It can be said that the Dao One Palace Immortals who appeared before Jiang Sheng were all peerless geniuses who had been famous for thousands of years, whether they lived by drinking the wind and eating the dew or by observing mountains and swimming in water. Each of them had their own legendary past.

Faced with such an opponent, Jiang Sheng unleashed the fifth sword of the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique, Creation.

A vast sea of ​​blue lotuses surged like waves, while the Azure Profound Sword pressed down on the heavens.

"The Creator is the origin of Yin and Yang, and the source of all things."

“I suppress it with my sword, and through the interplay of Yin and Yang, I bring forth life, and through the chaos, I illuminate the calamity.”

Jiang Sheng murmured softly, casually pressing down with the Qingping Sword in his hand. In an instant, heaven and earth were annihilated and all things vanished without a trace. Vast chaos surged forth, reenacting the creation of the world.

The True Lords of the Dew-Eating Ceremony, the True Lords of the Mountain-Viewing Ceremony, and the True Lords of the Water-Swimming Ceremony were in a vast chaos, surrounded by no spiritual energy or mystical energy, nor by the Five Elements and Four Symbols. It was all ethereal and elusive, and it was difficult to see the true transformation of the Dao.

"This is a newly advanced Integration Realm cultivation level?!"

As the True Monarch Canlu gazed at the surging, vast chaotic energy in all directions, unable to sense even the slightest spiritual phenomenon, his expression shifted repeatedly: He had just broken through to the Body Integration Realm, and his cultivation level hadn't even stabilized yet—where did he get such profound cultivation and supernatural powers?!

Not to mention the True Lord of Dew, the True Lord of Mountain View and the True Lord of Water Swimming were also filled with shock and turmoil. At this moment, the two True Lords who had merged into one were so serious that they could hardly hide their panic.

In this unique realm where heaven and earth were undifferentiated and chaos reigned, even if the three of them were to unleash their supernatural powers and spells, their power would be reduced by more than 30%. Moreover, the three of them were currently suppressed by an inexplicable force and were unable to use their supernatural powers at all.

For a moment, the three merged True Monarchs seemed to have returned to their weakest time, to the time before they embarked on the path of cultivation, when they were still mortal beings.

This was not a sword to witness the past, so the three True Lords did not see any past events appear before them. What appeared before them was only the blue and black lotuses that began to spread continuously in the vast gray-white void.

Lotus blossoms spread out, advancing from all directions until they reached the feet of the three True Lords, eventually forming a boundless sea of ​​lotuses.

In an instant, the lotus sea, with its intertwined green and black hues, seemed to be crushed by a strong wind and scattered in both directions. A mottled sword light descended as Jiang Sheng's Qingping Sword pressed down.

As the mottled ribbon crashed down, the reversed Yin and Yang returned to their proper places, the Five Elements were restored to their proper order, and the Four Symbols revealed their true nature. The shattered heaven and earth were reunited, giving rise to immeasurable life.

Within this lotus sea where blue and black intertwine, amidst the vast chaos, the blue and black colors transform into yin and yang, and with the change of blue and black, wind begins to flow within the chaos.

The wind swept across the sky and brought thunder, and the thunder and lightning ignited fire. As the thunder manifested and the fire burned, the sound of flowing water appeared around the three True Lords.

It was an extremely thin stream, which, with the changes of wind, thunder, and fire, began to become a small river, then a great river, and finally a vast ocean, displaying a variety of colors.

The rushing water sounded like the clanging of metal, or like thunder rumbling in all directions. Endless water vapor surged and galloped, flowing to the south and north, to the four seas and eight wastelands, and then gave birth to mountains and peaks, stars and the sun and moon.

This was the beginning of heaven and earth, the creation of chaos. In an instant, the sound of shattering glass rang out.

The three flowers gathered on the heads of the three True Lords of Dining Dew, Observing Mountains, and Swimming in Water have silently collapsed and dissipated.

Amidst the vast and boundless Azure Lotus Sea, in the newly born world, opposite the three True Lords of the Dew-Eating, Mountain-Viewing, and Water-Swimming Unity Realm, the Taoist in the Azure Crown and Black Robe, Jiang Sheng, the newly promoted True Lord of the Penglai Taoist Sect, calmly said as he looked at the astonished and fearful expressions of the three veteran True Lords before him: "The Azure Transformation is the movement of Yin and Yang."

"Yin and Yang are the rising and falling of purity and turbidity, the rotation of the sun and moon, the creation and destruction of the world, all of which are the cycle of creation, just as the order and reversal of the Five Elements are all manifestations of the Great Dao."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Qingping Sword pressed down again, its sword light splitting into three, symbolizing the creation of all things from three.

As the three lights swept out, the original creation of heaven and earth, where all things were reviving, was suddenly interrupted by a great calamity of destruction.

In an instant, the Five Elements collapsed and the Four Symbols disintegrated. The scattered power of the Five Elements and the Four Symbols converged with the energy of destruction and calamity, condensing into a mottled and obscure ribbon between the shattered heaven and earth.

The surging waters surged and time rushed by, just as the heavens and earth endlessly cycled. The mottled ribbon hung high like a sword, signifying calamity and foreshadowing the return of all things to one. With the power of splitting the earth and creating the heavens, it pressed down. The great power of the creation of heaven and earth and the Dao of chaos and creation pressed down, and in an instant, this world was completely destroyed and collapsed. The three True Lords, Canlu, Guanshan, and Youshui, also disappeared and their souls were scattered.

Can a headless creature survive?

If one were an ordinary person, let alone losing a head, even losing a hand or foot could be fatal.

For cultivators, even those in the lower three realms still face the inevitable fate of being beheaded.

Once you reach the middle three realms—Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Divine Transformation—physical damage, even severed limbs or heads, is not a major problem.

Even without a head, one's spirit can still exist between heaven and earth, and may even reside in another body, living out its own thousand-year lifespan.

As for the immortals of the upper three realms, let alone losing a hand or foot or losing a head, as long as their life soul and true spirit are not lost, as long as their Dao fruit is not damaged, what does it matter if their physical body is torn apart?
For immortals in the upper three realms, limb regeneration is not a difficult task.

Especially when one reaches the Integration Realm, having overcome the decline of lifespan and physical body, let alone the regeneration of severed limbs, even the regeneration of blood is nothing more than a matter of a moment.

Three breaths later, the head of True Lord Yinfeng, which had been severed by Jiang Sheng with the Sword of Observing the Past, was put back on his neck.

As Yin Feng Zhenjun pressed his head, which had been tightly closed, back onto his neck, and as the wound healed without leaving a trace, he turned his neck and opened his eyes. What he saw was a vast sea of ​​blue and black lotuses, and the three fellow disciples who had died under Jiang Sheng's sword.

In the eyes of True Lord Yinfeng, the three fellow disciples, Canlu, Guanshan, and Youshui, vanished into thin air as the streak of light that caused the lotus sea to churn fell.

All the supernatural powers and abilities attained through thousands of years of arduous cultivation and countless tribulations have been lost.

Even though the three of them had reached the level of Integration, they still could not escape death, which made True Monarch Yinfeng feel bitter and unsure whether to cry or laugh.

Three True Monarchs at the Integration Realm, three true disciples of their sects—all killed by Jiang Sheng just like that?!

Suddenly, Jiang Sheng turned around abruptly, his eyes, gleaming with azure-gold light, gazing indifferently at Yin Feng Zhenjun, who had just turned his head back.

"I almost forgot about you."

"Let's send you back to your place as well."

The longsword hummed, its black blade untouched by a single drop of blood. Gazing at the black blade, True Lord Yinfeng felt a chill run through his body!

Before True Monarch Yinfeng could recover, the Qingping Sword in Jiang Sheng's hand shimmered with mottled light, like the light of the primordial chaos at the beginning of time. (End of Chapter)
