Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

In the sea of ​​ten thousand monsters, the wind is strong and the waves are rough.

In an area of ​​sea, Chen Yuan retreated violently to avoid a swordfish that flew out of the sea and headed straight towards him.

He raised his hand and the Feiyun Sword appeared out of thin air, and shouted, "Kill!"

The Feiyun Sword shot out, turning into a stream of light, and slashed at the iron swordfish with lightning speed, leaving a shallow wound.

Chen Yuan raised his hand again, and the Wind and Cloud Bell appeared. It trembled slightly, and the invisible bell sound spread out.

The iron swordfish, which was about ten feet long, fell into the sea, swaying from side to side, its dorsal fin shaking, and stirring up waves.

Under the influence of Fengyunling, he felt dizzy and lost his sense of direction.

Naturally, Chen Yuan would not miss this good opportunity. He swung the Feiyun Sword down continuously, leaving wounds on the iron swordfish's body.

But he soon had to stop. Just when he suppressed this iron marlin, another iron marlin rushed over from the side, and he had to turn to deal with this iron marlin.

"This group of iron marlins are fearless and must not be deterred from fighting. Let's attack together to force the leader of the iron marlins to retreat and leave quickly!" Just as Chen Yuan was dealing with the attack of the iron marlins, Lu Gui's voice came over.

Around Chen Yuan, Lu Gui, Wei Changhong and Mr. Song Shi were also dealing with the siege of the iron marlin.

Among them, Lu Gui was dealing with a level seven iron marlin, while the other two, like Chen Yuan, were fighting two to three level six iron marlin at the same time.

These iron-sailfish monsters have no other natural abilities, but they are incredibly fast, have strong bodies, and are ferocious. They also travel in groups, so they are considered the bullies in the sea of ​​monsters and love to provoke other monsters.

Chen Yuan and his three companions were unlucky. Not long after entering the Sea of ​​Ten Thousand Monsters, they encountered this group of iron swordfish and were besieged.

Fortunately, they are strong enough to deal with it calmly, but if they keep delaying, their flaws will be exposed sooner or later.

They have to continuously consume their true energy to control their magic weapons, but the iron swordfish only needs to use the strength of its physical body, so the consumption of demonic energy is extremely small, and it is better at long battles.

As soon as Lu Gui finished speaking, he raised his hand and pointed at the sky. A layer of azure clouds quickly formed, covering an area of ​​a thousand feet in radius, and endless drizzle fell. This was his most proficient magical power, Thousand Edge Rain!

All of these drizzles were condensed from spiritual light. Upon closer inspection, they were actually extremely sharp cones. They avoided Chen Yuan and the other two, and hit the iron swordfish with tremendous impact force.

Except for the level 7 iron marlin, the other level 6 iron marlin had to dodge and retreat in front of the endless drizzle cones, giving Chen Yuan and the other two a little room.

Chen Yuan immediately pointed his finger and the Feiyun Sword shot out, slashing towards the seventh-level iron flagfish in front of Lu Gui.

Wei Changhong and Mr. Song Shi also used their own magic weapons to besiege the leader of the iron marlin.

Lu Gui had the deepest cultivation and his attack was the most fierce. With a swing of his Fu Hai Ge, hundreds of blue light blades slashed out, completely blocking the Iron Swordfish's retreat.

The Iron Marlin leader, who had always been fearless, finally showed a hint of fear in his eyes when faced with the siege of four people.

It opened its mouth and spit out water arrows all over the sky to resist the blue light blades. Then it swayed its body, leaving an afterimage on the spot, and its real body appeared dozens of feet away.

This was the first time it displayed two of its innate magical powers at the same time when fighting with Lu Gui, breaking the siege in one fell swoop.

But the next moment, the magic weapons of Chen Yuan and the other four attacked again.

However, the leader of the iron marlin was exhausted at the moment, and in desperation he swung his tail fin violently to avoid the most powerful Fu Hai Ge, but was hit by Chen Yuan's Feiyun Sword and Mr. Song Shi's magic weapon. His dorsal fin was cut off, and a large amount of blood mist sprayed out.

The Feiyun Sword's advantage lies in its speed. The injury caused to the Iron Marlin leader was not serious, and its dorsal fin was broken, which was mainly due to Mr. Songshi.

The magic weapon he wielded was a rice brush, with an iron-grey light flowing from the tip of the brush. With each stroke, streaks of ink flew out and landed on the body of the iron swordfish leader, leaving a deep scar.

Chen Yuan could see clearly that this Xuan brush was a mid-level magic weapon, comparable to Lu Gui's Fu Hai Ge.

Seeing that the leader of the Iron Swordfish was seriously injured, several other level six Iron Swordfish rushed over here with the Thousand Edge Rain magical power.

"Cut!" Lu Gui shouted and pointed. The Sea-covering Spear grew to three feet long and chopped down heavily, with the power to split the sea, splitting a level six iron swordfish directly into two pieces!

The other iron marlin were frightened and dared not approach. Chen Yuan and his two companions took the opportunity to attack fiercely, and the iron marlin leader was even more seriously injured.

"Hurry up and go!" Lu Gui took back the Fu Hai Ge, turned around and flew away.

Chen Yuan and the other two did not dare to continue fighting, so they immediately took back their magic weapons and followed Lu Gui away.

The iron marlins dared not pursue them anymore, and they gathered around the iron marlin leader, protecting him and swimming towards the deep sea.

Only the sea water dyed red by blood was left, attracting a group of low-level monsters and sea creatures, which frantically devoured the flesh and blood of the iron swordfish.

……

Chen Yuan and his three companions fled hundreds of miles in one breath and stopped on an island reef about an acre in size.

Lu Gui said: "It seems that these iron swordfish have retreated in the face of difficulties. Let's rest here and continue our journey after our true energy is restored."

Chen Yuan and the other two nodded in agreement, then scattered across the islands and reefs, sitting cross-legged in meditation.

Chen Yuan simply activated the Feiyun Sword and Fengyun Bell to meet the enemy. He did not consume much true energy, but simply absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Mr. Songshi was meditating silently like him, without any special features. Lu Gui took out a piece of top-grade water-attributed spiritual stone and absorbed the spiritual energy from it very lavishly.

Wei Changhong was holding a jade pendant, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth flowed towards him. The speed at which he absorbed the spiritual energy was no less than that of Lu Gui who used high-quality spirit stones.

Chen Yuan's true energy recovered the fastest. He spread out his spiritual sense to investigate the surrounding environment and guard against sneak attacks from monsters.

Out of boredom, he couldn't help but take a closer look at Wei Changhong who was surrounded by rich spiritual energy.

The jade pendant in Wei Changhong's hand was light green in color, wrapped in a layer of faint light, flickering in a very regular pattern like breathing.

After a while, Mr. Songshi also recovered his true energy.

He smiled at Chen Yuan, then took out a yellowed book and began to read it with his head shaking. Sometimes he smiled and nodded, sometimes he frowned, and from time to time he wrote a few words on it with a brush. He was completely immersed in it and ignored everything else.

Chen Yuan glanced at him and then looked away.

He was already accustomed to Mr. Songshi's behavior. Whenever he had some free time during the trip, he would take out his books and study hard.

According to Lu Gui, Mr. Song Shi was a bookworm, and Confucian monks had to recite classics and cultivate a sense of righteousness, so he developed this habit.

Confucianism is very popular in Jiuxianzhou, but is extremely rare in Yuqing Sea.

Chen Yuan and Wei Changhong were quite surprised when they first saw Mr. Song Shi's behavior, but they gradually got used to it.

After a while, Lu Gui and Wei Changhong also recovered and opened their eyes.

The top-grade spirit stone in Lu Gui's hand turned into powder and drifted away with the wind.

Wei Changhong tied a light green jade pendant around his waist, and a faint light flashed from time to time in a very regular manner.

This jade pendant is a low-level magic weapon that has the effect of calming the mind and suppressing evil spirits. Wei Changhong wears it on his body at all times.

Seeing that everyone had recovered their true energy, Lu Gui said in a deep voice: "Let's set off now. That island is deep in the Ten Thousand Monsters Sea, and it will take at least two months to travel there."

Chen Yuan and Wei Changhong both nodded. Mr. Song Shi seemed to be reading with great enthusiasm. He wrote a few lines on the book with a brush in a flamboyant style before putting the book and the brush into the mustard seed ring.

His brush is also a top-grade spiritual tool. The tip of the brush is filled with thick ink and can be written quickly without dipping it in ink.

Mr. Songshi bowed to the three people who were looking at him and said apologetically, "I have learned something. I am sorry for the delay. Let's leave now."

Lu Gui smiled and said, "It's okay. Fellow Daoist Songshi never puts down his book, which is in line with the essence of Confucianism. Once you cultivate a pure and righteous spirit, breaking through the bottleneck of the late stage will be just around the corner."

Mr. Songshi smiled bitterly: "Thank you, Brother Lu, for your kind words. I have wasted sixty years in the middle stage of Jindan, and have tried every possible means, but have never made any progress. I can only place my hope of breaking through in the classics of the ancient sages."

Wei Changhong said: "Fellow Daoist Songshi, why worry? You have the Tongtian Order in your hand. As long as you find those realm-breaking spiritual objects in Jueling Island, you will definitely be able to break through the bottleneck of the late stage."

Mr. Songshi shook his head and said, "Among the Jindan cultivators who entered Jueling Island, most of them were looking for those realm-breaking spiritual objects. How could I, a casual cultivator, dare to compete with them?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Chen Yuan's eyes. Mr. Songshi was not greedy at all.

There are several ancient spiritual creatures on Jueling Island that have long been extinct in the outside world, and they are very effective in helping Jindan cultivators break through.

Every time the Jueling Island is opened, there will be Jindan cultivators who are almost at the end of their life who will enter the Jueling Island to look for these spiritual objects.

It is truly rare that Mr. Song Shi has been stuck at the bottleneck for sixty years without being greedy.

If Chen Yuan's cultivation was not limited by the strength of his physical body, these spiritual objects would be useless to him and he would definitely find ways to fight for them.

The four of them rode on their light of escape and continued on their journey, deliberately flying at a height of a thousand feet to avoid the sea monsters.

Occasionally they would encounter bird monsters, but with the four of them working together, it was not difficult to repel them.

Two months later, the four of them arrived safely at the depths of the Sea of ​​Ten Thousand Monsters.

On this day, Lu Gui suddenly slowed down his speed. The other three people didn't know why, so they stopped and looked at Lu Gui with doubts in their eyes.

Lu Gui swept his eyes over the faces of Chen Yuan and the other two, and said solemnly, "A few hundred miles further, we will reach the island with the golden scale fruit trees."

"That level 7 golden-feathered eagle is extremely alert. We must not alert it."

"If we let it escape and summon the transformed golden-feathered eagle, not only will we not be able to obtain the golden scale fruit, but we will also lose our lives."

Mr. Songshi said, "It's all up to Brother Lu to decide."

Chen Yuan said, "Just do your best. Brother Lu has fought with this golden-feathered eagle before, so he should have a countermeasure, right?"

Wei Changhong frowned and said, "If the four of us join forces, the golden-feathered eagle will definitely not be our opponent. We can just hide our aura and sneak into the island and kill it."

Mr. Songshi shook his head and said, "Daoyou Wei is wrong. The golden-winged eagle has amazing eyesight and can easily see a hundred miles away. We will be discovered by it before we even get close to the island."

Wei Changhong smiled and said, "Then let's wait until night. The demon beasts' spiritual awareness is not as good as that of human cultivators like us. Let's pick a starless and moonless night. There's no way that golden-winged eagle will be able to find us, right?" (End of this chapter)
