Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

While the two were talking, Mo Jingchun was at the top of the valley, watching Xue Lin and Song Qingru fall into a disadvantage, with no intention of helping.

Although Xue Lin and Song Qingru also joined the Lingyun Sect through the Immortal Ascension Conference, they came from a family of cultivators and were regarded as orthodox monks.

If Mo Jingchun didn't add insult to injury, how could he stand up for them for the sake of his fellow sect members?

He smiled coldly and turned around to leave, but at this moment, Brother Junyi said:

"If Chen Yuan and Ren You hadn't joined forces, how would Qi have let you and others enter the inner ring!"

As soon as these words came out, Mo Jingchun stopped, turned around, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Xue Lin looked up to the sky and laughed:

"It turns out that Fellow Daoist Qi is also a bully and afraid of the strong. He doesn't dare to act arrogantly in front of Senior Brother Chen. He only dares to show off his power in front of the two of us!"

Monk Junyi was Qi Hong who had led two disciples to block the inner ring passage.

He was humiliated by Xue Lin, his face showed anger, and he said coldly:

"Isn't Taoist friend pretending to be a tiger? If Taoist friend can call Chen Yuan now, Qi will not pester him. If he can't, he should obediently hand over the spiritual herbs on his body!"

After saying that, he changed the magic formula in his hand, and used a purple gold gourd magic weapon to spurt out a stream of fire, turning into dozens of flame butterflies and fluttering towards Xue Lin.

Xue Lin's complexion changed slightly, and he quickly activated his magic power. On the folding fan instrument in front of him, a stream of ink and wash appeared, trying to extinguish the flame butterfly.

But Qi Hong's purple gold gourd is extraordinary. The flames inside it are collected and refined from the earth's fire, and its power is extraordinary.

Only a dozen flame butterflies were extinguished, burning the ink stream into water vapor all over the sky. The remaining butterflies continued to pounce on Xue Lin.

Seeing that Xue Lin was about to fall into death, Song Qingru wanted to help, but was tightly entangled by another Ziyang Sect disciple.

Xue Lin gritted his teeth and changed the magic formula in his hand. The folding fan magic weapon suddenly expanded to the size of seven feet, blocking the flame butterfly.

But it was not a defensive weapon. Under the burning of the volcanic butterfly, the fan surface became scorched black and several holes were burnt through. It was about to be unable to withstand it.

Xue Lin also knew that this time was inevitable, and said bitterly:

"If Xue hadn't encountered a strong enemy along the way, exhausted his talismans, and severely damaged his defensive weapons, how could he have been defeated by you?"

Qi Hong laughed and said:

"The inner circle is dangerous. My Taoist friends are not strong enough. They relied on the power of others to enter the inner circle. This is what they deserve!"

As soon as he activated his magic power, the Purple Gold Gourd spurted out another stream of fire, transformed into several fire bats, and rushed towards Xue Lin, trying to kill him in one fell swoop.

But at this moment, a voice came:

"stop!"

Qi Hong was startled. He followed the sound and saw a golden flying sword, which flew towards him with lightning speed.

He did not dare to be careless, and the magic formula in his hand changed, and the fire bats spun around to face the flying sword.

At the same time, the flame on an oil lamp hanging in front of him suddenly lit up, and a light red light shield was held up to protect Qi Hong.

The golden flying sword came quickly, killing several fire bats in one blow, piercing the sky and piercing the light barrier.

There was a soft ding sound, and the light shield shook slightly, but it was not broken by the flying sword.

When Qi Hong saw this, his heart relaxed, and he immediately activated his magic power. The purple gold gourd spurted out three streams of fire, condensed into a fire phoenix, and rushed towards the golden flying sword.

The golden flying sword spun around, avoiding the fire phoenix, and flew back upside down.

Everyone looked along the sword and saw a figure floating down from the top of the valley. It was Mo Jingchun.

The golden flying swords circled around him, like swimming fish, full of spirituality.

Xue Lin saw that he was wearing the Lingyun Sect's standard robe, and he killed several fire bats of Qi Hong with one sword. It was obvious that he was not weak, and he said with great joy:

"Thank you, senior brother, for your help!"

Mo Jingchun suddenly took action, giving him a chance to breathe. After the folding fan was burned through, he took out a high-grade magic weapon and finally blocked the flame butterfly.

Song Qingru danced with the gauze in front of her body, blocking the opponent's blow, and said to Mo Jingchun:

"I am Song Qingru, and I have met Senior Brother Mo."

When the white auspicious clouds on the identity jade plate stood still, she knew that a fellow disciple was nearby, so she was not surprised by Mo Jingchun's appearance.

Mo Jingchun looked at the two of them and asked:

"Have you met Junior Brother Chen Yuan and Chen?"

Song Qingru was startled, then nodded and said:

"Yes, the two of us once joined forces with Senior Brother Chen to break into the secret environment."

Mo Jingchun nodded slightly, turned to look at Qi Hong, and said coldly:

"You can't move these two people."

Qi Hong stared at the golden flying sword hovering around Mo Jingchun, and suddenly nodded:

"Okay, I'll give fellow Taoist some face!"

He took back the purple gold gourd and oil lamp, turned around and left.

Another Ziyang Sect disciple was quite shocked when he saw this, but he also took back the magic weapon and left with Qi Hong.

Mo Jingchun had no intention of pursuing him, so he just stood there and watched the two people go away quietly.

After the two left the valley, the Ziyang Sect disciple said in confusion:

"Senior Brother Qi, are we leaving like this? There are a lot of spiritual herbs in the hands of those two people. If they can snatch them, senior brother will definitely be at the top when it comes to merit."

Qi Hong shook his head slightly:

"The person who helped me seems to be a sword cultivator, and his methods are not weak. There is no need to offend this person for the sake of the spiritual herbs in the hands of those two people."

The disciple was surprised and said:

"Does Lingyun Sect also have a sword cultivating inheritance?"

Qi Hong shook his head and said:

"This man's flying sword is fast and full of spirituality, but he has no sharpness. He should have received an incomplete inheritance, but compared with the disciples of the Tiangang Sword Sect, he is far behind."

…

In the valley, Mo Jingchun didn't know that Qi Hong had seen through him just by striking out with a sword.

After the two men left, he put away the golden flying sword, turned to look at the two men, and said:

"Tell me in detail about your cooperation with Junior Brother Chen."

Xue Lin and Song Qingru put away their magic weapons and told him in detail about their cooperation with Chen Yuan to break into the inner ring passage.

Mo Jingchun was shocked when he heard that Chen Yuan fought against eight men alone and did not lose the upper hand, and even killed one man in return:

"Are you serious?"

Xue Lin nodded and said:

"Absolutely true! Senior Brother Chen is invincible. If Qi Hong hadn't seen the situation and voluntarily admitted defeat and opened the passage, the seven of us would have been able to kill all the disciples of the two sects!"

Mo Jingchun was shocked. He thought he had paid enough attention to Chen Yuan, but he didn't expect that he still underestimated his strength.

At the same time, he was no longer worried about Chen Yuan's safety.

With such means, even if he met Qin Xuanning, Zhong Mianye and others, he could still escape unscathed.

But since Chen Yuan was safe and sound, why didn't he go to Luoxing Mountain?

Mo Jingchun was puzzled and prepared to ask Chen Yuan for clarification after leaving the secret realm.

Then, the three of them walked together and headed for the receiving place.

Along the way, they met several cultivators one after another. Seeing the three of them walking together, they did not take action.

Two hours later, the three of them came to the receiving place, found a secluded place, took out the receiving talisman, and waited quietly.

Three hours later, the receiving talisman suddenly emitted light, wrapped the three of them, and broke through the air.

...

Outside the secret realm, on the top of the barren mountain.

Six Jindan cultivators raised their hands and pinched their fingers, injecting mana into the array in front of them. Waves appeared in the void, and a door condensed by colorful spiritual light slowly emerged.

After a while, the spiritual light door slowly opened, and three colorful streams of light flew out. After landing, they turned into three figures, staggering two steps, and they were Mo Jingchun, Xue Lin, and Song Qingru.

They were extremely lucky, and were the first to leave the secret realm.

After the three landed, they stabilized their bodies and came to the area belonging to Lingyun Sect.

Jin Luoheng stood in front of the three people, with his hands behind his back, his body straight, his sleeves fluttering, and he was free and unrestrained.

Xue Lin suddenly walked up to Jin Luoheng, bowed deeply, and said loudly:

"Elder Jin, I have something to report. The disciples of Ziyang Sect and Guiyuan Sect have joined forces to block the disciples of the four sects from the inner ring passage, occupying the inner ring of the secret realm, looting spiritual herbs, and being overbearing and tyrannical. Please ask Elder Jin to make a decision for me!"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the elders of each sect changed, and only the Jindan cultivators of Guiyuan Sect and Ziyang Sect remained calm.

Jin Luoheng did not say anything, but Xu Changan said:

"Tell me in detail!"

Xue Lin then told the whole story. At this time, disciples from various sects flew out of the Lingguang Gate one after another. Disciples from Wanshou Mountain, Mingyin Valley, and Tiangang Sword Sect also reported the matter to their elders.

The green-robed old woman from the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain looked at the cultivator surnamed Xie:

"Fellow Daoist Xie, you need to give me an explanation for this matter."

The cultivator surnamed Xie said indifferently:

"In the secret realm, there is no restriction from the rules of the cultivation world. If the children are willing to join hands to collect spiritual herbs, what's wrong with that?"

The handsome Taoist of the Tiangang Sword Sect said coldly:

"The Ziyang Sect is a ten-thousand-year-old sect after all. Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed for doing this?"

The cultivator surnamed Xie remained calm and used the sound transmission technique to say:

"The catastrophe is coming, and the situation forces us to do it. Aren't all the fellow Daoists sending all the elite disciples to collect spiritual herbs? Although our sect's lineage is longer, if we don't adapt to the situation, we still don't know whether we can survive this catastrophe."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of several Jindan cultivators changed slightly, but they did not refute anymore.

Xu Changan looked at the two Jindan cultivators of Guiyuan Sect and said in a voice transmission:

"It seems that Guiyuan Sect is going to follow Ziyang Sect's lead?"

The two were silent. Seeing this, cultivator Xie smiled and said:

"Fellow Daoist Xu is wrong. In this catastrophe, the six major sects need to work together to fight the enemy. Our sect and Guiyuan Sect are just a little closer. We cooperate sincerely and there is no distinction between the main and the secondary."

A tall and thin Jindan cultivator from Mingyin Valley said:

"Since the six major sects are going to work together to fight the enemy, aren't you afraid that the six sects will become disunited if your sect and Guiyuan Sect do this?"

Fellow Daoist Xie shook his head and said:

"Fellow Daoist Gui is too serious. How can such a small matter affect the overall situation of the six sects? If fellow Daoists are interested, you can also let the disciples join forces on the next trip to the secret realm. My Ziyang Sect will never complain."

Cultivator Gui snorted coldly and said no more.

The other Jindan cultivators stopped questioning the cultivator surnamed Xie, but they looked at each other and showed signs of interest.

Ziyang Sect and Guiyuan Sect could do it, so why couldn't they?

The Qi-refining disciples present saw that the elders suddenly stopped talking halfway through their conversation, but only moved their lips. They knew that they were communicating privately, and they couldn't help but imagine.

As the elders stopped communicating, everyone knew that the matter had come to an end, and the disciples of the two sects who joined forces to block the inner ring passage were not punished.

The disciples of the four sects were very angry, but the disciples of Ziyang Sect and Guiyuan Sect were pleased.
