Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

I was so immersed in the performance that I didn't know how much time had passed, and suddenly I found myself in Penglai.

This feeling made Jiang Sheng feel quite mysterious for a moment, and he couldn't help but savor it.

After a long time, Jiang Sheng stood up and looked at the Xuanqing Palace.

Stepping on the slightly cool yet warm green jade, looking at the spotless hall, Jiang Sheng suddenly chuckled. It has been a long time since he came back, but all the objects and furnishings in the hall are still the same as before. This makes Jiang Sheng very satisfied. After all, Jiang Sheng is actually nostalgic.

As he walked forward, he sensed a familiar atmosphere in the hall, and knew that the master had returned, so he reacted.

With each step Jiang Sheng took, the red bronze and jade lamps on both sides that looked like cranes holding candles lit up immediately, and the flowing gauze curtains that were made of snow-white silk and interlaced with gold and silver threads, depicting the scenery of the four seasons, slowly gathered, revealing a straight path made of gold and jade that led directly to the inner hall.

Green smoke rose slowly from the incense burners of Boshan Mountain, condensing into cloud arches; on the murals on both sides, the fairies, celestial beings, spirit beasts and birds engraved with playing in the garden walked down the murals, along the cloud arches to stand under the green beams and columns that formed a pattern of coiled dragons and intricate jade.

On the screen and painted fan, female musicians played the celestial music of stringed instruments. Every step Jiang Sheng took was accompanied by the crisp sound of chimes. Standing under the beams, fairy birds bowed their heads, spirit beasts prostrated themselves, and fairies and celestial maidens all bowed their heads to welcome the master of the Xuanqing Palace, the True Lord of Little Penglai.

When Jiang Sheng came to the inner hall along the road made of gold and jade, the cloud curtain that looked like flowing clouds and mist spread out, revealing the black gold and emerald jade flying cloud bed inside.

With a slight dodging, Jiang Sheng was already sitting cross-legged on the cloud bed. He closed his eyes and sensed his body. His sea of ​​consciousness was clear, his purple palace was transparent, his dantian was full, and his internal organs were nourishing their own spirituality.

As the magical method of Yin Yang, Three Transformations and Five Elements was put into operation, the essence and spirit penetrated through the orifices and transformed into three flowers on the top of the head, circling endlessly.

Jiang Sheng closed his eyes slightly, sitting cross-legged on the cloud bed. His thoughts moved slightly, and the cloud curtains covered the room again. The golden and jade road became darker and darker, and the light of the sparrow and jade lamps became uncertain. The immortals, celestial maidens, and immortal birds and beasts returned to the painted wall, leaving only the fairy music of stringed instruments and the elegant sandalwood, lingering in the hall as lingering sounds.

For a moment, the lights in the Xuanqing Palace flickered like stars. Jiang Sheng was lying between the cloud bed and curtains, silently reciting the magic spell, practicing the true scriptures, and pushing his own achievements towards the ultimate state of refining emptiness bit by bit.

Before going to the Tianyuan Realm, Jiang Sheng had already reached the middle stage of the Refining Void Realm. After experiencing successive battles in the Tianyuan Realm, Jurong Realm, and Buzhou Realm, and receiving instruction from four ancestors, the barrier between Jiang Sheng and the late stage of the Refining Void Realm is like a bubble that will burst with a single poke.

Now Jiang Sheng only needs to refine the abundant Yuan Ji in his body and condense his own immortal source, and he will reach the late stage of Refining Void in a moment; but Jiang Sheng does not want to just reach the late stage of Refining Void, he wants to take this opportunity, relying on his previous accumulation and his own foundation, to cross the chasm in one step and reach the extreme state of Refining Void.

The difference between the late stage of refining emptiness and the extreme stage of refining emptiness is not just the depth of Taoism and the amount of immortal source.

The most crucial thing is the distance between Lianxu Daoxing and the fusion state after he has passed the three disasters, or the extent of his understanding of the fusion state.

The so-called ultimate state of refining the void means that after having overcome the three disasters and achieved the state of three flowers gathering at the top of the head, one's own Taoism is already sufficient and has a clear understanding of the state of fusion. One only needs to take the final step to cross that barrier.

This kind of practice is called the ultimate realm.

For a Lianxu immortal, it takes at least seven or eight hundred years of hard work to achieve the Taiyi Dao Fruit, break through the Lianxu realm, and then gain a firm foothold in the Lianxu realm and consolidate his realm. It takes three to five hundred years to achieve the Dongxu and Dongshen Dao Fruits, and another three to five hundred years to achieve the Dongxuan Dao Fruit.

From the early stage of refining emptiness, to the middle and late stages of refining emptiness, and then to the ultimate state, this is three thousand years.

In three thousand years, the world has undergone tremendous changes. Even for Master Lianxu, three thousand years is a long time.

But Jiang Sheng doesn't need it.

It took Jiang Sheng four hundred years to go from the initial stage of refining emptiness to the middle stage of refining emptiness, and five hundred years was enough for Jiang Sheng to go from the middle stage of refining emptiness to the ultimate stage of refining emptiness.

Five hundred years later, the one who walked out of this small Penglai fairyland was Yuchen Lingyuan Zhenjun who had reached the highest level of refining emptiness.

In the Three Realms, there is a small Penglai, where Dao fruit is refined in the Xuanqing Palace. In the Nine Provinces of Xuanmen, Yinqiu of Yangzhou worships the gods.

While Jiang Sheng was practicing alchemy in his own Taoist temple, far away in the chaotic east of the Jiuzhou Realm, in Yangzhou, the people of the Yinqiu Kingdom were holding a grand sacrifice.

However, unlike the previous sacrifices to demons, gods and ghosts, this sacrifice was to inform the heavens and the earth.

Standing on the hundred-foot-high jade platform in the capital, Wu Tang looked at the solemn sacrificial dance of the people, and looked to his side with some uncertainty. The guards around Wu Tang could not see it, but Wu Tang could see that the Xuanniao God, who had saved the country of Yinqiu and prevented Yinqiu from being bullied by the python demon god, was right next to him.

This Xuanniao God not only killed the python-transforming demon god and saved the Yinqiu Kingdom, but also taught Wu Tang a heavenly book.

The Heavenly Book contains not only the methods of sacrifice to respect heaven and earth and honor the gods, but also the methods of cultivation, battle formations, body training, weapon forging, farming and animal husbandry, etc.

It can be said that this volume of heavenly book includes wonderful methods on how to cultivate spiritual fields, grow spiritual rice, raise spiritual beasts, forge magical instruments, train Taoist soldiers and even practice, etc., which are enough to enable a country in the barbaric era to possess the power to conquer all directions at the fastest speed.

However, only Wu Tang himself could see this heavenly book. Neither his generals, ministers, nor his descendants could see this heavenly book.

This made Wu Tang worried: If he was alive, he could certainly use the Heavenly Book to make Yinqiu strong, but what if he died?

What should the country of Yinqiu do then?
Thinking about the words of the Black Bird God, Wu Tang couldn't help but ask: "God, you said that Tang was blessed by the gods because he had received the mandate of heaven. But if Tang returned to the embrace of his ancestors, would the Yinqiu Kingdom still be blessed by the gods?"

The cold and noble Black Bird God said calmly: "Wu Tang, don't worry."

"You are a person favored by the Emperor of Heaven and can be the Son of Heaven. As the Son of Heaven, the Yinqiu Kingdom you rule must unify Yangzhou, and then expand the territory to include the nine states."

"The destiny that conforms to human nature and is manifested by the will of heaven is your destiny and also your result."

"Therefore, you will not die, and the country of Yinqiu will not perish until you fulfill your destiny."

"Even if this destiny is fulfilled, as long as the rulers of Yinqiu of all generations still respect heaven and earth and worship the gods, then the destiny will not dissipate, and the country of Yinqiu will continue to exist."

"This is the promise I made to you on behalf of the Emperor of Heaven, Wu Tang, do you understand?"

God!

Wu Tang was shocked. He had never thought that he would get the attention of the Emperor of Heaven, let alone that the Emperor of Heaven would pay attention to the small and weak Yinqiu Kingdom in the vast Yangzhou.

Why did the Emperor of Heaven favor me and the country of Yinqiu?
Wu Tang couldn't figure it out, but he knew that from today on, the country of Yinqiu would be completely transformed.

Looking at the people who were offering sacrifices to heaven and earth again, Wu Tang was resolute and said solemnly: "Please rest assured, God, I will use the teachings of the Heavenly Book to train the people of Yinqiu and forge them into an extremely powerful Taoist army to sweep across Yangzhou."

The Black Bird God nodded slightly: "That's right."

"Don't worry, Wu Tang. If there is something you can't do, there will be gods and immortals to help you."

"This is your destiny. No one can stop it, and no one dares to stop it." (End of this chapter)
