Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

Xuanli Realm, Tushan City.

Overnight, Chen Yuan had already reviewed the jade slips sent by the dragonmen under Wang Xuan Yue's command, and his understanding of the Xuan Li Realm had become increasingly profound.

These jade slips are treasured books in Cangnan, and many of the things recorded in them are secrets that ordinary dragon people have no way of knowing.

According to ancient records, the ancestors of the dragon people arrived in the Xuanli Realm about 600,000 years ago, but how exactly they arrived is unknown.

From then on, the ancestors of the dragon people thrived and multiplied under the protection of the true dragon.

But tens of thousands of years later, the true dragon suddenly disappeared, and the dragon people split into many tribes. They once plotted to seize the true dragon's cave and fought and fought each other. Until today, as the dragon energy has thinned, they have gradually declined.

Whether the true dragon was present, disappeared, or when cultivators of the Heavenly Realm joined forces to attack the True Dragon Cave Formation, there was no description of the formation spirit.

Chen Yuan could finally relax. Shen Yu Yao Shuai's guess was wrong; the Xuanli Realm Array should not have any array spirit.

Chen Yuan had been worried about this matter, having personally witnessed the methods of the green-robed array spirit on Tongtian Island.

Even though Tongtian Island is in ruins and the power of the great formation is no longer what it used to be, the green-robed formation spirit can still control the entire Tongtian Island, and no one can contend with it.

If the Xuanli Realm Grand Array also has a spirit, no matter how many demon generals and Nascent Soul cultivators there are, they will be no match for it and will be at the mercy of others.

Chen Yuan had also considered that the Xuanli Realm Array might have a spirit, but it had never shown itself.

But after careful consideration, he rejected the idea.

Since that true dragon has set up a great formation to protect the entire Xuanli Realm, it will certainly not allow external enemies to invade.

The dragon people cannot damage the True Dragon Cave Formation and the Dragon Breath Platform; the formation spirit may not care.

However, if there is a formation spirit present when Chen Yuan and the other demon generals enter the Xuanli Realm, they certainly will not remain indifferent.

Of course, this might be because Chen Yuan and the others did not destroy the Dragon Breath Platform, and the True Dragon has certain restrictions on the Spirit, and cannot kill people at will.

However, among the hundred or so demon generals, there must be some with cruel personalities who will target Dragon Breath Platform.

The next step is to find a demon general who survived after destroying the Dragon Breath Platform, and then we can verify whether Chen Yuan's guess is accurate.

Fortunately, the Xuanli Realm is not very vast for the Demon General, and there is a map in Cangnan that records the exact location of each Dragon Breath Platform, so it is not difficult to verify this matter.

While examining the jade slips, Chen Yuan also sorted out the mustard seed rings of the three demon generals, reaping considerable rewards.

The three demon generals have all cultivated to the peak of the high-level demon general realm, and are only one step away from becoming a Void Refining Demon King. They have painstakingly collected several treasures, all of which will help them break through to the Demon King realm.

Qin Yuan, the Demon General, had two 8,000-year-old Body Tempering Pills, while Chen Yu, the Demon General, had prepared a bottle of Heavenly Awakening Spirit Spring that could purify demonic power and solidify one's foundation, as well as a bottle of 5,000-year-old Body Tempering Pills.

Within the Mustard Seed Ring of the Demon General of Lieshan lies a Thick Flower Pill, which Chen Yuan has only ever seen in the alchemy encyclopedia. For earth-elemental demon beasts, it has the effect of purifying bloodlines, even surpassing the Heavenly Demon Blood Purification Pill.

For demons, cultivation prioritizes bloodline and physical body; the path to becoming a demon king also depends on this.

As for the power of laws, there is no need to deliberately comprehend it. As long as one cultivates to a certain level, one can naturally master it from within one's bloodline.

Of course, if one could comprehend the power of laws in advance like the Demon General Youji, cultivation would be twice as effective, breakthroughs would be much easier, and after advancing, one's strength would surpass that of a demon king of the same rank.

Chen Yuan stored the Body Tempering Pill and Body Tempering Herb into his internal space. In addition, there was a bottle of late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation pills, more than a hundred top-grade spirit stones, and other treasures, which were also somewhat useful. He put them into his mustard seed ring.

Chen Yuan refined two of the top-grade spirit stones to restore his true essence.

The Xuanli Realm is filled with dragon energy. Whether human or demon, the only way to restore true essence and demonic power is to refine spirit stones and pills.

Chen Yuan was quite fortunate at this moment. Before entering the Xuanli Realm, he had made a special trip to Yinchao City to buy dozens of spiritual herbs and refine them into two bottles of Qingqu Pills and one bottle of Shunyuan Pills.

This was originally a precautionary measure he had taken to deal with the hundred demon generals, but it turned out to be a lucky accident, as he no longer had to worry about running out of true essence. However, Chen Yuan had taken the opportunity to kill three demon generals this time, so his true essence consumption was not high. Two top-grade spirit stones would be enough to replenish it, and he didn't need these three bottles of pills.

……

The next day, Chen Yuan and Wang Xuanyue set off together, quietly leaving Tushan City and flying towards the Wanyan Mountain Range in the center of Xuanli Realm.

Wang Xuanyue had already arranged matters concerning the tribe, ordering three elders of the Tengyun Realm to remain in Tushan City and be on high alert, especially at the Dragon Breath Platform, where two elders were sent to oversee the operation.

He also dispatched most of the Manifestation Realm cultivators from the central Cangnan region to various tribes to spread the word about the demon race's invasion of the Xuanli Realm.

After the two left Tushan City, Chen Yuan suggested passing by several Dragon Breath Platforms along the way, but did not explicitly mention the spirit array.

He only said that he would take the opportunity to search for traces of human cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage and kill a few demon generals to slow down their destruction of the Dragon Breath Platform.

Wang Xuanyue readily agreed and then slightly changed direction, flying towards the Qiushi tribe.

The Chaotic Cloud Peak, where the Qiushi tribe is located, is situated on the road from Tushan City to the Wanyan Mountain Range.

The dragon people are formidable in combat, but they are not skilled at flying. It took them almost half a day to cover a distance of 20,000 li.

Although Chen Yuan was fast, it would be too impolite for him to directly carry Wang Xuanyue away, so he had to slow down.

The two arrived above Luanyun Peak. The Dragon Breath Platform was intact, and the thatched hut hall built by the Qiushi tribe was also undamaged.

However, the tribe was very small, and they were all hiding in the main hall, which made things very tense.

The two men were well aware of this; the Qiushi tribe warriors were still at the foot of Minwei Mountain and had not yet returned, which was why the people left behind were so vigilant.

Shen Yu, the Demon General, possessed a unique illusion technique that wouldn't immediately become ineffective even after Chen Yuan had killed her.

Only after that wisp of green energy was completely dissipated did Elder Qiushi awaken from the illusion.

The two continued their journey, passing through two tribes in a single day, both of which had their Dragon Breath Platforms intact.

The two stopped when they arrived at the third tribe.

The Dragon Breath Platform relies on the spiritual vein, which in turn relies on the earth vein. Where the earth vein is located, the earth energy is abundant and condenses, often forming mountain ranges and dangerous peaks.

The third tribe was located at the foot of a mountain range.

But what should have been a peaceful and harmonious scene of the tribe was now a scene of devastation: stone temples collapsed, thatched huts were broken, corpses lay everywhere, and blood flowed like rivers.

In the mountains, the Dragon Breath Platform, the foundation upon which the tribe depended, was also destroyed. The mountains collapsed, the earth cracked, trees were broken, and the violent dragon energy raged endlessly, creating a scene of apocalypse.

To destroy a spiritual vein, one must first destroy the earth's veins. When the earth's energy surges, even the mountains it supports cannot escape unscathed.

Wang Xuanyue looked at the gruesome state of the dragon-man corpses below, his expression grim, and his pale golden dragon eyes blazing with fury.

Chen Yuan sensed the intense demonic energy remaining in the world, as well as the dragon-men who had clearly died recently, their wounds still gushing blood. He swept his divine sense across the land but found no corpse of the Demon General.

He was completely relieved. The demon general who destroyed the Dragon Breath Platform had not died here. It seemed that the Xuanli Realm Formation really did not have a formation spirit.

Seeing the anger in Wang Xuanyue's eyes, Chen Yuan comforted her, "The person who destroyed the Dragon Breath Platform should have left not long ago. It's just a pity we arrived a step too late."

"However, as long as that demon general is not dead, he will definitely go to the Ten Thousand Flame Mountains after learning the location of the True Dragon Cave."

“We can memorize this person’s aura and then kill him to avenge these dragon people. It won’t be too late.”

Wang Xuan Yue said, word by word, "Why go to such trouble? This person has no trace of dragon energy within him. I have my own ways of finding his whereabouts and tearing him to pieces!" (End of this chapter)
