Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

The two of them were worried, but in front of Jin Luoheng, they couldn't express what they were worried about, so they could only remain silent.

But Zhuge Qi didn't have so many worries and whispered: "We must be prepared. If we are the Supreme Elder... In short, we must not take it lightly. Everything must be based on the inheritance of the sect."

The expressions of Wu Zexian and the white-haired old man changed slightly, and they both looked at Jin Luoheng.

Although Zhuge Qi took control of the Lingyun Sect after Chen Yuan left the sect, Jin Luoheng took charge of the Law Enforcement Pavilion and gained increasing influence in the sect, gradually forming a rivalry with Zhuge Qi.

He is also Master Chen Yuan, with a transcendent status. Even Zhuge Qi is respectful and has never refuted his opinions.

Jin Luoheng pondered for a moment and nodded slowly: "What Senior Brother Zhuge said is absolutely true. Our sect suppressed Ziyang Sect, Wanshou Mountain, and Guiyuan Sect, and has deep grudges with the three sects."

"If our sect encounters a major change, they will definitely add insult to injury, so we must be on guard."

"In my opinion, we should immediately arrange for the elite disciples in the sect to evacuate Qi State and go to a pre-arranged hiding place."

"One third of the spiritual stones, spiritual herbs, spiritual materials and elixirs in the sect's treasury will also be taken away."

Wu Zexian and the white-haired old man felt relieved. As long as Jin Luoheng agreed, the matter could be arranged immediately.

Zhuge Qi cupped his fists and bowed: "I also ask Junior Brother Jin to take his disciples to evacuate Qi State, and announce to the outside world that he will practice in seclusion to prepare for the birth of a baby. I will sit in the gate and watch what happens."

Jin Luoheng shook his head: "I am in charge of the Law Enforcement Pavilion. If I disappear suddenly, it will definitely cause turmoil among the disciples in the sect."

He turned to look at Wu Zexian and the white-haired old man: "Senior Brother Zhuge should not move lightly. Junior Brother Wu and Senior Brother Feng, please lead the elite disciples in the sect and evacuate Qi State."

The two of them were shocked. The white-haired old man glanced at Zhuge Qi and said hesitantly: "This seems a little inappropriate..."

His name was Feng Ziyu, and like Zhuge Qi and Chu Guangkai, he was a disciple of Xuan Yuanzi and had very high qualifications.

But his cultivation level is not high, and his cultivation level has been stuck at the early stage of pill formation.

In the past few years, the Lingyun Sect obtained a share of the Ziyang Sect's Yuyang Mountain mineral veins, and continuously suppressed the Ziyang Sect, gaining a lot of training resources. Only then did he take advantage of this opportunity and break through the bottleneck in the mid-term.

However, he only lived for more than forty years, had no hope of conceiving a baby, and was far away from the late stage of pill formation, so he simply concentrated on assisting Zhuge Qi and handling sect affairs.

Zhuge Qi said flatly: "That's it. Without further ado, Junior Brother Jin and I will personally take stock of the sect's treasure house."

"Junior Brother Wu, please use the name of the Law Enforcement Pavilion to call back the elite disciples who have been training and performing tasks outside. But do not do it too hastily, so as not to arouse suspicion. Do not set out again after seven days."

"Senior Brother Feng takes the first step to investigate the two inheritance places disguised as small families to prepare for the evacuation of the elite disciples."

"Leave this matter to my brother." Feng Ziyu agreed immediately.

Wu Zexian also clasped his fists and bowed, and then the two stood up and left, walking out of the hall.

Jin Luoheng and Zhuge Qi looked at each other with solemn expressions.

Seven days later, the four of them gathered together again in Lingyun Palace.

Wu Zexian said: "Senior Brother Zhuge and Senior Brother Jin have recalled a total of sixty-nine elite disciples, including twenty-five foundation-building disciples and forty-four Qi-refining disciples. They are now in the Law Enforcement Pavilion and can leave at any time."

"There are still six foundation-building disciples who left the sect alone to practice and have not been heard from for a while."

Zhuge Qi nodded slightly: "Junior Brother Wu, thank you for your hard work. Junior Brother Jin and I have finished counting the sect's treasure house and took out one-third of the various treasures and put them in these six storage bags. You and Senior Brother Feng have three of them each." "Put it away properly and don't lose it."

As he spoke, he pointed at the six storage bags in front of him. Each one was exquisite and exquisite. They were all commonly used by pill-forming monks. The space they contained was at least several feet in diameter.

Wu Zexian and Feng Ziyu looked serious, each picked up three storage bags and put them in their arms.

Jin Luoheng said: "You should set off now. Follow the established route, disguise your identity, stay up day and night, and be careful."

"Yes." Wu Zexian cupped his fists and bowed.

A trace of worry flashed in Feng Ziyu's eyes: "You two junior brothers must also be careful. If things are not harmonious, evacuate the sect immediately. You are the hope of this sect. As long as you form a Nascent Soul, you will always make a comeback. "

Zhuge Qi smiled and said: "Senior Brother Feng is serious. He asked the elite disciples to evacuate just as a precaution. The Taishang Elder's life lantern is intact as before. As long as he returns to the sect, we will only have a false alarm. You and Junior Brother Wu will also return to the sect.”

Feng Ziyu sighed: "Brother, I hope it's just a false alarm, but the real leader has already died. Although the Taishang Elder is strong, after all, he has only had a baby for a long time, and he only has the early stage of Nascent Soul. I'm afraid... ah... "

He hadn't finished speaking, but the atmosphere in the palace had already become heavy.

Zhuge Qi suddenly smiled: "It's useless to talk more. We are of low cultivation, so we can only do human affairs, obey the destiny, fulfill our duties loyally, and protect the sect. The Supreme Elder is so powerful that he can definitely turn danger into safety."

Jin Luoheng said lightly: "The road to cultivating immortality is to go against the will of heaven. It is naturally best for Chen Yuan to be safe and sound and return to the sect."

"If something unexpected happens to him, we should put the survival of the sect first and look for an opportunity to have a baby to avenge Chen Yuan and the master."

Feng Ziyu and Wu Zexian looked at each other, forced a smile, stood up, turned around and walked out of the hall.

But as soon as they took a few steps, they suddenly stopped and looked at the door of Lingyun Palace. They actually stayed in place.

Zhuge Qi and Jin Luoheng noticed the two people's strange behavior, followed their gaze, looked over, and were also stunned.

A figure walked slowly into Lingyun Hall, with white clothes as white as snow, and black hair simply tied together and scattered on his shoulders, like a wild man in the mortal world who was not bound by etiquette, with sword-like eyebrows, eyes like stars, and a smile on his lips. It was Chen Yuan.

Wu Zexian reacted the fastest, stepped forward quickly, and bowed deeply: "Greetings to the Supreme Elder!"

Feng Ziyu followed closely behind, clasped his fists and bowed: "Greetings to the Supreme Elder!"

Zhuge Qi stood up and saluted solemnly: "Welcome the Supreme Elder back to the sect."

Jin Luoheng also stood up slowly, but did not salute. He just looked at Chen Yuan, breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled.

In the world of immortal cultivation, there is no reason for a master to salute his apprentice.

Chen Yuan nodded slightly, walked slowly to Jin Luoheng, clasped his fists and bowed: "Disciple greets Master."

Jin Luoheng then stood up and helped Chen Yuan up: "No need to be polite, in Lingyun Hall, you are the Supreme Elder, no need to be polite to each other."

Chen Yuan then stood up and turned to look at Zhuge Qi and the other two: "Just now I heard outside the hall that Elder Wu and Elder Feng are going to lead the elite disciples to leave the sect?"

The three of them showed a trace of embarrassment on their faces, and Zhuge Qi looked sad: "Master's natal Yuan lamp It suddenly went out, and we were worried about the Grand Elder..."

"So we decided to let Senior Brother Feng and Junior Brother Wu lead the elite disciples in the sect to evacuate the sect just in case, but the Grand Elder has already returned to the sect, so there is no need to do this."

He turned to look at Wu Zexian: "Junior Brother Wu, please disperse the disciples gathered in the Law Enforcement Pavilion. If anyone fails in the mission or suffers losses because of this, the sect should compensate them as appropriate."

"I'll do it now." Wu Zexian nodded and was about to turn around and leave.

Chen Yuan raised his hand to stop him: "Wait a minute, Elder Wu, this matter is not urgent for the time being. You and Elder Feng should go and invite all the elders who remain in the sect. I have something to announce."

"Yes." Wu Zexian and Feng Ziyu immediately agreed and turned around and walked out of the hall.

Zhuge Qi's heart moved, and he asked: "May I ask the Grand Elder, is it related to the Master's death?"

Chen Yuan sighed lightly and nodded slightly: "Yes, please wait for a moment, Elder Zhuge, I will tell you the whole story later."

Zhuge Qi nodded lightly, with a trace of sadness in his eyes.

After a while, a Jindan elder walked into Lingyun Hall, hurriedly, and saw Chen Yuan, and saluted respectfully: "Welcome the Grand Elder out of retreat!"

Chen Yuan nodded slightly, and he consciously stood aside with his hands folded.

One after another, Jindan cultivators walked into the hall, all of them were very respectful, welcoming Chen Yuan out of retreat.

Only Jin Luoheng and Zhuge Qi knew that Chen Yuan had left the sect. The other Jindan elders thought that Chen Yuan was in retreat in the sect, and even thought that the martial law in the past few days was Chen Yuan's order.

Even Wu Zexian and Feng Ziyu only knew that Chen Yuan had quietly left the sect after Xuan Yuanzi's natal Yuan lamp went out.

Half an hour later, eleven cultivators gathered in Lingyun Hall, including Feng Ziyu and Wu Zexian, who entered the hall last, as well as Jin Luoheng and Zhuge Qi, and fifteen Jindan elders who stayed at the mountain gate.

In addition, there were five Jindan elders who were stationed in Yuyang Mountain Mine, Lingyun Market, Lingshi Mine and other places, and Sun Congyao who was guarding the ancient teleportation array for Chen Yuan. Most of the twenty-one Jindan cultivators of Lingyun Sect gathered here.

Chen Yuan got straight to the point: "All the elders should want to know where the master has been in the past twenty years..."

He briefly introduced the origin of the Demon Realm, and briefly told how he was invited by Tianxuan Sect to leave the sect, enter the Demon Realm with Yuanying cultivators from various sects, kill the Demon Lord, and destroy the source of the demonic energy.

But he did not reveal the fact that he had fought against the Demon Lord, and attributed all the credit to several great monks, as if he was just lucky and survived a fight with an eighth-level monster.

There was a dead silence in Lingyun Hall, and everyone was in a trance, as if they were in a dream.

The Demon Realm that had been sealed by the ancient monks for tens of thousands of years was broken, and the entire Donghua Continent was about to become a Jedi. The Demon Sect invaded the south, and the six sects of Qi State left their hometown...

The nine major sects joined forces to set up two ancient formations, and seven great monks led dozens of Yuanying monks into the Demon Realm...

The formation master betrayed the sect, the Tianxuan Sect's great monk Gu Zuo betrayed his master and destroyed his ancestors, Daoxuan was seriously injured, and more than 30 Yuanying monks died...

For these Jindan monks, everything Chen Yuan said was like a fairy tale, so unbelievable.

But all this was said by the Supreme Elder, and no one dared not to believe it.

Finally, Chen Yuan took out a coffin made of a hundred-year-old spiritual wood and whispered, "The master blocked the attack of the demon for me, but unfortunately he died."

"Fortunately, the demon has been beheaded by the White Crane Sect's Sect Master Wei, which is enough to comfort the spirit of the master in heaven. I have brought the master's body back to the sect..."

Xuan Yuanzi's eyes were closed, lying in the coffin, his face was ruddy, his expression was peaceful, and there was even a hint of smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was sleeping soundly.

Seeing Xuan Yuanzi's corpse, everyone came back to their senses from the trance, staring at Xuan Yuanzi's face, with a sad expression.

Xuan Yuanzi protected Lingyun Sect for hundreds of years, promoted the younger generation, and was quite fair in his dealings. Although the disciples of the loose cultivator lineage were sometimes suppressed, it was a stubborn disease of the sect, not Xuan Yuanzi's fault.

All the elders in the sect had been instructed and cared for by Xuan Yuanzi, and they were all very sad when they heard the news of his death today.

Although Zhuge Qi and Feng Ziyu had known about this for a long time, they still couldn't hide the grief in their hearts and their eyes were red after seeing Xuan Yuanzi's body.

But this is the limit. Immortal cultivators have long been accustomed to seeing separation between life and death. Even if their master dies, they will not be too sad.

Chen Yuan cupped his fists and bowed to Xuan Yuanzi, and everyone followed him.

After three bows, Chen Yuan straightened up and said: "Elder Zhuge, please bury the body of the master in a proper way and enshrine the soul of the master in the temple of the ancestors."

"Yes." Zhuge Qi responded, raised his sleeves and put the coffin into the storage bag.

The atmosphere became even heavier. Chen Yuan looked solemn and changed the subject: "The master's real person was killed, and the clan should have been put in charge. But before that, there is one more thing to do."

Zhuge Qi was startled, cupped his hands and said, "Please tell me, the Supreme Elder."

Chen Yuandao: "On this trip to the Demon Realm, in addition to the misfortune of the master, Du Qing, the head of the Ziyang Sect, Du Kun, the supreme elder, and Ling Mo, the master of Wanshou Mountain, all died in the Demon Realm."

"The Ziyang Sect has always been domineering, oppressing monks from all sects, and torturing casual cultivators. Such a cancer should be eradicated!"

"I have reached an agreement with the leader of the Tiangang Sword Sect Shen, and the leader Bai of the Guiyuan Sect has also decided to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side. The three sects will join forces to clear out the filth and restore a bright and clear sky to the world of immortal cultivation in Qi!"

Chen Yuan paused for a moment, and his eyes slowly swept across the crowd. Everyone had temporarily put aside the death of Xuan Yuanzi, and their eyes widened. Even Zhuge Qi and Feng Ziyu were surprised.

Du Qing, Du Kun, and Ling Mo all died, and the world of immortality in Qi was about to change!

Chen Yuan added: "The Ten Thousand Beast Mountains will be dealt with jointly by the Tiangang Sword Sect and the Guiyuan Sect, while the Ziyang Sect will be attacked by our own sect alone."

"When Du Qing Du Kun dies and his natal lantern is extinguished, the elders of the Ziyang Sect will definitely be in a state of panic and will transfer their cultivation resources and elite disciples at any time. Don't waste time."

"Elders, go back and rest for the night, summon all the foundation-building disciples in the sect, and rush to the Ziyang Mountains at noon tomorrow."

"yes!"

"I will obey the order of the Supreme Elder."

Everyone agreed one after another, but their expressions were different, and their eyes were even more hesitant, as if they had a lot of concerns.

Zhuge Qi hesitated for a moment, clasped his fists and asked: "Tai Shang Elder, in the past few years, the Mingyin Valley has joined forces with our sect and the Tiangang Sword Sect to suppress the Ziyang Sect. There is a tacit understanding. Why not join forces with the Mingyin Valley this time? ?”

"Headmaster of Ningyin Valley Di also died in the Demon Realm." Chen Yuan said calmly.

Everyone's expressions changed slightly, and they truly felt the cruelty of the battle in the Demon Realm.

All eight Nascent Soul cultivators from Qi State entered the Demonic Realm, but only three came back alive.

What they didn't know was that if Chen Yuan hadn't deliberately led the Demon Lord to attack Du Kun and Du Qing, it would not have been impossible for the two of them to survive given their strength.

As for Ling Mo and the leaders of Ming Yin Gu Di, it was just bad luck.

Headmaster Di was dead, so Zhuge Qi stopped asking any more questions.

Without the Nascent Soul cultivator, Ningyin Valley would not be qualified to participate in this battle to destroy the sect.

The Lingyun Sect and the Tiangang Sword Sect did not come back to cause trouble in the Netherworld Valley. They were already very moral.

At this time, Chen Yuan took out a blank jade slip and left the imprint of his spiritual consciousness, saying, "Elder Zhuge, you left the seal of the leader on this jade slip."

He turned to look at a monk in the early stage of pill formation: "Elder Tang, take this jade slip to the Yuyang Mountain mine later, tell Elder Chu to suspend mining, gather the disciples of our sect, and unite Tiangang Sword Sect and Guiyuan The monks of the sect will also receive orders from the sect to eliminate the disciples of the Ziyang Sect and Wanshou Mountain and take over the mines of Yuyang Mountain."

"Yes!" Elder Tang stepped out from the crowd and responded with clasped fists.

Zhuge Qi also bowed his hands in agreement and said: "Unfortunately, my master died. Zhuge is in charge of the master's seal again. His name is unjust and unjust. He also asked the Supreme Elder to take over the position of master and personally hold the master's seal!"

As he spoke, he turned over his hand and took out a jade pendant engraved with cloud patterns, and presented it with both hands.

When everyone saw this, they immediately echoed: "Please ask the Supreme Elder to take over the position of leader!"

"The death of the real leader will definitely cause turmoil in the sect. I would like to ask the Supreme Elder to take over the position of leader in order to calm the hearts of the people in the sect!"

Only Jin Luoheng remained silent and just looked at Chen Yuan with a smile.

He knew that Chen Yuan had his own plans and no one could interfere.

Chen Yuan raised his hand, took the cloud pattern jade pendant into his hand, and said lightly: "I will accept the seal of the leader, but the top priority is to attack Ziyang. The position of the leader will be discussed later."

"You go quickly to prepare, summon the disciples in the sect, and discuss the candidates who will stay in the sect. Don't waste the time."

Zhuge Qi was a little surprised, but did not persuade him.

Everyone did not dare to waste any more time. After bowing with fists in their hands, they turned around and walked out of the hall quickly.

Chen Yuan left the leader's seal on the jade slip and handed it to Elder Tang. The latter bowed respectfully and turned to leave.

Only Chen Yuan, Zhuge Qi, and Jin Luoheng were left in the hall. Zhuge Qi had not left for a long time, looking at Chen Yuan as if he was hesitant to speak.

After everyone left, Chen Yuan asked, "Elder Zhuge, is there anything else?"

Zhuge Qi hesitated for a moment and said, "Supreme Elder, the death of Du Qing Du Kun is indeed a great opportunity to attack the Ziyang Sect."

"But the Zixu Sword is still enshrined in the Ziyang Sect's Patriarch's Palace. If we attack blindly, leading the elders of the Ziyang Sect to sacrifice their souls and bodies, use the Zixu Sword, and rely on the sect-protecting formation to resist, it may be difficult to win for a while."

"Why not first ask Master Shen and Master Bai to attack Ziyang Sect together, and then deal with Ten Thousand Beast Mountain?"

He said it very euphemistically, but in fact he was extremely worried.

The Purple Void Sword is a top-level magic weapon. Under the sword is the soul of a Nascent Soul cultivator. It is the foundation of the Ziyang Sect's standing in the Qi Kingdom's immortal cultivation world for tens of thousands of years.

Chen Yuan is only a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stage. Even if he is a physical cultivator and once cut off the arm of Taoist Du Kun, he is very powerful, but he is probably not enough in front of the top-level magic weapon.

Now he takes the initiative to kill him, isn't it courting death?

But Chen Yuan didn't seem to hear Zhuge Qi's hidden meaning, and smiled and said: "Elder Zhuge is right, but I have my own plans. The Purple Void Sword is not a concern. You go and prepare, don't miss the time."

Zhuge Qi's face changed slightly, and he wanted to persuade him again, but facing Chen Yuan's gaze, he didn't know why, but couldn't open his mouth, nodded, turned around and left, and walked out of the hall.

Jin Luoheng said, "Master has also gone to prepare. You just returned to the sect, so you should adjust your breath. Tomorrow will definitely be a tough battle."

"Master, take care."

Jin Luoheng left Lingyun Hall, but Zhuge Qi did not leave. He was suspended in the air and came to greet him.

Jin Luoheng said, "What's the matter, Elder Zhuge?"

Zhuge Qi clasped his fists and bowed, his voice a little hurried: "Brother Jin, please advise the Grand Elder. The Purple Void Sword is extremely sharp and difficult to deal with."

"The matter of attacking Ziyang Sect needs to be considered in the long run. At least we have to join forces with Tiangang Sword Sect and Guiyuan Sect..."

"Don't worry, Elder Zhuge." Jin Luoheng interrupted, "Jin knows Chen Yuan. He is cautious by nature and will never do anything he is not sure of."

"Since he has decided to deal with Ziyang Sect alone, there must be a way. We don't have to worry."

Zhuge Qi was stunned, and Jin Luoheng had already flown away.

He stopped in the distance, looked back at Lingyun Hall, his expression changed, and suddenly he sighed, shook his head, and turned to leave.

...

Eastern Qi State.

The Ziyang Mountains, which stretch for more than a hundred miles, are majestic, with towering peaks connecting to the blue sky.

A layer of lavender curtains covered the gate of Ziyang Sect, and the sky was full of escaping lights. Everyone looked serious, as if they were facing a great enemy.

At the edge of the mountain range, two foundation-building monks flew across the sky together, spreading their spiritual consciousness and carefully scanning the mountains and forests below.

One of the tall and thin monks complained in a low voice: "We have been patrolling for six consecutive days, and we haven't seen a single figure. What is Elder Luo crazy about? He asked our disciples of the Talisman Making Pavilion to patrol the mountain gate?"

Another young monk was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly looked around: "Silence! Disrespecting the elders is a serious crime!"

The tall and thin monk curled his lips: "Brother Wang, what are you afraid of? Elder Luo only wants to study the art of talisman making. He must have returned to the cave now."

"Even if he is conscientious, we are more than 30 miles away from the mountain gate. Elder Luo's cultivation level is in the early stage of Jindan, and his spiritual consciousness cannot cover such a distance."

The young monk's expression eased a little, but he still snorted coldly, raised his hand and pointed upwards: "The sect is facing a great enemy, and even our disciples of the Talisman Making Pavilion have been sent out."

"I don't know how many elders are patrolling above our heads. If you don't want to cause trouble, you'd better be careful."

The tall and thin monk raised his hand and glanced at the sky. The sky was clear and the white clouds were leisurely.

But he seemed to see a pair of cold eyes, through the thick clouds, falling on him.

He trembled all over, and dared not complain about the elders anymore, but he still muttered: "Lingyun Sect has not troubled our Ziyang Sect for several months, and even if they do, they will not come to the mountain gate to make trouble, why bother so much..."

The young monk ignored him, and the tall monk was bored and closed his mouth.

Suddenly, he stopped, widened his eyes, opened his mouth slightly, and looked into the distance.

The young monk was startled, followed his gaze, and his face changed drastically.

I saw hundreds of escape lights surrounding a huge boat, flying from the horizon, with a surging momentum and as fast as a meteor, only a few dozen miles away from the Ziyang Mountains.

The young monk immediately turned around and flew back to the mountain gate, saying anxiously: "Why are you still standing there, hurry back to the mountain gate, there are enemies coming!" (End of this chapter)
