Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

When Chen Yuan started to kill, Gu Zhaoshi and another Ziyang Sect disciple were entangled by Ren You and could not help.

They could only watch Chen Yuan take out several extraordinary magic weapons and use thunderbolt methods to kill three fellow disciples on the spot.

Ren You saw that Chen Yuan's methods were so powerful, and shouted:

"Fellow Daoist Chen has good methods, and I will watch Ren defeat the enemy!"

He pointed his fingers and urged his magic power. One flying sword entangled the Ziyang Sect disciple, and the remaining two flying swords attacked from front and back, making Gu Zhaoshi exhausted.

Before, Ren You was besieged by five people, and most of his mind was on defense, so he could not fully activate the flying sword.

Now he was free, and the sharp flying sword was immediately displayed. With a few slashes, he cut the small shield in front of Gu Zhaoshi into several pieces.

If Gu Zhaoshi wanted to fight back, he would be forced back by the flying sword. He fell into despair and cursed:

"Brother Qin will definitely avenge me. Gu is waiting for you in the underworld!"

Ren You smiled coldly and ignored him. The spell in his hand changed and the flying sword attacked more urgently.

After a while, he saw a flaw and blocked the purple gold hammer with one sword. Another flying sword took advantage of the opportunity and beheaded Gu Zhaoshi with one sword!

There was one last Ziyang Sect disciple left in the field. He didn't have Gu Zhaoshi's backbone and begged for mercy repeatedly, but Ren You was unmoved. Three flying swords came up together and cut him into two pieces in just a moment.

During this process, Chen Yuan did not take action, but just watched quietly from the side.

Ren You killed the two men, took back the flying sword, and bowed deeply to Chen Yuan with a solemn expression:

"Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist Chen."

Chen Yuan returned the bow and smiled faintly:

"Fellow Daoist Ren, you are too kind. Ziyang Sect blocked the inner ring passage and wanted to attack the disciples of various sects. Chen saved Fellow Daoist Ren, and it was also to save himself. Moreover, although Fellow Daoist Ren was in danger, he was not panicked. He must have a way to escape. Chen dare not take credit for it."

Ren You's expression changed slightly when he heard this.

Chen Yuan's mind was so sensitive. When he thought about the fact that he could secretly transmit a message to himself without being discovered by Gu Zhaoshi when he was more than fifty feet away, and he could also control the flying needle to attack secretly, his spiritual consciousness was so strong that he had never seen it before.

Putting these two things together, Chen Yuan looked mysterious in Ren You's eyes.

This person's strength is unfathomable, and he must be treated with caution.

He said sternly:

"Although I have a way to escape, the price is very high. Without the help of Fellow Daoist Chen, even if I can get out of danger, I will not be able to enter the inner ring again to search for spiritual herbs and build a foundation. I owe Fellow Daoist Chen a favor. All the things on these five people belong to you. If you need anything in the future, you can come to Zhaoyao Mountain to find me. As long as I can do it, I will not refuse."

Chen Yuan saw that Ren You was sincere in his words and smiled:

"In that case, I will be disrespectful to refuse."

He took all the seven or eight storage bags on the waists of the five people into his hands, and then condensed five fireballs to burn the bodies of the five people into ashes.

Then he asked:

"When Daoyou Ren was besieged, he said that the passage to the inner ring was blocked by disciples of Ziyang Sect and Guiyuan Sect, and disciples of other sects were not allowed to enter. Can you tell me the details?"

Ren You did not answer immediately, but looked around and said:

"This place is empty and you can't stay for long. Daoyou Chen, please move and find a secluded place. I will tell you all the details."

Ren You's words were very reliable, and Chen Yuan had no reason to disobey. He left this place with him and came to a dense forest.

Ren You stopped and bowed:

"Daoyou Chen, please wait for a moment. My mana is exhausted and I need to restore it first."

Chen Yuan smiled and said:

"Chen also needs to sort out the storage bags of Gu Zhaoshi and others. Daoyou Ren can do whatever you want."

After that, he walked to the other side of the dense forest until he was dozens of feet away from Ren You, and then stopped.

Ren You nodded slightly when he saw this, took out a jade bottle, poured out a pill, swallowed it, and closed his eyes to meditate.

When a cultivator meditates, he is most vulnerable when looking inward.

Chen Yuan took the initiative to avoid it to show that he had no ill intentions, so that Ren You could completely put his mind at ease.

On the other side of the dense forest, Chen Yuan's consciousness probed into the storage bag in his hand to check the items in it.

Chen Yuan ignored the magic weapons in the hands of the five people, and only took out the spiritual herbs, talismans, and pills and put them in his storage bag.

Gu Zhaoshi had the richest wealth, with eight three-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs for refining late-stage foundation-building pills, twenty-six hundred-year-old spiritual herbs, more than a dozen talismans, and a bottle of seven rejuvenating pills.

The most precious of them were two mature Yin-Yang Ganoderma.

The three main ingredients for refining foundation-building pills, Yin-Yang Ganoderma, White Angelica Flower, and Seven Star Grass, are all three-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs, mainly grown in the inner ring of the secret realm, and are scarce in the outer ring.

Gu Zhaoshi was lucky to find two Yin-Yang Zhi.

The other four people only had three three-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs in total. There were quite a few hundred-year-old spiritual herbs, more than thirty in total, but they were all very common in the outside world.

The talismans and pills in their hands were also very ordinary. Chen Yuan looked down on them. He roughly sorted them out with other miscellaneous spiritual materials and monster materials and put them into a special storage bag.

After sorting out the spoils, Chen Yuan destroyed all the seven standard storage bags of Ziyang Sect, took out a soul-restoring pill and swallowed it to restore his mana.

He had no shortage of pills in his hands, and it was safest to keep his mana at its peak at all times.

Half a minute later, he opened his eyes, and Ren You's voice came from afar:

"Fellow Daoist Chen has been waiting for a long time. I have finished regulating my breath."

Chen Yuan smiled slightly, stood up and walked to Ren You's side. He saw that he was full of energy, his eyes were shining, and all the magic power in his body had been restored.

As a swordsman, Ren You has a straightforward and sharp personality, and cannot tolerate nonsense. He gets straight to the point:

"Fellow Taoist should know that our Tiangang Sword Sect and the Ziyang Sect have always had a grudge. After Ren entered the secret realm, he killed several Ziyang Sect disciples. One of them confided before his death that the Ziyang Sect and Guiyuan Sect disciples would join forces to prevent people from entering the inner ring. After learning the news, I went to find out what was going on, but my figure was discovered, and I was chased by Gu Zhaoshi and five people. Fortunately, Fellow Daoist Chen gave me a helping hand. Solve this problem."

When Chen Yuan heard this, his thoughts turned around and he said slowly:

"The Ziyang Sect and the Guiyuan Sect have joined forces to block the passage into the inner ring at the expense of offending the other four sects. It shouldn't be a sudden move after entering the secret realm."

Ren You looked solemn, nodded and said:

"Fellow Daoist Chen's words are reasonable. Such a big event must not have been done by Qi Lian disciples, but must have been ordered by the elders of the two sects."

Chen Yuan asked again:

"Does Fellow Daoist Ren know the situation of the inner ring passage? How many manpower have been gathered from the two sects?"

According to the map records of the Lingyun Sect, the inner and outer rings of the secret are separated by an endless ring of mountains, which are tens of thousands of feet high, with fierce winds and the power of bone-eroding ecstasy. Qi-refining monks cannot climb across it.

There are only three passages for disciples of all sects to pass.

Ren You replied:

"Ren doesn't know the situation of the other two passages, but outside the nearest line of sky from here, there are more than a dozen disciples from the two sects guarding and setting up formations. If Ren comes within a hundred feet of the passage, he will be detected. The body shape makes it impossible to sneak into it.”

Chen Yuan frowned slightly:

"Since the two sects have joined forces to block the passage, the other two passages will definitely not be let go. It seems that they can only force their way through."

Ren You looked solemn and filled with evil spirits:

"Ren also had the same idea. The two sects have gone too far to bully others. I can only use the sword in my hand to cut off the obstacles! Ziyang Sect and Guiyuan Sect have many people and strength. I want to summon my fellow sects and gather everyone's strength to break through the passage. Chen Daoyou wishes How about next?”

Chen Yuan's eyes were also sharp and he said coldly:

"Obstructing someone's path is like killing one's parents. This is sworn hatred. Chen is determined not to back down!"

The two of them decided to leave the dense forest and rush to Xiantiantian.

…

Half an hour later, Chen Yuan and Ren You arrived five miles away from the Yixiantian Passage.

They stopped, Ren You touched the storage bag, took out a three-inch iron sword, and pointed it sideways.

The iron sword slowly flew into the air, its body trembling slightly, and it made a clear sword sound and clanked.

Chen Yuan took out the identity jade token of Lingyun Sect disciple, made a secret in his hand, and injected a little magic power into it.

The cloud pattern on the jade identity card lights up, and a white auspicious cloud emerges from the jade card and freezes in the sky.

This is the method of calling fellow disciples recorded in the jade slips issued by Xu Changan.

After using this method, the disciples of the Lingyun Sect within a radius of one mile will have a sense and can ask for help from their fellow disciples in times of crisis. They can also summon their fellow disciples when needed.

The place where Chen Yuan and Ren You cast their spells is the only way to get to Yixiantian.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the white auspicious clouds on Chen Yuan's jade identity card suddenly trembled and drifted to the northwest.

Chen Yuan's eyes flashed and he said calmly:

"Comrade Chen is here."

After a while, two figures walked towards this side. After seeing Chen Yuan and Ren You, they slowed down and looked wary.

These two people were Xue Lin and Song Qingru who were working together to explore the secret realm. They were holding identity jade tokens, each with a white auspicious cloud floating in this direction.

Chen Yuan looked surprised when he saw the two of them, then smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said:

"Senior Brother Xue, Senior Sister Song, this is Taoist Fellow Ren You from the Tiangang Sword Sect."

Xue Lin and Song Qingru came from a family of cultivators and were well-informed, so they naturally recognized Ren You, but because of this, they did not dare to get close.

In the secret realm, there is no restriction by the rules of the six major sects. For the sake of spiritual herbs, disciples of each sect will eat the weak and the strong, kill and rob goods, and kill each other in the same sect.

Xue Lin opened the folding fan in his hand, held it in front of him, and asked:

"Junior Brother Chen summoned me and Junior Sister Song to come here. What's the important matter?"

Xue Lin was wary, and Song Qingru did not dare to relax. A gauze scarf in his hand was emitting a misty light, ready to go.

Chen Yuan knew the concerns of the two of them, so he explained in detail about the Ziyang Sect and Guiyuan Sect disciples joining forces to block the inner ring passage, and invited the two of them to join forces and force their way through the passage.

After he finished speaking, Ren You added lightly:

"If you two fellow Taoists don't believe it, you can go find out for yourself."

Chen Yuan spoke in detail and explained the whole story clearly. After hearing this, Xue Lin and Song Qingru believed eighty-nine points.

Ren You's words dispelled the worries of the two of them.

Xue Lin closed the folding fan in his hand and said with a smile:

"The two sects are bullying people too much. Xue is willing to join forces with Junior Brother Chen and Fellow Taoist Ren."

Song Qingru also put away the gauze scarf in her hand and said softly:

"I am willing to join forces with you two."
