As Zhang Liang stepped onto the rainbow bridge step by step, countless ghosts appeared around him, flowing between life and death in black and white. Most of them had hideous faces that didn't look like humans, some had the characteristics of hybrids between humans and beasts, some were simply ferocious beasts and demons, and some were mutated humans with green faces and fangs. These ghosts were wrapped in the power of faith, which turned into all kinds of strange phenomena, such as chains, banners, ritual tools, whips, conch horns, small drums, gongs …
In the black and white air, these ghosts wailed and wriggled, looking like a hundred ghosts walking in a day, evil ghosts coming out of their cages.
The evil spirits were shackled by the chains formed by the power of incense and the black and white banners drove them away. The long whips whipped the evil spirits that approached Zhang Liang and wanted to devour him. There was also the sound of the conch horn, the small drum, and the gong. When the evil spirits heard it, they all revealed pained expressions and were driven away. They knelt on the rainbow bridge and worshipped Prince Bo Jun on the white jade platform!
As they knelt, the Power of Will they carried with them surged towards Bo Jun, turning into heavenly flowers with faint golden divine power that sprinkled down on Bo Jun's body. Crown Prince Bo Jun also felt refreshed after being affected by the godly energy.
Fan Wu Jie was shocked, "Does the Way of Peace want to die?"
"How dare they enslave souls! How dare they enslave souls in front of the inspectors of the Heavenly Court? Do they think the Earth Palace doesn't exist? Aren't the Earth Palace and the Heavenly Court one family? "
The Xue Tu King quickly pulled him back, "Look carefully, Fourth Brother … these are not living souls, they are ancestral spirits."
"Ancestral spirits are false gods of the Yang Realm who don't enter the Underworld, but forcefully become gods with the power of faith. Those whose souls are strong enough to resist the pull of the Gate of Hell and not enter the cycle of reincarnation after death, they feed on the power of faith to reconstruct their souls and forcibly transform their primordial spirits into gods. This is a loophole in the agreement between the Underworld and the Dao of Gods, using the sacrifices of their own descendants to feed themselves and turn them into Yin spirits, obtaining part of the status and privileges of gods, becoming Yin spirits outside the law that the Underworld can't control. "
Yuan Yu shook his head and added, "They won't be forcibly captured by the Underworld and sent into the cycle of reincarnation, but they won't be protected by the Underworld either."
"They are the lowest of the Dao of Gods. Although Yin spirits can be said to be the foundation of the Dao of Gods, they are also despicable … These false gods of the Dao of Gods are called ancestor spirits by the Dao of Demons, and are called ancestral spirits by humans. Many human ancestral spirits are recognized by the Heavenly Court, but they don't have enough merit, so they temporarily live in families and be worshipped by their descendants."
"The Dao of ancestors have insufficient merit, and the Dao of the Dao of the Dao of Dao.
"This is also a righteous path of the Divine Dao. This kind of merit accumulated by descendants for their ancestors is called Yin Virtue in the Merit Dharma. Those with Yin Virtue will inherit!
"Ancestral spirits, on the other hand, do not have any merit, so they can only sacrifice the blood of their descendants to strengthen their ancestor spirits so that they can manifest their power and protect their descendants!"
"Ancestral spirits are in the system of the Dao of Peace, preparing to become immortals, while ancestral spirits are fake ghosts and gods, which the Dao of Demons and Barbarians reject … That Zhang Liang enslaved countless ancestral spirits and made them kowtow to the Dao of Heaven, to show his loyalty!"
"To show that the Dao of Peace has captured sinful souls for the Dao of Peace and cleaned up evil spirits!"
Young Master Mu nodded faintly as well, expressing his approval, "The Dao of Peace destroyed ruined temples and cleaned up evil spirits, to expand its power and occupy those barren lands where the Dao of Gods hasn't been conferred by the Dao of Peace. But it was also to answer the call of the Dao of Peace, to clean up those bloodthirsty Maguspriests and evil spirits. Because of this, the Dao of Peace won the favor of the powerful figures in the Dao of Peace. Now, Zhang Liang has commanded these ancestral spirits to show that he has done the Dao of Peace! "
The Xue Tu King secretly talked to Fan Wu Jie, "The bloodline of the Dao of Demons is respected, so they worship many ancestral spirits. But the fact that ancestral spirits can go beyond the jurisdiction of the Netherworld and be recognized by the Netherworld is not as simple as they say. "
Fan Wu Jie whispered, "Is it because of the Witchcraft Cult?"
"Yes, the ancestral spirits are the gods recognized by the Witchcraft Cult, and they are also the foundation of the Witchcraft Cult's divine system. Back then, Goddess Houtu recognized the ancestral spirits as gods and did not restrict them by reincarnation … The difference between gods and gods is one of the Nine Questions of the Netherworld: What is the difference between ghosts and gods in reincarnation? The water in it is very deep, even when the Dao of Heaven and Earth and the other sects put their hands into reincarnation, built the Netherworld, and interfered with the matters of reincarnation, it is difficult to change. "
"Now, the influence of the Witchcraft Cult is still very strong. In the wilderness where the Dao of Heaven's authority is not that strong, there are still many human tribes that worship the ancestral spirits of the Sorcerer God … When the Emperor Heaven built the Dao of Heaven, he did not directly recruit people from the Witchcraft Cult because he was afraid of the Witchcraft Cult. Later, when the Dao of Heaven was built and the Witchcraft Cult was divided, some of the twelve ancestral wizards chose to follow the Heaven, some chose to follow Goddess Houtu, and some sought refuge with the Candle Dragon. The internal conflict is very complicated … In the future, the battle of heaven and earth, and the destruction of the Netherworld are all related to it. "
"The ancestral spirits and other gods of the Witchcraft Cult who do not enter the system of the Dao of Heaven are known as the Six Heavens Ancient Qi and Six Heavens Ancient Ghost. The three great forces of the Dao of Heaven, the Netherworld, and the Mystic Door to suppress the Six Heavens Ancient Qi are known as the Three Heavens Righteous Law. The Three Heavens Righteous Law against the Six Heavens Ancient Qi is too complicated! Daira can drown ten of them without breathing a sigh of relief … The Path of Peace is involved in this because they do not know what is good for them, we cannot be involved! "
Fan Wu Jie's expression changed. The fact that the Path of Peace was able to spread its name of rebelling against the heavens in the later generations and still retain its orthodoxy proved that it was indeed extraordinary. Zhang Liang's display of his supernatural powers to drive away the ghosts of the six heavens and kowtow to the celestial heavens seemed like a display of his supernatural powers on the surface, but in reality, he was trying to show off his merits to the celestial heavens. He was trying to show to the big shots that Zhang Jiao wanted to rely on that his orthodoxy had compromised with the laws of the celestial heavens.
It was also one of the ways that Zhang Jiao surrendered to the Dao of Heaven.
But on a deeper level, it involved the entanglement between the Six Heavens Ancient Qi and the Three Heavens Righteous Law. It could be traced back to the Shaman Demon War, the destruction of the Primordial Demon Court, and even the division of the Shaman Tribe. The Emperor Of Heaven, Houtu, and the Candle Dragon led the division of the Twelve Ancestors of Witchcraft.
After the Twelve Ancestors of Witchcraft attained Pangu, they fought with the Primordial Demon Court for the throne of the Emperor Of Heaven. After that, Emperor Of Heaven established the Heaven, Gong Gong, Zhu Rong, Qiang Liang, and Zhang Zi followed him. Houtu established the Netherworld, Xuan Ming, Ju Mang, and Ru Shou followed him. Tian Wu and She Bi Shi chose to follow the Candle Dragon …
After the Heavenly Courts were established, the Netherworld established by Houtu inevitably had conflicts with the Heavenly Courts, which was bound to centralize power.
Although Samsara was Houtu's divine right, the Heavenly Courts ruled the Primordial World and controlled all divine rights. How could they allow the Netherworld to be outside the Heavenly Courts' power system for a long time? As a result, a war without gunpowder was triggered. In the end, Houtu lost the battle for power. The power of Samsara fell, and the power of the Netherworld returned to the Heavenly Courts.
That was the rumor that circulated in the Primordial World. It was the battle of heaven and earth that the Heavenly Courts had never officially acknowledged.
This kind of power struggle among the higher-ups of the Heavenly Courts was quite obscure. Anyway, the Witchcraft Houtu and Emperor Jiang jointly presided over the duopoly of the Witchcraft. After defeating the Primordial Demon Court and establishing the dual system of the Heavenly Courts and the Netherworld, the Emperor Of Heaven finally completed the centralization of the Heavenly Courts in the hands of the Emperor Of Heaven. Xuan Ming, Goumang, and Bi submitted to the Heavenly Courts, and Houtu went into seclusion.
There was a rumor that when the Heaven and Earth were fighting for power, the Emperor Of Heaven made use of the struggle between Emperor Wa and Houtu to create a human. That was how he finally defeated Houtu in the power struggle.
But because of that, Houtu and River Styx joined hands to destroy the Netherworld, which was a hidden danger.
The Six Heavens Old Qi involved the power struggle between the Emperor Of Heaven and Houtu, the destruction of the Netherworld, the division of the Witchcraft, the cause and effect of a part of the Witchcraft joining the Demon Sect, the reform of the Heavenly Courts, and the struggle to create a human … Although Fan Wu Jie and the others did not know all of these, just the part that they knew was very scary!
They did not dare to think about it further …
The Xue Tu King reminded Fan Wu Jie to not get involved with the Six Heavens Old Qi, which was a taboo. After ensuring that they would not accidentally touch any hidden Yin Thunder and get involved in the battle that had nothing to do with them, they did not speak anymore.
Fan Wu Jie watched Zhang Liang's magical power improve. Under his control, the Six Heavens Old Ghost Ancestral Spirits rolled in the black and white air, and summoned another group of Yin Spirits. This time, the Yin Spirits were like gods. They were full of pure Yin energy, and their faces were peaceful. Their faces were lifelike like real people. Even if they did not have a human face, most of them were handsome, beautiful, simple, and strong.
These heroic spirits accompanied Zhang Liang, so that his every move was blessed by the gods and aided by the divine power of these Yin Spirits.
"Could this be the peerless magical power of the Peace Scripture, the Nine Degrees of Dao?" Yuan Yu said with a solemn expression, "The Nine Degrees of Dao is used to capture ghosts and send gods. In the future, Daoism used to send ghosts and gods out of it. I thought it was just an exaggeration in the Dao Scripture, but it seems like it is true. "
Ajati frowned and said, "If it really is the Nine Degrees of Dao, then it was the ancestral spirits just now. Could it be the spirits of the Ocean Gods this time?"
"The spirits of the Ocean Gods are boundless, and their Dao does not belong to anything. They make people talk nonsense, half true, and half evil."
Only then did Fan Wu Jie realize that the method Zhang Liang used to control the ancestral spirits and the Ocean Gods was an extremely powerful magical power. The Yin nature of the ancestral spirits of the demons and barbarians was chaotic, and their godly bodies were close to ghosts. They were accompanied by the power of curses, filth, and decay. Therefore, Zhang Liang used the energy of incense to bind and drive them. On one hand, he used the incense to feed them, and on the other hand, he used it to control and drive them.
Just now, Zhang Liang had displayed the magical power of driving the ancestral spirits to worship in the Peace Scripture and condensing divine power into heavenly flowers. The ancestral spirits were like a filter and purifying device. They condensed the mixed power of incense and wishes into relatively pure divine power through the instincts of the ancestral spirits and gods. This kind of divine power could be used by Zhang Liang at will. When it was used on Prince Bo Jun, it could be turned into heavenly flowers. When it was used on himself, wouldn't his magical power increase exponentially, and it was endless?
Now that the mountain spirits and water spirits had become the Ocean Gods, they were relatively pure vital Qi that turned into spirits and turned into gods. Therefore, their divine power was relatively pure.
Zhang Liang used the sacrificial method to worship these Ocean Gods to his side, and they turned into power from the void. In the void beside him, the Ocean Gods manifested and helped him sort out the laws of heaven and earth and vital Qi.
When a cultivator fought, they relied on their own magical power, but it was only a small force. More often, they relied on their own magical power to mobilize the power of heaven and earth.
Now, other cultivators could only borrow the power of heaven and earth, but Zhang Liang used the magical power of the Peace Scripture and the Nine Degrees of the Great Dao to control the spirits of the Ocean Gods. Not only could he borrow the Qi of heaven and earth, but he could also use the power of the gods and gods to naturally suppress others from borrowing the power of the Qi of heaven and earth.
Zhang Liang took another nine steps on the rainbow bridge and bowed deeply to Prince Bo Jun. The endless divine power of the Ocean Gods once again surged toward Bo Jun's disciple. On the white jade platform, golden lotuses grew around Prince Bo Jun, and there was even a golden spring condensed from divine power surging out to support the golden lotuses.
The golden lotuses contained pure divine power, and only a few people present could see that these golden lotuses could be turned into extremely powerful protective magical power at any time. The captain of the Milky Way Navy, who was sitting next to Prince Bo Jun, seemed to be moved. However, he carefully examined the magical power contained in the golden lotuses and found that it was purely a protective magical power without any malicious intent, so he relaxed.
Under Prince Bo Jun's signal, he didn't act up.
Zhang Liang took another nine steps. This time, what appeared was not the true body of the god, but some projections and illusions mixed with a few real heroic spirits. He was a demigod!
Although those projections and illusions were symbols of the gods and demigods who supported the Path of Peace, they symbolized the relationship network of the Path of Peace.
But Young Master Mu and Fan Wu Jie both heaved a sigh of relief. Young Master Mu looked at Fan Wu Jie's relaxed expression and said with a smile, "I've heard of the Path of Peace's Nine Degrees of the Great Dao."
"The first is the inaction of vitality, the second is the calming of nothingness, the third is the visible number, the fourth is the return of the spirit, the fifth is the unity of the Great Dao, the sixth is the piercing of happiness, the seventh is the heroic spirits of the society, the eighth is the spirits of the Ocean Gods, and the ninth is the spirits of the ancestors."
"It's the supreme magical power that divides the gods in the world into nine degrees, and by borrowing the power of the nine gods, he is invincible in the world."
"I thought he could really borrow the power of the Master of the Stars and the Heavenly Gods. It looks like Zhang Jiao still hasn't gotten permission from the big shot behind him to borrow the power of the celestial heavens. Now, he can only play around with the local gods … Those local gods are limited by the merit laws, so they can help him with some small things. But if it involves the survival of living beings, which is a big matter that is considered by the merit laws, I don't think any god would dare to help him at the risk of having their merit reduced! "
Fan Wu Jie also smiled and said, "If that's the case, then the Nine Degrees of the Great Dao is just a magical power that follows the heavens and does not violate the merit laws. Naturally, there will be the help of the ten thousand gods. Once Zhang Jiao wants to go against the heavens, he can only use the power of the ancestor spirits and evil gods imprisoned by the Path of Peace!"
Yuan Yu's expression changed when he heard that, and he said in a low voice that the audience could hear, "So this Zhang Liang is using the Path of Peace's peerless magical power, the Nine Degrees of the Great Dao!"
"It's a pity that the head of the Great Dao is the inaction of vitality. In this world, there are only three gods from the Mystic Door who can be called inaction of vitality. How powerful are the three gods from the Mystic Door? How can they be borrowed by a mere Path of Peace? Therefore, the Nine Degrees of the Great Dao of Peace is just a little bit of the principle of the Three Pure Ones, Daozu! Although its power is also very shocking, it is not invincible. "
"The second one is Emperor Wa, Emperor Xi, the current Emperor Heaven, and the former Demon Emperor Jun. The third one is the Primordial God of Sorcerer, Demon God, and the great ones. The fourth one is the Celestial Emperors of the celestial heavens. Among the Celestial Emperors and Celestial Emperors that you can see in the Heaven Realm, the most inconspicuous one is the Master God of a Heavenly Star. The five Dao Gods are the gods of the four seasons and five elements, the gods of the Great Dao. "
"These Celestial Venerables, Celestial Emperors, Celestial Emperors, Celestial Emperors, Celestial Emperors, Lord Ji, Witch Gods, and Demon Gods, which one of them is not of extremely high status? Zhang Jiao spent a lot of effort, but at most, he could get a trace of divine power to help him."
"Only small gods like Ci Xi Di, Xie Yi Di, Xie Yi Di, Yang Shen, and Ancestor Spirits can be ordered to imprison and steal their divine power."
"Also, if they are gods conferred by the celestial heavens, he can't touch them, even if they are the ancestors of a mere Mao Shen."
"This Nine Degrees of the Great Dao, the first four Degrees of the Path of Peace can destroy mountains and temples, fight against evil gods, and capture the true bodies of those gods. As for the last five Degrees, even if Zhang Jiao comes, he can only manifest a trace of a shadow, cultivate it, and only get some superficial knowledge! This Zhang Liang's aptitude is not bad … but I don't believe that he can cultivate the last five Degrees! "
The immortals around nodded. This divine art of Zhang Jiao's was indeed a little too ambitious, so it could not be perfected, only the first four Degrees … This divine art was so ambitious that if he wanted to completely perfect it, or to cultivate it to the highest realm, perhaps even the Emperor Of Heaven would not be able to do it. After all, the Three Pure Ones were not the subjects of the Emperor Of Heaven, so they could not cultivate the First Degree of the Great Dao.
And it was also not possible for the Three Pure Ones to cultivate it, because the celestial heavens was not controlled by them.
The Gods of the Four Seasons and Five Elements, the Lord of the Stars, the various ancient gods, and the Celestial Emperors could only be commanded by the Emperor Of Heaven. The celestial heavens was originally the culmination of all divine authority, but Zhang Jiao created a Vitality Inaction, which was beyond divine authority.
His Nine Degrees of the Great Dao could only be cultivated by one existence in theory …
That was the Emperor Of Heaven of the Mystic Door, appointed by the Three Pure Ones!
Yuan Yu could also see that the Nine Degrees of the Great Dao contained the secrets of Daira that Zhang Jiao comprehended.
To put it bluntly, the true meaning of Zhang Jiao's Nine Degrees of the Great Dao was not as simple as Yuan Yu said. The Vitality Inaction was the three Qi of the Three Pure Ones, Beginning, Origin, and Mystic. As for the Solidified Nothingness, it was the ancient gods and great gods who had proven Pangu's Dao. The Number of Degrees could be seen, and the Number of Degrees could also be seen, counting from the hair to the five fingers, describing the inside and the outside separately.
It meant to observe the inside with concentration, counting from the hair to the five fingers, carefully closing the inside and closing the outside, knowing more was defeat, and seeing the body of the Yellow Hall.
The Yellow Hall was the Body God, and the human body was the appearance of Pangu.
The Body God was the Innate God born when Pangu formed the heaven and earth, and the great gods who had proven Pangu's appearance.
The secrets of Daira contained in the Nine Degrees of the Great Dao were actually the secrets of the gods that were born when Pangu created the heaven and earth, which were also the secrets of Pangu's God … Unfortunately, Yuan Yu had long realized that the path that Zhang Jiao deduced could not be cultivated directly to Pangu's God. To reverse Pangu's transformation into God through the Nine Degrees of the Great Dao and prove Daira.
It was basically a whimsical idea.
"No wonder Zhang Jiao rebelled against the Celestial Court and wanted to establish the Mystic Door Emperor Of Heaven …" Yuan Yu came to a realization and said, "So he didn't give up and wanted to take this dead end!"
But while the Nine Degrees of the Great Dao is a fundamental technique in the Taiping Sutra, the current Zhang Jiao is definitely not crazy enough to use this path to attain the Grand Luo Realm. There must be more than one dead end in the Taiping Sutra, right? Zhang Jiao should be cultivating another path now, which is why he wanted to rely on the Celestial Court … Then why did he turn to that dead end? "
Yuan Yu was a little puzzled, but this secret was definitely not something that could be found in a short period of time, so he temporarily put it at the back of his mind.
Instead, he continued to build up momentum for Zhang Liang, revealing everything about him.
On the White Jade Terrace, when Prince Bo Jun heard the 'explanation' and 'encouragement' of Yuan Yu and the others, he turned to look at where Zhang Jiao was sitting and said with a faint smile, "Sect Leader Taiping, is the one standing on the stage your younger brother? Truly the younger generation will surpass us in time … I've long heard that Cult Leader created the 'Peace Scripture' and obtained the true teachings of the Nan Hua Zhenren. Now that I see your younger brother's supernatural power, it's really extraordinary! "
Zhang Jiao smiled and said, "Prince is too kind! It's just some vulgar techniques that are embarrassing in front of the Great Dao of the Heavenly Courts. Emissaries of the Heavenly Courts, please excuse me! "
Prince Bo Jun laughed and said, "Your younger brother has the Nine Degrees of the Great Dao, cleansing the roots of the celestial heavens, crusading against the evil spirits of the six heavens. It can be seen that the Dao of Peace upholds the teachings of the Heavenly Courts and follows the righteous path. It's rare and precious. "
Zhang Jiao bowed and said, "It's all thanks to Prince's good teachings! It's also because of Imperial Emperor Zi Yang's strict laws that brought order out of chaos. "
