Mortal's Purple Sky Cave Heaven

Chapter 266 Collection
"Can you tell me in detail?" Master Zhiyang asked anxiously.

"It's not difficult to repair this magic array. You just need to put the seven array eyes back in place, repair the original array, and then set up a large confinement array to assist," Xin Ruyin explained casually.

In fact, she had other simpler ways to repair the magic circle, but in order to meet the requirements of her husband, she had to come up with this method.

Of course, there is no doubt that this method can solve the current dilemma, and she is not worried about others noticing anything.

Upon hearing this, Master Zhiyang and Wei Wuya both looked thoughtful.

Although they are not good at formations, they are old monsters who have lived for many years after all, and they have a lot of knowledge. Moreover, their cultivation level is also there. It is not a problem for them to make a rough judgment on whether this method is really as effective as Xin Ruyin said.

“Then let’s return to the cave residence first. I will gather a few formation masters and Master Xin to discuss whether we can preserve the seven spiritual islands. After all, these spiritual islands are also rare and excellent places for cultivation. We originally planned to give one to the two Taoist friends.” After thinking it over, Zhiyang Shangren said this.

Nie Zhaonan and the others had no objection to Master Zhiyang's words, and they returned to Lingdao first.

After an incense stick of time, several streams of light shot out from the other islands and flew towards the cave of Master Zhiyang.

The speed of these streams of light is not too fast. Judging from the fluctuations of magic power they emit, they are only at the Jindan stage. The highest level of cultivation is only at the False Infant stage.

They were obviously the formation masters who had come here before.

After entering the cave, they worked for more than half a day before leaving with a bit of frustration, but their faces were more or less filled with joy.

It can be said that they have been studying the art of formations all their lives, and they believe they are quite talented in it. However, in just a short while, they were completely defeated by Master Xin. Only then did they realize that they were too incompetent and were like clowns in front of a true master.

Fortunately, they benefited a lot from this brief exchange and it was not completely in vain.

Early in the morning of the second day, the people on the seven spiritual islands, whether they were formation masters or foundation-building and core-forming cultivators of different levels of cultivation, all began to get busy, riding their magic weapons and magical treasures to fly all over the sea.

In order to repair the formation here, Wei Wuya and others had already prepared a batch of formation materials here, which was enough and there was no need to spend time collecting them again.

As each exquisite formation was set up one by one in various places, a combined formation formed by countless small formations connected together slowly took shape.

Lines of array patterns engraved with countless runes stretched across the sea, locking the seven spiritual islands together like giant chains, and connected to the magic array bases that were hundreds of feet wide on the spiritual islands, surrounding the huge vortex of spiritual energy in the center, and finally forming a pattern that was exactly the same as the Big Dipper, making it easy to tell at a glance that this magic array contained enormous power.

Three days later, the night sky was full of twinkling stars, and the moonlight fell on the sea, creating silver clouds the size of fish scales.

Without any signs, seven light screens on the dim Spirit Island rose up one after another, and white spiritual light bloomed, like an inverted round bowl covering the entire Spirit Island. The outline of the Spirit Island became clearly visible.

Then, spiritual light flowed like a stream, extending to the surroundings along the array chains. When all the array patterns were activated and spiritual light appeared, an incredible scene appeared.

Milky white beams of light shot out from the light curtain, tilted towards the center of the sky, pierced through the clouds, and finally gathered at a point in the sky.

That was the location right above the spiritual energy vortex.

After a flash of light, an irregular hexagonal light shield tightly covered the spiritual energy vortex below.

For a moment, the sea surface was illuminated like daytime, and it was clearly visible that eight light shields, one large and seven small, stood quietly above the sea surface.

However, this scene did not last long. An old command voice echoed long and deep. The voice was not loud, but it could be clearly heard within a radius of dozens of miles.

Following this command, the array chains on the sea surface, along with the eight light shields, slowly dived downwards. The whole process was silent and seemed a bit weird.

The speed doesn't seem fast, but in just a few breaths, there was only an empty space on the sea, and the Spirit Island disappeared without a trace. Only the white light emitted from under the sea proved what had just happened, but it was gradually fading.

Seeing this scene, Master Zhiyang and Wei Wuya couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that it was most likely successful.

"Master Xin, how is it? Is everything going well?" However, Master Zhiyang still turned around and asked one more question.

Hearing this, Xin Ruyin held up a formation plate in one hand, and made hand gestures with the other, uttering a few unintelligible spells.

The array plate in his hand kept flashing white light, and then a small array model was released, with several array chains and a few milky white light shields. It was a version of the previous array that was scaled down countless times.

"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission! The magic circle is operating normally." Xin Ruyin's eyes flickered. After carefully checking the array plate in her hand, she replied with a smile.

"Good, this way, we don't have to worry about the sudden outbreak of demonic energy and the destruction of the Tiannan immortal cultivation world." Wei Wuya said with a laugh, seeming to be in a good mood.

Master Zhiyang also showed a kind and filial smile. Although he failed to preserve the seven spiritual islands, he was in a very good mood as he could solve such a big problem so easily and quickly.

"Now that the matter here is over, I still have some important things to deal with, so I will take my leave and go back first." Seeing that both of them were relieved and very satisfied, Nie Zhaonan said his goodbyes calmly without hesitation.

"Brother Nie, why are you so anxious? Now that the problems of the ancient demon's rampage and the seal of the demonic energy have been resolved, it would not be too late for you to exchange some cultivation experiences with us before leaving. This way you won't be delayed for a few days." Wei Wuya stretched out his hand and tried to persuade him to stay.

"That's good." A thoughtful look flashed across Nie Zhaonan's face, and he suddenly seemed to remember something and changed the subject.

He suddenly remembered the obvious drawbacks of the magical power of 'Divine Thunder Clone' that he created, and part of this magical power was derived from the secret art of 'One Qi Transformed into Three Pure Ones'. Now that Master Zhiyang was here, it was a good time to ask.

"I have long admired Brother Daoist Nie's strength. How about we sit here and discuss Taoism together?" Master Zhiyang said, clasping his fists.

"Of course." Nie Zhaonan bowed in return. At this time, Master Zhiyang slapped his storage bag, and four rather exquisite cushions flew out and landed in front of several people.

No one knew what kind of rare material this cushion was made of, but there was a very pure five-colored spiritual energy emanating from it, which looked quite extraordinary.

Nie Zhaonan exclaimed in amazement for a few times, then sat down cross-legged.

So does everyone else.

The moonlight and stars were shining in the night sky, the breeze was blowing gently on the sea, and the waves were rising and falling. The four of them sat cross-legged in mid-air and exchanged their cultivation experiences together.

Day and night rotated, the sun rose and the moon set, and after several days, in the early morning of this day, Nie Zhaonan and Xin Ruyin turned into two dazzling rainbows and flew away into the sky.

After a while, it disappeared into the sky, leaving only two cushions in the air.

"Brother Wei, why did Fellow Daoist Nie ask me more about the secret art of 'One Qi Transformed into Three Pure Ones'? Could it be that he really has mastered this incomplete secret art?" Master Zhiyang stared blankly at the cushion opposite for a long time, suddenly turned his head, and said to Wei Wuya in a rather incredible manner.

"It's unlikely that he will succeed. After all, Brother Zhiyang, who has mastered the orthodox Taoist technique 'Haoran Jue', has not yet mastered the Taoist secret technique of One Qi Transforming Three Purities, let alone Brother Nie. However, it is possible that he can gain some benefits from it by analogy, otherwise he would not have deliberately sought out information on the subsequent secret techniques." Wei Wuya said half guessing and half inferring.

"That makes sense. But how would I know more about the follow-up of this secret technique? I just found it in an inconspicuous book in the sect's scripture library by chance." Master Zhiyang shook his head helplessly.

The secret technique of 'One Qi Transformed into Three Pure Ones' is so famous in the world of immortal cultivation that almost everyone knows about it and it is recognized as the top-level magical power of splitting the body.

When he first discovered this secret technique, although it was only one-third of the entire technique, he was still shocked. He thought it was a great opportunity for himself and even thought about refining this technique to suppress the dreams of other great monks.

As a result, after a hundred years of seclusion, he still gained nothing, and finally came to a disappointing conclusion: it is impossible to succeed!
“But speaking of it, the technique that Brother Nie practices is really unique. It is obviously much more refined than that of the cultivators of the same level. I’m afraid it is not much worse than that of great cultivators like us. I really don’t know what technique he practices that has such miraculous effects.” Wei Wuya said with envy, clicking his tongue twice.

Only because they had been together for such a long time and were so close to each other could he sense something going on inside Nie Zhaonan's body.

Of course, this was actually what Nie Zhaonan intended to show. The true state of his magic power was far beyond what others could imagine.

"That's not clear. Although some top-level techniques can indeed greatly increase a cultivator's mana, they are either extremely difficult to practice successfully or have some huge flaws, and some are not worth the effort. I don't know whether Fellow Daoist Nie is practicing one of these techniques, or something else." Master Zhiyang hesitated and could not say for sure.

Wei Wuya on the side nodded in agreement, but there was still some thought on his face.

The two of them then discussed the issue of manpower to guard the magic circle here. Master Zhiyang put away the cushion and flew back to their respective sects.

On the other side, after Nie Zhaonan and Xin Ruyin flew thousands of miles away, their escape light suddenly paused, and then turned again, and after making a circle, they headed towards the center of the formation.

With Nie Zhaonan's powerful spiritual awareness and escape skills, he could hide under the nose of the ancient demon without being discovered, so it would be no problem for him to avoid Wei Wuya and others.

After avoiding a team of patrolling monks guarding the magic circle, Xin Ruyin opened a portal with the array plate in her hand, and she and Nie Zhaonan entered the vast spiritual energy again without anyone noticing. The only difference from the first time was that there were seven more spiritual islands here, rising and falling in the spiritual energy.

After penetrating the misty light curtain, the two continued to move towards the abyss of demonic energy below.

"My husband will transfer the demonic energy into the cave here, and I will go to the bottom of the Demon Abyss alone to set up the formation." Xin Ruyin suggested this after they had traveled half the distance in the demonic energy.

"It's better to act separately. It will take me a lot of time to transfer the demonic energy, spiritual energy and the seven spiritual islands." Nie Zhaonan agreed without a problem.

Xin Ruyin nodded slightly, then flew downwards under the protection of the three-color light shield.

Nie Zhaonan waited until her figure completely disappeared in the evil spirit before he calmly stretched out his hand and waved it in front of him.

This flick was inconspicuous, and no magical power fluctuations were transmitted, but it seemed to have torn through the space, causing a "crack" dozens of feet wide to appear there.

In fact, this is just a temporary channel opened by Nie Zhaonan to communicate with Zixiao Cave Heaven.

With Nie Zhaonan's current control over Zixiao Cave Heaven, the passage he can open is only this big.

As soon as this passage appeared, the evil energy from the surrounding area seemed to have found an outlet, and it poured in in an endless stream.

In a corner of the Zixiao Cave, an area of ​​a hundred miles in radius, this place is a bit strange, as if it is isolated from all sides by an invisible force.

It seems that as soon as the pure spiritual energy from the surroundings flows here, it will be blocked outside by the invisible wall and cannot enter.

At the same time as the Demonic Abyss passage appeared, an identical passage also emerged in the sky in this corner, and then streams of black demonic energy poured in from the other end.

It was visible to the naked eye that the amount of demonic energy in this area was increasing rapidly, accumulating more and more. Before long, the entire area was dyed black, getting darker and darker, and it was pitch dark, but demonic energy was still surging through the passage.

Not far from this area, there stood a white stone tablet with the two large characters "Demon's Domain" written on it.

This is exactly the area that Nie Zhaonan specially isolated to store the demonic energy. This means that he has a certain control over Zixiao Cave Heaven. Otherwise, he would have to use the power of the formation to imprison the demonic energy. However, this would not be as convenient as it is now.

"Such pure demonic energy." Wang Ning, who had just walked out of the secret room and was strolling around in the cave, couldn't help but exclaim when he saw this scene.

She was practicing magic, and possessed the top-level magic physique of the 'Cainv Suyin Body'. The magic energy in front of her was the best nourishment for her. Even if she absorbed more magic energy, there would be no disadvantage of magic energy filling her brain and causing her to lose her mind.
