Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

In the dim sky, a flash of lightning struck, illuminating Chen Yuan and Jing Shuhan who were flying in the air.

After the two entered the Wind and Thunder Sea, they had been flying for a day and a night.

The deeper you go into the Wind and Thunder Sea, the stronger the wind becomes. The sea is windy and the waves are rough. Huge waves nearly ten feet high reach out to the sky, as if trying to pull down the layers of dark clouds in the sky.

Thunder and lightning also appeared more frequently, with flashes of lightning and roars of thunder, shocking people's hearts, and turning the sky and the sea into a dazzling silver-white color.

There are no living creatures in the sea. The power of wind and thunder rules the world, and the sea is dead silent.

During the flight, Jing Shuhan would suddenly change direction, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, but no matter when, she was extremely confident about the road ahead and never hesitated.

Chen Yuan did not ask about the route to the island. Even if he asked, Jing Shuhan would not be able to tell him.

He just followed Jing Shuhan quietly, spreading out his spiritual sense, paying attention to all movements within thirty miles around him, while also being on guard against Jing Shuhan.

He would not let down his guard against Jing Shuhan until he saw the island and the group of thunder beasts.

The thunder beast was indeed hard to find. Throughout the day, the two traveled day and night and flew for tens of thousands of miles, but they did not see the shadow of a thunder beast.

This is not accurate enough. The two once heard a desolate roar. Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw a silver figure as big as a mountain flash by in the thick clouds.

The moment he saw that figure, Chen Run trembled all over. A deep chill rose from the bottom of his heart, enveloping his entire body, as if he had fallen into an ice cave made of ten thousand years of ice.

This was definitely a thunder beast, a thunder beast far beyond his imagination.

It took a long time for Chen Yuan to come back to his senses. Jing Shuhan was in an even worse state than him. Her pretty face was pale and full of fear.

Chen Yuan exhaled lightly: "Let's go, such a powerful thunder beast can absorb the thunder at will, and will travel in the thundercloud for the rest of its life and will never leave."

Jing Shuhan nodded slightly, identified the direction, and continued to fly forward.

The encounter with the mountain-like thunder beast was just an episode, and then the two of them continued their journey quietly until now.

Rumble!
Suddenly, a long thunder sounded in their ears, overwhelming all the thunder in the sky. It was as if someone was beating a huge drum next to their ears, deafening them.

They both looked in the direction where the thunder came from, but could not see anything.

Although thunder struck from time to time, the sea of ​​wind and thunder was still extremely dark under the cover of dark clouds, making it difficult to see far away.

The thunder occurred at a distance too far away for the two men to see it at all.

At this moment, a feeling of freshness suddenly came over me, just like walking in a field full of flowers and grass in spring, with the breeze carrying the faint scent of flowers and grass, giving people a sense of vitality.

"Could it be Yi Mu Thunder Crystal?" Jing Shuhan's eyes lit up.

"It's almost certain. Let's go and investigate." Chen Yuan nodded.

He turned his body and flew in the direction where the refreshing feeling came from. Coincidentally, that was also the direction where the thunder came from.

Jing Shuhan followed behind Chen Yuan, and the two of them sped up their escape. In less than two quarters of an hour, they had escaped more than three hundred miles and arrived at a desolate sea.

A green crystal was suspended in the air. It was about one foot in size, round and translucent. There was a lightning-shaped mist running through the crystal, which kept changing. From time to time, light green arcs of electricity appeared around the crystal, making crackling sounds.

Above the crystal, a crack several dozen feet wide appeared in the dark clouds, and wisps of green spiritual light fell from the sky, like tassels hanging from the clouds, landing in the green crystal.

This crack is inconspicuous among the dark clouds, but the flashing green light in it is extremely pure wood-attributed spiritual energy. It is particularly conspicuous in the sea of ​​wind and thunder filled with thunder and wind-attributed spiritual energy.

Jing Shuhan's eyes lit up: "It is indeed Yimu Thunder Crystal!"

Just as she was about to fly forward, she suddenly stopped, suppressed her excitement, turned around and said to Chen Yuan: "This piece of Yimu Thunder Crystal should belong to you, fellow Taoist."

"Oh? I think the fairy seems to be quite interested in this thunder crystal." Chen Yuan said lightly.

Jing Shuhan looked at the Yimu Thunder Crystal reluctantly and said sternly, "I was able to pass the first test thanks to the help of fellow Taoists. Now that the Thunder Beast is nowhere to be seen, how dare I covet this Thunder Crystal again."

"Since the fairy is sincere in giving it to me, I will not refuse it." Chen Yuan smiled, and with a flash of his body, he came to the front of the green crystal.

Jing Shuhan was quite sensible. If she insisted on having this green crystal, Chen Yuan would never give it to her.

He carefully looked at the green crystal in front of him, and the memories of Master Qingyou emerged in his mind. He snapped his fingers and a fire crow flew out.

Zizi!

A green arc of electricity flew out, destroying the ray of true energy and flew towards Chen Yuan with great momentum.

Chen Yuan did not block it and let the electric arc hit his body, making a crackling sound, but he himself was unharmed. Instead, he felt a tingling and comfortable feeling.

"The creation of heaven and earth is truly mysterious. If this piece of Yi Mu Thunder Crystal is placed in the hands of someone who practices thunder magic, it will be able to add another magical power of Yi Mu Divine Thunder." Chen Yuan praised.

He no longer held back, and with a single point of his finger, countless fire crows flew out, triggering green arcs of electricity in the crystal, with crackling sounds continuing incessantly.

The green electric arc easily defeated the Fire Crow. This was pure Yi Wood Divine Thunder, which had both thunder and wood auras, with the thunder aura being the dominant one. Although the Fire Crow was a fire spell that restrained wood spells, it was vulnerable in front of thunder spells.

But the fire crows released by Chen Yuan were endless. After consuming hundreds of green arcs, the light on the surface of the green crystal finally dimmed, and no new green arcs could be emitted. The mist inside also shrank a lot, only an inch long.

Chen Yuan smiled slightly, raised his hand and took the wilted green crystal into his hand, then took out a wooden box made of a hundred-year-old spiritual wood from the mustard seed ring, put it in the box, pasted a spirit-sealing talisman on it, and put it away.

He was neither proficient in thunder magic nor in wood-attributed skills, so he could only use this method to slowly dissipate the green electric arc and subdue the thunder crystal.

Thunder crystal is a rare spiritual object, formed by the combination of thunder attribute spiritual energy and spiritual energy of other attributes. It is extremely rare.

But in the sea of ​​wind and thunder, the five elements of divine thunder would occasionally strike, forming five elements of thunder crystals.

All things in the world are included in the five elements, and wind, thunder and sea are no exception.

It is better above the sea surface, as the wind-attributed spiritual energy encompasses everything and can coexist with the five elements spiritual energy.

But the thunderclouds are filled with thunder-attributed spiritual energy, which is extremely domineering. The five elements of spiritual energy are squeezed and condensed. When it reaches a certain level, it will turn into the five elements of divine thunder and fall from the sky.

This is the method used by thunderclouds to expel alien spiritual energy, but in the process, lightning spiritual energy will also be integrated into it. By accident, it forms thunder crystal, a treasure rarely seen in the outside world.

After the thunder crystal is formed, it will at least be a top-grade spiritual material.

This piece of Yi Mu Thunder Crystal is of greatest value to those who practice thunder and wood-attributed techniques. It can be used to refine magical powers such as Yi Mu Divine Thunder, which is extremely powerful.

If it is placed in the hands of other cultivators and used to refine magic weapons, or added to existing magic weapons, it can release the Yi Wood Thunder Power and greatly increase its power.

According to legend, there is also thunder crystal which is equivalent to the best spiritual material. Even Nascent Soul cultivators regard it as a treasure. It can even be of great help to cultivators in surviving thunder tribulations. It is a rare treasure in the world.

After Chen Yuan put away the Yi Wood Thunder Crystal, the cracks in the thunderclouds in the sky shrank, and the remaining wood-attributed spiritual energy dissipated and merged into the heaven and earth.

The two set off again, heading towards the secret island.

……

When Chen Yuan was collecting the Yimu Thunder Crystal, on a deserted island thousands of miles away, a dragon covered with red scales was confronting a golden-winged eagle.

In the middle of the two monsters was a black spiritual herb, about three feet tall, with a purple flower similar to an orchid blooming on the top. It was surrounded by wisps of breeze and was not affected at all by the strong wind, with its petals swaying gently.

The golden-feathered eagle is the one standing behind the charming woman in the square in front of the Tongtian Palace. It is covered with golden feathers and looks extraordinary and majestic.

Its name is Jinsha. It has pure blood and powerful strength. It is quite famous among the three royal families. It accidentally obtained a Tongtian Order and followed the demon king of its clan into Jueling Island to seek an opportunity to transform.

Jinsha's body is not big, just like it was in the square, only ten feet in size. Compared with the ten-foot-long red dragon opposite, it seems particularly small, but it is not inferior in momentum at all.

The Golden-winged Eagle clan prioritizes speed of escape. Even when a demon king transforms into a human form, his true form is only a few feet in size.

"Ao Hui, this Wind Spirit Grass is very useful to me. If you give it to me, I will owe you a favor." Jinsha stared at the red dragon opposite him, his voice a little sharp.

"This Wind Spirit Grass is a thousand-year-old spiritual grass. Although I can't use it, the original form of our clan's Demon King Ao Xun is a green dragon. If I present this Wind Spirit Grass to him, I will definitely get a large reward. Why should I give it to you?" The voice of the red dragon Ao Hui was rough and powerful, sounding somewhat similar to Ao Fang, but far from having Ao Fang's domineering aura.

"Could it be that the favor I, Jinsha, have done is not as good as the mere reward from Demon King Aoxun?" A cold light flashed in Jinsha's eagle eyes.

"One favor is not enough, I want you to do something for me." Ao Hui said.

"What's the matter?"

"Help me kill Ao Bo."

“Impossible!” Jinsha’s eyes were filled with shock as he flatly refused. “Ao Bo’s status in the Jiaolong clan is almost the same as yours, and he has the support of the Aohai Monster King behind him. If I kill him, the clan will definitely not let me go!”

“Who told you that Ao Bo’s status in the clan is almost the same as mine?” A trace of gloom flashed across Ao Hui’s eyes. “Its bloodline is impure, it is no match for me, and it is not worthy of being mentioned in the same breath with me!”

"No matter what, Ao Bo has Ao Hai the Demon King standing behind him. I will not get involved in the internal fighting of the Jiaolong Clan." Jinsha was not moved at all. "If you insist on not giving in, then we can only fight. As long as you beat me, I will retreat immediately, and this Wind Spirit Grass will be yours."

"You are no match for me." Ao Hui said.

"Haha, I'll know after the fight that I just happened to master a new innate magical power. Please teach me, Brother Ao!" Jinsha looked proud, flapped his wings, and was ready to take action.

The golden-winged eagle roams between heaven and earth with a proud character. Jinsha knows that he is probably no match for Ao Hui, but he is not afraid at all.

The most important thing is that even if it cannot defeat Ao Hui, it is confident that it can escape.

The red dragon is not good at escaping, so we will definitely not be able to stop it.

"Wait a minute!" Ao Hui said in a deep voice, "Why are you so impatient? I am not asking you to kill Ao Bo, but to lend me a helping hand so that Ao Bo won't escape. I will do it myself."

"Even if I'm just helping out, I'm also participating in the internal struggle of the Jiaolong clan. If this gets out, the clan will definitely hold me accountable." Jinsha said coldly.

Among the three royal clans in the Wan Yao Sea, the Kunyu clan and the Jiaolong clan have the most powerful bloodlines and the strongest strength.

The Golden-winged Eagle clan is slightly inferior, and their overall strength is also inferior to the other two royal clans. In the past, they have been in charge of the Sirens clan for far less time than the other two royal clans, so no one dares to offend them easily.

The Wan Yao Sea is currently in a period of division, and no royal family can rule the entire Wan Yao Sea. The Jiaolong clan and the Kunyu clan are constantly fighting for control of the demon clan.

The Golden-winged Eagle clan knew their own limitations and dared not get involved.

Jinsha was well aware of the plans of the demon king in the clan, so he would not easily get involved in the internal fighting of the Jiaolong clan just for a wind spirit grass.

"If this thing is added, will Brother Jin change his mind?" Ao Hui opened his mouth and spit out a golden crystal, saying in a low voice.

"Genjin Thunder Crystal?" Jinsha's eagle eyes flashed with brilliance and he cried out in surprise.

This golden crystal is one foot in size, crystal clear and round. Inside it is a mist about an inch long, shaped like lightning. From time to time, a golden arc emerges from the surface. It looks a little listless, but still exudes a sharp aura.

"Yes, this piece of Gengjin Thunder Crystal is of no use to me, but it is very different to Brother Jin. If I add a piece of Fengling Grass and exchange it for Brother Jin to help me once, it should not be difficult, right?" Ao Hui looked at Jinsha, his low voice carrying an indescribable temptation.

Jinsha stared at the Gengjin Thunder Crystal with a shifting gaze, and fell into hesitation.

"You really don't need me to do anything?" it asked.

"Absolutely no lies."

"Where are you going to start, Brother Ao?" Jinsha quietly changed his address.

"If I can't find Ao Bo in this sea of ​​wind and thunder, I will contact Brother Jin again after we leave Jueling Island." Ao Hui said.

"Why did Brother Ao come to me? The Demon King Ao Fang is on Jueling Island. It would only take a piece of cake for the Red Dragon clan to kill Ao Bo." Jinsha still had doubts.

Ao Hui explained: "This matter has nothing to do with my father. Ao Bo has repeatedly provoked me and dared to covet the opportunity to enter the Dragon Pool. I must kill him."

"But Ao Bo has the Ao Hai Monster King behind him. The Red Dragon Clan will not turn against the Blue Dragon Clan for me."

"But it is precisely because of this that as long as I can succeed, Demon King Ao Hai will not be able to do anything to me, and Brother Jin will not be implicated."

"Okay, I promise you!" Jinsha finally made up his mind.

The Wind Spirit Grass can help it cultivate an innate magical power, and the Gengjin Thunder Crystal can allow it to refine the extremely powerful Gengjin Divine Thunder. It can increase its grasp of the magical power when it is undergoing the thunder tribulation of transformation, and it must not be missed.

Ao Hui raised one of his front paws and pushed it forward, and the Gengjin Thunder Crystal slowly flew towards the golden sand.

Jinsha flapped his wings, flashed in front of Lei Jing, opened his mouth, bit it, and swallowed it into his stomach.

Before the monster transforms, it cannot use storage bags or mustard rings, but it can put things inside its body and wrap them up with monster power so that they will not be damaged.

It then picked some wind spirit grass from the ground and swallowed it into its stomach.

"Haha, with Brother Jin's help, we can definitely take Ao Bo's life this time!" Ao Fang smiled slightly, and a hint of murderous intent revealed in his low voice.

……

Lu Gui's eyes blurred and he felt a little dizzy due to the squeezing force of space.

Boom!

A muffled thunder exploded in his ears, waking him up from his dizziness.

He felt his body falling and quickly steadied himself.

I opened my eyes and saw a dark sky and earth in front of me, dark clouds covering the sky, lightning and thunder, and rough winds and waves.

Lu Gui spread out his spiritual sense and found himself on a vast ocean. There were no islands around him, nor any other cultivators or monsters.

He felt relieved, felt the change in the force of the gale, identified the direction, and fled into the depths of the sea of ​​wind and thunder.

The core of the Wind and Thunder Sea is about a thousand miles in radius. Within this range, the power of wind and thunder is the strongest, and the possibility of finding a thunder beast is higher.

Among them, there are several islands that contain rich thunder power and are frequented by thunder beasts.

As Lu Gui recalled the news he got from the elders of Zhenhai Sect, with whom he was on good terms, he increased his speed of escape a little bit.

……

In the Demonic Plain, a strange black fog enveloped the earth. When you were in it, a crazy and bloodthirsty feeling would slowly arise in your heart, and you would want to tear apart all living things you saw.

But this was of no use to the Nascent Soul cultivators and the transformed demon king. Taoist Yunhe was suspended in the air with a calm expression and clear eyes, quietly watching the bald strong man in front of him who was fighting a violent bear.

This is a black violent bear, several meters tall, with blood-red pupils, dragging a long dragon tail, and coarse hair as hard as iron. Long claws extend from the bear's paws, waving them wantonly, leaving afterimages in the air, but it can never touch its opponent.

The bald man was tall and strong, but he was as ghostly as the wind. With one step, he appeared behind the violent bear and punched it. The huge body of the violent bear was like a piece of white paper, flying dozens of feet away, leaving a deep mark on the ground.

The bald strong man flashed and appeared above the violent bear again, punching it several times. The violent bear, which was so ferocious just now, has become dying.

He raised his hand and inserted it into the chest of the violent bear, took out a fist-sized black round bead, put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it deeply, and said with a little regret: "What a pity, the demonic energy in this crystal core is extremely pure, it must have a different flavor."

Taoist Yunhe flew in front of the bald man and said calmly, "Fellow Daoist Kun has a good appetite. He is actually interested in this monster's essence core."

"Everyone knows that my Kunyu clan devours everything. I wonder what important matter has come to me, Daoist Yunhe?" The bald strong man put the black round bead into the mustard seed ring, turned to look at Daoist Yunhe with a cold look.

"This time, I came here to make a deal with you." Taoist Yunhe smiled slightly.

"What deal?" asked the bald strong man.

"Fellow Taoist, you should know about the Fulong Chizhen Vine, right?" Taoist Yunhe said.

"Fulong Chizhen Vine?" The bald strong man frowned, "Of course I have heard of it, but this spiritual medicine is in the Yellow Sand Secret Realm, and my demon clan cannot enter."

"The effect of the Fulong Chizhen vine in extending life by two hundred years is useless to my demon race. Could the deal you made with me be related to this?"

"That's right." Taoist Yunhe nodded. "Although the demon race cannot enter the Yellow Sand Secret Realm, your son has human blood, so he can definitely enter the Yellow Sand Secret Realm."

"As long as your son can help me seize the Fulong Red True Vine, I will give you a piece of Cangming Stone."

"Cangming Stone! You actually have this thing in your hand!" The bald strong man was very surprised.

Taoist Yunhe raised his left hand, and a gray stone about a foot in size appeared in his palm. It looked very inconspicuous, but after it appeared, the surrounding space became distorted.

The Cangming Stone is a top-grade spiritual material that contains rich spatial power. It is a treasure to the Kunyu clan who are proficient in space.

"As long as you are willing to let your son help me, I will immediately offer this Cangming Stone after the task is completed."

The bald man stared at the Cangming Stone with a bit of eagerness in his eyes, but soon calmed down and shook his head regretfully: "I can't agree to this. Can Daoist Yunhe change the conditions? I am willing to exchange other treasures for this Cangming Stone."

Taoist Yunhe frowned and said, "Why, Brother Kun, are you worried about your son's safety? Although the Yellow Sand Secret Realm is strange, your son's true form is a Kun fish, so he will definitely not be corrupted by the evil spirit."

"I'm not worried about that, but there are many people who covet the Fulong Chizhen Teng. Yuntian and Ji Laogui are both nearing the end of their lives. If they attack my son, can you stop them?" said the bald strong man.

Taoist Yunhe frowned even more tightly: "As long as you get this Cangming Stone and practice for a hundred years, you will definitely be able to break through the ninth level bottleneck."

"With such conditions, can't you let me put aside my worries about your son's safety?"

"And I promise that I will do my best to ensure your son's safety."

"Fellow Daoist, for the sake of the Fulong Chizhen Vine, you are willing to give up even the Cangming Stone. Why would you care about my son's life? Let's not mention this matter again." said the bald strong man.

Taoist Yunhe's face turned cold, and he took back the Cangming Stone: "Since Fellow Daoist Kun does not agree, this transaction can only be cancelled. Goodbye."

"Wait a minute!" the bald man shouted.

"What's the matter, Brother Kun, do you still want to fight with me? Even if you kill me, you can't get the Cangming Stone." Taoist Yunhe narrowed his eyes.

"Haha!" The bald man laughed. "You misunderstood, fellow Daoist. I was just reminding you that my Kunyu clan also has a longevity elixir. Although it is not as good as the Fulong Chizhen vine, it is not difficult to extend life by several dozen years."

"If you can seize the Fulong Red True Vine this time, then naturally all other matters will be put aside."

"But if you are unlucky enough to fail, I am willing to exchange the longevity elixir in my clan for the Cangming Stone. What do you think?"

Taoist Yunhe's expression eased a little, and he nodded slightly: "This matter is easy to discuss. Whether we can seize the Fulong Chizhen Vine or the Cangming Stone, we can discuss it later. I am also quite interested in the Beiming Spiritual Liquid of the Kunyu Clan."

"Then I will wait for good news from fellow Taoist." A hint of joy appeared on the bald strong man's face.

Taoist Yunhe nodded, turned around and fled away. After a while, his figure disappeared from the bald strong man's sight.

"The Cangming Stone... Such a precious treasure should naturally be left to my son." The bald strong man looked at the direction where Taoist Yunhe left, with a sneer on his face.

……

In the Wind and Thunder Sea, Chen Yuan and Jing Shuhan flew for another day and night, and finally arrived at the core area of ​​the Wind and Thunder Sea.

The strong wind roared past the sea, and every gust of wind was as sharp as a flying sword, enough to easily cut a foundation-building cultivator into pieces.

Jing Shuhan had already cast a spell, condensing a thick layer of light shield around him, wrapping his entire body and blocking out the strong wind.

In order to keep his robes, Chen Yuan had to release his true energy to protect himself.

A strong wind blew from the front, slowing down the speed of their flight by at least half.

If the original escape speed is maintained, the true energy will be consumed extremely greatly, which will not be worth the cost.

The range of his spiritual sense was also greatly reduced. Chen Yuan could only detect the situation within fifteen miles around him. If he went further away, his spiritual sense would dissipate in the strong wind.

Suddenly, a green wall appeared in front of them, and under the reflection of lightning, it was stained with a layer of silver.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, this is the island where a group of thunder beasts live." Jing Shuhan stopped. (End of this chapter)
