Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

Chapter 238 Escape
This old voice was extremely unfamiliar. At the same time, a waterfall of fire fell from the sky, blocking Chen Yuan's way.

This waterfall is entirely formed by blazing white flames, like an unfolding scroll falling naturally, rushing down three thousand feet, and being a hundred feet wide, majestic and magnificent.

The air at the edge of the fire waterfall was all distorted and deformed due to the high temperature. Wherever it passed, all the white clouds disappeared. The fierce gale in the sky could not blow the fire waterfall at all.

Chen Yuan's face changed drastically, and with a thought, the Duyun Boat immediately changed direction.

However, the magical power of Fengluan in the Duyun Boat was stimulated, and its flying speed was too fast to be controlled. It drew an arc in the air and passed dangerously in front of the fire waterfall.

At this moment, the blazing white flames in the fire waterfall suddenly rose, like waves stirred up by huge rocks. Countless sparks splashed and condensed into tall fire walls on all sides, trapping the Duyun Boat inside.

The four walls of fire were about several dozen feet apart. Chen Yuan hurriedly controlled the Duyun Boat to stop, but he was unable to escape another ten feet.

The blazing white flames rose high, and boundless heat waves surged. The wooden mask on Chen Yuan's face silently turned to ashes. His face turned red, as if it would be burned to ashes in the next moment.

The Duyun Boat also made a slight strange sound under the scorching white flames. The Fengluan phantom wrapped around the boat let out an unwilling scream and broke into pieces. The surface quickly became dry and emitted a faint white smoke.

Chen Yuan had no choice but to put the Duyun Boat into the storage bag and perform the secret technique of the giant spirit body. His body grew to about eight feet in height and took on a bronze luster. His physical strength increased greatly, and with the protective power of the top-grade robes, the pressure brought by the blazing white flames was greatly reduced.

But the next moment, the old voice came into Chen Yuan's ears again: "Don't panic, my friend. I have no ill intentions. I just want to help you avoid Liu Fan's pursuit!"

A huge flaming palm fell from the sky, ten feet in size. The palm lines made of blazing white flames were clearly visible, covering the sky and the sun, grabbing towards Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan stared at the flaming hand, took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and rushed forward!

This old voice sounded strange yet familiar. He didn't know which Jindan cultivator had made the move, nor did he know why this person had made the move, but no matter what, he would not surrender!
Just as Chen Yuan was about to fight to the death, Jin Luoheng's cold voice came: "Fellow Daoist Qi, why did you attack Jin's disciple!"

A huge dark black tortoise shell suddenly appeared above Chen Yuan's head, shining brightly. Under the tortoise shell, the shadow of a ferocious black tortoise condensed into shape, protecting Chen Yuan inside.

boom!
The black tortoise stomped its thick hooves in the air, creating a layer of dark ripples. The four walls of fire collapsed, and the waterfalls of fire broke apart, leaving only a few thin tongues of fire connected.

Chen Yuan only felt that the boundless heat wave around him suddenly disappeared, as if he had suddenly jumped into an ice river in the scorching hot summer, and a chill that penetrated into his bones enveloped him.

At this moment, the flaming hand collided with the tortoise shell, making a shocking sound. The tortoise shell suddenly sank several feet. The phantom of the black tortoise let out a shrill roar, and the three fingers of the flaming hand were broken and became incomplete.

But then the flaming hand slapped down again, and an old voice sounded: "Haha, Fellow Daoist Jin, please be patient. I have no ill intentions. I just can't stand the demon cultivators bullying the weak, so I'm here to protect your disciples..."

Chen Yuan finally recognized who this person was. He was Elder Qi from Zi Yang Sect who had researched the secret technique of making demon pills!
In the sky, Jin Luoheng ignored the Blood Spirit Sect demon cultivator in front of him and turned to look at a white-haired old man thousands of feet away. A trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he said in a voice transmission: "Jin's disciple, Jin will take care of it, so don't worry about it, Brother Qi!"

He raised his hand and the strange patterns on the dark black tortoise shell suddenly lit up. The phantom of the black tortoise looked up to the sky and let out a long roar. In the void of a thousand feet in radius, huge waves arose, completely submerging the broken flaming palm!

Hissing sounds continued to be heard, mist rose, and the figures of all the cultivators within a thousand feet radius became blurred.

Chen Yuan, who was in the center of the fog, disappeared completely.

But the mist could not block the consciousness of a Jindan cultivator. Thousands of feet in the sky, more than 20 miles away from Chen Yuan, Elder Qi, who had white hair and beard but smooth and delicate cheeks, stared at Chen Yuan, who had turned into a bronze giant in the mist, with an eager gaze. He raised his hand and made a gesture, ready to attack again.

A beautiful picture of mountains and rivers hung in front of him, which turned into thousands of rocks, valleys, rivers and streams, and steadily blocked the attack of a late Jindan demon cultivator on the opposite side.

When one's cultivation has reached this level, it is difficult to determine the winner easily. Although Elder Qi is at a disadvantage in all aspects, the evil cultivator cannot break through his defense for a while, so he has the opportunity to attack Chen Yuan.

However, as a late Jindan cultivator, he attacked a junior repeatedly, and the noise was so loud that it attracted the attention of more than a dozen Jindan cultivators around him.

When the wooden mask on Chen Yuan's face was destroyed, Xie Chaohong recognized his identity and a surge of anger rose in his heart.

It was this boy who destroyed his plan in the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain, causing his reputation within the sect to be damaged. In the competition for the next sect leader, he lost to another senior brother who was in the late Jindan stage. He was unable to receive the sect's full support for training, and his hopes of forming an infant were greatly reduced.

Xie Chaohong therefore hated Chen Yuan to the core. Although he did not dare to openly cause trouble for Chen Yuan due to the righteous cause of the six sects joining forces to fight the enemy, he privately asked the disciples of Ziyang Sect to look for Chen Yuan's whereabouts.

Three years ago, two Zi Yang Sect disciples saw Chen Yuan outside the oasis, reported the matter to him, and said that Chen Yuan was ordered by Zhuge Qi to return to the sect for recuperation.

Xie Chaohong immediately chased after him, but he didn't see Chen Yuan all the way to Lingyun Sect, so he had to give up.

But even though Xie Chaohong hated Chen Yuan so much, he would not attack him in public. Seeing that Elder Qi was willing to use his magical powers to deal with Chen Yuan, he was shocked and immediately sent a message to Elder Qi: "Senior Brother Qi, please wait!"

"I know you deeply hate this boy for ruining our plan, but this is the time for a decisive battle. If you attack the youngsters of Lingyun Sect, wouldn't that ruin the plan of the six sects to join forces?"

Zhuge Qi also noticed Elder Qi's actions, but he did not stop him directly. Instead, he sent a message to a handsome young cultivator: "Brother Qi, did you attack the younger generation of my Lingyun Sect at the instruction of Brother Leng?"

This young cultivator was none other than Leng Hui, the person in charge of this battle for Zi Yang Sect. His status in Zi Yang Sect was even higher than that of Xie Chaohong.

He was fighting fiercely with a Jindan demon cultivator. Upon hearing what was said, he comforted Zhuge Qi and then sent a message to Elder Qi, asking him to stop immediately.

The elders of the other four major sects and the Jindan demon cultivators also noticed the unusual situation here.

But they had no time to be distracted and were all concentrating on dealing with their opponents. Only a few cultivators in the late Jindan stage, who were unable to determine the winner with their opponents, had the time to pay attention to this matter.

There are many Foundation Establishment cultivators who are invincible on the battlefield and unbeatable at the same level, but there are only a few Jindan cultivators in the entire Donghua Continent who can kill opponents of the same level in just a few rounds.

At the same time, thousands of feet in the sky, a group of Nascent Soul cultivators also noticed Elder Qi attacking Chen Yuan.

When Chen Yuan performed the secret technique of the giant spirit body, these Nascent Soul cultivators saw it clearly, but they did not take a Foundation Establishment cultivator seriously at all.

For low-level cultivators, physical cultivation is extremely rare, but in Donghua Continent, there are still some physical cultivation inheritances, and the Nascent Soul cultivators present have all heard of them or seen them with their own eyes.

There was even a Nascent Soul cultivator who was somewhat famous throughout the entire Donghua Continent.

However, the fight between two late Jindan cultivators over this foundation-building cultivator forced them to take it seriously.

A Nascent Soul Demon Cultivator glanced at Taoist Duqing and Xuanyuanzi and smiled teasingly.

Several other Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators also showed sarcasm on their faces, ready to laugh at the joke of Zi Yang Sect and Ling Yun Sect.

Xuan Yuanzi looked indifferent, and secretly sent a message to Taoist Du Qing: "Daoyou Du Qing, you must give me an explanation for this matter."

Taoist Du Qing frowned and replied, "Don't worry, Taoist Xuanyuan, Junior Brother Qi is disregarding the overall situation. After this battle, I will punish him severely!"

Then he immediately sent a message to Elder Qi and shouted at him to stop.

He was a close friend of Elder Qi's deceased master and usually took good care of Elder Qi. But now was the moment of the decisive battle, and Elder Qi violated the ban and attacked the younger generation of Lingyun Sect, which made Taoist Du Qing very angry.

Fortunately, Elder Qi did not intend to kill him, and Du Qing Daoist saved his face by only sending a message to stop him. Elder Qi finally came to his senses after receiving messages from several people. The eagerness in his eyes slowly faded, and his face was as gloomy as water. He glanced at Chen Yuan below unwillingly, snorted coldly, and stopped attacking, concentrating on fighting the enemy.

At this time, the fog that was spreading was gradually dissipated by the strong wind over the desert, revealing Chen Yuan's embarrassed figure.

Although he had a tortoise shell to protect him, the aftermath of the fight between the two late Jindan cultivators still caused his top-grade robes to become tattered and blood to flow from all his orifices, looking horrifying.

Fortunately, after he performed the secret technique of the giant body, his physical body was comparable to that of a fifth-level monster. The injuries on his body only looked serious, and he would be able to recover after a few days of rest.

He raised his head, looked through the thin mist, along the remaining waterfall of fire, and took a deep look at Elder Qi in the distance, with a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

Jin Luoheng's voice rang in his ears: "Hurry back to the oasis. Qi Yuanshan is determined to kill you. Your teacher still needs to fight the enemy and cannot protect you all the time!"

As soon as the words fell, the black tortoise shadow roared, slowly dissipated, and the dark black tortoise shell flew high into the sky.

Chen Yuan took a deep breath, bowed deeply to Jin Luoheng, then stroked his storage bag and summoned the Duyun Boat.

At this moment, a faint blood shadow suddenly flew out from the thin mist and entered Chen Yuan's body.

Chen Yuan's face changed, and his spiritual sense immediately swept through his body, and he found a blood-red light spot the size of a grain of rice in a tiny meridian.

As his mind moved, the true energy in his dantian poured into this meridian and washed through it, but the blood-colored light spot remained intact.

Chen Yuan suddenly raised his head and looked at Liu Fan, who had returned to a height of a thousand feet, with a solemn expression.

Liu Fan smiled coldly and said in a voice transmission: "Wei Wuding, I will leave the two magic weapons with you. I will take them back in person in the future!"

After saying this, he no longer paid attention to Chen Yuan and concentrated on dealing with Wang Xian, whose flying sword was so sharp.

Chen Yuan stared at Liu Fan for a while, then looked at Xie Chaohong and Elder Qi, nodded slightly, then steered the Duyun Boat and came in front of Lin Hao.

Two Jindan cultivators attacked Chen Yuan one after another, and there were no other cultivators within a thousand feet radius.

Lin Hao stared at Chen Yuan in a daze. He only realized today that he didn't understand Chen Yuan at all.

This Junior Brother Chen is not only an invincible physical cultivator of the same level, but he also provoked two Jindan cultivators, one of whom is in the late Jindan stage. It is truly a miracle that he can still live to this day.

Chen Yuan stroked his storage bag, took out a few wooden boxes and a few talismans, then pointed his fingers and the talismans flew up by themselves and stuck to the wooden boxes.

Then he had a thought and left his spiritual imprint on the talisman. Then he raised his hand and waved, and several wooden boxes flew in front of Lin Hao.

Lin Hao looked down at the wooden box and asked puzzledly: "What is this?"

Chen Yuan spread his consciousness and set up a barrier around him to prevent the consciousness of those Jindan cultivators from spying on him. He said in a deep voice: "Brother Lin, please give these wooden boxes to Master and tell him that I cannot show my filial piety in front of Master. I can only offer this to Master. Please forgive me."

Lin Hao's expression changed: "Junior brother, what do you mean?"

Chen Yuan did not answer, and continued: "I set up these talismans not because I am worried about you, but this matter is of great importance. I dare not be careless. I hope you can forgive me."

"This jade slip contains some insights into forming a pill, so I'll give it to you, Senior Brother."

"These two magical instruments are for Senior Brother Sun and Senior Sister Shen. Please ask Senior Brother to pass them on for you."

After saying that, he stroked his storage bag, took out a jade slip and two top-grade spiritual weapons, and presented them to Lin Hao.

Lin Hao's face changed, and he was about to say something, but Chen Yuan said again: "The battlefield is dangerous, take care, Senior Brother!"

He bowed deeply to Lin Hao, withdrew his spiritual consciousness, activated the power of Feng Luan, and the speed of the Duyun Boat increased suddenly, and it shot out.

Lin Hao looked at Chen Yuan's receding back, sighed, put away the wooden box, jade slip and two top-grade spiritual weapons, and returned to the fight.

Chen Yuan drove the Duyun Boat at full speed towards the oasis, but no one stopped him.

He was at the edge of the battlefield, where there were not many cultivators. After seeing Chen Yuan kill a demon cultivator in the late foundation building stage with just a few punches, he knew that he was a plague god and did not dare to provoke him.

The Jindan Zhenren of Qi State have the right to punish cowardly monks, but they saw what happened just now and hoped that Chen Yuan would leave the battlefield as soon as possible to avoid any further trouble.

Liu Fan and Elder Qi didn't want to let Chen Yuan leave, but Liu Fan was entangled by Wang Xian, and Elder Qi had to be warned by Taoist Du Qing, so they could only watch Chen Yuan flee into the distance.

Jin Luoheng looked at Chen Yuan with a complicated look. He only found out today that his disciple was a physical cultivator.

Thousands of feet in the sky, a group of Nascent Soul cultivators also took note of this low-level cultivator who had stirred up a storm.

Chen Yuan's spiritual barrier could hide it from Jindan cultivators, but it could not hide it from these Yuanying powerhouses. The things in those wooden boxes were also seen by them.

Bai Yanji glanced at Lin Hao, then stared at Chen Yuan with eager eyes: "This kid can actually come up with such a thing, he must be hiding a big secret!"

Xuan Yuanzi glanced at Bai Yanji and said calmly, "Could it be that Brother Bai is coveting the opportunities of the younger generation who have established their foundation?"

Bai Yanji was startled, then laughed: "Haha, Fellow Daoist Xuanyuan, you are joking. I am just curious for a moment..."

The Grand Elder of Ziyang Sect looked at Xuanyuanzi and said in a deep voice: "The body cultivation secret technique that this boy performed is very similar to the secret technique recorded in the body cultivation technique that Junior Brother Qi obtained. No wonder Junior Brother Qi wanted to attack him. Fellow Daoist Xuanyuan needs to give me an explanation for this matter!"

Xuan Yuanzi said calmly: "Fellow Daoist Yuan, you are joking. There are so many techniques and secrets in the world of immortal cultivation. It is not surprising that there are occasional similarities."

"Besides, this is a matter for the juniors who are building their foundation. Who are you and I? Why should we get involved in it?"

The Grand Elder of Ziyang Sect was a middle-aged cultivator with a dignified look. Upon hearing this, he said in a cold voice: "From what this boy said, it seems that he wants to escape far away..."

Before he finished speaking, Taoist Du Qing said, "Fellow Daoist Xuanyuan is right. The younger generation will handle their own affairs. After this battle is over, we will hand it over to Junior Brothers Leng and Zhuge. What do you think, Fellow Daoist Xuanyuan?"

The monk surnamed Yuan kept silent. Xuan Yuanzi stroked his beard and smiled: "Good!"

While Xuan Yuanzi and the other two were arguing with each other, a group of Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators also looked down at Chen Yuan with their eyes shining.

They also saw what was in the wooden box, but in front of the Nascent Soul cultivator from Qi, they were unable to do anything and could only watch Chen Yuan leave.

Only Yan Zhang could leave a trick on Chen Yuan without anyone noticing, but he looked down on the things in the box and just chuckled: "Interesting..."
