Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

Ao Cang has been coiled on the ancient dragon locust tree all year round, absorbing the essence of wood to temper his body and improve his cultivation. His cave dwelling is empty all year round.

However, in terms of spiritual energy concentration, his cave is even better than the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Dragon Locust Tree.

Chen Yuan sat cross-legged in the cultivation room, with a faint spiritual mist drifting out, almost comparable to the valley where Tongtian Pavilion was located on Tongtian Island.

There is also a giant spiritual vein on Tongtian Island, but Tongtian Island is already in ruins.

Aside from supporting the formation, almost all of the spiritual energy in the valley was intercepted by the green-robed formation spirit, resulting in an incredibly dense spiritual energy that was rare even in the lower realms.

It is already extremely rare that the spiritual energy in Ao Cang Cave can condense into spiritual mist.

For Nascent Soul cultivators, it can significantly accelerate their cultivation speed.

However, Chen Yuan was not in a hurry to cultivate. The bloodline restrictions on the three spiritual treasures and divine weapons in his hands had been erased, but he still needed to subdue the weapon spirits before he could be considered to have initially refined them.

Chen Yuan activated the Zhu Yan True Blood, turning his black hair snow-white. He raised his right hand, and the Zhu Yan True Fire rose up.

He slowly extended his right hand and grasped the Cangming Halberd. The slightly ethereal white flames flowed to both sides, enveloping the purplish-black halberd body and emitting an eerie glow.

Chen Yuan spread his divine sense and probed into the Cangming Halberd, arriving at a void where he saw a trembling black Peng bird.

This is the spirit of the Cangming Halberd, which, under the threat of the Zhuyan True Fire, cannot suppress its fear.

However, after sensing Chen Yuan's divine sense, the Peng bird still tried its best to spread its wings and let out a few sharp cries, seemingly threatening Chen Yuan, but it also revealed a feeling of being fierce on the outside but weak on the inside.

Chen Yuan waited for a while until the Zhu Yan True Fire completely enveloped the Fangtian Halberd. The Peng Bird spirit had already huddled up in a ball, its lively eyes full of pleading for mercy.

Chen Yuan smiled slightly, releasing a sense of reassurance, and slowly withdrew the Zhu Yan True Fire that had covered the Cangming Halberd.

But as the Zhu Yan True Fire faded, the Peng bird spirit, which had been cowering, stretched out its body, shook itself violently twice, spread its wings, raised its head and let out a long howl, and became brave and unyielding again.

Chen Yuan's face darkened, and the eerie white flames began to flow again, enveloping the Cangming Halberd. They were so intense and dazzling that they even forced the other two spiritual treasures and divine weapons to retreat to the side.

The roc spirit, which had just been invigorated, immediately wilted, its eyes filled with even more terror than before, and its cries were filled with panic.

The Zhu Yan True Fire was too restrained by the divine soul and the artifact spirit. It was only slightly more ferocious, but it caused the Peng bird artifact spirit to suffer a catastrophic disaster and panic.

This time, however, Chen Yuan did not immediately extinguish the Zhu Yan True Fire as he had done before.

The Vermilion Flame continued to envelop the Cangming Halberd, and even in the void space where the Peng Bird spirit resided, a few wisps of white flame quietly appeared.

The cry of the Peng bird spirit grew increasingly sharp, its massive body huddled in a corner, faintly revealing a hint of pleading.

But Chen Yuan did not soften his heart. He waited for a full quarter of an hour before the Zhu Yan True Fire covering the Fangtian Halberd slowly subsided.

The spirit of the Peng bird spread its wings again, but its movements seemed somewhat hesitant.

Chen Yuan frowned, and the Zhu Yan True Fire that had just subsided suddenly rose again, instantly engulfing the Fangtian Halberd.

The Peng bird spirit cried out a few times, then suddenly closed its wings, covered its head, and curled up into a ball, no longer daring to resist, allowing Chen Yuan to leave a divine imprint on the Fangtian Halberd.

It spread its wings, cried out softly a few times, and its eyes were filled with sorrow and ingratiation.

A smile appeared on Chen Yuan's lips. Although the spiritual treasure had given birth to a spirit, it had not yet taken form and was not as lively as the Peng bird spirit.

As Qin Wuyai had said, this halberd was not yet a Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, but it was already very close.

Once the Cangming Halberd no longer needs to be infused with Kunpeng's true blood, the Peng bird's spirit should be able to leave this void space and become a true heaven-reaching spiritual treasure.

Chen Yuan bit his tongue, spitting out a drop of blood essence, which slowly seeped into the Cangming Halberd.

A faint purplish-black light flashed across the halberd, causing it to tremble slightly. In the void, the spirit of the Peng bird also let out a joyful cry, the sorrow in its eyes vanished, and the ancient seal script "Cangming" on its body shimmered slightly.

Although he was forced to submit to Chen Yuan, Chen Yuan, like its former master, the Kunyu Demon King, had refined the Kunpeng True Blood, which far surpassed Kun Chenglie's Kunyu bloodline.

Following such a master brings it great benefits, and its resistance is no longer so strong.

After leaving his divine imprint, Chen Yuan connected with the spirit of the Peng bird and felt its joy. He smiled slightly, put the Cangming Halberd into his dantian, and nurtured it with his true essence.

As soon as the Cangming Halberd entered his dantian, the spirit of the Peng bird flew out from the void and let out a long, joyful cry, but it stopped abruptly upon seeing the true spirit of the Kunpeng.

It looked at the Kunpeng True Spirit swimming back and forth in the sea of ​​true essence below with surprise and doubt, then suddenly flapped its wings and flew down, circling the Kunpeng True Spirit a few times, and called out a few times ingratiatingly.

But the true spirit of Kunpeng ignored it completely, and the spirit of the Peng bird flew up again in a huff.

It came to Chen Yuan's primordial spirit's side, glanced at the tattered Xuan Yin Armor, and with a hint of contempt in its eyes, it was about to domineeringly push it aside.

But the Xuan Yin Armor did not back down, and wisps of black demonic energy spread out, rushing towards the Peng bird spirit.

The Peng bird spirit cried out in surprise and quickly flapped its wings to fly to the side, while the Cangming Halberd also dodged aside.

The Xuan Yin Armor trembled a few times, seemingly warning the Peng bird spirit. The black demonic energy receded, and it quietly absorbed the pure energy of the primordial spirit and the essence of true essence.

The Peng bird spirit stopped, staring at the Xuan Yin Armor, looking it up and down as if calculating whether it was a match for this tattered armor.

Finally, it seemed to realize that the black demonic energy was still too dangerous to handle. It stopped where it was, flapped its wings, cried out a few times, and pretended to intimidate the Xuan Yin Armor before finally flying back into the Cangming Halberd, contentedly absorbing the pure energy of its primordial spirit and the essence of its true essence. The sea of ​​true essence below descended at an astonishing speed, and a massive amount of true essence evaporated and surged into the Cangming Halberd.

Chen Yuan looked inward at himself, his gaze fixed on the halberd that gleamed with a warm luster, and his expression was somewhat strange.

The spirit of this roc is far too powerful; it even seems to be... bullying the weak and fearing the strong?

He shook his head and chuckled, withdrawing his divine sense. The Zhu Yan True Fire rose again in his hand, reaching out towards the gleaming Guanghan Bow.

……

Half an hour later, Chen Yuan followed the same method and forcibly refined the two spiritual treasures, the Guanghan Bow and the Zhansha Blade, and stored them in his dantian.

The sea of ​​true essence was decreasing at an even more alarming rate, and soon more than 50% of it was consumed.

Not only are spiritual treasures incredibly powerful, but they also consume an astonishing amount of true essence.

Chen Yuan has now refined four spiritual treasures and divine weapons, among which the Cangming Halberd is far superior to ordinary spiritual treasures and divine weapons, and consumes more true essence.

If it were any other early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, they could at most wield two spiritual treasures or divine weapons at the same time to fight an enemy. If they used all four at once, they could only last for an hour.

Chen Yuan had refined three kinds of True Spirit Blood, making his True Essence extremely pure, which was why he could withstand such a consumption.

The spirits of the Guanghan Bow and the Zhansha Blade had not yet taken form and were far less agile than the Peng Bird spirit, but they were still able to sense the threat of the Zhuyan True Fire and were forced to submit to Chen Yuan.

However, after entering Chen Yuan's dantian, under the nourishment of pure true essence, the spirits of the two magical weapons calmed down and accepted Chen Yuan as their new master.

Chen Yuan was able to subdue these three spiritual treasures in such a short time entirely thanks to the Zhu Yan True Fire.

If Qin Wuyai and the other two wanted to refine the spiritual treasures and divine weapons in their hands, they could only use other methods, such as slowly wearing down the spirits with their divine soul power, and then forcibly leaving a divine imprint after the spirits of the weapons had weakened.

However, the spirit of the artifact and the divine weapon are one. If the spirit of the artifact is damaged, the power of the divine weapon will also decrease, and it will take a longer time to nurture it back to its original state.

No one would use this method unless absolutely necessary.

However, since all three are cultivators of magic and cannot wield spiritual treasures or divine weapons in combat, they probably wouldn't do that.

Three days later, the three divine weapons, having absorbed a large amount of true essence, finally stopped.

They have already been initially refined by Chen Yuan. The next step is to nourish them with true essence and integrate them with blood essence. After a few years, they will be able to control them as if they were their own arms and fingers, and will be completely refined.

Chen Yuan had already fully grasped the profound mysteries of the three magical treasures and divine weapons.

The Fiend-Slaying Blade is incomparably sharp; even a top-tier magic weapon can be cleaved in two with just a few strikes.

The blade is wreathed in malevolent energy and can fly twenty miles, having the effect of intimidating the mind.

When fully unleashed, the murderous aura soared to the sky, captivating the soul; even Nascent Soul cultivators would be thrown into a daze.

If a cultivator is below the Nascent Soul stage, they might even lose their courage and soul under the impact of the baleful aura and be directly killed by the blade's aura.

The Guanghan Bow can condense true essence into long arrows and shoot them out. The purer and more abundant the true essence, the sharper the long arrow becomes.

The greater the force with which the bowstring is drawn, the farther the arrow will travel.

Chen Yuan left Fulong Island and conducted an experiment in a remote sea area.

Simultaneously activating the blood of three true spirits, he drew back the bowstring with all his might, and the long arrow in his hand could shoot a full sixty miles away, and at an astonishing speed, it could hit the target within three breaths.

Within thirty miles, they could arrive in the blink of an eye, almost like teleportation.

However, even with Chen Yuan exerting all his strength, the vibration of the bowstring needed time to subside; it would take at least three breaths before he could shoot the next arrow.

To Chen Yuan's surprise, although he did not have the bloodline of the Howling Moon Silver Wolf, the Guanghan Bow could still absorb a trace of moonlight under the moonlight, condense a long arrow of moonlight, and after being shot, it would turn into moon flames, burning everything, even spiritual treasures.

Others only know that this arrow is incredibly powerful, but they don't know why the Moonlight Arrow transforms into moon flames.

However, Chen Yuan has always used the jade pendant to draw upon the power of the stars in the heavens to temper his body, which is the essence of the sun and moon, extremely yang and strong, transformed into spiritual fire, which is the most powerful way to unleash its power.

This Moon Bow must have been crafted using some extremely precious spiritual material to draw upon the essence of the sun and moon as a means of attacking enemies.

In addition, Chen Yuan can also use spiritual materials to refine arrows himself. The more precious the spiritual materials, the more powerful the arrows.

The black iron arrow that Yin Qianjie shot was even more powerful than the Moonlight Arrow.

Chen Yuan used his Devouring Technique to catch it unharmed, but in doing so, he exhausted his Devouring Power.

If it were any other cultivator, even if they managed to survive the black iron arrows, they would be severely injured and their cultivation path would be severed.

And this black iron arrow is now in Chen Yuan's hands.

In future battles against enemies, he will have another trump card.

But one black iron arrow wasn't enough. Chen Yuan returned to Fulong Island, went to the weapon-refining hall, took out the spiritual materials he had, and asked six grandmaster weapon refiners to forge a long arrow. (End of Chapter)
