The clan altar has been unsealed.

The ceremony of bestowing ordination talismans began in the temple one after another, and those disciples who were promoted to the third realm condensed their own scriptures and ordination talismans one by one.

Xu Qing was not idle at this moment either——

He was preparing for the ceremony of advancing his talisman.

For this advancement, only the sutra "Taishang Zhengyi Yuanming Hun Dun Chilu" needs to be advanced, but the treasure talisman "Yin Yang Jiangmo Subduing Demons and Monsters" does not need to be advanced.

Because the latter is of very high grade.

Normally, when a disciple of the talisman school is granted a talisman for the first time, the grade is mostly ninth or eighth, and the second time it is bestowed is between seventh and fifth grades.

But his "General of Yin and Yang who conquers demons and monsters" is a third-grade mage position.

Normally it should correspond to the third ordination.

Therefore, his current treasure scroll cannot be advanced and cannot be advanced.

Unless he asks for a title from heaven and earth based on his merits.

But Xu Qing would be stupid to do that.

After waiting for about a month, it was finally Xu Qing's turn to perform the magic talisman advancement ceremony.

In the main hall of the ancestral temple.

Xu Qing looked around the hall curiously.

More than a month ago, Elder Qingzheng used the long sword he brought back from the Dragon Palace, which contained the destiny of the previous dynasty, to break the seal on the sect altar by Taizu Sheng of Da Sheng. During that time, something out of control must have happened.

Finally, the master who was maintaining the seal of Huaijing under Guishan was forced to come and finish the job.

What exactly happened during this period.

Xu Qing was quite curious.

But all the elders at that time kept their mouths shut, and no matter how he and Senior Sister Jingqing asked, they could not get the answer.

thus.

Xu Qing believed that it must be his master who issued the gag order personally.

Otherwise it would be impossible that even Second Senior Sister would not be qualified to know.

That's why Xu Qing looked around when he entered the sect hall this time.

The main hall is actually very ordinary. There is nothing extra inside the hall except the altar in the center.

Just like the first time the ordination was held, in front of the altar were the gods in heaven, arranged from top to bottom according to the true spiritual career chart, including the Three Pure Ones and Four Imperial Lords, the Five Emperors of the Five Directions, etc., as well as five hundred spiritual officials and four heavenly masters.

There are some ritual instruments on the altar, such as the divination sticks, ropes, seals, hand warmers, dragon horns, tokens, cleaning boards, guijian, Tianpeng ruler, Sanqing ritual bells and so on.

Passed down by the founder of Li Temple and worshipped by the disciples of Yuanfu Temple in all generations, it is no longer an ordinary ritual instrument but a ceremonial instrument.

The grade of a single weapon is no less than that of a top-grade magical weapon.

It’s just that the ritual instruments are integrated with the altar.

Therefore, Yuanfu Temple will not use the magical instruments on the altar unless it is absolutely necessary.

On both sides of the altar are hundreds of golden lamps, incense candles, and copper censers that burn endlessly.

In spring, nine hundred lamps are lit, corresponding to the nine Qi of the east. In summer, three hundred lamps are lit, corresponding to the three Qi of the south. In autumn, seven hundred lamps are lit, corresponding to the seven Qi of the west. In winter, five hundred lamps are lit, corresponding to the five Qi of the north.

Although there are many lights and incense sticks, there is seldom a feeling that the entire hall is filled with smoke.

Wisps of clear smoke float three feet away from the flame, gradually flowing up along the sacred tablets of the heavens in front of the altar, and finally disappearing.

Portraits of ancestors from past generations are hung around the entire ancestral hall.

There are also banners depicting the Tai Shang Huang Ting Jing, the fundamental text of Yuan Fu Guan, and other Taoist scriptures.

At this time, Elder Jingyan was already waiting in front of the sect altar.

Seeing this, Xu Qing didn't dare to look around any more. He quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully:
"Disciple greets Elder Jingyan."

"You don't have to be so polite, Junior Brother." Elder Jing Yan nodded, "Are you ready?"

"Disciple is ready."

"Okay. Then let's not waste time and get started now."

"Yes."

Elder Jingyan led Xu Qing to kowtow to the gods in heaven and the ancestors of all generations.

When setting up an altar and performing rituals, the normal Taoist practice is to perform the method of breaking filth, using the mantra of purifying heaven and earth in combination with the five thunders to sweep away all evil spirits, thereby creating a pure environment, and then perform the Taoist rituals.

However, the altar of Yuanfu Temple is recognized by the gods in heaven and worshipped by the gods from generation to generation. Naturally, no evil spirits dare to approach the place where it is.

The ceremony is over.

Elder Jingyan said respectfully:

"Disciple Jingyan is honored to be the current master of the sect altar."

"Now, a disciple named Jingdu wants to perform the ordination ceremony, so he opens the sect altar and hopes for the blessings of the gods and ancestors of all generations."

Just say it.

Elder Jingyan made a hand gesture to open the sect altar.

All of a sudden.

The flames of the golden lamps, incense candles, and copper incense burners on both sides of the main altar rose sharply upwards.

The portraits of the ancestors and the Taoist scripture banners hanging around the altar danced wildly in the wind.

A large amount of rune torrents flowed out from the sect altar.

However, this time it did not soar into the sky, but was confined to the entire sect hall.

"Are you clear about the contents of the ordination ceremony?" asked Elder Jing Yan.

"It's all clear."

Xu Qing was already familiar with all the contents of the ordination ceremony.

The initial ordination can be done through a temporary altar, and then remotely with the help of the ancestral altar, but the additional ordination can only be done through the ancestral altar.

The ceremony for advancing the Dharma talisman is called "jia lu".

The "Tai Shang San Wu Du Gong Jing Lu" (Du Gong Lu) was upgraded to the "Tai Shang Zheng Yi Meng Wei Jing Lu", abbreviated as "Meng Wei Lu".

Normally, the first-level "Taishang Zhengyi Yuanming Hunchun Chilu" should be upgraded to the second-level "Taishang Sanwu Zhengyi Mengwei Yuanming Hunchun Chilu".

Just a few more words.

The blessing effect is only enhanced on the first-level "Yuanming Chaos Red Talisman".

However, depending on the different rituals, the practitioner's own practice, etc., the second-level talisman will present multiple possible options.

Of course, the most orthodox and common method is still the advanced method mentioned above.

For Xu Qing, it doesn't matter whether it is the most orthodox or one of the many possibilities outside of orthodoxy. It is difficult for him to make significant improvements in the fourth realm.

"It's good that everything is clear." Elder Jingyan nodded, "Stand forward!"

Xu Qing followed the order and stood in front of the altar.

Elder Jingyan stepped aside, took out a talisman and threw it over Xu Qing's head.

The magic talisman was lit up, and the rune light flowing around it surged towards Xu Qing, gradually wrapping him into a ball of light.

Xu Qing, who was wrapped in the rune torrent, merged his consciousness into the "Taishang Zhengyi Yuanming Chaos Red Talisman", and then he became aware and unknowingly came to an inexplicable space.

It is different from the heavenly space that one entered when receiving the ordination for the first time.

This space is filled with countless sacred and mysterious phantoms, as well as countless runes, magic symbols, red books, and ink characters.

Each one radiates a brilliant light, and various visions constantly evolve on it.

There may be flashes of lightning, shadows of thousands of soldiers floating, trees sprouting and all things growing, or gods sitting cross-legged in the sky chanting loudly.
Xu Qing knew what to do next.

He needed to find enough and suitable "materials" here to melt into his "Taishang Zhengyi Yuanming Chaos Red Talisman".

Searching does not mean looking around randomly like a headless fly.

According to the practice of the person holding the talisman, there will be a kind of induction from the dark to guide the person holding the talisman to find the right "material".

However, when the "Taishang Zhengyi Yuanming Chaos Red Talisman" that was integrated with Xu Qing's consciousness appeared in this special space, the runes and ink characters around him swarmed towards him.

The enthusiasm was so strong that it was as if Xu Qing wanted to directly absorb them and melt them into the scriptures.

Xu Qing was shocked. According to the experience left by the disciples who had received the second ordination in the past generations, this situation had never happened before.

In the past, every disciple who received the second ordination said that the process of searching for suitable runes and ink characters was like playing hide-and-seek. Even if they could find them through induction, it still took a certain amount of effort to capture them.

Why is it that as soon as he comes in, all the runes and ink characters rush towards him?

Xu Qing didn't know whether he could swallow these runes and ink characters and melt them into his scriptures.

He tried to rely on some mysterious feeling to find the runes and ink characters that suited him.

But he felt that all the runes and ink characters around him were suitable for him to devour and smelt.

Xu Qing was surprised.

But since he sensed that all the runes and ink characters were suitable materials, he swallowed them all.

The "Taishang Zhengyi Yuanming Hunding Chilu" that hosted Xu Qing's consciousness turned into a human form, opened its mouth and sucked, and all the runes and ink characters that rushed towards it from all directions were swallowed into its stomach.

Further away, more rune ink characters rushed over. Xu Qing accepted them all and sucked them all into his stomach.

Gradually.

The evolved human figure had an enlarged belly.

Even so, Xu Qing continued to devour the rune ink characters that rushed towards him.

The more rune ink characters are melted, the higher the quality of the second sutra will be.

Xu Qing naturally eats as much as he can.

Until I can't bear it anymore.

An unknown amount of time had passed as Xu Qing frantically devoured the runes and ink characters around him.

Those runes and ink characters also kept rushing towards him on their own, and they jumped into his mouth without him even having to open his mouth to suck them.

Finally, after feeling that the scripture could no longer accommodate the rune ink characters, Xu Qing's consciousness stopped absorbing and withdrew from this special space.

The originally square scripture scroll became fat like a round ball after absorbing a large amount of runes and ink characters, which looked a bit funny.

The rune torrent that enveloped Xu Qing no longer gathered around him after Xu Qing left that space, but dissipated around the hall.

Elder Jingyan sensed it slightly.

It was discovered that the Rune Torrent consumed much more than when other disciples performed the second rune torrent.

The energy consumed by Xu Qing alone is at least equivalent to the energy consumed by five disciples performing the second enchantment together.

“This consumption is too staggering.”

Upon learning this, Elder Jing Yan couldn't help but feel curious about what kind of scriptures Xu Qing had condensed that would cause such a huge consumption.

He immediately made a seal with his hands and activated the sect altar.

The sacred tablets of the heavens in front of the sect altar emitted a ray of spiritual light into Xu Qing's brow.

The "Taishang Zhengyi Yuanming Hun Dun Chi Lu" that had become as fat as a ball in Xu Qing's body had now risen into the Niwan in the upper dantian.

Aura of light enveloped the scriptures.

The sutra began to change, and the rune ink characters that were originally known to have been swallowed up began to merge into the sutra.

Xu Qing's consciousness could not interfere with this process and he could only wait quietly for the result.

It took about two cups of tea.

The scriptures finally stopped changing.

The next moment, Xu Qing had an epiphany.

After the second addition of the talisman, the "Taishang Zhengyi Yuanming Hunding Chilu" was upgraded to——

The imperial decree for the Six Dings and Six Jias is the Red Talisman of Chaos!

It is not the most orthodox "Taishang Sanwu Zhengyi Mengwei Yuanming Hunchun Chilu".

Instead, it is the "Imperial Command of the Six Ding and Six Jia Chaos Red Talisman" which is closely related to the twelve guardian gods of the Six Ding and Six Jia in his body!
Before Xu Qing could determine the effect of this sutra, he heard Elder Jing Yan's cry:
"Junior Brother Jingdu, what's going on?"

Xu Qing immediately opened his eyes, clasped his hands and said, "Disciple succeeded."

There is a possibility of failure in the second addition of the talisman. If you do not collect enough appropriate runes and ink characters, and your foundation is insufficient, you will naturally not be able to advance.

Elder Jingyan doesn't think Xu Qing will fail.

However, the process of advancing through the sutras is generally very short and can be completed in a few or a dozen breaths.

But Xu Qing spent enough time to finish two cups of tea.

He couldn't ask any more questions.

Since he was interrupted, Xu Qing could only wait until later to determine the effect of the advanced scriptures.

He told Elder Jingyan about his experiences in that special space and expressed his doubts.

Elder Jingyan smiled after hearing this: "Your situation is actually not unprecedented."

"Is there a precedent?"

"Yes. You know this precedent and it is familiar to you."

"I know him? And I'm very familiar with him?" Xu Qing frowned slightly.

He didn't know many people in the temple, and they were all elders and senior brothers and sisters.

Among his peers, he was the first to be promoted to the fourth realm and the first to complete the second enchantment, so the others of his generation were not.

Second Senior Sister Jingqing?
No, there is no such thing as an advanced level for her “Talisman of Slaying Thousands of Gods and Tens of Thousands of Ghosts”. One talisman can be cultivated from the third level to the seventh level.

Senior Brother Jingxin?

Probably not.

His sutras follow the path of precepts, which often have very strict rules that are difficult to change.

Xu Qing suddenly had an idea: "Could it be my master?"

"That's right." Elder Jingyan nodded, "It's your master."

"Have you condensed the half-Dharma Domain above the prototype of the Dharma Domain?"

"Yes."

There is nothing to hide from the elders in the temple.

Elder Jingyan had an expression that said, “As expected.”

"Your domain should be similar to your master's domain of all gods, or you should have the qualifications to become a domain of all gods similar to your master's."

"The talismans of our talisman sect correspond to the gods of the heavens, all gods, all gods. Since all gods are in your body, then naturally all the runes and ink characters are suitable for you."

"I see."

Xu Qing understood.

The essence of talismans corresponds to the sacred things in the heavens, and those rune characters are naturally no exception.

"The Ten Thousand Gods Realm, also known as the Miro Realm, is the most advanced Taoist method passed down from generation to generation at our Yuanfu Temple."

Jing Yan looked at Xu Qing with a relieved smile.

"You have the qualifications, so you can pay more attention to this one in the future."

"Only the head of the sect can teach the relevant secret methods, but there are many books on the Ten Thousand Gods Realm in the Sutra Library of the temple. You can read more, maybe it will be useful to you."

"Yes."

Xu Qing knew that this was Elder Jing Yan giving him some advice.

"Well, now that you have completed the second initiation, you may leave now."

"Yes."

Xu Qing left the sect hall.

The following days.

He was familiar with the effects of the "Imperial Command of the Six Dings and Six Jias and the Red Talisman of Chaos".

When the "Taishang Zhengyi Yuanming Hun Dun Chi Lu" is in effect, the Six Dings and Six Jias in his body can temporarily take over as talisman soldiers, and the two can be superimposed to strengthen the effect of the sutra.

Now that the talisman has been upgraded to "The Imperial Command of the Six Dings and Six Jias, the Red Talisman of Chaos", the Six Dings and Six Jias are truly talisman soldiers.

The power of the sutra and the guardian deity complement each other, and the sum of the two is greater than the sum of the two. (End of this chapter)
