Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

More than a dozen colorful streams of light fell on the ground, revealing the figures among them.

The expression of the monk surnamed Xie changed, and the smile disappeared without a trace.

Among these dozen monks, none of them were disciples of Ziyang Sect or Guiyuan Sect. They were disciples of Lingyun Sect, Tiangang Sword Sect, Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, and Mingyin Valley.

The alchemy monks from other sects were also surprised when they saw this.

Only by activating the guiding talismans at the same time can they leave the secret realm together.

The disciples of these four sects originally belonged to two sects, so why did they go together?

At this time, an elder from the Netherworld Valley noticed that one of the young monks had a different spiritual intelligence than ordinary people. He was actually a foundation-building monk, and shouted: "Who are you? How did you enter the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain?"

Other alchemy cultivators also noticed this person's abnormality, and all looked at him with different expressions.

The monk surnamed Xie looked solemn, and there was a faint feeling of something bad in his heart.

The monks from other sects were extremely surprised, and then felt angry.

Over the past ten thousand years, due to restrictions, various sects have sent Qi refining disciples into the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain to collect spiritual herbs.

However, the Lingyun Sect secretly sent a foundation-building monk into the secret realm. Wouldn't it be a huge advantage?

Thinking about the past two hours, the number of disciples from various sects leaving the secret realm was very small. Could it be this person?

Suddenly, the alchemy monks from all factions looked at Jin Luoheng and Ji Bin with unkind eyes.

An elder from the Guiyuan Sect even directly sneered: "The Lingyun Sect is so capable that it can actually send the foundation-building monks into the secret realm. From now on, the spiritual herbs in the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain will all belong to the Lingyun Sect, right? "

Even the Yingting Taoist of Tiangang Sword Sect had a look of displeasure on his face.

Tiangang Sword Sect and Lingyun Sect are allies, but in the end they know nothing about this matter. Does Lingyun Sect really regard Tiangang Sword Sect as an ally?

But Jin Luoheng and Ji Bin also frowned and looked solemn.

My family knows their own affairs, and even the Yuanying monks are unable to break through the restrictions of the Dongxu Mountain secret realm. How can they send foundation-building disciples into the secret realm? Who is this person?

The young monk was wearing the standard robes of the Lingyun Sect. He had a handsome appearance and sword-shaped eyebrows. He was Chen Yuan.

It took him only a moment after landing to recover.

But faced with the questioning from the elders of the Netherworld Valley, and under the pressure of the consciousness of nearly ten alchemy monks, Chen Yuan's body trembled, sweat dripped from his temples, and he was unable to speak.

Although the other dozen disciples were not targeted, they stood beside Chen Yuan and were affected by the pressure. They were also unable to speak and could only resist the pressure with all their strength.

Jin Luoheng frowned slightly, waved his robe sleeves, and turned into a breeze, blowing over Chen Yuan's body, dispelling the pressure of the alchemy monks, and said calmly: "Fellow Taoists, please don't be impatient, Jin guarantees, Our Lingyun Sect has never and cannot send a Foundation Establishment disciple into the secret realm. We might as well listen to this person’s self-defense before we deal with it.”

Chen Yuan felt that the pressure on his body suddenly dissipated, and he felt light all over. He stumbled forward two steps before he stabilized his body. His forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he was extremely embarrassed.

But when the alchemy monks from various sects saw this, they were quite surprised.

Ordinary monks in the early stages of foundation building, under the pressure of so many alchemy monks, would have been unable to hold on and would have fallen to their knees.

Although this person cannot speak, he can still stand without falling. He has a solid foundation, which few monks at the same level can match.

With this thought, the alchemy cultivators from various factions looked at Jin Luoheng and Ji Bin with even more unkind eyes.

A foundation-building monk with such a solid foundation can be regarded as an elite no matter which sect he is placed in.

The Lingyun Sect sent this person into the secret realm, either because they were taking risks and had great intentions, or they had mastered the ability to break the restrictions on cultivation in the secret realm.

No matter which point, it is extremely detrimental to the other five sects.

Chen Yuan didn't know what the alchemy monks from each sect were thinking. He closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing for a moment before he recovered from the pressure just now.

The pressure of the spiritual consciousness of nearly ten alchemy monks gathered on one person at the same time, like a mountain pressing down on the top, and the water from all over the world overturning, almost crushing Chen Yuan.

If he hadn't been filled with starlight, his physical body and spiritual consciousness would be far superior to monks of the same level, and he would no longer be able to hold on.

But just a few breaths of pressure made Chen Yuan try his best to hold on, as if he had gone through a fierce battle. Most of his magic power was consumed, and his body and consciousness were obviously tired.

But this was obviously not the time to restore his magic power. He took a deep breath, bowed deeply to Jin Luoheng and Ji Bin first, and then saluted the alchemy monks of each sect in turn, saying: "Chen Yuan, an outer disciple of the Lingyun sect, see you. Passed Elder Jin, Elder Ji, and all the seniors.”

As soon as this statement came out, the alchemy cultivators from various sects had different reactions.

Jin Luoheng was startled for a moment, then his face showed surprise, and his eyes looking at Chen Yuan were filled with disbelief.

Ji Bin frowned and shouted: "Since you have foundation-building skills, how can you still be an outer disciple?"

The alchemy monks from all the factions were all sneering. Only the monk named Xie had a serious expression on his face and never spoke.

Chen Yuan looked at Ji Bin and said sincerely: "In front of the two elders and all the seniors, I don't dare to lie to each other. Although the disciple has successfully built the foundation, he has not returned to the sect. He is indeed an outer disciple now."

The Guiyuan Sect elder who just made a sarcastic comment sneered and said, "Haha, you haven't returned to the sect yet? Could it be that you broke through in the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain?"

Chen Yuan nodded and said, "That's right."

The elder of the Guiyuan Sect was stunned for a moment, with an angry look on his face, and shouted: "You dare to talk nonsense in front of me! The secret realm is only open for seven days. How can you break through the foundation and stabilize your cultivation within these seven days?"

Chen Yuan said: "How dare I lie to you, senior. However, I did not break through the foundation building stage within seven days, but four years ago."

The elder of Guiyuan Sect became even more impatient after hearing this. He turned to look at Jin Luoheng and said: "Fellow Daoist Jin, you are just looking at your disciples. Are you kidding us by saying these crazy things? According to what he said, he has been in the secret realm for ten years. Not only is he safe and sound, but he has also broken through the foundation building stage. How is this possible?"

The elder of Mingyin Valley, who first saw that Chen Yuan was a foundation building cultivator, said sinisterly: "Fellow Daoist Zou is right. Fellow Daoist Jin should tell the truth. Don't let a junior make trouble here and lose face."

The other Jindan cultivators looked over, and even Ji Bin was suspicious, thinking that this was something Jin Luoheng did secretly without telling him.

He knew that this Junior Brother Jin not only had a high level of cultivation, but also had a deep mind. It was hard to see what he was thinking. He was a casual cultivator, but he cultivated to the middle stage of Jindan in less than 300 years. He was highly appreciated by the head of the sect Xuanyuanzi and should not be underestimated.

Facing the suspicious eyes of the crowd, Jin Luoheng smiled slightly: "Fellow Daoists, please be patient. Ten years ago, it was Jin and Senior Brother Xu who escorted the disciples to the secret realm, and Junior Brother Chen was among them. He also teamed up with several Qi-refining disciples in the secret realm, fighting one against eight, and broke into the inner ring passage. But when the secret realm was closed, he did not come out, and he was already listed in the list of deceased disciples in the sect. Jin felt it was a pity. At that time, fellow Daoists Xie and Zhang also escorted disciples here, and they should be able to remember Junior Brother Chen's face."

Hearing this, the Jindan cultivators of various sects changed color slightly and looked at the handsome Taoist and the cultivator surnamed Xie.

Taoist Yingting lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Yes, when the secret realm was opened ten years ago, Junior Brother Chen was indeed among the disciples of Lingyun Sect. He teamed up with Junior Brother Ren of our sect to force his way into the inner ring passage, fighting one against eight, and not losing the upper hand."

Everyone looked at the cultivator surnamed Xie again, and his face was slightly solemn, saying: "Xie also remembered that Junior Brother Chen did enter the secret realm in front of me that year."

After this, no one doubted the authenticity of Chen Yuan's words.

The soul of a Jindan cultivator is powerful, and everything he experienced in the past is remembered in his heart and will never be forgotten.

Taoist Yingting and cultivator surnamed Xie would not pay attention to a small Qi Refining disciple back then, but after a little recollection, they can recall Chen Yuan's appearance.

But Chen Yuan's one against eight is nothing in the eyes of these Jindan cultivators.

Those who can cultivate all the way to the Jindan stage are all geniuses in the sect. They are almost invincible in the same level in the Qi Refining stage. Not to mention fighting one against eight, even fighting one against ten, there are people who have done it.

Jin Luoheng smiled and said: "You should believe it now, fellow Taoists. Brother Chen has indeed stayed in the secret realm for ten years and just came out today. But why can he break through the foundation, I don't know, why don't you listen to Brother Chen's own account?"

Everyone turned their eyes to Chen Yuan again, and the Qi Refining disciples of various sects who left the secret realm stared at him closely, with shocked expressions on their faces.

The dozen disciples who left the secret realm with Chen Yuan also showed curiosity.

They also wanted to know how Chen Yuan stayed in the secret realm for ten years and was still safe and sound, and was able to break through the foundation.

Chen Yuan bowed to the Jindan cultivators of various sects again and said, "It's a long story. After entering the secret realm, I joined forces with three fellow disciples and three Taoist friends Ren You, Yang Caijun and Mu Peng from the Tiangang Sword Sect to break into the inner ring and collect spiritual herbs..."

He modified his experience in the past ten years, concealing the map of the secret realm, breaking the restrictions, fighting with Du Yu, practicing "Nine Transformations of the True Spirit", etc.

He only said that he accidentally entered a spiritual medicine garden with intact restrictions and survived the spiritual storm by chance. It happened that there were a lot of three spiritual herbs, Yin Yang Zhi, Angelica dahurica, and Seven Star Grass, growing in the spiritual medicine garden. He was an alchemist, so he took the risk to refine the foundation-building pill and succeeded in building the foundation by chance.

This time the secret realm was opened and the restrictions of the secret realm were weakened, so he broke the restrictions of the spiritual medicine garden from the inside and escaped.

After Chen Yuan finished telling his story of the past ten years, the elder of Guiyuan Sect turned his eyes and asked, "Since you are an alchemist, why do you still want to enter the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain?"

Without waiting for Chen Yuan to answer, Jin Luoheng smiled and said, "Did you forget that Brother Chen said that he is an outer disciple, just like Jin, who joined the sect through the Ascension Conference. If he does not enter the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain to collect spiritual herbs and exchange for foundation-building pills, he will have to endure ten years before he can exchange for foundation-building pills, so he will naturally take a risk."

First update, there are two more updates.
