Mortal's Purple Sky Cave Heaven

Chapter 256 Silver Moon's Memory

"Since Fellow Daoist Linghu has asked this question, I will not beat around the bush." ​​Master Zhiyang paused and said, "We two are here to discuss something with Fellow Daoist Nie of your sect."

"Junior Brother Nie? This may be a bit difficult." Old Monster Linghu did not respond immediately, but hesitated.

"Oh? What do you mean, Brother Linghu? Could it be that something has happened to Brother Nie?" Wei Wuya asked with concern.

"That's not the case." Old Monster Linghu shook his head and replied.

At the same time, he was somewhat confused. Wei Wuya addressed Nie Zhaonan so intimately, and the concern in his words did not seem fake. Could it be that Junior Brother Nie really had a good relationship with him?

In fact, like Master Zhiyang, Wei Wuya and Nie Zhaonan were just casual acquaintances. Because of the transactions they had made, their friendship was only slightly better than that of the cultivators they had just met.

The reason why Wei Wuya called Nie Zhaonan "Brother Nie" was simply because he regarded Nie Zhaonan as an equal.

Wei Wuya's somewhat unusual nicknames were not groundless, but he already had an extremely bold guess in his mind, even though this guess was very shocking and inconsistent with common sense.

Considering that Nie Zhaonan had once traded with him for 'Tian Xing Cao', a spiritual herb that was only available to cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage, and that Nie Zhaonan's magical powers were far beyond those of his peers, they were incredibly powerful.

When the night was quiet, he would often wonder whether Nie Zhaonan was a late-stage cultivator.

To be precise, he is a two hundred year old cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage!
Wei Wuya knew that this guess was doomed to be unconfirmed. After all, judging from Nie Zhaonan's current strength, even if he, a late-stage great cultivator, personally took action to verify it, Nie Zhaonan would be able to deal with it easily and would not be able to force out Nie Zhaonan's true realm of cultivation.

To put it another way, even if Nie Zhaonan was forced to reveal his true realm of cultivation, it would not benefit him at all. Instead, it would create a grudge between him and Nie Zhaonan.

Naturally, he would not do something so thankless and without any benefit.

Of course, Nie Zhaonan was able to rival the strength of a late-stage cultivator when he was in the early stage of the Nascent Soul. Now, not only has his realm been promoted to the late stage, but his magic weapons have also been cultivated for a hundred years and are far beyond what they were when he just formed the Nascent Soul. Even if he only uses the magic power of the early stage of the Nascent Soul to fight against a late-stage cultivator, he can easily defeat him.

In this way, a late-stage cultivator wanted to force Nie Zhaonan to reveal his realm, but it was doomed to be fruitless.

The thought flashed through his mind, and Linghu looked at the two people opposite him and continued to explain:
"Brother Nie has been in seclusion since the auction ended. He seems to be practicing some magical power. He didn't even participate in the trip to the Fallen Demon Valley. Otherwise, with Brother Nie's magical power, even if the Fallen Demon Valley is extremely dangerous to Yuanying cultivators and even ancient demons appear, it will not pose any threat to Brother Nie. On the contrary, he will gain a lot."

Old Monster Linghu also praised Nie Zhaonan a few words while speaking.

"This..." Master Zhiyang and Wei Wuya looked at each other at the same time, and both saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

After all, according to the description of Old Monster Linghu, Nie Zhaonan seemed to be practicing extremely important magical powers at the moment, so it would be difficult to disturb him.

Linghu Old Monster moved his fingers a few times and said a good news: "But Junior Brother Nie also told me before he went into seclusion that his seclusion would not take long this time, only a year or two, so it's about time now."

"Before coming to greet you two, I have already sent a sound transmission note to Junior Brother Nie. I believe there will be a result soon. If you two have nothing important to do, how about following me into the valley and waiting?" Old Monster Linghu invited.

Keeping you waiting in the mountains for a long time is not really a proper way to entertain guests.

Master Zhiyang frowned slightly. The situation before him was extremely urgent and could not afford any further delay.

But after thinking for a while, Master Zhiyang nodded and agreed, "So it is."

But before he could utter the word "OK", his lips closed again.

At the same time, his brows relaxed.

"Brother Nie's sound transmission note has arrived." Wei Wuya also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a little joy.

Both of them looked in the direction behind Old Monster Linghu.

At this time, Linghu the old monster also noticed something strange behind him. With his spiritual sense, he found that it was a sound transmission talisman flying towards this place.

The speed of this sound transmission talisman was beyond the imagination of ordinary cultivators. In just a few breaths, it was suspended in front of Linghu Old Monster.

"It is indeed Junior Brother Nie's sound transmission note." Linghu Old Monster confirmed.

At the same time, Old Monster Linghu grabbed the sound transmission talisman in his hand, probed it with his spiritual sense, and listened to the sound transmission in the talisman.

"Junior Brother Nie has just come out of retreat. It seems that you two Taoist friends have arrived at the right time." Old Monster Linghu said with a smile.

"Please come this way, both of you." Without any hesitation, Old Monster Linghu immediately rode on his light and led the way.

Master Zhiyang and Wei Wuya naturally followed without hesitation.

On the other hand, just when Nie Zhaonan finished explaining his cultivation experience to Nie Yun and Chen Qiaotian, the sound transmission note sent by Linghu the old monster had already arrived in front of the restriction of Yuxiu Peak.

At such a close distance, Nie Zhaonan naturally discovered the trace of the sound transmission note and called it in. After understanding the information in it, he casually sent out a sound transmission note in reply.

Afterwards, after giving them a few elixirs that could help break through the bottleneck, Nie Zhaonan let Chen Qiaotian and the others leave.

Although they looked somewhat reluctant, Chen Qiaotian and the other man had no choice but to retreat.

This time, they not only obtained three Yuanying period bronze-armored corpses, but also had a clear understanding of breaking through the current bottleneck. With the help of elixirs, breaking through would be as simple as eating and drinking.

In such a short period of time, they saved themselves the effort of decades of hard training. No wonder they both had such expressions.

Naturally, Nie Zhaonan saw all of this, but he didn't say much, let alone say that he would guide the two again.

If you rely entirely on others to tell you about the path of spiritual practice, you are destined not to go far.

When Nie Zhaonan was the only one left in the hall, he suddenly clapped his hands.

Accompanied by the sound of crisp clapping, four humanoid puppets walked out from the side hall, each holding a tray in their hands, on which were placed spiritual fruits like apricots, stacked into a triangular hill.

Right next to the tray stood a set of exquisite tea sets, and the teapot seemed to be filled with some magical tea.

After placing the things in their hands on the table, these humanoid puppets stood quietly in place.

Nie Zhaonan stretched out his hand and was about to make another move, but suddenly a strange look flashed across his face, and he paused for a moment before flicking his hand in front of him. A beautiful woman appeared there.

She had a beautiful face, full breasts, a waist as slender as a willow swaying in the wind, and a curvy and well-proportioned figure. Just by standing there, she exuded an invisible charm and a hint of nobility.

This woman is Yin Yue.

"Why did you suddenly think of it?" Nie Zhaonan asked with concern as he looked at Yin Yue who had been in seclusion for a long time.

"I remembered some past events and I'm a little upset." Yin Yue said with a sad look on her jade face.

"What happened in the past? Tell me about it." Nie Zhaonan waved his hand and hugged Yin Yue in his arms.

The moment of contact, Yin Yue's delicate body trembled, as if she was a little uncomfortable, but returned to normal in an instant.

Although this abnormality was very subtle, Nie Zhaonan still noticed it. However, he did not say much. Instead, a thoughtful look flashed across his face.

Yin Yue leaned on Nie Zhaonan's chest with her eyes slightly closed, so she naturally did not see Nie Zhaonan's expression.

"I came to see the master because I want to tell him my troubles. The master is the only one Yin Yue can rely on." Yin Yue's voice was a little low.

Nie Zhaonan didn't say anything, but just patted Yin Yue's jade back gently.

"I was originally in seclusion in the cave, planning to raise the cultivation of this spirit fox body to the peak of level seven in one go, and then come out. But just when I broke through level seven, scenes from the past emerged in my mind, and after seeing those, I lost the heart to practice." Yin Yue explained the cause of the incident, and his voice softened.

Over the past hundred years, Yin Yue has occupied the body of the four-tailed fox and has cultivated to this point. His progress is quite fast. Of course, although it is called cultivation, it is more accurate to say that he is recovering his cultivation.

Feeling the warm embrace, Yin Yue's heart gradually settled down, and she said slowly: "I am the princess of the Yin Yue Wolf Clan in the Spirit World, and I seem to be the concubine of Tian Kui Wolf King, one of the seven demon kings of the demon clan."

As if she was afraid that Nie Zhaonan would be angry, Yin Yue hurriedly explained: "But don't worry, Master, Tian Kui Wolf King did not get Yin Yue's body. Although he forgot why, Yin Yue's essence is still there."

"Moreover, I don't have even the slightest affection for the Wolf King Tiankui. Now when I think of him, I feel a sense of hatred in my heart for no reason. It seems that there is still a lot of grudge between him and me."

Nie Zhaonan just smiled slightly at this. At this time, he probably knew more about Yin Yue than she did.

"Do you remember anything else?" Nie Zhaonan asked calmly, his hands still moving gently.

Feeling that Nie Zhaonan didn't seem angry at all, Yin Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I seem to have a split soul, and the split soul should still occupy my original body." Yin Yue said uncertainly.

"Soul division?" Nie Zhaonan looked somewhat puzzled.

How could he remember that it was Linglong's soul that was split into two parts by the conspiracy of the Tiankui Wolf King, with no distinction between the primary and the secondary.

One of them is Silver Moon, and the other soul is sealed in Kunwu Mountain, competing with Yuansha's soul for control of the body.

It seems that Yin Yue’s memory has not been restored much, Nie Zhaonan secretly concluded.

However, Nie Zhaonan still agreed with the term "split soul". After all, Yin Yue was his person, so after returning to her original body, he would naturally take her as his priority. Otherwise, he would not be willing to serve another "split soul" in vain.

"My soul, together with my main body, should still be in this world, but I don't know exactly where." Yin Yue's beautiful face was full of confusion.

Nie Zhaonan gently lifted up Yin Yue's face and assured her in a calm tone, "Don't worry, I will find your body and make you back to normal."

The voice was not loud, but to Yin Yue it sounded extremely firm, as if it was about to happen.

"Well, Yin Yue believes that the master can do it. I have more confidence in the master than in myself." Yin Yue closed her beautiful eyes slightly and rubbed Nie Zhaonan's palm, like an obedient little pet.

After hearing this, Nie Zhaonan smiled slightly and thought everything was under control.

Nie Zhaonan looked relaxed and was about to take other actions when suddenly a strange color flashed in his eyes.

Outside the cave, three startling rainbows came from the distant sky. After flashing a few times, they landed at the foot of Yuxiu Peak.

The light faded and three figures appeared. It was none other than Old Monster Linghu, Master Zhiyang, and Wei Wuya, a total of three people who came together.

The Yuxiu Peak cannot be considered a place with excellent spiritual energy. The only thing worth mentioning is that the shape of the mountain is very beautiful, with rugged rocks, which seem to be formed by nature, as if by magic.

Looking at the mountain in front of them without any traces of human activity, Master Zhiyang and Wei Wuya looked at each other and couldn't help but see the surprise in each other's eyes.

"Haha, I think you two Daoists have figured out the secrets of this peak." Linghu Old Monster smiled and said complacently, "That's right, this place is covered by an extremely sophisticated illusion array. Even I can't see any problems. Only you two can see some abnormalities with your powerful cultivation."

“Some time ago, an elder of my Taizhen Sect mentioned to me that there is a formation master in Huangfeng Valley. I thought it was an exaggeration at first, but I didn’t expect it to be even better than that!” Master Zhiyang stroked his beard and exclaimed, with a barely perceptible flash of relief in his eyes, as if he had found a solution to a problem that had been bothering him for a long time.

"Could it be that this formation master is Brother Nie?" Wei Wuya asked curiously as he looked at the mountain wall more than ten feet wide in front of him, which was covered with moss.

“Junior Brother Nie successfully formed a fetus when he was over 200 years old, and he possessed several amazing magical powers. It’s no exaggeration to say that he is a rare genius in cultivation in ancient and modern times. However, a person’s energy is limited after all. In two hundred years, no matter how amazing Junior Brother Nie was, he could not take care of more things.” Old Monster Linghu shook his head and replied slowly.

Master Zhiyang and Wei Wuya nodded in agreement with what Old Monster Linghu said, but they showed no surprise at the flattery of Nie Zhaonan in his words, as they were already used to it.

Of course, Linghu Laoguai can’t be said to be flattering, after all, what he said was true.

"Could Fellow Daoist Linghu tell us in detail about this formation master?" Master Zhiyang was actually interested in the formation master who set up the formation in front of him.

"Of course." Linghu Old Monster agreed with a smile.

"This formation master has a very close relationship with Junior Brother Nie. He is Junior Brother Nie's Taoist partner, Junior Sister Xin Ruyin."

"I haven't met her many times, but after a brief conversation, I can say that I admire Sister Xin's talent and ability in formation. It's not an exaggeration to call her the best in Tiannan."

Old Monster Linghu did not disappoint Master Zhiyang and began to talk about Xin Ruyin incessantly, with the same attitude as before when he was praising Nie Zhaonan.
