Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

Chen Yuan looked at Bai Yanji and smiled slightly: "Brother Bai, don't worry. If I am not sure, I will not take the initiative to fight with the great cultivator."

"To be honest, Junior Brother, I have already fought with a great cultivator before, and we were evenly matched. That's why I dared to come to you this time."

Bai Yanji was stunned: "Senior Brother Chen actually fought with a great cultivator? Could he be the leader of the five major demon sects?"

Zhuge Qi was also quite surprised: "If Senior Brother Chen really fought with a great cultivator and did not lose, the news should have spread all over Donghua Continent long ago. Why have we never heard of it?"

Chen Yuan said: "This is a long story. Do you know how many continents there are in the human world?"

Zhuge Qi was shocked, and an incredible guess rose in his heart. He murmured, "In the Demon Realm, the Demon Lord and several great cultivators said that there are three continents in the human world, Donghua Continent, Jiuxian Continent, and Huangliang Continent..."

Chen Yuan said: "I went to Jiuxianzhou and fought with a great cultivator there."

Lingyun Hall fell silent. Except for Jin Luoheng who already knew about this and looked calm, Zhuge Qi and Bai Yanji's expressions suddenly changed. They stared at Chen Yuan closely, completely lacking the cunningness that a Nascent Soul cultivator should have.

Bai Yanji shook his head repeatedly: "How is this possible? In the Demon Realm, Master Hong of the Yinhai Sect once said that Donghua Continent has not had any contact with other continents for tens of thousands of years, and the space channels have long been cut off. How can Senior Brother Chen go to Jiuxian Continent?"

Chen Yuan said: "What Sect Master Hong said is true. The exchanges between the states are almost cut off, but the ancient teleportation array has not been completely destroyed."

"More than a hundred years ago, I found a surviving ancient teleportation array..."

He started with Master Qingyou, and briefly recounted his experiences over the years after the battle between good and evil, when he sought refuge in Jiuxianzhou through the ancient teleportation array. He only omitted all the secrets such as the True Spirit Blood, the Demon Yuan Pill, and the Green Robe Array Spirit.

But Chen Yuan's experience was too rich, and even though he omitted many details and secrets, he continued talking for several hours until it was getting dark, when he stopped.

Zhuge Qi's expression kept changing: "Brother Chen actually had such a fortuitous encounter. I thought that Brother Chen was just cultivating in a secret space somewhere, and his cultivation was able to advance by leaps and bounds..."

Bai Yanji sighed: "Jiuxianzhou is vast and rich in resources. There are really giant spiritual veins in the world, ten major sects coexisting, and the divine demon cultivators suppressing one side..."

"In Yuqing Sea alone, there are three large sects that have been fighting against the demons for a thousand years, almost recreating the style of the ancient immortal cultivation world."

"Compared to him, we are like frogs in a well, looking at the sky from the bottom of the well."

Chen Yuan smiled without saying anything. Although the Jiuxian Continent was powerful, it was still far inferior to the ancient human world when it was at its peak and conquered the thirteen realms, which attracted the Demon King and the Demon Lord to invade at all costs, but they still failed.

He looked apologetic, "The ancient teleportation array is of great importance. Now that the sect is stable, I have just informed you two junior brothers. Please don't blame me."

Zhuge Qi said sternly, "Brother Chen, you are too polite. Donghua Continent and Jiuxian Continent have not had any contact for tens of thousands of years. The ancient teleportation array that Brother Chen discovered is probably the only way to communicate with Jiuxian Continent. It is a top secret of our sect, and the fewer people who know about it, the better."

Bai Yanji frowned, "But from what Senior Brother Chen said, the Blood Spirit Sect also knows about the ancient teleportation array, and even sent people to guard it. They may send people to Qi to investigate again, so we have to be on guard."

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Junior Brother Bai, you are worrying too much. The Blood Spirit Sect does not know where the ancient teleportation array leads to."

"Moreover, after I teleported to Jiuxianzhou, I immediately destroyed the teleportation array. Over the past hundred years, the teleportation array has been abandoned and useless."

Jin Luoheng nodded slightly: "After Chen Yuan returned to the sect, he asked Cong Yao to guard the teleportation array. It has been safe and sound so far, which shows that the Blood Spirit Sect has no suspicion."

Zhuge Qi said: "Yes, when Senior Brother Chen returned to the sect, everyone in the sect thought that Senior Brother Chen had obtained some kind of opportunity, which enabled him to make such rapid progress in his cultivation."

“The Blood Spirit Sect would never suspect the Nine Immortal Continent, which has cut off ties with Donghua Continent for tens of thousands of years.”

Bai Yanji's brows relaxed: "I am overthinking... Senior Brother Chen said this today, but do you want to go back to Jiuxianzhou?"

Chen Yuan nodded secretly. Bai Yanji and Zhuge Qi were both very tactful and did not ask him how he returned to Donghuazhou without going through the ancient teleportation array, or how he repaired the ancient teleportation array.

The speech he prepared in advance was of no use at all.

Chen Yuan said: "That's right, but I won't be going alone. I need to ask Master and Junior Brother Zhuge to go with me..."

He briefly recounted the story of how he and Tianjizi had joined forces to deal with the Golden Feathered Eagle Clan, and at the end he said to Zhuge Qi, "Master has agreed. I wonder if Junior Brother Zhuge is willing to go?"

When Zhuge Qi learned that Chen Yuan was going to attack the three royal families of the Wan Yao Sea, which were equivalent to large sects, he was amazed: "Brother Chen has invited me, how can I refuse? Moreover, as long as I participate in this battle, I will get a share of the treasures. It is a rare opportunity."

Chen Yuan smiled and turned to look at Chen Baiyanji: "After we leave, Junior Brother Bai will be in charge of the mountain gate. Junior Brother Bai will also have a share of the treasures of the Golden Feathered Eagle Clan."

Jin Luoheng said, "All matters within the sect, big or small, will be handled by Junior Brother Bai."

"The ancient teleportation array is guarded by Cong Yao. Our sect must have hidden agents arranged by other sects. Junior brother's whereabouts are under great attention. Don't go there easily."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Bai Yanji said solemnly: "I have no choice but to guard the mountain gate carefully and not give the four great Xuan Sects any chance to take advantage of me."

Chen Yuan said: "After this incident, the four great Xuan Sects will no longer dare to hinder us secretly. In three to five years at the latest, or six to seven years at the latest, Master and Junior Brother Zhuge should return to Donghuazhou."

"Then Junior Brother Bai can go to Jiuxianzhou to look for opportunities. Jiuxianzhou's cultivation world is extremely rich, so it shouldn't be difficult for Junior Brother to break through the bottleneck in the middle stage."

"But please do not spread this matter to anyone, even to your fellow disciples."

"Otherwise, once people know that our sect has mastered the ancient teleportation array leading to Jiuxianzhou, the good and evil forces will probably join hands to attack, and our sect will also face a catastrophic disaster."

Bai Yanji's expression became serious: "Brother Chen, don't worry, I will keep my mouth shut."

Chen Yuan nodded. He didn’t know whether Bai Yanji had truly integrated into the Lingyun Sect, but if the matter of the teleportation array was leaked, Bai Yanji would never be able to go to Jiuxianzhou to look for opportunities.

Jin Luoheng took out an ancient jade pendant engraved with cloud patterns and handed it to Bai Yanji: "Junior Brother Bai, please take charge of the sect master's seal for the time being."

Junior Brother Bai took it with both hands: "I will definitely live up to the trust of Senior Brother Master."

Afterwards, Jin Luoheng and Zhuge Qi informed Bai Yanji of all the affairs of the sect under their charge, and summoned Wu Zexian, Chu Guangkai and other Jindan elders, ordering them to obey Bai Yanji's orders.

Bai Yanji had only joined Lingyun Sect for more than 20 years, but he was going to take charge of the sect, which surprised all the Jindan cultivators in Lingyun Sect.

But this was what Jin Luoheng said himself, and Chen Yuan and Zhuge Qi had no objection, so they naturally had no choice but to obey.

After the handover was completed, Chen Yuan, Jin Luoheng and Zhuge Qi announced in public that they would practice in seclusion, secretly left the Lingyun Mountains and headed for Jiuxianzhou. (End of this chapter)
