Chapter 5 Enlightenment of the Star God, Yin-Yang Three Talents Sword Formation
The sun star, beneath the hibiscus tree.
The golden light of the sun and the clear moonlight intertwined and entwined, and the three figures moved back and forth, with the power of the stars flowing around their bodies, performing a mysterious formation.
"Yin and Yang draw forth the radiance, the sun and moon condense their essence."
"The three powers establish the pivot, and the two polarities transform into mystery."
"The stars bear witness to my spirit, and my sword reigns supreme over the eight wastelands."
Ling Xiao stepped into the Innate Gang Step, chanted the sword incantation, and the sword energy of the Sun God Sword in his hand surged forth.
Xihe and Changxi accompanied each other on the left and right, their two Taiyin Divine Swords resonating in harmony. The Taiyin Divine Water and the Taiyang True Fire merged, transforming into the ever-rotating Yin-Yang Taiji phantom.
The sword draws upon the essence of the sun and moon, borrows the power of the twelve celestial bodies, and gathers the light of the three powers of heaven, earth, sun, moon, and stars;
The three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit resonate with each other, and the three elements of a person complement each other, arranging the three elements into a formation.
Offense and defense are interdependent, yin and yang complement each other, each takes the strengths of the other and makes up for its weaknesses, and when all are integrated, the power naturally increases dramatically.
"The basic form of the sword formation has been determined. It is evolved by the wondrous method of Yin and Yang and inherits the power of the Three Powers. Let it be named the 'Yin-Yang and Three Powers Sword Formation'."
Ling Xiao sheathed his sword and smiled calmly.
Although this formation is not yet complete, it is still extraordinary.
When three mid-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortals join forces, they are invincible among those of the same level, and can even easily contend with late-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortals!
If the Primordial Golden Immortal does not appear, one can live a carefree life.
"The two principles and the three powers, yin and yang mutually generating each other, this name is fitting." Xihe nodded slightly, her eyes gentle.
"Brother Lingxiao, can we leave Sun Star and go on a journey?" Chang Xi's eyes sparkled with anticipation.
"You silly girl, can't you stand any peace and quiet?"
Ling Xiao chuckled, raised his hand to ruffle her hair, his eyes filled with gentle affection, "Since you've been waiting so long, let's set off today. Our first stop will be Shenhou Star."
As soon as he finished speaking, he stretched out his arms and wrapped them around the two women's slender waists. With a sway, he transformed into a dazzling fiery rainbow that stretched across the Milky Way.
However, he unleashed the supreme escape technique "Golden Crow Transforms into Rainbow," breaking through the air and heading straight for the northern sky.
……
At the northernmost point of the sky, the Goddess Star hangs alone in the sea of stars.
This star is the first of the twelve earthly branches, determines the position of the twelve earthly branches, governs the time of day and night, and governs the four seasons from the Great Cold to the Rain Water. It is the root of the northern sky's time order and the source of the earthly branches' transformation.
Within the star field, the Xuan River flows endlessly, the cold light is heavy, the gale winds swirl around the city, and the frost permeates the fields.
The earth produces cold jade, the soil is covered with clear frost, and the spirit of the stars and moon gathers here;
Ancient and desolate, silent and barren, concealing the essence of the order of time.
"Whoosh—"
A golden-red rainbow suddenly pierced the dark curtain of the northern sky, hovering above the Goddess Star. The glow faded, revealing three figures: one man and two women.
"Brother Lingxiao, we've come here specifically because we believe there might be some innate spiritual treasure, spiritual root, or other fortuitous opportunity hidden within this star?"
Chang Xi clutched Ling Xiao's sleeve, her eyes full of curiosity. Naturally, the more innate spiritual objects and various opportunities, the better.
"It's not about treasure hunting." Ling Xiao slowly shook his head, his gaze looking down at the Divine Queen Star Core below. "I've come here only to enlighten the Twelve Earthly Branch Star Gods, so that each can be in its proper place, guarding the primordial order, completing the laws of the heaven and earth's time order, and stabilizing the foundation of order."
The Twelve Yuan Chen, also known as the Twelve Monthly Generals or the Twelve Ministerial Yuan Chen.
It is an innate deity bound to the twelve earthly branches, the four seasons, the day and night, and is ranked alongside the sun god and the Ziwei star god, bearing the destiny of a born star.
However, now that the primordial world has just been settled and the Dragon-Han Calamity has just ended, most of the celestial gods have not yet appeared in the world, and the twelve earthly branches are still ignorant and have not yet taken form.
If Lingxiao had not previously established the order of time with the sun and moon and bestowed heavenly merits, these twelve Yuan Chen star lords would have had to wait countless years before they could return to their positions one by one.
"With a stable timeline, one can continuously draw upon the merits of Heaven, like a gentle stream that nourishes the path, truly a long-term solution." Xihe's eyes flickered slightly, and she nodded in understanding.
The starry sky is eternal and cannot be sustained by just one or two stars alone.
Only when the stars each perform their respective functions, complement each other, and maintain a balance of yin and yang, can they endure for eternity.
The Sun and Moon govern the overall situation and guard the fundamental poles. The remaining details of the time sequence should be handled and supplemented by the twelve Earthly Branches and other celestial deities.
"Then how do we enlighten the Star God?" Chang Xi blinked, full of curiosity. Since her birth, she had never had the experience of enlightening a living being.
Let alone personally enlightening him, he has never even seen him.
"This matter is not difficult," Ling Xiao said calmly. "The Twelve Yuan Chen have already been nourished by the merits of the Heavenly Dao, and their origins are complete. They only lack the final step of condensing and taking form. If the three of us work together, using the origins of the sun and moon to draw upon the spiritual energy of the stars, we can help them break free from their shells and emerge into their divine form."
After speaking, he condensed a wisp of pure solar energy at his fingertips and slowly injected it into the core of the Divine Empress Star.
Xihe and Changxi followed closely behind, their two streams of warm and pure Yin energy merging together.
The primordial energies of the sun and moon intertwined and flowed into the depths of the star's core, transforming the stellar power and heavenly merits accumulated in the divine star, and finally condensing into a giant egg interwoven with gold and silver, quietly nurturing the divine embryo.
Time flies, and three thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.
"Click..."
On this day, the cracks spread, and the golden and silver divine eggs suddenly shattered.
A divine rat, its body covered in starlight-infused fur and bearing the Dao patterns of time, hatched from its egg. Behind its head was a faint golden wheel of merit, its Daoist aura restrained.
"Whoosh."
In a flash of inspiration, the divine rat transformed into a human, but its head retained its rat form, unable to completely metamorphose.
—The primordial world was created by the great god Pangu, whose human form was the innate supreme body of the Dao, making him the most suitable person for cultivation and enlightenment;
Therefore, the innate deities and primordial powers often take human form when traveling the world, only revealing their true forms during battles.
This laid the foundation for demons and monsters to later take human form and reveal their true forms...
The Goddess Star Lord was unable to completely shed her beastly head, partly because her initial form was only at the Golden Immortal Dao Foundation stage, and her magical power was insufficient.
Secondly, being born under the Rat Earthly Branch destiny, one is bound by the innate divine positions of the twelve zodiac animals, making it difficult to transcend one's original form.
The Goddess of the Moon bowed deeply, prostrating herself on the ground with utmost respect: "The Goddess of the Rat pays her respects to the Father God of the Sun and the Mother God of the Moon."
"A Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, your foundation is not bad. Rise." Ling Xiao waved his sleeve lightly, and a gentle force helped him up.
He was born as a Golden Immortal. Although he was not as good as the top innate saints, he was not weak. Moreover, he had not yet fully refined the merit accumulated in the Divine Queen Star. After refining it, reaching the Taiyi Golden Immortal level would be a natural outcome.
"Huh? Mother... Mother Goddess?"
Chang Xi was startled by the sound, her cheeks flushed red, and she secretly glanced at Ling Xiao beside her. Her heart stirred slightly, and she quickly lowered her head, twisting her skirt with her small hands, shy and silent.
Xihe's cheeks also flushed slightly, and her gaze became even gentler and more tender. After a moment of silence, she took out a bright white moon pearl from her sleeve and bestowed it upon Xihe.
This is one of her innate spiritual treasures, a set of twelve Taiyin Moon Beads, corresponding to the twelve phases of the moon.
Each piece is a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure; twelve pieces combined are equivalent to a high-grade treasure, capable of drawing upon the power of the Taiyin star to suppress the celestial energy.
However, times have changed. Xihe now holds the power over the origin of the moon and can summon the moon's blessings with a wave of her hand. Without the aid of any treasure, this treasure has become almost useless, like a chicken rib.
Now, bestowing this upon the Goddess Star Lord is just right to solidify his divine foundation and suppress the cyclical fortune of a region.
"Thank you, Mother Goddess, for bestowing this treasure!" The Goddess Star Lord kowtowed again in gratitude. The moment the Moon Pearl entered his hand, it resonated with his own primordial spirit without any rejection.
This is because the twelve Earthly Branches govern the order of the months and the seasons, their destinies are interconnected, and their divine duties are in harmony, thus this treasure is perfectly suited.
Afterwards, Ling Xiao gave further instructions, ordering the Rat to guard the Divine Queen Star, to uphold the duties of the Earthly Branches, and to solidify the foundation of the time sequence.
With everything settled, the three transformed into a streak of light, bid farewell to the Goddess Star Lord, and set off for the second of the Twelve Zodiac Stars, the Great Auspicious Star.
Practice makes perfect, and the subsequent eleven stars were acquired much more smoothly.
