Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

The sword light suddenly rose up to be as bright as the stars, and the five lights flew into the sky.

As Jiang Sheng pointed his sword, the Qingping Sword, the Zhulu Xianjue Sword and the other four swords all sank into the area where the spiritual veins converged. In the furnace formed by heaven and earth, a furnace of calamity fire burned fiercely, constantly tempering the sword edge and reforging the sword body.

On the top of Lushan Mountain, the rolling disaster spread over a million miles, and boundless thunder and fire poured down, turning the entire Lushan Mountain into a Shura purgatory.

Wind, thunder, water and fire are turbulently rotating, and the three disasters and catastrophes linger endlessly.

In the furnace of heaven and earth, the five swords seemed to be fading away.

This sword-forging furnace is an energy furnace formed by Jiang Sheng's combination of the essence of heaven and earth. It is fueled by the spiritual power of two immortal-level spiritual veins and the Taoism that Jiang Sheng has practiced throughout his life. It is used to forge his family's magic weapons. No matter what kind of magical things they are, they will eventually turn into ashes under the fire that will eventually cut off the fire.

But when forging one's own magic weapon, under the same source, one can temper it repeatedly and make the magic weapon reach a higher level.

However, in order to refine magic weapons, one must use natural treasures as sacrifices. Otherwise, simply calcining without any nourishment will only damage the spiritual charm of one's own magic weapon.

As for sacrifices, Jiang Sheng never lacked them.

Sitting on a small Penglai fairyland of 12 million miles, Jiang Sheng's treasury is filled with all kinds of natural treasures, not to mention that every sixty years, Penglai Taoist Sect will deposit a batch of fairy talismans, precious scrolls, elixirs and rare treasures in Jiang Sheng's name.

Add to that part of the resources from Dongdi Xuanzhou, Dongling Huazhou, and the resources from Pingxiangjie, and the treasure houses of some immortal sects may not have as many resources as Jiang Sheng.

However, those ordinary natural treasures were not in Jiang Sheng's eyes at this time.

With a slight movement of his sleeves, one broken magic weapon after another appeared around Jiang Sheng.

Among these broken magic weapons, there was a Kirin Purple Gold Crown that was almost broken in two with a crack, a Xing Luo Wan Zhen Suit that was missing many precious stars, a Tian Qi Luo Star Plate that was torn into pieces, and a Liu Yang Red Dragon Cover that had collapsed in half.
There was also the broken Void Flying Luan Bow, and the Fiery Sky Golden Halberd, which had a dim spirituality.
Qiyuan, Jinyu, Chipeng and other fallen Dongxuan who were defeated by Jiang Sheng, their magic weapons were all forged from the fortune of heaven and earth. Although they are now broken and have lost all their spiritual charm, their essence is still there. It is not a disgrace to these magic weapons to turn them into firewood now.

The fire transformed from the three disasters and the final catastrophe is the best way to remove the dross and retain the essence.

As these broken refining treasures were thrown into the baking furnace, one could see with the naked eye that these treasures gradually disintegrated as they were burned by the fire, leaving only tiny spots of glass light.

That is the essential essence of these true treasures of refining emptiness, the true meaning and Dao patterns left in the magic weapons by Qiyuan, Jinyu and Chipeng.

Now, Jiang Sheng will use the most essential essence of these true treasures of refining emptiness to nourish the four swords of Qingping Sword, Zhulu Xianjue Sword.

"Return to the origin and gather the truth, all things are one."

"Combining the creation of yin and yang, proving the brightness of the mysterious."

Jiang Sheng hummed softly, and the four swords, Qingping Sword, Zhulu and Xianjue, spontaneously absorbed the essential essence in the furnace to replenish the essence that had been lost in their bodies after tempering and forging.

As the five swords absorbed a lot of essential essences, the originally somewhat illusory five swords gradually stabilized, gradually turning from virtual to real, and gradually condensing into reality.

But one could see lines of Dao appearing on the sword, they were the green wind, red fire, purple thunder, and black water.

That is the wind of nothingness, that is the fire of darkness, that is the thunder of calamity.

Wind, thunder, water and fire arise, and the three disasters are reborn.

The five swords reshaped the Daohen sword edge, and a sense of sharpness and coldness arose spontaneously. In that instant, it seemed as if the void was shattered, the heaven and earth were annihilated, and a sense of the final destination of all things rose from the sword edge into the sky, as if it was going to overturn the cauldron and break through the void.

It seemed that the five swords had been forged successfully, but Jiang Sheng was very clear that the forging of the five swords had just begun.

Forging a sword and refining the skills are extremely time-consuming and require patience and perseverance. One must not be lazy, but also not be impatient or seek temporary success.

Jiang Sheng has always been a very patient person. He has been prepared to spend a hundred years or even longer to reforge the five swords. Anyway, he has plenty of time now.

If a hundred years is not enough, then two hundred years, three hundred years, or five hundred years.

During the calcination process, Jiang Sheng continuously took out rare treasures, including precious meteorite iron.

Gengjin Star Iron, Sun and Moon Copper, and all kinds of precious treasures were thrown into the fire by Jiang Sheng without blinking an eye, making the aura of the Five Swords more stable and clearer.

Don't be impatient or anxious, only when things come to fruition can you show your brilliance. Keep calm and concentrate, only when your mind is as calm as still water can you see the spirit of heaven and earth.

On the top of Lushan Mountain, thunder and fire from the sky and earth are pouring down, and strong winds and flowing lights are stirring the world.

The gods of the various sects in Qiyun Continent and the disciples on duty at Lushan Mountain watched helplessly as the boundless thunder and fire dominated the world for a hundred years, and watched as the gigantic gas furnace burned endlessly, continuously devouring the spiritual energy of the entire Lushan Mountain.

From the initial shock and fear, to admiration and yearning, and then to getting used to it.

Just when these cultivators were getting used to the surging thunder and fire on Lushan Mountain, and the strong winds and flowing lights that lingered around the world, suddenly a clear whistle sounded: "Open!"

In an instant, the roof of the huge thousand-foot gas furnace was blown open and overturned by the waterfall-like sword energy, and then the brilliant thunder poured down, splashing lightning and lightning, and attracting wind, thunder, water and fire in all directions.

The clear and turbid air condensed like a canopy swaying between the clouds, and the intention of three disasters and annihilation rose into the sky with the dazzling sword light. Five sword beams were seen scattered like five rainbows, and the sword light was cold and piercing, causing a brilliant sword chanting sound.

The boundless cold light cut through the sky and split the earth, shattering the void for millions of miles. Within a radius of three million miles between heaven and earth, all humans, gods, ghosts, immortals, demons and monsters were terrified and became uneasy. Within the territory of nearly ten million miles, all evil spirits were wiped out.

And throughout the Qiyun Continent, the Lianxu True Lords of Mingzhao Sect, Fangshan Sect, Danqing Sect, Liuyuan Sect, Shengyun Sect, and Qishan Sect seemed to have all sensed a bone-chilling sharp sword intent, and then they came out of retreat one by one in a hurry and looked up.

I saw a faint flash of sword light in the direction of Lushan Mountain.

The sword shines with a cold edge, and the cries of cranes and roars of dragons shake the sky.

"Return!"

With a light shout, Jiang Sheng's sword finger started the five swords to fight. The Qingping Sword, the Zhulu Xianjue Sword and the other four swords circled back and flew around Jiang Sheng, emitting bursts of joyful sword chants.

Jiang Shengxin grasped the Qingping Sword and slowly rubbed the blade. Seven green lotuses covered the three-finger-wide black sword body, leaving marks of sword cuts. Wind, thunder, water and fire entangled the sword pavilion, reflecting the Qingxuan lotus. The indigo hilt was adorned with a jade bead, emitting thousands of rays of light.

Although the Qingping Sword still had its original appearance, Jiang Sheng sensed a sharper sword intent and a brighter sword light on the black sword body. Even if Jiang Sheng did not add any means, he could still manifest the sword aura of the Three Disasters and Destruction.

This means that when Jiang Sheng holds the Qingping Sword, he will be able to attack the enemy faster and his sword moves will be more fierce.

Jiang Sheng danced with the sword with ease, feeling the sword blade tearing through the void and slashing the heaven and earth into chaos. He nodded with satisfaction: with the current grade of the Qingping Sword, he would no longer be as powerless as before when he used the Jie Sword Technique. It would take three sword strikes to cut off the golden feather of the Red Peng.

As for the four swords of slaughter and destruction, the marks of the three disasters and annihilation, wind, thunder, water and fire imprinted on them are far stronger than before.

Although the shape of the sword is the same as before, its quality has been improved by more than one level.

Don’t think that it is a real treasure of the Refinement Realm now, but even if it encounters a magic weapon of the Fusion Realm, it can still compete with it.

During the more than two hundred years, Jiang Sheng gained enlightenment through meditation and mastered sword-forging. He felt happy and with a wave of his hand, he drove away the thunder and fire in the sky and cleared the strong wind and clouds.

Looking at the origin of heaven and earth still lingering on the top of Lushan Mountain, Jiang Sheng withdrew his supernatural powers and let the origin of the spirit return to its place.

The spiritual veins of the two mountains have been consumed for a hundred years, and the damage to the two mountains is not small. It is time to let the spiritual veins slow down.

Draining the pond to catch fish is not the Taoist idea. The spiritual things of heaven and earth can be taken, but they cannot be exhausted. All things should leave a ray of life, which is in line with the natural way of heaven and earth and the principle of yin and yang of the Xuanmen. Putting away the Qingping Sword, Zhulu Xianjue Sword and the four swords, Jiang Sheng said loudly: "This time, refining the magic and forging the weapon, consuming the beauty of the spiritual veins of the two mountains, and exhausting the earth energy of Lushan, for the sake of one's own selfishness, this is not the right principle of Taoism."

"Now that I have succeeded in refining the art of casting, I should give back to this world."

"Where are the six elders?"

Hearing this, the six sects' incarnation elders came to their senses and hurriedly flew to Jiang Sheng's side.

Jiang Sheng looked at the six sects' incarnation elders and said gently, "You have worked hard to protect the surroundings this time. Now that this is over, you can enter the Lushan inner storehouse and choose a magic weapon, a treasure pill, or a cultivation method and supernatural power. Whatever you want."

When the six sects' Divine Transformation Elders heard about this opportunity, they all bowed in thanks: "Thank you, Master Zhenjun, for your generous reward."

Jiang Sheng chuckled and continued, "I said before that we should give back to this world. I have exhausted the spiritual veins of the two mountains and consumed the earth energy of Lushan. This cause and effect must be resolved."

"You shall take my talisman and take out tens of millions of spiritual stones from the inner storehouse of Lushan Mountain. Bury them in the spiritual veins to nourish the spiritual veins and Lushan Mountain."

"Go do something."

The six sects' incarnation elders hurriedly took orders and left.

Jiang Sheng naturally didn't need to personally handle such a small matter, otherwise what would be the use of these people?

After giving instructions for everything, Jiang Sheng returned to the Cloud Palace, burned incense, concentrated his mind, and meditated on the Dharma.

In the battle in Jurong Realm, Jiang Sheng gained a lot, especially the martial arts experience and natural treasures he got from the three Dongxuan. These things can be said to be of use to Jiang Sheng at the moment.

Especially the things obtained from Qiyuan. Qiyuan would not carry with him the skills such as Xuanyuan Jieyun Fa, but he did carry and record some of his experiences.

In addition, not to mention those elixirs and other rare treasures, the three magic weapons, Xuanyuan Vajra Bracelet, Thousand Star Treasure Gourd, and Lieyang Golden Hammer, can also be used by Jiang Sheng after he wiped out their spirituality and nurtured them again.

There is no one who does not lack the real treasures of the Lianxu realm.

Even Jiang Sheng, with the Xuanhuang Qi obtained from Jiang Sheng Dongzhen Dao Fruit, only refined seven magic weapons.

It's good to be able to get three more real treasures, even if their power is not as great as before.

Qiyuan’s magic weapons are not ordinary items. Each one of them is a rare and good thing. Jiang Sheng is reluctant to abandon them.

However, Jiang Sheng has been forging weapons for a hundred years, which has consumed a lot of his energy. He will not open the Heaven and Earth Qi Furnace again for those magic weapons in the short term.

"I have learned the profound method and recast the magic weapon. Next, I should practice the method and accumulate some immortal essence."

"The late stage of Void Refining is nothing but a thin layer of window paper to me. The foundation is enough to be broken at any time. Even if it is the extreme stage of Void Refining, there is no gap between them and me."

"Accumulating immortal affinity and regulating one's true nature is also a long and painstaking process. As there is still time, I will retreat to Lushan Mountain and wait for the Kaiyuan Patriarch to come out."

Jiang Sheng made up his mind and sat cross-legged in the depths of the Cloud Palace, planning to go into seclusion and wait for the return of Kaiyuan Daojun.

However, things did not go as planned. Jiang Sheng had only been in seclusion for a few years when a disciple came to report: "Master, someone from outside Lushan is visiting."

Jiang Sheng extended his spiritual sense and sensed who the person was. He frowned slightly and then ordered someone to lead him up the mountain.

Soon, the door of Luyun Fairy Palace opened, and a handsome Taoist in a white cap and white clothes walked in with a smile.

When he saw Jiang Sheng, the Taoist immediately smiled and said, "I wanted to visit the True Lord before, but unfortunately I missed him time and again."

"Now it has been my third visit to Lushan, and I finally met the True Lord. It was really not easy, really not easy."

Jiang Sheng looked at the person who came and said slowly: "Shao Bai Mingjun's words make me ashamed."

"I have heard that the Lord of Hell was coming to visit before, but unfortunately I had to go out for important matters. But since the Lord of Hell is coming again today, it is not a coincidence."

Shao Bai Mingjun was not annoyed when he heard this, and sat down cross-legged by himself: "I heard earlier that the True Lord displayed his divine power in Jurong Realm, defeating the Dongxuan of various realms, Qiyuan, Chipeng, and Jinyu, all fell under the True Lord's sword. Now the True Lord is famous in all the heavens and worlds. Who doesn't know the name of the True Lord of Dongtian Yuchen Lingyuan in the Three Realms?"

"I have some news. It is about a secret place with countless natural treasures. It can be called a treasure trove."

"It's a pity that it's really difficult for me to enter by myself. It's like looking at a treasure mountain in vain. It's really helpless."

"Thinking carefully, it is difficult for me to handle it alone. If I can find a famous fellow practitioner, maybe I can enter the treasure mountain and obtain the spiritual truth."

"What do you think, Master?"

Judging from what Shaobai Mingjun said, he actually wanted to go treasure hunting with Jiang Sheng.

Jiang Sheng pondered for a moment, then said: "Two hundred and seventeen years ago, a great sun appeared in the Primal Chaos Void, shining brightly on all realms. It was the fall of the Pure Yang, so its legacy was scattered across the realms."

"Does Lord Ming know about this?"

Shao Bai Mingjun nodded and said, "Donghua Lord of Jurong Realm, the Nine-tailed Great Sage of the Heart-confusing Illusion Wheel fell in the long river of time. This incident shocked the heavens and the myriad worlds. How could I not know about it?"

"I also know that it was the Mountain River Taoist, the Heavenly River Taoist Sect's Tongtian Kaiyuan Taoist who took action and killed the Nine-tailed Great Sage."

"Kaiyuan Daojun is truly worthy of being the best in upholding the Dao. He is truly admirable."

Jiang Sheng looked at Shaobai Mingjun: "Since Mingjun knows that Kaiyuan Daojun has returned after defeating the calamity, why dare he stay in Tianyuan Realm for a long time?"

Shao Bai Mingjun smiled and said, "I have no grudges against the Mountain River Taoist School or the Sky River Taoist Sect. Even if that Taoist wants to cleanse the universe, what does it have to do with me?"

"I know what you mean. You just think I am playing with fire and getting burned. But do you really know where I am going?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Sheng and Shaobai Mingjun looked at each other in Luyun Fairy Palace, and there was a faint sound of thunder between their words.

The wind was blowing, the lightning was thundering.

The silent confrontation between the two True Lords of Lianxu caused the wind and clouds on the top of Lushan Mountain to change color. Rolling thunderclouds covered the sky, making it dull and depressing.

After a long while, Jiang Sheng shook his head: "I have seen Lord Ming's sincerity, but I have no intention of leaving home now. I just want to practice in peace in Lushan Mountain and wait for the right time to return to the Three Realms."

Shao Bai Mingjun smiled upon hearing this and said, "True Lord, I believe what you said is true, but if you really don't want to hear it, where is the place I am talking about?"

Jiang Sheng frowned slightly, and Shao Bai Mingjun continued:
"Now the Three Realms shine brightly across the universe, and the three paths of immortals, gods and Buddhas spread far and wide across the universe."

“When you mention Taoism, you think of the mysterious gate of mountains and rivers; when you mention Buddhism, you think of the thundering sound of the endless sands.”

"Speaking of the way of gods, do you know that there is more than just one Panfeng?" (End of this chapter)
