Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

The jade slip in Chen Yuan's hand was the mysterious art of transformation that he had copied from Tianjizi.

After the demise of the Golden-Winged Eagle clan, in addition to the three jade slips in the Golden Beacon Mustard Seed Ring, their Sutra Library, which was modeled after the human clan, also contained numerous immortal cultivation techniques, magical skills, and ancient books, which could be copied by anyone at will.

However, the Nascent Soul cultivators on Jinling Island, except Yuan Xiang, Zhuge Qi, and Jin Luoheng, did not have much interest in this. They just roughly selected a few jade slips and copied them.

The elders of Tianji Sect, Zhenren Ningbing, and Xiao Chengmo all have the support of large sects. Mr. Qingliu, Mr. Xinzhai, and Mr. Chengli are even elders of Haoran Sect. Their sect has its own profound inheritance and they are dismissive of this.

The secret techniques and skills collected by the Golden-winged Eagle clan were all obtained from the cultivators they had killed in the past.

Apart from independent cultivators, few cultivators would carry important inheritance with them.

Even with tens of thousands of years of accumulation, it is still not as good as the large sects of the human race, let alone the ten major sects with profound heritage.

Among them, only some ancient books, or lost secret techniques, and skills that are useful to everyone will be picked up.

However, the Lingyun Sect and the Yuan Family had shallow foundations. Yuan Xiang, Zhuge Qi and Jin Luoheng accepted all the secret treasures of the Golden-Feathered Eagle Clan and copied them all to enrich the foundation of the sect and family.

Chen Yuan also selected several jade slips that recorded the experiences and insights of great alchemy masters, as well as a dozen Nascent Soul stage elixir recipes that he had never seen before, and copied them.

The most precious of them is the recipe for a elixir for the Spirit Transformation Stage, which needs to be refined from five three thousand year old spiritual medicines. All of them are rare treasures, which really opened Chen Yuan's eyes.

The elixir of the late Nascent Soul stage requires three thousand year old spiritual medicine as the main ingredient to be refined, and is ten times more precious than the elixir of the middle Nascent Soul stage.

The elixir for the Spirit Transformation Stage is a legendary treasure. Only a supreme grandmaster who has practiced alchemy to the extreme has the opportunity to successfully refine it, and no one has ever seen it with their own eyes.

Apart from this, Chen Yuan gained nothing else.

He did not find any physical cultivation techniques or secret techniques in the secret collections of the three royal families.

The demon race places the most importance on bloodline. As long as the bloodline is strong enough, they can practice step by step, absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and temper their bodies.

They also have innate magical powers inherited from their blood, and there is no need for them to imitate the monsters like humans and create their own magical powers, which would only yield half the result with twice the effort.

When refining elixirs on Tianji Island, Chen Yuan completely absorbed the experience and insights of the great alchemy masters. The improvement of his alchemy skills was also closely related to this.

While not refining the elixir and drawing starlight into his body, Chen Yuan would take out the jade slip that recorded the secret art of transformation and study it carefully.

After he refined the Kuiniu's true blood, he completed the third turn of "Nine Turns of the True Spirit" and finally became qualified to impact the Divine Transformation Realm.

But the higher the level of cultivation, the more difficult it is to break through.

Refining the third kind of true spirit blood only removed the obstacles in Chen Yuan's practice, but he still needed to find a way to break through the bottleneck on his own.

Just as he had to go through tribulations before he could form a baby after refining Kunpeng's true blood.

Back then, he survived the Yin Fire Tribulation and the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, but almost fell into the Heart Demon Tribulation.

Fortunately, with the protection of Yu Jue's soul, he woke up in time and was not deceived by his inner demons. Otherwise, even if he had refined the second kind of true blood, he would have ended up dead.

The path to becoming an immortal is always against the will of heaven. Even if Chen Yuan practiced the "Nine Transformations of the True Spirit", a technique that directly leads to the supreme path, it was not a smooth road.

……

This jade slip records four secret techniques for impacting the divine transformation. In addition to the two five elements secret techniques of "Five Elements Spirit Body" and "Golden Sword Breaking the Sky", there are also two magic secret techniques of "Li Dai Tao Jiang" and "Cold Flame Body Tempering".

"Golden Sword Breaking the Sky" is to condense the essence of Gengjin from the best spiritual materials of the gold element, and temper it into an invisible golden sword with unmatched sharpness, which can forcibly break through the bottleneck of the spirit transformation.

However, this technique is only applicable to the Gold Element Monks, and it is extremely risky, almost a life-or-death situation. If it fails, one will die.

"Cold Flame Body Tempering" is to use secret techniques to forcibly incorporate the five rare and extremely cold flames in the world into one's body, and use the power of the cold flames to break through the bottleneck.

Like the "Golden Sword Breaking the Sky" technique, this technique is also unconventional, but the risk is smaller and requires a lot more control.

"Li Dai Tao Jiang" means taking the corpse of a spiritual cultivator, adding top-grade spiritual materials, thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, and tenth-level demon pills, and using secret techniques to refine it into a corpse puppet.

Then, using a method similar to possession of another's body, he abandoned his original physical body and transplanted his Nascent Soul into this corpse puppet. With the help of the incarnation power contained in the corpse puppet, he broke through the bottleneck and became a incarnation cultivator.

This technique is extremely evil and cruel, and is an absolute secret technique of the devil.

Those who achieve the God Transformation through this technique have taken a shortcut, and can only remain in the early stages of the God Transformation thereafter, with no progress in their cultivation, and their lifespan is only two-thirds of that of cultivators of the same level.

Moreover, the body of the Divine Transformation cultivator that is refined into a corpse puppet must have died within a hundred years, otherwise it will lack vitality and will no longer be able to perform secret techniques even if it is refined into a corpse puppet.

The cost of the "Li Dai Tao Jiang" technique is extremely high, similar to the Thunder Pill, and only those who have no hope in the path of Taoism will use it.

However, obtaining the body of a Divine Transformation cultivator who died within a hundred years is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Moreover, the risk of performing this technique is even greater than that of "Golden Sword Breaking the Sky". It is truly a matter of defying fate and changing one's destiny. Naturally, Chen Yuan would not consider it.

The two secret techniques, "Golden Sword Breaking the Sky" and "Cold Flame Forging the Body", are not suitable for Chen Yuan either.

He was not a gold-type cultivator, and among the three types of true spirit blood he refined, there was no gold-type true spirit.

Even if one gathers six top-grade spiritual materials and condenses enough Gengjin essence, one still cannot break through the bottleneck.

However, Chen Yuan has a strong body, so even if his secret technique fails and he suffers backlash, he should be able to save his life.

The technique of "Cold Flame Body Tempering" requires the gathering of five extremely rare cold flames, which is even more unlikely than the technique of "Golden Sword Breaking the Sky".

In the world of immortal cultivation, spiritual flames are already extremely rare. If the Zi Yang Sect's Zi Yang True Fire is cultivated to the extreme, it can barely be considered a low-level spiritual flame, which is enough to compete with a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

A truly powerful spiritual flame, when fully activated, can even rival a great cultivator.

The cold flame contains the power of extreme cold and is more precious than the spiritual flame. It is also extremely rare in the Nine Immortal Continent.

After Chen Yuan returned to Yuqing Sea, he sought advice from True Man Ningbing. The Bingling Sect was proficient in ice-attributed magical powers, but had only mastered one type of cold flame.

Trying to gather all five kinds of cold flames and perform the secret technique is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Moreover, the technique of "Cold Flame Body Tempering" is to use the power of cold flame to stimulate the body when one's cultivation has reached its limit, thus finding another way to forcibly break through. For a physical cultivator like Chen Yuan, the effect would be greatly weakened.

His body was already extremely strong, and even with the stimulation of the cold flame power, it could not be improved much. It was hard to say how much help it could be in breaking through the realm.

However, although cold flames are rare, their power cannot be considered top-notch among spiritual flames. It is just that it is extremely difficult to cultivate and therefore difficult to search for.

But if you really take the trouble to look for it and travel all over Jiuxianzhou, you may have a chance to find it.

After seeing these four secret techniques, Tianjizi was quite out of control. He must be planning to use the "Cold Flame Body Tempering" technique to break through to the God Transformation stage.

However, the state of transformation into a god is originally illusory. Throughout the history of Yuqing Sea, only the seven generations of masters of Zhenhai Sect have achieved the state of transformation into a god.

In addition, in the Sea of ​​Ten Thousand Demons, only the dragon clan has produced a demon cultivator who has reached the level of a god in tens of thousands of years.

These two Divine Transformation cultivators have been dead for thousands of years, but the Zhenhai Sect and the Jiaolong Clan are still enjoying the legacy they left behind. Even if Tianjizi gathers all five kinds of cold flames, he can only have a few chances of impacting the Divine Transformation at most.

But for many great monks who have been trying to master the mystical art but have failed, this is a dream opportunity.

……

The most difficult and impractical of the four secret techniques is the "Five Elements Spirit Body" technique.

Just as Tianjizi and Qingliu Jushi said, this technique requires the collection of a large amount of the five elements' essence. Even in the ancient heyday of immortal cultivation, the amount was enormous.

Now, after the great changes in heaven and earth, it is enough to exhaust nearly half of the ten major sects and severely damage the vitality of the entire Jiuxian Continent.

And the most important thing is that in order to use the "Five Elements Spirit Body" technique, one must possess the five elements spiritual roots.

As long as one lacks one spiritual root, there is no way one can absorb all of the five elements' essence into the body, condense the five elements' spiritual body, realize the great Dao, and break through the bottleneck of spiritual transformation.

Even in the ancient times when spiritual energy was abundant, those who possessed the five elements of spiritual roots could only cultivate to the stage of foundation building and elixir formation, and only a few could form Nascent Soul, let alone the stage of spiritual transformation.

The spiritual energy is thin now. Cultivators who can form Nascent Soul must be extremely talented. At least they need to have earth spiritual roots. Those with heavenly spiritual roots can be found everywhere, and those with three spiritual roots are extremely rare.

To form a baby with false spiritual roots requires a huge opportunity, which is one in a million.

It is extremely difficult to even establish the foundation of the Five Elements spiritual roots, let alone form a Nascent Soul or even impact the Divine Transformation.

Based on this point alone, it is impossible for the great cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation to break through the bottleneck of the transformation to the spirit realm by relying on the "Five Elements Spirit Body" technique.

But Chen Yuan possessed the precious jade jade, which could fill his body with starlight and increase his spiritual consciousness, making him an extremely skilled alchemy expert.

By chance, he obtained the map of the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain. He used his Qi training to refine foundation-building pills, and took seventeen foundation-building pills in succession, forcibly building his foundation and changing his destiny.

Later, he practiced "Nine Transformations of True Spirit" and became a physical cultivator. He found three kinds of true spirit blood one after another. With the qualifications of the five elements of spiritual roots, he practiced step by step to where he is today. He is only a few steps away from the late Nascent Soul stage.

Without any one of the links, he would not be able to cultivate to the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

The secret technique of "Five Elements Spirit Body" seemed to be tailor-made for him, and only he could use this technique to achieve the state of spiritual enlightenment.

Moreover, the secret technique of "Five Elements Spirit Body" has very little risk. It only requires hard work to gradually absorb the essence of the five elements into the body.

Then, using the five elements spiritual roots as a foundation and temporarily condensing the five elements spiritual body, one can get close to the Tao, comprehend the heaven and earth, and increase one's grasp of spiritual transformation by at least 30%.

Even if the breakthrough fails, one only needs to recuperate for a period of time and there is no danger to one's life.

After Chen Yuan saw this technique on Jinling Island, he was overjoyed, but he was so cunning that he suppressed it and did not show any sign of it.

But the joy that surged from the bottom of his heart only lasted for a moment. After seeing the conditions required for the "Five Elements Spirit Body" secret technique, Chen Yuan calmed down.

Even if he broke through the bottleneck of the late stage and relied on the power of three kinds of true spirits to become invincible at the same level, it would be impossible for him to gather so much five elements essence, let alone snatch it from the ten major sects.

Not to mention that the ten major sects have profound heritage and are likely to be protected by precious treasures.

The demon cultivator who had reached the state of divine transformation in Nanzhou was extremely famous, and his Nascent Soul cultivation was known to almost everyone, but he could only practice in seclusion in Nanzhou. It was definitely not because he was merciful and could not bear to kill.

The ten major sects have stood in Jiuxianzhou for tens of thousands of years. If someone said that there were no divine cultivators left in the world, Chen Yuan would be the first one to not believe it.

But the secret technique to break through to the God Transformation was right in front of him, and he was still unwilling to give up. After leaving the Sea of ​​Ten Thousand Monsters, he kept pondering, hoping to find an alternative method.

To this day, he has studied this secret technique countless times, but still has not gained any results. He finally has the idea of ​​giving up.

In addition to the four secret techniques, this jade slip also contains the insights and speculations of successive Golden Feathered Eagle clan leaders, including Jin Feng, in their research on the secret techniques.

Ninety percent of them are concentrated after the secret art of "Golden Sword Breaking the Sky", and the two secret arts of "Cold Flame Body Tempering" and "Li Dai Tao Jiang" are also involved.

There was only the secret technique of "Five Elements Spirit Body", but not a single word was left behind.

The Golden-Winged Eagle clan can only inherit the gold bloodline, so this technique is absolutely impossible for them, so they naturally won't waste their time.

Chen Yuan could only figure it out on his own, but these few thousand words of secret technique were so profound and mysterious that with his understanding of the great principles of heaven and earth, he could not change even a single word.

Suddenly, Chen Yuan laughed at himself and put the jade slip back into his body.

The most urgent task is to continue searching for the ninth-level demon pill and break through the bottleneck in the late stage.

The realm of Divine Transformation is illusory, and even if one breaks through to the Divine Transformation realm, the green-robed formation spirit said that the ascension passage has been completely destroyed by the demon army, and the way forward is cut off, making ascension hopeless.

If one wants to go to the spiritual world, one can only find the space passage connecting this world with the spiritual world and sneak over there. This is a hundred times more difficult than achieving a deity transformation.

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan's joy at the great improvement in his cultivation level was inevitably diluted a lot.

After refining the true blood of Kuiniu, he finally saw the hope of becoming a god.

But compared to the darkness that shrouds the path of cultivation, this is just an insignificant ray of light.

The road ahead is long and difficult.

Chen Yuan has practiced hard for more than three hundred years and, having gone through many hardships and obstacles, has now stood at the top of this world, enough to look down upon all the cultivators in the world.

But it is lonely at the top. He saw more secrets of the world of immortal cultivation and felt even more cautious than when his cultivation was at a low level.

The only worry for low-level cultivators is how to improve their cultivation. As long as there are enough resources for cultivation, the road to cultivation will be bright.

High-level monks need to open up a path in the darkness before they can continue moving forward.

Chen Yuan's expression changed continuously. Suddenly, he took out the jade pendant, looked down at it, and gently stroked it.

Feeling the warm and delicate touch of the jade pendant, Chen Yuan's eyes gradually became firm.

With the talent of the five elements' pseudo spiritual roots, he has come all the way to where he is today. He is actually going against the will of heaven and making the impossible possible.

With a treasure like the jade jade, he has the confidence to go on no matter how difficult the road ahead is.

Chen Yuan suddenly stood up, put away the jade pendant, and walked out of the cave.

He came to the edge of the cliff and stood still, looking up at the river of stars that stretched across the sky, he smiled slightly, and all his dejection and frustration disappeared.

He spread out his spiritual sense and probed into Li Qingshan's cave abode dozens of miles away.

In the practice room, Li Qingshan was sitting cross-legged in meditation.

Chen Yuan smiled and whispered, "Come to my cave as soon as possible." (End of this chapter)
