Back then, Taishang Laojun passed down three magic weapons to a Taoist priest in the lower world. With these three magic weapons, the Taoist priest laid the foundation of Taoism. He was Zhang Daoling, and later generations respectfully called him the Patriarch of Heaven.

Among the three magic weapons, the most important one is the "Zhengyi Mengwei Talisman", on which are written the names of ghosts and gods in the world, divided into twenty-four jurisdictions, and becoming the cornerstone of the Taoist court.

Taoists in later generations were able to be granted Taoist certificates and be listed in the list. Only then were they considered to be on the Taoist list and could borrow the power of many gods.

Similarly, the Taoist tradition founded by Zhang Daoling was named "Zhengyi".

But now, Taishang Laojun has given Lin Nan a note called "Nine Extremes Alliance Talisman".

Master Xuandu was naturally surprised, because Taishang Laojun's move undoubtedly gave Lin Nan the foundation and capital to establish the Taoist Court!
With this "Alliance Talisman", all of Lin Nan's future disciples can be granted entry into the Dao!

Although he was surprised, Master Xuandu did not dare to hesitate and immediately descended to the mortal world and headed for Chechi Kingdom.

At this time in Chechi Kingdom, after Lin Nan recited for a long time, many sounds were faintly heard between heaven and earth.

Those voices seemed to come from the ancient times, and also seemed to come from thousands of years ago, with countless people whispering and pointing.

This is the voice of heaven and earth, as if debating and discussing whether Lin Nan's move is reasonable and feasible.

At this moment, an auspicious cloud floated over the sky, accompanied by purple air coming from the east, stretching for thousands of miles.

Suddenly, all the people looked towards the east.

I saw a middle-aged or young Taoist priest with a calm expression riding a green ox slowly approaching, holding a piece of paper that was glowing with golden light in his hand.

"I am sent by the Supreme Taoist Ancestor to deliver this note to Tianshi Mingxuan." The Taoist said softly.

In a blink of an eye, the figure of Master Xuandu had already arrived on the high platform. He got off the green ox and walked in front of Lin Nan with the letter in his hand.

Lin Nan stretched out his hands and respectfully took the post.

After receiving it, the post glowed brightly and instantly merged into Lin Nan's body. Lin Nan's body trembled, as if thinking about something.

The next moment, he hung the post on the altar. The post swelled in the wind and turned into a huge flag as big as the sky in the blink of an eye.

A few large characters shone brightly and radiated light, covering the entire Chechi Kingdom—"Nine Extreme Alliance Power Talisman"!
When the "Nine Extremes Alliance Power Talisman" burst into dazzling light, Lin Nan's heart was stirred with waves that were difficult to calm down.

He knew very well that this moment was of extraordinary significance!
Immediately afterwards, melodious music echoed between heaven and earth, and in the sky, brilliant rays of light fell like shooting stars.

The stars sparkled in the sky, each emitting a unique light. Then, as if these stars had received some kind of call, they all cast their light towards the Chechi Kingdom, and finally gathered on the "Nine Extreme Alliance Talisman".

In an instant, a string of names appeared on the talisman, the first of which was the honorable name of "Dou Mu Yuan Jun".

Dou Mu Yuanjun, the king of all stars, is also the ancestor of all stars. She is an innate deity who has existed since the creation of the world and is the ancestor of all star gods. It can be said that all star gods in the world are her descendants.

At this moment, as Dou Mu Yuanjun's name appeared, the names of other star gods also emerged like a tide, and were imprinted on the "Nine Extreme Alliance Talisman". The starlight fell, forming unique marks.

The Moon God, the Sun God… and the stars of the universe, the gods, the stars in the sky, the six Southern Dippers, the seven Northern Dippers, the Five Dippers, the Civil and Military Immortals, the Wenqu Star Officer, the Wuqu Star Officer, the Wood Virtue Star Officer, the Fire Virtue Star Officer of the Mars, the Three Southern Qi Fire Virtue Star Officers, the Five Qi True Lords, the Water Virtue Star Officer, the Western Taibai Star Immortal, the 28 Mansions… and the Monkey Star, the Ketu Star, many planets, the Yuanchen Stars, the Six Dings and Six Jias, the Six Ding Gods, the Seven Eastern Mansions, the Seven Western Mansions, the Seven Southern Mansions, the Seven Northern Mansions, the Twelve Yuanchens, the Nine Yaos, the Eastern and Western Stars, the Southern Dipper…

These star gods occupy a pivotal position in the Taoist system. At this moment, their names appear one after another on the "Nine Extreme Alliance Talisman", like a "address book" in heaven, leaving their unique "contact information".

In the future, all disciples belonging to the Jiuji lineage, as long as they follow these names and recite the corresponding spells and prayers, will be able to communicate with these star gods and borrow their power!
This move is undoubtedly a firm support for Lin Nan!

However, this is understandable. After all, Taishang Laojun has already expressed his position first. These star gods are headed by Taishang Laojun, so it is not surprising that they behave like this.

The number of these star gods alone reached as much as 1,200. This was the gathering of the power of the stars in the sky, all supporting Lin Nan to establish his Taoist court.

However, this is far from the foundation of all the stars.

You know, the "Dou Department" of Heaven is said to have "eighty-four thousand evil stars", which shows how huge and vast the list of star gods is.

At this time, when all the names appeared, Lin Nan stood on the altar, bowed to the sky, burned incense and worshiped to express his inner gratitude.

"Lin Nan would like to thank all the Star Lords..."

However, this is not the end of it.

The sky was suddenly filled with mist, wind and thunder. In this ever-changing environment, auspicious clouds emerged, with gods standing on them.

"The Wind Department of Heaven has come to help Heavenly Master Lin Nan!" As the breeze blew, names were left on the "Nine Extreme Alliance Power Talisman". These names were the names of many gods of the Rain Department!
"The Cloud Tribe of Heaven has also come to help Heavenly Master Lin Nan!" A cloud floated down, leaving the names of many gods from the Cloud Tribe on the "Nine Extremes Alliance Talisman".

The gods of the wind, cloud, fog and rain tribes all left their names on the "Nine Extremes Alliance Talisman".

"Boom!" A flash of thunder suddenly appeared, and a black jade unicorn stepped on the thunder, as if it had turned into thunder itself.

Above the auspicious clouds, groups of gods from the Thunder Department appeared: General Nine Heavens Thunder, General Eight Directions Cloud Thunder, Envoy Five Directions Barbarian Thunder, Envoy General Thunder Department...

Thunder roared and landed on the "Nine Extreme Alliance Power Talisman". Suddenly, the names of these thunder gods appeared on it.

After being branded with the names of so many gods, the "Nine Extremes Alliance Talisman" gradually became dazzling and radiant.

Many gods in the Taoist system appeared one after another and engraved their names on the "Nine Extreme Alliance Power Talisman" in various ways. This is the power of the Taishang Laojun's words, and it is also the reason why Lin Nan first visited Taishang Laojun.

With the approval of this Taoist ancestor, the gods in Taoism would more or less give him some face. And now it seems that almost no gods would not give him this face.

The people of Chechi were already stunned. They witnessed various gods that only existed in legends appearing one after another. After all the gods in heaven appeared, a cold wind suddenly blew over.

"Da Da Da!" An unknown sound of footsteps seemed to come from deep underground, accompanied by gusts of gray mist, tightly enveloping the high altar. In the gray mist, a figure appeared faintly.

Among them were the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons, the Black and White Impermanence, various ghost soldiers and judges, and even the figures of the King of Hell. A low whisper seemed to come from the underworld.

After the mist cleared, the names of underworld gods appeared on the "Nine Extremes Alliance Talisman".

However, this was not the end. Lin Nan raised the "Yangping Zhidu Gongyin" high up.

"Today, Master Lin Nan has re-established a Taoist temple here to pass on the Taoist tradition. It can accommodate all the gods and ghosts in the world and can command all the ghosts and gods in the world!"

"Hurry up as a law!"

The "Yangping Zhidu Gong Yin" burst into a dazzling light and merged with the "Jiuji Mengwei Talisman", and then wonderful changes took place.

Even in the Tang Dynasty, thousands of miles away, the famous mountains and peaks all felt something, as if they were trembling at this distant change. The great mountain gods and land gods walked out of their homes and looked towards the direction of Chechi State.

Among the twenty-four jurisdictions appointed by the ancient Tianshi, many ghosts and gods felt the changes in Chechi Kingdom and cast their attention.

"From now on... we have one more place to call home." These gods and spirits on earth all felt this way in their hearts.

The Dao Court must be able to accommodate all gods. In the past, the Dao Court was established in the East, and all gods were enthroned, making the gods of other places outside the East seem less orthodox and of relatively lower status.

However, at this moment, in addition to the East, there is another Taoist court, which can both enfeoff gods and accommodate earth gods, and is also regarded as orthodox.

This is undoubtedly a golden opportunity for many earthly gods and those masterless ghosts and gods! It is a great opportunity for them to turn over a new leaf and change their fate.

Only when you become orthodox can you have a strong following and a sense of belonging. This principle is universal everywhere.

Therefore, in the East, powerful gods and emperors of the Three Mountains and Five Peaks, famous mountains and great peaks all took action. They displayed their magical powers of shrinking the earth into an inch and traveled thousands of miles in one step, rushing towards Chechi Kingdom to celebrate the establishment of this new Taoist court.

……

On the other side, the four masters and apprentices of Journey to the West, after crossing the Quicksand River, came to a place to rest and found a family to stay overnight.

However, this family is not ordinary people, but the incarnations of Lishan Laomu, Manjushri Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva and Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.

The Mother of Mount Li is a famous female fairy in the Three Realms, while Manjusri Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva and Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva are the four famous Bodhisattvas in Buddhism.

The purpose of their transformation into mortal appearances this time was to test the "Zen mind" of the four masters and apprentices.

Tang Sanzang brought a few disciples with him. Although Sun Wukong's Fiery Eyes were powerful, he could not see through the disguises of the three Bodhisattvas and the Mother of Lishan, and seemed a little confused for a moment.

While the Mother of Mount Lishan and the three Bodhisattvas were conducting a test, suddenly, they were all stunned and looked in the direction of Chechi Kingdom involuntarily.

"Hey, what happened to you donors?" Zhu Bajie asked curiously. The donors of this family were originally discussing marriage with Tang Sanzang, but suddenly they froze and looked to the west, which made people feel puzzled.

"This..." Lishan Old Mother reluctantly said, "We suddenly remembered that we still have some things to discuss. We are sorry to neglect the elders for now."

As they spoke, they hurriedly left the table and came to the side hall.

"Something extraordinary seems to have happened over there." Lishan Laomu couldn't help but speak. She sensed an unusual aura. "The Six Dings and Six Jias, the Day-Wandering and Night-Wandering Gods, are all heading over there now."

"I also felt an unusual aura coming from that direction. It seemed that something earth-shattering was happening." Lishan Laomu continued. She had a keen sense and had noticed many things that were unusual.

"All the gods and immortals in the sky seem to be gathered there." The Mother of Lishan thought secretly in her heart. She couldn't help but count with her fingers, wanting to know what had happened.

Guanyin, Manjusri, and Samantabhadra all looked a little solemn. Guanyin looked deep, as if she had seen through the secret of that place. "That's the direction of Chechi," she said softly, with a hint of barely perceptible worry in her tone.

"There seems to be a big storm brewing in the direction of the car!" Manjusri Bodhisattva continued, frowning. Samantabhadra Bodhisattva also nodded, expressing his agreement with this view.

Recalling the report of the Four Heavenly Kings, the Grand Master of Chechi, Lin Nan, had visited the gods in the Heavenly Palace. His behavior was quite unusual, which seemed to indicate that there would be a big move. Now it seems that the storm has quietly arrived.

The three Bodhisattvas were all restless. Every move of Lin Nan seemed to threaten the interests of Buddhism. Chechi, located in Xiniu Hezhou, was an important territory for Buddhism and could not be lost. Lin Nan's roots in Chechi had made it a hidden danger for Buddhism.

Now, Lin Nan made another move, how could they not be worried? They all began to speculate, trying to uncover the mysterious veil of Che Chi and explore why there was such a strange phenomenon. The heaven and earth seemed to be trembling.

The gods sent by the heaven to Tang Sanzang, such as the Six Dings and Six Jias and the Sun God, were now running towards Chechi Kingdom without making any noise, which further aggravated their doubts. After some calculations, they finally got some clues and showed shocked expressions on their faces.

"Lin Nan, he actually established another Taoist temple in Chechi Kingdom?" The three Bodhisattvas said in unison, their hearts filled with shock and uneasiness. They knew very well that Lin Nan's move would undoubtedly cause an unprecedented impact on Buddhism.

At this moment, Sun Wukong outside the house also noticed something strange. He frowned, not only seeing through the disguises of Lishan Laomu and the three Bodhisattvas, but also feeling the unusual aura between heaven and earth.

Although Sun Wukong was among the immortals, he was not an orthodox immortal. His ability to deduce the secrets of heaven and resonate with the heaven and earth was not as strong as that of many immortals. His strength was more reflected in his extremely tempered body. However, even so, he was keenly aware that there seemed to be something unusual between heaven and earth.

"Hey, old land god, where are you?" Sun Wukong shouted, casually took out his golden hoop and pounded the ground gently, trying to call out the local land god to find out what was going on. However, after waiting for a long time, the land god did not appear to answer.

"Mountain God, are you here?" Sun Wukong called the Mountain God again unwillingly, but there was still no response.

This scene happened to be seen by Zhu Bajie. He scratched his head and asked in confusion: "Big Brother, what are you doing? Why do you keep calling the land god and mountain god?" (End of this chapter)
