Who is still a serious fox monster these days

Chapter 565: The Fourth Palace Array Spirit

Shi Han's face was stiff, he gritted his teeth and said:

"I swear by my own bloodline that if I tell anyone about what happened today, I will be burned to death by the blood of my ancestors."

After saying that, she clenched her fists in her sleeves in annoyance.

As a descendant of the Phoenix, she is proud and arrogant.

Therefore, even though she knew that Chen Yuan was already in the late Eight-Tails stage, she still dared to cause trouble for Chen Yuan.

But after seeing that Chen Yuan killed the star official and had the immortal weapon, Taoist talisman, and the unknown spiritual wood in his hand, she finally lowered her head.

Hearing this, Chen Yuan smiled and put away the Taoist talisman and the Jianmu seedling. He then gently waved the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan in his hand and said:

"I trust you two, but I haven't seen you for a long time. I really miss the time when we explored the secret realm together."

Zhu Long and Shi Han's faces changed slightly, thinking that Chen Yuan was unwilling to let them go, and were about to use various means to escape, but Chen Yuan changed the subject and said:
"But the one I am most concerned about is Hu Ding. I wonder if you two Taoist friends have heard any news about him in the past few years?"

Seeing that Chen Yuan was not going to take action, Zhu Long felt relieved and shook his head.
"That day, I heard from Brother Yuan that Hu Ding was not dead. After I came out of retreat after recuperating, I tried to find out about him, but there was no news about him."

"Me too." Shi Han nodded with a cold face.

"That's such a shame."

Chen Yuan shook his head, then took out the Suzaku Blood that Zhu Long had given him and said:
"Are you interested in this drop of Vermillion Bird blood?"

Zhu Long immediately recognized that this was the Suzaku blood that he had exchanged with Chen Yuan before, and said with a slight emotion in his heart:
"Brother Yuan, what do you mean?"

Chen Yuan did not respond immediately, but turned to look at Shi Han.

Shi Han hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't resist the attraction of the blood essence of the Phoenix descendant, and said with a puzzled look on his face:
"What do you want us to do?"

"To be honest, before I left this world last time, I had an agreement with Lord Cangmu Dragon."

"However, this appointment is a little strange, and I am not completely sure about it, so I would like to ask the two of you to come and help."

Having said this, he looked at Shi Han and said:

"I remember that Fairy Shi Han also wanted to refine the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan. I wonder if she has collected enough feathers now?"

When mentioning this, Shi Han looked a little embarrassed.

She had been thinking about the romance with Wu Qing'er these days and had completely forgotten about finding Lingyu.

Seeing her expression, Chen Yuan smiled and said:
"After learning that Fairy Shi Han wanted to refine the treasure fan, I brought one of the remaining owl feathers with me when I returned to my own realm during this period."

"If the fairy doesn't like this Vermillion Bird's blood, I can also use this evil bird's feather as an exchange."

After saying that, Chen Yuan took out an owl feather.

However, I saw that it was sealed with a talisman, but I could still sense a strong sense of foreboding.

Shi Han stammered, but finally said with a vigilant look:
"With your cultivation and means, you still seek help from me and Zhu Long. What is the agreement between you and Cang Mulong?"

Hearing this, Zhu Long, who had been thinking about agreeing, couldn't help but nodded and said:

"Yes, Brother Yuan, if you don't explain the matter clearly, Fairy Shi Han and I will not dare to agree to this matter casually."

"This matter involves a lot of people. It's fine if you don't know about it, but if you do know about it, I'm afraid you'll be involved in the cause and effect here. It's better not to ask."

Chen Yuan shook his head and said:

"I don't ask anything of you. All you need to do is attack me once when you feel that I am not in the right state."

"Afterwards, I will send you this blood essence and feather."

Hearing this, Shi Han became even more alert.

Although Chen Yuan's killing of the star official seemed to have been an ambush in advance, he seemed to be at ease and obviously did not use his full strength.

A person like him was actually worried that his suicide would fail, so he wanted to use their power to activate the substitute dead creatures.

After a moment's silence, she shook her head:

"Forget it. I won't participate."

After saying that, regardless of Zhu Long's eye contact or voice transmission, she nodded slightly to Chen Yuan, then turned into a stream of green fire and dissipated.

Seeing her leave so decisively, Zhu Long couldn't help but sigh and said, "Fairy Shi Han is really cautious."

"So what does Brother Zhu mean?" Chen Yuan turned to look at him and put away the owl feather.

After thinking for a moment, Zhu Long gritted his teeth and said:

"Although the Cangmu Dragon has some skills, I think it is not as good as yours, Brother Yuan. Besides, Old Zhu really needs the blood of the Vermillion Bird."

Hearing this, Chen Yuan raised his lips slightly and said, "Then I would like to thank Brother Zhu in advance."

After saying this, Chen Yuan blinked at the clouds in the sky, and a flaming sun divine light appeared on his body. He said:
"Without further delay, we will head to Xianlin Mountain."

Zhu Long nodded, and flames appeared on his body. He and Chen Yuan rushed to Xianlin Mountain one after another.

And behind them, a pink cloud hidden in the night, followed quietly.

Chen Yuan and the other man did not restrain their auras. Before they reached Xianlin Mountain, Cang Mulong, who had long since ended his retreat, sensed something and extended his spiritual sense to look at the newcomers.

But they saw that the leader was a strange man, followed by the big demon Zhu Long.

He frowned, but withdrew his consciousness.

I don't know this person, so I think he was recommended by Zhu Long to come here to borrow the teleportation array and let the plant puppets in the mountains guide him.

Just as he was thinking this, the strange man in the lead flew into the formation with ease.

The path he took was exactly the secret key of his Mu Xin Yang Tian Formation, as if he was very familiar with it.

He was startled, and immediately urged the formation to reverse, turning it into the Withered Tree Sky-Destroying Formation.

Merging with the veins of the mountain, the formation spirit transformed into a green dragon, roared to the sky, and its entire body turned into pieces of withered and yellow wood, with an air of decay and failure.

In an instant, the Xianlin Mountain changed from a lush and verdant mountain filled with spring to a dead place where life was fading.

"Brother Yuan, this is the reversal of the seventh-order wood element formation of Cangmu Dragon Lord. Are you really sure?"

Zhu Long, who was following Chen Yuan, broke out in a cold sweat, and the vitality in his body was uncontrollably sucked into the formation.

"Don't worry, just follow me."

Chen Yuan curled the corners of his mouth slightly, changed his feet, and continued climbing in a different direction.

Zhu Long only felt that his position had changed, and the vitality in his body suddenly stopped flowing. He could not help but say in amazement:
"Brother Yuan was able to see through Cang Mulong's seventh-order wood-element formation at a glance! Could it be that Brother Yuan has some kind of spiritual eyes that can break through formations, or is he born with a spiritual body that can break formations?"

Chen Yuan did not respond, but suddenly stood still:
"Does Lord Long still recognize me?"

As he spoke, the features on his face changed to the same as when he met Cang Mu Long Jun that year.

Cang Mulong, who had teleported here, was stunned for a moment when he saw this, then laughed loudly:

“I was wondering which immortal had descended to the Earth and was able to enter my Wood Heart Nurturing Heaven Formation and Dead Wood Absolute Heaven Formation as if no one was around. It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Tianqu!”

"Long time no see. I hope you are well, Lord Long." Chen Yuan smiled and bowed.

"I haven't made much progress, but Fellow Daoist Tianqu has made great progress in his cultivation, which is cause for celebration."

As Cang Mulong spoke, he raised his hand and led the way to the top of the mountain:

"Why don't you come to my pavilion and have a chat?"

"The guest should follow the host's wishes and listen to Lord Long's arrangements. However, Daoist Zhu Long came here with me, so we must go together."

"Of course, please." Although Cangmu Dragon King didn't understand why he had to bring Zhu Long, since Chen Yuan had asked, he naturally would not refuse.

With the help of the formation, the three of them moved to the attic on the top of the mountain together.

Sitting on a wooden chair, Cang Mulong raised his hand, and a wooden cup grew out of the ground, with fragrant wood juice constantly gushing out of it.

"Two fellow Taoists, please."

After a simple exchange of polite words, Cang Mulong finally couldn't help but speak:

"What is the purpose of Daoist Fellow Tianqu's visit this time?"

"That's what Lord Long has been thinking about."

Chen Yuan put down the wooden cup and said seriously:
"After hearing what Lord Long said that day, I went back to inquire about it and learned some secrets of the past."

"The one who left the divination to Lord Long, perhaps his target is me."

Cang Mu Long Jun twisted his beard and asked curiously, "Oh? What do you mean?"

"As fate would have it, nearly half of my abilities were inherited from that person's incarnation."

"Incarnation inheritance?" Cangmu Dragon Lord frowned and was about to ask something when Chen Yuan continued:
"I do have a fairy formation on my body, and I do need a formation spirit. If you want to enter this formation, you must follow my instructions."

"Fellow Daoist Tianqu, please tell me." When this matter was mentioned, Cang Mulong's expression turned serious.

"This immortal formation on my body is embedded in my soul and body, and is inseparable from me. Therefore, if someone with ulterior motives enters this formation, I may be doomed at any time."

"Therefore, before entering the formation, the Dragon Lord must swear an oath."

"In this life, you must not have any evil thoughts towards me. Even if my spirit is scattered and my will is gone, the charm of the Jiamu spirit cannot harm me."

Chen Yuan said this with a serious face, and Zhu Long beside him couldn't help but drink two big gulps of wood juice to relieve the shock brought by what he saw and heard.

If Chen Yuan hadn't said that this matter involved too many things and that if he asked too much he would be dragged into the cause and effect, he would have been unable to resist asking.

The dignified Lord Cangmu Dragon was born from the essence of Jiamu wood, which would have been an innate spirit in ancient times.

After living in Yuelingtian for countless years, is this kind of person willing to be a formation spirit?
What kind of world is this? No, no, what kind of luck is this? On what kind of good fortune did I have to have such an opportunity?

He really wanted to ask, but in the end he drank two large cups and didn't dare to say anything.

But Lord Cangmu Long didn't say a word and swore an oath with a serious face as Chen Yuan said.

Seeing this, Chen Yuan nodded slightly, and then the formation pattern and nine formation eyes of the Nine Palace Yang Shen Tongtian Formation appeared on his body.

Now, among the nine formation eyes, the first three are dazzling and emitting different Taoist rhymes.

The rhyme of the first formation is exactly the same as Chen Yuan's, like his twin spirit.

The second formation eye exudes majestic dragon energy, as if there is a nine-turn heavenly dragon within it.

The third array's center was filled with chaos, as if a chaos was hidden there.

"Except for the formation spirit in the first palace which is a special spirit, the formation spirits I have collected in this formation have not had their minds wiped out, but have retained their original selves."

"If Lord Dragon enters this formation, it will be the same. However, the one who taught Lord Dragon back then is a top-notch master in the world, so I have to be on guard."

"Therefore, before entering the formation, the Dragon Lord must be restrained by the formation spirits of the first three palaces. If there is any abnormal movement, it will be restricted by the formation spirits of the first three palaces."

Cang Mulong frowned when he heard this. He thought that taking the oath was enough, but he didn't expect there would be such a requirement.

But he nodded quickly. After all, he only had a few decades left to live and he couldn't afford to think too much.

When Chen Yuan saw that he agreed, he thought about it and let the companion spirits, the evil dragon and Lin Shao, as well as the Five Elements Ghost Monkey King fly out together.

"Please give me the soul contract and hand it over to the formation spirits of these three palaces."

Having thought it through, Cang Mulong did not delay and immediately split his soul into three, using them as a guide to form three soul contracts, which he pushed to the front of the array spirits of the three palaces.

"This soul contract is only for emergency use. You must not use it to attack the Dragon King."

"Yes!"

The array spirits of the three palaces responded in unison, put away the soul contracts, and flew back to the Nine Palaces Yangshen Tongtian Array.

Although Cang Mulong knew that Chen Yuan was just pretending to do this, he still bowed to Chen Yuan:

"Does Fellow Daoist Tianqu have any other conditions?"

Chen Yuan stared at him for a moment, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry for the offense, I hope Lord Long won't blame me."

"No, if it were me, I would also be so cautious."

Cang Mulong waved his hand. From Chen Yuan's cautious attitude, he guessed that the person who had instructed him back then was the current Emperor Donghua himself, and not some disciple.

Seeing that he had no grudges, Chen Yuan cupped his hands, hid his soul in the Mountain God Seal, and his blood and energy flowed to the center of the fourth palace:
"Please invite Lord Dragon to enter the battle formation."

Cang Mulong nodded, took one last look inside and outside the attic, and then his body turned into a ball of green light made of wood, and suddenly flew into the fourth palace formation that Chen Yuan had revealed.

In an instant, a rich essence of Jiamu burst out from Chen Yuan's body.

As majestic as the abyss of the sea, as thick as the vitality gushing out of the earth, Chen Yuan's body was dyed with a layer of blue.

His earth-grade wood spiritual roots gradually improved to heaven-grade.

This improvement is not achieved in an instant, but requires accumulation over time.

Chen Yuan only felt that the energy and blood that had just flowed into the fourth palace was now being repaid thousands of times.

Layer upon layer of Jiamu essence was transformed through the Nine Palace Yangshen Tongtian Formation into majestic Qi and blood power, evolving into wooden spiritual patterns that wandered throughout his body.

After the wooden spiritual patterns spread all over the body, the Dao rhythm emerged naturally and began to accelerate the evolution of the wooden spiritual patterns.

At this moment, his physical cultivation did not stagnate at all, and he rushed directly from the middle stage of the Eight-Tailed Fox to the perfect state of the late stage of the Eight-Tailed Fox.

Even under this endless flow of vitality, he felt a strong itchy sensation behind his buttocks, as if the ninth fox tail was about to burst out.

The improvement in his physical cultivation also made him realize that he had mastered new physical supernatural powers.

Reborn with blood!

With the appearance of this magical power, the ferocity and wildness of his eight-tailed demon fox were diluted by the Taoism of the wood element, and the demonic intent and hostility after being absorbed into the demonic flames were even more dispersed.

He clenched his fists, feeling the power coming from them, and subconsciously glanced at another living creature here, Zhulong.

Zhu Long's face changed drastically, and he was about to stand up and reveal his true form to launch an attack with all his strength, but Chen Yuan withdrew his gaze.

Zhu Long, who was frightened to death, could not help but exhale. When he picked up the wooden cup and wanted to take a sip, he found that the wood juice in the cup was gone.

As the wooden spiritual patterns in Chen Yuan's body became more and more prosperous and his vitality became more and more vigorous, an unknown irritability arose spontaneously.

He knew that this was the result of the improvement of his Wood Element spiritual root, which caused a slight imbalance in his Fire Yang Dao Body that was originally able to completely suppress the Wood Element.

At this moment, he was like adding fuel to a raging fire. The stronger his energy and physical strength became, the more angry he became.

But he did not take any action. He just watched his physical strength improve, his heat grow stronger, and his Qi become more and more explosive.

Finally, after the wooden spiritual pattern in his body evolved to a certain extreme, it resonated with his Fire Yang Taoist body, forming tiny pattern imprints that looked like the afterglow of the sun.

Chen Yuan had seen this seal before; it was on the hibiscus wood that Taoist Wuxian had given him.

As soon as the wood grain appeared, an inexplicable aura emanated from the fourth palace.

It spread rapidly along the formation patterns of the Nine Palace Yang Shen Tongtian Formation... no, it spread rapidly along the hibiscus wood grain that was everywhere in Chen Yuan's body.
