Mortal's Purple Sky Cave Heaven

Chapter 140: Deputy Palace Master, Amazing Skills

Seeing that Nie Zhaonan's aura was unusually steady, without any leakage, the Star Palace elders present all stopped looking down on him.

Generally speaking, when a cultivator has just broken through and entered a new realm, he is unable to perfectly control his aura for a moment, which causes his aura to fluctuate significantly.

What's more, they have just condensed their Nascent Soul. After condensing their Nascent Soul, these Star Palace elders would never be able to completely absorb their own aura within their bodies within just a few days.

From this, it can be seen that this deputy palace master is not a simple person.

Elder Ma in purple robe was not surprised by Nie Zhaonan's performance. It was obvious that someone who was appointed as deputy palace master had some means.

"However, these methods are of no use in the face of the huge gap in realm." Elder Ma thought confidently.

Looking at the twenty-odd Nascent Soul cultivators below, among whom there were three in the middle Nascent Soul stage, and they were not all the Nascent Soul elders of the Star Palace, Nie Zhaonan also intuitively felt the power of the Star Palace. At least in Tiannan, no sect could be compared with it.

Seeing Nie Zhaonan sitting down, Wen Qing nodded slightly to Elder Zhao.

The white-haired Elder Zhao, who was sitting in the front, immediately stood up and extended his hand to Nie Zhaonan, who was sitting casually, and introduced him in a leisurely tone: "This fellow Daoist Nie will be the deputy palace master of our Xing Palace from now on!"

"Does anyone have any objections?" Elder Zhao asked this last question and turned around to look around.

Seeing that the elders present were all silent, Elder Zhao was about to make a statement when he was interrupted by the purple-robed Elder Ma opposite him.

Elder Ma stood up and spoke in a rough voice with a hint of disdain: "This Fellow Daoist Nie is indeed different from the average Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator, but his cultivation is still a little lacking to be the deputy palace master."

"I hope the two saints can reconsider this carefully." When he said the last sentence, he bowed to the two saints.

He also knew the difference between the important and the unimportant. The object of his dissatisfaction was only Nie Zhaonan, not the two great cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage.

“Elder Ma is right, and Fellow Daoist Nie has only just joined the Star Palace. It is indeed inappropriate for him to hold such an important position.” An elder of the Star Palace who had a good relationship with Elder Ma also stood up and advised.

"Fellow Daoist Nie has joined our Star Palace. With his Nascent Soul stage cultivation, there is nothing wrong with him taking on the position of elder." Another Star Palace elder also stood up and suggested.

The other Star Palace elders who were still sitting in their seats cast inquiring glances at each other, but did not say anything else. They only wanted to be spectators.

They could also roughly guess the reason why Elder Ma was so active. It was nothing more than that the Twin Saints had thrown out the position of "Deputy Palace Master", and he had great hopes of occupying it, and his status would soar from then on.

Elder Zhao mourned for Elder Ma in his heart for a few seconds, and felt like watching the show.

To be honest, although he had a general understanding of Nie Zhaonan's strength, which was not inferior to that of ordinary late Nascent Soul cultivators, he had never seen him take action with his own eyes, so he was naturally very curious!
After all, he is the first person who, with the cultivation level of the early Nascent Soul stage, has the strength comparable to that of a great cultivator in the late stage!

Wen Qing and Ling Tianlei did not seem angry or furious at all because of the doubts raised by several people.

"Palace Master Nie, how about having a sparring match with Elder Ma?" Wen Qing looked at Nie Zhaonan, slightly opened her red lips, and spoke in a calm tone.

"Of course." Nie Zhaonan replied indifferently, as if he didn't take Elder Ma seriously at all.

"Please teach me, Palace Master Nie!" Elder Ma flew up and landed in the center of the hall, making a dull thud and stirring up a strong wind.

Even Palace Master Wen Qing addressed Nie Zhaonan as Palace Master. Elder Ma was not ignorant of the times and changed his title as well.

Elder Ma stared closely at Nie Zhaonan's every move with a sharp gaze, and fought with full vigilance, not daring to be careless in the slightest, for fear that Nie Zhaonan had some special means or supernatural power to defeat the enemy with one move.

Nie Zhaonan didn't move at all, still sitting in his position like a stabilizing force, with his right hand brushing towards his waist.

A wooden flying sword was held in his hand.

"Top-level magical weapon!" The pupils of everyone present shrank.

Wen Qing and Ling Tianlei were also very surprised.

Although the flying sword in front of him was a rare treasure among the top-level magical weapons, it was also surrounded by wind and thunder, and its momentum was extraordinary, which was absolutely incomparable to other magical weapons.

But it is just a magic weapon after all. I am afraid that even the protective energy shield condensed casually by a Nascent Soul cultivator cannot break through it.

Elder Ma looked at the top-level magic weapon in Nie Zhaonan's hand, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes. He actually looked down on him so much.

He secretly made up his mind that he would beat this arrogant guy in front of him into a mess later and see if he still had the face to stay in Xing Palace.

The white-haired Elder Zhao wanted to say something kindly, but seeing Nie Zhaonan's indifferent expression, he didn't dare to say anything.

This flying sword was made by him using three thousand years old wind-thunder cedar, and was intended for single use.

With so many Nascent Soul cultivators present, it is not appropriate to summon magic weapons. And if it is just a simple competition, the flying swords in their hands are enough.

Suddenly, the magic power in Nie Zhaonan's hands surged, and a stream of white magic power visible to the naked eye was injected into the flying sword.

Dense lightning flashes immediately appeared on the sword, dazzling and extremely bright. The arcs of electricity also bounced with a 'sizzling' sound, and there was also a slight 'swishing' sound of wind.

Looking at the terrifying flying sword, Elder Ma had a bad feeling in his heart.

"This is the Thunder Spirit Sword Technique. Elder Ma, please be careful." Nie Zhaonan reminded.

Realizing that the flying sword in his hand could no longer contain any more of his magic power, Nie Zhaonan spread out his palms and shouted, "Zheng!" The flying sword made a clear sound and flew towards Elder Ma in the hall at an astonishing speed.

Then there was a sharp explosion.

Seeing the white sword light coming from the front with a terrifyingly high spiritual pressure, Elder Ma immediately gave up his original plan to catch the flying sword with his hands.

He opened his mouth and spit out a palm-sized yellow shield that floated in front of him. It was his life-saving magic weapon, the Citrine Shield.

This yellow crystal shield was made from a variety of rare earth-attributed materials. After hundreds of years of cultivation, its defensive power was already very amazing, and it had no problem blocking the flying sword in front.

The yellow crystal shield swelled in the wind, becoming two meters in size, blocking Elder Ma.

By taking out the magic weapon, he had already lost, so the burly Elder Ma did not inject any more magic power into the magic weapon to stimulate its power. Instead, he planned to use the yellow crystal shield to block the attack and then compete with Nie Zhaonan again.

The flying sword was so fast that the next moment, the sound of metal colliding was heard, and the flying sword hit the surface of the yellow crystal shield. While white lightning flashed, red sparks flew everywhere.

Elder Ma, who had been paying attention to the flying sword, cried out inwardly after the flying sword hit the yellow crystal shield: Not good!

It was because he saw a half-inch deep sword mark on the surface of the yellow crystal shield, where the flying sword was inserted. Although the sword mark seemed very inconspicuous in front of the huge body of the yellow crystal shield, the flying sword had no sign of exhaustion, and the spiritual energy fluctuations were still very strong.

He could foresee that if he did not inject more mana into the magic weapon, the yellow crystal shield would definitely be more seriously damaged. With a determined heart, Elder Ma moved the magic formula in his hand without hesitation, and a stream of yellow mana was injected into the yellow crystal shield in front of him.

As soon as the magic power was injected, the yellow crystal shield immediately became more spiritual, and a thick layer of spiritual light immediately appeared on the surface. In an instant, a thick yellow light curtain was formed, which forced the flying sword out of the sword mark.

Seeing this scene, Nie Zhaonan's expression remained unchanged, and he silently said in his heart: "Hurry!"

The flying sword suddenly burst into an extremely dazzling light, and some Nascent Soul cultivators present closed their eyes unconsciously due to the sudden white light.

Then, there was a loud 'bang' and a yellow object the size of a walnut flew out and landed on the ground with a crisp 'da da da' sound.

The Nascent Soul cultivators present took a closer look and saw that a fist-sized gap had appeared on the yellow light curtain, and even a walnut-sized gap appeared on the yellow crystal shield.

As for the flying sword, it disappeared without a trace, and it was obvious that it had evaporated in the previous collision.

However, the people present did not dare to underestimate the power of the flying sword. After all, the yellow crystal shield, which was famous for its defense, was hit with a hole, and they could not take the attack intact.

Looking at the piece of magic weapon fragment that was still spinning at high speed on the ground, these Nascent Soul cultivators labeled the Deputy Palace Master Nie Zhaonan as someone who should not be provoked.

Without even using his magic weapon, he has already forced Elder Ma into such a situation. You can imagine how strong he is.

No wonder the Twin Saints made an exception for this person and added the position of Deputy Palace Master.

You know, since the founding of the Star Palace, it has always been the practice that two palace masters, one male and one female, are in charge of the Star Palace, but there has never been a situation where three palace masters coexist.

Elder Ma's blood rushed to his head as his life-saving magic weapon was damaged. However, because the magic weapon was not seriously damaged, he recovered to normal in the blink of an eye.

Elder Ma waved his sleeves at the yellow crystal shield in front of him, and the yellow crystal shield immediately shrank back to the size of a palm and flew into his sleeves.

He opened his hand and sucked the magic weapon fragments on the ground, took them into his hand, and then put them into the storage bag.

Then he respectfully clasped his fists towards Nie Zhaonan and said, "Palace Master Nie's magical powers are amazing. I am convinced."

As he said this, Elder Ma's face felt hot and he was extremely distressed.

Not only did he fail to achieve his goal, but his magic weapon was damaged. It would take years of training to restore it to its original state.

“Greetings, Palace Master Nie!” The two Star Palace elders who had stood up earlier to support Elder Ma also immediately bowed respectfully.

The two of them were extremely worried and afraid that Palace Master Nie would remember their disrespectful behavior.

"Greetings, Palace Master Nie!" The other Nascent Soul cultivators present also stood up and saluted.

From this moment on, they also expressed their recognition of Nie Zhaonan in terms of strength and status.

"There's no need to be so polite, elders." Nie Zhaonan also stood up from his seat and waved gently to everyone.

Having already achieved the effect of establishing his authority, Nie Zhaonan will no longer put on airs.

Although he is not very interested in power, now that he is in this position, he does not want his subordinates to be hypocritical and do tricks behind his back.

With this seemingly casual flick, they felt firsthand how amazing the strength of Palace Master Nie was.

"Elders, please take a seat."

As Nie Zhaonan finished speaking, the Xinggong elders present returned to their seats.

Wen Qing was very satisfied with Nie Zhaonan's performance and continued:
"Okay, since everyone has no objection to Fellow Daoist Nie taking on the position of Palace Master, let's talk about holding a celebration for Palace Master Nie."

It was a big deal for the entire Xing Palace that Nie Zhaonan, who was so powerful, joined the Xing Palace and served as its deputy palace master, so it naturally had to be celebrated with great fanfare.

The Xinggong elders present all nodded in approval, but Nie Zhaonan shook his head slightly and refused:

"I don't like to show off, how about we just stop the celebration?" After saying that, he turned his gaze to Wen Qing and Ling Tianlei above.

Most of the people present did not look too surprised when they heard this.

When attending this party, they also got to know Nie Zhaonan through various sources of information.

I also know that this person is a very low-key ascetic monk who doesn't like to show up in public.

Otherwise, he would not have been so unknown when he was in the Jindan stage.

Even the title of the number one person below the Nascent Soul stage was taken by Wen Tianren.

Ling Tianlei said calmly: "Everything depends on Palace Master Nie's wishes."

In fact, he and Wen Qing did not want to hold a grand ceremony and expose Nie Zhaonan to the vision of the major forces in Chaos Star Sea so quickly.

In this way, when dealing with Liudao and Wan Sangu in the future, the combat power of Nie Zhaonan, a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, can unexpectedly play a greater role.

"Now, let's exchange our cultivation experiences. Elders present, please feel free to ask any questions you have."

With so many Nascent Soul cultivators gathered together, it was natural for them to exchange their cultivation experiences. This was also one of the benefits of being an elder of the Star Palace, as one had the opportunity to receive personal instruction from two great Nascent Soul late-stage cultivators.

Nie Zhaonan was naturally standing nearby, listening quietly.

Except for Nie Zhaonan, all the Star Palace elders present were old monsters who had lived for hundreds of years. Even if they were not as powerful as Nie Zhaonan, they were still superior in terms of knowledge and cultivation experience.

Nie Zhaonan nodded secretly as he listened from the side. By analogy, he also gained a lot of insights and realizations.

Afterwards, Nie Zhaonan naturally also explained his experience in practicing thunder-attributed skills and some insights on breaking through bottlenecks.

It made the people present's eyes light up.

After most of the day, all the Star Palace elders present left with satisfaction, as if they had gained a lot.

In the entire hall, there were only three palace masters left: Wen Qing, Ling Tianlei and Nie Zhaonan.
