Chapter 862 Taiyin True Essence
The Moon's Node (or Luna) is inherently a malefic planet associated with killing and chaos. It disrupts the order of the birth chart, indulging in desires and leading to debauchery. What was originally a smooth and auspicious birth chart will turn into a state of excess, disaster, and misfortune after the Moon's Node falls into it.
The "Moon Devouring Stars Technique" draws upon this principle.
Master Jin Ting generously shared his knowledge without reservation. To practice this method, one must first establish a virtual star, also known as the Moon's Node. This virtual star cannot be inside or outside one's birth chart. Being inside will interfere with one's destiny chart, while being outside will result in a loss of power. If one has no other suitable vessel to absorb, the most suitable thing is one's shadow.
The Great Immortal Jin Ting instructed Chu Yun Tong Zi to refine the shadow into a phantom star, and then instructed him on how to refine the Demon God Banner in his hand using the Moon Goose Devouring Star Technique, swallowing the demon god within into the shadow and seizing the demon god's power for his own use.
Chu Yun Tongzi followed the instructions, with Jin Ting Da Xian guiding him. He was like a lone boat adrift on a river, moving with the current and going with the flow. He successfully mastered the Moon Devouring Star Technique and swallowed the demon god into the illusory star.
The shadow of Chu Yun Tong Zi kept writhing, and the demon within struggled to escape the confinement of the illusory star, displaying an extremely terrifying and distorted appearance in the lamplight.
However, the demon god was already controlled by the banner, and every time he tried to break free, he was suppressed by Chu Yun Tong Zi waving the banner. No matter how much he struggled, he could not escape the suppression of the illusory star.
The demon god's power was originally the water flowing in the river. When it fell into the illusory star, the water began to overflow and merge into the illusory star, where it was seized by Chu Yun Tong Zi. Over time, the demon god would become weaker and weaker, while Chu Yun Tong Zi would become stronger and stronger, until he was completely devoured by the illusory star.
A layer of blue light flashed across Chu Yun Tongzi's face—the magical power he had seized from the demon god. Chu Yun Tongzi was incredibly shocked, yet also filled with an overwhelming joy that made him almost unable to control himself.
Everything went smoothly without any obstacles. Of course, cultivation is not that simple; it was only by riding on the boundless power of the Golden Court Immortal that he was able to cultivate effortlessly.
He looked at the Golden Court Immortal, who sat in the quiet room, as cold as a celestial deity.
"Great Immortal..." He hesitated only slightly before kneeling down at the feet of the Golden Court Immortal without hesitation: "I am willing to serve the Great Immortal faithfully and beg the Great Immortal to accept me as his disciple!"
He thought the immortal would agree without hesitation, since they were no relatives or friends, and the immortal would pass on such supernatural powers to him for that reason.
To everyone's surprise, Jin Ting Daxian chuckled softly upon hearing this, his laughter growing louder and echoing in the quiet room: "Serving you hand and foot? What a shameless and stubborn fool you are!"
"Get out!"
With a shout, the Golden Court Immortal swept Chu Yun Boy away by a gust of wind.
"Bang—" The door slammed shut in front of Chu Yun Tongzi. Chu Yun Tongzi got up from the ground and stared blankly in the direction of the door, his mind a mess.
why?
why?
If you didn't have ulterior motives, why did you teach me supernatural powers?
Why won't you accept me as your apprentice?
why?
"Fellow Daoist, fellow Daoist?"
Two calls startled Chu Yun Tong Zi awake. Chu Yun Tong Zi turned around and saw the young Taoist priest in Mingxia Temple looking at him with a probing gaze: "Fellow Taoist, what's wrong?"
Chu Yun Tongzi sniffed and said, "It's nothing, I was just thinking about something."
He smiled and said, "Just call me Chu Yun. May I ask your name?"
After exchanging names with the young Taoist, Chu Yun Tongzi took the opportunity to strike up a conversation with him and inquire about the affairs of Mingxia Temple.
Mingxia Temple is a legitimate Taoist sect that follows the Heavenly Palace Orthodox Law. It has two halls dedicated to the Sun and Moon Gods. It has twelve disciples. When the abbot left, he took two with him, and the remaining ten are still practicing in the temple, with the eldest disciple, True Man Guiyuan, as their leader.
Even minor Taoists cannot be considered disciples; they are merely errand boys learning the Tao. They know nothing of the inner workings, but they are quite knowledgeable about other matters.
Chu Yun Tongzi kept everything in mind, and a strong determination grew within him. He refused to believe that he was of no use to Jin Ting Da Xian, and he was determined to do something to prove himself to him.
Jin Ting Da Xian had already focused his mind on meditation and had no interest in paying much attention to this seemingly trivial move.
Mingxia Temple adopted a policy of indifference towards the arrival of Jinting Daxian. Because of Lady Hui's influence, they allowed him to cultivate in the temple, but did not want to have too much contact with this demon king.
But this superficial peace was easily shattered at night.
The Mingxia Temple practices the Heavenly Treasury Orthodox Dharma, which originates from the Sun and Moon Palaces. The temple uses water and fire to refine formations and worships the Sun and Moon Gods, who in turn nourish the practice.
However, when Jin Ting Da Xian cultivated, he connected with Tai Yin and recklessly seized the essence of the moon, which aroused the presence of the Moon Goddess in Mingxia Temple. On the one hand, she helped Jin Ting Da Xian guide the moon's essence, creating the unusual phenomenon of a waterfall of moonlight. On the other hand, she fed back the Tai Yin primordial energy that she had cultivated within her body to support Jin Ting Da Xian's cultivation.
Such an anomaly was immediately noticed by Master Guiyuan, who promptly activated the formation to stabilize the Moon Goddess's image, thus preventing the Golden Court Immortal from stealing too much of the Yin Yuan Qi.
Master Guiyuan, accompanied by several fellow disciples, blocked the entrance to Immortal Jinting's gate. Watching the Taiyin Yuan Qi that had dissipated into the void being swiftly absorbed by the demon king inside the gate as if it had never existed, Master Guiyuan felt his heart bleed with pain. He sternly said, "Immortal Jinting, my Mingxia Temple invited you here as a guest. Why did you steal the Taiyin True Yuan from my temple? Please return it immediately to avoid damaging our harmony!"
The door to the meditation room of the Great Immortal Jinting suddenly opened, and the ever-burning lamp inside flickered, illuminating a figure that resembled the bright moon.
Jin Ting Da Xian narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "When I guided the Moon Essence Elite to cultivate, I happened to receive help from the temple. I thought it was a true master who was intentionally helping me, but I didn't expect it to be a misunderstanding."
Master Guiyuan, with his long black beard and his Sun and Moon robes fluttering without wind, frowned immediately upon hearing this: "Since it is a misunderstanding, please return the Taiyin True Essence."
The Great Immortal Jin Ting shook his head and said, "It cannot be returned. The Taiyin True Essence has already been refined by me; how could it be returned?"
Before Master Guiyuan could speak, his junior brother couldn't hold back any longer: "You're lying! That Taiyin True Essence is the essence of our cultivated vital energy. A single strand of True Essence is equivalent to several months of hard work. How can it be refined so easily?"
"That's right! We're usually so reluctant to use our Taiyin True Essence during our own cultivation, but you've taken it away for no reason. Give it back!"
Jin Ting Da Xian smiled and said, "I said I don't have it, and I don't have it. If you still want it, I can't return the Taiyin True Essence to you, but I can return the Taiyin God-Slaying Blade to you."
The Great Immortal Jin Ting's body emitted constantly flashing moonlight, slowly stretching into a crescent-shaped blade, shimmering with a soul-stirring eerie light.
Master Guiyuan recognized the danger: "Fourth rank?" His expression turned solemn, and he immediately summoned a Yin-Yang magic bead. As the bead spun, the energy of the entire Mingxia Temple instantly changed, with Yin and Yang reversed, revealing boundless killing intent.
The location of the Great Immortal Jin Ting kept changing within the formation. Although they were only separated by a door, the distance between them kept increasing.
At Master Guiyuan's command, all of his junior brothers vanished into the formation.
Master Guiyuan, holding his magic beads, faced off against Immortal Jinting from afar, feeling as if he were caught in a dilemma.
Jin Ting Daxian strolled leisurely, one Taiyin God-Slaying Blade after another coalescing until a curved blade with uneven edges materialized around him. Only then did he slowly speak: "Yin and Yang are the essence, water and fire are the manifestations. The formation is good, but it still cannot defeat me."
Master Guiyuan sneered: "Whether we can do something or not, we'll only know after we fight."
Just as the two sides were about to fight, a wisp of purple smoke flew past swiftly and landed in the formation, shouting, "Don't fight!"
