Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

Everyone looked at the slowly turning, deep and dark vortex, and an inexplicable sense of horror arose in their hearts.

The vortex was like an eye without pupils, looking down indifferently at the group of Nascent Soul cultivators below.

Everyone lowered their heads and looked away, looking at the seven great monks in front of them.

The low-level monsters around them had stopped harassing them at some point, and there was silence all around.

Chen Yuan slowly retreated into the crowd, raised his head slightly, and looked at the source of the evil energy in front of him with a serious look in his eyes.

Elder Zhou said, "Master, fellow Taoists, the source of the evil spirit is in this vortex. It has been sealed away by ancient cultivators for tens of thousands of years. Now that the seal has loosened, it has reappeared in the world and is wreaking havoc on the world."

"Only by erasing it, these pure demonic energies will become like trees without roots and water without sources, and will no longer be able to devour spiritual energy."

Daoxuan asked: "Junior Brother Zhou, how can we erase the source of this evil energy?"

The other six great monks also looked over with serious expressions.

Elder Zhou said without hesitation: "Demonic energy is a sinister thing, and the source of demonic energy is extremely sinister and extremely filthy."

“If you want to wipe it out, you must go deep into it, use the purest and most spiritual things, and set up a great formation.”

"This is also the method recorded in ancient books. Only this method can lead to success!"

Sect Master Wei's expression changed slightly: "We have to go inside? Can't we set up a formation outside?"

Elder Zhou nodded and said, "Yes, the pure and spiritual things that fellow Taoists from various sects gave me are not pure enough. Setting up the formation outside is just scratching the surface. We can only go deeper into it."

“If Fellow Daoist Wei can take out a bottle of Nine Heavens Pure Qi, let alone entering it, he wouldn’t even need to set up a formation. He only needs to throw in the source of demonic energy and it will be destroyed immediately.”

Sect Leader Wei sighed, "Nine Heavens Pure Qi is a legendary item. How can I get it? It seems that the only way is to enter the vortex and set up a formation."

"But the Nascent Soul monster has not yet appeared. It must be waiting for us at the source of demonic energy. We must be careful and vigilant."

Sect Master Hong said coldly, "Even low-level monsters have a sense of propriety. If you say there is no one behind the scenes controlling them, I don't believe it. I want to see who is plotting against the entire Donghua Continent. They really have a big appetite."

A Nascent Soul cultivator hesitated and said, "Could it be that the monster that was sealed by the ancient cultivators back then is still alive and wants to plot against us..."

Everyone looked awed when they heard this. How powerful could a monster that hasn't died for tens of thousands of years be?

Palace Master Long sneered, "How can there be a monster that can survive for tens of thousands of years? Even a Divine Transformation cultivator would have turned to ashes long ago!"

"Even if there really are monsters that have survived from the ancient times, shouldn't we just go in and wait for the demonic energy to break through the formation and turn the entire Donghua Continent into a wasteland?"

Everyone was silent. The Nascent Soul cultivators present were all experienced and shrewd people. They knew that these two trips to the Demon Realm were full of strange things.

However, the Demon Realm was eroding the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which was like a punch to the vital points of all the factions in Donghuazhou. If we wait any longer, the situation will be difficult to reverse. Even if we know it is a trap, we can only jump into it.
Daoxuan stared at the vortex and said slowly: "The old man and Palace Master Long will lead the way. All fellow Taoists must be careful and alert."

After saying that, he flashed and flew forward. Long Pokong laughed and followed closely behind him.

Everyone felt a little more at ease and followed closely. Chen Yuan slowed down his speed without leaving a trace and came into the crowd. He was neither too close to the front nor too far behind. He was surrounded by cultivators to protect him.

The closer they were to the vortex, the more serious the erosion of the demonic energy became. Everyone mobilized their true energy, and the spiritual light flowing on their bodies became more and more dazzling.

Chen Yuan's body was strong and he was not afraid of the evil spirit's erosion. However, in order not to attract attention, he activated his Void Escape Robe, which glowed with silver-white light, and he looked no different from everyone else.

Xiao Mingyuan's body was covered with a layer of red spiritual fire, but Mo Daoyu did not take any protection at all and actively absorbed the evil energy.

Even a demon cultivator would not dare to casually absorb these ownerless pure demonic energies, but he relied on the fact that he was a physical cultivator, his special skills, and his strong physique, so he absorbed the demonic energy without any scruples, attracting everyone's attention.

Chen Yuan secretly shook his head in his heart and moved away from this person.

When he entered the vortex of demonic energy, he felt as if he was passing through a thick veil, and there was a sense of stagnation.

The dark demonic energy swept past everyone and poured into the vortex behind them, forming a whirlwind.

Being surrounded by the evil energy, the consumption of true energy suddenly increased, and everyone fled forward, and the scene before their eyes changed.

The sky was filled with flying black cyclones, formed entirely from pure demonic energy. Below them was a rough sandy and gravelly wasteland, covered with white bones piled up like mountains.

In the distance, there was a huge black pillar that reached from the sky to the earth, and pierced through the sky. All the evil energy flew out from it.

Chen Yuan spread out his spiritual sense, and found no trace of monsters except bones scattered all over the ground. It was terribly quiet, as if time had stopped here.

These skeletons have different shapes and sizes. Some are hundreds of feet tall, some have six arms, and some look like ordinary people, but are covered with scars.

Although there was no flesh and blood left, it was clear that they must have experienced a very tragic fight before they died. Among the bones, there were many fragments of magic weapons, broken mustard rings, and broken storage bags, all of which were like iron tools that had been stored for a long time in the mortal world, rusted and turned into scrap metal.

Yan Zhang suddenly descended with a flash of light, raised his hand, and took a broken sword into his hand. He stroked the dull green sword blade and murmured, "This is a flying sword made of lapis lazuli. What kind of power can make it break apart and lose all its spiritual energy, almost like scrap metal..."

Chu Xiao took a broken bronze mirror in her hand and looked at it carefully, with a look of regret: "I have been looking for the Shape-shifting Crystal, but I couldn't find it. I didn't expect to see a magic weapon made of the Shape-shifting Crystal in the depths of this demonic realm. It's a pity that it has been abandoned..."

Everyone also picked up the fragments of magic weapons on the ground and found many extremely precious spiritual materials, but unfortunately they had all been discarded.

Chen Yuan also found a broken boat made of Kongyu Crystal, which is a top-grade spiritual material. The spatial force contained in it is much richer than that of Cangming Stone.

Qin Lian once told Chen Yuan that there were three kinds of top-grade spiritual materials to choose from to upgrade the Void Escape Robe to a top-level magical weapon, and the Sky Crystal was the most suitable and precious one.

The more they watched, the more frightened they became. How brutal must the war have been to turn so many immortal magic weapons that had existed for thousands of years into scrap metal.

Xuan Yuanzi looked at a huge skeleton that was about 70 to 80 feet long and roared towards the sky, and whispered: "I once killed an eighth-level Rift Tiger King. This skeleton is almost identical to the tiger king's body, but it is twice as big. Only a tenth-level Rift Tiger King would be this size..."

Young Master Tang Jiu looked at a huge skeleton that was hundreds of feet in size and as big as a mountain: "I wonder what kind of powerful monster this skeleton was when it was alive..."

Sect Leader Shen said coldly: “Whether it is a Level 10 Demon King or a Level 10 Demon King, they have been dead for tens of thousands of years. What does it have to do with us?”

He said this in a loud voice, causing many Nascent Soul cultivators to nod in agreement.

Yan Zhang threw the broken sword back into the pile of bones and smiled: "Fellow Daoist Shen is right. No matter how fierce the war was, it has long passed. The Demon Realm has also been successfully sealed by the ancient cultivators."

"What we need to do now is to destroy the source of the evil spirit and prevent the efforts of our ancient ancestors from going to waste."

Everyone's expressions calmed down and they threw away the scrap copper and iron in their hands, but some people were reluctant to part with these rare spiritual materials and still collected them even though they were already discarded and useless.

From beginning to end, Elder Zhou did not look at the remains of the bones and treasures on the ground. He kept staring at the dark pillar of light: "That is the source of the evil energy. As long as this pillar is destroyed, the mission will be accomplished!"

Daoxuan came back to his senses, looked around, clasped his fists and bowed, saying solemnly: "My fellow Taoists, we have built a mountain nine feet high, and there is only one step left. I hope you will not slack off, and follow me to destroy the giant pillar of evil energy!"

Everyone quickly clasped their fists in return and responded with many words.

Daoxuan turned around and flew towards the giant pillar, and everyone followed immediately.

Perhaps it was because the demonic energy was extremely pure and condensed, the flying speed inside this vortex was actually faster than outside. However, his spiritual sense was almost useless. Chen Yuan spread out his spiritual sense, which only covered an area of ​​fifty feet around him.

However, as far as the eye can see, it can see several miles away. Although the spiritual awareness is restricted, it is not a big problem.

As they got closer to the giant pillar of demonic energy, everyone became more and more frightened.

I was too far away to see clearly just now, but now I realize that on both sides of the giant pillar of demonic energy, hundreds of ferocious monsters are lying on the pile of bones with their eyes closed, as if they have fallen into a deep sleep.

Everyone slowed down their escape speed at the same time. At this moment, these monsters suddenly opened their eyes, and their red pupils stared at the Nascent Soul cultivators. A fierce aura slowly emanated from them, as if they were awakened by the arrival of everyone. They roared and flew into the sky, heading straight for the Nascent Soul cultivators!

Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

We didn't see these Nascent Soul monsters along the way, which made people feel surprised and confused.

Now all we have to do is fight, which makes us feel more at ease.

Everyone took out their magic weapons and rushed forward. The seven great monks no longer held back and went after those level ten monsters.

Chen Yuan did not use any magic weapon, nor did he activate his true spirit blood. He just relied on his strong body to fight against a level eight monster.

This is a three-meter-long demon leopard with three eyes on its head. The third eye can emit a demon light with great power, but it cannot break the defense of the Void Escape Robe.

Chen Yuan could have killed it easily, but he didn't want to attract too much attention, so he just dealt with the demon leopard and kept an eye on other battle groups.

He soon discovered that the strength of these Nascent Soul monsters was weaker than that of Nascent Soul cultivators of the same level. They had no intelligence and only knew a few innate magical powers, so they were not difficult to deal with.

Soon, more than a dozen monsters were killed. The other monsters instinctively felt frightened and retreated in panic.

It was not until this time that Chen Yuan exerted his strength suddenly, killed the demon leopard, and took out the magic core from its body.

As the monster fled from here, the crowd did not feel any joy. They looked at each other in surprise and doubt.

These Nascent Soul monsters were too easy to deal with. There was no trace of the ancient monsters or the masterminds they had expected.

Daoxuan pondered for a moment, then looked at Elder Zhou, Mu Zhaoming and the others: "Please ask Junior Brother Zhou and a few fellow Taoists to quickly set up the formation and destroy the giant pillar of demonic energy!" (End of this chapter)
