Chapter 419: Tracing the Source to Rectify the Origin

Spirit Qi turned into rain, shocking the old Earth Immortal Wang Jianguo; at the same time, the Dharma Power within his body condensed into a vortex, absorbing a massive amount of Spirit Qi.

It was as if a piece of land that had not been nourished for a long time was now welcoming spring.

At the very least, his Dharma Power began to match his own realm, and the aura of this Dongda Earth Immortal grew closer to that of an Earth Immortal from another world; the style shifted from folklore to Xianxia, and every movement seemed to possess great power.

This Feng Shui Array is a Gathering Qi Array, possessing the ability to swallow sea-like Qi; now that a small Spirit Vein has been successfully created, it has the effect of "gathering without dispersing."

These Spirit Machines made this San Francisco villa area a "Cave Heaven Blessed Land" in the true sense.

Even if a micro Spirit Vein corresponds at most to the Qi Refining level in mortal-stream novels, and a small one only corresponds to Foundation Establishment, which is the Human Immortal level.

But this is the key that unlocks the world's ascension.

It seems as if some shackles between heaven and earth have been broken; of course, it is opened the most here, and the further out one goes, the smaller the effect, but in general, the level of the entire world has become more spiritually active, and the difficulty of cultivation has been lowered by half a grade.

This kind of change is a change that affects the whole world; over in Dongda, the Cave Heaven Blessed Lands that originally had "natural Spirit Veins," namely the Seventy-Two Blessed Lands and Thirty-Six Grotto-Heavens, also began to manifest some vitality from their "exhausted" state.

In the depths of certain Cave Heaven Blessed Lands, in certain great tombs deep in the mountains and old forests, in the depths of caves in those no-man's lands...

All had unusual movements.

"The era of the End of Dharma is about to end, and a great age of cultivation is about to arrive."

The Star Official of the Dongda Qin Tian Jian also saw the Purple Star shine brightly, bringing the Big Dipper to emit light as well, and even two dim stars now faintly revealed brilliance.

From this moment on, sunlight, moonlight, and starlight—among these three lights of heaven—also began to contain some marvelous spirituality.

Nothing else, the world has begun to operate and ascend; slowly, it is to ascend from the first layer to the sixth layer. The spirituality of the sun, the moon, and the various Star Gods is filtered layer by layer; by the time it reaches the first layer of the Desire Realm, it was already increasingly scarce, but once it reaches the sixth layer, one can truly, in the real sense, draw upon the great power of the sun, moon, and stars to cultivate.

Xu Jia also suddenly sensed the gaze of the world's will; of course, this was not a malicious gaze, but the goodwill of a primitive spiritual nature. It was like a patient looking at a doctor.

When Xu Jia was creating micro-small Spirit Veins in another world before, he did not have this feeling. Perhaps that other world was not in an "End of Dharma cultivation" state; although it lacked dense Spirit Qi, it had the method of "Borrowing the False to Cultivate the True," and even the Spirit Machine was abundant, capable of raising many small demons and the like. It must have had natural "Spirit Veins" that were not yet exhausted, or perhaps it was already at a higher dimension, where as long as one did not court death, the spiritual rhyme scattered in the selfless light of the sun, moon, and stars alone was enough to nourish all things for cultivation.

Xu Jia also did not know the reason, and his understanding of the world's promotion mechanism was not thorough enough; after all, he does not cultivate the Divine Path.

"It's rising, it's rising!"

In the Dharma Realm Manor, those Underground Lords and Underground Commanders with Earthly Official positions were originally third-rank floating officials, but as the Spirit Vein was completed, the Dharma Realm Manor expanded instantly, from several dozen mu to over a hundred mu, and it was even faintly continuing to expand.

They, who presided over the Dharma Realm, also rose from third-rank Underground Lords to second-rank Underground Lords, and one even promoted to a first-rank Underground Lord. The next step is the Ninth Rank Earth Deity, where one can have a temple in the human world and manifest the Dharma Power of a Virtuous Deity.

More influence lies in the deep layers of the Dharma Realm, but it need not be described too much. Just at the moment of promotion, the Heavenly Dao will of the America Magic Nation began to instinctively loathe Tongtian Temple even more, and the Hell Seventy-two Demon Gods, who represent part of the will of the America Magic Nation, and even the many demons, devils, evil gods, and monsters not listed among them, all saw the changes here in their minds at this moment.

Whether in the Dharma Realm or in the reality of America, a large number of monsters and Evil Sect followers were rushing over like ants encountering a rotting corpse.

After absorbing a lot of Spirit Medicine, Wang Jianguo gradually calmed down, and his face looked ten years younger, appearing like a man in his forties instead of his fifties.

He then sighed with emotion: "So this is the true power of an Earth Immortal True Person. I have attained the achievement of Omniscience; it turns out that one can really see a person's whole life just by looking at them, and when a thought moves, the Dharma Realm moves."

Xu Jia said: "But if you leave here, unless you do not use Dharma Power, you will return to your original state once you recover, at most a little better. Shallow water cannot raise a true dragon."

"However, I can teach this method of creating Spirit Veins and improving the cultivation environment to Dongda for free. I only hope that Dongda can give me a famous mountain or great river to serve as an Ancestral Court Daochang; after all, no matter how good America is, and no matter how much is invested, it is not the center of the world."

Wang Jianguo asked: "Isn't this a method for God Immortals? Furthermore, Dongda's Humanity Law is extremely strictly suppressed. How does that saying go? After the founding of the nation, no spirits are allowed to become sentient."

"Even if we create micro Spirit Veins in Dongda, the difficulty is immense. First, finding an Earthly vein requires the soul to leave the body, but Dongda's laws suppress everything, making it very difficult for the soul to leave the body. Second, in the deep layers of the Dharma Realm, there are many monsters, and a soul that has left the body is fragile; I fear it would be difficult to achieve."

"Third, the candidates capable of connecting to the Spirit Vein..."

Xu Jia nodded: "China has its own national conditions; I understand. The difficulty is even greater than in a Magic Nation like America, but this is all based on unofficial circumstances. If it can be a state-approved project, then naturally the green light will be given all the way. As the saying goes, without the support of the state ruler, it is difficult to establish Dharma affairs. Never mind a state project; even a local project would have much less difficulty—just treat it as developing a scenic area. Secondly, regarding the problem of the soul leaving the body in the Dharma Realm, one can only use rituals. If the quality is insufficient, make up for it with quantity. If there is a Daoist group following the format of the Great Offering of the Heavens, it would be enough to purify a Pure Land, forming a sufficient energy field to temporarily resist China's Humanity Law suppression. Then, experts can have their souls leave their bodies and drill into the Dharma Realm to build. With the blessing of so many scriptures and incantations, the Dharma Realm will have the blessing of Lingguan and the protection of Spirit Generals; no matter how fierce the Dharma Realm monsters are, they will not be able to fight."

"Furthermore, I have a set of mature Register Methods here. If we slaughter a few more American evil gods and Demon Gods and intercept their Divine Nature, teaching the Lingbao Register Method to people like Guo Zhanghai can assist in cultivation."

Xu Jia had already thought of several ideas to solve the problem of starting cultivation in Dongda.

Wang Jianguo thought about it: "Indeed, we are the Dongda Qin Tian Jian and can reach the ears of heaven, but if it goes this way, it won't be a matter of first creating a place for cultivation..."

"I know." Xu Jia nodded: "If there were ten thousand Long Life Pills, they would certainly not fall to you or me. Those who use Spirit Veins to nourish themselves will inevitably be high-ranking officials and nobles, but I am no longer a person of this world, and I will not monopolize it."

"Your Qin Tian Jian can discuss with the various Daoist sects to send cultivators at the Human Immortal stage—those who have completed the Small Heavenly Circuit or even entered the Great Heavenly Circuit realm—to form an exchange group to come to America to learn, just like today. Of course, I will also send disciples to various sects to exchange and teach."

Xu Jia said: "Actually, the Humanity Law does not conflict with it at all. It can even be used in the military first, then popularized to the public. In ten or twenty years, tell the people the truth about cultivation... start learning Qi Refining from compulsory education."

Wang Jianguo could not imagine: "What would that become?"

Xu Jia smiled: "Let's pass it to you, Junior Brother, first."

Xu Jia pointed, and seven related Register Methods merged into one complete "Register," namely the Earth Immortal Micro Spirit Vein Blessed Land Register Method.

When the Register was transmitted, Wang Jianguo subconsciously wanted to resist, but sensing there was no malice and that it was indeed corresponding knowledge, he accepted it. He just did not dare to store this Register in his mind, but stored it in his Qi Sea instead; if there were any changes, his Dharma Power would destroy it.

"This Register can be divided into seven. Of course, one-seventh is the Yin Yang Five Elements. Naturally, the Five Elements can also be further subdivided into the Dharma Realm Yin Five Elements and the current world's Yang Five Elements. These combinations, Yin and Yang, can also be divided into Lesser Yin, Lesser Yin, Sun, and Lesser Yang."

"If one wants to view the External Scene as a human body, one can even divide it further according to the logic of the Twelve Main Meridians, into Jueyin and Yangming."

"The delegation from Dongda this time is all skilled in cultivation and meets the criteria. Can they all be taught this Register Method?"

Xu Jia nodded: "Those who came for the exchange last time were all given the Lingbao Register Method. This does not conflict with the original sect's Register Method; just treat it as a functional Outer Register."

Wang Jianguo sighed: "Senior Brother is truly selfless; no wonder you could cultivate to the Pure Yang realm with an unblemished heart. When I return, I will certainly report to the Dongda imperial court to request a reward for you and find a famous mountain to build a Daochang."

Xu Jia said: "It is best to be in the coastal areas of the southeast. There is no need for any very famous mountain; even a mountainous area in a county or a mountainous area on an island is enough, as long as there is enough to build a small temple."

"Don't you still have a Xu Shigong Temple in Min?"

Xu Jia said: "That is under the jurisdiction of the underworld and also within Dongda's laws. I cannot descend there, and it is not an orthodox temple; the Dongda imperial court cannot confer a title."

"It can be certified." Wang Jianguo said: "The local cultural research institute and religious affairs bureau can trace the source for you, like those temples that hang signs saying they are the Ancestral Court of the Zen Sect, the Caodong Ancestral Court, the Faxiang Ancestral Court..."

"Take the Mazu temple for example; it was just a small temple at first, but now it has also been conferred a title by the Dongda imperial court to clarify the source and indicate orthodoxy. That is, the overseas Mazu faith must come to the Ancestral Court every year to worship and exchange, linking overseas compatriots, and even those in Taiwan."

"Your Ancestral Master Temple is not difficult to elevate. Just this method of creating Spirit Veins is enough to elevate you as the orthodox Ancestral Master of the Lushan Sect, and you can ask your disciples to go back and preside over the Lushan Sect, or even separate it from the Zhengyi Sect."

Xu Jia corrected: "The Lushan Daoist lineage was my past lineage, but now I am of the Lingbao Daoist lineage. The Xu Ancestral Master Temple would not be appropriate. The Lingbao Daoist lineage has disappeared in China for many years, and only a few things have been repaired by later generations, but it is not the authentic one. I hope that, like the reappearance of the Eastern Esoteric Buddhism of the Buddhist sect back then, it will first be transmitted from America to Hong Kong—my eldest grand-disciple is from Hong Kong—and then from Hong Kong, return to the Guang and Min regions, and even separate Lushan from Zhengyi and incorporate it into Lingbao."

"Isn't the Shangqing Daoist lineage Lingbao?"

"That is different." Xu Jia said: "The Shangqing Register Method and the Lingbao Register Method are two completely different things; the Shangqing Dao Method and the Lingbao Dao Method are also two completely different things."

Wang Jianguo heard this: "I will submit Senior Brother's request. It's just that the state is strictly conservative in its review of religion. It might first be in the form of a scenic area, allocating a piece of land to you. Later, you can apply for the Lingbao Ancestral Court, or we can find some archaeological experts to endorse you. After all, this method is indeed very useful."

Xu Jia smiled: "I have learned a lot in another world and can continue to interact in the future. I hope Dongda can also fund my continued growth in America."
