Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

To the north are the mountains and the Nine Phases Sect of Tianming.

As the largest sect in Beiyanzhou and also the first holy place of the side sect in Pingxiangjie, Jiuxiang Sect has always been proud, and the disciples of Jiuxiang Sect are also very arrogant outside.

But all the pride was shattered today.

The foundation of the Jiuxiang Sect, the jade statue of Zhenjun standing in front of the Jiuxiang Sect's main hall, collapsed!
The jade statue shattered, representing that Master Zhanfa, the supporter and ancestor of the Jiuxiang Sect, had passed away.

A true master fell!
Such things would be earth-shattering in a large world, let alone in an ordinary world like the Pingxiang Realm? !

After all, there are only three True Lords in the entire Pingxiang Realm.

With the death of Master Zhanfa, the entire Jiuxiang Sect instantly fell into panic.

In the past, the Jiuxiang Sect relied on the support of the True Lord to bully others in Beiyanzhou. It destroyed countless small sects and robbed countless resources and lands.

Now that Master Zhanfa has passed away, won’t the Jiuxiang Sect be besieged and attacked by everyone?

In fact, if Mo Daotian, the Dharma Master, was still alive, the Jiuxiang Sect would not have fallen into complete chaos.

However, Mo Daotian, the leader of the Dharma Appearance Sect, was nowhere to be found, and the Zhong family, a branch of the Nine Appearance Sect, was unable to step forward either. Now that the two Dharma Appearance True Persons had shown up, the master-disciple and disciple faction as well as the sect's faction became even more panicked.

When Ying Liu arrived at Jiu Xiang Sect, everyone in the sect was already in a panic. But the sect's reputation was still there, and there were so many important figures in it, so it did not fall apart.

At this time, all the elders of Jiuxiang Sect, including the master-disciple system, the sect system, and the family system except the Zhong family, gathered in the sect master's hall to discuss the future of Jiuxiang Sect and whether they should split up to avoid disaster or unite to protect resources.

The death of Master Zhanfa could not be covered up. The stars in the sky fell like rain, and a bright star suddenly shattered. Anyone could guess what happened.

When they thought about the possibility of facing chaos in the entire Beiyan Continent, the remaining high-ranking officials of the Jiuxiang Sect felt a headache and didn't know what to do.

"The True Lord is not here, the Sect Master is not here, and the Zhong Family Master is not here either! If we cause chaos again, the entire Nine Phase Sect will fall apart!"

"The Jiuxiang Sect cannot be disbanded. Once the Jiuxiang Sect is disbanded, all places will rise up to attack us, and we will surely die without a burial place! Don't forget how many resources we have taken and how much blessed land we have robbed over the years!"

"But now that the True Lord is not here, and neither is the Dharmakāya, what else can we do? Defend the Nine Phases Sect's mountain gate to the death?"

Everyone was arguing non-stop, causing Ying Liu, who was outside the sect master's hall, to frown.

With a cold snort, Ying Liu flicked her sleeves and the tall and heavy door of the sect master's hall flew into the hall.

boom!
With a heavy muffled sound, the hall began to shake. All the real people looked at the newcomer in astonishment, not knowing what had happened.

"A swarm of ants!"

Ying Liu looked at these cultivators who were only at the Nascent Soul stage with disgust.

In front of Jiang Sheng, she was humble and reasonable, but in front of these ants, Ying Liu didn't need to hide her true nature at all.

An elder saw Ying Liu's contemptuous and disgusted expression and couldn't help but step forward and asked: "Who are you?"

Before he finished speaking, Ying Liu waved her sleeves again, and an invisible wind blew across the hall. All the monks in the hall showed expressions of horror, and then their flesh and blood melted away, leaving only white bones.

Ever since Ying Liu stabbed Master Wuxiang in the back, she has been out there for all these years, so how could she be a kind-hearted person?

If she hadn't resorted to some cruel tactics, would she have been able to get to where she is today?
Although she looks like a gentle and elegant Taoist master, in fact, Ying Liu is as ruthless as Zhan Fa, and may even be stronger.

Taking out a handkerchief from her sleeve and wiping her hands, Ying Liu walked leisurely among the bones, then passed through the main hall and came to the back mountain of Jiuxiang Sect.

After careful perception, Yingliu found the location of Zhanfa's secret cave.

"Brother, Brother, you are still using the formation method that Master taught us. I didn't expect you to be nostalgic."

"That's good, it saves me some effort."

Yingliu took out the formation plate with a smile, and using her magic power, a ray of yin and yang light sank into the mountain in front of her. Then Yingliu quickly made a hand gesture and broke the formation left by Master Zhanfa.

They are from the same master, and although they practice different techniques, their basic skills are the same. Others may have trouble using this formation, but for Ying Liu, it is very familiar to him.

As the formation was broken, a passage appeared between the overlapping mountain walls at the back mountain.

Through the passage, you can see a rippling lake and a small island.

That is the True Lord Cave Heaven of True Lord Zhanfa, and also the secret place of Jiuxiang Sect.

Ying Liu stepped into the passage, and with a dizzying sensation, she appeared in the cave of Master Zhanfa.

One can see the wind blowing, the clouds moving, the water rippling, in the clear sky and fresh air in the cave, the vast water waves spreading in all directions, there is only a small island in the middle, on which there are only a few bamboo forests, pine trees, a thatched cottage, and an alchemy furnace.

Changyan Zhenjun's cave heaven is the embodiment of his ideas and Taoism, and is the inner scene transformed by his practice.

Just by looking at this cave, one can guess something about Master Zhanfa's state of mind.

When Ying Liu saw this, he couldn't help but sneer: "You have betrayed your master and disciple, killed your master and destroyed the way, and you still want to return to your original state and become the Pure True Lord?"

The figure gradually landed on the island. Yingliu glanced at the alchemy furnace and could sense the remaining resentment and a faint smell of blood on it.

It looks like an ancient bronze furnace, but what is refined in this furnace is the elixir of life.

In this elegant and quiet Taoist temple, there stands an alchemy furnace with blood stains inside, which is enough to reflect the inner distortion of Master Zhanfa.

"From afar, I see clouds and wild cranes roaming the grass; from near, I see demons and devils worshipping in temples."

"This alchemy furnace alone has exposed all of your false arrangements, brother."

"What about clear skies, still waters, green bamboos, pines and cypresses, and tranquility? They are nothing but evil winds and evil spirits shining on the world, and corpses and bones forming Buddhist temples."

"Brother, brother, you are still like this, so shy."

As Yingliu spoke, she walked into the thatched cottage. What caught her eye were neatly arranged volumes of scriptures, including Buddhist volumes, Taoist classics, and Shinto magic.

In addition to the neatly arranged scriptures, there were also many broken pages scattered around.

Ying Liu picked up a page at random, on which was written all the insights and practical experiences that Master Zhanfa had put forward on cracking the gaps in the invisible secrets of yin and yang. For three thousand years, Master Zhanfa had used generations of talented disciples of the Jiuxiang Sect to continuously experiment, looking for possibilities to make up for the gaps in the practice.

Now these things are cheap for Yingliu.

But Ying Liu didn’t care about all this, as she was about to get the "Invisible Secret Treasure of Yin and Yang".

By then, when the "Invisible Secret Treasure of Yin and Yang" and the "Yin and Yang Rotating Sutra" are combined, Master Wuxiang's "Invisible Secret Treasure of Yin and Yang Rotating" will reappear in the light of day. What use will she still need these?

Yingliu kept searching in the thatched cottage, looking left and right, and her patience was unknowingly running out.

Yingliu searched the entire thatched cottage, even the alchemy furnace, and the entire island was plowed by her, but Yingliu found nothing!
"Damn it! Damn it!"

Unconsciously, the confidence and leisure on Ying Ling's face turned into impatience and even a bit of sinisterness.

The green bamboos, pines and cypresses on the island fell to the ground, and the ground was full of potholes as if it had been plowed over and over again by something. The whole island was in a mess.

"Where did he put the Yin-Yang Invisible Secret Treasure?!"

Ying Liu's hands hidden in her sleeves were tightly clenched. She was about to obtain the skills to make up for the deficiency, but the result was nothing but illusion. How could she not be annoyed and angry? !

"damn it!"

"That old Wuxiang humiliated and bullied me, and even you didn't think of helping me in the end, but hurt me instead!"

"Damn it! Damn it all!"

As Ying Ling spoke, she casually smashed Master Zhanfa's alchemy furnace into pieces.

Along with the dull sound of metal roaring, the alchemy furnace instantly shattered into pieces. As the pieces of the furnace fragments flew everywhere, the spiritual plants that had fallen to the ground on the island were destroyed once again.

"Fellow Daoist, you have been searching for so long, haven't you discovered that the invisible secret treasure of Yin and Yang is right before your eyes?"

A cold and indifferent voice sounded behind Ying Ling.

Ying Liu suddenly turned around, her body did not move, but her head turned directly behind her, her eyes looked at the person who came ferociously: "It turns out that you hid the things!"

Jiang Sheng shook his head, pointed to the sky, then to the water, then stretched out his hands. As streams of green magic power flowed, myriad clouds in the sky were reflected on the water waves, transforming into true words.

"Yin and Yang are the transformation of the invisible and formless, and the reversal of the visible and formful."

"Transform the spirit of the sun and the moon, and combine the mirror of water and fire"

"Things with form and substance are nothing, while things without form and substance are something"

Lines of mantras appeared, causing Ying Liu to widen her eyes. "The mantra of the secret of Yin and Yang?!"

Jiang Sheng said slowly: "The moment Daoist Fellow Ying Liu deliberately revealed his aura, I guessed Daoist Fellow's intention."

"Although you are trying to hide it, Daoist friend, are you really not aware of your own aura?"

"I can clearly distinguish between the pure and spiritual energy of Taoism and the filthy energy of evil ways."

Ying Liu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Master, you are from the orthodox sect of Xuanmen. You can tell at a glance that you have an extraordinary background. You have lacked nothing since you were young. You have all the skills and resources, and the magic weapons of your teachers."

"When faced with disasters and difficulties, they have the confidence of a backer. How could they understand our suffering?"

Jiang Sheng's expression remained unchanged: "Suffering?"

"Whether you or Zhan Fa, both of you have the support of your master. With your talents and abilities, you have achieved the Dao Fruit of the True Lord. You must have been gifted since childhood. How could the sect not allocate resources to you? How could the master not devote his efforts to you?"

"You have grown to this day, do you dare to say that you didn't have the help of the sect?"

Ying Liu sneered, "That was in the past!"

"Ever since Zhan Fa and I became Wu Xiang's disciples, when has he ever been nice to us?"

"He beats and scolds us at every turn, bullies us at every turn, and mercilessly belittles us if he is not satisfied. When has he ever considered us his disciples?"

Seeing Ying Ling's undisguised disgust and hatred for Wu Xiang Zhen Jun, Jiang Sheng asked, "But didn't your master pass on the inheritance to you?"

It would have been better if Ying Ling didn't listen. After hearing it, she became even angrier: "That's fake! It's crippled!"

"He divided the inheritance into two parts, giving them to me and Zhan Fa respectively, and asked us to practice half of the sutras. He was suspicious of us and did not dare to let us learn the entire sutra, fearing that we would surpass him and no longer respect him."

"He even deliberately left flaws in the technique, making our practice more difficult and even causing losses!"

"With this kind of behavior, is he still a master? Should I still thank him?"

Jiang Sheng sighed lightly, and the Qingping Sword appeared in his hand.

As Jiang Sheng grasped the indigo hilt, wind and thunder gradually lingered on the black sword body, and water and fire appeared.

Sensing the majestic aura rising from Jiang Sheng's body and the calamity on the black sword, Ying Liu's face turned pale.

She is absolutely no match for Jiang Sheng.

"Those who betray their teachers and ancestors are deeply trapped in the devil's barrier without knowing it. I will do my best to send you to reincarnation."

After Jiang Sheng finished speaking, the energy of wind, thunder, water and fire on the Qingping Sword suddenly converged into the sword body.

At the same time, the seven green lotuses covering the black sword body blossomed, accompanied by the sounds of cranes crying and dragons roaring. A mottled sword light appeared, as if it had cut off time and destroyed all things.

Ying Ling was filled with warning signs, her soul was trembling and aching. On Jiang Sheng's magic sword, she sensed a terrifying power that could kill her soul.

However, just as Jiang Sheng raised his sword to chop down, a voice suddenly came from far away.

"Master Lingyuan, wait a minute!"

"Please show mercy, Master!" (End of this chapter)
