Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

But the fiery line soared into the air, ignoring the indestructible dragon-patterned tortoise shell of the Golden Turtle Demon Lord, traversing the void and directly slashing at his physical body and soul!

Before the Golden Turtle Demon Lord could even let out a wail, he was reduced to ashes by the sword light.

Amidst the humming of sword light, only a golden dragon-patterned tortoise shell remained suspended within the sword formation.

Wind, thunder, water, and fire obscure the sun and moon; slaughter and annihilation seal the course of time.

The golden light reflected the dragon's shadow, and the black armor floated in the air, weeping blood.

Jiang Sheng gazed at the golden tortoise shell before him, entwined with dragons, and sighed softly: "Originally, I only intended to entangle the Demon Lord for a moment, to buy True Lord Xiaoyuan a convenient opportunity."

"Who would have thought that not only would the Azure Dragon King die today, but the Demon Lord's fate would also come to an end."

As he spoke, Jiang Sheng waved his sleeve, withdrawing the wind, thunder, water, and fire that filled the sky, as well as the swirling and soaring Killing and Trapping spells, and also put the dragon-patterned golden shell into his sleeve.

During his time fighting in the Nine Provinces, Jiang Sheng killed countless Upper Three Realm cultivators, but he gained very little.

The Meteor Demon Suppressing Tower of the Qiankun Dao Sect's Fufeng Zhenjun is a usable treasure. Although Jingxing Zhenjun is a fifth-level Daoist and a sword cultivator, his Moonflower Magic Sword is not compatible with Jiang Sheng, so it can only be kept for the time being.

As for the other immortals and great demons who fell into Jiang Sheng's hands, there were almost none of them who could be used by Jiang Sheng immediately to enhance his combat power.

For powerful demons like the Chiyuan and Feixiao, who are at the Integration Realm, neither their magic weapons nor armor are of any use to Jiang Sheng. The only useful things about the two demons are their fur and flesh. However, Jiang Sheng does not eat grains or meat, so he has to keep those things to himself.

The same applies to creatures like tiger-dragons and crocodiles. Apart from their fur and demon core, all that's left is the essence of their blood containing the dragon's bloodline.

Compared to all of these, the tortoise shell of the Golden Turtle Demon Lord is Jiang Sheng's greatest gain from his battles in the Nine Provinces Realm these past few days!

The shell of a Five Tribulation Dragon Turtle that has lived for over ten thousand years contains Daoist traces and spiritual energy. It can divine heavenly secrets, examine destiny, suppress fortune, block curses, and is even indestructible itself, capable of blocking supernatural powers and magic weapons.
For a cultivator like Jiang Sheng, who aspires to reach the Pure Yang Realm, such a dragon-patterned tortoise shell is undoubtedly a powerful new trump card.

Simply refine and nurture it, adding new Taoist spiritual seals and cloud-like seals, and it can be used as Jiang Sheng's trump card to protect his life.

With this treasure in hand, it's no wonder Jiang Sheng is grateful to Daoist Chixiao. If Daoist Chixiao hadn't used his methods, Jiang Sheng would have had to use his Dao Seed to fight the Golden Turtle Demon Lord to the death, and there would have been no chance of obtaining such a perfectly intact ten-thousand-year-old dragon turtle shell.

As the Zhuxian Sword Formation dissipated, Jiang Sheng looked up and saw Xiaoyuan Zhenjun put the enormous body of the Azure Wave Dragon King into his pocket. Sensing Jiang Sheng's movement, Xiaoyuan Zhenjun looked somewhat apologetic: "The body of the Azure Wave Dragon King is useful to me. If Lingyuan Zhenjun doesn't mind, I can give you the dragon head cane."

Jiang Sheng hurriedly said, "The Azure Wave Dragon King was killed by the True Lord. Moreover, if it weren't for the Chixiao Ancestor's divine thought, I wouldn't have been able to kill such a powerful enemy. Everything belonging to the Azure Wave Dragon King should rightfully belong to the True Lord and the Chixiao Dao Sect."

"How could I possibly take more than my share?"

Although Jiang Sheng said this, Xiao Yuan Zhenjun was still a little embarrassed. After all, she, a dignified Fifth Tribulation True Monarch, still needed Jiang Sheng, who had only a First Tribulation cultivation, to help her stop the Golden Turtle Demon Monarch. If she told anyone, she would still owe him a favor.

After thinking for a moment, True Lord Xiaoyuan still took the dragon-headed cane of the Golden Turtle Demon Lord and presented it to Jiang Sheng: "Since the Golden Turtle Demon Lord was defeated by you, fellow Daoist, then this thing belongs to you."

"And this Ao Yu is the daughter of the Azure Wave Dragon King, a true dragon descendant. If you don't mind, you can take her with you."

Ao Yu was numb at this point, letting Xiao Yuan Zhenjun and Jiang Sheng discuss her future fate as if they were buying and selling goods, clearly resigned to her fate.

Seeing Xiaoyuan Zhenjun's attitude, Jiang Sheng didn't hesitate. He put away the dragon-headed cane, then used his sleeve to put Ao Yu inside, and said to Xiaoyuan Zhenjun, "Zhenjun, we have completed our mission. It's best to leave quickly so as not to hinder the immortals' battle."

Xiao Yuan Zhenjun readily agreed: "In that case, let's retreat immediately!"

The two immediately tore open the void in front of them and plunged directly into the turbulent void.

In fact, the commotion at the bottom of the pool had already alerted the Mahayana practitioners who were fighting in the heavens.

However, the Dragon King of the Overturning Sea and the Golden Ape with Long Arms were blocked by Immortal Lord Huaguang, while Immortal Lord Dongri and Immortal Lord Wanxian were blocked by Immortal Lord Chiyun, making it difficult for them to pay attention to the situation below for the time being.

By the time they finally had a free moment, Immortal Lord Yuzhen and True Lord Yuanyi had already arrived. Faced with Immortal Lord Yuzhen, a fresh force, and True Lord Yuanyi, who was wielding a Mahayana immortal treasure, neither side was willing to make any rash moves. After a few breaths of stalemate, they each withdrew.

In this battle, the Eastern Heavenly Daoist Clan not only pushed the battle line beyond Anlan Mountain, but also directly occupied the central region of Cangzhou. At this time, the Eastern Heavenly Daoist Clan occupied the central and western regions and was eyeing the southeast, north and south regions. It can be said that they had already gained the upper hand.

However, the six-party allied forces of Qiankun Daozong, Yuanyang Daozong, Tianyuan Shengzong, Wanshoulin, Jiaolonghai, and Bibotan suffered successive losses of cities and territories. Furthermore, the deaths of two Mahayana demon lords, Fuhai Tu Jiaolongwang and Wuyi Chixiao, truly crippled the six-party allied forces and demoralized them.

"Come, fellow Daoists, let's drink to victory!"

"Cheers!"

On the main ship of Yaochi, the three upper realms of Penglai, Chixiao and Yaochi gathered to celebrate their great victory.

At this moment, a colossal object, spanning three million miles in length, stretched across the central region of Cangzhou. At its head were three Mahayana Immortal Lords: Crimson Cloud Immortal Lord, Jade Virtue Immortal Lord, and Radiant Light Immortal Lord. On either side were a host of Fifth Tribulation True Lords, including Yuan Yi True Lord, Xiao Yuan True Lord, and Magpie Flute True Lord. To the left and right were the pillars of their respective families.

The following are included: True Lord Shihua, True Lord Yuming, Lingwei, Lingyu, and others from the Penglai Dao Sect; True Lord Canghao, True Lord Cangjing, and the Seven Sons of Chixiao from the Chixiao Dao Sect; and female immortals from the Yaochi Holy Land, including Fairy Lanzheng, Fairy Yuejian, and Fairy Suqin.
The true masters of each family gathered together, and laughter filled the air.

As celestial music played, amidst the enchanting sounds and dances, Immortal Lord Crimson Cloud declared, "This great victory necessitates rewarding those who have contributed."

"Come, come, report your battle achievements so that I may have them engraved in a golden book and report to the ancestor."

Upon hearing this, the various True Lords exchanged glances and began to report their merits.

"Chixiao Xuyuanzi, Zhenleizi, and Tianjizi, join forces to slay the traitor Liuyu of Yuanyang!"

"The Jade Pool Moon Sword Fairy and the Jade Zither Fairy joined forces to slay the Heavenly Yuan traitors Hengchuan and Hengyou!"

"True Lord Lingyu of Penglai, slay the traitors Guangyuan and Liyuan!"

"True Lord Lingzhao of Penglai, slay the traitor Yuan Xian of Heaven and Earth!" "True Lord Lingwei of Penglai and True Lord Lingqiu of Penglai, capture the traitors Hefeng and Quanyuan of Heaven and Earth!"

"."

Listening to the series of reports of achievements, Lin Fan couldn't help but offer his opinions. He first said that Xu Yuanzi, Lei Zhenzi, and Tianjizi had only managed to kill Yuan Yang Liuyu, which was nothing special; then he said that Yuejian Xianzi was already injured when she killed Tianyuan Hengchuan, so she wasn't really worth mentioning.
Finally, it was his turn. Lin Fan stood up with a smug look on his face, bowed, and then sat down, looking at Jiang Sheng beside him: "Yuan Chen, I still managed to kill Xiao Xian, that kid Ye Qian had been so obsessed with. What do you think?"

Jiang Sheng sipped his tea and nodded perfunctorily: "The divine might of True Lord Lingzhao is unparalleled, I admire him greatly."

Lin Fan was quite dissatisfied with Jiang Sheng's perfunctory attitude, but when he heard that Ling Wei and Ling Qiu had jointly defeated Qian Kun He Feng and Quan Yuan, he still smiled as he looked at Ling Qiu, who was getting up somewhat awkwardly: "That little girl Ling Qiu is quite lucky. She had the sect leader to help her take down Quan Yuan."

"At that time, the sect leader originally intended to kill Hefeng and Quanyuan, but Lingqiu pleaded for them and spared their lives."

Jiang Sheng said, "It's good to leave one or two alive. Capturing them alive is much harder than killing them. This achievement is quite remarkable for Ling Qiu."

Lingyu added, "It's just that Lingqiu's personality still needs some tempering. If necessary, we should still use lethal force."

Lin Fan nodded and continued listening to everyone report their achievements.

"True Lord Crimson Sky Azure Heaven, slay the traitors Guan Xu and Guan Che of Yuan Yang!"

"True Lords Chixiao and Cangxi, join forces to slay the traitors Liujing and Liufeng of Yuanyang!"

"The Fairy Lan Zheng of Yaochi has slain the traitor Zhao Ji of Tianyuan!"

"True Lord Yuming of Penglai, True Lord Yuche, True Lord Yujing, slay the traitors Jingming, Jingyuan, and Jingzhen!"

"True Lords of Penglai, Shihua, Shijun, and Shiping, slay the traitors Zhaoxu, Guanyue, and Jingque!"

As each family recounted their battle achievements, the atmosphere inside the hall grew increasingly enthusiastic.

Whenever a battle achievement was announced, and a bandit was slain, the hall would raise a toast in celebration, and the person who had made the achievement would rise and bow.

Listening to the series of reports of merits, Lin Fan suddenly remembered something and asked cautiously, "Speaking of which, Yuan Chen, your achievements this time should rank in the top five, right?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yu and Ling Wei all looked over, and even Xu Yuanzi cast his gaze over.

Jiang Sheng paused, then shook his head: "It's not that easy. I haven't done much."

Meanwhile, reports of military achievements continued to pour in.

"The True Lord of the Jade Pool Flute, slay the traitor De Guang of the Heavenly Origin!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall immediately looked at the elegant and graceful Magpie Flute True Lord, who sat behind the jade platform.

True Lord Deguang of the Tianyuan Dao Sect is a cultivator with five kalpas of cultivation!
In an instant, everyone congratulated her, saying, "Congratulations to Fairy Magpie Flute for her great achievement."

Magpie Flute True Lord rose and bowed, then took his seat.

Then, another report of victory rang out: "True Lord Yuanyi of Penglai has slain the Crimson Winged Demon Lord!"

He used his five kalpas of cultivation to slay the Mahayana demon lord!

As everyone watched, True Lord Yuanyi rose and performed a Daoist bow, then bowed separately to Immortal Lord Yuzhen. Although it was to report his merits, True Lord Yuanyi remained remarkably calm.

Those who are family know their own situation. Without the intervention of Immortal Lord Yuzhen, it would have been impossible for him to kill the Black-Winged Crimson Demon Lord on his own. It's just that Immortal Lord Yuzhen gave him the credit.

Therefore, Yuan Yi Zhenjun was not necessarily very happy.

The announcements of achievements continued at this time.

"True Lord Chixiao, you have beheaded the traitor Guan Yuan of Yuanyang! You have beheaded the Azure Dragon King of the Azure Wave Pool!"

In an instant, a chorus of exclamations erupted inside the hall.

Guanyuan Zhenjun, the Fifth Tribulation Zhenjun of the Yuanyang Dao Sect!
And the Azure Wave Dragon King of Azure Wave Pool is an even more powerful Mahayana demon lord!

Who could have predicted that the female immortal Xiaoyuan Zhenjun would not only kill one Fifth Tribulation True Monarch, but also the Azure Wave Dragon King!

Even the Magpie Flute True Lord and the Yuan Yi True Lord couldn't help but look at the female immortal wearing a ruyi lotus crown and a crimson jade brocade robe.

Xiao Yuan Zhenjun remained expressionless, rising to pay his respects before taking his seat.

This scene prompted Lin Fan to exclaim repeatedly, "As expected of the most famous female immortal swordswoman of the Crimson Cloud Dao Sect, she is truly as pure as ice and as beautiful as jade, a sight to behold!"

Lin Fan then asked curiously, "Speaking of which, why haven't you reported your merits, Yuan Chen? Could it be..."

Upon hearing this, Lingwei, Lingyu, and Lingqiu all looked over. True Monarch Yuming glanced thoughtfully at Jiang Sheng, then smiled.

Immediately afterwards, the announcement of achievements rang out:

“True Lord of Penglai Lingyuan”.

"Slay the myriad beasts of the forest, including the apes and monsters; capture the golden dragon of the sea; slay the flying beetle, tiger dragon, and crocodile of the Azure Wave Pool; slay the golden turtle of the Azure Wave Pool!" (End of Chapter)
