Zhao family, front yard.
A group of people widened their eyes to watch Chen Yun and the monk Zixin.
Everyone wanted to see who was more skillful between the two.
Only the Mrs. Du felt waves of inner turmoil when she saw Chen Yun's appearance, which was similar to the dream of a man who sent children.
In folk mythology and legends, there are many gods and Buddhas who are considered as divine messengers of childbirth.
For example, there are golden flower goddess, Tai mountain goddess, a hundred children goddess, childbirth goddess, and the Pregnancy-giving Guanyin.
But without exception, they are all goddesses.
So far, there has never been a male god who has appeared as a divine messenger of childbirth.
logically, Mrs. Du shouldn't believe in a male god sending children.
However, the Chen Mr. in front of her did indeed appear in her dreams.
And then, that very night, she gave birth to a child.
This has made Mrs. Du quite certain that the young Taoist in front of her is indeed a true deity.
Mrs. Du quickly turned her head to look at the maid beside her, "Xiaohua, what is the background of this Mr. Chen Taoist?"
Xiaohua quickly replied, "Replying to the lady, I just heard the master say that Mr. Chen Taoist claims to be a disciple of Zongyuan Cave in Chenyuan Mountain, and I don't know anything else."
If Chen Yun declares his lineage and says he is a disciple of Han Zhongli, then perhaps everyone would recognize him.
But the phrase 'the True Yang Immortal' is one that these common folk are truly unaware of.
Mrs. Du also seemed somewhat perplexed, as she had never heard the name 'Zhengyang Immortal'.
However, she knew one thing for certain: Zhongshan Mountain has always been filled with various myths and legends.
For example, there are the Great Teacher Laojun, Han Zhongli, Lü Dongbin, Zhong Kui, Zhao Gongming, and Jiandiya.
Therefore, when Mrs. Du heard that Chen Yun was from Zhongshan "person", her first reaction was that this young Taoist must be a deity.
Then, she was indeed the childbirth deity she saw in her dream, Chen Yun.
Once Mrs. Du was sure that Chen Yun was a god, she became tense instead.
In her eyes, since Chen Yun was a god, then the Zixin Monk must certainly be an evil demon.
And the Zixin Monk dare to confront Chen Yun, which probably means he has some magical powers.
Mrs. Du feared that Chen Yun might not be able to withstand the Zixin Monk and could be killed by him.
At that moment, the situation on the field suddenly changed.
Zixin Monk pretended to be very generous and said, "Don't say that I have cheated you. I let you change first."
Chen Yun placed his hands behind his back and smiled, "Since you, this eccentric monk, are so willing to let me go first, if I refuse, it would seem like I'm being petty. Well, then, I'll show you my transformation first."
As he spoke, his body transformed into a blooming peony tree that could be seen with the naked eye at an incredible speed.
Zhao Hongyin, Wang Guan Shi, and others had been focusing their attention on the scene. They watched as Chen Yun suddenly transformed into a lifelike peony tree.
The crowd was initially taken aback.
Then, everyone couldn't help but clap and cheer.
"Good!"
"Chen Immortal's art of transformation is truly wondrous!"
"Wow, he transformed into a blooming peony tree so lifelike in an instant, truly amazing!"
The relatives and servants of the Zhao family were all marveling at the scene.
Kong Mo, Hu Meiniang, and Zhuge Yin, the evil spirits who considered Chen Yun as their own, also smiled at the sight. They thought to themselves that this fellow who dared to transform into a companion of the formidable Chen Pu indeed had some real abilities!
Mrs. Du did not expect the childbirth deity to have such abilities.
Suddenly transform into such a lifelike peony tree.
She was even more convinced that this Chen Immortal had boundless magical powers.
Among those present, perhaps the most amazed would be Zixin Monk, who was having a bet with Chen Yun.
He dared to bet with Chen Yun in the first place because he believed that practitioners of the True Dao sect, before achieving immortality, generally were not skilled in transformation techniques.
However, now that Chen Yun had slightly displayed his magical abilities, he instantly transformed into a "real" peony tree.
This shocked Zixin Monk quite a bit.
Although he practiced demonic arts and was skilled in transformation techniques, he couldn't transform as "vividly" as Chen Yun.
At this moment, Zixin Monk felt an immense sense of danger and dared never to underestimate Chen Yun again.
At that very moment.
Chen Yun, in the form of a peony tree, suddenly spoke, "Eccentric monk, I have already shown my transformation. What are you going to do?"
The crowd all turned their gaze towards Zixin Monk at once.
Zixin Monk laughed calmly and said, "You demon, don't overplay your hand. I'll show you how to subdue you."
After speaking, Zixin Monk swiftly whispered a mantra and his body rapidly transformed.
Although Zixin Monk was also practicing transformation techniques, the "unusual individuals" Wu Xingde, Kong Mo, Hu Meiniang, and Zhuge Yin immediately discerned that his methods were inferior to Chen Yun's.
They could tell because:
Because Chen Yun's transformation technique was perfectly natural, he could instantly change shape whenever he wanted to.
Zixin Monk has to recite incantations before he can practice his transformation technique.
It's clearly not as good as Chen Yun's.
This greatly boosted the morale of Kong Mo, Hu Meiniang, and Zhuge Yin.
They felt that as long as Chen Yun could win Zixin Monk in the contest of transformation, he would have a chance.
They were certain to gain a bit of the remaining divine energy of the Immortal.
Even though Zixin Monk's transformation technique is indeed not as exquisite as Chen Yun's, ordinary people can't see through it.
In the eyes of Zhao Hongyin, Wang Guan Shi, Mrs. Du, Zhao Kuangji and others, Zixin Monk transformed into a five-colored heavenly cow the size of a palm.
This made Mrs. Du feel a sudden jolt in her heart.
Because the heavenly cow is also called "China peony saw-toothed longicorn".
Commonly known as a "woodpecker".
This thing can cause great damage to peony trees.
Now Zixin Monk transformed into a five-colored heavenly cow the size of a palm.
Isn't it possible for this creature to gnaw the peony tree transformed by Chen Yun into nothingness?
At that very moment.
The peony tree came forth with a loud laugh, "You demon monk, you truly understand a bit of transformation techniques. Well, I'll show you what real True Dao sect transformation technique looks like."
With those words, the peony tree in front of them instantly transformed into a peculiar bee, all black and about the size of a bowl.
It's the killer of the black crabbeetle!
Zhao Hongyin, Wang Guan Shi, Mrs. Du, and Zhao Kuangji all widened their eyes once again upon seeing this.
Wu Xingde, Kong Mo, Hu Meiniang, and Zhuge Yin were also caught by surprise that Chen Yun's transformation was so quick. In a blink of an eye, he had transformed from a peony tree into a black crabbeetle bumbler bee.
For a moment, everyone in the crowd was completely amazed by Chen Yun's transformation technique.
The black crabbeetle bumbler bee shook its wings and flew to attack.
Upon seeing this, Zixin Monk was terrified and trembled.
He never expected Chen Yun to not only be skilled in transformation techniques but also know the principle of natural enemy control.
If he really got torn apart by the black crabbeetle bumbler bee, he might not be able to transform back and could die on the spot.
Zixin Monk quickly spread his wings and flew up to the sky to buy some time, then muttered incantations.
Everyone could only see the large black bee chasing the five-colored heavenly cow halfway into the sky.
Suddenly, the five-colored heavenly cow transformed into a phoenix-headed eagle with a dark brown to blackish-brown head, short and hard scaly feathers on the sides of its head, and relatively thick and dense black plumage.
Although it's a medium-sized bird of prey, it's the natural enemy and killer of bees.
After Zixin Monk transformed into a phoenix-headed eagle, it flapped its wings, boasting and fiercely pecked at the large black bee.
Mrs. Du was extremely nervous, and she had sweaty palms.
The Zhao family relatives and servants, including Zhao Hongyin, Wang Guan Shi, and Zhao Kuangji, were temporarily unable to tell who was an evil spirit or not. They were only there, gaping in awe at the two betting transformations and wondering if they had really opened their eyes today.
Wu Xingde, Kong Mo, Hu Meiniang, and Zhuge Yin, on the other hand, grew serious.
Unlike ordinary people, they could immediately see that Chen Yun and Zixin Monk were not just betting on transformation techniques; they were actually fighting to the death.
If one's transformation technique was slightly weaker, and they were captured by the other party's transformed object and their internal qi was sealed, then next, they might very well die on the spot.
In fact, the situation was extremely dangerous; it's not as if what people see is just about transformation.
Suddenly, a powerful eagle scream echoed through the sky from the large black bee's mouth.
Everyone felt strange, how could the large black bee produce a eagle's scream?
Zixin Monk, who had transformed into a phoenix-headed eagle, was also puzzled.
However, as he was about to catch Chen Yun at the time, he didn't have time to think too much.
Who would have thought that as the phoenix-headed eagle's claws were about to touch the large black bee.
The body of the large black bee suddenly swelled up, and in a moment, it transformed into an enormous eagle!
This eagle, from its feet to its head, was about four or five chi long. When it spread its wings, the distance between the tips of the wings was about two or three chi. Its whole body was a pale color, and its beak was curved and sharp. It looked terrifying.
Zhao Kuangji was so terrified that he trembled, grabbed Zhao Hongyin's sleeve, and stammered, "Dad, will this big eagle eat people?"
"Don't worry, this is Chen Immortal's transformed eagle. It won't eat people," Zhao Hongyin comforted his eldest son, but inwardly, he was also a bit scared.
Let alone Zhao Hongyin and his son.
Everyone present, upon seeing this incredibly huge old eagle, was also greatly frightened.
Because no one had ever seen such a huge bird of prey before!
Even Wu Xingde, Kong Mo, Hu Meiniang, and Zhuge Yin, as cultivators who had seen a lot and were knowledgeable, had never seen such a bird of prey before. They were all rather astonished in their hearts.
Especially Hu Meiniang, who was a fox spirit herself. At the sight of such a huge old eagle, she had already been so scared that her legs went weak. She knew it was a natural enemy and feared being pecked to death!
Zixin Monk was originally about to dive down, prepared to catch Chen Yun.
Who would have thought that a giant eagle suddenly appeared from below and shot up.
This scared him so much that he flew upwards in a panic, unable to believe what he asked out loud, "What kind of old eagle did you transform? It's so ferocious!"
Chen Yun, who had transformed into the giant eagle, laughed loudly and said, "You demon monk has limited knowledge and cannot recognize the exquisite transformation technique of the True Dao sect."
He didn't reply and flapped his wings, transforming into a streak of dark-brown light, rapidly chasing after the peony tree transformed by Zixin Monk.
Um, this kind of giant eagle transformed by Chen Yun might really not have been seen by very few people in this era.
Because this is the largest eagle in the world, one of the largest birds of prey in South America.
It can be said that this is the top of flying birds in the world.
Even if Zixin Monk was proficient in transformation, he could not find a more ferocious bird of prey than the Argentine condor in the mortal world.
This transformation bet seems to be nearing its end.
As if, as long as Chen Yun transformed into the Argentine condor captured Zixin Monk transformed into a phoenix-headed eagle, he could kill the latter on the spot!
