Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

Chapter 114 Breaking the Ban
In order to break the restriction on the Tiantai Peak Spiritual Medicine Garden, one must first break the formation bases on the seven guarding peaks. Otherwise, the restriction will absorb the spiritual energy of the large spiritual veins in the blessed land, endlessly and will never be possible to break.

Most of the more than ten existing spiritual medicine gardens in the blessed land of Dongxu Mountain have such restrictions. They are extremely stable, and can remain intact after tens of thousands of years of changes.

The other cultivators did not have the secret realm map in their hands, so they would never have thought that this method was the only way to break the restriction on the spiritual medicine garden.

The speed of going down the mountain was much faster than that of going up the mountain. After more than half an hour, Chen Yuan walked down the Tiantai Peak and climbed a small hill that guarded the Tiantai Peak.

The base of this mountain formation is a green pine, but there are more than ten green pines standing on the top of the mountain, making it difficult to tell the real one from the fake one.

Chen Yuan did not have time to slowly find the base of the formation. He controlled the five Seven-Star Blades and chopped down the ten or so green pines one by one. When he chopped down the eighth tree, there was a sound of metal clashing, and a green light curtain appeared on the surface of the green pine, and it was intact.

Chen Yuan made up his mind, put away the Seven Star Blade, took out the Silver Gang Sword, suddenly urged his magic power, and shouted:
"cut!"

The silver sword turned into a stream of light, shot out and slashed on the trunk of the green pine tree.

clang!
There was a loud bang, the sound was shocking, but the pine tree remained standing.

Chen Yuan seemed not surprised by the result. He shook his head slightly, retracted the Silver Sword, then stroked his storage bag and took out a low-grade golden sword talisman.

According to the map, these seven formation bases can only be broken by cultivators at least at the foundation-building stage.

Although the Silver Gang Sword was mixed with mid-grade spiritual materials, it was only a top-grade magical weapon after all. It was sharp but lacked power.

Chen Yuan pinched the golden sword talisman, injected magic power into it, and muttered something.

The golden sword talisman burned slowly. After a few breaths, it absorbed half of Chen Yuan's magic power and turned into a three-foot-long golden magic sword. It shone brightly and dazzlingly, and exuded a sharp aura.

Chen Yuanpian pointed and shouted:

"disease!"

The golden sword suddenly flew out and chopped on the trunk of the green pine tree!
clang!
A sound even more violent than before was heard, echoing across the mountain top.

The green pine tree that had just stood firm under the silver sword was now cut by the golden magic sword, leaving a half-foot deep wound.

The trunk of the green pine tree was only one foot square. At this moment, it had lost half of its support and was about to fall. Green light kept flickering on its surface.

The power of the golden sword was exhausted and it turned into golden light and dissipated into the air.

But the base of the formation here was also broken in half, so things would be easy from now on.

Chen Yuan took out the Silver Sword again and used its unparalleled sharpness to continuously chop at the green pine.

A quarter of an hour later, the green pine was finally chopped down to the ground. The green light on its surface suddenly became dazzling, and then turned into a green formation flag.

This formation flag was exactly what Chen Yuan needed. He raised his hand, took it and put it into his storage bag.

Afterwards, he took out a soul-restoring pill and swallowed it, then closed his eyes and meditated to restore his magic power.

Chen Yuan first activated a low-grade talisman, and then continued to control the silver sword to chop down the green pine. His magic power was exhausted and he had no energy left to break the rest of the formation.

A quarter of an hour later, Chen Yuan's magic power was restored. He stood up and walked down the mountain. It took him less than half an hour to climb up the second guarding peak.

Unlike the first mountain, there is only a three-meter-high boulder on the top of the second mountain.

And this huge rock is the base of this mountain formation.

This time, Chen Yuan no longer used magic weapons to test. He directly took out a Luoying Talisman, held it in his hand, injected magic power into it, and muttered something.

After a few breaths, the Luoying Talisman turned into ashes, and suddenly a burst of colorful flowers appeared in the air and fell down.

These flowers are all transformed from spiritual light, they are tangible but intangible, and they fall on the boulders silently.

A thick layer of yellow spiritual light lit up on the surface of the boulder. When the fallen petals touched the light curtain, they made a slight hissing sound and eroded a trace of the yellow spiritual light.

Hundreds of fallen flowers floated down one after another, corroding the yellow light curtain into pits and dimming its spiritual light.

Chen Yuan smiled slightly, raised the Silver Sword, and chopped down.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the yellow light curtain was completely shattered.

A yellow light flickered on the surface of the boulder and turned into a yellow flag, which was collected by Chen Yuan.

Breaking the restriction here also exhausted Chen Yuan's magic power.

He took out a soul-restoring pill, closed his eyes and meditated. After his magic power was restored, he went down the mountain and rushed to the third guarding peak.

After breaking through two formation bases, Chen Yuan was familiar with the process and did the same thing next time. He first offered up a low-grade talisman and then controlled the silver sword to break through the remaining five formation bases one after another.

Eight hours later, with the full moon high in the sky and the Milky Way across the sky, Chen Yuan returned to the top of Tiantai Peak with seven formation flags.

At this time, the seven low-grade offensive talismans in his hand had all been used up, and there were only four soul-restoring pills left.

Fortunately, Chen Yuan was well prepared. If he had fewer Soul-Restoring Pills and had used all his time to recover his magic power, he would not have been able to break the restriction here when the secret realm was closed.

Even though he had the Soul-Restoring Pill to restore his magic power, due to the existence of the no-fly restriction, most of his time would be wasted on the journey. It took Chen Yuan nearly a day to break through the seven formation bases.

There are two days left before the secret realm is closed, and he doesn't have much time left.

Chen Yuan also knew that time was running out and did not dare to delay even a little.

After he reached the top of Tiantai Peak, he took a few breaths, then took out seven formation flags and threw them into the lake.

After the formation flag entered the water, it stood on the surface of the lake, motionless, as if it was inserted into the ground, emitting seven colors of light: red, white, gold, blue, yellow, green and blue.

Then, the lake surface turned into a layer of dark blue light curtain, and the seven-color light on the surface kept flashing. Chen Yuan stroked the storage bag, took out the golden brick talisman, raised his hand, pinched the formula, and injected magic power into it.

The talisman emitted wisps of golden light, which condensed into a seven-foot-tall golden brick in the air.

After a few breaths, the gold brick solidified into something solid. Chen Yuan activated his magic power and shouted:
"fall!"

The gold bricks flew over the lake and smashed down with a loud bang, causing the deep blue light curtain to tremble.

Chen Yuan was delighted, and the magic gesture in his hand changed. The gold brick flew up again, paused for a moment, and then fell down again!

Rumbling sounds continued to be heard, and the deep blue light curtain kept shaking. Under the bombardment of the gold bricks, cracks appeared on the surface.

But a quarter of an hour later, when Chen Yuan's magic power was exhausted and the gold bricks dispersed, the light curtain was still not broken.

Chen Yuan frowned slightly when he saw that the restrictions in the spiritual medicine garden were so strong.

But fortunately, he had broken through seven formation bases. With the help of seven formation flags, there was no spiritual energy to repair the damaged parts of the restriction. After he stopped, it remained in its original state.

The first attempt to break the ban was not in vain.

Chen Yuan took a pill of rejuvenation pill, closed his eyes and meditated, restoring all the magic power in his body, and once again activated the golden brick talisman to bombard the restriction.

The second attempt to break the ban still failed, but the restriction light curtain was damaged even more severely.

Chen Yuan took the Fuling Pill, closed his eyes and meditated to restore his magic power, and then tried to break the ban for the third time.

This attempt to break the ban has made obvious progress.

Under the continuous bombardment of the gold bricks, a crack about half a foot wide appeared on the forbidden light curtain.

Chen Yuan was greatly excited. He swallowed the second to last soul-restoring pill in his hand to restore his magic power. Then he raised the Silver Sword and the Fixed Light Mirror and began to break the ban for the fourth time.

The golden brick talisman he got from Gu Zhaoshi can only be used four times.

He had used it once during the previous fight with Du Yu, and just now he had used it three times in a row to break the ban, and it had turned into ashes. Chen Yuan could only use magic weapons to break the ban.

The power of the top-grade magic weapon is far inferior to that of the talisman. Chen Yuan’s fourth attempt to break the ban still failed.

But he was not discouraged. He took the last pill to restore his magic power and then tried to break the ban for the fifth time.

Unfortunately, the fifth attempt to break the ban was still unsuccessful.

The surface of the forbidden light curtain was covered with cracks and was crumbling. The scene behind the light curtain could be vaguely seen, but it was still stubbornly connected, blocking Chen Yuan's footsteps and his path.

At this time, Chen Yuan had used up all the Fuling Pills in his hand, but he was not panicked at all. He sat down cross-legged, took a Yuhua Pill, closed his eyes and meditated, slowly recovering his magic power.

……

Three hours later, Chen Yuan's magic power was fully restored and he had the power to break the ban again.

He stood up, took out four top-grade talismans, threw them in front of him, raised his hands, made hand gestures, and muttered something.

This is the limit of what he can do after his spiritual consciousness was damaged. Any more would be beyond his ability.

Three breaths later, four top-grade magic talismans transformed into golden spears, ice rain, falling rocks and fire dragons, and all bombarded the forbidden light curtain.

The light curtain shook and developed a few more cracks, but it still did not break.

Chen Yuan took out four top-grade talismans and threw them out.

The forbidden light curtain trembled violently, and the seven-colored light on it flickered continuously, as if it was about to break.

A gleam of light flashed in Chen Yuan's eyes, and he took out the last three top-grade talismans and threw them out together!
Click!

The forbidden light curtain was finally broken, revealing the scene inside.

This is a valley of several dozen acres in size. The mountain walls are more than ten feet high and the top tapers inward, about the same size as a lake.

There are hundreds of spiritual herbs growing in the valley. Looking closely, most of them are Yin-Yang Ganoderma, Angelica dahurica, and Seven-Star Grass. The rest are extremely rare three-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs.

In the northeast corner of the valley, there is a two-story building with flying eaves, green tiles and red roofs, and a wide open door.

Chen Yuan laughed loudly, raised his hand to call back the seven formation flags, stepped on the ground, and fell into the valley like a light feather.

At this time, the sky was bright, the sky was clear and cloudless, and the sunlight shone into the valley, reflecting the spiritual dew on the flowers and leaves of the spiritual herbs, emitting dazzling golden light.

In less than twenty hours, the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain will be closed.

Chen Yuan finally broke the restriction of the spiritual medicine garden in time and did not fail.

But after he entered the valley, a hint of nervousness flashed in his eyes. He didn't even look at the spiritual herbs and went to the two-story building first.

The hall on the first floor had smooth walls and simple furnishings, except for a square sandalwood table on which were placed a jade slip, an array plate, and six spirit stones.

These spirit stones are about the size of an index finger, surrounded by a dense aura. The spiritual energy is rich and far superior to that of lower-grade spirit stones. They are extremely precious mid-grade spirit stones.

Chen Yuan picked up the jade slip, probed his spiritual sense into it, and examined it carefully.

After a while, he withdrew his spiritual consciousness, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, he picked up the formation plate and the spirit stone, then left the small building, drove the flying boat, flew out of the valley, returned to the top of Tiantai Peak, and went down the mountain.

He took great pains and used seven low-grade talismans, one talisman, and eleven top-grade magic talismans to break the restriction with great difficulty. However, from beginning to end, he never picked the spiritual herbs in the valley, as if he had no interest in them.
