Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

Do not disturb the owner of this place.

The Crested Ibis Demon Lord looked around and saw wisps of golden flames leaping endlessly amidst the surrounding crimson fire. These golden flames seemed to be alive, as if they were entwined with various laws, causing the space to tremble and pulsate.

Fire Crow continued, "Once I've finished refining this feather for you, you should leave as soon as possible and not linger."

The Crested Ibis Demon Lord nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, I'll leave immediately once I've refined the Phoenix Feather."

Then, the Crested Ibis Demon Lord asked with some unease, "But this phoenix feather is of extremely high grade. If we refine it, won't the owner of this place be alerted?"

The Fire Crow looked at the Crested Ibis Demon Lord with considerable surprise: "It's just a phoenix feather. What does its rank matter? Why would that person be interested in such a thing?"

"What do you take that person for?"

The Crested Ibis Demon Lord was also puzzled: "Phoenix feathers should also have miraculous effects on the Golden Crow, so how could the master here not value them?!"

Golden Crow?!
Fire Crow was stunned, and the Crested Ibis Demon Lord, seeing Fire Crow's expression, also realized something was wrong: "Fire Crow, you're saying the master here isn't the Golden Crow?"

Fire Crow shook its head: "This is the Great Sun Star. There is only one master here. How could it be the Golden Crow?"

The Crested Ibis Demon Lord was startled: "What about this sea of ​​fire?"

The Fire Crow said, "This sea of ​​fire is my dwelling place. Although I am not a pure-blooded Golden Crow, I still have my own nest on this great sun and star for me to live in."

"This was also with that person's permission."

The master of the great sun and stars.
that
The Crested Ibis Demon Lord suddenly awoke, remembering the Sun Lord in the Twin Dao Palace of the previous Yuanhui that Jiang Sheng had mentioned, and couldn't help but ask in surprise, "But didn't the master of this place perish?"

To everyone's surprise, Huowu was also astonished and bewildered: "Who told you that the owner of this place had perished?"

"The master here has merely fallen into a deep sleep. That one is the Sun Lord! The sun has not fallen, how could that one have fallen?!"

"You can't say things like that carelessly. Once He wakes up, you won't be able to leave!"

The Crested Ibis Demon Lord was stunned: The Sun Lord hadn't fallen?!
Was Jiang Sheng lying to himself, or had he received false information?
Realizing something was wrong, the Crested Ibis Demon Lord hurriedly tried to contact Jiang Sheng using the communication jade pendant, but unexpectedly, the fire crow in front of him suddenly showed a look of fear and trembled as it shrank back.

At the same time, the entire sea of ​​fire seemed to sense something, and suddenly became incredibly docile from its raging and unruly state.

The Crested Ibis Demon King's ominous premonition grew stronger: "What's wrong?!"

The fire crow stared in horror into the distance, as if it could see the magnificent palace through the sea of ​​fire.

"The owner of this place seems to have been awakened!"

For a moment, the Crested Ibis Demon Lord was also horrified. As a primordial divine bird and a sacred being of fire, she could clearly sense the changes in the surrounding sea of ​​fire. It felt as if the entire sun had come alive, as if some kind of will had been revived, and the world was changing for it.

Such a terrifying tremor must mean that a supreme being has awakened, which further solidified the Crested Ibis Demon Lord's belief: Jiang Sheng was not the one who tricked them, but rather Jiang Sheng was the one who was tricked!
"damn it!"

"Even someone as clever and insightful as Ling Yuan could be deceived?"

"The master of the Sun Star has awakened; Ling Yuan is probably in danger now!"

After some thought, the Crested Ibis Demon Lord tried to use the communication jade pendant again, but to his despair, he discovered that the communication jade pendant had failed!
To be precise, the use of jade pendants for communication is strictly prohibited on the sun and stars of today.

This is not some kind of restriction or magic array, but law, rule.

These are the heavenly rules and regulations established by a being who holds the mandate of heaven.

Upon discovering that the communication jade pendant was unusable, the Crested Ibis Demon Lord sighed, "This time, we're doomed."

Fire Crow cautiously sensed for a long time, then looked at the Crested Ibis Demon Lord, who seemed to have given up entirely: "What's wrong with you?"

The Crested Ibis Demon Lord glanced at the Fire Crow and shook his head.

There are some things that Huowu may not know, but doesn't the crested ibis know them?
How did they arrive at the Xuanhuang Realm, and who is to whom the Xuanhuang Realm is in its current state?
While it can be said that the Heavenly Demon Mo Xuan was greedy and insatiable, thus corrupting the origin of the Xuanhuang Realm, the Hunxuan Daojun of the Xuanhuang Realm truly perished at the hands of the Dejing Daojun of Penglai.

As luck would have it, it was Penglai Spirit Abyss that brought them to the Xuanhuang Realm.

Now that the one on the sun and stars has awakened, who among them will be left out?
"Fire Crow, you are not a bad person at heart, so you should leave quickly. The sun and stars will soon be less peaceful."

The Crested Ibis Demon Lord had made up his mind. Since he couldn't escape anyway, he might as well let the kind-hearted fire crow go, so that he could survive for a while longer.

Fire Crow, however, seemed indifferent: "I'm already dead, so where can I go?"

"Meeting you today is certainly your destiny, but isn't it also my destiny?"

"We're both firebirds. I'm using the last bit of my strength to help you. When you get out of here, people will still remember me. That's enough."

"Crested Ibis, stop thinking about it and hurry up and refine your phoenix feathers!"

As he spoke, the Fire Crow transformed into a golden flame and landed on the Crested Ibis Demon Lord. As the golden flame burned fiercely, the phoenix feather began to radiate multicolored light. At this moment, the Crested Ibis Demon Lord had no other choice but to concentrate on refining the phoenix feather.

Amidst the sea of ​​fire, the true form of the Crested Ibis Demon Lord was coiled in its nest. As the golden flames enveloped it, a single phoenix feather gradually began to merge with the Crested Ibis Demon Lord's true form, and faint, iridescent five-colored hues appeared on the Crested Ibis Demon Lord's tail feathers.

At the same time, after Jiang Sheng left, a faint voice echoed from within the dilapidated palace.

“He is a promising talent. Although he is not a successor of my Shuangyi Dao Palace, we are not helpless against him.”

"The Moon Goddess transmitted the Guanghan Technique to him, but it also caused cold energy to grow within his body, forcing him to come to the Sun Goddess to harmonize Yin and Yang."

"Once one enters the Sun Star and obtains my cultivation technique, one will unknowingly transform into a being of the Yang element."

"The moon's icy mountain carries the heart's fire, while the sun's fiery sea passes over the spleen's earth."

"After the tribulation of the heart fire, one's lifespan is boundless; after the tribulation of the spleen earth, one's spirit is immortal."

"When he survives the three tribulations, it will be the time when the lineage of my Shuangyi Dao Palace will be restored to the world."

"It's just that you've had to work hard, Yan Yi. I had to make you risk your life to investigate his true nature, but when I return, I will make sure you return as well."

The sound echoed in the empty, dilapidated palace, unheard and unnoticed by anyone. Only a wisp of ember rose without wind, as if it were the last struggle of the Immortal Lord Shaoyang Yanyi.

“The sun, moon, and stars serve as instruments.”

"Heaven, Earth, and Man work together."

Inside the Great Sun Shrine, Jiang Sheng gazed at the couplets on the hall before him.

This couplet has only ten characters in total, but its meaning is extraordinary.

"The Three Powers are Heaven, Earth, and Man; the Three Luminaries are the Sun, Moon, and Stars." "Using the Three Luminaries as the ritual framework, and taking Heaven, Earth, and Man as the foundation of practice, one transforms the extremes of the Three Powers into their purest form; this is purity."

"And this plaque complements it."

As he spoke, Jiang Sheng looked at the plaque hanging above the hall: "Mysterious Dharma."

"This place should be where Taoist scriptures and practices are recorded."

As Jiang Sheng pushed open the palace door, he was greeted by an ancient and rustic atmosphere.

Although no one has visited it for 40,000 years, there is no dust inside the hall. Only the ancient aura that spans two eras lingers between the beams and pillars, bringing with it traces of time.

The hall was extremely spacious, divided into twelve levels, each a hundred feet high, with cabinets and shelves all around, containing scrolls of jade slips.

Just as Jiang Sheng guessed, this place is a collection of the true scriptures and supernatural powers of the entire Great Sun Divine Palace. Looking up, one can see that the scrolls of jade slips are emitting a faint glow, and billions of glows are flashing between the twelve layers, like a river of stars flowing. One can imagine how many scriptures, techniques, supernatural powers and secret records are stored here.

Jiang Sheng strolled through the palace, inspected several bookshelves on the first floor, and then went upstairs.

The Sutra Repository in this Great Sun Shrine is different from the Taoist Repository in Penglai.

The Penglai Daoist Scripture Pavilion has seven floors, each corresponding to different levels of cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities; while the Great Sun Divine Palace's scripture hall has twelve floors, which are distinguished according to the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, each with its own unique features.

For example, the first layer consists of biographical stories and other biographical tales; the second layer consists of various cultivation arts such as alchemy, artifact crafting, talismans, and array formations; the third layer consists of celestial deductions such as astrology and destiny analysis; and the fourth layer consists of magical arts and supernatural powers such as the Five Elements and Four Symbols.
On the second floor, Jiang Sheng found several rather remarkable alchemical and talismanic texts, which perfectly suited his alchemy and talisman-making skills; unfortunately, these texts could not be read at will, and one had to borrow them based on their status.

However, Jiang Sheng is a true disciple of Penglai, and the alchemical texts here are not the true methods of this era.

If it were the Yin-Yang Orthodox Scripture Pavilion of this Yuanhui, Jiang Sheng could still find a way to obtain a few True Inheritance Jade Tokens and True Lord Jade Tokens of the Yin-Yang Orthodox Scripture Pavilion; but where is Jiang Sheng supposed to find the identity jade token of the Shuangyi Dao Palace in the Scripture Pavilion of this Yuanhui?!

As he was pondering, Jiang Sheng's eyes lit up. He immediately left the Sutra Repository and returned to the Judicial Hall. Looking at the crown on the throne, Jiang Sheng reached out and took the robe. Sure enough, he found a jade plaque on the robe.

The front of the jade plaque is engraved with a radiant sun and a majestic divine palace, while the back features interlocking Yin-Yang Dao patterns, with a line of seal script in the middle: "Immortal Lord of Justice, Yan Yi Shao Yang".

"With this jade pendant, one should be able to access the alchemical and talismanic scriptures in the Sutra Repository."

Upon returning to the Sutra Repository, Jiang Sheng successfully borrowed the alchemical texts again, thanks to the jade tablet!
"The Heavenly Yang Elixir Classic"

This alchemical text was written by a Heavenly Yang Divine Lord during the previous Yuanhui (a period of time in Chinese mythology).

Besides the several pill formulas created by Tianyang Shenjun himself, there are also many high-grade pill formulas collected by Tianyang Shenjun. In addition, Tianyang Shenjun also recorded his alchemy experience and many insights.

Compared to those pill formulas, Jiang Sheng cared most about the insights and techniques of alchemy.

The second floor of the Sutra Repository contained no fewer than ten million volumes of alchemical and talismanic scriptures, containing countless formulas and talismans. Jiang Sheng did not intend to make copies of them all; he simply collected a few volumes and continued on his way.

As for the Sutra Repository here, once the Xuanmen Calamity ends, all the billions of scriptures on the twelve floors of the Sutra Repository will be collected by the Eastern Heaven Daoist School. Penglai, Qinghua, Tianhe, and even Yaochi and Chixiao will each have a copy.

Therefore, Jiang Sheng was in no hurry to waste time here. He simply selected a few volumes that were currently useful and then continued to study the Three Calamities Method, the Four Symbols Divine Power, and the Five Calamities Essence.

"Observe the methods of the Three Calamities and the supernatural powers of the Four Symbols to fully understand the wonders of the Three Transformations and the Five Elements; learn the difficulties of the Five Calamities and cultivate the essentials of crossing the calamities to become the True Lord of the Five Calamities."

"If I study these scriptures and key points properly, my accumulation over the three kalpas is sufficient; I only lack the foundation."

"With my current accumulation of immortal energy and magical power, even if the Taiyin Yuanjun said that I could survive the three tribulations on the sun star, it would still take several hundred years of accumulation."

"To overcome the three tribulations in a short period of time, either I can find enough powerful medicines and precious pills, or I can harmonize Yin and Yang and borrow their power to break through."

Jiang Sheng muttered to himself as his figure disappeared into the Sutra Repository.

For several days, Jiang Sheng moved around the Great Sun Divine Palace, searching everywhere and actually found many precious pills that had been preserved for tens of thousands of years and still had medicinal effects, as well as a batch of intact large medicines.

The Great Sun Divine Palace truly surprised Jiang Sheng. Many of the halls and medicinal fields were actually equipped with arrays and restrictions that could freeze time and space, keeping the time in that small area still at that moment, and preventing it from shifting with the passage of time.

Such methods cannot be created simply by having enough rare and precious materials and countless resources. Beneath that massive consumption of resources lies an understanding and mastery of various great principles such as time, space, and time.

If one had not mastered the relevant laws of these great paths, it would have been impossible to create such a stagnant spacetime that has remained unchanged for tens of thousands of years.

Moreover, it would be one thing if such methods were only used in a very few places, but Jiang Sheng searched through ten palaces and found that three of them had such formations. This seemingly desolate and deserted Great Sun Divine Palace seemed to be maintained by some inexplicable means, remaining unchanged through the changing of eras and tens of thousands of years.

Beneath the magnificent and imposing exterior of this Daishin Shrine lies a turbulent undercurrent.

However, Jiang Sheng seemed oblivious to all of this, only delighted by his gains. After searching for five or six days, Jiang Sheng chose to return to the starting point to check on Lin Fan and the Crested Ibis Demon Lord.

Unexpectedly, when Jiang Sheng returned, he did not see Lin Fan and the Crested Ibis Demon Lord, but only Tian Ming'an and the other three, who were struggling under the Fire Virtue Talisman.

After five or six days of meditation and cultivation, Tian Ming'an and the other three were in much better condition. Thanks to the abundant solar essence and yang fire above the sun and stars, they not only completely expelled the yin cold energy from their bodies, but their cultivation also improved.

Jiang Sheng looked at the four people's condition and couldn't help but laugh: "First, they experienced the cold air of Taiyin entering their bodies on Taiyin Star, and then they experienced the scorching heat of the sun on Taiyang Star."

"With this alternation of Yin and Yang, it would be difficult for your cultivation not to improve."

Hearing their master's teasing words, the four of them blushed with embarrassment, knowing full well how much trouble their blind impulsiveness had caused Jiang Sheng.

Seeing the expressions on the four people's faces, Jiang Sheng waved his hand and said, "Alright, since you are all safe and sound, then I can rest assured."

"Speaking of which, neither your Uncle Lingzhao nor the Crested Ibis Demon Lord have shown up?"

Tian Ming'an replied, "Reporting to Master, I haven't seen either Uncle Lingzhao or the Crested Ibis Demon Lord these past few days."

Jiang Sheng nodded, his expression unchanged: "It seems they haven't finished their business yet. However, you should not stay on the Sun Star for long, otherwise you will be corroded by the Yang Fire and turned to ashes."

"I will send you back in my avatar. If anyone asks, just say that I am going to study the method of earth on the sun and stars in order to overcome the three tribulations. Tell them not to worry."

Tian Ming'an said solemnly, "This disciple understands."

Immediately, the breath of pure energy that Jiang Sheng left in the Fire Virtue Talisman transformed into a human form, took the jade token bestowed by Jiang Sheng, and swept away Tian Ming'an and the other three into the air.

Jiang Sheng watched the four people leave, silently observed for a moment, and then turned and left.

"Liver (Wood), Heart (Fire), Spleen (Earth)."

"Physical body, lifespan, and spirit."

"Physical immortality, longevity, and spiritual immortality are the essence of vital energy and spirit."

"When the three flowers gather and the five elements condense, longevity is attained, and the Great Dao can be expected."

Jiang Sheng smiled, his figure disappearing into the sea of ​​fire without a trace. (End of Chapter)
