Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

Emerging from the chaotic void?

Jiang Sheng hesitated for a moment. Although it seemed like he had nothing to do these days, he had actually been quite busy.

Whether it's refining a magical artifact or nurturing a magical sword, Jiang Sheng has to put in a great deal of effort. He can't entrust his own possessions to others. No matter how many resources he consumes or how much time he spends, he must refine this protective treasure properly.

The path of the Great Way is a struggle to cross the sea of ​​suffering. The Dharma is the boat to cross the sea, and the tools are the oars to propel the boat. Neither can be lacking.

Jiang Sheng is currently nurturing the Qingping Sword and the four swords of Zhulu Xianjue, and has no intention of leaving the Three Realms at this moment.

Seeing Jiang Sheng's hesitant expression, Ming Xian assumed that Jiang Sheng was worried about the situation in the Nine Provinces Realm and laughed, "What, do you think that Xuan Yi and the others can't handle the current situation in the Nine Provinces Realm?"

Jiang Sheng shook his head: "At the moment, the Nine Provinces Realm is just a contest of Void Refinement cultivators. There's nothing to worry about. With Brother Xuan Yi here, as well as Senior Sister Ling Yu and Ling Zhao, there won't be any problems on the Nine Provinces Realm side."

After a pause, Jiang Sheng continued, "To be honest, in my eyes, the Qiankun Dao Sect, the Yin Yang Orthodox Sect, and the Dao Yi Palace are all nothing but clay chickens and earthen dogs among our contemporaries."

Chickens and dogs!

This is Jiang Sheng's view on the Qiankun Dao Sect, the Yin Yang Orthodox Sect, and the contemporary true lineage of Dao Yi Palace.

Hearing Jiang Sheng's nonchalant words, even Ming Xian couldn't help but twitch her cheek.

Throughout the myriad realms, the Great Thousand World is nothing more than thirty-six directions. Whether it is the Qiankun Dao Sect, the Yin Yang Orthodox Sect, or the Dao Yi Palace, they are all pure Yang holy lands, each occupying a part of the Great Thousand World.

In Jiang Sheng's eyes, the chickens and dogs were the most outstanding talents who had emerged from the vast world over the past thousand years. Each one was an unparalleled prodigy, and each one was a contemporary hero carefully selected by the Taoist sect.

It can be said that every true disciple of the Daoist sect has fought their way out from among hundreds of millions of living beings.

In all the myriad realms, those who can achieve the upper three realms, even if it is only the lowest level of the Void Realm Dao Fruit, are still extraordinary in their luck and extraordinary in their encounters.
And which of the three realms isn't a legend?
Those who are chosen by the Xuanmen Holy Land to become true disciples start with the Cave God Dao Fruit, and most of those who grow to the Refinement Void level are Cave Profound Dao Fruit!

The Lesser Yang and Lesser Yin of the Yin-Yang Orthodox School, the Refining Sun and Gathering Moon of the Dao Yi Palace, and the Cold Origin, Questioning Origin, and Expecting Origin of the Qiankun Dao Sect—which one of them is not a Dongxuan Dao Fruit, which one of them is not a renowned existence throughout the myriad realms?

But in Jiang Sheng's eyes, these were all just ordinary chickens and dogs.

If someone else had said this, Mingxian would have thought that person was boastful and arrogant.

But the one who said this was Jiang Sheng, Penglai Lingyuan. The Dongxuan Dao Fruit who died under his sword was unknown. Five Dongxuan from the three great Xuanmen sects of Qiankun Daozong, Yinyang Zhengzong, and Daoyi Palace had fallen at Jiang Sheng's hands, including the Tianyun Qiyuan Zhenjun who was previously hailed as the leader of the contemporary Xuanmen. Not to mention that Jiang Sheng had single-handedly fought against more than ten Dongxuan in Buzhou Realm, making the Alliance of All Realms unable to breathe.

Therefore, Mingxian really had nothing to refute when Jiang Sheng said this. Mingxian knew that he could not do what Jiang Sheng did.

Looking at Jiang Sheng, who remained calm, Ming Xian couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Since the Qiankun Dao Sect, Dao Yi Palace, and Yin Yang Orthodox Sect are nothing but chickens and dogs in your eyes, what are you still worried about?"

Jiang Sheng chuckled and explained, "It's not that I'm worried, it's just that I happen to be nurturing my sword right now. Even if I went to the Chaos Void with you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to help much."

Upon hearing this, Mingxian breathed a sigh of relief: "I see, it's nothing serious."

“Lingyuan, I’m not afraid to tell you; the reason I invited you to come with me this time is not for a magical duel.”

"The Tianyuan Holy Sect will inevitably make its move in the Nine Provinces sooner or later. This trip is merely to see if one of my old friends is there, and also to make some preparations."

ready?

Jiang Sheng frowned slightly, then relaxed: "Brother Dao, are you preparing to enter the fray?"

Mingxian laughed and said, "That's right, I have already made a bet with Xuan Yi to see who can take down Dao Yi Palace or Yin Yang Orthodox Sect first."

“Since Xuan Yi has chosen Dao Yi Palace, I will definitely be in charge of the Yin Yang Orthodox Sect.”

"I'm not afraid of being laughed at by you, Lingyuan. It would be a lie to say that I'm absolutely confident of defeating those two from the Yin-Yang Orthodox Sect. Therefore, I need to retrieve something to deal with this bet."

Jiang Sheng suddenly realized: In all the myriad worlds, there are more than fifty Great Daos and more than three thousand Laws.

There are various great principles and laws, and all things naturally follow each other, with mutual generation and restraint.

For example, the Crested Ibis Demon Lord and the Nine-Phoenix Demon Lord, one in the Crimson Realm and the other in the Great Wilderness Realm, should have had no encounters with each other. Yet, only one of them could reach the end. This is the struggle of the path and the struggle of destiny.

When facing enemies on the path of cultivation, or opponents of fortune, it is perfectly normal to seek methods and magical artifacts to restrain them.

The Lesser Yin and Lesser Yang of the Yin-Yang Orthodox School practice the Way of Yin and Yang. Therefore, Mingxian needs supernatural powers or magic treasures that can restrain the two. However, Mingxian practices the Heavenly River Orthodox Method, which obviously lacks means to restrain the Yin-Yang method. Therefore, it is only natural for him to want to find more means.

Jiang Sheng was a little suspicious. What was it that the Tianhe Dao Sect did not have, and that was worth Ming Xian going deep into the chaotic void to find?
Seeing the doubt on Jiang Sheng's face, Ming Xian deliberately kept him in suspense: "I can't tell you what that thing is for now, but I promise that if I can get that thing and defeat Shao Yang and Shao Yin, and suppress Xuan Yi, I will give you half of the Taiyi Liujin Pill that I won from Xuan Yi, how about that?"

Taiyi Golden Elixir?!

Jiang Sheng knew this was a good thing.

Anything bearing the name Taiyi is an extremely precious elixir or immortal medicine in the three upper realms. This Taiyi Golden Pill is a precious medicine specifically for True Monarchs in the Integration Realm. Its purpose is to help True Monarchs in the Integration Realm overcome the Five Signs of Decay of Heaven and Man more quickly and stabilize their realm.

It can be said that every single Taiyi Liujin Pill is priceless.

This time, Mingxian's bet against Xuanyi on the Taiyi Liujin Pill was less about gambling and more about who could reach the Integration Realm first.

Looking at Mingxian's expectant expression, Jiang Sheng thought for a moment and nodded: "Since it is the Taiyi Liujin Pill, then I may go with you, fellow Daoist."

In the chaotic eastern region, two figures swiftly traversed the void.

These two figures possessed a pure and ethereal aura, like two bright stars dispelling the gloom in the chaos. Faced with their imposing power emanating from their bodies, anyone with a modicum of sense would keep their distance and dare not provoke them.

Because the aura revealed by these two figures was undoubtedly that of the Profound Dao Fruit!

With two Dao Fruit Realms experts, who would dare to provoke them easily?
These two figures were undoubtedly Jiang Sheng and Ming Xian. At this moment, Jiang Sheng and Ming Xian had already arrived in the Eastern Region. This Chaotic Eastern Region was mostly filled with Xuanmen Worlds, but apart from Xuanmen Worlds, the Chaotic Eastern Region was never short of desolate starfields, dark voids and collapsed spacetime gaps, and broken rivers of time.

The deeper one delves into the chaos, the more one can perceive that profound darkness and silent solitude.

This loneliness comes not only from the environment, but also from the chaotic void that has existed for countless millennia.

In this chaotic void that has survived countless calamities and left behind countless remnants, traces from ancient times can be seen almost every moment. It can be said that even the smallest remnant in this void may be a relic from hundreds of millions of years ago, and a grain of sand today may be a vast world from several eons ago.

However, with the passage of time, everything will turn into nothingness and dust.

Even the Pure Yang Dao Lord, as radiant as the sun, will eventually perish. In this chaotic void, what can endure forever?

Sensing the vastness of time and the emptiness of loneliness, Mingxian sighed softly for no apparent reason.

Under that faint, ancient, desolate, and boundless aura, not to mention Ming Xian, even those immortal lords who had lived through ten thousand years felt powerless and overwhelmed by the vastness of chaos.

An invisible, ancient loneliness enveloped Mingxian, constantly affecting his soul and Dao heart. Mingxian could sense this, but he couldn't defend against this intangible and intangible meaning. For a moment, Mingxian felt listless and only wanted to find a place to spend the rest of his life.

But when Mingxian turned to look at Jiang Sheng, he found that Jiang Sheng's expression was still calm, his eyes were clear and there was no sign of depression, as if this desolate and lonely void could not affect Jiang Sheng's Dao heart at all.

Seeing Mingxian looking at him, Jiang Sheng said softly, "When I went into the depths of chaos to search for the Mountain and Sea Realm before, I also went alone in this way."

"To be honest, I don't like crowds, so this quiet environment is more comfortable for me."

Mingxian was stunned. He had heard that Jiang Sheng was aloof and disliked extravagance, but in Mingxian’s mind, disliking extravagance meant being simple and natural. He never expected that Jiang Sheng had reached such a state.

However, as Jiang Sheng spoke, Ming Xian's sense of loneliness dissipated somewhat. He reaffirmed his resolve and then said to Jiang Sheng, "Between the two desolate star regions ahead lies a collapsed spacetime. It is said that this spacetime still retains the appearance it had hundreds of thousands of years ago, and the Tianyuan Sacred Sect's mountain gate is located in that collapsed spacetime."

"Lingyuan, be extremely careful here. These two desolate star regions haven't been cleared much because they don't involve our Xuanmen's main void routes. Who knows how many star beasts and wild beasts are hiding here? You could easily fall into danger if you're not careful."

Listening to Ming Xian's warning, Jiang Sheng's thoughts drifted back to his previous journey into the depths of chaos to search for the Mountain and Sea Realm. Back then, he had encountered an incomparably powerful wild beast.
Just as Jiang Sheng was pondering, a sudden surge of spiritual energy brought him back to his senses: "Brother Mingxian!"

Mingxian also sensed the fluctuation of spiritual energy and nodded: "Yes, I noticed it."

"Lingyuan, you stay in the shadows and cover for me. I'm going to check on things."

Jiang Sheng didn't say much, and his figure disappeared into the void.

As Jiang Sheng concealed his tracks, Ming Xian deliberately spread his divine sense, clearly revealing his presence.

Soon, the spiritual energy wave sensed Ming Xian's presence and charged straight towards them. In just a few moments, a huge, boundless black shadow appeared in front of Jiang Sheng and Ming Xian.

It was a colossal wild beast that stretched for millions of miles.

As soon as the beast appeared, it opened its mouth wide and charged at Mingxian, wanting to swallow him whole.

When Jiang Sheng saw the wild beast in front of him, he couldn't help but twitch. It wasn't that the beast was particularly strong, but rather that it was too unusual in appearance.

It can be said that there are not many bright places in the chaotic void. Most areas are either desolate star seas or barren and dark lands. The star beasts and wild beasts that grow up in these places can grow as they please, and they can grow into all sorts of shapes.

For example, the wild beast in front of us was as fat as a ball, yet it had four wings on its back, six legs, a large mouth, but no eyes or nose.
wrong!

Four wings and six legs, with a mouth but no eyes?!

A glint flashed in Jiang Sheng's eyes, and the Qingping Sword appeared in his palm in an instant.

With the black longsword in hand, Jiang Sheng activated his cultivation technique, and the intent of the Three Calamities and Annihilation, along with the breath of wind, thunder, water, and fire, manifested and then subsided into the sword. The seven blue lotuses that covered the black sword bloomed one after another, and the Heaven-Slaying Sword Intent burst forth, soaring into the sky!

Without any attempt to conceal his intentions, Jiang Sheng immediately unleashed a sword strike. The dazzling, heaven-splitting sword light roared forth, shattering the void and annihilating all laws.

As Jiang Sheng unleashed his sword strike, his telepathic message reached Ming Xian's ears: "That's not a wild beast, it's a Chaos Beast!"

Chaos Beast!
Mingxian stared at the enormous figure that opened its mouth to devour everything. At first, he was unsure of its origin, but after Jiang Sheng reminded him, the figure matched the description he had seen in the strange beast catalog of the Tianhe Dao Sect.

The Chaos Beast possesses a tough hide that can withstand swords, lightning, and fire, and can withstand the passage of time. It devours the sun and moon and consumes time itself, dwelling in chaos and upholding the balance of Yin and Yang.
Recalling the records of the Chaos Beast in the sect's biography, Mingxian almost subconsciously activated his divine power to unleash a streak of starlight.

This streak of starlight was not meant to repel the Chaos Beast; it was merely Ming Xian's way of buying himself time to maneuver.

As the galactic torrent crashed into the Chaos Beast's gaping maw, the scorching galactic flood, powerful enough to destroy an entire star field, surged and shattered the void for millions of miles around, triggering numerous terrifying aftershocks.

But as the galaxy dissipated, the Chaos Beast was completely unharmed. Its gaping mouth didn't even have a scratch. It still charged straight at Ming Xian. Its massive body, spanning millions of miles, shattered layers of space and trampled half of the desolate galaxy before biting down on Ming Xian and the surrounding million miles of space!
However, at that very moment, Jiang Sheng's sword arrived!
The Heaven-Slaying Sword Light roared in, and a mottled sword rainbow traversed the void. In an instant, the Heaven-Slaying Sword Light, which contained the intent of the Three Calamities and Annihilation, struck the Chaos Beast with the force of destroying all laws, just like a rainbow piercing the sun.

With a muffled boom, the Chaos Beast was caught off guard by the Heaven-Slaying Sword Light, and its huge, round body staggered and tumbled to one side.

As the Chaos Beast was blasted away by a single sword strike, another galaxy, like a long whip, shattered the void and ignited the eight million miles of desolate starry sky.

Although Jiang Sheng and Ming Xian had never worked together before, they displayed an incredibly tacit understanding in their first collaboration.

Whether it was Mingxian luring the enemy first, Jiang Sheng launching a surprise attack, or Mingxian seizing the opportunity to strike again, their methods were interlocked. The starlight whip that ignited the eight million miles of starry sky rushed over, unleashing endless brilliance and mystery. The scorching starlight whip landed on the Chaos Beast, causing it to stagger once more. At the same time, the starlight whip wrapped around the Chaos Beast, binding its four wings and six legs tightly.

As the starlight whip bound the Chaos Beast, Mingxian made a hand seal and used magic to completely transform the whip into a net. At the same time, Mingxian urgently shouted, "Lingyuan!"

Suddenly, the silent starry sea abruptly stopped, as if the light of the entire starry sea had been cut off for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling sword light leaped out of time and beyond, carrying with it the laws of the final calamity and the intent of destruction and ultimate return, landing on the Chaos Beast.
