Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

"The Way of the End Times and the Law of Calamity have actually given birth to such a sharp and extraordinary sword of slaughter."

"That kid Lingyuan has a strong bloodthirsty nature."

On the main ship of the Tianhe Dao Sect, Immortal Lord Xuanjing shook his head as he looked at the four streams of light swirling above the main ship of the Penglai Dao Sect.

Seeing this, True Lord Zhaozhen and the others glanced at him and were about to speak when Immortal Lord Xuanjing laughed and said, "But in the midst of a great calamity, what we need is this kind of sharp and unparalleled killing spirit."

"You kids, you've lived for so many years, and with time, your thoughts have become complicated. How much of that unwavering spirit for the sake of the Great Dao do you still have?"

“Young Lingyuan cultivates the path of the end times and wields the method of calamity, bearing the three calamities and five tribulations. Under other circumstances, he would certainly find it difficult to attain enlightenment.”

"But if we were to change it to the myriad worlds of today, Lingyuan's chances of proving the Dao would be no small matter."

True Monarch Zhaozhen tentatively asked, "Then, Uncle-Master, should we let Lingyuan go first in tomorrow's duel?"

Immortal Lord Xuanjing waved his hand: "Lingyuan is a treasure of Penglai Dao Sect. It can be used, but it cannot be used indefinitely. If it is damaged, Senior Brother Xuanming will come looking for trouble with me."

"Yesterday I boosted morale and offered generous rewards; tomorrow, younger generations will volunteer themselves."

"In the end, this calamity was specially prepared for Penglai and Qinghua for my Tianhe. Penglai and Qinghua set the stage, so we Tianhe must be respected."

"After the juniors finish their duel, Zhaozhen, Zhaoye, and Zhaohong, the three of you, take action and kill those Fifth Tribulation subordinates of Wanshou!"

Xuanjing Immortal Lord spoke calmly, but the chilling killing intent within his words made Zhaozhen True Lord understand that tomorrow's battle would be extremely brutal.

Meanwhile, on the main ship of the Penglai Dao Sect, Jiang Sheng casually put away the Four Swords of Slaughter and Traps, preparing to recuperate and regulate his breathing.

Although it only took a little over a day to refine these four swords, it greatly depleted Jiang Sheng's mental energy. Maintaining the form of the four swords and imprinting the Cloud Forbidden Spirit Mark and the Law Forbidden Dao Seal were extremely taxing on his spiritual sense and magical power. Now that the four swords were complete, Jiang Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Jiang Sheng had finished his work, Ling Yu was relieved and then smiled and said, "Ling Yuan, you are fast enough to reforge these four swords. It only took a little over a day."

Jiang Sheng explained, "Senior Sister Lingyu, these swords of mine are different from other magical treasures. They were forged by me in a small world that was about to shatter, and they are naturally compatible with me."

"Afterwards, it was nurtured day and night, and the sword was also consecrated with the true spirit fruit of the enemy, so that its grade was already extraordinary."

"Since I attained the Dao Fruit, these four swords have accompanied me through countless worlds, slaying countless geniuses and Dao disciples, and countless profound disciples. They are not lacking in spirituality or power. Like my Qingping Sword, they are all in harmony with my true spirit and connected to my Dao Fruit. The only difference is the time it takes to nurture and enhance them."

"As I break through to the next realm and merge with the body, these four swords, like the Qingping Sword, also reach the edge of advancement as my true spirit rises. Those rare and precious materials and divine irons are just to make up for the time needed for nurturing, so they naturally won't take much time."

"If we're really talking about reforging, these four swords were already being reforged when I broke through to the next realm and merged with the current one. It's just that the refining has only been completed today."

As he spoke, Jiang Sheng had a thought, and the four swords of annihilation and annihilation swept out from his sleeve, flying around him and swirling around him. Their affectionate gestures completely concealed the fierce killing intent they had shown just moments before, making them truly the envy of others.

Lingwei, Lingyu, Lingxuan, and Lingqiu all suddenly understood.

Lingwei looked at Lingxuan and Lingqiu and said, "Your senior brother Lingyuan is right. In the myriad realms, there are indeed some true treasures that do not need to be reforged or refined too much. Their grade will continue to improve with the master's realm and cultivation. Without exception, these true treasures are all of the same life as their masters."

"Those who possess such treasures will all have great fortune in the future."

"With such good fortune, Lingyuan's future is limitless."

Lingqiu looked at Jiang Sheng with increasing longing: When could she become a world-renowned sword immortal like her senior brother Lingyuan?
Ling Xuan asked curiously, "Then, Senior Brother Ling Yuan, doesn't your natal treasure need to be reforged and nurtured?"

Upon hearing this, Lingwei and Lingyu also looked at Jiang Sheng. Although the Four Swords of Slaughter and Traps were in harmony with Jiang Sheng's mind and aligned with the True Spirit Dao Fruit, they were not his natal treasures after all.

Jiang Sheng's natal treasure, the Qingping Sword, is the one he uses most often and relies on most.

With a major battle imminent, it's quite surprising that Jiang Sheng only refines the Zhulu Xianjue sword but doesn't nurture the Qingping sword.

Lingyu said, "Lingyuan, if you don't have enough, we have plenty of rare and precious materials. You are now the most skilled among the Ling generation of Penglai. The sect's reputation rests on your shoulders, so don't hesitate to ask."

Jiang Sheng smiled and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister. I have already prepared all the materials for refining the Qingping Sword. Besides, I haven't used the Heavenly River Nine Treasures Sand and other materials that Immortal Lord Xuanjing gave me before. I don't lack anything."

"The reforging and refining of the Qingping Sword cannot be completed in one or two days. This time, refining four swords is also a practice run to prepare for the next refining of the Qingping Sword."

"Moreover, even without reforging and refining, the Qingping Sword is by no means inferior to any true treasure of the Fusion Realm!"

As Jiang Sheng spoke, he raised his hand and grasped the Qingping Sword, which was three feet six and a half inches long. Looking at his own natal sword, which was entirely black and covered with blue lotus patterns, Jiang Sheng gently stroked the blade, and the Qingping Sword emitted a clear sword hum.

The next day, early in the morning.

At this time, it was autumn in the Kyushu region, with clear skies and crisp air.

However, at the North Heavenly Pass of Yanzhou, there was an atmosphere of solemnity and impending doom.

The armies of Penglai, Qinghua, and Tianhe lined up in a row, stretching from the ground to the sky, forming a majestic, three-colored wall of bronze and iron.

Banners fluttered and armor gleamed. Sixty million Daoist soldiers of the Eastern Heaven stretched across the heavens and earth. With the howling autumn wind, phantoms of spirit beasts rose from the square formations, displaying their power.

Below the North Heavenly Pass, the Qiankun Dao Sect was the main force, with Kongdong Huayun as the auxiliary force. The Immortal Lord of Longevity also mobilized 60 million Dao soldiers to form an array there.

The massive army of Dao soldiers wore gleaming armor, and all their magical artifacts were of the highest quality. The phantom images of various spirit beasts also appeared, and rows of war weapons were lined up, exuding a chilling killing intent.

Xuanjing Immortal Lord was no longer on the main ship at this time; his entourage moved forward and was pushed directly above the Daoist army formation.

The Great Vehicle Immortal Lord of the Heavenly River Dao Sect looked around and saw banners waving in the wind.

Penglai, Tianhe, Qinghua, Chixiao, Yaochi, and even the Demon Emperor's Palace, Nanhuo Divine Palace, Canglang Holy Sect, Xuansu Sect, Sanxing Sect, Shanhai Palace, and Linghai Sect
The forces of Xuanmen holy lands and Taoist immortal sects from the Three Realms Eastern Heaven, Cangwu Realm, Kunlun Realm, Zhuming Realm, Zhoushan Realm, Naluo Realm, Dongyu Realm, Linghe Realm, and other Great and Middle Thousand Worlds gathered here.

At this moment, all the True Lords felt a surge of pride, and an inexplicable power rose from their hearts: with such a massive army and so many geniuses, this battle would not only be a great victory, but they would also become famous throughout the heavens!
In fact, it wasn't just the True Lords from various families who were excited; Immortal Lord Xuanjing was also filled with surging emotions. This old Immortal Lord seemed to have returned to his youth, full of vigor and high spirits.

But then, Immortal Lord Xuanjing sat calmly atop his ceremonial regalia and said, "This time, who will be the first to challenge us?"

Just as the Four Seas True Lord was about to make a move, he saw the Young White Underworld Lord rush out first.

A streak of pure white light flashed across the sky like a startled swan, and in an instant, Shao Bai Mingjun had arrived in front of the Qiankun Dao Sect's grand formation: "Shao Bai of the Xuan Su Sect of Zhoushan Realm is here. Who dares to fight me?"

Seeing Shao Bai Mingjun take the lead in battle, Lin Fan was somewhat envious: "Yuan Chen, Fellow Daoist Shao Bai is quite fast. I wonder what kind of generous reward Immortal Lord Xuanjing will bestow upon him for this first battle."

Jiang Sheng also laughed and said, "Among those Yuan and Feng generation members of the Qiankun Dao Sect, there are not many who are truly capable. Fellow Daoist Shao Bai seized the opportunity; next time, don't hesitate." Lin Fan snorted a few times upon hearing this, "It was just being modest with them. We can't let the Eastern Heaven Dao Family take all the good things; we have to give outsiders a chance to shine."

Lingyu then reminded him from the side, "Lingzhao, if you follow this idea, you won't get a chance in the second and third rounds."

"Look if you don't believe me."

Lin Fan looked in the direction Ling Yu pointed and saw that the Four Seas True Lord, the Crested Ibis Demon Lord and others were already eager to make their move, and even Kong Zhen and Jin Qiong were also eager to try.

Seeing this, Lin Fan's face darkened: "Hmph, let's see how Shao Bai performs first."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Sheng smiled and turned his gaze to Shao Bai Mingjun.

At this moment, as Shao Bai Mingjun took the initiative to challenge, a figure immediately rushed over from the army formation of Qiankun Daozong. It was none other than Wen Yuan who made a move!

"Young White Netherworld Lord, what right do you, born from a minor sect in the Middle Thousand Worlds, have to challenge my Qiankun Dao Sect?!"

After Wen Yuan finished speaking, he raised his hand and summoned a Star Measuring Ruler. The Star Measuring Ruler was radiant with light and surrounded by immortal energy. As Wen Yuan cast his spell, thousands of stars appeared in the sky. The boundless starlight was drawn by the Star Measuring Ruler and then transformed into thousands of streams of light that swept away.

Wen Yuan, a true disciple of the Yuan generation of the Qiankun Dao Sect, is hailed as the foremost expert in divination and geomancy.

Such a True Lord, who has mastered the arts of celestial secrets and geomancy, is also capable of endless magical battles.

As countless stars swept across the sky, Wen Yuan, holding the Star Measuring Ruler, continuously circulated his supernatural powers. Under Wen Yuan's command and control, the stars in the sky were connected into one, transforming into a giant bow of stars arranged in countless rows.

At the same time, the measuring ruler in Wen Yuan's hand also transformed into a star bow.

The torrent of starlight that swept across the sky earlier was merely a smokescreen by Wen Yuan, designed to attract Shao Bai Mingjun's attention and create an opportunity for his trump card.

"The secrets of heaven are boundless, and the stars are our bow."

"Passing through destiny and fortune, destroying all evil."

As he spoke, Wen Yuan drew his star bow, and the great bow formed by the stars in the starry sea also opened for him.

As the Starry Bow was drawn to its fullest extent, an arrow formed from the brilliance of countless stars took shape on the bowstring.

"The Celestial Star Mantra of Enlightenment - Myriad Stars Connecting Destiny!"

In an instant, a whooshing sound was heard, and the stars vibrated like thunder. A ten-thousand-foot-long star arrow descended from the sky, stirring up a million miles of starlight. It carried the power of penetrating the true spirit of destiny and shot straight at the face of the White Underworld Lord.

This arrow was clearly meant to shatter the three flowers on the head of the White Underworld Lord!
Sensing the intense danger emanating from above, Shao Bai Mingjun remained calm and composed. He flicked the Four Transformations Banner in his hand, causing wisps of pure white energy to surge and gather around the banner in an instant.

"Is that all you have?"

"All the energy flows into form, and a thousand sharp edges condense into axes and halberds."

As Shao Bai Mingjun held the Four Transformations Banner in both hands, the Tai Su White Qi also gathered into an axe blade that could shatter everything and destroy all laws.

"Tai Su Fa · Tai Bai Kai Tian".

Before he finished speaking, the ten-thousand-foot star arrow formed by Wen Yuan's power of ten thousand stars was instantly shattered by the axe blade formed by Shao Bai Mingjun's pure white energy. In an instant, thousands of starlight scattered and flew everywhere between heaven and earth.

The axe blade formed from the pure white energy continued its momentum, a sharp axe light swept through the air and slashed straight at Wen Yuan. Upon seeing this, Wen Yuan quickly summoned the Star Measuring Ruler to defend himself.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Sheng knew that Wen Yuan was going to lose: "Wen Yuan is going to lose."

Lin Fan nodded: "That's right. When it comes to observing the secrets of heaven, Wen Yuan is indeed a master, but his experience in combat is far inferior to Shao Bai's."

Lingqiu asked curiously, "Senior Brother Lingzhao, how powerful is this Wenyuan?"

Lin Fan laughed and said, "When we were fighting in Yanzhou before, almost all the true disciples of Dao Yi Palace, Yin Yang Orthodox Sect, Kong Dong, Hua Yun, and Qian Kun Dao Sect participated in the battle."

"But this questioner has always been in the rear, coordinating from the center."

"As for skill, he does have it, but when it comes to fighting, he lacks too much. It's no exaggeration to say that if I fought him, five moves would be enough to take his life."

Hearing Lin Fan's words, Ling Qiu secretly clicked her tongue in amazement: It is said that the difference between Dongxuan Dao Fruits is not big and it all depends on the individual, but now it seems that even among Dongxuan Dao Fruits, the difference is ridiculously large.

Seeing Ling Qiu's surprised expression, Lin Fan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't think I'm exaggerating. If it were your senior brother Ling Yuan, he probably wouldn't even be able to use five moves."

Upon hearing this, Lingqiu immediately looked at Jiang Sheng, who smiled and said, "Two breaths, please."

"Test his strength with one breath, send him into the cycle of reincarnation with one breath, and two breaths and three moves are about right."

Seeing Ling Qiu's shocked and discouraged expression, Jiang Sheng patted her on the shoulder, which was rare for him: "Don't be discouraged. You are a true disciple of Penglai and also our junior sister of the Ling generation. Don't panic when things happen. It doesn't matter if you lose in a battle. No matter how big the problem is, your senior brothers and sisters will support you."

As they were talking, Lin Fan suddenly pointed to the battlefield: "Yuan Chen, look! Shao Bai is about to win!"

Everyone looked over at the sound and saw that just as Wen Yuan was activating the Star Measuring Ruler to block the Tai Bai Axe Light, Shao Bai Mingjun unexpectedly made a hand seal and used magic, and twelve points of spiritual light immediately shot out from his sleeve.

Just as Wen Yuan activated the Star Measuring Ruler to resist the Tai Bai Axe Light, twelve streams of light swept in from above, below, left, and right, piercing through Wen Yuan's protective aura, breaking through his protective spiritual light, and then penetrating his body.

In an instant, the sound of flesh being pierced rang out one after another. Wen Yuan's body was pierced twelve times in a single breath. Bloody holes appeared in his internal organs, limbs, and meridians. Wen Yuan's breath also weakened on the spot as his body was injured.

At this moment, Shao Bai Mingjun stepped forward, and the Four Transformations Banner in his hand once again drew upon thousands of strands of Tai Su White Qi. Under Shao Bai Mingjun's urging, the strands of Tai Su White Qi shot towards Wen Yuan like thousands of arrows.

In an instant, Wen Yuan, whose physical body was already injured, was pierced by dense, pure white energy, and even his soul and spirit were riddled with holes.

At this point, Shao Bai Mingjun struck out with another palm, the powerful magic seal descending upon him, completely annihilating Wen Yuan's soul.

Only then did the twelve points of light return and land beside Shao Bai Mingjun. When everyone looked closely, they saw that they were twelve Gengjin sword pellets containing Tai Su Bai Qi!

Shao Bai Mingjun laughed:

"In terms of swordsmanship, I am inferior to Ling Yuan, but among all the swordsmen in the myriad realms of this era, there are not many who can surpass me." (End of Chapter)
