Chapter 212: The Dharma of the Supreme Jade Morning Lingbao Dao Origin Register

~29 min read 5,687 words

Many Daoists, including Wang Mintong, did not see these lonely ghosts and wandering spirits, and continued to chant scriptures and recite incantations.

"How do you wish to be saved?" Xu Jia asked.

The leader of these two lonely ghosts and wandering spirits said: "We have also received some nectar and some money and grain before, but these always have a time when they run out. I have heard that only if one can obtain some scriptures is there a possibility of escaping the sea of suffering and sinking. We hope the Dharma Master can bestow some Dharma Treasure upon us."

Thereupon, those one or two thousand lonely ghosts and wandering spirits said one after another: "Indeed, we beg the Dharma Master to bestow some Dharma Treasure upon us, so that we may have a means of reliance to maintain clarity and spirit, not fall into the Nine Netherworlds, and not be lost in the Three Paths."

Xu Jia nodded and immediately said: "I have a scroll of scripture, named the 'Lingbao Immeasurable Superior Duren Sutra'. Chanting this scripture can make rivers and seas silent, cause mountains to hide clouds, summon the sun and moon to stop their course, command the celestial mechanism to cease, order the host of demons to bind their forms, threaten ghost spirits to extinguish their souls, and possesses immeasurable Merit, enabling the return of corpses to life and white bones to become human."

"You all, in holding this Dharma Treasure, must be cautious and respectful, with sincere intent and devotion, to move the Three Heavens Demon Kings and the Five Directions Supreme Emperors to receive and transform you, so that you will naturally not fall into reincarnation."

Immediately, Xu Jia opened his mouth to recite the incantation; in reality, there was no sound, but within the Dharma Realm, one person was equal to thousands, the voice grand and immense, as if Heavenly Humans and Benevolent Gods were chanting along with him.

"At that time, the Savior of Suffering Heavenly Venerable filled the ten directions. Always using his mighty divine power, he saves all sentient beings, enabling them to leave the lost path. Sentient beings are unaware, like the blind seeing the sun and moon. I am originally from the Great Void, pulling and leading the boundless. Auspicious clouds open the gate of life, auspicious smoke fills the gate of death. First initiating the Profound Origin, to connect with the auspicious mechanism, saving all sins, and delivering from all disasters (this is the Sutra of Saving Suffering and Pulling from Sin)."

Having spoken, he began the Gatha of Saving Suffering from the scripture.

Xu Jia then recited the scripture incantation: "The Dao is vast, the Immortal Dao is boundless, the Ghost Dao is joyful. When one is born, it is the gate of life; the Immortal Dao values life, the Ghost Dao values the end. The Immortal Dao is always auspicious, the Ghost Dao is always ominous. The high and clear spirits sing sadly in the vast space. I only wish for the Immortal Dao to be achieved, not for the Human Dao to be exhausted. In the Northern Capital's Spring-Curve Mansion, there are ten thousand ghost groups. They only wish to block human calculations and cut off the gate of human life. I sing the Cave Chapter to control the Northern Luofeng. Binding and sending away the demon spirits, beheading the six ghost blades. The Qi of the heavens is vast and mighty, and my Dao flourishes day by day."

Yet Xu Jia visualized the Divine Transformation of the Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun; within the Dharma Realm, a nine-headed five-colored lion descended from the East Heavenly Gate, green lotus leaves swayed around his body, and a Lotus Platform formed from beneath his feet.

But as Xu Jia chanted, some profound and mysterious things began to disappear. There is a reason why these lonely ghosts and wandering spirits became such; as the saying goes, pitiful people must have their hateful aspects. Forcibly saving them depends on whether your backing is strong, whether your Merit is sufficient, whether your Dharma Power is thick, and whether you have the wisdom and vow-power to resolve their Cause and Effect.

Xu Jia only felt that the more he chanted, the tighter his chest became, the shorter his breath, and his mind wandered, unable to concentrate. Several times he was about to mispronounce words, but he could only pull himself together.

Yet he saw that among these lonely ghosts and wandering spirits, those with shallow Cause and Effect and karmic obstacles soon received the Dharma Treasure, a golden book manifested in their hands, and they began to chant along.

But the two leaders were struggling and in pain; flames began to ignite on their bodies, and the Dharma Treasure, upon landing in their hands, was burned away by these flames, unable to be received at all. These two were none other than the two people who were gored to death by the Green Ox Spirit and burned to death by Sheng Ying. In their previous lives, they were shamans and sorcerers who performed "abdominal dissection to seek rain," thus incurring karmic obstacles. They had also studied the Dharma, barely counting as "Wandering Masters" or "Yin Masters."

It was precisely they who incited all the lonely ghosts and wandering spirits, wanting to use Xu Jia's hand to receive refinement and remove their karmic obstacles.

"Clang!"

Wang Mintong saw that after Xu Jia ascended the altar, his eyes became vacant and his body stiff, and at this moment there was even some cold sweat. As a Dharma Official, he naturally knew what this situation was. The Heavenly Master Register has three levels of Demon Examination; only by passing the Demon Examination can one be acknowledged. It is just that the three levels of Demon Examination are different for everyone, and there are too many Heavenly Gods and Saints who can descend to the mortal world to act as examiners.

However, he remained calm and did not stop the Register Conferment ceremony. The ceremony was already very complex, so there was no need to rush this moment.

Thereupon, he began to call names according to the ceremony of the Dragon and Tiger Three Altars Great Offering, which meant calling out the gods who could come to this altar one by one to recite the eulogies. It is true that Xu Jia set up three hundred and sixty-five offering positions, but these three hundred and sixty-five main gods also have attendant gods and secondary generals. If the Great God does not come, you can substitute for them to hold the meeting and fill the shift.

It was also because he had read the Daoist Canon thoroughly and was proficient in the Three Caves that he was able to handle it with ease. The Daoists of Shanju Guan had never presided over this before and did not know what problem had arisen here.

On the contrary, the surrounding demons and spirits, who were in tune with Xu Jia's heart, silently recited incantations one by one. Xu Jia had not taught them the Lingbao scripture incantations, so they used the ones Xu Jia had taught them.

Among them, Xu Mu was even more connected to Xu Jia as mother and son, and for a moment she felt flustered, so she asked Hui Zhuo: "What is wrong with Jia'er?"

Hui Zhuo guessed: "Perhaps he had a communion with heaven and earth after ascending the altar? It is so high here, on the mountain!"

He looked up at the sky. The altar area had just been clear for ten thousand miles, without clouds and with little wind, but now a mass of fog had gathered, and the air had become humid; perhaps it would rain later.

Chang Yu stood tall, looking into the distance, as if sensing something.

And Xu Jia on the altar was still chanting the scripture incantations.

Now only these two ghosts remained, and they said: "Dharma Master, why haven't you refined us yet? Why is your Dharma Treasure useless!"

Their faces became increasingly terrifying, the fire burning on their bodies turned their skin into charcoal, their bellies began to swell, their limbs became like thin bamboo branches, and their throats turned into the size of needles.

Xu Jia suddenly opened his eyes: "I have already chanted the scripture incantations. Whether you ascend to heaven or fall into Hell is not something I can decide. In the darkness, there is already an arrangement!"

"Saving suffering is the business of the Savior of Suffering Lord, and pardoning sins is the business of the Earth Official Great Emperor. You have committed unforgivable sins and pray to be saved and escape karmic obstacles, but this is not sincere intent and devotion; how can I save you?"

The two ghosts said: "You cannot abandon us! I have heard that forgiveness is the greatest Merit. As long as the original owner can forgive us, we still have a chance."

"They let go of their hatred long ago. These karmic obstacles and evil fires are your own doing; you cannot live."

After Xu Jia finished speaking, the Lotus Platform turned into a Demon King's throne, and the Green Lotus Pure Land turned into a Hungry Ghost Hell.

These two hungry ghosts fell into Hell, wailing in pain and loudly scolding: "Since you don't have the ability to refine, why be a Heavenly Master? This little bit of Dharma Power is useless; not only did you not save suffering, but you also let us fall into Hell."

"Good has good rewards, and evil has evil rewards. Although I have not seen it, I cannot act wrongly in my hands. If, no matter what one has done, one can have the same good results and enjoy being a Heavenly Human just by being refined, then where would the reward of good and evil be, following like a shadow?"

"Would that not be trampling on Heavenly Principle? Disregarding the Yin Law? To form an alliance with Ghost Gods is to abide by the rules, and this first Ghost God Cause and Effect Law is that good and evil have rewards!"

After Xu Jia finished scolding, he immediately felt that the chest tightness and shortness of breath from the forced refinement just now had eased, and he felt suddenly enlightened. At the same time, the "Ghost Contract was signed," and from then on, all ghosts within his jurisdiction would be punished according to the law.

Xu Jia opened his eyes and looked around, seeing that the Daoists were still chanting the scriptures, and only then did he relax. It seems this hurdle has passed; it was so dangerous, it felt a bit like the Demon Examination of a previous life. Xu Jia did not know that this was the Demon Examination, and it was only the first level.

As for why Wang Mintong did not mention such an important matter, it was naturally because Xu Jia himself did not ask.

The Register Conferment ceremony continued, the fog dissipated, and the sun came out again.

Wang Mintong saw this and nodded slightly, so he secretly accelerated the process, omitting some dispensable ceremonies.

Waiting until the chanting of the divine names was finished, he stepped forward to support Xu Jia: "Later, I will say a sentence, and you will say a sentence. If you need to kneel, then kneel; if you need to bow, then bow. This is to let the Heavenly Saints all know that such a person as you has appeared in the world today."

"We, the subjects, humbly hear that the Profound Transformation is divided, transcending the Zhen region. Crowning the head of the Five Elements, being the first of the four seasons. Promoting the Imperial Dao so that all things arise, spreading benevolence and virtue so that all directions are fulfilled. Now, there is respectfully the Heavenly Master Register Altar Great Offering Master Xu Jia, who wishes to repay the creation and apologize for his faults. Leading with sincerity, following the ritual formula. The Five Directions each have five sections, each forty-nine feet long, forty-nine pairs of Jade Rings, forty-nine mirrors, forty-nine sets of pure red concentric knots, forty-nine lamps, and forty-nine sets of money, horses, and food. Taking refuge in the Eastern Infinite Supreme Lingbao Heavenly Venerable, the Nine Qi Heavenly Lord, and the Eastern Village Immortal Gods and all Lingguan."

"Stealing a glance at the hazy teachings, the wonderful use is hard to measure; the lonely and quiet methods, the changes are unpredictable. Shining on the early sun and facing the eight poles, flowing with the vast Qi and covering the nine heavens. Observing the sincere heart below, receiving the grace of the pavilion and poison above. For nine generations and seven lives, the name is on the Purple Text. For the present clan, the merit is titled on the Green Register. Always meeting the holy fortune, forever enjoying the Yao Heaven. All sentient beings with consciousness receive the mysterious protection. After achieving the Dao, ascending into the formless. Harmonizing and becoming one with the Dao."

Xu Jia chanted along, and he saw that the sky suddenly produced strange phenomena. First, golden dragons opened the path and circled, then the Qi of purple clouds filled the Sanqing Mountain territory, paving a cloud realm, and then phoenixes also appeared, and Jade Boys and Yu Nv filed out from a ripple.

The previous dragons and phoenixes transformed into the appearance of adult men, wearing dragon skirts and feathered robes. There were also incense boys holding Incense Burners, the incense reaching the nine heavens, and Yu Nv scattering bells, the sound heard by five hundred million, resounding through all spirits.

This honor guard could not be called grand, but then the three lights appeared together, the nine Qi were in harmony, and then a mat appeared. Sitting on the mat was a middle-aged Daoist with a beautiful beard. Beside that Daoist were honor guards, one holding a Canopy, two holding long banners, and some other things that Xu Jia did not recognize. But he saw many more saints coming out from this ripple, lining up to the left and right of this Venerable God, three rows and eight columns, twenty-four in total. And more saints appeared, forming a circular arc, continuing to guard, either in high places or low places, but they were also standing in three rows, corresponding one by one.

Xu Jia saw that these saints corresponded exactly to the three hundred and sixty-five True Gods, and the middle-aged Daoist with a beautiful beard sitting on the mat seemed to be a "Heavenly Venerable." Only a "Heavenly Venerable" could make these deities bow and worship.

Xu Jia was truly stunned this time. Although receiving the Heavenly Master Register was a big deal, and I did indeed list and respectfully invite so many gods, I didn't expect you to really come! And in the real world, Xu Jia began his second level of stagnation.

This was also a Demon Examination, known as the "Wonderful Realm of God Immortals."

Yet one of the saints said: "Lower-world student, why don't you come forward to pay homage to the Heavenly Venerable!"

"This is precisely the Supreme Clarity High Saint Supreme Dao Lord personally transmitting the register to you to enter this gate, bestowing upon you the Great Cave True Scripture, the supreme secret essentials, the Lingbao middle alliance, and the Great Vehicle teaching and salvation."

"The Heavenly Venerable follows the world to save people. From the opening of light by the Primordial Origin until the first year of Chiming, after nine thousand nine hundred billion kalpas, the number of people saved is like the sand of the Ganges, immeasurable. Whenever encountering people like you who have affinity and love learning, if you ask questions, he does not hesitate to teach. The Heavenly Venerable has thirty-six changes and seventy-two transformations. If people want to see him, he responds according to their feelings. He can divide his body and arrive in thousands of places. Now that you have received the Register, the Heavenly Venerable senses it, so he follows and starts the ritual carriage to save you and make you an Immortal."

Xu Jia looked, and the saint who spoke was a Female Lord, with two others beside her. These three were wearing plain skirts, goose-yellow skirts, and light purple skirts, respectively.

Xu Jia recognized that these were the "Three Pure Origin Lords," White Pure Origin Lord, Yellow Pure Origin Lord, and Purple Pure Origin Lord.

The Three Pure Origin Lords are the divine women needed for visualization in the "Supreme Clarity Great Cave True Scripture." Among them, White Pure and Purple Pure are the deities in charge of "left and right," while Yellow Pure is the mother of the Central Yellow Old Lord, acting as the "coordinate axis origin" of the Dao. If one does not cultivate properly, one will not be able to distinguish left from right, or even front from back, east, west, south, and north, losing all sense of direction. Losing the sense of direction means one cannot respond to heaven above and earth below.

More importantly, these three Origin Lords also correspond to the "Three Primes" and are the mothers of the organ gods.

Although Xu Jia did not really believe that he could summon these Immortal Gods, everyone feels deep down that they are not ordinary, that they are the protagonist, and that this one-in-ten-thousand chance would fall on them. Moreover, the Lingbao Heavenly Venerable...

So Xu Jia bowed sincerely. But when he lowered his head, he suddenly discovered that one of the boys was giggling, and the Heavenly Venerable on the seat always had one expression, not speaking or moving. Except for being a bit realistic, he seemed like a wooden puppet.

Xu Jia then temporarily delayed the bowing and asked, "This student previously passed the Immortal Demon Examination once, and two Immortals came to guide me: one was Shen Gong, and the other was Qingtong Jun. Today, a ritual is being set up, and the names of these two masters are listed; I wonder if the two masters are present?"

Upon hearing this, Origin Lord Sansu was slightly stunned: "The Heavenly Venerable is here; you should pay your respects to the Heavenly Venerable first, then speak of other things!"

Xu Jia's book of cultivation had referenced "Journey to the West." In "Journey to the West," there is a tribulation called "Little Western Heaven." When Tang Seng arrived at the Xiao Leiyin Si in Little Western Heaven, he saw the Tathagata. Thinking he had already reached the Western Heaven, he hurriedly bowed, only to be captured immediately; in an instant, the solemn Pure Land transformed into a demon cave.

Xu Jia also recalled what Wang Mintong had said earlier: one is first initiated into the Orthodox One Department, then the Lingbao Department, and finally the Shangqing Department.

He was supposed to receive the Celestial Master Register, but this was releasing an ultimate move, wanting to transmit the Great Cave True Scripture. The Great Cave True Scripture is the specific cultivation method for guiding one to become an Immortal and is the source of internal alchemy methods. If one could directly cultivate it, it would be an ascension and leaving behind traces. Moreover, with Lingbao Heavenly Venerable here to guide him, Xu Jia did not believe he had such prestige. The thoughts that had just been almost bewitched were now three parts clearer.

Thus, he said again: "Last time, the two examiners taught me a 'Taishang Lingbao Dao Origin Verification Chapter.' I have gained some understanding, but I still have some questions. I have long heard that the Heavenly Venerable is generous with his teachings; I ask that you explain the scripture and preach the Dharma. This student is willing to offer three dou and three sheng of gold to Lingbao!"

After Xu Jia finished speaking, a greedy expression that could not be hidden immediately appeared on the Origin Lord who was speaking. He opened his mouth and said: "How can the Heavenly Venerable's preaching be sold cheaply?" He actually opened his mouth like a lion, wanting to haggle.

Xu Jia instantly straightened his back and scolded: "You border demons! Why do you not retreat quickly!" Having said this, he rushed forward, actually soared into the air, reached the clouds, and kicked the Heavenly Venerable over.

Those boys and Yu Nv screamed, then transformed into painted-skin skeletons and dissipated. That Origin Lord also transformed into his original form, which was precisely the three demons of Greed, Anger, and Ignorance.

The kicked-over Heavenly Venerable transformed into an Authority Demon. He was furious: "You dare to blaspheme the Sage!"

Xu Jia looked at them and shouted coldly: "This Daoist seeks the Dao but does not follow the path; if a god comes, I kill the god; if a Buddha comes, I slay the Buddha. There is nothing to believe in or fear!"

Xu Mu previously said: To cultivate Buddha is to cultivate oneself.

Just now, Wang Mintong also said that seeking the Dao is to explore the original self. These acquired perceptions and bewitchments are not as good as one's own wisdom.

Realizing and realizing, it all ends in emptiness; learning and learning, only the heart is the true transmission.

These four demons looked at each other. At this moment, the illusion was no longer controlled by them; Xu Jia had taken the initiative.

Xu Jia pointed at each of them, unleashed a Sword of Wisdom, and beheaded them.

Only then did he slowly chant a poem: "Gains and losses are sought by oneself, honor and disgrace devour each other. Vermilion and purple mix with black and yellow, the Great Plain values the colorless. The abyss is calm, embodying the Great Dao; colors transform, sharing the same news. Leaving behind weakness, one loses the natural; the Heavenly Truth is hard to harmonize."

After chanting, he secretly thought: Could it be that I am also going to be called a Venerable? How did I catch the habit of chanting poems?

Xu Jia woke up again here, and Wang Mintong congratulated him: "You have passed the second Demon Examination; how gratifying and congratulatory!"

Xu Jia said: "There won't be a third time, will there? Is the Celestial Master of your Longhu Mountain this troublesome?"

"That is naturally not the case. Our Longhu Mountain's Celestial Master position is passed down from our ancestors; yours is not. Only by being diligent, brave, and moving forward, and being able to see through all demons, can one avoid being bewitched and achieve the status of Celestial Master."

However, Xu Jia had just seen through the illusion and completed a second thing, which was the Divine Path Covenant. These so-called Heavenly Gods can be Heavenly Gods, or they can be Heavenly Demons; it all depends on the human heart. If the human heart is evil, demons, ghosts, and monsters are in the human world; if the human heart is upright, the Great Dao is mixed and complete, and the world is full of virtuous people who cultivate the truth, possessing the courage to fight against gods rather than blindly sacrificing and flattering. This exactly fits the original spirit of the Celestial Master Dao: all the holy gods of heaven—I believe in you, and only then do you have status; I do not believe in you, and you are just a licentious evil, just an old ghost.

Next was the formal Register Conferment.

Xu Jia held three sticks of incense, lit one for each of the three spirit tablets, then handed up the Celestial Master Register. Wang Mintong wrote down the name, stamped it with the Celestial Master Seal, returned it to Xu Jia, read it aloud once, and announced it to Heaven and Earth. This was the recognition of Xu Jia's Celestial Master status.

But things were destined not to be so smooth. There were twists and turns; the previous two were internal demons, and now external demons had arrived.

He saw black Qi surging from the north. It turned out that the old raven from before was a scout, a clone possessed by a Dharma King. After being subdued and having his Outer Path original body restrained by Xu Jia last time, he was somewhat wary of Xu Jia. These days, he had also been accumulating strength. He had long seen the Altar Opening arrangements at Yushan, but Chang Yu was guarding it; unless he acted personally, others could not defeat him.

Chang Yu was entirely black. To this Dharma King, he was the Great Python God among the Eight Heavenly Dragons, Mahoraga; this was a python god, also called an Earth Dragon.

Mainly, Chang Yu also had nearly five hundred years of Daoist Practice, cultivating the Gen-Peak Breath-Swallowing Method, absorbing the Earth Spirit of Yushan, and his body grew infinitely, giving people a sense of immense pressure.

And if he came to destroy the altar site himself, he was not sure he could subdue Chang Yu, let alone Xu Jia.

Therefore, he polluted and evil-fied all the deities of Changde, detaining them as Outer Path followers to obey his orders. Originally, he calculated that on the tenth day after the last Dharma battle, the altar would be built and the opponent would attack. He had prepared a response: in the Dexing Dharma battle, he would not lose because he had three evil Flood Dragons underground to help. That time was exactly the Dragon Boat Festival, the Flying Dragon in the Sky.

But he did not expect Xu Jia to invite Wang Mintong. Because Wang Mintong did not cultivate Dharma Power but only cultivated Daoist Practice, he was not calculated by him.

As a result, Xu Jia directly received the Register three days earlier than expected. The evil Flood Dragons would not be born early, so he lacked the Heavenly Timing. Only by abandoning the Earthly Advantage of Dexing and taking the initiative to attack could he obstruct Xu Jia. Otherwise, if the Register Conferment succeeded—others might not be clear, but this Dharma King was clear—back when Buddhism and Daoism fought, many who cultivated the intermediate-yin achievement were cursed to death by the Longhu Mountain Celestial Master. The Longhu Mysterious Curse is specifically aimed at this kind of nature and spirit; it can be detained, dispatched, and cursed to death.

So he rushed to obstruct; if he didn't come now, there would be no chance.

Within the black Qi were all Outer Path followers. These Outer Path followers were previously local deities of Dexing, or even ancestral spirits of ancestral halls, but they had completely lost their previous kindness and sense of holiness. The black Qi and scarlet Qi on their bodies came flooding in, covering the sky and the earth.

Subduing the "demons and ghosts," the final hurdle! Xu Jia understood in his heart and immediately picked up the Ruyi Suixin Rod, using the rod as a sword. He did not waste the "Lushan Thunder-Summoning Talisman" he had drawn earlier and shouted loudly: "Thunder God, assist me!"

Suddenly, a bolt of thunder struck down, landing on the Ruyi Suixin Rod, but it only stayed on the golden hoop of the rod and did not lead downward, transforming into an electric ball. Immediately, Xu Jia unleashed the "Fishing Toad Force" and swung the electric ball out with the rod. He saw another bolt of lightning fly out as if it had intelligence. As for the Dharma Realm view, it indeed turned into a purple Flood Dragon, emitting a dragon roar and heading toward the black Qi.

At the same time, Xu Jia said: "Hu Jinhua, Huang Pipo, come up to the altar!"

The two demons were originally baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, already starting to deal with the Outer Path evil gods. Hearing this, they hurriedly came under the altar. Xu Jia said, handing them the refined Fire Dragon Pill: "These are thunder pills I improved based on the Tiangang Great Sage Thunder Law. Use them in coordination with Sheng Ying. You go and subdue these Outer Path followers!"

Immediately, Xu Jia said again: "Where is the Yushan Mountain God Chang Yu! Stop this monster!"

Chang Yu replied: "I am here!"

The lightning just swung out struck the Vajravarahi in the center of the black Qi, but that Vajravarahi held an axe and used the axe to split it. Thus, the lightning split into two, hitting the two Outer Path followers on her left and right. One was thin and tall; below the head was a bamboo pole. The bamboo pole hopped and jumped, with long hair, a long tongue, and ghastly white teeth.

This was a "Nuo God" worshipped in a certain place in Changde. Now that it had become an Outer Path follower, it was terrifying and gloomy. It liked to use a bamboo pole to pierce into a person's anus, poke through the chin, and then prop it into the head, separating the head and body.

It is rumored to be transformed from a general who was "beheaded" in ancient times. The common people were afraid when they saw it and had nightmares, so they built temples to worship it, and later it also became a rural temple sacrifice.

This time, it was driven by this Dharma King.

Struck by the lightning, the bamboo pole immediately exploded, blooming section by section, exploding onto the head and emitting a miserable, strange scream.

It fell from mid-air, lost its strange appearance, and turned into fly ash.

The lightning on the other side struck another Outer Path follower. This Outer Path follower was covered in pustules; the upper body looked like a toad, the lower body looked like a yellow eel, and it had a human face, but it was white. It was also a local licentious offering, said to have the effect of curing skin diseases. The medical prescription passed down was yellow eel blood and a whole toad, calcined into ash, mixed with incense ash and egg white, and applied to the places with sores and spots, which could be cured very quickly. Locals called it the "Smallpox God."

At this time, it was churning up a wave of smallpox plague poison, surging up together. Struck by the lightning of the Lushan Thunder-Summoning Talisman, the smallpox on its body immediately exploded, like heated popcorn. The pus inside, like rainwater, scattered everywhere.

Landing on the ground, it became pollution.

"Little Daoist! You don't need to panic, I will deal with him!" He saw the original body of Hu Agui's "Huan Xi Jin Gang" appear, not knowing when. The pink skeleton wore a kasaya and held a Vajra Pestle symbolizing the male in its hand.

Hu Agui said: "I was waiting for you to help me cross the tribulation!"

He directly rushed up, hugged the Vajravarahi, and forcibly practiced the dual-body dual-operation. When the Vajravarahi saw this Diamond, she also felt a strong attraction sensed by that Dharma King.

Previously, the Dao Realm Yin Demon said that if Hu Agui harvested this Dharma King, he could achieve great success, but Xu Jia did not agree. He did not want Hu Agui to appear secretly.

Xu Jia shouted: "That Greed Demon is tricking you! This demon monk's Daoist Practice is higher than yours; perhaps the two of them have long been in collusion!"

However, Hu Agui could no longer hear anything. The Great Joy Offering Method and the Dharma King's Hai Mu Jin Gang had already entered the Blissful Yoga.

It was just that the Hai Mu Jin Gang was not only fine, but her aura became increasingly powerful. Instead, it was the original body of the Huan Xi Jin Gang that, because of the "offering," gave everything of himself to offer to the Hai Mu Jin Gang, and his color faded.

As for the other Outer Path followers, they were resisted by the little demons, Ghost Gods, and the Chang soldiers. If they had not been evil-fied, these gods would only be at the level of an Earth Deity, but after being evil-fied, they became taboos with rules for killing.

Chang Yu had to guard the altar site. It was not just that Xu Jia could not get away; even the Daoists of Shanju Guan, and even the Daoists invited from other places, could not stop their chanting and ritual procedures, otherwise, it would be a true failure of the Register Conferment.

Fortunately, the Tiangang Great Sage Outer Path God Thunder that Xu Jia had refined in advance was very useful against these Outer Path followers. The Outer Path followers did not know what this was, and as a result, they were directly bombed and smashed to pieces. Sheng Ying was held in Hu Jinhua's hand, and after swallowing a handful of Fire Dragon Pills, iron lotus seeds were spat out like a machine gun.

And this "pitter-patter" thunder-like sound eventually affected the Dharma Altar. The chanting voices of the two young Daoists began to tremble.

Wang Mintong then raised his voice: "Register Conferment!"

Xu Jia said loudly: "Disciple respectfully receives the Register method, and shall abide by the precepts!"

However, Wang Mintong did not hand the Register Text to Xu Jia, but instead threw it into the flames.

Xu Jia was shocked: "What are you doing?"

"The Register is a contract with Heaven and Earth, so why is this document necessary? I told you before, the ranks of the Register method run counter to Daoist philosophy!"

Xu Jia's first thought: You old man are scamming me; this Register was bought by me for three thousand taels, you were the one who sold it to me, and you are the one burning it! But the next moment, that mysterious light previously descended by Lingbao Heavenly Venerable directly merged with the topsy-turvy scriptures in Xu Jia's memory.

It evolved into a Register.

"Supreme Jade Dawn Lingbao Dao Origin Register!"

This Register was not within any of the twenty-four ranks of Register methods; it was a brand-new Register.

It was a Register belonging solely to Xu Jia.
