Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

When several Jiedan masters were transmitting messages to each other, disciples from various sects flew out of the Spiritual Light Gate one after another, including Qi Hong and the Ziyang Sect disciple.

With smiles on their faces, the two of them came to stand behind the slim girl in purple shirt. It was obvious that they had gained a lot.

After a while, two figures flew out of the secret realm and landed steadily, but they were Ren You and Yang Caijun.

The two of them saluted Taoist Yingting, and Taoist Yingting nodded slightly, with a smile on his face.

Among the disciples of this generation of Tiangang Sword Sect, Ren You has the highest talent. If he encounters an accident in the secret realm, it will be a big loss to Tiangang Sword Sect.

Ren You returned to the area where the Tiangang Sword Sect belonged, and looked up towards the Lingyun Sect. His eyes swept over the disciples of the Lingyun Sect one by one, but he did not see Chen Yuan.

He frowned slightly, turned his eyes, and looked at the aura gate.

Chen Yuan rescued him, and the two teamed up to break into the inner ring passage. He owed Chen Yuan a favor, and wanted to repay it this time, but he didn't expect that Chen Yuan hadn't come out yet.

However, the secret passage has not long been opened at this time, and it has to be maintained for two hours. There is enough time, and it will not be too late to return the favor when Chen Yuan comes out.

Ren You touched his storage bag and took out a bright blue talisman, holding it in his hand, attracting the attention of several people.

This talisman was taken from a Ziyang Sect disciple. However, as a sword cultivator, he only cultivated a flying sword and did not use any magic weapon or talisman.

But this thing is extremely precious to other Qi Refining monks, enough to repay Chen Yuan for rescuing the siege.

…

Among the disciples of the Lingyun Sect, Mo Jingchun has also been staring at the Spiritual Light Gate, his eyes sweeping over the disciples of various sects who flew out of the Spiritual Light Gate, looking for Chen Yuan.

But an hour and a half later, thirty-eight disciples from the Lingyun Sect had come out, but Chen Yuan never appeared.

During this period, Qin Xuanning led six Ziyang Sect disciples out of the Lingguang Gate. The monk named Xie's eyes lit up and he asked:

"Have you ever found that place?"

Qin Xuanning bowed deeply:

"Disciple has settled the matter."

The monk surnamed Xie showed a smile on his face and nodded slightly:

"You've done well. After you establish your foundation, you can join me as a disciple."

Qin Xuanning looked calm and said:

"yes."

The Danjie elders of each sect saw the expression of the monk named Xie and knew that what Qin Xuanning had done was definitely not trivial.

But this was a matter of Ziyang Sect, and they couldn't interfere.

Time passed slowly, and the secret realm was about to close in a quarter of an hour. There were fewer and fewer disciples leaving the secret realm, and it took a long time before there was one.

Mo Jingchun frowned and looked solemn.

Xue Lin and Song Qingru were standing next to Mo Jingchun, with surprise on their faces.

They have seen Chen Yuan's strength. With one against eight, they still have the upper hand. Who can hurt him?

Only fifteen disciples of the Tiangang Sword Sect entered the secret realm. A total of ten disciples came out at this time. The number of casualties was relatively small among all the sects.

But there was no trace of joy on Ren You's face. He held the cyan talisman tightly in his hand and looked solemn.

Qi Hong stood among the disciples of the Ziyang Sect, also staring at the Spiritual Light Gate with playful eyes.

He was waiting for news from Qin Xuanning. After he came out, he turned his eyes and saw that Chen Yuan was not among the disciples of Lingyun Sect.

With one against eight, Chen Yuan forced Qi Hong to admit defeat and give up the passage, which he regarded as a great shame and humiliation.

If Chen Yuan died in the secret realm, he would also let out a bad breath.

Suddenly, a colorful spiritual light flew out from the spiritual light gate, and disciples from all sects looked at it together.

Mo Jingchun clenched his fists and widened his eyes, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes.

The spiritual light disappeared, and a one-armed figure wearing a green shirt landed on the ground, which made everyone lose interest.

This person was He Xin. He breathed a long sigh of relief, looked back at the Spiritual Light Gate with lingering fear, and then walked towards the area where the Lingyun Sect belonged.

After entering the inner ring, he was careful not to provoke those powerful monsters, but only found a dozen three-hundred-year-old magic grass.

But relying on the spirit fox's keen sense of smell, he found an extremely weak second-level wolf demon that had given birth to cubs.

The congratulatory letter was overjoyed, and he used all his cards to kill him and pluck the nine seven-star grass he was guarding, which was enough to exchange for a foundation-building pill.

But the wolf monster is a second-level monster after all. Even if its strength decreases after giving birth, it is still not a match for He Xin.

He spent two days constantly harassing the wolf demon and exhausting its energy before finally winning.

After killing the wolf demon, He Xin immediately rushed to the place of reception and narrowly escaped the secret realm at the last moment.

When Mo Jingchun saw that this person was not Chen Yuan, his face turned uglier again. He continued to look at the Lingguang Gate, but heard Xue Lin beside him say:

"Junior Brother He, have you ever met Senior Brother Chen?"

He Xin was startled, then shook his head and said:

"I haven't seen He. Has Senior Brother Chen not come out yet?"

After that, he raised his head and scanned for a week, and sure enough he didn't find Chen Yuan.

He Xinxin was stunned, and then a burst of ecstasy surged from the bottom of his heart.

Could it be that Chen Yuan died in the secret realm?

After he saw Chen Yuan's strength, he gave up his plan to chase Chen Yuan and concentrated on searching for the spiritual grass.

As for whether Huang Anhe wanted to cause trouble for him, he couldn't care less.

But if Chen Yuan did not leave the secret realm, then he could get another 1,500 spiritual stones from Huang Anhe.

This is also a big gain for the foundation-building monks.

He Xin stared at the spiritual light door without blinking, hoping it would close quickly and not let Chen Yuan out.

Mo Jingchun heard that He Xin had also seen Chen Yuan, and asked Xue Lin in a low voice about the whole story. He just learned that He Xin was one of the six people who joined forces with Chen Yuan. He couldn't help but look at him twice, but he saw that He Xin's expression changed, and he seemed to be quite happy.

Mo Jingchun frowned slightly, kept this in mind, and continued to look at the Lingguang Gate.

But time passed slowly, and no one came out.

Finally, the Jindan cultivators of various factions withdrew their magic power, and the six array plates in their hands turned into ashes and dissipated with the wind. The Lingguang Gate slowly closed and gradually disappeared.

From beginning to end, Chen Yuan never came out of the secret realm.

Mo Jingchun sighed lightly, feeling regretful.

He had always been optimistic about Chen Yuan. After learning that Chen Yuan had the strength to fight eight people alone, he felt that he had a promising future. The lineage of scattered cultivators might produce another figure like Jin Luoheng.

But he never thought that Chen Yuan would die in the secret realm.

Ren You shook his head slightly and put away the green talisman.

Since Chen Yuan was dead, he naturally didn't have to repay the favor he owed.

He Xin felt relieved and thought about what means to use to get the 1,500 spirit stones from Huang Anhe.

Huang Anhe had asked him for something before, so he agreed to increase the price.

Now that Chen Yuan was dead, Huang Anhe might default on his debt.

However, He Xin had been seeking revenge for others many times in the past and was experienced. If Huang Anhe dared to default on his debt, he had plenty of means to get the remaining spirit stones.

Next to He Xin, Xue Lin sighed:

"Poor Senior Brother Chen was so powerful and had a good chance of building a foundation, but he died in this secret realm. What a trick of fate..."

Song Qingru lowered her eyes slightly, pursed her lips, and stared at the place where the spiritual light gate disappeared for a long time without saying a word.

Qi Hong was relieved to see that Chen Yuan had never come out, but he didn't dare to show it.

The monk surnamed Xie walked in front of the crowd, frowning slightly, exuding a deep aura, even the air became stagnant, and a heavy feeling weighed on the hearts of the disciples of Ziyang Sect.

This time, a total of 117 disciples of Ziyang Sect entered the secret realm, but only 56 came out, and more than half of the disciples were dead or injured.

However, no matter how many other Qi-refining disciples were killed or injured, the monk surnamed Xie did not care.

But Du Yu actually died in the secret realm, which made him feel a little headache.

Others did not know, but the monk surnamed Xie knew very well that this person was favored by another elder Qi in the sect, who spent a lot of effort and cultivated him. After building the foundation, he would be accepted as an inner disciple by him.

And this elder Qi had a similar cultivation level to the monk surnamed Xie, and had a very high status in the sect. He had to explain this matter clearly. If Elder Qi misunderstood, it would become a troublesome matter.

Qin Xuanning stood in front of the disciples of Ziyang Sect, with an upright posture and a calm face, but a hint of joy flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Du Yu had always been at odds with him, and had competed with him for the position of a true disciple, but he lost in the end because of his violent temperament, his love of eating the flesh and blood of monsters, and his bad reputation.

But Du Yu was extremely powerful, and he had the support of Elder Qi behind him, so he would always be a trouble in the future.

His death in the secret realm was a good thing for him to have one less opponent in the sect.

The disciples of Ziyang Sect suffered heavy losses, and the other sects were not much better. Except for Tiangang Sword Sect, more than half of the disciples were killed or injured.

The faces of the Jindan cultivators of various sects were quite ugly. They released giant swords, evil dragons, flying boats, and giant ships one after another, and took their disciples away from here.

The purple-shirted female cultivator wanted to make trouble for Jin Luoheng, but was stopped by the cultivator surnamed Xie. She did not dare to make any more troubles. She glared at Jin Luoheng fiercely, boarded the giant boat of Ziyang Sect, and fled far away.

Jin Luoheng smiled faintly, not caring at all. He stepped on the giant boat released by Xu Changan.

The giant boat slowly rose into the air and flew to the north. Jin Luoheng stood at the bow, with his hands behind his back, overlooking the barren mountain below, and said softly:

"The disciple who knew alchemy died in the secret realm. It's a pity..."

...

When the spiritual light gate was closed, a loud noise that shook the earth woke Chen Yuan from his sleep.

He had slept for a day and a night, and his energy was fully restored. Hearing this loud noise, his heart tightened, and he immediately turned over and got out of bed and walked out of the two-story building.

He looked up and saw that outside the dark blue light curtain, a series of colorful spiritual lights flew through the sky. Some spiritual lights hit the light curtain and trembled, as if they were about to break.

The rich spiritual energy in the valley suddenly became violent.

Chen Yuan used his power to absorb a trace of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body, but found that he could not transform it into magic power at all, so he had to release it again.

This should be the spiritual energy storm that was set off after the secret realm was closed.

In the past, there was a disciple of Lingyun Sect who was stranded in the secret realm and survived the spiritual energy storm by chance.

After he left the secret realm, he told his own experience, and this scene was exactly the same as he described.

Chen Yuan stood there, concentrating and watching. Although the deep blue light curtain was shaking constantly, there was no crack, and he was relieved.

He returned to the small building, took out the "Zhang Family Alchemy Summary", and carefully studied the method of refining the foundation-building pill.

The spiritual energy storm will last for seven days and seven nights. After the storm is over, he can start refining pills and impact the foundation!
