Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

Qiyun Island is a mountain at the foot of the southern region.

The ruins of the previous Lushan Sect have been cleared away, and all the bricks, stones and rubble have been swept away. After thousands of monks and Taoist soldiers cleaned and tidied it up, Lushan has now regained some of its former appearance.

After all, it is one of the three great immortal mountains in the southern region of Qiyun Continent. Lushan is also the place where the veins of the eight directions converge and it is the spiritual root of the mysteries of heaven and earth.

This blessed mountain is much stronger than the Dongyu Mountains.

Although he had established a Taoist temple in the Dongyu Mountains, Jiang Sheng from Lushan planned to transform it and use it as his own place of practice.

On this day, the sky was clear and the air was fresh, with few clouds in the sky. There was a rainbow lingering above the foothills, and clear air was flowing.

In front of the newly renovated temple on the top of Lushan Sect, Master Di Feng was waiting as a ceremonial master.

Suddenly, a bright light appeared between the clouds and the sky, and then a grand procession came.

The ceremonial guards flew in the clouds, with soldiers holding ceremonial flags in the front and disciples serving in the back, jointly guarding the cloud chariot in the middle.

A canopy opened above the cloud chariot, emitting wisps of pure and immortal fragrance.

Taoist Yun Zhen, the only remaining True Lord of Lianxu in Shengyun Sect, was sitting cross-legged on it and rushing towards Lushan.

Di Feng saw Taoist Yun Zhen's procession from afar. As the procession entered Lushan, Di Feng gathered all his strength and said, "Taiyi Yun Zhen, the Taoist master of Shengyun Sect, has arrived!"

As the ceremonial procession came to an end, Taoist Yun Zhen, accompanied by two disciples, walked into the palace with their heads held high.

Taoist Yunzhen was the first to arrive. As the weakest among the Eight Sects of Qiyun, Taoist Yunzhen did not think about anything else but trying his best to preserve the sect's heritage and his own incense.

Therefore, he never minded joining a powerful existence.

In the past, when Tianhe Dao Sect was in existence, Shengyun Sect was affiliated with Tianhe Dao Sect.

After Tianhe Dao Sect left, Shengyun Sect attached itself to Lushan Sect.

Now that Lushan Sect has been destroyed and Jiang Sheng has arrived, Shengyun Sect has also unhesitatingly attached itself to Jiang Sheng.

Although this behavior seems shameful, it is a helpless act.

With weak strength, he has no backbone at all. The only way he can preserve his orthodoxy and wait for the right opportunity is to compromise.

Now Taoist Yunzhen has sorted out his mood and came over on his own initiative, asking for help from someone who smiles at him.

With the arrival of Taoist Yunzhen from Shengyun Sect, True Lords from other sects also arrived one after another.

"Mingzhao Sect's Taiyi Qingzhao Zhenjun has arrived!"

"Fangshan Sect's Taiyi Mountain Traveling True Lord has arrived!"

"Taiyi Danping Zhenjun of Danqing Sect has arrived!"

"Six Origin Sect's Taiyi Yuanhua Master has arrived!"

The eight sects of Qiyun and the five true masters of the sects all arrived and gathered in the hall.

At this time, in the hall, cloud beds rose up, and on the broken jade ice platform, there were glazed jade cups filled with nectar, gilded silver plates filled with spiritual fruits and vegetables, as well as delicacies from land and sea, precious elixirs and rare treasures.

Although these sects are also among the top sects on a continent and each has its own territory, they are weak and it is not easy for them to maintain their sect. Rare treasures are simply out of their reach.

I really saw a lot of good things at this banquet.

For example, the nectar in the wine cup is made from the water from three stars mixed with the essence of stalactites, moon fruits and orchids. It is a superior fairy wine. Drinking it can increase your Taoism, cleanse your Tao heart, and purify your soul.

Besides, the spiritual fruits and vegetables, and delicacies from land and sea on the plate, which one is not a fairy product, which one is not a rare treasure?
Not to mention the precious elixir in the jade box.

Seventh-grade precious elixir, three-star Yuyuan elixir.

The Dao pattern is three, which is made with three stars' pure water, the essence of the sun and the moon, as well as Zhilan Zhu fruit, etc. For the immortals in the realm of refining emptiness, it is to increase the Dao and refine the precious elixir of immortal source.

This kind of precious elixir is hard to come by. No one in the Eight Sects of Qiyun can refine it. Only the Pure Yang Holy Land has the capital and sufficient resources to train alchemists who can refine this kind of elixir.

Looking at the Dao patterns on these precious pills, the three green patterns faintly glow with silver light, proving that the pills are of top quality.

Even when Tianhe Dao Sect had not left Qiyun Continent, three-star Yuyuan Pills were rare, let alone top-grade precious pills.

Now in the entire Qiyun Continent, apart from True Lord Yuchen Lingyuan, who else can do it?
At this moment, Taoist Yun Zhen looked at the nectar, then at the precious pill in the box, and could not help but feel delighted, thinking that it had finally come this time.

How could we get these good things when we were affiliated with Lushan Sect?
Lushan Sect wants to be the largest sect in Qiyun Continent, and it also wants to occupy all the resources of Qiyun Continent by pulling in the two major sects, Lanshan Sect and Qishan Sect. How can the good things flow to them?

But now, just for coming to the banquet, he has such a precious pill as Sanxing Yuyuan Pill. Such a generous True Lord is worthy of being from the Three Realms.
Not only Taoist Yunzhen was surprised, but Taoist Qingzhao and Taoist Yuanhua were also extremely surprised.

Taoist Danping of the Danqing Sect was even more secretly frightened. As the only sect among the Eight Sects of Qiyun that focused on refining pills and making talismans, Taoist Danping could be regarded as a master of alchemy.

But she couldn't refine this three-star Yuyuan Pill.

It's not because of the lack of spiritual materials, it's simply because the skills are not up to par.

Not to mention her, even her master, the former leader of the Danqing Sect, Dan Ding Zhenjun who was in the fusion realm, might not be able to refine a three-star Yuyuan Pill of such quality.

And this precious elixir was placed on a broken jade ice table in front of each of them.

Taoist Danping looked around. The Ruyi Cloud Beds with carved dragons and phoenixes were held up by the clouds. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
After counting, Taoist Danping suddenly frowned: Why are there only seven?
There is one for the Danqing Sect, one for the Mingzhao Sect, one for the Fangshan Sect, one for the Liuyuan Sect, one for the Shengyun Sect, and plus Yuchen Lingyuan Zhenjun, there should be six in total.

Who is the extra one for?
Could it be that another True Lord from another continent is here to visit, or are the Qishan Sect and the Lanshan Sect planning to surrender?
Taoist Danping kept thinking, but Taoist Yunzhen didn't care about it at all. He had already decided to join us, so why would he think about these things? Soon, a ceremonial officer sang: "Yuchen Lingyuan Zhenjun has arrived."

At that moment, both Taoist Danping, who was deep in meditation, and Taoist Yunzhen, who was wandering in the universe, stood up to greet him.

As the palace door opened, a young Taoist wearing a green crown and a black robe stepped in.

The Taoist has a face like a crown of jade, eyes like stars, and his every move exudes the aura of a great man. He can be said to have the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, and is a manifestation of heaven.

In the Three Realms, True Lord Yuchen Lingyuan is here!
Taoist Danping looked and saw that the Taoist crown on Jiang Sheng's head seemed to be made of green jade, with seven stars inlaid on it, forming a constellation of stars. The Taoist robe he was wearing was of a dark background, with green bamboo, clouds and cranes painted on it. He wore a green gauze feather shirt on the outside, a jade belt with a dragon on it around his waist, and a pair of square shoes on his feet. He had a majestic aura and was pure and upright.

He is truly worthy of being a disciple of the holy land of the Three Realms. He is truly a peerless genius.

Jiang Sheng smiled and said in a clear and gentle voice: "Please come in, fellow Taoists."

"I have long admired you all. It is a great honor to meet you today. I invite you all to this banquet just for a gathering."

Taoist Yunzhen said quickly, "What are you saying, Master Lingyuan? It is a great honor for us to meet Master Lingyuan, who is a person from the Three Realms. Master Lingyuan, please take your seat quickly."

Taoist Shan Xing and Taoist Yuan Hua also echoed, "That's right, that's right, Master Zhenjun, please take your seat quickly."

Jiang Sheng nodded, sat on the first cloud bed, and looked to both sides. There was no shortage of female cultivators among the Eight Sects of Qiyun, and there were also several who could cultivate to the realm of refining emptiness.

For example, Danping Zhenjun of Danqing Sect and Qingzhao Zhenjun of Mingzhao Sect, these two are Taiyi Yuanjun.

However, the immortals in the upper three realms have all united the three treasures into one, and their bodies and spirits have ascended. However, they deliberately distinguish between yin and yang, which makes them inferior.

As Jiang Sheng sat down, the five Lianxu Zhenjun also sat down one after another, waiting for the banquet to begin.

Dan Ping spoke up at this time: "May I ask Master Lingyuan, apart from the five Masters of our sect, have you invited anyone else?"

Hearing this, the others looked at Jiang Sheng.

Jiang Sheng chuckled: "That position was left intentionally by me."

"I'm sure you all know about the Lushan Sect."

The five True Lords nodded one after another, but their expressions were different.

Obviously, Jiang Sheng's destruction of mountains, destruction of temples, killing Yuelu and other four refining masters in one day and severing the Lushan Sect's orthodoxy really frightened them.

Jiang Sheng looked calm: "Qiyunzhou was previously under the jurisdiction of Tianhe Dao Sect."

"This time I came to Qiyunzhou to take charge of Qiyun temporarily on behalf of Tianhe Dao Sect. I have already discussed this matter with True Lord Zhaozhen and True Lord Mingxian in Cuixiazhou."

"Since I am the acting leader of Qiyun, I must ensure that the eight sects of Qiyun will not surrender to outsiders. This is my guarantee to Tianhe Dao Sect, and I hope you can give me this guarantee as well."

After saying that, Jiang Sheng slowly looked at everyone in the hall.

Taoist Yunzhen, Taoist Danping and others lowered their heads involuntarily under Jiang Sheng's gaze.

I don’t know why, even though they are all at the Dao Fruit of Refining Void, they feel awe in front of Jiang Sheng, as if there is some calamity hidden in those eyes, as if there is an abyss that can easily swallow them up.

After slowly glancing around, Jiang Sheng smiled, and the originally heavy atmosphere in the hall lightened.

Jiang Sheng said slowly: "If someone respects me one foot, I will respect him one yard."

"Since you are all able to come from among the eight sects of Qiyunzhou, I will naturally accept your kindness. Please rest assured."

"As for Lushan Sect, Qishan Sect, and Lanshan Sect, I actually have no intention of completely destroying them."

"To punish without teaching is cruelty. I will use the Lushan Sect as an example to warn Qishan and Lanshan. If they change their minds, they will have a place in this temple. But if they refuse to change their minds, I will have no choice but to use thunderbolt methods."

Taoist Yunzhen, Taoist Shanxing, and Taoist Yuanhua all nodded: "We will follow the orders of the True Lord."

As he was speaking, the voice of Di Feng Zhenren suddenly rang out from outside the hall: "Qishan Sect, Taiyi Qixia Zhenjun has arrived!"

At that moment, Taoist Yunzhen and others all perked up and looked towards the palace gate, but they didn't expect that it was the Qishan Sect that came!
Soon, as the palace door opened, Qixia Zhenjun walked in neither servile nor overbearing, and bowed to Jiang Sheng: "Qishan Sect Qixia, greets Lingyuan Zhenjun."

Jiang Sheng raised his hand and gestured: "Daoyou are late, but the seat is still reserved for you."

After expressing his gratitude, Qixia Zhenjun calmly sat down.

With the arrival of Qixia Zhenjun, representing the Qishan Sect, the banquet officially began.

The chimes sound, the stringed instruments begin, the zither and the harp move, the melodious sounds of nature bring joy to people's hearts.

Jiang Sheng looked at the people present: Qishan Sect, Shengyun Sect, Mingzhao Sect, Danqing Sect, Fangshan Sect, Liuyuan Sect. Six of the eight Qiyun sects were here. The situation in Qiyun Continent would not be chaotic.

Jiang Sheng didn't care how capable these people were. As long as they could maintain stability in the area, they were helping Jiang Sheng.

This is also the reason why Jiang Sheng would not clean out the Eight Sects of Qiyun.

The eight Qiyun sects have only seventeen Lianxu Zhenjun in total, and even if they are added together, they are no match for Jiang Sheng.

But it is easy to destroy mountains and temples, but the mess left behind is difficult to clean up. If they are all killed, who should Jiang Sheng let manage the huge Qiyun Island?
Amid the dancing and singing, several True Lords toasted each other frequently and discussed the interesting stories of Qiyunzhou.

Jiang Sheng also watched the True Lords chatting and talking with a smile. It was not until the end of the banquet that Jiang Sheng said, "Since Lanshan Sect did not attend the banquet, there is no need for them to come."

"In three days, I will attack Lanshan. Please come and witness it." (End of this chapter)
