Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

Yanzhou.

Jiang Sheng returned to Yingzhou from Yanzhou, and saw mountains of corpses and seas of blood along the way, which was like purgatory on earth.

Outside the battlefield where the Buddhists and the demons were fighting, an old man and a young man were struggling to support each other and escape into the distance.

At this time, the ground was full of mud and dirt, and thousands of monster birds were flying in the sky.

After forty-nine days of fierce fighting, the Heavenly Demon Palace defeated the Buddhist sect.

Today, Yanzhou has become a paradise for the demon race.

Even though the big demons had no intention of attacking those weak mortals, the two sides fought without any scruples and both fought with all their strength.

For example, the fierce battle between Kong Zhen and Jin Qiong on the one hand, and Fa Kong and Fa Zhen on the other. The four Taiyi Yuanshen could travel thousands of miles with a single thought. The forty-nine-day battle affected an area of ​​millions of miles. It was more than just one city or one country that was destroyed.
Be it Yanzhou, Jukuzhou, or even Xuanzhou, it is not a paradise for humanity at the moment.

Jiang Sheng had already understood this, but he couldn't help but frown when he saw the old man and the young boy being stopped by a little demon.

They were a grandfather and his granddaughter. The grandfather was obviously very old, but he was still struggling to protect the dirty little granddaughter behind him.

The little demon, who was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, had a grim smile on his face, as if he regarded the grandfather and grandson as his snacks.

"Don't struggle. The world is like this. Even if you two can escape from me, there are millions of miles ahead of you. There are countless monsters and demons along the way. Why bother running all the way to die?"

"Just stay here and I promise to give you a quick death."

Hearing the monster say this, the old man's skinny body couldn't help but tremble, and tears streamed down his face: "What kind of world is this? What kind of world is this?"

The little granddaughter hiding behind the old man also lowered her head silently, seeming to be sobbing softly.

Humans are not plants or trees. Who can truly remain indifferent in the face of life and death?
Seeing that the grandfather and grandson seemed to have given up resistance, the little foundation-building demon could not help but nodded with satisfaction: "That's it."

"According to what the monks said, if you let me eat, it means I will suffer in this life and enjoy happiness in the next life. There will be blessings in the future."

The old man didn't say anything, but the little granddaughter couldn't help crying: "What good fortune can there be if we are eaten by monsters?"

"Where are the gods who save people from suffering? Grandpa, where are the gods who save people from suffering?"

"Why have I only seen monsters and no gods since I was born?"

The old man opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer. He had only lived for seventy years, which made him considered a blessed man.

But mortals are mortals. Without the Dharma and without practice, they will never know about the affairs of immortals in their entire life.

He had seen the small temple in the village, he had seen the statues of gods in the county town, he had even seen the sky darken, the sky was filled with endless starlight, and a large number of stars fell from the sky like rain.

But after that, the gods disappeared.

The little demon didn't care about the reactions of the grandfather and grandson. He was just a little demon in the foundation-building stage.

In front of mortals and in some remote places, he can certainly show off his might, but looking at the entire Yanzhou, in the army of the Heavenly Demon Palace where the Divine Demon Kings are everywhere and the Nascent Soul demons are no better than dogs, he is not even a cannon fodder.

It was a blessing from God that he could pick up two mortals to have some meat with at this time.

However, the next moment, a streak of light fell from the sky, and the little foundation-building demon turned into ashes before it could even enjoy its blood meal, leaving the grandfather and grandson standing there in a daze, not knowing what had happened.

Jiang Sheng sighed. He considered himself a calm person.

In the past, when he was only in the Purple Mansion realm, he could ignore the river god's flooding of the six towns just for a chance to slay a demon.

But for some reason, the higher the level of cultivation and the deeper the Tao, the harder it is to remain indifferent to the common feelings of this world.

The grandfather and grandson watched the terrible monster turn into ashes, and then watched a handsome and elegant Taoist figure appear in front of them. For a moment, they were stunned.

"immortal?!"

"Are you a deity?!"

Jiang Sheng had a heavenly appearance and an extraordinary temperament. He looked like a banished immortal standing there. The little granddaughter had never seen such a handsome man.

The little granddaughter was famous for her beauty in the surrounding area, and the villagers said that she would grow up to be a great beauty. But after the little granddaughter saw Jiang Sheng, she felt inferior.

The little granddaughter didn’t know what it meant to feel ashamed of herself. She only knew that the Taoist in front of her was handsome and had an extraordinary temperament, like an immortal.

The old man didn’t know whether Jiang Sheng was an immortal or not. Even if he wasn’t, the old man was sure that Jiang Sheng was a wizard with superb Taoist skills.

Because the old man discovered that since Jiang Sheng appeared, the monsters that covered the sky and the sun seemed to have disappeared, and the area within a radius of ten miles seemed to have become quiet.

The old man didn’t know that it wasn’t just the sky, nor was it just the ten miles around.

With Jiang Sheng appearing at the center, all the monsters within a radius of ten thousand miles retreated.

If you look from the sky, you will find that a large number of monsters are surging in all directions like a tide, leaving behind a large empty area.

The old man didn’t know how high Jiang Sheng’s cultivation level was, nor did he know whether Jiang Sheng was a god. He only knew that after Jiang Sheng appeared, his little granddaughter seemed to be saved.

The old man kept bowing and said, "Thank you, immortal, for saving us. Thank you, immortal, for saving us."

Jiang Sheng shook his head: "It can't be considered saving you, I just did it for the sake of convenience, you can go now."

Seeing Jiang Sheng was about to leave, the old man immediately knelt down, his head stuck in the mud and he dared not look up: "Immortal, immortal, please save this little girl, she is still young, she has not grown up yet, I am old and useless, but she is still young."

As he spoke, the old man pulled his granddaughter to kneel down.

But the little granddaughter was holding on and didn't kneel. She just looked at Jiang Sheng timidly, a little afraid, and a little stubborn: "Grandpa, I won't kneel!"

The old man was afraid that Jiang Sheng would be angry, so he quickly pulled his granddaughter and said, "Nizi, don't be silly!"

The little granddaughter was still stubborn: "I didn't do anything wrong, Grandpa, there are no gods in the world anymore!"

"If there really are gods, why are all the uncles and aunts in our village dead?"

"If there really are gods, why would people from all over the country flee for their lives?"

"If there really are gods, why are there so many monsters in heaven and on earth, and no one cares about them?"

"Grandpa, there are no more gods in this world!"

The old man knelt on the ground in a daze.

The face that was as thin as tree bark was already full of tears: "But, but grandpa really saw a fairy before."

Jiang Sheng was not angry. He was in a rather strange mood. Looking at the grandfather and grandson in front of him, Jiang Sheng couldn't help but think of the Shinto seniors he had met before.

The God Mingyu who fell from the sky, the emperor who died unjustly in prison, and the supreme and holy Emperor Donghua of Qianyang.

Shinto, in charge of destiny, acts on behalf of heaven's will, performs divine duties and brings peace to the three realms.

The existence of Shinto is to protect all living beings.

There are small temples in villages, city gods in counties, mountain gods in mountains, and river gods in rivers.
It governs the human world and ensures good weather and good harvests.

Jiang Sheng had not seen many gods from the Mountain and River Realm, and he had also never met many gods from the Panfeng Realm. But after looking at the continents and seas of the Mountain and River Realm, and then looking at the various places in the Panfeng Realm, Jiang Sheng suddenly discovered that there was always a crack in his seemingly perfect state of mind.

That is, Jiang Sheng has never truly experienced the world and has never truly experienced the human world.

Even though he had been in the secular world for many years, either cultivating in the mountains or fighting magic everywhere, he had never personally experienced or comprehended what humanity really was, or what the experiences of all human beings were.

Jiang Sheng's cultivation level is so high that he seems unable to see the various aspects of the world.

With such a self, can I really see through illusions and enter the realm of Taiyi Dongxuan?
Jiang Sheng questioned himself for a long time, then looked at the grandfather and grandson in front of him: "Girl, do you want to save people?"

The little granddaughter was stunned for a moment, and finally nodded solemnly:

"I want to." (End of this chapter)
