Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

Chen Yuan pondered for a moment and slowly said, "What you said is not without possibility. The Burning Demon Realm is full of dangers. Although Fellow Daoist Qin has fallen from the Refining Void Realm, his methods are still far superior to ours. However, after entering the Burning Demon Realm, he still encountered misfortune."

"Fellow Daoist Lu is a rogue cultivator, and his magical treasures and supernatural abilities are inferior to ours. Even if he were to encounter a demon general, he would probably be no match for him."

"Moreover, if he is safe and sound, he will surely capture the demon general and find out about the situation in the Burning Demon Realm, just like you, fellow Daoist."

"Once he learns of the opening of the Northern Underworld Cave, he should have thought of me and come looking for me, but there's still no word from him..."

Daoist Cangsong sighed softly, a hint of dejection on his face: "I only hope that Fellow Daoist Lu is safe and sound. The five of us left the human realm and went through life and death together. Before we even entered the spirit realm, only the two of us are left."

"Back in the human realm, I was a revered ancestor of the Nascent Soul stage, respected by thousands of people in my sect, and stood at the pinnacle of the realm."

"But once they arrived in the Demon Burning Realm, they could only hide like rats, not daring to reveal even the slightest trace of themselves."

"The path of cultivation is truly like walking on thin ice, filled with trepidation..."

Chen Yuan comforted him, saying, "Cultivating immortality is going against the heavens. Even if burning the demon realm is dangerous, it's still better than staying in the human realm and waiting to die."

"Now that I, Chen, and my fellow Daoist have joined forces again, we will surely find a way to enter the Spirit Realm and continue our Daoist path."

Daoist Cangsong's expression brightened: "What you say is absolutely right, fellow Daoist. In any case, it is far better than staying in the mortal realm and being able to watch your lifespan decrease day by day without being able to do anything about it."

"Fellow Daoist has now instigated a war between two great demon kings. What are your plans next?"

"If you need my help, please don't hesitate to ask. I will do my best to help you."

Chen Yuan pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "This battle has not yet begun, the time is not yet ripe, and there is no need for you to take action for the time being."

Daoist Cangsong frowned and said, "I just heard you say that the Demon King of Leishan wants to finish this quickly."

"Fellow Daoist, you went to great lengths to provoke this great war. If it is quickly quelled, how can you profit from it?"

Chen Yuan smiled slightly: "The idea of ​​the Thunder Mountain Demon King is good, but it is not easy to realize. I already have a plan, and I will need to rely on your help when the time comes."

"If my plan succeeds, I will be able to obtain a lot of demon cores. After refining them into pills, I will also share some with you, fellow Daoist."

A hint of joy flashed in the eyes of the Taoist Cangsong: "How could this humble Taoist not do his best?"

After the two talked for a while, Chen Yuan summoned Zhang Yanwei. He already knew that Chen Yuan and three other Nascent Soul cultivators had ascended to the Burning Demon Realm together, but he was still very surprised to see Cangsong Daoist.

When Daoist Cangsong learned that Zhang Yanwei was Chen Yuan's third disciple, he naturally praised him highly.

He immediately gathered the wood element spiritual energy in the world and drew a Azure Dragon Talisman, which could transform into a hundred-foot-long Azure Dragon with strength comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator and could be maintained for a quarter of an hour.

With the strength of the Cangsong Daoist, he could certainly unleash even stronger talismans.

However, Zhang Yanwei only had a mid-stage Core Formation cultivation level, and his true essence was limited, so he could only support the consumption of such talismans at most.

Zhang Yanwei was overjoyed to have another way to save his life and quickly thanked the Taoist Cangsong.

Chen Yuan then summoned Yun Jinyue and the other two, concealing Cangsong Daoist's true identity, and only saying that he, like himself, was a shadow spy cultivator from the Spirit Realm.

Liu Tianhan and Huan Yu were overjoyed. With another mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator on Beiming Island, their chances of survival would greatly increase, even if Chen Yuan were to encounter any mishap during the great battle.

Moreover, Chen Yuan is still in contact with other Shadow Spy cultivators and may know the method to return to the Spirit Realm. They have finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel to leave the Burning Demon Realm.

Only Yun Jinyue, after a brief moment of surprise, calmed down again. Although she was still very respectful to Daoist Cangsong, she was not as excited as Liu Tianhan and Huan Yu.

Chen Yuan saw this and his eyes flickered, but he didn't say anything.

He said to the four, "From now on, when I leave Beiming Island, all matters, large and small, in the manor will be handled by Fellow Daoist Cangsong..." Daoist Cangsong interrupted, "I am a guest, how can I usurp the host's place?"

"Although the four young friends have low cultivation levels, they are already familiar with the affairs of the manor. Junior Nephew Zhang is also very steady in his actions. It is best to let the four young friends handle this matter. This humble Taoist will not interfere."

Seeing this, Chen Yuan changed his tune: "It was my oversight. Fellow Daoist has no time to deal with these trivial matters, but if it involves the Demon Commander, I would like to ask Fellow Daoist to take charge of the overall situation."

The Taoist Cangsong laughed and said, "That's natural."

……

Only Chen Yuan and Zhang Yanwei knew of the arrival of Daoist Cangsong; the other human cultivators and demon generals were unaware that a Nascent Soul cultivator from the human race had appeared on the island.

The Taoist Cangsong spent all his time cultivating in his cave and never showed himself, so the demon generals had no time to spare.

The edict of the Thunder Mountain Demon King spread throughout the Northern Underworld Cave, and Chen Yuan then ordered the summoning of all his demon generals and demon beasts of level five and above.

Every few days, a demon general would lead dozens of demon beasts to the shore of the Nether Sea, where they would set up camp and wait for the great battle to begin.

The demon generals who were fighting each other were also forced to stop, and everything had to give way to this war between demon kings.

In just six months, more than ninety demon generals and nearly ten thousand demon beasts gathered around the Nether Sea. Although the number was small, their cultivation levels were all above level five, which was equivalent to a million-strong beast tide army.

With so many demon generals gathered in one place, many of whom harbored old grudges, even though they set up camp separately, numerous conflicts and disputes still arose.

Chen Yuan ignored them all and left them to Zhang Yanwei and the other three to handle, while he focused on refining pills and cultivating in his cave.

He refined the last demon core of a mid-level demon general into a pill, then went into seclusion to cultivate. After refining these five pills, his cultivation level improved slightly.

During this time, Iron Wing Demon General came to visit, wanting to ask Chen Yuan to join forces against the enemy in this great battle.

Chen Yuan naturally wouldn't refuse, and Iron Wing Demon General was overjoyed. No one knew Chen Yuan's strength better than him; even a high-level demon general probably wouldn't be a match for him.

With Chen Yuan's assistance, the risks of this battle will be greatly reduced, and he will have a chance to kill the Demon Commander and make a contribution.

However, when Ironwing Demon General learned that Chen Yuan would first break into the Corroded Wood Cave and leave for a period of time after the start of the war, he was somewhat disappointed, but he promised to take care of Chen Yuan's demon generals until he returned.

After Ironwing Demon General left, Sakiyan Demon General also came to visit.

He learned that the Thunder Mountain Demon King was going to war with the Wood Erosion Demon King and was worried that it would delay the exploration of that interface fragment.

Chen Yuan offered a few words of comfort, implying that the battle might not last too long. Only then did Qi Yan Demon General feel a little relieved and head to the Iron Wing Cave.

Chen Yuan had other plans for this battle, but he was quite interested in the death energy contained in the black crystal.

After returning from the Ironwing Cave, he had the Fiend-Slaying Blade devour all the black crystal death energy. As expected, the fiend energy increased, and subtle changes occurred. In addition to intimidating the soul, it also had a slight corrosive effect.

If it can absorb enough death energy, even if the Fiend-Slaying Blade cannot become a second-grade spiritual treasure due to the limitations of its material, its power will definitely increase significantly, making it one of the best third-grade spiritual treasures.

Chen Yuan dared not use the Cangming Halberd lightly, lest it attract the covetousness of the Demon King.

The Moon Bow has many limitations. It requires a specific type of arrow and must be bathed in moonlight to condense the moonlight arrow and unleash its full power.

The Demon-Slaying Blade became Chen Yuan's most frequently used spiritual treasure and divine weapon, so he naturally had to put more effort into it.

Not long after the departure of Demon General Qiyan, Chen Yuan's demon generals gathered on Beiming Island. The Demon King of Leishan also dispatched demon generals, ordering Chen Yuan to lead his army of demon beasts to the border of the two cave dwellings, awaiting the Demon King of Erosion's challenge.
