Chapter 131: Laurel's Beautiful Fairy Clothes
Hengming had many fantasies about the Lunar Planet. After all, although he had been to the boundless starry sky, and even used it to break through the barrier of the primitive world and go to the chaos, he had never seen the Lunar Planet once.
The Yin Star is different from other stars. It, the Sun Star and the Ziwei Star are collectively known as the three supreme stars. The time and space they are in are beyond the boundless starry sky. If you have no fate or are not invited by the owner of one of the stars, even a Daluo Jinxian will find it difficult to go to the Yin Star.
The sun and the moon staying in the sky are just virtual shadows. If you simply fly upwards blindly, even if you fly until the end of time, you will never have the chance to see a supreme star.
But he and Nuwa are both Hunyuan Golden Immortals, so naturally they can go to Taiyin Star without an invitation.
The two of them kept traveling through the starry sky, passing by countless huge stars along the way, and even saw the ancient stars. However, it was not until they arrived at the space and time where the Moon was that Hengming knew what it meant to be the head of all stars and the lord of all stars.
I saw a silver-white star that was too big to be reached standing quietly in the silent and dark void. The cold moon-white starlight spread from the star, and finally spread along the gaps in the dark void to the boundless starry sky and even the entire prehistoric world.
No, it is not that the Moon is located above the void and is held up by the void, but that this star holds the void in place so that it will not be crushed by its own body.
Countless amounts of lunar energy were gushing out from the Moon all the time, but this silver-white star was still as huge and boundless as ever, not shrinking at all, as if all the lunar energy was just a drop in the bucket to it.
And in this silver-white star, there grows a gigantic laurel tree that is big enough to cover the sky and the sun. It is as vast as clouds, and its branches are like dragons flying across the sky, piercing through the starry sky. There are even countless roots that penetrate directly into the chaos, absorbing the energy of chaos to nourish itself.
Hengming had seen spiritual roots before. He had seen even top-grade innate spiritual roots before. However, this was the first time he had seen such a huge spiritual root, with such divine power and strength. If this spiritual root could be transformed into a human, even if he was not as strong as Hongjun, he would be considered the strongest person under the saint.
Nuwa smiled faintly after seeing this: "This laurel tree is also a top-grade innate spiritual root, but it is different from other spiritual roots in that this laurel tree exclusively occupies the Taiyin Star and even absorbs 50% of the essence of the entire Taiyin Star. Even the three Taiyin Star Lords were born on the laurel tree. It can be seen that this sacred tree has transcended the scope of spiritual roots and is equivalent to a second Taiyin Star."
Hengming sighed, "As the saying goes, success is as good as failure. The essence of the laurel itself is strong enough, and now it has absorbed half of the essence of the entire lunar star. I thought it was icing on the cake, but I didn't expect this instinctive reaction to harm it. It's really true that too much is as bad as too little."
Nuwa also agreed. Before she went into seclusion on the Moon, she had carefully explored the details of the laurel and discovered that the laurel did not want to transform, but was unable to do so.
Laurel itself is a top-grade innate spiritual root. If it were to transform into a human form, it would be a top-grade innate sacred being, not inferior to other great gods in the slightest.
But it absorbed too much of the origin of the lunar star. Laurel belongs to Yin, and the lunar origin and its laurel origin merged with each other as soon as they touched each other. This origin was too large, and finally suppressed its spiritual consciousness, causing it to watch itself grow bigger and bigger, but its control power became weaker and weaker.
Until now, it is unable to even control some of the branches. Its original body has become a cage, locking its soul inside. It is unknown when it will be able to escape and become a human being.
Nuwa sighed, "When I first came here, the laurel spirit could still communicate with me through the branches. It asked me for help, saying that it would rather not have this body and wanted to be an ordinary cultivator, but I couldn't do it at that time. Now I can save its spirit, but its body is bigger than before, and its spirit has been completely suppressed to the bottom. This is beyond my ability. Now I can save its past, but I can't save its present. It's really a pity."
Hengming was also quite touched.
A sacred being who should have a bright future was trapped in the same place. Even if it was born, the three lunar goddesses would have no chance to be born at all. It was the only lunar star king, holding all lunar authority. It was not impossible for it to become the lord of all stars in the future.
But just a slight difference in thought can lead to a lifetime of ruin. It is so pity, so sad and lamentable.
Nuwa perked up and pointed at the palace, saying, "That palace is Guanghan Palace, where the three Taiyin Star Lords practice. We are here to act as matchmakers, so we can't be too obvious."
Heng Ming nodded and looked up. He saw a crystal clear moon-white palace standing tall within the crown of the laurel tree. The boundless lunar energy, carrying the moonlight and star power, was constantly honing the outer walls of the palace. Three streams of energy were rising into the sky. It was obvious that there were three people with great supernatural powers practicing there.
The two of them transformed into divine light and came to the front of the palace. Nuwa used her magical powers and said in a gentle voice, "I wonder if the three junior sisters are here? Senior Brother Hengming and I came here to discuss something."
Not long after, a voice as cold as ice was heard: "Since you are two senior brothers and sisters, then come in."
Hengming and Nuwa looked at each other and recognized that it was Wangshu's voice, but finally stepped into the palace.
There is not much difference between the inside and outside of the palace, except that there are more decorative objects inside. There are three cushions in the center, and in front of the cushions there is an incense table. On the table there is a purple smoke incense burner with three cold incense sticks inserted in the burner. Curls of green smoke rise up, vaguely covering a Taoist statue enshrined on the incense table.
When the smoke dissipated, only one word was left on the statue: MOON.
Among the three cushions, only the one in the center was occupied by a goddess of the moon. She was practicing with her eyes closed. Her eyebrows were like moon and her lips were like cherry blossoms. Her skin was whiter than snow, and she exuded a cool and refreshing aura.
Three thousand strands of black hair were tied into a crown on her head, and behind the crown there was a white moon wheel that was constantly rotating. The cold moonlight flew out from the wheel, shining like a small lunar star, illuminating the vast world and benefiting all things.
The goddess raised her eyes slightly, her eyebrows curved, and said calmly: "Wangshu greets the two senior brothers and sisters. I hope that the senior brothers and sisters will not mind the hardship of Guanghan. Go and pour two cups of fragrant tea."
A young girl walked out from the side, hurriedly stepped forward to pay her respects, poured two cups of fragrant tea, and then stood by.
Hengming didn't mind Wangshu's attitude, and sat down on a cushion, while Nuwa sat down on another cushion. Wangshu said calmly: "The two brothers and sisters must have come here to discuss something important. I don't know what it is that must be discussed on Taiyin Star. Please don't hesitate to speak."
Nuwa showed a smile on her pretty face, but did not speak. Boundless life energy emanated from her body, instantly suppressing the Taiyin realm in the entire Guanghan Palace. Flowers bloomed out of thin air, and the fragrance of flowers filled the air. Colorful butterflies evolved and danced in the air, and there were also spirit bees wandering around, as if it was natural.
Hengming also coughed at the right time, and Guanghan Palace suddenly became hot again. A huge white sun jumped out, and the boundless cold air was immediately melted by the hot air. At this moment, Guanghan was no longer cold, but instead seemed like a natural blessed land.
Wangshu's face changed. She had just deliberately made things difficult for the two of them. Knowing that she could not stop Changxi and Xihe, she took her anger out on others, wanting to make the two of them suffer and lose face. However, she did not expect that the two of them would take the initiative and actually use their own cultivation to suppress the artistic conception of Guanghan Palace.
This is clearly telling her not to be shameless when given the chance.
Wangshu refused to admit defeat. His almond-shaped eyes were filled with coldness. A bright moon behind his crown slowly rose up, emitting a bright lunar light. In an instant, there were gusts of biting cold wind and heavy snow.
She even mobilized her own power of the Moon God, not to mention that she was on the Moon Star at the moment. The huge silver-white star shook, and endless Moon Qi emerged from the earth, immediately cooperating with the Moon Essence Wheel to contend with the strange phenomenon in the hall.
However, there was no trace of worldly atmosphere in the actions of Nuwa and Hengming. The two of them chuckled, and Hengming took the first step. Immediately, endless disasters broke out outside the Taiyin Star, defeating the yin energy. Among them, the most terrifying one was a long black river.
A long river surges out of nowhere, without hurting gold, wood, water, fire or earth, without disrupting yin and yang, without reversing black and white, and only kills the cold yin.
The long black river feeds on the Taiyin Qi. Every time it swallows a wisp of Taiyin Qi, it expands a little. Finally, it directly turns into a river a thousand feet long. The long river keeps surging, and just as it was about to flow again, a touch of green fairy light falls into the river. Finally, this long river suddenly turns into countless clouds and drifts away as if it has a soul. After a moment, drops of rain fall, and in a moment, the Taiyin Qi of the entire Taiyin star is driven out without a trace left.
Wangshu felt powerless facing the combined forces of the two Hunyuan Golden Immortals. Even on the Taiyin Star, she was helpless. In the end, she had to turn around in anger, closing her eyes and saying nothing. The Moon Essence Wheel also turned into divine light again, circling behind her crown.
Nuwa transmitted her voice, "Brother's method is indeed effective. If I had talked to Wangshu about this and persuaded her with kind words, I don't know how proud she would be. Now I will take action to suppress her arrogance, and it will be much easier to deal with it next time."
Hengming smiled but said nothing.
This method was one he often used. When facing someone who wanted to ask him for something, he would offer his help first and let him ask a few more times. This would naturally suppress his enthusiasm, put pressure on him, and allow him to gain the upper hand.
When facing someone who you want to make a request to, you have to take the initiative and try to pull the other person to the same level as yourself, rather than begging them as if they were your superior.
People are all lowly. They don’t know how embarrassing it is when they ask for help from others. They only enjoy their nobility when they are superior to others.
So it is with God.
What's more, in the ancient times, there is no need to talk about benevolence, morality, etiquette and education. Strength is respected. The strong have everything and the weak lose everything. The rule of the survival of the fittest is displayed here vividly.
But Wangshu is Changxi Xihe's sister after all, so they can't go too far. They can only use such means to make her retreat. Fortunately, Wangshu also knows her limits and understands that the matter is done, so after testing each other, she retreats reluctantly.
Nuwa smiled and said, "We are here to discuss something, which is a good thing. The chaos in the wilderness requires a marriage between heaven, earth and man to restore order. This marriage is naturally a perfect marriage created by the Star Gods. Yin and Yang attract each other. The leader of my demon clan, the demon emperor Jun, has admired the goddesses Chang Xi and Xihe for a long time, so he specially asked me to come here just to act as a matchmaker."
Without even turning his head, Wangshu said in a cold voice: "This Di Jun has a big appetite. He doesn't care about the leader of the demon clan. He wants to marry two women and have all the beauties. Isn't that too much of a wish?"
Heng Ming said, "Yin alone cannot produce life, Yang alone cannot grow. This is the truth of the universe. Only when Yin and Yang are combined can we achieve the goal. Emperor Jun has entrusted me to be the master of ceremonies, so I have to give some betrothal gifts to show my confidence."
Afterwards, the two of them took out a fragrant carriage and a fairy robe. The whole body of the fragrant carriage was made of sun god gold, and was surrounded by colorful ribbons and silk knots everywhere. The four wheels were manifested by the nine heavenly pure air, and it was supported by clouds and mist underneath. A starry canopy appeared on the top of the carriage, and with a slight rotation, the starlight around it shone brightly, and there were also countless stardust in the light, which shone in the sky, and it was so beautiful.
There was also a faint and strange fragrance spreading in the air, which was stimulated by the rolling solar fire from the car body. The strange fragrance filled the entire lunar star, causing the two hidden goddesses to stretch their heads and take a peek.
If this fragrant carriage is exquisite and majestic, then this fairy dress is so gorgeous that it is breathtaking.
This immortal robe is all white, but if you look closely you can find patterns of the sun, moon and stars all over it. Every silk thread is made of the most gorgeous feathers of the nine kinds of innate divine birds, namely phoenix feather, blue luan feather, roc feather, peacock feather, white crane feather, swan feather, owl feather, sky crane feather and partridge feather, mixed with the innate divine silk of the sky spider.
On the map of the Zhoutian stars, thousands of magical beads such as night-shining pearls, dust-avoiding beads, fire-avoiding beads, water-avoiding beads, cool beads, Wanlin beads, Dingyan beads, Fengding beads, Thunder-fixing beads and exquisite beads are used to compare the stars. Even before they are put on the body, but with just a slight movement, thousands of fairy lights of red, orange, yellow, green, indigo, blue, purple, black, white, pink, etc. can be seen emitting all kinds of colors, with auspicious clouds and auspicious air floating around. It is truly gorgeous and beautiful.
As soon as this fairy dress came out, even Wangshu, who was made angry, couldn't help but turn his head to look at it, his eyes full of amazement.
One must know that the Sky Spider clan is naturally good at embroidery, and the Innate Sky Spider is a master in this art. The silks and satins they weave are so stunning that even the Innate Gods would be amazed upon seeing them. It's a pity that the Innate Sky Spider was inexplicably killed, and the silk threads left behind are becoming less and less. Just to weave this fairy dress, I'm afraid that the Heavenly Court has used up all the Innate Sky Spider silk threads.
