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

After listening, Yun Chonghua said, "But sister, after I bring the items in, how do I deliver them here? And how do I trap the enemy in the wind formation?"

The White Crane Fairy smiled and tapped Yun Chonghua's head before saying, "Just like before, you can use your little brain to think about it. There are two teleportation arrays at the bottle's opening. If you want to send something, you can teleport it directly here. If you want to imprison an enemy, you can throw them directly into the wind array. And if you want to summon an item, you only need to think about it. But to release an enemy, you need to recite an incantation."

"True words?" Yun Chonghua asked.

The White Crane Fairy said, "Yes, the mantra is the key incantation to open the Wind Prison Formation. If you want to trap someone inside, do as I just did: point the bottle opening at you, recite the mantra, and then shout 'Take in!' to trap them inside. If you want to release them, recite the mantra again and shout 'Release!' to release them! Just like that!"

As she spoke, the White Crane Fairy grabbed Yun Chonghua's clothes, then murmured and shouted "Let go!" The two of them were immediately pulled by a powerful suction force and flew towards the mouth of the "sky" bottle.

Finally, the two saw a burst of light overhead, and when they emerged from the light, they were already standing in a side hall of Yaochi.

The White Crane Fairy looked at Yun Chonghua, who was still in shock, and said with a smile, "Alright, that's how this thing is used. Come closer, and I'll tell you the truth."

Then the White Crane Fairy whispered the incantation to him in his ear to activate the magic weapon.

The White Crane Fairy asked, "How was it? Did you remember it?"

Yun Chonghua nodded and said, "I've memorized it. The incantation isn't difficult, but if others find out about it, won't this treasure become useless?"

The White Crane Fairy shook her head and smiled, "Of course not. So-called incantations only work when recited by the holder of the magic weapon. I am the creator of this magic weapon, and you offered your blood sacrifice to become its master. Therefore, it only listens to the incantations of the two of us."

"However, this magical artifact does not possess the power to bind people. I set up a reverse wind array, so it cannot trap specific people or objects. Instead, it will pull in everything in front of it, whether friend or foe. But you don't need to worry, you can control the force of this trapping with your mind. It will be weaker if it traps people nearby, and stronger if it traps people far away."

"But you must remember that the maximum range of this magic weapon is only about a hundred feet from the mouth of the bottle. If your opponent tries to escape, you won't be able to get inside. The reason you were so easily trapped inside was because you were completely unprepared for me. If it were a more vigilant demon who could use invisibility techniques, you would need to subdue him before you could capture him."

Yun Chonghua spread his hands and said, "That's alright. I have the Dragon-Binding Rope; once I bind them, they won't be able to escape."

The White Crane Fairy remained silent, only chuckling softly. Then, she plucked a feather from her feathered robe, which transformed into a silk ribbon in her hand.

She took the silk ribbon and, with her skillful hands, twirled it around the body and handles of the jade vase.

The silk ribbon was not only completely tied to the bottle, but it was also woven into a beautiful peace knot.

She then picked up the bottle and tied the bound bottle to the jade belt around Yun Chonghua's waist.

The White Crane Fairy nodded and said, "Hmm! Not bad. It can also be worn as an ornament, making you look like a complete little drunkard!" After saying that, the White Crane Fairy covered her face and laughed.

Yun Chonghua glanced at the jade bottle at his waist, then bowed deeply to the White Crane Fairy and said, "Thank you for your kindness, sister, in bestowing this treasure upon me."

Seeing this, the White Crane Fairy waved her hand and said, "We are both close ministers under Her Majesty and Her Highness, so there is no need for such formalities. Besides, giving you this treasure is simply to enhance your strength so that you can better serve Her Majesty and Her Highness in the future."

But at this moment, Yun Chonghua straightened up, touched the bottle at his waist, and looked at Fairy Baihe with shining eyes, saying, "Sister Baihe, you just said that you set up the Samadhi Divine Wind in this bottle. Can you teach me the skill of the Samadhi Divine Wind?"

The White Crane Fairy laughed and said, "You're quite the diligent and eager learner, buddy. That's fine, but you're a dragon, and dragons belong to the water element. This Samadhi Divine Wind technique isn't suited to you. You probably won't find it very useful."

Yun Chonghua asked, "Incompatible? Does that mean I can't use it?"

The White Crane Fairy shook her head and said, "That's not it. You can use it, but you won't be able to unleash its full power."

Seeing Yun Chonghua's seemingly confused expression, the White Crane Fairy continued to explain: "As I just said, all things in nature have their own nature, and each has its own strengths and weaknesses. For example, we feathered insects and birds are born with the ability to spread our wings and fly, riding the wind. Therefore, we can not only quickly master our respective wind-riding and soaring spells, but even reach the pinnacle. For instance, the fierce winds of Buzhou that I summon can even extinguish the true fire of the sun."

"And you are a scaled dragon, a divine beast born from water. Therefore, you quickly master the art of controlling clouds and rain, as well as various water-based spells. Not only are you naturally immune to water damage, but you are also more skilled in using water-based spells than other races."

After listening to the White Crane Fairy's explanation, Yun Chonghua nodded and said, "I see. No wonder I used that cloud-and-rain magic so easily."

The White Crane Fairy remembered the Empress's instructions to give Yun Chonghua more guidance in all matters.

Then the White Crane Fairy added, "However, the workings of heaven and earth are not without their exceptions, and nothing is absolute. What I just said is merely common sense. Some beings, due to favorable timing, location, and cultivation environment, may also receive extraordinary blessings and transcend their own kind."

"There was once a weasel on Mount Ling who stole lamp oil. He seemed to call himself the 'Great Sage Yellow Wind.' Although he was just a small 'caterpillar' weasel, he was quite skilled in using the Samadhi Divine Wind technique. It even surpassed that of ordinary feathered insects, making him a truly extraordinary creature blessed by heaven and earth. Even the five hundred Arhats and the Four Vajras under the Buddha's command could not subdue him. In the end, it was the Tathagata Buddha of Mount Ling who bestowed upon Bodhisattva Lingji a Wind-Fixing Pearl and a Flying Dragon Staff to subdue him."

Yun Chonghua naturally knew of the "Yellow Wind Great Sage," after all, he was one of the few demon kings on the journey to the West who, without relying on magic weapons, relied solely on his own abilities to send Wukong to his doom and have to call for reinforcements. He had a deep impression of him.

It was precisely because they knew the power of his "Samadhi Divine Wind" that they wanted to learn this skill from Bai He.

Yun Chonghua said, "I didn't expect that Sister Baihe, who has lived in Yaochi for so long, would also be so clear about the affairs of the mortal world."

Fairy White Crane laughed and said, "Hehe. I'm not interested in other matters. But that Bodhisattva Lingji has the Wind-Stabilizing Treasure, which is my natural enemy, so I naturally have to be careful."

The White Crane Fairy looked at Yun Chonghua and said, "Alright. If you want to learn, I can teach you. However, the Samadhi Divine Wind cannot unleash its full power in your hands. It's far less powerful than water-based magic. In my opinion, it's just a waste of your energy, but if you're willing to learn, I can teach you. Are you willing to learn?"
