A man, with five demons and two spirit beasts, flies in the sky with the wind.
The Wind-control technique of Chen Yun was obtained from Liu Gui Bai, and no matter how one says it is the orthodox of the mystical door, its execution is free of any abnormalities.
Fresh wind blows continuously, and the mist disperses in all directions.
He wore a simple Taoist robe and walked with his hands behind his back.
Although Chen Yun appeared very young, he still exuded a touch of Taoist elegance and seemed like someone from the realm of immortals at a glance.
The other five demons riding the demon wind on their journey look quite miserable.
The demon wind raged, sending sand and stones flying.
The black qi fills the air, and the moon and sun lose their brilliance.
It is obvious to anyone with good eyesight that this scene must be the arrival of a monster!
Chen Yun was quite speechless about the disturbance caused by the five demons.
However, he knows that these demons have not learned the method of cultivation.
Nor do they understand any spells, relying entirely on their instinctual abilities.
Riding the demon wind, it seems like a dire situation, but in reality, it is an act of necessity.
He did not dwell on this for long, and instead, his thoughts turned to other matters.
The wind-control technique allows for flight at a moderate pace, with an initial range of five hundred li per day.
Now, with Chen Yun's cultivation greatly increased, the speed of his wind-control technique has also grown, enabling him to travel several thousand li a day.
"The wind-control technique is quite effective for combat, but it is a bit slow for travel, and the golden ground cannot be used as a regular means of transportation. When I return to Qingcheng Mountain, I will ask my teacher for the art of cloud-transportation."
He was lost in thought about the flight technique and didn't pay much attention to his surroundings.
Suddenly, a Taoist temple nestled against a mountain ahead began to emit a clear qi.
A sword-wielding Taoist suddenly appeared in the sky along with the rising qi.
He glared and scolded at Chen Yun and his companions, "What kind of demons dare to cause trouble in my Jinhua Mountain on a broad daylight?!"
From the magnitude of his presence, he is at least a mid-level wizard.
Chen Yun quickly calmed down the wind, causing the five demons to stop as well, and floating in the air with bowed hands and bowing, he loudly said: "I am Chen Pu, a disciple of Zongshan Nengyang Cave's Zhengyang Immortal. Today, I am bringing the five demons to Qingcheng Mountain to meet my teacher and request his mercy. Let me let them join our sect and do some hard work, so that they can also obtain a chance in life. If there are any inconveniences caused to the cultivation of this divine friend, Chen Yun hereby apologizes for it."
The sword-wielding Taoist was astonished and said: "Are you that Chen Pu?"
Huh?
It seems like you know me?
Chen Yun couldn't recall ever meeting this sword-wielding Taoist before.
Nevertheless, he replied honestly, "I am indeed Chen Pu. I don't know your noble name?"
The sword-wielding Taoist said, "I am Zhao Fu, a disciple of the Seventh Transcendent Immortal, and have had the pleasure of meeting Chen Daode."
The Seventh Transcendent Immortal's real name is Chen Xun, the accomplished true immortal known by the later Xingming sect as one of the "Twelve True Ones of the West Mountain." It is said that he was a disciple of Xu Zixun, Xu Zhengjun.
As for why Chen Xun has a disciple here, the main reason is that during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Chen Xun came to Jinhua Mountain to build a hermitage and cultivate the Tao. It is estimated that this was where the branch of his lineage originated.
After understanding the other party's background, Chen Yun immediately bow again respectfully, saying: "I have long heard the great name of Zhao Daoyu, and have long admired it."
The sword-wielding Taoist roared with laughter, "Chen Daoyu, do not say that. As a devoted cultivator of the Tao, my name is not well-known, and how could it be any kind of honor for someone as high and respected as you to admire? In truth, I have heard that you have slain the Left-Sect of Yinshan Sect. That is why I have heartfelt respect for you. If you are not in a hurry to leave on your journey, would you care to take a moment to sit with me at the Jiuhua Temple?"
Earning fame through a single battle was common in ancient times.
For example, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Guan Yu was originally not well-known, but after slaying Yan Liang amidst tens of thousands of enemy soldiers at Baima Hill, his name became known throughout the land.
Today, Chen Yun had killed Yin Wuxi, which was considered by cultivators in the same vein as Guan Yu's slaying of Yan Liang. Those who heard about it would surely admire him.
Chen Yun understood this principle well, but he wanted to get back to Qingcheng Mountain as soon as possible. He politely declined, "Thank you for your kindness, Zhao Daoyou. Chen Pu is not convenient with these few demons on the journey. I need to meet my teacher urgently. Another day, if I have the time, I will definitely visit your Jiuhua Temple as a guest and disturb you. Today, it's not convenient, so please forgive me."
The sword-wielding Taoist could only regret and say, "Since it is like this, we will meet again another day."
Chen Yun didn't say anything else, leading the five demons to continue their journey.
They flew a little further ahead.
The brown bear demon, who was momentarily speechless, said: "Master's reputation has spread so quickly. Yesterday you just killed a powerful enemy, and today the news has already reached Jinhuashan. It may not be long before your name shakes the world."
The monkey demon couldn't help but laugh and cry, saying, "Gaining fame throughout the land isn't that easy, but Master's recent victory over a powerful enemy has been a grand event, and there's no doubt that your name will become famous in Shu."
The leopard demon nodded in agreement, saying, "It is certain that your reputation will soar."
The male fox demon was equally amazed, exclaiming, "Master has earned fame through a single battle. If the ancestral master agrees, we will be able to enter Master's door and follow in Master's footsteps to gain glory."
Hearing this, Chen Yun's heart stirred.
Jinhua Mountain is indeed not far from Jinquan Mountain.
The problem is that Chen Yun's killing of Yin Wuxi occurred thousands of miles away near the Emei Mountain.
It's just that after only one day, the Taoists in seclusion at Jinhua Mountain already knew of his reputation.
If the Qingcheng Mountain around the Emei Mountain was closer, wouldn't everyone know about it?
Chen Yun didn't know whether this was by chance or whether he had already gained a reputation.
He didn't place too much importance on the matter and continued to travel with the demons.
...
They traveled to the Qixian district.
Because the journey of Gongjuji, the monkey demon, and other demons was too grand.
Chen Yun and his companions were intercepted again in mid-air.
This time, the ones who intercepted them were an old monk with a surging Buddha glow.
The monk's Buddha glow was so overwhelming that he looked formidable and domineering, but in reality, he was no more than a mid-level wizard.
"You dare to fly with demonic winds above my Gao Guan Temple! What nerve you have!"
The old monk roared and continuously manipulated the Buddha beads in his hand.
One after another, the sounds of Buddhist chants rose from nothingness.
Anyone could see that this old monk was prepared to fight at the slightest provocation.
Chen Yun was startled and feared that the old monk would provoke Gongjuji, causing him to be beaten up again.
He quickly announced his identity, "I am Chen Pu, a disciple of the Zongshan Nengyang Cave's Zhengyang Immortal. Today, I am accompanied by these demons as we pass through this place, and I apologize for disturbing your peaceful cultivation."
"Hmm?" The old monk immediately stopped his incantation and suspiciously stared at Chen Yun's face, "Are you the Chen Pu who killed the Shocking Heaven Demon Head in Emei Mountain?"
"Fortunate, fortunate," Chen Yun was very modest, saying, "I am indeed Chen Pu."
The old monk immediately joined his palms together, "Namo Amitabha Buddha, the abbot of Gao Guan Temple, Zhihui, never thought that today I would have the honor of seeing Master Chen face to face. Zhihui greets you."
Chen Yun bowed to him in mid-air as a return greeting, "Daoyou, please."
The old monk looked at Chen Yun with a face full of admiration, "Master Chen's reputation has spread far and wide throughout the ears of cultivators in the Shu region. It is truly loud and thunderous. I greatly admire Master Chen. If Master Chen has time today, would you please come to my Gao Guan Temple for a sit?"
Chen Yun again declined politely and then led the five demons away.
They flew a little further.
The rhinoceros demon exclaimed, "Master, you are truly gaining fame this time."
The monkey demon couldn't help but nod in agreement, "Yes, wherever we go, as long as there are cultivators, they know Master's name. What happened yesterday must have already spread throughout the entire Shu region among cultivators."
Gongjuji, the brown bear demon, and the leopard demon also chimed in a few more words.
Flying on the wind, Chen Yun, although not joining the conversation, also understood in his heart that he had made quite a name for himself in the Buddhist circle of Shu this time.
As expected, what followed confirmed his thoughts as they continued on their journey.
"Ah? Master Chen Pu?"
"The revered name of Chen DaoYou has been well-known to Sun for some time now."
"Oh my, it's Master Chen!"
"Long-time acquaintance with Master Chen's reputation, which is as clear as a bell."
"The name of Chen Daoyou is well-known far and wide, and the more than thirty monks in my temple all admire it."
"Master Chen..."
After a day and a half of traveling, Chen Yun was almost turned into a fan meeting.
Along the way, he encountered many Taoists and monks.
These practitioners of Buddhism and Taoism, upon hearing his name, all expressed their admiration.
At this moment, Chen Yun realized that his reputation indeed had soared.
At the very least, in the Buddhist circle of Shu, he had become widely known.
As for how things were in the secular world, he was not yet aware.
...
Qingcheng Mountain, at its foot.
After a day and a half of travel, Chen Yun arrived at his destination with the five demons.
If it were not for the slow flying speed of the demons like the brown bear and rhinoceros, Chen Yun and Gongjuji might have arrived long ago.
Landing.
Chen Yun turned around and instructed the five demons, "Wait at the foot of the mountain for a moment. Once I meet with my master and report the situation, I will summon you up the mountain. Do not disturb ordinary people."
Gongjuji replied on behalf of the other demons, "Master, please be at ease. We will definitely stay here quietly and not scare the people of the mortal world..."
His words had not yet finished.
Suddenly, cries of despair and wailing echoed from the snowy forest.
"Mommy!"
"You demons!"
"Run! There are many demons!"
Chen Yun and the demons looked in a hurry.
Only to see several hunters, struggling to escape as they rolled and crawled through the forest.
Just moments ago, I had instructed a few demons not to scare people, and now I've already frightened some.
Chen Yun couldn't help but sweat a little, and quickly shouted to reassure the hunters, "Ladies and gentlemen, don't be afraid. These demons are kind-hearted and do not harm people."
"Ah?"
"You demons don't hurt people?"
"Ah, the person standing in the middle looks like that Chen Daochang who often goes down the mountain."
"Oh my, it's really Master Chen Pu!"
Because before that, Chen Yun often went down the mountain with his mount, the tiger demon, to purchase supplies.
Both the local hunters and the common folk in the city knew him to some extent.
Now that the hunters saw Chen Yun standing next to a group of demons, they immediately put aside their panic and continued with what they were doing.
Two of the more courageous hunters even boldly approached, bowing and greeting him.
"The Daoist master Chen, I heard that you have made a huge name for yourself this time when you went down the mountain to quell the demons," said one of the middle-aged hunters with a muscular build and a mole on his face, slightly flattering him: "Now have you subdued so many demons?"
Chen Yun had just comforted the hunters and was preparing to go up the mountain to see his master.
Hearing the hunter's words, he blinked his eyes and looked over, "Have you also heard about the demon-slaying incident I had on Emei Mountain?"
The other short and stocky hunter laughed, "Now who doesn't know Master Chen's great name all over Qingcheng? The day before yesterday, we saw lightning flashing in the sky far away. At first, we didn't know what it was. Later, two Daoists passed by Qingcheng and stayed in a inn to chat casually. During their conversation, everyone learned what had happened. Now, I wouldn't say that throughout the entire Shu region, but at least in Emei Mountain and the four areas around Qingcheng Mountain, almost no one is unaware of Master Chen's act of casting a magical spell to subdue demons."
The hunter who had just spoken joined in, "Exactly, there are storytellers who have been writing stories all night, adapting Master Chen's incident of demon-slaying. They are currently spreading the story in the city's inns. After hearing it, everyone couldn't help but be amazed and praised Master Chen for his boundless powers."
Hearing this, Chen Yun couldn't help but chuckle, finally realizing that he had made quite a name for himself not only in the Buddhist circle of Shu but also in the secular world.
This time, with the killing of Yin Wuji, his name had truly soared.
