Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

In the Three Realms, there are twelve heavenly realms.

The ninth layer is called the Nine-Layered Heaven Palace, which is the Central Heavenly Palace. It is located above the central universe and covers the three realms, five continents and four seas.

There are three other heavenly realms, namely the Penglai Xuming Heavenly Realm in the East, the Qinghua Qinghong Heavenly Realm in the East, and the Dajue Lingyin Heavenly Realm in the West.

It is the dojo of Xu Ming Qing Yan Tian Zun, Qing Hong Ming Yang Tian Zun and Namo Jin Jue Buddha.

Returning to the familiar Penglai Xu Ming Realm, Jiang Sheng went straight to the Tianzun Taoist Temple.

Compared to before, Xu Ming Palace has changed a lot in the past few hundred years. Now the interior of the palace is an independent world of mountains and rivers.

There are many green mountains, shady willows, and clear water connected to the sky. The breeze blows gently, and the water ripples. Every ripple emits a dazzling light, just like the three-star holy water, which contains infinite power and the brilliance of the great way.

In the sparkling waves, you can vaguely see dragons playing, reflecting the stars in the eastern sky.

"Come up."

The words of Patriarch Qingyan came from in front of Jiang Sheng. As the water rippled and the clouds dispersed, a small hill appeared in front of Jiang Sheng.

An old man in a bamboo crown and linen clothes was sitting cross-legged on a small hill, seemingly looking at the chess board.

According to what the master said, Jiang Sheng walked to the hill. Looking at the small hill which was only a hundred feet high, Jiang Sheng walked in confidently. As ripples in space spread out, Jiang Sheng appeared under the hill and turned into a small dot.

It looked like a small hill about a hundred feet high, but when Jiang Sheng got closer he discovered that this small hill actually hid infinite mysteries.

The hill is only a hundred feet high, but once you enter it you feel as if you are facing towering mountains and steep canyons. There are many restrictions, including prohibitions on flying and using magic. You are not allowed to fly in the clouds or shrink the ground. However, there are still the laws of heaven and earth to bless you. Entering the mountain is like carrying the heaven and earth on your back, and one step brings you to a new world.

At this time, there was clear air floating up from Jiang Sheng's body, seemingly ethereal like a fairy, but in fact he was carrying the laws of heaven and earth, towering mountains and steep cliffs. The billions of tons of heavy burden pressed on Jiang Sheng's body, as well as on his soul and Tao fruit.

Feeling the heavy burden on his shoulders, Jiang Sheng looked up at the mountain path. The road was rugged and winding leading straight to the sky. There were brilliant Taoist patterns on both sides, inscribed with the key points of the avenue. There were also intertwined laws and engraved with the mysteries of the mysterious law.

The colorful light flickered continuously, and it was difficult for anyone other than an immortal in the upper three realms to see the wonder of the immortal world.

If you don't enter this mountain, you will always be in the clouds and fog. Only when you enter the mountain will you know the blooming and withering of flowers.

Patriarch Qingyan was on the top of the mountain at this time. There was an old pine tree winding like a dragon, and its crown spread out like a canopy. The patriarch was sitting cross-legged under the old pine tree, holding a whisk, and he didn't care about Jiang Sheng's predicament at all.

Jiang Sheng knew that this was a test, so he didn't say much and walked up the mountain step by step along the path.

The higher he went, the greater the pressure from heaven and earth Jiang Sheng faced, as if heaven and earth were combining their strength to crush Jiang Sheng.

The terrain and veins of the earth are interconnected and undulating, connecting to the energy veins of the sky, with the clear and turbid mixed together, just like a yin and yang millstone, using the heaven and earth as the millstone, refining Jiang Sheng's body, soul, and true spiritual fruit.

Step by step, the higher Jiang Sheng went, the more he felt that the terrain here was extraordinary. Even immortals and gods would not dare to underestimate such a powerful and profound terrain.

However, in this mountain, every step is also a tempering. Although the great trend of the world is suppressing Jiang Sheng, it is also tempering Jiang Sheng's physical body, magic power, and spiritual nature.

This is just like being in a furnace. Although you are being used to make elixirs, the process will eventually allow you to remove the dross and retain the essence, and eliminate impurities and toxins.

However, Jiang Sheng's body and soul, which have gone through the three mysteries and three refinements of the disaster of refining the void, really have no impurities and toxins to clear. The three disasters have reshaped Jiang Sheng's body and soul a lot.

Even the Taoist words "soul of a Taoist master" and "skin and bones of a fairy" are not enough to describe Jiang Sheng today.

After moving forward about three thousand feet, when the millstone was about to crush Jiang Sheng, Jiang Sheng suddenly felt his body lighten, and the suppression of heaven and earth disappeared in an instant. In an instant, Jiang Sheng's figure appeared on the top of the mountain and appeared in front of Master Qingyan.

"Ancestor."

Jiang Sheng bowed solemnly.

Patriarch Qingyan nodded slightly: "Do you know what you just experienced?"

Jiang Sheng shook his head: "Disciple, I don't know."

Patriarch Qingyan said: "That is a kind of heaven and earth restriction in the Tianyuan Realm. The Tianyuan Holy Sect has studied and realized many methods. It can borrow the veins of heaven and earth and practice the laws of heaven and earth."

"The sky is clear and the earth is turbid. The earth veins and qi veins are the constant of yin and yang. Taking advantage of the earth veins, one can live endlessly and transform the power of heaven into one's body. This kind of magic is really extraordinary. Even I find it quite mysterious when I see it."

"Those Pure Yangs in the Tianyuan Holy Sect are truly worthy of being the masters of the world."

Tianyuan Realm?
Hearing Patriarch Qingyan mention the Tianyuan Realm, Jiang Sheng seemed to have grasped something. The reason why he was urgently summoned back from the Shanhai Realm by the sect seemed to be related to the Tianyuan Realm.

Master Qingyan smiled and nodded, then motioned Jiang Sheng to come forward and look at the chess game.

Jiang Sheng took a step forward and discovered that the chessboard was actually a vast world, with mountains, rivers, lakes, vast oceans, and islands.
"This is the Tianyuan Realm."

"The Tianyuan Realm is also a realm of our Xuanmen. Ever since the Tianhe Dao Sect discovered that the Tianyuan Realm had begun to compete with it, over the past 20,000 years, the Tianyuan Realm is now occupied by the Tianyuan Holy Sect and the Tianhe Dao Sect, each occupying half, until not long ago, when Yang Ji fell."

Yang Ji falls!

Jiang Sheng was startled, and his expression, which had always been calm, began to fluctuate slightly.

It’s no wonder that Jiang Sheng was surprised. In the past, in the world of mountains and rivers, the name Yangji only referred to one person, and that was Taoist Taiyi Yuzhen Xuanying Xiaolei Yangji of the Tianhe Taoist Sect!

That is the Pure Yang Taoist who is in the state of holding the Tao!

He has the pure yang treasure, the Xinghe Linglong Umbrella, and his Xiaolei Taoism and Yin-Yang techniques are mysterious and infinite, and he is famous for his power.

That Taoist master actually fell!
Thinking about the aftermath of the Great Dao that he had sensed in the depths of chaos before, Jiang Sheng already understood: Yes, if that kind of existence had not fallen, how could there be the aftermath of the Great Dao that affected the chaotic universe.

It seems that the changes in the Tianyuan Realm have affected the sect!
Patriarch Qingyan continued, "After Yang Ji's fall, both Kaiyuan and Xuanjian were trapped in the chaos and disappeared. But correspondingly, the people from the Tianyuan Holy Sect also left the Tianyuan Realm and may still be entangled with Kaiyuan and Xuanjian somewhere."

"There is no Pure Yang in the Tianyuan Realm right now. Do you understand?"

Seeing Jiang Sheng nod, Patriarch Qingyan said, "I have guessed which old immortals are behind the Tianyuan Realm's affairs, but in the final analysis, this matter is a family affair of Tianhe Dao Sect, and Tianhe Dao Sect is in the wrong."

“Speaking of which, the Tianhe Dao Sect originally had the hope of taking over the Tianyuan Realm, but as the three realms merged, the Xuanmen Daoists in our Shanhe Realm became stronger and stronger, and some people couldn’t help themselves.”

"The current situation of Tianhe Dao Sect is five points due to itself, four points due to others, and the remaining one point is that we, Penglai and Qinghua, are ultimately responsible for some of the consequences."

"After all, Shanhe Xuanmen is one family. Once Tianhe Dao Sect's situation in Tianyuan Realm collapsed, I asked Yuming to go to Tianyuan Realm first. Mingyang also sent many people from the upper three realms there."

"Now in Penglai, the Dao and Ling generations have not made any moves."

Jiang Sheng understood what Patriarch Qingyan meant, and immediately said, "Patriarch, I am willing to go to Tianyuan Realm to compete."

Patriarch Qingyan said, "Don't worry. You are currently suffering from a serious deficiency of immortality. Although you have reached the state of Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, you still need to recuperate. Please sit here for a while and talk to me about the affairs of the mountains and seas."

Seeing that Master Qingyan wanted to hear about his own experiences, Jiang Sheng then slowly told him about the customs and habits of the Shanhai Realm, and the series of things he had encountered.

Patriarch Qingyan nodded slightly: "You have gained a lot in the Mountain and Sea Realm this time. Your body and soul should be comparable to the physical realm." After saying that, Patriarch Qingyan glanced at Jiang Sheng again, then frowned: "The three flowers are gathered at the top of the head, but why is the immortal source so seriously depleted?"

Jiang Sheng naturally had nothing to hide in front of his own master and told him the whole story.

After hearing this, Patriarch Qingyan thought for a moment and chuckled, "You dare to take a risk. You are in the early stage of refining emptiness and have not accumulated the immortal essence for thousands of years. You are so reckless. Aren't you afraid of death?"

Jiang Sheng said: "Master, of course I am afraid, but I am somewhat confident."

"I am originally practicing the way of the Three Calamities and the Three Calamities I have experienced must be terrifying. I have anticipated this."

"If you don't personally experience the benefits and harms of the Three Disasters, how can you understand the principles of the Three Disasters, and how can you comprehend the meaning of the Last Disaster."

"Over the years, although I have practiced the Three Disasters Method and have gained some skills, everything still comes from the Way of the Last Tribulation. It is still lacking some meaning. Now that I have completed these, my Three Disasters and the Way of the Last Tribulation have finally gained some substance."

Master Qingyan smiled and said, "You, you, you always have your reasons."

"But have you ever thought about this? You are in the depths of the Primal Chaos, and you are trapped in the Primal Chaos Void Cave. If something goes wrong, can I, the Grandmaster, rescue you in just a split second?"

"It's better to be careful in future actions."

Jiang Sheng said sincerely: "Disciple will remember this."

Under the old pine trees on the top of the mountain, an old Taoist and a young Taoist were chatting casually, and they chatted for several days.

Unconsciously, Jiang Sheng had made up for a lot of his losses on this mountain, and his realm had also improved from the early stage of refining emptiness to the middle stage of refining emptiness, which was the level of having survived one of the three disasters.

But if you really judge Jiang Sheng's strength based on this level of cultivation, you would be totally wrong.

As Jiang Sheng came back to his senses and sensed the immortal energy restored in his body, he bowed to Master Qingyan again and said, "Thank you, Master."

Patriarch Qingyan smiled at Jiang Sheng like an ordinary old man: "I haven't given you too much of your deficit, which is not a bad thing for you."

"You were able to pass the Three Disasters Certificate and the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head. It was half a coincidence and half luck. If you can't take each step steadily, your breakthrough and fusion will be unstable."

"But after all, you have the Taiyi Cave True Dao Fruit, and you have transcended three disasters three times. With your current realm and cultivation, you may seem to be in the middle stage of the Refining Void Realm, but once you go to the Tianyuan Realm, there will be no rivals in the Refining Void Realm. Even if you meet someone in the early stage of the Fusion Realm, you may be able to fight him. The saying that there is one level and one heaven in the upper three realms is useless to you."

Jiang Sheng smiled. He had some knowledge of his own strength, but he still needed to fight with real swords and guns to recognize his own abilities.

Master Qingyan smiled and said, "Everyone has his own way, and you have your own opportunity. I won't say much."

"Now that you have mastered the Three Calamities and the End of the World, have you ever thought about the future?"

Jiang Sheng knew that this was a reminder from the Grandmaster, and immediately said, "Please give me some advice, Grandmaster."

Patriarch Qingyan chuckled, and with the whisk in his hand, he drew a circle in front of Jiang Sheng.

The circle formed by the spiritual light was spinning, changing from mottled white to yin and yang colors.

Patriarch Qingyan said calmly: "Chaos is one, but it plays out the two principles of yin and yang."

"The two yin and yang become the three talents, the three talents play the sun, moon and stars, play the essence, energy and spirit, play the life and spirit, which can be called the three origins."

"The three disasters of Lianxu, wind, thunder and fire, can also be regarded as the way of the three talents."

"Tao gave birth to one, one gave birth to two, two gave birth to three, and three gave birth to all things. Whether it is the four images or the five elements, they are all things that are three-performed and three-transformed."

"There are five innate virtues, namely, holy virtue, meritorious virtue, moral virtue, blessing and hidden virtue. There are also five innate fortunes, namely, luck, killing fortune, disaster fortune, final fortune and interception fortune."

"What you have cultivated, the Three Calamities and the Last Disaster, can bring you closer to the Calamity, the Last Disaster, and the Intercepted Disaster."

"The way of calamity, doom, and the end of fate, leads to natural disasters, brings about the end of the world, and cuts off the cause and effect of heaven and earth."

"Whether it's the Three Talents or the Five Elements, they all rotate in unison, mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining, helping and supporting each other."

"You know all of this without me having to explain it to you. You can understand it yourself. Given my current situation, if I tell you too much, it would actually harm you."

After Jiang Sheng heard this, he thought for a moment and then said, "Disciple understands."

Seeing that Jiang Sheng's aura and cultivation were now stable, Patriarch Qingyan also waved his hand and said, "Go to Tianyuan Realm. It won't be a bad thing for you to go and see the Xuanmen Tianjiao in other great realms."

"Remember, we are all from the same family, Shanhe Daoist family."

Taoism of mountains and rivers, from the same branch.

Jiang Sheng said solemnly: "Master, rest assured, I understand."

Patriarch Qingyan nodded and said, "Well, this time you go to the Tianyuan Realm, it will be at most three thousand years, and you must come back, don't be trapped in it for too long."

Jiang Sheng bowed again and then left.

As Jiang Sheng left, the figure of Master Dejing appeared under the old pine tree.

"This kid is really a good seedling."

"Brother, are you planning to let him compete for that position?"

Patriarch Qingyan nodded slowly: "The three realms merged, and the positions and karmas created by heaven and earth were divided into three batches in the first three thousand years, three batches in the middle three thousand years, and three batches in the last three thousand years. Among these three batches of heaven and earth positions and karmas, there are only a few that are worth seeing."

"This kid is predestined. When he was in the Mountain and River Realm, he had such an opportunity and cause and effect."

"When he was in the Mountain and Sea Realm, my projection helped him again."

"With these two opportunities, it is only natural to fight for that position."

"Looking at Penglai, there are not many people who can be worthy of that position. It would be a pity if we don't fight for such a good candidate."

Patriarch Dejing smiled and said, "Indeed, if you don't take what God has given you, you will suffer the consequences. However, given that kid's lazy nature, if we weren't behind him, he would probably hide in his temple for thousands of years without coming out, wasting this good talent."

"When he returns from the Tianyuan Realm, the first batch of heavenly and earthly positions in the Three Realms should be ready. After some preparation, we can let him go and compete."

"That position, not to mention us in Penglai, Qinghua, Heaven, and the West, who doesn't want it? I'm afraid that the Emperor of Heaven will interfere."

Patriarch Qingyan said calmly: "Let's fight first. If that person really interferes, it won't be too late to talk later."

"At best, he can only sever part of his position and bring him down to a lower realm. If he can sever it, can't we make up for it?"

"Then the Three Realms Judicial Lord's position must remain in the East." (End of this chapter)
