Chapter 290 Moonlit Body
Chapter 290 Moonlit Body
"Oh?" Yang Silang was quite surprised. "Your father left us a gift?"
Xiao Yue blinked, smiled, and shook her head.
"It wasn't specifically for you and the housewife."
"My father foresaw that if I were to refine the Moon Goddess's body, I would surely receive protection and assistance from someone."
"So it's only natural that he would prepare some gifts of gratitude for these 'righteous men.'"
Yang Silang nodded in agreement.
In any case, this last emperor of Yan acted in many unexpected ways.
Consider that he prioritized his daughter over his son, emptied the entire treasury he had left for his daughter, and then made a deal with the last leader of the Taiyin Sect.
Every single thing he did showed that he was not someone who played by the rules, but his scheming was quite profound, and he was no ordinary person.
It is also possible that it left something inside the moon goddess's body.
Or, to put it more negatively.
The deal between that Yan Emperor and the last leader of the Taiyin Sect was more than just the transfer of power, right?
If the soul refining the Moon Goddess's body wasn't Xiao Yue herself, the Moon Goddess's body might just explode with a bang.
He must have left himself a backup plan to ensure his daughter wouldn't miss out on his gifts.
The blessed land was guarded by Li Hongen, that old servant, in conjunction with the formation.
The Taiyin Guizhen Technique and the Yuepo Shuangshen Talisman are protected by the remnant soul of the last leader of the Taiyin Sect.
It's a series of protective measures, multiple layers of security.
Yang Silang waved his hand.
"No rush. You have refined the Moon Goddess and now possess the Moon Essence Body."
"What's the secret behind this rehearsal?"
Hu Jiaoniang nodded.
"I have long heard of the great name of the Taiyin Sect of Yan Kingdom. Today is the perfect opportunity to witness their true skills."
Xiao Yue blushed and hurriedly shook her head.
"I'm a beginner and not an expert."
"I've just practiced a couple of moves haphazardly, please correct me if I'm wrong, Master and Master."
She was inside the house, and she performed a set of "washing stream hand" movements on the spot.
However, everyone's attention was focused on her lunar avatar, the body of the Moon Goddess.
The two men, one in charge and one in a subordinate position, moved in perfect unison, as if they were cut from the same mold.
The only pity is...
Because Xiao Yue was only at the level of an Iron Bone Martial Master, the blood and qi fluctuations emitted by that Moonflower clone were also only at the level of an Iron Bone Martial Master.
Its avatar is the sea, but its main body is a small river, so it cannot unleash the boundless terror of the sea.
Meanwhile, as Xiao Yue practiced the Huanxi Hand, starting from the second round of punches, the punching style of the Moonlight clone changed, showing subtle variations.
By the third and fourth rounds, their punching styles had become noticeably different.
Xiao Yue practiced the Huanxi Hand technique, which was a version modified by Fu Liunian for his great-granddaughter Fu Hongying.
Its main theme is water, emphasizing adapting to circumstances, using softness to overcome hardness, and hidden strength within the waves.
The Moonlit Clone's Washing Stream Hand technique clearly possessed an added element of Yin True Intent.
When he makes a move, his hands move in an elusive and unpredictable manner, making it impossible for people to discern where the killing move comes from.
In the end, it was her main body that learned the techniques of using her clone to generate power and make punches.
Xiao Yue explained that this is the first function of the Moonflower Avatar: "One Body, Two Forms, Approaching the Yin."
Any martial arts technique or fist technique that falls on the Moonflower clone will be transformed and modified into the most suitable method for the Taiyin Pure Intent.
At the same time, the main body can share the experience and consciousness of the clone, and the clone's cultivation will be synchronously fed back to the main body.
Xiao Yue then sat cross-legged and circulated her energy, intentionally making sure everyone could see it clearly.
Beneath the thin clothes of the clone, a milky white light shimmered, emanating from the dantian and circulating throughout the body—clearly the Zhou Tian Qi circulation technique of the Huanxi Hand.
Xiao Yue circulated her internal energy for one cycle, and her Moonlight clone also circulated it in sync.
After she finished practicing, I carefully reviewed the results and said it was about twice as fast as her usual practice.
The Moonflower Avatar itself possesses immense Yuan Power, which can be absorbed through the cultivation main body.
The way the Moon Goddess restores her vitality is simple and straightforward: just let her be nourished and exposed to more moonlight.
Xiao Yue cupped her hands again and bowed to Hong Ying.
"Master, I need to demonstrate martial arts with you, which may be offensive."
Fu Hongying's spirits lifted.
"Okay, come on..."
She has been a Steel-Dirty Grandmaster for several years, and recently spent half a year cultivating in the blessed land. She feels that she should be able to break through to the Grandmaster realm in one or two years.
Of course, Xiao Yue's cultivation speed was even more monstrous.
However, she can still maintain her composure as a master for now, even with the help of the Moonflower clone, she is only at the Iron Bone Martial Master level.
I can still take on two at once!
Intrigued, the group went outside to the courtyard.
It was late at night, and all was quiet outside. The moonlight shone down, bathing everyone in a silvery glow.
Fu Hongying and Xiao Yue, the master and disciple, stood facing each other.
Because there are two identical Xiao Yue, and under the moonlight, the Moonlight clone conceals its brilliance, making it almost indistinguishable from the real person.
Xiao Yue refined the Moon God Body, but her martial arts cultivation did not increase significantly. However, her Taoist cultivation directly skipped the Possession Manifestation Realm from the Wandering Soul Realm and directly reached the Object Control and Body Condensation Realm.
Moreover, when ordinary people reach the Body Condensation Realm, their spiritual soul manifests in their bodies with only half the strength, blood, and true energy of their original body.
However, the Moonflower clone is clearly not included in this category, as it perfectly replicates Xiao Yue's original strength, making it virtually identical.
"Let's begin..." Yang Silang coughed.
"Master, I'm sorry..."
As soon as Xiao Yue spoke, Yuehua's clone, who hadn't moved, rushed towards Fu Hongying, her steps light and ethereal, like dust lightly touching the ground.
In the blink of an eye, she was in front of Fu Hongying, extending her palms as if arranging flowers.
This is the first move of the Huanxi Hand technique: opening the door to welcome guests.
Fu Hongying's eyes narrowed, and she countered with the same move.
The two women began to fight under the moonlight.
After the redesign, Huanxi Hand is now as graceful as a startled swan, with palms moving like swimming water, and the movements are elegant and beautiful.
The two women interacted back and forth, like two butterflies fluttering in the air, a truly pleasing sight.
Fu Hongying was cautious at first, but after a dozen or so moves, she realized that Xiao Yue's palm strikes were no different from before.
She chuckled softly.
"Little Yue'er, you're still too young..."
"Watch how I capture you..."
She lightly extended her palm and launched a series of attacks. Suddenly, her arm grew a foot longer, transforming her palm into a claw, and grabbed Xiao Yue's neck.
Xiao Yue hurriedly raised her palm to dodge.
Unexpectedly, Fu Hongying struck down with her palm, their hands meeting, and a powerful force surged from her palm.
Her true energy was far inferior to Fu Hongying's. A powerful force came and disrupted her stance, causing her to spin around like a top involuntarily, leaving her completely exposed at the back of her neck.
Fu Hongying let out a charming laugh, placed her hand on his neck, and was about to use her true energy to seal his acupoints and immobilize him.
“Eh…”
A flash of light appeared in her palm, and the warm body of her little disciple suddenly became empty, leaving only a trace of coolness at her fingertips.
Fu Hongying felt as if she had pinched a piece of tofu; with a slight effort, Xiao Yue's neck shattered.
"what……"
She froze, only to see Xiao Yue's body become ethereal, leaping forward a few steps before solidifying and breaking free from her grasp.
"When was it changed...?"
Fu Hongying exclaimed in surprise, realizing that she had captured Yuehua's clone in one move.
However, Xiao Yue's main body and clone were more than ten steps apart. Fu Hongying didn't even blink, and there was no sound of the clone stealthily moving through the air. She didn't even move in place.
How did they switch places?
"Master, I'm serious..." Xiao Yue giggled.
Two Xiao Yue attacked from the left and right. Fu Hongying hurriedly and carefully dealt with them. Fortunately, she had a high level of martial arts and was not struggling to fight two opponents.
The problem is that she can't tell the difference between the real body and the clone. Every time she fights with the opponent's true energy for a few moves and uses binding techniques, Xiao Yue, who falls into her hands, turns into moonlight and dissipates.
Xiao Yue, like a stubborn plaster, kept her firmly rooted to the spot, allowing her to gain power but not victory.
"Such fast movement..." Yang Silang squinted.
In his method of observing mountains and shooting with his eyes.
Every time Xiao Yue was captured, her body would flash instantly, a faint figure drifting between her main body and her clone, so fast that it was almost impossible to catch.
Then the main body and the clone have already switched places. This is no longer within the scope of martial arts, but involves Taoist arts and supernatural powers.
Fu Hongying couldn't capture her little apprentice with her palm because she couldn't lock onto his true form.
Instead, Xiao Yue attacked from both sides, constantly shifting positions with his true body and clones, pinning her firmly in place and leaving her unable to defend herself.
After a short while, Fu Hongying was panting and sweating, which was a sign that her true energy had been greatly depleted.
Xiao Yue on the other side was also tired, but she was able to persevere because she used her clone to consume too much of Fu Hongying's physical strength and true energy, while her main body actually moved less and consumed less energy.
"I'm not fighting anymore..."
Fu Hongying jumped backward and out of the circle.
"It's like throwing the moon into a well; all that comes out is water droplets, and the moon isn't hurt in the slightest."
"How are we supposed to fight like this?"
Xiao Yue smiled and went up to her, hugging her arm and acting coquettishly.
"Master, don't be angry. I know you were being lenient with me, weren't you?"
A sly glint flashed in Fu Hongying's eyes, and she suddenly reached out and grabbed Xiao Yue by the back of the neck.
"Let's see how you run now!"
The two women reconciled and giggled incessantly.
Yang Silang and Hu Jiaoniang nodded in approval.
As expected of the Taiyin Sect's treasure trove of both martial arts and Taoism, what appeared to be a martial arts contest was actually Xiao Yue using her Taoist clones to keep Fu Hongying occupied without any resistance.
If the two were to compete at the same level of martial arts, Fu Hongying would suffer a crushing defeat.
If Xiao Yue were to use a weapon at the same cultivation level, Fu Hongying would probably already have more than a dozen large, transparent holes in her body.
In other words, in a one-on-one situation, this Moonflower clone is not afraid of any opponent of the same realm.
Meanwhile, Fu Hongying and Xiao Yue reconciled.
Xiao Yue slapped the top of her clone's head again, and four objects immediately flew out from its head.
A round, bright blue garment; a long, winding plain silk robe; a mirror; a jade pestle.
These are the same magical treasures that circulate around the image of the Primordial Goddess of the Moon, and the Taiyin Sect has also created imitations of these treasures.
That great pill is called the Moon Marrow Pill. Consuming the water in which it has been soaked can enhance one's cultivation. Possessing it is equivalent to having a continuous supply of pills for nourishment.
Moreover, it can also detoxify and promote health.
Not to mention how much money it saves, it also saves time in finding medicinal herbs for alchemy.
Su Nu Ling is skilled at capturing and trapping people. It can be used as a weapon in combat or as a magical artifact. Even wandering ghosts and other intangible beings can be captured by it.
The mirror is called the Ghost Moon Mirror, which is good at creating illusions. Xiao Yue said that if she uses this mirror when she fights with her master, there will be more than a dozen Xiao Yue Mirror clones around her.
These fake clones are impressive, but they have little offensive power. Consequently, it's not a pity if they are destroyed; they are just illusions.
These fake clones are impressive, but they have little offensive power. Consequently, it's not a pity if they are destroyed; they are just illusions.
The key is that each mirror clone can become her and Yuehua's clone in a swap position.
Fu Hongying felt a toothache just thinking about the thought of a dozen or so Xiao Yue pounce on her, unable to distinguish the real from the fake, but able to instantly turn the fake into the real and deliver a killing move.
Huh... This incredibly strong person is my apprentice?
That's fine.
