Mortal's Purple Sky Cave Heaven

Chapter 164 Danger
In two places with excellent terrain, Nascent Soul cultivators from both the righteous and evil paths sat cross-legged.

Wan Tianming and his group of three were all in neat order, with calm expressions. Some were meditating silently to practice qigong, while others were closing their eyes to relax.

However, Madam Wen from the Demonic Path and the old man in Confucian robes looked somewhat absent-minded, and from time to time they cast their gazes towards the distant sky with a hint of anxiety.

The two of them couldn't help but be anxious. At this time, the giant demon master Man Huzi had not arrived yet. The two demon Nascent Soul cultivators knew that they were no match for the righteous cultivators and began to worry.

The two elders surnamed Zhao also arrived here as if nothing had happened after the meal.

The only two people who have not arrived yet are Nie Zhaonan and Man Huzi.

Time passed by little by little, and the deadline was not far away.

Now Wan Tianming and the others cast strange looks towards the demonic side, with an expression of watching a good show.

Mrs. Wen and the other woman could no longer even care about appearing calm. At the same time, they felt a little regretful. If the three of them had acted together, Man Huzi would not have not shown up until now because of the longevity fruit.

Just when Mrs. Wen and the other woman were feeling uneasy, and the looks from Wan Tianming and the others were becoming increasingly unfriendly, a very slight sound of breaking air was heard from the sky.

Madam Wen and the old man in Confucian robes showed a relaxed expression on their faces, but before they could smile, the next scene made them unable to laugh.

It was because what was galloping towards them was a long white rainbow, and the cultivator inside it was not Man Huzi at all.

In the blink of an eye, the white rainbow arrived above the cultivators, and then the light faded, revealing Nie Zhaonan, who was wearing a dark black robe.

Nie Zhaonan, who was in the air, glanced around and saw the two old men surnamed Zhao, and immediately landed.

But before Nie Zhaonan sat down, the old man in green robe asked impatiently: "Fellow Daoist Nie, have you ever met Man Huzi?" There was a hint of anticipation in his tone.

At this time, he was desperate and tried every possible means to ask Nie Zhaonan, who was in the enemy camp, about the situation.

"Oh, Man Huzi, I have indeed seen him before." Nie Zhaonan turned his head and looked at the old man in Confucian robe with an apologetic smile on his face, and said lightly.

Upon hearing the news that Nie Zhaonan had a barbarian bearded man, Mrs. Wen's complexion became much better, and the smile on the face of the old man in the Confucian robe suddenly became brighter.

"Fellow Daoist, do you know where Man Huzi is now?" the old man in Confucian robes asked eagerly.

"I only saw Man Huzi fighting a baboon from afar. Although Man Huzi finally picked the longevity fruit, he was also seriously traumatized mentally. Maybe he has returned to Yuting and is recuperating in peace now." Nie Zhaonan said half-truthfully with a look of reminiscence in his eyes.

"How is this possible! Although the baboon is quite powerful, the chance of winning against the barbarian is only fifty-fifty. How could it possibly hurt the barbarian?" The old man in the Confucian robe was shocked. His words were full of disbelief, and he shook his head like a rattle.

If Man Huzi really withdrew from the trip to the inner hall, then what were he and Madam Wen doing there? To be spectators?
"This is what I know. If Brother Qingyi doesn't believe me, just wait and you will find out whether Man Huzi will come here again." Nie Zhaonan replied calmly, then sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes to rest.

"This"

Seeing Nie Zhaonan's indifferent look, the old man in the Confucian robe couldn't say anything extra. He and Madam Wen looked at each other, their eyes full of bitterness.

On the other side, Wan Tianming and others all had smiles on their faces when they saw this scene. The conversation between Nie Zhaonan and Qing Yi Jushi just now did not use the sound transmission technique, so they naturally heard it.

They were naturally extremely happy. The demonic sect was no longer a force to be reckoned with now. Without the demonic sect members competing with them for the treasure and watching them covetously from the sidelines, the probability of them taking out the Xu Tian Ding was greatly increased.

After all, Wan Tianming has the golden silkworm in his hand, and also the "Sky Blue Flower" that can increase the power of spiritual beasts in a short period of time.

As long as Wan Tianming gave up the golden silkworms and fed them the "Sky Blue Flower" when taking the treasure, they would have a 30% to 40% chance of taking out the Xutian Ding.

The Xutian Ding is a treasure that the two Tianxing Saints are both concerned about. With the help of this treasure, they can take advantage of the moment when the Xing Palace is the weakest and replace the position of the Xing Palace.

Wan Tianming and the other two were chatting animatedly, and each of them had a look of satisfaction on his face.

Of course, they didn't know that Nie Zhaonan had a blood jade spider in his hand. This beast was one of the best beasts to take the Xutian Ding, and its success rate was far higher than Wan Tianming's golden silkworm.

Moreover, the two blood jade spiders in Nie Zhaonan's hands have been cultivated to the sixth level by him, so taking out the Xu Tian Ding can be said to be no problem. After all, in the original book, Han Li could do it with two fourth-level blood jade spiders, and the sixth-level blood jade spiders would only be easier.

On the other side, Nie Zhaonan and the other two were also communicating secretly.

"Palace Master, did that barbarian bearded man give up his trip to the inner palace because of what you did?" the old man surnamed Zhao asked curiously.

Otherwise, how could Barbarian Beard, who has mastered top-level defensive magic skills and has body-building skills unmatched in the entire Chaos Star Sea, retreat so easily?

The old man surnamed Zhao really couldn't think of any other reason. If he didn't know Nie Zhaonan's true strength, he wouldn't have associated it with him.

"Don't worry! I have sent Man Huzi away. If he knows what's good for him, he won't appear in public for more than a hundred years." Nie Zhaonan said calmly, but his words were extremely confident.

"Doesn't that mean that the three of us only need to face the remaining five Nascent Soul cultivators from both the righteous and evil paths? Moreover, only Wan Tianming has reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, while the other four are only in the early stage of the Nascent Soul. In this way, doesn't it seem very likely that we will wipe them all out?" Elder Xiao said excitedly, his eyes shining.

In fact, the most difficult one among the righteous and evil people was the man with a tortoise shell on his head. Originally, they needed at least one of them to restrain him, but now they don't need to.

The two of them can deal with the four Nascent Soul cultivators, and the Palace Master only needs to deal with Wan Tianming. This way, the advantage is completely on our side. If these five people are killed in the Xutian Palace, they will have made a huge contribution!

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was very likely. Elder Xiao's originally calm heart began to heat up slightly.

"If you want to kill all five of them, you naturally have to rely on the power of the Palace Master! The two of us will follow the Palace Master's orders!" Elder Zhao immediately complimented.

"What Elder Zhao said makes sense. I, Old Man Xiao, will absolutely obey the Palace Master's orders." Elder Xiao quickly expressed his sincerity.

He now has complete faith in Nie Zhaonan's strength. He can make Man Huzi lose his fighting spirit and even lose the confidence to join forces with the Demonic Path to fight against the Palace Master. One can imagine his strength.

Nie Zhaonan was very satisfied with the attitude of the two. When he was about to say something else, a fiery blue and white light suddenly appeared from the direction of the giant mountain.

In the midst of the earthquake, two narrow passages were split open, which seemed to lead directly into the canyon. Outside the entrances of the two passages, there were two stone tablets about three or four feet high. One was inscribed with "Xuanjing Road" and the other with "Lava Road" and other ancient characters.

Of the two passages, one is extremely cold, and one can freeze one's body if one is not careful. The other is extremely hot, and one is likely to be reduced to ashes. Only by reaching the end of the canyon can one find the teleportation array to teleport out, and only then can one pass the second level of the ice and fire road.

Suddenly some of the closest monks walked over first.

But just as outsiders entered the lava road, a hot wind that made them dizzy and swollen blew in their faces, making their mouths and tongues dry immediately.

Outside the Xuanjing Road, white icy air kept coming out from it, and there was a faint sound of howling fierce wind, which made people feel cold when they saw it.

"I'll go into the valley first." Nie Zhaonan said, and walked towards the passage with the 'Lava Road' stone tablet.

The two old men surnamed Zhao nodded slightly. They both had other missions to accomplish and had to observe the restrictions on the two roads at all times. Naturally, they could not go in with Nie Zhaonan.

In a moment, Nie Zhaonan strode into the passage.

The passage was only about two meters high, not very tall, but the dazzling red light faintly overflowing from the front was a bit shocking.

Gusts of hot wind blew towards them along the passage. Because the passage here was very narrow compared to the canyon, the hot wind was compressed and became even more violent, making Nie Zhaonan, who had just stepped into this place, immediately feel like he was being roasted in a hot furnace.

Nie Zhaonan just frowned slightly at this, and then a white light flashed around his body, and the protective light curtain protected him firmly and isolated him from the heat wave.

As we walked inside, the temperature of the air naturally became higher and higher, but this temperature was still not enough to break through the defense of the light curtain.

Nie Zhaonan continued to move forward without any pause.

At the end, a red wall of light blocked the way. Nie Zhaonan just took a look at the wall of light in front of him and dived in.

In the dazzling red light, after feeling a little top-heavy, the high temperature that had suddenly disappeared came rushing back like a counterattacking beast, and even the white protective light curtain flashed a few times, but it quickly returned to normal.

Nie Zhaonan calmed himself down, looked around, and took in the situation around him.

The red rocks, the yellow-red land, the grass and trees emitting red light, the deep red and blurry sky, everything is the color of fire, and the whole world is like a huge melting pot.

Even with the protection of the protective light curtain, Nie Zhaonan could still clearly sense the feeling that the air was almost burning.

The high temperature is not the most terrifying thing in the lava tunnel, it is just one of the dangers that always accompanies the monks.

All the monks on this second level of ice and fire road are unable to fly in the air and can only rely on their feet to move forward slowly step by step.

In this way, those who are teleported a little further away would have to walk for days and nights without sleep to reach the end of the canyon.

Some monks whose treasures of cold-proof and fire-proofing are less effective would find it difficult to hold out for long in such an extreme environment. If they do not have enough magic power, it would be even more dangerous.

Moreover, the natural demonic spirits with icy attributes gathered in the canyon are also the biggest obstacle for cultivators to pass this level safely.

Every time, half of the monks who want to pass this level die at the hands of these evil spirits.

Of course, these dangers can only endanger Jindan cultivators. For Yuanying cultivators, it will at most take a little more time to pass through this place safely.

Nie Zhaonan was surrounded by spiritual light, and his body suddenly rose several feet off the ground and then fell down suddenly.

The prohibition of flying in this canyon was indeed extremely powerful. Even Nie Zhaonan was forcibly suppressed and could not fly easily. Moreover, if he flew into the air, the mana consumed would be several times more than usual.

Moreover, Nie Zhaonan also vaguely sensed that there was a powerful spiritual energy fluctuation brewing in the air, which seemed to be ready to launch a thundering attack on him at any time.

In this case, Nie Zhaonan had to give up the plan of forcing his escape from here. He flashed a few times, used worldly light skills, and flew towards the exit at a high speed.

Bu Xu is a monk with earth-fire spiritual roots in the middle stage of elixir formation. Only a cultivation career of less than three hundred years has led to his current cultivation level, which has made him famous in the local area for being proud of several sea areas.

Even many people nearby believed that he was one of the cultivators with the greatest hope of being promoted to the Nascent Soul stage in Chaos Star Sea in the past hundred years. Bu Xu really enjoyed the awe, envy and praise from others.

But in his own situation, if Bu Xu had not found an ancient "Fen Yuan Dan" in the stomach of a level 4 demon beast when he was traveling, which saved him more than a hundred years of hard training, he would probably still be lingering in the foundation-building stage. But it was this elixir that made him taste the sweetness of ancient spiritual medicine.

Therefore, he had already set his sights on this trip to the "Xutian Palace" and bought a fire dragon insect at a high price in advance when others were not paying attention.

He wanted to take the risk of breaking into the inner hall and use this insect to collect the top secret treasure Xu Tian Ding that shook the starry sea.

As long as he has this tripod and the many treasures inside it, as well as the legendary Heaven-Repairing Pill, his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage will be just around the corner.

But he was thinking too beautifully. Although he was practicing the top ten fire-based martial arts in the Chaos Star Sea - 'Tai Yang Jue', he still had to keep Tai Yang Jue in operation all the time, so his magic power was consumed rapidly.

Although he had various spells such as the Light Body Spell to increase his speed, if he continued like this, he would have no hope of reaching the end of the canyon.

With no other options left, he looked up at the crimson sky, his expression changing from gloomy to bright.

After a hint of determination flashed across his face, a red light appeared on his body and his figure slowly floated up.

When he was two or three feet away from the ground, there was nothing unusual except that his magic power was consumed faster, and he suddenly showed an ecstatic expression.

Bu Xu made a hand gesture and his body turned into a ball of red light, then disappeared from the spot in a flash.

There was a loud "boom".
