Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

Blood gushed out like a spring, dyeing the snow and wind all over the sky red.

A green demon pill shot up into the sky and fled in panic.

Chen Yuan loosened his hands and threw the two pieces of the Green Eyed Eagle's body down. Then he caught up with the demon pill and grabbed it in his hands.

A Green Eyed Eagle's spirit, which had shrunk a hundred times, flew out of the demon pill, looked at Chen Yuan with resentment, and shrieked, then collapsed on its own.

The demon beasts were violent, and when they had no way to escape, they would rather destroy their spirits than fall into the hands of cultivators.

Chen Yuan almost never got the spirits of demon beasts when he was hunting demons in the Ten Thousand Demon Sea.

Only a few demon beasts were killed by him unexpectedly, and their spirits were preserved.

His body returned to normal, and he descended the escape light, took the remains of the Green Eyed Eagle into his hands, took off its two eyeballs, a pair of iron claws and a body of black feathers, and put them into the mustard ring together with the demon pill.

This green-eyed eagle is indeed a monster that has refined the transverse bone in its throat. The demon power in the demon pill is extremely pure, far exceeding that of ordinary level 7 monsters. The demon essence pill is much stronger.

According to common sense, monsters must transform before they can remove the transverse bone in their mouths and speak human words.

However, some powerful monsters can forcibly refine the transverse bone in their throats and speak human words after taking the bone-refining pill.

Bone-refining pills are easy to obtain. This kind of strange pill uses three hundred years of spiritual herbs as the main ingredient, and the difficulty of refining is only equivalent to the pills in the late stage of foundation building.

When Chen Yuan worshipped Jin Luoheng as his master, Shen Danmei gave him a recipe for bone-refining pills.

The difficulty of removing the transverse bone lies in the monster itself. Ordinary monsters have mixed demon power, and even if they take bone-refining pills, they cannot remove the transverse bone.

Generally, the sixth-level monster royal family can remove the transverse bone in their mouths, and some level 7 monsters with strong bloodlines can also do it.

Chen Yuan took the most valuable material from the blue-eyed eagle, then flicked his finger, and a fireball flew out, burning the remaining body into ashes, which were blown away by the wind.

After doing all this, Chen Yuan took back the Yuan Crocodile Armor to his Dantian and fled far away.

While flying, he did not forget to spread his spiritual sense and continued to explore the ice under the snow.

After several hours, Chen Yuan's true energy was consumed by a small part, but he still found nothing.

Just as he was thinking about whether to lower the escape light and restore the true energy, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his body turned and flew to the right.

After flying seven or eight miles, he lowered the escape light and stopped at a height of ten feet above the ground. There was white snow under him, just like other places.

Chen Yuan flicked his sleeves, and a gust of wind blew, rolling up the snow on the ground, revealing a piece of solid ice.

The solid ice on the ice field was formed by snow and was pure white, but the inside was not transparent, and the ground under the solid ice could not be seen clearly.

But the ice here is different, with a hint of blue in the snow-white.

This hint of blue is very light, and it is not noticeable in the white ice. Moreover, it is very small, with a radius of only three meters. In the vast ice field, it is just a drop in the ocean.

If Chen Yuan had not used his spiritual sense to carefully investigate at all times, not missing any place on the ice field, and paying special attention to this hint of light blue, it would be impossible to detect it.

A hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and he raised his sleeves and flicked them. Several formation flags flew out and inserted into the ice. Then he raised his hand and pinched his fingers, and a layer of formation curtain rose, and his figure disappeared into the air.

This is a low-level spiritual formation, which has the effect of hiding and concealing.

Chen Yuan sat cross-legged, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and restoring his true essence.

After half an hour, Chen Yuan's true essence in his body was fully restored, and he stood up and took back the formation flag.

He raised his hand and grabbed it, and the Feiyun Sword appeared out of thin air, and then he pointed at one point, and the Feiyun Sword made a sword sound, shot out, and slashed on this piece of ice!

Crack!

A gap appeared in the three-zhang-sized ice. Chen Yuan continued to mobilize his true energy, and the Feiyun Sword slashed down continuously, continuing to slash down along the crack.

One zhang, two zhang, three zhang...

The Feiyun Sword slashed horizontally and vertically, and the gap became a deep pit of about ten zhang in size, getting deeper and deeper.

Chen Yuan continued to mobilize his true energy, staring at the deep pit with a solemn expression.

At the same time, he did not forget to spread his spiritual sense to investigate the situation around him, always guarding against other cultivators and monsters.

Finally, when the Feiyun Sword went deep into the pit for more than ten zhang and flew up again, the bottom of the deep pit was finally not pure white, but a hint of blue light.

Chen Yuan pointed at one point, and the Feiyun Sword slashed horizontally and vertically, expanding the gap, and the hint of blue light became more and more obvious.

When Chen Yuan recalled the Feiyun Sword again, a blue hole appeared at the bottom of the deep pit, extending downward, and it was bottomless.

Chen Yuan smiled, put the Feiyun Sword back into his Dantian, and jumped into the hole.

Behind him, heavy snow fell, and when it came into contact with the cave entrance, it would turn into solid ice and seal it again.

Soon, the deep pit of several feet was buried by the snow, leaving no trace.

…

After Chen Yuan entered the pit, he raised his hand and grabbed it, and the Yuan Tujia appeared out of thin air, circling around him.

The pit was about three feet in size, and the walls of the cave were covered with an unknown moss, emitting a faint blue light, illuminating Chen Yuan's way forward.

After flying for hundreds of feet, he finally arrived at the end of the pit.

Chen Yuan slowed down his speed, and the Yuan Tujia protected him in front of him. He slowly flew out of the pit, and his eyes suddenly opened up.

This is a blue world, with undulating domes, full of drooping stalactites, covered with blue moss, and emitting faint blue light.

About a hundred feet below the dome, there is a black plain covered with gravel and sand, extending outward, endless.

There is a dense forest on the black plain. The branches of the trees are twisted and, under the blue light, they are stained with a layer of light blue, like a ghost.

Chen Yuan spread out his spiritual sense. In this huge cave, he finally no longer had the suppression on the ice field. All the wind and grass movements within thirty miles around him were under his control.

Within the range of his spiritual sense, he saw a group of strange beasts in the black forest. Thousands of them gathered together, shaped like bats, three feet long, with a pair of sharp fangs, hanging upside down on the trees, and seemed to be in a deep sleep.

Chen Yuan lowered his escape light, and the Yuan Tujia slowly circled around him, and was also stained with a layer of blue light, looking extremely weird.

This is the place he is looking for.

The ice field and the desert are only the appearance of the Ice and Fire Realm. This boundless cave is the true face of the Ice and Fire Realm.

The fierce beasts in the Ice and Fire Realm live in this cave, but they will occasionally go to the ice field along the pits to temper their bodies with the power of wind and snow.

The light blue ice was infected by blue moss and mutated. The fierce beasts can shuttle freely in it without destroying the ice, so their whereabouts are so secretive.

When Master Qingyou entered Jueling Island, he entered the underground cave, collected the inner cores of two kinds of fierce beasts, and passed the test.

Of course, this underground cave was not discovered by Master Qingyou, but was passed down as a secret by the ancestors of Wentian Sect.

As a true disciple, Master Qingyou learned this secret from his master before entering Jueling Island.

Only a large sect like Wentian Sect, which has been passed down for nearly ten thousand years, has the opportunity to discover this secret after many years of exploration by the ancestors who have repeatedly entered Jueling Island.

When ordinary cultivators enter Jueling Island, they only think about how to pass the test and look for fierce beasts everywhere.

They will not pay attention to the ice covered by thick snow, and will not waste time to break through more than ten feet of ice just to explore the secrets that may exist under the ice.

Chen Yuan got the memory of Master Qingyou, so he naturally knew this secret.

But he didn't take it to heart at first. Tongtian Order was hard to come by, and he had Yujue in his hand, so he didn't need to enter Jueling Island to take risks for the time being.

Of course, if his body was not close to the level 7 monster, he would not be able to break through the bottleneck soon, but needed hundreds of years of starlight infusion to break through. He would also seek the opportunity to enter the Absolute Spirit Island.

Cultivating immortals is to fight for life span, fight with the sky, fight with the earth, fight with people, and fight for a chance.

If you just seek stability and dare not take risks, you will waste hundreds of years of life in vain, and eventually you will not be able to escape the fate of turning into yellow earth.

Then, under the pressure of the old man Yuntian, he had to enter the Absolute Spirit Island, and the memory of the real person Qingyou naturally emerged from the bottom of his heart.

After entering the ice and fire realm, he began to look for the pit to enter the cave. It took him three days to finally get what he wanted.

Chen Yuan raised his hand and grabbed it, and the Feiyun Sword appeared out of thin air. Then he pointed his finger at one point, and the sword light flashed, slashing at the group of bats in the black forest below.

The Feiyun Sword was extremely fast, and it fell in the blink of an eye, cutting more than a dozen bats hanging upside down on the branches into two pieces, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.

The rest of the bat beasts were all startled, opened their blood-red eyes, flapped their bat wings, rushed towards Chen Yuan, and made sharp and piercing sounds.

They were not slow, but the Feiyun Sword was faster, moving back and forth, and the sword energy was across the sky. Bat beasts fell from the sky one by one, sprinkling a bloody rain.

Occasionally, a few bat beasts flew to Chen Yuan, but they could not break through the defense of the Yuanlong Armor. They ran into him head-on and opened their fangs to bite, but instead broke their teeth.

Chen Yuan flicked his finger, and a clever fire crow flew out, burning all the bat beasts to ashes.

After hundreds of bat beasts died, the other bat beasts finally became afraid and fled in all directions.

Chen Yuan then lowered his escape light and landed in the Black Forest.

These bat beasts are a kind of fierce beasts, which Master Qingyou has also encountered.

This beast is weak, only equivalent to a foundation-building cultivator, and has no intelligence. It acts on instinct and is very easy to deal with.

The inner elixir of the bat beast was of no value to Chen Yuan. He drove these beasts away to confirm the direction.

There was no sun or moon in the cave, and it was extremely difficult to identify the direction, but the Wentian Sect had accumulated thousands of years of experience and had its own way to determine the direction.

Chen Yuan came to the top of a big tree, raised his hand to grab a thick branch, and pulled it up.

This big tree, about three meters high and as thick as a man's embrace, was uprooted, and the long roots were brought out. The soil rolled around like waves.

When the big tree was completely off the ground, the soil around it slid to the middle, making a rustling sound.

Chen Yuan swept his consciousness and found that the roots on one side of the tree were much denser than the other side, and nodded.

The Wentian Sect monks accidentally discovered that the roots of the trees in the cave grew unevenly due to some mysterious reason.

In the cave under the ice field, the sparse side of the tree roots is the north, leading to the cave under the desert.

Chen Yuan lit a layer of flames on his right hand, burning the tree to ashes, and flew north with a flying light.

When Master Qingyou entered the cave, he also used this method to identify the direction, but the direction he chose later was completely opposite to Chen Yuan's.

There are not only fierce beasts in the cave, but also many spiritual medicines.

The further you go to the south of the cave, the colder it gets. In the far distance, it is even like the ground, with ice that has not melted for thousands of years, and many spiritual herbs that are suitable for growing in cold environments and are extremely rare in Yuqing Sea grow.

Every time the Jueling Island is opened, the Jindan cultivators of the Wentian Sect will specially collect spiritual herbs in addition to hunting fierce beasts.

Some people would even rather give up the rewards after passing the Ice and Fire Realm Trial and stay in the Ice and Fire Realm for two months just to collect spiritual herbs.

Zhenren Qingyou was not so extreme, but he also stayed in the Ice and Fire Realm for a month and found more than 20 eight-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs and three thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, which was a great harvest.

Chen Yuan did not do this. He was different from Zhenren Qingyou. Zhenren Qingyou only wanted to pass the first two trials and had plenty of time.

He had to pass three trials within two months and find Kunfeng to determine whether he had true spiritual blood in his body, so he could not delay.

However, although time was tight, Chen Yuan's escape speed was not fast. Instead, he spread his spiritual sense very cautiously, and the Yuan Alligator Armor was always hanging in front of him.

Wentian Sect could know the secrets of the cave, and other cultivators could also know them.

His opponents in the cave were not only fierce beasts.

…

When Chen Yuan entered the cave, Jing Shuhan was fighting with a fierce beast on the vast ice field.

The beast was snow-white, with a tiger head and a bear body, dragging an alligator tail, roaring and rushing towards Jing Shuhan, with bloodthirsty eyes.

Jing Shuhan waved his slender hand, and a few wisps of light smoke flew out of the yellow cauldron in front of him. They condensed in the cold wind and did not disperse, and entangled the limbs of the beast.

The beast had no intelligence and was not prepared for these thin wisps of light smoke. It continued to pounce on Jing Shuhan and let them entangle its limbs.

Jing Shuhan pinched his fingers, and a few wisps of light smoke suddenly pulled around, actually pulling the beast's body, tilting its body, and greatly reducing its forward momentum.

The beast was furious, opened its mouth and spit out a stream of cold air, freezing the wisps of light smoke into icicles, and then exerted force, the icicles broke into powder and broke free.

Jing Shuhan pointed at the yellow cauldron in front of him again, and more than a dozen wisps of light smoke shot out, entangled the beast's limbs.

The beast roared to the sky and spit out a stream of cold air, freezing all the flying light smoke, and even spreading to the yellow cauldron.

Jing Shuhan immediately pulled back, and at the same time, the yellow cauldron emitted a dozen wisps of light smoke that dissipated on their own, followed by another dozen wisps of light smoke.

The beast could only keep spitting out cold air to freeze the light smoke, and kept looking for opportunities to rush towards Jing Shuhan.

But the light smoke in the yellow cauldron seemed endless, and although the beast had no intelligence, it knew that it could not be locked by the light smoke again, and dared not rush towards Jing Shuhan under the blockade of the light smoke.

The two sides were deadlocked, and after half an hour, the beast could not bear to fight again and turned to retreat.

Jing Shuhan's beautiful eyes flashed, and a talisman appeared out of thin air in his palm.

This talisman was dark yellow in color, shabby in appearance, and did not emit any spiritual power. It was like a talisman drawn by a Taoist priest in the mortal world, specially used to fool ordinary people.

But after Jing Shuhan took out the talisman, her expression suddenly became serious. She bit her tongue and sprayed a large mouthful of blood on the talisman. She raised her hand and injected her true essence, and the dark yellow talisman glowed slightly.

At the same time, she pointed at the yellow tripod with her left hand, and dozens of wisps of light smoke flew out, condensing into a yellow smoke as thick as a child's arm, shooting at the beast.

The smoke was ethereal, but the speed was extremely fast. The beast had no time to retreat, so it had to turn around and deal with it, spitting out a thick cold air to freeze the smoke.

But the cold air that was always beneficial to the beast lost its effect. The yellow smoke still condensed in the cold air and did not dissipate, like a hard iron chain, shooting to the beast against the cold air, and then turned into a soft rope, wrapped around its right arm, locking it tightly.

The beast was shocked and angry, opened its bloody mouth, sprayed out a thick cold air that was as thick as a substance, wrapped around the yellow smoke, and pulled it back with force!

The yellow smoke was covered with a layer of white frost under the cold air, becoming much more fragile. After being pulled by the beast's huge force, it was tightly stretched, as if it would break in the next moment, and the yellow tripod in front of Jing Shuhan also trembled violently.

Jing Shuhan's pretty face turned pale, and it was obvious that the beast's move made her very uncomfortable.

She gritted her silver teeth and continued to inject true energy into the dark yellow talisman, letting the yellow tripod tremble endlessly.

The dark yellow talisman shone brightly and burned from bottom to top. A black long sword slowly condensed into shape, surrounded by a trace of blood light, and a murderous aura slowly spread out, even the wind and snow in the sky paused.

The beast instinctively felt that something was wrong and struggled hard. After a few breaths, the yellow smoke finally broke.

But at this time, the pitch-black long sword had completely condensed into shape. A trace of murderous intent flashed in Jing Shuhan's eyes. She raised her hand and pointed at the beast, and said softly with her red lips: "Kill!"

The pitch-black long sword flashed and slashed at the beast, just when it had just broken free from its restraints.

The beast had no time to dodge, so it could only raise its claws and block its chest.

Swish!

It was like a steel knife passing over a piece of white paper, and the pitch-black long sword directly cut the beast into two pieces!

A trace of blood invaded the beast's body, taking away its vitality.

The next moment, the two broken parts of the beast fell into the snow, and the pitch-black long sword also dissipated in the air.

Jing Shuhan's face was pale, a strand of blood flowed down the corner of her mouth, and a few strands of silver appeared between her black hair. Her body swayed and she almost fell from the air.

The dark yellow talisman in her hand had burned out, turning into a wisp of strange black and red smoke, drifting in the cold wind.

Jing Shuhan barely managed to stabilize her body, put away the yellow tripod, summoned a flying sword, cut off the crocodile tail behind the beast, and took a white inner pill from its remains into her hand, and put it away together with the crocodile tail.

After doing all this, she released a fireball, burned the remains of the beast to ashes, fled forward for several miles, and dropped the escape light.

This was an ordinary ice field. She raised her sleeves and flicked them. A gust of wind blew over, rolling up a pile of blood essence, revealing a piece of solid ice underneath, with a very light blue tinge.

Jing Shuhan breathed a sigh of relief, pointed her slender hand, and the flying sword fell, cutting a crack.

…

Thousands of miles away, somewhere in the ice field.

boom!

A majestic figure fell from the sky, like a falling star. The ice field seemed to tremble a few times, stirring up snow dust all over the sky.

After a while, the swirling snow dust fell, revealing an impatient Kun Feng.

He grabbed a person's neck with his left hand, looked down at the light blue ice beneath his feet, and snorted: "Finally found it."

What Kun Feng was holding in his hand was a young female cultivator with a curvy figure and good looks. Her clothes were torn, revealing a large area of ​​white and tender skin.

She half-opened her mouth, grabbed Kun Feng's palm with both hands, and pulled it down.

Tears ran down her cheeks, fell on the back of her white hands, then slid down her arms, dripping on the light blue ice, and were frozen into ice in an instant.

But Kun Feng's palms were as if they were made of iron, and her struggles were useless.

Kun Feng glanced at the female cultivator casually, raised his left hand, and bit down one of her arms!

"Ah! Uh-huh..."

The female cultivator screamed, and Kun Feng exerted force with his left hand. She was like a kitten being strangled by the neck, unable to make any sound.

Kun Feng suddenly frowned, threw the female cultivator aside, and said coldly: "It tastes really bad."

The female cultivator rolled twice and fell on the solid ice, gasping for air. Her facial features were extremely distorted by the severe pain, and her expression was in pain, mixed with the joy of surviving the disaster.

Kun Feng suddenly squatted down and punched him!

boom!

A big hole was made in the ice, and broken ice flew everywhere. Several pieces hit the female cultivator, and one of them hit the wound on her left arm and shoulder.

"Hiss..." She took a breath, but didn't dare to make a sound.

boom!

Kun Feng punched down again, shattered ice flew everywhere, and more ice cubes hit the female cultivator.

The female cultivator clenched her silver teeth, tears rolled down her cheeks, and she resisted the pain. She moved her body bit by bit on the solid ice, trying to stay as far away from Kun Feng as possible.

From the wound on the left shoulder, blood gurgled out, leaving a trail of blood on the solid ice. Under the cold wind, it soon turned into a thin layer of blood ice.

Her Dantian was blocked by Kun Feng using strange means. She was unable to mobilize her true energy, and even her golden elixir could not escape from her body. She was no different from a mortal.

Kun Feng seemed to have forgotten the existence of the female cultivator, and just punched the ice, making the hole deeper and deeper.

But the female cultivator did not dare to escape too far. She just moved to a range where the broken ice could not hit her, and then stopped.

With a thought in her mind, she took out a healing elixir from the mustard seed ring and swallowed it.

The demon power turned into a stream of heat and poured into the meridians. The bleeding from the wound on his left arm finally stopped and the pain was greatly relieved.

The female cultivator breathed a sigh of relief, and finally there was a trace of blood on her pale lips.

She lay on her back on the ground, not daring to stand up for fear of attracting Kun Feng's attention.

At this time, the sound of heavy fists hitting the solid ice suddenly stopped, and the only sound left in the female cultivator's ears was the whistling of the cold wind.

She held her breath subconsciously, her heart hanging.

Kun Feng's voice never sounded.

The female cultivator put her right hand on the solid ice, stood up with difficulty, and walked hesitantly to the pothole.

She looked down and saw that it was a pit more than ten feet deep, with a very thin layer of ice at the bottom, glowing with a faint blue light.

The female cultivator raised her remaining right hand, covered her lips, and cried with joy.

Kun Feng left and she survived.

boom!

At this moment, a figure broke through the layer of ice, flew up, and stopped in front of the female cultivator.

The female cultivator froze, slowly raised her head, widened her eyes, and stared blankly at Kun Feng who had left and returned.

Kun Feng lowered his head and said coldly: "I almost forgot, my father said that no one should know the existence of the cave."

He raised his hand and inserted it into the female cultivator's dantian, like inserting a piece of soft tofu, and then pulled it back, holding a golden elixir in his blood-stained hand.

Kun Feng threw the golden elixir into his mouth, chewed it twice, and swallowed it. There was a trace of satisfaction on his face: "The golden elixir is still more delicious."

After the words fell, his iron tower-like body sank, and he escaped into the bottomless blue pit again.

The female cultivator swayed and fell at the entrance of the cave. There was a look of horror on her face, and the last thought came to her heart: "He could actually take away my golden elixir..."

The heavy snow fell and soon buried everything, leaving only a pure white. (End of chapter)
