Luotian Dajiao was one of the three great Taoist rituals of the heavens.
The nine altars and three jiaos were split into: the Upper Three Altars Golden Box Putian Grand Sacrifice, Middle Three Altars Jade Box Zhoutian Grand Sacrifice, and Lower Three Altars Yellow Box Luotian Grand Sacrifice.
However, due to a long-standing disconnect between the West Bull New Continent and Huaxia Divine Continent, these three grand heavenly rituals had been lost.
Grandfather Chen Yindou, in his study of talisman painting, sought the lost secrets of the gods of Huaxia, but to no avail. Therefore, he established the Heavenly Court with like-minded independents, searching for these lost gods.
They sought to protect these gods and attempted to reestablish the Taoist order in the West Bull New Continent, restoring the three grand heavenly rituals.
He had succeeded in reviving the simplest of them, the Luotian Dajiao, transforming it into a formidable talisman array to suppress the rebellious Creation Little Five for fifty years.
Chen Yindou was capable of instantaneously constructing the Luotian Dajiao, while Chen Shi, on the other hand, had to diligently draw talismans on the Hua Gai, requiring two full days to complete the drawing of one thousand two hundred talismanic scripts for the Luotian Dajiao.
Fortunately, this time he used a Judge Dragon Whisker Pen for drawing, and even using ordinary Black Dog Blood, the talismans bore exceptional power.
At this moment, as the Hua Gai unfolded, the Luotian Dajiao was revealed, the Hua Gai ascended, swiftly forming an acre in size and hovering more than ten zhang in the air.
That Hua Gai resembled a Luotian, divided according to the constellations into five major regions of east, south, west, north, and center, each region with its own heavenly palace ruled by East Emperor, West Heaven Golden Emperor, Southern Sky Emperor Yan, North Heaven Xuan Emperor, each commanding their respective deities.
They respectively managed departments of fighting, thunder, fire, plague, Tai Sui, smallpox, water, finance among others, all deities managing battles, wealth, and plagues.
Above Central Heaven, were the most magnificent and expansive heavenly palaces and gods.
Above Central Heaven, there were Yuanshi Tianzun in the void nature, Taishang Daojun of the limitless great Tao, Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad, High Emperor, the saints of ten directions who’ve attained the Tao, the True Lords, Thirty-two Heavenly Emperors, the supreme Jade Emperor.
Below were the myriad divine lords like Eastern Zhen, Southern Ji, Western Ling, Northern Zhen, with structures like Golden Que in the Purple Forbidden enclosure in Jade Capital, and many others.
One thousand two hundred divine shadows appeared below the Luotian, within the Hua Gai.
When the Hua Gai opened, beneath it, those ghosts, little demons, corpses in coffins, spells of the cemetery arranged by the Candle Lighter, along with various treasures he painstakingly gathered filled with yin and evil energies, vanished in an instant!
The next moment, rolling thunder and fire surged from under the umbrella, causing the Candle Lighter’s expression to drastically change as he soared up, attempting to escape.
Unexpectedly, just as he leaped up, he was entangled by fire dragons, fire crows, and tongues of flame.
Amidst the flames, the Candle Lighter shouted, "Chen Shi, you have entered the game, fallen into the heavenly net of Banshan Sect, Hundred Refinement Hall, there’s no escape!"
Before he could finish speaking, his body was burned to a charred crisp.
From within the charred remains, his Nascent Soul flew out from the fontanelle, stepping into the void, attempting to flee.
As long as the Nascent Soul escaped, he still had a chance to survive.
The Nascent Soul escaped, finding an unstable-spirited child, killed its spirit, seized its body, and as long as he did not lose memory within a hundred days, there was a chance to live another life!
A bolt of lightning from under the umbrella struck down, instantly turning his Nascent Soul into flying ashes.
Chen Shi raised his hand, and the Hua Gai shrank, falling into his palm.
The formerly acre-sized heavenly palace sceneries and the shadows of the righteous gods of those five palaces were also collected into the umbrella.
As the Luo umbrella closed, one thousand two hundred righteous gods likewise transformed back into individual talismans.
Chen Shi grabbed the Hua Gai, feeling quite pleased inside: "This talismanic weapon is truly remarkable. Sadly, I could not test the limits of this weapon."
After obtaining the Judge Dragon Whisker Pen, he did not covet this treasure, intending to gift it to the Lord of Wuwang, but he wasn’t left empty-handed; he could still use the Dragon Whisker Pen to draw talismans and spells for himself, refining some talismanic weapons.
Crucially, since the Dragon Whisker Pen was a treasure of the Underworld Judge, containing tremendous power, using this pen for drawing talismans was just as effective as using the blood from the Black Pot!
"Upon returning, I must use the Dragon Whisker Pen with the blood from the Black Pot to draw it all over again!" thought Chen Shi.
Simultaneous use would surely make the power even stronger!
"Hmm?" freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Chen Shi looked up, glancing around, but after the graveyard disappeared, it was still not bright as if enveloped by a layer of haze.
Around him, several shrines appeared, and the divine light they emitted, like scattered candle flames strategically blocking his path.
And in the sky, without knowing when, floated several talismans, hanging in the air, each character as large as a dou, with electric light connecting the talismans, continuously crackling.
His Luo umbrella could cover an acre of space, while the heavenly net arranged by Banshan Sect and Hundred Refinement Hall covered thousands of acres.
Chen Shi had seen this method before.
When Banshan Sect and Hundred Refinement Hall trapped the Youquan Wandering Dragon Sword, they used this method.
Even for a magical treasure like the Wandering Dragon Sword, there was no escape!
"So it seems, the Candle Lighter’s graveyard just now was merely a gateway to lure me into the heavenly net. Once I stepped into the graveyard, I fell into their net," observed Chen Shi.
The lights emitted from these shrines were meticulously arranged, evidently aligning with some array.
However, Chen Shi was not versed in arrays and couldn’t make out the exact formation.
Nevertheless, the scale of this formation must not be much smaller than the one used to trap the Youquan Wandering Dragon Sword!
To kill him, Banshan Sect and Hundred Refinement Hall had really gone all out!
