Seeing He Xun suddenly change his attitude, Li Yunjing frowned repeatedly.

Is he mentally ill?

He Xun continued to laugh heartily.

"Fellow Daoist, seeing your pure spiritual light, why not join my Ancient Hidden Sect so we can jointly comprehend the Body Casting Great Dao?"

Look at Dong Wu, a peasant who cultivated the Body Casting Great Dao Forging and became Golden Core Perfection cultivator.

With your talent, fellow Daoist, if you could cultivate the Body Casting Great Dao, you might even become an immortal!

You should know that in the art of Body Casting, I haven't yet achieved immortality like my predecessors. If you, fellow Daoist, can achieve that, you can be called the Ancestor of Body-Forging Dao power shaking heaven and earth!

Li Yunjing burst out laughing, "You heretics! How could I, a dignified Qi Refining Dao cultivator, ruin my own future? Enough nonsense, your Ancient Hidden Sect has committed a grave taboo, prepare to die!"

"Fellow Daoist, refusing is tantamount to ruining your own future!" He Xun immediately shouted.

Li Yunjing remained unmoved. His three-inch Nascent Soul sat cross-legged in his Dantian, and the nascent Nascent Soul- level spiritual power flowing around his body surged into his dantian along his meridians. With a humming and trembling sound, a sword shadow wrapped in nine-colored magnetic light burst out of his body and hovered in front of him.

"You won't listen to reason, so be it! I'll show you the power of my Body Casting Great Dao!" He Xun shouted.

"Roar--!"

The inhuman roar shook the rock face, causing rocks to fall. He Xun was the first to move.

The Xuantie spine suddenly exerted force, and the giant claws of the Jade-Eyed Golden-Pupiled Beast slammed down with a deafening roar as they Rend Space. With its innate immense strength and the enhancement of the spirit iron, the ground was already cracked even before the claws arrived.

At the same time, the right arm's bronze cannon barrel suddenly lit up with a crimson halo, and the Fire Crow demon fire, which melts gold and iron, carried spiritual energy bullets that rained down from all directions.

Eight Suanni bone spikes detached from his back at the same time, cutting through the wind with a sharp sound and sealing off all escape routes.

He Xun's first move was an impenetrable killing trap.

Li Yunjing's gaze was focused and unwavering. His Nascent Soul suddenly opened its eyes in his Dantian, spewing out a mouthful of pure Nascent Soul spiritual power. The Nine True Magnetic Light Sword instantly swelled, and the nine-colored magnetic light exploded outwards.

He pointed his sword, and the sword light met the giant claw first.

The deafening clang of metal against metal shook the entire ruins, and Li Yunjing felt a slight numbness in his hand.

This monster possessed strength comparable to that of a body cultivator of the same level. Not only did it withstand the sword's edge, but it also only left a fine line on its claws.

But he never expected to break through the defense in one blow. The magnetic light on the sword spread out, and the Cold Iron at the tip of the claw was instantly twisted and deformed by the magnetic force, and the originally fierce claw attack was immediately weakened by seven-tenths.

This is the power of Nine True Magnetic Light!

Any metal or metal will be affected by the Nine True Magnetic Light.

At the same instant, the nine-colored Nine True Magnetic Light spread out from the sword as the center.

The fireballs fired by the Fire Crow demons were instantly annihilated as soon as they entered the force field, their spiritual energy scattered by the magnetic light.

The eight lion-shaped Suanni, each with a metallic core, were firmly held in mid-air by an invisible magnetic force, preventing the monster from advancing an inch no matter how hard it tried.

He Xun felt the pain, and his madness intensified.

Suddenly, a sinister green light shone from the Dark Glow Jade on its forehead, and a soul-stealing power rushed straight into Li Yunjing's sea of consciousness.

At the same time, all the Spirit-Gathering Jade Marrow in his chest and abdomen shone brightly, merging the innate Divine Ability of dozens of Demon Beast into one, transforming into a torrent of spiritual power mixed with ferocity and putridity, crashing down from the sky.

The Dark Water Python's long tail also lashed out at the same time, its venomous barbs gleaming with an eerie light, aiming to completely pierce through Li Yunjing's protective spiritual power.

Within Li Yunjing's sea of consciousness, his Nascent Soul sat cross-legged, his Dao heart as steady as Mount Tai. As soon as the soul-devouring evil power approached, it was crushed into nothingness by the protective spiritual light surrounding the Nascent Soul soul.

He pointed his sword and uttered a soft shout, "Nine Truths return to their places, Magnetic Lock on Heaven and Earth!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Nine True Magnetic Light Sword instantly split into nine Magnetic Light Sword, each imbued with True Intention of his swordsmanship from his Nascent Soul Realm stage.

The first sword strike was swift as lightning, precisely striking the monster's Dark Glow Jade on its forehead.

In the flash of magnetic light, the jade stone that could disturb people's minds was instantly covered with spider web-like cracks, and the evil power inside was completely cleared away by the magnetic storm. He Xun's roar paused for a moment.

The remaining eight sword shadows followed closely behind, as if they were sentient, and burrowed into the seams between the spirit iron, jade, and Demon Beast beast limbs on He Xun's body.

He Xun's cultivation was entirely based on the splicing of external parts, and the seams were the most fatal flaws. The Nine True Magnetic Light Sword was best at drilling through gaps to break through defenses and controlling magnetism to attract spiritual energy.

The moment the sword shadow entered his body, it surged wildly along the patterns of the spirit iron, the Spirit Vein of the jade, and the tendons of the Demon Beast, completely disrupting the spiritual power that He Xun had forcibly fused together.

"Ah--!"

A piercing scream echoed through the sky.

He Xun clearly felt that everything he depended on for survival was spiraling out of control.

The Xuantie spine was twisted and deformed by the magnetic force, the Spirit-Gathering Jade Marrow exploded one piece after another, and the tendons of the Demon Beast's limbs were severed inch by inch by the sword shadows. The rejection reaction and backlash that had been forcibly suppressed erupted at the same time, and black blood and broken jade splattered continuously from the seams of its body.

Li Yunjing gave him no chance to self-destruct and retaliate.

Dantian Nascent Soul exerted its power once more, pouring all its Nascent Soul spiritual energy into the sword without reservation. The nine sword shadows instantly merged into one, Nine True Magnetic Light Sword transformed into a long rainbow of magnetic light that pierced through heaven and earth, directly stabbing towards the core Spirit-Gathering Jade Marrow in He Xun's chest and abdomen.

With a soft "plop," the sword light pierced through He Xun's body without any hindrance.

The Nine True Magnetic Light exploded within his body, blasting the pieced-together remains of the Demon Beast, the spirit iron and jade, the twisted flesh and blood, along with his last wisp of divine soul, into dust that filled the sky.

A gentle breeze swept by, and the world returned to silence.

Li Yunjing sheathed his sword and stood still, his fingertips trembling slightly as he calmed the surging Qi and Blood within his body. The Nascent Soul in his Dantian slowly closed its eyes, and the spiritual power around him gradually gathered into his sea of qi.

The Nine True Magnetic Light Sword transformed into a stream of light, circled around his body, and finally gently entered his Dantian, returning to the nurturing embrace of his Nascent Soul.

"Call."

Li Yunjing breathed a long sigh of relief.

This was the first time he had used the Nine True Magnetic Light Sword with all his might to kill an enemy.

The Nine True Magnetic Light Sword truly lives up to its reputation as a magical sword forged from Nine True Magnetic Light; its power is indeed formidable.

However, He Xun's strength also surprised Li Yunjing.

To be honest, He Xun's strength is not weak.

Although his modified body had many obvious weaknesses.

Even if ordinary cultivators knew where He Xun's weaknesses lay, they wouldn't be able to devise a targeted countermeasure.

Li Yunjing also possessed the Nine True Magnetic Light Sword, which was a perfect counter to He Xun.

If He Xun hadn't encountered Li Yunjing, He Xun most likely have won instead of losing his life.

"There are still eight Nascent Soul True Person in the Ancient Hidden Sect. How did they all He Xun such powerful individuals? Is the Body-Forging Dao really that strong?" Li Yunjing muttered to himself.

The remaining eight Nascent Soul True Person of the Ancient Hidden Sect each possess unique characteristics, and their strength is no weaker than He Xun's.

Ordinary cultivators would find it extremely difficult to deal with, and might even lose their lives, if they encountered it.

This made Li Yunjing wonder if the Body-Forging Dao truly possessed such great power that it could grant an ordinary cultivator strength beyond the reach of ordinary people?

What then is the cultivation level that these righteous cultivators have painstakingly acquired?

Upon realizing this, Li Yunjing quickly focused his mind on his spiritual altar.

"Thank goodness, I would have gone mad if I had thought about it any longer." Li Yunjing secretly rejoiced.

After entering the Nascent Soul Realm, cultivators have a higher degree of harmony with heaven and earth, but are also more likely to attract inner demons.

Just now, Li Yunjing was thinking about that question carefully, and he almost triggered his inner demons.

Once you truly attract inner demons, eradicating them is extremely difficult.
