Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a dead silence on top of Yuyang Mountain.

Qin Gang slowly raised his head, stared at Taoist Du Kun, and said word by word: "Senior, are you trying to use your power to overwhelm others?"

Zhuge Qi also frowned: "Senior is a Nascent Soul cultivator, why do you have to embarrass us juniors?"

Taoist Du Kun said calmly: "In fact, I didn't want to take action, but you youngsters were stubborn and rejected the proposals of our sect, Guiyuan Sect, and Wanshou Mountain."

"This is about the share of the Yuyang Mountain mineral vein. As the Grand Elder of the Ziyang Sect, how can I sit idly by? This is also in line with the agreement among the six sects."

Qin Gang's eyes were wide open and his teeth were clenched tightly, but he didn't dare to speak any more.

Taoist Du Kun has made it clear that he just wants to suppress others by force, without any consideration of reason.

But in the world of cultivating immortals, strength is the most important principle.

Taoist Du Kun is the only Nascent Soul cultivator in Qi State, and is also the supreme elder of Zi Yang Sect, the largest sect in Qi State.

When he wanted to bully the weak, no one could stop him unless the leaders of various factions suddenly returned to Qi.

The Jindan cultivators from Lingyun Sect, Tiangang Sword Sect, and Mingyin Valley stared at Taoist Du Kun, not daring to say a word in rebuttal, but their hearts were filled with anger.

Normally, they didn't dare to show any anger in front of Taoist Du Kun.

However, the spiritual stones produced by the Yuyang Mountain mine are related to their cultivation. Even if there is a Nascent Soul cultivator in front of them, they cannot surrender.

Taoist Du Kun also knew what everyone was thinking and deliberately ignored their slightly offensive looks.

He can use his power to bully the weak, and this does not deviate from the framework of the Six Sects Covenant.

But if you kill the Jindan elders of the three sects just because of a glance, you will create a mortal enemy.

Even if he was not worried about the return of the three sect leaders, these Jindan elders alone would be enough to cause heavy losses to the Ziyang Sect.

After all, he is only an early Nascent Soul cultivator. He can intimidate the State of Qi, but it is still difficult for him to destroy an entire sect by himself.

Taoist Du Kun glanced at Zhuge Qi, Qin Gang, and Wan Shihun, and said calmly: "I will fight alone, the three of you can come together, don't worry, I won't kill you youngsters."

"Of course, if you change your mind now and agree to my proposal and give up your share of the mineral vein, you can avoid this battle. If you still insist on your own opinion, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful pressure emanated from Taoist Du Kun. Everyone's faces turned pale and they involuntarily took a step back.

Zhuge Qi, Qin Gang and Wan Shihun looked at each other and saw reluctance and humiliation in each other's eyes.

In the past few days, they had met more than once to discuss how Zi Yang Sect would launch an attack, and they guessed that Zi Yang Sect would take advantage of its power to bully others.

But they never thought that Taoist Du Kun would actually come down and fight with them, the youngsters.

This is a complete disregard for one's reputation, and if it gets out, it will definitely cause ridicule.

But before Taoist Du Kun was ridiculed, they had to lose their share of the Yuyang Mountain mine, which would be a painful loss.

The three of them exchanged glances. Zhuge Qi shook his head slightly. Qin Gang and Wan Shihun were both very unwilling, but they also shook their heads in the end.

They were very unwilling in their hearts, but they did not dare to fight with Taoist Du Kun.

The gap between Jindan cultivators and Yuanying cultivators is like an insurmountable chasm. Not to mention three late Jindan cultivators, even if there were twice as many of them, they would not have any chance of winning.

Although Taoist Du Kun said that he would not kill anyone, he did not say that he would not use severe force.

They are the backbone of their respective sects, and they support the entire sect after the leader leaves.

If they were seriously injured by Taoist Du Kun, Zi Yang Sect would become even more aggressive and the situation of the three sects would become even more difficult.

Qin Gang was the most angry, but he also dared not act rashly.

Previously, another late Jindan cultivator from the Tiangang Sword Sect was severely injured by Taoist Du Kun and has not recovered to this day.

That battle was inevitable. The Tiangang Sword Sect only accepted sword cultivators, and its disciples were already scarce. Two foundation-building disciples were openly killed by the Ziyang Sect, which shocked the sect and aroused public outrage.

In order to calm the anger of the disciples, the Jindan elder must step forward.

At the cost of seriously injuring a late Jindan cultivator, the sect's dignity was maintained and the sect's disciples understood that Taoist Du Kun was invincible.

This time, Taoist Du Kun disregarded his reputation and went down to the battlefield himself. The defeat was already decided, and it would be unwise to fight him again.

Qin Gang gritted his teeth and said, "Senior, you are so powerful. I am willing to admit defeat. Tiangang Sword Sect is willing to give up this 10% share."

Wan Shihun's expression changed constantly. After a long while, he finally said, "Mingyin Valley... is also willing to give up 10% of its share of the mineral veins."

Taoist Du Kun looked at Zhuge Qi and said, "My dear Zhuge, what do you think?"

Zhuge Qi sighed softly, clasped his fists and bowed: "Lingyun Sect is also willing to give up 10% of its share."

Taoist Du Kun smiled slightly: "Very good, since the three friends are willing to give up their share of the mineral vein..."

"Wait a minute!"

Before Taoist Du Kun could finish his words, a clear voice came from afar and interrupted him.

Everyone was shocked and looked up.

Taoist Du Kun frowned, slowly raised his head and looked into the distance.

A beam of light flew from the horizon at an extremely fast speed. It took only a dozen breaths of time to cross more than ten miles and arrive above Yuyang Peak.

The escaping light stopped and a young monk appeared.

He was dressed in a white shirt, with a tall and slender figure, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and a free and easy temperament. Facing the gazes of everyone, he slowly descended from the air.

Taoist Du Kun was interrupted by this person and was very angry. But he was a Yuanying cultivator after all, and had been walking in the world of immortal cultivation for hundreds of years, so he was cautious.

Before getting angry, he subconsciously spread out his spiritual sense and scanned the young monk, but found nothing.

Taoist Du Kun was startled and looked the young monk up and down: "Who are you?"

His spiritual sense could not be said to be very strong, but it was not weaker than that of a Nascent Soul cultivator of the same level. However, he was unable to see the young cultivator's cultivation level.

This person was definitely not an ordinary Jindan cultivator. He forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart and spoke tentatively.

But in the face of Taoist Du Kun's question, the young cultivator ignored it and walked towards the six elders of Lingyun Sect.

A group of Jindan cultivators were also using their spiritual sense to investigate the young cultivator, but they couldn't even find Taoist Du Kun, so they returned empty-handed.

Seeing that this person even ignored Taoist Du Kun, he was even more surprised.

When the elders of Lingyun Sect saw him coming, they all took a step back involuntarily.

Even Zhuge Qi frowned and stepped aside.

Only Jin Luoheng stood there, staring at the young monk with a smile on his face.

Chen Yuan walked up to Jin Luoheng, bowed deeply, and said in a deep voice: "Disciple Chen Yuan, hello to the master!"

Chen Yuan...

When the other elders of Lingyun Sect heard this name, they were stunned.

They had just mentioned this name a few days ago.

Ji Bin looked at Chen Yuan, and the image of the foundation-building cultivator who argued with the Jindan cultivators from various sects emerged in his mind. He murmured, "It's really Chen Yuan..."

Zhuge Qi recalled the late Foundation Establishment disciple whom Qi Yuanshan had suddenly attacked during the decisive battle with the demon cultivator.

He also questioned Leng Hui, the then head of Zi Yang Sect, about this matter.

Ren You and Taoist Ying Ting also recognized Chen Yuan. Ren You asked in surprise, "Chen...Fellow Daoist Chen?"

On the other side, when Xie Chaohong heard Chen Yuan introduce himself, he also remembered the events of the Dongxu Mountain Secret Realm and the Demon-Dangling Desert, and looked at Chen Yuan in surprise and doubt.

Taoist Du Kun noticed the change in his expression and asked in a voice transmission: "Chao Hong, do you know this person?"

Xie Chaohong took a deep breath and replied in voice transmission: "Grand Elder, this person's name is Chen Yuan, and he is a disciple of Lingyun Sect..."

He told Chen Yuan everything he knew, but he didn't notice that Dai Qing beside him was staring at Chen Yuan with surprise on his face.

Jin Luoheng smiled slightly: "No need to be polite, let's deal with the matter at hand first."

"Disciple understands." Chen Yuan nodded and stood up.

He bowed to Zhuge Qi and others, and they hesitated for a moment before raising their hands to return the greeting.

Chen Yuan bowed to Ren You again and said, "Fellow Daoist Ren, it's been a long time since we last met. I hope we can catch up later."

Ren You clasped his fists in return, still looking a little dazed: "No problem."

Chen Yuan looked at the Taoist Master Ying Ting again and bowed, "Thank you very much for the sword light you gave me back then."

The handsome Taoist smiled and returned the greeting, "It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning."

Chen Yuan's gaze fell on Xie Chaohong again, and his eyes narrowed: "Senior Xie, it's been a long time since we last met."

Taoist Du Kun frowned. Chen Yuan's calmness had already angered him.

He raised his hand, snapped his fingers, and a ball of purple spiritual fire the size of a walnut flew towards Chen Yuan.

"How dare you, a young man, be so presumptuous in front of this old man!"

Just as Chen Yuan was greeting everyone, Xie Chaohong had already told him everything he knew about Chen Yuan.

Taoist Du Kun also remembered that Qi Yuanshan had attacked Chen Yuan during the decisive battle with the Demon Sect.

At that time, the Nascent Soul cultivators from both the righteous and evil sides were watching the battle from thousands of feet in the sky and noticed this incident. He even had a few verbal exchanges with Xuan Yuanzi because of this.

More than one hundred and thirty years ago, Chen Yuan was just a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building, and Taoist Du Kun had no fear at all.

Although it is still impossible to tell the true strength of Chen Yuan, but after just over a hundred years, can he still form a baby?
The purple spiritual fire contained a terrifying high temperature and flew in front of Chen Yuan in an instant.

Under the solemn gaze of the crowd, Chen Yuan did not dodge. He raised his right hand, grabbed the purple spiritual fire, crushed it, and purple flames splashed.

Chen Yuan slowly loosened his hand, his palm intact, and said calmly: "How the shares of the Yuyang Mountain mineral vein are distributed is not up to you, Daoist friend!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful pressure that was no less than that of Taoist Du Kun burst out from him!

The two forces of pressure collided, invisible and intangible, but they stirred up the sky, dark clouds gathered, and the sky dimmed.

Everyone's faces changed and they all took several steps back. Taoist Du Kun was about to say something but he swallowed it back.

He stared at Chen Yuan, his face full of disbelief: "You...you are a Nascent Soul cultivator?"

Others were also extremely shocked, especially the monks from Lingyun School, Tiangang Sword Sect and Xie Chaohong.

The cultivators from Mingyin Valley, Wanshou Mountain, and Guiyuan Sect only thought that a Nascent Soul cultivator suddenly appeared in Lingyun Sect.

But they knew that when fighting against the Demon Sect, Chen Yuan was just a foundation-building cultivator. After just over a hundred years, he had actually formed a Nascent Soul!

Chen Yuan did not answer Taoist Du Kun's words, but turned to look at Zhuge Qi and asked, "Elder Zhuge, I have been away from the sect for a hundred years. Today I am returning to the sect. I wonder if you will accept me?" (End of this chapter)
