Mortal's Purple Sky Cave Heaven

Chapter 264 Keeping an Appointment
Just after Nie Zhaonan left for half a day, more than ten rays of spiritual light flickered in the sky, and human figures could be vaguely seen among them. Judging from the spiritual pressure emanating from them, they were all rare Nascent Soul cultivators.

After a careful investigation of the place, these dozen Nascent Soul cultivators came to a shocking conclusion: a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage had fought a fierce battle with an ancient demon here, but was ultimately defeated and used a secret method to self-destruct.

Everything about this late Nascent Soul cultivator disappeared without a trace in the self-explosion, not even the fragments of magic weapons and ancient treasures were left behind.

As for whether the ancient demon was injured in this fight and how serious the injury was, they could not infer it out of thin air.

The dozen or so Nascent Soul cultivators carefully explored the area within a hundred miles, but still failed to obtain more information. They returned in the direction they came from and went to their respective sects.

The transmission of information between cultivators was so fast that within just a few days, the news that a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage had died in a battle with an ancient demon spread throughout Tiannan.

The death of a great monk was something that had not happened in Tiannan for many years.

After all, in Tiannan, great cultivators are considered top-notch warriors, and most of these cultivators pass away on their own, and rarely die at his hands.

For a while, Tiannan was shaken again, and people were in panic. The ancient demon's power frightened most cultivators so much that they couldn't sleep at night.

The Nascent Soul cultivators of such powerful forces as the Righteous Path and the Tiandao League all went to visit their own late-stage great cultivators. Even the Mulan people asked to see the Mulan Divine Master as expected. Their purpose was naturally to confirm that the fallen person was not a great cultivator from their own force.

For these major forces, the death of a great monk means a redistribution of interests.

Then a strange scene appeared. The news of the death of an unknown great monk caused Wei Wuya, Master Zhiyang, and Master Mulan to appear in front of all the cultivators one by one, just to prove that the fallen person was someone else.

But there are exceptions. The old demon Hehuan has been in seclusion for a long time and has not come out for a long time. This makes all the cultivators in the Hehuan Sect, from the Qi Refining and Foundation Building disciples to the Jindan and Yuanying elders, have a bad premonition.

Finally, Old Demon Yunlu and a group of Hehuan Sect's high-ranking officials went to the secret retreat room together and asked Old Demon Hehuan to come out, which calmed people's hearts.

However, this made the Tiannan monks even more dumbfounded, because none of Tiannan's great monks died.

The identity of the fallen person became even more confusing.

Some people speculated that the fallen person might be an outsider from another world of immortal cultivation, while others believed that he was a hermit who devoted himself to cultivation.
Even later, the three great cultivators of Tiannan and Master Mulan went to the place where the war took place to check it out, but in the end no news came out.

On this day, two startling rainbows rose in the Huangfeng Valley and flew away to the north.

These two people are naturally Nie Zhaonan and Xin Ruyin, and they are going to repair the seal that was destroyed by the ancient demon.

The Seven Spirit Islands are located in the boundless sea to the north of Xi Country. According to the information Nie Zhaonan received, as long as you reach the seaside, it only takes one day to see the huge vortex of spiritual energy and the seven spirit islands.

Both of them were Nascent Soul cultivators, and even though they were not using their full strength to fly, their speed was still astonishing.

After seven days, the two could already feel a huge source of spiritual energy in the distance, which was constantly spewing out spiritual energy, very ostentatiously.

The two of them unknowingly increased their speed by three points.

When a black dot was faintly seen on the sea, a small group of cultivators appeared in front of them, about five or six people, most of whom were foundation-building cultivators. The leader had the Jindan cultivation level, and was actually a beautiful woman in Taoist robes with quite a bit of looks.

Nie Zhaonan and Xin Ruyin naturally had no intention of concealing their whereabouts. The team of monks who were coming towards them naturally saw them at a glance and came straight towards them.

"Greetings, seniors. I am a cultivator from the Taizhen Sect. I have been ordered by you to seal off this sea area. I wonder what business you have here and if I could let you know." The beautiful woman in Taoist robe glanced at Nie Zhaonan and Xin Ruyin, her expression suddenly changed as she bowed deeply and said respectfully.

"No need." Nie Zhaonan said indifferently and waved his hand.

"Senior, are you trying to force your way in? There is a great monk in charge of this place." The beautiful woman in Taoist robe was stunned and her expression suddenly became nervous.

Suddenly, a white light flashed beside the beautiful woman, and then it faded away, revealing a figure.

This person holds a whisk in his hand, carries a sword on his back, and has a ruddy complexion. Who else could he be but Master Zhiyang?
"Greetings, Master!" The beautiful woman in Taoist robe bowed quickly, her tone extremely respectful.

Only now did she understand what Nie Zhaonan meant by "No need", and at the same time she felt a little uneasy, secretly wondering if her slightly questioning tone had offended the person in front of her.

As if he had noticed something strange about the beautiful woman, Master Zhiyang waved his whisk and said, "Please leave first. I have something important to discuss with the two Taoist friends."

"Yes." The beautiful woman in Taoist robe kept her head down and agreed softly.

Then, without even raising his head, he turned around with a group of foundation-building monks and patrolled in the distance.

"Master Zhiyang has come to greet us personally. My husband and I are unworthy of his honor." Nie Zhaonan said politely.

Xin Ruyin just stood quietly beside him.

"Haha, both of you Taoist friends are trustworthy people, so I should naturally come to greet you from afar. I hope you won't take the previous disrespectful behavior of our elders to heart." Master Zhiyang laughed, like a kind old man.

"It is his duty to inquire according to the rules. How can you blame him?" Nie Zhaonan smiled and said nonchalantly.

Master Zhiyang nodded, then turned to Xin Ruyin and said, "This must be Fellow Daoist Xin, I have heard that you are an amazing master of formations, and now I see that you are indeed extraordinary and your demeanor is unparalleled."

"You are too kind, Master." Xin Ruyin replied in a soft voice and said no more, as if she was putting Nie Zhaonan first.

Hearing this, Master Zhiyang secretly sighed in his heart that Fellow Daoist Nie was so lucky. Not only did he have such a Taoist partner who was of the best appearance and talent, but he was also able to control him so well.

"You two please come with me to the cave and gather together first. I have already informed fellow Daoist Wei Wuya. As for that old monster Hehuan, after he showed up three months ago, he announced that he would go into seclusion again and cannot come here." Master Zhiyang invited and explained a few words at the same time.

"Okay, let's do as you say." Nie Zhaonan had no intention of objecting and agreed immediately.

Immediately, the three of them flew towards a spiritual island.

On the way, Nie Zhaonan used his spiritual sense to scan the entire island, and it turned out that there was indeed an excellent small spiritual vein on the island, which was about ten miles in size.

Not long after, Nie Zhaonan and the other person, led by Master Zhiyang, entered a newly opened cave.

This cave was located in an inconspicuous rocky mountain, but it was huge and clean. The three of them came to a hall and sat down at the same time. A Taoist boy served them spiritual tea. After tasting the tea, the three of them began to talk quietly.

Master Zhiyang seemed eager to solve the problem of repairing the seal, and he began to introduce some information about the nearby sea areas and the seal.

Nie Zhaonan had similar thoughts. He wanted to solve this problem quickly and enter the cave to practice in seclusion.

After all, he has no shortage of elixirs to improve his magic power. He has used his spare time to produce a large amount of Tianxing Grass and refine a batch of elixirs and Qixialian to improve his magic power. These are enough to push his magic power to the peak of this realm. The only thing he needs is enough time to go into seclusion.

Just after a cup of tea, Wei Wuya also appeared outside the cave, and then, greeted by Master Zhiyang, he also came to the hall.

When meeting Nie Zhaonan, there was naturally some politeness. At the same time, Xin Ruyin also had a brief chat with Wei Wuya, which was considered a preliminary acquaintance.

As soon as Wei Wuya sat down, he did not mention the seal of this place, but unexpectedly asked:
"Brother Nie, I wonder what you think of that fallen cultivator? Do you know his identity?"

"I have no idea of ​​that person's identity." Nie Zhaonan shook his head without showing any surprise.

He didn't lie. It was just an avatar of his. There was no identity information at all.

Moreover, he asked himself that with the power of the self-explosion, even if he went there in person, he would not be able to find any useful clues, let alone worry about someone linking it to him.

In fact, to outsiders, he is just an early Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Oh, that's such a pity. I thought Brother Nie had been to other immortal cultivation realms and knew this person." Wei Wuya explained the reason for his inquiry.

"After all, this person has already died, so it is useless to know more. However, the ancient demon must have been seriously injured in this battle, otherwise he would not have not appeared for such a long time. Perhaps he has already passed through the Mulan grassland and headed for the Dajin immortal world. In this way, this person died a worthy death." Master Zhiyang said calmly.

"This person is indeed quite powerful. The self-detonation of an ordinary great cultivator cannot be so powerful. He must have used some extremely powerful secret method to enhance the power of his self-detonation. The world of immortal cultivation is truly full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. I don't think I can be so decisive." Wei Wuya said slowly after thinking for a while.

In the last battle in the Demon Valley, his loss of true energy was not small. Even so, he had no intention of self-destructing at the time. After all, self-destruction would definitely lead to death.

Seeing the two of them talking about his clones in front of him, with some respect and admiration for them, Nie Zhaonan felt very strange in his heart, but his expression remained normal.

"Can you tell us the details about the seal and what stage the seal's restoration has reached?" Xin Ruyin, who was an insider, spoke up at the right time to change the subject.

What Master Zhiyang said before were all general details about the seal, but no specific details were mentioned.

"This..." Wei Wuya paused, looked at Master Zhiyang with a wry smile, and then said helplessly:
"There are only a few array masters in Tiannan, and this array was built in ancient times. So far, no usable method has been found to repair it, and even the general composition of the sealing array has not been clearly explored. However, we have already consulted the array classics, and I believe it won't take long for us to come up with a plan."

Nie Zhaonan couldn't help but stroke his forehead, speechless.

Come to think of it, according to the original trajectory, the issue of the seal of the Seven Spirit Island can only be resolved after Han Li escapes from Lingmiao Garden in 20 or 30 years. There is no way there will be any substantial progress now.

Master Zhiyang also looked a little embarrassed, which was why he did not elaborate just now, because there was really nothing to say.

"I have some ideas now, but to know the actual situation, I have to go to the ancient seal in person." Xin Ruyin said something that made the two great monks extremely excited.

"Okay, okay, since Brother Xin is so confident, let's go to the seal first." Master Zhiyang said three "OK" words in a row and suggested.

Wei Wuya also nodded, showing no objection.

Nie Zhaonan also put down the spiritual tea in his hand.

So, the group of four immediately left Master Zhiyang's cave and headed straight for the vortex of spiritual energy.

After flying for about a hundred miles, we finally saw a hazy ball of light shining on the sea in the distance. Large patches of colorful light condensed and rotated in the sky, like a huge funnel that was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, connecting to the white ball of light below. The scene formed was extremely strange.

When Nie Zhaonan saw this scene, a hint of surprise flashed across his face.

Under his spiritual sense, both the white light ball and the five-colored rays of light contained astonishingly pure spiritual energy, which was extremely amazing.

When he got closer, this so-called big whirlpool fell into Nie Zhaonan's eyes with extraordinary clarity.

On the sea surface in front of him, a large hole with a diameter of three or four hundred feet appeared.

Wisps of pure white spiritual energy gushed out from it from time to time, and then floated up to the sky. Under the sunlight, it turned into a large patch of rosy light that covered half of the sky, looking extremely gorgeous.

Since Xin Ruyin came here, she has been staring at the huge vortex of spiritual energy. From time to time, a gleam of light flashes in her eyes, and her joy cannot be concealed.

It was not until a long while later, after she had carefully taken in the surrounding scenery, that she withdrew her gaze.

At this time, Master Zhiyang, who had been waiting for a long time, couldn't wait to ask:

"Master Xin, is there any way to repair this seal?"

Master Zhiyang unconsciously changed the way he addressed Xin Ruyin.

Wei Wuya also looked at Xin Ruyin with anticipation, and the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.

Naturally, they wanted to resolve the matter as quickly as possible and re-seal the boundless demonic energy under the spiritual energy vortex. Otherwise, if they left such a serious problem here, they would not be able to sleep peacefully, let alone spend time on cultivation.

"This is just the outermost part of the seal. I need to go deeper and investigate carefully." Xin Ruyin shook her head and was not in a hurry to give an answer.

Because of the thousands of feet of spiritual energy separating them, the divine consciousness could not penetrate deeply into the depths.

"That's good. Although there is some pressure below, it is not unbearable. There are just many small spiritual energy whirlpools in the whirlpool. Once you are caught in one of them, it would be somewhat dangerous. So, I will accompany Master Xin on the journey. Do you want to come with us, Fellow Daoist Nie?" Master Zhiyang thought for a while and said this, and finally asked Nie Zhaonan.
