Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

"Buddha, aren't you dead?!"

The old man, Chi Yue, stared at the monk before him, his body numb and chilled, his expression filled with despair.

Those unfamiliar with the term "Wu Jue" have no idea what it represents.

Demon Buddha Wujue is a great Buddhist master who emerged from the countless worlds. His Buddhist supernatural powers are enough to rank him among the top five in Buddhism!

The true value of the Ganges Realm is something that only Buddhist practitioners can understand.

Just as the Mountain and River Realm is the cradle of the Eastern Heavenly Daoist School, giving birth to three True Yang Masters within one realm, the Hengsha Realm can also be called the ancestral land of Buddhism.

Whether it is the True Buddha of Freedom who has already joined the Heavenly Demon Path and reversed the interpretation of Buddhist scriptures to call himself the Buddha Emperor, or the Demon Buddha of No Awareness who has fallen into the Chaotic Demon Path and poisoned all worlds and bewitched sentient beings, they all came from the countless worlds.

Not to mention, in the vast universe there is also the Golden Enlightenment Buddha, who combined the Lapis Lazuli Path and the Vajra Path to establish the Bodhi Path lineage.

In all the heavens and myriad realms, apart from the Buddha Golden Awakening, who is the master of the Dao, which great Buddhist master dares to confidently suppress the Demon Buddha Without Awakening?
Old Man Chiyue had personally witnessed the overwhelming demonic power of the Unfeeling Demon Buddha. If he hadn't been tricked into the Xuanmen Tribulation by the Free and Easy Mysterious Lord and encountered the Kaiyuan Daojun who brought great prosperity to the Xuanmen, he would never have perished!

Originally, the old man Chiyue thought he had escaped the control of the Unfeeling Demon Buddha, since the Unfeeling Demon Buddha had already perished and he could be free and unrestrained.

But the old man Chiyue never expected that he would see this Buddha who had brought chaos to the world again nearly five hundred years after the death of the Demon Buddha Wujue!

"Foolish disciple Yue, why are you so unhappy to see this Buddha?"

"Could it be that you've already decided in your heart that I, the Buddha, am dead?"

"Sigh, they're just too ungrateful. They've only been gone from my Buddhist temple for a short time, and they already don't recognize me anymore."

Wu Jue wore a smile, but the entire Chaotic Demon Cave was chillingly cold.

Whether it was the Chaotic-Mouthed Demon Lord, the Eight-Headed Demon Lord, or the Moon-Swallowing Evil Lord, the Three-Tailed King, and other evil cultivators and demonic demons, they all felt a chill run down their spines and trembled with fear. Although they did not feel any pressure, these evil cultivators and demonic demons, who were all at the Integration Realm, dared not make the slightest move.

This Chaotic Demon Cave, which they had meticulously crafted, was no longer safe in their divine senses. The Chaotic Demon Cave, which was originally constructed of rocks and set up with various magic arrays, seemed to have come to life. The rocks seemed to be writhing and activating, and the magic arrays also twisted and changed. The rocks turned into a carpet of flesh and blood, and the magic arrays turned into a turbid soup of saliva. Being in this Chaotic Demon Cave was like being in the stomach and intestines of some being, and they could be digested at any time.

And this is definitely not their misconception!
The garbled-mouthed demon lord slumped in his chair, his obese body trembling like a pile of rotten flesh. If he wasn't mistaken, they were currently inside the stomach of the senseless demon Buddha who had replaced the officials of the Divine Firmament Imperial Palace!
"oops"

Wujue sighed softly, looking at the human body he had just obtained, his eyes not very satisfied: "My disciple Chiyue, I, the Buddha, am indeed dead."

"That was the Kaiyuan era, which carried the great power of the Xuanmen. No matter how powerful I, Buddha, am, how could I withstand the fortune of the nine realms and thirteen lineages of the Xuanmen?"

"However, although I, Buddha, am dead, a trace of my pure Yang soul still remains. It did not enter the cycle of reincarnation, nor was it swept into the river of time."

"Originally, I thought that even this wisp of my remnant soul was about to perish, but I never expected to meet you, my disciple, Chi Yue. It seems that the Chaos Universe doesn't want me to die so easily either."

Upon hearing the words of the Unfeeling Demon Buddha, the Disorderly Mouth Demon Lord felt immense regret. Why did he have to win over the old man of the Foolish Mountain?

If we hadn't won over the old man Chi Yue, the Demon Buddha Wu Jue might never have come knocking on our door!

Now that he has not received help from the old man Chiyue, and has also encountered a great demon like the Wujue Demon Buddha, the Chaotic Mouth Demon Lord feels extremely unlucky. Why is the Wujue Demon Buddha not completely dead?

However, the Demon Lord of Chaos dared not reveal any of his thoughts, and dared not even entertain too many ideas, for fear that the remnant soul of the Unaware Demon Buddha would notice them.

After all, even if only a wisp of their soul remained, it was still a remnant soul of the Dao-holding realm, far superior to the evil cultivators and demonic practitioners of the Integration and Refinement realms.

Moreover, in truth, Wujue Demon Buddha is one of the ancestors of all the demonic paths in the heavens; they can all be considered Wujue Demon Buddha's disciples and grand-disciples.
"Foolish disciple Yue, Buddha, I am not dead, are you happy or not?"

"Do you still recognize me as Buddha?"

The Unfeeling Demon Buddha laughed, but the Foolish Old Man trembled all over: Although the Foolish Old Man was a demon cultivator, it did not mean that he was truly ungrateful. Being a demon cultivator still had a way to survive, but following this Unfeeling Demon Buddha would surely lead to a dead end.

Being skinned alive and dismembered after being used by them is considered a good end; there are countless others who suffer far worse fates!

These were all things that Old Man Chi Yue had witnessed with his own eyes, but he was powerless to resist them.

Putting aside the cultivation techniques he practiced, all his supernatural abilities came from the Unaware Demon Buddha. Even if they were discarded, they combined would still be no match for the Unaware Demon Buddha, even if the Unaware Demon Buddha in front of him was just a remnant soul of that powerful Daoist.

After all, they were merely demonic cultivators who did not belong to the Pure Yang path, not some Pure Yang powerhouse.

Even for a pure Yang, defeating the remnant soul of the Unfeeling Demon Buddha is no easy task. It should be noted that the one who caused the Unfeeling Demon Buddha's demise was the Kaiyuan Daojun, who was known as the number one in upholding the Dao and who, with the momentum of the Xuanmen's great prosperity, was invincible and killed gods and Buddhas alike. Now, the Kaiyuan Daojun is the third Heavenly Venerable of the Eastern Heavenly Daoist School, and is known as the Supreme Heavenly Venerable Kaiyuan, the Master of Destiny True Yang!

Now, Wujue is nothing but a wisp of a remnant soul, and Chiyue is merely a fused body. What makes him comparable to that Great Heavenly Venerable of the Eastern Heaven?!

Finally, the old man Chiyue knelt on the ground, lowered his head and put his hands together in prayer: "Disciple Chiyue greets Buddha."

Wujue smiled with satisfaction: "That's more like it."

"Look at you all, barely surviving in this tiny swamp. What kind of life is this?"

"Follow me, and I will give you a completely new identity, allowing you to change your appearance throughout the Three Realms."

"Don't worry, I won't send you to your deaths on purpose, nor will I send you to fight to the death with the True Lord of the Eastern Heaven."

"All you need to do is encounter the people from Penglai Lingyuan, fight them, and then retreat in defeat."

Hearing the words of the Unfeeling Demon Buddha, the Foolish Old Man Yue, the Rambling Demon Lord, the Eight-Headed Demon Lord and others exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.

"That's right. Come, come, let this Buddha bestow blessings upon you, so that you won't be easily killed if you encounter the True Lord of the Eastern Heaven."

"At that time, Buddha will be very sad."

The Unfeeling Demon Buddha smiled and raised his hand, giving Old Man Chi Yue and the others no chance to object. Immediately afterward, Old Man Chi Yue and the others felt something take root in their dantian, then break through their dantian and grow wildly in their bodies.

Their internal organs, meridians, and acupoints—their physical bodies were no longer under their control and were constantly changing.

Finally, when the old man of the foolish mountain, the demon king of the chaotic mouth, and the others collapsed on the ground, drenched in sweat and panting heavily, they felt as if their cultivation had improved a little more.
"Go, follow Shenxiao's command, and do what you are supposed to do."

"I, Buddha, will always protect you."

The Demon Buddha Wujue has vanished, and the officials sent by the Divine Firmament Imperial Palace have fallen to the ground, leaving only a clean human skin without any flesh or bones.

The Foolish Old Man, the Rambling Demon Lord, and the Eight-Headed Demon Lord looked at each other and finally sighed helplessly. Although their physical bodies were still under their control, and even more resilient, stronger, and more powerful than before, they could clearly sense the ubiquitous flesh threads within their bodies.

In a sense, they had become flesh and blood puppets of that demonic Buddha, only retaining their sanity.

The Three Realms and the Seven Heavens.

The Three Offices and Five Capitals of the Heavenly Lord of Justice have been established, with the Five Capitals already fully structured, and all the Capital Lords, Left and Right Deputy Capital Lords, and their subordinate Daoist soldiers and spirit beasts have been assigned.

With the strong support of Penglai, Qinghua, Tianhe, Chixiao and Yaochi, Jiang Sheng's fellow disciples from the Five Directions Dao Sects not only contributed money and manpower, but also their own lives. Therefore, Jiang Sheng didn't have to put in much effort before the Five Capitals were ready to mobilize.

Thanks to the improved facilities in the five capitals, Jiang Sheng can focus more attention on the three departments.

The five capitals of the Heavenly Lord of Justice are each managed by one of the five Daoist sects, while the three offices are divided into three by Jiang Sheng. One office is occupied by the Jinhua Mountain lineage, with the original Seven Xuanqing disciples joining it. This office will become one of the foundations of the Jinhua Mountain Immortal Daoist lineage. Of the remaining two offices, seven True Lords, including the True Lord Zhengyang whom Jiang Sheng invited from Emperor Huaguang, will temporarily control one office. The remaining office is entrusted to Li Jianchun, Huang Wensheng, and others for temporary management.

After more than a year, once everyone had become somewhat familiar with the Heavenly Court, Jiang Sheng summoned them again in the main hall of the Judicial Heavenly Lord's Palace.

"After more than a year, everyone should be quite familiar with the Heavenly Court's systems and procedures."

"It's not that I'm unwilling to give everyone more time to get to know each other, but that we can afford to wait, but the world can't."

Jiang Sheng didn't stand on ceremony with the others: "We're all acquaintances, so let's skip the formalities. Ming'an, tell us the details."

Tian Ming'an stood up and bowed to the group of True Lords, then said, "My fellow disciples, I have been ordered by our master to give you a detailed explanation of the situation in the various continents and the four seas of the human world."

"Since the birth of the position of the Heavenly Lord of Justice, and His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor has widely proclaimed the establishment of positions and sought out worthy men throughout the myriad realms, the Divine Firmament Imperial Palace, which was originally responsible for cleansing the demons and monsters of the human world, has stopped dealing with human affairs. As for why the Divine Firmament Imperial Palace is like this, all of you uncles know the reason, so I will not say any more."

Upon hearing this, the True Lords chuckled knowingly. The Divine Firmament Emperor had disregarded his duties and tried to seize the position of the Judicial Heavenly Lord from Jiang Sheng. Not only did he fail to secure the position, but he also lost face and dignity. He had also failed to fulfill his duties to the Heavenly Court. It could be said that he had lost everything. Now, who doesn't know that the Divine Firmament Emperor has been marginalized and has become invisible in the Heavenly Court?
Tian Ming'an continued, "Over the years, evil spirits have been causing trouble everywhere in the human world. Although most of them have been suppressed by the mountain gods, land gods, and guardian deities of the various regions, some evil spirits cannot be cured by humans and require the intervention of all of you uncles."

"Among these demons, there are three in the East Sea, two in the North Sea, three in the West Sea, and the most in the South Sea, with six."

"Among the various continents, there are five in Zhongtian Yanzhou and seven in Nanxiao Continent."

"These places require at least fifteen Nascent Soul True Monarchs and eleven Void Refinement True Monarchs."

After Tian Ming'an finished speaking, the expressions of the True Monarchs also became serious. At least fifteen True Monarchs at the Integration Stage were needed, but they couldn't gather even one at the Integration Stage right now.

Jiang Sheng took over the conversation, his tone calm and his expression indifferent: "The Three Realms are vast and boundless, and the calamities in the human world alone are far more than these."

"The reason why only these reports came up is because a large part of them were either handled by our Eastern Heaven Daoist family, or by the Great Lingyin Temple in the west and the Demon Emperor Palace in the north."

"As for these demons, the East Sea region doesn't need to worry too much. I've already asked Uncle Yu Ming, Uncle Yu Che, as well as Ling Yu and Ling Zhao to take action and use the banner of my Judicial Heavenly Lord's Mansion to quell those three demons in the East Sea."

"The remaining Integration Realm cultivators don't need to worry about you for now; you only need to focus on the Void Refinement Realm cultivators."

With that, Jiang Sheng grabbed a command token from the table in front of him: "Xuan Jing, listen to my command!"

"I hereby command you, along with Xuanxing and Xuanque, to lead a million heavenly soldiers and ten nets of heaven to the Miluo River in the Southern Continent to capture the monstrous three-headed dragon, regardless of whether it is killed or wounded!"

Xuanjing Zhenjun immediately stood up and accepted the command token: "Xuanjing accepts the order!"

Jiang Sheng grabbed another command token and looked at Myeongdong: "Myeongdong, listen to my command!"

"I hereby command you, along with Mingzhen and Minghao, to lead a million heavenly soldiers and ten Heavenly Nets to the Shattered Star Sea of ​​the South China Sea to capture the evil insect-like Daoist, regardless of whether he is killed or wounded!"

Myeongdong Shinjun also accepted the order: "Myeongdong obeys!"

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Sheng continued to issue orders: "Ling Yan, listen to my command! You, along with Ling Xuan and Ling Qiu, are to lead a million heavenly soldiers and ten Heavenly Nets to Xuan Gang Mountain and Da Po Ze in Zhong Tian Yan Zhou to capture the Chaotic God Hei Chong and the Rebellious God Shang Po, regardless of whether they die or are injured!"

"Su Jing, listen to my command! You, along with Su Zhao and Su Huan, are to lead a million heavenly soldiers and ten nets to the Liuwei Sea area of ​​the Western Sea to capture the monstrous six-winged insect, regardless of whether there are casualties!"

"Zhu Yu, listen to my command! You, along with Zhao Xing and Zhen Lei, lead a million heavenly soldiers and ten Heavenly Nets to the Chaotic Light Sea of ​​the South China Sea to capture the evil spirit, the withered skeleton, regardless of whether it is killed or wounded!"

As the True Lords received the order, Jiang Sheng took a breath and said, "Of the eleven Void Refining locations in the mortal realm, excluding the two in the East Sea, the remaining nine are to be dealt with in Qinghua Capital, Tianhe Capital, Chixiao Capital, and Yaochi Capital, and two in Penglai Capital. These make up six Void Refining locations, leaving three places remaining."

"True Lord Zhengyang, True Lord Lingxu, True Lord Yinyue, True Lord Taixiang, True Lord Wanfa, True Lord Mingxiang, and True Lord Xianyu, the seven of you will lead a total of three million Dao soldiers. I will also deploy twenty Heavenly Nets and Earthly Nets. You will be dispatched to three sea borders in the South China Sea to capture those three demons, regardless of their lives!"

All the True Lords received the command and agreed.

After making arrangements for the various Void Refinement Realm prodigies, Ling Yan hesitated for a moment before asking, "Senior Brother Ling Yuan, you said before that the chaos in the mortal realm would require at least fifteen Integration Realm True Monarchs and eleven Void Refinement Realm True Monarchs."

"We, Penglai, will take care of one Nascent Soul cultivator and two Void Refinement cultivators from the East Sea. You have also arranged for us to capture the remaining nine Void Refinement cultivators."

"But what do you plan to do with those fourteen Nascent Soul Realm prodigies, Senior Brother?"

At this moment, everyone looked over, and Jiang Sheng chuckled lightly: "I have my own way of dealing with those guys."

As he spoke, Jiang Sheng looked at Li Jianchun: "Li Jianchun!"

Li Jianchun stepped forward: "Disciple obeys!"

With a flick of his sleeve, Jiang Sheng unleashed a streak of azure light that circled Li Jianchun three times before landing in his hand. All the True Monarchs looked closely and saw a three-foot-six-and-a-half-inch long magic sword, its entire body azure, shimmering with the marks of the Bifeng wind and the power to extinguish the Three Calamities.

The sword's hilt resembles a lotus, and two immortal seal characters are branded on its blade: "Zhu Xian!"

This sword is none other than the Immortal Slaughtering Sword, one of the four swords forged by Jiang Sheng with wind, thunder, water, and fire, used to ward off the three calamities and bring about the end of the world.

Jiang Sheng laughed and said, "Jian Chun, take the Zhuxian Sword and my talisman, go into the North Sea, and kill those two combined beings. Bring back their heads."

Li Jianchun was a chivalrous and righteous wanderer by nature. Now that the renowned Zhuxian Sword was in his hands, Li Jianchun was extremely excited and immediately bowed and said, "Disciple obeys!"

Jiang Sheng then looked at Huang Ping'an: "Ping'an, I will bestow upon you the Immortal Slaughtering Sword. You shall take the Immortal Slaughtering Sword and my talisman, enter the Western Sea, and bring back those two monstrous geniuses at the Integration Realm to see me."

Immediately, Jiang Sheng looked at Qiu Buyu: "Buyu, I will bestow the Immortal-Slaying Sword upon you. With the Immortal-Slaying Sword and my decree, you shall enter Zhongtian Yanzhou and slay those three rebellious gods and bring them back to me."

With the Immortal Slaughtering Sword, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword, and the Immortal Annihilation Sword bestowed upon him one after another, Jiang Sheng looked at his eldest disciple, Tian Ming'an: "Ming'an, you'll have to work harder. There are four Nascent Soul Realm prodigies in the South Sea. You will take the Immortal Trapping Sword into the South Sea, kill them, and bring them back to me."

As a crimson flame entered his arms, Tian Ming'an, holding the Immortal-Trapping Sword, said, "Disciple obeys!"

With four disciples at the Nascent Soul stage and four magic swords, Jiang Sheng dared to send them to kill a chaotic god-like prodigy at the Integration stage. Such confidence was something that no Integration True Monarch could be so calm about.

However, the order was given by Jiang Sheng. The four magic swords were renowned, nurtured with Qi and merit and tempered with Xuanhuang Qi, known as the Four Swords of Annihilation and Trapping. Therefore, the True Monarchs did not find anything wrong with it. Using the Four Swords of Annihilation and Trapping, which were capable of killing Mahayana cultivators, to deal with those monsters in the Integration Realm was already a waste of their talents.

Finally, Jiang Sheng looked at Lu Wu Bazhen: "Li Xuan, Lan Rui, Zhang Shou, Zhong Huo, Cao Yang, He Lian, Han Qing, and Lü Yan, I hereby appoint you eight as the Divine Lords of the Zhangwu Division of the Judicial Heavenly Lord's Palace, and bestow upon you three projections of the Qingping Sword, as well as nine sword talismans personally inscribed by me. You shall lead the Daoist troops and ceremonial guards into the Southern Xiao Continent, slay those three demonic cultivators at the Integration Realm, and bring their heads back to me."

The next moment, three palm-sized black magic swords and nine green talismans fell into the arms of Li Xuan, Lan Rui, and the others. Li Xuan and the other eight people quickly bowed down: "We accept the order!"

At this point, Jiang Sheng had arranged for people to be stationed in all the places of chaos in the human world. Looking at the confident crowd in the hall, Jiang Sheng laughed and said, "The human world has been lively for the past few hundred years. It is all thanks to the Divine Emperor of Shenxiao. Otherwise, I would not have known that the human world could have degenerated to this extent."

"Now, whether it's the Divine Emperor of Shenxiao or the various divine cultivators of the Heavenly Court, they are all waiting to see me make a fool of myself, thinking that I will be helpless and unable to clean up the mess in the human world."

“But they underestimated me. Didn’t they want to see how capable I am? Let them see that I, Lingyuan, am quite capable.”

"Everyone, there's no need to be overly cautious or make a big fuss this time. I've already contacted all my senior uncles and elders. When the time comes, the stars of the Big Dipper and the Southern Dipper of the Dipper Department will appear in broad daylight and shower you with starlight to bless you. At the same time, the gods of the Thunder Department and the Wind Department will also stir up wind and thunder to enhance your prestige."

"As for myself, I am here in the Palace of the Heavenly Lord of Justice, keeping an eye on everything. If you need any support, just send me a message. I have already received the talisman and brought this thing from the Eastern Heaven."

As he spoke, Jiang Sheng raised his hand to show a triangular jade talisman about the size of a palm.

Mingdong, Xuanjing, Zhu Yuzi, Lei Zhenzi, and other True Lords from various sects who participated in the Xuanmen Calamity all showed expressions of surprise and delight as they looked at the small, exquisite triangular jade talisman in Jiang Sheng's hand.

"Jade True Taiyi Heaven?!" (End of Chapter)
