107: Go in! (ask for monthly ticket)

“Greetings, my lord!”

Outside Qingshan County, Chen Yuan summoned his Contracted Demons.

Since being enfeoffed the day before, the aura of the little demons had clearly increased, and they had lost much of their demonic scent, gaining more of a human touch, and even the expressions on their faces had become much more vivid.

Gongsun Yang looked at the group of little demons kneeling respectfully before Chen Yuan, and he bowed slightly from where he stood.

“Please bestow names upon them, my lord, so that this old man can put pen to paper.”

“These little demons are your subordinates, my lord, so naturally, you should name them. And these names are directly related to the Human Dao’s Incense. My lord can try to choose some simple, catchy names. If these Grass-Headed Gods achieve success in their Cultivation in the future, they can become Protector Gods by your side, my lord!”

Chen Yuan thought about it and realized it was true; he had usually overlooked these matters.

He nodded, his mind rapidly turning, then his gaze swept over the Contracted Demons, and he began to bestow names one by one.

He first pointed at a pig demon.

“You are a pig, and your skin is dark greenish-blue. From now on, you shall be called Zhu Ziqing.”

“Oink!” The pig demon grunted, happily rolling on the ground.

It finally had a name.

Next, there was a cat demon.

“It’s always said that cats have nine lives. From now on, you shall be called Nine Lives.”

The cat demon kowtowed.

“And you, you shall be called Swift as Wind.”

“Since Swift as Wind is taken, then you shall be called Quick as Fire!”

This was a bird, and a small deer.

“And you two, one is Ben Bo'er Ba, and the other is Ba Boer Ben.”

A pair of plump beavers, with slightly open buck teeth, nodded, indicating that it was very reasonable.

Subsequently, Chen Yuan’s naming became more and more casual and smooth.

It was indeed a bit difficult for him to come up with more than a dozen names in a row, so he simply directly copied from a classic work of his previous life, and it turned out to be surprisingly fitting.

After naming a dozen or so Contracted Demons, the little demons didn't find anything strange; instead, each of them was filled with gratitude towards Chen Yuan.

The moment Chen Yuan bestowed their names, these little demons could clearly feel a subtle change occurring in their bodies.

For these little demons, Chen Yuan giving them names completely changed their significance.

It was like the “Begging for Enfeoffment” in folk legends, where some demons who had achieved a certain level of Cultivation would specifically seek out people to beg for enfeoffment. If successful, they could transform into human form and make great progress in their Cultivation.

Moreover, the one who personally bestowed names upon them was Chen Yuan, the Patrolling Mountain Commandant of the eight-hundred-li Langdang Mountain!

Enfeoffed a few days ago, and now they had names.

These Contracted Demons truly became the Grass-Headed Gods of this place, capable of receiving human Incense.

Chen Yuan could feel the joy of his subordinates, and his eyes couldn't help but curve into a smile as he looked at Gongsun Yang.

“What else do you need next, Mr. Gongsun?”

Gongsun Yang shook his head, “Next, this old man and these subordinates of my lord will inquire about some matters, and then we can proceed to the second part.”

“Good, then Chen will not disturb you. Oh, right, come find Chen after you’re done. This time, this Commandant will personally host a banquet to entertain you, sir!”

With that, Chen Yuan laughed heartily, turned, and flicked his sleeve, his figure dispersed by the mountain breeze, vanishing from the spot.

Gongsun Yang watched the lord leave, shook his head, and smiled.

After interacting like this, the lord was indeed quite special.

He recalled that just now, Chen Yuan must have gained some benefit from the Human Dao’s Incense to recruit him.

What specific benefit, he didn't know, as he hadn't reached that Realm.

However, that wasn't important.

Then he turned to look at the group of Contracted Demons under the lord, his eyes lighting up.

These were all full of story material.

Meanwhile, after Chen Yuan left, he touched his glabella while on his way, and golden fragments of light flickered in his eyes.

He had just tested the Dharma Eye Divine Ability, and its power exceeded his expectations.

Whenever he wanted to use it, there was a slight burning sensation between his eyebrows, as if something wanted to drill out from within.

Now that the progress was only one percent, he was already looking forward to what kind of transformation would occur when he Cultivated this Divine Ability to Perfection.

At this moment, his mind stirred, and he stopped, thinking of something.

He had obtained a golden scale from Chiyang, one of the Twelve Envoys of the Demonic Sect.

This item had led to repeated campaigns of conquest by the Demonic Sect later on.

It seemed to be quite important to these fellows!

It was just that at the time, using his Minds Eye, he couldn't discern anything unusual.

Now that the Minds Eye Divine Ability had advanced to the Dharma Eye, perhaps he could discern something different?

As long as it was something they wanted, Chen Yuan had always been very interested.

With this thought in mind, Chen Yuan reached into his bosom and pulled out a palm-sized golden scale.

Then, Chen Yuan tossed it into the Void Realm in front of him, wiped his glabella with one hand, and the fragmented golden light in his eyes instantly condensed into a golden speck in his pupils.

Then, with a “whoosh,” two thin golden lines shot out from his eyes, crashing onto the palm-sized golden scale.

“Ding!”

A trembling sound like metal clashing.

The golden scale initially vibrated with a hum, and there seemed to be a faint, invisible ripple on it, spreading outwards.

After about five or six breaths, the golden scale gradually seemed to react, emitting an increasingly loud hum. Immediately after, golden light emerged, and rows of strange symbols appeared on the scale, tadpole-sized, like some kind of writing, and also like a Restriction.

Chen Yuan didn't recognize them, but his Dharma Eye's golden light seemed capable of obliterating these strange characters.

As time passed, the tadpole characters on it continuously flickered and extinguished.

Finally, Chen Yuan's eyebrows furrowed in anger, and the golden light of his Dharma Eye suddenly intensified.

“Break for me!”

“Crack!”

The last few strange characters, after flickering rapidly a few times, made a sound like a rope breaking.

The next second, as if a switch had been flipped, the golden scale suddenly emitted dazzling golden light.

Then, with a roar, the golden light shot up into the sky, piercing through the mountains and forests, breaking through the cloud pillars, seemingly connecting heaven and earth.

Immediately after, that golden light was quickly stained blood-red by a crimson hue, and a dense smell of blood drilled into Chen Yuan’s nose, making him think of something, his eyebrows twitching wildly, and a hint of ferocity rising.

Damn it, this is human essence blood!

How many people must have died for this!

Then, he operated his Dharma Eye and looked up at the sky; ripples actually appeared in the Void Realm.

He let out a roar, and the Void Realm rumbled loudly, giving birth to mountains.

Chen Yuan slapped his hands wildly towards the sky, and mountains slammed violently towards the rippling sky above.

Instantly, a great roar erupted.

The mountains struck the air, creating a mighty momentum, yet they seemed to encounter a powerful resistance, unable to move in the slightest.

He guessed that the Feixian Sect had some scheme by collecting so much essence blood with this golden scale.

So he continued to bombard it without stopping.

And this huge commotion soon attracted several people.

The first to arrive was surprisingly Fang Qingzhu.

The woman looked at the blood-colored light pillar piercing through the clouds, and her brows furrowed tightly.

“What a strong smell of blood, is this Brother Chen?”

And as she spoke, Lian Nishang and Gongsun Yang, along with a group of Contracted Demons, also arrived.

“Brother, what happened?”

Lian Nishang felt the overwhelming blood Qi, and her face was startled.

But Chen Yuan had no time to answer their questions at this moment; instead, he roared, his eyes blazing with golden light.

“Everyone step aside! I want to see what those demonic sect dogs are up to!”

As he spoke, a sword hummed from within his body, soaring into the sky.

Immediately after, black Qi surged around him, and his body suddenly expanded, transforming into a huge, six-zhang-tall Mountain Lord.

Chen Yuan prepared to use all his Divine Abilities for a full-power strike.

But just as he revealed his tiger form, he suddenly felt a huge suction force emanating from the blood-colored light pillar, pulling him up into the sky.

And where the Void Realm had originally rippled, a passage appeared out of thin air!
