Mortal's Purple Sky Cave Heaven

Chapter 333 It’s over
"It is a bit strange when you think about it. It is somewhat similar to the way my husband uses the Green Thunder Wings to perform the Thunder Escape Technique. But if you think about it carefully, it is very different." Nie Zhaonan was really a little surprised.

Yin Yue didn't say anything, but his face showed a thoughtful look, as if he had thought of something.

"My husband, you can take a look at it." Nie Yingyu flipped her hand, and a green jade slip appeared in her hand, which she then handed to Nie Zhaonan.

Nie Zhaonan also took it with great interest, invaded its spiritual sense into it, and examined it silently.

After taking a quick look at the practice formula of Wood Release Technique, Nie Zhaonan looked directly at the introduction of the 'Wood Spirit Pearl'.

After a while, Nie Zhaonan withdrew his consciousness and exhaled:

"I have never heard of this kind of refining method. Although the refining materials are rare, we have them in our hands. It will be easy to refine them."

"Let me take a look." Yin Yue suddenly said.

"Okay." Nie Zhaonan naturally did not hesitate and handed the jade slip to her.

Nie Ying also looked at Yin Yue expectantly. This sister was born in the spiritual world and her experience should be richer than theirs.

Soon, Yin Yue also browsed through the contents of the jade slip and explained with her red lips:

"The method of refining the 'Wood Spirit Pearl' is somewhat similar to that of refining the Instrument Spirit Root. This pearl should have been discovered by a cultivator with great magical powers by referring to the refining method of the Instrument Spirit Root. This 'Wood Spirit Pearl' can indeed assist cultivators in practicing the Wood Escape Technique. There is nothing wrong with what my sister said before."

Seeing Nie Ying's puzzled expression, Yin Yue continued to speak patiently:
"In order to successfully advance to the realm of refining emptiness, the unity of the five elements is a necessary condition for every cultivator. And the instrument spirit root is a method of refining special instruments as a spirit root, which can make up for the spirit roots that the cultivator does not have, so as to communicate with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth with corresponding attributes. Therefore, it is not impossible that the 'Wood Spirit Pearl' can help cultivators practice the Wood Escape Technique."

Her voice was gentle, without a trace of impatience.

While speaking, Yin Yue returned the jade slip to Nie Ying.

Nie Ying put the jade slip away and said gratefully, "Thank you, Sister Yin Yue, for clearing up my doubts."

"They are just sisters, don't worry about it." Yin Yue said with a smile.

After a brief chat, Nie Zhaonan and the other two walked towards the bookshelf in the attic. They each picked up a jade slip on the shelf, immersed their spiritual consciousness in it, and began to comprehend it silently.

Nie Zhaonan and his party stayed in the Tianfu Sect's library for three days and three nights, without leaving the library even once.

Seeing that Nie Zhaonan and his group of Nascent Soul stage seniors were staying peacefully in the library without any instructions, the old man surnamed Yue naturally breathed a sigh of relief.

His goals have been achieved, and he doesn't want to cause any trouble in the next few days and cause dissatisfaction among his predecessors.

I looked through all the books on talisman making on the second and third floors of the pavilion, and found that there were quite a few unique talisman-making secrets in them.

This actually broadened Nie Zhaonan and his group's horizons. Of course, the one who benefited the most was Chen Qiaoqian, who specialized in talismans.

After this trip, her understanding of talisman making became more profound.

After the matter was settled here, Ling Yuling and Wang Ning also returned to Tianfu Sect. Seeing that all the Taoist companions were present, Nie Zhaonan naturally said goodbye to the old man surnamed Wen and his senior brother Xiang who was still disguised as a Qi Refining disciple, and then prepared to leave with his Taoist companions without hesitation.

Soon, a flying boat suddenly appeared in the air, and then flashed away into the distance as fast as lightning.

On Baizhu Peak, under the shade of a tree, Xiang Zhili lay flat on the ground, watching the flying boat gradually go away.

A leaf fell from the branch, swaying in the air like a lonely boat. Xiang Zhili slowly reached out to catch it. Looking at the withered yellow leaf between his fingers, his eyes were full of contemplation:
"Junior Brother Nie is familiar with the Twin Saints of Heavenly Stars. Fairy Ling is the daughter of the Twin Saints of Heavenly Stars. It seems that Junior Brother Nie has been to the Chaos Star Sea and has a great opportunity. Otherwise, if he had stayed in the barren southern part of the sky to cultivate, he would not have achieved his current terrifying cultivation level so quickly."

"The Chaos Star Sea and the Xutian Palace, those are secret places that even I cannot enter. The magical power of Fairy Bingpo, the founder of Beiye Xiaoji Palace, is too great. She actually created a secret place like the Xutian Palace out of thin air, and was able to block a Divine Transformation cultivator like me from entering. This is not what a Divine Transformation cultivator should have at all." Thinking of the Xutian Palace, Xiang Zhili's voice began to sigh.

According to his guess, the Ice Soul Fairy tens of thousands of years ago should have successfully ascended to the upper realm, and after making great progress in her cultivation, she returned to the human world and then refined the Xutian Palace.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain why the restrictions on the Xutian Palace are so powerful and endless, making it impossible for Xiang Zhili to break through.

After a moment of silence, Xiang Zhili murmured again:
"The first secret treasure of Chaos Star Sea, Xutian Ding, must have fallen into Junior Brother Nie's hands. Xutian Ding should be a spiritual treasure without a doubt, otherwise it would not have been so difficult for the Nascent Soul cultivators who entered Xutian Palace to shake it. I just don't know how powerful Xutian Ding is. Coming from the hands of Fairy Bingpo, the power of this tripod must be great. In this case, it makes sense that Junior Brother Nie can bring a sense of crisis to this old man."

"Junior Brother Nie." Xiang Zhili was about to continue his sigh when he was suddenly interrupted by a voice coming from a distance.

"Junior Brother Li, are you hiding here? Go and take care of the library!" A middle-aged man's voice ordered unceremoniously.

At this moment, Xiang Zhili seemed to wake up from a dream. He threw away the leaves in his hand, jumped up immediately, and ran towards the place where the sound came from with great nimbleness.

And said with a smile:

"Uncle Yang, I'm not lazy. I just learned that Senior Nie has left. I hope you'll forgive me!"

"Okay, I don't mean to blame you, I just want to remind you." Suddenly remembering that this nephew Li had accompanied Senior Nie for a period of time, Uncle Yang looked at the nephew in front of him and his tone immediately became a little kinder.

"Junior brother, I understand." Xiang Zhili did not have a trace of temper and spoke in a respectful voice.

Uncle Yang was naturally curious about the affairs of Junior-Nephew Li and Senior Nie, and asked them in a roundabout way.

Xiang Zhili, a smart man, naturally kept his mouth shut. His answer was just to introduce some information about the library to Senior Nie and recommend a few classic books, nothing else.

Seeing his 'Junior Brother Li' speaking genuinely without any pretense, Uncle Yang also believed it for the most part.

He did not believe what his nephew said, but thought that a Nascent Soul cultivator like Senior Nie would not give benefits to an old cultivator with no future in the Qi Refining Stage for no reason. If he did, it would just be a waste. Later, a Jindan cultivator from the Shayang Sect came to visit, and this Uncle Yang went to receive him in person, while Xiang Zhili returned to his library, holding a jade slip in his hand and contemplating it seriously.

A few days later, along with the news that Nie Zhaonan had left Tianfu Sect, a not-so-small event in the Huayun Prefecture's cultivation world also spread.

A female cultivator with an extremely beautiful appearance suddenly came to the mountain gate of the evil Sha Yang Sect. With her amazing magic power, she easily defeated the only Nascent Soul elder of the Sha Yang Sect in a sparring match, and then floated away.

On the second day, Fengling Sect, which had always been fully supported by Shayang Sect, suddenly moved its market from its original location near Kaijiang Town to a place thousands of miles away.

Not only that, some other small and medium-sized sects were also shocked after hearing about this, and they withdrew their forces one after another, automatically giving up this large area within a distance of thousands of miles centered on Kaijiang Town.

The Yinluo Sect is one of the ten great sects of the Great Jin Dynasty's demonic sects. Unlike other demonic sects that are extremely arrogant and rampant and often stir up trouble, in recent decades, the Yinluo Sect can be said to be very low-key, hiding within the sect's influence and not going out.

On this day, sounds of conversation were heard in the Yinluo Sect's main hall, which had been silent for a long time.

There was no sunlight shining in the hall. Only the dim candlelight on the pillars was swaying. There were faint wisps of dark demonic energy swirling around. The whole hall looked evil and dark.

What was even more shocking was that at the very front of the hall stood five white skeletons, without a trace of flesh on their bodies, completely naked, and extremely creepy.

These five skeletons have a resounding name in Dajin—the Five Demons of One Heart.

The master who was performing the ritual was sitting on the main seat behind them. He was of burly build, with a long black beard, and his face was covered with a layer of black air, making it impossible to see his true appearance.

This person is none other than the great elder of the Yinluo Sect, the old demon Qian.

Below, a middle-aged man with sparse hair and a black robe was respectfully reporting:

"According to the spies, the female cultivator who challenged the Shayang Sect a few days ago was holding our sect's most precious treasure - the Yinluo Banner."

The hall was silent for a while, and then the hoarse voice of the old demon Qian sounded:
"Except for the group of law enforcement elders who followed Sect Master Fang to Tiannan several decades ago, there shouldn't be any law enforcement elders in our sect who have lost the Yinluo Banner over the years, right?"

"So, the person who killed Sect Master Fang and his group was this female cultivator. However, this female cultivator's strength should not be very strong, so she could not have done this." In the back, Old Demon Qian's voice was full of doubt and was extremely cautious.

The middle-aged man in black robe thought for a moment and guessed:
"It's possible that she has a companion. I have ordered the spies to keep an eye on this female cultivator. However, the spies we have planted in the Shayang Sect are only at the Jindan stage and cannot track her at all. Fortunately, this female cultivator seems to have been invited by the Tianfu Sect. He can go to the Tianfu Sect to find out a little bit, and there should be news soon."

"Tian Fu Sect?" Dark energy rolled over the old demon Qian's face, and his voice became serious: "It is said that Nie Zhaonan stayed in Tian Fu Sect for a few days some time ago."

The middle-aged man in black robe nodded and said in a low voice:
"In fact, I suspect that it was Nie Zhaonan who killed Sect Master Fang and his group. According to the elders who returned from Tiannan, Sect Master Fang had a conflict with Nie Zhaonan in Tiannan. However, the Sect Master did not intend to pursue the matter at the time and did not fight with Nie Zhaonan. It is hard to confirm whether Nie Zhaonan was related to the Sect Master's death."

To be honest, even if it was related, they in the Yinluo Sect wouldn't be angry at all.

After all, Nie Zhaonan’s strength has now been exposed. He is a cultivator comparable to a god, and is not someone their Yinluo Sect can afford to provoke.

"I also know this news." Old Demon Qian obviously thought of this as well. The dark energy on his face calmed down and he said calmly:
"Based on the strength Nie Zhaonan showed, it is very likely that this person is the one who killed Sect Master Fang and all the elders of my Yinluo Sect, but we still need to confirm it."

He did not mention at all what to do after confirming that Nie Zhaonan had killed his Yinluo Sect cultivator, and the middle-aged man in black robe tactfully did not ask any further questions.

For a moment, both of them waited silently, and the atmosphere in the hall became stagnant, as if it had frozen.

Suddenly, a black light flashed on the chest of the middle-aged man in black robe, and a token emitting black light flew out by itself. He grabbed it, held the token in his hand, invaded it with his spiritual consciousness, and checked the message conveyed by it.

"Dong Dong Dong" The old demon Qian's thick fingers tapped the handle on one side rhythmically with a calm expression.

"That female cultivator is Nie Zhaonan's Taoist companion, and has already followed Nie Zhaonan out of Tianfu Sect." The middle-aged man in black robe had a dry voice, and it was filled with endless bitterness.

Inside the hall, the sound of Old Demon Qian knocking on the handle suddenly stopped.

Seeing that the great elder hadn't spoken for a long time, the middle-aged man in black robe gritted his teeth and asked:

"Great Elder, what should we do next?"

His voice trembled slightly, and the fear in it could not be concealed at all, but it was unclear whether it was directed at the Great Elder in front of him, or out of fear of Nie Zhaonan.

"Why are you panicking?" said the old demon Qian in a cold voice. "Nie Zhaonan hasn't come to our door for such a long time, which means he doesn't care about this matter. We don't need to care about it either."

After thinking for a while, Qian Lao Mo continued:

"However, I still want to order that our Yinluo Sect should not make any moves in the near future, not even small ones. Everyone should stay in the sect and practice in peace. As for the spies scattered everywhere, tell them not to provoke Nie Zhaonan."

"Yes." The middle-aged man in black robe bowed and agreed, but suddenly he remembered something and asked carefully:
"Then what should we do with the He family in Southern Xinjiang? The He family had originally agreed to join our Yinluo Sect, but when the time came, they changed their minds. If we don't punish the He family, the prestige of our Yinluo Sect will probably drop a lot."

"Under normal circumstances, we would have to exterminate their clan to deter the villains. But now, our Yinluo Sect cannot make a big move and attract the attention of Nie Zhaonan. Let's just pretend that the He family's affairs never happened. I believe they won't dare to spread the news and offend our Yinluo Sect."

The slow words of Demon Qian could be heard from all around the hall; his voice was so vague that it was impossible to tell where he was.

The middle-aged man in black robe suddenly raised his head and looked towards the main seat at the top of the hall, but it was already empty. There was no sign of the old demon Qian anywhere, and the Five Demons had disappeared without a trace at some point, without making any sound.

"I will follow the orders of the Great Elder!" With a nervous heart, the middle-aged man in black robe bowed hastily in agreement.

At the same time, the thought of escaping from Yinluo Sect in his heart completely faded away.
