Mortal's Purple Sky Cave Heaven

Chapter 528

In the upper part of the pavilion, four different-looking members of the Horned Chi tribe were looking at a precious mirror covered with light spots, their expressions all solemn.

The one who exclaimed was a beautiful middle-aged woman nearing thirty, with a pair of small, emerald-green horns on her head, but she covered her almond-shaped mouth with one hand, her beautiful eyes filled with anger.

The precious mirror on the table was a full ten feet tall. Its surface was smooth but had no luster; instead, it was covered with countless red dots.

Just now, six red dots on the mirror suddenly disappeared.

"Six more juniors have perished. The successive deaths of juniors are too suspicious. The Guanghan Realm has already been thoroughly explored by my Jiao Chi clan. Even if there are many Saint-level ancient beasts inside, it is impossible for so many of my clan's juniors to have perished." The beautiful woman murmured.

“This is indeed very strange. If it were two or three groups, they might have been attacked by the ferocious beasts in the Guanghan Realm by accident. But they have only been in the Guanghan Realm for a little over a day, and the losses are already so great. This is too unusual.” Another old man, dressed in a black robe and with a blue spot between his eyebrows, stroked his beard and said.

“Although countless powerful clans have sent people into the Guanghan Realm, and there are certainly a few among them with extraordinary abilities, it is clear from the current situation that someone is targeting my Jiaochi Clan.” Another middle-aged man with a fair complexion and no beard, dressed in a blue robe, said in a solemn tone.

"Logically speaking, several people acting together should be able to protect themselves against a Saint-level being, but they perished. Moreover, they perished together in a very short time, which means their opponent was very powerful." The last person was a burly man who was ten feet tall, and at this moment, he had a bad feeling.

Upon hearing what the burly man said, the old man's eyes flashed, and he fell into deep thought without saying a word.

"Regardless of how these younger generations perished, there's no point in speculating here. After all, we can't personally enter the Guanghan Realm, so we can only wait for this trip to the Guanghan Realm to end. Fortunately, the five teams carrying the Xuan Tian Sacred Artifacts haven't encountered any problems yet, and haven't affected our clan's grand plan." The middle-aged beauty quickly regained her composure, but spoke coldly.

“That’s right. As long as those five teams are safe, even if we suffer great losses, this trip will be worthwhile. And our clan can also take this opportunity to prosper!” the middle-aged man said with a smile.

Upon hearing the middle-aged man's words, the other three exchanged glances and then burst into laughter.

Several more days passed, and the Cloud Palace Sacred Ship flew across most of the Guanghan Realm before finally stopping and disappearing.

Nie Zhaonan narrowed his eyes and looked ahead.

In the distance below, a white radiance, hundreds of feet in diameter, slowly swirled in the sandstorm.

Despite the howling wind, it remained completely still.

Furthermore, as soon as the wind and sand came into contact with this radiant light, they were instantly swallowed up and disappeared without a trace.

What's even more chilling is that around the white glow, piles of animal bones covered the ground.

Most of them were buried under yellow sand, but some exposed bones were charred and yellowed, their age unknown. Others, however, were as white as new, clearly the remains of ancient beasts that had only recently died.

"Yes, this is it. That white light barrier is the entrance." Nie Zhaonan withdrew his gaze and said softly, his voice not loud, but his tone revealing his excitement.

"A restriction?" Xin Ruyin looked over with a flicker of curiosity, her eyes flashing with blue light.

I could vaguely see countless slender, illusory figures within the white light, densely packed together.

These things appear extremely blurry, even under the spiritual eye, and seem completely transparent.

“This restriction is the ‘Taiyi Azure Light’, which was on par with the Primordial Magnetic Divine Light in ancient times! The ‘Taiyi Azure Light’ is known as the ‘Virtual Blade’ and is exceptionally sharp, and it seems to be true. Without a method to break the restriction, ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators would be unable to break through this continuous stream of Taiyi Azure Light.” Xin Ruyin’s eyes flashed, clearly recognizing the restriction here.

Seeing Xin Ruyin's eager expression, as if she wanted to try breaking the barrier, Nie Zhaonan suddenly flew out:

"We can break the barrier directly with force."

Although he knew that Xin Ruyin was quite skilled in array formations, it would still take her at least half a day to break the current restriction.

Half a day is but a blink of an eye for cultivators, but Nie Zhaonan couldn't wait any longer.

Xin Ruyin pouted, her cheeks puffed out, but she couldn't really make her husband and sisters wait for her to slowly break the taboo.

Arriving above the white glow, Nie Zhaonan spread his palms out.

With a muffled 'sizzle', a pale yellow wooden stick appeared in my hand.

It was the Xuan Tian Fruit.

Without pausing for a moment, Nie Zhaonan flicked his wrist and tossed the Xuan Tian Fruit into the air.

With a flash of silver light, the true dragon's image appeared behind him, and one of its claws simply moved to grab the Xuan Tian Fruit.

The silver light on its surface then surged into the Xuan Tian Fruit like flowing water, making the fruit instantly dazzling, and the dark green patterns on its surface turned a vibrant, lush green.

At the same time, Nie Zhaonan suddenly activated his magic technique.

Suddenly, countless five-colored light spots appeared all around, and they rushed towards the Xuan Tian Fruit like moths to a flame.

With a "whoosh," the Xuan Tian Fruit flashed with emerald light and suddenly shot out a three-foot-long, shimmering sword blade.

The blade was exceptionally bright green, with a smooth, mirror-like surface. However, at its center, a row of emerald-green runes was inscribed, their cold light shifting and changing.

The next moment, a flash of silver light appeared in the eyes of the true spirit dharma image behind Nie Zhaonan, and he swung down the emerald longsword in his claws.

Nie Zhaonan felt a tenth of his magical power surge out like a tide, and at the same time, the silver light on the surface of the True Dragon Dharma Image flowed and turned into streams of light that poured into the sword in his hand.

It should be noted that although it was only one-tenth of Nie Zhaonan's magical power, because his magical power was exceptionally dense, several times that of cultivators of the same level, and exceptionally pure, this one-tenth of his magical power was enough to be equivalent to the entire magical power of any ordinary mid-stage Integration cultivator.

Moreover, the originally gleaming silver dragon image suddenly dimmed by more than half.

The surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) suddenly surged violently, and countless five-colored runes appeared. As the Xuan Tian Zhan Ling Sword fell, it absorbed the surrounding天地元气 and then released it with a single strike.

Suddenly, a emerald green sword light flashed out, dazzling like a bolt of lightning from the heavens, instantly illuminating everything within a radius of several miles.

The white glow below could not block the sword light in the slightest, and it was instantly split in two.

The more than ten layers of restrictions that were surging forward were momentarily halted by the sword light, and then separated as if they were invisible.

The final layer of restrictions also appeared, revealing a giant scroll composed of a cyan light screen. The lush green mountains within the scroll were none other than the Taiyi Green Mountains, which had been refined into the painting, with a continuous stream of Taiyi cyan light shooting out from them.

At this moment, these seemingly sharp Taiyi azure lights silently dissipated and disappeared upon contact with the emerald green sword light.

The sword light fell with undiminished momentum, slicing across the scroll without any hindrance, as if it were an ordinary piece of paper.

After the restriction was broken, a huge hole immediately appeared in the void below, with a diameter of more than ten feet. It was strangely suspended in mid-air, and its edges emitted a faint milky white light.

It is clearly an entrance.

However, Nie Zhaonan's gaze only swept across the entrance before turning to look at something else.

It was after the scroll was torn open that a small, green mountain flew out from it.

Nie Zhaonan's expression shifted slightly, and he raised his arm to grab her.

With a mournful cry, the blue hillock's blue light flickered erratically as it tried desperately to resist the force of absorption.

But without the protection of the restriction, the cyan hill was ultimately just an ownerless object.

Nie Zhaonan snorted coldly, released his magic power, and forcibly took it into his hand, putting it away without even looking at it.

"The restriction has been broken, so we should hurry up and find the treasure inside. Once we find the infusion formation, we won't have to worry about anything in the Spirit Realm anymore, and we can roam freely in the surrounding realms as well." Nie Zhaonan smiled at the women, his tone revealing a hint of impatience.

However, to Nie Zhaonan's surprise, the women shook their heads slightly. Nie Zhaonan was slightly taken aback, and Nangong Wan explained with her red lips parted:

“Unlike our husband and sister Yue Li, who are very confident about breaking through the bottlenecks, even if we receive the infusion, our cultivation level will only increase by two or three minor levels. We have no hope of even breaking through the bottleneck of the Body Integration stage. It would be a real waste to use the immortal spiritual power in the immortal essence stone on us. After all, thanks to our husband, we don’t lack pills for our subsequent cultivation.”

“Wan’er is right. Even I am not confident that I can advance to the Fusion stage at this time. I still need some time to break through the bottleneck,” Bingfeng said softly.

“Moreover, the commotion caused by this infusion is likely to be significant, and there are quite a few high-level Void Refinement cultivators in the Guanghan Realm. Seeing such a commotion, they will probably all rush here. Let’s stay here to protect the Dharma. This way, my husband and Sister Yue Li can focus on their breakthrough inside without worry,” Wang Ning said with a smile.

Although Yuan Yao, Nie Ying, and the other women did not speak, their expressions conveyed the same meaning: they wanted to stay and protect the Dharma.

Before Nie Zhaonan could speak, Yue Li's clear voice rang out first:
“Since all of you sisters are staying here, I will stay here to protect you. There are at least one or two thousand cultivators entering this Guanghan Realm. If there are too many people, they may not be able to handle it.”

Yue Li was the last of Nie Zhaonan's Daoist partners to meet. Since Nangong Wan and the others were unwilling to share Nie Zhaonan's opportunities, she naturally couldn't do the same.

“Sister Yue Li, it’s not that we don’t want to go in, it’s just that the benefits of receiving the immortal spiritual power aren’t that great. But it’s different for you, sister. With this opportunity, you can advance to the Great Ascension stage in one go,” Yin Yue couldn’t help but persuade her.

"If you feel you've gotten a good deal, then make us more treasures in the future to compensate us."

"Excellent, excellent! I also want one of the Xuan Tian Treasures."

The other women also spoke up, offering sincere advice.

"But..." Feeling the kindness of her sisters, Yue Li was deeply moved, but this also made her even more hesitant.

"Don't say 'but' anymore. I need your help to advance to the Great Ascension stage. The higher your realm, the more useful you will be to me!" Nie Zhaonan wrapped his arm around Yue Li and pulled her tightly into his embrace.

Yue Li naturally knew what 'use' meant. Her cheeks flushed, she lowered her head slightly, and obediently stayed in Nie Zhaonan's arms without saying a word, silently agreeing.

Nie Zhaonan was naturally overjoyed, as he had long coveted Yue Li's primordial yin.

“However, what Yue’er said earlier is not without reason. In addition to cultivators from outside the Guanghan Realm, there are still quite a few ancient beasts at the Fusion level. You may not be able to handle them. How about this, you take the Gold-Devouring Insects with you. If the situation becomes uncontrollable, you can release all of them.”

Now, Nie Zhaonan no longer needs to care about the uproar caused by the exposure of hundreds of thousands of Gold-Eating Insects; his priority is advancing in rank.

As soon as he finished speaking, Nie Zhaonan flicked his sleeve, and more than ten spirit beast bracelets floated towards the women.

The women, their faces beaming with joy, accepted the gifts one by one, and exclaimed in unison:

"We will not let our husband down. Husband and Sister Yue Li can focus on your breakthrough."

"Mm." Nie Zhaonan nodded slightly. He had complete confidence in his woman.

Without hesitation, he embraced Yue Li's exquisite body and transformed into a silver streak, shooting towards the entrance below.

As soon as they entered, thick clusters of brilliant rays of light suddenly appeared all around them, sweeping over them.

With a thought, Nie Zhaonan's body flashed with silver light, and a layer of crystal light shield instantly protected him and Yue Li.

But the brilliant rays of light suddenly paused, then immediately condensed into runes of varying sizes, which slowly rotated around the two of them, forming a five-colored light array.

As soon as the light array hummed, spatial fluctuations appeared.

As the five-colored spiritual light of the light array was released, Nie Zhaonan felt the surrounding scenery blur slightly before disappearing into the light array.

The next moment, Nie Zhaonan opened his eyes and found himself on a high platform, with Yue Li beside him.

Every now and then a gentle breeze blows by, bringing with it the fragrance of grass, trees and flowers.

In the direction of the mountain peak ahead, there is a nearly straight mountain path leading directly to the summit.

The mountaintop was dazzlingly silvery, and there stood a colossal, purple palace that almost occupied the entire summit.

Seeing this, Yue Li didn't need Nie Zhaonan to say anything more; she already guessed that the treasure was in the palace on the mountaintop.

“There’s a strong anti-flying restriction here, so even ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators can’t fly too high. But with our strength, flying directly to the summit shouldn’t be a problem. Should we go straight up the mountain, or go somewhere else?” Yue Li glanced around again, asking Nie Zhaonan for his opinion.
