"Grasshead Deity!"
You Xuande looked at the floating fluorescence with a somewhat displeased expression.
This was a Grasshead Deity from the northeast, who, although possessing some magical powers, was far inferior to the righteous deities of heaven and earth.
Just as the Grasshead Deity was about to land, the lotus on Wang Zhong's head suddenly opened, revealing a miniature Black Tortoise Sacred Beast.
Crack!
Crack!
Crack!
The Grasshead Deity's fluorescence, which was trying to land, was bitten by the Black Tortoise Sacred Beast and swallowed in a few bites.
"This!"
You Xuande looked at Wang Zhong with a somewhat stunned expression. Although he was not particularly fond of Wang Zhong's connection with the Grasshead Deity, Wang Zhong's overwhelming aura greatly exceeded his expectations.
Bang!
The divine seat representing the Grasshead Deity suddenly fell, indicating that a trace of its divinity had been completely devoured by the Black Tortoise.
Chirp!
A larger and brighter light ball flew up.
"Beast Deity, although it is a deity of a different kind, it is much more powerful than a Grasshead Deity!"
You Xuande thought to himself, somewhat self-comforting.
Crack!
Another crisp sound.
The divinity of the Beast Deity was firmly bitten by the Black Tortoise, and no matter how it struggled, it could not escape the fate of being devoured.
Bang!
Another divine tablet fell.
Zhang Jintao and the other real people who were observing the ceremony all had their eyes wide open, looking at the fallen divine tablets on the altar with disbelief.
Although only a trace of divinity descended, a deity is still a deity. Today, Wang Zhong's aura and the Black Tortoise completely shattered everyone's worldview!
Chirp!
Another light ball flew up!
Crack!
Crack!
Crack!
Three consecutive crisp sounds, and the three traces of divinity were instantly bitten and shattered by the Black Tortoise.
After devouring six traces of divinity, the divinity radiance on the Black Tortoise became more intense, and faintly, seven stars could be seen twinkling in the divine light!
What is this?
The old Taoists all looked at the Black Tortoise, whose body was surrounded by divine light, in deep thought.
Chirp!
Chirp!
Chirp!
Chirp!
Chirp!
Five traces of divinity gathered into a larger and brighter light ball, and within the light ball, celestial books appeared.
This was a celestial official in charge of the celestial books, although ranked among the immortals and situated in the central government of heaven, they were only minor officials.
The coiling snake, which had been perched on the back of the black turtle, suddenly shot out.
The snake, as thick as a chopstick, wrapped around the entire light ball, and its mouth, as large as the light ball, swallowed it without hesitation.
After the fist-sized light ball entered the snake's body, a fist-sized bulge appeared on the snake's body. As the light ball was slowly swallowed, its size rapidly decreased.
Crack!
Crack!
Crack!
The turtle and the snake, as if in a competition, continuously devoured the descending divinity.
In the end, they were not content with waiting for the divinity to come, and the turtle and snake combined into a fist-sized Black Tortoise Sacred Beast, chasing and devouring the light balls on the divine seats!
Traces of divinity were being devoured!
One divine tablet after another fell!
Even the most powerful deities representing the stars of the heavens were devoured several times!
The previously proud and confident light balls, as if encountering a natural enemy, trembled and cowered on the divine seats!
In stark contrast, the Black Tortoise's aura was at its peak!
The grass deities hiding on the divine seats were mercilessly devoured by the Black Tortoise!
After eating for a while, the Black Tortoise, in a very human-like manner, belched, and with a lingering look at the standing divine tablets, it finally transformed into a point of golden light and flew into Wang Zhong's Shenting acupoint.
The Shenting acupoint is located between the eyebrows, also known as the Yintang, the Sea of Consciousness, and is called the Shenting by Taoists because it is said to be inhabited by a deity.
The surviving divinity on the divine tablets tentatively flew out, circling around Wang Zhong. When Wang Zhong slightly moved his arm, the divinity scattered like frightened rabbits. After a while, when the Black Tortoise did not appear, they finally dared to fly up from the divine seats.
All the divinity had a sense of narrowly escaping death.
The divinity, like refugees, shot up into the sky!
Fearing that they would be devoured by the turtle if they were too slow!
In a blink, all the divine tablets, glowing with fluorescence, had fallen!
You Xuande looked at the scene in front of him with wide eyes, and the other sect leaders and real people also had a look of bewilderment!
What was supposed to be a connection turned into a grudge!
These deities would probably not dare to descend for a long time!
Some real people, not believing in the evil, closed their eyes and recited incantations, but no matter how they summoned and invited, there was no response from any divinity!
Everyone looked at Wang Zhong in the field with a bitter smile, somewhat speechless!
Wang Zhong looked at the sleeping Black Tortoise in his Shenting, feeling a sense of joy. After devouring a large amount of divinity, the Black Tortoise began to grow and evolve!
...
"Divination by Spirit Medium!"
You Xuande, seeing the awkwardness in the field, signaled with his eyes to proceed to the next item!
The sect leaders and real people looked at the spirit medium entering the stage with strange expressions. Divination by spirit medium is a mysterious ritual that can communicate with the spirits of heaven and earth through the medium.
Some monks' dharma names and Taoist names are bestowed by the ancestors of the dharma realm.
Today, the deities of the heavens and earth suffered a significant loss at the hands of Wang Zhong, although only a trace of divinity. However, they would certainly not give Wang Zhong a good face.
Everyone could think of this, and Wang Zhong naturally could too!
He looked at the spirit medium as if constipated. The spirit medium's body was painted with cinnabar talismans, and his eyes were covered with red cloth. The bamboo branch in his hand was inserted diagonally into the flattened yellow sand.
As the incantation was recited faster and faster, the spirit medium's body began to abnormally tremble!
The flags planted around the altar fluttered without wind, making a pattering sound. However, the deities in the sky seemed to be frightened, and no matter how the Taoists chanted, the flags only trembled, and no divinity descended.
You Xuande looked at the scene with some anxiety, flicked the duster in his hand, and began to chant incantations. With You Xuande's participation, the chanting became even louder.
Suddenly, a crystalline trace of divinity descended from the sky, but its posture was somewhat strange, as if it had been kicked down from above!
The bamboo branch, which had been stationary, began to move slowly on the yellow sand under the influence of an external force.
Calamity!
The deities' attitude towards Wang Zhong was evident from the name "Calamity" bestowed upon him.
Wang Zhong looked at the yellow sand with a somewhat strange expression. This name was absolutely unprecedented and would not be seen again!
You Xuande's face turned dark, as Wang Zhong was given the name "Calamity."
This was not only an insult to Wang Zhong but also to the Wudang lineage!
The bamboo branch was about to write something else in the sand.
Suddenly, a more powerful trace of divinity descended from the sky.
The trace of divinity that had just descended into the medium's body was kicked out like a ball.
Yes, it was kicked out!
The trace of divinity flew up crookedly into the sky, and everyone could almost hear its thoughts: What grudge, what enmity!
Everyone looked at the unfortunate trace of divinity, although they did not laugh out loud, their shoulders were trembling uncontrollably.
So unlucky, was it not a broom star descending to earth?
Indeed, the crowd guessed correctly. You Xuande personally invited the deity, but out of respect for the face of the Spirit Official, the trace of divinity had to descend. However, there was a disagreement about which deity should descend.
In the end, the weakest and least influential broom star was kicked down by the Celestial Official!
This was the reason for the trace of divinity's rage, but before it could vent its anger, it was kicked back into the sky by someone else.
"Name, Black Tortoise!"
The bamboo branch in the medium's hand moved again, forming four characters that resembled a turtle squatting and a crane dancing.
Black Tortoise!
Zhang Jintao and others looked at Wang Zhong with envy and surprise.
It must be understood that dharma names also have different ranks. To have one of the four divine beasts as a dharma name is a great honor!
If this child does not die, he will surely become a major figure in the Taoist world!
"May I ask which ancestor has descended?"
You Xuande asked with some excitement, respectfully.
"Zhang Sanfeng!"
After writing these two characters, the trace of divinity in the medium's body suddenly flew up and shot into the sky.
"Salute to Ancestor Zhang Sanfeng!"
All the Taoists in the Purple Heaven Palace knelt on the ground, touching their foreheads to the ground, with looks of shock and excitement.
"Ancestor has not forgotten us!"
Just as everyone thought that Zhang Sanfeng was about to ascend to heaven, a sesame-sized light point suddenly shot out from the sky.
The light point, light as cotton, gently landed between Wang Zhong's eyebrows, at the Shenting acupoint.
Sizzle!
Wang Zhong felt as if he had been burned by a branding iron.
A dark red dot was branded between his eyebrows with golden light.
A mysterious cultivation technique, "The Ancestor's Acupoint Guarding Scripture," appeared in Wang Zhong's mind.
Seeing that Wang Zhong had memorized the technique, the trace of divinity transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into the horizon!
