Mortal's Purple Sky Cave Heaven

Chapter 122 Black Spirit Fruit, Flying Swords Appear
In this case, doesn't it mean that he doesn't have to wait for the restriction, but can rely on this token to enter the giant mountain in advance and seize the spiritual object on the top of the mountain that can assist in condensing the Nascent Soul?

Thinking of this, Nie Zhaonan's heart also became hot. He put away the green jade slip in his hand, immediately flew into the air, and shot towards the center of the secret realm.

There are still five days left before the giant mountain ban is opened. Originally, Nie Zhaonan planned to search for more rare spiritual herbs and refining materials around this secret realm, but now there is no need to spend time on this. The spiritual objects in the center of the secret realm that can assist in the formation of the fetus are what he urgently needs to get his hands on.

Two days later, Nie Zhaonan, who had been traveling at full speed, finally arrived at the foot of the giant mountain.

This giant mountain is extremely huge, covering an area of ​​hundreds of miles and tens of thousands of feet high, reaching into the sky. From the middle of the mountain, it is covered by white clouds, and only the dark shadow of the giant mountain can be vaguely seen.

That's right, this giant mountain is very different from other mountains. Not only is it dark in color, but the entire mountain is made of rock. There is no soil at all, and there are no spiritual flowers or herbs growing on it, not even ordinary trees or vegetation.

His whole body was bare and lifeless.

The spiritual object that Nie Zhaonan was looking for that could assist in forming a baby - called the 'Black Spiritual Fruit' - grew on an ancient tree on the top of a giant mountain that looked like a tree but was not a tree at all, and was completely black.

Since who knows how many tens of thousands of years ago, when the secret realm of the Demon Abyss was opened, the dark ancient tree has been growing on the top of the giant mountain. No one can tell exactly how long the ancient tree has survived.

All we know is that this ancient tree will produce three fist-sized black fruits, also known as the 'Black Spirit Fruits', every 150 years, which is when the secret realm is opened.

The effect of this "Black Spirit Fruit" is extremely amazing. It can not only greatly increase the probability of a cultivator successfully condensing his Nascent Soul, but also has the effect of calming the soul and reducing the invasion of inner demons.

It also has unimaginable benefits for monsters advancing to the eighth stage - the transformation stage. As long as the monsters take this 'black spirit fruit' before going through the thunder tribulation, their resistance to thunder tribulation will be temporarily greatly improved. As long as the monsters take this spirit fruit and go through the transformation thunder tribulation, there will be almost no death.

It is conceivable that the effect of this "Black Spirit Fruit" on monsters is even greater than that on human cultivators.

In this way, this "Black Spirit Fruit" is an irresistible temptation to the seventh-level monster.

Every time the Demonic Abyss Secret Realm begins, there are monsters guarding the east, south, west and north sides of the giant mountain in advance, controlling the road up the mountain tightly and giving no chance for human monks to go up the mountain.

Because every time the restrictions around the giant mountain are opened, monsters and beasts will occupy the necessary places to go up the mountain in advance, and the number of monsters and beasts far exceeds that of human cultivators.

Under such disadvantages, in the competition for the 'Black Spirit Fruit', it is already a good outcome for a human cultivator to grab a 'Black Spirit Fruit'.

Most of the time, this "Black Spirit Fruit" would be eaten up by monsters and beasts, and human cultivators would not be able to get even one.

Some people may say that flying to the top of the giant mountain from other directions where there are no monsters guarding the mountain is a very simple task for a Jindan cultivator.
If you think so, you are oversimplifying the huge black mountain in front of you.

There are powerful no-fly restrictions around this huge black mountain. No trial-taker can take off into the air under the suppression of these restrictions.

Whether it is a monster or a cultivator, they have to walk up the mountain through the four paths: east, south, west, and north.

If you go up the mountain from other directions, not only will you be restricted by the no-fly zone, but you will also be under unimaginable pressure.

Even a seventh-level monster with an extremely strong body and immense power would find it difficult to walk under the suppression of this enormous force, let alone climb a mountain.

Therefore, the four paths up the mountain from the east, south, west and north are also the best choice for the trial-takers.

At a place more than ten miles away from the entrance, Nie Zhaonan used the ancient treasure of gauze clothing to hide his body and used his spiritual sense to carefully explore the situation of the mountain road in the north of the giant mountain.

After taking a closer look, Nie Zhaonan also felt a headache. Although he had known that there would be level seven monsters guarding this place through the information Ling Yulin gave him about the Demon Abyss Trial, he was still surprised to see so many level seven monsters.

There are actually fifteen of them!

There were two dragons, one white and one black. The aura of these two dragons was even stronger than the red and one blue dragons killed by Nie Zhaonan.

The two Suanni beasts are shaped like lions, and their bodies are covered with long, golden hair, which makes them look very imposing.

The two monsters had human heads, human bodies and fish tails. They looked very much like the legendary mermaids, but their faces were covered with tiny scales and there were tumorous protrusions on their foreheads, making them look very ugly.

The rest were a green turtle, a sea snake with purple light, a silver flying monster and some other strange-looking monsters.

With so many level seven monsters, and they are extremely powerful, they are more than enough to stop a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Even though he thought he was incredibly powerful, he couldn't easily deal with so many monsters. It would take at least half a day.

Moreover, this place is not far from the other three places guarded by monsters. According to the escape speed of these high-level monsters, they can arrive in no more than a quarter of an hour. At that time, if he is besieged by dozens of level seven monsters, he can only flee in panic.

However, he did have some trump cards. As long as he used the two sets of flying sword magic weapons he had carefully refined, set up two sword formations, and exerted all his strength, it was possible for him to quickly eliminate these fifteen level seven monsters.

Even if things are impossible at that time, with his strength he can retreat calmly and make plans later.

But before that, he still needed to recover the magic power consumed in the previous fighting and traveling.

Thinking of this, Nie Zhaonan's figure flashed and he entered the Zixiao Cave Heaven. He sat cross-legged on the cushion, took out a jade bottle, took out a pill that exuded a fragrant smell, opened his mouth, and swallowed it.

Then he closed his eyes slightly and began to refine the medicinal power of the elixir to restore his magic power. At the entrance, the six dragons, the lion and the mermaid monster were gathered on a huge rock, talking about something, while the green turtle, the purple sea snake and the silver bird were surrounding them, and they were obviously his confidants.

As for the rest, the strange-looking monsters were standing guard conscientiously, with their various eyes moving constantly, always paying attention to the situation around them, not daring to slack off for a moment.

"We have learned from the lesson of the last trial, when a 'Black Spirit Fruit' was snatched away by an extremely powerful human cultivator. Our three royal families have specially sent twice as many people. I think there won't be any more accidents when we get the three 'Black Spirit Fruits'." The black dragon said in a light tone, full of confidence.

If there were human cultivators here, they would find that this dragon could speak human language, and that the words he spoke were extremely clear, just like those of an ordinary human.

This is not surprising. For a spiritual beast like the Jiaolong that has a trace of true dragon blood, before transforming, except for its body still being a monster, its wisdom and intelligence are not inferior to humans at all. It is not surprising that it can speak human language.

"Hmph, you'd better be careful. If you can't bring all three 'Black Spirit Fruits' back to the tribe this time, the punishment you receive will definitely be very severe. I don't want to experience the baptism of thunder and lightning." A Suan Ni beast said in a muffled voice.

There was still a glimmer of fear in his eyes, as if he was recalling some bad scene.

The monsters present shuddered all over when they heard about the baptism of thunder and lightning. It was no wonder that they were so afraid. Naturally, thunder and lightning had a great inhibitory effect on monsters, especially when they were undergoing the thunder tribulation of transformation.

They had also seen the elders in the tribe going through the transformation thunder tribulation, with their skin and flesh torn apart and blood flying everywhere.

"Brother Suanni, more"

A mermaid was speaking, but before she could finish her words, something strange happened!
Not far from the entrance, a young man wearing a green robe and with an ordinary appearance suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

It was Nie Zhaonan who had dressed up using magic.

He flicked his sleeves, and seventy-three flying swords flew out from each cuff, forming two sword dragons, one golden and one green. They made bursts of sword sounds, and shot out towards the nine monsters that were talking beside the stone and the strange-looking monsters that were standing guard, continuously emitting extremely dazzling sword lights, and in a blink of an eye, there were more than hundreds of them, densely covering the air, and slashing straight towards the fifteen level seven monsters.

At the same time, the magic formulas in Nie Zhaonan's hands kept changing, and he was casting spells so quickly that blurry afterimages appeared, and he was chanting the magic formulas non-stop.

Seeing that Nie Zhaonan's attack was so powerful, these monsters did not dare to be careless. They all used their magical powers or the sharp weapons on their bodies to block the sword attacks.

The two dragons opened their mouths and two streams of water, one white and one black, spurted out from their mouths. The black water stream also carried a corrosive force. As soon as the golden sword light touched the black water, it became incomplete. The two water streams swept away the golden sword light in front.

The Suanni beast was much more violent. It raised the red-gold claws in its hands and swung forward without hesitation. Immediately, several red-gold claws flew towards the golden sword light. As soon as the two came into contact, there was a dull impact sound of "bang bang bang", and then they disappeared like ice and snow melting.

The green turtle used its shell as a shield to block the two mermaids. The golden sword light fell on the turtle shell, leaving only a faint white mark before it dissipated and disappeared.

The mermaid monster who was speaking earlier and was interrupted by Nie Zhaonan glanced at his subordinates who were attacked by the green sword light. Seeing these strange-looking monsters using their unique magical powers and weapons to block the green sword light, an anthropomorphic smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"This human cultivator is only strong on the outside but weak on the inside. It is indeed a bit unexpected that he has refined more than a hundred flying swords. But as far as I know, the flying swords refined by human cultivators rely on their own true essence to exert their great power."

"It is an extremely stupid idea for this human cultivator to refine so many flying swords. It is also a ridiculous and flashy thing. These sword lights don't have much power at all and can be easily destroyed by one blow." This mermaid monster seemed to have a deep understanding of humans, and his analysis was very logical.

The monster, which was originally a little panicked, immediately calmed down after hearing the mermaid's words and was no longer so flustered.

But how could Nie Zhaonan's flying sword be considered as an ordinary cultivator's magic weapon? Not only was he practicing the Taiyi Divine Thunder Art, a technique inherited from the Zixiao Cave Heaven, the raw materials for refining these two sets of magic weapons were not something that ordinary people could gather. At this time, he was only emitting sword light to attack just to confuse these monsters.

In the moment when these monsters were attracted by the sword light, the seventy-three golden flying swords arrived at their predetermined positions, surrounded the nine monsters beside the stone, and then stood still.

At first glance, the arrangement of these golden flying swords was extremely messy, either up or down, left or right, with no one-to-one correspondence or neat arrangement. The only sword that had a little pattern was the three-foot-long main sword, standing in the center of all the golden small swords.

If you look closely, you can find that the pattern outlined by these seventy-three golden flying swords reveals an extremely ancient and vicissitudes of life, but upon closer inspection you will find that it does not make sense.

On the other side, the seventy-three green flying swords that surrounded the monsters on guard were also stationary in the air.

At this time, the mermaid who had just finished speaking saw the flying swords around him, his face changed again, and he shouted loudly: "Everyone be careful, this seems to be a sword formation!"

"I have read in a book that dozens or even hundreds of human monks, with the cooperation of each other, can temporarily set up a sword formation similar to a battle array, which is extremely powerful. Although I don't know how this human in front of me can set up two sword formations by himself, I think the power is not small!"

Hearing this, all the monsters present had a solemn look on their faces.
Nie Zhaonan also understood that this mermaid seemed to be serving as a military advisor among these monsters.

But it doesn’t matter. Now that the sword formation has been set up, these fifteen monsters are trapped in his jar.

All this seems long, but in fact, from Nie Zhaonan's appearance, to the sword light shooting, the monster's resistance, and finally the flying sword stagnating in the air, this series of actions was completed in just the blink of an eye.

At the moment when the flying sword stopped, the sound of Nie Zhaonan chanting the magic spell and the constantly changing magic spells in his hands stopped at the same time.

An incredible scene appeared. One hundred and forty-six flying swords rang out in unison. "Swish!" It was as if sword energy cut through the sky. The flying swords suddenly shone with spiritual light, but they did not launch a sword attack like before. Instead, they disappeared without a trace!
The 'Gengjin Divine Thunder Sword Formation' and the 'Taiyi Divine Thunder Sword Formation' were completed and successfully deployed.
