Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

The Radiant Light of Heaven!

The four Taoist seal characters, written in a vigorous and elegant style, immediately struck Jiang Sheng with a sense of grandeur that left him speechless.

Upon first seeing these four characters, Jiang Sheng seemed to see a blazing sun reigning over the Xuanhuang Realm, and the boundless Yang Fire illuminating the vast universe.

These four characters seem to represent the chaotic universe, the vast world, exuding boundless divine power under the blessing of heaven and earth, like the sun and moon hanging high, or like the Dao Lord himself; they are full of confidence and self-assurance, as if the person who wrote these four characters can represent the vast universe and the will of heaven and earth.

But thinking about the origin of this divine palace, Jiang Sheng couldn't help but sigh that these four words were not at all false or boastful.

The phrase "Heavenly Radiance" is perfectly suited to describe the sun and stars, or to describe that Daoist Lord, and this plaque hangs here as well.

"Heavenly Radiance".

"The vast universe is filled with the blazing sun, shining brightly in the sky, awe-inspiring in all directions."

"Such spirit is truly worthy of that person."

Sun King Jin Hao, the master of the sun and stars in the Xuanhuang Realm, the Pure Yang Dao Lord of the Dao Realm, and the master of the Shuangyi Dao Palace. If this person is not worthy of the title "Heavenly Dao Radiance", then who else in the entire Xuanhuang Realm is worthy of these four titles?
Even the Moon Lord of Taiyin Guanghan would not use these four characters.

"Use your own heart to represent the heart of Heaven, be like the great sun, and govern the way of Heaven."

"Even such beings cannot survive the final calamity of the Yuanhui era?"

As Jiang Sheng pondered, he unconsciously thought of the Moon Lord of Taiyin on the Taiyin Star. After all, with the methods of that Taiyin Yuanjun, she was able to stagnate her own life force and separate her own fortune and destiny on the Taiyin Star to avoid the end of the Yuanhui. There was no reason why the Sun Lord Jinhao could not do the same.

Either the Sun Lord was too proud to care about this, or the Sun Lord perished before the end of the world for some reason. Otherwise, there is no reason why the Moon Lord has survived until now, while the Sun Lord has already reincarnated.

As he pondered, Jiang Sheng looked at the magnificent and imposing Great Sun Palace before him and couldn't help but sigh softly.

"We'll know everything once we go in and see for ourselves."

As he spoke, Jiang Sheng climbed the steps, ignoring the imposing iron armor on both sides, and walked straight to the palace gate. The palace gate was extremely tall, about a thousand feet high and more than three hundred feet wide, with fiery clouds and dragons engraved on the two doors.

Above the left and right gates of the palace, two fiery dragons faced each other, their claws outstretched to protect the sun in the center. As Jiang Sheng walked to the palace gates, the two fiery dragons seemed to come alive and turned to look at him. However, before the two fiery dragons could get angry, Jiang Sheng merely glanced at them, and the two fiery dragons were so frightened that they shrank back to the palace gates and pretended to be dead.

Back in the Mountain and River Realm, Jiang Sheng had slain countless dragons from the three seas. The true dragons who had managed to survive in the East Sea, South Sea, and West Sea were terrified at the mere mention of Lingyuan. Unconsciously, Jiang Sheng possessed an invisible aura that instilled fear in the true dragons.

Other creatures are fine, but whenever a true dragon appears in front of Jiang Sheng, it can sense the terrifying aura of mountains of corpses and seas of blood emanating from him. It is an indelible and terrifying pressure left behind by the slaughter of countless dragons.

As Jiang Sheng ascended to immortality and progressed through the stages of Void Refinement and Body Integration, although his aura became increasingly ethereal, the aura that even true dragons feared did not dissipate with his enlightenment. Instead, it became even more refined, though it was difficult for those who were not dragons or snakes to detect it.

With Jiang Sheng's current level of cultivation, even true dragons would be 30% weaker in aura upon seeing him, and they would be unable to unleash even half of their divine powers and abilities in a fight with him.

Although the two fiery dragons above the palace gate were quite powerful, they were still no match for Jiang Sheng. Therefore, they were frightened and shrank back after being glanced at by Jiang Sheng.

At this moment, as the two fiery dragons extended their claws and made contact with the great sun in the center of the two palace doors, a slight tremor was heard, accompanied by a deep rumble, and the palace doors, which were tens of feet thick, slowly opened, revealing a crack leading into the palace.

Although it was only a tiny crack, it was enough for Jiang Sheng.

After sensing that there was no sign of life in the lower hall, Jiang Sheng entered the hall. As the vibrant aura of a Daoist immortal from the upper three realms appeared in the hall, the originally deathly dark hall suddenly began to brighten.

First, the beams and pillars inside the hall emitted golden light, followed by the celestial glow emanating from the surrounding walls. As the beams and pillars shone one by one, and as the celestial glow rippled across the surrounding walls, the entire hall became clearly visible to Jiang Sheng.

Inside the spacious and tall palace, fiery dragons coiled around golden pillars, spitting out pearls that emitted bright light; the surrounding walls shimmered with light, displaying images of mountains, rivers, and the four seas of the human world.

Jiang Sheng glanced at the walls and immediately recognized that the engravings on them depicted the mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas of the four regions of the Xuanhuang Continent.

In an instant, the sound of flowing water seemed to come from above. Jiang Sheng looked up and saw countless lights shining brightly on the dome, like a dazzling sea of ​​stars. As each star was lit up, when all the stars on the dome shone together, the red sun in the center of the dome emitted a golden glow, illuminating the entire palace.

Under the blazing sun, the starry sky shone brightly, and the world was at peace. Inside the main hall, candles burned eternally, and beaded curtains swayed in the breeze. Deep within the hall, on the three-tiered, nine-step imperial throne, stood a golden throne.

On the left and right sides of the throne are engraved six fiery dragons, with the six fiery dragons guarding a sun disc behind it. The sun disc is raised high, with flames rising, symbolizing the supreme sun.

At this moment, there was no one on the throne, but a set of clothes was quietly placed on it.

Jiang Sheng looked at the enormous and majestic throne and cautiously stepped forward. As he continued to advance, a profound realization arose in his mind.

In a daze, Jiang Sheng seemed to have become the master of this palace. He could monitor the situation of the world at any time through the surrounding walls. He could confirm the stars and the secrets of heaven and destiny by looking up. It was as if the entire world was under his nose and under his control.

Step by step, Jiang Sheng walked on the vermilion imperial carpet with dragon and phoenix patterns. Gradually, all kinds of mysterious light shone around Jiang Sheng, followed by auspicious clouds and rosy mist. At this moment, Jiang Sheng's aura was vast and magnificent, and he was majestic and awe-inspiring.

In the dim light, it seemed as if a crown was falling on Jiang Sheng's head and a royal robe was being worn on his body, but Jiang Sheng was still immersed in that mysterious enlightenment and did not care about anything in the outside world.

In the early spring of the 23,152nd year of the Shuangyi calendar.

Inside the Great Sun Shrine, Jiang Sheng sat on the throne, with three fiery dragons coiling around him on each side, forming armrests. Behind him, six fiery dragons danced like the back of a chair, guarding the floating vermilion sun wheel.

At this moment, Jiang Sheng looked down at the trembling figure kneeling on the ground in the hall with an indifferent expression.

Above the dome, thousands of stars shone and twinkled, and the crimson sun, surrounded by countless stars, cast a pillar of fire that enveloped the trembling figure. To the left and right of the figure, four Sunfire Soldiers blocked any possibility of escape.

As the figure knelt on the ground, trembling uncontrollably, a voice echoed within the hall: "Chen Shuo, the Deputy Hall Master of the Northern Region Immortal Lord Hall, has disregarded the Heavenly Rules and acted with insatiable greed. Investigations have revealed that he has embezzled vast sums of money in both the Pill Hall and the Weapon Hall, resulting in the Pill Hall's precious pills being reduced to less than one-tenth of their original quantity and efficacy, and the Weapon Hall's magical artifacts being of inferior quality and far less powerful than before."

When the crimes of the immortal named Chen Shuo were revealed one by one, Jiang Sheng finally spoke slowly: "By imperial decree, Chen Shuo is removed from his position as the deputy hall master of the Northern Region Immortal Lord Hall, stripped of his rank, his immortal bones removed, and sent to the Cold Profound Prison Realm."

The four Sunfire Dao soldiers pierced Chen Shuo's limbs with chains, dragging him out of the main hall. Throughout the entire ordeal, Chen Shuo did not utter a single word.

In the year 37,506 of the Shuangyi calendar, autumn arrived.

Inside the Great Sun Shrine, Jiang Sheng sat on his throne, looking down at the three figures below.

"Wang Chen, Deputy Hall Master of the Eastern Region Immortal Lord Palace; Nan Guang, Star God Lord of the Southern Heaven; and Yi Huo, Lord of the Six Regions of the South Sea, have violated the Heavenly Rules."

As the crimes of the three powerful immortals were revealed, Jiang Sheng still spoke without hesitation: "By imperial decree, Wang Chen, Nan Guang, and Yi Huo are stripped of their posts, demoted, and sent to the Cold Profound Prison Realm."

Next came the summer of the 46,100th year of the Shuangyi calendar.

Jiang Sheng was also sitting in the Great Sun Divine Palace, judging those who violated the heavenly rules and disregarded the laws of the Twin Dao Palace.

From the celestial deities of the heavens to the guardian immortals of the four seas, some people believe they can do things without anyone noticing, unaware that their every action is seen through Jiang Sheng's eyes. Through the reflections on the surrounding walls and the flow of the starry sea above, Jiang Sheng can clearly perceive the entire Xuanhuang Great Thousand World and monitor all living beings in the Three Realms.

As scenes from the past continued to flash before Jiang Sheng's eyes, he finally walked up to the throne. Only then did Jiang Sheng come back to his senses.

The confusion in Jiang Sheng's eyes vanished in an instant, and he regained his composure: "Just now, I shouldn't have been hallucinating. It was more like I was observing from the perspective of an outsider, watching the events that happened in this hall during the last Yuanhui."

"From this perspective, this place should not be the daily residence of the Sun King Jinhao, but at most a place of judgment."

"And the one sitting on this throne is not the Sun King Jin Hao himself, but rather an avatar of the Sun King, responsible for judging and dealing with the immortals and gods of the Xuanhuang Great Thousand World."

"The two Dao Lords who were judged by the Sun Star and then imprisoned in the Twin Dao Palace by the Moon Star have certainly thought things through thoroughly."

As Jiang Sheng pondered, he involuntarily raised his hand to pick up the crown on the throne, but stopped himself in an instant.

Looking at his restless right hand, Jiang Sheng snorted and put his hand behind his back, looking warily at the crown in front of him.

Just now, Jiang Sheng experienced from the perspective of that Japanese emperor's clone what it means to have great power and the power of life and death.

He holds the reins of heavenly rules and oversees all immortals and deities. Anyone who violates these rules, regardless of their status or cultivation, will ultimately kneel before him, trembling and imprisoned in the freezing prison.
Jiang Sheng now understood the purpose of the hall with the plaque of the Great Sun Radiance: this place must be the place where the Heavenly Laws are governed.

This explains why there is a couplet engraved in front of the palace: "Follow the heavenly rules, punish the immortals and gods, oversee the four seas, and be majestic in the three realms."

Holding the heavenly rules and regulations of a vast world, such authority is truly magnificent and extraordinary.

Just as Jiang Sheng was pondering, a cold, calm voice, seemingly Jiang Sheng's own, rang in his ears.

"Can you understand what the rules and regulations of Heaven are, and what the responsibility of the judiciary is?"

The sound was like a thunderclap, startling Jiang Sheng.

Subconsciously, the Qingping Sword appeared in Jiang Sheng's palm. His powerful divine sense spread out, covering the entire hall without leaving a blind spot. At the same time, the Five Elements Heavenly Thunder began to gather in Jiang Sheng's left hand, and the Four Symbols Sword Qi around his body was drawn but not released.
Jiang Sheng was fully prepared. As long as the speaker dared to make the slightest mistake, Jiang Sheng would deliver a fatal blow.

However, what surprised and dismayed Jiang Sheng was that the voice seemed to be everywhere, and no matter how vigilant Jiang Sheng was, it still appeared in his ears.

Why are you so nervous and uneasy?

"You possess the fortune and merit of the Xuanhuang Realm, and you are also the one who governs the Heavenly Rules. Is my question so difficult to answer?"

To wield the heavenly rules?!
Jiang Sheng's heart stirred, and a three-inch-sized, lustrous jade seal flew out from his sleeve and hovered in front of him.

This is the Jade Seal of the Heavenly Ruler of Justice.

This is the rank of a Divine Lord in the Integration Realm under the command of the Purple Emperor of the Panfeng Realm. He holds the Heavenly Rules, administers Heavenly Punishments, disciplines immortals and gods, and oversees the four directions.

Since this jade seal fell into Jiang Sheng's hands, he has been nurturing it day by day. After more than a thousand years of nurturing, the Judicial Heavenly Monarch Seal has not only recovered to the level of the Integration Realm, but has also been completely controlled by Jiang Sheng.

Dispersing the Five Elements Divine Thunder from his left hand, Jiang Sheng slowly grasped the jade seal and said in a deep voice, "Heavenly Rules are the rules of heaven and earth; precepts are the universal rules."

"The judiciary, in upholding its responsibilities, should adhere to the will of Heaven and Earth, fulfill the wishes of all beings, and conform to the laws of the Three Realms."

"In my humble opinion, those who hold the reins of heavenly rules and carry out heavenly punishments can be summed up in just four words: follow the will of heaven and comply with the will of the people."

As Jiang Sheng shared his insights, the indifferent, calm voice seemed to ponder: "Follow the will of Heaven and the people, follow the will of Heaven and the people."

"What is Heaven, and what is Man?"

"Is the will of Heaven and Earth Heaven? Are the precepts and laws of Heaven Heaven? Are the rules and regulations of the Dao Palace Heaven?"

Jiang Sheng shook his head: "It's all heaven, yet it's not heaven either."

"The Daoist concept of nature is called the naturalness of heaven and earth, which also refers to the unity of heaven and man."

"Therefore, Heaven is man, and man is Heaven."

"Which of these so-called immortals and gods were truly born holy? Did they not gradually rise from the mortal realm to where they are today?"

The voice seemed to laugh: "Your answer is quite amusing."

"I, the One Yuan Society, hold the reins of the Heavenly Rules and Precepts of the Great Thousand Worlds, and sit in this Hall of Justice to judge the immortals, gods, demons, and monsters in the Three Realms."

"No matter what level of attainment or background one may have, anyone who violates the Heavenly Rules and Precepts will have to make a trip here before me."

"To uphold the Way of Heaven is also to follow the Way of Humanity, and the harmony between Heaven and humanity is the essence of immortality."

As he spoke, a figure appeared behind Jiang Sheng.

Realizing someone had appeared behind him, Jiang Sheng turned around without hesitation to make a move, only to find that what appeared was just a projection, a projection imprinted in this palace, which had existed for an unknown period of time.

The projection stood with its hands behind its back, wearing a crown and imperial robes. Its majestic appearance and boundless aura resembled the sun, Jin Hao Ri Jun.

However, Jiang Sheng knew that this was not the Sun King Jin Hao Ri Jun.

"I am the God of Justice of the Xuanhuang Realm, the Immortal Lord Shaoyang Yanyi."

The Immortal Lord Shaoyang Yanyi?!
An avatar at the level of a Great Ascension Realm Immortal Lord?!

As Jiang Sheng pondered, the Immortal Lord Shaoyang Yanyi said, "It is thanks to you that I was able to awaken from my slumber."

"When the final calamity of the Yuanhui era was approaching, I fell into a deep sleep along with this palace. Unknowingly, my physical body disappeared without a trace, and my soul and true spirit dissipated, leaving only this projection and the thoughts hidden in the projection, which means that I have not yet completely reincarnated."

"Fortunately, I have met you."

After saying this, the immortal lord's figure dispersed and he appeared directly on the throne, and the crown placed on the throne also came back to life, regaining its spiritual light.

With the crown's blessing, the Immortal Lord's body became increasingly solid. He looked at Jiang Sheng before him and smiled slightly.
"Fellow Daoist, the Shuangyi Dao Palace is in dire need of reconstruction. How about you stay and help me?"

"When the Shuangyi Dao Palace is revived, you will surely receive a share of the Golden Purple Edict." (End of Chapter)
