Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

Little Penglai Wonderland, Little Penglai Island.

On this day, the Little Penglai Island was filled with brilliant rays of light and a magnificent sky.

Under the reflection of the rosy clouds, the sacred peaks emit brilliant colors, the misty clouds gather and disperse, and the aurora flows across the sky.

The flying waterfall reflects the rainbow light, the auspicious clouds set off the red flowers, all kinds of fairy birds are lingering around, and there are groups of spiritual beasts bringing good news.

Blue birds and colorful sparrows were flying and singing, and smart monkeys and white deer were walking and playing. In this peaceful scene, the main peak of Xiao Penglai where the Qingxuan Palace was located had been arranged.

The chimes played, stringed instruments began to sound, and guests from all over walked along the long jade steps and corridor and entered the Qingxuan Palace.

As the palace door opened, what came into view were towering pillars. These pillars supporting the Qingxuan Palace were all made of superior spiritual wood, and were inlaid with lapis lazuli cloud patterns and flying dragons circling the pillars.

Between the cloud screens engraved with cranes and deer, there are incense burners from Boshan, with wisps of mist rising up, lingering in this hall with astonishing spiritual energy.

Layer upon layer of heavy clouds spread out, and flying birds held candles in lamps filled with sparkling pearls. Above the head, starlight shone down, revealing the image of the starry universe and the Milky Way.

Such a scene really made the new geniuses in the three realms marvel.

Whether it is the illuminating nebula and the Milky Way, the Penglai sandalwood in the Boshan incense burner, or the cloud screens inlaid with gold and jade, and the candle-filled lamps, they are all extraordinary things.

It can be said that every item in this hall is a priceless treasure.

But here, these are just ordinary decorations.

Moreover, many of the furnishings in this hall are also extraordinary. For example, the jade bottles and golden cups, the landscapes, and various treasures are all quite distinctive and are placed according to the four seasons.

There are corresponding rules for what to put in each season, and the meanings they reflect are also different.

As for the deepest part of the hall, there is a calligraphy hanging with the words "Penglai" inscribed on it.

The two characters are written in the shape of a dragon, showing the grand style. If you look closely, you seem to be able to see the various scenic spots of Xiao Penglai, including flowing springs and waterfalls, sacred peaks and palaces, as well as birds and beasts.

If you concentrate more carefully, you seem to be able to see the flow of wind, thunder, water and fire, and the changes in the nature of heaven and earth.

When the new geniuses looked again in astonishment, they could only see the word Penglai and no other strange sights.

These two words were naturally written by Jiang Sheng himself.

All parties made preparations on both sides of the hall and waited for Jiang Sheng to enter. Then the guests from all parties came forward with their children to congratulate Jiang Sheng on achieving the Taiyi Dao Fruit, being ranked as an immortal, being immune to future disasters, having long life, etc. Then the children of each family presented their congratulatory gifts.

This gift of congratulation is not given casually. There is a complete set of procedures for what kind of sect or family to send, what kind of gifts to send, and what kind of congratulatory speeches to make.

And there is an order of who comes first and who comes later.

With the sound of zithers, pipa and chimes playing deep in the two sides of the Qingxuan Palace, the Lianxu Ceremony officially began.

At the back of the Qingxuan Palace, Jiang Sheng had already put his ceremonial attire in order. At this moment, Jiang Sheng was wearing a bright silver jade crown, which showed the image of the Qingyang Milky Way, and a Liangyi Qihua robe, which displayed the method of Yin and Yang.

Wearing a Panlong Liuyun soft jade belt and a crystal Yuanhua mirror in front of him, Jiang Sheng looked at himself in the mirror, nodded slightly, and then entered the Qingxuan Palace accompanied by Tian Mingan and Qiu Buyu.

"The True Lord has arrived, and the ceremony begins."

"The universe is full of things, yin and yang are in all directions, in the east there is Penglai, and the sun and the moon are the signs"

As the melodious Taoist music sounded, countless birds flew and cried throughout the entire Penglai fairyland, and rays of light illuminated the everywhere.

Jiang Sheng also appeared in the Qingxuan Palace and took the main seat.

As the ceremonial officer sang, the guests came forward one by one with their disciples to offer their congratulations.

"The Three Spirit Islands in the South China Sea send three pairs of jade yao, three bottles of star gold, and a thousand hu of flowing pearls to congratulate Master Lingyuan."

"The Star Island in the East China Sea sent three pieces of gold, three cubes of dragon tears, and a thousand silver flowers to congratulate Master Lingyuan."

"Nanzhou Qianhua Sect sent five pieces of soft jade marrow, five pieces of gold and copper from Genshan, and three thousand precious pills to congratulate Lingyuan Zhenjun."

"."

As gifts were presented one after another, guests took their seats with their children.

From various sects and families to various holy places, when all the guests in the hall took their seats, the immortal banquet began.

Accompanied by bursts of bell music, delicacies from land and sea, and jars of fine wine were delivered to every table for the guests to enjoy.

Those who presented the congratulatory gifts were the guests and envoys of each family. For example, Lin Fan, Ling Yu and other fellow brothers and sisters from the same clan sent a portion in advance as a token of their appreciation.

As for the old friends from Tianhe and Qinghua Taoist Sect, they presented gifts at the banquet. They did not need any rare treasures, just some simple items.

But even so, the value of the things presented by these true disciples who have become the elders of various sects will not be low.

They are all wealthy people and don't need these things.

Deep in the hall, where the sky was flowing and the stars were shining, Jiang Sheng sat in the first seat, with Xuan Yi, Kong Zhen, Ye Wenshu, Fahui and other Lianxu Zhenjun on his left and right.

Facing these former opponents or old friends, Jiang Sheng couldn't help but drink a few glasses of wine. As the wine went down their stomachs, they began to talk about some interesting things that happened during that time.

Ye Wenshu looked at Fahui, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she smiled: "Venerable Fahui."

"I heard that you demonstrated Buddhism outside the Three Realms a while ago and it made quite a splash. Why don't you elaborate on it?"

After hearing what Ye Wenshu said, Fahui almost dropped the spiritual fruit in his hand. If Fahui's spiritual platform was not like a bodhi tree, and his mind was not calm and free from dust, he would have slapped Ye Wenshu's beautiful face to pieces.

At that time, Fahui was planning to go to another Buddhist world to visit a bodhisattva, but who would have thought that Ye Wenshu and Bai He from Shaoguang Realm would have teamed up to trick him. If Fahui had not been proficient in Buddhism and was not only well-versed in Buddhist scriptures but also in the art of exorcising demons, he would have fallen into the hands of Ye Wenshu and Bai He.

This kind of thing is nothing. It is normal for a few youngsters in the early stage of refining emptiness to fight privately, and all parties will not take it seriously.

But Fahui was really cheated, and he was considered to have a good temper as he didn't get angry before.

Now, when Ye Wenshu mentioned it, Fahui lost his composure for a moment but immediately recovered as normal, with the usual kind smile of the Buddhist sect on his face: "It's just some demon-slaying matters. It's only natural for a Buddhist disciple to suppress demons outside."

"I heard that Xuannv had failed to suppress a great monster from the Southern Region Continent?"

"If Xuannv needs it, I can put aside past grudges and provide assistance."

Ye Wenshu's eyes turned cold, and then she snorted.

Doesn't she know where the demon king in the Void Refinement Realm from the Southern Territory Luzhou came from?

Jiang Sheng watched Ye Wenshu and Fahui arguing with each other, and he also knew that the two had been fighting each other secretly.

Now that these two have come to me, they must want to have a discussion with me.

Xuanyi was a gentle and elegant gentleman. He sipped his wine slowly. Seeing Jiang Sheng coming, he smiled and said, "Lingyuan, I guess Mingdong told you?"

Mingdong is the Taoist name of Ningchuan of Tianhe Taoist Sect.

Jiang Sheng naturally understood what Xuanyi was talking about: "Well, Mingdong told me that I think the Three Realms will definitely be more lively in the future."

After hearing this, Xuan Yi was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Yes, yes, the Three Realms will definitely be more lively in the future."

"Nowadays, the Three Realms are flourishing, and have nurtured countless new geniuses. For those of us who have lived through the last thousand years, it's time to give the opportunity to shine to the newcomers."

"This is a time when heroes from all sides are gathering together. Can we see the performance of the newcomers from each family?"

Jiang Sheng said: "Of course, it's time for our disciples to see the heroes from all over the world."

As he spoke, Jiang Sheng said in a clear voice: "This time, I am presiding over the ceremony. Seeing so many outstanding new talents in the Three Realms, it is enough to show the prosperity and splendor of the Three Realms."

Everyone in the hall heard Jiang Sheng's words and looked in his direction.

Jiang Sheng continued, "In the eyes of ordinary people, the path of cultivation is based on talent, aptitude, and understanding, none of which can be missing."

"I say that the path of cultivation is to place the heart of the Tao first."

"The importance of the heart of the Tao is, first, firmness. If the heart of the Tao is firm, the Tao will be stable. Second, competition. Only by daring to compete can we see the right results."

"Therefore, I want to start a duel, but I don't know how many of these geniuses have the will and confidence to compete."

"If you are interested, you may come out and give it a try. I will reward the winner generously."

"For those who excel, I will give you something else."

After saying that, Jiang Sheng flipped his hand and took out a jade pendant.

As soon as this jade pendant came out, it attracted the eyes of countless people.

The rope of the jade pendant is made of three strands of silver silk thread, with a crescent jade piece on it, engraved with spiritual forbidden cloud patterns, and inlaid with star gold beads, hanging down from the four directions of yin and yang jade, with a gold hook and silver border, and a jade ring and agate beads hung at the back, decorated with tasseled black silk.

This jade pendant is not only gorgeous in style, but also emits a bright glow which indicates that it is a genuine magic weapon, and it is not a magic weapon used by ordinary Jindan Zhenren.

"This item is just a random artifact of mine. Although it has no other magical uses, it can be used to calm the mind, eliminate inner demons, isolate spells, and protect the body."

Jiang Sheng spoke casually, but the newcomers heard it clearly. This magic jade pendant can, firstly, help the progress of cultivation, secondly, isolate the evil ways, thirdly, defend against curses and sorcery, and fourthly, it can protect the body from magic.

This kind of jade pendant is not an ordinary item. It is something that a True Lord casually refines. At least for a True Lord of Dharma, it is a useful treasure.

This is something that no one wants to miss.

It's not just about its efficacy, it also represents a kind of glory: it was obtained by defeating geniuses from various families at the fairy banquet hosted by True Lord Yuchen Lingyuan in the Little Penglai Fairyland.

For a time, countless people were ready to take action.

Seeing this, Jiang Sheng nodded.

But a streak of light jumped out from Jiang Sheng's fingertips, and after landing in the center of the hall, it continued to absorb the starlight and spiritual energy, and finally turned into a door for passage.

At the other end of this passage is a gray and desolate world.

But I saw that this desolate world collapsed into pieces of island-sized land. These lands were isolated from each other, with thunder and lightning, raging fire and lava in between. Above the sky, water and fire were hanging upside down, and ice was dancing wildly. Under the earth, there was nothingness and chaos.

I don't know where Jiang Sheng found this desolate world to use as a place for fighting. Not to mention a Jindan Zhenren, even a Yuanying Huashen realm cultivator would die in it if he is not careful.

But such an environment is definitely enough to hone these young Jindan people.

The guests from all parties looked either solemn or hesitant, and the newlyweds were either expectant or nervous.

When Ye Wenshu and Fahui saw this world, their expressions froze.

This is not an ordinary world. It is the inner scenery of a cave created by Jiang Sheng himself, containing Jiang Sheng's Taoism.

Just by looking at the scene, one can tell that Jiang Sheng's method of dealing with disasters has improved again.

For a moment, Ye Wenshu and Fahui looked at Jiang Sheng with a strange look on their faces. (End of this chapter)
