Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

He Zhenren nodded and said: "If the demonic energy is allowed to spread, the entire Donghua Continent will not be spared, but it will take at least hundreds or thousands of years."

"But the nine major sects will not sit still and wait for death. They are already setting up the second great formation, which is also improved from the ancient great formation to suppress the spread of demonic energy. They will then look for opportunities to go deep into the demonic realm, erase the source of the demonic energy, and eliminate this disaster."

Chen Yuan frowned: "According to what fellow Taoists said, the Demon Realm has existed for tens of thousands of years. Even the ancient monks with great supernatural powers could only set up a large formation to seal it off."

"Now that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is declining, we are far behind the ancient monks. How can we erase it?"

He Zhenren shook his head: "I won't hide it from my fellow Taoists. I don't know the inside story, but this matter is led by Tianxuan Sect."

"Among the nine major sects, this sect has the longest inheritance and the deepest foundation. It knows many ancient secrets. Since it dares to boast to Haikou, it should be quite confident."

"In my opinion, although the ancient monks were unable to destroy the Demon Realm, tens of thousands of years have passed and even the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has declined to this point. It is impossible to come to the Demon Realm without any loss."

"Gathering the power of the nine major sects, plus the help of many Yuanying Taoist friends, it may not be impossible to completely erase it."

Chen Yuan was slightly relieved. He had a low level of cultivation before and only heard the names of the four Xuanzongs. But this time after returning to Donghua Continent, he had a conversation with Tong Zhenren and gained a deeper understanding of the four Xuanzongs.

It is rumored that the founder of the Tianxuan Sect was from an ancient sect, an authentic Xuanmen sect, and inherited extremely mysterious techniques. For tens of thousands of years, he has been the leader of the righteous path, even more so than the Baihe Sect, Zhiyuanmen, and Jiangxianshan, which are all four major Xuanzongs. All are better.

Chen Yuan bowed his hands and said sincerely: "Thank you so much, fellow Taoist, for telling the truth. I only knew that there were such changes, so I won't be caught off guard."

He Zhenren stroked his beard and smiled: "Fellow Taoist is the supreme elder of Lingyun Sect. I am entrusted by Taoist friend Xuanyuan. How can I hide anything?"

"If my nephew Zhuge hadn't given birth to a baby yet, I would have told the truth already."

"However, there is an order in the sect not to disclose this matter to low-level monks. I can only give a brief reminder. After my fellow Taoist returns, I hope you will not spread it around."

Chen Yuan agreed: "This is a mature and prudent move. The demonic realm is expanding and the spiritual energy is exhausted. If it spreads, people in the world of cultivating immortals will feel panic and it will be difficult to maintain stability."

"But I have some friendship with Tong Zhen from the Jinwu Sect. He is also a Nascent Soul cultivator, but he doesn't know anything about the Demon Realm. Why is that?"

He Zhenren said in surprise: "Do you have an old relationship with fellow Taoist Tong? It's a coincidence that I and Tong Taoist have met several times before."

Chen Yuan was quite surprised, but it was reasonable considering that He Zhenren was already old and an elder of the White Crane Sect, so he had many contacts.

The two talked about Tong Zhenren's affairs, exchanged greetings, and their friendship became much closer.

He Zhenren explained: "The demonic realm must be wiped out, but the world of cultivating immortals cannot cause chaos."

"The four major Xuan Sects each sent several elders to regulate the formations and kill the monsters. The five major demon sects put their best efforts into doing so and had no time to care about others."

“Now the low-level monks are already having difficulty cultivating due to the depletion of their spiritual energy. If the matters about the Demon Realm are revealed at this time, if someone takes the opportunity to cause chaos, it will cause turmoil in the world of immortality.

"Only by slowly trying to contain the development of the Demon Realm, and then gradually revealing the matter, inviting other Nascent Soul cultivators, and eliminating this disaster in one fell swoop is the right thing to do."

Chen Yuan understood in his heart: "I understand, I will definitely keep my mouth shut after I go back."

The four major Xuanzongs have very thorough considerations. Most of the immortal cultivators are selfish. Even if they know that Donghua Continent will be exhausted and turned into a dead land, there will be many people who will take the opportunity to cause chaos regardless of the overall situation.

A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist. Anyway, if the sky falls, there will naturally be someone tall to hold it up.

The spiritual energy will not be exhausted immediately. It will take at least a few hundred years. Let's first take advantage of the nine major sects to plunder resources and improve their cultivation.

And the Nine Xuanzong's efforts to curb the expansion of the Demon Realm were not high-spirited.

They stand at the top of the world of immortal cultivation in Donghua Continent, control the most cultivation resources, and suppress all sects.

Donghuazhou's spiritual energy has dried up, and they have suffered the most. They must not tolerate the collapse of order in the world of immortality.

Faced with this kind of news that seemed like the end of the world, they naturally tried their best to block it and not let other Yuanying monks know about it, so as to avoid a fire in the backyard.

After controlling the spread of the evil spirit and then revealing the matter, other Yuanying monks saw that the nine major sects were still in control of the overall situation and did not dare to have any objections.

The reason why He Zhenren didn't hide it from Chen Yuan was because Xuan Yuanzi was in the Demon Realm and had been tied to the chariot of the nine sects.

For the sake of Xuan Yuanzi's safety, he could not leak the matter to other sects who stayed out of the matter.

He kept silent about the matters in the Demon Realm, and instead talked with Zhenren He about anecdotes in the world of immortality and exchanged his cultivation experiences.

He Zhenren is a monk in the early stage of Nascent Soul who has been practicing for many years. The exercises he practices are also mysterious and unusual. He has many unique insights in the practice.

Chen Yuan had many interactions with the Yuanying monks in Jiuxianzhou, and was quite inspiring to Master He.

The two sat and talked, and before they knew it, a day and a night passed, and then they stopped without knowing what they wanted to say.

Chen Yuan stood up to say goodbye. As he was leaving, he seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "Chen recently gave birth to a baby. He needs to refine his natal magic weapon again. He still lacks several spiritual materials. I would like to exchange knowledge with fellow Yuan Ying."

"Fellow Taoist is an elder of the sect and has a wide network of contacts. Do you have any connections?"

Master He smiled and said, "This is a simple matter. I still have some face in the sect, so I can help you to build a bridge on the front line." Chen Yuan clasped his fists and bowed, "Thank you, fellow Daoist. I owe you a favor."

Master He smiled even more: "Fellow Daoist, you can first list the spiritual materials you need and give them to me. If there is a result, I will inform you as soon as possible."

Chen Yuan understood and smiled, "I need fire fluorite, six-color crystal..."

He listed eleven spiritual materials in a row. Master He was stunned for a moment and frowned, "The spiritual materials you need are of many types and quite rare."

"Half of the elders of our sect went to the Demon Realm. Most of the elders who stayed behind in the sect are in the early stage of the Nascent Soul. Even if they can come up with such spiritual materials, the spiritual stones they need will not be few. I hope you will be prepared."

Chen Yuan's eyes flashed. He saw what Master He was thinking. He should want to take the opportunity of matchmaking to earn some spiritual stones.

This is reasonable. As long as he doesn't eat too much, Chen Yuan doesn't mind taking out a few more spiritual stones.

He smiled and said, "These eleven spiritual materials are not only for refining my life magic weapon, but also for strengthening the sect protection formation. It's indeed a bit too much."

"But before I left the sect, I had taken out all the top-grade spiritual stones in the sect's treasury. I can also exchange them. I will never let your elders suffer."

When he said "top-grade spiritual stones", he emphasized the words.

Elder He smiled even more: "At the latest, I will give you a result within seven days."

"Then I'll leave it to you." Chen Yuan bowed with his fists.

Master He personally sent him out of the cave and told Linghe: "Send you to Linghe Hall. Let nephew Xie arrange a cave for you and entertain you well."

"I understand." Linghe responded softly, and his slender neck bowed slightly.

Chen Yuan followed Linghe and flew out of the mountain gate of Baihe Sect. When he passed through the protective formation, Baihe opened his mouth and spit out a token, which shot out a clear light, and a passage appeared on the formation.

One person and one crane came to Dongling Market. When the cultivators saw Linghe flying through the air, they all showed a bit of awe.

Dongling Market, like other large and medium-sized markets, also prohibits flying.

Chen Yuan and Linghe flying in the air must be Linghe raised by Yuanying cultivators and elders of Baihe Sect.

A foundation-building cultivator from Baihe Sect came up to ask, Linghe showed the token, and the foundation-building cultivator was very respectful and personally led the way, and the escape light fell in front of Linghe Hall.

The middle-aged cultivator was waiting in the hall on the first floor. When he saw Chen Yuan, he immediately went out to greet him.

Linghe told Master He's instructions, and the middle-aged cultivator immediately agreed. After Linghe left, he personally led Chen Yuan to a peak on the edge of Dongling Mountains.

There are only three caves on this mountain, which are specially for Yuanying cultivators to live in. They do not accept any spiritual stones, but the spiritual energy is a little thin, only equivalent to a small spiritual vein.

The two came to a cave on the mountainside. The middle-aged cultivator handed the token that controlled the formation to Chen Yuan and said goodbye and left.

Chen Yuan came to the practice room and sat cross-legged, but he could not enter into meditation for a long time. His brows were furrowed and his thoughts were flowing.

Donghuazhou is in danger of spiritual energy depletion. If this matter is leaked, it will definitely cause chaos in the world of cultivation.

Although the nine major sects have set up a large formation to curb the expansion of the demon domain, it is still uncertain whether the source of the demon energy can be wiped out. It is necessary to prepare for a rainy day and make preparations early.

Fortunately, he still has a way out. As long as the ancient teleportation array is repaired, he can avoid this disaster.

Originally, he still had some concerns. Perhaps the four major Xuan sects also knew the method of repairing the ancient teleportation array and wanted to secretly collect spiritual materials.

But after learning about this, he didn't bother to hide it and directly asked Master He to buy spiritual materials.

The Jiuxianzhou cultivation world is far more prosperous than Donghuazhou, and only Wanling Pavilion has the inheritance of the repair method. The probability of the four major Xuanzongs having this inheritance is very small.

Moreover, among the eleven spiritual materials listed by Chen Yuan, they can all be used to refine magic weapons. The lack of the most critical ones is difficult to be seen by others. It is to prepare for the repair of the ancient teleportation array.

But the remaining spiritual materials are relatively precious, and they must be collected as soon as possible to complete the repair of the ancient teleportation array.

If the nine major sects can destroy the Demon Realm, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth will no longer be exhausted, which is naturally the best.

If the nine major sects fail, the demonic energy continues to spread, and they can also return to Jiuxianzhou through the ancient teleportation array.

Chen Yuan has made up his mind, calmed down, and calmed his mind and entered into meditation.

The next day, Chen Yuan entered the market and spent two days to visit the shops selling spiritual materials and magic weapons, but found nothing.

On the fourth day, a foundation-building cultivator came to Chen Yuan's cave, saying that He Zhenren wanted to see him.

Chen Yuan followed the foundation-building cultivator, entered the White Crane Sect's mountain gate, and came to He Zhenren's cave.

The two sat down as host and guest, and He Zhenren stroked his beard and smiled: "In the past few days, I have been running around and visiting several elders of our sect. Finally, I have lived up to their expectations and found the five spiritual materials needed by fellow Taoists." (End of this chapter)
