Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

The evil dragon roared, pouring the filth accumulated in the underworld onto the human world.

In the netherworld, Emperor Ling of the Yu Dynasty had accomplished his plan.

The Ghost Emperor looked at the deep crack above the Netherworld sky, looked at the eerie Yellow Spring water and turbid mud rising into the sky from the Yellow Spring, and nodded with satisfaction.

With the help of the evil dragon that was causally connected to the Yellow Spring, the silt in the Yellow Spring was finally drawn out.

Although Lingyou Province and even several surrounding provinces will turn into a ghost den this time, the underworld will at least be peaceful for a while.

With this thought in mind, Emperor Ling slowly turned around, stood on the seven-story altar and looked at the ministers kneeling below: "Although I am offering sacrifices for the benefit of the living beings in the netherworld, I have ultimately misled the people of the human world."

"I feel guilty and should retreat to meditate and pray for the good of mankind."

The ghosts and gods all bowed and said, "Your Majesty is kind and merciful!"

What kindness?!

It was purely because Emperor Ling was the mastermind and chief priest of the Yellow Spring's gushing out that the cause and effect of the disasters in the world were already connected with him. Emperor Ling's luck was damaged, and he just needed to avoid all subsequent affairs!
But the ghosts and gods saw through it but did not say anything. After all, it was not only Emperor Ling whose luck was damaged. They were worshipped by people and their luck was naturally damaged as well. They also needed to rest.

For a moment, in the netherworld, Yinling City became extremely quiet. Wisps of Yellow Spring spiritual energy grew in the ghost city like mist, and ghost money was scattered all over the sky, but the city was as silent as ever.

Be it those luxurious and connected tombs or those majestic and solemn palaces, they were all in complete silence, as if no one was there.

The underworld fell into silence, while the human world was plagued by disasters.

Lingyou Prefecture, as the place where the evil dragon was born, suffered the worst disaster, and several prefectures surrounding Lingyou Prefecture were also affected.

At this time in Lingyouzhou, a large number of people tried to flee Lingyouzhou. After all, the towns outside the city could not stop the evil spirits, and the tall county town could not stop the mud dragons.

As a large number of mud dragons ravaged the area, several county towns had been reduced to ruins. As for the villages and towns outside the county towns, those who had been devoured by the mud dragons and ravaged by evil spirits were no longer ordinary.

Just when the monks and people of Lingyouzhou were falling into despair, a rumor began to spread: Xuanqing Temple in Jinhua County was the residence of immortals and gods. Not only did evil spirits dare not invade, but even mud dragons and evil dragons dared not approach. It was the safest place in Lingyouzhou.

No one knows where this rumor came from. The people of Lingyouzhou don't know whether it is true or not, and they are afraid of the evil ghost mud dragon outside the city and dare not move rashly.

But there are always some brave monks who want to go to Jinhua County to take a look.

Zhao Yanling is one of them.

Zhao Yanling is a cultivator from the Zhao family and a genuine Golden Elixir Master.

She knew very well that relying on the power of the county town alone would not be enough to stop the mud dragons and those evil spirits. Instead of waiting to die here, it would be better to go to Jinhua County and give it a try.

After all, Lingyouzhou and even other disaster-stricken areas have been blocked by the Yu Dynasty, and no living creature is allowed to enter or leave to avoid disaster and other safe places.

There is no way out. Lingyouzhou is like a huge cage filled with evil spirits.

People are like ants in this cage. If they want to survive, they have to rely on themselves.

Zhao Yanling left the county town and took a few disciples who were willing to follow her. They avoided the dens where evil spirits bred and the places where evil spirits invaded, and moved forward with difficulty in the wilderness of Lingyouzhou.

Today, with the splashing of yellow mud and dirty water, Lingyouzhou is full of ghosts and monsters outside the county town. Sometimes Zhao Yanling and her disciples cannot even advance a hundred miles in a day and a night.

This is unimaginable for a Jindan Zhenren.

Fortunately, after going through many hardships along the way and encountering many ghosts and gods, we finally arrived outside Jinhua County.

Outside Jinhua County, Zhao Yanling and her disciples saw the huge abyss left behind by the evil dragon that broke free from the underworld. The earth had cracked open a gap thousands of miles long, and the surrounding land was cracking inch by inch, like the mouth of an abyss that swallowed everything, constantly spewing out ghostly and evil spirits.

This is where the evil dragon escaped, and it is also the most dangerous place in the entire Lingyou State.

But even in this Jinhua County, amidst the wind, rain and evil spirits, there is still a temple standing here. No matter how the sky collapses and the earth breaks, the land around the temple has not changed at all.

Zhao Yanling, who originally thought that she was tricked by others to come and die, looked at the temple emitting a bright light and couldn't help but said excitedly: "It turns out that there really is a residence of immortals and gods here!"

The excited Zhao Yanling and his disciples immediately ran to the temple. However, when they arrived in front of the temple and looked at the temple called Xuanqing Temple, they became hesitant: Although the temple looked large, it could only accommodate a thousand people. Could it still accommodate them now?

As if sensing someone coming, the gate of Xuanqing Temple opened and a cultivator walked out: "Are you seeking refuge here?"

Zhao Yanling nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, may I ask if you can accommodate us?"

The monk couldn't help but laugh and said, "Master, don't underestimate the immortals. This may seem like just a temple, but it has a lot of secrets inside. It can accommodate not only a thousand people, but even tens of millions."

"Come in."

Zhao Yanling, who was skeptical, took his disciples into Xuanqing Temple, and then, under the guidance of the monks, burned incense and offered sacrifices in the Temple of Fatian Xiangyu God.

"This is the main deity worshipped by my Xuanqing Temple. Lord Fatian Xiangyu has divine power that reaches heaven and earth, and also has a heart of boundless compassion. If you sincerely worship the Lord, you will be able to enter the realm of God."

Listening to the monk's explanation, Zhao Yanling looked at the magnificent main hall, the plaque with "The Mystery of Taoism", and the solemn statue that was ten feet tall in the hall. In a trance, he seemed to see a land full of colorful lights and countless people living here.

Shocked, Zhao Yanling hurriedly burned incense and offered sacrifices.

Just as she looked up, she found that the world in front of her had changed.

The land here is vast, with fog as a wall around the boundless sky and earth. There are colorful lights everywhere, misty clouds in the sky, and fairy air rising above the earth.

Sensing the abundant spiritual energy here and looking at the cultivated spiritual fields and villages and towns, Zhao Yanling felt as if he had entered a fairyland. Just by breathing in and out, he could feel the spiritual energy in his body becoming extremely active, as if it was about to break through.

Dong~dong~dong~
As the mighty bell rang, Zhao Yanling discovered that the people between the spiritual fields and the villages and towns stopped what they were doing as if they were offering something.

Zhao Yanling looked up and saw a huge divine figure suddenly appear between heaven and earth.

The divine shadow penetrated the sky and the earth, and disappeared into the clouds. The divine shadow wore a golden crown and a red and black robe, and was surrounded by a thousand-foot-high rosy glow, and the wheel of Tao was spinning behind his head.

Pure air surged, and a mighty divine light spread. Sensing the majestic aura, Zhao Yanling could not help but follow the actions of the people around him and offer sacrifices: "Respect, Lord Fatian Xiangyu."

More and more living beings gathered in Xuanqing Temple.

Jinhua County, Duqing County, Pinglin County, Anhe County
All the people from the counties who could come came to Xuanqing Temple and took refuge in this paradise.

The ghosts and gods of various counties were naturally incorporated into the Xuanqing Temple system and became ghosts and gods under the seat of Xiangyu Immortal Lord.

Outside the Mountain and Sea Realm, the bone boat still hung quietly in the chaos, as if monitoring everything in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

On the bone boat, Jiang Sheng played chess with Xiangyu Immortal Lord.

Jiang Sheng said softly: "This disaster in Huangquan is actually an opportunity for the Immortal Lord."

Xiang Yu Xianjun nodded and said, "Well, at this moment, my Fatian Qianliu Pearl has already contained more than two million lives. These lives worship and offer sacrifices to me day and night. The causal connection between me and the statue in Xuanqing Temple is becoming clearer and clearer."

If one wants Immortal Lord Xiangyu to enter the world of mountains and seas and rule over the underworld, he must have a large number of people offering him sacrifices and sufficient incense and faith.

This disaster in the underworld brought disaster to Lingyouzhou and the surrounding areas, a large number of people were displaced, and countless evil spirits wreaked havoc on the world. This was a pitfall for the Yu Dynasty, but for Xiangyu Xianjun, it was the best opportunity to earn worship.

With the incense from the entire Lingyou Province, Immortal Lord Xiangyu will be able to enter the Mountain and Sea Realm and have the opportunity to rule the underworld.

At this time, half of the surviving creatures in the entire Lingyou Province have entered Xuanqing Temple and entered the Fatian Qianliu Pearl of Xiangyu Immortal Lord. Although there is still some shortage, it is barely enough.

Xiang Yu Xianjun said: "The Yu Dynasty allowed the Yellow Springs disaster to sweep across the world, and was indifferent to the lives of those living beings. My friend, this is our chance."

"That evil dragon is rampant right now, are you ready to take action?"

Jiang Sheng wrote a word and nodded slightly: "My clone has almost carved several statues. It's time to make a move."

Xiang Yu Xianjun sighed, "If it weren't for me, how could the evil dragon be so rampant? It's you who have taken the blame for me."

"Fortunately, the incense and faith are almost enough. It's time to put an end to that evil dragon and restore peace to this world."

Jiang Sheng smiled and said, "It's just some resentment. It's not a cause and effect. I can still bear it."

"Since the Immortal Lord thinks it's almost done, let them prepare. I will prepare to enter in person, first kill the evil dragon, and then go to the netherworld."

Immortal Lord Xiangyu nodded, and then placed his divine consciousness into the Fatian Qianliu Pearl in the Xuanqing Temple in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

At that moment, the more than two million cultivators and common people in the Fatian Qianliu Pearl heard Fatian Xiangyu Divine Lord speak for the first time: "The netherworld is in trouble, and the Yellow Spring is gushing out and wreaking havoc on the human world."

"The Yu Dynasty ignored the people's livelihood and watched them suffer."

"I cannot bear the suffering of the human world, so I specially opened this cave to provide a safe haven for the people."

Hearing the Lord God speaking, Zhao Yanling and other cultivators and common people all bowed and said, "Respect the Lord Fatian Xiangyu!"

The divine figure between heaven and earth continued: "However, the power of the cave can only protect a corner of the land, and it is difficult to clear the calamity of heaven and earth."

"I have specially sent the gods to the mortal world to punish the evil dragon and restore peace and order to the world."

"However, the road to heaven and earth has been cut off. You must remember my words. Use the power of all living beings to open the gate of heaven and earth and send down the true immortals to eliminate the demons."

As the divine shadow finished speaking, a prayer text appeared in the minds of Zhao Yanling and more than two million monks.

In Xuanqing Temple, Gao Yan and ghosts and gods from various counties were also constantly building altars.

"Everyone, the passage between heaven and earth has been cut off. We need to work hard with sincerity to open the gate of heaven and earth. Please ask the true immortal to come down and kill the evil dragon. Everyone, please don't be careless and give your all."

With the cooperation of all ghosts and gods, an altar was finally erected in Xuanqing Temple.

Gao Yan and many ghosts and gods surrounded the altar, watching Jiang Sheng step up to the top of the altar step by step and offer incense.

The flags are flying and the bells are swaying.

Jiang Sheng's clone said seriously:

"Jade Palace descends to the three realms, and purple smoke rises from the Nine Purities."

"Holding the Dharma of the Last Disaster, and Harvesting the Wonderful Fruits of the Three Disasters and Five Disasters of the First Emperor"

Gao Yan and hundreds of ghosts and gods lit their incense sticks and chanted in unison:
"Over 1,600 mantras are revealed in jade and gold script."

"Control the five thunders and understand the key points of yin and yang; follow the four images and perform the return of chaos to oneness"

At the same time, in the small cave of Fatian Qianliuzhu, more than two million living beings chanted in unison:

"To attain the Way of Taiyi, to obtain the fruit of Dongzhen, to respond to the cries of the suffering, to resolve the problems of the ten directions, to eliminate the demons of the three realms, to drive out evil and purify the darkness."

"I have received the command of the Heavenly Lord and am in charge of Xiao Xuantian."

"The position of Taiyi Dongzhen is called Yuchen Lingyuan"

For a moment, between the heaven and earth of Lingyouzhou, in the endless wind and rain, between the evil dragons coiling in the sky, and in the places where evil spirits were rampant and evil ghosts were rampant, the prayers of ghosts and gods and countless living beings echoed:

"Jade Palace descends to the three realms, and the Nine Purities produce purple smoke"

As the prayers continued, a beam of light swayed and shot up into the sky, breaking through the thick clouds of ghost energy, going straight into the sky and leading to the outside world. (End of this chapter)
