Terrifying Heavens: I'll directly worship the Black Law of Fengdu!

Chapter 168 Maoshan Enlightenment
As Zhang Fusheng rolled on the ground, he suddenly heard a cracking sound in his abdomen, and the pain, as if a thousand ants were gnawing at his bone marrow, receded like a tide.

He stood up from the ground in astonishment, looked at his hands, and said in disbelief, "What happened to me?"

Mao Qing knew the pills were working and smiled, "It's the pills that's working. Our dantian is naturally solidified. Although we can practice martial arts, we can't absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth to cultivate. Now... your limitation has been broken. You've been cultivating for many years, so you should still remember the contents of the Daoist scriptures. Try sensing spiritual energy."

While crawling on the ground, Zhang Fusheng only wanted to recover so he could have a sparring match with Mao Qing, a fellow disciple.

But at this moment, he felt his body was too light, and he couldn't help but feel overjoyed. He immediately tried to sense the spiritual energy between heaven and earth as described in the ancient Taoist scriptures.

Seeing his junior brother's face change back and forth, Mao Qing knew that he had succeeded. He stroked his little mustache and said, "I have been free of the restrictions on my dantian for a month. During this month, I have been traveling by day and cultivating at night. I have finally cultivated a trace of magic power and can use some minor spells."

He pulled a piece of yellow paper without any talismans from his waist with his left hand, held his breath, pinched it between his index and middle fingers, and gave a low shout. With a bang, the yellow paper was automatically ignited!

Zhang Fusheng asked expectantly, "Amazing! What kind of effect does it have?"

Mao Qing said, "This is the effect."

Zhang Fusheng's mind was buzzing. Was the so-called magic just burning talismans?
Senior brother, you have such an opportunity, and all you do is use it to start a fire?

His legs, which had just stood up, instantly went limp again.

Zhang Fusheng felt that Maoshan had a long way to go to revitalize itself, and sighed, saying, "You're not as good as me as the acting head of Maoshan, you'd be better off as the acting head for a few days."

Mao Qing's eyes lit up, and he said, "Actually, I've had this idea for a long time. It's wrong to push me, the senior brother who only knows martial arts, to take the blame based on seniority! The most important thing for the sect leader is not being able to fight, but having a smart mind and being able to arrange things clearly for everyone in Maoshan."

This time, I've decided to dedicate myself entirely to cultivation; the position of leader of the Maoshan Sect is now in your hands.

Zhang Fusheng felt a bit breathless. He really wanted to become the head of the Maoshan Sect, but his senior brother was being far too unhelpful, trying to shove the position into his hands as soon as he opened his mouth! In the past, he might have accepted, since his senior brother really didn't know how to manage, but now... he also needed to focus on cultivation.

He quickly changed the subject and shifted the focus to Li Xuan, saying, "Don't keep Fellow Daoist Li waiting too long, sigh."

Mao Qing also came to his senses and realized that he was ignorant of etiquette.

The fellow disciples hurried out and apologized, saying, "Fellow Daoist Li, how about we go to the backyard to have some tea and rest?"

Li Xuan waved his hand and said, "No, the opening ceremony of the Maoshan ancestral temple will begin immediately to avoid any unforeseen complications."

Mao Qing and Zhang Fusheng exchanged a glance, wondering if Li Xuan was angry or acting so urgently all of a sudden. Too embarrassed to ask, they simply smiled apologetically and nodded in agreement…

The disciples on the mountain were all mobilized, and the main hall was quickly decorated in a proper manner, with a magnificent altar and a variety of props placed around it.

By the time we were ready, it was already evening.

Li Xuan stood behind the altar, pointed his index finger in the air to light the incense and candles, flipped through the Taoist scriptures of Maoshan's patriarchs, and understood them. He then began to perform the ritual... He formed the Three Pure Ones Seal with his left hand, waved the peach wood sword with his right hand, gently touched a bowl of water to pick up a water droplet, swirled it in the air, and gently blew on it. The water droplet split into three and flew towards the three patriarchs of Maoshan, disappearing into their brows.

Mao Qing and Zhang Fusheng led a group of Maoshan disciples to stand on both sides. Although the two of them had opened their dantian, it was only for their own use. Their disciples and grand-disciples had not opened their dantian, and Maoshan's glory would decline again as their lifespans ran out.

To grow bigger and stronger, you need a constant influx of fresh blood; your disciples and followers are that blood!
Their faces were expressionless, exuding a solemn and dignified aura, but their clothes were already soaked with sweat, and they were devoutly praying that the ancestral master would descend safely...

Li Xuan stepped on the stars, his whole body surging with magical power, causing everyone to take several steps back.

He loudly recited the incantation for the Three Mao Ancestors: "Heaven and Earth are the mysteries of the universe, the root of all things. The Three Pure Ones have decreed, and the Purple Palace transmits the text. I respectfully invite Ancestor Mao Ying to ride the clouds and wind; Ancestor Mao Gu to descend to the mortal realm with his ceremonial staff; and Ancestor Mao Zhong to descend to the altar with his spirit!"

The ancient temple has been restored to its true form. With the first summons, the ancestral master's Dharma body appears; with the second summons, the ancestral master's wisdom lamp shines; with the third summons, the ancestral master's Taoist power flourishes! May the mountain gate remain pure, the incense burn continuously, the Taoist teachings endure, and protect our Cangqian region.

Hurry like a law! "

As soon as he finished speaking, the candle flames on the altar suddenly spewed out two thick balls of flame, like a fire dragon breathing, shooting straight up to the top of the hall. Fortunately, they appeared quickly and disappeared just as quickly, otherwise they would have caused a fire.

The main hall was shrouded in mist, with golden light faintly covering the statue of the Three Mao Patriarchs.

Seeing three golden figures constantly overlapping the statue, Li Xuan wondered if they were the Maoshan Patriarchs from Shi Jian and Lin Fengjiao's world.

The golden light seemed to breathe, and the figure in the center responded: "You are a judge, and although your cultivation is shallow, your methods are not bad. You have actually been able to cross countless worlds to find this remote place where the laws are forbidden."

Previously, you punished Shi Jian, Lin Fengjiao, and their group, which also strengthened the resolve of everyone in Maoshan to follow the Dao and inspired all sects to dedicate themselves to good. Now that you have summoned us, even if we are in the most remote and desolate places, we will keep our promise. Rest assured, since they belong to the Maoshan lineage, the statues can be enlightened.”

Li Xuan hurriedly said, "Can we add conditions to lifting the restriction on the dantian? Is it possible to lift it only for those who are not determined and kind-hearted?"

The central statue remained silent for a moment, then said, “All those who are registered in my Maoshan register are eligible to cultivate. Your approach is unprecedented, but it is worth a try. However, the human heart is unpredictable; some begin good but end evil, while others begin evil but end good. Even immortals are not immune to this principle…”

The statue emitted a ripple of light that spread out from the main hall down the mountain, disappearing into an unknown place before bouncing back after a long while.

Suddenly, the hand gesture in his hand changed.

Suddenly, the sound of hundreds of people reciting Taoist scriptures filled the main hall. It was impossible to tell whether they were male or female, but their voices were all powerful and resonant, stirring the heart.

Mao Qing and Zhang Fusheng immediately felt a surge of pure magical power in their dantian. They quickly bowed deeply to the statue and loudly expressed their gratitude to their ancestral master.

The disciples standing on both sides heard various cracking and shattering sounds coming from their abdomens, and they all felt a strange sense of relief. Because they had been instructed beforehand, they knew that these might be the sounds of the restrictions being lifted, and they were immediately excited and knelt down one after another.

The statue said, “Good. Now that the Maoshan lineage in this world has been enlightened, although you belong to the Fengdu lineage, you are ultimately a Xuanmen lineage. I thank you on behalf of these Maoshan disciples. Please accept this wisp of merit—although it cannot increase your cultivation, it has many wonderful uses. You can comprehend it on your own.”
