Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

In the square in front of Tongming Palace, as time went by, more and more cultivators were teleported here.

Wang Lin and Jing Shuhan teleported one after another, came to Ji Laogui, saluted respectfully, and said in unison: "Disciples greet Master!"

Ji Laogui opened his eyes, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes: "Good disciples, go to the side and rest."

"Yes." The two bowed again, stepped aside, and sat cross-legged in meditation.

Chen Yuan felt relieved. The two were safe and sound, and the possibility of success of the plan was a little greater.

Among the Jindan cultivators present, many people knew Wang Lin, and they were surprised to see him call Ji Laogui his master.

The body cultivator who was famous in Yuqinghai and the descendant of Kuixing Patriarch in the rumored world turned out to be Ji Laogui's disciple. Why did he hide his identity before?

And the eyes of Yunhe Taoist looking at Ji Laogui became much gloomier.

Apart from Chen Yuan and Patriarch Yuntian, who had known Wang Lin's identity for a long time, he was probably the only one present who knew Ji Laogui's intention.

The alchemy master Shen Yi, who was either very cunning or did not know about the Fulong Chizhen vine, had no reaction to this.

Three days before the opening of Tongming Palace, Qingliu Layman came here.

Chen Yuan did not dare to show his relationship with Qingliu Layman in front of Patriarch Yuntian, and did not come forward to pay his respects.

And Qingliu Layman seemed to understand Chen Yuan's thoughts. He just glanced at him, then walked to the side and sat cross-legged, took out a bamboo scroll, and lowered his head to read it.

After that, fewer and fewer cultivators were teleported to the square. Until the last day of the two-month period, there were five Yuanying cultivators and sixteen Jindan cultivators in front of Tongming Palace, scattered on the square, which seemed extremely empty.

Most of the Jindan cultivators entered Jueling Island for the spiritual herbs in the first two trials and the rewards in the Yibao Pavilion, and would not enter the Demonic Plain.

Most of the cultivators who can pass through the Demonic Plain are in the late Jindan stage. Chen Yuan, Wang Lin and Jing Shuhan can only be ranked at the bottom.

There is still half an hour before the Tongming Hall will be opened. Ji Laogui finally couldn't sit still.

He opened his eyes, bowed to the old ancestor Yuntian and others, and asked: "I wonder if you have seen fellow Taoist Wen in the Demonic Plain?"

Shen Yi smiled and said: "I have only encountered monsters along the way, and have never seen others."

Qingliu Layman looked away from the bamboo slips and shook his head slightly: "Is this fellow Taoist talking about the fellow Taoist with a white skeleton embroidered on the corner of his clothes? I have never seen him."

The old ancestor Yuntian and the Taoist Yunhe gave the same answer, and Ji Laogui frowned even more tightly.

Several Jindan cultivators lowered their eyes slightly, and a bit of satisfaction flashed in their eyes.

They all had friends who died at the hands of Wen Qingxiang, but they were not good enough to avenge themselves. Seeing that he failed to pass the trial, they were secretly happy.

The Nascent Soul cultivators entered the Absolute Spirit Island not for the magic cores of the magic beasts in the Demonic Origin.

They could not take revenge, but they were very happy to see Wen Qingxiang suffer a setback.

Half an hour passed quickly, and a bell sounded, coming from nowhere, ethereal and long, and lingering for a long time.

Chen Yuan opened his eyes. He had been resting with his eyes closed. After hearing the bell, he woke up immediately and stood up from the ground.

The tightly closed door of the Tongming Palace slowly opened to both sides, and the thick white fog on the edge of the square slowly dissipated.

Chen Yuan looked up and saw the same scene as he saw in front of the Tongtian Palace, with broken walls and ruins.

Everyone else stood up, and Ji Laogui shook his hand heavily and strode towards the Tongming Palace with a gloomy face.

Everyone could see that he was upset because Wen Qingxiang failed to pass the test.

"Follow me into the palace!" Ji Laogui took two steps and suddenly said coldly.

Wang Lin stood up and followed him expressionlessly.

Jing Shuhan glanced at Chen Yuan casually, followed closely, and the three of them walked into the Tongming Hall together.

Seeing this, Patriarch Yuntian also stood up and walked towards the Tongming Hall.

Chen Yuan did not wait for him to remind him, and stood up and followed, one step behind Patriarch Yuntian.

As the few people started, the other three Yuanying cultivators did not delay any longer, and stood up and walked towards the Tongming Hall.

The Jindan cultivators did not dare to overstep their boundaries and could only wait where they were.

Chen Yuan followed Patriarch Yuntian into this magnificent hall, and was immediately attracted by a stone statue.

The furnishings and decorations in the Tongming Hall were very similar to those in the Tongtian Hall. The only difference was that there were no two teleportation arrays in the depths of the hall, but a stone statue about ten feet high.

The material of the stone statue is the most common bluestone. It is carved with a young monk with a handsome face, a slight smile on his lips, wearing a blue shirt, standing with his hands behind his back, looking down at the people who walked into the hall with a gentle look.

In front of this stone statue, there is a square offering table with a copper incense burner on it, with light smoke and sandalwood curling around.

Next to the incense burner, more than 20 palm-sized jade tablets are lined up.

Ji Laogui walked to the offering table, clasped his hands together, and bowed deeply to this ordinary stone statue.

When he stood up, a jade tablet on the offering table slowly flew up and fell into Ji Laogui's hand. It was a Tongtian Order.

Wang Lin and Jing Shuhan also stepped forward and saluted respectfully. Two Tongtian Orders flew up from the offering table and fell into their hands.

After getting the Tongtian Order, the three turned around and left, walking out of the Tongming Hall.

Patriarch Yuntian came to the altar and bowed deeply to the stone statue. A Tongtian Order flew into his hand.

After Patriarch Yuntian bowed, Chen Yuan took a step forward and bowed deeply.

The next moment, a Tongtian Order flew up from the altar and fell into his hands.

Holding this Tongtian Order, a feeling of harmony rose from his heart. Chen Yuan had an illusion that this Tongtian Order seemed to be a part of his body and no one could take it away.

Suppressing this strange feeling, Chen Yuan followed the old man Yuntian and walked out of the Tongming Hall.

Taoist Yunhe, Shen Yi and Qingliu Layman all entered the hall, saluted in front of the stone statue in turn, and each took a Tongtian Order.

They did not have the airs of Yuanying cultivators at all, and no one dared to take the Tongtian Order on the altar directly.

At the beginning of the opening of Jueling Island, there were Yuanying cultivators who disrespected the stone statue and took the order without authorization. They all died without exception, died under the thunder.

Since then, no one dared to disrespect the stone statue. Even the great cultivators had to bow to the stone statue when they entered the Tongming Hall.

When Chen Yuan walked out of the Tongming Hall, the old ancestor Yuntian had already taken off and flew out of the square. Chen Yuan held the Tongtian Order tightly and followed him.

Only those who hold the Tongtian Order can enter the Jueling Island, which not only refers to participating in the three trials, but also refers to entering the real Jueling Island.

As long as the cultivators without the Tongtian Order leave this square, there will be thunder from the sky, which will directly kill them, just like those who disrespected the stone statues in the past.

No one knows where the thunder comes from. It seems that there is a pair of eyes watching everyone in the dark. As long as the rules of Jueling Island are violated, thunder will be punished. (End of this chapter)
