Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

Ye Wendi groaned for a moment and shook his head slightly: "If Fellow Daoist Chen hadn't told me today, I would still be in the dark and have no idea where I am."

Chen Yuan frowned. Now that the three of them were trapped in the secret realm, Zhang Wushan and Ye Wendi should not hide anything.

Perhaps it is because their cultivation is too low that they are unable to access such ancient secrets.

Perhaps even the sect behind it doesn't know about the Yuling Sect.

He then asked, "The Jiuli Sect is now outside the secret realm, watching closely and ready to break in at any time. We must leave this place as soon as possible."

"Brother Zhang and Fellow Daoist Ye, do you still remember where you were when you entered the secret realm? Is there any spatial turbulence left?"

In that "trial ground", Chen Yuan killed seven ferocious beasts in succession and reaped a lot of rewards, which made him look forward to the other treasures left by the Yuling Sect.

But he never forgot the Jiuli sect monks outside the secret realm, and the demon cultivator who was about to arrive.

No matter how many demon pills and treasures you have, they are far less precious than your life.

Now that he knew there were other ways to enter the secret realm, Chen Yuan forced himself to suppress the greed in his heart and look for an opportunity to leave the secret realm.

But Zhang Wushan sighed: "Brother Chen wants to leave this place, and so do I and Fellow Daoist Ye."

“But the two of us have explored the secret place countless times and found nothing strange, let alone any spatial turbulence.”

"Over the past few decades, we have traveled thousands of miles to find a way to escape. We have encountered nearly ten ferocious beasts, but to no avail. We can only hide in a remote place to practice in seclusion."

"If it weren't for the strange phenomenon that happened yesterday, we would still be practicing in the cave and there would be no chance for us to meet Brother Chen."

"A natural phenomenon..." Chen Yuan pondered for a moment, "It should be due to the opening of the secret realm. Did the phenomenon occur at 9:00 yesterday?"

Zhang Wushan nodded and said, "Yes, yesterday at 9:00 p.m., a thousand-foot spiritual light suddenly erupted from the depths of the secret realm, and a storm of spiritual energy swept across, awakening Fellow Daoist Ye and I from our trance."

"That spiritual energy storm contained a pure spiritual energy. After it entered my body, my cultivation increased a lot, which was enough to offset several years of hard training."

"We have been trapped here for a long time, and suddenly something strange happened. We don't want to stay here any longer, so we set out to go deep into the secret realm."

"But when we passed through the territory of an eighth-level beast, we found that the beast had disappeared..."

Chen Yuan's mind moved: "What kind of beast is that level eight beast?"

Ye Wendi said: "It is an eighth-level black poisonous anaconda, very ferocious."

"Black poisonous anaconda?" Chen Yuan's eyes fixed, and he turned to look at Ye Wendi, "Fellow Daoist Ye, are you sure?"

Ye Wendi nodded: "Of course, the black anaconda also left behind a snake slough..."

He briefly recounted the story of how he and Zhang Wushan discovered the black anaconda skin, and Chen Yuan's expression became more solemn.

Zhang Wushan asked in confusion: "Brother Chen, do you intend to kill this black poisonous anaconda? Unfortunately, the beast has disappeared and it is hard to find any trace of it..."

Chen Yuan slowly shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Brother Zhang has misunderstood. I have already killed that black poisonous anaconda."

Zhang Wushan was stunned: "Brother Chen, what do you mean by this?"

A trace of doubt flashed across Ye Wendi's eyes, but Chen Yuan did not answer immediately. Instead, he asked, "Besides this black poisonous anaconda, have any other ferocious beasts disappeared along the way?"

Zhang Wushan was surprised and asked, "How did Brother Chen know? In addition to the black poisonous anaconda, there was also a giant toad with a hundred eyes, which has also disappeared."

"Afterwards, Fellow Daoist Ye and I passed by three or four places that were suspected to be the nests of ferocious beasts, but the ferocious beasts were nowhere to be seen."

"We have been safe and sound all the way to this huge bronze tower and met Brother Chen..."

He recounted in detail what he had seen and heard along the way. Chen Yuan's face was as gloomy as water, and he suddenly took out a wooden box from the space inside his body.

He opened the lid of the box, revealing a black demon pill with an uneven surface, and said in a deep voice: "Please look, the demon pill of the black poisonous anaconda is here." Both of them were stunned. Chen Yuan did not stop, took out another wooden box and opened the lid.

"That giant toad with a hundred eyes has also been killed by me."

The two of them looked intently, their eyes fell on the demon pill in the wooden box that was as white and crystal as a pearl, with a layer of hazy glow, and their minds fell into a trance.

After three breaths, Zhang Wushan suddenly woke up, leaned back slightly, and quickly looked away: "It's just a demon pill, but it has the ability to confuse the soul. It must have been left by the Hundred-Eyed Giant Toad!"

Ye Wendi let out a long breath and calmed his mind. "I have seen the demon pill of the Hundred-Eyed Giant Toad in the sect's illustrations. It is exactly the same as this demon pill. Where did Brother Chen kill it?"

The two of them looked up at Chen Yuan, their eyes full of inquiry.

Chen Yuan no longer concealed anything and told everything about his experience in the "Trial Ground", except for his own methods and the details of his fight with the monsters.

But just this was enough to shock the two of them.

Zhang Wushan murmured, "Brother Chen, you mean that you killed seven beasts in a row in that 'trial ground', six of which were level nine beasts?"

Chen Yuan said: "The beasts are not intelligent, and the 'trial ground' is only a thousand feet in radius, so it is not difficult to deal with it."

Zhang Wushan shook his head repeatedly: "No matter how easy it is to deal with, it is still a ninth-level beast, and its bloodline is extremely powerful. Ordinary Yuanying cultivators are no match for three or two of them."

"If the Black Poison Anaconda and Hundred-Eyed Giant Toad Demon Pills were not right in front of us, Brother Chen would never brag about himself."

"I can't believe that Brother Chen has accomplished such a great feat all by himself."

Ye Wendi frowned and said, "Since Fellow Daoist Chen can easily kill a level nine beast, has he already broken through the bottleneck in the middle stage?"

Just now, when Chen Yuan described the battle with the burly man and the Jiuli Sect outside the secret realm, he was a little vague and omitted many details. Neither of them could hear what his current cultivation level was.

But the nine ferocious beasts were killed one after another by him, which was definitely not something a cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage could do.

Chen Yuan nodded slightly: "I had some luck and got a few thousand-year-old spiritual herbs for body tempering, and I was lucky enough to break through a level in my cultivation."

Ye Wendi stared at Chen Yuan for a long time without saying anything, and suddenly sighed: "I am not as good as you."

Chen Yuan said: "Chen is just relying on his advantage as a physical cultivator. He only needs to strengthen his physical body and has no bottlenecks, so he is one step ahead."

"Fellow Daoist Ye is a great disciple of a great sect. He has an orthodox sword technique and a solid foundation. His future achievements will surely be far superior to Chen's."

Ye Wendi shook his head slightly: "I know myself well. I am no match for Fellow Daoist Chen if we are of the same level of cultivation."

If he had also cultivated to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, it would not be difficult for him to kill a level nine ferocious beast in a small space if he put all his effort into it.

But it is absolutely impossible for him to kill six level nine ferocious beasts in succession in one day like Chen Yuan did.

Not to mention that Chen Yuan had already cultivated to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul less than a hundred years after he formed his Nascent Soul, so he could hardly even compare to him.

Chen Yuan said: "Fellow Daoist Ye, you are too kind. These are insignificant. The most urgent task is to find out why those ferocious beasts appeared in the 'trial ground'."

Zhang Wushan pondered for a moment and said, "Those beasts can't just disappear out of thin air. This secret realm is so vast and rich in spiritual energy. It's very likely that an ancient Yuling Sect cultivator has survived and survived to this day. Could it be that someone is controlling it from behind?"

Chen Yuan shook his head: "If there are really people alive in the secret realm, they would have contacted you two long ago, and they would not sit idly by and watch the Jiuli Sect set up a formation on Xuangui Island to break the secret realm's restrictions."

Ye Wendi also said: "Fellow Daoist Chen just said that he has nothing to do with the Yuling Sect, but the Jiuli Sect has inherited part of the Yuling Sect's traditions, and under the conspiracy of that incarnation demon cultivator, they have successively collected five tokens of the Yuling Sect's elders, which are far better than the one in Fellow Daoist Chen's hand."

"If the Yuling Sect's inheritance has been continued in the secret realm, why did they open the secret realm in advance and only take Fellow Daoist Chen in, while ignoring the Jiuli Sect's cultivators?"

Zhang Wushan frowned, "So, could it be that after the secret realm was opened, the 'Trial Land' also underwent a change, and took these nine ferocious beasts in?" (End of this chapter)
