Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

Since the year of the Heavenly Shattering, the Taiyin star in the Xuanhuang Realm has become increasingly dim.

For the next twenty years or so, when the human race in the Xuanhuang Realm looked up at the sky, they could only see a Taiyin star that was becoming increasingly dim.

Although it shone with a silvery glow, it seemed to be shrouded in a hazy mist.

In reality, it's because the power of the Taiyin star is getting weaker and weaker, while the number of celestial demons polluting the immortal energy and the Taiyin origin on the Taiyin star is increasing.

With this ebb and flow, the celestial energy and yin cold energy above the Taiyin star could no longer sustain themselves, while the demonic energy of the Heavenly Demon increased, eventually forming the hazy mist that enveloped the silvery light.

The so-called "tainted moon" is the scene of demonic energy covering the sky, formed by the heavenly will manipulating the moon stars to counterattack the heavenly demons, and the heavenly demons stirring up demonic energy to fight against the moon stars.

The will of heaven and earth in the Xuanhuang Realm was only weakened, not dormant. Therefore, after sensing that the Taiyin Star was being eroded, the will of heaven and earth manipulated the Taiyin Star to accumulate power and launch a counterattack.

This results in the moon appearing weak and dim for most of the year, but for two or three months its brilliance is murky and strong, even capable of causing tides and driving demons into a frenzy, eventually forming the tainted moon demon tide in the human world.

And now, without a sound, the surging, turbid demonic energy that had gathered above the Taiyin star shattered and vanished like a bubble.

Therefore, a sword beam shot into the sky and broke through the demonic energy that shrouded the Taiyin star, thus allowing people walking on the earth to witness the changes in the Taiyin star.

In the eastern region of the Xuanhuang Realm, Xuanxin is leading Xuanjing, Xuansang, Xuanji, and others to clear the surrounding area of ​​tens of thousands of miles, sort out the earth veins, purify the spiritual energy, and prepare to establish a branch of the Qinghua Dao Sect.

Under Xuan Yi's command, the disciples of Qinghua Dao Sect each had their own tasks. Some were clearing out demons to relieve the pressure on the surrounding humans, some were engraving formations to purify the filth, and some were spreading the teachings of Qinghua, preparing to select a group of lucky people in the eastern region of Xuanhuang Realm to fill the detached courtyard.

Suddenly, the moon caused a slight tide, prompting everyone to look up.

"What's going on?!"

Xuan Jing stared in astonishment at the bright sword light above the Taiyin star, feeling a sense of familiarity.

"That is the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique, Lingyuan is above the Taiyin Star."

Xuan Yi's voice rang out, drawing the attention of Xuan Xin, Xuan Jing, Xuan Sang, and Xuan Ji.

The current senior disciple of Qinghua Dao Sect stood with his hands behind his back, frowning as he gazed at the commotion on the Taiyin Star: "Lingyuan must have unleashed his full power; something must have happened on the Taiyin Star."

Xuanji hurriedly asked, "Then, Senior Brother, should we?"

Xuan Yi shook his head: "That's not something you can get involved in. Even if I went, it would most likely be difficult to continue."

"The Taiyin Star in the vast world is not so easy to approach. There must be other reasons why Lingyuan was able to ascend to the Taiyin Star. This is his opportunity."

"Don't worry about the Mind Abyss. Focus on establishing a separate courtyard and gaining a foothold in the Eastern Region of the Xuanhuang Realm. Once the lineage of my Qinghua Dao Sect is established and its reputation spreads, our opportunity will come naturally."

Everyone nodded in agreement and got busy with their own tasks, while Xuan Yi continued to gaze at the moon in the sky, seemingly lost in thought.

In the southern region of the Xuanhuang Realm, as the raging flames swept away the demon horde, Xu Yuanzi laughed and said, "Dan Jingzi, your alchemy fire is also extremely useful for exorcising demons."

Dan Jingzi stroked his beard and laughed, "A mere group of inferior demons in the lower six realms will naturally be reduced to ashes with the release of my Dan Fire!"

Yan Huazi looked around and said in a deep voice, "The evil spirits within a radius of 100,000 li have now been completely wiped out. It's time to subdue those forces that were watching us."

"We can't let them think we're here to do charity."

Lei Zhenzi's voice boomed: "Not bad."

As he spoke, Lei Zhenzi gathered all his strength and unleashed the Daoist thunderous sound. With the blessing of his thunder magic, the rolling thunderous sound swept across millions of miles: "We are true cultivators of the Chixiao Dao Sect of the Cangwu Realm. We have come to slay demons and eliminate evil because we feel that the Xuanhuang Realm is in trouble."

"All you human cultivators, whether from noble families or sects, come here immediately to pay your respects!"

In an instant, thunder roared, and the sky was filled with lightning and thunder.

Within the range of the thunderous roar, all the human cities heard the earth-shattering thunder and saw the demons that exploded into a cloud of blood mist under the thunder.

While the humans were filled with awe at Zhen Lei Zi's divine power, Zhen Lei Zi no longer cared about the humans around him and focused all his attention on observing the Taiyin star in the sky.

"That's... Lingyuan's sword light?!"

"Indeed, the Three Calamities are triggered, followed by destruction; the magnificent sword technique, the intent to cleave the heavens and sever the earth. It is Lingyuan's Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique!"

“He is indeed Lingyuan. While we were still in the mortal realm, his gaze was already set on the heavens.”

The Seven Sons of Chixiao discussed among themselves, but Zhaoxingzi sighed softly, "Who can blame them? They were able to kill a Fifth Tribulation True Monarch."

"Otherwise, why would such an opportunity from the Taiyin star be delivered to someone else?"

Upon hearing this, Lei Zhenzi was also discouraged, while Yan Huazi and Zhu Yuzi remained calm, clearly having already grown accustomed to Jiang Sheng's extraordinary abilities.

"In this vast and chaotic world, there are always some extraordinary people who far surpass our imagination."

"Gentlemen, let's not worry about others. Lingyuan has already presented us with an opportunity by bringing us here. Now it's time for us to act quickly and find our own destined opportunity." Xu Yuanzi chuckled, seemingly indifferent, but his eyes were fixed on the sword beams soaring into the sky above the Taiyin Star: one man, one sword, fighting alone against the Taiyin Star—how could he not want such heroic spirit? It's just a pity that his cultivation is insufficient.
Meanwhile, in the northern, western, and central regions of the Xuanhuang Realm.

Mingxian of Tianhe Dao Sect, Suqin Fairy of Yaochi Holy Land, Guangwen and Guanghui of Jinchan Temple, Shaobai Mingjun of Xuansu Sect, Sihai Zhenjun of Canglang Holy Sect, and Zhuhuan Demon Lord of Nanhuo Shen Palace of Zhuming Realm also stopped what they were doing and looked up at the moon.

After sensing the incredibly clear fluctuations of the Heaven-Slaying Sword above the Taiyin Star, everyone remained silent for a while before continuing their work.

The Taiyin star is not a place they can currently venture into.

Mingxian wants to lead his junior brothers and sisters to establish the Tianhe Courtyard and recruit talents, so that the Tianhe Dao Sect, which has gone through fierce battles in the Tianyuan Realm and the Jiuzhou Realm, can have more strength and more future talents.

Fairy Suqin and the others also intend to establish the Yaochi lineage, select female cultivators to enrich Yaochi, and incidentally collect some unique natural treasures from the Xuanhuang Realm to seek their own opportunities.

Guangwen and Guanghui want to establish a Pure Land to spread Buddhism, Shaobai Mingjun and Sihai Zhenjun want to find their own opportunities, and even the Zhuque Demon Lord is eager for the merits of the Xuanhuang Realm. As for the affairs of heaven, let's leave them to Jiang Sheng.

Meanwhile, on the moon.

It was evident that the murky demonic energy that had originally shrouded the sky had dissipated and vanished, and wisps of pure, ethereal energy and yin-cold energy surged out from beneath their feet, beginning to fill the space once more.

Meanwhile, within a radius of millions of miles, the void cracked and tore apart heaven and earth, the void storm surged endlessly, spacetime rifts crisscrossed, and the storm of time swept in all directions.

Amidst the turbulent void and the storms of time, the surging winds, thunder, water, and fire have stabilized the four corners of this world that was on the verge of complete collapse. Jiang Sheng stood there, his expression calm.

Amidst the turmoil of wind, thunder, water, and fire, Jiang Sheng's Creation Sword, activated by the final calamity and destiny, transformed into the Calamity-Destroying Sword Light, shattering the universe, reshaping chaos, and creating a new world.

The group of demons who surrounded Jiang Sheng and tried to kill him first suffered the pain of the universe being shattered, and then they were brutally struck by Jiang Sheng's world-shattering sword.

First, the sword light tore apart the flesh and soul, then the true spirit's origin was washed away by the power of the final calamity. When the final sword light that split the world and opened the heavens tore open the demonic sky and illuminated the starry universe, there were not many demons left standing around Jiang Sheng.

Those Heavenly Demons whose cultivation was below the third tribulation were all torn apart, their bodies and souls shattered, and obliterated by the sword light of the Three Calamities Annihilation. Those Heavenly Demons above the third tribulation, those with the cultivation of the third or fourth tribulation, were also covered in wounds even if their true spirits did not disintegrate in the sword light that created creation.

Looking around, the once raging demonic horde surrounding Jiang Sheng was now completely annihilated after the three tribulations. The third-tribulation demons were severely injured and on the verge of death, the fourth-tribulation demons were weak and feeble, and only the fifth-tribulation demon was in the best condition, but even he was not completely unharmed.

Jiang Sheng looked at the massive, mountain-like demon with thorns all over its body, which was still incredibly powerful and ferocious even after taking the full force of his Heaven-Slaying Sword. He gazed at the crisscrossing Calamity-Destroying Sword marks on the demon's body and the broken thorns, and slowly said, "You are indeed strong. Dare to state your name?"

The Great Demon slowly spoke: "Mountain Demon."

As he spoke, the great demon with two arms and four legs began to heal its sword wounds under the writhing of its bulging muscles. Countless granulation tissues grew wildly, forcibly closing the wounds. At the same time, broken and shattered thorns were slowly squeezed out of its body, and new thorns grew back.

Looking at the Fifth Tribulation Great Demon named Shan Kui in front of him, Jiang Sheng spoke again: "You should be an innate holy spirit of a certain realm, the master of a mountain ley line."

"You, who are born holy, are willing to submit to the devil?"

Shan Kui remained indifferent: "I was once the master of mountains and rivers, revered as the Great God of Mountains, and worshipped by all races."

"But this is not my wish. I do not wish to be confined to one corner of the world. I want to see the vastness of heaven and earth, I want to observe the emotions of all realms, and I want to fight to the death with the geniuses of all races."

"These are things that cannot be done by gods."

Jiang Sheng understood that all living beings, including humans, gods, demons, ghosts, spirits, and monsters, have hearts and thoughts, and are therefore sentient beings.

As sentient beings, we have seven emotions and six desires, and we have our own darkness and filth. Once discovered by the heavenly demons, we can silently and imperceptibly corrupt even the most divine beings, and they will fall into the form of great demons.

Just like the Fifth Tribulation Great Demon, the Mountain Demon, standing before us.

"Although you are only at the first level of cultivation, I can sense that you have the means to kill me."

"This is my fighting talent, which allows me to clearly sense the strength of my opponents."

"You're very strong, so I'll beat you to death, rip off your head, and use it as my Heavenly Demon Ring!"

As Shan Kui spoke slowly, a demonic ring burning with billowing demonic flames appeared behind his burly body with four legs and two arms. This demonic ring was composed of ferocious heads, and judging from their expressions, they were all forcibly removed after fighting to the last and being powerless to turn the tide. That was why their expressions were so ferocious and powerless.

Just by looking at this Heavenly Demon Ring, one can tell just how many powerful enemies and geniuses the Mountain Demon has killed.

As the Heavenly Demon Ring rose, surging and violent demonic energy surged from Shan Kui's body, causing Shan Kui's body to expand continuously until it reached a size of ten thousand miles. The overwhelming demonic energy enveloped Shan Kui's body, forming a layer of pitch-black skin that resisted the void turbulence and the storms of time within this space.

Now, tell me your name!

The mountain demon roared, its arms drawing upon boundless mountain energy as it crashed down.

In an instant, a mottled sword aura containing the power of the four elements of wind, thunder, water, and fire blasted away the demonic energy, shattering heaven and earth and clearing away the chaotic void.

Amidst the magnificent sword energy that shattered all laws, Jiang Sheng's voice was crystal clear, like a sword soaring into the sky, majestic and righteous, resonating in all directions.

"I am Penglai Lingyuan!" (End of Chapter)
