Chapter 325 Summoning God!
Several disciples with advanced cultivation stood behind Taoist Master Jiang Lin with respectful expressions.
The teenagers and girls who had just entered the door and had not yet mastered the skills hid behind the door, sticking their heads out to look around curiously.
"I am Jiang Lin, the 47th generation successor of Yunhai Temple on Chengming Mountain. I am a disciple of Master Lingjing. I report this to the Heavenly Venerable."
"Now, because I have consumed my spiritual energy to subdue demons, my magical power has been damaged. I have also gained two disciples. In order to lead them on the path of Taoism, I pray to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. I hope that the Heavenly Palace will grant my approval."
A very normal 'praying to the spirits' ceremony.
It stands to reason that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is managed by the gods of the spiritual department, but for some reason, when one prays for spiritual energy, one has to report to the Heavenly Lord first.
As for why they used the method of "praying to the spirits" instead of directly reporting to the "Tongli God" enshrined in the temple...
A Jindan stage practitioner is entitled to two cubic meters of spiritual energy each month, while a foundation-building stage practitioner is entitled to only one cubic meter. If they can succeed, it will be considered as some spiritual energy left for their disciples.
Soon, all the procedures were completed.
All the disciples behind him lowered their eyes, respectfully waiting for the response from the Heavenly Palace.
Taoist master Jiang Lin clenched his fists, his heart filled with nervousness. Although he was a Jindan-stage practitioner, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his palms.
The smoke curled up, as if being pulled, and rose straight into the sky.
'allow!'
A loud, emotionless and cold voice rang in the ears of Taoist Master Jiang Lin and the disciples behind him.
Ready!
All the disciples who had been waiting with their eyes lowered raised their heads, with a hint of joy in their eyes, and looked at the Taoist master Jiang Lin in front of them.
However, Taoist Master Jiang Lin just stood there in a daze.
At the moment the loud voice rang out, he felt as if a majestic figure of unknown height and with infinite power appeared before his eyes.
The eyes manifest the natural changes of the sun, moon, wind, rain, etc., and reflect the destiny of human beings, such as fortune and misfortune, life and death, longevity and misfortune.
It was when they caught a glimpse of this majestic existence that the four methods suddenly began to operate spontaneously.
[God: Tianzun (? ?)]
[He resides in the Nine Heavens Golden Palace, holds supreme authority, controls all yin and yang, disasters and blessings in this world, commands all spirits, and saves countless people. He is the supreme god]
[Authority: Manage the three realms - heaven, underground, and space.]
【Commands the ten directions - the four directions, the four dimensions, the up and down. 】
[The four kinds of birth: birth from the womb, birth from eggs, birth from moisture, and birth from transformation.]
【Comprehensive control of the six realms: heaven, human, demon, hell, animal, and hungry ghost. 】
【road:??】
【Law:??】
[Current status: Available]
Tianzun?
Can you summon me?
Looking at the golden words that appeared on the jade book in front of him, which was neither real nor imaginary, Taoist Jiang Lin was a little slow to react.
He did not come back to his senses until he heard his disciple's call, and the jade book and golden words disappeared.
"Master, this is the Soul-Gathering Pot." The eldest disciple held a long-necked jade pot and handed it to him.
The neck of the pot is slender and the whole body is crystal clear. There is a golden scripture printed on the body of the pot.
After the prayer is successful, the Heavenly Palace will not directly allocate spiritual energy, but the practitioner must breathe in and out on his own.
But in this case, it would be difficult to control the amount of spiritual energy being breathed in.
If there is less, it will be a waste, but if it exceeds the quota promised by the Heavenly Palace...
Ha ha!
Therefore, it is necessary to use the Spirit Collection Pot to collect the spiritual energy within the quota, so as to ensure that there is no waste and the quota is not exceeded.
Moreover, when practicing, one must clear out a "spiritual-free environment" to prevent the excess spiritual energy from being accidentally exhaled...
In this world, practicing is really a very troublesome thing!
and many more!
It seems like I haven’t been discovered!
Taoist Jiang Lin thought belatedly.
He took the Spirit Absorption Pot from the eldest disciple, placed it on the altar, injected a trace of mana into it, and set the amount of spiritual energy to be absorbed this time to two.
The success of 'praying to the spirits' proved that the gods in the spiritual department should not have noticed anything wrong with him.
Unfortunately, there are still Tongli Divine Lord and Tongwei Divine Lord...
They knew that the bear god was coming to hunt them down, and Lord Tongli even gave the bear god a soul-capturing talisman to allow him to erase all traces of his evil deeds.
Now that he had returned safely, and the bear god was dead, it would be impossible to hide it.
Just with this action of putting down the jade pot, Taoist Jiang Lin thought a lot.
What if... it was that Bear God who was talking nonsense and trying to slander the Lord of God?
Afterwards, he found an excuse to drive all his disciples out.
Looking at the statues enshrined in the temple, he lit three incense sticks and bowed.
"Disciple Jiang Lin, please come to see Lord Tongli."
The voice just fell.
Buzz~!
A golden light shone in the field of vision, and along with it appeared the jade book that was neither real nor imaginary.
[Spirit: Tongli (no virtue)]
[One of the gods of the Dharma Department, responsible for exorcising demons and monsters...]
【authority:……】
【…】
[Current status: Can be summoned, can be controlled, can be a slave]
The divine power was as mighty as a prison, and the vast divine light covered the sky and filled the entire Taoist temple. A four-armed golden-armored deity stepped out from it.
……
……
On the top of the mountain, Xu Xing watched the entire "praying to the spirits" ceremony until the Lord Tongli arrived in person.
"My friend, you have a bad taste."
What we are referring to is naturally the system interface-like thing formed by the simultaneous operation of the four methods.
"Just adapting to the times." Hong Zun said with a smile, "After all, the opportunities obtained by the 'Introduction' are varied, and the inheritance I pass on to this young generation must also be a little innovative."
He is not an old antique who stands still. For example, the framework of the "Spiritual Network" in the central continent of Taixuan Realm was designed by him.
After a pause, Hong Zun continued:
"Why don't you help a younger generation up and see who can go further, brother?"
Hearing this, Xu Xing raised his eyes and looked into the distance.
"Let's wait and see. Just go with the flow."
If there is a suitable one, give it a try.
If not, then forget it, the focus should still be on cutting off the connection.
Everything in this world, even the change of the immortal world, can only be regarded as an insignificant prelude to this process.
…………
In the Taoist temple, the vast divine light has begun to converge.
But there was still auspicious clouds rising, and the sound of chanting echoed in the void, magnificent and sacred.
When gods travel, they have their own ceremonial processions. If they are just ordinary and have no special features, how can we prove the supreme power of the gods?
Showing divine power and vision is the simplest way to attract worshippers.
Taoist Jiang Lin's expression remained unchanged.
Under normal circumstances, if he met the God descending to the world, he would naturally be respectful in both body and mind.
But now...
He simply couldn't be respectful to a god who had the title of "No Virtue" and was suspected of colluding with demons to kill him.
With a thought in his mind, the method of controlling gods began to work silently, and a wisp of divine power fell on the majestic Lord Tongli in front of him.
However, Lord Tongli did not notice this. He looked down at Taoist Jiang Lin, with a hint of confusion behind his divine eyes, but he concealed it very well.
He discovered it as early as when Taoist Jiang Lin came back.
However, because the events in Fuming County had caused some unrest in the Heavenly Palace, out of caution, he did not immediately go down to the mortal world to eliminate the hidden dangers.
"Jiang Lin, a cultivator from the lower realm..."
I wanted to say "Why did you call me?" as usual, but when the words came to my lips, they turned into:
"Why didn't you die?!"
Oops!
But it was what he thought deep in his heart.
This is the magic of the method of controlling gods. Gods like Tongli Shenjun, whose power all comes from the Shinto system, cannot counter it at all.
Taoist Jiang Lin felt increasingly disappointed.
He took a deep breath, and then explained as if he hadn't heard what he had just said, "I heard that a bear demon was doing evil in a place, keeping humans captive and eating them for fun, so I killed it."
"I never thought that his brother was actually the mountain god of Guashan, and came to seek revenge on his disciple."
"My power was exhausted at the time, and I had younger disciples to protect, so I had no choice but to take in more spiritual energy than I was entitled to and slay the God of No Virtue."
"I know I have committed a grave sin, but I have done nothing wrong. I beg you to show mercy."
Lord Tongli wanted to say something polite, but when the words came to his lips, they turned into:
"How dare you! The elder brother of the Guashan Mountain God has been collecting incense for me, working diligently, so what's the big deal about him swallowing a few mortals!"
"You old Taoist priest are pedantic and arrogant. You dare to steal the soul refining method, kill the gods, and make arbitrary comments on the right and wrong of the gods. I will definitely extract the souls and refine the spirits from your Yunhai Temple to correct the law!"
The originally righteous Lord Tongli became hideous and ferocious, and Taoist Jiang Lin stared at him in a daze.
After all, he was a god worshipped by generations, so before this, he had held some unrealistic expectations.
Everything that happened before was said by the mountain god of Gua Mountain.
What if the soul-stealing talisman was stolen by the Bear God? What if all the things the Bear God said were meant to slander the Lord Tongli...
After a long silence, Jiang Lin raised his hand tremblingly:
"You were worshipped by the world and enjoyed the incense of the world before you ascended to the throne of God, but now, unexpectedly...!"
"It is a great honor for me, as mere mortals, to be able to sacrifice my lives to help me collect incense and offerings!" Lord Tongli said coldly.
Under the influence of the Divine Control Technique, he could not hide what he was thinking at all.
After taking several deep breaths, Taoist Jiang Lin finally calmed down.
"Sir, can't you really let my disciples go?"
"How can you alone vent the anger in my heart?"
Words came out uncontrollably, and Lord Tongli was panicking to death. He wished he could grind the old Taoist in front of him into ashes, but he was sad to find that he could not move at all.
"Just to vent your anger, isn't the Lord of God afraid of being held accountable by the supervisory priests?"
"Oh, I just sent two taels of merit to the local supervisory priest's mansion the day before yesterday. How could he embarrass me for such a small matter?"
Little things...
After hearing this, Taoist Jiang Lin finally gave up, and his expression seemed somewhat painful.
"Why are you forcing me..."
Why? He was clearly ready to die for his disciple...
When he looked up again, his eyes were full of determination!
Suck~!
Just a breath!
Boom boom!
I saw rolling spiritual energy surging from all directions, turning into a tornado hanging above the Yunhai Temple.
The Taoist priests of Yunhai Temple, the supervisory priests of the place, and even all the living beings within a few miles saw this scene.
Just like a whale sucking water, the rolling tornado of spiritual energy was swallowed up by the old Taoist in one gulp.
In an instant, the almost exhausted magic power became abundant, the shriveled meridians were nourished, and even the golden elixir that had dimmed a lot became dazzling again.
And the Shinto imprint in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, after being refined by the "God-Swallowing Technique", became a pure Shinto origin.
"The power of the unvirtuous is weak, summon them quickly!" (End of this chapter)
