"Humph! How many years do you think I have left to wait?"

“If you can’t find these materials in the Tiannan Mountains, then you should go to the Dajin Dynasty.”

"As long as you have enough resources, any rare material can be found there."

"I'm telling you in advance that if you can't successfully refine that puppet in front of me."

"Then I would rather destroy the secret method of refining it with my own hands than leave it to you to inherit after my own spirit vanishes into thin air."

The tone of Dayan God became a little irritated, and he warned Chen Yun seriously.

"I will keep it in mind. Even if you didn't remind me, I would have already decided to go to Dajin to find out what happened."

"You once said that the evil spirit in my body was too strong. After using the Blood Demon Sword so frequently, the evil spirit has already penetrated deeply into my body."

"If it is not removed in time, it will not only gradually damage your health, but also make your steps difficult during your future cultivation in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul."

Chen Yun sighed helplessly and said with a frustrated tone.

"It's best if you can understand. I felt something magical the moment I first saw you."

"You have such a strong evil spirit at such a young age. I was no less evil than you are today."

"But my evil spirit back then was not even one tenth of what you have now."

"Haha, it's really amazing. How about considering practicing the evil technique?"

"This evil spirit will actually help you further improve your realm."

“Of course, when you finally reach the Spiritual Transformation Stage, you will no longer ascend to an ordinary spiritual world, but to the legendary ancient demon world.”

Lord Dayan's emotions seemed to be fluctuating, and his voice at this moment contained both sarcasm and ridicule, which made Chen Yun feel quite embarrassed.

"I have no interest in cultivating to the extreme and transforming into a strange beast like an ancient demon."

Chen Yun made a sound indifferently.

"Friend Chen, do you really think that all ancient demons are in the form of monsters?"

Lord Dayan was silent for a long time, his tone was slightly strange.

"I don't understand. After becoming an ancient demon, does it mean that you are a monster from another world? Can you still retain your human form?" Chen Yun asked with a puzzled look.

"I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding here. According to the ancient records I have seen, the appearance of the demon cultivators who ascended from the human world to the demon world did not change much, even if they had become members of the ancient demons."

"Of course, if you use magic to transform, that's another matter."

"In the ancient times, when the battle between monks and ancient demons reached its final stage, some monks were seduced by high-level ancient demons and adopted the technique of demonic energy infusion to directly become members of the ancient demons."

"It made the final battle even more brutal. It is said that after these people were transformed into demons, they still retained their human appearance and consciousness, but were willing to serve those high-level ancient demons."

"Whether there is some kind of mystery hidden in it, no one knows. Since then, there has been a legend that if human cultivators practice ancient magic skills to the peak, they will automatically ascend to the ancient demon world."

"As for those ancient demons with strange body shapes, they can be divided into two categories."

"One type is the original demons from the ancient demon world. They are the highest-level existences in the ancient demon world and are revered as Saint Ancestors. There are few of these demons, but each one is extremely terrifying."

"Today, many magic practitioners who practice ancient magic skills still need to constantly call the names of these ancient demons in order to use the magic energy to cast spells."

"The other type is some of the demons in our human world who practiced magic and ascended to the ancient demon world on their own. The demons themselves have different body shapes, so after they transform into ancient demons, they naturally have hideous faces."

"Demon race? How is this possible! How can they...

"How do they practice ancient magic skills, right? You don't need to ask me about this question, because I know nothing about it either."

"That ancient book didn't elaborate on this in detail, but only said that the history of the ancient demon race's contact with the ancient demons seemed to be far longer than that of us humans."

"As for other details, I can't answer them either. However, some high-level demons I have seen no longer practice magic skills, and there is no demonic energy on their bodies."

"Perhaps you will find the answer to the reason when you arrive in Dajin in the future. After all, the most ancient books of our human world are preserved there."

Lord Dayan replied lazily.

Chen Yun's face was gloomy and uncertain, and he recalled the Brahma sage tablet in his storage bag, which was said to be the treasure inherited by the demon race.

The three-headed, six-armed technique above was extremely similar to the two-headed, four-armed technique performed by the ancient demon that day.

Is there really an unknown connection between the two?
After thinking for a long time, Chen Yun suddenly burst into laughter.

Even if there are secrets between the demon clan and the ancient demon that are unknown to the world, what does it have to do with him?
He is not the kind of person who likes to meddle in other people's affairs and wants to find out the truth about everything. For some things, ambiguity is more appropriate.

Furthermore, the Brahma Saint Piece in his hand was only a fragment. Even if there really was a complete demon clan technique, he would never waste time practicing it.

It is still unknown when the Qing Yuan Sword Technique can be cultivated to its peak. Moreover, since this technique is inextricably linked to the ancient demons and monsters, it is probably not suitable for human practice.

Chen Yun shook his head and sighed, temporarily putting aside the matter about the demon race and the Brahma Saint film, and instead asked another more concerning question.

"Don't worry about the puppets. Whether I go to Dajin or not, I will do my best to help you collect the materials you need."

"However, you mentioned to me several years ago that you had done a lot of research on the method of refining the Seven Flame Fan. You should have made a breakthrough by now."

"If you have mastered the art of refining, you may as well hand it over to me first and let me refine it myself. Currently, two of my flying swords are damaged, and it is difficult to set up a sword formation. I am in a desperate situation and urgently need a treasure to save my life."

Chen Yun spoke bluntly, without beating around the bush.

After spending more than twenty years together, he and Dayan Shenjun have gotten to know each other well, and their relationship is much more harmonious than before, sometimes even more like that between teacher and student or friends.

"While I was researching the method of refining the Seven Flame Fan, I carefully adjusted the amounts of materials that are now difficult to obtain, and tried to use alternative materials."

"Finally, I have found a feasible solution for you. Although I cannot guarantee that this method will work, the magic weapon I have refined may need to be renamed the Three Flame Fan."

"The original Seven Flame Fan required eighty-one types of fire-attributed spiritual materials to be refined, but I have now reduced it to thirty-one. Although its power has been reduced accordingly, it is still not to be underestimated."

Dayan God told Chen Yun the truth honestly.

"It's okay. Even if the power is slightly reduced, it's nothing to worry about. After all, the Tongtian Lingbao is as powerful as the rumors say. Even if it's a replica of the Three Flame Fan, it's definitely not something that ordinary cultivators can resist."

Chen Yun responded without hesitation.

"I have recorded the refining method in a jade slip, you can check it yourself."

"However, even if it is a replica, some of the materials used are still quite scarce. It is estimated that it will still take some twists and turns to refine this fan."

Lord Dayan said calmly.

Then, the lid of the bamboo tube behind Chen Yun opened, and a dazzling white light rushed out.

Chen Yun reacted quickly, grabbed it with his backhand, and held it firmly. It was a white jade slip.

Chen Yun calmly probed his consciousness into the jade slip and glanced through it. He couldn't help but frown slightly. "The other items are easy to deal with. It only takes a little time to collect them all and then refine them into spiritual materials."

"However, the long feathers of the Haoyang Bird and the scales of the Red Fire Dragon are rare and hard to come by. Where can we find them?"

"At least, as far as I know, no traces of these two items have been found in the Tiannan area."

"These two materials are the most readily available alternatives I can think of. As for the rest, there is almost no hope."

"Among them, the Haoyang bird has long feathers. When I was traveling in Dajin, I saw a young female cultivator from Yueyang Palace raising this kind of spiritual bird."

"Now that time has passed, even if the original Haoyang bird has disappeared, perhaps there are still descendants left."

"You may as well go and give it a try. As for the Red Fire Dragon, it all depends on your luck. But if you go to Dajin, I believe the problem should be solved."

Lord Dayan said leisurely.

"Humph! After all this talk, you still want me to go to Dajin."

Chen Yun snorted lightly, revealing a bit of helplessness.

"Haha! I suggest you go to Dajin out of good intentions. Only by traveling to Dajin in person can you deeply understand what a holy place for cultivation is."

"The Great Jin Kingdom is undoubtedly the core area of ​​all known immortal cultivation worlds."

Lord Dayan spoke nonchalantly.

"Whether it's inevitable or not, I have come this far. However, before I leave Dongyu Country, there is still one matter to be resolved. I must first go to the outside of the Fallen Demon Valley to take a look."

Chen Yun respectfully put away the jade slip and said in a calm tone.

"Go to the Demon Valley? What do you mean, Junior Brother?" Upon hearing the news, Lord Dayan was shocked and asked in disbelief.

"Everyone, rest assured. I didn't intend to break into the ancient ruins. Do you remember me killing the demon corpse that day?"

"After the rift appeared, I immediately used mystical magic to sense that the corpse had not yet dissipated. Therefore, I must investigate whether it is still lingering in the Fallen Demon Valley and try to call it back."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yun said no more. His escape speed instantly increased to the extreme, turning into a green light that cut through the sky.

After setting foot in Changzhou, Chen Yun immediately returned to Wanling Mountain and returned to the entrance of the Demon Valley.

After guarding the valley entrance for two days, Chen Yun finally confirmed that the Tianjue Demon Corpse was indeed still alive.

However, this demon corpse seemed to be trapped somewhere, and no matter how Chen Yun used magic to urge it, he was unable to successfully call it out of the valley.

After some hesitation, Chen Yun finally had to leave with some regret.

It seems that the only way to rescue the corpse is to wait until the next time the Demon Valley opens, if the corpse has not yet died.

……

Two months later, Chen Yun finally appeared near Yunmeng Mountain.

When he approached the Luoyun Sect's mountain gate, he happened to meet several disciples of the sect who were on patrol. When these disciples saw Chen Yun, they cheered.

They happily bowed and greeted Chen Yun, and at the same time quickly activated the sound transmission note to inform the two elders in the sect of this important news.

All of a sudden, all the disciples of Luoyun Sect flew out from the sect to welcome the return of this famous ancestor.

The team leaders were the old man named Cheng and Lu Luo.

When they saw Chen Yun return safely, both of them showed expressions of great joy on their faces.

Afterwards, the two did not talk much, but eagerly invited Chen Yun to return to the sect, and ordered other disciples to retreat for the time being.

"Junior Brother Chen, I firmly believe that with your extraordinary magical powers, you will be able to turn danger into safety."

"But since you have returned safely, why do you have to stay in a foreign land for so long? It will hurt our fellow disciples' feelings!"

In the Luoyun Sect's main hall, Senior Brother Cheng and two other elders gathered together. They welcomed Chen Yun's return with joy, while complaining with concern.

"Yes, Junior Brother Chen, if he returns to the sect soon, we will be able to ease our worries."

Lu Luo also echoed with a smile on his face, looking sincere.

"The two brothers have misunderstood the key point. Chen was trapped in the turbulent space and could not escape. Fortunately, he was able to break free just now."

"As soon as I got out of trouble, I rushed back to the sect without stopping."

Chen Yun frowned slightly and could only explain helplessly.

"In any case, Junior Brother Chen is very lucky to have returned safely. To be honest, I have not yet expressed my gratitude to Junior Brother."

"If it weren't for my junior brother's help in the valley, I would have become a pile of dry bones."

Upon hearing this, the old man immediately stood up and bowed deeply to Chen Yun to express his gratitude.

"It's just a small matter, how can it be compared with the grace of saving my life. Junior Brother Chen must still be thinking about Fellow Daoist Nangong. Please rest assured, Sister Nangong is still safe and sound in the ice."

The old man obviously understood what Chen Yun was most concerned about and was the first to share the good news with him.

After Chen Yun learned about this, the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

At this moment, Lu Luo suddenly looked at Chen Yun carefully, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face.

"Junior brother, you have successfully advanced to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul!"

"When did this happen? It's really jaw-dropping! Could it be that Junior Brother actually got some kind of strange opportunity in the Fallen Demon Valley?"

Hearing Lu Luo's remarks, Cheng Luo, as his senior brother, was also very shocked. He quickly manipulated his spiritual sense to start investigating.

As a result, he found that the Qi in Chen Yun's body was restrained freely, and the firefly-like light was faintly visible. It was indeed a realm comparable to that of a middle-stage Nascent Soul.

Seeing all this, Cheng Luo was stunned.

"The two brothers' eyesight is indeed unique. They can tell at a glance that my junior brother's cultivation has improved."

"That's right. This time I got a rare opportunity in the Fallen Demon Valley. After a period of hard training, I was able to successfully advance."

"I didn't expect to reach the middle stage of the Nascent Soul so quickly. However, if I hadn't known that Wan'er had two brothers taking good care of her, I would have been very worried."

"After all, I have been trapped here for a long time and I am already extremely anxious. Thank you for your help, brothers. It allows me to practice with peace of mind."

Chen Yun was filled with emotion and bowed deeply to the two men to express his gratitude.

"Junior brother, why do you say that! Sister Nangong once recognized me as her master, isn't it my responsibility to protect her?" (End of this chapter)
