Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

The Tianyuan world, seven continents and five seas.

On the Lingluo Sea, a rhinoceros, two meters long from head to tail and about ten meters high from hoof to shoulder, was walking on the waves.

The rhinoceros' entire body was covered with red flame-like patterns, and there seemed to be flames burning on its four hooves. Although it was clearly above the sea, the surrounding water was retreating to the sides, causing ripples.

On the rhinoceros' back, the Taoist in a green crown and black robe had his eyes slightly closed and his hands hidden in his sleeves, as if he was sitting on a lotus platform, unperturbed by any disturbance.

The rhinoceros monster looks only about two meters long, and is inconspicuous among the millions of monsters and goblins in the billions of miles of Lingluo Sea. However, the demonic aura unique to a great monster on the rhinoceros horn cannot be ignored.

There are indeed immortal gods and dragon kings of the upper three realms in the Lingluo Sea, each governing an area. But apart from those powerful people of the upper three realms, the demon king in the spirit transformation stage is also a powerful figure.

And this rhino horn belonged to a great demon in the state of transformation, the Fire-Proof Rhino King.

The Taoist on the back of the Fire-Resisting Rhinoceros King was naturally Jiang Sheng.

Now the Fire-Proofing Rhinoceros King's ten-foot-tall appearance is only for the purpose of allowing Jiang Sheng to sit more steadily on its back. If this demon king really reveals his true form without any scruples, then the thousand-foot-high mountain will be nothing but dirt under his feet.

While emitting the demonic aura of a demon king at the Divine Transformation Realm to intimidate the surrounding water creatures, the Fire-Repelling Rhino King asked cautiously, "Master, where are we going next?"

The lord of the Little Penglai Fairyland, Yuchen Lingyuan Zhenjun of the Penglai Taoist Sect has four great monsters under his command, namely the Mountain-Shaking Green Bull King, the Red-Faced Golden Lion King, the Four-Tusk Treasure Elephant King and the Golden-Winged Green Peng King.

Although the Fire-Repelling Rhinoceros King is the sworn brother of the Four-tusked Treasure Elephant King, he is not well-known under Jiang Sheng.

This time Jiang Sheng did not select one from the four great monsters, but chose the Fire-Proof Rhinoceros. The rhinoceros was planning to show off in front of Jiang Sheng so that he could get some opportunity and status.

Jiang Sheng did not open his eyes either, and said in a calm and casual tone: "Let's go to Qiyunzhou first."

When the Fire-Resisting Rhinoceros King heard that Jiang Sheng was going to Qiyun Island, he also took a step forward with all his might and stepped on the waves.

"Master, please take a rest. I will carry you there."

The Rhino King is not afraid of doing things, but is afraid of doing nothing.

Seeing the Fire-Resisting Rhino King working so hard, Jiang Sheng naturally knew what it was thinking. With a chuckle, Jiang Sheng reached out and knocked on the rhino's thick head: "Since the master brought you here, he will naturally give you the opportunity to make merit."

"I am not afraid to tell you that this time when I come to the Tianyuan Realm, fighting is inevitable."

"Inside and outside of the Tianyuan Realm, there are so many people staring at me, Master."

Jiang Sheng knew very well that the eight True Lords in the Fusion Realm from Qiyun Continent who had gone to look for True Lord Yuming were because someone behind the scenes wanted to test True Lord Yuming's methods, or to see whether the Penglai Taoist Sect lived up to its name.

Now that True Lord Yu Ming has returned to the Three Realms, he has to shoulder the affairs of the Tian Yuan Realm himself.

Jiang Sheng has never been afraid of fighting. As long as it is a fair competition, Jiang Sheng will not refuse it, but will appreciate it.

Jiang Sheng was annoyed by those evil spirits who schemed and plotted behind the scenes. He felt tired at the thought of spending time and energy to engage in intrigue with those guys hiding in the dark.

The Fire-Repelling Rhinoceros King was still thinking about what to do after arriving at Qiyunzhou, and even took the initiative to offer his own suggestions: "Master, the ancestors of the Eight Directions Sect in Qiyunzhou who were at the Fusion Realm have all passed away. Should we take advantage of this opportunity to occupy the land of that sect?"

Jiang Sheng shook his head slightly: "Forget about taking advantage of others. We came to the Tianyuan Realm. If we want to be powerful and famous, we must first do things uprightly."

"Schemes, tricks, and gimmicks may bring temporary benefits, but they are unlikely to last long, and even harder to convince the public."

"Tian Xingjian is in a state of grandeur."

"When we Taoists do things, we must be upright first. We must act with integrity and dignity, and do things with dignity. Under the general trend, people will naturally be convinced."

"Except for the lands of the eight sects, there are still large unowned areas in Qiyunzhou. We can occupy one of them."

Conspiracies and intrigues are not the right way to behave.

As a dignified Pure Yang Holy Land and an orthodox Xuanmen sect, if it continues to do things like those smaller sects, full of conspiracies and intrigues, it would lose its dignity.

The Chunyang Holy Land must have the majesty that the Chunyang Holy Land should have, and the Xuanmen Orthodox Sect must also have the bearing that the Xuanmen Orthodox Sect should have.

Jiang Sheng would never do such short-sighted behavior as simply taking shortcuts and competing for short-term gains.

Upon hearing this, the Fire-Resisting Rhino King agreed repeatedly: "Master is right, I was wrong."

Jiang Sheng nodded: "Let's get going."

Qiyun Island.

The original continent of the Tianyuan Realm is a whole piece. It is truly round in shape and square in square, with the sea on all sides. The original continent is seamlessly integrated and majestic.

Unfortunately, with the battle between Tianyuan Holy Sect and Tianhe Dao Sect, the original continent broke into seven pieces of different sizes.

Qiyunzhou is not the largest among the seven continents, but its geographical location is very important.

Qiyun Island is connected to Tonglu Island, Suxi Island and Cuixia Island, and is adjacent to Lingluo Sea and Yujing Sea. With Qiyun Island as the center, the three islands and two seas can be affected at any time and half of the Tianyuan Realm can be controlled.

Ever since the original continent of the Tianyuan Realm was divided into seven parts, the Tianhe Dao Sect, in addition to Cuixiazhou, which was its foundation from the beginning, first took over Qiyunzhou. This shows the importance of this continent.

After Qingxiao Yuming Zhenjun came to Tianyuan Realm, he also blocked half of the peepers for Tianhe Dao Sect in Qiyun Continent.

Now that Qingxiao Yuming Zhenjun has passed away, Jiang Sheng will naturally take over this task.

After running continuously day and night, the Fire-Breaking Rhinoceros King finally carried Jiang Sheng to Qiyun Island.

As soon as he entered Qiyun Continent and sensed the abundant spiritual energy in this continent, the Fire-Breaking Rhinoceros King couldn't help but sigh that this was a good place.

As one of the seven continents of Tianyuan Realm, Qiyun Continent is truly a place of great natural beauty.

There is a vast sea of ​​clouds on the Qiyun Continent, and within the continent there are continuous mountains, shrouded in clouds and mist, with rippling water, waterfalls and springs, overlapping mountains, green bamboos forming a sea, and pines and cypresses casting shadows. I don't know how many lives have been nurtured here, and how many immortal mountains and blessed places have been created.

"A fairyland on earth, Luoxia Qiyunzhou."

"This Qiyunzhou is truly a place of beautiful scenery, with natural charm."

Jiang Sheng jumped from the back of the Fire-Resisting Rhinoceros King and landed lightly, looking at the scene in front of him.

The Fire-Proof Rhinoceros King then stood up and transformed into a three-meter-tall figure, wearing red fire armor, holding a wolf-tooth iron pestle in his hand, with a rhinoceros head on top, looking left and right.

Above your head is a vast sea of ​​​​clouds rolling and surging, in front of you are endless towering mountains. Looking at the clouds growing in the mountains and the endless sea of ​​​​forests, a sense of the vastness of the world arises spontaneously. You can't help but sigh that Qiyunzhou is indeed a rare and good place.

No wonder even though the Tianhe Taoist Sect evacuated Qiyunzhou, there are still eight other sects coexisting here.

After all, it is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery, with abundant natural resources. Even eight powerful beings in the fusion realm cannot divide up this huge Qiyun Continent.

If it weren't for the fact that the eight sect ancestors were so blind that they insisted on offending True Lord Qingxiao Yuming, it would be difficult for Qiyunzhou to establish a foundation now.

But with the passing of the eight ancestors, everyone knows that Qiyunzhou is now leaderless and strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

Let alone anything else, just the fact that a fellow like Qing Jiao, who had mediocre abilities, could break into the Shengyun Sect of Qiyun Continent and take advantage of the situation to rob people would show you how weak the eight sects, which are now in the midst of an endless civil war, have become.

The Fire-Repelling Rhino King couldn't help but sigh, "It's a shame that such a precious land was occupied by those eight sects."

"Master, this Qiyun Continent is full of immortal mountains, many of which are blessed places. If you can occupy all the land in this continent, you will definitely be able to obtain 10% of the luck of the Tianyuan Realm."

Jiang Sheng chuckled and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? If I had the ability to occupy an entire continent, I would have achieved the Pure Yang Dao long ago."

"What would I need this continent for then? Wouldn't it be better to just attack and seize the opportunity?"

"I am only a Refining Void Master. No matter how powerful my skills are, how many of those geniuses with Taiyi Dongxuan Dao Fruit can I resist?"

Although he said so, the Fire-Resisting Rhinoceros King looked at Jiang Sheng's indifferent expression, as if the Taiyi Dongxuan Dao Fruit was nothing special in the eyes of this great master.

After all, he is a rare figure in the Penglai Taoist Sect and the number one pride in the Three Realms in the past. How many people in the world can be as proud as him?

Jiang Sheng looked around and nodded with satisfaction: "This place is not bad." The three-foot-tall and ferocious body of the Fire-Repelling Rhinoceros King stood beside the seven-foot Taoist priest, nodding and bowing in a rather strange manner: "The master's vision is naturally not bad."

Jiang Sheng couldn't help but laugh and scold: "You guy, you only know how to flatter your master, can you tell me what's good about this place?"

When the Fire-Proof Rhinoceros King heard this, he was speechless and could only laugh.

Jiang Sheng tapped the Fire-Resisting Rhinoceros King's head, then pointed to the mountains: "To see if a place has spiritual essence, look at its scenery and its situation, and you can get a rough idea."

"Look, these mountains rise and fall like a group of dragons, which is enough to prove that this place is rich in spiritual power and has extraordinary earth veins."

"The white clouds above are like the sea, and the mountains under my feet are like dragons. This is the dragon entering the sea, and the world has its own momentum."

"Looking at the majestic mountains and misty clouds, there is a sense of loftiness. There must have been a great man who attained enlightenment here before."

"Maybe there are still some undiscovered opportunities."

“That’s why I say this is a good place.”

The Fire-Resisting Rhino King suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly: "So that's how it is."

"The master's knowledge is truly comparable to that of a god."

Jiang Sheng was too lazy to pay attention to the rhino, and just said: "This place is good, you can take your demon soldiers and establish a foundation."

After saying that, Jiang Sheng flicked his sleeves, and a black shadow flew out from his wide sleeves.

As soon as the black shadow came out of Jiang Sheng's sleeve, it turned into a dark cloud. The dark cloud kept sprinkling the demon soldiers like rain. In a blink of an eye, 20,000 densely packed demon soldiers appeared in the mountains.

Among the undulating mountains, the ten-foot-tall lion demons and elephant monsters are holding swords, spears, swords and halberds, while the ferocious bull demons and Peng monsters are holding nail hammers and bows and crossbows. Each demon soldier is more than ten feet tall, ferocious and terrifying, with raging demon flames.

They were originally Taoist soldiers carefully trained by the great demons. As soon as they appeared, the evil spirits turned into clouds and soared into the sky, covering the sky and the sun, turning this beautiful place with mountains and clear waters into a domain of demons.

With the Fire-Resisting Rhinoceros King in the Spirit Transformation Realm presiding over the situation, the 20,000 demon soldiers have a backbone and their momentum becomes even stronger.

Under such power, ordinary cultivators who came here would surely be frightened and tremble with fear. Even the great cultivators would not dare to talk about exorcising demons and monsters easily.

Jiang Sheng stood on the top of the mountain, looking calmly at the 20,000 demon soldiers scattered among the mountains, and said leisurely: "Within seven days, I want to see a Taoist temple rise up here."

The Fire-Resisting Rhino King clasped his hands and said, "I obey the order of the great master!"

Soon, the demon soldiers, under the command of the Fire-Resisting Rhinoceros King, began to cut down trees and dig rocks, while Jiang Sheng turned into a ray of clear light and disappeared leisurely.

Qiyun Island, Bishui Lake.

As the place where the eight ancestors of Qiyunzhou and Qingxiao Yuming Zhenjun fought, eight great masters in the fusion realm died here.

The originally million-mile-wide lake with rippling blue waves had already changed its topography under the aftermath of the battle between the nine great masters in the fusion realm.

Now there is no longer any such thing as a clear water lake. Instead, it is a swamp covering an area of ​​more than a million miles. Surrounding it is a sea of ​​dead forest, hiding countless monsters and demons.

Eight True Lords in the fusion realm perished here, and the blood of immortals and gods splashed on the earth. I wonder how many relics of immortals and gods are hidden here.

Nowadays, not only cultivators from Qiyun Continent come here to search for treasures, but even cultivators from other continents come here in an attempt to seek opportunities.

Maybe you can pick up the legacy of an old master in the fusion realm and soar to the sky.

"The vast blue lake stretches for millions of miles, and the immortals and gods have fallen into the wilderness."

"The demons and ghosts have disappeared, and the Taoist priests and fairies are in trouble."

"Everyone says there are wonderful treasures in the ruins, and the heroes and heroes have given their lives for it."

"Who knows that there are monsters hidden in the wilderness? I only see the good and not the bad."

In the sea of ​​dead forests, at the edge of the million-mile swamp, a white-haired old Taoist sat cross-legged on a fallen dead tree, playing and singing an incomprehensible tune.

The old Taoist was wearing a linen robe and holding a pipa in his hand, playing and singing quite comfortably.

The monks who were looking for treasures heard the old Taoist chanting over and over again, and thought that he knew some secrets, so they came forward and asked, "Master Taoist, do you know the secrets?"

The old Taoist sighed and said helplessly: "What secrets can I know?"

"It's nothing more than wanting to go in and search for treasure but not being strong enough. I have no skills and yet I think highly of myself. I can only sing some little songs here and watch you youngsters go in and die, but I can do nothing about it."

After hearing this, the surrounding monks spat and cursed it, then dispersed to continue looking for that slim chance.

Little do they know that although they are looking for opportunities, in the eyes of the robbery cultivators, these treasure-hunting cultivators themselves are also opportunities.

The old Taoist couldn't stop these people from committing suicide, so he could only continue playing and singing the pipa.

At some point, a figure appeared beside the old Taoist.

That was a young Taoist.

The Taoist was wearing a green Taoist robe, with his hair tied into a bun with a jade hoop on his head, and holding a bamboo stick in his hand, as if he had come from a long distance.

When we got to the swamp, we didn't go in. We just listened to the Taoist singing.

After the old Taoist played and sang a few more times, he looked at the Taoist priest and said, "Master Taoist priest, if you don't go looking for treasures, can you spot the treasure just by standing here and watching me?"

The Taoist nodded, implying: "In my opinion, the existence of the old Taoist priest is much more important than those so-called opportunities and treasures."

The old Taoist hummed a few times: "After all, he is from a famous sect, and his words are very pleasant."

I don't know when, the old Taoist and the young Taoist were clearly standing here, but the monks who were looking for treasure around them, as well as the demons who were ambushing in secret, all ignored their existence, as if there was nothing here.

The old Taoist fiddled with the pipa in his arms and said, "I just came here to take a look. I don't want to get involved in the affairs of your big sects and holy places. You came to see me, but you found the wrong person."

The Taoist did not comment: "Maybe, but doesn't the old Taoist want to take a peek at the opportunity mentioned in the rumors?"

"The Pure Yang falls, the Great Dao grieves, the innate Dao rhyme hides its traces."

"The five fortunes of heaven, the five virtues of earth, the yin and yang and the five elements turn the world around."

"That's a pure yang opportunity!"

"I heard that the True Man Ku Teng of Zhaoxing Realm is a rare genius. He made rapid progress all the way, from building the Heavenly Dao foundation, to the top-grade golden elixir, to Taiyi Yuanying. He never encountered any bottlenecks until he broke through the realm of refining emptiness. It can be said that he has extraordinary luck."

“Even when he reached the realm of refining emptiness, True Lord Ku Teng bravely passed the three tests, but after overcoming the three disasters, he failed to break through the realm and merge. Over time, the high-spirited True Lord Ku Teng of the past disappeared from the world, and only an old man Ku Teng who wasted his time was left.”

"Now that the chance to become a pure yang is right before your eyes, can the old Taoist really remain calm and watch the younger generations show off their talents without competing with them?"

The old Taoist was silent.

Sometimes, silence is an attitude.

The Taoist priest didn't take it seriously: "Old Taoist master, please think about it carefully."

"Ten years later, I will hold a Taiyi Immortal Banquet at Qianyuan Mountain in Suxizhou, and wait for you to attend."

Before he finished speaking, the Taoist figure disappeared without a trace.

The old Taoist, or the old man with withered vines, looked quietly in the direction where the young Taoist went away.

"It is said that the Qiankun Dao Sect of the Jiuzhou Realm has produced a rare figure. After seeing him today, I find that he is indeed extraordinary."
