Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

Du Yu was smashed into the ground by the gold brick, with only his upper body exposed, but he was still not dead. He stared at Chen Yuan with his eyes wide open, and blood flowed out from the wound on his left chest.

Chen Yuan raised his hand to recall the gold bricks and praised:

"Fellow Daoist Du is indeed a physical cultivator. After suffering such a heavy blow, he is still alive. Monsters of the same level are no different."

Du Yu suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, saying:

"Don't be complacent. Although I don't know what secret method you used to destroy four magical weapons, you can still use them to fight against the enemy. But I don't believe you can cover up the backlash forever. Wait until you can't suppress the backlash of your consciousness. , don’t even think about walking out of the secret realm safely, sooner or later you will come down and be buried with me, haha..."

Du Yu's voice was full of hatred, Chen Yuan smiled slightly, stopped talking to him, and used the Yingang Sword to chop off his head.

If it were an ordinary monk, after exploding four magical weapons, he would indeed suffer a strong backlash from his spiritual consciousness, and would never be able to use the magical weapons against the enemy again.

However, Chen Yuan's spiritual consciousness was more than double that of the monks in the late stage of Qi refining. After encountering the backlash, he could still control the magic weapons normally, but the number was smaller.

Chen Yuan felt the remaining spiritual consciousness and estimated that he could only control three magic weapons at the same time, and at most there were only two top-quality magic weapons.

If one of them is a set of magical weapons like the Seven Star Blade, other magical weapons cannot be used.

This is also the level of most disciples of the six major sects. Chen Yuan only became equal to them after his spiritual consciousness was injured.

He stepped forward and took off Du Yu's thin gloves, then picked up his storage bag and spear, then condensed a fireball, burned his body to ashes, and floated away. .

This fight is quite popular and may attract his disciples or secret realm monsters, so it would be better to leave as soon as possible.

Chen Yuan traveled for several miles and found a rather hidden cave, in which lived a first- and intermediate-level bear demon.

When the demon saw Chen Yuan, his eyes turned red and he fell into madness.

He used the Dingguang Realm to stabilize the bear demon, then used the Yingang Sword to cut it into several pieces, blocked the entrance of the cave, took the Restoring Pill, closed his eyes and meditated to restore his magic power.

This fierce battle with Du Yu had almost exhausted the mana in his body, and he needed to recover as soon as possible.

This is also the reason why Chen Yuan self-destructed his magical weapons one after another to achieve a quick victory.

His greatest advantage is that his spiritual consciousness is powerful and he can control multiple magic weapons at the same time, so that several people can attack one person.

It was precisely by relying on his powerful spiritual consciousness that he was able to watch Du Yu fight with the monsters, see Du Yu's true identity in advance, and set up an ambush.

But after all, he is a Five Spiritual Root monk, and the magic power in his body is not pure enough to fight for a long time. If it drags on, he will definitely not be Du Yu's opponent.

Therefore, after watching Du Yu's fight with the monster, he decided on a strategy and would rather have his consciousness damaged than prolong the battle.

Du Yu never thought that he would dare to continuously self-destruct magical weapons. He was unprepared and was struck by a powerful axe. He made one wrong step after another, and finally lost his life.

If the two of them really open up and have a good fight, the outcome will be between 50 and 50.

…

A quarter of an hour later, all the magic power in Chen Yuan's body was restored, but there was still a dull pain in his head.

The consciousness is backlashed, and it needs to be recovered slowly, not in a hurry.

Chen Yuan took out Du Yu's storage bag, injected it with spiritual power, and took out all the items inside.

He self-destructed four magical weapons, used two talismans, and destroyed two of the Seven Star Blades. He spent such a huge price just for Du Yu's body cultivation secret method.

Du Yu is blessed with divine power, the ability to birth and tear apart monsters, as well as magical magical powers and the ability to destroy magic weapons and talismans. During the Qi refining period, he has few opponents.

If he hadn't encountered Chen Yuan who brazenly self-destructed his magic weapon, he would have never been inferior to any of the top disciples from each faction such as Ren You, Dai Qing, Zhong Mianye, and Zhu Luoqing.

The physical strength is so powerful that Chen Yuan is extremely excited.

He seems to have extraordinary strength, but in fact, he completely relies on his spiritual consciousness that is far beyond that of monks of the same level, and the best magic weapons, but the magic power in his body is not pure enough, he is not good at spells, and he cannot fight for a long time.

Now that his opponents are both Qi Refining monks, he can still gain the upper hand.

But if the foundation building is successful, and his opponents all practice high-level skills and acquire magical spiritual skills, his disadvantage as a five-spirit-root monk will be infinitely magnified, and he will instantly become mediocre.

In the past, Chen Yuan would not have considered such illusory things, and would have only thought about building the foundation.

But now that he has some confidence in foundation building, he naturally has to think about the future of foundation building.

Before entering the secret realm, after he learned about Du Yu from Mo Jingchun, he became interested.

Chen Yuan has experienced thousands of starlight injections into his body. He is physically strong and has great strength, but he doesn't know how to use it. It's like holding a sword without knowing the swordsmanship. It can only be hung on the wall, making the magic weapon covered in dust.

If he could transform his body into a martial art, turn this huge power into his own use, and inject starlight into his body to continuously strengthen his body, how could an ordinary monk be his opponent?

Chen Yuan's heart was up and down. He put aside the spiritual herbs, elixirs, spiritual materials, magic weapons, and monster materials in Du Yu's storage bag, took out three jade slips, and looked at them one by one.

The first jade slip records the secret technique of controlling beasts in Wan Beast Mountain, which Du Yu should have obtained after killing the disciples of Wan Beast Mountain.

The second jade slip contains a map of the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain, which is much richer than the map Xu Changan sent.

The third jade slip records Du Yu's physical training techniques.

This article is not long, only a few thousand words. Chen Yuan concentrated on it and read it carefully, but his face gradually became ugly.

Finally, he put down the jade slip, with a gloomy expression on his face, and murmured:

"Should I practice this "Demon God Art" or not..."

This physical training method is called "Demon God Technique". It focuses on the physical body and does not cultivate magic power. When it is practiced to the extreme, it has the power of a demon king and can fight against a Yuanying cultivator.

However, the "Demon God Technique" in the jade slip can only be practiced to the late stage of foundation building. After that, it becomes incomplete and only has a few words.

According to the jade slip, those who practice "Demon God Technique" need to refine the essence and blood of a demon beast into their bodies.

This kind of demon beast essence and blood must come from at least a level 5 demon beast, and only higher can be allowed.

If the grade is lower, the spirituality in the essence and blood is insufficient and cannot be refined into the body, and there is no way to practice "Demon God Technique".

In addition, when refining the essence and blood of the demon beast into the body, the cultivator's body needs to bear great pressure. Only those with extremely strong bodies can practice this method.

If it is an ordinary cultivator, the body will collapse and die as soon as the demon beast essence and blood enter the body.

This is not a difficult task for Chen Yuan.

His body was extremely strong, so it was no problem for him to refine the blood essence of monsters.

However, the strength of a level 5 monster is stronger than that of a cultivator in the early stage of Jindan. It is difficult to obtain the blood essence of such a monster.

Du Yu was able to practice this method before he established his foundation. There was at least one Jindan elder behind him who looked after him and fetched blood essence for him.

After a cultivator refined the blood essence of a monster into his body, he needed to imitate the way the monster practiced, absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and strengthen his body. He also needed to eat the blood and flesh of monsters to enhance the strength of his body.

No wonder Du Yu had a reputation for bloodthirstiness. He refined the blood essence of monsters, and in order to strengthen his body, he needed to eat a lot of blood and flesh of monsters. Over time, he developed the habit of monsters, eating raw meat and drinking blood, like a savage.

In addition, the way for those who practiced the "Demon God Art" to break through the foundation is also different from that of ordinary cultivators. They do not need to take the foundation pill, but strengthen their bodies to the level of a level 2 monster.

This is not difficult for Chen Yuan. He has tens of thousands of pounds of strength, but he just doesn't know how to use it.

Physical cultivation not only requires great strength, but also requires the body to be condensed and as hard as gold and stone, and not afraid of being cut by knives and axes.

When you practice to the extreme, you can regenerate broken limbs, and your blood will not be indestructible. You can control the laws of heaven and earth, move mountains and take mountains, and it's all easy.

Chen Yuan is still a long way from this realm, but as long as he turns to practice "Demon God Art" and condenses his body, he can be comparable to a second-level monster beast, or even better.

After that, people who practice "Demon God Art" only need to strengthen their bodies to break through the middle and late stages of foundation building, or even break through the Dan formation, and they will not encounter bottlenecks like ordinary cultivators.

But if you want to go further, it depends on the grade of the monster blood that was refined at the beginning.

If it comes from a level 5 monster beast, it can only stop at the early stage of Dan formation and will never make any progress in life.

If it comes from a level 10 demon beast, it can be cultivated all the way to the late Nascent Soul stage, but it will never reach the bottleneck of the Spiritualization stage.

This is exactly where Chen Yuan hesitated.

What he wants is to achieve immortality.

The "Demon God Art" is incomplete. Even if the subsequent exercises are completed, it can only be cultivated to the late Nascent Soul stage at most. The life span is no more than a thousand years, and it will eventually turn into a pile of yellow earth.

Moreover, to practice this method, at least the blood essence of a level 5 demon beast is needed. Where can he find it?
