Worshipping the Dipper stars and reciting the "Northern Dipper Longevity Sutra" during this time can bring the supreme merits of disaster relief, longevity, and the arrival of both fortune and prosperity. The 9th day is particularly significant, being the birthday of Doumu Yuanjun, the Mother of All Stars, as well as the Double Ninth Festival. On this day, clear Qi ascends, making it an excellent time for ascension and immortality.

Each Emperor has their specific duties, governing all beings, possessing the divine power to reverse death and restore life, and to dispel disasters and hardships. Among them, the two Star Lords, Left Support and Right Assistant, can only be perceived through the Dipper Worship ceremony by the power of Doumu.
