Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

"True Lord."

In a temporary cave, four great demons of the realm of refining emptiness, namely a green snake, a yellow rat, a white wolf and a black bear, were standing together in fear.

The four great demons were arranged in order of height. Each of them had a look of fear on their faces and their bodies were trembling slightly. They did not have the dignity of a great demon at the level of Lianxu at all.

At this moment, opposite these four great monsters, Jiang Sheng was kneeling in front of the desk, bending over and engraving something.

Several days have passed since Jiang Sheng released him.

In the past few days, the yellow rat and the green snake have been waiting here, not daring to make any movements, and Jiang Sheng has never looked up at them, as if he is very confident in them.

This temporary cave was not built high and wide, because Jiang Sheng opened it up based on his own activities, without considering the situation of the four big monsters at all. Therefore, the four big monsters have been hunching over these days, fearing that they would accidentally destroy this temporary cave.

The tip of the brush hooked and engraved the mysterious inspiration on the talisman paper, which was coated with a layer of the true meaning of the three disasters and imprinted with a trace of the true form of Bifeng.

Putting down the brush and looking at the Three Tribulations Beifeng Talisman, Jiang Sheng nodded with satisfaction and put the finished talisman into his sleeve. Then Jiang Sheng looked at the four big monsters in front of him.

"Green Snake has told you everything you did."

"According to your behavior of looting various holy places and branches in the myriad worlds, if you are caught, you will be suppressed in one place for five thousand years and serve hard labor, not to mention being put on the demon-slaying platform."

"There are two paths before you now. One is that I will send you back to the Three Realms and then do labor. The other is that you will do something for me. After the task is completed, you can leave Jurong Realm and go wherever you want."

Jiang Sheng gave two choices. The four big monsters looked at each other and felt uneasy. It seemed that both choices were not good ideas.

Especially the second one, it is not a simple matter at first glance, if you are not careful, your life will be in danger.

The green snake asked tentatively, "May I ask, Master Zhenjun, if I sincerely repent, will there be a chance of recovery?"

Jiang Sheng nodded: "My Penglai has many branches in the heavens and myriad worlds, but we are still in need of some reliable mountain-guarding beasts. If you are willing to repent, I will send you to those branches to guard them for Penglai for three thousand years, and the matter here in Penglai will be settled."

The black bear demon's eyes lit up: guarding the mountain gate for three thousand years, this seems to be something that can be done.

Before the Black Bear Demon could speak, he was interrupted by the Yellow Rat, who asked, "Master, have you resolved the matter of Penglai?

Jiang Sheng looked at the four monsters with a half-smile: "You plundered the heavens and the myriad worlds, so how could my Penglai family be the only one to suffer?"

"After I have been guarding the mountain gate in Penglai for three thousand years, there are still many families waiting for you. Don't worry, you don't have to worry about cultivation for at least 20,000 to 30,000 years."

Twenty to thirty thousand years!

The number that Jiang Sheng said lightly made the four monsters feel extremely heavy.

The combined ages of these four people are less than 20,000 or 30,000 years. By the time they are jailed in various places, three to five thousand years for one family, three to five thousand years for another. All of their long lifespans will be used to guard the door for others.

Seeing that this road was blocked, the green snake could only sigh: "I'd better trouble you to tell me the second way."

Obviously, this second path is the path Jiang Sheng prepared for them. This path is definitely not easy to take, but they seem to have no better choice at the moment.

Jiang Sheng nodded slightly, and his pair of eyes as deep as the abyss glanced at the four monsters lightly. In an instant, that sword-like gaze made the four monsters shudder. The hair on their bodies stood up, and they felt as if a magical sword with infinite killing power was pressed against their eyebrows.

"You have to thank the Green Snake."

"Originally, I didn't intend to give you any chance to survive. After all, if you can survive well after robbing my Penglai Villa, it will undoubtedly point the way for those who have evil intentions."

"But I am very interested in the news that Green Snake told me, so I am willing to give you a chance."

"The Qingqiu's Ten Thousand Chariots Banquet will begin in less than three years. I am looking forward to this banquet. How about you four go and take a look at Qingqiu for me?"

After Jiang Sheng finished speaking, the four demons were stunned.

Even the Black Bear Demon could understand what Jiang Sheng meant: Ling Yuan actually asked them to test Qing Qiu!

That is a holy land and the overlord of the eastern region of Jurong Realm. How could the four of them, little virtual refining demons with low Dao Fruits, have the courage to test Qingqiu's methods?
Seeing that the four demons of Qingqiu turned pale as paper when they were mentioned, Jiang Sheng chuckled and said, "Don't be afraid. I don't want you to assassinate any nobles in Qingqiu, nor do I intend to let you disrupt the banquet of Wancheng."

"I will give you a batch of talismans. You just need to make some noise around Qingqiu and attract the attention of those with Su clan."

"Once you have led out those Su family members, you can spread out the talismans I have bestowed upon you, and then you can escape."

"Now that the Ten Thousand Chariots Banquet is approaching, the elders of Qingqiu will not show up. The ones who will deal with you are nothing more than Qingqiu's Taoist soldiers and a few refining voids. If you can't beat them, you can always run away, right?"

Hearing this, the four demons seemed to see a glimmer of hope: "May I ask, Master, we just need to make some noise, and then see the noble Su family throw out the talisman bestowed by Master, and then we can leave?"

Jiang Sheng nodded: "I will not hide it from you. Although this matter is dangerous, there is hope. Do as I say, and your previous mistakes will be forgiven."

After saying that, Jiang Sheng took out a stack of talismans. Looking at those talismans that were imprinted with traces of the black lotus and vaguely revealed a bit of unusual mystery, the four demons looked at each other, exchanged glances, and finally nodded heavily.

Since Jiang Sheng asked them to go, they would definitely not show up easily. At worst, they would take these talismans which looked extremely precious and run away.

Seeing the four monsters agreed, Jiang Sheng smiled: "That's great, come on, one pill for each monster, and take the precious pill that I made specially for you."

Looking at the precious pill that was placed in front of them and was branded with the Qingxuan Lotus pattern and was obviously of extraordinary quality, the four demons looked at each other in surprise.

Just think about it and you will know that there is definitely something wrong with this precious pill, but for now I have to accept it. I am at the mercy of others, and there is no greater suffering for a monster than this.

Seeing the four monsters swallowing the precious pill with bitter faces, Jiang Sheng then distributed the stack of talismans engraved with the mark of the black lotus in front of him to the four monsters. Each monster received about ten talismans, not more, not less, just enough.

"Live peacefully here for half a year. When the incident in Tenglong Territory has passed, you can proceed to take action."

After saying that, Jiang Sheng pointed his finger, and green lotuses emerged and transformed into five-sided lotus pedestals. Jiang Sheng sat down cross-legged and practiced his skills. The four demons followed suit, each with a lotus pedestal, and calmed down for the time being.

There are no years in the mountains, and years are not recorded in practice.

For the living beings who have embarked on the path of cultivation, no matter if they are demons, monsters, humans, ghosts, gods or Buddhas, the time they spend traveling and fighting with others is always very short. Most of the time they are either practicing skills or studying cultivation.

Half a year passed, and the Qi-refining creatures were no longer taken seriously. They practiced their skills and the time passed in the blink of an eye.

For those in the upper three realms like Jiang Sheng and the four monsters, their life span has long been as long as the heaven and earth, so there is no such thing as a long life span. The only thing facing the upper three realms is calamity.

If you can survive the calamity, you can live freely and forever; if you cannot survive the calamity, you will return to heaven and earth and turn into ashes. This is why the four monsters are unwilling to choose the first path.

After guarding the gate for twenty or thirty thousand years, they have no time for cultivation. Once the disaster strikes, there will be no way out. Those holy places and mysterious sects will not give these monsters anything to avoid disaster, especially the monsters who have committed mistakes.

Half a year passed quickly. When the four demons realized that time had come and opened their eyes, Jiang Sheng was no longer in the cave. Only the green lotus that supported them on all four sides indicated Jiang Sheng's existence. "The time has come, so go do something."

"I'm watching you guys."

As Jiang Sheng's voice transmission faded, the four green lotuses also withered and disappeared without leaving any trace.

The four monsters looked at each other, and it was still the yellow rat who made the decision.

I only heard the yellow rat say: "We have no choice now, we can only do what that person said."

"That precious pill melts as soon as it enters my mouth. I can't detect any abnormality inside. I can't even expel it. Do you and I have any other options?"

The black bear demon's bear face was twisted into a ball: "That's Qingqiu."

The green snake said in a deep voice: "What's wrong with Qingqiu? You and I are demons, but we are not demons with Su?"

"Even if the Su clan has completely transformed into human form, wearing human clothing and following human etiquette, they are still monsters, no different from you and me."

"You and I, brothers, have survived death so many times to be where we are today, haven't we?"

"I have heard of that person's name. I heard that he controls the three disasters and can bring down the three disasters to destroy the enemy."

"I can't sense any changes in my consciousness, but I can sense the aura of disaster in my soul. The three disasters of you and me have been triggered. Even if we run, where can we run to?"

"Qingqiu will eliminate the disaster for you and me?"

"The treasures to avoid the three disasters are not enough for Qingqiu himself."

The green snake's words completely dispelled their thoughts of escaping.

After the four demons discussed it, they left the cave and headed straight for Qingqiu.

Along the way, the four demons tried their best to conceal their bodies and hide their tracks, sneaking all the way to the edge of Qingqiu.

Looking at the rolling hills and forests in the distance, the cities hidden in the mountains and forests, and the dazzling glazed formation barriers, the four demons secretly encouraged themselves, then each found a place and rushed straight there.

As a Pure Yang holy land, even if the Nine-tailed Great Sage did not show up, Qingqiu would still be as solid as a rock. The Su family cities scattered across the land of Qingqiu were all hubs of spiritual veins, connecting to the surrounding mountain veins and qi veins, with each city serving as a node, together forming Qingqiu's mountain protection formation.

If one wants to break into Qingqiu, one must face the entire earth veins and energy channels of the eastern region of Jurong Realm. If one is not careful, one will attract the backlash of heaven and earth, not to mention the billions of creatures living in the eastern region of Jurong Realm. If the earth veins collapse, they will have no way to survive. Who can take responsibility for this cause and effect?
In addition to the mountain protection formation, Qingqiu also has various large and small defensive formations, counterattack formations, detection formations, etc. The layers of formations are interlocked with each other and attached to the inside and outside of the mountain protection formation, forming a triple interlocking formation, which is extremely powerful.

Jiang Sheng knew very well that with the little power of the four demons, they could not affect the mountain protection formation at all, and could only affect the counterattack of a part of the formation in a local area.

And this is exactly Jiang Sheng’s purpose.

The four monsters attracted the attention of those who belonged to the Su family through their movements. As long as those who belonged to the Su family showed up and chased them out, the four monsters would scatter the Black Lotus Talismans they had bestowed upon them. The seeds of the Black Lotus plants on the Talismans would then attach themselves to those who belonged to the Su family and scatter among the mountains, rivers and waters of Qingqiu.

Given the status and grade of the Black Lotus, ordinary creatures would have no possibility of noticing it, but the Black Lotus seeds scattered throughout Qingqiu would become Jiang Sheng's eyes and ears, observing any movement in Qingqiu for him.

Even if they are brought into some forbidden secret areas, these black lotus seeds will instantly disintegrate and dissipate and will never attract any attention.

The Seven Wonderful Ink Lotus was a treasure of chaos that even Lord Xuan desired. How could the disciples of the Su family in Qingqiu perceive its magical powers?
Above the clouds, Jiang Sheng sat cross-legged on the cloud platform, quietly gazing at Qingqiu in the distance.

Not long after, demonic energy rose into the sky, wildly and agitated, and then a small formation in Qingqiu was triggered, and the colorful formation was activated, illuminating the world with colorful colors.

I saw four big monsters, the yellow rat, the green snake, the white wolf and the black bear, running rampant, plundering the Qingqiu area and looting all kinds of resources, having a great time.

Obviously, these four monsters also knew that after making this deal, they would never be able to return to Jurong Realm in the future, so it would be better for them to grab some money beforehand so that they can leave with some property and settle in other realms.

Jiang Sheng didn't care about this. The four demons could do whatever they wanted. As long as they could lure out some of the Su family's people, their goal would be achieved.

Soon, as the four monsters became more rampant, Su's Taoist soldiers were dispatched.

As Qingqiu is a pure yang holy land, the Taoist soldiers cultivated by the Su family are naturally different. The Su family’s green fox Taoist soldiers are the first class, followed by red fox Taoist soldiers, black fox Taoist soldiers, and gray fox Taoist soldiers.

At this time, Qingqiu dispatched the Red Fox Taoist soldiers.

Groups of red fox Taoist soldiers formed a formation and coordinated with the activated formations. In an instant, red flames covered the sky. In the red fire cloud covering a hundred thousand miles, the scorching fox fire rolled endlessly.

The fire of the red fox is scorching and illusory. It can burn thousands of lives and also arouse the desires of the mind.

The Taoist Red Fox soldiers formed a formation and gathered their strength to manifest the spirit of the red fox. Huge seven-tailed red foxes stood among the mountains, rivers and marshes of Qingqiu. Their seven tails burning with red flames swayed continuously, and they shot balls of red fox tail fire thousands of feet long towards the four monsters.

The four monsters immediately revealed their true forms: the yellow rat covered in thousands of wind and sand, the black bear as big as a black mountain and full of black wind, the white wolf with a silver body and leaping moonlight, and the green snake that coiled between the mountains and caused the poisonous mist of green bamboo.

The four great demons showed their true abilities. After all, they were also at the level of Lianxu Tao. The red fox phenomenon activated by the red fox Taoist soldiers was actually difficult to contend with in a short period of time.

Until this time, the royal family of Su clan in Qingqiu finally appeared.

"How dare you, a lowly monster like you, come to Qingqiu and act so recklessly?!"

With a cold shout, the poisonous yellow clouds that covered the sky were blown away by the breeze. The yellow sand that swept across the sky and the earth was strangled by seven huge fox tails. A seven-tailed fox with a completely white body revealed its true form and forced Huang Shu, the True Lord of Yellow Sand, to retreat again and again.

The white wolf mobilized the power of moonlight to go and provide support. A mark of seven tails appeared between the eyebrows of the seven-tailed fox, which mobilized a ray of heavenly fox spiritual light to shoot out and defeat the power of moonlight sprayed out by the white wolf.

The green snake and the black bear were blocked by another seven-tailed fox.

This time, Qingqiu only dispatched two seven-tailed foxes. Su Xue, Su Yue, and even Su Zhao, the core members of the clan, did not show up, but the four monsters were already overwhelmed.

The poisonous green bamboo fog spread for thousands of miles, and the fishy smell of black wind swept in all directions. The green snake and the black bear fought hard, but they were no match for the nine-tailed fox. The two monsters looked at each other, threw out a stack of talismans, and then turned and ran away.

At the same time, the white wolf and the yellow rat also threw out talismans and fled without looking back.

The two foxes were planning to chase after them, but they saw talismans flying all over the sky, creating a mirage scene, which caused the two powerful seven-tailed foxes to be stuck for a moment.

By the time the two foxes woke up, there was no trace of the four monsters.

The two foxes said a few words angrily and then turned back, but they did not notice that as the mirage disappeared, tiny black lotus seeds fell into their hair and disappeared among the mountains, rivers and swamps.

After the two foxes left and the formation lost its power, a delicate black lotus pushed up the ground in the mountains, rivers and lakes of Qingqiu, revealing a purse. (End of this chapter)
