Chapter 148 The Purifying Urn

This was actually an extremely ordinary evening, the only difference being the sunset glow that was more gorgeous.

But in the many years that followed, this dusk was talked about with great relish by countless demonic monks, and many years later, it became something they often missed and reminisced about.

At dusk, if a fairy happened to be at a very high altitude above the south of Shenzhou and looked down, he would find:
When the sun set and night fell, the shadow of the ancient Dragon Gate suddenly appeared at the mouth of the Pearl River. That was exactly when black smoke began to rise from the Juqu Mountain.

The surprised shout of Miaoyi Zhenren and the angry roars of the Shangqing Sect's masters sounded almost simultaneously.

When the Lilong leaped over the Dragon Gate, the black smoke was moving all the way south and smashing the magical weapon of the Siming Mountain gate tower with unstoppable force.

One is in the East China Sea and the other is in the South China Sea. The Three Demonic Corpses and the True Dragon in Green Robe introduced themselves one after another.

For the first time, people in China realized that the green-robed corpse, demon corpse, red corpse, and beautiful corpse that they despised actually had their own names.

On this day, the speculation that had been passed down from mouth to mouth was finally confirmed. It turned out that the Green Robe Ancestor and the Red Haired Ancestor were truly dragon descendants. Today was the first time they revealed their true identities in front of people.

However, the Green Robe Patriarch revealed his true form and turned into a dragon by walking on the river, entering the fifth realm and becoming a true dragon that merged with the water veins of the land, equivalent to a terrestrial immortal.

However, the Red Haired Ancestor had already died and became a puppet under the feet of the Red Corpse God. His eyes were gouged out and his dragon ball was taken out.

----

As the voices of the Three Corpses and the Green Robe Announcement resounded throughout heaven and earth, night arrived completely.

The Shangqing Sect members were not willing to give up, so they used their magical powers to surround the Sanshi Island.

The master, whose Dharma image was Bixia Yuanjun, had the most powerful magic power. With a seal in his hand, the water of the East China Sea was lifted up like a gauze scarf and hit the Sanshi Island. The splashing water almost reached the clouds and a heavy rain fell on the shore of the East China Sea.

With such magical powers, he should be a first-class figure in the Shangqing Sect. As far as Cheng Xinzhan knows, the current Shangqing Sect leader Chengchu Zhenren is a Kun Daoist.

What is even more surprising is that the Three Corpse Island remained standing despite the siege by so many Dharma images.

Then, the Taoist Kun took out a magic weapon, the fishing drum, and struck it. The clear bang-bang sound spread in all directions.

In the darkness of the night, the sound of fishing drums turned into a rainbow light visible to the naked eye, clearly indicating the location of Sanshi Island.

If this piece of heaven and earth is a lake of spiritual energy, then the Kun Daoist of the Shangqing Sect is now stirring something in it, and the ripples are spreading out. Anyone who is in the lake and can "understand" the ripples can see this place.

Then, as the ripples spread, countless lights gathered here in the night. If you look from far enough away, it looks like countless fireflies gathering in the dark.

In just one or two hours, the number of people who came was even greater than when the righteous sects besieged West Kunlun.

All those who came were from the Shangqing Sect, not necessarily all from the Juqushan Sect, but also from other branches. However, most of these people were practicing the method of preserving the spirit. With hundreds and thousands of their inner spirits manifesting externally, the scene was so shocking that it could not be described.

It was as if the ancient gods and earth had returned to the world again.

Cheng Xinzhan felt that his internal organs were restless, as if they were about to jump out.

However, the "Zhou Tian Bai Qiao Nei Jing" he learned from Wen Sukong only told him the divinity of the acupoints, the key points of their connection, and their internal use in the acupoints, but did not record any method of revealing them externally for use in fighting.

That time in West Kunlun, he used the Yangming Yuntang Gang to transform the inner body of the god, rather than showing the external Dharma image.

He meditated calmly, took a few deep breaths, and calmed his restless inner spirit.

Then he took out a piece of talisman paper from his arms, drew a talisman on it, muttered something, and finally folded the talisman paper into a paper crane.

A stream of spiritual energy flowed into it, and the paper crane flew away to the west.

This is heading towards Lixi Village in Miaojiang. Inside is what Cheng Xinzhan said to the old village chief, asking them to leave quickly, either go deep into Miaobei or move to the back of Qinglong Cave and Xianren Cave. Of course, it would be best to go to Qinglong Cave, which is closer and takes less time on the road.

It is conceivable that with the death of the Red Haired Ancestor and the Green Robe entering the Five Realms, the Southern Wilderness Demon Cult will inevitably launch a large-scale attack on Miao Territory, and Miao Territory will be in chaos!
Lixi Village is located in the south and isolated in the east, far away from several immortal forces. It is difficult for a mortal village to survive in such a chaos.

One of the biggest differences between the evil path and the righteous path is that they will not avoid killing just because they are mortals. On the contrary, because mortals have weaker blood and energy than cultivators, if they really encounter them, they will probably kill them more cruelly in order to refine magic treasures or magic skills as soon as possible.

After releasing the paper crane, he flew towards the Sanshi Island.

At this time, various external and internal gods surrounded the Sanshi Island and performed their own Taoist magic.

On the Three Corpses Island, eighty-one Xuanyin Beast Gathering Banners took root in the void. Under the hurricane of magic power, the banners fluttered, and the orangutan souls and zombies flew out as if endlessly, resisting the attack.

The most incomprehensible thing is that after the yellow gas emitted from the flag attaches to the soul and corpse, ordinary five elements, wind, thunder and other spells have no effect on it.

Moreover, as the eighty-one flags formed a formation, the yellow gas turned into mist, covering the Three Corpses Island, and even the statue of Bixia Yuanjun could not attack it.

"It's the Earth Lung Xuanhuang Qi of the ancestral temple!"

As more and more Shangqing disciples came here, someone finally shouted out in public the origin of the yellow energy.

Cheng Xinzhan was shocked when he heard this.

The Earth Lung Mysterious Yellow Qi is an extremely rare spiritual object. According to legend, it is the essence exhaled by the earth's lungs. It can only be found in Juqu Mountain, the first of the 72 blessed places in the world. Because of this object, Juqu Mountain is also called Earth Lung Mountain.

This rare spiritual creature has another name, called Huangji Zhengwu Sha, and is ranked first among the 72 Earthly Sha.

But how could Juqushan let Gu Chen steal such a treasure that was as important as his life?
This was the question some people present had, but looking at the gloomy looks of the great Taoists from Juqu Mountain, it was clear that they were not going to explain.

"Neijing Shen is the god of mountains and earth, come to me!"

Said the Kundao holding the fishing drum.

"Respect the law!"

"Respect the teachings of the Master!"

"Respect the Immortal's order!"

"..."

Many people responded and flew over to gather. This also confirmed Cheng Xinzhan's guess that the Kun Taoist was indeed the leader of the Shangqing Sect.

Cheng Xinzhan thought about it and flew over as well.

When they got close to Sanshi Island, they found that the evil spirit of corpses was already rising into the sky, spreading for hundreds of miles. Fortunately, in the strait between Sanshi Island and Kuaiji, there were many Dharma images of high-level masters of Shangqing Sect standing, and their Dharma light prevented the spread of the evil spirit of corpses. Otherwise, ordinary cultivators of the first or second realm would not be able to even get close.

Among these Dharma images, the most dazzling one is the Bixia Yuanjun who stands tall and upright, with a solemn appearance and majesty like a mountain.

In front of Bixia Yuanjun’s chest, there is a Kun Taoist suspended in the air, wearing an apricot-yellow robe, holding a white jade seven-star scepter in his hand, and wearing a purple gold five-mountain crown on his head.

At this time, there were already quite a few people standing in front of the real person, at least forty or fifty of them, but Cheng Xinzhan took a glance and found that the majestic Dharma and Taoist ideas and magical fluctuations in these people were much more profound than his own, and unfathomable.

They are all golden elixirs.

He knew that he was being presumptuous. Even if he wanted to help eliminate the demon, it was not his level of ability.

He stopped and was about to retreat.

"Don't go away, boy. Come here."

At this time, a female voice sounded.

Cheng Xinzhan stopped and looked a little confused.

Child?

Is this calling yourself?
He looked back and found that the real person and many Jindan Yu masters were looking at him. They were really calling him.

He turned around and flew back. As the successor of Zixu Yuanjun's lineage and the current head of Shangqing Sect, he really couldn't say anything when being called a boy.

"This island is not ordinary. It is a point where the land and water of the Shenzhou land vein and the East China Sea vein are connected. It is difficult to shake. The three corpses on the island are also rare corpses that are rare in a thousand years.

"The corpse is related to earth, so it can freely control the earth lung Xuanhuang Qi, but the demon corpse belongs to Gui water, the red corpse belongs to Ding fire, and the beautiful corpse belongs to Yi wood. They should not be able to resist my Yuanjun Dharma. Therefore, there should be another earth corpse on the island, Ji Earth Emperor Corpse, which can have such strength."

As Cheng Xinzhan flew closer, he heard Master Chengchu say this to the senior cultivators who were gathered around him.

He subconsciously wanted to retort, all the emperors' corpses in the world were sealed under Mount Meiji, how could they be left out?
But he held back. A master like the Shangqing Sect Master would not speak nonsense. It seemed that he had to check carefully with his master when he returned. Could there really be something that slipped through the net?
At this time, seeing Cheng Xinzhan approaching, the immortal said:
"I am now going to hold a Dayan fasting ceremony, gather all the gods of the mountains and the earth, complete the seven-seven technique, and chant the Huangting together. This will control the earth's lungs and the mysterious yellow energy. Now there is only one person left to the seven-seven number. You, a boy who is only in the second realm, dare to come here, and your body is full of divine light. I believe you must have real skills. So I will choose you!"

Cheng Xinzhan was not nervous when he heard this and said yes.

The immortal nodded and threw out a formation diagram. The formation diagram swelled in the wind and finally landed on the sea, turning into a giant formation that surrounded the Three Corpses Island. The patterns of the giant formation were like endless mountains, glowing with golden light. There were forty-nine high altars on the base of the formation, and each of them was painted with different patterns of tigers, deer, unicorns, etc.

"Please ask the inner god to come to the altar."

Therefore, all the high-level Jindan practitioners manifested their inner spirits and performed rituals on the altar.

Cheng Xinzhan's face froze. Just now, Master Chengchu said that those whose inner gods were the gods of mountains and earth could come over, but he didn't say that the inner gods had to be manifested externally.

At this time, the other inner gods had already ascended the altar, except for Bixia Yuanjun of Chengchu Zhenren and the inner god of Cheng Xinzhan.

Master Chengchu looked over here.

Cheng Xinzhan did not dare to delay the event and told the truth.

"Master, please allow me to report. I have only heard that those who contemplate the spirits of the mountains and the earth are summoned to come forward, but I don't know that it requires the spirit to show itself. I have not yet learned this technique."

The Immortal frowned and Master Yu glanced at him sideways.

"Which sect of disciples are you from? You have already reached the second realm, why haven't you come to the ancestral temple to receive the ordination?"

The real person asked.

Cheng Xinzhan replied,

"Replying to the Immortal, I am not a disciple of Shangqing. I came from Sanqing Mountain and practiced the method of preserving the spirit. Today, I was a guest in Siming Mountain. I saw the Taoists chasing the evil spirits southward, so I followed them all the way and just came forward as I was summoned."

The real person nodded. The person came to help out of kindness, so naturally there was nothing more to say. She replied,
"That's fine. Thank you for your thoughtfulness."

"I dare not thank you, for fear of delaying the important event."

Cheng Xinzhan bowed and was about to leave.

"Sanqing Mountain, a disciple of the second realm, your whole body is so full of divine light, are you Cheng Xinzhan from Sanqing Mountain?"

At this time, a senior monk in the Dayan fasting and offering ceremony said to Cheng Xinzhan.

Cheng Xinzhan didn't expect that someone would recognize him, so he bowed and said yes.

Then the high cultivator said to Chengchu Zhenren,
"Master, now that all those who can make it to the Third Realm have arrived, we cannot afford to delay the fasting and offering ceremony. Why not invite Fellow Daoist Cheng to join the formation and ascend the altar? If I remember correctly, in order to ensure the continuation of the Dharma lineage and prevent the mountain gate from collapsing or a lack of successors, there has always been a rule in Juqu Mountain that three Shangqing talismans are given every hundred years to independent cultivators or up-and-coming disciples from other sects who also practice the Way of the Gods. I think it is appropriate to give one to Fellow Daoist Cheng now."

Upon hearing this, the Immortal looked at Cheng Xinzhan. She had heard of this name before. Someone from the sect had even gone to Sanqing Mountain specifically to look for someone, although they failed to get the person and she had never seen him with her own eyes before. But since the sect had this intention, it meant that this young man must be extraordinary in the way of preserving the spirit.

After a brief thought, Master Chengchu asked,
"Friend Cheng, I wonder if you are willing to accept my Shangqing Talisman. As an outsider, you do not have to abandon your original path, nor enter the Shangqing Sect's household register. I only hope that if one day my Shangqing Sect is in great trouble and is about to be destroyed, or if the sect gradually withers because it cannot recruit disciples, you can lend a hand to rebuild the sect.

"Once the Shangqing Talisman is refined, the inner spirit can enter the Dharma Talisman and, relying on the Dharma Talisman, transform into a Dharma image and establish itself in the outside world."

Cheng Xinzhan looked at Master Chengchu and found it hard to believe for a moment.

He practiced the method of preserving the spirit and had always paid attention to the Shangqing Sect. He knew the rule of sending out magic talismans, but there were only three vacancies for such a thing every hundred years, and sometimes it was not possible to send out three. There were always very few people who could obtain them. He did not expect that he would encounter such a good thing.

Moreover, the Shangqing Talisman is not as overbearing as the Zhengyi Talisman. If one refines the Zhengyi Talisman, one can only practice the Tianshi Dao, while the former, after being refined, does not affect the practice method and magic power of the recipient.

"Thank you very much for the kindness of Master Chengchu and this Taoist priest. I am willing to accept it."

Cheng Xinzhan agreed.

Although he was on guard against these things after the incident of viewing the seal in Tianshi Mansion, to be honest, the reputation of Juqu Mountain and Longhu Mountain cannot be compared.

The Shangqing Sect focuses on entering the fast and entering the meditation, and spiritual cultivation. Since the establishment of the sect in the Western Jin Dynasty, there has been no news of any crimes. Moreover, the rule of sending the Dharma talisman outside is not a recent one. Since its establishment, six thousand years ago, there has been no news of any irregularities among those who have been sent outside to receive the talisman.

More importantly, with such a big commotion at the scene, so many people watching, and it happened outside Juqu Mountain, and he had only received the ordination temporarily, the possibility of tampering was extremely small.

Shangqing urn.

That is the only talisman among the Three Mountains Talismans that can be passed on to outsiders!
Cheng Xinzhan is willing to take this small risk.

Zhenren Chengchu nodded and spread out his palm. Immediately, a ray of clear light appeared in the palm of his hand. It was a long square strip with mysterious gold and white patterns painted on both sides. It looked like official script but not official script, and like seal script but not seal script. It seemed like words condensed from the innate Dharma meaning.

The magic talisman slowly floated in front of Cheng Xinzhan.

On the altar for fasting and offering sacrifices, many people stared at the talismans intently. Although they were all high-level cultivators at the third realm or above, there were still many of them showing envy on their faces.

The person who just asked for the talisman for Cheng Xinzhan smiled and reminded,

"Friend Cheng is very lucky. The headmaster personally gave you the talisman, so your moves are naturally extraordinary. This is the highest-ranking "Taishang Tiandu talisman" among the Shangqing talismans of my sect. It is rare even in my sect."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xinzhan quickly bowed and thanked him.

"Young friend Cheng, there is no need to be so polite. Please quickly refine the magic scroll, invite the spirit to leave your body, and perform the ritual on the stage."

Cheng Xinzhan nodded.

He took the talisman, which was so light that it seemed to have no weight.

The talisman itself was extremely clear and spiritual, and easy to refine. He probed his magic power into it and left his own imprint of magic power in the talisman. A flash of brilliant light appeared on the spiritual orifice of the talisman, and that meant it was successfully refined.

In the future, the Dharma refining, blood refining, and spirit refining must be carried out in detail in order to strengthen the connection and command as one arm, but now time is short and the Dharma refining alone is enough.

After refining the Shangqing Talisman, Cheng Xinzhan also discovered that it contained many of the Shangqing School's legal essentials, especially some hidden tricks about the visualization method that were not fully explained in the Zhoutian Baiqiao Neijing Jing. At this moment, he also understood a lot.

However, he didn't have time to look at it carefully at the moment. He would have to think about it carefully after the incident.

He held the talisman between his fingers, followed the guidance of the principles in the talisman, silently chanted the mantra in his mind, and mobilized Prince Bingling in the Tufu with his thoughts.

So, Prince Bingling walked out of the earth palace, jumped over the barrier between the inner world and the natural world, and entered the magic talisman.

Cheng Xinzhan loosened his hand and chanted a spell, and the talisman slipped out of his hand and came behind him. Then, as he chanted the spell, his "Taishang Tiandu" grade Shangqing talisman burst into a dazzling yellow light, which was no less brilliant than the talisman light that burst out when the inner spirits of the Jindan cultivators were revealed.

When the bright light faded, everyone saw a towering deity standing beside Bixia Yuanjun, with his hands behind his back.

Compared to Bixia Yuanjun's gorgeous crown and clothes, this deity's dress was more casual, in only a bright yellow casual outfit. But looking at his expression, he was carefree and casual yet also revealed a hint of arrogance, with his brows lowered and his eyes looking down, looking down on the other gods.

Seeing this, the Taoist priest who recommended Cheng Xinzhan clapped his hands and laughed,

"That's right! It's Prince Bingling!"
