Chen Yun has long-standing grudges with Xie Wuyang, Ge Tengdao, and Gou Teng.
Since the initial confrontation with Xie wuming on the battlefield, he killed him with one stroke.
Then, the contradiction between them became increasingly serious.
Firstly, Master Brother Yin Wuji of the Yin Mountain Sect came to seek a confrontation.
Later, it was even ambushed by people from Xinggehai, such as Shen Xiu and Xuan Zhenzi.
To be honest, Chen Yun was genuinely very kind to Xie wuming at first.
It was just to destroy the physical form, not to scatter the soul and essence.
However, he was able to understand the thoughts of Xie Wuyang and Yin Wuji in their hearts.
After all, the pain of losing a child and the bond of fellow practitioners justify their vengeance.
Moreover, what Xie Wuyang has done is actually quite adequate.
Before that, he had been maintaining his status and did not personally take the field.
Therefore, in the final moment, Chen Yun was willing to spare a bit of the opponent's lingering essence, allowing him to be reborn.
Indeed, Xie Wuyang was a remarkable individual. After learning that Chen Yun was willing to let him be reborn, he swore by the Tao to never seek revenge, which is something many people could not do.
The hatred between himself and Xie Wuyang can be said to have come to an end.
Theoretically, Chen Yun should put an end to this matter.
However, involuntarily, the image of Gouteng Dao Ren appeared in his mind.
The hatred between myself and the Yin Mountain Sect.
What does it have to do with the Star constellation Sea of Gouteng Dao Ren?
If we had good relations, would that give you the right to meddle and help take revenge?
Could I find the sacred entities such as Lü Dongbin, He Xianggong, and directly eliminate you Gouteng?
Chen Yun believed that if he went to Lü Dongbin and cried out, Gouteng Dao Ren would surely die without a doubt. However, he did not do this.
The main reason is that he had a deep hatred for this person, Gouteng Dao Ren, which was far greater than that of Xie Wuyang. He wanted to personally kill him one day to complete the negative emotions within him.
Negative emotions have a very significant impact on cultivation.
For example, when Chen Yun was just starting out, he was overwhelmed by Lin Feiyun of the Huangjin Sect. Although he luckily escaped with his life at the time of the confrontation, but when he was cultivating to a critical point, he still triggered "demonic thoughts."
It's the same situation this time.
Currently, the "demonic thoughts" have not erupted.
This does not mean that "demonic thoughts" will not emerge when one's cultivation reaches a certain stage in the future.
Chen Yun knew that only by personally killing Xie Wuyang and Gouteng Dao Ren could he fulfill his Dao heart and make his thoughts clear.
As expected, as he watched Xie Wuyang's self-destruction scatter his Yin spirit power, he felt an inexplicable sense of relief.
A strong emotion surged within him.
As if his mind was elevated.
This elevation of mind was not accompanied by an increase in his cultivation, but it seemed to make him feel more "awake."
His understanding of all things and the control of his internal power were both taken to another level.
"I have a strong premonition that if I return this time, I will be able to master the third turn of 'Mr. Chen's Internal Dan Technique'!"
Chen Yun could not help but sigh.
He had been immersed in developing the third turn of 'Mr. Chen's Internal Dan Technique' for years, but had not found a breakthrough.
Little did he realize that it was just by exterminating Xie Wuyang that his mindset improved, and he felt much clearer, giving him hope of creating the next turn of the cultivation technique.
Cultivating the Dao truly requires cultivating the heart.
This cultivating of the heart is not just about paying attention to the cultivation of the mind in daily life.
When encountering "demonic obstacles," one needs to break through them with great force.
Now that he has achieved this, with his deeper cultivation and powerful strength, he has defeated and killed Xie Wuyang, the "demonic obstacle" in one fell swoop.
That sense of spiritual fulfillment leaves one feeling fully elevated.
Chen Yun did not linger in his contemplation for long; he used a space-casting technique to return to the side of Chen Tun and Deng Yunshan.
...
As soon as Chen Tun saw Chen Yun return, he hurried over with a look of reverence and admiration. "Mr. Chen, your great law is truly awe-inspiring."
Deng Yunshan, an immortal from the true celestial realm, couldn't stop praising. "With the cultivation at the mid-stage of human realm, releasing such powerful strength is indeed rare in the world, Mr. Chen. If you diligently cultivate, your future prospects are boundless."
It's quite normal for Chen Tun to be astonished by Chen Yun's great art being earth-shaking.
After all, Chen Tun is only a late-stage teacher realm cultivator. When he first sees such awe-inspiring techniques among the immortals that can easily destroy stars and planets, he would certainly feel shocked beyond measure.
On the contrary, Deng Yunshan, as a sacred being in the True Celestial Realm, is able to say such a compliment. This is enough to prove that Chen Yun's performance in this battle, even without giving his full might, still deserves praise.
Deng Yunshan had never seen anyone like Chen Yun, who could unleash such powerful force at the mid-stage of the human realm. Even Xie Wuyang, who held the Wind God Banner and performed the powerful "Divine Thunder Firework Form", couldn't move Chen Yun at all. This naturally caused him to praise Chen Yun.
Chen Yun did not become arrogant or lose his composure because of their compliments.
He said with a touch of modesty, "My cultivation is slightly higher than theirs, and being able to win with a move or two is mere luck."
"Hey, Mr. Chen, that's not what it's all about," Deng Yunshan said with a serious face: "Xie Wuyang has been practicing for two or three hundred years, and even so, his cultivation is still at the 'Yin Spirit' stage, which is a fast-track method of cultivating Daoism. His level is still lower than yours, which only proves one thing: you are indeed very powerful."
Chen Tun followed with a sigh: "Indeed, when I first met Mr. Chen, our cultivation levels were quite similar. Now, I can't even see the hem of his robe, Mr. Chen is truly formidable."
Chen Yun added a few more humble words.
While chatting, he suddenly remembered something. "Holy Deng, I have a question that I'm not sure if I should ask."
Deng Yunshan laughed and said, "Do you want to ask me about my relationship with Gao Haidé?"
Chen Yun nodded, "That's right."
Speaking of this matter, Chen Tun also showed a curious expression beside him.
That Gao Haidé is just a mere mortal, yet he could make Holy Deng Yunshan, a cultivator of the divine realm, owe Mr. Chen a favor?
Deng Yunshan asked back, "Does Mr. Chen know of the General Gao who was awarded the 'Nine heavens Xilin Jinque Monitoring Student Golden Bowl Sending Child'?"
Chen Yun naturally knew about it.
General Gao, awarded the 'Nine heavens Xilin Jinque Monitoring Student Golden Bowl Sending Child,' is one of the thirty-six leaders of the Thunder Department. He is a general in charge of fertility among the Thunder generals, holding the position of Nine-heavens Monitoring Student Directorate, overseeing fertility in all realms and ensuring safe childbirth and healthy births.
General Gao, under the command of the Thunder Ancestor, leads his attendants and vanguard guardians, the Great God of Monitoring Students, the Send-Child Demons, and the five thunder soldiers, overseeing fertility and blessing women and children. He is capable of aiding childbirth and protecting mothers, rescuing the weak and vulnerable, and alleviating solitude and evil.
He holds a golden basin in his left hand and a golden whip in his right, riding on the Qilin, embodying the preaching mission of the Thunder Law to benefit mankind and deliver them from suffering. He treats cherishing life and monitoring prenatal care as an important task.
According to the "Search for the Deities of the Origin of the Three Teachings," General Gao was influenced by the essence of the Original Yuanji, and his mother, Mei Shi, gave birth to him in the Gao Chun family of Cangzhou on a day in November when the Gua (Chinese zodiac sign) was Ji zi. At birth, he appeared as a ball of fire. His parents, thinking he was a monster, threw him into the river.
Later, he was adopted by the Medicine King Supreme Deity as a disciple and was given divine elixirs to wander the world. He could cure various rare diseases such as a monkey's brain being split open, a snake's fetus being destroyed, a crane's crown being pierced, and a tiger choking on its throat.
Adapted to an immortal tree, with a Qing abdomen and a Yaou mouth bleeding profusely, the general felt pity and helped him. He still used qinghua dew and sky-merged skin, making the hole as natural as if it had been born that way.
Unexpectedly, a divine insect had died within it. The insect entrusted to human words: "Believe and the art is greatly created, those within it, give life to humans. Can you remove diseases from the elbow and wrist under the Jia, to enliven the world?"
General Gao traveled throughout the internal and external realms, bringing life to many.
The supreme God felt pity for his benevolence and suffering, considering him worthy of holding the position of nine-heavens descending high general, overseeing births and commanding life.
Chen Yun, upon hearing Deng Yunshan mention the name "General Gao," faintly understood what was going on.
By no means an exception, it is likely that the ancestors of Gao Huaidé have some connection with General Gao.
General Gao was born in Cangzhou.
Although Gao Huaidé is from Zhengding, he belongs to the "Bei He" region as well, so he should be a descendant of the Gao family who moved out and spread their branches.
Perhaps because of their good relationship, Deng Yunshan may have helped Gao Huaidé.
Chen Yun nodded and said: "I know a bit."
Deng Yunshan laughed and said: "I and General Gao are inextricably linked. As for this Gao Huaidé, his qi is different from other members of the Gao family. Therefore, I introduced him to Mr. Chen, so as to why I didn't appear myself is because my relationship with General Gao is too close. If I were to show my affection for him today, I fear that he might bring trouble to me in the future if he finds out our friendship, which would be a headache."
Here, Deng Yunshan said with a profound meaning: "Therefore, both Holy Deng and General Gao owe you a favor from Mr. Chen."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yun laughed and politely said, "Master Deng, you're jesting. We've become good friends from the very beginning, so what's there to talk about in terms of favors? When I have leisure time, perhaps I'll come to the Sima Cave Heaven more often to catch up with Master."
Deng Yunshan laughed heartily, saying, "Very good, very good, Mr. Chen. I, Deng Yunshan, will definitely be your friend."
Chen Yun also laughed. Although he said so, the favors owed by Deng Yunshan and General Gao to himself would not be dismissed so easily.
Regardless, the favors owed by Deng Yunshan and General Gao are very valuable.
They are valuable enough that if he ever encounters any life-threatening situations in the future, they can help him out.
It can be said that apart from allowing Deng Yunshan to let him into Sima Cave Heaven to kill Xie Wuyang this time, the favor owed by the two immortals is the biggest gain.
With this matter settled, Chen Yun naturally had no reason to stay here any longer.
He declined Deng Yunshan's invitation and led Chen Tun away from Sima Cave Heaven.
...
Outside.
Looking at Chen Tun, Chen Yun said, "Young friend, diligently contemplate the 'Wu Ji Chart' and hope that one day, you will be able to achieve enlightenment."
Chen Tun gazed at Chen Yun and said: "Master Chen, I wish to follow you day and night to listen to your teachings. Is there such a blessing?"
Chen Yun smiled broadly and said, "If you were to follow me, it would indeed be possible for you to achieve enlightenment more quickly. However, the path of cultivation is not about adhering to conventions. I have my own path, and you will find your own as well. If you always stay by my side, you will continue to learn from my path. How then can you forge your own?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Tun suddenly realized and made a deep bow. "Many thanks, Master Chen, for your guidance. I will remember it all and will certainly do my best to follow your instructions, no matter what."
Chen Yun placed his hands behind his back, "Let's talk about this another day. I only hope that one day you can bring even greater glory to my internal alchemy. If the world comes to know of the mystique of internal alchemy, then I will be satisfied."
As he spoke, his gaze turned towards the direction of the Khitan Imperial Capital. "Master, I have to return now to contemplate the great Dao, so you can do as you please."
Chen Tun bowed a second time and said, "I bow to bid farewell to Master Chen."
When he looked up again, Chen Yun had vanished without a trace.
Chen Tun's heart was filled with various emotions.
Today, he had another meeting with Chen Yun and finally witnessed the true aura of a genuine Daoist master who has achieved enlightenment.
Indeed, it is awe-inspiring!
