Mortal's Purple Sky Cave Heaven

Chapter 152: Imprisoned Spiritual Veins, Great Desert Island
A few years ago, Wen Qing and Ling Tianlei gave up practicing the Yuanci Divine Light technique at the reminder of Nie Zhaonan. At the same time, they used some secret techniques and after spending several years, they successfully severed their connection with Yuanci Mountain. They would no longer be affected by Yuanci Mountain, which had trapped them near the holy mountain, and could go out freely.

However, both of them knew that this series of actions were tests by the Anti-Star Alliance in order to see Xinggong's reaction, so they thought of playing along with them, and Xinggong did not react at all, pretending not to know.

Wait for a good opportunity to calm the turmoil in the Chaos Star Sea with one battle.

As time went on, people in the entire Chaos Star Sea became more and more panicked.

On the other hand, because of Nie Zhaonan's intervention and Wang Ziyun's obedience to advice, the Miaoyin Sect moved to an island near Tianxing City, so there was no loss of manpower or theft of goods.

However, as the situation was a bit tense, Miaoyin Sect also suspended its business activities of selling magical instruments and treasures on the islands under the jurisdiction of Xinggong. All disciples stayed inside the sect and did not go out.

Nie Zhaonan didn't care much about it. After another year of seclusion, he had successfully advanced to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul and his strength had greatly increased.

Even if he had to face Liudao and Wan Sangu, two long-established late-stage great monks, alone, he would not be afraid of anything. Instead, he would have a great chance of killing them both.

But he would not rush to find the two of them and do such a thankless task.

He was only showing the cultivation of the early Nascent Soul stage, and no one knew that he had broken through to the middle Nascent Soul stage. After all, it only took him 20 to 30 years to break through a realm, which was really too shocking.

He still understood the principle that a man is innocent until he is found guilty of possessing a treasure.

To put it bluntly, if Wen Qing and Ling Tianlei knew that he had made such a quick breakthrough, they would feel uneasy and would come up with some bad ideas towards him, which was something Nie Zhaonan did not want to see.

On the other hand, there would be no substantial benefit in exposing his cultivation now. Instead, it would bring some hidden dangers. It would be better for him to hide his cultivation and accumulate strength quietly.

In an unknown sea area of ​​the alien ocean, on a narrow island two miles long and half a mile wide, an uninvited guest arrived today.

Nie Zhaonan landed on the mountain in the center of the island. His eyes flashed as he scanned the surroundings and continued to explore something with his spiritual sense.

Although the spiritual energy on this small island is not abundant, there is a small spiritual vein at the peak of the mountain, which is enough for some small sects to gain a foothold here.

However, this place is located in the outer sea, with many high-level monsters, and is very dangerous. It is not a suitable base for a small force to establish itself.

The spiritual vein on this small island has become a very useless thing, but it is of great use to Nie Zhaonan.

There is a lack of spiritual veins in the Zixiao Cave Heaven. He came to this alien sea just for the spiritual veins under his feet.

After a while, Nie Zhaonan used his powerful spiritual sense to carefully scan the entire island and found no other monsters or cultivators. He then used his spiritual sense to explore the area within a radius of hundreds of miles to make sure that no one was hiding in the dark.

Nie Zhaonan immediately made some hand gestures and muttered something. In a blink of an eye, dozens of spells of different colors were cast into the mountain and its surroundings.

"Get up!" Nie Zhaonan shouted softly.

Following the sound, the mountain beneath my feet began to shake violently.

"Rumble"

Rocks continued to roll down, and cracks appeared on the mountain, rolling outwards as if something was about to rush out from inside.

Nie Zhaonan's hands did not stop for a moment, and he continued to cast spells, muttering to himself, chanting some ancient spell.

With a loud "bang", the entire mountain exploded, and dust and debris immediately rushed into the sky. The trees and vegetation originally growing on the mountain were also pulled up and flew into the sky under the powerful impact force.

Nie Zhaonan's figure also moved, rising into the air, and at the same time, he waved his sleeves to disperse the flying dust in the sky.

A rhizome-like object appeared in front of Nie Zhaonan's eyes. It was filled with spiritual energy and had a crystal-like color. It was also emitting a thin spiritual energy. This object was the spiritual vein of this place that had just been captured.

This spiritual vein is only two or three hundred meters long, and the thickest part is only as thick as a human thigh. In addition to the main trunk, there are also sparse branches distributed on it.

With a move of his body, Nie Zhaonan placed his hand on the spiritual vein without hesitation, and then took it into the Zixiao Cave Heaven. From then on, this spiritual vein became a part of the Zixiao Cave Heaven, providing a constant supply of spiritual energy for the Zixiao Cave Heaven.

Although the spiritual energy produced by this small spiritual vein is almost nonexistent for the Zixiao Cave Heaven, which has a diameter of a thousand miles, it is still better than nothing. Moreover, there are many ownerless spiritual veins in the outer sea, which can completely make up for the deficiency in quantity.

In fact, as long as the spiritual veins of Biling Island are transferred to Zixiao Cave, the spiritual energy in the cave will definitely increase tremendously.

However, Nie Zhaonan's current strength is still insufficient to restrain the top-grade spiritual vein. According to his estimation, he will be able to do this only after he enters the Spirit Transformation Stage.

Now all we can do is spend a little more time to detain and collect these small spirit veins.

After collecting the spiritual vein, Nie Zhaonan moved and fell to a flat ground below, then set up a set of inverted five elements formations around him, and then took out a plant of colorful grass with spread leaves and began to hunt monsters.

Although demon beasts in the Jindan stage are no longer of any use to him, he still has many Taoist companions to cultivate, so his demand for demon pills is naturally huge.

Moreover, high-level demon pills are extremely precious items in Tiannan. A seventh-level demon pill can be regarded as an extremely rare treasure by a Nascent Soul cultivator, and its value is no less than that of an ordinary ancient treasure.

Take advantage of this opportunity to collect more high-level demon pills so that you can use them to exchange for the treasures you need in the future.

So in the following days, Nie Zhaonan sat cross-legged in meditation, using the infant fire to cultivate the numerous flying swords and blue thunder wings in his dantian.

When a high-level monster was attracted, Nie Zhaonan would send out one or two sword energies and kill it easily. After collecting the monster's corpse, he continued to sit cross-legged and polish his natal magic weapon.

After a few days, when no more monsters are attracted by the colorful grass, Nie Zhaonan will pack up the equipment for setting up the formation and rush towards the next island with spiritual veins.

Repeating the previous series of operations may seem a bit boring, but Nie Zhaonan enjoys it.

Because all the efforts were worth it, he could clearly see how much he had gained.

The spiritual energy in the Zixiao Cave has grown from nothing to something, and from thin to gradually dense. He has also harvested a large number of demon beasts, demon pills, weapon refining materials, and flesh and blood.

In the outer sea, Nie Zhaonan spent ten years like this.

This time seems to be almost the same as the previous monster hunting time, but now Nie Zhaonan is a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and he is also an extraordinary powerful warrior. The speed of hunting monsters is extremely fast. No monster can withstand the power of two Gengjin sword energies. The efficiency of killing monsters is not only increased several times, it is simply not in the same order of magnitude.

Even later, in order to hunt more high-level monsters in a short period of time, Nie Zhaonan even used the colorful grass to set up multiple monster-luring places within a radius of more than 100 miles.

Usually he would stay in the center of these places that attract monsters, waiting for the monsters to come. With the blessing of the Blue Thunder Wings, Nie Zhaonan's speed could be said to be as fast as lightning, and he could reach this distance in just a few breaths.

This trip to the outer sea can be said to be the one with the greatest gains for Nie Zhaonan.

Above an area of ​​the Inner Star Sea, Nie Zhaonan hid his body and followed slowly behind several people in front of him.

A middle-aged man in his forties, named Jin Qing. He had fair skin, thin eyes and long eyebrows, and looked gentle and elegant. He was a relatively decent Jindan casual cultivator in Tianxing City.

There were three other monks, two women and one man.

The male cultivator was a young cultivator in white shirt, named Hu Yue, who also had the Jindan cultivation level.

The Stone Fairy from Red Moon Island is only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, but she is a master of formations and has a good understanding of formations.

The last female cultivator was wearing a white palace skirt and had an ordinary face, but she had a pair of extremely smart eyes. She was naturally Xin Ruyin.

Xin Ruyin and her group of four went there to explore the ruins of an ancient temple.

However, because this ancient ruins was guarded by an extremely powerful formation, the three of them were simply unable to break the formation, so they invited Xin Ruyin, a master of formations, to go with them.

Nie Zhaonan knew that the place they were going to explore this time was the place where the extremely yin sealed Xiao Cha, a ghost cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage.

Although Xiao Cha has no body to use now and cannot exert much of his strength, his mysterious and bizarre ghost skills are not something a Jindan cultivator can deal with.

After giving Xin Ruyin three thousand gold-eating insects for protection, he also followed secretly.

After flying for half a day, a large island came into sight.

The island is very large, with a radius of more than a thousand miles. However, the island is mostly hills and slopes, and it is gray and yellow everywhere.

This place is a veritable deserted island. Not only is there no spiritual vein to be found, but ordinary trees cannot survive on the island.

However, to Jin Qing and his group, the more unusual and strange this place seemed, the more likely it was that there were ancient ruins here.

Jin Qing, Hu Yue and others also sped up their escape speed and flew towards the west.

After flying for more than a hundred miles, the group landed in front of a huge earthen hill.

"My name is Hu Yue, and I am one of the initiators of this trip." Hu Yue introduced himself.

The other initiator was naturally Jin Qing, who invited Xin Ruyin to come.

Then he began to introduce the woman next to him.

"This Fairy Shidie is a well-known formation master on Hongyue Island. I believe that if she joins forces with Fairy Xin, she will be able to break the formation." Hu Yue said with a smile.

He obviously knew that Xin Ruyin came from the Treasure Pavilion, and Xin Ruyin's cultivation was at the same level as his, so he naturally did not dare to neglect her.

"Let me be frank. I am only responsible for helping you break the formation. If there is any danger behind the formation, a woman like me who has just established her foundation will not take action. And I must choose one of the things I have obtained this time."

This female monk named Shi Die was of average appearance, but had an arrogant look and was very rude when she spoke. It was obvious that she didn't know Xin Ruyin's background.

Or maybe he thought that he had the support of his father, Master Shi from Hongyue Island, who was already a Jindan master, and he was not afraid of the person in front of him at all.

Nie Zhaonan, who was hiding nearby, just shook his head lightly.

"How about this, if the two fairies break the formation, then let each of you choose one thing first, and we will distribute the others later." Hu Yue said with some embarrassment.

Jin Qing had been standing aside with a calm expression. Master Shi had done him a favor in his early years, so he just accepted it.

Xin Ruyin nodded and said nothing more. She came out for more experience and didn't care much about how much she gained.

"Let's go to the formation first and see if we can break it?" Jin Qing suggested with a smile.

"Yes! This formation is also very strange. Fellow Daoist Jin and I once forcefully attacked it for a whole day and night, but it did not shake the formation at all. Instead, it consumed all our magic power." Hu Yue slapped his head and quickly agreed.

So, with no objection from others and with a little curiosity, the group flew towards the belly of the hill and stopped near an inconspicuous gentle slope.

A yellow fog ball about a mile in radius was not far below, lying there like a giant beast. It was chaotic and silent, giving people a feeling of being unfathomable.

"Huh! Quite interesting, it looks like a magic array with the dual attributes of wind and earth." When Shi Die saw the momentum of this magic array, his eyes immediately lit up and he showed some excitement.

Then she landed from the air to the edge of the formation, and excitedly took out some strange magical tools and began to test them.

However, her knowledge of formations was obviously limited, and she took out more than ten different magical instruments to test the formation.

As a result, except for a yellow bronze mirror which caused yellow fog to roll wherever it was reflected, the rest had no effect at all.

The female cultivator now blushed slightly and felt a little embarrassed.

Seeing this scene, Hu Yue and Jin Qing looked at each other, and couldn't help but fly up the slope and walked behind the woman.

Xin Ruyin also knew that it was time for her to take action. In her opinion, the strength of the formation before her was only enough to trap a Jindan cultivator, and it was not particularly powerful. For her, a formation master, it would be even easier to break it.

So he slapped the storage bag, and more than a dozen small flags of different colors flew out of it, and then gently rotated around Xin Ruyin.

"Formation flags!" Jin Qing was the first to shout out when he saw these small flags.

Hu Yue and Shi Die showed surprised expressions, wondering why Xin Ruyin did not go to break the formation but took out these things.
