Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

The Heavenly Evil Ancestor has perished.

This fall was exceptionally thorough, yet it did not cause the slightest ripple in the myriad realms.

Logically speaking, when a Pure Yang-level expert falls, especially someone like Tianxie, a former master of the Dao and a ruler of the unorthodox path, there should be extraordinary phenomena throughout the heavens and myriad realms upon their demise. There would be a great sun rising in the sky, blood rain falling from all heavens, and other extraordinary phenomena of the Great Dao.
But Tianxie's demise meant nothing.

It was originally a remnant soul that had broken free from the cycle of reincarnation, and its demise was naturally carried away by the wind, without a sound.

However, with the fall of the Heavenly Evil Ancestor, in several middle-thousand worlds and seven or eight small-thousand worlds in the southern part of the Three Realms Great Thousand, more than a dozen young cultivators who usually appeared perfectly normal, humble, gentle, and polite, and who were hailed as the hope of their sects and the future of their families, also suddenly disappeared without a trace, leaving not even a speck of dust behind, let alone their corpses.

Even in the vast Three Realms, in the Southern Continent, several people disappeared without a trace in villages outside the True Cloud Dao Sect. Some said they had obtained a predestined method to cultivate, while others said they had offended Dao Sect disciples and were killed. No one knew where those people went, and ultimately no one cared.

Just like the fall of the Heavenly Evil Ancestor, it was gone in a gust of wind.

After sending the Heavenly Evil Ancestor into reincarnation, Jiang Sheng stood quietly in the desolate sea of ​​stars, savoring the wonder of that sword strike. With one strike, all laws were broken, cause and effect were severed, and everything came to an end.
That sword strike was executed with exceptional smoothness, his thoughts were clear, and the Great Dao aided him. With one sword, he severed cause and effect and severed fate. However, it was not entirely due to his strength; just as the fall of the Heavenly Evil Ancestor was not entirely due to that one sword strike.

"The path of cultivation is long and arduous; we must continue to strive."

Jiang Sheng exhaled a long breath of white air. As the white air rose, Jiang Sheng turned around, tore open the void, and disappeared into the void passage.

With the matter of the lingering poison of Daoist transformation now settled, the troops of the Heavenly Emperor's Palace scattered throughout the realms should return to the Heavenly Court. After all, the Queen Mother's Peach Banquet is just around the corner, and he still needs to make preparations.

The silent starry river returned to calm, undisturbed. However, after Jiang Sheng left, a figure emerged from the void, gazing intently at the place where the Heavenly Evil Ancestor had fallen, and at the once again shattered Heavenly Evil Five Poison Furnace.

The Heavenly Evil Five Poison Furnace, the pure Yang treasure of the Left Path Ancestor, the Lord of the Dao, Heavenly Evil, is also his natal treasure. This treasure can suppress human desires, tolerate the evil of all living beings, absorb the filth of heaven and earth, and collect the silt of the abyss. In the end, it transforms into the poison of the Great Dao, causing seven kinds of fatigue and five kinds of injuries, and a hundred kinds of congenital diseases. Whether mortal or cultivator, no one can escape the decay.

Even though it is broken, it is still a treasure that is hard to find even in the unorthodox path. Not to mention the unorthodox path, who in all the heavens and myriad realms can ignore a broken treasure that once held the Dao?

But Jiang Sheng simply left, showing no interest in this priceless treasure.

The handsome and celestial-like Zizai Zhenfo gazed at the Heavenly Evil Five Poisons Furnace, the greed in his eyes gradually dissipating and turning into calm: "With a gust of the Void Dao wind, the body perishes and the soul vanishes, and all karma is settled."

"That person's methods have become increasingly formidable. He only possessed a trace of spirituality within Lingyuan, and even before his true self arrived, he was able to locate Tianxie across countless dimensions and most of the myriad realms, and then send Tianxie to his next reincarnation."

"I advised him to hide long ago, but he insisted on being greedy. It seems that I am not destined to own the Heavenly Evil Five Poison Furnace."

Having said that, the True Buddha of Freedom turned and left without any hesitation, just like Jiang Sheng, without showing the slightest greed for the Heavenly Evil Five Poison Furnace.

After the departure of the True Buddha of Freedom, the Heavenly Evil Five Poison Furnace hung quietly in the desolate sea of ​​stars, as if waiting for something.

After a long while, a gust of wind rose, and the Heavenly Evil Five Poison Furnace was swept into the void by the wind.

"All personnel, return to Heaven."

"The Zhenxiao Dao Sect will take over the rest of the matter."

On the Dongshen Dharma Boat, Jiang Sheng issued orders to the Three Departments and Five Capitals of the Judicial Heavenly Lord's Palace.

The Hundred Fruits Realm, the Eastern Flow Realm, and the Peony Realm, these middle-level realms ultimately belong to the True Cloud Dao Sect and the Heavenly Court, and have little to do with the Eastern Heaven. This time, the cleansing of the filth and evil spirits in various realms has already earned enough merit. As for the subsequent restoration of each realm, the True Cloud Dao Sect will naturally have to do its work.

In an instant, the Dao soldiers from all realms began to return to their ranks, squads of Heavenly Mystery Puppets were collected by the magic boat, and the enormous Battle God Machine also strode heavily into the cabin of the Cave God-level magic boat. After everything was collected, the magic boat soared into the sky and broke through the void, returning to the Three Realms.

Outside of Nanzhao Boundary, the matter is not yet resolved.

The Southern Illumination Realm is on the verge of collapse and destruction. Currently, the cultivators of the Eastern Heaven are urgently taking away the surviving beings from the Southern Illumination Realm.

Meanwhile, Yu Ming Zhenjun was writing something. When Jiang Sheng returned and saw Yu Ming Zhenjun writing so diligently, he couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Uncle-Master, what are you doing?"

Yu Ming Zhenjun said, "This time, I brought out Yu Zhen Taiyi Tian, ​​so I must record its performance, power and various conditions. The people below cannot understand or write it down, so only I can write it down myself."

Jiang Sheng understood: "I see. Although the power of this Jade True Taiyi Heaven is not as great as it was during the Xuanmen Calamity in the Nine Provinces, it can be considered stable and reliable."

During the Xuanmen Calamity, the three families of the Eastern Heaven and the Chixiao Dao Sect joined forces, temporarily piecing together the Jade True Taiyi Heaven with their respective magic boats. Then, using four pure Yang treasures as the hub, they blasted and sank Mingzhou, the central continent of the Nine Provinces, and destroyed the mountain gate of the Qiankun Dao Sect. Kunhe Daojun also perished in the Jade True Taiyi Heaven.

Back then, the Jade True Taiyi Heaven was incredibly powerful, but its madness was terrifying, far from the reassuring presence it is now.

Yu Ming Zhenjun snorted: "Back then, there were four pure Yang treasures in Yu Zhen Taiyi Heaven, each of which came from a patriarch who had reached the Dao realm; now, this Yu Zhen Taiyi Heaven is a reforged version of our Eastern Heaven, unlike the previous temporary patchwork product. It is a complete whole, with natural spiritual energy, and is naturally much more stable."

"Moreover, there are no more Pure Yang Treasures at the Dao Holding Realm in this Jade True Taiyi Heaven. How can it be unreliable?"

Jiang Sheng glanced at the Jade True Taiyi Heaven, which hung silently in the chaotic void, its entire body black like a pitch-black sun: "So that's how it is."

Yu Ming Zhenjun put down his pen and asked with some curiosity, "That one has completely perished?"

Jiang Sheng nodded: "They have naturally gone through the cycle of reincarnation."

Upon hearing this, True Monarch Yu Ming's eyes lit up with a mixture of eagerness and excitement: "Quickly! Bring out the Heavenly Fiend Five Poison Furnace so I can take a look!"

"A pure Yang treasure of the Dao-holding realm! I've never even touched such a wonderful thing before."

Jiang Sheng was taken aback, then sighed and said, "Uncle-Master, do you think someone like me with only a fifth-level cultivation could take such a treasure with me?"

“A pure Yang treasure, even a broken one, with its spiritual essence extinguished, is not something I can take away.”

Yu Ming Zhenjun was taken aback and couldn't help but feel disappointed: "What a pity. If only that treasure had fallen into your hands." Jiang Sheng waved his hands repeatedly: "Uncle-Master, I am not worthy of such a treasure. Let's finish packing and hurry back. Maybe when we return to Penglai, you will be able to see that furnace next to the Ancestral Master."

Yu Ming Zhenjun said, "Of course I know I can see it by the side of the Patriarch, but could I still touch it then? Alas, why couldn't you bring it back?"

Yu Ming Zhenjun looked at him with a face full of disappointment. Jiang Sheng was speechless. At this moment, Jiang Sheng suddenly missed Lin Fan. If that guy were here, Yu Ming Zhenjun would probably be watching Lin Fan all the time to make sure he didn't steal his things. How could he be as idle as he is now?

“Uncle Yuming, Lingyuan, all the creatures from the Southern Illumination Realm that could be taken have been taken. Let’s go too.”

Lingyu pushed open the door and came in. She had been keeping an eye on the migration of the creatures from the Southern Realm. Now that everyone had been loaded onto the ship, she had returned.

Jiang Sheng looked at the collapsing Nanzhao Realm and nodded: "Senior Uncle, Senior Sister, you go first, I'll take another look."

True Lord Yuming knew what path Jiang Sheng cultivated, and did not refuse: "The destruction of a world is indeed rare to see. You cultivate the method of calamity destruction and control the benefits of the three calamities. Observing the decline and death of a world will also help you to comprehend the laws."

"In that case, Lingyu and I will not disturb you any longer. We will head back now."

"Would it be alright to settle the creatures of the Southern Illumination Realm in the Mountain and Sea Continent?"

Jiang Sheng nodded: "It would be excellent to settle them in Shanhaizhou. In that case, I will trouble you, Uncle-Master."

Yu Ming Zhenjun waved his hand: "Go, go, we're leaving now."

Jiang Sheng left the Dharma Boat and headed straight for the soon-to-be-destroyed Southern Illumination Realm, while True Lord Yu Ming and Ling Yu took the Dharma Boat back to the Three Realms.

As the five magic boats departed, the chaotic void returned to silence. Jiang Sheng stood before the Southern Illumination Realm, gazing at the world's origin and the spiritual energy of the five elements gushing forth from it.

As Yu Zhen Taiyi Tian pierced through the Nanzhao Realm, an unhealable hole appeared in the membrane of the Nanzhao Realm. At this moment, the matter and spiritual energy of the Nanzhao Realm continued to gush outward through that hole. Star embers, the origin of the world, spiritual energy, and mountains, rocks, rivers and lakes all poured outward.

Moreover, it wasn't just above the Southern Illumination Realm; at the bottom of the Southern Illumination Realm, as the Abyss was also pierced, the desires of all living beings and the filth of heaven and earth accumulated within the Abyss surged outward like silt.

For a moment, a peculiar scene appeared in the Southern Realm: pure spiritual energy overflowed from above, while turbid matter surged from below. Pure and turbid, spiritual and impure, one above and one below, were like yin and yang.

"The root of all things lies in the balance of Yin and Yang. Only when Yin and Yang are in balance can the Five Elements be born and the creation of all living beings occur."

"The destruction of a realm often stems from an imbalance of Yin and Yang. Currently, the pure and impure energies of the Nanzhao Realm are leaking out, which has temporarily maintained a balance, preventing the Nanzhao Realm from being destroyed so quickly."

"But once the pure and turbid energies of the Southern Illumination Realm, and the yin and yang elements, have all fed back to the chaos, the Southern Illumination Realm will collapse and perish in an instant after losing yin and yang."

"At that time, the area where the Southern Illumination Realm collapsed might form a fragment of spacetime, or it might form a void."

Jiang Sheng pondered, continuing to observe the changes in the Southern Illumination Realm. Whether it was the ever-spreading pure spiritual energy or the turbid matter, it surged outward from the Southern Illumination Realm without a sound. One could only see the beautiful spiritual energy and primordial energy spreading out in the dark chaotic void, illuminating a piece of nothingness; while below, turbid and obscure matter surged like a chaotic undercurrent.

As a large amount of spiritual energy and the origin of the world overflowed, the mountains and rivers within the Southern Illumination Realm suddenly began to collapse and disintegrate. The towering mountains could not bear the weight and collapsed and shattered. The water of the rivers flowed into the abyss, the riverbed dried up, and the lakes became empty. Within the Southern Illumination Realm, there were strong winds, raging fires, and thunderous roars, but there was no water and no spirit. The howling wind, fire, and thunder were like the Southern Illumination Realm's unwilling lament, but it was powerless to reverse the situation.

Jiang Sheng watched the world crumble, seeing the final calamity power within the Nanzhao Realm evolve into wind, thunder, and raging fire, a scene of life and destruction. Jiang Sheng sensed the aura of impending doom swirling in all directions within the Nanzhao Realm, the laws beginning to collapse, the spiritual energy dissipating without a trace, and the five elements that sustained the foundation of the realm could no longer hold on at this moment, collapsing and shattering.

In an instant, Jiang Sheng seemed to see the extinguishing of the Five Elements spiritual energy, and the great power of the Five Elements Great Dao withdrawing from the Nanzhao Realm. Then, Yin and Yang reversed, the world collapsed, and with the hole pierced by Yuzhen Taiyi Heaven as the center, all the remaining material energy in the Nanzhao Realm was constantly gathering towards the hole and then collapsing. The Nanzhao Realm finally ushered in its final collapse.

At this moment, the power of the final calamity and the final destiny swelled to an unparalleled level. The will of heaven and earth of the Southern Realm perished, and the fortune of the entire realm turned gray. Under the repulsion of the final calamity and the final destiny, all kinds of laws and great principles, such as yin and yang, the five elements, the four symbols, time, and cause and effect, were withdrawing, leaving only the final calamity and the final destiny.

"At the end of a realm, one thing rises and another falls. When the power of the final calamity and the end of fortune arrives at its peak, it can naturally dispel all kinds of power of the Great Dao."

"This applies to a small world, a medium world, a large world, and even the chaotic universe."

"No wonder that when the Great Calamity of the Yuanhui arrives, all pure Yang beings and holy land forces in the myriad realms will be destroyed."

"The power of the final calamity and the end of the cycle rejects all laws and paths during the final calamity of the Yuanhui, and naturally no one can resist this great power of chaos and upheaval."

"However, destruction is also rebirth. At the end of the Yuanhui era, the old Chunyang and Holy Land will certainly be destroyed, but new Chunyang and Holy Land will also be born."

"Destruction and rebirth, calamity and creation, are not unrelated things, but two sides of the same coin, just like yin and yang."

"The annihilation of Yin and Yang, the transformation of the Three Elements and the Five Elements, with Yin and Yang as the foremost, the annihilation of Yin and Yang as the guiding principle, the Three Calamities and Five Disasters as the methods and techniques, and only then can the fundamental principles of the Great Dao be clearly understood."

"This is the true Dharma, this is my own path!"

As Jiang Sheng watched the Southern Illumination Realm collapse and crumble, he sensed the power of the final calamity and the intent of destruction growing within it. The Yin-Yang Calamity Extinction Dharma Power within his body circulated continuously throughout his body. Three flowers bloomed like lotuses atop Jiang Sheng's head, and the Five Qi converged in his chest. His own fortune and cultivation intertwined, and the azure-purple Qi swirled around him, transforming into a canopy above his head to resist the overflowing chaotic material spiritual energy and the filth and darkness.

After witnessing the destruction of a small world, Jiang Sheng felt as if he had reached a new level in the "Yin Yang Calamity Extinction Three Transformations Five Elements Wonderful Method". He had a premonition that the day when he would completely transform his Three Calamity Extinction power into Yin Yang Calamity Extinction power was not far off.

Just as Jiang Sheng was about to leave after witnessing the destruction of the Southern Illumination Realm, a faint light bloomed, causing Jiang Sheng to stop in his tracks.

Turning his head, he saw a lotus bud, seemingly blue and white, slowly emerging from the dim light at the site of the collapsed and destroyed Southern Illumination Realm. The aura emanating from within it caused Jiang Sheng to fall silent.

Standing before the lotus bud, sensing the aura intertwined with his own karma, Jiang Sheng sighed softly: "Even if it's utterly destroyed, we must protect its last bit of spiritual energy?"

"Very well, I accept this fate."

With that, Jiang Sheng reached out and plucked the lotus bud, tucking it into his sleeve before turning and disappearing into the void. (End of Chapter)
