Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

Chapter 503 Demonic Realm

After Chen Yuan finished speaking, the eyes of all the Nascent Soul cultivators in the hall changed subtly and moved to Taoist Dukun.

Even Yan Zhang, who was sitting in the main seat, had a look of surprise in his eyes.

Head Shen of the Tiangang Sword Sect flashed his light, his eyes firmly fixed on Chen Yuan, and he looked up and down.

Taoist Du Kun's expression changed, he snorted imperceptibly, glanced at Chen Yuan bitterly, lowered his head slightly, and avoided everyone's sight.

A few years have passed, and the battle between Chen Yuan and Taoist Du Kun has spread among the Yuanying monks in Donghua Continent.

Everyone knows that Chen Yuan once easily cut off Taoist Dukun's arm.

It's just that they didn't know Chen Yuan before, and they saw him for the first time today.

After Chen Yuan sat down, the Yuanying monks behind him stood up one after another and introduced themselves.

Among them was an elder from Moyuan Palace named Mo Daoyu. His early Yuan Ying cultivation attracted Chen Yuan's attention.

This person should be the only Nascent Soul cultivator in Donghua Continent besides him and Xiao Mingyuan.

Among the thirty Nascent Soul monks in the hall, there were not many demonic monks like Mo Daoyu. There were only seven of them, and most of them were righteous monks.

The five major demon sects are the first to bear the brunt of the expansion of the demon realm.

Among the Nascent Soul monks who entered the Demon Realm for the first time, the Demon Sect elders accounted for the majority.

Among the monks who fought with monsters before, they were mainly demonic monks, and the four Xuanzong elders mainly took charge of the formation.

After everyone spoke one by one and wrote down each other's appearance and name, Daoxuan spoke again: "All of you fellow Taoists are either elders of the sect, or sect leaders and supreme elders of various sects. They are responsible for the rise and fall of the sect."

"Now that the demonic realm is expanding and threatening the entire world of immortal cultivation in Donghua Continent, we, the monks, are even more responsible."

"When we enter the Demon Realm tomorrow, please ask Fellow Daoist Xiao from Jiangxian Mountain, Fellow Daoist Mo from Moyuan Palace, and Fellow Daoist Chen from Lingyun Sect to open the way and clear out the low-level monsters."

"Other fellow Taoists are dealing with monsters above Nascent Soul. If there are too many low-level monsters, they will help fellow Taoists Xiao, Mo, and Chen."

Chen Yuan, Xiao Mingyuan and Mo Daoyu immediately clasped their fists in salute and responded with their mouths.

Others also agreed. In front of the great monk, ordinary Nascent Soul monks did not dare to put on airs.

No one is surprised by this, body correction is suitable for dealing with monsters.

Head Shen looked very surprised. He was one of the few people in the palace who had never heard of Chen Yuan's name.

But he knew that Xiao Mingyuan and Mo Daoyu were both physical cultivators. After Xuan Yuanzi, the Lingyun Sect had another Nascent Soul cultivator. It was already surprising. This person was actually a physical cultivator?

At this time, Daoxuan gave a few more instructions to everyone to be careful in the Demon Realm, and then everyone dispersed.

Master Shen has been paying attention to Chen Yuan's movements. After walking out of the hall, he came to Chen Yuan's side and bowed with his fists in his hands: "Do you have time to talk, Fellow Daoist Chen?"

Chen Yuan smiled slightly and returned the greeting: "Please, fellow Taoist minister."

With a flash of light, the two of them flew towards Yingke Peak and landed in front of Chen Yuan Cave.

Walking into the cave, the two of them took their seats respectively.

Master Shen said: "Shen has been away from the clan for more than twenty years and has never returned to Qi. Today we know that our friend has a baby. I am very happy that there is a successor for Taoist friend Xuanyuan."

"I would like to ask what is the current situation in the world of immortal cultivation in Qi. Has our sect ever encountered any changes?"

After Chen Yuan left Master Shen, the Ziyang Sect suppressed the Tiangang Sword Sect, Lingyun Sect, and Mingyin Valley, tried to take away the mines of Yuyang Mountain, and told the truth about his participation in the Six Sects Alliance and the defeat of Taoist Dukun. Said it briefly.

Head Shen showed anger on his face and slapped the stone table hard: "Du Kun actually attacked this junior of our sect, it's really too much!"

Chen Yuan advised: "Friend Taoist, please calm down. We must focus on the overall situation now, and leave personal grudges for later."

Head Shen said coldly: "Du Kun must have felt that the Demon Realm is dangerous. If Shen comes to the Demon Realm, he will not be able to go back, so he dares to act recklessly."

"When the Demon Realm incident is over, Shen will definitely go to the Ziyang Mountains in person to seek justice!"

His expression was indignant. After a long time, he calmed down and bowed his hand to Chen Yuan: "Thank you, fellow Taoist, for helping us preserve our share of the Yuyang Mountain mineral vein. Shen will definitely be richly rewarded in the future."

Chen Yuan smiled and said: "You don't need to be polite, Daoist friend Shen. The Ziyang Sect has repeatedly suppressed our sect. I am taking action to preserve our share. Joining forces with the Guizong will benefit both sides."

"As far as I know, the leader of our sect, Taoist Dukun, Taoist Bai of Guiyuan Sect, and Taoist Wanshoushan Ling were all trapped. Only Taoist Taoist escaped."

"The nine major sects allow all fellow Taoists to enter the Demon Realm. Are they suppressing the world of immortal cultivation in Qi?"

Leader Shen sighed: "Young Daoist Chen don't know. In the agreement reached between the six sects and the Blood Spirit Sect and the Hehuan Sect, the six of us must do our best to help eliminate the dangers of the Demon Realm before we can return to Qi."

"We have been fighting monsters since we came to the Demon Realm. Let us enter the Demon Realm and we cannot refuse."

Chen Yuan frowned: "The four major Xuanzongs have already returned the treasures sent by the Demon Sect, and are you going to let the Demon Sect do this?"

Head Shen sneered: "If the Four Xuan Sects really stood up for the righteous monks, they would not have allowed the Demon Sect to invade the territory of the Five Kingdoms for a few treasures."

"When entering the Demon Realm this time, fellow Taoists, remember to be careful and protect yourself first."

"That is to say, Shen was lucky enough to escape. Fellow Taoist Di from the Netherworld Valley unfortunately died in the hands of monsters. I don't know how the other fellow Taoists are doing now."

Chen Yuan bowed and said, "Thank you for your reminder, Taoist friend. Before I left the sect, the master's natal lamp was intact, but I don't know how the other Taoist friends are doing."

"However, Taoist Du Kun is fine, and Taoist Du Qing should be fine too."

He came here for the Nine-Curved Yellow Sand, and only took action against low-level monsters, and would never take the initiative to show off.

Chen Yuan also carefully asked Master Shen about the situation in the Demon Realm, as well as the characteristics and strength of the monsters, and Master Shen told him the truth.

"The Demon Realm is filled with pure true demonic energy, the spiritual energy is thin, and all things wither. You must always protect yourself with your true essence, and you cannot absorb spiritual energy to make up for it, and your true essence consumption will increase a lot..."

"The demonic energy will also corrode cultivators and monsters, transforming them into monsters without intelligence. They are characterized by red eyes and are extremely fierce. After death, a black crystal can be found in their bodies, which is composed of pure demonic energy and is deeply loved by demon cultivators..."

Chen Yuan's heart moved. Master Shen's description reminded him of the Demonic Plain in Jueling Island.

The Demonic Plain is also filled with demonic energy, but it is much thinner, far from being as pure as the Demon Realm, and the spiritual energy is also very rich.

The Demonic Plain is full of monsters, without intelligence, and there are demon cores in their bodies, which are very similar to monsters.

It was not until late at night that Master Shen said goodbye and left. Before leaving, he and Chen Yuan agreed to take care of each other after entering the Demon Realm.

The next morning, Chen Yuan left the cave and came to the Blood Shadow Hall. Other Nascent Soul cultivators came here one after another, gathered together, and talked in low voices.

Since Chen Yuan came to the Demon Realm, He Zhenren's attitude towards him has improved a little, but it is still a little lukewarm.

He knew that Chen Yuan did not come to save Xuan Yuanzi, but for the benefits promised by Tianxuan Sect, and he was still dissatisfied with him.

Chen Yuan didn't care about it at all, just greeted Tang Jiugongzi, Song Ming, Tong Zhenren, and Xiao Mingyuan, and agreed to take care of each other after entering the Demon Realm.

Everyone waited for a while, and the four great cultivators came together, still led by Daoxuan.

At Daoxuan's command, everyone drove the escape light, left the mountain, and flew to the formation curtain in the distance.

The formation curtain is not far from the mountain gate of the Blood Spirit Sect, only about a hundred miles away, and it will arrive in a moment.

Like last time, this time it is also led by four great cultivators, accompanied by thirty Nascent Soul cultivators and two formation masters.

The two formation masters were elders from the White Crane Sect and the Blood Spirit Sect, with Elder Fan from the White Crane Sect as the main one.

His attainments in formations were even deeper, second only to Elder Zhou from the Tianxuan Sect, and he was well-known in Donghua.

Before that, he had been stationed at the Blood Spirit Sect mountain gate and had never fought with monsters. This time, the nine major sects went all out and vowed to wipe out the source of the demonic energy, so he would no longer stay.

The two formation masters took out the formation plates and formation flags, and first laid a small formation outside the ancient formation, covering a radius of several miles, including a group of Nascent Soul cultivators, and then carefully opened a passage on the formation curtain.

The next moment, the dark demonic energy rushed out like a flood that broke through the dam, hitting the small formation and making a shocking loud noise.

Chen Yuan injected some true essence into the escape robe, and the silver-white light flowed, faintly transmitting spatial fluctuations. The oncoming demonic energy was like a spring breeze blowing past, and dissipated.

Others also showed their magical powers, forming colorful light shields on their bodies to resist the impact of demonic energy. They easily resisted the impact of demonic energy, even demon cultivators were no exception.

Although demon cultivators practiced magic skills, they were human after all, with spiritual energy as their foundation.

If you let the ownerless pure demonic energy enter your body, over time, the demonic energy will corrode your body and turn you into a demon without intelligence, and your life will be worse than death.

Only Mo Daoyu from the Demon Yuan Hall did not cast any spells. Instead, he took a deep breath of demonic energy, closed his eyes slightly, and looked relaxed, which was very conspicuous and attracted everyone's attention.

He was wearing a sleeveless black tights, his arms were bulging with muscles, and the blocks were clear, as hard as rocks, comparable to an ordinary person's thigh. His seven-foot-tall body was like a violent bear, standing out from the crowd.

When Chen Yuan saw him like this, he remembered Xiao Mingyuan's introduction of this person.

It is said that Mo Daoyu has demon blood in his body. He has been extremely powerful since childhood and has excellent physical talents. After practicing physical cultivation, he was like a fish in water and successfully formed a fetus at the age of more than 300.

His method requires the absorption of a large amount of demonic energy. After appearing in the Demon Realm, his cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, and it seems that he is not far from the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

Xiao Mingyuan and Mo Daoyu have sparred several times. The most recent time was more than 40 years ago. The two fought for four days and four nights, and Xiao Mingyuan won by one move.

But if the two fight again now, Xiao Mingyuan is not sure.

Under the impact of demonic energy, the small formation trembled a few times and seemed to be about to collapse. The two formation masters immediately changed the formula and injected true energy into the formation plate, finally withstanding the impact of demonic energy.

Elder Fan breathed a sigh of relief, and the formula in his hand changed repeatedly and hit the formation plate. The formation plate shot out a beam of light and fell on the formation curtain. The light changed a few times, and the channel finally stabilized.

"The passage can only last for a hundred breaths, fellow Taoists, hurry up and enter the Demon Realm!" Elder Fan reminded.

Daoxuan took the lead, and flew into the Demon Realm with a flash of light, and the other three great monks lagged behind half a step.

Everyone did not dare to neglect and followed closely.

In less than thirty breaths, everyone entered the Demon Realm.

The two formation masters changed their spells again, and the passage on the formation curtain slowly closed. The formation flag of the small formation suddenly lit up, and a layer of light green mist emerged out of thin air and spread in the formation.

The dark demonic energy that escaped met the light green mist, making a "chi chi" sound and quickly dissipated.

After all the demonic energy disappeared, the two formation masters put away the formation plate.

Elder Fan nodded to Daoxuan, who turned to look at Chen Yuan, Xiao Mingyuan, and Mo Daoyu: "Thank you three Taoist friends for opening the way. You only need to deal with low-level monsters. Other Taoist friends will deal with monsters above the Nascent Soul."

"Leave it to Xiao." Xiao Mingyuan clasped his fists and bowed, and came to the front of the crowd.

Mo Daoyu's expression was quite arrogant, he just grinned and flew away directly.

Chen Yuan's eyes flashed, he bowed to Daoxuan, silently followed the two and flew forward.

The place chosen by Elder Fan had the thinnest demonic energy, and opening a passage would not cause too much pressure on the ancient formation.

Therefore, there were not many monsters here, and everyone did not encounter monster harassment after entering.

Chen Yuan spread his spiritual sense and encountered great resistance, so he could only cover two thousand feet around him.

Because the demonic energy was constantly attacking the ancient formation, the interior of the Demon Realm was not as dark as it looked from outside the formation, but was a little dim, quite similar to the Demonic Plain.

However, the demonic energy lingering around him was even denser, as if he was trapped in a gray-black fog. With the eyesight of a cultivator, he could only see a hundred feet away.

Chen Yuan and his three companions came to about a hundred feet in front of the crowd, several dozen feet above the ground, and their speed was not fast, searching for the monsters in front of them.

Other Yuanying cultivators followed behind, alert all around.

Soon a group of monsters flew up. They were the strange birds with eagle bodies and bear heads that Chen Yuan saw when he came to the mountain gate of the Blood Spirit Sect, but their aura was stronger, and they were level seven monsters.

The strange bird had bloodshot eyes, was covered with messy black feathers, opened its bloody mouth, and rushed straight towards Chen Yuan and his three companions.

Just as Chen Yuan was about to step forward, Mo Daoyu shouted, "Leave these mixed-hair birds to Mo!"

He swayed and rushed forward. His two arms suddenly swelled up and turned into two black magic arms, and his palms turned into a pair of bloody claws, which looked extremely ferocious.

He rushed to a strange bird at a very fast speed, stretched out his two black magic arms, and grabbed the two wings of the strange bird with a pair of bloody claws. With a sudden force, he tore it in half.

Blood, flesh and internal organs flew down, and a strong smell of blood came to his nose.

"Haha, it's great!" Mo Daoyu laughed and rushed to the next strange bird.

There were about fifteen or sixteen strange birds in this group. They were angered by Mo Daoyu, gave up Chen Yuan and Xiao Mingyuan, and rushed towards him one after another.

This was tantamount to hitting a rock with an egg. The sharp beak of the strange bird pecked at Mo Daoyu, and not even a wound could be left.

There was also a sharp blade condensed from the magic energy spitted out by the strange bird, which was easily crushed by Mo Daoyu's magic arm and bloody claws.

It only took him a few dozen breaths to tear the group of strange birds in half, and their flesh and blood were scattered all over the ground.

Mo Daoyu retracted his pair of magic arms and blood claws, and sent down the light of escape, finding the magic cores of the group of strange birds and collecting them all.

He flew back into the sky, looked at Xiao Mingyuan and Chen Yuan, and said in a rough voice: "We will take turns to fight. If we encounter monsters again, please help us."

Xiao Mingyuan nodded slightly: "I will follow your words."

Chen Yuan's eyes paused on Mo Daoyu's arms and nodded.

Mo Daoyu grinned, seeming to be very satisfied with the reactions of the two.

The three continued to fly forward. As they went deeper into the demonic domain, they encountered more and more monsters, but they were all monsters below the Nascent Soul stage, and their strength was strengthened.

Chen Yuan and Xiao Mingyuan took action one after another and easily killed these monsters.

Like Mo Daoyu, Xiao Mingyuan also used a magical power. His skin was glowing red, and when he attacked, he was accompanied by a raging fire, easily burning the monster into charcoal.

This is the body of the fire spirit forged in the magma of the earth fire, which is extremely restraining to monsters.

When Xiao Mingyuan visited Chen Yuan, he mentioned this magical power, which is the secret of Jiangxian Mountain.

It was from Xiao Mingyuan that Chen Yuan learned that the body cultivation method is divided into three categories.

The first is to imitate the monster race, strengthen the body, and display the innate magical powers of monsters. "Demon God Jue" is one of this kind.

The second is to fill the body with magic energy, strengthen the body, and display all kinds of weird magic magical powers. Mo Daoyu is like this, and Wang Lin's method should also be of this kind.

The third is to follow the law of nature, borrow the power of thunder and fire, wind and ice, to temper the body, and master all kinds of magical powers. Xiao Mingyuan practiced this kind of method.

In ancient times, these were common sense of body cultivation, but now few people know it.

The inheritance of Jiangxian Mountain is complete, and Xiao Mingyuan knows it very well.

This is not a secret, and he wanted to exchange the King Kong Apricot from Chen Yuan, so he told the truth.

When it was Chen Yuan's turn, he did not use any magical powers, but only relied on his strong body to kill the monsters, and his momentum was much weaker.

But Mo Daoyu and Xiao Mingyuan did not dare to look down on Chen Yuan.

It seemed easy for them to deal with monsters, but this was in the Demon Realm, and the monsters were fearless and did not use magical powers. It would take a lot of effort if they did not use magical powers.

Chen Yuan did not need to use magical powers to easily deal with level 6 or 7 monsters, which showed that his physical strength was even stronger than the two of them.

Mo Daoyu put away his arrogant look, and Xiao Mingyuan's attitude towards Chen Yuan became closer.

They all knew that Chen Yuan had the shortest time to form a baby, but his physical body was the strongest, so they naturally attached great importance to him.

Chen Yuan also did it on purpose. It was not a good thing to hide his shortcomings blindly, and it could also reduce the consumption of true energy to deal with possible changes.

Since spiritual consciousness could only be spread out a few thousand feet at most, everyone dared not escape too fast in case they suddenly encountered monsters that would be difficult to deal with.

One day later, the group advanced tens of thousands of miles, encountering more and more low-level monsters. Chen Yuan and his three companions kept attacking and harvested a large number of low-level magic cores.

Most of the other Nascent Soul cultivators stood by and watched. There were no Nascent Soul monsters harassing them, and the low-level monsters did not swarm up. They did not need to take action, and they were solved by Chen Yuan and his three companions.

Only a few monsters that came from all around were killed by them, but they did not consume much true energy.

If they were asked to deal with those low-level monsters, the true energy consumed would be at least several times more than now. After advancing thousands of miles, they would need to stop and restore their true energy.

They passed several cities along the way, all of which became dead cities, and the streets were full of mortal corpses with painful expressions.

They could not withstand the erosion of the demonic energy, but there were still a few strong mortals who turned into monsters. Their aura was similar to that of the Qi Refining cultivators, wandering in the dead city like zombies.

But once they met, they would rush to each other regardless of everything and fight together until one of the monsters died.

The other monster found the magic core in its body and swallowed it. The wounds on its body slowly healed, and it continued to wander in the city, looking for the next monster until it died in the hands of other monsters.

All the trees that everyone saw along the way were withered and desolate.

Only a few adapted to the magic energy, and the branches turned gray and black, twisted and hideous, covered with strange patterns, like arms stretched out to the sky, intertwined together, making people shudder.

Wherever the demon domain goes, it is hell on earth.

Gu Zu frowned and said, "The last time I and my fellow Taoists entered the Demon Realm, we traveled thousands of miles and encountered ten times more monsters along the way. There were also Yuanying monsters harassing us. These monsters are too weak and there are fewer of them."

Yan Zhang's eyes focused: "It seems that the monsters are concentrating their strength to deal with the Taoist friends trapped in the Demon Realm. We must speed up and rush to the center of the Demon Realm as soon as possible to rescue the Taoist friends."

Daoxuan pondered for a moment and nodded slowly: "Daoyou Yan's words make sense. If we delay, something will happen. We can't waste time on the road. What do you think, Daoyou Chu?"

Chu Xiao said lightly: "Everything is up to Daoyou's orders. I will just take action to deal with the monsters."

Daoxuan then turned around and said to everyone: "Daoyou, the fewer monsters harassing us, the more monsters we will have to deal with the trapped Taoists. Now we can't be stingy with the consumption of true essence. We must rush to the depths of the Demon Realm as soon as possible."

After that, he took the lead in speeding up and flew forward.

Others followed one after another. Xiao Mingyuan and Mo Daoyu also heard Daoxuan's instructions and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although physical cultivators are good at long battles, fighting with monsters all the time consumes a lot of true essence.

Only Chen Yuan didn't care about it. When he killed the monster, he didn't use any magical powers. He also refined Kunpeng's true blood and absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at a speed more than twice that of the cultivators of the same level.

Although the spiritual energy in the Demon Realm is thin, it is enough to make up for his consumption of flying and activating the escape robe, and his true essence is extremely full.

Everyone took action together to deal with the low-level monsters that attacked, and the escape speed was much faster. It only took half a day to move forward more than 10,000 miles and came to the depths of the Demon Realm.

The demonic energy here is more pure, condensed together, and the fog is much lighter, and you can see thousands of feet away.

But the spiritual consciousness was further compressed. Chen Yuan spread out his spiritual consciousness, which could only cover the area within a hundred feet around him, which was not as good as the range of visual vision.

The crowd encountered more and more monsters. Except for the four great monks, the other monks had to take action to prevent the speed of advancement from being slowed down, but there were still no monsters above the Nascent Soul stage.

Until everyone entered a mountain range, the number of monsters increased sharply and swarmed over.

Gu Zu's expression became solemn: "A few hundred miles ahead is where our sect elder Zhou set up a large formation and trapped fellows are defending."

"Fellow Taoists, be careful. There may be Nascent Soul monsters mixed in with these low-level monsters. Before, a Taoist was caught off guard and died in a sneak attack by a monster!" (End of this chapter)
