Dream of the Red Chamber: Starting from Immortal Martial Arts

After Yan Chixia released the second incantation, his breathing became somewhat rapid. He took a moment to adjust his breathing and then continued chanting.

The three incantations, combined with the Five Sacred Mountains seal, proclaim: "Subduing Heavenly King, descending to establish Heavenly Unity; Heaven and Earth, mysterious and yellow, Yin and Yang, wondrous laws. Great One Heavenly Venerable, hasten as the law commands!"

The four incantations, forming a sword-like finger gesture, proclaim: "Heavenly net and earthly Yama; the sword of wisdom is drawn, slaying demons and vanquishing spirits; all calamities turn to dust. Taiyi Tianzun, hasten as the law commands!"

The third incantation is a defensive spell that forms a protective layer on the body, preventing all vicious and cruel spells such as curses and suppression from being applied to it.

As for the fourth incantation, it is also an incantation for controlling magical treasures.

As Yan Chixia finished his incantation, the sword box behind him hummed, and an endless chilling killing intent descended from the sky, causing the souls of everyone present to be restless. The ground behind him alone was carved with deep trenches by the invisible energy!

Perhaps the fourth spell was too powerful, so Yan Chixia only demonstrated it and did not actually release it while controlling the sword. Instead, he closed his eyes slightly and covered the sword box with his divine sense power to soothe the collectively berserk flying swords one by one!

"call--"

Yan Chixia would often exhale a breath of white air, which would cause a strong wind to blow in front of him, making the grass and trees dance.

He turned around and said to Jia Tang with certainty, "This incantation was passed down from the Heavenly Venerable Taiyi. The most powerful one is the fourth incantation. In addition, this method relies on the prestige of the Heavenly Venerable to forcibly borrow the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth to fight the enemy. Therefore, after fighting the enemy in a certain area for too long, it will often be unable to borrow spiritual energy."

"Secondly, to activate this method, one must first visualize the form of the Heavenly Venerable, then unite one's mind and spirit, internally recite the Heavenly Venerable's name, and externally perform mudras and chant incantations."

"This spell must not be used too often. After each use, it must save one person from danger and ensure their safety; otherwise, great calamity will befall you!"

Jia Tang's eyes flickered slightly, a hint of surprise appearing on his face. Was it necessary to rescue someone in danger?

No wonder he is a top-tier master known as the one who hears the cries of suffering and saves people from all directions!

Could it be that, in the original TV series, besides Yan Chixia's pity for Ning Caichen, there was also the reason for this protective spell?

How exactly was this rescue carried out? Someone like him, fighting against the Black Mountain for Ning Caichen, almost losing his life in the process?

"May I ask, brother, how exactly is this rescue carried out? What are the rules and regulations?"

Yan Chixia shook his head and laughed heartily: "There are no set rules. To use this method, one needs the approval of the Heavenly Venerable. Otherwise, the divine image will not reside in one's heart. Since it can be approved by the Heavenly Venerable, it must be for us righteous people. Therefore, we only need to act according to our abilities and have a clear conscience!"

Can I say I have a clear conscience?

Jia Tang nodded slightly and said, "Does Brother Dao have a statue of a Heavenly Venerable beside you, so that we may offer our worship?"

"There is an image of the Heavenly Venerable in my residence. I will go and fetch it."

"Excellent."

Jia Tang was excited. This was a spell passed down by the Great Emperor Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun, one of the Six Imperial Venerables of Haotian, and it must have endless wonderful uses.

The next moment, Yan Chixia appeared with the scroll and image, and slowly unfurled it with a solemn expression. The Heavenly Venerable was wearing a crown and a robe of rosy clouds, his true form of the wondrous Dao, with a purple and gold auspicious appearance, sitting on a nine-colored lotus throne. Nine green lions with flames spewing from their mouths surrounded the throne, and nine-colored divine light surrounded his head, radiating boundless brilliance. Many immortals, warriors, Vajras, divine kings, golden boys, and jade maidens served him at his side.

After Jia Tang led Jia and the others in paying their respects, he carefully examined the statue of the Heavenly Venerable with a reverent expression, imprinting it into his mind.

At that very moment, in a mysterious place beyond our knowledge, thought, and perception, a great deity, invisible, immeasurable, and unfathomable, seemingly an embodiment of the Great Dao, slightly raised his eyelids and uttered a faint murmur: "Hmm? The Yanhuang human race, not belonging to that realm, achieving Dao through physical body? And they've fallen victim to the method of stealing fortune? Interesting~"

Unaware of this, Jia Tang drew a drop of bright red martial blood on his right index finger, tracing an eight-trigram on his left palm. He silently chanted the name of the Heavenly Venerable, and proclaimed: "Heaven and Earth are boundless, the universe borrows its laws; laws arise from the heart, endlessly regenerating. Taiyi Heavenly Venerable, hasten as the law commands!"

After the incantation was finished, the surrounding spiritual energy surged wildly into his palm, leaving Yan Chixia dumbfounded. He succeeded in one go?

This Taoist master has been practicing diligently for almost a year!

Jia Tang nodded in satisfaction, then waved to Yan Chixia. A halo of light condensed in mid-air, enveloping a divine tiger covering a mountain, radiating Daoist essence. It was as if a terrifying tiger roar exploded in Yan Chixia's mind. Ning Caichen, who was visualizing the image, glanced at it out of the corner of his eye and immediately fainted.

Yan Chixia released his divine sense, immersing himself in the Daoist essence of the visualization diagram, his body radiating inexplicable fluctuations.

On the other side, a heavily made-up, hideous old woman appeared beside a locust tree deep in the mountains, surrounded by a group of beautiful ghosts, uttering a voice that was neither male nor female.

"And what is that plague-stricken Yan Chixia doing? Is he perhaps warning me?"

"That damned little Taoist priest, does he really think I'm afraid of him?"

Xiao Die, standing to one side, giggled and said, "Grandma, a lot of men came this morning. First, it was a scholar, then a soldier. I guess Yan Chixia must be scared."

Seeing this, Xiaolan quickly said, "Grandma, once that Taoist priest has calmed down, my sisters and I will go and help you collect your qi and blood. We'll make sure you have a great feast."

The tree demon nodded in satisfaction. Then, seeing Nie Xiaoqian's pained expression, it grabbed her by the neck and coldly asked, "Xiaoqian, how dare you be distracted when I'm questioning you? Don't think you can act with impunity just because you've been promised to Lord Black Mountain. You're nothing but a lowly, lustful ghost!"

As Nie Xiaoqian felt her soul becoming increasingly ethereal, she said in a trembling voice, "Xiaoqian dares not. I was just thinking about how to collect qi and blood for Grandma."

The tree spirit laughed loudly upon hearing this, its voice echoing with the interplay of yin and yang: "Hahaha, Xiaoqian is still the most obedient and the one who pleases Grandma the most. After midnight, you will go and collect essence blood and vital yang. Grandma will definitely reward you handsomely then."

"Yes, thank you, Grandma."

"Hehehe!"

Amidst the laughter of the many children and imps, the tree spirit vanished into the ground.

···

Inside the temple's main hall, the numerous Tiger Guards, having returned from exterminating the dried corpses, sat cross-legged, contemplating the image of the Heavenly Venerable and reciting his name in their hearts.

At the center, Jia Tang kept chanting the title of the Heavenly Venerable, his spirit remained clear, and the things he had not understood in the past about the five visualizations in his mind suddenly became clear at this moment.

Within the Yellow Court, the divine soul continuously traced Dao marks with its fingers, one, two, three.

Three more martial runes appeared in the Yellow Court and then flew into the Dantian in an instant, connecting with the original nine martial runes, exceeding the limit.

The next moment, the original Golden Tiger Suppressing the Mountain and the Golden Eyes Breaking Evil slowly merged and condensed into a martial rune, and the other martial runes in the dantian also merged.

As time went by, the soul continuously comprehended supernatural powers, and the martial patterns in the dantian continued to merge and grow.
