Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

Penglai Lingyuan!

After Jiang Sheng revealed his identity and background, the demons that were secretly spying on him immediately shrank their heads, just like a breeze that turned into a tornado and rose up, dispersing the demonic atmosphere for thousands of miles.

A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

The reputation of Yuchen Lingyuan Zhenjun of Penglai Taoist Sect has recently risen with the defeat of Tianyun Qiyuan Zhenjun, the Taoist disciple of Qiankun Taoist Sect. Both his Taoism and his background are first-class.

According to legend, Yuchen Lingyuan Zhenjun is the second pure yang seedling after Qingxiao Yuming Zhenjun, the tenth generation true disciple of Penglai, and is valued by many Taoist masters of Penglai Taoist Sect.

With this identity, how did he come to Jurong? !

Not only did the big demons feel that something was wrong, even the Demon Lord Tenglong felt it was deeply troubled.

A core disciple of Penglai Taoist sect, Chunyang Miaozi, came to Jurong and said that the Green Snake was involved in an incident in Penglai. God knows how big the incident was.

The Demon Lord Vine Dragon is not a person who likes to fight for victory. He is the transformed form of the Green Vine Demon Dragon Tree, or it may be the nature of a plant spirit. The Demon Lord Vine Dragon likes nothing more than to practice freely. He will find a piece of Feng Shui treasure land, close his eyes and take a nap, and his Taoism will naturally increase.

Now that the Demon Lord Tenglong has reached the Mahayana realm, he has no hope for Chunyang. He also doesn't want to let his cultivation go to waste for the illusory Chunyang.

Therefore, what the Demon Lord Tenglong hopes for is nothing more than that all the demons in his Tenglong territory are kind and friendly, so that the younger generations can practice with peace of mind.

In other words, Demon Lord Tenglong only wants to be the head of the family and protect the younger demons in the Tenglong territory, and doesn't want to get involved in other things at all.

Perhaps it was because of Demon Lord Tenglong's character that Qingqiu handed over these billions of miles of mountains, rivers and lakes to Demon Lord Tenglong.

But now such a thing has happened in Tenglong’s territory, and Lingyuan Zhenjun of Penglai Taoist Sect has come directly to the door. How big is the matter?

For a moment, Tenglong Demon Lord felt a little regretful. He turned his head to look at the green snake hiding behind him. The green snake looked at Tenglong Demon Lord's somewhat turbid eyes. Although Tenglong Demon Lord always appeared as a kind elder, the green snake still couldn't help shivering.

This is the Demon Lord Tenglong. How could he have clean hands from growing from a small demon to the master of billions of miles of mountains, rivers and lakes?

God knows how many lives are in the hands of this seemingly kind old man. Without the flesh and blood and souls of hundreds of millions of lives as nourishment, how could there be such a lush and towering green vine dragon tree today?
"Green Snake, Ling Yuan said that you are related to the Penglai Dao Sect's affairs."

"Tell me first, is what Ling Yuan said true or false?"

"If you can guarantee that what Ling Yuan said is false, then he is the 13th generation of the Penglai Dao Sect, and is valued by those Dao Lords. I also guarantee that he will not be able to easily leave this Tenglong territory today."

"But if what Ling Yuan said is true, you have to give me an explanation."

The words of Demon Lord Tenglong were not loud, but they were like thunders exploding in the Green Snake's sea of ​​consciousness, shaking the Green Snake's soul. The whole demon was trembling, almost revealing its true form.

When speaking, the Demon Lord Tenglong unexpectedly used some kind of magical power, which seemed to have left a mark in the green snake's soul to test whether what the green snake said was true or false.

One can imagine how much pressure the green snake was under at this time.

The great monster from the mountains, rivers and lakes of the Tenglong territory looked at the green snake curiously. Coupled with the pressure from the Tenglong Monster Lord, the green snake was sweating profusely and his face became paler and paler.

The more Green Snake acted like this, the uglier Tenglong Demon Lord's face became. This almost made it clear that Green Snake was really involved in something in Penglai, and the impact was extremely bad.

Suddenly, Jiang Sheng said, "Demon Lord, this matter involves the secrets of Penglai. If outsiders know about it, it will inevitably cause trouble."

"I dare to ask the Demon Lord to send the outsiders away and let me confront this green snake face to face, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Tenglong Yaozun heaved a long sigh of relief: "Since little friend Lingyuan has such a request, then please enter my cave."

As he spoke, the Demon Lord Tenglong waved his hand, and thousands of green vines surged and pushed open the door to a cave. Jiang Sheng bowed and happily entered it. The Demon Lord Tenglong was too lazy to pay attention to the surrounding big monsters who were watching, and entered the cave with the green snake.

As the strange vision of the vine dragon that covered the sky and encompassed billions of miles of heaven and earth dissipated, the figures of Jiang Sheng and the Demon Lord Tenglong no longer existed between heaven and earth, leaving only those big demons who wanted to watch the fun looking at each other in bewilderment, and then withdrew their spiritual consciousness.

Although they only heard a few words, there were too many things involved. For the sake of their own lives, they retreated back to the cave for safety.

The territory of Tenglong seemed to have returned to peace, but only those who were involved knew the undercurrents.

Qingteng Cave is the cave realm of the Demon Lord Tenglong, and it is also the residence of the real body of this great demon lord.

The Demon Lord Vine Dragon is a plant spirit that has attained enlightenment. Although his original body is extremely powerful, he is different from birds and beasts. He needs a place to take root.

This green vine cave is actually a small world. The body of the Vine Dragon Demon Lord is rooted in this small world, gradually growing and thriving. Gradually, nothing else exists in this small world.

As soon as he entered the Qingteng Cave, what caught Jiang Sheng's eyes were trees, endless trees.

The cave is filled with towering ancient trees, with endless green shade like the sea. Although these towering ancient trees have different shapes, their auras are exactly the same. They are all like the lush ancient tree that stands tall in the center of the cave. They are obviously the offspring of the roots and rhizomes of that ancient tree.

And that towering ancient tree, its huge crown supporting the sky, its trunk with bark as twisted as dragon scales is as thick as a pillar of heaven, and the undulating roots around it are like undulating mountains, majestic and spectacular, not to mention that the ancient tree is covered with vines that look like dragons, some of which have already vaguely taken on the shape of dragons.

The most eye-catching of them are the nine dragon vines, each of which has grown claws and fangs that entwine the trunk and branches, and at the end are nine dragon heads that together guard the core of the tree crown.

This is the true form of the Vine Dragon Demon Lord, the Green Vine Demon Dragon Tree.

Tenglong Yaozun said with a smile: "My dear Lingyuan, this is where my real body is."

"This cave is the world where I was born. I have been growing in this world until I could no longer grow. Then I ascended with this world and came to Jurong World."

"Lord Donghua, the Great Saint of the Nine-tailed Wheel of Confusion saw that I had decent talent and was kindhearted and unwilling to kill, so he gave me this southeastern land as a place for me to practice."

"Then I placed my original body and this nascent world in the southeast, and opened up these millions of miles of mountains, rivers and lakes. To be honest, this happened ten thousand years ago."

Demon Lord Tenglong spoke slowly, as if he was reminiscing about the past. From his tone and the slightly friendly "Little friend Lingyuan", it can be seen that Demon Lord Tenglong still accepted Jiang Sheng's initiative to take a step back.

Jiang Sheng also heard the emotion in the tone of this demon lord. When he talked about the last ten thousand years, he was not referring to 30,000 years of the Mountain and River Calendar, but about 20,000 years of the Mountain and River Calendar.

Once a plant spirit attains enlightenment, although its cultivation is extremely slow, it has a solid foundation. In addition, plants have a long life and strong vitality. With the accumulation of knowledge, as long as the plant spirit can grow, its cultivation will be strong.

For example, this Tenglong Demon Venerable had survived the Three Calamities and Five Tribulations. If you counted carefully, he should have lived for nearly 20,000 years. Apart from those Mahayana of the Shinto who were blessed by the Heavenly Dao, it was not that the Mahayana of the three paths of immortals, Buddhas, and demons could not live to be 20,000 years old, but that it was difficult for the Mahayana to live to be 20,000 years old due to various calamities and struggles.

However, the spirit of plants and trees was not active by nature, and they lived leisurely in this corner of the world. As a result, they avoided many disasters and lived safely for 20,000 years.

From this perspective, this Tenglong Demon Lord is also a person who is well versed in the rotation of the Great Dao.

Jiang Sheng nodded: "The demon lord is not a good fighter by nature, and he has opened up millions of miles of mountains and rivers to nourish future generations and protect billions of lives. He has infinite blessings and virtues, and disasters will disappear on their own."

The Vine Dragon Demon Lord laughed: "How can I say that I have immeasurable blessings? Since I was born in that small world, although I was in chaos at the beginning and had no distinction between good and evil, the number of lives that died under my tree roots is more than billions."

"When my spiritual intelligence was born, I was eager to grow up, longing for the sun and rain, the essence of the sun and the moon. Then I kept swallowing all kinds of nutrients, getting bigger and bigger."

"Until my tree canopy breaks through the fierce winds, thunder and fire and reaches between the sun, moon and stars, until my roots break through the mantle of a million miles and sink into the earth's core, this small world will be completely squeezed dry by me, and there will be no living creatures except me."

"I have too many causal relationships to bear, and they are too heavy."

After saying that, Demon Lord Tenglong stretched his body and straightened his hunched body, as if he was really carrying a burden of billions of tons.

Looking at the green wood staff in his hand, Tenglong Yaozun sat down cross-legged, and recalled the past with a smile on his face: "In the past, I felt deeply the weight of my sins, and then visited Donghua Zunzhu, hoping that Jiuwei Dasheng could solve the confusion in my heart."

"The Great Sage said: Although I am the master of confused minds, I am not good at untangling the knots in people's hearts. It is easy to confuse the mind, but it is not easy to purify the mind. If you really feel that your karma is too heavy, it is better for you to take root in one place and nurture the lives of those people."

"The countless living beings in the heavens and myriad worlds are all constantly reincarnated. You sent your own small world into the Jurong world, and the living beings in your world who died unjustly will naturally reincarnate in the Jurong world."

"Although your past life is like dust, you have nurtured an area and brought benefits to a region. You have merits and virtues. If you use them to feed back the sentient beings in your world, you can always resolve the karma of your life."

"So, I took root in the southeast. The creatures among the mountains, rivers and lakes in the southeast are not only the creatures of Jurong Realm, but also the spirits of my own world."

Demon Lord Tenglong seemed to be talking about his own affairs, and also seemed to be explaining to Jiang Sheng why he wanted to protect the green snake.

Jiang Sheng didn't say much, just listened quietly. He had already rescued Demon Lord Teng Long, and now it was up to Demon Lord Teng Long to deal with it himself.

After he finished speaking, Demon Lord Tenglong moved his fingers slightly, and the green snake seemed to be controlled. It walked forward in a daze and knelt in front of Demon Lord Tenglong.

The Tenglong Demon Lord tapped the green snake's brow with the green wooden dragon staff in his hand and said, "Tell me what you did. There is no outsider here. Tell me the whole story. If the crime is not serious, I will risk my old face to ask Lingyuan Zhenjun for mercy on your behalf, so that you can make up for your crime and make meritorious contributions, and I won't take your life."

The green snake was stunned for a moment, then told everything it had done in the past.

The move of the Demon Lord Tenglong was actually the ability to examine the mind, which was to torture the true spirit of the Tao heart. If he wanted to ensure that his Tao heart was not damaged and his true spirit was flawless, he absolutely could not cheat.

As the green snake spoke about his past, the more he talked, the uglier the expression on Demon Lord Tenglong's face became.

It's not just the Green Snakes and their men who are burning, killing and looting outside. Burning, killing and looting are just small matters.

Which living being in the realm of refining emptiness dares to say that his hands were not stained with blood during his journey to breaking through the realm of refining emptiness?

If there is no chance, how can one achieve the Dao Fruit of Refining Void?
Killing people for treasure is not a big deal, but offending too many people is a problem.

The green snake only took a moment to explain the various efforts that the four demons had made in order to break through the realm and refine the void: for example, killing people and stealing treasures in a certain middle thousand world and bloodbathing a sect, for example, in order to refine demon pills, blood was sacrificed in a small thousand world, and for the natural materials and treasures needed to break through the realm and refine the void, the branch courtyard of the upper sect of the immortal sect was robbed.
According to Green Snake's account, during this process, they not only looted the resource villa of Penglai Taoist Sect in a small world, but also looted those of Qiankun Taoist Sect, Chixiao Taoist Sect, and so on.

But they only looted the resource courtyards of the Small Thousand Worlds, and they didn't dare to go to the places in the Middle Thousand Worlds where the True Lord Lianxu was in charge. Therefore, the trouble they caused was not big, and not many people were injured.

After all, they were in awe of the reputation of the Chunyang Holy Land, and looting some villas in remote places was already the limit.

As the green snake talked more and more, Jiang Sheng's expression became more and more strange: Why did the green snake never mention the matter of Qiu Yu Tianyi from beginning to end?

Does it have nothing to do with him, or is there some restriction?
Seeing that Jiang Sheng looked a little strange, Demon Lord Tenglong asked, "Friend Lingyuan, does this evil beast have anything else to say?"

Jiang Sheng thought for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Monster Lord, can you make him regain consciousness? I have a few questions to ask."

Demon Lord Tenglong nodded, and the green wooden dragon staff paused slightly. As an invisible ripple spread out, the green snake instantly regained consciousness. Realizing what he had said, the green snake's face instantly turned pale, and the whole person became weak.

Jiang Sheng took a step forward and shouted softly, and the sound of Taoist thunder rang out, forcibly boosting the spirit of the green snake.

"Qing Snake, I didn't come here because of what you said."

"Let me ask you, do you know Qiu Yu Tian Yi?"

Autumn rain clothes?

A murderous intent suddenly appeared in the eyes of the Demon Lord Tenglong, but was then suppressed. However, a wave of fear had already risen in his heart: How could the Demon Lord Tenglong, who had lived for almost 20,000 years, not know what the Autumn Rain Heavenly Clothes was?
That's an evil thing!
Could it be that the green snake is involved in this thing?
No wonder Ling Yuan, the core disciple of Penglai, is here!

If the green snake really has some relationship with Qiuyu Tianyi, the Demon Lord Tenglong will have to personally clean up the mess or even do something else.

After hearing Jiang Shengzhi's question, the green snake looked bewildered: "Qiuyu Tianyi?"

"What Qiuyu Tianyi, aren't you here because we looted Penglai Villa?!"

Jiang Sheng found it absurd. Was it worth it for him to personally take action to rob the Penglai villas in several small worlds?
Is this green snake pretending to be crazy or is he really ignorant?
Could it be that after all his busy work, what he caught was not the culprit, but a group of rats who stole resources?

Seeing that Jiang Sheng looked strange, the green snake thought for a moment and said quickly, "Master, please don't be angry. I remember now! I remember now!"

"Although I don't know Qiu Yu Tian Yi, I know who is involved in this matter!"

Jiang Sheng immediately asked: "Who?!"

The green snake said decisively: "Qingqiu!"

"A nobleman from Qingqiu mentioned Qiuyu Tianyi!" (End of this chapter)
