Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

Amidst the white fog, a fierce battle has reached its final stage.

It seems inappropriate to call it a fierce battle. One side had the upper hand and had forced his opponent into a desperate situation.

Chen Yuan's wings vibrated continuously, and he kept performing the teleportation technique, chasing after a green afterimage.

The Zixu Sword crisscrossed the space of hundreds of feet. The sword light was fierce, leaving countless sword energy tracks in the air, weaving a net that covered the sky and the earth, enveloping the green afterimage.

Suddenly, the green afterimage was forced by the Zixu Sword, and its body paused to reveal its true appearance. It turned out to be a giant green bat several meters in size, covered with terrifying fur.

Chen Yuan seized the opportunity and teleported behind the green afterimage. His fist was as sharp as a knife, and his right hand covered with a sharp black blade swept across the green giant bat and cut off one of its bat wings.

The giant blue bat opened its mouth wide, and a silent but extremely harsh vibration was transmitted to Chen Yuan's ears, causing his soul to shake slightly and making him extremely uncomfortable.

He frowned, grabbed with his left hand, and as fast as lightning, stabbed deeply into the giant bat's vitals, with one arm completely inserted into its body, ending its life.

The harsh vibration finally disappeared. Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to himself, "This kind of giant blue bat is not even recorded in the monster atlas. It must have been extinct in ancient times."

"Not only has this beast mastered the art of teleportation, but the sound it makes can also directly attack the soul. Even great monks find it difficult to deal with it..."

He pointed and the Zixu Sword fell, taking out the demon pill from the giant green bat's body, and cutting off the bat's wings, bat claws and other materials, and collected them together.

Most of the space inside Chen Yuan's body was already filled with various monster materials and a huge fiery red lizard.

The space occupied by all the other monster materials combined is not as large as that occupied by the corpse of this ferocious beast.

Fortunately, the two wings of the giant blue bat only look huge, and after being folded up, they do not occupy a lot of space.

After dealing with the corpse of the giant green bat, Chen Yuan put away the Zixu Sword, turned around, and flew towards the teleportation array behind the giant bronze pillar.

There was a hint of anticipation in his eyes, and he murmured, "I wonder what kind of monster I'll encounter next..."

Starting from the black poisonous anaconda, to the cold flame monster, the hundred-eyed giant toad, and finally to this giant green bat, Chen Yuan killed nine ferocious beasts in succession.

All of them have powerful bloodlines and are species that have long been extinct in the outside world. The materials on their bodies are also priceless.

The giant toad with a hundred eyes looks huge and powerful, but in fact it relies on the hundred eyes around its body to emit a gray and confusing divine light to confuse the mind and soul, which is somewhat similar to the method used by the giant blue bat.

When the ninth-level Hundred-Eyed Giant Toad exerts its full strength, its hundred eyes emit confusing divine light, which is enough to make an early Nascent Soul cultivator fall into an illusion and turn him into a walking corpse.

Even a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul would become confused, and the giant toad would take the opportunity to swallow him into its stomach with its long tongue, leaving no trace of his body.

But the Hundred-Eyed Giant Toad has a fatal weakness. If the opponent's soul is too powerful and the confusing divine light loses its effect, it will have no other means to defend against the enemy and will be no match for an ordinary eighth-level monster.

In front of Chen Yuan's consciousness, which was comparable to that of a great cultivator, the power of the hundred-eyed giant toad's chaotic demonic light was greatly reduced, and it couldn't even make Chen Yuan dazed for a moment, and he was easily killed by him.

The demon pill and the most important demon eye of the Hundred-Eyed Giant Toad were also taken into his pocket.

Among the hundred eyes on the Hundred-Eyed Giant Toad, only the first one it is born with is the most important. Ninety percent of the power of its confusing divine light comes from this.

If this demon eye fell into the hands of a Nascent Soul cultivator who specialized in illusion, its value would be comparable to that of top-grade spiritual materials. Whether it was used to refine magic weapons or added into one's own magic weapon, it would be enough to increase the power of the illusions he possessed by 30%.

After killing the hundred-eyed giant toad, Chen Yuan encountered a ninth-level earth spirit rhinoceros, which was also a monster that had long been extinct in the outside world.

This creature is about three meters tall, covered with moss all over its body, with a single horn on its forehead wrapped with ochre-colored spiritual patterns. It is known for its strong body and has mastered the rare immortal body ability among the monster clan. It is extremely difficult to deal with among the ninth-level monsters.

According to the Monster Atlas, before the Earth Spirit Rhino became extinct, it often took three or four cultivators in the middle Nascent Soul stage to be sure of killing it.

However, Tu Lingxi has a gentle temperament. He spends most of his life practicing in the veins of the earth with rich earth spiritual energy. As long as you don't provoke it, it will not take the initiative to fight with others.

This characteristic of the Earth Spirit Xi allows the human cultivators to surround and kill it with ease.

As far back as ancient times, earth spirit rhinoceros was already extremely rare.

Ten thousand years ago, they were finally extinct.

But the Earth Spirit Rhino that Chen Yuan met was quite different. After the white mist entered its body, it became violent and crazy.

It took the initiative to attack Chen Yuan, fearless and unafraid of death, just like the monsters Chen Yuan encountered in the Demon Realm.

Faced with Tu Lingxi, who had mastered the magical power of the immortal body, Chen Yuan had no choice but to use the Black Blade magical power and the Purple Void Sword to cut off its limbs and continue to fight with it.

An hour later, Tu Lingxi used his immortal body ability too many times, causing his demonic power to be greatly damaged and his recovery from injuries to slow down.

He then seized the opportunity and killed it.

The fifth ferocious beast Chen Yuan encountered was a six-legged fire lizard.

There was boiling magma flowing in an area of ​​a hundred feet in radius beneath his feet. The jade bricks were cracking and gray smoke with a faint smell of sulfur was rising. The air was hot and sticky, but only the white mist remained the same, not affected at all.

This kind of monster is even rarer than the Earth Spirit Beast. As long as it survives the thunder tribulation, it can condense a wisp of Binghuo essence, and wherever it goes, it will turn into a fire area.

The stronger the six-legged fire lizard is, the purer this strand of fire essence will become.

The Binghuo essence in the ninth-level six-legged fire lizard demon pill is enough to allow a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator who practices fire-attributed techniques to increase his cultivation by thirty years. His foundation will also be more solid, and his chances of breaking through the bottleneck of the late stage will be much greater.

Because of this wisp of fire essence, the six-legged fire lizard was on the verge of extinction as early as ancient times.

Chen Yuan had only seen a few simple descriptions of the six-legged fire lizard in the monster encyclopedia. Even its appearance was described by later cultivators based on ancient texts.

Chen Yuan did not recognize this monster at first, until it spit out a flame containing a weak essence of fire, then he finally confirmed that the ferocious beast in front of him that was in a rage was the legendary six-legged fire lizard.

Its entire body is like a carving of blood jade, with magma flowing between the scales on its back, and the tip of its tail forked into three fire whips, which exploded in the air with thunderous sounds.

The strangest thing is the protruding fleshy crown on its forehead, which is shaped like a tripod and contains a cluster of spiritual fire.

The six-legged fire lizard was originally violent in nature. After the white mist entered its body, it became even more ferocious, and as soon as it opened its mouth it spat out its precious innate demon fire.

Chen Yuan didn't want to confront the mad six-legged fire lizard head-on, as that would only be a waste of his true energy.

He first used the art of teleportation to temporarily avoid the sharp sword, then stimulated the true blood of Kuiniu, and cast the Sky Thunder Technique with half the power weakened, killing it.

The six-legged fire lizard was full of treasures, so Chen Yuan simply put its entire body into the space inside his body.

Fortunately, after his physical body and cultivation level broke through, the space inside his body expanded to ten feet in radius, enough to accommodate an entire six-legged fire lizard.

After killing the six-legged fire lizard, Chen Yuan was no longer in a hurry to leave this strange place. He began to secretly hope that he would encounter some rare monsters.

Outside the secret realm, he wanted to use the ninth-level demon pill to refine elixirs. He either had to go deep into the wilderness and spend a lot of time and effort to find the demon king's cave, or he could invite fellow practitioners and join forces with the Tianji Sect to launch a war of genocide.

Here, you only need to step onto the teleportation array, and a ninth-level monster with powerful bloodline will come to your door.

Not only is the ninth-level demon essence pill refined from his demon pill extremely pure in spiritual energy, but the demon beast materials on his body are also treasures rarely seen in the outside world.

Moreover, these monsters, which are extremely powerful due to their powerful bloodlines and difficult to deal with in the outside world, for some reason, have only simple intelligence in the secret realm, and have become ferocious beasts with only instincts left. They are extremely easy to deal with, making it an absolute treasure land.

When Chen Yuan stepped onto the teleportation array for the fifth time, he was not disappointed.

The sixth demon beast was a two-headed wind falcon, whose bloodline was even stronger than that of a golden-feathered eagle, and comparable to a dragon and a Kun fish. This kind of demon beast was born as a second-level demon beast, mastering the wind escape technique. After adulthood, it became a fifth-level demon beast, able to move freely in the strong wind at a height of ten thousand feet.

Not only that, the two-headed wind falcon is proficient in wind-attributed magical powers, and its strength is so strong that it has few rivals among monsters of the same level.

Unfortunately, the space here is too small, only a thousand feet in radius, and the two-headed wind falcon cannot move.

The white mist entered his body again, corroding his already simple mind and turning him into a violent and ferocious man.

He only knew how to attack fiercely, without making full use of the agility advantage of the wind-attributed monster.

Chen Yuan killed him without any effort.

After that, it was the turn of the giant green bat. It killed seven monsters that had become extinct in the outside world. Chen Yuan was full of anticipation as he stepped onto the teleportation array for the seventh time.

A white light lit up and flowed unsteadily. After three breaths, Chen Yuan's figure disappeared.

When the slight feeling of weightlessness disappeared, Chen Yuan came to his senses, but the scene before him was unexpected.

The ground was still paved with jade tiles and the surroundings were still filled with white mist, but it was ten times smaller than the place Chen Yuan had been to before, only a hundred feet in radius.

There were no monsters under the giant bronze pillar, but there was a stone tablet standing there with a blank surface.

Looking up, the bronze dome above was no longer covered by the white mist, and gradually shrank towards the middle, converging at the top of the giant bronze pillar to form a spire, as if one was on the top of an attic or in a pagoda.

Chen Yuan was stunned when he didn't see the ferocious beast he was expecting, and a feeling of loss arose in his heart.

He pondered for a moment, then spread out his spiritual sense and scanned the surface of the stone tablet.

The stone tablet was about three feet tall, grayish white all over, and as smooth as a mirror, reflecting Chen Yuan's figure clearly.

Next to the stone tablet, there is a stone platform of the same height, on which is placed a jade plate, which is empty.

Chen Yuan's spiritual sense swept across the stone tablet and found nothing. He then swept across the jade plate and found nothing again.

Chen Yuan pondered for a moment and tried a few more times, but the stone tablet and jade plate were as quiet as before.

He frowned slightly, turned around, flew into the white mist, and looked around.

Every time after killing a monster, he would enter the white mist and search it carefully, not missing any corner, not caring about the tediousness at all.

Although he really wanted to kill a few more level nine beasts, caution had become his instinct and he would never let it go. He was always looking for an exit to leave this strange place.

But after Chen Yuan walked around, he found that the bronze walls here were as solid as before and completely indestructible.

Helplessly, he could only return to the front of the stone tablet.

But spiritual exploration is useless for the stone tablet. Chen Yuan lowered his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly took a few steps forward, raised his hand and placed it on the surface of the stone tablet, injecting a trace of true energy into the stone tablet.

The stone tablet lit up slightly, and Chen Yuan's heart moved. His true energy rushed out from his dantian and poured into the stone tablet.

The surface of the stone tablet became brighter and brighter. After a while, several lines of inscriptions suddenly appeared from right to left and from top to bottom.

Chen Yuan stared at it, but the lines of inscription seemed to be shrouded in a layer of smoke, making them vague and difficult to distinguish.

After a while, the inscription finally became clear.

"Disciples of our sect who pass the fourth level of the trial will be rewarded with three bottles of Qiong Yuan Dan."

"Disciples of our sect who pass the fifth level of the trial will be rewarded with three bottles of Qiong Yuan Dan and a Xuan-level spirit beast."

"Disciples of our sect who pass the sixth level of the trial will be awarded a Golden Wind Jade Dew Pill and an Earth-level Spiritual Beast."

"Disciples of our sect who pass the seventh level of the trial will be rewarded with a Golden Wind Jade Dew Pill, an Earth-level Spirit Beast, and a drop of Nether Dragon Saliva."

There were only four lines in total on the stele. After it fully emerged, the jade plate on the stone platform next to it suddenly lit up.

Chen Yuan immediately became alert and turned to look over.

The light in the jade plate was warm and soft, and it faded away after a few breaths.

Chen Yuan looked carefully and found that the jade plate was still empty, with no changes.

Chen Yuan let out a light exclamation and pointed at the jade plate. His true energy poured out, but the jade plate still did not respond.

He withdrew his true energy and moved his gaze back to the stone tablet. He stared at the few lines of inscriptions and couldn't help but feel deep doubts in his heart.

Chen Yuan didn't know what exactly these treasures were: Qiongyuan Dan, Xuan-level spirit beast, Di-level spirit beast, and Minglong Saliva.

But he had heard of the Golden Wind Jade Dew Pill and had even seen it with his own eyes at the Fan Yang auction.

This kind of elixir can condense golden wind and jade dew in the body of the cultivator, resist the burning of Yin Fire, and safely pass through the Yin Fire calamity. It is a sacred object for forming a baby.

For a Jindan cultivator, the Golden Wind Jade Dew Pill is a priceless treasure.

Among the cultivators who failed to reach the Nascent Soul stage, at least 90% died from the Yin Fire Tribulation.

Of the remaining 10%, nine died from heavenly thunder.

It was only at the last moment that I was lost in the illusion of my inner demons.

As long as they can get a pill of Golden Wind Jade Dew Pill, they are willing to spend all their money.

But in the eyes of a Nascent Soul cultivator, the Golden Wind Jade Dew Pill is useless and is not as good as a thousand-year-old spiritual herb.

In this "trial ground", each layer has at least eighth-level ferocious beasts, and most of them are even ninth-level ferocious beasts. Moreover, they all have powerful bloodlines and extraordinary strength. Ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators are no match for them.

Anyone who can pass one level of trial is at least a strong one among the Nascent Soul cultivators. Why would the Yuling Sect use the Golden Wind Jade Dew Pill as a reward?
Unless the Qiong Yuan Dan, Xuan-level monsters, Earth-level monsters, Heaven-level monsters and Nether Dragon Saliva are extremely precious, even Nascent Soul cultivators would flock to them and be willing to fight with eighth-level ferocious beasts for them.

But if these treasures are really so precious, how could they be listed alongside the Golden Wind Jade Dew Pill?
Could it be that in ancient times, the Golden Wind Jade Dew Pill had some unknown effects and was far more precious than it is now?

Or is it that the Golden Wind Jade Dew Pill mentioned in the inscription is not the same kind of pill as the Golden Wind Jade Dew Pill we have today?
Chen Yuan frowned, puzzled.

It was a pity that when he was on Tongtian Island, he did not ask the green-robed formation spirit more about the matters concerning the Yuling Sect.

After a long time, Chen Yuan shook his head and stopped worrying about it.

He stepped on the ground and lightly crossed dozens of feet to arrive in front of the teleportation array behind the giant bronze pillar.

Since there are no more ferocious beasts in this "trial ground", it is time to leave.

Chen Yuan stepped onto the teleportation array and a white light lit up.

This time it was particularly long. After ten breaths, the white light finally faded away and Chen Yuan disappeared. (End of this chapter)
