Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

Chapter 130: The noble Ziyang plan
"Ten...ten years?!"

Yun Fang and Duan Changyu were both shocked when they heard this.

This answer was completely beyond their expectations.

How could there be a cultivator who stayed in the secret realm for ten years and successfully established his foundation?

Facing the two people's incredulous gazes, Chen Yuan said: "This is a long story, you just need to know it. After we leave the secret realm, I will explain it to the elders... I wonder who is the elder leading the team this time?"

Yun Fang suppressed his shock and replied, "Uncle Master, the team leaders this time are Elder Jin Luoheng and Elder Ji Bin."

Chen Yuan's mind was moved: "Elder Jin? He was the one who led the team to the secret realm ten years ago. Why is he the one again this time?"

Duan Changyu said: "In recent years, it has been Elder Jin's turn to be in charge of the sect's secular affairs, so he escorted the disciples to the secret realm."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly, with a hint of joy in his eyes.

Jin Luoheng is an elder who comes from a lineage of independent cultivators and is known for supporting the younger generation. Once he gets out of the secret realm, it will be easier for him to pass the test.

Afterwards, Chen Yuan collected the storage bags containing the spiritual herbs and the storage bags of the disciples from the Myriad Beasts Mountain, Dark Yin Valley, and Tiangang Sword Sect. He handed the storage bags of the Lingyun Sect disciples to Yun Fang and Duan Changyu, and said, "Please keep these relics of your junior brothers and sisters in good care, and hand them over to Elder Jin after we leave the secret realm."

Yun Fang and Duan Changyu quickly put away the storage bags, probed their spiritual sense into them, and found that there was not a single spiritual herb inside.

The two looked at each other, knowing what was going on, and did not mention the matter.

Chen Yuan was a foundation-building cultivator, so even if he took away everything, they would not dare to say anything.

What's more, they still needed Chen Yuan's help, so they didn't dare to make any suggestions.

Yun Fang bowed deeply to Chen Yuan and said, "Uncle Chen, we two have an unwelcome request. Ziyang Sect has sent countless demon elixir cultivators into the secret realm. The inner ring has become extremely dangerous. Can we follow Uncle Chen and explore the secret realm together?"

Chen Yuan pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, with your help, I can kill a few more Level 2 monsters, and I'll split the spiritual herbs with you 50-50."

Yun Fang quickly refused, "How dare we share the spiritual herbs with Uncle Chen? We two only want to save our lives, and we are willing to give all the spiritual herbs to Uncle Chen."

Chen Yuan waved his sleeves and said unhappily, "How can I take advantage of my two nephews? This matter is settled."

Seeing that Chen Yuan was not pretending, the two of them sincerely said, "Uncle Chen is so righteous!"

Afterwards, Chen Yuan, Yun Fang and Duan Changyu went to a dangerous place they had never been to before.

He agreed to travel with Yun Fang and Duan Changyu, not only because both of them were elite disciples of Lingyun Sect and were quite powerful, but also because they could help Chen Yuan when hunting monsters.

Also because he needed the two of them to be witnesses of his "enforcement of justice on behalf of heaven".

Led by Chen Yuan, the three of them did not have to move forward cautiously, and in less than three quarters of an hour, they arrived at a dangerous place.

But the monsters here had already been hunted down, and the scene was in a mess.

Yun Fang's expression changed: "This must have been done by the demon pill cultivator of Zi Yang Sect!"

Chen Yuan's face was filled with anger, and he said righteously: "My two junior brothers, follow me, we must not let the Ziyang Sect be so arrogant!"

"Yes!"

The two had just witnessed Chen Yuan's power in killing the monk with untied hair, and knew that the demon pill monk of Zi Yang Sect was no match for Chen Yuan. When they heard that Chen Yuan was going to cause trouble for Zi Yang Sect, they were quite excited.

The Zi Yang Sect used strange secret techniques and spent a lot of money to send the demon pill cultivator into the secret realm. They must have collected a lot of spiritual herbs, and they might be able to get a share of it.

The two followed Chen Yuan and continued to move forward, passing through forests and mountains, crossing lakes and swamps. They walked for an hour, passed two dangerous places on the way, and finally ran into disciples of Zi Yang Sect.

There were five disciples from Zi Yang Sect in total, and they joined forces with three disciples from Gui Yuan Sect. They were fighting against three disciples from Wan Shou Mountain and two disciples from Ming Yin Valley. They had the upper hand, and there were already three corpses on the field. They were about to kill all the opponents.

Upon seeing this, Chen Yuan and the other two immediately joined the battle and joined forces with the disciples from Wanshou Mountain and Mingyin Valley to fight against the disciples from Ziyang Sect and Guiyuan Sect.

Both sides were shocked when they sensed the foundation-building spiritual pressure on Chen Yuan.

The Zi Yang Sect and Gui Yuan Sect were aware that the situation was not good, and their arrogance and wantonness just now disappeared without a trace.

The people from Wanshou Mountain and Mingyin Valley were in dire straits, and they were so grateful to receive such strong support that they moved closer to Chen Yuan regardless of his identity as a cultivator from the Lingyun Sect.

The leading cultivator of Zi Yang Sect is also a person with a demon pill implanted in his body. He can control the plants and trees within ten feet around him to attack the enemy. In this secret realm full of lush trees, he is like a fish in water.

Chen Yuan did not use his physical strength, but he actually felt quite pressured when facing this person.

However, this person ultimately relied on external forces and could not break through Chen Yuan's defense.

Chen Yuan didn't care about his face. He protected himself tightly and consumed the power of the demon pill in the man's body. It took him more than half an hour to exhaust his demon power before he took action to kill him.

The remaining seven people were entangled by Yun Fang and others. After Chen Yuan pulled his hand out, he shot them to death one by one.

Afterwards, under Chen Yuan's instructions, Yun Fang dug out the fourth-level demon pill from the body of the leading cultivator of Zi Yang Sect, and also took out the magic weapons, identity jade plates, spirit beast bags, Yin flags and other identity proofs of the cultivators from various factions from the storage bags of Zi Yang Sect disciples, which made the disciples of Wanshou Mountain and Mingyin Valley horrified.

It turned out that many of their fellow disciples had died at the hands of the Zi Yang Sect. They were lucky to have Chen Yuan lend a helping hand, otherwise they would have followed in their footsteps.

At this time, Chen Yuan took away all the spiritual herbs in the storage bags of the Zi Yang Sect disciples and distributed a small half of them to everyone. The disciples of the three sects were all grateful to him and became more determined to follow Chen Yuan and explore the secret realm.

Both of them are foundation-building cultivators. The Zi Yang Sect robbed and killed disciples from various sects and snatched spiritual herbs. However, Chen Yuan, however, acted in the name of justice and saved people from danger. The difference between the two sides was immediately apparent.

Chen Yuan didn't take the flattery from everyone to heart.

The three times he robbed and killed Zi Yang Sect disciples, he harvested a huge number of spiritual herbs, an extremely astonishing amount, and also gained the favor of disciples from various sects. After leaving the secret realm, he was confident that he could protect himself.

In the next two days, Chen Yuan led nearly ten disciples from the three sects to search for the traces of Zi Yang Sect's disciples.

Before the secret realm was opened, the four major sects only worked together in pairs.

But under the threat of Zi Yang Sect, and with the leadership of the foundation-building cultivator Chen Yuan, the disciples of the four sects achieved an unprecedented great unity. They followed Chen Yuan together, hunting monsters, collecting spiritual herbs, and at the same time looking for the traces of disciples from Zi Yang Sect and Gui Yuan Sect. Once they found them, they would work together to kill them and divide their spiritual herbs equally.

Chen Yuan was also a man of high moral character. He did not take a single cent of the spiritual herbs he obtained from hunting second-level monsters, except for the eight-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs, and gave all of them to the disciples of the four sects.

After killing the disciples of Zi Yang Sect and Gui Yuan Sect, he only took the spiritual herbs that were five hundred years old and eight hundred years old, and distributed the remaining spiritual herbs to everyone.

He already had enough spiritual herbs in his storage bag. Giving some away would motivate the disciples of the four sects.

At the same time, this is also a favor to the disciples of the four sects. Although they cannot repay it, after leaving the secret realm, the Jindan elders of the four sects cannot ignore it.

The four sects' disciples did not have to worry about dying at the hands of the Ziyang Sect's cultivators, and they could harvest the spiritual herbs without taking any risks. They also returned the favor, saying that they would definitely denounce Ziyang Sect's actions after leaving the secret realm, and inform their own teachers of what Chen Yuan had done. This was Chen Yuan's purpose. The disciples of various sects who entered the secret realm this time were all elites in the sect, with roots and foundations. Chen Yuan saved them from the hands of Ziyang Sect's cultivators and distributed spiritual herbs to them. The teachers behind them must accept this favor.

The number of disciples from the four sects around Chen Yuan has increased to fourteen. Wherever they go, no matter what kind of monster it is, it will die.

Including the monk with untied hair, they encountered a total of seven Zi Yang Sect monks with demon pills implanted in their bodies. They killed all of them and the accompanying Zi Yang Sect and Gui Yuan Sect disciples, and preserved the demon pills, preparing to take them out of the secret realm and hand them over to the sect's master.

The spiritual herbs in his hand were also divided among the crowd.

Although the five hundred year old spiritual herbs and the eight hundred year old spiritual herbs were taken away by Chen Yuan, he was a foundation-building cultivator, and it was already very rare for him to distribute the remaining spiritual herbs to everyone.

Moreover, most of the spiritual herbs in the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain are three hundred years old and one hundred years old. The disciples of the four sects have reaped a lot of rewards and are very happy.

With Chen Yuan leading the way, everyone was not worried about falling into danger on the road, nor was they in a hurry to leave the inner ring.

It was not until the day before the secret realm was closed that they left the inner ring and headed for the receiving place.

……

Outside the secret realm, at the top of Dongxu Mountain.

The Lingguang Gate stands in the air, appearing and disappearing, emitting colorful streams of light from time to time, illuminating the top of the mountain.

The six sects' Jindan elders stood with their hands behind their backs in front of the Lingguang Gate, quietly waiting for their disciples to come out of the secret realm, their eyes looking quite solemn.

For this trip to the secret realm, all major sects sent out their elite disciples, and they joined forces in pairs to fight for the spiritual herbs. The battle must have been extremely fierce.

They were all a little worried. If their own disciples suffered losses, not only would they not be able to collect enough spiritual herbs, but they would also have fewer seeds to advance to the foundation-building stage in the future.

But among the six sect elders, cultivator Xie was completely different. He had a smile on his face and a distant gaze towards the horizon, as if he had already made up his mind about this trip to the secret realm.

The handsome Taoist couldn't stand his expression and said coldly: "It seems that Taoist Xie has great confidence in his disciples."

After hearing this, several Jindan cultivators looked at the cultivator named Xie with puzzled expressions.

Although Zi Yang Sect had the most disciples entering the secret realm, Gui Yuan Sect's strength was at the bottom among the six major sects.

If the disciples of the other four sects join forces in pairs, they may not necessarily lose to the disciples of Zi Yang Sect and Gui Yuan Sect.

The monk surnamed Xie smiled but said nothing, still looking at the horizon and ignoring the handsome Taoist priest.

Four years ago, Elder Qi developed a strange secret technique from the "Demon God Sutra" that can implant a demon pill into the body of a Qi-refining cultivator, allowing him to have strength comparable to that of a second-level demon beast in a short period of time.

From then on, Zi Yang Sect began to recruit low-level disciples who could withstand the fourth-level demon pill. More than twenty Qi Refining Tenth-level cultivators died before they got nine demon pill cultivators.

For this trip to the secret realm, Zi Yang Sect sent all nine people into the secret realm. Under their leadership, naturally no one could stop them.

The order issued by the cultivator surnamed Xie was to let these nine demon pill cultivators lead the disciples of the two sects to kill all the disciples of the four sects they met and snatch all the spiritual herbs from their hands.

Only the Zi Yang Sect has such strength and dares to risk the world's condemnation and leave no way out when the six sects join forces to fight against the evil cultivators.

As time slowly passed, it was finally time to lead the disciples out of the secret realm.

The formation master of Tiangang Sword Sect reported the matter to Taoist Ying Ting, who then told them that six Jindan cultivators came to the formation plate hanging in the air and injected their magic power into it.

After a while, colorful lights began to fly out from the Lingguang gate, fell to the ground, and revealed their shapes.

In the next quarter of an hour, a total of seven or eight disciples left the secret realm in scattered groups, including disciples from various sects.

Suddenly, seven colorful streams of light flew out together, landed on the ground, and transformed into seven disciples of Zi Yang Sect.

The person in the lead was a demon pill cultivator.

The monk surnamed Xie's eyes lit up slightly, and he transmitted the message:

"How did things go?"

The demon pill cultivator nodded slightly, not daring to say too much, and walked behind Elder Qi with several of his fellow disciples.

The monk surnamed Xie was certain in his heart, and the smile on his face became even more intense.

After the demon pills were implanted in the bodies of these nine people, their strength completely crushed the Qi-refining cultivators. When they take action, they will definitely leave no one alive.

The various sects would not even know that it was the monks of Zi Yang Sect who killed all of their disciples.

This trip to the secret realm will surely cause great damage to the other four major sects, leaving them without successors.

Once the evil cultivators are defeated, Zi Yang Sect will be able to truly unify the Qi State's cultivation world and turn the goal that the sect's cultivators have been pursuing tirelessly for thousands of years into reality.

The cultivator surnamed Xie was filled with emotion, and he sent a message to Elder Qi: "Senior Brother Qi, you have made great contributions to this trip to the secret realm. I will not only find a disciple with physical cultivation aptitude for you, but will also spare no effort to find the second half of the Demon God Sutra for you."

Elder Qi's eyes flickered, and he said calmly: "Thank you for your kindness, Junior Brother. The Demon God Technique is an ancient miracle that is hard to find. Junior Brother, just do your best. I am old now, and I only hope to have a good disciple to carry forward this technique, so that it will not be in vain for the hard work I have spent on it."

After saying this, he stopped talking and slightly closed his eyes.

Upon seeing this, monk Xie stopped sending messages to disturb his disciples and waited quietly for them to leave the secret realm.

But in the next two hours, only six or seven Zi Yang Sect disciples came out from the Lingguang Gate one after another, and the face of the cultivator surnamed Xie became more and more ugly.

According to his idea, after the secret realm was opened, the disciples of Zi Yang Sect should have filed out under the leadership of nine demon pill cultivators.

But after such a long time, only a few disciples left the secret realm, which made him feel uneasy.

However, what comforted cultivator Xie a little was that not many disciples from the other four sects came out of the Lingguang Gate, and the number was similar to that of the Ziyang Sect.

This should be the work of the demon pill cultivator, who killed all the disciples of the four sects. The purpose of this trip to the secret realm was achieved.

Suddenly, more than a dozen colorful streams of light flew out from the Lingguang Gate, and all the Jindan cultivators from various sects turned their eyes over.

This is the first time that such a large number of cultivators have left the secret realm. I wonder which sect they are from?

When the monk surnamed Xie saw this, he smiled, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Apart from the demon pill cultivators of Zi Yang Sect, who else could gather so many disciples?
