Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

"Got you!"

The indifferent Daoist voice resounded in the Daoist's heart like a thunderclap from a clear sky, causing the Daoist to subconsciously look in the direction of the sound.

But in the space between reality and illusion, which was originally filled with distorted laws and corrupted monsters, a pair of eyes appeared out of nowhere. The Taoist did not know how to describe those eyes. The azure-gold pupils were like the eyes of a god, and the blue lotus in the pupils slowly rotated like the cycle of the Great Dao. These eyes hung high in the sky like the sun and moon, as if they had existed since ancient times and had been looking down on everything in the space between reality and illusion.

With just one glance, the Taoist felt his scalp tingle, as if he saw wind, thunder, water, and fire covering the sky, and a chaotic lotus that would annihilate everything. It was the surging, turbulent energy of calamity that would engulf the heavens, and the boundless, devastating force that would destroy all worlds.

Unbeknownst to him, blood tears streamed from the Taoist's eyes, and blood seeped from his ears, nose, and mouth, driving him into a frenzy: "What is that?!"

"What is that?!"

Those cyan-gold eyes watched silently as the Taoist went mad, as he tore off his own scalp, as he pried open his skull to reveal what was inside.

In the Taoist's mind, there was no such thing as a brain; there were only rings of molars and a fragment that beat like a heart.

As the skull was pried open, perhaps because a draft had broken in, the Taoist priest suddenly calmed down.

The Taoist priest stood on the lotus platform of blood and flesh, his skull exposed and the foul wind blowing through him. He tilted his head and looked into the pair of indifferent blue-gold immortal eyes, which were like those of a god, through his bleeding seven orifices: "How did you find my way here?"

The Azure-Gold Immortal looked on indifferently, while a Daoist voice resounded from all directions: "It is all thanks to you."

The next moment, in the Dongyang Realm, where the Heavenly Dao was distorted and the laws were corrupted, muffled thunder rumbled in the originally dim and scarlet sky.

boom!
Thunder rumbled, shaking the endless, twisted monsters on the corrupt earth. With the thunder, a gale swept in from beyond the heavens, clearing the sky of blood and gore. Then, blazing flames descended from the sky, burning away the filth of the world and incinerating the corrupt land and its twisted monsters. When the corrupt earth was thoroughly burned by the fire, and when thousands upon thousands of twisted monsters turned to ashes, mighty rivers surged in, washing away the filth, and everything was reborn.

Thunder roared, wind blew, fire blazed, and water surged.

As wind, thunder, water, and fire manifested one after another, something in the darkness seemed to cast its gaze upon the Eastern Yang Realm. The surging wind, thunder, water, and fire gathered in the sky, evolving into a magnificent and otherworldly Azure Lotus Sea. As one azure lotus and one black lotus bloomed within the Azure Lotus Sea, thousands of sword lights fell like rain, annihilating and corrupting the earth, and purifying the distorted laws.

These scenes left the people of Dongyang Realm dumbfounded and the cultivators of Dongyang Sect filled with awe. On the Dongshen Dharma Boat, Lin Fan said to Duobao beside him with some helplessness, "They said they were handing over Dongyang Realm to us, but we've only just made our appearance and this master is already trying to steal the limelight."

Above the corrupt earth, Lingqiu hovered in mid-air, gazing at the falling Three Calamities Annihilation Sword Light, and at the twisted and corrupting power that had vanished beneath the sword energy. Her eyes were red, but she revealed the happiest smile she had shown in all her time in the Eastern Yang Realm: "Senior Brother Lingyuan, you've finally come!"

In an instant, wind, thunder, water, and fire swept across the four directions, and the power of the five elements evolved and reincarnated. Surrounded by wind, thunder, water, and fire, and within the five elements' reincarnation ring, in the vast sea of ​​azure lotuses, a lotus bud that was half azure and half black bloomed leisurely. As the lotus bud opened, a figure materialized from the void and manifested in the Eastern Yang Realm.

Neither the beings of Dongyang Realm nor the cultivators of Dongyang Sect, including the mad Taoist and the billions of twisted monsters, recognized the figure or could see its appearance clearly.

But the moment the figure appeared, they all had the same thought in their minds: The Heavenly God of Justice of the Three Realms, Jade Emperor Spirit Abyss True Lord, has arrived!

"wrong!"

Lin Fan reacted the fastest. He looked at Jiang Sheng, who had appeared in the sky, with burning eyes: "That's an illusion, not the real person! Yuan Chen didn't descend to this realm here, so where is he?"

Duobao realized: "The Judicial Heavenly Lord is a Mahayana level being, and he himself has surpassed the Five Kalpas level of cultivation. It would not be easy for him to forcibly descend upon the Eastern Yang Realm. So once he expends a great deal of effort to enter, he must be heading straight for the main target!"

As they spoke, the two looked at each other in bewilderment:
"He lies between reality and illusion!"

at the same time.

Within the realm of Dongyang, between reality and illusion, the Taoist stared blankly at the blooming azure lotus flower before him, and at the figure in a blue crown and black robe emerging from the lotus.

Wearing a jade crown with stars on her head, a black robe with lotus patterns, a belt with dragons swallowing clouds around her waist, and a green bamboo and crane cloud coat on top.

The figure was handsome and dignified, with auspicious energy intertwined above his head like a blue-purple canopy, and four colors swirling behind his head forming a double-shaped Dao wheel. His eyes, blue-gold in color, contained lotus blossoms, just like the eyes that were hanging high in the sky at this moment!
It's so beautiful! The presentation, the aura—this is exactly how he imagined himself to look.

The Taoist priest pondered for a moment, then uttered, "The Heavenly Lord of Justice, Penglai Spirit Abyss!"

It was not a test, but an affirmation.

The moment the figure emerged from the Azure Lotus Sea and appeared before him, the Taoist knew that Huang Wensheng's beloved uncle, the Heavenly Court's Judicial Lord, hailed as the contemporary leader of the Three Realms, Penglai Lingyuan, had truly arrived!
How did you find me?

The Taoist asked the same question again. He was too curious. He was clearly hidden in the deepest part between the reality and illusion of the Dongyang Realm. All around him were distorted laws and polluted Heavenly Dao. In the already corrupt Dongyang Realm, he could be said to be inconspicuous.

Those he can't beat can't find him, and those who find him can't beat him; he's practically invincible by nature.

The Judicial Heavenly Lord before him was almost at the level of Pure Yang. Logically speaking, even the Eastern Yang Realm couldn't squeeze in with such a position. How did he manage to squeeze in and find his own place?

Jiang Sheng held the Qingping Sword in his right hand, a thin golden thread wrapped around his left hand, and looked at the Taoist in front of him: "Every word has its source, and every thought that is remembered will have its echo."

“This Dongyang Realm is indeed a murky swamp, but your repeated chanting of my name is like constantly throwing pebbles into a field; the continuous ripples are enough to help me find you.” The Taoist was puzzled; he had no knowledge of such things.

However, the Taoist didn't care. If Jiang Sheng were outside the Dongyang Realm, he would indeed be helpless. But Jiang Sheng was inside the Dongyang Realm. The Heavenly Dao, the Origin, and the Laws of the Dongyang Realm had all been corrupted and controlled by him. So what if his rank was close to that of a Pure Yang?
Jiang Sheng is fighting against the entire Dongyang Realm here; Jiang Sheng cannot win!

"so good."

The Taoist priest sighed, looking at Jiang Sheng with some reluctance: "You are so handsome, you look like a god, I really can't bear to kill you."

"Fine, I'll just peel off your skin and stick it on my face, then I'll be a god."

Before the words were finished, a violent tremor erupted between reality and illusion. The distorted power of the laws transformed into countless scarlet, decaying hooks that shot out from all directions, attempting to turn Jiang Sheng into a hedgehog. At the same time, the Taoist, along with his flesh-and-blood lotus platform, retreated rapidly.

"Penglai Lingyuan, the contemporary leader of the Three Realms and the Great Thousand Worlds."

Huang Wensheng said, "You are very strong, then let me see."

"Hahahaha!"

The Taoist priest laughed wildly, as if he could already see Jiang Sheng trapped between reality and illusion, bound to death by the twisted laws, his cries for help going unanswered.

However, to the Taoist's surprise, Jiang Sheng shook his head when faced with the countless chains of law from all directions. These weak chains of law were far inferior to the Heavenly Locks in the seventh Heavenly Palace, which contained boundless heavenly might and Daoist charm and were almost imbued with the will of the Heavenly Emperor.

On the Qingping Sword, wind, thunder, water, and fire converged into the blade, and the sword intent of the Three Calamities Extinction condensed into sword energy. The mottled sword energy pulsed on the blade, and the overwhelming power that could annihilate everything made the Taoist's scalp tingle once again.

Wait a minute, my scalp is practically gone, so why does it feel numb and tight?
The Taoist was bewildered when he saw a dazzling sword light bloom between reality and illusion.

"Severing the Heavens".

Jiang Sheng uttered two words, and in an instant, sword light burst forth, shattering everything in all directions!

All the distorted laws and corrupt Heavenly Dao were annihilated under this sword. The magnificent sword light, with its fierce and unstoppable domineering power, created a 30 million-mile blank space between reality and illusion. The space between reality and illusion in the Dongyang Realm almost collapsed because of Jiang Sheng's sword!
In the present world of Dongyang Realm, all beings in Dongyang Realm, including Lin Fan, Duobao, and Lingqiu, could see the void of Dongyang Realm suddenly distort and then crack inch by inch. The connection between the real world and the void seemed to collapse, and the connection between the real world and the void was directly severed.

The Taoist looked around at the vast emptiness, staring blankly at the twisted and corrupt power that had been wiped out. He couldn't understand how Jiang Sheng could so easily destroy the power of the Pure Yang Dao.
"This sword strike is said to shatter all laws; you should have seen Lingqiu use it."

"However, that girl's technique wasn't authentic. I'll let you experience what the real Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique is like."

The sword that cuts through the heavens, the will that cuts through the heavens, the laws are distorted, and the Heavenly Dao is corrupted—so what?

With a single sword strike, he cut it off and obliterated it!

As the power of wind, thunder, water, and fire dissipated from the Qingping Sword, a mysterious sense of time and years lingered around it. The sword light shimmered like a still moon over autumn water. The Daoist was startled. Before he could even use his skills, a wisp of sword light rippled over, as if it had severed the fate of time and cut off the cause and effect of the years.

"Severing the passage of time."

Time has passed, and life has faded.

With a light touch on his neck, the Taoist's head fell off, and the corrupted fragments in his brain instantly disintegrated. However, before they could escape, they were completely annihilated by the sword intent of calamity and destruction, along with the Taoist's life force.

Ultimately, the Taoist was merely a cultivator who had reached the Upper Three Realms through brute force. In this Eastern Yang Realm, he seemed invincible in controlling the power of distortion and corruption, but this power was not something he had cultivated himself. He was merely borrowing its power without truly understanding its essence.

The Taoist's last gaze fell upon the slender, otherworldly figure that approached his head, looking with some disappointment at the open skull: "It's merely a point of corruption, not the source."

The Taoist opened his mouth reluctantly, but then fell completely silent.

Between reality and illusion, Jiang Sheng frowned slightly. He had spent a great deal of effort squeezing into the Dongyang Realm and using the thread of cause and effect to find this guy, but what he found was only the source of corruption within the Dongyang Realm, not the source of corruption of this Dao Transformation Residual Poison, which was truly a pity.

However, at least the Eastern Yang Realm was preserved.

In the blink of an eye, the four swords of annihilation and annihilation flashed out from Jiang Sheng's sleeve. Looking at the four swords that were buzzing incessantly, Jiang Sheng laughed and said, "Go have some fun."

Immediately, the four swords emitted a joyful sword cry, recklessly sweeping away all corrupt and twisted power between reality and illusion. Those strange birds, flesh mountains, corrupted plant spirits, and human cultivators that were still between reality and illusion were reduced to ashes before they could even react.

While the power of distortion and corruption is indeed formidable, the status of the Dongyang Realm cannot support the true power of distortion and corruption. Jiang Sheng's Three Calamities Annihilation Sword Intent and Slaughtering Traps Sword Qi are also extraordinary.

Jiang Sheng glanced one last time at the Taoist's empty head, his eyes filled with a mixture of disgust and pity:

"They have the intention to pursue the Way, but lack the heart to do so; once corrupted, they no longer even know who they are." (End of Chapter)
