Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

Chen Yuan leaned over, gently stroked Zhang Wushan's face with his right hand, closed his eyes, and his expression became much more peaceful.

Chen Yuan felt better. He raised his sleeve and flicked it. Zhang Wushan's body disappeared and was put into the mustard seed ring.

Chen Yuan's mustard seed ring had been destroyed outside the secret realm. The mustard seed ring in his hand was obtained from the mysterious monk who had passed away.

The space in this mustard seed ring is extremely large, about thirty feet in size. After Zhang Wushan's body was put away, it only occupied a corner.

In addition, the things in the mustard seed ring are quite dazzling.

More than three hundred top-grade spirit stones emitted dense spiritual mist, containing all five elements. There were even more than thirty extremely rare spirit stones with the three attributes of thunder, ice and wind.

Hundreds of jade bottles were scattered around, and no one knew what elixirs were inside them. If they were all Nascent Soul elixirs, even a Spirit Transformation cultivator would be moved.

But this possibility is not high. Chen Yuan swept his spiritual sense over and found that only eight jade bottles were made of thousand-year-old spiritual jade. The materials of the other jade bottles were much worse. The materials stored in them should be elixirs below the Nascent Soul stage.

Dozens of wooden boxes with spirit-sealing talismans on them were neatly placed together. They were made of at least a hundred-year-old spiritual wood.

The seal characters on the soul-sealing talisman are extremely complex. Even if it is not placed in a mustard seed ring, it is enough to ensure that the spiritual energy will not dissipate for tens of thousands of years.

Whether it is spiritual materials and herbs, or other treasures stored therein, they are definitely not ordinary items.

In addition, there are a large number of high-grade spirit stones, mid-grade spirit stones, mid-grade spiritual materials and other cultivation resources that only low-level cultivators can use, numbering tens of thousands or even thousands.

But these are not the most numerous treasures in the mustard seed ring. Tens of thousands of jade slips are piled up like a mountain, which makes the knowledgeable Chen Yuan dumbfounded.

It seemed that what he wore on his hand was not a mustard seed ring, but a sect's treasure house, storing all the sect's heritage.

However, compared with these cultivation resources, spirit stones and jade slips, and natural treasures, there was another thing that particularly attracted Chen Yuan's attention.

This is a stone plate about ten feet in size. In the thirty-six holes around it are thirty-six top-grade spirit stones. Most of the spiritual power in them has been consumed, making them slightly turbid.

On the stone plate, there were mountains, rivers, wastelands and swamps formed by the condensation of illusory spiritual light. There were even ferocious beasts as thin as ants, which were moving through them. They were extremely detailed and lifelike.

There were several areas that were particularly bright. Chen Yuan looked carefully and found that among them were the six peaks and the bronze tower in the core area of ​​the secret realm.

And under the towering mountains in the center of the secret realm, two dragon-like energy veins meander through. They should be the large spiritual veins supporting this secret realm, and there are as many as two of them.

In addition, there are dozens of fine energy veins scattered throughout the secret realm, almost all of which are occupied by ferocious beasts. They should be medium-sized or small spiritual veins.

This is the central array disk that can control the entire secret realm. Chen Yuan originally wanted to give this item along with all the other treasures to the black-robed old man to distract his mind, but after being rejected, he kept it.

Since the old man in black robe had other requests, he didn't need to be polite.

However, Chen Yuan knew in his heart that these things were only temporarily stored in his hands by the old man in black robe.

If he fails to satisfy the black-robed old man's request, all the treasures he has obtained from the secret realm will be taken away by the black-robed old man, and even his life will be in danger.

Therefore, when Chen Yuan saw these treasures, he was not very excited. He just counted them roughly and put them back.

He looked inward at himself, and in his dantian, he saw a giant white-haired ape beating its chest and roaring with murderous intent.

Chen Yuan's Nascent Soul had a serious expression on his face, with clear energy surging around him, as he sat upright in front of the giant ape.

The three true spirit shadows of Kunpeng, Zhuyan and Kuiniu surrounded the white-haired giant ape. Lightning flashed, fire raged, and dark water rolled, trapping the white-haired giant ape tightly.

This white-haired giant ape was transformed from the demon pill of the white ape demon king. It rushed left and right, but it could not break free from the cage. Whenever it was struck by lightning, it was charred all over. Upon closer inspection, the white-haired giant ape looked listless and weak. It seemed to be full of vigor, but in fact it was already at the end of its strength.

It seemed to sense the arrival of Chen Yuan's soul, and suddenly quieted down. All the evil spirit was restrained in an instant. With a flash of light, it transformed into a human form, and came in front of Chen Yuan's Nascent Soul, looking at it across the sea of ​​fire and lightning.

This was a middle-aged scholar, wearing a white robe that was transformed from spiritual light, with an elegant appearance. If Chen Yuan didn't know his background, he would never have thought that this was the remnant soul left behind by a Demon King of Refining Void.

The middle-aged scholar bowed and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, leaving me trapped here is not the right way to entertain guests."

Chen Yuan sneered, his murderous intent clear: "Your Excellency, taking over my body, is this the way to entertain guests?"

At this moment, he wished he could tear the middle-aged scholar into pieces. If it weren't for the golden jade disc protecting his soul, his soul would have been destroyed and his body would have been taken away.

After entering the hall, Chen Yuan had been extremely careful and on guard at all times because of the matter of the Demon Lord's remaining soul. Until he put away the demon pill, he did not encounter any accidents.

The monk who had passed away had no life left, so he felt at ease to remove the mustard seed ring.

But just as his consciousness touched the mustard seed ring, the middle-aged scholar suddenly appeared in his soul space and attacked Chen Yuan's soul with lightning speed!

Chen Yuan was caught off guard and had no time to resist.

Moreover, the middle-aged scholar's soul was too powerful, far superior to Chen Yuan's. It was useless for him to resist, and his soul was about to be destroyed.

At this moment, the golden jade disk shone brightly, and a thin layer of golden light enveloped Chen Yuan's soul, blocking the middle-aged scholar's seemingly unstoppable attack, and it only trembled slightly.

Chen Yuan had escaped death, but was still in shock and immediately launched a counterattack.

However, the gap between Chen Yuan's spirit and that of the middle-aged scholar was too great, and he was completely suppressed by him, and even his physical body was taken away.

Fortunately, with the protection of golden light, Chen Yuan's life was safe. He huddled in a corner, struggling to hold on.

He couldn't control his body, but he was still very aware of what was happening in the outside world.

Seeing the middle-aged scholar disguised as him and unable to remind Zhang Wushan and Ye Wendi to be careful, he couldn't help but feel very anxious.

But his spiritual power was far inferior to that of the middle-aged scholar, and his spiritual power was quickly exhausted.

Just when Chen Yuan was in despair, he was surprised to find that under the protection of that layer of golden light, after his spiritual power was consumed, it would be regenerated endlessly.

But at the same time, the golden light was slowly dimming.

Chen Yuan was overjoyed and instantly gained confidence. In addition to continuing to resist the attacks of the middle-aged scholar, he also looked for every opportunity to counterattack, hoping to regain control of his body.

However, the spiritual power of the middle-aged scholar was too pure, and Chen Yuan was unable to shake it despite his best efforts.

But Chen Yuan did not give up. He saw that three of his men were blocked by a burly man and monks from three sects. The middle-aged scholar would definitely not surrender and was determined to fight against them all.

Although the middle-aged scholar's soul is strong, it is only a remnant soul, and the power of the soul is ultimately limited.

He is now only beginning to control Chen Yuan's physical body. If he wants to circulate his true energy, he can only consume the power of his soul.

Chen Yuan continued to consume the spiritual power of the middle-aged scholar in the spiritual space. Caught between internal and external pressures, he was not without a chance to regain his body before the golden light was exhausted.

The situation developed just as he expected. The middle-aged scholar and the burly man soon started fighting. Chen Yuan couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
But then the middle-aged scholar suddenly attacked, killed Zhang Wushan, and swallowed his Nascent Soul. (End of this chapter)
