Mortal's Purple Sky Cave Heaven

Chapter 507 The Flower of Mysterious Heaven
"This person encountered the Black Owl King, yet he appears here unharmed. His strength is indeed beyond our reach. However, Brother Long, why don't you invite him to join our journey to the Demon Realm? That would be much safer, and the chances of him entering the Cleansing Pool and consuming the Purifying Lotus would be much greater. Calculating the time until the Demon Realm and the Spirit Realm merge, there's only a thousand years left," the purple-robed man said with a frown.

"For a Nascent Soul cultivator like me, the Demonic Tribulation is indeed a golden opportunity to enter the Demon Realm. My plan to invite others is merely to have them help me achieve my goal, but if I were to actually invite this person, I would most likely miss out on the Cleansing Spirit Pool and the Purifying Spirit Lotus. It's just a pity that Elder Hui's unexpected death has left me one less helper, and with you guarding the Long family, you simply cannot escape." The Long family patriarch clenched his hands in his sleeves, a fierce glint flashing across his face as he spoke.

“Brother Long’s words make some sense, but in that case, the planned trip to the Demon Realm will be much more dangerous. I’ve heard some news that when Senior Mo Jianli was still a Nascent Soul cultivator, he also ventured into the Demon Source Sea, but unfortunately, he didn’t even see the Spirit Cleansing Pool and had to retreat with serious injuries.” The purple-robed man said thoughtfully.

The patriarch of the Long family said confidently:
"Opportunities and dangers coexist; this is an eternal truth. At my age, if I don't advance further, I'll truly be stuck at the Integration Realm for the rest of my life, unable to progress any further. Besides, I've also learned that the guardians of the Spirit Cleansing Pool are at most two Demon Ancestors. Facing two Ancestors alone, I certainly have no chance of survival. But if I bring along the Ye family's patriarch and a few other Integration Realm cultivators with decent strength, we should be able to manage."

"After all, we don't need the two Demon Ancestors to actually fight each other. We just need to rush into the Spirit Cleansing Island. Once we get there, with the pure spiritual energy there suppressing them, the Demon Ancestors will be lucky to unleash half their full power."

"Yes, Brother Long is very thoughtful. There was indeed no need to invite this person." After hearing about the secrets of the Cleansing Pool, the purple-robed man said solemnly.

"Let's go. I'm going back to immediately go into seclusion and try to reach the peak of the late-stage realm as soon as possible." The patriarch of the Long family nodded, then flicked his sleeve, and a golden glow swept out, enveloping his figure and turning into a ball of golden light, shooting towards the giant city.

"Heavenly Net Pill!" Upon seeing this, the purple-robed man murmured almost inaudibly, then made a hand seal and transformed into a gust of purple wind, disappearing into the distance.

At the same time, tens of thousands of miles away, Nie Zhaonan was also speeding away into the distance.

It didn't take long for Nie Zhaonan and his companion to use the teleportation array to return to Tianyuan City.

Luofeng Mountain, southeast corner cave.

After returning and exchanging feelings with the women, Nie Zhaonan entered the secret room.

After sitting cross-legged on the futon, he flicked his sleeve, and a ball of blue light shot out from it, faintly containing something.

It was the same measuring ruler that they had obtained from the cave dwelling of the Celestial Master Tianluo.

Although this treasure is not a Xuan Tian treasure, it still felt incredibly mysterious and powerful to him. Now he had the opportunity to refine it.

In a flash, the green ruler was captured in his hand.

As Nie Zhaonan ran his fingers across the surface of the blue ruler, he slowly closed his eyes and probed into it with his divine sense.

His expression remained calm and unwavering until, after an unknown period of time, he suddenly opened his eyes.

"As long as you practice the Tongbao Technique recorded inside, you will be able to control this treasure."

He whispered something, and then a flash of silver light appeared in his hand holding the green ruler as he poured an extremely pure magical power into it.

The next moment, the Measuring Ruler emitted a long cry, and with a tremor, a screen of cyan light suddenly shot out from its surface.

Rows of ancient characters appeared neatly on the light screen.

Nie Zhaonan's eyes flashed with delight, and he memorized the Tongbao Technique of the Measuring Ruler. With a flick of his wrist, the light screen dissipated, and the green ruler vanished in a flash.

Without hesitation, he formed hand seals and began his cultivation.

Time flies, and a day passes in the blink of an eye.

With Nie Zhaonan's current cultivation level at the Integration stage, he naturally doesn't need to cultivate for as long as he did when refining the Void Heaven Cauldron.

In just one day, he completed the cultivation technique for this treasure and absorbed the ruler into his body.

Suddenly, Nie Zhaonan had a thought, and the Measuring Ruler appeared in his hand. With a burst of his magic power, the Measuring Ruler shimmered with spiritual light.

Intending to test the exact power of the treasure in his hand, Nie Zhaonan flicked his wrist, and the Measuring Ruler hummed softly. Immediately, fragments of the ruler surged out in front of him, enveloping a section of the void.

Looking at the seemingly unchanged void, Nie Zhaonan's expression brightened with joy.

"This measuring ruler can even temporarily imprison space. Such a supernatural power is truly rare and impossible to defend against."

After happily testing it a few more times, Nie Zhaonan put away the measuring ruler with satisfaction.

After finishing this task, he naturally had to refine the spiritual medicine that Yue Li had given him into pills according to the pill formula. In addition, he also had to refine as many Heavenly Net Pills as possible.

Without hesitation, Nie Zhaonan took out the alchemy furnace and medicinal herbs, and finally spat out a ball of silver flame.

Time flies when you're refining elixirs; days and months pass in the blink of an eye, but the door to the secret chamber has never been opened again.

Meanwhile, news spread that Mingzun and other powerful figures from the Fengyuan Continent had returned empty-handed after meeting Nie Zhaonan.

The news spread rapidly throughout the entire continent, and soon other continental groups also heard about it.

As for the specific reasons behind it, naturally not many people know.

As a result, all the races in the Spirit Realm became very curious. However, since even a powerful figure like Mingzun had not obtained the Xuantian Spirit-Slaying Sword, the powerful figures of some major races naturally gave up and stopped trying.

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the spirit world has completely calmed down, but Nie Zhaonan has never shown his face once from beginning to end.

On this day, in a heavily guarded secret chamber, Nie Zhaonan faced a pill furnace about ten feet tall, made a hand seal with one hand, and calmly focused on the situation inside the furnace.

Below the alchemy furnace, streaks of silver flame swirled and danced around it, while a rich medicinal fragrance wafted out from within.

A short while later, a humming sound came from the furnace, and then the lid opened by itself. Ten pills the size of longan flew out from it, hovered briefly in the air, and then immediately fled in a flurry, full of intelligence.

At this moment, a jade bottle appeared in Nie Zhaonan's hand without anyone noticing. He cast a spell into it, and an amazing suction force was generated at the bottle's opening. It locked onto the ten flying pills and pulled them into the bottle in an instant.

After capping the bottle and applying a simple seal, Nie Zhaonan casually put the jade bottle away.

However, he did not continue refining pills. Instead, his gaze shifted to a patch of void nearby, and he spoke calmly:

"Yue'er, why do you always like to come quietly, not wanting anyone to see you?"

A graceful, lithe white figure silently appeared; it was Yue Li, who had already returned to the True Dragon Realm. Her delicate brows furrowed slightly.
"It's all because of you, doing that kind of thing with your partner. How am I supposed to face them?"

Her voice remained as cold and aloof as ever.

"Why don't you transform into them? And then cultivate together?" Nie Zhaonan revealed a lewd smile.

Yue Li hesitated for a moment, then said softly:

"Let's talk about it later," Nie Zhaonan said softly. "Don't worry, they won't mind. In fact, they'll feel more at ease if you do this."

Yue Li's beautiful brows immediately furrowed, her alabaster red lips pursed slightly, and she said softly:

"You want me to look like them? Are you tired of seeing me?"

"No, I just wanted to make you feel better, and to add a little spice," Nie Zhaonan said, pulling her slender hand and causing Yue Li to fall into his arms.

"There's no need for that, I'll adjust my mindset," Yue Li said, feeling a little better.

"I'm glad you think it's okay, Yue'er." Nie Zhaonan was a little disappointed, but he didn't show it. He just hugged the beauty.

After enjoying a moment of tranquility, Yue Li said softly:

"Your alchemy skills are quite good. The pills you produce are free of impurities and have full medicinal power."

"Of course, I've refined so many pills that I've lost count. Ever since you left, Yue'er, I've missed you terribly. As soon as I returned to this cave, I started refining pills here, and I still am now," Nie Zhaonan said meaningfully.

"Carry me back to my room," Yue Li said knowingly.

Nie Zhaonan said forcefully:

"right here."

"A futon?" Yue Li's expression became somewhat unnatural.

Before she could react, Nie Zhaonan cupped her face and forcefully sucked on her red lips. Her cheeks gradually became hot, but her lips remained cool.

After a long while, Nie Zhaonan finally raised his head and stared blankly at the beauty so close to him.

Her eyes were long and round, her eyebrows were long and slightly upturned, her nose was straight yet delicate, her lips were full and plump, and the corners of her lips were exquisitely carved, without a single flaw.

Her facial features are both delicate and three-dimensional, yet possess a soft and gentle beauty.

Nie Zhaonan couldn't help but sigh softly:
"gorgeous!"

Yue Li turned her face away, her voice barely audible:
"As long as you like it."

At this moment, Yue Li had completely forgotten what she had said to Nie Zhaonan when she left the Spirit Realm.

Nie Zhaonan laughed, then, supporting her waist, turned her around so that her back was to him.

Yue Li's body stiffened slightly and trembled a little. This position always made her feel insecure, but she was unaware of how alluring her buttocks were.

As if a battle horn had sounded, Nie Zhaonan could no longer resist and pressed himself tightly against her, embracing her slender waist.
After an unknown amount of time, Nie Zhaonan's satisfied voice finally echoed through the room:

"Is everything going well for Yue'er in the True Dragon Realm?"

"Hmm, besides you, who else would dare to bully me?" Yue Li's tone was languid. "I've already brought the Xuan Tian Flower Tree, and besides that, I've also collected some spiritual herbs."

"Then what are we waiting for?" Nie Zhaonan was taken aback, then grabbed Yue Li's small waist and disappeared into the secret room.

Yue Li was truly helpless. Of course, she wanted to accelerate the ripening of the Xuan Tian Flower Tree, but how could she refuse Nie Zhaonan's dual cultivation?

She discovered that she had changed since being forced to cultivate with Nie Zhaonan; she could never bring herself to refuse whatever Nie Zhaonan wanted to do.

When the two reappeared, they were already standing by the spirit field of Zixiao Cave Heaven, where there was a large empty spirit field.

With a flick of her jade sleeve, a palm-sized ice crystal tree appeared out of thin air in front of her and then fell onto the spirit field on its own.

As soon as Fang landed on the spirit field, the roots of the small ice crystal tree took hold in the soil and quickly grew larger.

In the blink of an eye, it grew to a hundred feet tall and returned to its original size.

The Xuan Tian Hua tree was still entirely pale blue, with pink lotus flowers blooming all over its branches, resembling water lilies, each flower as big as a bowl.

After watching for a while, Nie Zhaonan raised his hand, and a storage bracelet slowly flew out. When it reached the Xuan Tian Flower Tree, it paused slightly, and then with a flash of spiritual light, spirit stones poured out like raindrops, landing on the spirit field.

Witnessing the spirit stones gradually dimming in color, eventually becoming completely transparent and disappearing, and seeing the Xuan Tian Flower Tree grow at an astonishing speed, Yue Li's jade-like face showed slight surprise:
"Even though I knew beforehand that the spiritual fields here could accelerate the ripening of spiritual plants, seeing this scene with my own eyes still felt incredible, as if it were all a dream."

Nie Zhaonan came up behind her, put his arm around her slender waist, and slowly pressed himself against her:

"How could this be a dream?"

"Mmm," Yue Li responded softly.

In just a short while, the Xuan Tian Flower Tree grew more than ten zhang taller, reaching the limit of its height. However, at the very top of the tree, a different kind of spiritual flower appeared.

This flower is not a pale pink like other flowers, but a crystal-clear blue, as if it were carved from ice.

"The Xuan Tian Flower has bloomed!" Yue Li couldn't hide her excitement.

"After the Xuan Tian Flower blooms, it will bear the Xuan Tian Fruit." The Xuan Tian Spirit-Slaying Sword was personally cultivated by Nie Zhaonan, so he was naturally very familiar with this process.

Under their watchful eyes, the Xuan Tian Flower bloomed and withered swiftly, like a fleeting ephemera, and then a crystal-blue fruit emerged, emitting a soft white light.

The fruit was initially smaller than a little finger, but as the spiritual field continuously absorbed the spiritual energy from the spirit stones, the fruit expanded at a visible speed until it grew to about half a foot in length before suddenly stopping and ceasing to change.

This Xuan Tian Fruit has two rounded ends, one large and one small, while the middle is the thinnest part of the fruit. Overall, it looks like a strange little stick.

"I wonder what kind of Xuan Tian treasure this is. Hurry up and pick the fruit." Nie Zhaonan let go of her hand and urged her in her ear.

Yue Li nodded slightly. Even with her tens of thousands of years of cultivation, she was getting impatient.

With a light stomp of her jade-like foot, she floated up into the air. Once she reached the desired height, she reached out without hesitation and plucked the fruit from her hand.
