The Luotian Dajiao Superior Scripture FULL NAME IS
The Supreme Dongxuan Lingbao Heavenly Lord’s Scripture on the Upper Pinnacle of the Luotian Grand Sacrifice
Also known as The True Scripture of the Luotian Grand Sacrifice.

In the 8th year of the Dazhong Xiangfu reign period of Emperor Zhenzong of Song (1015 CE), Wang Qinruo compiled and finalized The Ritual of the Luotian Grand Sacrifice by imperial order.
The scripture mentions the honorific title bestowed upon the True Martial God by Emperor Zhenzong of Song, indicating that it was likely composed by Taoist practitioners during the Northern Song Dynasty. The text is falsely attributed to the Lingbao Heavenly Lord delivering a discourse.
It first records the titles of the Three Pure Ones and the Heavenly Lords of the Ten Directions, then narrates how the Heavenly Lords of the Ten Directions, the Eight Extremes True Persons, the Three Officials of Heaven, Earth and Water, as well as the revered deities of the Five Great Mountains and Four Great Rivers, command divine soldiers and warriors to slay ghosts and vanquish demons.
It states that devout men and women who recite this scripture will be protected by all the celestial sages and assemblies, be freed from disasters and misfortunes, and ultimately unite with the Dao.
