Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

Mo Jingchun glanced at the elegant middle-aged scholar and whispered, "The real person dressed like a mortal scholar is Elder Wu Zexian, who also comes from a lineage of casual cultivators."

"Before entering the sect, Elder Wu was the top scholar in Qi State. He wrote books when he was over 20 years old and was revered as a great scholar by the court of Qi State."

"Later, by chance, he embarked on the immortal path. After that, his cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds. He formed a golden elixir within a hundred years and was well-known in the entire Qi State immortal cultivation world."

"As for the other two elders, I don't know."

Chen Yuan looked at Elder Wu Zexian with a look of surprise on his face.

He formed a golden elixir after only a hundred years of cultivation. What kind of genius is this?

Wu Zexian seemed to notice Chen Yuan's gaze and turned to look at him with a smile on his face.

Chen Yuan met Wu Zexian's gaze, and his head banged. He felt a huge and upright aura enveloping him, and he was about to kneel down and submit to this majestic aura.

But at this moment, the jade disk in Chen Yuan's soul space emitted a faint light. Chen Yuan trembled, and his eyes regained clarity. He hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look again, and bowed deeply to Wu Zexian.

Elder Wu's eyes flashed with a trace of surprise, and he looked at Chen Yuan deeply, then retracted his gaze.

The female cultivator with a veil on her face noticed his movements, turned her head and glanced at the disciples in the middle and back of the giant boat, and smiled: "Brother Wu, did you find anything unusual? He actually released a trace of righteousness."

Elder Wu smiled and said: "Nothing, just a rather interesting junior."

The other three looked over here, and after hearing this, they didn't ask any more questions.

After Chen Yuan avoided Elder Wu's gaze, a cold sweat broke out on his back, and he hurriedly looked inside himself, sweeping his body inch by inch with his consciousness to check if there was anything abnormal.

He was surprised to find that his soul had become more solid. Although the coverage of his consciousness did not expand, his perception ability became more delicate. Apart from that, there was no abnormality.

Chen Yuan felt relieved, and then he became alert.

He had just come out of retreat, and there were fellow disciples around him, and there was a Jindan Zhenren sitting in charge. He relaxed his vigilance and dared to stare at the Jindan Zhenren, which was very disrespectful.

Fortunately, Elder Wu only punished him slightly, and there was a jade disk guarding his soul space. Not only was he not crushed to the ground, but he also got some benefits, and his soul became more solid.

If it were an ordinary foundation-building cultivator, he would definitely make a fool of himself in front of his fellow disciples.

In front of high-level cultivators, low-level cultivators are like ants, and they must not be careless at all.

Chen Yuan secretly warned himself, retracted his gaze, and dared not look at the five elders standing at the bow of the boat again.

Shen Danmei and Mo Jingchun saw Chen Yuan suddenly bow to the five Jindan Zhenren, and they were confused. Shen Danmei asked: "Junior Brother Chen, what are you doing?"

Chen Yuan said seriously: "I heard what Senior Brother Mo said, I admire Elder Wu very much, my heart is excited, and I show some respect."

Shen Danmei smiled and said: "Elder Wu's Confucian skills are indeed superb. But if we talk about legends, we have to count Elder Zhuge who just announced the sect's decree."

Mo Jingchun was surprised: "The one who just announced the decree was actually Elder Zhuge?"

Shen Danmei nodded and said: "That's right!"

Chen Yuan didn't dare to stare at the Jindan Zhenren this time Look, asked: "Is this Elder Zhuge famous?"

Mo Jingchun looked excited: "Of course, Elder Zhuge is the last disciple of the head master. He practiced to the late Jindan stage decades ago. His methods are unfathomable."

"It is said that he once killed a late Jindan demon cultivator. He is one of the elders in the sect who is expected to impact the Nascent Soul. He has an outstanding reputation, but he has rarely appeared in the past 20 years. I have only heard of him but not seen him."

"This time, Elder Zhuge is leading the team. We should not suffer any loss."

Chen Yuan was relieved when he saw that Mo Jingchun highly praised Elder Zhuge.

The five Jindan elders who led the team to the Demon Desert this time are all extraordinary people, and the other five sects should not be much worse.

Even if they don't win this battle, they should not be defeated miserably.

Although Chen Yuan's physical strength was comparable to that of a level 5 demon beast after he used the secret technique of the giant spirit body, which was enough to look down on the foundation-building cultivators, he seemed extremely small in the battle of thousands of foundation-building cultivators, and there were also dozens of Jindan cultivators participating in the battle, so he did not dare to be arrogant at all.

...

The giant boat flew westward for five hours, and finally in the middle of the night, it crossed a long mountain range and came to a Gobi desert, and its speed gradually slowed down.

This was originally an unnamed desert, but after being designated as a battlefield between the righteous and the evil, it was named the Demon-Slaying Desert by the Six Sects of Qi State, intending to wipe out the demon cultivators.

Although it was late at night, a full moon hung high in the sky, shedding clear silver light, illuminating this Gobi desert. With the eyesight of a cultivator, he could still see the scene a hundred feet away.

Chen Yuan's five senses were much sharper than those of ordinary foundation-building cultivators, and he could see three hundred feet away in the night.

As the giant boat slowed down and gradually descended, Chen Yuan clearly saw that an oasis with a radius of more than ten miles appeared in the Gobi Desert, which was supposed to be a barren desert.

The oasis was full of dense forests, lakes, pavilions, and more than a dozen hills. The scenery was elegant and beautiful, standing abruptly in the desolate and empty Gobi Desert, like a mirage.

As the giant boat descended, Chen Yuan gradually lost sight of the full picture of the oasis. Other cultivators also saw the oasis one after another, and kept exclaiming in amazement.

A foundation-building cultivator was even more puzzled, "I have been here before. This desert has always been extremely desolate. When did this oasis appear?"

Just then, a voice came: "Fellow Daoist, who is here? Please let us know your name!"

A beam of light suddenly rose from the oasis and flew towards the giant boat.

The young monk standing at the bow of the boat said indifferently: "I am Zhuge Qi, the elder of Lingyun Sect, and I am leading 207 disciples of Lingyun Sect to help here."

He raised his hand and waved, and a jade token flew out, turning into a stream of light, which was very conspicuous in the night.

As soon as the young monk finished speaking, the light of light immediately stopped in front of the giant boat, and a figure appeared, with a very respectful expression and a spiritual acumen. He was a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building.

After he received the jade token, he just glanced at it and respectfully returned it to me: "Please wait for a moment, senior. I will report to Master Jing of our sect."

After that, he lowered the light of light, and the giant boat also stopped, hanging above the oasis.

After a while, the night sky above the oasis suddenly rippled a few times like the surface of the water, and a beam of light rose from the oasis. In the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of the giant boat, revealing a white-haired old man in a Taoist robe.

He bowed to the five Jindan Taoists standing at the bow of the boat and said loudly: "Thank you for waiting for me, fellow Taoists of Lingyun Sect. The formation has been activated. Please lower the flying boat."

The five Jindan Taoists returned the greetings one after another, and the young cultivator said calmly: "Thank you."

He raised his sleeves and waved, and the giant boat slowly descended and landed on an open space in the oasis.
