The Purple-Robed Celestial Master has turned into a zombie?! Who can stand that?!

Chapter 244 Success?
During the live broadcast, the Celestial Master was seen continuously taking out magical artifacts.

He stole items one by one. At first, it was all normal; he only took out things like talismans and writing brushes.

But later on, large ritual implements such as memorial tablets, incense burners, and the Celestial Master's Sword were also brought out.

This is no longer magic; this is sorcery.

In the live stream, a Taoist priest explained: "In our Taoist school, this is called the Body Concealment Technique. These magical artifacts can be hidden in various parts of the body and can be taken out when needed."

Don't panic, everyone. It may look amazing, but it works on the same principle as magic.

"Taoism, stop making things up. You wouldn't be telling us to believe in science at a time like this, would you? Do you really think we'd believe that?"

"Yes, it's read as 'the art of concealing weapons within the body,' and written as 'a universe hidden in one's sleeve,' right? I understand."

"If you were to fall from a hundred meters in the air, and if the Celestial Master had a parachute on his back when he jumped out of the helicopter, I would believe what you are saying now."

He doesn't even carry a parachute; how can you expect me to believe in science?

"Where's the housing management? Kick this guy from the Daohua Bureau out!"

……

On Xuanzhen's side, all the magical artifacts have been prepared.

He arranged all the ritual implements he had brought, and then faced the direction of Panshan City.

Xuanzhen Celestial Master glanced at the crowd, calculated with his fingers, and said, "On the twelfth day of the sixth lunar month, the year of Jia Chen (Dragon), the month of Xin Wei (Metal Sheep), and the day of Ren Wu (Water Horse), all those born in the years of the Sheep, Dog, and Pig, please disperse!"

"Anyone between the ages of 30 and 35, regardless of gender, is to leave immediately!"

Seeing that there were many people around, Master Xuanzhen stated some conditions and dispersed some of them.

Taoist rainmaking practices are quite elaborate.

Praying for rain is like asking the gods to do something for you.

Different years, months, hours, people present, zodiac signs, and deities can cause different conflicts at different times.

If the people present are incompatible with the deity being sought, it could very likely lead to the failure of the matter. After all, just like when you ask someone for a favor in life, you can't bring someone they dislike along.

Others might not even let you in the door.

After dispersing some of the people, Master Xuanzhen began to take action.

He immediately donned a purple robe and began to perform the Qigong steps.

Also known as Yu Bu or Bu Dou.

It is said to have been created by Yu the Great of the Xia Dynasty, hence the name Yu Step.

Because its footwork follows the arrangement of the Big Dipper, making it appear as if it is stepping on the stars, it is also known as "walking on the Big Dipper".

To put it simply, it means walking out the numerical route of the Luoshu (洛书) on the ground, commonly known as "four vertical and five horizontal lines".

Taoism worships the sun, moon, and stars, especially the Big Dipper. It believes that by using this gait to pray to the gods, one can summon spirits, obtain the divine energy of the seven stars, and drive away evil and welcome the true.

Taoist priests often use this method to gather energy and exorcise evil spirits when practicing qi cultivation or entering mountains and forests.

Taoist magic cannot be performed without these three elements.

Incantations, spells, and techniques.

A spell is a talisman, a ritual is a step, and a hand seal is a mudra.

What Master Xuanzhen is doing now is the most orthodox rain-stopping magic.

He performed a series of ritualistic steps and lit incense in the incense burner.

Then, holding the Celestial Master's talisman brush, he dipped it in cinnabar ink and drew talismans and wrote characters on yellow paper.

This time it's not just about drawing talismans; it also requires a document to stop the rain.

To put it simply, it means informing the gods in Heaven.

At a certain time in a certain place, the rain stopped for what reason, and why the rain stopped...

Just like the memorials submitted by ancient officials to the imperial court requesting things, they were meant to be presented to the Jade Emperor.

In Journey to the West, the four travelers fight three monsters in Chechi Kingdom and compete with Tiger Power Immortal in praying for rain.

The Tiger Power Immortal was able to summon the sweet rain by following the same Taoist procedure.

After Xuanzhen Celestial Master finished writing the document, he held the Celestial Master's Seal in his hand.

The Celestial Master's Seal was stamped on the documents and talismans.

This step is the same as signing and stamping a modern contract. Each person has their own seal, and only after the seal is affixed can the superior know who wrote the document, thus preventing impersonation.

The document has been written.

Xuanzhen held the Celestial Master's Sword, dipped it in talismanic water, and lit the document with incense.

The next second, the document instantly turned into raging flames and burned into nothingness.

Incense ash drifted into the sky.

Then, he took a step forward and chanted an incantation.

"The water official has relaxed the restrictions and left Thunder City unsealed."

After reciting the incantation, he took a step forward, and surprisingly, he stood steadily in the void.

At the same time, he slashed the sky with the Celestial Master Sword in his hand, and a golden light shot into the sky.

Then continue chanting the mantra.

"The wheel breaks free from the chariot, the ghost steals the bottle. Fire flies from the sky, and the sun shines brightly. The sun blazes fiercely, and clouds hide in the valleys. So be it!"

As the incantation was finished, Master Xuanzhen stepped into the air and walked to a height of ten feet in the void.

On the ground, three wisps of incense smoke from the incense burner condensed and did not dissipate, reaching his height as well.

Incense sticks entwined around the Celestial Master Xuanzhen's sword.

The next second, Master Xuanzhen slashed at Panshan City with his sword.

The sky was visibly split in two, the dark clouds were cleaved apart, and a beam of golden sunlight pierced through the clouds and shone down on the earth.

Passersby, officials, and viewers in the live stream witnessed this scene firsthand.

They stared in disbelief, unable to believe their eyes.

"what???"

"Holy crap! Is this for real? This is absolutely shocking!"

"A sword that can cleave the heavens? Holy crap!"

Although I had previously witnessed the magical battles where Xuanzhen Tianshi slew demons and monsters.

But those battles in the past are different from today's situation. Even though Master Xuanzhen performed miraculously in the past, it still can't compare to the shock of splitting the entire sky with a single sword today.

Only then did they realize the true power of Taoist magic.

One sword cleaves the heavens, another sword disperses the dark clouds.

Too bad!
After the dark clouds were parted, golden sunlight pierced through and shone directly on Panshan City.

It was clearly visible to the naked eye that the storm, which had just been raging, had stopped as if the floodgates had been pulled in an instant.

Just when Xuanzhen Celestial Master thought that the rain had stopped and the problem was basically solved.

The next second, Master Xuanzhen frowned, sensing that something was amiss.

Something is wrong, 12 out of 10 something is wrong.

The dark clouds in the sky that he had just split apart seemed to re-coalesce after a short while.

Moreover, the storm that had just been stopped in the sky started again a few seconds later, with the wind rising again and the rain starting to fall again.
Xuanzhen: "How could this be?"

Although the ritual of stopping the rain is rarely used in Taoist magic, even the Celestial Master Xuanzhen used it only a few times.

However, this kind of rain-stopping spell is not a very powerful spell, and there is basically no possibility of it going wrong.

Moreover, the entire process was personally completed by Master Xuanzhen, without any mistakes, and it was even possible to see the sky being cleaved open.

Logically speaking, failure is impossible.

But now, the dark clouds in the sky are starting to gather again.

Has the storm gradually subsided?
How could this be?
Xuanzhen Celestial Master didn't understand it for a moment.

Hell?
The citizens, officials, and spectators below were also stunned.

"Huh? It didn't work?"

"It's started raining again in Panshan City, and the sword mark in the sky has disappeared!"

"Oh no, is it going to fail?"
