Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

"Li Jian, Zhao Qi, Zhang He."

"You three were all casual cultivators before, and you didn't know the true method."

"Only after entering the mountain gate can you obtain the true scriptures and see the great way. Now you have all been reborn and have cultivated the Taoist Purple Palace. You can serve the mountain gate."

In Jinhua Mountain, in the Hall of Good Deeds, the monk in charge handed a jade slip to Li Jian and the other two.

Li Jian and the other two bowed and thanked him: "Thank you, Senior Brother."

This Hall of Good Deeds is located on both sides of the square on the mountainside.

As Shen Yao and other cultivators from the first batch entered the inner gate and the second batch of cultivators were selected to come in, Jiang Sheng personally used his great magical powers to erect four palaces on both sides of the square on the mountainside.

One is called the Hall of Good Deeds, one is called the Hall of Lingbao, one is called the Hall of Dancao, and one is called the Hall of Stargazing.

Among them, the Stargazing Hall was built by Jiang Sheng with great efforts. Not only was there an incarnation of Jiang Sheng, but there were also several ghosts and gods, who used the method of geomancy to observe the celestial phenomena and gain insight into the four directions.

When a disaster is discovered in a certain place, the information will be sent to the Hall of Good Deeds.

The Hall of Good Deeds selects monks according to the severity of the disaster, assigns them good deeds, issues them tasks, and rewards them with good deeds after they succeed.

Good deeds play a vital role in Jinhua Mountain. Whether it is purchasing magic weapons and elixirs, exchanging for skills and scriptures, or applying for cave heaven cultivation, or receiving teachings from the True Lord, etc., good deeds are required.

In order to maintain the operation of Jinhua Mountain, to ensure that the cultivators of Jinhua Mountain can see hope, and to observe the character of these cultivators and ensure that they will not become alienated from Jinhua Mountain, Jiang Sheng specially prepared this complete set of Jinhua Mountain operation procedures.

Jiang Sheng stored a large number of his skills in the Sutra Library of Jinhua Mountain for the monks to exchange.

These skills do not involve Penglai, they were all obtained by Jiang Sheng from outside. The lowest level is the Purple Mansion stage, and the highest is the God Transformation stage. A complete set of cultivation skills from Purple Mansion to Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and God Transformation are provided to ensure that all cultivators can see the God Transformation stage in their future.

The techniques above the Spirit Transformation Realm were provided by Immortal Lord Xiangyu, who also provided several techniques for the Void Refinement Realm, which were placed in the Sutra Library as the highest reward in Jinhua Mountain.

As long as the monks in Jinhua Mountain enter the Sutra Repository, they can see the brilliant golden lights hanging on the top floor of the Sutra Repository.

That is the goal pursued by all the monks in Jinhua Mountain: the method to become immortal.

At the same time, except for some that Jiang Sheng brought out from the wild beast, the rest of the elixirs, magical herbs, magic weapons and magic weapons in the Dancao Hall and Lingbao Hall of Jinhua Mountain were all contributions from the Zixiao Emperor.

It has to be said that the massive resources provided by Emperor Zixiao enriched the foundation of Jinhua Mountain.

Coupled with the barrier of heaven and earth that separates the inside and outside of Jinhua Mountain, Jinhua Mountain has become one of the few safe places in the mountain and sea world today.

The mountain and sea world has become increasingly unsafe.

Both the number of times the mud dragon appeared and the number of times the ghost gate opened were increasing, and the entire mountain and sea world seemed to be full of disasters.

Whether it was to avoid disaster or to achieve immortality, a large number of cultivators rushed to Jinhua Mountain, hoping to become disciples of a true immortal and seek immortality.

Among them, there was even a prince of the Yu Dynasty.

That’s right, the prince of the Yu Dynasty also disguised himself and came to Jinhua Mountain.

Jiang Sheng didn't care at first, until the prince's background was exposed on the road of self-examination, which attracted Jiang Sheng's attention.

He was the second son of Emperor Xian, the contemporary emperor of the Yu Dynasty, named Ji Hong.

The royal family of the Yu Dynasty was of the Ji surname. Except for the capital of Yu, there were no common people or monks with the Ji surname outside the entire Yu Dynasty.

A cultivator with the surname Ji came to Jinhua Mountain with great arrogance and fearlessly exposed everything about himself to Jiang Sheng. His purpose was self-evident.

Ji Hong did it on purpose, or perhaps it could be said that Emperor Xian sent him to Jinhua Mountain on purpose.

As the emperor of the Yu Dynasty, Emperor Xian had an extremely keen sense of smell. He noticed more and more disasters in the world and realized that the world was about to undergo drastic changes. Therefore, he chose to disperse the royal bloodline and sent many descendants of the Ji clan out of Yudu and dispersed to the east, west, south and north.

It was not just Emperor Xian who was like this. All the aristocratic families were like this. The ghost and god families that had been passed down for thousands or even nearly ten thousand years had all sensed the crisis.

At present, there are many children from aristocratic families in Jinhua Mountain where Jiang Sheng lives.

The children of these aristocratic families also sent Jiang Sheng a lot of information.

For example, there has been chaos in the underworld, and both the Yu Dynasty and the Qian Dynasty are in trouble.

For example, Emperor Xian of the Yu Dynasty planned to build a dragon boat and send a group of descendants with the surname Ji across the East China Sea to find a safe place on the sea to preserve their bloodline.

When Jiang Sheng received this news, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

escape?
If the membrane of heaven and earth in the Mountain and Sea Realm is really broken, what can be done even if we escape to the sea or to the northwest sky?
Among the countless living beings in this world of mountains and seas, whether they are cultivators or ghosts and gods, who can escape?
Jiang Sheng no longer paid attention to the actions of these aristocratic families and began to focus on the affairs in Jinhua Mountain.

As the thirteenth generation of the Ling family in Penglai, Jiang Sheng had been in charge of sect affairs, served as the head of Tianxuan Peak, and handled a large number of sect affairs for his senior brother Lingwei.

Now, this small Jinhua Mountain really can't restrain Jiang Sheng's hands and feet.

While training monks, they also sent monks to spread out in all directions, taking every step carefully to establish the reputation of Jinhua Mountain.

In the past three to five years, the fame of Jinhua Mountain is not limited to Lingyou Prefecture and the surrounding prefectures.

Half of the Yu Dynasty could be seen with the presence of monks from Jinhua Mountain.

It was also thanks to the fact that Jiang Sheng recruited many children from ghost and god families. These cultivators from big families found it much easier to travel around and handle problems more properly, making Jinhua Mountain more and more famous.

As Jiang Sheng recruited the children of aristocratic families into the inner courtyard, a large group of cultivators from aristocratic families including Ji Hong became an important force in Jinhua Mountain.

With their existence, the dozen or so states and counties around Lingyouzhou almost formed a scene where the Yu Dynasty and Jinhua Mountain were jointly respected.

The government of the Yu Dynasty was responsible for government affairs and people's livelihood, while the monks of Jinhua Mountain were responsible for eradicating evil spirits and maintaining local stability.

And this model is still expanding.

Jiang Sheng constantly communicated and contacted with the ghost and god families in various places through these children of aristocratic families. After the two sides had a certain degree of trust, he asked Gao Yan to be responsible for contacting the ghost and god families in various places and strive to get them to join the Xuanqing Temple system.

Originally, with Jiang Sheng as a living immortal, the power of Jinhua Mountain was already very large. In addition, with Xiangyu Immortal Lord in charge of Xuanqing Temple, ghost and god families from all over the place also began to secretly contact Xuanqing Temple.

Jiang Sheng did not object to this method of betting on both sides. As long as these people did not cause him trouble, everything would be fine.

What Jiang Sheng cares about is the overall situation of the entire mountain and sea world, and he does not care about the gains and losses of the moment.

Moreover, as the mountain and sea world becomes increasingly turbulent, Jinhua Mountain's voice is constantly expanding and strengthening, and by then, many people will come to join it.

After all, apart from these aristocratic families, the royal family of the Yu Dynasty was also eyeing Jinhua Mountain.

Jinhua Mountain, Xuanqing Palace.

Ji Hong stood in the hall somewhat nervously, with mixed feelings. In the past, he was a high and mighty prince of the Yu Dynasty, enjoying endless wealth and splendor.

He thought he had seen all kinds of rare treasures in the world and met all kinds of ghosts, gods and monks.

But since coming to Jinhua Mountain, Ji Hong realized what it meant that there are always people better than you.

In this true immortal temple, rare treasures can be found everywhere, and ghosts, gods and cultivators are not worth mentioning.

What do rare treasures, material possessions, and the powers of ghosts and gods have to do with him?
Only strength belongs to you completely.

Here Ji Hong saw the true method of immortality and the opportunity to become an immortal.

Therefore, Ji Hong sincerely became Jiang Sheng's disciple and became one of the thousands of inner court monks.

At this time, there were already more than 100,000 cultivators in Jinhua Mountain, but among these 100,000 cultivators, only a few thousand could enter the inner courtyard.

Ji Hong cherishes his identity as an inner court disciple very much. Not only does he practice diligently, but he also completes the tasks assigned by the Hall of Good Deeds without fail.

Ji Hong was a little dazed for a moment as he was suddenly summoned to the Xuanqing Palace.

"Don't panic. I asked you to come here because I have something for you to do."

Jiang Sheng's voice sounded, and along with the gathering of pure air, the pure air slowly condensed in front of Ji Hong and turned into a human form.

He wore a jade Taoist crown, black crane robe, his eyes shone with mysterious light, and his face was smiling.

The Lord of Jinhua Mountain, True Lord Yuchen Lingyuan!

Although Ji Hong realized that it was Jiang Sheng who was looking for him, he was still very excited when he saw Jiang Sheng appear in front of him: "Disciple Ji Hong, meet the True Lord."

Jiang Sheng waved his hand, signaling Ji Hong not to be so reserved: "Ji Hong, I know your identity and origin."

Ji Hong nodded without saying anything more.

Ever since Emperor Xian asked him to join the Jinhua Mountain, Ji Hong knew that there was no way to hide his identity in front of this True Lord.

His entry into Jinhua Mountain represented the attitude of the Yu Dynasty, or Emperor Xian.

Jiang Sheng continued, "Now, the world is in chaos, and disasters are spreading everywhere. You have dealt with them personally. What do you think?"

Ji Hong couldn't help but recall his first experience going down the mountain for training.

After entering the inner sect, Ji Hong had just stabilized his state of mind when he received a mission from the mountain gate to go down the mountain to exorcise evil spirits.

That time, Ji Hong and his companions encountered the gate of hell opening in Huashizhou. Thousands of ghosts and evil spirits swarmed out of the gate of hell. Several counties turned into white land. Countless lives were killed tragically. The ground was in a mess, with broken limbs and body parts everywhere.
On that occasion, Ji Hong and others were full of confidence and thought that they had inherited the Jinhua Mountain and were geniuses from noble families, so they could handle the matter easily. However, they almost died at the hands of those evil spirits.

If the newcomers who went down the mountain for their first training were not secretly followed by the old men, Ji Hong and his companions would have died at the hands of those evil spirits long ago.

What royal princes, what ghost and god family, the so-called identity, the so-called bloodline, are of no use in the face of disaster. If someone does not secretly protect them, they will be like those tragically dead creatures, dying worthlessly in that ghost den, with no one caring about them.

It was also at that time that Ji Hong witnessed the true demeanor of the inner court disciples of Jinhua Mountain and saw what the power of true immortals was.

The inner courtyard disciple's name is An Ping. He ranks only in the top 50 in the inner courtyard of Jinhua Mountain. He is not as strong as the strongest senior brother Shen Yao, but the strength he has displayed is far beyond the power of a Jindan Zhenren.

Ji Hong watched with his own eyes how Brother Anping used the sword-controlling method to kill dozens of evil spirits, and how he used the Taoist talisman technique to set up a mysterious formation, summoning heavenly thunder to almost destroy that den of evil spirits and purify the land of several counties.

Through communicating with Anping, Ji Hong finally understood that the saying that riding the wind and controlling the void meant becoming a Golden Elixir True Person was not applicable in Jinhua Mountain.

In Jinhua Mountain, if one does not have the power to span thousands of miles with a single thought and roam freely in the world, he cannot be considered a Jindan Zhenren.

Moreover, a qualified Jindan Zhenren must not only have the means to travel thousands of miles away and the supernatural power to travel tens of thousands of miles, but also be proficient in at least one or even two of the elixir formations and talismans. In particular, one must be proficient in one of the talisman techniques and formations to be considered a qualified Jindan Zhenren.

Anping was proficient in the art of talismans and formations. In Huashizhou, he used talismans to set up a huge heavenly thunder formation.

It is said that the thunder method is the Tianxin Five Thunders Orthodox Method taught by the True Lord himself. However, with Anping's current strength, he is unable to display its full power. He can only use talismans and formations to display it indirectly, and its power is only one hundredth of what it was.

Even so, the mighty thunder from the sky, which could easily destroy a den of ghosts and wipe out thousands of ghosts and gods, shocked Ji Hong and other noble children who had seen many ghost and god magic.

The tremendous power displayed by the grand and righteous Taoism is incomparable to the power of ghosts and gods.

There is a main door and a side door, from which you can get a glimpse of the situation.

Not to mention that An Ping encountered a mud dragon on the way back with Ji Hong and the others. Facing the rampaging mud dragon, An Ping took out the talisman given by Jiang Sheng.

The talisman looked very ordinary to Ji Hong, with only the word "behead" written on it.

But the moment Anping took out this talisman, an indescribable power of heaven and earth oppressed Ji Hong and others to the point that they could not breathe.

However, in an instant, the word "kill" turned into a sword light that spanned the sky and the earth, easily killing the mud dragon and leaving a deep gully thousands of miles long on the earth.

It was not until this time that Ji Hong and his companions clearly realized that the so-called training of the newcomers in the inner courtyard was only to break their pride, let them see the changes in the world, and see the huge gap between the Taoist methods and the methods of ghosts and gods.

If you have not practiced in the pure and spiritual place of Jinhua Mountain and have not entered the cave, you will not realize the gap between the immortal land and the mundane world.

Even the majestic and magnificent Yudu is nothing but a speck of dust in front of Jinhua Mountain.

Even if this speck of dust is a million miles in size, what does it count for in front of a true immortal?

Since then, Ji Hong and others have devoted themselves to practice, and have never been tired of their daily exercises. Later, they completed several tasks assigned by the mountain gate and accumulated a lot of good deeds. Now Ji Hong has become a veteran disciple of Jinhua Mountain.

Recalling the past few years living in Jinhua Mountain, Ji Hong said: "Replying to the True Lord, now the world of the Mountain and Sea is in chaos and the human world is suffering. Jinhua Mountain is under the protection of the True Lord and is a rare quiet place, like a paradise on earth."

"Not only Jinhua Mountain, Lingyouzhou is also the most peaceful place in the Yu Dynasty. Other places, even the vicinity of Yudu, are not as peaceful as this one."

Hearing Ji Hong's answer, Jiang Sheng nodded and took Ji Hong to the outside of Xuanqing Palace.

Standing in front of the jade fence outside the Xuanqing Palace, looking at the scenery of Jinhua Mountain, Jiang Sheng said slowly: "I have no intention of competing with others in the world. I set up this temple to spread the Dharma to the world, but I feel for the suffering of all living beings."

"Ji Hong, I think you know the reason why your father asked you to become my disciple."

"I have a letter. Please keep it and send it to Yudu and give it to your father."

Ji Hong took the letter solemnly, without asking any further questions, bid farewell to Jiang Sheng and turned to go down the mountain.

Dozens of days later, Emperor Xian in Yudu received a letter from Ji Hong, who was entrusted by Jiang Sheng to deliver it.

There were only eight words written in a leisurely manner on the letter:
"You are an emperor, can you respect the heaven?" (End of this chapter)
