Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

Chapter 426 Divine Object
After Xiao Chengmo left, Chen Yuan came to the practice room, sat cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed.

He was about to sit in meditation to practice when he suddenly remembered something. He opened his eyes again and probed his spiritual consciousness into the mustard seed ring.

When he suddenly attacked Xiong Lie, a strange wave suddenly came from the mustard ring.

But it was a critical moment in his fight with Xiong Lie, and he had no time to care about anything else. He was distracted for just a moment, then he forgot about it and concentrated on fighting the enemy.

From then on, that strange fluctuation never appeared again, and he didn't take it to heart.

Today he suddenly thought of this matter and became curious about it, so he used his spiritual consciousness to carefully examine the mustard seed ring.

Chen Yuan frowned slightly. His spiritual sense was comparable to that of a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. It was impossible for him to make a mistake in his perception. That strange fluctuation must be fishy.

The battle with Xiong Lie reappeared in his mind, and he recalled it over and over again from beginning to end.

What on earth caused this strange fluctuation to appear, and I hadn't sensed it before or now...

Suddenly, Chen Yuan's eyes lit up, and he finally understood that it was Kunpeng's real blood!

The battle with Xiong Lie was the first time he activated Kunpeng's true blood after he formed an infant.

It was after he activated Kunpeng's true blood and performed the teleportation technique that he felt that strange fluctuation.

Chen Yuan was delighted, but he did not immediately activate Kunpeng's true blood. Instead, he released his spiritual sense first and set up a barrier around him to block the spiritual sense from detecting.

With his current spiritual awareness, even if a great cultivator wanted to forcibly spy on his secrets, he would be able to detect it.

Chen Yuan probed his spiritual sense into the mustard seed ring, paying close attention to every item.

At the same time, he stimulated Kunpeng's true blood, and a pair of black wings behind him slowly spread out, filling most of the training room.

At the moment when the pitch-black wings were fully spread out, Chen Yuan once again sensed that strange fluctuation and determined where it came from.

He thought about it and took out a piece of animal skin. With a shake of his hand, the skin fell apart.

This is a roll of pitch-black animal skin, about three feet in size, with rough and uneven edges. It looks ordinary, without any demonic aura or spiritual energy, and is no different from the fur of ordinary wild beasts in the mortal world.

He bought this from a cultivator at the tenth level of Qi Refining for thirty medium-grade spirit stones while he was waiting for Cheng Xianmo outside the Treasure Pavilion at an auction in Fanyang Market.

According to the Qi-refining cultivator, this roll of animal skin was obtained from a demon cultivator. It is not afraid of water or fire, and cannot be damaged by magic weapons.

He wanted to refine the animal skin into a defensive magic weapon, but even the earth fire could not damage it at all, so it could not be used to refine the weapon at all. He simply sold it and exchanged it for some spirit stones.

Chen Yuan carefully examined the roll of animal skin at that time and found nothing unusual.

But the smell of the animal skin gave him a vague sense of familiarity, so he bought it.

Since then, the roll of animal skin has been kept in the mustard ring and has never shown any special characteristics. Chen Yuan has completely forgotten about it.

But when he activated Kunpeng's true blood just now, he clearly sensed a subtle but clear strange fluctuation on the animal skin, which flashed away.

When he fought with Xiong Lie before, his sense was not clear enough.

Now, after carefully sensing it, this slight fluctuation is actually very similar to the power of space he mastered after refining Kunpeng's true blood, but it is even more mysterious.

Chen Yuan spread out his spiritual sense and scanned the animal hide inch by inch, but found nothing.

Apart from that fleeting strange fluctuation, there seemed to be nothing special about this roll of animal skin.

Chen Yuan pondered for a moment, and the black wings behind him disappeared. Then he once again activated Kunpeng's true blood, and the wings spread out again. That strange wave emanated from the beast skin again.

He finally confirmed that this strange fluctuation was related to Kunpeng's true blood.

Chen Yuan's mind turned, and he suddenly bit the tip of his tongue, forcing out a drop of blood, which slowly flew towards the animal hide.

He only needed to stimulate Kunpeng's true blood to cause the animal's skin to move abnormally.

If you drip the essence of Kunpeng's real blood directly on it, you should be able to get a glimpse of the true appearance of the animal skin.

The bright red blood fell onto the animal hide, and a layer of dark light shone on the rough surface of the hide, which slowly became smooth, as if the tide at the seaside was slowly receding, revealing the white and delicate sand covered by it.

A mysterious and strange wave was transmitted, which Chen Yuan was very familiar with. This was the space wave produced when he performed the teleportation technique or when his arm was covered with dark light.

But the spatial fluctuations emitted by the animal skin were even more mysterious. At the same time, a faint and desolate long chant reached Chen Yuan's ears.

He was also very familiar with it. This was the cry of the Kun fish, and he had heard it from Kun Feng before.

But this long chant was even more grand. In a trance, Chen Yuan seemed to have turned into a huge Kun fish, swimming in the dark void, and slammed into a dazzling wall of light.

His eyes blurred and he returned to the quiet training room. Everything that had just happened seemed to be an illusion.

After a quarter of an hour, the light on the animal skin slowly dissipated, and this originally ordinary animal skin completely changed its appearance.

It was suspended in the air, its jet-black surface smooth and lustrous, like the finest jade, covered with a layer of mesmerizing deep purple light, emitting bursts of mysterious spatial fluctuations.

Within three inches around the animal hide, tiny gray-white cracks kept appearing out of thin air and then disappearing immediately, like waves rising and dissipating, constantly appearing and disappearing.

Chen Yuan was very familiar with this, this was a space crack.

He stared at the roll of animal skin and even forgot to be alert to his surroundings.

There are not many treasures that can make Chen Yuan lose his mind, but the animal skin can actually generate space cracks on its own. Even the best spiritual materials do not have such a strong space force!

After a long time, Chen Yuan came back to his senses and his spiritual sense swept over the animal skin inch by inch.

The space crack will not swallow up the spiritual consciousness. Chen Yuan's spiritual consciousness seems to have entered a deep and unfathomable void.

A vast and boundless aura enveloped his entire body, causing him to tremble unconsciously.

He took a deep breath, withdrew his spiritual sense, and looked at the animal skin again with an extremely solemn gaze.

This is definitely a treasure, a treasure that is even better than the best spiritual material!

Chen Yuan now finally understood why this roll of animal skin gave him a vague sense of familiarity. The aura emitted by the animal skin was somewhat similar to Kun Feng's aura.

Chen Yuan wanted to seize Kun Feng's demon pill, and he had fought with Kun Feng in the sea of ​​wind and thunder, and remembered his breath deeply.

With a thought, he took out the Kun fish skin and black wings left by Kun Feng from the mustard seed ring.

Kun Feng was injured by the Heavenly Thunder Talisman and the Red Flame Pearl, and his fur and wings were severely damaged.

But he is a descendant of the true spirit after all. The Kun fish skin and black wings he left behind are both top-grade spiritual materials that contain the power of space, emitting mysterious spatial fluctuations.

This kind of fluctuation is similar to the fluctuation emitted by animal skins, but it is much weaker and far less vast and broad than animal skins. There is a world of difference between them.

But no matter how big the difference is, the two are essentially the same. This roll of mysterious animal skin should also be the skin of Kun fish.

The Kun fish that left behind this roll of animal skin is much stronger than Kun Feng, and even stronger than the transformed demon king of the Kun fish clan.

Kun Feng is a descendant of the true spirit. Although he has not yet passed the thunder tribulation of transformation, the purity of his bloodline is not inferior to that of the transformed demon king.

The spatial force contained in this roll of Kun fish skin is so rich and as vast as the ocean. It is definitely not left by the transformed demon king.

Could it be... that this is the relic of a demon cultivator who had reached the state of divine transformation?

Chen Yuan stared at the animal skin, and a guess emerged in his mind.

According to ancient records, tens of thousands of years ago, there was a demon cultivator from the Kunyu clan who achieved divine transformation. He unified the Ten Thousand Demons Sea and led the demon army to counterattack the Yuqing Sea.

Under the leadership of the demon cultivator who had reached the state of divine transformation, the demon army was invincible. They once destroyed two large sects and occupied most of the human territory in Yuqing Sea. They were about to drive the human race back to Jiuxianzhou.

But at this moment, this demon cultivator who had reached the state of divine transformation suddenly disappeared without a trace.

The demon army then withdrew to the Ten Thousand Demons Sea, and the Yuqing Sea was back under the control of the human race until today.

No one knows why the transformed demon cultivator suddenly disappeared. Some say that he was surrounded and killed by human cultivators who had transformed into gods. Some say that he suddenly ascended to heaven. Some say that he fell into danger. There are many different opinions.

Could it be that the divine Kun fish actually died in the siege of human divine cultivators, leaving behind this three-foot-long animal skin?
This may be the hidden truth of the ancient times, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why the divine Kun fish disappeared for no reason.

The lifespan of the demon race is inherently long, at least several times that of cultivators of the same level.

After that, a demon cultivator who had reached the level of a god appeared in the Jiaolong clan and unified the Ten Thousand Demons Sea. Although they no longer led the demon army to counterattack the human race, they still put the human race under great pressure and their territory continued to shrink.

This divine dragon protected the Ten Thousand Demons Sea for nearly ten thousand years. In the end, it was unknown whether it ascended to heaven or passed away, and the human race was able to regain the lost territory and regain the upper hand.

The demon cultivator who had achieved divine transformation in Nanzhou had protected the demon tribe in Nanzhou for more than 10,000 years. To this day, Nanzhou remains a forbidden zone for humans.

The Kun fish clan has a powerful bloodline, and their lifespan is at least ten times that of cultivators of the same level. It is absolutely impossible for that Kun fish to pass away on its own.

He either ascended to the upper realm, was besieged to death, or was killed by some human cultivator.

This roll of animal skin floats quietly in the air, seemingly light as a feather, but it exudes a vast and boundless aura, as if it has passed through thousands of years, carrying the dust of the years, and is ancient and heavy.

But this smell was gradually weakening, and after an hour, the animal skin returned to its original appearance, with a rough and ordinary surface.

Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. After the animal skin revealed its original appearance, spatial cracks continued to appear and disappear around it. It could not be put into the mustard seed ring, and nothing could hold it.

Fortunately, as the power in the essence and blood gradually consumed, the magic of the animal skin also concealed it.

This should be the self-concealment of the divine object. Chen Yuan rolled up the animal skin again and carefully put it into the space inside his body.

Such a treasure must never be shown to others, otherwise it will surely cause a bloody storm.

He took a few deep breaths, calmed his mind, meditated, and waited for Xiao Chengmo's response.

……

The next day, Xiao Chengmo came to Chen Yuan's residence and invited him to enter the Bingling Sect's mountain gate to meet with True Man Ningbing. Chen Yuan gladly accepted the invitation.

The Bingling Sect possesses the only large spiritual vein in Hanzhou, and the spiritual vein is intertwined with the earth vein. The gate of the Bingling Sect is naturally located in a majestic mountain range.

Looking up, you can see a thousand-foot-high peak reaching into the sky, and the surrounding mountains are undulating, stretching for hundreds of miles.

Under the guidance of Xiao Chengmo, Chen Yuan entered the gate of Bingling Sect and came to a mountain peak over 700 feet high.

This peak is not far from the Thousand-foot-high Peak, and it has a strong spiritual aura. Starting from the foot of the mountain, it is covered with thick snow. From the mountainside upwards, the snow condenses into ice, reflecting a cold light under the sunlight.

Chen Yuan noticed that, under the control of the formation, other peaks were like spring all year round with lush flowers and plants, but this peak alone was cold and silent.

Xiao Chengmo seemed to see what Chen Yuan was thinking, and explained: "Senior, my master likes coldness and tranquility, so he removed the formation and created this snow mountain."

"I have one more thing to report to you, Senior. My master is not good at socializing with others. If I have offended you, please forgive me."

Chen Yuan didn't know what Xiao Chengmo meant by "not good at socializing", and felt quite strange, but he couldn't ask him about it, so he could only smile and say, "It's okay."

The two of them landed on the top of the mountain, and in front of them was a steep cliff, facing east, outside Bingling City.

Chen Yuan looked into the distance and under the clear sky, everything was clearly visible a hundred miles away.

The vast wilderness is deserted and there is only an isolated city at your feet. A feeling of loneliness quietly emerges from the bottom of your heart.

"Please come this way, senior. My master is waiting for you in the mansion." Xiao Chengmo raised his hand to gesture, with a respectful look.

Chen Yuan collected his thoughts, turned around, followed Xiao Chengmo, and walked into a cave.

The stone door of the cave was wide open. The two men walked through a passage and came to a stone hall. The walls were covered with a thick layer of ice. It was so cold that their breath turned into ice.

The furnishings in the hall were extremely simple, with only a square table made of ice and two round stools made of ice.

A young girl sat opposite the square table. She was wearing a white dress, had skin as white as cream, lips as red as fire, and looked like a fairy, pure and charming.

But her expression was cold and indifferent, and her eyes were icy and sharp. Anyone who saw her would have all the evil thoughts in their heart disappear immediately.

More importantly, the cold girl had a surging aura all over her body, and it was clear that she had reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage. No matter how beautiful she was, no one dared to offend her.

There was a flash of surprise in Chen Yuan's eyes. He never expected that Master Ningbing would be a woman.

Xiao Chengmo stepped forward and bowed, "Master, this is Senior Chen Yuan."

Chen Yuan bowed and said, "I am Chen Yuan, nice to meet you, Daoist Fellow Ning Bing."

The cold girl smiled slightly, but her expression remained indifferent: "Fellow Daoist Chen, there is no need to be polite, please take a seat." Her voice was pleasant to hear, but also as cold as ice, without any emotion.

Chen Yuan glanced at the ice bench, lifted his collar and sat down without hesitation.

It was not as cold as expected, but rather a cool breeze which was quite comfortable.

"My humble abode is simple and I don't like drinking tea. I'm sorry for my poor hospitality. I hope you can forgive me, Fellow Daoist Chen." Zhenren Ningbing said indifferently, her tone still cold.

Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment. Xiao Chengmo, who was standing behind Master Ningbing, looked apologetic and took out a fiery red coral from the mustard seed ring and placed it on the table.

The fire coral glowed slightly with a light red, emitting bursts of warmth and dispelling the coldness in the hall.

Only then did Chen Yuan understand why Xiao Chengmo said that Master Ningbing was not good at socializing.

Treating guests in this way is simply making enemies.

But he already knew that this was Master Ningbing's nature and it was not directed at him. Although he was a little unhappy, he did not take it to heart.

He smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. We monks, why should we care about those red tapes?"

The cold expression of Master Ning Bing seemed to soften a bit: "From what Cheng Mo said, Fellow Daoist Chen has mastered the art of teleportation?"

Chen Yuan nodded: "I have some experience in space."

"Fellow Daoist Chen is still a physical practitioner?"

"good."

"Fellow Daoist, can you spar with me?" Zhenren Ningbing blinked, and there seemed to be some anticipation in his voice.

Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment again. Xiao Chengmo's expression changed slightly, and he reminded in a low voice: "Master, Senior Chen is visiting for the first time, so it is not appropriate to fight with him."

Master Ning Bing nodded, a trace of regret flashed in his eyes: "That's right, then it won't be too late to discuss it with Fellow Daoist Chen next time he comes to visit."

Xiao Chengmo clasped his fists and bowed to Chen Yuan, his face full of apology.

Chen Yuan couldn't help laughing in his heart. This Master Ningbing was not unsocial, but he simply didn't understand the ways of the world.

How can you argue with a guest when he/she comes to your store for the first time?

If a cultivator who didn't know Master Ning Bing's character saw her indifferent expression and said such a sentence in a cold voice, he would definitely think that she was deliberately provoking him. If he didn't walk away on the spot, he would be considered to have profound cultivation.

Chen Yuan shook his head gently at Xiao Chengmo, indicating that he would not take it to heart, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

True Man Ning Bing added, "Fellow Daoist Chen, you killed Xiong Lie, and you also saved Cheng Mo. This is the information about the transformed demon kings that our sect has collected over the years. Among them is the location of the caves of 28 transformed demon kings. I will give it to you, fellow Daoist."

As she spoke, she raised her sleeve and a jade slip appeared out of thin air on the icy square table.

Chen Yuan was stunned again, swallowed the words he had prepared, clasped his fists and bowed: "Thank you, fellow Taoist, I just happened to meet you by chance..."

"Fellow Daoist Chen, there is no need to be so polite. My humble abode is simple and shabby. Since you cannot exchange ideas with me, you should just accept the jade slip and go back soon." Zhenren Ningbing said calmly.

Chen Yuan was completely stunned. After a while, he picked up the jade slip on the table, probed inside with his spiritual sense, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

He put away the jade slip and bowed: "Then Chen will take his leave."

Master Ning Bing said calmly, "Cheng Mo, please see Fellow Daoist Chen off."

Xiao Chengmo looked apologetic and bowed to Chen Yuan: "Senior, please."

Chen Yuan nodded, stood up, turned and left.

From beginning to end, Master Ningbing did not stand up.

The two walked out of the cave, left the ice peak, flew all the way out of the Bingling Sect's mountain gate, and returned to Chen Yuan's residence.

Xiao Chengmo bowed deeply: "My master is just not good at socializing, she has no other intentions. After I told my master about my predecessor's matter yesterday, she found the headmaster and asked for all the information about the transformed demon king in our sect..."

Chen Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "You don't have to explain. I can see that Fellow Daoist Ning Bing is just like that. She is not targeting me on purpose. Please tell Fellow Daoist Ning Bing that I owe her a favor and I will repay her in the future."

Without saying anything, Master Ningbing handed him the news about the transformed demon king without making any requests.

He could feel the kindness hidden beneath the cold face of Master Ningbing.

Xiao Chengmo finally felt relieved. Although Chen Yuan's cultivation was one level lower than Zhenren Ningbing, he was extremely powerful and had a mysterious origin, so he should not be offended easily.

He took out a jade slip from the mustard seed ring and presented it with both hands: "The ice field is vast and boundless. Senior, you want to go to the ice field to hunt the transformed demon king. It is not easy to find a guide. This is a map of the ice field. Please accept it."

"Brother Daoist Xiao is very thoughtful." Chen Yuan nodded approvingly, stretched out his hand, and took the jade slip in his hand.

After Xiao Chengmo said goodbye and left, Chen Yuan came to the training room, took out the jade slip given to him by Zhenren Ningbing, and probed into it with his spiritual sense.

Just now in the cave of Master Ningbing, he just took a quick look and saw the name of the Cold Jade Lion, but did not look at it carefully.

A full quarter of an hour later, Chen Yuan withdrew his consciousness and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The Bingling Sect really knew the location of the Cold Jade Lion's cave. He took out the ice field map and compared the two. He quickly determined the location of the Cold Jade Lion's cave.

Not only that, he also noted down the caves of the other 27 transformed demon kings one by one, including 25 level eight demon kings and two level nine demon kings.

In Chen Yuan's eyes, these brutal and transformed demon kings were like demon essence pills that could increase his cultivation.

After he killed the Cold Jade Lion and handed its body over to the Haoran Sect, he returned to Hanzhou, hunted monsters, refined Monster Yuan Dan, and improved his cultivation.

……

The next day, Chen Yuan quietly left Bingling City and headed north to the ice field.

Bingling City is still some distance away from the ice field, but Chen Yuan's escape speed is extremely fast. In less than a day, he flew 20,000 miles and entered the ice field.

This is just his escape speed in normal state. If he stimulates Kunpeng's true blood, it can be doubled.

The ice field is in the northern part of Hanzhou. Under the azure blue sky, a frozen world unfolds.

The earth is covered with a thick layer of ice. It is vast and boundless. It looks desolate, but in fact it exudes vitality.

Looking around, you can see herds of wild beasts, shaped like cattle and sheep, but more ferocious and strong, gnawing on the ice on the ground as if they were chewing juicy green grass.

The snow that fell in Hanzhou contained a thin icy aura, which condensed into solid ice. To these wild beasts, it was more delicious than grass.

These beasts gnaw on the solid ice every day, making them more likely to become monsters.

Around these wild beasts, there are wolves, tigers, lions and ice bears lurking, performing the cruelest natural selection and the survival of the fittest.

In this world, wild beasts die every day, but monsters are born every day, day after day, year after year.

As the numbers accumulate year by year, when this ice field can no longer support the existence of so many monsters, a beast tide will break out.

In addition to the wild beasts, there are also a large number of first-level lower-order monsters hunting everywhere.

Their intelligence has been awakened, but they are still extremely ignorant and just absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth instinctively.

It would be better to hunt other monsters, digest their flesh and blood, and increase your cultivation faster.

But starting from the first-level intermediate monster, its intelligence greatly increases, and it actively absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Hanzhou is extremely peculiar. The heaven and earth are filled with rich icy spiritual energy, which is extremely easy to absorb.

The monsters here can improve their strength as long as they concentrate on absorbing spiritual energy.

However, the monsters still have the instinct to eat raw meat and drink blood, and they will still hunt and kill other monsters, but only to satisfy their appetite.

Chen Yuan flew above the clouds, restraining his breath and avoiding the eyes and ears of the monsters.

Along the way, he deliberately avoided the caves of other transformed demon kings, spread out his spiritual sense, and was alert to his surroundings.

Perhaps it was because the ice field was vast, there were only a few transformed demon kings, and they were all cultivating in caves, so nothing happened along the way.

Chen Yuan encountered many level seven monsters, but none of them noticed his presence, and he did not take the initiative to provoke them, but avoided them in advance.

Among them was a blue giant eagle that was about to transform. It was of the same species as the blue giant eagle in the beast tide, but it was much larger and more powerful. It had amazing eyesight and could vaguely spot Chen Yuan's figure from more than a hundred miles away and flew over.

Chen Yuan could only fly to a height of ten thousand feet. The Blue Eagle lost his trace and circled for a long time, but did not dare to enter the sky and endure the baptism of the strong wind. It could only leave in disappointment.

Chen Yuan was naturally not afraid of the seventh-level monster beast, but he encountered the Blue Eagle Land, near the cave of a transformed monster king, and there were several seventh-level monster beasts guarding it. He did not want to cause trouble.

After that, he simply flew hundreds of miles at an altitude before descending.

The strong winds from a height of thousands of feet are so fierce that their power is comparable to that of low-level magic weapons. Only Nascent Soul cultivators or transformed demon kings can travel through them, but it also consumes a lot of true energy.

Normally, no cultivator would fly at an altitude of thousands of feet. With Chen Yuan's physical body, it was quite difficult to resist the strong wind, but it was much easier than for an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.

Chen Yuan sneaked all the way, flew for four days and four nights, and finally arrived at the cave of the Cold Jade Lion.

This is a huge crack that stretches across the ice field and extends for more than ten miles. It is like a deep canyon, but the two sides are not covered with mountains, but thick ice.

Chen Yuan did not approach the glacier crack, but landed on a snowy mountain a hundred miles away, killed an ice bear and occupied its cave.

He spread out his spiritual sense, covering the glacier crack, but was unable to advance an inch.

Chen Yuan was not surprised by this. The transformed demon king could control magic weapons and naturally knew how to set up formations.

However, the protective formation set up around the glacier cracks is rather crude. In addition to blocking the prying eyes of spiritual consciousness, it can only resist the attacks of Jindan cultivators.

As long as a Nascent Soul cultivator takes action, it can be defeated in an instant.

The demon race is not proficient in the various arts of cultivation, and the magic weapons and formations they use are much simpler and cruder than those used by human cultivators.

Chen Yuan could forcefully probe into the spiritual consciousness, but it would definitely alarm the Ice Lion.

He did not force his consciousness in, but continued to cover the glacial cracks.

The Ice Lion is stronger than Xiong Lie, but Chen Yuan can kill Xiong Lie within a few rounds, so he is naturally not afraid of an Ice Lion.

But Elder Gu had deliberately made him come to Hanzhou to deal with the Ice Lion. He must have some ulterior motive.

Maybe he thought that Chen Yuan had just formed a fetus and was no match for the Ice Lion.

The most reasonable assumption is that Elder Gu does not know his true strength.

But maybe Elder Gu has other plans, but they are hidden so deeply that he hasn't figured them out yet.

In any case, Chen Yuan never thought of obeying Elder Gu's request from the beginning.

Elder Gu asked him to bring back the body of the Cold Jade Lion within three years, so he would definitely not do it within three years.

He didn't even tell Mr. Qingliu explicitly, he just said that he wanted to kill the Cold Jade Lion as soon as possible to make Elder Gu's plan fail.

But Chen Yuan knew very well that if Elder Gu had any plans, he would have made full preparations during the one year that he had to consolidate his realm.

Chen Yuan rushed to Hanzhou to inquire about the location of the Hanyu Lion's cave, not to attack the Hanyu Lion, but to monitor the Hanyu Lion's every move.

If Elder Gu has other plans, the Cold Jade Lion will definitely reveal its flaws over time.

If Elder Gu simply felt that he was no match for the Cold Jade Lion and had no other plans, he could simply wait a few more years and it would not be too late to kill the Cold Jade Lion later.

When Elder Gu launched the attack, Chen Yuan had already thought of a countermeasure.

He didn't want to offend the Haoran Sect, but he would never act rashly and fall into Elder Gu's schemes.

Time will make everything clear.

Chen Yuan sat cross-legged in the cave with his eyes slightly closed, like a stone statue.

He spread out his spiritual sense, covering the huge glacier crack, silently waiting for Elder Gu's plan to reveal a flaw, or for an opportunity to kill the Cold Jade Lion.

Outside the cave, on the ice field, the cold wind was howling and heavy snow was flying.
