Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

Seven days later, Chen Yuan was cultivating when he was awakened from his meditation by Liu Kaiyang's voice.

"Have you decided which demonic beast you want to choose as your spirit beast?"

Chen Yuan sat in the main seat in the stone hall and asked a question.

Liu Kaiyang hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "This disciple has already decided. I will choose one each of the Crimson Dragon, Blue Dragon, Wood Dragon, Gold Dragon, and Earth Dragon."

Chen Yuan was somewhat surprised: "You're going to set up the Five Dragons Formation?"

Although he would not change his cultivation method, he had read the "Return of All Spirits to the Origin Scripture," the fundamental inheritance of the Spirit Control Sect, and was quite familiar with its supernatural powers.

This Five Dragons Formation uses the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, with dragons as its spirit beasts. When defending against enemies, the beasts form the formation, cycling through the five elements, making it incredibly powerful.

Liu Kaiyang nodded: "This disciple is now in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and has never studied the art of beast taming before."

“If we follow the steps and start from scratch to refine our soul, it will take too much time.”

"The Five Dragons Formation places less burden on the soul and can make up for the time wasted on switching cultivation methods, allowing disciples to form their core sooner."

"But Earth Dragons and Gold Dragons are already rare, and now that the Dragon Clan has been wiped out, if they are not easy to find, Red Dragons, Blue Dragons, and Wood Dragons will suffice..."

Liu Kaiyang looked somewhat uneasy, but Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Since I promised you, I won't go back on my word."

"The Jiaolong clan has a large number of members. When Fulong Island was breached, there were still many Jiaolong in various parts of the East China Sea. There should be quite a few that escaped the extermination."

"For the next two years, you should cultivate diligently on the island and change your cultivation method. Your master will then have someone capture the Five Elements Flood Dragon."

Liu Kaiyang bowed deeply: "Thank you, Master!"

……

Two years passed in the blink of an eye. On Fulong Island, Chen Yuan spent his days either cultivating or studying the ancient texts left behind by the eight royal families.

Through Qin Wuyai and Liu Kaiyang, he had gained some understanding of the Spirit Realm, but he knew very little about the Burning Demon Realm, which was about to be ascended to.

According to Qin Wuyai, the Burning Demon Realm and the Spirit Realm are constantly at war, but there is more than one demon realm that is fighting against the Spirit Realm, and he has never fought against the demons of the Burning Demon Realm.

Before taking action against the eight royal families, the four were worried that the demons would guess that they wanted to enter the Demon Realm, so they risked luring out three demon generals and then annihilating them.

Back then, when the human cultivators faced the demon army, they reported to the spirit realm and requested Qin Wuyai and four other Void Refinement cultivators to descend.

However, after annihilating the eight royal clans, the four of them failed to find anything on the five demon generals that could communicate with the Burning Demon Realm.

Perhaps the five of them lacked the means to communicate with the Burning Demon Realm, or perhaps the methods by which the demon race communicated with the upper realm were different from those of the human race; the four of them failed to discern the truth.

But that was no longer important. Chen Yuan wanted to find records about the Burning Demon Realm in the ancient books of the eight royal families, but he found nothing.

Even the Kunyu clan, left behind by the Kunyu Demon King, has no records of the Burning Demon Realm.

A pang of regret rose in Chen Yuan's heart. It was a pity that before killing the White Ape Demon King, he had first asked him about the situation of the Burning Demon Realm.

It seems we can only play it by ear now.

The records of the eight royal families did not mention the Demon Burning Realm, but two of the supernatural powers and secret techniques mentioned therein greatly interested Chen Yuan.

One of the techniques, "Mixed Poison Body Refining Technique," involves mixing several rare poisons with precious spiritual herbs to create a spiritual liquid.

Immersing oneself in it and then using a special technique to allow the spiritual liquid to enter the body, stimulating the limbs and bones, has the effect of tempering the physical body. This secret technique was obtained from Xiong Tunhai. According to the general outline, it has seven levels, but Chen Yuan only has the first three levels.

However, even the first three levels of this secret technique use incredibly potent poisons.

The first level requires at least a low-level demon general's body to perform, the second level requires a mid-level demon general, and the third level requires a high-level demon general.

The first two levels of secret techniques were useless to Chen Yuan, but the third level was somewhat helpful to him.

However, Chen Yuan had never heard of the three strange poisons mentioned in the third level of the secret technique, and each of them was extremely bizarre.

For example, one of the rare poisons requires the blood of twelve demon generals to be placed in the stamen of a demonic plant called "Blood Bone Lotus" for forty-nine days. After that, it will turn into nectar. Even a high-ranking demon general will be seriously injured if he takes it.

However, this nectar has a strong fragrance and obvious toxicity. Even the demon general could tell that it was a spiritual liquid specially used to prepare the third level of the "Mixed Poison Body Refining Secret Technique".

After Chen Yuan saw this secret technique in Xiong Tunhai's mustard seed ring, he stayed.

Although Qin Wuyai and the other two didn't need to use it, they still copied a copy of this secret technique, which was also useful to Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

Chen Yuan also specially collected the blood of five demon generals and asked Lu Wangquan for dozens of kilograms of Sun Yuan's blood.

All that's needed is to gather the blood of six different demon generals and find a Blood Bone Lotus to make the nectar.

The other two rare poisons are even more bizarre and rare than Blood Bone Night-Blooming Honey, and are extremely dangerous to the Demon General.

Such a dangerous and bizarre secret technique requires at least a demon general to cultivate even the first three levels. It could not have been created by cultivators from the lower realms; it must have been passed down from the upper realms.

Another secret technique was obtained from Ao Cang. It was also an incomplete, nameless secret technique, and only the first half was available.

After seeing this incomplete secret manual, Chen Yuan felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

However, this incomplete secret technique is not the "Mixed Poison Body Refining Secret Technique," which has a general outline and the complete first three levels. Instead, it is a secret technique used independently.

Its effects can only be seen and practiced when the body is in a complete state.

However, Chen Yuan was certain that this was a secret technique of body cultivation, and it was related to how to use the power of the physical body.

Although it was impossible to see the whole picture, it was clear that this secret technique was extremely ingenious, so I put it away.

Over the past two years, he has been studying these two secret techniques every day and has completely mastered the first three levels of the "Mixed Poison Body Refining Secret Technique". He is only waiting to refine the miraculous poison liquid so that he can temper his physical body.

Although he couldn't cultivate this incomplete secret technique, he still gained some insights from it and actually mastered a method that could make his physical body double in size.

However, this method can only change the body shape and cannot enhance physical strength. Its only advantage is that it consumes very little true energy, which can be almost ignored.

It was this method that reminded Chen Yuan of two secret techniques he had once practiced: the "Giant Spirit Body" secret technique, which greatly helped him during the Foundation Establishment stage, and the nameless secret technique he obtained from Ancestor Yuntian.

Both of these secret techniques can increase the size of the physical body and enhance its strength; they are extremely similar, as if they originated from the same source.

Moreover, after studying the incomplete secret technique for two years, Chen Yuan discovered that this secret technique was somewhat similar to the other two secret techniques, but there were also many differences.

However, before obtaining the complete secret technique, Chen Yuan could not determine the relationship between the incomplete secret technique and the other two secret techniques.

However, Chen Yuan was no longer able to continue his comprehension. Under his orders, the Nascent Soul cultivators guarding Fulong Island had already found five Level 1 Flood Dragons.

The deadline agreed upon by Chen Yuan, Qin Wuyai, and the other two has arrived. (End of Chapter)
