The Jade Emperor's position was also officially ranked within the Ming court!

　　Although not an official sacrifice, it was indeed one of the righteous gods! In this case, without being able to actively use a blank divine tablet, the Tongtian Ming smoke was a powerful, "unconventional" method of detaining the Jade Emperor's position!

　　After all, it was the smoke burned by the karmic fire on the Wanli Emperor's body. As long as it was a divine position ranked by the Ming court, it should be able to be detained!

　　Rumble! White smoke enveloped the Jade Emperor's divine position. At this time, Ji Xiang's divine sense avatar also returned from Dafuli, while loudly calling out to Lao Zhang:

　　"Junior Brother, quickly return your divine sense to your body!"

　　Lao Zhang was dumbfounded by Ji Xiang's operation. When Ji Xiang shouted, he came back to his senses and hurriedly turned his thoughts, returning from Dafuli to his body. When Lao Zhang opened his eyes, Ji Xiang was already awake, and within that broken statue, the Jade Emperor's divine tablet had slowly emerged from the Taixu!

　　"How, how did you do that!"

　　Lao Zhang's face was full of disbelief, and he looked at Ji Xiang with confusion and shock.

　　Dafuli Earth is not in the ordinary sense of the heavens.

　　It is not in the underworld, nor is it in the Inner Mountains and Rivers. The location of Dafuli Earth is a special and great place. The Daoists call it the Taixu, and the Buddhists call it the Pure Land, which means the same thing.

　　"This is one of my methods. I didn't expect it to work."

　　Ji Xiang pressed down on the Jade Emperor statue, which suddenly shook violently!

　　"My Tongtian Ming smoke is not a conventional reception, Junior Brother, I can only control it for a moment!"

　　Lao Zhang also saw the violent shaking of the Jade Emperor statue. The divine tablet was rapidly recovering its power. Once the power was restored, it would escape into the Taixu again, returning to Dafuli Earth!

　　Catching it is useless if you can't subdue it. This is only possible because the Jade Emperor has lost most of his divine power!

　　Ji Xiang also felt the power of the Jade Emperor's divine tablet rapidly recovering, and secretly thought that he was worthy of being the Lord of the Heavens. Only a few breaths had passed, and after only two sentences, the divine tablet had already recovered its power!

　　Lao Zhang also came back to his senses and did not dare to waste time talking any longer. He immediately used a wonderful method, reciting sentences and paragraphs that seemed to be sacrifices to the gods, gradually forming an article. After hearing these articles, the Jade Emperor's divine position gradually stabilized.

　　These articles were qingci.

　　Qingci are talismans used by Daoists to report to the Heavenly Court or summon divine generals, usually written in vermilion ink on green rattan paper, similar to the memorials used by Yuanmiao Dasheng and the Song court when sacrificing to the gods.

　　But the effect of Lao Zhang's direct recitation is much higher than the serious writing of normal people.

　　This thing is for immortals and gods to see, and the general drafts are mysterious and miraculous.

　　Ji Xiang saw the Jade Emperor's divine position stabilized, and listened to Lao Zhang's qingci, which seemed to have a taste of respect and praise, and could not help but look a little strange.

　　This Jade Emperor also likes to hear flattery. Lao Zhang fooled you with just a few words.

　　After reciting a passage of qingci, Lao Zhang stabilized the Jade Emperor's state, and then said: "Within one day, His Majesty must be asked to go through the formal canonization ceremony, and grant it the function of mending the sky, so that the Jade Emperor's divine position will not return to Dafuli."

　　The following operation requires the Wanli Emperor to complete.

　　First, a stele must be carved, praising the merits of this god, whether or not there are merits, they must be praised, and then a yiejie (worship) is performed. After this worship, the god's position is determined. The next is the canonization ceremony, which has many complicated details. After a set of canonization ceremonies is completed, this god will obtain his new function from the national prestige.

　　After that, he must complete his work.

　　Ji Xiang heard this process and felt a little familiar. It was the Investiture of the Gods.

　　The Investiture of the Gods in Xu Zhonglin's *Investiture of the Gods* is actually a simplified version of this process. This is the formal Ming Dynasty canonization ceremony.

　　At this time, the two were standing outside the Wumen Zhifang. Inside the gate, a eunuch came out of the Forbidden City and was very happy to see the two people at the gate. He greeted them and conveyed the Wanli Emperor's order to Lao Zhang.

　　During the court meeting, a major inspection of the many officials was to be carried out.

　　Learning that the Wanli Emperor was disturbed again late at night by some unknown "monster", even Lao Zhang was unhappy this time.

　　Once or twice is fine, but they come every night. Don't you have time during the day?

　t disrespecting me and my Senior Brother, two Ascended masters!

　　At the same time, Lao Zhang also issued a stay-on-the-team application to Ji Xiang.

　　"Shuntian City has just suffered a major chaos. In the Inner Mountains and Rivers, there are also many Ascended masters such as Yuanmiao Dasheng, who are eyeing the Outer Mountains and Rivers. In the shadows of the Ming court, there are also lingering remnants of the previous dynasty..."

　　"I hope Senior Brother can work with me to guard Shuntian."

　　Ji Xiang hesitated when he heard this and said, "To be honest, I was actually waiting for you before. Now that you have come to Shuntian, I can leave here."

　　"Where are you going after you leave here, Senior Brother? Back to Wudang? I invited you before to come to Longhu Mountain first. The two of us can often discuss the Dao, improve each other, and deepen our understanding of the Great Dao."

　　Lao Zhang tried hard to persuade him to stay, saying that the situation was like this, so he should stay for a few more days, and it would not be too late to leave after the national prestige was restored.

　　Ji Xiang thought to himself, he had asked Lao Zhang to go to heaven to chop down the Jade Emperor, and Lao Zhang had gone to heaven without saying a word, so it would be too unkind of him to leave now.

　　Not for the sake of the Wanli Emperor... No, the Wanli Emperor doesn't have much face anyway.

　　In short, for the sake of Lao Zhang's friendship, he had to help.

　　Thanks for the invitation, I'm in the Ming Dynasty, in the Forbidden City, resurrected for two days, there are too many gods, ghosts, and monsters, so I'll remain anonymous.

　　"I also took in a Junior Brother on behalf of the sect..."

　　"It doesn't matter, I'll help Senior Brother send that child directly to Wudang Mountain with my Yang God avatar!"

　　Although Lao Zhang was also very envious of the child with immortal bones that Ji Xiang had taken in, Ji Xiang had already made the first move, so he couldn't forcefully snatch a disciple. However, if he could pull Ji Xiang to Longhu Mountain, it would be more profitable than taking in a child.

　　"There are not many good seedlings in the Outer Mountains and Rivers. Now that we have Ascended masters, the world we live in will become better and better."

　　Lao Zhang looked into the distance. At this time, the east was bright, and a fiery red sun was rising!

　　Both ruddy and bright, illuminating the sun, moon, mountains and rivers, and in his ears, there was Lao Zhang's happy voice:

　　"How high is the Great Dao, the sun and moon rise with the Dao!"

　　"Heaven sends down a decree, ten thousand zhang to the earth!"

　　.........

　　At this time, in the northeast direction of Shuntian Prefecture, there was a convoy of tributes about to arrive within the jurisdiction of Shuntian Prefecture.

　　The leader was neither fat nor thin, with a strong torso, a straight and large nose, a long iron face, and small eyes. His hair was left and braided into three strands, he had a mustache on his upper lip, his voice was loud, his words were clear and crisp, and he was used to raising his head when walking, indicating that his status was not low.

　　He spoke to another burly man beside him, with a big belly, a clean white face, and a square face:

　　"Shuerhazi, I had a dream last night. In the dream, a god came to me and asked me if I would like to obtain this world of sun and moon."

　　"You can't dream randomly. Did you agree?"

　　The tall and strong man Shuerhazi grinned and did not take it seriously, and the Jurchen leader in the lead also looked at the rising sun in the east.

　　"Great Ming... the world of the sun and moon."

　　"Now, when I face this world, I can only lower my head and dare not look up. When I unify the Jurchen tribes, I will dare to raise my head and have the ability to face this beautiful land."
