Mortal's Purple Sky Cave Heaven

Chapter 273 News
"You are not bad looking, you are barely qualified to be my bed warmer." Ling Yuling looked up and down at the girl's beautiful appearance and said with a smile on her lips.

There were many sisters in the cave, and she finally had some time to be alone with her husband. She had deliberately chosen this sparsely populated place, but she was disturbed by outsiders. Naturally, she was very unhappy.

"Bed-warming maid!" The girl's face changed, her joy disappeared, and she was full of anger: "How dare you be so disrespectful to this princess, this princess will..."

"What are you going to do to me?" Ling Yuling said with a wicked smile, as she didn't even take a princess seriously.

"You." The girl gritted her teeth.

"Mingzhu, don't be rude." A majestic voice came from the carriage, interrupting the girl's words.

"Daddy, why are you helping outsiders?" The girl turned around and said in a dissatisfied voice to the inside of the car.

Usually, her father doted on her very much. Even when she plucked the feathers of the black phoenix while it was sleeping, she had never been scolded so harshly.

"My two fellow Taoists, please get in the car and have a chat." The person in the car invited, as if he didn't hear the girl's complaint.

Feeling the strong cultivation level of the person in the car, Nie Zhaonan entered the car with some interest, and Ling Yuling naturally followed suit.

The space inside the carriage is not small, with couches on all four sides and a small table in the middle. It can easily accommodate seven or eight people and is much larger than it looks from the outside.

This is a tall middle-aged man with a long beard and a white robe. He has amazing spiritual energy and has apparently reached the late Nascent Soul stage.

Nie Zhaonan narrowed his eyes inadvertently, feeling a little surprised. He didn't expect to meet a cultivator of the same level so easily.

While Nie Zhaonan was looking at the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man also glanced at Nie Zhaonan. After discovering that Nie Zhaonan looked so young and his cultivation level was somewhat unclear, a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

But he soon smiled and said, "My name is Liang Yu. I don't know your names, fellow Taoists."

When he heard the man introduce himself and that his daughter was a princess, Nie Zhaonan immediately understood the identity of the person in front of him.

"I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Liang is one of the four great independent cultivators of the Great Jin Dynasty. I have heard of you for a long time. My name is Nie Zhaonan, and this is my Taoist partner Ling Yuling." Nie Zhaonan clasped his fists politely and spoke truthfully.

With his current level of cultivation, there is really no need to hide his identity.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Nie and Fellow Daoist Ling. The title of the Four Great Independent Cultivators means nothing. It's just a favor from you fellow Daoists." Liang Yu also responded, speaking politely.

Following Nie Zhaonan's introduction, Ling Yuling beside him suddenly had a flash of spiritual light and returned to her original appearance.

When the girl named Mingzhu saw Ling Yuling's peerless beauty, she lowered her head in shame, only to feel even more embarrassed as she looked at the flat chest.

"It's so abominable. She is so handsome, but she pretends to be a man to seduce an ignorant girl like me." Mingzhu thought viciously in her heart, completely treating herself as a victim.

It would have been fine if she had suffered a loss before, but now she couldn't even compare to the appearance that women care about most. Mingzhu was naturally in a very bad mood and sulked to herself.

Ling Yuling glanced at the insecure girl and stopped paying too much attention to her. She naturally would not bother with a junior.

"Fellow Daoist Nie is also a late-stage cultivator!" Liang Yu said in surprise, feeling Nie Zhaonan's aura no longer concealed.

Even the Taoist companion beside him is in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, so his own cultivation level is naturally not too low. However, Liang Yu could never have imagined that he is a cultivator in the late stage of the Nascent Soul. Although it seems that he has only advanced to the advanced stage not long ago, it is still amazing enough.

When did such a young late-stage cultivator appear in the Great Jin Dynasty? Liang Yu asked in confusion, "You two have such profound cultivation. I wonder where you cultivated in the past? You must have been diligent practitioners and rarely made friends with other practitioners. Otherwise, I would not have any impression of you, even though I believe I am well-informed."

Ling Yuling had a strange look on her face. It was true that she was an ascetic, but her husband did not deserve such a title. After all, she and her sisters took turns to accompany him. How could it be considered as asceticism to be accompanied by a beautiful woman?

Nie Zhaonan laughed when he heard that the other party was trying to trick him.

He was well prepared, and said calmly: "It's not surprising that you don't know. My husband and I have always traveled around, and this is our first time in Dajin."

"Traveling in the human world, you two Taoist friends are really enjoying themselves. People like us who practice Taoism should be like this. It's really something we yearn for." Who didn't have such a dream when they were young? Liang Yu sighed with a look of nostalgia and some regret.

"Brother Daoist Liang, you are too kind. I don't dare to say that I have traveled all over the human world. I have only left some footprints overseas, in the Mulan Grassland and in the farther south." Nie Zhaonan waved his hand and said.

"That alone is astonishing enough. I have heard of the places you mentioned a long time ago. The cultivation methods in each place are also unique, very different from those of us cultivators in Dajin. I wonder if you would be so kind as to exchange your cultivation experiences with me." Liang Yu was startled, then said with anticipation.

"Of course." Meeting a cultivator of the same level from Dajin for the first time, Nie Zhaonan agreed immediately as he also wanted to understand the characteristics of cultivation in this place.

Liang Yu flipped his sleeves, and a pot of spiritual tea appeared in his hand: "Let's drink and talk."

Looking at the spiritual tea on the table, Nie Zhaonan didn't say much, but just took out some spiritual fruits.

So they stayed in this carriage, sipping spiritual tea, eating spiritual fruits, and exchanging their experiences in cultivation.

On the way, Liang Yu asked Nie Zhaonan where he was going. After hearing that he had no purpose for the trip, Liang Yu invited Nie Zhaonan to travel with him, so as to show his hospitality. Liang Yu was also a very sociable person. Nie Zhaonan felt very comfortable talking to him and agreed without hesitation.

Then the horse-like monster pulled the carriage and galloped away again. The strange thing was that although the official road was rugged and bumpy, the people sitting in the carriage did not feel any bumps, as if they were always still.

Liang Yu was worthy of being a casual cultivator who had reached the late Nascent Soul stage. The experience he shared in cultivation was quite unique and gave Nie Zhaonan a lot of inspiration.

When Nie Zhaonan was explaining his experience in cultivation, Liang Yu's eyes were unusually bright, showing that he had benefited a lot.

After exchanging experiences, Liang Yu mentioned the customs and habits of Dajin, the distribution of power, and the various sects with extraordinary enthusiasm.

Da Jin lived up to its reputation as a holy place for cultivation in the human world. Nie Zhaonan also learned from Liang Yu that the methods of cultivation here are not simply divided into the magic path and the righteous path. Among the righteous sects, there are three major categories: Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism.

Taoism focuses on practicing Taoism, Buddhism practices Buddhism while also cultivating the body. The most bizarre of these is naturally Confucianism, and the monks who practice Confucian techniques.

While cultivating their magical powers, these monks also read a lot of poetry and books, just to cultivate something called righteousness. For Confucian monks, this thing is like a panacea. As long as there is enough righteousness, improving magical powers and breaking through cultivation is as easy as eating.

"The most mysterious among the four wandering cultivators is Fellow Daoist Yi Xitian. He has already advanced to the late Nascent Soul stage for many years. It is said that he practices the Confucian techniques and his supernatural powers are unfathomable. Even I, Liang, am not as good as him. He is also one of the two people in Dajin who has the greatest hope of advancing to the God Transformation stage." When talking about Confucianism, Liang Yu couldn't help but say.

"I see that fellow Daoist has already achieved perfection in his cultivation, and there is still hope for him to advance to the Divine Transformation stage." Nie Zhaonan glanced at Liang Yu and said lightly.

"I consider myself to be a person of extraordinary talent, but that is only compared with ordinary cultivators. I cannot be compared with Fellow Daoist Yi Xitian at all. Moreover, I have been stuck in this realm for two or three hundred years, and have long given up the thought of advancing again. Fellow Daoist is still young, and perhaps he will be able to break through the bottleneck and become a Divine Transformation cultivator." Liang Yu said with a wry smile.

Although he didn't know how old Nie Zhaonan was, he couldn't see any signs of old age in him. Liang Yu naturally guessed that Nie Zhaonan still had plenty of time to live.

"Advancing to the God Transformation stage is extremely difficult. Natural resources and treasures that assist in the advancement are indispensable. However, treasures that can help break through the bottleneck of the God Transformation stage are not so easy to obtain." Nie Zhaonan said half-truthfully.

Because he practiced the Taiyi Divine Thunder Art, his magic power was not only extremely powerful, but also extremely condensed. Even without the help of external objects, he had a 30% chance of advancing to the divine realm.

After completing his magic power training in the cave, Nie Zhaonan tried to break through to the God Transformation stage. The bottleneck was indeed loose and not as solid as described in ancient books. He had a hunch that as long as he tried a few more times, he would be able to break through to the God Transformation stage within a hundred years without the help of other external objects.

"I know a piece of news. Right now there is an opportunity to help us break through to the God Transformation Realm." Suddenly, Liang Yu's expression changed and he said seriously.

"This is just the first time I've met you, and we don't have a deep friendship. Why did you tell me about this opportunity?" Nie Zhaonan's face flashed with joy, but he quickly regained his composure and said lightly.

"Fellow Daoist Nie, there is no need to think too much. This news will spread quickly. With your level of cultivation, you will know about it soon. I told you this just to establish a good relationship with you. I have no other intention. Of course, if Fellow Daoist Nie can compete with me for this opportunity, that would be great. After all, the 'Divine Sand of Creation' has appeared in the world, and there will definitely be many cultivators from both the righteous and evil paths going there. We, the independent cultivators, are really outnumbered and weak." Liang Yu said with a serious face.

“The Divine Sand of Creation!” Ling Yuling’s face showed shock, and she asked in disbelief, “Is it that the heaven-defying thing that allows cultivators like me to sense the vitality of heaven and earth? Doesn’t this thing only exist in the classics and has long been extinct in the human world?”

Different from the spiritual energy that cultivators can sense, the vital energy of heaven and earth is a mysterious thing that can only be sensed by cultivators above the Spirit Transformation stage. The reason why Nascent Soul cultivators cannot control the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is because they cannot sense heaven and earth.

"I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Ling knew so much about this thing." Liang Yu replied, and then slowly explained:
"It is indeed the 'Divine Sand of Creation'. After refining the Divine Sand of Creation, although it can only allow cultivators like me to have a vague sense of the vital energy of heaven and earth, which is far inferior to a true Divine Transformation cultivator, it is enough to increase the success rate of our advancement to the Divine Transformation by 10%."

Listening to the words in his ears, Nie Zhaonan's eyes were filled with some confusion: When did the magical sand of creation appear in Dajin?

In his memory, this thing had never appeared in Dajin, so he asked for confirmation: "Fellow Daoist Liang, can you tell me in detail?"

"It's understandable that Fellow Daoist Nie doesn't believe it. When I first heard the news, I was just as skeptical as you are." Liang Yu was not at all surprised at Nie Zhaonan's expression of disbelief.

Then he opened his mouth and explained slowly: "I also learned the news from Fellow Daoist Yi Xitian. Three days ago, an astonishing spiritual energy fluctuation suddenly came from the Yellow Wind Desert, one of the seven forbidden places of the Great Jin Dynasty, accompanied by a violent turbulence of the vitality of heaven and earth. Later, after investigation, we found out that there was a place in the Yellow Wind Desert where the souls were sealed by ancient cultivators. When the seal was broken, a grain of divine sand of creation was blown out and obtained by someone. This is not all. There is still a lot of divine sand under the seal, but because of the ancient restrictions on the sealed soul land, the divine sand cannot be taken out. However, as the restrictions are attacked by many cultivators, it will not take long to break the restrictions."

"Speaking of which, after sending my daughter to a safe place, I should also go and take a look. Otherwise, I will not be willing to miss this opportunity." After saying this last sentence, Liang Yu looked at the girl beside him with a loving face.

After hearing this, Nie Zhaonan didn't find anything wrong with the words. He immediately believed them about 70% and agreed to the proposal of joining forces.

So after arriving at a forest and the girl being picked up by a woman, Nie Zhaonan and his three companions, led by Liang Yu, headed towards the northwest corner of Da Jin.

The Yellow Wind Desert is located in the northwest corner of Dajin and has existed since ancient times.

This desert is as vast as half a state. Apart from the yellowish sand all over the ground and the yellow wind that often blows through the sky, even the sky is obscured and almost no other color can be seen.

In an area stretching for who knows how many tens of thousands of miles, thirty monks surrounded a forbidden light shield that was dozens of feet in size and attacked it non-stop.

These thirty monks were vaguely divided into two groups, one group wearing black clothes and the other wearing snow-white robes.

But what was surprising was that all of these people had the Nascent Soul cultivation level, and the ancient magic spells they used were also incredibly powerful. However, when they fell on the khaki light shield, they did not have much effect and only caused waves of ripples. However, after a few yellow winds blew onto the light curtain, the light curtain instantly recovered by more than half.

An old Taoist priest in green robe, with white hair and red face, frowned deeply at the scene in front of him: "This restriction can actually absorb the spiritual wind in the desert to repair itself. This is really troublesome."
