Chapter 1887: Rites and Ceremonies
a snort of anger, he barked, "Follow me!">Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!Qin Sang didn't understand why the old man was so furious. Knowing it was best not to prov...This kind of magic is called 'Transformation'.
When a practitioner practices, they connect with the celestial court through talismans and visualize the deities and titles from the immortal scripture. They contemplate transforming themselves into deities and, in conjunction with corresponding scriptures, spells, and incantations, they obtain a response from the talismanic spirit and receive divine power.
The power of the divine symbol can be bestowed upon troops, or upon oneself.
This spell also has limitations. To receive a response from the talisman spirit, one requires a high level of cultivation, purity of heart and mastery of the art.
It is not that the higher the position and the more numerous they are, the better. The higher the position and the more numerous they are, the higher the requirements for practitioners.
Most Daoist cultivators can only summon gods from the ranks corresponding to their own talismans. Their positions should be equivalent to or slightly higher than their own.
Among them, it is easiest to protect oneself with one's own guardian deity.
The higher the rank of the summoned spirit, the greater its power, but the process is more complex. A ritual altar is required, and every step in casting the spell must be performed meticulously, including drawing talismans precisely and reciting corresponding incantations and performing specific steps.
Summoning a god of higher rank, it's not uncommon to have dozens or even hundreds of talismans unleashed.
Besides, numerous Taoist cultivators performing rituals together can also summon high-ranking talisman gods, but this requires extremely strict and complex Taoist rites, known as "Zhai Jiao" in the Taoist tradition.
The most important point is that Fu Shen must exist in order to respond.
Following the path of the Taoist monks who practice under Master Ruquan's guidance is not a guaranteed success for everyone, but it is inspiring nonetheless!
Outside the Immortal City, demonic energy surged.
The Immortal City Grand Formation has been activated, and the Void-Confinement Ban is covering the area outside the city for hundreds of miles. Demon clouds entering the range of the spirit formation's power show a clear sign of being suppressed.
'Bang! Bang! Bang!'
In the midst of the beast tide, countless flying creatures, ferocious beasts capable of soaring through the skies, crashed down to the ground.
The beast tide surged.
These ferocious beasts were unfortunately struck and trampled by their own comrades from behind, countless of them instantly becoming a bloody pulp.
Bloodlust provides the beast tide with even greater impetus.
Even before the battle had begun, countless beasts were killed and wounded, but in the boundless tide of beasts, this loss was negligible.
After becoming 'divine', the Taoist monks felt a powerful force surging within them, their faces filled with excitement. As the beast tide drew closer, they could no longer contain themselves and began casting talismans towards the outside of the city.
Those who make a move are mostly cultivators who practice the talismans of the Plague Department.
Only streaks of light exploded outside the city, bursting forth with colorful and dazzling poisonous smoke. The smoke connected, forming a continuous miasma.
Outside the city, a five-colored smoke cloud condensed out of thin air. The ferocious beasts that charged into the poisonous miasma died instantly.
Some died silently on the ground, others rotted completely, their flesh and blood turning into poison that continued to corrode other beasts.

As soon as they made their move, Taoist cultivators immediately noticed the difference. The same talismans, both in casting speed and power, surpassed previous levels.
Moreover, some talismans that previously felt awkward and even beyond one's cultivation limit could now be cast.
They also felt that their consumption was greater, as they could previously fire ten talismans in a row, but now they could only fire eight or even fewer. The blessing of the talisman spirit could not be maintained for long.
However, these are minor matters. Nothing is more heartening than receiving a response from the divine court.

At the sight, cheers erupted around.
The city was instantly illuminated by flashes of light, countless talismans soared into the air, and incantations resounded ceaselessly as they desperately summoned the highest-ranking spirit within their range.
Under the night, the divine light of the fairy city shines brightly, contrasting sharply with the gloomy demon clouds.
This is a test.
Please provide me with the text you would like me to translate. I can translate between many languages.
Even the monks who received no response did not despair.
As long as we get through this tribulation, there will be a day when we can restore the former glory of the Divine Court!

"Protect my Dao Gate!"
"Guard the Way of Heaven!"
The calls rose again, one after another, with slightly less tragedy and a bit more boldness than before.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
The gates of the talisman altar opened one after another, and Taoist cultivators led their troops to the front lines.
'...Boom boom boom...'
The mountains and earth are trembling.
Demon clouds covered the sky, blocking out the sun. A sea of beasts stretched as far as the eye could see.
‘Boom!’
The ferocious beasts' army is at the city gate.
At the same time, a storm of wind and frost swept across the city, turning the earth into a sea of magma and mud.
Every snowflake, every streak of fire possesses terrifying power, madly harvesting the lives of ferocious beasts.
The city protection formation is activated!
"Kill!"
Roars of fury echoed from atop the city walls.
Under the protection of the Great Defensive Array, Daoist cultivators proactively charged outward from the city.
The cultivators of the Dragon Tiger Altar all received divine power enhancement, each one powerful and unmatched, leading the demon soldiers to charge.
Within the battle formation, there were hidden many talismans platforms. Daoist masters personally acted as the core of the formation, controlling the battlefield.
Viewed from above, the entire Daoist camp resembles a vast formation composed of talisman platforms, troops, and cultivators.
...And on the city wall, there were also floating altars of talismans.
There are countless tiered spirit altar platforms, rising high and ascending into the heavens.
Among them were many cultivators who specialized in refining golden talismans, including some highly accomplished masters of the profound way. Some worked together to perform lethal spells and eliminate enemies, while others used various divine talismans to assist their comrades.

Compared to the tide of beasts, the forces on the Taoist side may seem weak, but everything is orderly and well-regulated.
The Taoist forces divided into several legions, charging into the tide of beasts like a series of surging currents. They coordinated with each other, devastating and decimating the enemy as they moved back and forth within the chaotic beast horde.

Where the blade points, blood flows and corpses litter the ground!
At that moment, a soft incantation emanated from the mouth of Master Xiancheng. His voice, though not loud, resonated clearly throughout the city, reaching every cultivator and soldier present.

"Jade Qi transforms into a flow, divine spirits descend and illuminate. "

Riding the celestial chariot, appearing among the nine heavens.
The people of Jiudi, all share prosperity in life and fortune.
May you live long and have good eyesight, never dying in sorrow.
With utmost urgency, a royal decree!
The sound is like the spring breeze and rain.
On the battlefield, the demon soldiers and cultivators charging into battle, many filled with murderous intent, almost forgetting everything, heard the incantation and regained some clarity.
Above the fairy city, in the formation of talismans, a talisman platform rose high into the air, followed by other talisman platforms, guarding it around.
The cultivator on the central altar was none other than True Person Ruquan.
She bathes in divine light, her expression gentle, like a celestial mother descending from the heavens. She cannot bear to witness the suffering of the world. Her jade hand gently lifts, and the Celestial Medicine Staff glows with boundless brilliance.
The light of the divine transformation talisman condensed in the void, abruptly forming a gigantic talisman that could almost pierce through the entire fairy city.
The talisman shattered with a deafening boom, its glyphs swirling like banners in the wind.
Thousands of lights floated towards the city, falling onto the demons and cultivators who were fighting.
The demon soldiers felt the change most acutely. They seemed to have gained infinite vitality, their blood and energy surging like never before.

Some of the wounds on his body began to writhe, pain receding, and in an instant, they were as good as new.
Even though it was a serious wound, it felt lighter.
And, after healing their wounds, the magical power did not dissipate, but would continue to exist.
When this divine talisman was unleashed, the face of Master Ruquan turned an alarmingly pale. Among the cultivators supporting her on the altar, many swayed unsteadily, and if not for their spiritual power bolstering them, they would have been unable to withstand it.
>
Then, the real person Ruquan took a deep breath, took out a jade bottle, swallowed the spiritual liquid inside, and sat in meditation on the altar.

Other cultivators also each took out medicinal pills and swallowed them to recover.
This divine talisman consumes a great deal of energy, but its effects are immediate and visible.
In an instant, the Daoist forces surged with power. Their roars echoed like thunder as they repelled the beast tide for a hundred miles in a single, powerful push.
There is more than just this fairy city.
In other fairy cities, similar situations occurred, either staying put or charging into the beast tide.
Before long, the fairy cities on both sides of the border were besieged by the beast horde.
Even Onigashima and Kaku fought valiantly, but they were ultimately unable to escape their fate. They are now two solitary islands in this world.
In the north, demonic clouds billow like the sea, while in the south, storms rage with fury.
>
'Boom!'
Suddenly, a Taoist immortal city burst forth with golden light.
Golden light shot straight into the sky, visible for thousands of miles.
As if responding to a signal, other fairy cities continuously shot out golden light, each beam echoing across the distance.
Golden light shone upon the heaven and earth.
The Great True Serenity Immortal City.
Please provide the text you'd like me to translate. I can help with that!
If one's heart is moved by the true essence of things, one will open their eyes and gaze towards the distance.
The entire northern border, like a golden serpent running east and west, was connected into one continuous stretch, forming a golden Great Wall to guard the rear gate of its territory.
For a time, the Daoist sect was in a very favorable situation.
Here's the translation:

The beast tide was held back at the border.
However, the battles involving Sanji and Oni Country were much more brutal.
Things are a little better for Sanji.
The human side.
Powerful cultivators from the left and right ministries of Thunderstorm emerged, organizing Northern Border cultivators to resist the beast tide with Star Island Immortal Lake as their stronghold.
In the south, where there were few people to begin with, Yintian Palace cultivators and Huangquan Dao's army of Taoists formed a solid defensive line.
In the realm of demon nations, all demon nations share a common fate.

The monks and demon cultivators, like fish caught in a flood, were merely casualties. Many fought with bewildered expressions, their movements numb and vacant.
They are unable to control their own destinies and can only wait for the outcome of the battle between Gui Fang Guo and Dao Ting.

As for the Ghost Nation, it can be said that it is devastated by death.
The Great Sage of the Demon Clan made a desperate gamble, dispatching his elite troops to guard the Netherworld Path and the Grand Saint's Mansion, leaving the outer defenses weak.
The Beast Tide was too massive for the Demon-Calling Drum to control. All it could do was try its best to guide the True Monarch-level fiends.
The monstrous horde surged into the realm of Gokyo, razing demon cities to the ground and slaughtering indiscriminately, leaving behind a scene of utter devastation. It was truly horrific.
Although the Imperial Seals can channel divine power and ward off harmful Qi from the Six Heavens, they cannot independently expand outwards. The purpose of constructing Jing Temples, Capital Temples, and Branch Temples is to achieve this expansion.
Only where the Dharma platform exists can it receive the protection of the Duogong and be included in the governance.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
The demonic city collapsed, the magic platform was destroyed, and the remnants of the Six Heavens' Qi immediately flooded in. Like Ku Shanji's lost territory, it once again became a cursed wasteland.
Even if the beast horde is driven away in the future, it will not be easy to rebuild.
This is no longer a losing battle for both sides. The demonic Saint is going all out, fighting with his life on the line!
The Grand Sage's Mansion.
The drumbeats shook the heavens.
The demon kings were heartbroken over their territory being destroyed, and they understood their current predicament even more.
If the Daoist sect controls the Shen Ting, they can easily strip away the Ya Lu and the connection between the Shen Ting. Then, they will only be able to submit to the Daoist sect, losing their freedom and becoming demon soldiers under the command of Daoist cultivators.
Generations to come will never be able to turn over!

Compared to the Daoist sect, the Ghost Fang Nation is truly at a moment of life and death!
A demon king transformed into his demonic form, a large monster resembling an ape. It was covered in gray fur and had a single vertical eye on its forehead.
>
At this moment, it stood before the Moaning Demon Drum, its three eyes wide with alarm, its arms circling the drumsticks, hammering fiercely at the Moaning Demon Drum.
'Bong!'
>
'Boom!'
'Boom!'
one after another.
Every strike caused an astonishing drain, even a demon king of high cultivation found it somewhat unbearable.
The gray ape's arms began to tremble, its vertical pupils were full of bloodshot, but it was still persisting, until exhaustion, using the last of its strength, struck the final blow. Its whole body was cracked with fur and blood spurted from its mouth before it fell down!
Behind him, another demon king was already waiting here. Without comforting or treating his companions, he grabbed the drumstick and immediately began to drum.
The Gray Monkey was caught by other demon cultivators and treated his wounds on the spot.
The drums echoed into the heavens.
The carps, with ferocious beasts licking their wounds, glared menacingly. They jumped repeatedly, trying to attack Jian Ying.
In the midst of the beast tide, there were also heart-stirring roars, rising and falling.
These roars grew louder and more terrifying with each one.
All Taoist cultivators understand that the good situation is only temporary, and those great calamities will sooner or later be overcome by their ferocity, rushing forward.
By then, they will face not only a beast horde, but also terrifying opponents comparable to true immortals!
Zhong MaoZhi, governs the altar.
>
The two great masters who remained behind to guard the altar successfully set up their magical formation. They sat cross-legged in mid-air above the altar, and spoke in unison.
"Go and summon the seal of Tianshu Courtyard!"
>
As soon as the words were spoken, a beam of treasure light shot out from the Shulu Courtyard and flew between the two great real people. It was precisely the square seal that Zhang Zhenjun had been holding before.
This seal is made of jade, 1.8 inches wide and 1.9 inches long. The inscription consists of six characters arranged in two rows of overlapping script.
However, there are some color differences on the seal. It seems that there were some gaps originally, which have been artificially repaired.
Two grand masters raised their arms, palms facing each other in mid-air. The Seal of the Shangqing Tianshu Institute hung between them.
"By the order of the True Lord, I command all altar masters..."
Two great masters chanted in unison.
The master of Jingquan Temple, who was sitting in meditation at the front of the altar, heard the sound and suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes gleamed with a sharp light as he rose to his feet.
"The disciple obeys!"
The host bowed respectfully towards the ancestral altar, then took out the celestial physician's staff and gently tapped the ground. With a slight stumble, his body flipped gracefully, his garments fluttering like butterfly wings in the wind.

The steps of her Bu Gu Shu were like a fairy dance, yet also graceful and majestic, inspiring awe rather than irreverence.
>
The disciples remaining at Jingquan Temple each brought out their Heaven Physician Halberds, forming an array behind the Abbot. As the Abbot stepped into the Heavenly Gang formation, they followed suit.
At the same time, throughout various Taoist establishments, such as Jingtan, Dutantan, Zongtan...
Many Taoist cultivators were practicing in front of the altar, most holding swords and dancing like they were wielding them.
Everyone used the same set of steps, and their pace was identical. They also chanted the same incantation.
>
All the spiritual lights shone brightly, responding to the ritual platform.
This is the Taoist ritual apparatus, presided over by the two great masters from the altar.
This time the rituals were performed, all talismans within Zhongmaozhi's territory were activated simultaneously. The purpose was to summon the gods.
Such a grand ceremony naturally wouldn't summon an ordinary spirit!

After completing one set of steps, the command came from the stage: to perform another set of steps. However, they remained silent and didn't act.
'Hiss!'
The color of the silver carp's ferocious beast was completely taken over by its ferocity, let out a fierce howl, and suddenly transformed into a gray lightning bolt, engulfing the sword shadow.
The next moment, a sword light slashed through the gray lightning, its aftermath easily cutting several nearby mountains in half at the waist. Rocks crashed into the beast tide.
The silver carp, a ferocious beast, was flung back with another blow, leaving a deep sword wound on its shoulder visible to the bone.
But, this sword failed to kill the ferocious catfish!
The ferocious carp screamed in a terrifying voice.
Seeing this, the other great beasts could no longer hold back. A gigantic winged beast descended from the sky, it was the same great beast that had once teamed up with the ferocious ling and li fishes.
Other places also experienced terrifying omens and auras.
The middle stage of the Taoist temple is in good condition.
Two great immortals opened their eyes together.
Heaven Master Tian Yue fought hard for them, and finally found the true deity's seal of office which still existed!
