Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

The cold monk also recognized the person in front of him at this time, and his eyes showed surprise: "Fellow Daoist Chen? You have also come to this ancient secret realm?"

The cultivator on the stone platform turned around and saw Chen Yuan, who had just stepped into the teleportation array and left the "trial ground".

As early as when he fought with the six-legged fire lizard, the golden mask on his face was destroyed by the spiritual fire, revealing his true appearance.

Chen Yuan was slightly startled when he saw the two cultivators in the sky, as if he couldn't believe it: "Brother Zhang? Fellow Daoist Ye? Why are you here?"

The middle-aged Confucian scholar was Zhang Wushan, who had been missing for decades according to Qingliu Jushi.

The stern monk was Ye Wendi, a true disciple of the Cangjian Palace who had fought with him in the Qingkang Mountains.

Chen Yuan had never expected to meet these two people here. He was very surprised, but then he became alert.

The secret realm of the Yuling Sect has not been opened for tens of thousands of years. He should be the first person to enter the secret realm. How did they enter the secret realm?

No one knew what tricks the Yuling Sect had left behind, but the white light took him into a strange place. These two people might have been created by an illusion.

Chen Yuan will never forget that when he was forming his infant, he almost fell into the illusion of his inner demons and became possessed.

From then on, he became extremely wary of illusions. As soon as he stepped into the teleportation array, he met Zhang Wushan and Ye Wendi, and he couldn't help but become alert.

At that moment, Chen Yuan's figure flashed, flew into the sky, and looked up and down at the two of them.

He quietly spread out his spiritual sense, swept it over the two people, and checked the surrounding situation. The true energy in his body surged, and if he found something wrong, he would take action immediately.

At the same time, he separated a trace of his spiritual consciousness and kept an eye on the golden jade disk in his spiritual space.

But he didn't notice anything unusual, and the two of them didn't reveal any flaws.

There was no change in the jade disc, and Chen Yuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Even the inner demon calamity cannot be hidden from this jade disk. If he is trapped in the illusion at this moment, the jade disk will definitely not remain indifferent.

However, Zhang Wushan's cultivation level in the early Nascent Soul stage surprised Chen Yuan.

When Zhang Wushan saw Chen Yuan's reaction, he immediately stepped forward, widened his eyes, and looked at him carefully: "Brother Chen, it really is you!"

Chen Yuan put down his guard, clasped his fists, bowed, and said with a smile: "It's been many years since we last met. Congratulations to Brother Zhang for forming the Nascent Soul. Your cultivation has greatly improved. May you live a thousand years and live a carefree and eternal life."

Zhang Wushan paused and gave a bitter smile: "I am trapped here for real, how can I be free?"

"Brother Chen, how did you get here? I wonder if my master is safe now?"

Chen Yuan was moved when he heard this, and replied, "Daoyou Qingliu broke through the bottleneck of the middle stage more than 10 or 20 years ago, and his cultivation has reached a higher level."

"However, after Brother Zhang entered Nanzhou, there has been no news at all, and his life essence lamp has also become as dim as a bean."

"Fellow Daoist Qingliu was worried and went to Nanzhou several times to look for Brother Zhang, but found nothing and had to return to Renzhou."

"If he knew that Brother Zhang's life was safe and that he had successfully conceived a baby, he would definitely be very pleased."

Zhang Wushan showed a look of delight, no longer showing any calmness, and laughed loudly, "Master has broken through the bottleneck? Good! Good! Good! Unfortunately, I don't have any wine, so today I will reveal everything!"

Seeing that he was in an unstable state of mind, Chen Yuan swallowed the few words that were about to come out of his mouth, and turned to bow to Ye Wendi: "It has been more than eighty years since we last met in the Qingkang Mountains. Congratulations to Brother Ye Dao for successfully forming an infant and achieving success in the way of the sword."

Ye Wendi returned the greeting and said seriously, "I am only just beginning to learn the ways of the sword. Fellow Daoist Zhang once told me about you. As soon as you formed your infant, you traveled to Hanzhou and killed two eighth-level demon kings in a row. You are so talented. I am far inferior to you." Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Ye, you are too kind. I was forced to do so in order to protect myself. Otherwise, I would not have gone to trouble the transformed demon king."

"Not long ago, I asked my disciple to go to Ningzhou with a letter, asking you to teach me the way of the sword. But I met you again in Nanzhou, thousands of miles away. It's really a deep fate."

Ye Wendi was quite surprised: "Fellow Daoist Chen accepted a sword-cultivating disciple?"

"This is a bit unfortunate. Fifty-seven years ago, Ye left the sect and sneaked into Nanzhou to find the demon king to test his sword. He mistakenly entered this place and has been here ever since."

"I'm afraid I can only teach you the way of the sword after we leave this place."

Chen Yuan's eyes flashed: "May I ask how Fellow Daoist Ye entered this ancient secret realm?"

Ye Wendi shook his head: "I don't know either. I was just chasing an eighth-level demon king and entered a deep valley. Suddenly, I was caught in a space turbulence and passed out. After I woke up, I came to the secret realm."

"Space turbulence?" Chen Yuan's eyes were filled with surprise. He turned to look at Zhang Wushan, "Brother Zhang, how did you get in here? Could it be that you were also caught in the space turbulence?"

Zhang Wushan put away his smile, and a bit of fear appeared on his face. He said with lingering fear: "After I left Renzhou, I came to the border of Lizhou and Nanzhou. I inquired from many sources and finally got the news of Ganoderma lucidum from a market. Then I sneaked into Nanzhou to search for the spiritual medicine."

"But not long after I left Lizhou, when I reached a mountain range, space turbulence suddenly broke out."

“At that time, I had not yet formed an infant, and my cultivation was low. I was unable to escape and was dragged into it. I thought I was doomed, but I never thought that there would be a day when I would open my eyes again and enter this secret realm filled with ferocious beasts.”

“Fortunately, not long after, I met Fellow Daoist Ye who had already formed a fetus. With his help, I was able to form a fetus successfully, and thus avoided becoming blood food for the ferocious beast.”

Chen Yuan was even more surprised: "So, Brother Zhang and Fellow Daoist Ye both experienced spatial turbulence, but survived?"

Zhang Wushan nodded and said, "Yes, I have discussed this matter with Fellow Daoist Ye. The spatial turbulence we encountered was not as dangerous as recorded in the classics. Otherwise, with our cultivation level, we would never have been able to survive."

"Brother Chen just said that this is the 'Ancient Secret Realm'. You should know a lot about this place, but did you get in by other means?"

Chen Yuan frowned slightly, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

He had personally experienced the power of space turbulence in the abyss of the sea, and even great monks were unable to resist it.

If it weren't for the refining of Kunpeng's true blood, and the help of the Void-Escape Robe and the skin of the Divine Kun Fish, he would have been swallowed up by the space turbulence and the subsequent space storm.

Zhang Wushan and Ye Wendi's control over the power of space was far inferior to his, so it was really unexpected that they could survive the turbulence of space.

Moreover, the guarding formation of the Yuling Sect's secret realm is extremely tight. The Jiuli Sect has spent thousands of years trying to break it without success. Why is there a turbulent flow of space into the secret realm?

Chen Yuan's mind turned, but he could not come up with an answer. He could only suppress his doubts and said, "Brother Zhang, you don't know that this place is a secret space left behind by a sect called Yuling Sect in ancient times..."

He introduced the origin of the Yuling Sect's secret realm and briefly recounted his experience of entering the secret realm, but he hid how he obtained the Yuling Sect's token, the origin of the Yuling Sect, and his fight with the demon cultivator who had reached the state of incarnation.

Zhang Wushan was surprised and said, "The Yuling Sect was able to leave behind such a huge secret realm. It must have been extraordinary and powerful in ancient times."

"Why have I never seen any records about the Yuling Sect? Brother Chen, do you know the origin of this Yuling Sect?"

Chen Yuan's eyes flickered, and he said, "To be honest, I also learned about the secret realm from a Yuanying elder of the Jiuli Sect. I don't know much about the Yuling Sect. I only know that it is a large sect that is good at taming beasts."

He turned to look at Ye Wendi: "Fellow Daoist Ye, have you ever heard of the name of the Yuling Sect?" (End of this chapter)
