Mortal's Purple Sky Cave Heaven

Chapter 381: Fire Thunder
However, when talking about what happened on the ninth floor of the Demon Suppression Tower, Bing Feng showed some hatred towards Yin Yue, as if she had suffered a great loss.

Xin Ruyin just smiled sweetly, without saying anything good for Yin Yue. She could tell that Bing Feng had no hatred towards Yin Yue, but she was bullied too badly and had some resentment in her heart. When the two of them got to know each other better and had a good relationship, these resentments would naturally disappear.

Just when Xin Ruyin was about to ask something else, a burst of unusually joyful laughter came from a secret retreat room somewhere in the distance.

"It was worth my long period of seclusion. I finally refined this fire." The loud laughter in the cave gradually subsided and finally stopped.

Afterwards, Nie Zhaonan's figure emerged silently in the pavilion.

"Brother Nie."

"Husband."

Bingfeng and Xin Ruyin looked happy.

Nie Zhaonan nodded slightly at the two girls, then moved and sat between them.

"Brother Nie, you successfully fused the Sun Essence Fire and the Moon True Fire so quickly?" Bing Feng asked with some interest, her tone sounding somewhat incredulous.

Even if she had reached the Spirit Transformation Stage, it would still take her several years to refine both the Sun Essence Fire and the Moon True Fire.

Hearing the meaning of Bing Feng's words, Nie Zhaonan explained:

"It might take other people several years or even decades to refine the Sun's Essence Fire and merge it with the Moon's True Fire, but the technique I practice is very powerful, so it naturally greatly shortens this time."

As he spoke, Nie Zhaonan spread out one hand, and after a flash of silver light, a small bird appeared in the palm of his hand. Its entire body was silver, its feathers were extremely clear, and it emitted a charming halo.

"After the two true spirit flames merged, yin and yang complemented each other, and the benefits were indeed far beyond imagination. At least the spirit flames in this world cannot be compared with it, even my own cold flame is the same." Seeing the power of the spirit flame, Bing Feng's tone became surprised.

"Of course. Now this firebird can be called the fairy flame. Even in the spiritual world, there are not many spiritual flames that can compare with it. Its potential is enormous." Looking at the fairy firebird in his hand, Nie Zhaonan looked complacent.

"With the fairy firebird, my husband will be able to refine the Huiyang Water. In this way, after I take it, I will be able to live hundreds of years longer. I won't have to worry about lack of lifespan for a long time in the future." A strange light flashed in Xin Ruyin's clear eyes.

"The Huiyang Water can indeed be refined, but it is not for your use." Nie Zhaonan glanced at Xin Ruyin, and as if her thoughts were seen through, Xin Ruyin looked sullen.

How could he not understand Xin Ruyin's little thoughts? Naturally, he would not give her the Huiyang Water, giving her an excuse to neglect her practice.

He refined the Huiyang Water only to revive the Xuantian Immortal Vine. As for the problem of insufficient life span, neither he nor his fellow Taoists would worry about it.

After all, with the help of the 'Nine Cold Mysterious Pill' that can increase the chance of breaking through the bottleneck of the God Transformation Stage by 30%, as well as the 'Divine Sand of Creation' and the 'Demon Yuan Pill' found in the storage bag of Hu Lao Mo, breaking through the God Transformation Stage may be extremely difficult for other cultivators, but for Nie Zhaonan and his fellow Taoists, it is definitely a piece of cake.

Moreover, after entering the Spirit Transformation Stage, Nie Zhaonan can also ripen the Seven Clouds Lotus to 100,000 years old, making it produce Seven Clouds Lotus seeds and refine the "Seven Clouds Pill".

With this amazing elixir to improve one's cultivation, and its special effect of continuously refining ten of them to break through the bottleneck, it is only natural to successfully raise one's realm to the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation.

By that time, Nie Zhaonan and his fellow Taoists would no longer have to worry about their lifespan.

After flirting with Bingfeng and Xin Ruyin for a while, Nie Zhaonan collected the fairy firebird and left Zixiao Cave.

At the same time, in the crater where the sun's fire was captured, Nie Zhaonan's figure emerged silently.

As soon as Nie Zhaonan appeared, he was thinking about something when he suddenly sensed something and looked up at the red mist in the sky.

The reason why this place is one of the seven forbidden areas of Dajin is naturally not only because of the high temperature that ordinary cultivators cannot bear, but also because it is a little bit dangerous.

In this mountain range shrouded in red fog, there live many unimaginable fire-attributed monsters, including many high-level monsters of level six or seven.

Because the Fire Prison Forbidden Land was filled with fire-attributed spiritual energy, the monsters here naturally thrived like fish in water. Once surrounded by more than a dozen high-level monsters, even an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator would probably perish.

Before, Nie Zhaonan had not provoked these monsters because they completely restrained their breath and hid their bodies in order to avoid startling the sun's fire.

With a strange cry, a dark shadow suddenly rushed out from the depths of the fog.

This was a red monster bird that was several meters long, with a pair of blue monster eyes as big as fists, a purple crown on its head, and it flapped its wings as it swooped down towards Nie Zhaonan below with great momentum.

Nie Zhaonan's eyes flashed coldly, he raised one hand, pointed his sword finger upward, and pointed at him.

A golden light flashed at the fingertips, and a flash of red-gold sword energy shot out and instantly pierced into the head of the monster bird. Blood splattered and the head exploded.

The evil bird died instantly and fell straight down, but even in death, there was still a fierce look in its blue eyes.

This is not surprising. Fire-attributed monsters are much more ferocious and violent than monsters of other attributes.

Nie Zhaonan didn't care much and just released a few more sword lights.

The sound of "puff puff" breaking through the air was heard one after another. After a flash of sword light, it pierced through every part of the body of the monster bird, and separated its materials at the right position.

After putting all the good refining materials such as demon pills, wings, and claws into the storage bag, Nie Zhaonan suddenly had an idea and a three-color shield appeared to protect himself.

Then, he moved his shoulders and sank into the red, flowing lava with a plop.

As he went deeper into the lava, the surrounding magma became hotter and hotter, but it was still within the tolerance of the three-color light curtain. Nie Zhaonan continued to dive with a calm expression.

Along the way, the monsters appeared more and more frequently, and their strength was much stronger. However, these monsters were easily killed by Nie Zhaonan in just one or two moves.

Among them, a fire python several dozen feet long was extremely powerful. It was proficient in the art of fire escape and its body was like a solid wall. If it were an ordinary cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage, he would have died in its mouth.

But with Nie Zhaonan's current cultivation, this fire python was naturally not worth mentioning. He just opened his mouth and spurted out a three-inch Gengjin Divine Thunder Sword, and killed the seemingly difficult fire python with lightning speed, without it even being able to react.

However, after going a little deeper, the monsters that appeared frequently disappeared, and Nie Zhaonan finally encountered the first trouble in the true sense of the word.

At this moment, dozens of feet away in front of him, a ball of light about ten feet in size was emitting a dazzling light, bright red, and constantly changing.

Sometimes it changes into the form of a tiger or wolf, and sometimes it changes into the appearance of a monster bird. It has no real fixed form at all, as if it is an invisible creature.

Nie Zhaonan looked at this thing with great interest. His expression changed suddenly and he raised his hand, and several golden sword energies slashed out continuously.

A flash of golden light passed by and easily cut the object into several pieces. The object was like tofu and had no defense at all.

But once the sword energy dissipated, the scattered red light automatically moved toward the center and returned to its original state effortlessly.

"Just as the rumors said, this Fire Demon Spirit is really troublesome. Although the sword light I released just now was just a casual attack, it would have no difficulty killing an ordinary Nascent Soul early stage cultivator, but it could not cause any substantial damage to the Fire Demon Spirit. No wonder the great Nascent Soul late stage cultivators of the Dajin Dynasty are so afraid of this kind of monster." Nie Zhaonan muttered to himself.

But at this moment, as if angered by Nie Zhaonan's attack, the red light ball on the opposite side changed its shape and turned into a red demon ghost, spewing red flames from its mouth, and pounced on him fiercely.

Nie Zhaonan's face darkened. He raised his hand and a clear bird song sounded. Then a silver light flashed in the palm of his hand, and a small and exquisite fairy firebird emerged.

As soon as the fairy firebird appeared, it spread its wings without hesitation and flew straight towards the red demon opposite.

On the way, the bird grew rapidly in size. In a few flashes, it became several feet long. It opened its mouth and pecked at the red monster.

An astonishing scene appeared. The red demon's head was pecked off and then swallowed into the belly of the fairy firebird.

After just a few consecutive hits, most of the red demon's body was gone, and it was impossible to recover as before.

But this fire spirit didn't seem to be very intelligent, and didn't seem to feel any pain at all. It just kept changing its form subconsciously, trying to get rid of the fairy fire bird.

However, the Fairy Fire Bird's claws had already firmly grasped the Fire Demon Spirit's body, and no matter how it changed, it remained motionless. In just a few breaths, with its sharp beak pecking down again and again, the Fire Demon Spirit's body was soon devoured completely.

Then the fairy firebird let out a long, clear cry, circled, and flew to Nie Zhaonan's shoulder, starting to clean its feathers with its beak.

Nie Zhaonan's eyes flashed with blue light, and he suddenly discovered that the fairy fire was slightly different from before.

"After devouring the Fire Demon Spirit, although the Fairy Fire Bird's aura did not increase significantly, its feathers became more colorful and beautiful. It seems that it has also gained a lot of benefits."

“I just don’t know whether this is a magical power that the Sun Essence Fire itself possesses, or a new ability that was born from the fusion of the Sun Essence Fire and the Moon Essence Fire to become the Immortal Spirit Flame.”

Nie Zhaonan murmured a few words and then didn't think about it any more.

Instead, he reappeared his escaping light and dived deeper into the magma once again. At the same time, he silently practiced the Taiyi Divine Thunder Technique, sensing the direction of what he was looking for.

It is hard to imagine how deep the lava is. Nie Zhaonan dived more than 30,000 feet deep but still did not reach the bottom.

At this time, in addition to the three-color light curtain released by the sacred wood robe, Nie Zhaonan's surface also had a silver flame light shield on the outermost layer, which protected him inside. This way, he could resist the high temperature and scorching magma that even the gods feared.

And along the way, the Immortal Firebird devoured at least seventy or eighty Fire Demon Spirits, if not a hundred, and even included several great cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage.

As a result, the power of the fairy firebird standing on Nie Zhaonan's shoulder was naturally increased. Even if it fought alone, it was more than enough for an ordinary late Nascent Soul cultivator.

However, what made Nie Zhaonan feel a little regretful was that the Fire Evil Spirit’s effect on the Fairy Firebird had its limits after all. It could not allow the Fairy Firebird to continue growing, and its power could only reach this level now.

"Too greedy." Nie Zhaonan smiled bitterly. After calming himself down, he continued to go deeper. The Taiyi Divine Thunder Art's sensitivity to the things below was becoming stronger and stronger.

After nearly half an hour, Nie Zhaonan's feet finally touched the ground again.

The ground looked like just ordinary soil, but after being baked by the hot magma for countless years, it had become harder than magical instruments. It was pitch black all over and looked a little strange.

However, Nie Zhaonan's gaze did not linger on this special ground for long. With a blue light flashing in his eyes, he looked around through the red magma.

This place is actually a small basin with high sides and a depression in the middle, no more than a hundred feet in size.

However, Nie Zhaonan's attention was attracted by something in the center of the basin, where waves of heat were surging. Even with the protection of the flame shield condensed by the fairy firebird, the heat waves still made Nie Zhaonan's face slightly red, his mouth was a little dry and he felt unbearable.

Nie Zhaonan was sure that the only fate for a Nascent Soul cultivator who came here would be to be turned into ashes. Even a Spiritualization cultivator with a higher level of cultivation would not be able to stay here for long.

Thinking of this, Nie Zhaonan continued to move towards the center of the basin.

Gradually, a red object came into Nie Zhaonan's eyes. It was an unknown crystal as big as a head. As he got closer and closer to the red crystal, the strong sensation of the skill made Nie Zhaonan more and more excited.

"It is indeed what I was thinking of." Looking at the crystal so close to him, Nie Zhaonan could not hide the joy on his face and it came out naturally.

The red crystal was transparent and bright, like a gem, emitting a charming halo. But what was even more surprising was that tiny red arcs shot out from the surface of the crystal. These arcs seemed to be burning flames, which looked extremely strange.

"Fire-attributed divine thunder, Bing Fire Divine Thunder! This divine thunder is like a burning flame, fierce and blazing, with the power to burn the sky and boil the sea. It has extremely strong destructive power. Once released, even solid rocks will be melted instantly."

"They are often born from the magma underground, or from the blazing sun in the sky."

Nie Zhaonan stared at the crystal in front of him with excitement in his eyes, recalling the information about the Binghuo Divine Thunder.

"Moreover, this crystal has existed in the underground magma for who knows how many years. Under the nourishment of the high temperature and fiery energy here, the power of Binghuo Shenlei has reached an extremely high level."
