Traveling Through Journey to the West: I Am the Dragon King

Chapter 51 The Kun-Scale Treasure Robe Rides the Wind, Soaring Up 9 Miles

After the White Crane Fairy left, Yun Chonghua didn't linger any longer and immediately wanted to test the power of the feather robe.

He awakened the magical artifact with his own power, and flames seemed to rise from the gem on its chest. He then sensed something.

The next moment, two huge wings of light appeared on Yun Chonghua's back.

Although they were just two wings of light formed from magic power, Yun Chonghua, wearing this precious robe, still truly felt as if wings were growing on his back.

Sensing Yun Chonghua's thoughts, the wings of light flapped gently, causing him to rise into the air.

And Yun Chonghua's scream echoed from the sky.

This was his first time using this magical artifact, and he was quite unfamiliar with it; the speed was beyond his imagination.

In the blink of an eye, he had already traveled tens of thousands of miles away, to the point that he himself did not know where he had flown to.

However, once you start using this magical artifact, it's as if it's part of your body, and Yun Chonghua quickly gets used to it.

The wings of light behind him could change size according to his will; smaller wings meant he flew slower, and larger wings meant he flew faster.

Yun Chonghua tested it in the air. The light wings could be transformed into the size of a normal falcon's wingspan. At this time, his flight speed was not much different from when he usually flew through the clouds, only slightly faster.

Once it transforms into its own size, a single flap of its wings can truly travel tens of thousands of miles.

But if the transformation were to become even larger, then a gentle flap of the wings would truly send it "soaring ninety thousand miles into the sky."

However, Yun Chonghua in human form is much smaller than Kunpeng. Therefore, although the light wings can also exert their power, the largest single wing on Yun Chonghua is only the size of a whale, which is far from the legendary width of several thousand miles.

Yun Chonghua not only developed the ability to fly with this treasure, but the hurricane generated by the light wings could also be used to fight enemies, and the light wings could also close to protect him.

After the test, Yun Chonghua seemed to have thought of something, and he immediately transformed into a dragon.

Although he had transformed into a five-clawed celestial dragon with golden scales all over his body, the magical effects of the feather robe remained, and the luminous wings seemed to have grown on his back.

Moreover, as his dragon body grew, his wings of light also became larger. At this moment, he was skimming low over the sea, looking at his reflection on the water. Now, with wings on his back, he was quite similar to the legendary Yinglong.

However, compared to his majestic and handsome dragon form, Yun Chonghua still preferred to be human. He then turned around and transformed back into human form.

He touched the Kunpeng spirit on his chest and laughed, "What a treasure, what a treasure."

In the blink of an eye, Yun Chonghua had returned to the sacred land of China in the Southern Continent.

He then retracted the wings of light behind him and returned to his soaring form. After all, this thing was too fast; if he wasn't careful, he would have flown tens of thousands of miles away again.

A moment later, he returned to the skies above the Sishui River. Yun Chonghua leaped into the water.

The precious garment was inlaid with Kun scales, so it wouldn't be damaged by water. After wandering around for a while, he arrived at the gate of his water palace.

The sign that read "Returning to Heaven to Report on Duties" still hangs in front of the Water Palace.

But beneath that signboard lies a tortoise shell covered in moss.

Upon seeing the tortoise shell, Yun Chonghua knew who the visitor was.

Yun Chonghua stepped forward, bent down, and squatted beside the tortoise shell. He then nudged it and said, "Hey! Wake up!"

After Yun Chonghua gave it two pushes, the tortoise that was sleeping in front of his door slowly poked its head out of its shell.

He composed himself, and after recognizing Yun Chonghua, he immediately got up, straightened his clothes, and said, "Dragon Lord has finally returned. I've been waiting for you for so long."

Yun Chonghua also stood up and asked, "Waiting for me? How long have you been waiting?"

The Turtle Registrar thought for a moment and said, "It's been about two months. My king said that all the immortals who go to heaven to report on their duties should return within a month at most, but I didn't expect the Dragon Lord to have been gone for so long."

Yun Chonghua replied, "I drank a few too many cups at Yaochi this time, so I came back late. You came to find me, but you haven't left yet. Has something happened?"

The turtle clerk replied, "Reporting to the Dragon King, my king has important matters to discuss with you."

Yun Chonghua countered, "What important matter? If it's still about the marriage with the Fourth Princess, then you should go back and tell the Dragon King. When I went to Heaven to report for duty, I met the White Crane Fairy and the Queen at Yaochi. The Queen said that my marriage will be arranged in the future, so we don't need to worry about it."

Upon hearing this, the clerk shook his head and said, "It's not about that. It's just that a bewitching demon has appeared in Jimo City from somewhere. The demon's origins are unknown, but its abilities are extraordinary. It grants the wishes of its followers, and the followers have even smashed the local City God's temple to make offerings to the demon. Even the banks of the Ji River are now affected."

After pondering for a moment, Yun Chonghua asked, "Has this demon harmed anyone?"

The clerk shook his head and said, "No, not at all. Not only have I never harmed anyone, but I have also always answered the prayers of my believers."

Yun Chonghua nodded after listening and said, "What does this have to do with me? The Sishui River, which I govern, is a branch of the Huai River. As for the Ji River, Jimo is far away in Qi and Lu. Besides, that demon hasn't harmed anyone, so why is it looking for me? As for the City God, he is a ghost immortal, under the jurisdiction of the Ten Kings of Hell in the Underworld. If he has been wronged, he can go to the Underworld to appeal to the King of Hell. Do you want me to go to Heaven and report to His Majesty, so that His Majesty can personally handle the matter of a small City God's temple being demolished?"

After listening, the clerk shook his head and said, "That's not it. It's just that this matter is too complicated for me to explain in a short time. In short, this matter is far more serious than just the demolition of a temple."

As he spoke, the tortoise clerk took out an invitation from his shell and handed it to Yun Chonghua. He then said, "I urge the Dragon Lord to visit my king at the Dragon Palace."

Yun Chonghua originally didn't intend to get involved in this matter and planned to send the clerk back after glancing at the invitation.

After all, Jimo City was far from the Ji River.

They all have their own superiors, and besides, the old Dragon King has tens of thousands of East Sea Dragon Soldiers under his command. He himself also possesses cultivation.

If he can't beat Sun Wukong and Nezha, how could he not beat a little monster? Therefore, Yun Chonghua didn't want to meddle in other people's business.

But Yun Chonghua was taken aback after reading the invitation.

The events described on the old Dragon King's invitation were exactly the same as those told by the Turtle Registrar. However, one thing was quite intriguing.

That is, this monster is someone the underworld dares not touch!

The Dragon King wrote in the invitation that the City God had returned to the Underworld and reported to King Yama, who then sent people to investigate. However, the Underworld's messengers were all injured by the spiritual light emanating from the monster. After returning, the Underworld dared not pursue the matter further.

Originally, the Dragon King did not intend to get involved in this matter, but the place where the demon had seized power, Jimo City, was adjacent to the East Sea, and his followers were also spreading to the vicinity of the Huai River.

This forced the Dragon King of the East Sea to intervene.

However, the Dragon King's invitation ended there; for the remaining details, he invited Yun Chonghua to the Dragon Palace for a face-to-face discussion.

Upon seeing this, Yun Chonghua understood everything. He realized that the monster must have some background. Since the cunning old mudfish dared not interfere, he wanted to seek help from himself, a favorite of the Emperor and Empress.
