Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

When Chu Guangkai mentioned Taoist Du Kun, everyone was silent when they thought of the power of the Nascent Soul cultivator, and the atmosphere became dull again.

At this time, Zhuge Qi, Qin Gang, and Duan Quan returned to the attic, and everyone stood up to greet them.

Chu Guangkai asked: "Brother Zhuge, what was the result?"

Zhuge Qi said: "Elder Wan of Mingyin Valley and I agreed to join forces to fight against Ziyang Sect."

"This time, there are four Jindan elders from Mingyin Valley participating in the alliance, two in the late Jindan stage and two in the middle Jindan stage. They are also doing their best and will never retreat easily."

Qin Gang bowed to several elders of Lingyun Sect: "The matter has been settled, Qin will take his leave first."

Everyone returned the greetings, and the three people from Tiangang Sword Sect left.

The people of Lingyun Sect were no longer interested in talking. Duan Quan called several foundation-building disciples to arrange caves for the five Jindan elders, and they stayed there without mentioning.

In the next few days, Duan Quan arranged for the foundation-building disciples to pay close attention to the residences of Ziyang Sect, Wanshou Mountain, and Guiyuan Sect, but there was no movement.

Until the day before the six-sect alliance, a purple light flashed across the sky, and a huge boat slowly flew from the east, with purple spiritual light shining brightly, dyeing all the clouds and mist purple, like a surging sea tide, very much like the purple air coming from the east, with great momentum.

A group of Jindan elders who were meditating in the cave felt a sense of induction, and spread their spiritual consciousness to see this magnificent scene.

This huge boat was very familiar. It was a long-standing mid-level giant boat of Ziyang Sect, which could carry thousands of cultivators.

In the past, when the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain was opened, Ziyang Sect's Qi-refining disciples all took this giant boat to go there, with great momentum.

This time, only Jindan cultivators participated in the six-sect alliance, and the number of people was very small. However, Ziyang Sect traveled on a giant boat, obviously wanting to give the three sects a head start.

As the giant boat approached the six sects' residence, Jindan cultivators from Ziyang Sect, Wanshou Mountain, and Guiyuan Sect immediately came to meet it. More than a dozen beams of light flew out and landed in the mountains. The giant boat slowly shrank and disappeared.

Zhuge Qi stood in the attic on the top of the mountain, looking at this scene from afar. Chu Guangkai stood beside him, stroking his beard lightly, with a solemn expression.

Chu Guangkai paused and said slowly: "The giant boat should be used as the vehicle of Taoist Du Kun. The three sects' cultivators came together. Ziyang Sect has made no secret of it. I'm afraid this alliance will be bad."

Zhuge Qi narrowed his eyes and said lightly: "The mine vein of Yuyang Mountain cannot be lost. Our sect has just moved back to Qi State. The elders in the sect need spirit stones to improve their cultivation. No matter how much it costs, we can't let Ziyang Sect take away the mine vein share."

Chu Guangkai sighed: "How can a Yuanying cultivator go against his will? Why not wait for Master to return and then make plans."

Zhuge Qi was silent for a while and said lightly: "What if Master can't come back?"

Chu Guangkai was shocked: "What do you mean by this, Junior Brother?"

Chu Guangkai looked at the horizon, his eyes revealing a trace of heaviness: "The Yuyang Mountain mine is regarded as the lifeline by all sects. The origin has just been restored, and Taoist Du Kun can't wait to change the share. It's extremely ugly."

"He is not a fool. After the leaders of various sects left the sect, they acted so recklessly. They must have something to rely on."

"That's six Yuanying cultivators, plus the other four countries, that's nearly 20 Yuanying cultivators, and five or six Yuanying mid-stage cultivators. How could something go wrong?" Chu Guangkai murmured.

Zhuge Qi retracted his gaze, turned and walked towards the stairs, and said lightly: "The four major Xuanzongs must know the truth, but our sect has no Yuanying cultivators, so we are destined to get no answer."

...

The highest peak in the Yuyang Mountains is called Yuwei Peak, which is about 600 feet high. It overlooks the other peaks and is also the station of Ziyang Sect.

The hall on the top of the mountain was brightly lit and filled with high-ranking cultivators. In addition to the cultivators of Ziyang Sect, there were also Jindan elders from Guiyuan Sect and Wanshou Mountain.

They did not even go to the residence of their own sects, but followed the cultivators of Ziyang Sect directly to Yuwei Peak.

The hall was quiet and silent, and everyone looked at the cultivator on the main seat with awe in their eyes.

This man had a pair of phoenix eyes, a long beard under his chin and chest, thick black eyebrows, a square face, and a Taoist robe, full of majesty.

He was the Grand Elder of Ziyang Sect, the only remaining Yuanying cultivator in Qi State, Taoist Du Kun.

He looked around and said, "Tomorrow is the day of the six sects' alliance. This time, I will personally go out and seize 30% of the mineral vein share. It should not be a problem, but how to distribute it is a problem. What do you think?"

The whole place was silent, and everyone looked at each other obscurely for a few times, and no one dared to answer.

In this six sects alliance, Ziyang Sect, in addition to Taoist Du Kun and Xie Chaohong, only two middle-stage Jindan elders accompanied them.

Wanshou Mountain and Guiyuan Sect each had three Jindan elders, one in the late Jindan stage and two in the early Jindan stage.

The two late Jindan cultivators looked at each other, clasped their fists and saluted, and said respectfully: "Guiyuan Sect is willing to follow Ziyang Sect."

"Wanshou Mountain will follow the arrangements of the seniors, no objection."

Both of them knew that this six sects alliance was just a formality.

With Taoist Du Kun's appearance, Ziyang Sect has already won.

They are not the main people in the sect, and there are only two early Jindan cultivators around them, just for show.

Taoist Du Kun nodded, looked at a middle-aged cultivator on the left, and said lightly: "Chaohong, what do you think?"

This man is about forty years old, with a refined appearance. He is Xie Chaohong, a late Jindan cultivator of Ziyang Sect.

He clasped his fists and bowed: "I think that our sect has contributed the most to this Six Sects Alliance, so we should get a 10% share."

"Wan Shou Mountain and Gui Yuan Sect will each get 10% of the share, but the top-grade spiritual stones produced from this 10% share will belong to our sect."

Taoist Du Kun looked at the two late Jindan elders again: "What do you think, fellow Taoists?"

The two shook their heads and agreed in unison.

This 10% share was obtained without any effort from them. Even if they had to give away all the top-grade spiritual stones, it would not be a loss, so naturally they had no objection.

Taoist Du Kun was very satisfied to see that the two were so tactful, and smiled slightly: "Since the two fellow Taoists have no objection, let's discuss how to force the three sects to give up their shares. What do you think?"

The late Jindan cultivators of the two sects looked at each other and looked at Xie Chaohong.

The elder of Wanshou Mountain said: "Fellow Daoist Xie has many clever ideas, and he must have a good plan."

The elder of Guiyuan Sect smiled and said: "I have always admired Fellow Daoist Xie very much, please show me."

Xie Chaohong smiled and said: "The mine of Yuyang Mountain is very important. Lingyun Sect, Tiangang Sword Sect, and Mingyin Valley will definitely not willingly give up their shares. Three sects against three sects, voting is useless, and we can only suppress them with force."

"With the Supreme Elder in charge, we are already invincible. There is no need to waste words, let alone make secret plans."

He paused and stood up Taoist Du Kun came up and bowed with a solemn expression: "Mingyin Valley has secretly colluded with the Demon Sect, Lingyun Sect and Tiangang Sword Sect have repeatedly offended our sect. Please ask the Supreme Elder to take action directly to suppress the three sects!"

Everyone understood what he said, and stood up one after another, followed by bowing with a fist: "Please ask the Supreme Elder (predecessors) to take action to suppress the three sects!"

The eleven Jindan elders stood up and bowed at the same time, their voices solemn, and the evil spirit dissipated, filling the hall, and the lights flickered, as if they would go out in the next moment.

Seeing this scene, Taoist Du Kun raised his hand and stroked his long beard lightly, with a smile on his face.

After he formed his infant, he traveled around, looking for opportunities to improve his cultivation.

But Taoist Du Qing is the Dinghai Shenzhen of Ziyang Sect. The thousand-year-old spiritual herbs are given priority to Taoist Du Qing for cultivation, and only the remaining few spiritual herbs can fall into his hands.

He had been in the Nascent Soul stage for more than 300 years, and now he was over 700 years old, but he still could not reach the middle stage of peace.

But Taoist Du Qing broke through the bottleneck of the middle stage 200 years ago, and even began to move towards the late stage of the Nascent Soul.

But he never complained about it. Taoist Du Qing and he were disciples of the same master, and he took good care of him.

Back then, he was able to form a Nascent Soul because Taoist Du Qing overcame all objections and paid the price of damaging the origin of the sect's spiritual veins for a hundred years.

He knew that Senior Brother Du Qing was devoted to the sect and wanted to become a great cultivator, lead the Zi Yang Sect to unify Qi, and use the large spiritual veins in the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain as the foundation to become the fifth largest Xuan Sect in Donghuazhou.

He had to support Taoist Du Qing, and he dared not not support Taoist Du Qing.

Taoist Du Qing had been in charge of the Zi Yang Sect for hundreds of years, and he was highly respected. The elders who had formed Dan in the sect had more or less been taken care of by him.

Although he was the Supreme Elder and had a respected status, in the eyes of the disciples in the sect, he was actually far inferior to Taoist Du Qing.

But who can form a Nascent Soul is not gifted, firm in the Dao, and ambitious?

He also wanted to improve his realm, and wanted to glimpse the realm of great cultivators, and even wanted to fight for the illusory realm of transformation.

But with Taoist Du Qing in front of him, he could only suppress all his thoughts, practice hard in seclusion, and be at ease as a supreme elder.

After the six sects were defeated and moved away from Qi, he had to run around for the inheritance of Ziyang Sect, which was very hard.

Until the six sects moved back to Qi and the leaders of each sect left, he became the only remaining Nascent Soul cultivator in Qi. He monopolized power in the sect and even suppressed the cultivation world of Qi. He finally tasted the taste of life and death of Nascent Soul cultivators, and was intoxicated by it and couldn't extricate himself.

All the thousand-year-old spiritual herbs in the sect were provided for him to practice, but he still felt it was not enough.

If he could obtain the top-quality spiritual stones in the Yuyang Mountain mine, he could improve his cultivation faster.

So when the mine was about to be opened, he sent people to persuade Guiyuan Sect and Wanshou Mountain to initiate a six-sect alliance to redistribute the share of Yuyang Mountain's mine.

The opportunity was rare, and the leaders of the various sects would not come back for the time being. He had to plunder all the cultivation resources, improve his cultivation, and strive to break through the bottleneck as soon as possible.

Thinking of the instructions given by Taoist Du Qing before he left, he couldn't help but feel depressed.

Only the spiritual herbs and elixirs accumulated in the mustard ring could calm him down a little.

When the six-sect alliance was over and the share of the mine was demarcated, he would practice in seclusion, not ask about external affairs, and improve his cultivation.

Taoist Du Kun was determined in his heart, his eyes swept over the eleven Jindan elders, and slowly said: "Since you all have this idea, then I am not afraid of the reputation of bullying the weak. At the alliance tomorrow, I will personally take action to suppress the three sects!" (End of this chapter)
