The dazzling white metal essence, azure wood essence,

blue water essence, red fire essence, and brown earth essence.

The Five Elements essences continuously gathered and underwent Fusion within Sun Xuan's body.

Then, under the modification and strengthening of the Giant Spirit Dharma Body Cultivation Technique, the Aura and pressure on Sun Xuan's body became increasingly unfathomable.

The dazzling white luster on Sun Xuan's body gradually faded away.

Then, a mysterious black chaotic spiritual light flickered slightly from Sun Xuan's body.

Under the smelting of countless spiritual materials, Sun Xuan had already refined his body into a precious physical body even sturdier than a Soul Transformation Magic Treasure.

The endless power contained within it could almost sever rivers.

Slowly, the spiritual light of the Five Elements essences converging toward Sun Xuan's body from all around grew increasingly faint.

Until it completely disappeared in the end.

And the Five Elements spiritual materials that had originally flickered with various colored spiritual lights had now become completely dim and devoid of light.

After the spiritual light essences were completely absorbed by Sun Xuan, they had turned into five piles of useless waste materials.

With a slight sweep of Sun Xuan's sleeve, they completely turned into dust and were swept into the corner of the secret chamber.

After practicing the Giant Spirit Dharma Body for a while, Sun Xuan took out the Spirit Pill obtained from Lin Yi that could increase Soul Transformation Stage cultivation.

And began to continue meditating and cultivating.

As time slowly passed, the news that the Shimo Sect had been forcefully occupied by an unfamiliar Soul Transformation Cultivator gradually spread throughout the inner sea of the Xiumo Sea.

Upon hearing this news, the various factions in the inner sea reacted differently.

There were those who remained indifferent, and there were also those who harbored worries in their hearts.

Duanmu Ji, the City Lord of Seven Plums City, was currently sitting cross-legged in a plum blossom forest.

Sipping tea while pondering with an uncertain expression.

"The unfamiliar Soul Transformation Cultivator, who on earth could it be?"

"According to the information gathered by my subordinates,"

"it seems to be that Cultivator who left the State of Zhao, though I do not know if the information is true or false."

"As for that matter, should I invite him to go along together or not?"

"However, among everyone going to that secret place, only I am at the Early Stage of Soul Transformation."

"All the rest are at the Middle Stage of Soul Transformation."

"If one more person is added, perhaps the waters can be stirred even more turbidly."

"And my chances of obtaining benefits will also become greater."

"Moreover, that unfamiliar Soul Transformation's cultivation is merely at the Early Stage."

"Relatively speaking, the threat will also be somewhat smaller…"

Muttering to himself, the uncertain expression on his face gradually turned firm.

Outside the closed-door cultivation chamber of Sun Xuan in the Shimo Sect, Ning Moyuan knelt at the doorway with a respectful expression, cupping his hands and waiting for Sun Xuan's summons.

Sensing Ning Moyuan kneeling at the doorway, Sun Xuan raised the outer corners of his eyes slightly.

He thought to himself, could there be news about Wang Lin?

Thinking of this, Sun Xuan waved his hand, and the door of the closed-door cultivation chamber instantly opened.

A voice devoid of discernible joy or anger immediately came from inside the chamber:

"Moyuan, if you have something to report, come in and speak!"

Hearing this, Ning Moyuan bowed toward the location of the secret chamber.

Then he stood up, bent his waist, and walked into Sun Xuan's closed-door cultivation chamber.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, the Soul Transformation mighty figure and City Lord of Seven Plums City, Demonic Lord Baji, has submitted a visiting card to the Sect."

"Saying that he has important matters and wishes to invite the Sect Master to discuss them."

Hearing Ning Moyuan's reply, Sun Xuan's heart stirred slightly.

With a slight shift of his thoughts, he knew exactly what Duanmu Ji wanted to talk about.

"In that case, Moyuan, make a personal trip and invite Demonic Lord Baji to the Sect."

Sun Xuan said to Ning Moyuan with an expressionless face.

Hearing this, Ning Moyuan acknowledged it verbally, then bowed to Sun Xuan with a bent waist.

After withdrawing from the closed-door cultivation chamber, he turned around and hurried toward Seven Plums City.

Inside the grand hall of the Shimo Sect, a figure floated over gracefully.

Seeing this, Sun Xuan's heart stirred slightly. A smile immediately appeared on his face as he welcomed him and spoke:

"Fellow Daoist Baji, this impoverished Daoist is Tongxuanzi. I have long admired your great name."

"Meeting you today, you truly have the demeanor of an immortal and an extraordinary Aura!"

Hearing this, Duanmu Ji's eyes flashed with an inexplicable glint, and he immediately smiled and said:

"Fellow Daoist Tongxuan jests. What great name could this old Daoist have?"

"I only heard that a few days ago, in the State of Zhao, a Rank 3 Cultivation Country some distance away from the Xiumo Sea,"

"an unrivaled fiend appeared."

"With a Nascent Soul cultivation, he not only slaughtered the eight Schools in the State of Zhao that possessed Nascent Soul Cultivators,"

"livingly beating it down from a Rank 3 Cultivation Country into a Rank 2 Cultivation Country."

"He even reversed-slain the Soul Transformation rank supervisory envoy sent by the Rank 4 Cultivation Country beneath his sword."

"Immediately afterward, he forcefully advanced to Soul Transformation within the borders of the State of Zhao, yet finally disappeared without a trace mysteriously."

"Could this person be Fellow Daoist Tongxuan!"

Duanmu Ji had also heard a thing or two about that supervisory envoy from the State of Zhao.

He considered trash of that level something he could slay within ten moves by his own estimation.

Therefore, after secretly inquiring about Sun Xuan's background and learning that he had reverse-slain a Soul Transformation Cultivator while in the fake-god Realm, though his heart was startled,

he was not afraid.

"Oh!"

After hearing Duanmu Ji's words, a flash of sharp light flickered across Sun Xuan's eyes and vanished.

Then he spoke in a somewhat deep tone:

"Fellow Daoist Baji, such a joke cannot be made casually."

"This impoverished Daoist is merely an ordinary Cultivator who has lived in seclusion deep within the mountains and forests for years."

"As for offending a Rank 4 Cultivation Country, this impoverished Daoist would never dare to do such a thing!"

Hearing Sun Xuan's words, although Duanmu Ji sneered repeatedly in his heart and became even more certain that he was the mysterious Cultivator who had run rampant through the State of Zhao,

he immediately put on a very apologetic expression on his face and said:

"Fellow Daoist Tongxuan, it is entirely this old Daoist's fault. This old Daoist shouldn't have randomly guessed your origins."

"Please forgive me, Fellow Daoist!"

Sun Xuan chuckled sinisterly in his heart, but without showing the slightest bit of it on his face, he spoke:

"Not at all, not at all. Fellow Daoist Baji, please take a seat."

"I wonder if Fellow Daoist's visit to our humble Sect this time is for anything that requires this impoverished Daoist's help?"

Hearing Sun Xuan's inquiry, the expression on Duanmu Ji's face immediately turned somewhat solemn.

A flash of unmaskable greed flickered deep within Duanmu Ji's pupils, and then he spoke to Sun Xuan:

"As a Cultivator at the Soul Transformation Stage, Fellow Daoist, I wonder if you have ever heard of the nascent transformation pill!"

The greed in Duanmu Ji's eyes was reflected in Sun Xuan's eyes, causing a mocking sneer to involuntarily rise in Sun Xuan's heart.

"What nascent transformation pill? That Ancient God Land has no such thing as a nascent transformation pill."

"What exists there is only a heaven-shaking conspiracy with its giant mouth wide open, waiting to devour your little life."

Although Sun Xuan was thinking this in his heart, he didn't reveal a trace of it on his face.

Sun Xuan's face showed a look of shock and loss of color, and even his body seemed to involuntarily and abruptly stand up.

It was an uncomposed expression after hearing shocking news of massive proportions.

Then he spoke to Duanmu Ji with a somewhat trembling voice:

"Could what Fellow Daoist Baji is referring to be that holy medicine that only requires taking a single pill,"

"which can advance one into the Soul Formation stage, the nascent transformation pill?"

Watching Sun Xuan's inexplicably shocked expression, Duanmu Ji's face immediately revealed a trace of hard-to-detect satisfaction.

"Correct, it is precisely that nascent transformation pill!"

"When this old Daoist was traveling, he discovered an ancient ruin."

"Although it is exceptionally perilous inside, it very likely contains that legendary holy medicine, the nascent transformation pill."

"This old Daoist has already invited several Cultivators of the same rank to go and explore it."

"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Tongxuan is willing to go along together?"
