Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

The Xuanhuang Realm, a vast sea of ​​stars.

This sea of ​​stars hangs above the celestial dome of the Xuanhuang Realm, overlooking the human world, protecting the sun and moon, and regulating the four seasons, wind, rain, and tides.

Over the past 40,000 years, the stars in the sky may have changed a little, but the sun and moon remain the same.

Not only in this 40,000-year cycle, but even in the last cycle, the sun and moon still hang high in the sky, and the earth below remains the same earth.

Therefore, within the mountains and rivers, above the sun and moon, there are not only things of today, but also remnants of the past.

These things either rose and set with the sun and moon each day, or were buried deep underground, dormant and stagnant. To this day, some have been lost to time, while others still exist.

After the first year of the Heavenly Shattering of the Xuanhuang Realm, as the Xuanhuang Realm was continuously ravaged by demons and monsters, and as the Xuanhuang Realm became increasingly turbulent, more and more beings found opportunities and treasures in the mountains and rivers.

Not only the cave dwellings of the immortals who passed away in this Yuanhui, and the grotto heavens of the fallen immortals, but also the secret realms left behind by the previous Yuanhui are constantly being discovered.

This is also the method of self-salvation for the will of heaven and earth in the Xuanhuang Realm.

Only by reviving the opportunities buried deep within the Xuanhuang Realm can we save this world more quickly.

However, the opportunities and blessings left in the mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas can never compare to those hidden in the sun, moon, and stars.

However, in the present Xuanhuang Realm, there is no one left who can freely roam the heavens and earth and explore the starry sea.

It wasn't until Jiang Sheng arrived with the true disciples of the Eastern Heavenly Daoist School, until Jiang Sheng annihilated the demons on the Taiyin Star, and until Jiang Sheng fought the enormous, 100,000-mile-long, obese demon with earth-shattering force, that there was a slight sign of being disturbed and awakened deep within the Taiyin Star.

At this moment, within the thick ice layer of the Taiyin star, which stretches for tens of millions of miles, a point of light flickered slightly. Then, as if sensing something, this point of light began to wander and shuttle within the ice layer.

Amidst the frigid ice that could freeze even a Fifth Tribulation True Monarch or a Mahayana Immortal Monarch, this glimmer of light seemed to move merrily and freely, as if it were in an empty place.

Each time it leaps to a certain place, a patch of mysterious light is activated. As this fluorescent light jumps around, patches of mysterious light are activated, and spiritual patterns appear. Within the ice layer, spiritual traces and patterns are densely intertwined, forming a massive array.

This fluorescence was clearly not acting randomly; its intentional pulsation slowly activated the magic array that had been dormant for countless years. And deep within the magic array, something seemed to be awakened and began to revive.

Gradually, as the entire magic array within the ice layer came to life, streaks of mysterious and cold light darted about, and a palace hidden beneath the ice slowly began to glow.

This palace complex is crystal clear and exceptionally beautiful. It is buried deep beneath thousands of miles of ice and nourished by the essence of the moon. You can see the carved beams and painted rafters of the palaces, the jade railings and golden eaves of the corridors, the moon wells filled with celestial light and spiritual energy, and the laurel trees hanging with jade fruits and cold branches.

Stone steps connect the surrounding corridors and palaces, while secluded courtyards form forests, hiding magnolias and winter fungus.

This palace complex spans millions of miles in size, containing countless celestial treasures, and its ancient aura far surpasses that of forty thousand years.

Deep within this palace complex, in that cold, moonlit palace, a clear, cold voice slowly resounded:
"Forty thousand years have passed in the quiet years, and the changes of time have made it difficult to cross the sea into mulberry fields."

"In this Xuanhuang Realm, the aura of calamity is spreading everywhere, and the turmoil is rising again. The immortal sects and holy lands are all detestable!"

"It's just a pity for all the common people under heaven, who paid an immeasurable price for those who fought to become immortals."

With a soft sigh, candlelight seemed to flicker within the cold, moonlit palace, illuminating a beautiful, ethereal figure.

Meanwhile, far beyond the Xuanhuang Realm, in a vast and boundless world of unknown time and space, the slender figure kneeling amidst the vibrant red flowers covering the mountains slowly raised her head, gazing at the eastern region of the chaotic universe. It seemed as if she could see through countless years and spaces, and see the Xuanhuang Realm, which was deeply mired in the vortex of calamity.

"I never imagined that after so long, there would still be old friends around."

As she spoke, the slender figure lowered her head and carefully planted a bright red and beautiful flower. Then she looked at the turbid river flowing through the mountains and fields, sighed softly, and took out another flower from her sleeve, finding an open space to plant it.

Looking closely, all the flowers in this boundless wilderness were planted by this being himself, day after day, night after night, without stopping, spending countless hours to fill this wilderness with these flowers.

However, as flowers bloomed all over the mountains and fields, with each flower planted, this wilderness grew a little larger. As more and more flowers were planted, this wilderness continued to expand and grow, seemingly endless, making that figure the lonely and only prisoner in this world.

"One day, these flowers will bloom throughout all the heavens and the myriad worlds."

"That will be the day I leave prison."

The figure spoke calmly, without the slightest anger. She had already seen the future through the river of time; she would eventually leave this place—it was her destiny.

at the same time.

Above the Taiyin Star in the Xuanhuang Realm.

Originally scattered throughout the Taiyin Star, those Heavenly Demons who constantly absorbed the Taiyin Star's primordial power and eroded its celestial light and cold aura seemed to sense something, causing their eyes to turn bloodshot and them to go mad.

In the darkness, they seemed to sense something incredibly tempting. The blood of the Heavenly Demon began to burn and boil. They clearly realized that as long as they devoured a piece of that being's flesh and blood, they could elevate their rank to another level!
The Heavenly Demons also yearned for advancement, longing to break free from the control of other Great Demons and become the one and only Great Heavenly Demon Lord. They sensed the alluring aura emanating from the depths of the Taiyin Star, an aura that made their blood boil and their true spirits excited—an aura signifying a leap in rank and an elevation of true spirit!

In an instant, all the celestial demons on the Taiyin Star were in an uproar. They began frantically digging for passages to the depths of the Taiyin Star, sparing no expense on their own primal power as they desperately dug downwards.

Even when they dug until flesh was mangled and bones were broken, they never stopped.

Jiang Sheng then saw a giant demon resembling a serpent frantically burrowing down into the glacier. This demon had a hard shell and indestructible fangs, but in the collision with the ancient Taiyin ice, its shell wore down, exposing the flesh inside, and its fangs broke, splattering corrosive blood.

But this great demon still refused to give up. Even after burning its own demonic essence, it continued to dig, ignoring even when Jiang Sheng got close.

This strange change made Jiang Sheng frown. Wherever Jiang Sheng went before, these demons would rush up as if they had been starving for thousands or tens of thousands of years, wanting to devour Jiang Sheng's flesh and blood.

Now that even Jiang Sheng has abandoned his pure and ethereal aura, how can Jiang Sheng not be wary?
"Has this celestial demon gone mad, or has something happened to the Taiyin star?"

As he pondered, Jiang Sheng looked up at the thick, cold, moonlit clouds swirling above his head. After a moment's thought, he soared into the sky.

Despite the chilling clouds that could pierce through bones and freeze the soul, Jiang Sheng soared two million miles into the sky until he was about to disappear into them. Only then did he look down at the Taiyin Star while braving the raging storm of cold air.

At this moment, Jiang Sheng discovered that it wasn't just the insect demon he had encountered; all the heavenly demons from all directions were frantically digging into the glacier beneath their feet. Their frenzied actions seemed to be trying to dig through the glacier that had accumulated over tens of thousands of years on the Taiyin Star!
"These demons have truly gone mad?!"

Jiang Sheng was surprised and hesitant. After a moment of contemplation, he descended from the sky and killed the insect demon.

As the insect demon howled and screamed, Jiang Sheng pulled the Qingping Sword from its head.

Jiang Sheng casually pulled the nearly ten-thousand-mile-long insect demon out of the glacier. He then looked warily down at the pit that the insect demon had dug, which was only a few dozen miles deep.

However transparent the ice is, how can the light hidden inside penetrate the thousands of miles of ice?
Jiang Sheng even activated his Golden Eyes of Truth, but as his divine sense continued to penetrate the ice layer, the chilling intensity increased by a level for every hundred miles he sank deeper.

Even with Jiang Sheng's divine soul and spirit, which were comparable to those of a Fifth Tribulation True Monarch, he was almost frozen to dust after his divine sense penetrated the ice layer for only a million miles.

At first, Jiang Sheng's perception was very clear, and he could see everything in the ice layer. However, as he went deeper, his perception became more and more blurred and numb.

It was as if Jiang Sheng was standing naked in the snow and ice, seeing less and less, getting colder and colder, until finally everything in front of him was pitch black, as if he was about to freeze to death.

Sensing the numbness and chill emanating from his soul and spirit, Jiang Sheng had no choice but to withdraw his divine sense.

As the divine sense withdrew, a layer of profound coldness hidden within the Taiyin Glacier silently returned with the power of perception and attached itself to Jiang Sheng.

This profound chill was so eerie, it seemed to come alive, instantly freezing Jiang Sheng into an ice sculpture from the very beginning of his consciousness.

In an instant, a seven-foot-tall ice sculpture appeared beside the Ten Thousand Mile Insect Demon. Through the thin layer of ice, one could see Jiang Sheng's expression and clothing, and the wisps of cold air rising from his body.

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, the blazing combined true fire burned fiercely, instantly enveloping the entire ice sculpture.

True fire rose in Jiang Sheng's sea of ​​consciousness, and the deep, cold, and frozen Qingxuan Lotus Pool melted and thawed instantly as if it were exposed to the sun. The cold air attached to Jiang Sheng's muscles and bones was also immediately removed.

In an instant, Jiang Sheng's body was engulfed in a boiling fire. As the Yin-Yang Tribulation Extinction Three Transformations Five Elements Mystic Technique was in operation, the surging and scorching magical power continuously washed over every inch of Jiang Sheng's muscles and flesh.

Jiang Sheng's internal organs, meridians, and bones were all cleansed by the magical power, allowing him to break free from the ice.

The ice sculpture melted in the next instant, and Jiang Sheng soared straight into the air, rising millions of miles into the sky!

The chill within the ice layer was so eerie and inexplicable that Jiang Sheng almost became an ice sculpture on this Taiyin star when he wasn't careful!
Jiang Sheng took a deep breath, watching his breath turn into a hazy, icy mist and dissipate. He frowned and looked down at the Taiyin Glacier beneath him, and at the Heavenly Demons who, even as their bodies began to freeze, were still burrowing deeper into the Taiyin Star.

After a long while, Jiang Sheng's brows relaxed: "Whether these demons are crazy or insane, whatever they want to do, I will stop them!"

"Since they want to burrow into the depths of the Taiyin Star, I'll take this opportunity to kill them one by one!"

"Anyway, I have the fortune and merit of the Xuanhuang Realm protecting me, so who would complain about having too much merit and fortune?"

After some thought, Jiang Sheng managed to alleviate the chill he felt, then drew his sword and swooped down.

Deep within the Taiyin Star, beneath the millions of miles of ice, in the Moon Palace, a figure quietly observes the movements on the ice of the Taiyin Star, watching the young Taoist wielding a sword to slay the demon.

Within the palace, lanterns flickered, and a figure gazed at the Taoist priest, a slow smile playing on his lips. (End of Chapter)
