Chapter 870 Yin Yang 2nd Transformation

Chapter 870 Yin-Yang Transformation

The reward from the Demon King, delivered by the one in green robes, was something as real as it could be; it was a blessing snatched from Mingxiazi.

Although Gong Mengbi completed Mingxiazi's demonic test, he wasn't actually assigned the task, so he had no way of reaping the benefits. Instead, the examiner who was assigned the task, despite not performing any work, unexpectedly gained good fortune because of the golden book he possessed. Now, it has been returned to Gong Mengbi through the Demon King's intervention.

She doesn't even want benefits that come out of thin air, which shows that there must be something big hidden behind Mingxiazi.

The Demon King in Green was vague and unwilling to tell the whole story, but he still gave Gong Mengbi a lot of pointers.

It's not about making everything crystal clear or doing everything perfectly to offer guidance. The Green-Clad Demon King has the duty of guiding others, and Mingxiazi has the hope of ascending to heaven. Even he said that the demonic test is difficult. Gong Mengbi protected the examiner's cultivation, which is enough to show that Mingxiazi's ascension to heaven is almost predetermined—to put it more bluntly, someone is helping her behind the scenes.

Otherwise, the Demon King in Green wouldn't have personally come to inform Gong Mengbi.

So even though he understood that this was also a strategy by the Green-Clad Demon King to test him, he was still grateful.

It's far too easy for the Demon King to gain favor with others—that's what he does anyway. Even knowing it's a scheme, Gong Mengbi couldn't resist the temptation.

But Gong Mengbi would absolutely not agree to the request from the Green-Clad Demon King.

Even the Demon King who can directly recommend people to the Great Demon King of the Azure Heaven has to personally come out to recruit them, which shows that being a Demon King is not an easy job.

Even when the forces of creation collide, it must wait until the appointed time has passed before it becomes the right path. Otherwise, if the Demon King were to kill indiscriminately and plunder creation, wouldn't he become a great scourge upon the world?

Without the imperial edict and decree, even if the examiner is in charge and the exam is called a demonic test, it can only be classified as a personal grudge. It is impossible for them to easily plunder the other party's fortune and then just walk away and pretend nothing happened.

Those who kill indiscriminately to seize power and devour true essence are practicing the true demonic path, not the demonic test.

Although the Five Great Demon Emperors are called Demon Kings, they are actually the progenitors of all gods and are genuine demon gods.

Working under them is truly like walking a tightrope in shackles. They only talk about showcasing your talents, without mentioning the dangers and difficulties involved, and there is absolutely no way out.

Qingjiao returned to Tianhu Courtyard, and Gong Mengbi said to Chun Jingshu, "I need to go into seclusion for several days. If the Three Immortals come to question me, tell them to wait for me to come out of seclusion."

Chun Jing Shu dared not refuse, and watched as Gong Mengbi entered the Demon Examination Hall, sealed the magic array, and went into seclusion to cultivate.

Hearing the commotion of the carriages, Chun Minwen rushed out with her hair disheveled and ink stains still wet on her face. She didn't see Gong Mengbi, but only Chun Jingshu.

Chunminwen raised his hand in a salute: "Your Excellency, has the envoy returned successfully from the examination?"

Chun Jing Shu had always disliked Chun Min Wen. Before Gong Meng Bi arrived, she thought Chun Min Wen was just a distant relative who relied on the Chun family's name for a living, so she and Su Zhen Zhen always assigned any work to Chun Min Wen. After Gong Meng Bi arrived, she disliked Chun Min Wen even more for her fawning over him and trying so hard to curry favor with him.

However, nowadays, one cannot deny that fools sometimes have good fortune; she got close to Gong Mengbi early on and left a good impression.

Chun Jing Shu nodded and asked, "The envoy is going into seclusion for a few days. Why are you alone? Where is Su Zhenzhen?"

Chunmin said, "She took leave after you were gone for only three to five days and hasn't come back yet. Fortunately, she left me the key to the file archive, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to reorganize it."

"That brat, she's really not being fair." Chun Jing Shu understood perfectly well that Su Zhen Zhen had married a good husband and was much more informed than she was.

The reason she took leave was probably because she learned that Gong Mengbi had damaged the Qin family's cultivation and offended Master Chang, and that the Demon Examination Hall was about to become a fierce battleground.

Chun Minwen, on the other hand, knew nothing about it and just smiled: "With one less person to do the work, the five gentlemen and I haven't finished sorting out the files yet. Since the envoy is in seclusion, I'll just have to work harder and hope that he will have finished sorting out the files by the time he comes out of seclusion."

"Let me help you."

Chun Minwen glanced at Chun Jingshu with slight surprise, unsure of her intentions. Chun Jingshu remained composed, refusing to reveal anything.

Chunminwen didn't care. As long as they weren't causing trouble, he was happy to have someone help him.

On the other side, Gong Mengbi was already seated in the quiet room.

He lit the small golden furnace, and the Sun Pearl jumped out from it. Nine glass lamps floated around the Sun Pearl, supported by the true essence of the sun, and glowed with a faint red light.

The remaining spirit of the Sun's Dharma Body was restrained and bound by Gong Mengbi, barely forming a palm-sized golden crow shape. It only had residual supernatural powers and no remaining consciousness, so it could not be tortured.

Gong Mengbi released the golden crow, and the golden crow flapped its wings and shuttled through the true essence of the sun flowing like a river of clouds.

"As expected, it's the Yin-Yang Transformation Technique. I didn't expect to run into it again so soon."

Gong Mengbi's connection with the Yin-Yang Transformation Technique dates back to when he was helping the disciple of the Fire Dragon True Man escape his predicament and capturing the Yang Ghost incarnation of the Yin-Yang Dharma King's disciple. From this, he extracted half a scroll of the Heavenly Yang Transformation Technique. At that time, Qiu Dapan annotated it as a fragment of a heavenly book of wondrous techniques, its meaning profound but its methods vulgar, rendering it a useless skill.

The Yin-Yang Dharma King used this to cultivate the two evil spirits of Heavenly Yang and Earthly Yin, causing endless harm.

But now, Gong Mengbi has witnessed the second transformation of the Yin-Yang Transformation Technique: the Transformation of the Sun God and the Transformation of the Moon God. These transformations, taking their forms from the gods of the sun and moon, are devoid of any ghostly aura from the very beginning of their practice, instead embodying the righteous and majestic path. Otherwise, one could not possibly attain a divine position in the Heavenly Palace.

Of these two approaches, the former is easy to begin with but leads to wrongdoing. The latter is difficult to begin with, placing great emphasis on natural talent and innate ability, but it is the right path.

But while the righteous path may be the right one, whether it will lead to success is another matter. The Yin-Yang Dharma King cultivates the Yin and Yang Ghosts, and Mingxiazi cultivates the Sun and Moon Gods. They may seem different, but their foundations are the same, and the essence of Yin-Yang transformation remains.

Gong Mengbi saw it clearly; with the precious tree in his possession, there was absolutely no way he could have made a mistake.

"It's a pity we couldn't keep Mingxiazi here, otherwise we could have found out his relationship with the Yin-Yang Dharma King and interrogated him to find out his whereabouts."

From Cheng Wu sending Long Yuan south to Suzhou to Ming Xiazi being worshipped at the Prince of Lu's mansion, the lineage of the Yin-Yang Dharma Kings had a profound understanding of the dynasty's fate.

By manipulating the Sun Pearl, the spirit of the Sun God's Dharma Body was instantly crushed. The Sun Pearl stirred up the true essence of the sun and threw it into the small golden furnace, making the small golden furnace brightly lit.

Gong Mengbi held the small golden furnace in his hands, carefully sensing the nature of the sun within it, preparing for the cultivation of the Fang constellation.

Nine glass lamps hung in front of Gong Mengbi, enveloped by the smoke from the small golden furnace, cleansing Mingxiazi's energy and filling the gaps in Gong Mengbi's cultivation through the Taoist method of yin and yang transformation.

The fortune bestowed by the Demon King in green, which had been stolen from Mingxiazi, also transformed into a part of Gong Mengbi's own cultivation with each breath he took.

“Mingxiazi is my benefactor,” Gong Mengbi exclaimed.
