Chapter 142 The Great Rain Dragon King

Ji Xiang was still pondering Yuan Huang's final warning until the sounds from outside the mountain entered the temple, at which point Ji Xiang suddenly woke up.

Looking at the scroll that had suddenly appeared in his hand, this was the guarantee given by Yuan Huang, a divine object used to guard against the assimilation of Christ and Mister Gu.

Once this treasured scroll was unfurled, it could swallow the wind and gather rain, summoning the azure dragon's roar of heaven and earth.

The Great Rain Dragon King Scroll.

"The Great Rain Dragon Kings are a collective term for the wind-governing and rain-spreading deities under the command of the Yuanshi Tianzun, with a total of sixty-eight recorded in the *Tai Shang Yuanshi Tianzun Says the Great Rain Dragon King Sutra*."

Ji Xiang carefully sensed the method of using the divine scroll. Once assimilation occurred, he could release one of the dragon kings from the scroll and attach it to himself. This would resist the power of assimilation. The more severe the assimilation, the more dragon kings would need to be released.

At the same time, the sixty-eight dragon kings could also form a battle formation legion. Those who received this scripture would have the power of the gods constantly guarding them, descending wind and rain to eliminate disasters and sins. When transformed into a dragon king, they would inhale and exhale the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, and what was summoned by the wind and rain was spiritual wind and spiritual rain, not ordinary. With a blow of this spiritual wind, all evils would retreat, and with a drop of spiritual rain, dead trees would revive.

"This is using external force to interfere with one's own form; a divine power."

Of course, the primary function of this divine scroll was to eliminate drought and bring rain, resolving the world's suffering. However, in Yuan Huang's hands, the power to protect oneself had been developed to the extreme. This divine scroll had already been refined by Yuan Huang. Even now, in Ji Xiang's hands, Ji Xiang could feel that the sixty-eight dragon kings were not entirely under his control.

The master of the divine scroll was still Yuan Huang.

"If the Great Rain Dragon Kings are all images branched off from Yuan Huang, then using the dragon king form to possess myself would be equivalent to sending my image to Yuan Huang. In this way, he would have a certain ability to assimilate me. This guy has good plans. While resisting Mister Gu and Christ, he also intends to subtly assimilate me."

"But the scroll is in my hands, and I also have a way to use it forcefully in other situations."

That was the *Central Jade Book*.

Speaking of which, this Jade Book itself was a method written by Yuan Huang and appeared in the distant past, even being recorded in the True Spirit Ranking Chart. Ji Xiang couldn't help but think about the matter of going back in time.

Projecting scriptures from the past into the future; this was not a generational inheritance but a sudden appearance.

Although the Dao is one foot high, the demons are ten feet tall.

But the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

"The second possibility is that he deliberately wants me to realize the problem that image possession will lead to assimilation, forcing me to use the *Central Jade Book* to control these dragon kings. But what is the purpose of this? Could it be that the *Central Jade Book* itself has hidden dangers?"

Only now did he understand that using the methods of these Yuqing cultivators always carried the risk of being assimilated. Ji Xiang smiled wryly, because his own use of the True Non-Dual Upper Book to encroach on other beliefs was essentially the same operation, just not as powerful as theirs.

The True Non-Dual Upper Book still had room for improvement.

As for the divine scroll, although it could not recognize him as its master, he still had the final say in how it was used. With the Tongtian Clear Smoke and the blank divine tablet as backup, and since this divine scroll was not at the level of "Celestial Treasure," it couldn't cause much trouble.

Ji Xiang did not leave the temple immediately.

The spiritual Qi of Qingliu Mountain was abundant, making it a rare treasure land for cultivation in the human world. The Lüshan Sect had hidden its sect beneath the rivers and mountains, opening up this territory and not interacting too much with other sects in the human world, precisely because the spiritual Qi of this mountain and river was extremely abundant.

The rivers and mountains were ancient and possessed a majestic aura. He wondered if Yuan Huang had used great divine power to move a piece of mountain and river from the past. Such a thing was not necessarily impossible.

The cultivators of the Lüshan Sect were still clamoring about the appearance of the Immortal, when, in the next moment, a flash of golden light occurred. In the main hall of the Lüshan Sect, Ji Xiang's figure suddenly appeared!

The black-robed young Daoist manifested in the hall without warning. Several Lüshan Sect grand cultivators immediately raised the magical instruments in their hands nervously, at least not being overwhelmed by Ji Xiang's aura at the first moment.

"I have heard that the Lüshan methods are quite overbearing, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."

Ji Xiang got straight to the point, appeasing the grand cultivators:

"This humble Daoist came here not for strife. I originally came to see a divine being. Now that the matter has been resolved, the reason I have not left Qingliu Mountain immediately is because I wish to see the wonderful methods of Lüshan."

"I wonder, would you be willing to impart some?"

The faces of the several Lüshan Sect grand cultivators all stiffened. One person looked puzzled, "You rode a green dragon to fly through the sky and entered the Lüshan Court of my Qingliu territory. Your aura is vigorous and definitely not ordinary. You must be a person of the Immortal Dao."

"Since you have already become an Immortal, why would the small techniques of Lüshan enter your eyes? Since you are not a member of the Lüshan Sect, with apologies, the Lüshan methods cannot be passed on to outsiders."

"If it is for the mantle of Celestial Master Xu Xun, then you have chosen the wrong place. The true mantle of Celestial Master Xu is not here."

The Lüshan Sect grand cultivator only hoped that Ji Xiang was not here to cause trouble, but when the other party asked to learn their own techniques, he immediately felt that this was definitely learning in name and robbing in reality. Therefore, he had already prepared to fight, regardless of whether he could win or not, the aura could not be lost, and the bottom line could not be breached.

"Celestial Master Xu has a spell circulating here?"

Ji Xiang was somewhat surprised. Of course, looking at the expressions of the grand cultivators in front of him, he also knew that even if what was passed down here was not Xu Xun's true mantle, it must be one of the Lüshan Sect's teaching methods; a secret skill.

"Everyone has misunderstood. This humble Daoist does not know that Celestial Master Xu has an inheritance here... Moreover, if learning spells is not possible, then can we exchange them?"

Ji Xiang's thoughts moved slightly, and a copy of an Immortal scripture appeared in his hand.

This was just a sixth-grade Immortal scripture, one of the Immortal scriptures collected in the True Spirit Ranking Chart. Although their bodies had all been sacrificed by him, the Bright Light Heavenly Book recorded their contents, and he had copied them down to control them.

An aura of warfare began to permeate, and the Immortal light rippled, causing the several Lüshan Sect grand cultivators to stare wide-eyed, their breathing instantly becoming heavy. However, someone with deep Daoism quickly bit the tip of their tongue, forcibly waking themselves from this illusion.

"Absolutely not!"

This grand cultivator's expression was extremely vigilant. The thing in front of them was indeed a scripture they had never seen before, and judging from its aura, it was definitely not a mortal object, but a treasure of the Immortal Dao!

Moreover, it had something in common with the Lüshan Sect's overbearing methods, and it could be said to be very compatible. But he still shook his head and insisted, "This thing is too precious. The Lüshan Sect has nothing to exchange for it!"

"However..."

He paused slightly.

"We will not take the Immortal scripture, but you are an Immortal who has come to my Lüshan specifically, and it is because you think highly of my Lüshan methods."

"Coincidentally, within my Lüshan, there is an ancient scripture. This scripture has been in my Lüshan for nearly a thousand years, and no one can learn it. If you can learn it, then take it yourself as a token of goodwill."

He immediately ordered someone to bring the scripture that no one could cultivate. Before long, the scripture was completely placed in Ji Xiang's hands.

The scripture roll was nameless. When opened, there were only eight large characters.

"The Supreme is in Heaven, the Great King is in Xuan."

Ji Xiang was slightly puzzled, his brow furrowing slightly, and the Lüshan grand cultivator on the side quickly explained, "This is truly a scripture. It is something that has been passed down in my Lüshan for a long time. My Lüshan is a mixed sect of Buddhism and Daoism. In the era when we cultivated the Lingbao Sect methods, this scripture already appeared, and people have been studying it for generations."

"Legend has it that Bai Yuchan, one of the Southern Five Patriarchs of the Quanzhen Dao during the Song Dynasty, came here to study this scripture. He said that in ancient times, it was the method of the shamans. First, there was the Pangu method, then the Ling Mountain method, and finally the Lüshan method. In fact, they are all shamanic methods."

"Humans under the symbols of shamanic methods, in cursive script, write 'The Supreme is in Heaven.' Today's shamans do not know the meaning of the words and only say, 'The Great King is in Xuan.'"

Ji Xiang murmured to himself, "Dao-shamanic methods."

Daoism originally had a part of ancient shamanism in it. Shamanism transformed into Daoism. When later generations of shamans re-integrated with Daoism, they could not understand the meaning of the scriptures, so they could not interpret the ancient scriptures.

"No one in my Lüshan can cultivate it. If you can cultivate it, this scripture will be yours."
