Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

Lin Fan left gracefully, leaving Tian Ming'an, Qiu Buyu, and Huang Wensheng looking at each other in bewilderment.

Ye Qian watched Lin Fan's departing figure, his heart filled with warmth: his master had always been concerned about him!
Remembering Lin Fan's reminder, Ye Qian asked, "Ming An, do Jian Chun and Ping An know a lot about the Qiankun Dao Sect?"

Tian Ming'an had nothing to hide now, and explained: "Before my Eastern Heaven Daoist family launched a major attack on Yanzhou, we saw Chunhe Ping'an travel around Yanzhou for a period of time and even infiltrated several Daoist palaces of the Qiankun Daoist Sect. We should know some information."

Ye Qian asked curiously, "Wasn't Yanzhou full of people from the Qiankun Dao Sect back then? How did those two end up in Yanzhou?"

Qiu Buyu snorted: "It's all because of your good master, who threw them both into Yanzhou under the pretense of training."

"Then the two of them first stayed at Baibo Dao Palace. Later, due to the Maple Valley War, the entire Northern Region was in chaos. The two of them stayed at various Dao Palaces one after another. Finally, they arrived at Beitian Pass and encountered the great battle between Chixiao Dao Sect and Jiubao Immortal Kingdom."

"Until recently, when we were about to attack the central region of Yanzhou, the two of them were still in the central region. In the end, they were forcibly summoned back by our master."

"Master said that with their level of cultivation, it would be suicide for them to act as spies under the nose of a Mahayana Immortal Lord."

As Ye Qian listened to Huang Ping'an and Li Jianchun's experiences, his eyes widened. Although Qiu Buyu only said a few words, Ye Qian could still sense the omnipresent danger from them.

The Battle of Maple Valley and the Battle of Northern Heavenly Pass were both massive battles, often involving tens of millions of Dao soldiers and dozens of Upper Three Realms cultivators fighting each other. How perilous that must have been!

It can be said that Huang Ping'an and Li Jianchun experienced a tumultuous and perilous journey.

Tian Ming'an chuckled and said, "With their master's Immortal-Slaying Sword protecting them, they are quite safe."

"Alright, I'll go and call them over. Ye Qian can ask them anything he wants."

As he spoke, Tian Ming'an hurriedly went to find Li Jianchun and Huang Ping'an, while Ye Qian was startled again: Uncle Lingyuan had given them the Immortal-Slaying Sword, so what kind of perilous situation were they facing?!
Before long, Li Jianchun and Huang Ping'an arrived. Upon seeing Ye Qian, they smiled and said, "I heard from Senior Brother Ming'an that you wanted to hear about our experiences these past few days?"

Li Jianchun said with a hint of pride, "Ye Qian, you've come to the right place. We two know more about the situation in Yanzhou and the Qiankun Dao Sect than most of our senior uncles and elder brothers!"

Huang Ping'an also looked smug: "We've been through a lot these past few days. Ask me anything you want to know."

Ye Qian did not hesitate and immediately asked, "My two good brothers, have you ever heard the name Xiao Xian in the Qiankun Dao Sect?"

Li Jianchun frowned upon hearing this: "Xiao Xian?"

"I vaguely remember this name."

"Ping An, do you remember me?"

Huang Ping'an pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked at Ye Qian: "Ye Qian, why are you asking about this Xiao Xian?"

Ye Qian noticed something was off about Huang Ping'an's expression and quickly asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with Xiao Xian?"

Huang Ping'an said seriously, "Ye Qian, let me give you some advice: if you have a grudge against Xiao Xian, you may not be able to get revenge in a short time."

Li Jianchun's eyes widened in shock: "Xiao Xian?! Isn't this the disciple of the Myriad Manifestations Immortal Lord who is stationed in Cangzhou by the Qiankun Dao Sect?!"

"Now he is known as the True Lord Yuanxian."

Cangzhou?!
A disciple of the Immortal Lord of Myriad Manifestations?!

Yuanxian Zhenjun?!
Ye Qian's face turned pale, and he subconsciously staggered: He thought that with his hard work and the support of Penglai Dao Sect, he had enough to take revenge on Xiao Xian, but Xiao Xian was now actually Yuan Xian Zhenjun, a master of the Upper Three Realms!
"Qiankun Dao Sect, Refining Void True Lord"

"I never imagined Xiao Xian had reached this point."

Ye Qian looked somewhat lost and staggered toward the temporary cave dwelling.

Looking at Ye Qian's pitiful appearance, Li Jianchun and Huang Ping'an were puzzled: "What's wrong with Ye Qian?"

Tian Ming'an sighed: "I remain silent. Wen Sheng joined the sect at the same time as Ye Qian and knows some of Ye Qian's past. The inside story is as follows."

As Tian Ming'an recounted Ye Qian's past, Li Jianchun and Huang Ping'an both sighed, their expressions somewhat helpless.

Li Jianchun complained, "Senior Brother Ming'an, if you had told me this story earlier, I could have told Ye Qian more tactfully."

"Ye Qian must be feeling quite dejected right now."

Qiu Buyu asked, "Is that Xiao Xian very powerful?"

Huang Pingan explained, "It's not just ordinary powerful."

"Xiao Xian was originally the chosen one of destiny in the Nine Provinces. After gaining power in Cangzhou, he did not become arrogant. Instead, he took the initiative to build a good relationship with the Qiankun Dao Sect. In the end, he even directly became a disciple of the Myriad Manifestations Immortal Lord and safely passed through the tribulation."

"Many chosen ones, once their calamities are over and their divine favor dissipates, will immediately be reduced to their original state and subjected to revenge from their former enemies."

"But Xiao Xian is different. Xiao Xian had already become a disciple of Immortal Lord Wanxian. His divine favor did not dissipate. Instead, he received the blessing of the Qiankun Dao Sect. Now he has even ascended to the Void Refinement Realm. His former enemies have all reconciled. Not only have all the karmic ties been severed, but it has also added to his destiny. He can be called a genius of his time and has a good reputation in the Nine Provinces Realm."

As Qiu Buyu listened to Xiao Xian's experiences, he suddenly said, "Why does Xiao Xian seem so much like Uncle Lingzhao?"

Huang Wensheng and Tian Ming'an were stunned for a moment, then realized that Xiao Xian's past was indeed very similar to Lin Fan's. Both of them made many friends but also had many enemies. Moreover, both of them were True Monarchs of the Xuanmen Dao Sect.

The only difference is that Lin Fan was originally a member of the Penglai Dao Sect, while Xiao Xian joined the Qiankun Dao Sect halfway through his career. To join a profound Dao Sect halfway through one's career and even become a disciple of a Mahayana Immortal Lord is a remarkable feat.

The group looked at each other, and Qiu Buyu finally said, "It seems that Ye Qian can only rely on Uncle Lingzhao to avenge him."

Li Jianchun asked, "Senior Sister Buyu, why don't you ask Master to avenge Ye Qian?"

Qiu Buyu snorted: "Master is now in the Integration Realm. He has the cultivation of a First Tribulation cultivator as soon as he entered the Integration Realm, and he even killed a Second Tribulation True Monarch in battle."

"If we send Master to deal with that Xiao Xian, wouldn't Master be bullying the weak?"

As they were talking, a chilling feeling suddenly surged into their hearts. In an instant, boundless killing intent enveloped the entire flagship of the Penglai Dao Sect. The sound of thunder rumbled, and the aura of calamity and killing intent surged like dark clouds, as if the earth and sky were about to collapse.

The men turned pale and broke out in a cold sweat. Huang Wensheng exclaimed in horror, "What's going on?! Where did this overwhelming killing intent come from?!"

Li Jianchun and Huang Ping'an were trembling and swaying precariously. Even Tian Ming'an and Qiu Buyu were horrified, their cultivation and magical power completely rendered useless by this killing intent.

Qiu Buyu stared intently at the main hall, at the ever-flowing essence of the sun and moon above it, and at the surging killing intent and calamity emanating from all around, and murmured, "It's Master!"

"The magical artifact that Master crafted is about to emerge from seclusion!"

The profound and concentrated aura of calamity surged continuously, transforming into millions of miles of dark clouds in the sky.

Thunder roared, flames surged, gales howled, and dark waters surged.

Above the sky, wind, thunder, water, and fire had never been so clearly manifested before everyone, demonstrating the Daoist principles of the Four Symbols.

At this moment, not only were the True Monarchs of Penglai Dao Sect alarmed, but also many True Monarchs of the Upper Three Realms, such as True Monarch Longquan, True Monarch Cangyuan, True Monarch Huayu, and True Monarch Lanjing, emerged from the main ship of Tianhe Dao Sect and the main ship of Qinghua Dao Sect and looked towards the main ship of Penglai Dao Sect.

Meanwhile, Mingxian, Mingfang, Xuanyi, and Xuanxin, the current true disciples of the Eastern Heavenly Daoist School, were alarmed by the terrifying aura of calamity and the chilling killing intent, and came out of seclusion to look out.

"what's the situation?!"

"Where did this ferocious creature come from, possessing such an aura of slaughter?!"

Fairy Suqin looked shaken, clearly having been startled by the overwhelming calamity during her seclusion, almost suffering some lasting effects.

The Crested Ibis Demon Lord stared intently at the place where the essence of the sun and moon flowed, gazing at the vast and swirling calamity energy that resembled a vortex, sensing the raging wind, thunder, water, and fire within the calamity vortex, and said in a deep voice, "If I am not mistaken, this should be Ling Yuan refining a technique."

Refining techniques?!
Fairy Suqin looked astonished: What kind of magic refining ceremony would make such a commotion?!
If Jiang Sheng is indeed practicing magic, then what kind of supernatural power is he practicing?!

On the other side, Shao Bai Mingjun and Si Hai Zhenjun gazed at the vast celestial phenomena affected by the calamity, at the deep sea of ​​clouds formed by the swirling killing intent and calamity energy in the sky, and at the surging and turbulent calamity killing intent and the constantly manifesting crimson thunder and dark fire within it. Shao Bai Mingjun took a deep breath: "Fellow Daoist Lingyuan's cultivation has improved again."

The Four Seas True Lord said quietly, "This is not as simple as just making progress. With such a calamity and the changes of the Four Symbols, what exactly is Lingyuan doing to cause such a commotion?"

"Young Bai, look around. All the families in the upper three realms have been alarmed. Wouldn't the middle and lower six realms be in a state of panic right now?"

As Shao Bai Mingjun looked, just as Si Hai Zhenjun had said, with the aura soaring into the sky above the main hall of the Penglai Dao Sect's flagship, and the lingering aura of calamity enveloping it, the entire fleet of the Eastern Heaven Daoist family sensed that profound and condensed calamity intent, that cold and chilling aura of destruction, and that overwhelming ferocious killing intent.

Who would have thought this was a celestial alchemy technique?
Anyone who didn't know better would think some invincible demon had come to kill them.

Inside the main hall of the Penglai Dao Sect's flagship, Lingwei, Lingyu, Lin Fan, Lingxuan, and Lingqiu were all forced by the chilling and sharp aura of ferocity. They couldn't help but frown and activate their protective qi, as if they would be injured by the fierce and sharp sword qi if they were not careful.

Meanwhile, the two guardians, Master Hua and Master Yu Ming, also unleashed multiple protective divine powers. They stared at Jiang Sheng, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the furnace, watching the raging wind, thunder, water, and fire within the furnace, and the chilling sword energy dancing wildly in the air. They couldn't help but feel a pang of worry for Jiang Sheng.

But Jiang Sheng was actually safer than everyone had imagined.

Sitting cross-legged on the Azure Lotus Platform, Jiang Sheng could clearly sense the exhilaration of the Four Swords of Slaughter and Deception. They were unleashing their power to proclaim their existence to the world.

As the essence of the sun and moon continuously transforms into Yin-Yang fire, the four swords are scorched to near nothingness, eliminating all impurities;
As various rare and precious irons such as the Vast Ocean Abyss Iron, the Ten Thousand Yuan Fire Spirit Marrow, the Nine Mist Clear Cloud Jade, and the Heavenly Thunder Nine Heavens Iron were burned into liquid and transformed into essence, they were melted into the four swords, giving them a new color.
As Jiang Sheng infused the power of the Yin-Yang Calamity Extinction Three Transformations Five Elements Mystic Method he cultivated into the four swords, imprinting layers of cloud-like restrictions and magical prohibitions upon them;
As Jiang Sheng poured his understanding of the Four Symbols, the Three Calamities, the Calamity, and the End of the World into the four swords, he inscribed them with immortal seal script.

After being refined several times, the Four Swords of Zhuxian have revealed a new sharpness.

Jiang Sheng opened his eyes wide and shouted softly, "Execute, slaughter, trap, and annihilate! Rise!"

In an instant, the furnace lid was blasted open by four incomparably sharp sword energies. With the sounds of cranes crying and dragons roaring, four sword lights soared into the sky, stirring up the calamity of the heavens and stirring up endless wind, thunder, water and fire.

In an instant, the sky was filled with the deep, surging aura of calamity, and wind, thunder, water, and fire clashed and transformed into celestial phenomena.

Within the celestial phenomenon, four streams of light—azure, purple, vermilion, and black—danced and twirled, their sharpness and chilling aura dazzling and startling, causing hearts to pound with fear.

The four swords are neither copper, iron, nor steel; they can enter between reality and illusion, cleave through the void of the present world, open up the passage of time, and break through the causal and destiny of fate.
Whether it's the three flowers on one's head or the five elements in one's chest, they all seem illusory before these four swords. The moment the four swords are unleashed, they seem to stabilize the wind, thunder, water, and fire, stabilize the foundation of chaos, and can open up the creation of heaven and earth and perform the final calamity and return to nothingness.

Gazing at the four swords hovering in the air, at the crisscrossing four-colored sword lights, and sensing their unique calamity and sharpness, a thought arose in everyone's mind: it was as if even a Five Tribulation True Monarch would perish if the four swords were drawn together.

It is:

Neither copper, nor iron, nor steel, a hidden treasure lies beneath Mount Sumi;
Yin and Yang are reversed to forge the Four Symbols Sword; Water and Fire combine to temper its sharpness.
The two polarities rotate, breaking the universe; the pure spirit opens the heavens, stabilizing the light of the cosmos.

As the saying goes, the reign of Emperor Kaihuang foretells the end of a reign; who can escape death by his sword? (End of Chapter)
