Fried Salted Fish
Chapter 392 Great Wilderness Demon God
The Korean War had lasted for seven years, leaving the mountains, rivers, and marshes a devastated wasteland. Over a million people had died in those seven years, so it could be said that bones were scattered everywhere across this land.
The souls of the Japanese dead would return to the East Yellow Springs, controlled by the ghost and god path. The souls of the Korean people who died on Korean soil were also drawn into the East Yellow Springs by the ghost and god path, as Korea's national prestige was shattered and its national fortune plundered. Now that the national fortune had returned, although the national prestige was small, it could at least protect some of the newly deceased wandering souls.
However, some of these souls were devoured by the East Yellow Springs, but the resentment they left behind in life permeated the entire landscape.
Crack....
"To create a Celestial God, one must first have an object to bear it."
"That's true, but after seven years of war, where are there any land god temples left? Without a basic object to bear it, grabbing a powerful great ghost might work, but the Huang family's Chuma Xian (spirit medium) says that if it is a Yin element, it may be difficult to withstand the transformation of the Celestial God, and it will dissipate. In the end, putting aside ghosts and gods, this is something from the pre-Qin period. And ghosts, monsters, and Yin gods are all products of the Yin element of later eras, which are opposed to the inherently Yang Celestial Gods."
"........"
"In that case, wouldn't it be the same if I directly created a Netherworld Celestial God?"
In the end, the most important thing was to give the Celestial God who was about to be created a "physical body", and it was best to use the temples of the Land, City, or Mountain Gods, borrowing their wooden or clay bodies. Because they themselves were Earth Gods, using their statues could directly obtain a superior vessel.
Ji Xiang thought so. Just as Ji Xiang was about to give up, he suddenly saw a collapsed temple not far away. The specifications did not seem to be those of an ordinary Land God temple, but it had already become a ruin, and the statue inside was headless. Ji Xiang was immediately delighted when he saw this statue, and he reached out and telekinetically retrieved the huge statue. Without the existence of the statue, the temple collapsed in an instant, turning into a pile of dust.
Thump!
The headless statue was erected on the ground, and there seemed to be some incense remaining inside.
"Get ready to start."
Ji Xiang sensed the surrounding resentment and already had an idea for creating a certain deity in his mind. So, he let out a strange, long howl. This sound was extremely terrifying and did not sound like a human voice at all!
This was a Demonic Dao Heavenly Sound!
In an instant, the many resentful spirits within the mountains and rivers were stimulated by this demonic sound, like boiling water. It was as if hundreds of beasts had gone mad. In an instant, the world changed color, and these resentful spirits turned into storms from every corner of the mountains and rivers, all gathering near Ji Xiang!
In an instant.
The sky was dark and the earth was dim, and not a trace of light could be seen. All kinds of hatred seemed like a vast ocean, trying to destroy all living things.
"Silence!"
The second demonic sound was released, its power even more ferocious than the previous one. In an instant, the powerful force of the boiling and surging resentment was forcibly suppressed. However, it seemed that consciousness was condensed within the resentment.
In life, they had been wantonly slaughtered, and in death, they could not even turn into vengeful ghosts. Even their souls no longer existed, leaving behind only a pervasive aura of resentment. It was under such circumstances that these resentful spirits gathered and continued to accumulate and condense, and they faintly began to take on irregular shapes.
"Towering resentment has been transformed into an existence that has form but no substance. All the driving force comes from the intent of resentment. The will of all things in the world is a miraculous thing. Since you want so much to transform into a human form, then I will grant your wish."
Ji Xiang raised his hand, and a burst of Qi and blood and demonic Qi erupted from his palm!
The Qi and blood gathered into the shape of resentment, and the demonic Qi also accumulated inside. The Qi and blood were used to create the physical form, the demonic Qi was used to build the foundation, and the resentment was used as the source.
"Incense, gather!"
Ji Xiang stretched out his hands and then chanted a brand-new incantation.
Tongbai Palace Transformation Celestial God True Immortal Incantation!
Secret incantation!
The so-called secret incantation is different from normal incantations. All ordinary incantations are obvious incantations, while secret incantations are hidden incantations. Most of the incantations with the word "secret" only have one sentence, but there are also three, four, or five words, decreasing in that order. When it comes to six, eight, or ten words, they are ordinary secret incantations, and are not considered superior techniques among secret incantations.
That is to say, the stronger the secret incantation, the fewer the incantation sentences recited, with one sentence of one word being the strongest.
Only the Celestial Gods and ghosts and gods who can understand the meaning of its existence are the ones who know it.
And the most powerful of the obvious incantations is the "song formula".
The obvious incantation chanted in the form of a song is the most powerful incantation that can be understood and heard by people. In the Jade Purity Hidden Book, if one cultivates to the seventeenth chapter, according to the demonstration given by the Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Lord, it is a piece of song formula!
Song of the Three Realms Demon King!
Ji Xiang spoke and chanted the incantation. This secret incantation had three sentences, each with three words, totaling nine nines. The incantation words were spoken in obscure and difficult-to-understand tones.
First of all, as soon as the first three words fell, changes immediately occurred in the world!
In an instant, the wind and clouds surged, and the Qi roared like the sea. Within this world, countless mountain, river, tree, and grass Qi actually gathered!
"Transform the Qi of the mountains, rivers, trees, and grasses into celestial marrow, and use the celestial marrow as the source to derive divine power. This is the power of the essence of heaven and earth, the foundation of the divine path."
The method of creating Celestial Gods was not created by the Chuma Xian of Changbai Mountain, but was a method given to them by the Heavenly Palace. The Tongbai Heavenly Palace needed the Chuma Xian to help them establish gods in the human world, and then they could descend to the human world by using the shells of these gods. However, the Chuma Xian tried to combine this power with Shamanism, and their previous attempts had always been of this kind.
However, as they said, the too-primitive Shamanism had no future, and what they condensed was only a demigod position, so they needed to borrow the national fortune of other countries. This was the Changbai Mountain's revival plan, and they planned to use this method to create a batch of indigenous gods that belonged only to them.
Even these Chuma Xian themselves could create their own "Celestial God positions", just like Ancestor Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling, and like the other Heavenly Masters, they all had their divine names in Fuli, and this was the result of the continuous offering of incense by the imperial court and the common people, day and night.
After the Qi of the mountains and rivers had gathered for thirty days.
A burst of incense swirled up and bloomed with blazing brilliance.
The earth swelled up and turned into a kiln, enveloping the headless statue within it!
"Come!"
With a wave of his hand, Ji Xiang threw the ball of resentment into the headless statue, entering the kiln to be roasted by the incense!
Igniting the incense and chanting the Tongbai Heavenly Palace's unique incantation, he created the most primitive form of the desired god. In the initial creative process, Ji Xiang also used the Central Jade Book for shaping. Thus, under Ji Xiang's face-pinching technique, the originally ferocious face condensed from Qi and blood, and the resentment demon with asymmetrical and twisted arms like a monster, were transformed into the image of a black-clothed scholar in the blink of an eye.
"This is much better. If you want people to believe, the majestic side is used to punish people, and the beautiful side is used to attract believers."
"Bodhisattvas have a compassionate appearance with lowered eyebrows, and also have the countenance of an angry Vajra. This is the same principle."
In this regard, Buddhism is even more experienced than other religions, deeply understanding that if gods and Buddhas are to be used to attract believers, they cannot be allowed to keep a straight face all day long. Who doesn't want to see the gods and Buddhas smile at them? If they glare with one eye as soon as they enter the temple, although it helps people to repent, after a long time, those who have ulterior motives will not dare to offer incense.
If these shallow believers are scared away, it will still be their own loss.
At this time, the first stage of creating the Celestial God was over, and the crucial second stage was entered.
Ji Xiang spat out three more words, this was the second sentence.
As these three words settled, the void shook, and Ji Xiang was instantly able to sense the existence of countless Dharma realms in the world!
In this stage, the important thing was how to replace the "canonization" and "national fortune" given by the dynasty during the original process of ascending to become a Celestial God. This blessing was used to make contact with heaven and man, so that the divine position rose to the Great Fuli Earth and became a god dwelling in heaven.
In Ji Xiang's understanding, some of the Celestial Gods ascended in this way. The one that the Ming Dynasty constantly canonized first was the Great Emperor Zhenwu, upgrading the Great Emperor Zhenwu from one of the Four Saints to a Divine Ruler. This was done by constantly canonizing, constantly blessing, and constantly sharing the national fortune. The powerful Celestial Gods would in turn protect the country. Before being broken by external forces, this was a virtuous cycle.
Then, Guan Yu was also one of them. At the beginning, during the Liang Dynasty, there was a legend of Guan Yu, the City God of Jiangling City. In the Song Dynasty, Guan Yu began to be blessed as a Celestial God, and the Yuan Dynasty continued to canonize him. The canonization was interrupted in the Ming Dynasty, and it was not resumed until nearly forty years ago.
And at this time, how to replace the canonization and national fortune, the means used, in addition to the Tongbai Heavenly Palace's immortal incantation, the materials required were both in heaven and earth, and not in heaven and earth!
Ji Xiang released a force of great power! The world began to turn black and white!
"Western Liang Li Gong Shou Heavenly Emperor Dharma Realm!"
Ji Xiang still had the Western Heavenly Emperor Dharma Realm fragment that he had obtained, and this was precisely the thing to replace "national fortune"!
"Treat the Dharma realm as a small country, and the canonization is to replace it with the Dharma realm master's own fortune. However, the Yuanshen realm can receive a portion of the Dharma realm's power, but how many people in the world dare to say that they can be the master of the Dharma realm?"
To control a Dharma realm, even the weakest Dharma realm, one must at least become an immortal, and not an ordinary Celestial Immortal. One must have at least the level of Dao practice of a Taiyi Scattered Immortal or a Daluo Scattered Immortal, or be a Flying Immortal, having reached the peak of the Celestial Immortal path. Therefore, it was absolutely wishful thinking for mortals to use this method to create Celestial Gods.
"Scattered Immortals who have fallen from the Flying Immortal realm and failed to comprehend Taiyi and Daluo are the minimum condition for becoming the master of a Dharma realm!"
"But I'm lucky, there are fragments of the Dharma realm here. I have the final say in this small Dharma realm. I am the master of the Dharma realm!"
Ji Xiang thought that the Chuma Xian should know about the Forbidden City being transformed into a Dharma realm. The fact that Lord Huang could so easily hand over the means to create Celestial Gods to himself, the first point was to show goodwill, at least not to be enemies, and the second point was probably because he believed that if one wanted to create Celestial Gods, one had to have the help of the Forbidden City.
Or rather, he should have believed that after this method was presented, it would eliminate the previous method of separating national fortune to create Celestial Gods, thereby increasing a large number of real Celestial Gods in a short period of time. With this batch of Celestial Gods, they could be used for reception, thereby creating a large number of Divine Generals!
Ji Xiang couldn't help but smile softly as he thought of this.
This was truly a gift package sent by the "Inner Mountains and Rivers".
At this time, the Dharma realm was being fused into the body of the black-clothed scholar, and the final third stage had been entered.
This stage was to accept the faith of the masses and obtain the will of the people from it. After undergoing the blessing of this step, one would truly become a god. In essence, this step was very similar to the operation of Prince Lu's ascension to immortality.
Both were using the will of the people to reach the intensity of the will of the ascension realm itself, using this as a substitute to become one of the immortals and Buddhas.
"The third stage is not so easy to succeed. It's enough for the second stage to succeed."
Ji Xiang did not spit out the last three words, and these three words were also the key to achieving the final Celestial God.
The power of this secret incantation was extremely great, and the effort required to develop it was naturally not small. Half of the means of creating Celestial Gods lay in the master of the Dharma realm, after all, the master of the Dharma realm had to give up their own fortune to replace the national fortune, and also had to tear apart their own Dharma realm as a small country. The other half of the means all lay in this secret incantation.
Without this secret incantation, even if another eight thousand years passed, Celestial Gods could not be created.
Ji Xiang secretly thought that it was worthy of being one of the Southern Sect ancestral courts. However, although this method was terrifying, the consumption on oneself was also quite large. Now that he had contributed incense, fortune, and even fragments of the Dharma realm, the mana consumed in this refining process was about half of his own.
According to what Lord Huang said, if one wanted to refine a powerful Celestial God, one could not be stingy with one's mana. The more mana injected, the more powerful the Celestial God created would be. Of course, when the divine position of the Celestial God reached the thirteenth rank, each time it went up, the investment required was huge, and one even had to continue feeding fragments of the Dharma realm and tearing apart the Dharma realm master's own fortune.
To create a being of the level of the Five Heavens Demon King, a Heavenly Department tenth-rank great position, at least half of the fortune of a Flying Immortal Dharma realm master would need to be cut off!
"Unranked..."
Because Ji Xiang had not completed the final step, the Netherworld Celestial God in front of him had not yet been ranked.
The last step needed to be completed, which would take at least several years, or even decades, depending on the level of the Celestial God.
The amount of incense worship required was extremely large. If several immortals helped, they would also need to exhaust all their vows, to the point of being like a lamp running out of oil, before they could be completely created.
"Come on, open your eyes, I need to give you a name. Can you bear the burden of this thousand miles of land...?"
Because Ji Xiang used the new consciousness condensed from those resentful spirits, it was equivalent to directly giving the divine position a main body. Compared to simply creating a divine position, this could be said to be a one-step process, directly creating a god!
The black-clothed scholar opened his eyes at this time, the resentment still fluctuating, but he already possessed normal emotions and cognition. He respectfully saluted Ji Xiang, and restrained all the resentment outside his body: "Please, Demon Lord, grant me a name."
Ji Xiang pondered for a moment.
Then he spoke, his voice like thunder:
"I command you to be the master of all the ghosts, demons, and Yin gods in this thousand miles of land, to hold my fortune, and to carry out great Demonic Dao affairs. You can go to various places to appease wandering souls, manifest everywhere, so that the Korean people will build temples and worship you, in order to complete your divine position's determination."
"I bestow upon you the name... Da Huang Luo (Great Wilderness Fall)."
Da Huang Luo, one of the twelve times, means that all things are flourishing and greatly emerging, and suddenly fall.
