Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

In the square in front of Tongming Palace, as time went by, more and more monks were teleported here.

Wang Lin and Jing Shuhan teleported in one after the other, came in front of Ji Laogui, saluted respectfully, and said in unison: "Disciple greets Master!"

Ji Laogui opened his eyes, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes: "Good disciple, go to the side and rest."

"Yes." The two men bowed again, stepped aside, and sat cross-legged in meditation.

Chen Yuan felt relieved. The two of them were safe and sound, and the possibility of success of the plan increased.

Among the Jindan cultivators present, many knew Wang Lin, and were surprised to see him call Ji Laogui his master.

The famous physical cultivator in Yuqing Sea, the legendary descendant of Kuixing Patriarch, is actually Ji Laogui's disciple. Why did he hide his identity before?

And the look that Taoist Yunhe showed towards Old Ghost Ji became much gloomier.

Apart from Chen Yuan and Old Ancestor Yuntian, who already knew Wang Lin's identity, he was probably the only one present who knew Old Ghost Ji's intentions.

The alchemy grandmaster Shen Yi, either because he was extremely cunning or because he didn't know about the Fulong Chizhen vine, had no reaction to this.

Three days before the Tongming Hall was opened, Mr. Qingliu came here.

Chen Yuan did not dare to reveal his relationship with Mr. Qingliu in front of Patriarch Yuntian, and did not step forward to pay his respects.

Mr. Qingliu seemed to understand Chen Yuan's thoughts. He just glanced at him, walked to the side, sat cross-legged, took out a scroll of bamboo slips, and began to read it.

After that, fewer and fewer monks were teleported to the square, until the last day of the two-month period, when there were a total of five Nascent Soul monks and sixteen Core Formation monks in front of the Tongming Palace, scattered across the square, making it look extremely empty.

Most Jindan cultivators enter Jueling Island for the spiritual herbs in the first two trials and the rewards in the Yibao Pavilion, and they will not enter the Demonic Plain.

The cultivators who can pass through the Demonic Origin are mostly in the late Jindan stage. The cultivation levels of Chen Yuan, Wang Lin and Jing Shuhan can only be ranked at the bottom.

There is still half an hour left before the Tongming Palace is opened, and Ji Laogui finally can't sit still anymore.

He opened his eyes, bowed to Patriarch Yuntian and the others, and asked, "I wonder if you have seen Fellow Daoist Wen in the Demonic Plain?"

Shen Yi smiled and said, "I have only encountered monsters along the way, and have never seen anyone else."

Lay Buddhist Qingliu looked away from the bamboo slips and shook his head slightly: "Are you talking about the fellow Taoist with the skeleton embroidered on the corner of his clothes? I have never seen him."

Patriarch Yuntian and Taoist Yunhe both gave the same answer, and Old Ghost Ji frowned even more tightly.

Several Jindan cultivators lowered their heads slightly, with a hint of satisfaction flashing in their eyes.

They all had good friends who died at the hands of Wen Qingxiang, but they were not strong enough to take revenge. When they saw that he failed the trial, they were secretly happy.

The Nascent Soul cultivators entered the Jueling Island not for the magic cores of the monsters in the Demonic Origin.

They couldn't take revenge, but they felt very happy to see Wen Qingxiang suffer a setback.

Half an hour passed quickly, and then a bell rang, coming from nowhere, vague and long, lingering for a long time.

Chen Yuan opened his eyes. He had been resting with his eyes closed. When he heard the bell, he immediately woke up and stood up from the ground.

The tightly closed door of Tongming Palace slowly opened to both sides, and the thick white fog at the edge of the square slowly dissipated.

Chen Yuan looked up and saw the same scene as he had seen in front of the Tongtian Palace, with broken walls and ruins.

Everyone else also stood up. Old Ghost Ji shook his hands heavily and strode towards the Tongming Palace with a face as gloomy as water.

Everyone could see that he was upset because Wen Qingxiang failed the test. "Follow me into the hall!" Ji Laogui took two steps and suddenly said coldly.

Wang Lin stood up and followed with an expressionless face.

Jing Shuhan glanced at Chen Yuan casually, then followed him, and the three of them walked into the Tongming Hall together.

Upon seeing this, Patriarch Yuntian also stood up and walked towards Tongming Palace.

Without waiting for him to remind him, Chen Yuan stood up and followed, one body position behind Ancestor Yuntian.

After these few people set off, the other three Nascent Soul cultivators did not delay any longer and stood up and walked towards the Tongming Hall.

The Jindan cultivators did not dare to overstep their boundaries and could only wait where they were.

Chen Yuan followed Patriarch Yuntian into this magnificent hall and was immediately attracted by a stone statue.

The furnishings and decorations in the Tongming Hall are very similar to those in the Tongtian Hall. The only difference is that instead of two teleportation arrays in the depths of the hall, there stands a stone statue about ten feet tall.

The material used for the stone statue is the most common bluestone. It is carved with a young monk with a handsome appearance, a slight smile on his lips, and a green shirt. He stands with his hands behind his back, looking down at the people who walk into the hall with a gentle look.

In front of this stone statue, there is a square altar with a copper incense burner on it, with light smoke and sandalwood curling up.

Next to the incense burner, more than twenty palm-sized jade tablets were lined up.

Old Ghost Ji walked to the altar, clasped his hands together, and bowed deeply to the ordinary stone statue.

When he stood up, a jade tablet on the altar slowly flew up and fell into Ji Laogui's hand. It was a Tongtian Order.

Wang Lin and Jing Shuhan also stepped forward and saluted respectfully. Two Tongtian Orders flew up from the altar and fell into their hands.

After getting the Tongtian Order, the three of them turned around and left, walking out of the Tongming Palace.

Patriarch Yuntian came to the altar, bowed deeply to the stone statue, and a Tongtian Order flew into his hands.

After Patriarch Yuntian had performed the salute, Chen Yuan stepped forward and bowed deeply.

The next moment, a Tongtian Order flew up from the altar and fell into his hands.

Holding this Tongtian Order, a feeling of harmony arose in his heart. Chen Yuan had an illusion that this Tongtian Order seemed to be a part of his body and no one could take it away.

Suppressing this strange feeling, Chen Yuan followed Patriarch Yuntian and walked out of Tongming Hall.

Taoist Yunhe, Shen Yi and Buddhist Qingliu all entered the hall, bowed in front of the stone statue in turn, and each took away a Tongtian Order.

They did not have the airs of Nascent Soul cultivators at all, and no one dared to directly take the Tongtian Order from the altar.

At the beginning of the opening of Jueling Island, there were Nascent Soul cultivators who disrespected the stone statues and took orders without authorization. Without exception, they all died under the thunder from the sky.

From then on, no one dared to disrespect the stone statue. Even great monks had to bow to the stone statue when entering the Tongming Hall.

When Chen Yuan walked out of the Tongming Hall, Patriarch Yuntian had already taken off on a beam of light and flew out of the square. Chen Yuan held the Tongtian Order tightly and followed him.

Only those holding the Tongtian Order can enter the Jueling Island. This not only refers to participating in the three trials, but also means entering the real Jueling Island.

If a cultivator without the Tongtian Order leaves the square, he will be struck to death by thunder from the sky, just like those who disrespected the stone statue in the past.

No one knows where the thunder comes from. It seems that there is a pair of eyes watching everyone from nowhere. If you violate the rules of Jueling Island, you will be punished by thunder. (End of this chapter)
