Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

Chapter 117 Chen Yuan's Death Spiritual Storm
While several Jindan Zhenren were communicating with each other, disciples from various sects flew out of the Lingguang Gate one after another, among them were Qi Hong and the Ziyang Sect disciple.

The two men came to stand behind the purple-robed female cultivator with smiles on their faces, and it was obvious that they had made a great harvest.

After a while, two figures flew out of the secret realm and landed steadily. They were Ren You and Yang Caijun.

The two men bowed to the Taoist master Ying Ting, who nodded slightly with a smile on his face.

Among the disciples of this generation of Tiangang Sword Sect, Ren You has the highest talent. If he encounters an accident in the secret realm, it will be a great loss for the Tiangang Sword Sect.

Ren You returned to the area belonging to the Tiangang Sword Sect and looked towards the Lingyun Sect. He scanned the disciples of the Lingyun Sect one by one, but did not see Chen Yuan.

He frowned slightly and turned his gaze to look towards the Lingguang Gate.

Chen Yuan rescued him, and the two of them teamed up to break into the inner ring passage. He owed Chen Yuan a favor and wanted to repay it this time, but he didn't expect that Chen Yuan had not come out yet.

However, the passage to the secret realm had just been opened, and would need to be maintained for two hours. There was plenty of time, and it would not be too late to repay the favor after Chen Yuan came out.

Ren You touched his storage bag, took out a talisman with a bright green glow, held it in his hand, and attracted the attention of several people.

This talisman was taken from a disciple of Zi Yang Sect. However, as a sword cultivator, he only cultivated a flying sword and did not use any magic weapons or talismans.

But to other Qi-refining cultivators, this item is extremely precious and is enough to repay Chen Yuan for helping them out.

……

Among the disciples of Lingyun Sect, Mo Jingchun had been staring at the Lingguang Gate. His eyes swept over the disciples of various sects who flew out of the Lingguang Gate, looking for Chen Yuan's figure.

But after an hour and a half, thirty-eight disciples from Lingyun Sect had come out, but Chen Yuan still did not appear.

During this period, Qin Xuanning led six Ziyang Sect disciples out of the Lingguang Gate. The eyes of the cultivator surnamed Xie lit up slightly and asked:
"Have you found that place?"

Qin Xuanning bowed deeply:
"The disciple has already taken care of the matter."

The monk surnamed Xie smiled and nodded slightly:

"Well done. After you build your foundation, you can become my disciple."

Qin Xuanning looked calm and said:
"Yes."

When the Jindan elders from various sects saw the expression of the cultivator named Xie, they knew that what Qin Xuanning had done must be extraordinary.

But this is Zi Yang Sect's business, and they have no right to interfere.

Time passed slowly, and the secret realm was about to close in a quarter of an hour. Fewer and fewer disciples left the secret realm, and it took a long time before one left.

Mo Jingchun frowned, his expression solemn.

Xue Lin and Song Qingru were standing next to Mo Jingchun, with surprise showing on their faces.

They have seen Chen Yuan's strength. He can fight one against eight and still have the upper hand. Who can hurt him?

Only fifteen disciples from the Tiangang Sword Sect entered the secret realm, and now ten disciples have come out. The number of casualties is considered low among all the sects.

But there was no joy on Ren You's face. He held the green talisman tightly in his hand with a solemn expression.

Qi Hong stood among the disciples of Zi Yang Sect, also staring at the Lingguang Gate with a playful look in his eyes.

He was waiting for news from Qin Xuanning. After he came out, he turned his head and saw that Chen Yuan was not among the disciples of Lingyun Sect.

Chen Yuan fought one against eight people and forced Qi Hong to admit defeat and give up the passage, which he regarded as a great humiliation.

If Chen Yuan died in the secret realm, he would also have gotten rid of his anger.

Suddenly, a beam of colorful spiritual light flew out from the spiritual light gate, and the disciples from all factions looked over.

Mo Jingchun clenched his fists, widened his eyes, and a glimmer of anticipation flashed in his eyes.

The spiritual light faded, and a one-armed figure in a green shirt fell to the ground, causing everyone to lose interest.

This person was He Xin. He let out a long sigh, looked back at the Lingguang Gate with lingering fear, and then walked towards the area belonging to the Lingyun Sect.

After he entered the inner ring, he was very cautious and did not dare to provoke those powerful monsters. He only found a dozen three-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs.

But relying on the fox's keen sense of smell, he found a second-level wolf demon that had just given birth to cubs and was extremely weak.

He Xin was overjoyed and played all his cards. He killed the beast and plucked the nine Seven-Star Grasses it was guarding, which was enough to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill.

But the wolf demon is a level two demon beast after all. Even if its strength decreases after giving birth to cubs, He Xin is still no match for it.

He spent two days harassing the wolf demon and exhausting its strength before he finally won.

After killing the wolf demon, He Xin immediately rushed to the receiving place and barely left the secret realm at the last moment.

When Mo Jingchun saw that this person was not Chen Yuan, his expression became even uglier. He continued to look towards the Lingguang Gate, but heard Xue Lin beside him say:
"Junior Brother He, have you ever met Senior Brother Chen?"

He Xin was startled, then shook his head and said:
"I haven't seen He yet. Has Senior Brother Chen not come out yet?"

After saying that, he looked up and glanced around, and sure enough, he did not see Chen Yuan.

He Xin was stunned, and then a burst of ecstasy surged from the bottom of his heart.

Could it be that Chen Yuan died in the secret realm?
After witnessing Chen Yuan's strength, he gave up his plan to hunt down Chen Yuan and concentrated on searching for spiritual herbs.

As for whether Huang Anhe was going to cause trouble for him, he didn't care.

But if Chen Yuan had not left the secret realm, he could have gotten another 1,500 spirit stones from Huang Anhe.

This is also a considerable income for the foundation-building cultivators. He Xin stared at the Lingguang Gate without blinking, hoping that it would close quickly and not let Chen Yuan out.

When Mo Jingchun heard that He Xin had also met Chen Yuan, he asked Xue Lin in a low voice what happened. He just found out that He Xin was one of the six people who teamed up with Chen Yuan. He couldn't help but look at him twice more, but saw that He Xin's expression changed, and he seemed quite happy.

Mo Jingchun frowned slightly, kept this matter in mind, and continued to look towards the Lingguang Gate.

But as time passed, no one came out.

Finally, the Jindan monks from various sects withdrew their magic power, and the six formation plates in their hands turned into ashes and dissipated with the wind. The gate of spiritual light slowly closed and gradually disappeared.

From beginning to end, Chen Yuan never came out of the secret realm.

Mo Jingchun sighed softly, feeling regretful.

He had always been optimistic about Chen Yuan, and after learning that Chen Yuan had the strength to fight eight people alone, he felt that he had a bright future. He thought that the lineage of casual cultivators might be able to produce another figure like Jin Luoheng.

But no one expected that Chen Yuan actually died in the secret realm.

Ren You shook his head slightly and put away the green talisman.

Since Chen Yuan is dead, he naturally does not have to repay the favor he owes.

He Xin felt relieved and started thinking about what means he could use to get the 1,500 spirit stones from Huang Anhe.

Huang Anhe had asked him for something before, so he agreed to increase the price.

Now that Chen Yuan is dead, there is a high possibility that Huang Anhe will default on his debt.

However, He Xin had a lot of experience in seeking revenge for others in the past. If Huang Anhe dared to default on his debt, he had plenty of ways to get the remaining spirit stones.

Next to He Xin, Xue Lin sighed:
"Poor Senior Brother Chen, he had great power and was expected to build a foundation, but he died in this secret realm. What a twist of fate..."

Song Qingru drooped her eyes slightly, pursed her lips, and stared blankly at the place where the spiritual light gate disappeared, without saying a word for a long time.

Qi Hong was happy to see that Chen Yuan had not come out, but he did not dare to show it.

The cultivator named Xie walked in front of the crowd, his brows slightly furrowed, and a deep aura emanated from his body. Even the air became stagnant, and a feeling of heaviness weighed on the hearts of the Zi Yang Sect disciples.

A total of 117 disciples from Zi Yang Sect entered the secret realm this time, but only 56 came out, with more than half of them dead or injured.

However, no matter how many other Qi-refining disciples were killed or injured, the cultivator named Xie did not care.

But Du Yu actually died in the secret realm, which gave him a headache.

Others may not know, but cultivator surnamed Xie is very clear about it. This person was spotted by another elder named Qi in the sect, who spent a lot of effort to cultivate him. After he has established his foundation, he will be accepted as his disciple.

And this Elder Qi has a similar cultivation level to the cultivator named Xie, and has a very high status in the sect. He must explain the matter clearly. If Elder Qi has any misunderstanding, it will become a troublesome matter.

Qin Xuanning stood in front of the disciples of Ziyang Sect, with an upright posture and a calm expression, but a hint of joy flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Du Yu had always been at odds with him and even competed with him for the position of a true disciple. However, he was ultimately defeated because of his violent temper, his love for eating the flesh and blood of monsters, and his bad reputation.

But Du Yu is extremely powerful and has the support of Elder Qi behind him, so he will definitely be a problem in the future.

His death in the secret realm meant that he had one less opponent in the sect, which was actually a good thing.

The disciples of Zi Yang Sect suffered heavy losses, and the situation in other sects was not much better. Except for Tian Gang Sword Sect, more than half of the disciples were killed or injured.

The faces of the Jindan cultivators from various sects were all rather grim. They released giant swords, evil dragons, flying boats and huge ships one after another, and left the place with their disciples.

The purple-robed female cultivator wanted to cause trouble for Jin Luoheng, but was stopped by the cultivator named Xie. She dared not do it again and glared at Jin Luoheng fiercely, then boarded the giant boat of Zi Yang Sect and fled away.

Jin Luoheng smiled faintly, not caring at all. He stepped forward and came to the huge boat released by Xu Changan.

The huge boat slowly rose into the air and flew northward. Jin Luoheng stood at the bow, hands behind his back, overlooking the barren mountain below, and said softly:

"That disciple who knew alchemy actually died in the secret realm. What a pity..."

……

When the Lingguang gate closed, a loud bang that shook the earth woke Chen Yuan from his sleep.

He had slept for a day and a night and was fully refreshed. When he heard the loud noise, his heart tightened and he immediately got out of bed and walked out of the two-story building.

He looked up and saw that outside the deep blue light curtain, colorful rays of light were flying from the sky. Several of them hit the light curtain, causing it to shake and seem to be about to shatter.

The rich spiritual energy in the valley suddenly became violent.

Chen Yuan exerted his internal energy for a moment and absorbed a trace of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body, but found that he was unable to transform it into magic power, so he had to release it again.

This should be the spiritual storm that was set off after the secret realm was closed.

In the past, the Lingyun sect had a disciple who was stranded in a secret realm and luckily survived the spiritual energy storm.

After he left the secret realm, he recounted his experience, and the scene was exactly as he had described.

Chen Yuan stood where he was, watching intently. He was relieved when he saw that although the dark blue light curtain was shaking continuously, there was not a single crack on it.

He returned to the small building, took out the "Essentials of Zhang Family Alchemy", and carefully studied the method of refining the Foundation Establishment Pill.

The spiritual energy storm will last for seven days and seven nights. After the storm passes, he can start refining pills and build his foundation!
