Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

Ziyang Mountains.

Ziyang Sect disciples will never forget the experiences of the past seven days.

Seven days ago, they were disciples of the largest sect in the Qi Kingdom. Although they were in constant conflict with Lingyun Sect, Tiangang Sword Sect, and Mingyin Valley, they did not have to worry about training resources. There were still disciples from Ten Thousand Beast Mountain and Guiyuan Sect to encourage them. Much respected by casual cultivators.

Even the foundation-building monks with higher cultivation levels did not dare to show the majesty of their seniors in front of them. They were greeted with only gentle smiles.

But now, everything has changed.

Overnight, Ziyang Sect collapsed.

The sect-protecting formation collapsed inexplicably, and the elders above the middle stage of pill formation died silently. As soon as they rushed out of the cave, they saw the Lingyun Sect monks flying over.

They had also resisted vigorously. After all, the number of Lingyun Sect monks who invaded was not large, so there was no hope of victory.

But Jin Luoheng and Zhuge Qi, two well-known late-stage alchemy monks in the Qi Kingdom, and Chen Yuan, the legendary elder who had lost his arm, made everyone lose their will to fight.

All the Danjie elders were killed in the battle, and most of the more than 500 foundation-building monks died. The Qi Refining disciples did not dare to resist anymore and returned to the cave obediently.

They don't want to die, they are extremely talented, they have just embarked on the path of cultivating immortals, and they have extraordinary potential.

Fortunately, Lingyun Sect did not kill them all. Not only the Qi Refining disciples, but also the Foundation Establishment monks all survived as long as they chose to surrender.

But they could not stay in the Ziyang Mountains. Under the escort of the Lingyun Sect monks, they boarded a giant boat flying to the Lingyun Sect.

Among them, there are two magic boats, which were obtained from the elders of Ziyang Sect and the treasure house.

Chen Yuan stood on the top of Ziyang Peak, looking at the three giant boats going away, and said, "Are these the last batch of Ziyang Sect disciples?"

Zhuge Qi replied: "Exactly, after the Ziyang Sect was defeated, Elder Su and Elder Wang worked day and night, going back and forth more than ten times, and finally escorted all the surviving Ziyang Sect monks back to the sect."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly: "Well done. The Qi Refining disciples of Ziyang Sect have not been in the school for a long time and have good talents. It is best to let them join the sect. It is not appropriate to treat them roughly, but they should not be too gentle."

"First put them into the spirit stone veins, mine the spirit stones, and monitor them at all times. If they complain, they will be killed immediately."

"Elder Wu, I leave this matter to you. Those who perform well will be given preferential treatment. You can decide the appropriateness."

"Yes." Wu Zexian agreed.

Chen Yuan pondered for a moment and then said: "The other foundation-building monks have a lot of cultivation, so they will be imprisoned for the time being to avoid chaos."

"Elder Dai, there must be those who are unhappy among them. Please find those who have been oppressed. If they are willing to surrender to our sect, they can be accepted into the sect and treated the same as the disciples of our sect."

A hint of joy flashed in Dai Qing's eyes, and he bowed deeply: "Senior...the Supreme Elder is so kind to me, Dai will never forget it!"

"You two should return to the mountain gate now and complete this matter as soon as possible. Guarding the Ziyang Sect disciples requires a lot of manpower."

The two of them agreed in unison, took up the Escape Light, caught up with the giant boat, and disappeared into the horizon.

Feng Ziyu's eyes fell on Dai Qing, his brows furrowed, and he clasped his fists and said, "Supreme Elder, our sect has just destroyed the Ziyang Sect, so we are asking Ziyang Sect disciples to join the sect. Isn't it a bit too hasty?"

Chen Yuan said calmly: "Elder Feng was overly concerned. Du Qing Du Kun is dead and the Ziyang Sect has disappeared. How many people are willing to be buried with it?"

"The monks are cold-natured and care about immortality. As long as our sect treats everyone equally, those Ziyang Sect disciples will not cause trouble. Even if there are a few people with evil intentions, it will be difficult for them to achieve anything."

Zhuge Qi agreed: "What the Supreme Elder said is absolutely true. There is also Dai Qingzhuyu in front of me. Our sect has a lot of gold and bones, and the monks in the middle stage of the Linking Pill can pardon me. Those foundation-building disciples should not be too resistant."

Feng Ziyu's expression softened slightly, but he still had some concerns: "But after all, the Ziyang Sect and our sect have been at odds for a long time. If you are unprepared..."

Chen Yuan said: "Elder Feng is mature and prudent. We must be careful. These Ziyang Sect monks cannot have babies."

Feng Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief: "The Supreme Elder is wise."

Chen Yuan smiled and looked at Zhuge Qi: "Have the Ziyang Sect's elixir garden, treasure house, scripture collection pavilion, weapon refining hall, talisman making pavilion, alchemy pavilion and other places been raided?"

Zhuge Qi replied: "All the cultivation resources of Ziyang Sect have been collected and counted. The number is extremely huge."

"The storage bag I brought from the mountain gate didn't have enough space, so I had to seal it and put it in a box like a mortal."

"Ninety percent of it was transported back to Shanmen, and the other 10% was kept."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly. There will be dozens of monks from the Lingyun Sect stationed in the Ziyang Mountains. After the situation in Qi's immortal world stabilizes, more disciples will come here to use this medium-sized spiritual vein to practice.

He said calmly: "The Ziyang Sect has been destroyed, and the whole sect is rejoicing. The sect cannot be stingy. The cultivation resources seized from the Ziyang Sect are so huge, and 50% will be returned to the treasure house."

"The other 50% will be taken out. From the elders of Danjie to the Qi Refining disciples, their years will be doubled. Those who have made outstanding achievements will be rewarded separately."

Everyone looked happy, bowed with fists in their hands, and praised him with words.

Chen Yuan was noncommittal, and when everyone stopped, he said to Jin Luoheng: "The Ziyang Mountains are far away from the mountain gate, so I ask Master to stay here. Ziyangfang City and Lingdang Mountain will also be handled by Master."

"Just leave it to my master."

Chen Yuan looked at Zhuge Qi again: "I will leave the clan for a few days. All matters in the clan will be handled by Elder Zhuge."

Zhuge Qi said solemnly: "I will definitely live up to the trust of the Grand Elder."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly, and without delay, he flew to the south with a flying light. He was so fast that he soon disappeared without a trace.

Zhuge Qi retracted his gaze, looked at Jin Luoheng, and smiled: "How many elders does Junior Brother Jin need?"

"Four people will do..." Jin Luoheng said the names of four Jindan elders.

Zhuge Qi nodded, led the remaining Jindan cultivators, and returned to the mountain gate.

For the first time in tens of thousands of years, the Ziyang Mountains became so quiet.

…

Chen Yuan left the Ziyang Mountains and flew all the way to the south of the Huanyue Mountains, where the ancient teleportation array was located.

This place is barren and desolate, with few people. The illusion array covered the entrance of the teleportation array. Sun Congyao was meditating in the cave and practicing, and did not notice Chen Yuan's arrival.

Chen Yuan took the initiative to show his figure and no longer concealed his breath. Sun Congyao suddenly woke up, rushed out of the cave, and flew into the sky.

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Brother, you don't have to be so alert."

Sun Congyao said seriously, "Junior brother entrusted this matter to me, so I will naturally do my best. I never let my guard down when I meditate and practice. How can you have time to come here? Come into the mansion and have a chat."

Chen Yuan nodded, dropped the escape light, and followed Sun Congyao into the cave.

The two sat down, and Sun Congyao asked about the Lingyun Sect. Chen Yuan told him about entering the Demon Realm, Xuanyuanzi's death, and the destruction of Ziyang Sect.

Sun Congyao was stunned, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. He was amazed: "I have only been away from the sect for a few years, and so many major events have happened in the sect. It's a pity that I have not been able to contribute to the sect..."

A trace of unwillingness flashed across his face, and Chen Yuan comforted him: "Brother, don't blame yourself. This formation is of vital importance. Senior brother, guarding the formation well is the greatest contribution to the sect."

Sun Congyao smiled bitterly: "Junior brother, don't comfort me. This formation has been destroyed for the most part. What use is it?"

Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "Although the formation is destroyed, it can still be repaired. When the time comes, senior brother will know what the use of this formation is."

Sun Congyao's face finally looked better, and he stopped asking more questions. The two chatted for a while, and Chen Yuan told him to guard the formation well before saying goodbye and leaving.

...

Chu State, Shaoyue Mountains.

A beam of light fell on the Yingke Peak, revealing the figure of an old man.

He walked quickly into the attic on the top of the mountain. A foundation-building disciple came up to him and bowed quickly: "Master uncle..."

"Where is Fellow Daoist Chen?" The old man interrupted him.

"In a quiet room on the third floor, Master Ruan is here in person."

"Lead the way."

The error-free version is reading! 6=9+Shu_bar first published this novel.

The foundation-building disciple did not dare to neglect and immediately led the old man to a quiet room on the third floor.

In the quiet room, a young monk was sitting at a square table, drinking tea with his head down.

A middle-aged monk stood aside, standing with his hands down, looking very respectful.

When he saw the old man coming here, he felt relieved and immediately came up to him and bowed: "Master uncle Zhang..."

The old man nodded slightly, came to the opposite side of the young monk, and bowed: "Fellow Daoist Chen has come from afar. I am sorry for not welcoming you. Please forgive me."

The young monk put down the teacup and raised his head. It was Chen Yuan.

He smiled slightly and returned the greeting with a bow: "Fellow Daoist Zhang, you are too kind. I am sorry to bother you by coming here uninvited."

Elder Zhang smiled and waved to the middle-aged monk. The middle-aged monk understood and bowed respectfully to Chen Yuan, bowed and left, and closed the door of the quiet room.

Elder Zhang lifted his lapel and sat down opposite Chen Yuan, apologetically: "According to the agreement between our sect and fellow Daoist Chen, fellow Daoist gave up that treasure in exchange for the eighth-level demon pill and the body-tempering spiritual grass."

"Logically speaking, our sect's thousand-year-old spiritual grass should be delivered to Lingyun Sect in person."

"But fellow Daoist also knows that our sect suffered heavy losses in the Demon Realm, and Senior Brother Gu... Hey, our sect urgently needs to recuperate, so we troubled fellow Daoist to make this trip..."

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "It's okay, it's just a few days of travel, it's nothing."

Elder Zhang smiled and said, "Knowing that fellow Daoist was coming to visit, I had already picked the Yunluo grass from the spiritual medicine garden, please take a look."

After saying that, he raised his sleeves and flicked, and a wooden box appeared on the table out of thin air.

Chen Yuan opened the wooden box, and inside was a white spiritual grass with four leaves and deep spiritual energy.

He spread out his spiritual sense, carefully checked it, and nodded slightly: "If I am not mistaken, this Yunluo grass is at least 1,500 years old. I am getting a bargain in this transaction."

The effect of Yunluo grass in tempering the body is much inferior to other thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, but it is mild in medicinal power and easy to absorb.

Elder Zhang smiled and said, "If it weren't for you, it's still unclear whether the Demon Realm can be wiped out. All the sects in Donghuazhou owe you a favor."

"I just happened to be there and I was brave. If it weren't for your sect's relics, I would have died in the hands of the Demon Lord..." Chen Yuan closed the lid of the box, "I wonder how the injury of Sect Leader Xuan is, has it improved?"

Elder Zhang sighed lightly, "The Sect Leader's injury has been contained, but he needs to rest for several years to fully recover. Fortunately, his origin is not damaged, and his cultivation will not be affected."

Chen Yuan put the wooden box into the mustard ring, thought about it, and said, "To be honest, I have something to ask for an audience with Sect Leader Daoxuan. I wonder if it's convenient?"

Elder Zhang was a little surprised: "What's the matter, fellow Daoist Chen, you might as well tell me directly. The Sect Leader is in seclusion to recover, so it may be a little inconvenient."

Chen Yuan pondered for a moment and said: "Your sect is inherited from the ancient Taixuan Sect. The Dongxu Mountain Secret Realm in Qi State seems to be related to the Taixuan Sect."

"I would like to ask Sect Master Daoxuan, what is the origin of this Taixuan Sect and what is the relationship between it and the Dongxu Mountain Secret Realm."

Elder Zhang suddenly realized: "So Daoyou is interested in the Dongxu Mountain Secret Realm. Daoyou does not need to ask the Sect Master about this matter. I can answer it."

"Oh? Please teach me."

Elder Zhang said: "The Dongxu Mountain Secret Realm is a spiritual medicine garden opened up by Taixuan Sect, but unfortunately it is blocked by the formation and cannot be entered."

"Your sect and several other sects in Qi State can send Qi-refining disciples to enter through the loopholes in the formation, but they can also That's all."

"Daoyou should know that our sect, Jiangxian Mountain, Zhiyuan Sect, and Baihe Sect have all tried to seize the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain, but all failed."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly: "I have heard about this matter, but I have always been puzzled. Even if the four major Xuan Sects join forces, they can't break the protective formation?"

Elder Zhang said; "Breaking the protective formation is not difficult, and Junior Brother Zhou is sure of it."

"But if the formation is broken by force, the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain will collapse, and the large spiritual veins and spiritual medicine gardens will all be destroyed, which is not worth the loss."

"Daoyou, don't try to seize the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain, otherwise it will be a waste of effort."

Chen Yuan was slightly stunned and smiled bitterly: "It seems that Chen is wishful thinking ... But I still want to know what the origin of Taixuan Sect is, why it disappeared, and whether there are any classics left. "

"Send disciples to enter the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain in the future, and find more spiritual herbs and treasures."

Elder Zhang frowned: "Only the head of the sect knows about the affairs of Taixuan Sect. I don't know much, and I'm afraid I can't help you."

Chen Yuan smiled: "It's okay, wait for the head of the sect to recover, and then I will visit him again."

Elder Zhang nodded, and his eyes suddenly flashed: "Wait, there is another person who knows Taixuan Sect as well as the head of the sect."

Chen Yuan's eyes lit up: "Please help me, fellow Taoist."

Elder Zhang explained: "Fellow Taoist also knows , the formation that sealed the Demon Realm was jointly set up by the ancient major sects, and the leader was the Taixuan Sect. "

"In order to curb the expansion of the Demon Realm, the head of the sect handed all the classics about the Taixuan Sect to Junior Brother Zhou and asked him to set up the formation."

"Junior Brother Zhou's understanding of the Taixuan Sect is not inferior to that of the head of the sect."

Chen Yuan's eyes lit up: "Can I ask Daoyou Zhou to give me some advice?"

Elder Zhang smiled and said: "Leave this matter to me. Daoyou Chen saved Bai Yanji's life and asked him to join forces with Daoyou Shen to destroy the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, giving him a lot of benefits. Junior Brother Zhou owes Daoyou a favor and will definitely not refuse."

Chen Yuan clasped his fists and bowed: "Then I'll have to trouble Daoyou." (End of this chapter)
