Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

"Big brother, third sister, come quick!"

In the chaotic void, the most common people are disciples of sects traveling to various realms and rogue cultivators of the upper three realms. After all, the Nascent Soul Realm can traverse the void to a basic extent. For those in the upper three realms, as long as they are careful and follow the path opened up by their predecessors, they will not encounter many fatal dangers.

These three were also well-known independent cultivators in the Zhouhe Realm. The eldest was known as Daoist Longzhou, the second as Daoist Duohe, and the youngest as Fairy Mingchu. All three were at the Refinement stage and were quite famous in the myriad realms.

The three of them were crossing the void intending to visit friends in the Three Realms, but unexpectedly they discovered an unclaimed object in this chaos.

At this moment, with the second brother Duohe Sanren's joyful low exclamation, two undisguised auras of Void Refinement quickly swept over, namely the eldest brother Longzhou Daoren and the third brother Mingchu Fairy.

Fairy Mingchu asked curiously, "Second Brother, what did you discover?"

"Big brother, third sister, look what this is!"

Duohe Sanren pointed quite proudly at the unclaimed item he had discovered.

Upon hearing this, Fairy Mingchu looked up and was immediately amazed: "What a beautiful magic boat! Such a magic boat must be very valuable!"

When Daoist Longzhou looked at it, he was immediately startled: this magic boat, which seemed to be no more than a hundred miles long, was entirely silver-white and engraved with various magical restrictions and spiritual marks. It was clearly not something that a small sect could forge. However, there were no sect markings on this magic boat, making it difficult to determine its origin. This put Daoist Longzhou in a difficult position.

Everyone wants something good that's unclaimed, but if it's not unclaimed, it might bring disaster. After all, those who are not worthy of their position will surely suffer misfortune. The three siblings have some reputation in the Zhouhe Realm, but outside of the Zhouhe Realm, what are they compared to the myriad worlds?
Upon realizing this, Daoist Longzhou said, "Second brother, third sister, this magic boat is obviously of extraordinary origin. The materials used to forge this magic boat should be mainly Void Gold and Void Stone. Just the materials used to forge this magic boat alone must have consumed a lot of immortal essence, not to mention the magic restrictions and spiritual marks engraved on this magic boat."

As he spoke, Daoist Longzhou pointed to the intricate spiritual marks on the magic boat and said, “Look, these spiritual marks are seamlessly connected, layer upon layer, yet there is not a single mark. All the spiritual marks are perfectly integrated, and the spiritual energy flows in unison. Our Zhouhe Realm does not have such superb forging skills; not to mention the magical restrictions hidden beneath these spiritual marks. Each of these magical restrictions is beyond our control.”

“This Dharma boat may not seem big, but its value is probably more than the three of us could buy. Such a thing is not unclaimed; getting involved with it could bring disaster.”

Upon hearing this, Fairy Mingchu also hesitated: "Second brother, eldest brother is right. This magic boat is too stunning at first glance. Such a beautiful magic boat must be priceless. Even if its owner has perished, if we take it away, it may cause unnecessary trouble in the future."

Seeing that his elder brother and third sister both intended to back down, Duohe Sanren became somewhat displeased: "Elder brother! Third sister! We are considered important figures in Zhouhe Realm, but who will recognize us outside of Zhouhe Realm?"

"Over the years, haven't we suffered enough scorn from outsiders? This time, when we went to visit friends in the Three Realms, we still had to travel there in a miserable way. We couldn't even afford a decent Dharma boat, so how can we talk about dignity?"

"If we can sail this magic boat away, the three realms above us in the Three Realms will not dare to look down on us. We can also sell this magic boat to exchange for cultivation resources. At that time, we will have both face and substance."

Then Duohe Sanren looked at Mingchu Fairy: "Third sister, haven't you wanted to refine a batch of pills at the Void Refining level for a long time? Eldest brother, you know your alchemy skills, but you just haven't had enough immortal herbs and precious medicines."

"And you, elder brother, haven't you long wanted to nurture your natal treasure and stabilize it at the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm?"

"If we take this magic boat away and sell it, the money we get will be enough for Third Sister to start ten furnaces, right? And enough for you, Big Brother, to buy immortal iron and meteorite gold to nurture your magic treasures, right?"

"A tremendous opportunity is right in front of us. If we miss this chance, we'll regret it for centuries!"

Duohe Sanren patiently persuaded her, and Mingchu Fairy was moved: she was very good at alchemy, but as a rogue cultivator, she lacked enough immortal herbs and precious medicines, and rarely refined precious pills at the Void Refinement level. If she really had enough immortal herbs and precious medicines, she was confident that she could improve her alchemy skills to the next level, and then she would have something to offer in trade.

However, while Fairy Mingchu was tempted, Daoist Longzhou remained unmoved: "Second brother! Some things are not for us to touch. Look at this magic boat, it's unclaimed, so how could it not be someone fishing for it?"

"And how many defensive measures would such a priceless magic ship have?"

Upon hearing this, Duohe Sanren's eagerness as he looked at the magnificent, silver-white Dharma boat dimmed slightly: Indeed, such a Dharma boat must have a multitude of defensive and warning mechanisms.

What a pity! Such good things were right in front of me, but I didn't dare to take them with me.
"Sigh, I wonder what kind of magic boat this is. We may only have this one chance in our lives."

Duohe Sanren sighed, but he no longer had much of an impulse left.

He was blinded by the wealth just now, and in his heat of the moment, he thought of taking the magic boat and running away. But his elder brother poured cold water on him, and he sobered up a lot. Such good things were indeed not something he could get his hands on.

However, just as Duohe Sanren finished his reflection, he heard a strange, clear voice say: "This is the Void Shuttle Ship, specially forged to break through the void passage and quickly traverse the chaotic space-time. Its entire body is made of Void Flowing Gold, supplemented by Moon Silver and Sun Gold, Geng Gold and Vermilion Copper. It contains 129,600 spiritual traces, which are the number of the One Yuan, and is surrounded by 365 magical restrictions, making it a complete celestial beauty."

The appearance of this voice immediately made Duohe Sanren's hair stand on end. He turned around abruptly and saw a Taoist priest in a bamboo hat and green robe standing not far behind him. The Taoist priest was clearly standing there, but he had not noticed him at all. If the Taoist priest had not spoken, he would not have known that there was someone behind him.

Not to mention Duohe Sanren, even Longzhou Daoist and Mingchu Fairy were shocked. The three of them watched the Daoist warily, trying to use their divine sense to lock onto his presence, but found that their divine sense could not find the Daoist at all, let alone lock onto his aura.

Aside from their physical eyes being able to see the Taoist appear before them, their divine senses perceived nothingness before them. Their spiritual energy missed its mark, and even their true spiritual touch could not reach the Taoist's figure. Their magical power passed through the void without even causing a ripple.

This feeling of being able to see it but not perceive it, let alone touch it, sent chills down the spines of the three: What is this being?!

The Taoist priest who appeared before the three was none other than Jiang Sheng.

Jiang Sheng, who had concealed his true appearance and traveled in a bamboo hat and green robe, arrived at the location of the magic boat. There he saw three rogue cultivators in the Void Refinement Realm surrounding his Penglai magic boat, examining it closely, and even trying to take it away.

If these three rogue cultivators truly intended to take the Dharma Boat away, Jiang Sheng would certainly not let them off the hook. However, they only talked the talk but did nothing, so Jiang Sheng was too lazy to bother with them.

After all, actions speak louder than words; since they did not take any action, they are innocent.

"Senior, we were unaware that the Dharma Boat had an owner. We only stopped to admire its magnificence. Now that you have arrived, the three of us will depart immediately!"

Daoist Longzhou was extremely humble. After confirming that Jiang Sheng's cultivation and strength far surpassed that of the three siblings, Daoist Longzhou had no temper left.

Duohe Sanren and Mingchu Xianzi nodded in agreement, appearing quite reserved.

Jiang Sheng waved his hand: "It's nothing. This is not a place for you to stay. Leave quickly."

Upon hearing this, Daoist Longzhou breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Senior, you're busy, we'll be going now!" With that, Daoist Longzhou grabbed Duohe Sanren and Fairy Mingchu and turned to leave. They ran for hundreds of millions of miles until they were exhausted, at which point Daoist Longzhou stopped to catch his breath.

The Fairy of the Early Ming Dynasty patted her chest, still shaken: "That was terrifying! That person appeared without a sound. I could see their figure, but I couldn't sense their presence. What kind of cultivation is that?!"

Daoist Longzhou, panting heavily, said: "It is said that the Integration Realm connects with the Five Elements, combines the primordial energy of heaven and earth with the spiritual essence of chaos. When the Integration Realm is fully mastered, it is called the Five Qi Converging to the Origin, and the power of the Five Elements creates endlessly, making one a celestial being."

"That person's aura was perfectly smooth and flawless. He stood there seemingly neither existent nor nonexistent, as if his body were one with the chaotic void. He must be a True Monarch of the Fifth Tribulation!"

Five Tribulations True Lord!

Duohe Sanren was startled, then seemed to remember something: "That person's face... I seem to have seen it before."

Upon hearing this, Fairy Mingchu couldn't help but laugh: "Second Brother, don't flatter yourself."

“Just by standing there, the three of us dared not breathe. I think Big Brother is right, that person is a Fifth Tribulation True Monarch.”

"The Fifth Tribulation True Monarch, that's a truly great figure. Second Brother, when have you ever known such a divine being?"

Duohe Sanren frowned deeply: "I really remember seeing that face before, but I just can't remember it."

Fairy Mingchu smiled and said, "Second Brother, don't overthink it, hurry up and go to the Three Realms."

In fact, Daoist Longzhou also felt that he seemed to have seen that face before, but he couldn't quite remember it and didn't want to bring it up, so he simply didn't discuss the matter.

The three of them set off again for the Three Realms, treating their previous experience as a dream.

However, just as the three were chatting and laughing on their way to the Three Realms, a faint red mist, ethereal and dreamlike, rose from the chaotic void. The three unknowingly entered the red mist and disappeared without a trace as the mist dissipated.

At the same time, Jiang Sheng stood in front of the Dharma Boat and raised his token: "Where is the ship's spirit?"

In the next instant, the entire magic ship shone with spiritual light, and strands of spiritual marks intertwined to form a magic array. A graceful ship spirit rose from the crisscrossing spiritual light and gave Jiang Sheng a deep bow: "Ship spirit greets True Lord Yu Chen Ling Yuan."

Jiang Sheng asked, "Were Ye Qian's actions in this chaotic void recorded? Mark the place where Ye Qian last disappeared."

The ship spirit immediately released all the traces of Ye Qian that it had collected. Jiang Sheng looked at the last place where Ye Qian disappeared and nodded slightly: "Indeed, it is here. You should hide yourself and wait for my return."

The ship spirit nodded, and the entire magic ship turned transparent and disappeared into nothingness, while Jiang Sheng transformed into pure energy and entered the space-time rift.

As Jiang Sheng entered the spacetime rift, the bizarre and distorted spacetime stretched and contracted at times, and the passage of time was sometimes fast and sometimes slow. Even Jiang Sheng had a feeling of time being disordered, but he knew in his heart that this was just his own illusion.

Unlike Ye Qian, who was confused and delayed by the time distortion, Jiang Sheng did not lose his way and went straight through the passage into the world within the time-space rift.

Upon entering, a thin red mist rolled in, but Jiang Sheng's body was covered with flowing water like autumn waves. The shimmering water blocked the bewitching and corrupting red mist.

The true teachings of the Eastern Heavenly Daoist school include the essential supernatural power: Autumn waters untouched by dust!

With his ethereal beauty, Jiang Sheng ignored the swirling fog of the mortal world and ventured deep into it. As he entered the red fog, the eerie datura flowers within blossomed even more vividly. Clusters of datura flowers huddled together, forming waves of blossoms that swayed in the wind. Petals rose with the breeze, drifting gently in the red fog, like a rain of flowers or a veil, blurring the lines between reality and illusion. Divine senses seemed to lose their effectiveness here.

Surrounded by a red mist, petals eroded Jiang Sheng's mind, but his spirit remained clear and his Dao heart pure. His untainted spirit protected his body and soul, while the Yin-Yang Tribulation Extinction Sword Qi flickered in and out, slaying any probing attempts that silently approached. Jiang Sheng was like the sharpest sword, ignoring the illusions of the mortal world and all temptations, fearlessly shattering all laws and forging ahead.

In less than three breaths, Jiang Sheng had already traversed fifty million miles. What appeared before Jiang Sheng was an increasingly dense flurry of petals, a mist as deep as the sea, and the sound of rushing water growing louder as it approached. A river of the Yellow Springs had appeared beneath Jiang Sheng's feet at some unknown time.

In an instant, the River of the Underworld became incredibly murky, and the dead reached out their hands, trying to drag Jiang Sheng into the River Styx.

Jiang Sheng remained calm as he made hand seals. Thunder essence gathered, and with a thunderous roar, the Five Elements Divine Thunder was instantly unleashed by Jiang Sheng. In an instant, the dazzling five-colored divine thunder plunged into the Yellow Springs. As the Five Elements Thunder surged, the dead cried out and turned to ashes. The entire tributary of the Yellow Springs began to collapse and dry up. In just a moment, there was no trace of the Yellow Springs beneath Jiang Sheng's feet.

Jiang Sheng didn't care much about such clumsy methods. He was fearless. Although it was within a spacetime rift and on someone else's territory, Jiang Sheng was confident that he had nothing to fear in a world where only Mahayana-level power could be used.
After the Five Elements Divine Thunder shattered the Yellow Springs, Jiang Sheng looked at the surging sea of ​​flowers and mist before him, closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, a blue lotus bloomed in Jiang Sheng's pupils, and azure-gold light surged out, illuminating the entire world.

Taoist Heavenly Eye - Golden Eye for Breaking Illusions!

With his eyes azure-gold, and blue lotuses blooming within them, Jiang Sheng surveyed the entire world. Under the search of his Golden Eyes of Truth, even though the sea of ​​flowers interfered with his soul's perception and the mist affected his true spirit's judgment, Jiang Sheng still found Ye Qian's trail.

At this moment, Ye Qian was kneeling in a courtyard like a lackey, smiling as he served an elegant and charming woman.

A female cultivator from an unknown era?

As Jiang Sheng was pondering, the woman seemed to sense his insight and smiled, saying, "A guest is a guest, and since you've come, why not greet you?"

As she spoke, the woman fanned herself with a palm-leaf fan, creating a swirling breeze that opened a passage leading directly to Jiang Sheng.

With a single wave of her fan, this female cultivator pierced through billions of miles of void; such skill was far beyond that of an ordinary Mahayana cultivator!
Faced with the power displayed by the female cultivator, Jiang Sheng remained calm. With one step, he covered fifty million miles, and with another step, he covered another fifty million miles. Jiang Sheng took three steps forward, traversing one hundred and fifty million miles, and appeared outside the courtyard, in front of the female cultivator.

You can pierce through billions of miles of void with a single fan, and I can shrink the earth to an inch and traverse the universe in three breaths.

As if sensing that Jiang Sheng was not someone to be trifled with, the female cultivator rose leisurely upon his arrival. With a smile on her face and her face concealed by a palm-leaf fan, she walked step by step to Jiang Sheng with almost demonic steps, and then bowed:
"Greetings, Taoist priest."

"I am the master of this Nine Nether Flower Sea, my name is You Jiang." (End of Chapter)
