Mortal's Purple Sky Cave Heaven

Chapter 526 Origin Pill

With a muffled thud, amidst the surging golden light and exorcising divine thunder, the demonic mask shattered inch by inch, turning into countless black wisps of smoke, and finally vanished without a trace.

Countless five-colored fragments appeared on the spot and floated motionless in the air.

"The True Spirit Origin!"

Nie Zhaonan's eyes lit up, and with a flick of his sleeve, a wisp of silvery light flew out.

With a flash of silver light, it easily swept up the five-colored fragments, then flew back after a swirl, and was easily collected by Nie Zhaonan.

At this moment, the azure Qilin had returned to its original form, which was a Crystal Clan woman with a crystal inlaid on her forehead.

Looking at Nie Zhaonan, she wanted to say something, but in the end, she could only move her lips and couldn't say anything.

Time flies. On this day, Nie Zhaonan was resting with his eyes closed in the main hall of his cave when suddenly a red light flew in from outside the cave and began to circle around him.

He raised an eyebrow, raised his hand to capture the red light in his palm, and then immersed his mind in it to examine it.

"It's finally turned on."

Nie Zhaonan muttered to himself, then suddenly stood up and walked out of the cave.

Outside the cave, a dozen or so people from other races were waiting.

The four leading figures were all cultivators at the Refinement Void level, dressed in green robes, while the others were armored soldiers wielding silver halberds, appearing ready for battle.

“Senior! We brothers have been ordered by Senior Fei to lead you to meet him.” The leading man in the green robe greeted Nie Zhaonan with a fist and palm salute as soon as he saw him emerge from the cave.

"Then I'll have to trouble you fellow Daoists." Nie Zhaonan didn't show any surprise. After returning from the Demon Gold Mountain Range, he handed the Guanghan Token to the young man surnamed Fei.

However, these dozen or so aliens were also very surprised and uncertain at this moment. They naturally knew that Nie Zhaonan's realm could not be as simple as it appeared on the surface. He was obviously an extraordinary Saint-level cultivator or even above.

What they couldn't understand was that the Guanghan Realm was clearly only open to cultivators of the highest level nine of the upper clans, yet this senior seemed determined to enter as well, which was truly unbelievable.

However, they naturally dared not ask any more questions.

After hearing Nie Zhaonan's words, the young man in the green robe smiled and waved to the armored soldiers behind him.

Suddenly, the dozen or so armored soldiers who were originally standing side by side separated, revealing a hearse shimmering with blue light.

Pulling the cart in front were two enormous bluebirds covered in emerald green feathers, exceptionally beautiful.

At this moment, Nie Zhaonan's group of Daoist companions also came out of the cave and boarded the hearse with Nie Zhaonan without any ceremony.

The four men in green robes also rose and landed on the hearse, standing at the four corners with practiced ease, looking like guards.

After a few clear chirps, the two bluebirds spread their wings and carried the hearse into the air.

Meanwhile, the silver-armored warriors released silver discs one by one, and those riding on magical artifacts also took to the air to follow.

A moment later, the cyan hearse sped off towards a certain location in Cloud City, hundreds of feet above the ground.

Clearly, the entire Cloud City was on high alert. Not only were there very few pedestrians in the city, but also groups of armored soldiers of various colors could be seen patrolling the ground and in the air.

Nie Zhaonan noticed that in some normally important places, there were faint fluctuations of restrictions, as if some magic arrays had been activated.

It seems that the higher-ups in Cloud City are taking the opening of the Guanghan Realm very seriously.

The hearse sped along without encountering any unexpected incidents, and arrived directly at a large square in the center of Yuncheng.

However, the square is now completely sealed off by layers of dense restrictions, and from a distance, one can see dozens of huge pillars, hundreds of feet tall, forming a circle that encloses everything within a radius of more than ten miles.

These pillars all emitted multicolored spiritual light, forming a five-colored light shield that resembled a celestial canopy.

At the center of the five-colored light shield, there were two huge magic arrays with diameters of tens of feet. The surface was inlaid with countless fist-sized crystals, and the edges were engraved with complex and mysterious patterns, flashing with faint light of different colors.

It looks exceptionally beautiful from a distance.

These two interconnected magic arrays are naturally the interdimensional teleportation arrays for entering the Guanghan Realm.

There were more than a dozen of these five-colored light shields and teleportation arrays neatly arranged in the square.

However, as soon as one approaches this area, it becomes clear that there are ten times more guards here than in other places, and the entire area is almost completely surrounded by these guards.

There were also more than a hundred unidentified puppets, each seven or eight zhang tall, some as black as ink, others as red as fire, all scattered in different places, motionless.

Seeing all this, Nie Zhaonan couldn't help but take a second look.

The armored soldiers guarding this place are all at least at the Core Formation stage, with the vast majority being at the Nascent Soul stage.

As for the aura of those at the Refinement of Void level, he scanned them with his divine sense and found nearly a thousand of them.

Not to mention the numerous layers of restrictions surrounding the area.

It is evident that the defenses here are extremely tight, even surpassing those of Tianyuan City, a major city for both humans and demons, by several times.

The blue hearse had no distinguishing features and flew all the way without encountering any checks or obstructions.

As they approached the light barrier, several armored warriors riding giant wolves, but with winged spirit beasts on their backs, flew out of the light barrier and met Nie Zhaonan and his group.

"Commander Jin! Has Senior Lei arrived yet?" A man in his fifties, dressed in blue armor, called out loudly from afar on the back of a giant wolf as soon as he saw the blue hearse.

"Hehe, it must have been Senior Fei who sent Brother Tie to greet us. Don't worry, Senior Lei and the others are already in the carriage. Brother Tie, please release the restrictions." The young man in the green robe replied with a smile from the hearse.

“Alright, I’ll release the restriction right away.” The man riding the giant wolf naturally had no objection.

Then, he and the others each took out an item from their pockets, which turned out to be a series of restriction tokens, and then waved them at the light screen that had just flown out.

Instantly, several beams of light of different colors shot out from the token and onto the light screen, forming a light array about ten feet in size.

The nearby light curtain swayed slightly, and amidst the humming sound, it cracked open, forming a passage.

However, the passageway was still filled with ever-changing five-colored light, making it look extremely mysterious.

Immediately, the young man in the green robe urged the green spirit bird in front of him, and the hearse flew directly into it.

The few people who came out to greet them and the armored soldiers hurriedly followed them inside. Soon the hearse arrived not far from the teleportation array and stopped in front of a calm and composed young man, who was none other than the young man surnamed Fei, a Mahayana stage cultivator from the Thirteen Clans of Tianyun.

"Greetings, Supreme Elder!" Upon seeing the young man surnamed Fei, the group of young men in green robes immediately stepped forward and paid their respects.

"Hmm." The young man surnamed Fei nodded in acknowledgment, then looked at the hearse and said with a smile:
"Fellow Daoist Nie, you have kept me waiting for quite some time. I originally wanted to exchange cultivation experiences and Dao techniques with you these days, but unfortunately you have been in seclusion in your cave."

"Time is of the essence. With the Guanghan Realm about to open, I naturally need to prepare some things. Please forgive me for neglecting you, fellow Daoist." Nie Zhaonan's tone was naturally very polite as he led his group of Daoist companions out.

During this time, under Yue Li's guidance, he naturally refined the true spirit essence obtained from the Demon Gold Mountain Range into pills.

The extraterrestrial demons devoured the true spirit's essence for an unknown period of time, yet they still failed to completely refine it, which illustrates just how difficult it is to refine the true spirit's essence.

Even with the assistance of the celestial firebird, Nie Zhaonan did not dare to stop for a moment before he was able to refine sixteen 'Origin Pills'.

The efficacy of this elixir is self-evident; just one pill will immediately weaken the bottleneck below the Mahayana stage by more than half.

If the amount taken at one time is large enough, it can also have a great effect on Mahayana cultivators.

There was no intention to blame him, and upon hearing that Nie Zhaonan was preparing for the trip to the Guanghan Realm, the young man surnamed Fei naturally had no complaints whatsoever.

But when his gaze fell on Nie Zhaonan and his group, his expression changed:
"Where are two fellow Daoists missing?"

The young man surnamed Fei was naturally referring to the two women, Yin Yue and Yue Li.

Both of them were Nascent Soul cultivators, but they did not practice astonishing secret techniques such as 'magical clones', so naturally they could not hide it from the Guanghan Realm.

Therefore, Nie Zhaonan naturally took the two women into the Zixiao Cave Heaven, hoping to use its power to successfully bring them into the Guanghan Realm.

"The two of them are currently elsewhere, so there's no need for you to worry," Nie Zhaonan explained calmly.

"I see." Seeing that Nie Zhaonan was unwilling to say more, even though he knew there were some secrets involved, the young man surnamed Fei naturally wouldn't ask any more questions out of curiosity.

"I wonder if you have collected all the spiritual herbs you promised to collect?" Suddenly, Nie Zhaonan asked, inquiring about the question he was most concerned about.

"That's natural. My Tianyun Thirteen Clan is a united force of thirteen races, with many high-level cultivators and a wealth of treasures. Under the orders issued throughout the clan, we not only collected all the spiritual herbs we promised you, but we also had an unexpected bonus."

Upon hearing this, the young man surnamed Fei nodded, then took out a storage bracelet from his person and tossed it over.

"Oh? An unexpected surprise?" Nie Zhaonan felt a surge of interest. For the young man surnamed Fei to bring it up in such a special way, it must be more than just an ordinary unexpected surprise.

Filled with curiosity, Nie Zhaonan took the storage bracelet, separated a wisp of his divine sense, and immersed it in the bracelet to examine it carefully.

A moment later, a look of joy gradually appeared on Nie Zhaonan's face.

"Although the extra spiritual herb is only three or four hundred years old, it is indeed one of the six rarest spiritual herbs you possess. Your lifespan is far more than tens of thousands of years, so you can cultivate this spiritual herb until it is suitable for alchemy." The young man surnamed Fei looked at Nie Zhaonan's expression and said with a faint smile.

"Fellow Daoist has truly exhausted all his efforts for my sake." Nie Zhaonan, of course, knew how difficult it was to find the spiritual medicine he possessed, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Helping you is helping the thirteen clans of Tianyuan. My clan will naturally do everything in its power to satisfy you. I believe you won't let my clan down, will you?" When it came to serious matters, the young man surnamed Fei suddenly became solemn.

"If I have enough time, I wouldn't mind slaughtering everyone in the Guanghan Realm!" Nie Zhaonan promised, his tone calm but chilling.

"That would be perfect." The young man surnamed Fei nodded with a smile.

Afterward, the two began to talk about other things.

Time passed slowly, and after an unknown amount of time, suddenly a dragon's roar soared into the sky from the square.

Nie Zhaonan's expression shifted, and he immediately turned his head to scan the square.

A burst of blue light suddenly erupted from the place where the sound came from.

"The Guanghan Realm has been opened. Begin activating the magic array and opening the passage!" The young man surnamed Fei spoke coldly, his voice resounding throughout the entire plaza with the support of his magic power.

Upon hearing this command, everyone in the square felt a chill. The aliens who had been waiting by the magic array simultaneously activated the array flags and array plates in their hands.

Countless colorful spells shot out from the magical artifact and disappeared into the magic array.

At the same time, the magic array in the square began to hum loudly, and various colored spiritual lights began to flash wildly, emitting an extremely astonishing aura!
Seemingly affected by the power of the magic array, the area below the five-colored light curtain in the sky suddenly darkened, and a large patch of black clouds appeared out of thin air, completely obscuring the sky.

Then a strong wind arose, and streaks of silver snakes appeared in the clouds. Lightning flashed and thunder roared, and black vortexes of varying sizes suddenly formed and began to devour and tear each other apart.

For a time, the celestial phenomena were extremely astonishing!
At the same time, the Guanghan Decree, which seemed to be frozen in the void at the center of the magic array, suddenly burst out with dazzling golden and silver light.

"Fellow Daoist Nie, you can now lead your people into the formation and activate the Guanghan Token," the young man surnamed Fei reminded him.

After nodding slightly to the young man surnamed Fei, Nie Zhaonan immediately strode towards the magic array with his group of Daoist companions.

At this moment, the aliens beside the magic array who were activating their magical artifacts continued to unleash their incantations from the array flags and array plates, showing no sign of stopping.

As soon as Nie Zhaonan stepped into the spiritual light of the magic array, he suddenly felt a jolt in his heart, and his connection with the Guanghan Token in the air was strengthened several times over.

The already flickering Guanghan Token emitted a low, rumbling sound, as if it suddenly became joyful because of Nie Zhaonan's arrival.

As for how to activate this order, Nie Zhaonan naturally already knew about it.

As soon as Nie Zhaonan reached the center of the magic array, his hands quickly formed hand seals, and his ten fingers moved as fast as wheels, so fast that only afterimages could be seen.

One after another, spells shot out and, in just a few flashes, struck the token in mid-air.

Instantly, the Guanghan Order shone brightly with gold and silver light, and countless gold and silver runes flew out from its surface.

After these runes circled the token slightly, they formed a rune light array with a diameter of about ten feet.

Guanghan Ling is located at the center of the light array.

Nie Zhaonan took a deep breath, stopped the hand seals, and pointed a finger at a point in the air.

With a whooshing sound, a silver beam of light shot out from the fingertip and landed on the token.
