Da Zaojun

After leaving the Zhaiseng Secret Realm, Song Wuji and Xu Jia Zhenren went together to the Rakshasa Karma City Secret Realm.

The Weaver Girl responded cautiously, showing great respect to Master Xu Jia, and dared not utter a single word of dissent.

Song Wuji then summoned the mirage dragon.

"This is the Guiding Banner, containing a million souls, but they all believe in the future evil Buddha and are deeply poisoned. Mirage Dragon, you cultivate illusions and refine the false into the real. This artifact is compatible with you and can evolve into endless illusions."

"However, he still needs to be cleansed with the Yellow Springs water before he can properly guard the Hungry Ghost Realm."

The mirage dragon's eyes shone brightly.

"The Heavenly Weaver Girl, this is the Wondrous Image Relic, the relic of the Wondrous Image Bodhisattva of Buddhism. The goose before was the Moonlight Bodhisattva's Moon Purity Relic. In the Secret Realm of Offering to Monks, we also obtained a Golden Light Relic, which was left by Manjushri Bodhisattva."

"Since you practice the Twelve Links of Dependent Origination, do you know how to use these relics?"

“The wondrous relic is the wondrous appearance of all beings. It can bestow various wondrous appearances upon heavenly beings and humans, and can be used in conjunction with pure lands and impure precious trees.”

"These wondrous appearances are actually the various destinies and the framework of a person's life in the underworld, which is to be a human, a pig, a dog... these are the appearances of all living beings."

Song Wuji looked at Master Xu Jia, who said, “We Taoists call it the Five Paths of Reincarnation, which are the creatures of fur, scales, feathers, snails, and insects, such as tigers, sheep, rats, horses, pigs, and dogs.”

"Scaled insects include snakes, fish, lizards, pangolins, and all other creatures with scales."

"Feathers refer to birds, such as chickens, ducks, peacocks, and other avian creatures."

“The snail is a creature with bare skin, no hair, no scales, and no armor, including humans, frogs, and earthworms.”

"Insects include shelled insects, beetles, and all creatures with shells or armor, such as turtles, snails, locusts, and mantises."

"It is also said that it is viviparous, oviparous, moisture-born, ovoviviparous, or metamorphic."

"The Buddhist school does not include the realms of hungry ghosts, gods, or bodhisattvas in the cycle of reincarnation."

"Their system divides people into different classes based on their inherent nature, and they create their own set of rules to deceive their followers."

"Once you get past those deceptive words, you'll realize that this cycle of reincarnation is actually a pagoda, or Mount Sumeru."

"The summit of Mount Sumeru is the place of the Buddha and Bodhisattvas."

"The mountainside is where the gods live."

"The foot of the mountain is where the eight classes of beings live."

Further down, the places suppressed by Mount Sumeru are the realms of humans, hungry ghosts, and animals.

"This relic has cultivated a wondrous form, which is the wondrous form of a celestial being. However, since the human path has been reshaped and humans have taken control of heaven and earth, we will naturally not let them explain it anymore."

"Therefore, after the final calamity, when Maitreya holds the palm of his hand, it will be a pure land on earth, and Mount Sumeru will no longer exist."

“Then let Tianluo take charge,” Song Wuji said. “Cause and effect, destiny, these also belong to the Twelve Links of Dependent Origination.”

"It is nothing more than life and death, human and non-human."

Xu Jia added, "There's no need to worry about those Bodhisattvas, Buddhas, or anything like that."

"Essentially, it's about population transformation and the cycle of life and death."

"Then we can integrate that fake Maitreya's great Dharma wheel into the market of cause and effect, making it a spinning wheel. Whichever wheel it lands on, that can barely serve as the foundation for a small cycle of reincarnation."

"That's settled then!" Song Wuji made up his mind: "I will manage the Human Cauldron and the laws of the mortal realm. Tianluo, Shenlong, and Xu Jia Zhenren, I still need your help to set up the Reincarnation Cave Heaven!"

"it is good!"

They all readily agreed, and Song Wuji immediately took charge of the Human Dao Secret Realm Spirit Mansion. Using it as the core, he activated the Human Cauldron, which encompassed everything, especially the meaning of "Nuwa" within it.

On this cauldron are two images of Nuwa: one depicting Nuwa creating humans, and the other showing Nuwa mending the sky. At this moment, both images of Nuwa light up simultaneously.

Nuwa's creation of humans is a feat of creation, and it can provide an image for the revival of humanity.

Mending the sky implies restoring order and rules, and in this context, it means restoring the cycle of human existence.

Song Wuji originally intended to follow Xu Jia Zhenren's advice and transform the six secret realms into places of reincarnation.

However, guided by the Nuwa diagram, one sees the five secret realms—the Rakshasa Karma Market, the Monk's Alms Realm, the Magpie Bridge Realm, the Old Dragon Pool Realm, and the Phoenix Terrace Realm—combined.

The dragon governs its essence, and the phoenix governs its spirit.

These two secret realms, together with the Creation Pool within the Blessing Monk Secret Realm, nourished the Hungry Ghost Tree and the Celestial Tree, causing them to generate Nirvana Fire, which possesses the power of rebirth.

Meanwhile, dragon energy begins to be nurtured in the Creation Pool, which is the [Supreme Pure Creation Dragon Pool].

Song Wuji had a thought in his mind: The dragon originated from an ancient totem. By conquering the tribe of deer, one obtains deer antlers; by conquering the tribe of snakes, one obtains long antlers; by conquering the tribe of large fish, one obtains scales... Therefore, the dragon has twelve aspects.

"This dragon is not so much a dragon as it is a person."

"Among the twelve zodiac animals, the Dragon actually represents the ancient people who were active, hunting, and waging war during the Chen hour (7-9 AM)..."

"In that case, it makes sense that everyone is like a dragon."

As for the [Magpie Bridge] Secret Realm, it is named after the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, which symbolize the union of Yin and Yang. This is the secret realm that endows the Hungry Ghost Tree and the Celestial Tree with complete "personality".

Those who are resurrected will no longer fall from trees or be reborn in lotuses; however, such rebirth is merely an illusion, not reality.

This illusion will transform people into reality within the Magpie Bridge Secret Realm.

The Rakshasa Karma City is a place that stores cause and effect, memories, and all kinds of information, including how to arrange reincarnation.

But these secret realms were seen moving slowly through the Heavenly Net, eventually transforming into five points of light, guarding the spiritual palace of human destiny.

But then they saw the Grade 3 Qi Luck Stone Lotus shining brightly, forming a net connecting heaven and earth, and these five secret realms completely became subordinate secret realms of the Human Dao Qi Luck Spiritual Palace.

Regardless of whether it's a dragon, phoenix, hungry ghost, or bodhisattva, they are all subject to the decree of the state, with a large amount of fortune being extracted, but also a large amount of fortune being given back.

Dark clouds appeared in the sky, and a large amount of lightning began to fall.

But as soon as it landed, it was absorbed by the Heavenly Net and transferred to all the secret realms. Even the power of creation within the lightning was absorbed separately by the Human Cauldron and transformed into Creation Lightning Water.

For the first time, the stove grid and stove book inside Song Wuji's body voluntarily left his body.

The stove is in good condition, displaying a magnificent appearance of the fire element.

The Stove Book was embedded in the Human Cauldron, activating the Human Cauldron's [Myriad Races Calamity] properties, and injecting a wisp of the essence of all the demons that Song Wuji had killed into it.

Subsequently, the Creation Thunder Water was consumed, and the Stove Book returned to Song Wuji's body.

A new token was born in the thunderous waters of the Human Cauldron.

[Humanity Reincarnation Decree]

The Lord governs all matters of human reincarnation and rebirth.

The moment this token was created, it aligned with the decree of the state, representing both the human state and the cycle of reincarnation.

Its meaning is that within the scope of human society and the state, it can preside over all matters of reincarnation.

The heavenly thunder continues unabated. Why send down this thunder when the Heavenly Court has fallen? Is it some kind of divine intervention?
However, under the immense power of the human realm at this moment, it could only transform into the Creation Thunder Water.
