Although the other party didn't explicitly say it, he could guess some of it.

He had previously sensed very clearly that Xuan Ming had no vitality at all, and must have fallen under the 'Dragon Transformation' strike.

At most, a wisp of his divine soul remained.

The appearance of the old monk, coupled with what he said, all proved that Xuan Ming's death meant that when he was resurrected, he would be the divine soul fused with that old monk.

You could say he was Xuan Ming, or you could say he wasn't.

Reincarnation, simply put.

But that was not the case.

It was equivalent to a completely new divine soul, so what was the difference between that and death?

Of course, he couldn't be sure yet, but when he saw Xuan Ming next time, he would know more or less. Moreover, it didn't have much to do with him.

The other party didn't have the destiny he needed, so his life or death didn't really matter.

Taking a long breath, no matter what, the formidable enemy Xuan Ming had left, and he could safely collect the Transformation God Lotus. With this, he was confident that he could raise his cultivation to the peak of the Profound Connection Realm in a short time.

With his current strength in the late Profound Connection Realm, he could defeat or even kill Xuan Ming. When he advanced to the peak of the Profound Connection Realm and participated in the Ascension Battle, he would surely be worry-free.

Sitting cross-legged in place for half an hour, Chen Yuan's injuries recovered a lot.

He now had the power to fight.

Although Jiang He's guidance allowed Chen Yuan to not suffer such a great backlash when performing the 'Dragon Transformation' move, the consumption was inevitable.

Most of his Qi and blood were consumed, and there was no time to replenish them in a short period of time.

If it weren't for spiritual objects like the Blood Bodhi, he wouldn't be able to recover even after cultivating for another three hours.

And he only had a few Blood Bodhi left in his hand now.

It was a pity. If he could enter the Tangshan Buddha Temple at any time, he really wanted to risk exploring it again to see if he could get some more Blood Bodhi.

Standing up, he sheathed the Emperor Slaughtering Saber.

Chen Yuan looked at the small hill to his left front and took a step forward.

......

......

Inside the cave.

Chen Yuan's eyes shone with spiritual light as he walked up the steps step by step.

The Transformation God Lotus in the pool moved without wind, swaying slightly, exuding a powerful spiritual force around it.

Looking at the lotus flower in front of him, he could feel his own divine soul and spirit growing just by approaching and taking a light breath. It was worthy of being a rare spiritual object that could affect Transformation Yang True Persons.

His eyes flickering, Chen Yuan did not rashly take the Transformation God Lotus, but protected himself with Gang Qi and said lightly:

"Senior, aren't you going to show yourself yet?"

The cave was silent, with no response, as if Chen Yuan was talking to himself.

But was that really the case?

Of course not.

As early as when he had just entered the cave and opened his Heavenly Eyes, he had discovered a wisp of black Qi surrounding the cyan-light-filled Transformation God Lotus, but he had not revealed it at the time.

He didn't want to disturb Xuan Ming either.

He didn't want anyone to ruin their fight.

Thinking about the old monk from Xuan Ming's previous life looking back at the divine lotus with a meaningful glance, he must have discovered something as well.

From this, he thought of another saying about the Transformation God Lotus in the Records of Strange Tales.

It was said that the Transformation God Lotus was also known as the Nourishing God Lotus. In addition to enhancing the Yuan Shen, it could also nourish the divine soul. If a warrior's body was destroyed, they could continue to survive in the Nourishing God Lotus.

And the biggest legend about this secret realm was the place where that Transformation Yang True Person fell more than a hundred years ago.

Considering so many doubts, how could the always suspicious Chen Yuan not be suspicious?

Seeing that no one responded, Chen Yuan grasped the Emperor Slaughtering Saber:

"Since Senior is unwilling to show himself, then I will have to collect the Transformation God Lotus and send Senior on your way."

A murderous aura began to permeate.

On the Emperor Slaughtering Saber, strands of fierce Qi dissipated.

"Little friend, why so much hostility?"

Suddenly, a somewhat hoarse voice of an old man came from within the Transformation God Lotus.

Chen Yuan looked directly at the other party and smiled:

"How can a warrior not have a fierce aura?"

"That's also true. I have seen your divine might before, little friend. You truly are stronger than the last generation. May I ask, little friend, are you the number one on the current Potential Dragon List?"

"I dare not, Chen is only ranked fourth."

"Oh?"

The voice in the Transformation God Lotus was a little surprised and couldn't help but say:

"With your strength, little friend, you are only ranked fourth on the Potential List? It's true that time passes quickly in the mountains, and a thousand years have passed in the world. Each generation is stronger than the last. Which emperor is on the throne of Great Jin now?"

"Jingtai."

"It seems that I have been asleep for too long. So much time has passed." The voice was a little melancholy.

"Senior, are you the rumored Transformation Yang True Person who fell in Mengze Mountain?"

The old man laughed in a broken voice:

"That should be me. It's a pity that I had a whole body of heaven-defying abilities, but I ended up in such a situation. If it weren't for the two of you fighting and awakening my remnant soul,

I'm afraid I would have completely dissipated in a few years."

Chen Yuan smiled without saying a word, but a trace of apprehension flashed in his eyes.

"Little friend has extraordinary talent and a superior physique. I wonder which expert you learned from?"

"I have always explored and cultivated on my own."

"Little friend is so extraordinary?" The old man's tone flashed with a hint of surprise:

"I have roamed the Jianghu for hundreds of years and have some treasures left, but unfortunately, most of them were destroyed in a previous battle. Only a Transformation God Lotus seed remains, otherwise, I would have given them all to you, little friend."

"Senior is generous."

"However, although the treasures have been destroyed, I still have some supernatural abilities. If little friend does not dislike it, I can give them to you at this moment of parting,

Hoping that you can build a cenotaph for me in the future and protect this secret realm, as a mausoleum for me."

Chen Yuan's expression was solemn:

"This... Senior's legacy should be left to future generations. How dare I overstep?"

The old man's voice in the Transformation God Lotus was a little sorrowful, and he said in a low voice:

"My sect was destroyed, and my family was slaughtered. Now there is no descendant in the world. It is my blessing that you have the opportunity to come here. This body of cultivation techniques and supernatural powers can also find an heir."

"Well... Are you willing to take me as your teacher?"

Chen Yuan hesitated:

"I already have a teacher, Senior..."

"Forget it, forget it, I am about to die, so I won't be particular about these things. As long as you inherit my mantle, it is no different from being my disciple."

"Then I will thank Senior."

The Transformation God Lotus swayed slightly, and a phantom of an old man in black slowly revealed his true form. His beard and hair were all white, his eyes were bright, his face was square, and he looked rather upright.

"Then I will tell you about the cultivation technique I have cultivated. Back then, I relied on this cultivation technique to roam the Jianghu for more than a hundred years."

The old man stroked his illusory beard and said with a smile.

From a distance, he really looked kind and benevolent, with the bearing of a master.

Chen Yuan bowed and said sincerely:

"I am listening to Senior's teachings."

"This cultivation technique is called the Mending Heaven Scripture, a genuine Taoist method. It is said to have been created by the Taoist Ancestor and once dominated the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. I was fortunate enough to learn it in a secret realm."

The old man sighed and said softly:

"The way of heaven diminishes what is in excess and... the Taoist way, follows its heaven..."

The old man's tongue was like a lotus flower, and he began to explain this cultivation technique to Chen Yuan.

But what really shocked Chen Yuan was that this cultivation technique that the old man was explaining actually touched him!

Because what he was talking about was the Tai Xuan Scripture!

The old man's voice was as loud as a bell, containing Taoist principles, which were the old man's lifelong insights.

Chen Yuan's hundred acupoints around his body bloomed with spiritual light and began to operate frantically.

The explanation deepened Chen Yuan's understanding of the Tai Xuan Scripture.

Looking at Chen Yuan, the old man had a hint of surprise in his eyes and couldn't help but ask:

"You... have you cultivated this cultivation technique?"

It was no wonder he thought so, because the other party's changes were too great. This could not be explained by mere talent. The only thing that could cause this scene

was definitely because this kid had cultivated this cultivation technique.

But this...

How was that possible?

Could it be...

The old man's eyes were a little suspicious.

Chen Yuan truthfully said:

"So that Senior knows, the cultivation technique I have cultivated is something inherited from my mother's clan. A few years ago, my mother's clan suffered a great disaster. When I arrived, it had already turned into ruins.

Finally, under the ruins, I found a stone tablet. After studying it, I followed the tadpole script and unknowingly succeeded in gathering Qi and broke through to the Condensing Gang Realm."

The old man stared at Chen Yuan and asked:

"Does your mother's clan have the surname Yang?"

Chen Yuan showed a look of surprise:

"How does Senior know?"

"Hahaha..." The old man stroked his beard and laughed very happily.

The laughter dissipated, and the old man said in a low voice:

"Little friend, do you know my name?"

"I don't know."

Chen Yuan's eyes were a little confused.

"My surname is Yang!"

"What!"

Chen Yuan appropriately revealed a hint of shock.

Could it be that this old man was a senior of Yang Wanlou?

The old man's eyes were a little reminiscent, and he said in a low voice:

"More than a hundred years ago, I knew that my limit was approaching, and I tried my best to find out if there were any descendants of my Yang family in this world. Finally, Heaven did not disappoint those who worked hard.

In Nanling Prefecture, Qingzhou, I finally found a branch that had separated from the main branch of my Yang family more than three hundred years ago. After some consideration, I left them a stone tablet.

And that stone tablet was the treasure I obtained in the ruins, which contained the Mending Heaven Scripture."

"I warned the Yang family patriarch of that generation that this stone tablet contained a fairy fate. If they could understand it, it would be a great opportunity."

"Why did Senior leave a riddle instead of revealing everything?"

"That's because I still had enemies and didn't want this branch to be implicated by me. And the stone tablet was magical. Once it was spread out, it would definitely become a disaster.

A common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure. That branch was too weak to protect this thing. In fact, to be on the safe side, I also removed the memory of my appearance from the Yang family patriarch's memory, leaving only the impression of an anonymous immortal."

The old man's eyes were a little gratified:

"I thought that my Yang family's descendants would die out from now on, and the stone tablet would also disappear into the world. I didn't expect that by chance, I would still meet you. It is really the blessing of heaven.

Although you don't have the surname Yang, the blood of my Yang family also flows in your body."

Chen Yuan was greatly shocked and said in disbelief:

"I never thought that there would be such secrets."

"Hahaha, since you are a descendant of my Yang family, then my supernatural powers can be passed on without regret. In addition to this Mending Heaven Scripture, I also have several supernatural secret methods that will surely allow you to roam the Jianghu with this."

The old man's face was smiling, and he was about to continue speaking when suddenly, his illusory body began to shake unsteadily.

"Senior, what's wrong with you?"

Chen Yuan asked with great concern.

The old man's face was a little lonely, and he said in a low voice:

"I am ultimately able to survive only by relying on the Nourishing God Lotus, but now it is time for my soul to be destroyed. It's a pity for my body of earth-shattering divine soul secret methods."

"Senior..."

Suddenly, the old man's eyes lit up and he said in a deep voice:

"No, it's not too late. I can use empowerment inheritance for you. In this way, it is more magical than me telling you here."

"Then please empower me, Senior."

The old man hesitated:

"But... empowerment requires going deep into your Lingtai. For you, I'm afraid it will be a little dangerous."

Chen Yuan's face was firm, and he said in a deep voice:

"I am originally a descendant of Senior, how can Senior harm me? I believe Senior."

The old man nodded with satisfaction and said:

"If you were not a descendant of my Yang family, I would rather die than empower you with my supernatural powers, but you are after all the only descendant of my Yang family in this world.

I must help you one last time. Since you believe me, I will naturally not disappoint you."

"Senior, please come." Chen Yuan's eyes were solemn.

The old man let out a breath:

"I am about to die, and I have one last wish that I hope you can grant."

"Senior, please speak."

"If you have two children in the future, can you let one of them inherit my Yang family's mantle?"

"Senior, rest assured, I promise."

Chen Yuan did not hesitate at all.

"Very good, very good."

The old man laughed up to the sky:

"I have roamed the Jianghu for two hundred years, and today... I will reincarnate."

After saying that, the old man looked at Chen Yuan and said:

"Boy, relax your mind."

Chen Yuan sat down cross-legged, with a sincere expression, and said solemnly:

"Please empower me, Senior."

Then, the old man transformed into a wisp of black ghost light in the void and rushed towards Chen Yuan. Since Chen Yuan did not make any preparations, that wisp of remnant soul easily entered Chen Yuan's Lingtai.

"Senior, aren't you empowering me? Why did you enter my Heavenly Palace Lingtai?"

Chen Yuan seemed a little flustered.

The old man let out a classic laugh:

"Jie Jie Jie... Boy, I am your elder, why don't you give this body to me?"

"Senior wants to seize my body?"

"No... It's like that bald-headed monk before, you and I will merge into one, I only have a remnant soul left and cannot seize your body. From now on, you will be me, and I will be you.

Let me control your body, and you will surely stand at the peak of the world in the future. Hahaha... It is really God bless me. I thought the people who came in were a bunch of misfits,

I didn't expect it to be such a peerless figure."

The old man had probably stayed in the Nourishing God Lotus for too long, and was a little crazy at the moment.

Chen Yuan's expression was calm, unhurried, and he smiled:

"Senior, have you heard a saying?"

"What saying? Don't waste time, boy, just surrender."

"Villains die because of too much talking."

Chen Yuan smiled faintly. In an instant, a sky-filled cyan light poured out from all parts of the Lingtai, and in the blink of an eye, it bound the old man in place.

The reason why he didn't act rashly and waste so much time was because he was afraid of the unknown old man's methods. If he fought rashly, he was afraid that he would not be able to do so.

But once he entered his Lingtai, he couldn't help but make his own decisions.

Even the majestic peerless fierce soldier could only obediently submit here, let alone a broken divine soul?

His purpose was to lure this person into this place.

In this way, he could suppress this fellow without bloodshed.

The sky-filled cyan light enveloped the old man. Feeling the supreme suppression power coming from it, the old man panicked instantly and exclaimed:

"What... what kind of method is this? You dare to plot against me?"

"It's a method you can't imagine?" Chen Yuan thought.

The vast destiny began to squeeze, and in a moment, it annihilated the old man in the Heavenly Palace Lingtai, as if he had never appeared here.

Sensing that the old man's aura had completely disappeared, Chen Yuan murmured softly:

"The Yang family... This can be considered a complete annihilation."

Perhaps in the old man's heart, he still thought that Chen Yuan really had the bloodline of the Yang family, and he didn't even know that it was Chen Yuan who had destroyed the Yang family to obtain that divine tablet.

It was indeed a coincidence that the matter about the Yang family had long been ignored by him. He didn't expect to be able to mention it again today.

He could only sigh that the world's fate is impermanent.

Letting out a breath, Chen Yuan refocused his gaze on the swaying Transformation God Lotus in front of him, with a rather ardent look. Now, he could finally obtain this opportunity without any scruples.

With both hands forming a seal, an invisible Gang Qi removed the blooming divine lotus in front of him from the spiritual pool and suspended it in front of Chen Yuan. His expression was solemn,

and his aura was adjusted to the most prosperous moment.

The light between his eyebrows was greatly enhanced, the Heavenly Palace Divine Aperture opened, and a powerful attraction was transmitted, pulling the divine lotus towards the Lingtai.

Yes, whether it was the guidance of the opportunity or the information Chen Yuan obtained from the Records of Strange Tales, he knew that this divine lotus was not for swallowing.

Because this thing had a unique spirituality.

This divine lotus was planted in the Heavenly Palace Divine Aperture, that is, in the Lingtai.

The Tai Xuan Scripture accelerated its operation, absorbing the surrounding heaven and earth's Yuan Qi, and converging towards Chen Yuan's body.

After a while, the blooming divine lotus was finally moved into the Lingtai. Like a Sumeru mustard seed that transformed in size, the Transformation God Lotus was firmly rooted in the Lingtai.

The roots were submerged below, and the surrounding heaven and earth's Yuan Qi converged towards the divine lotus.

The divine lotus swayed gently. Between a breath and an exhale, Chen Yuan felt his own divine soul extremely comfortable, and his 'divinity' greatly increased. In an instant, it could be worth a day of cultivation and training before.

Planting the divine lotus in the Lingtai, although it did not immediately increase Chen Yuan's cultivation, it could definitely raise his cultivation to the peak in a short period of time. Even,

according to records, this divine lotus also had a miraculous effect on forming a Golden Core.

It seemed to be able to help him resist the Heart Demon Tribulation.

It was definitely a rare and precious spiritual object in the Jianghu, and even Transformation Yang True Persons would compete for it.

With this thing, Chen Yuan was confident that he could completely raise his cultivation to the peak of the Profound Connection Realm before the Ascension Battle began!

Although there were several dangers in the competition for the divine lotus, it was obviously worth it.
