"Boom!"

As soon as he stepped into the cave, Chen Yun heard a deafening roar suddenly coming.

A thick gray fog, as if emerging from nothingness, appeared silently in the sky.

"This is the transformation thunder tribulation!"

Chen Yun looked up at the thick fog that appeared inexplicably, his brows slightly furrowed, and a look of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

"I think it should be the golden-backed mantis that has successfully broken through the realm."

Chen Yun stroked his chin and murmured softly.

Among the many monsters he has subdued, the golden-backed mantis is undoubtedly the one with the most powerful strength and the deepest accumulation.

At this moment, a golden-backed mantis rushed out from the depths of the valley like an arrow.

It flapped its wings gently, and suddenly a violent storm was brought up. Following that, a surging golden light covered its entire body.

Facing the blazing thunder in the sky, the golden-backed mantis showed no fear. Instead, it faced the thunder without hesitation and rushed straight towards it.

"Boom!"

The thunder was as dense as rain, continuously pouring down towards the golden-backed mantis.

The golden-backed mantis brandished a golden sword energy, which collided with the thunder.

The surging thunder was shattered, and golden lightning scattered from the air and landed on the body of the golden-backed mantis.

When the thunder and lightning struck, the body of the golden-backed mantis burst into dazzling golden light, like a piece of exquisite porcelain.

As the thunder continued to surge, the shape of the golden-backed mantis was constantly changing, and its originally huge body gradually became slender.

In a flash, it became the size of a human.

At this moment, its golden body turned into flawless white skin, and its mantis-like face turned into a delicate and charming appearance.

In the blink of an eye, the once terrifying golden-backed mantis disappeared without a trace, leaving only a beautiful woman standing beside Chen Yun.

In the early stage of transformation, all parts of the golden-backed mantis have changed into human form, but only its hands still retain the shape of a sickle.

The wings behind it are still there, but they have not disappeared.

Looking at the naked golden-backed mantis, Chen Yun smiled: "Since you have successfully transformed, I will call you Jin Ling'er from now on."

Hearing Chen Yun's words, a gleam of light flashed in Jin Ling'er's insect eyes, and she hurriedly bowed respectfully: "Thank you, Master, for giving me a name."

Since Jin Ling'er was not wearing any clothes at the moment, her snow-white body was completely exposed to everyone with just a slight movement.

Chen Feng touched his nose and coughed lightly: "Everyone, I wonder if anyone can provide a set of clothes suitable for Jin Ling'er?"

Seeing this, Mei Ning quickly walked forward, took out a green dress, and carefully put it on Jin Ling'er.

Considering that Jin Ling'er had a pair of light golden wings behind her, Mei Ning specially cut her dress open to allow the wings to stretch freely.

【Golden-backed Mantis】

[Realm: Level 8]

[Innate magical powers: Alchemy demon body, Golden Spirit Sky Blade]

[Spells: Golden Scythe Spirit Blade, Golden Light Escape, Rage, Golden Blade]

Looking at the properties of the golden-backed mantis, Chen Yun nodded with satisfaction. It must be said that the sudden transformation of the golden-backed mantis in its early stages was really unexpected.

After all, this is a threshold. Ordinary monsters have no hope of entering this realm without hundreds of years of accumulation.

……

Outside the stone mountain, the original practitioners and the participants who arrived later had gathered into more than a thousand people.

They circled the mountain, controlling their magic weapons and floating in the air, whispering constantly.

With their profound knowledge and rich experience, they naturally could not understand the meaning of the astronomical phenomenon just now.

Therefore, they can only make various guesses based on their own speculations.

However, even so, everything that had just happened had filled their hearts with irrepressible excitement.

Mu Peiling mingled in the crowd and quickly arrived at the scene.

She witnessed everything that happened around her with her own eyes, and deep shock was revealed in her eyes.

At this moment, several colorful lights came rushing over. After the lights faded away, the figures of five or six Jindan stage monks with stern expressions appeared.

The leader was the old man surnamed Feng who was in the late Jindan stage. His face was as gloomy as a dark cloud. Beside him were the old man in a red robe and several other unfamiliar faces.

As for Song Yu, he is currently in seclusion practicing.

Because she had taken a large amount of pills and was at the critical moment of breakthrough, she had no idea what was happening in the outside world.

"Please note, disciples. From now on, the area within a ten-mile radius of this mountain will be designated as a restricted area. Anyone who stays in this area will be considered to have violated the sect's rules and will be severely punished."

When the old man surnamed Hu saw so many low-level disciples gathered here, he couldn't help but frown and announced in a cold tone.

When these low-level Luoyun Sect disciples heard that their master had actually issued such an order, although they were filled with confusion, they still had to obey the order and drove their magic weapons away.

Thus, the place became empty in an instant.

"Master Mu, please stay for a while."

A Jindan stage cultivator with ordinary appearance suddenly moved his lips slightly, conveyed a few words of information to the old man surnamed Hu, and then pointed to the valley below.

After hearing this, the old man's expression changed slightly, and he stopped Mu Peiling who was about to leave.

"Disciple greets several uncles!"

Mu Peiling was stunned for a moment, then turned around and flew in front of several Jindan stage cultivators with a look of respect on his face.

"Junior Brother Mu, you have a close relationship with Junior Sister Song. Do you know which senior's cave this place belongs to?" The old man surnamed Feng relaxed his expression a little and asked Mu Peiling.

"Yes, this cave is the residence of Uncle Song's disciple Chen Yun."

The beautiful woman answered honestly, "He once participated in the sword-testing competition with us."

"Chen Yun? Could he be the foreign affairs disciple who made it into the top ten at the sword-testing competition more than 20 years ago?"

The old man in red shirt's expression changed, and he asked in surprise.

"Uncle Duan is absolutely right. This is exactly the disciple."

Mu Peiling knew very well that the other party had led a team to participate in a sword-testing competition, so she was not surprised by this.

"Could it be that the heavenly calamity and omen just now were really caused by this person?" The old man surnamed Feng looked at the stone mountain and muttered to himself with a complicated expression. The group of Jindan stage cultivators around him also had serious expressions.

Others might be able to accept it, but when Mu Peiling heard this, she couldn't believe her ears, and her face was full of shock and astonishment.

"Brother Feng, judging from the vision just now, it should be a transformation calamity. Could it be that there is a demon beast in the early stage of transformation hiding inside the cave?"

The red-shirted old man asked slowly.

"In any case, this is beyond our ability to handle. It is expected that the two uncles will come in person to deal with this matter soon. What we need to do now is to try not to anger the other party. Oops! The two uncles are already here."

The old man surnamed Feng pondered for a moment and just made a decision, but suddenly his expression relaxed and he called out softly.

When everyone heard this, they immediately calmed down and looked up at the sky.

I saw a flash of light in the sky, and two long rainbows suddenly appeared before my eyes, one white and one yellow.

When the old man surnamed Feng and others saw this scene, they immediately stood on both sides with expressions of awe on their faces.

"Let the two of us handle the affairs here. You can each go and do your own things. There is no need to stay here for long."

As soon as the silver-haired old man and the Nascent Soul cultivator named Lu appeared in front of these Jindan stage cultivators, they spoke calmly.

The old man surnamed Feng and others said yes and left the vicinity of the stone mountain.

Mu Peiling naturally didn't dare to stay here, and after paying a deep respect to the two masters, she hurriedly flew away. But before leaving, she couldn't help but look back in the direction of the medicine garden.

……

Inside the cave, Chen Yun was looking at the golden-backed mantis when suddenly a long, old voice came from outside.

"I am Cheng Tiankun from Luoyun Sect. I wonder if my junior brother and I can come into the mansion to have a chat."

When Chen Yun heard this voice transmission, he raised his eyebrows slightly, then a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he turned his head to look at the women present and said softly:
"Ladies, please leave first."

All the women immediately understood and nodded, then walked into the mysterious cave.

Chen Yun turned around, looked at Yin Yue, and said in a calm tone: "You can activate the ban now."

"Yes, master." Yin Yue answered respectfully, then walked out with light steps.

Not long after, the two elders of Luoyun Sect who were waiting outside the stone mountain suddenly discovered that the scenery of the stone mountain below had changed.

The seemingly ordinary rock wall suddenly became covered with a large area of ​​green mist, enveloping the entire hill.

And in these mists, there was a strong evil spirit and runes floating, which obviously meant that an extremely powerful restriction had been set up.

The silver-haired old man and the monk named Lu looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The other party actually opened up a cave inside the Luoyun Sect and set up such a powerful formation. It is really shameful that the master of this place is completely unaware of this.

If this matter were to be spread out, it would probably become a laughing stock for everyone. At the very least, it would be inevitable for a few close friends to tease him.

At this moment, Chen Yun's calm voice came from the fog.

"This time, Chen borrowed your sect's spiritual land for cultivation without informing you in advance. This is really a bit abrupt. I hope you two don't feel unhappy about it. Now, I will lift the ban and invite you two Taoist friends to come in and talk."

Chen Yun's words were extremely humble and polite.

"Haha! You are too polite! It is an honor for our Luoyun Sect to receive your favor. How could we be dissatisfied?"

The silver-haired old man laughed loudly, seemingly not caring about the matter at all.

The green light fog churned violently, and a passage about two or three feet wide automatically formed in front of the two people.

Seeing this situation, the two silver-haired old men flew into the passage without hesitation, and in the blink of an eye they arrived in front of a bluestone gate.

The stone gate opened wide, and a young man in a green robe stood in front of them. He was about twenty years old, with an ordinary appearance and a smile on his face. It was Chen Yun who came out personally to greet them.

Next to him, there was an early stage golden-backed mantis that had transformed into a human form.

The eyes of the two men shrank slightly, especially when they were looking at the golden-backed mantis, the expressions on their faces were even more shocked.

Compared to Chen Yun's cultivation level, which had already reached the Nascent Soul stage, the eighth-level strength of the golden-backed mantis brought them a stronger shock.

"My two Taoist friends, please come in!"

Looking at the two people who were still standing there in a daze, Chen Yun smiled slightly and invited them into the cave.

"We're interrupting."

The two silver-haired old men did not exchange too many pleasantries. After a simple bow, they followed Chen Yun into the stone gate.

Immediately afterwards, the green light fog outside began to surge again, the passage disappeared without a trace, and the restriction was restored to its original state.

Even though the two silver-haired elders had noticed all of this, they were not too worried because this place was the territory of Luoyun Sect.

After they followed Chen Yun through a narrow passage, they came to a hall which was not too large.

"You two fellow Taoists may wish to taste the spiritual tea that I personally brewed."

After Chen Yun waited for the two to sit down, his spiritual sense moved and Mei Ning walked in slowly holding a tea tray.

"Good tea."

The two of them took a sip of tea and couldn't help but praise it: "May I ask your name, fellow Daoist? Why did you hide your identity and come to our Luoyun Sect?"

From their point of view, with Chen Yun's strength, there is no need for him to act so low-key.

"I originally thought that you were from the Kingdom of Yue. This fact is quite surprising to me. Seeing that your face is still so young, may I ask how long you have been practicing, Fellow Daoist Chen? Could it be that the technique you practice has the magical effect of keeping your youth?"

After the monk surnamed Lu and the elder looked at each other, they finally couldn't hold back their inner confusion and asked a question.

From the very beginning, he felt that Chen Yun looked too young. However, a person who could cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage would need at least three or four hundred years.

For example, the cultivator named Lu entered the Nascent Soul stage when he was nearly 400 years old.

"The skills I practiced did not have the effect of preserving my youth. However, in my early years, I had the opportunity to take a pill to preserve my youth. Since then, my appearance has remained the same as when I took the pill, without any changes."

"According to my estimation, more than two hundred years have passed."

"What, only two hundred years old?"

When the monk surnamed Lu first heard the name of Dingyan Dan, he thought to himself, "As expected." However, after Chen Yun revealed his age, his face changed drastically and he was shocked.

"You have really only practiced for two hundred years." The silver-haired old man was also overwhelmed with emotion when he heard Chen Yun's words, and he slowly asked.

As far as he knew, cultivators who could condense their Nascent Soul in just two hundred years had appeared in Tiannan's history, but there were only a few dozen of them.

These people are all gifted, and most of them have made extraordinary achievements. There are even mysterious legends about them suddenly disappearing after breaking through the late Nascent Soul realm and ascending to another world.

The young cultivator in front of him also claimed that he had only practiced for two hundred years. Doesn't this mean that this person is also very likely to break through the initial stage of the Nascent Soul and become an important existence? (End of this chapter)
