Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

Chu Weicai's eyes flashed, and he stroked his beard and smiled, "Congratulations to young friend Chen for having such a helper. You have a better chance of breaking through the True Dragon Cave Formation."

He then looked at Wu Xuan, staring at him intently, and said, "You must remain loyal to your master in the future and not ruin your own path."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xuan straightened up and said proudly, "I am not Fellow Daoist Chen's servant, so how could I be serving a master?"

Chu Weicai's face darkened: "Do you know that young friend Chen comes from a major sect in the Spirit Realm? He is a disciple of the Tai Xuan Sect, and the sect leader is a Mahayana cultivator, far surpassing that Flame Cloud Demon Saint by a hundred times."

"Being Chen Xiaoyou's servant will not disgrace you."

Wu Xuan frowned and looked at Chen Yuan: "So you are not from the thirty-seven sects of Tyrant Turtle Island. I have never heard of the Tai Xuan Sect before."

"But no matter what sect or school you come from, I will always follow your lead."

Seeing his reaction, Chu Weicai narrowed his eyes: "Tai Xuan Sect is a major sect in the Spirit Realm, how can you be so ignorant?"

Wu Xuan glanced at him and said indifferently, "It is your ignorance that you reside in the Xuanli Realm."

“The Spirit Realm is incredibly powerful, boasting over a hundred Mahayana cultivators and more than a hundred major sects and sects.”

"On Tyrant Turtle Island, there are only thirty-seven sects that have fought against my Burning Demon Realm. The Tai Xuan Sect is not among them, so I naturally do not know."

Chu Weicai was taken aback, but not annoyed. He looked at Chen Yuan and asked, "May I ask, young friend, where is this Tyrant Turtle Island located?"

Chen Yuan gave him a deep look and smiled, "This Tyrant Turtle Island is an extremely unique spatial secret realm..."

He briefly recounted the invasion of the Demon Burning Realm by the human race from the Spirit Realm, and finally explained, "Our sect did not build a city on Tyrant Turtle Island; we just happened to discover clues about the Xuanli Realm."

"And the demons of the Burning Demon Realm also know the location of the Xuanli Realm."

"Our sect elders sent me to infiltrate the Demon Burning Realm to secretly investigate this matter."

Chu Weicai nodded slowly, the doubt in his eyes fading away. He stroked his beard and smiled, "I see. Young friend, you are willing to take such a dangerous risk. You are wise and courageous. You are indeed a disciple of a prestigious family."

I observe that your vital energy appears somewhat weak, young friend; it seems your true essence has been significantly depleted. Is there any way to restore it?

Chen Yuan said, "Before entering the Xuanli Realm, I had already prepared pills to restore my true essence."

Chu Weicai said, "Then please meditate and adjust your breathing, young friend. I will arrange the affairs of the tribe before heading to the Ten Thousand Flame Mountains. I wonder if one night will be enough?"

Chen Yuan said, "One night is enough."

Chu Weicai smiled and nodded, then turned to Chu Ming and instructed, "Personally arrange accommodations for young friend Chen and this... young friend Wuxuan."

Chu Ming stood up and agreed, giving Wu Xuan a cold look before gesturing, "Fellow Daoist Chen, please."

Chen Yuan stood up, clasped his hands in a fist and bowed to Chu Weicai: "This junior takes his leave."

Wu Xuan bowed to Chu Weicai, but his arrogance was undeniable.

The two followed Chu Ming out of the stone hall, their figures disappearing outside the courtyard gate.

Chu Weicai sat upright in the main seat, his brows slightly furrowed, stroking his beard as he fell into deep thought.

A quarter of an hour later, Chu Ming returned to the hall and reported to Chu Weicai: "Elder, Fellow Daoist Chen and Wu Xuan have settled down in Xunlong Courtyard, and there are soldiers from the clan patrolling the area. No one will disturb them."

Chu Weicai nodded: "Very good. I have been away from the tribe for a long time, and you are in charge of all matters. I will not interfere too much."

"Today, the Yingqian tribe has suffered a drastic change. Most of Qianwei City has been burned down, and the tribesmen have suffered heavy casualties. The aftermath is extremely complicated."

"Go and make the arrangements quickly, select one or two elders to be in charge, and accompany me to the Ten Thousand Flame Mountains tomorrow."

Chu Ming immediately agreed, but then hesitated: "Elder, Fellow Daoist Chen claims to be from the Tai Xuan Sect, a major sect in the Spirit Realm."

"But Wu Xuan has never been heard of before, which is rather strange..."

Chu Weicai said, "Are you worried that young friend Chen's identity is fake?"

Chu Ming hesitated and said, "Logically speaking, young friend Chen doesn't need to disguise his identity."

"Moreover, he killed Ao Xuan and several demon generals. He was invincible and his strength was unfathomable. His origin must be extraordinary."

"But according to him, the Spirit Realm has more than a hundred Mahayana cultivators who have conquered all the heavens and myriad realms and even occupied two continents of the Burning Demon Realm. This is somewhat of an exaggeration."

"Is it too hasty for us to help him break through the True Dragon Cave Formation now?"

Chu Weicai frowned: "You want me to submit to the demon race?"

Chu Ming quickly clasped his hands and bowed: "I had no such intention. Ao Xuan burned down Qianwei City, causing heavy casualties to our troops. The hatred is as deep as the sea and must be avenged."

"However, this matter concerns the survival of the tribe, and even the rise and fall of the dragon race, so we should proceed with caution."

"There are now a large number of demons entering the Xuanli Realm, and both Ao Xuan and Fellow Daoist Chen have said that the Demon General is supported by several Demon Saints, which should be true."

"As for the human cultivators, we only saw Fellow Daoist Chen, and he even entered the Xuanli Realm with those demon generals."

"As for whether there are other human cultivators, and whether they come from the Tai Xuan Sect, these are all Fellow Daoist Chen's words, and it is impossible to prove their truth or falsehood."

"Of course, Fellow Daoist Chen has done a great favor for my Yingqian Department, but the Supreme Elder's gift of True Dragon Saliva and Dragon Transformation Stone is enough to repay this favor."

"But the survival of the tribe should not be placed on the shoulders of one person; we must leave ourselves a backup plan."

"It would be better to secretly send people to find other human cultivators. If it is indeed as Fellow Daoist Chen said, then we can do our best to help him break the True Dragon Cave Formation."

"If what he says is false, we might as well devise another plan."

"After all, the demon general who entered the Xuanli Realm this time is not backed by only one demon saint..."

Chu Ming lowered his voice, and the hall fell silent.

Chu Weicai stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and slowly said, "As the clan leader, it is only natural that you care about the clan."

"But Wu Xuan still refused to bow down and become Chen Xiaoyou's servant in the face of life and death, so what he said should be true."

"Both he and Chen Xiaoyou said that the Spirit Realm has more than a hundred Mahayana cultivators and is extremely powerful, which is probably true."

"The Tai Xuan Sect may not be a major sect in the Spirit Realm, but it is not weak either, otherwise it would not be able to cultivate a Nascent Soul cultivator as powerful as young friend Chen."

"Even if Chen Xiaoyou's words were somewhat exaggerated, he alone could defeat those hundred-plus demon generals one by one."

"It is now inevitable that powerful beings from both the human and demon races will enter the Xuanli Realm."

"As for the fact that our main force has already formed a deep enmity with the demon race, it is even more uncertain whether it will side with other demon saints."

"Only by relying on the Tai Xuan Sect behind Chen Xiaoyou can the inheritance be preserved."

"We have no other choice but to join forces with him to stop the demon race from breaking the formation."

"I only hope that what young friend Chen said is true, and that the human race in the spirit realm will truly treat the dragon people kindly..."

Chu Weicai sighed softly, a look of worry appearing in his golden dragon eyes.

……

Several miles away from Chu Weicai's residence, a courtyard survived the meteor shower. It was quite large, with lush green trees, quiet and elegant, and several squads of soldiers were patrolling around it.

In the reception room, Chen Yuan sat in the main seat and asked, "Did the Spirit Bamboo Demon Saint bestow any treasures to break the formation?" Wu Xuan stood in front of him and replied, "The Spirit Bamboo Demon Saint only instructed us on the art of formations for a few days and did not bestow any treasures."

"However, the Flame Cloud Demon Saint bestowed three six-colored barrier-breaking talismans, which can break the Demon King's restrictions, and specifically instructed me to find the True Dragon Cave."

"The other three formation masters should also have been granted treasures to break formations."

Chen Yuan frowned and asked again, "How many demon saints sent out demon generals for this trip to the Xuanli Realm? Are they supported by a Great Saint?"

Wu Xuan said, "This matter involves the Demon Saint, and I have only heard about it."

"It is said that the Heavenly Pillar Demon Saint discovered the Xuanli Realm and invited the other five Demon Saints to join forces to explore this realm together."

"But only the four demon saints, Bloodtooth, Heavenly Pillar, Flame Cloud, and Cold Shadow, sent out their demon generals."

"The other two, the Spirit Bamboo Demon Saint and the Tiger Fin Demon Saint, only made a move to break the formation."

"As for whether the Great Sage has any support, I really don't know."

After pondering for a moment, Chen Yuan asked a few more questions, all related to the demon generals who entered the Demon Burning Realm, especially the two true spirit descendants, Ao Pan and Zhong Ding.

However, Wu Xuan usually focused on the art of formations. It was only after he was ordered to enter the Xuanli Realm that he learned that in addition to Ao Xuan, there were two other descendants of true spirits traveling with him, and he knew little about them.

Moreover, Ao Pan and Zhong Ding did not even open up their own cave dwellings, and they rarely went out.

Even when they undergo life-or-death trials, they mostly explore fragments of the interface or fight against captured Nascent Soul cultivators, remaining unknown to others.

Unable to get any further information, Chen Yuan dismissed Wu Xuan and began meditating to regulate his breathing.

Wu Xuan's demonic power was greatly depleted, but before leaving, the Flame Cloud Demon Saint bestowed upon him many treasures, so he had no shortage of spirit stones and pills and immediately took his leave.

Chen Yuan then got up and went to the cultivation room, where he sat down cross-legged.

He took out Ao Xuan's mustard seed ring from his bosom, and then took out his demon core from his inner space.

Ao Xuan's demon core was entirely crimson, only the size of a fist, perfectly round and flawless, containing an incomparably dense demonic power.

The surface of the demon core was engraved with naturally formed flame patterns, which were extremely mysterious and subtly conformed to the laws of fire.

Chen Yuan examined the demon core containing the essence of a true dragon, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

The true dragon blood within Ao Xuan's body is of the fire element, and according to the "Nine Revolutions of True Spirit," it should originate from the Crimson Flame Dragon.

The crimson spiritual fire he wielded was called the Crimson Heaven True Fire, which was on par with the Southern Bright Fire, the Golden Crow True Fire, and the Nirvana Fire, among other true spiritual fires, and possessed the power to burn everything.

After a while, Chen Yuan suddenly sighed, took out a wooden box made of ten-thousand-year-old spirit wood, put the demon core into it, closed it, affixed a spirit-sealing talisman, and put it back into his body space.

Although the Crimson Flame Dragon's true blood in Ao Xuan's demon core was valuable, he was unable to refine it, let alone use it to break through to the Void Refinement Realm.

Besides requiring the refinement of nine kinds of True Spirit Blood, "Nine Revolutions of True Spirit" also has other limitations.

These nine types of True Spirit Blood cannot originate from the same Law Power. Otherwise, if two True Spirit Powers that originate from the same source but have significant differences clash, Chen Yuan will immediately explode and die.

He has already refined the true blood of the Zhu Yan. Although the true spirit of the Zhu Yan is the master of the way of killing, it also involves the laws of fire.

The Crimson Flame Dragon is born entirely under the laws of fire, and the two cannot coexist.

Chen Yuan was also extremely lucky. The three kinds of True Spirit Blood he encountered in the human realm originated from the Fire Law, the Space Law, and the Thunder Law, respectively, which enabled him to cultivate all the way to the Divine Transformation Realm.

When Chen Yuan arrived at Qianwei City, he saw that Ao Xuan had condensed a sea of ​​fire, and knew that he could not refine the true blood in Ao Xuan's body.

However, True Spirit Blood is not only used for refining. In "Nine Revolutions of True Spirit", there are several secret techniques that require True Spirit Blood to be performed.

However, these secret techniques are all time-consuming and cannot be used now. They can only be tried again after leaving the Xuanli Realm.

A wisp of Zhu Yan True Fire rose from Chen Yuan's palm and surged into the Mustard Seed Ring, erasing the divine soul imprint left by Ao Xuan. With a thought, he took out all the treasures inside.

Ao Xuan, as expected of a descendant of a true spirit, was highly regarded by the Flame Cloud Demon Saint. Although there were not many treasures in the Mustard Seed Ring, each one was exceptionally precious.

These treasures are mostly fire-elemental treasures, which can help one comprehend the laws of fire and break through to the Demon King realm.

If it were a demon general with fire-elemental bloodline, or a human cultivator who practices fire-elemental laws, they would be overjoyed.

The most common way to comprehend the power of laws is to study the power of laws contained in rare and precious materials, and the Dragon Transformation Stone is one such example.

The most orthodox way is to directly comprehend the universe and nature.

The power of laws is dispersed throughout heaven and earth, and all things contain the power of laws, but it is too thin.

This method takes too long and has an extremely low success rate. Unless one has exceptionally high comprehension, it is simply a waste of time.

There are also some secret and dangerous places with extremely special environments, making it easier to comprehend the power of laws, but they are extremely dangerous, and there are not many people who use this method.

Chen Yuan also knew that he could comprehend the power of laws by studying the origin of the interface.

However, very few people know this method, and the opportunity to come into contact with the essence of the interface is also very limited.

It was only by chance that Chen Yuan came into contact with the original fragments of the Green Mantis Realm.

The fire-element treasure in Ao Xuan's possession was of little use to him, since the Zhu Yan True Fire only involved fire-element laws and was mainly about killing and warfare.

The most useful item is a bottle of body-tempering elixir that is eight thousand years old.

With the addition of that True Dragon Saliva, Chen Yuan only needs to obtain the demon core of Ao Pan or Zhong Ding to begin his attempt to break through to the Void Refining Realm after leaving the Xuanli Realm.

Chen Yuan put away the many treasures, a smile appearing on his lips. He became even more curious about the origin of the jade pendant.

Only a little over a hundred years have passed since he successfully transformed into a Nascent Soul, and he has already cultivated to the late stage of Nascent Soul, capable of breaking through to the Void Refinement realm.

This is all thanks to the power of the "Nine Revolutions of True Spirit" and the Jade Pendant. If it were a different cultivation method, with Chen Yuan's comprehension and aptitude, let alone breaking through to the Void Refinement stage, he would have already turned into a skeleton in a tomb.

This cultivation technique was so amazing that it made Chen Yuan's foundation incredibly solid, and his strength far surpassed that of other cultivators of the same level.

Without the help of the jade pendant, and without the ability to draw starlight into his body, Chen Yuan's cultivation speed would not have been so rapid.

These are indeed extraordinary treasures from the immortals.

With a sigh, Chen Yuan took out an item, which was the bright yellow scroll that Liu Fan had presented.

He gently stroked the surface of the scroll, channeling his true essence and divine sense into it, but all his efforts were in vain.

A hint of curiosity flashed in Chen Yuan's eyes. This treasure was extremely mysterious, and he wondered what its effects were and whether it could be compared with the jade pendant.

Unfortunately, the scroll could not be opened. He shook his head and put it back into his body space.

Immortal treasures cannot be shown to others, so Chen Yuan can only slowly search for a way to unlock them.

He flipped his hand and took out a jade bottle, poured out a Qingqu Pill, swallowed it, concentrated his mind and calmed his breath, closed his eyes and sat in meditation to restore his true energy.

The next day, Chen Yuan's true energy was fully restored. He brought Wu Xuan to Chu Weicai's residence, where Chu Ming was already waiting.

Without wasting any time or having any other elders from the Yingqian Sect accompany them, the four quietly left Qianwei City and headed towards the Wanyan Mountains. (End of Chapter)
