Chapter 868 A slight punishment, to observe the effect
"Great Immortal!" Madam Hui's expression changed drastically upon hearing this unexpected turn of events.
The Great Immortal Jinting raised the Moon Image Instrument, which overlapped with the mysterious light behind him.
As the celestial orbit rotated, the Taiyin Divine Mirror, protected by the twelve lunar gods, and the Yuebo Demon Mirror, blessed by the Moon Star, revealed the complete Taiyin principles behind him.
This completeness does not mean that the lunar phase instrument contains all the principles of the moon, but rather that the supernatural powers and methods of the Great Immortal Jinting are complete and without any obvious flaws.
Jin Ting Da Xian explained in the same way: "I have done what I promised to help you, and I have taken action when it was time to act. It's not like you released me for nothing. But since Gong Mingfu returned my Moon Phase Instrument, I cannot refuse his request."
“I cultivate by entering the Dao through the Taiyin, using the unorthodox to surpass the orthodox, cultivating the Moon and the Void Star, always taking the unorthodox path. The Moon Phase Instrument is a treasure for my life cultivation, and also the embodiment of my perfecting of the Dao, making the unorthodox and the orthodox complement each other. My promise to help you deal with Gong Mingfu was originally to retrieve the Moon Phase Instrument.”
Madam Hui said urgently, "If Immortal Mingxia captures this scoundrel, she can still return the Moon Phase Instrument to you!"
Gong Mengbi laughed: "Madam Hui, there is absolutely no way that True Person Mingxia would return the Moon Phase Instrument."
Madam Hui suddenly looked at Mingxiazi.
Ming Xiazi's expression was cold and stern. She glanced at her sideways and uttered only two words: "Not bad!"
Before the words were even finished, the Jade Rabbit Immortal's Dharma form had already moved.
Nine crystal lamps vibrated in unison, and the deep blue light of the Yin energy surged toward Gong Mengbi like a tide.
Before the divine light arrived, the Palace Dream Spirit Platform already felt a bone-chilling cold—this was no ordinary moonlight, but the light of the Taiyin Refining Spirit, which specifically erodes the soul, melts bones and dissolves spirit. Those who are affected gradually lose their three souls and their seven spirits wither away.
At the critical moment, the Golden Court Immortal activated the Moon Phase Instrument, and a crystalline rainbow shot out from the Taiyin Divine Mirror, like a silver veil falling down, enveloping Gong Mengbi.
When the Jade Rabbit Immortal's divine light collided with the crystal rainbow, it melted away silently, like snow meeting boiling water.
Lady Hui finally understood that both Jin Ting Da Xian and Ming Xia Zi practiced the Taiyin Dharma, but Jin Ting Da Xian's path was more refined and unique than Ming Xia Zi's.
Not only does the Great Immortal Jinting need the Moon Phase Instrument to correct his deviations and restore his righteousness, but Mingxiazi also needs the Moon Phase Instrument to help him cultivate the Taiyin and control the extraordinary with the righteous. Once this Moon Phase Instrument falls into Mingxiazi's hands, there is absolutely no way it can be returned to its original owner.
Just like now, with the Golden Court Immortal present, the Jade Rabbit Immortal is practically useless.
A cold glint flashed in Mingxiazi's eyes, and she raised the Yin-Yang Ring in her hand.
Dividing into sun and moon, red on the left and blue on the right, they transformed into twin wheels and soared into the sky. The sun wheel headed straight for the Golden Court Immortal, carrying the true fire of the sun to burn demons and eliminate evil; the moon wheel went straight for Gong Mengbi, drawing the moon to devour souls and pursue their lives.
The Golden Crow God and the Jade Rabbit Immortal, who were originally one, were thus separated.
The Golden Crow God rose on a fiery cloud, with nine glazed lamps behind him shining brightly, emitting a crimson divine light that illuminated the entire void in a crimson hue. Combined with the manifestation of the sun, it was as if the Golden Crow had fallen to earth, scorching the land for thousands of miles.
The Jade Rabbit Immortal shifted his body, lightly tapping the cassia branch in his hand. The Taiyin Divine Light, like needles and rain, followed Gong Mengbi relentlessly. The moon's reflection froze the void like amber, determined to kill Gong Mengbi under the Taiyin Divine Light.
The Great Immortal Jin Ting turned the Taiyin Divine Mirror, shooting out a crystal rainbow that headed straight for the falling sun. Yin and Yang clashed, and the two were locked in a stalemate.
The Golden Crow General, wielding a golden mace, charged forward, the phantom of a golden crow swirling on the mace before smashing it down on the Golden Court Immortal.
Twelve Taiyin God-Slaying Blades materialized around Jin Ting Daxian, swirling around him as they attacked Jinwu Divine General.
Gong Mengbi took a deep breath, pointed his fingers to the sky, and then a loud bang was heard. A bolt of divine lightning descended from the sky, struck the moon, and sent it flying.
Gong Mengbi summoned a long wind, which swept down layers of rain clouds, obscuring the sky and causing the Taiyin Divine Light to lose its direction.
Having gained a respite, Gong Mengbi immediately conjured up clouds and thunder, creating a dense array of lightning bolts in the void. These lightning bolts transformed into divine thunder and struck the Jade Rabbit Immortal, causing him to be overwhelmed and unable to defend himself.
Mingxia frowned, wondering why these two foxes still possessed such formidable magical power. They had clearly fought to the point of exhaustion, almost to the point of being completely drained, yet now they seemed remarkably vigorous.
He looked up at the sky, where lightning flashed and clouds surged. He immediately understood that these two foxes were masters who could borrow the power of heaven and earth.
Gong Mengbi is in control of the eight winds and can command thunder and rain. He can summon the celestial energy of the nine heavens and draw thunder as weapons. Jin Ting Da Xian is in charge of the phases of the moon and governs the Taiyin (the moon). He can borrow the lunar eclipse and use the moon as a weapon.
Mingxiazi himself was also capable, but his mastery of the Taiyin Dao was inferior to that of Jinting Daxian, which gave them a chance to catch their breath.
Ming Xiazi sneered: "A mere trick, yet you dare to act so arrogantly in my Water and Fire Refining Array?"
He pointed, and a Yin-Yang magic pearl flew up from afar, hovering in the heavens.
The water and fire refining array roared and spun, the yin and yang energies intertwined to form a boundary, like a curtain falling from the sky, separating the inside from the outside, forming a self-contained Dharma realm.
In an instant, the wind and clouds ceased, the lightning dissipated, and even the moonlight was locked outside the formation.
Gong Mengbi cannot summon the wind, and the Immortal Jinting cannot summon the moon.
The crystalline rainbow of the Taiyin Divine Mirror rapidly shrank, pressed down in front of him by the Sun Ring.
The clouds and mist were broken by the light of the moon, and the Jade Rabbit Immortal raised the cassia branch, the divine light of the moon sweeping towards Gong Mengbi's face.
At that very moment, Gong Mengbi summoned a divine pearl wreathed in lightning. The divine light of the moon swept across the pearl, immediately causing the void to tremble. The pale blue divine light was shattered into tiny specks of light, scattering like fireflies.
The original balance of Yin and Yang within the Water and Fire Refining Array was disrupted by the tremors of this divine pearl, creating waves of change.
Gong Mengbi looked at Ming Xiazi, who immediately changed her expression.
The Golden Crow God General and the Jade Rabbit True Man suddenly turned around, their feet firmly planted on the pivot of the Water and Fire Refining Array, transforming into two hundred-foot-tall divine figures, one red and one blue, stretching across the heavens and earth, blocking Mingxiazi's way.
Jin Ting Da Xian laughed heartily, reached out and turned the moon phase mirror to face up, and the Moon Mirror was aimed at the Jade Rabbit Immortal from afar.
The image of the Moon Goddess suddenly stopped, and a dark aura emerged from it, transforming into the ominous Moon Star, which disturbed the aura of the Jade Rabbit Immortal.
The Moon God's divine form immediately collapsed, transforming into a stiff Jade Rabbit Immortal.
Mingxiazi's eyes were bloodshot with rage. She wanted to regain her magical power and annihilate the evil star, but the blinding white light had already submerged the water and fire refining array.
Accompanying the white light was endless tremors; without the Moon Goddess's support, the Yin and Yang of the Water-Fire Refining Array were completely out of balance.
The divine image of the sun god peeled away layer by layer in the shockwave, the golden crow cried out in anguish, and turned into a stream of fire that fell to the ground.
The Sun and Moon Temple at Mingxia Temple collapsed with a deafening roar, its beams and pillars resembling bones, and its rubble like snow.
The Sun and Moon Altar split open, the Yin-Yang Magic Pearl shattered into seven pieces, and Mingxiazi transformed into a streak of light, hastily fleeing into the eastern horizon, disappearing without a trace.
The white light slowly faded. Only ruins remained of Mingxia Temple, the scorched earth as black as ink.
Gong Mengbi looked at the divine pearl in front of him with some regret: "My Thunder Pearl's divine power is exhausted."
Jin Ting Da Xian chuckled, and with a turn of the Moon Phase Instrument, he collected all the remaining spirit and Yin True Essence of the Jade Rabbit True Person that had been shattered by the lightning. Then, he transformed into a white rainbow and disappeared.
"Gong Mingfu, it's still uncertain who will win or lose next time we meet."
Gong Mengbi put away the divine pearl, used the sun pearl in the small golden furnace to collect the remaining spirit of the Golden Crow God General and the true essence of the sun, and then put the nine glass lamps into his sleeve. Only then did he bow to the terrified Prince Lu and Lady Hui and apologize, saying, "I have disturbed Your Highness and Lady Hui."
He beckoned to Chun Jing Shu, who had already hidden far away, and then summoned the dragon carriage outside the palace. He transformed into his true form as a blue dragon and boarded the carriage with Chun Jing Shu.
The dragon chariot rose into the clouds, leaving Gong Mengbi's voice in the palace: "I am the Heavenly Demon Examiner, sent by Heaven to examine cultivation. Today, Daoist Cheng's cultivation is shallow, and Ming Xiazi's three poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance have not been eradicated. I will punish him slightly to observe his future performance."
A blue dragon danced in the sky, the bright moon hung high, and the dragon chariot went straight into the azure sky, disappearing in an instant.
Gong Daoren rose from the corner, and all the cultivators hid behind him to avoid the calamity.
As soon as he moved, the other cultivators couldn't help but move along with him.
Gong Daoren nodded to them, then bowed to Prince Lu and Lady Hui, saying, "I take my leave."
He stepped onto the moon, and the clouds beneath him transformed into a white crane, which flew away and vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.
King Lu was trembling all over, his clothes already soaked with sweat.
He looked at Madam Hui with a strange gaze, as if he were looking at something incomprehensible, his finger trembling as he pointed at her: "What exactly did you do?"
