Mortal's Purple Sky Cave Heaven

Chapter 117: Gauze Ancient Treasure, Demonic Abyss Trial (Additional Update)

A green flying sword, a small red flag with a glowing red light, a small white and crystal tower, and a small silver bell.
These seven items are of different styles and have greatly varying powers. The most powerful one is naturally the crystal little tower that has been nurtured by the skinny old man for hundreds of years.

The value of these seven magic weapons can easily be sold for six or seven hundred thousand spirit stones.

However, Nie Zhaonan will not sell it in the Chaos Star Sea, and plans to deal with it after returning to Tiannan.

The hidden ancient treasure that the skinny old man mentioned, which could avoid the detection of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators, was also found by Nie Zhaonan.

This is a transparent gauze dress made by an ancient monk using unknown materials. Upon closer inspection, there is nothing surprising about it.

Nie Zhaonan was not surprised. This ancient treasure had not been activated yet, so it was normal that it did not show any power.

After figuring it out, Nie Zhaonan grabbed the transparent gauze in his hand. Relying on his powerful spiritual awareness and magic power, he refined the gauze in an instant and imprinted his own mark on it.

Then he covered it on one of his hands and injected a stream of magic power into it.

An incredible scene happened. The moment the ancient treasure of Gauze Clothes was activated by magic power, it disappeared out of thin air, and Nie Zhaonan's covered hand also disappeared without a trace on the spot.

With his powerful spiritual sense, he scanned carefully and detected a faint fluctuation of spiritual power from the place where the ancient gauze treasure disappeared. It was so weak that it was difficult to attract the attention of the cultivators.

Seeing this, Nie Zhaonan smiled and praised: "It is indeed a rare hidden ancient treasure."

Then he put it into the storage bag around his waist.

Next, Nie Zhaonan found the fist-sized purple bead ancient treasure, refined it quickly, and also put it into the storage bag around his waist.

This purple bead had extraordinary defensive power. The light shield condensed from it could actually temporarily block the attack of the extremely sharp Gengjin Divine Thunder Sword, making up for Nie Zhaonan's lack of defensive treasures.

After placing the other spirit stone materials in the attic one by one.

Nie Zhaonan appeared in the secret retreat room in the cave in a flash.

Sitting cross-legged on a cushion, Nie Zhaonan had the Bi Bo Ding placed in front of him.

It is not difficult to see from this scene that Nie Zhaonan naturally intends to start routinely refining pills to increase his magic power.

After calming his mind, Nie Zhaonan took out the demon pill and auxiliary spiritual medicine and began to refine the pill.

Because of this monster hunting, Nie Zhaonan only hunted level six and seven monsters and did not spend time on level five monsters that were useless to him. Therefore, Nie Zhaonan hunted many level six and seven monsters this time, and the number of level six and seven monster pills he harvested was also astonishing.

Nie Zhaonan did not plan to refine all the demon cores into pills, but instead selected some rare sixth and seventh level demon beast inner cores and collected them for later use.

Time flies, and two years have passed in a flash.

At this time, in the secret room, Nie Zhaonan put the last batch of pills he had refined into a jade bottle.

After continuously refining pills, even Nie Zhaonan felt a little exhausted, so he meditated and rested for most of the day.

Nie Zhaonan just started taking the elixir, using the huge medicinal power to assist in the practice of the eighth level of Taiyi Divine Thunder Art.

Another eight years later, the door to the secret room in the cave was finally opened.

During this practice, Nie Zhaonan's cultivation successfully broke through to the late stage of Jindan.

As for why he came out of seclusion now and did not cultivate to the peak of Jindan in one go, it was naturally not because he did not have enough elixirs, but because the trial of the Demon Abyss was about to begin.

The reason why there are so many high-level cultivators in the Chaos Star Sea is not only because of the abundant monster resources here, but also because of the existence of some secret realms in the Chaos Star Sea.

Apart from the most famous Xutian Palace, which opens once every three hundred years, the most important one is the Trial of the Demon Abyss.

The Trial of the Demonic Abyss is related to a secret realm left over from the ancient times in the Chaos Star Sea. It is named so because the secret realm is located in a sea area called the Demonic Abyss Sea.

Moreover, there are many rare materials and elixirs in this secret realm, and there are also natural treasures that are of great help in condensing the Nascent Soul.

Nie Zhaonan chose to participate in the Demonic Abyss Trial in order to find the rare treasures to condense his Nascent Soul.

Although Nie Zhaonan could increase his chances of condensing Nascent Soul by 30% as long as he practiced Taiyi Divine Thunder Art to the ninth level, he also had the assistance of Nascent Soul stage consciousness, the improvement of his cultivation aptitude by Bu Tian Dan, and the help of Yuan Yao's 'Heavenly Yin Body's' Yuan Yin power.

All in all, Nie Zhaonan had a success rate of over 50% in condensing his Nascent Soul.

But after all, it is a major hurdle in the path of cultivation. If you are not careful, you may die or perish. Since ancient times, countless cultivators have failed at this stage.

Nie Zhaonan naturally did not want to repeat the mistakes of these people. He wanted to be safe and then find a spiritual object to assist in forming a baby before proceeding with the process of forming a baby.

Participating in the Demonic Abyss Trial naturally became Nie Zhaonan's best choice in his search for a spiritual object to form a baby. Moreover, with his strength, no one in the Demonic Abyss would be his opponent. As long as he was careful, there would be almost no accidents.

This trial can only be opened once every 150 years. Because there are special and powerful restrictions in the secret realm that limit the level of cultivation, only cultivators who have reached the Jindan stage can participate.

Not only cultivators, but also high-level monsters from the Chaos Star Sea can participate in this trial.

Because to enter the secret realm of the Demonic Abyss Sea, one needs to use the associated teleportation array, and there are only four teleportation arrays, which are controlled by four forces respectively: the Star Palace, the Righteous Path, the Demonic Path, and the high-level monsters in the outer star sea.

Under such circumstances, a casual cultivator naturally has no chance of entering this secret realm.

But Nie Zhaonan knew the young master of Xinggong and they had a pretty good relationship. With a little manipulation, there would naturally be no problem in letting Nie Zhaonan participate in this trial.

Time passed quickly, and a month later, Nie Zhaonan and Nie Ying appeared in a secret square in Tianxing City.

In the center of the square, stands an ancient magic circle, which is the teleportation circle that can send monks into the secret realm of the Demon Abyss.

Around Nie Zhaonan and his group, there were thirty or forty Jindan cultivators, most of whom were wearing the white clothing of the Star Palace.

Only a few people were wearing other clothes. Obviously, these people were the elders of some forces that had close relations with the Star Palace. Otherwise, they would not be qualified to participate in the Demon Abyss Trial with the help of the Star Palace's teleportation array.

However, the cultivation base of these Jindan cultivators are all strong, all of them are above the middle Jindan stage. More than ten of them are in the late Jindan stage, and there are two or three of them whose aura has faintly reached the level of false infants.

This is also the case. The cultivators participating in the Demonic Abyss Trial come from all four forces. If they are not strong enough, they can only become cannon fodder.

Suddenly, Nie Ying, who was looking at the crowd, saw something and his expression changed slightly. He was stunned for a while and then regained his composure.

Nie Ying stretched out her hands and hugged Nie Zhaonan's arms. She whispered in Nie Zhaonan's ear intimately, "Husband, the gray-haired old man on the left side of the square and the tall and thin middle-aged man next to him are the Xinggong monks who want to take over our Treasure Pavilion while you are away."

There was some resentment in Nie Ying's voice transmission.

Then she reminded him with concern: "Husband, please be careful and don't let these two people plot against you!"

Although she knew that her husband was incredibly powerful, she could not prevent him from being plotted against by villains, so she spoke out to warn him.

Nie Zhaonan glanced at the place Nie Ying mentioned from the corner of his eyes, and saw three Xinggong monks who seemed to have a good relationship and were chatting together. The extra person was also an old man, but his hair was gray, but his cultivation was not weak.

Nie Zhaonan saw that his aura was steady and it was obvious that he had entered the late stage of Jindan for a long time.

The other two were the people Nie Ying mentioned. The gray-haired old man was also in the late Jindan stage, while the tall and thin middle-aged man was in the middle stage.

The cultivation base of both of them is quite strong, no wonder they dare to act like this in Tianxing City.

Suddenly, Nie Zhaonan's eyes turned slightly cold, because the tall and thin middle-aged monk's eyes revealed lustful intent when he looked at this side from time to time.

However, the coldness in Nie Zhaonan's eyes was only fleeting, and his face immediately returned to a calm expression.

"I'll be careful." Nie Zhaonan replied in a faint voice.

At this time, a slightly old voice came from behind: "It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Nie. Are you here to participate in the Demon Abyss Trial?"

Nie Zhaonan looked back and saw that it was Zhong Wuchang, Fellow Daoist Zhong, who was stationed in the Sutra Repository.

Nie Ying also retreated to Nie Zhaonan's side at the right time.

"Oh, so fellow Daoist has already advanced to the middle stage of Jindan. No wonder you made such a decision." Zhong Wuchang noticed the aura emanating from Nie Zhaonan and answered himself.

Naturally, Nie Zhaonan habitually used the secret technique of "magic clone" to hide his true cultivation level of the late Jindan stage.

"This kind of event is rare and we certainly can't miss it." Nie Zhaonan said affirmatively.

Then he asked back, "Does Brother Zhong also want to participate in the trial?"

"Alas! How difficult it will be to practice in the future. If I practice blindly, by the time I reach the False Infant realm, my life span will be almost over."

"Taking advantage of this opportunity, I naturally want to try again and see if there is any hope." Zhong Wuchang glanced at the monks present and said helplessly.

Nie Zhaonan nodded. Judging from the aura emanating from this fellow Daoist Zhong, he only had seventy to eighty years of life left.

Even if he cultivated to the false infant realm in the remaining life span, he would not have extra time to search for the spiritual object to form an infant. The final outcome was naturally self-evident.

"But I didn't expect that Brother Daoist Nie, who is so young, would participate in this trial. This is quite surprising to me."

After a pause, Zhong Wuchang continued with some worry: "You know, this Demonic Abyss Trial is extremely dangerous. Not only are there demonic monks who kill people and steal treasures in it."

"There are also three royal families of Chaos Star Sea monsters participating, including the Jiaolong, Suanni and other races with special bloodlines. Before they transformed, they had wisdom that was not inferior to our cultivators, and their strength was even higher than that of ordinary cultivators in the late Jindan stage!"

His words revealed that even he was not sure he could escape unscathed from this trial.

"Although I am not strong, I am quite confident in my ability to save my life." Nie Zhaonan said unmoved by Zhong Wuchang's words.

Seeing Nie Zhaonan so confident, Zhong Wuchang didn't want to say much.

The reason he said so much was simply because Fellow Daoist Nie had a good relationship with his daughter's lover.

While talking with Zhong Wuchang, Nie Zhaonan was also observing the situation here all the time, but he did not see Ling Yulin after searching for a long time.

But after thinking about it for a moment, Nie Zhaonan understood.

Ling Yuling has a special identity, so it is naturally not suitable for her to appear in occasions with so many high-level cultivators.

Not long after Nie Zhaonan and Zhong Wuchang finished their conversation.

Suddenly, three figures flew over the square and then slowly descended.

"Everyone please be quiet!" a voice reminded.

The leader was a kind-looking old man in white. When they saw this old man, the expressions of all the Jindan cultivators changed, and they became quiet and stopped talking.

A Nascent Soul cultivator!
Surprisingly, he was the person in charge of this Demonic Abyss Trial.

"My fellow Daoists, the Demonic Abyss Trial is about to begin. Those who wish to participate in the trial may come and receive a teleportation talisman now." The Nascent Soul cultivator looked at the cultivators in the field and said indifferently.

Since all the people here are cultivators related to the Star Palace, there is naturally no need to collect spirit stones required for teleportation.

Upon hearing this, none of the Jindan cultivators in the field retreated.

Except that Nie Ying came to see Nie Zhaonan off and not to participate in the trial, she looked at Nie Zhaonan and left the square.

Everyone else stepped forward and received a teleportation talisman from the Jindan cultivator who was following the old man in white, and Nie Zhaonan was no exception.

Seeing that all the cultivators in the field had received the teleportation talisman, the white-haired old man explained calmly: "The teleportation array can teleport three people at a time, and they will be randomly teleported to a location in the secret realm."

As soon as the white-haired old man finished speaking, another Jindan cultivator beside him immediately came to the teleportation array and embedded a dozen mid-level spirit stones on it.

"Let's start teleporting now!" The white-haired old man waved his hand gently.

The Star Palace monks, who had already formed a team, walked into the teleportation array in an orderly manner. Amidst flashes of white light, they were teleported into the secret realm.

Zhong Wuchang also said goodbye and teleported away with his companions.

Not long after, Nie Zhaonan also teleported away with two unknown Jindan cultivators.

In the blink of an eye, a white light flashed before his eyes. When Nie Zhaonan opened his eyes again, he found himself standing in mid-air. Under his feet was an extremely wide land with no end in sight.

On the ground, the mountains are undulating, continuous and towering into the clouds. Lush forests cover the mountains. Not far away there are plains, lakes and other landforms.

Obviously, this place is within the secret realm of the Demonic Abyss.

Not far from Nie Zhaonan, there were two people who were teleported here together.

One of them opened his mouth and invited: "Fellow Daoist, this place is very dangerous, why don't we go together?"

"No need."

Nie Zhaonan answered indifferently, then rode a beam of white light towards the center of the land.
