Mortal's Purple Sky Cave Heaven

Chapter 383: Master Hanli, Palace Master Liu
This ice city looks sparkling and emitting colorful light under the sun, which looks very extraordinary.

However, Nie Zhaonan's gaze did not linger on the Ice City for long, but fell on the huge mountain behind the Ice City.

Compared to ordinary people, this mountain is naturally very large, and it seems to be ten thousand feet high. But compared with the behemoth like Kunwu Mountain, it is of course nothing.

This mountain is as straight as a giant pillar, but because it is located in this extremely cold place, the surface of the mountain is covered with a thick layer of ice, which is crystal clear.

With the supernatural power of his spiritual eyes, Nie Zhaonan only needed a few flashes of blue light in his eyes to cross a distance of thousands of feet and see the scene on the top of the iceberg clearly.

There, there was a colorful complex of buildings, which looked like the so-called Beiye Xiaoji Palace.

Just as Nie Zhaonan arrived outside the Ice City and revealed his figure, several beams of light shot out from the Ice City and flew towards his location.

Just as Nie Zhaonan took a quick look at Beiye Xiaoji Palace and then withdrew his gaze, the several rays of light also appeared before his eyes.

There were three white-shirted monks, one man and two women. The man was a Jindan cultivator, but the two women were only at the Foundation Establishment stage.

The man was over thirty years old, with a handsome face. After taking a quick glance at Nie Zhaonan, he quickly bowed and saluted with a look of surprise:
"I am Chen Yun, the steward of the outer palace. May I ask your name, senior? What is the important matter that you come to this palace for?"

This cultivator from Beiye Xiaoji Palace saw Nie Zhaonan flying out from the wind and snow at a speed as fast as lightning from afar, and he knew that the other party was not an ordinary cultivator.

But he was really sure that the other party was indeed a Nascent Soul cultivator, and a genuine late Nascent Soul cultivator at that. This really made him nervous.

Such people must be taken seriously by the Palace Master and the Grand Elder of Beiye Xiaoji Palace.

Before Nie Zhaonan could say anything, a beautiful female cultivator who had been silently observing Nie Zhaonan for a while couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Senior Nie Nie!"

There was horror in her voice, as well as a hint of surprise.

"Oh?" Nie Zhaonan raised his eyebrows and looked at the female cultivator who spoke, "Do you know me?"

Hearing this, the man who was about to scold the beautiful female cultivator immediately closed his mouth, and as if he had thought of something, he looked at Nie Zhaonan with shock in his eyes.

Another female cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage also looked up with a look of disbelief. It was obvious that she also wondered who the young cultivator in front of her was.

"The senior has achieved unparalleled cultivation and killed the ancestor of the Divine Transformation Realm. He is feared by the entire Dajin cultivation world and is the undisputed number one cultivator in the human world. Any cultivator who is slightly more informed knows the senior's name." The beautiful female cultivator said cautiously.

"They are just some false names." Nie Zhaonan said calmly with a faint expression.

"Senior Nie, this is not the place to talk. Please come into the palace and have a chat." The man looked extremely nervous and spoke quickly in a flattering tone.

According to the rules of Beiye Xiaoji Palace, even if a Nascent Soul cultivator comes to visit, he must wait outside the Ice City and wait for the Nascent Soul elders in the palace to come and lead him before he can enter the palace.

But Nie Zhaonan's identity and reputation were there, so the deacon named Chen Yun naturally didn't dare to let Nie Zhaonan wait here.

He believed that even if the elders in the palace knew what he had done, they would not blame him at all.

While speaking, he released two sound transmission notes in front of Nie Zhaonan, apparently to notify the two great cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage in Beiye Xiaoji Palace.

"Please come this way." The three people led the way in front, and Nie Zhaonan just followed leisurely with a calm expression.

Soon, a group of people flew to the entrance of the Ice City, and the light of light dimmed and fell one after another.

At the city gate, there were more than a dozen monks in white clothes guarding there.

The highest level of their cultivation was only at the foundation-building stage. When they saw Chen Yun coming, they immediately stood on both sides with their hands behind their backs, calling him "Uncle Master Chen" repeatedly.

Chen Yun nodded and walked over. But after taking a few steps, Chen Yun suddenly paused and looked back.

"Senior Nie?" Seeing Nie Zhaonan standing there without moving, his eyes looking into the depths of the city, Chen Yun became a little confused.

But just as Chen Yun blinked and was about to ask something with a smile on his face, at this moment, a dazzling white rainbow shot out from the depths of the Ice City and headed straight for Nie Zhaonan.

As a result, after the white rainbow flashed a few times, a clear and pleasant laugh came out from inside.

"Senior Nie came to visit Xiaoji Palace, and I did not go out to greet you. I hope that this is impolite, and I hope you will forgive me."

The light faded, and a female cultivator with snow-white skin and a beautiful face appeared in front of Nie Zhaonan.

"Fellow Daoist Bai, you and I are old acquaintances, so we can just address each other as fellow Daoist." Nie Zhaonan narrowed his eyes and looked at the person in front of him. This person was none other than Bai Yaoyi who had left Kunwu Mountain long ago.

"Senior, you are joking. Seriously speaking, your status is even higher than that of an old ancestor in the Spirit Transformation Stage. How dare I, a junior, be disrespectful?" Bai Yaoyi smiled, but felt extremely bitter in her heart.

Before Nie Zhaonan showed the strength of a Divine Transformation cultivator, she could still address Nie Zhaonan as a fellow Taoist. But now that is no longer possible. This is also because she and Nie Zhaonan had only traveled together for some time in the Yin-Yang Cave and Kunwu Mountain and they did not have a very good relationship.

At the same time, the fantasy in her heart, which was already difficult to realize, became completely impossible.

Bai Yaoyi felt a little regretful. She wondered why she had not been braver at the beginning. Perhaps her relationship with Nie Zhaonan would have been a little different, but now it was too late.

"Just follow Brother Bai's wishes." Knowing that the gap in status between the two was too great, Nie Zhaonan did not dwell on the matter too much.

"Senior, this is your first time to visit our Xiaoji Palace. Let me introduce the situation in the palace to you. Please come in." Bai Yaoyi was also a person of strong will. She quickly calmed down her turbulent mood, led the way, and spoke softly.

Nie Zhaonan smiled slightly and said that it was okay.

So the two of them walked into the ice city.

The main street in the ice city is straight and extremely wide, and the ground is also covered with a thick layer of ice, connecting everywhere.

From a distance, there were not many people on the street, most of them were low-level monks wearing yellow and white clothes.

On both sides of the street, ice houses are neatly arranged. It would be more appropriate to call it a castle rather than a city.

"This ice city is the outskirts of Beiye Xiaoji Palace, where many outer palace monks live and practice. The core of Beiye Xiaoji Palace is right above." As she spoke, Bai Yaoyi turned into a beam of light and flew straight to the giant mountain from a low altitude. Nie Zhaonan's expression changed, and he followed without saying a word.

After a while, the two of them landed on an ice platform on the hillside of the giant mountain.

"Next, we will walk up the mountain. Because from now on it belongs to the inner palace. According to palace rules, flying is not allowed in the inner palace. Please forgive me, Senior Nie." Bai Yaoyi smiled, fearing that Nie Zhaonan would be dissatisfied, and explained softly.

"When I come here to visit, I naturally have to abide by the rules of Xiaoji Palace." Nie Zhaonan nodded slightly to show his understanding.

Then, the two of them slowly walked up along a crystal ice ladder that led up to the platform.

After seeing the two figures completely disappear, the monks from Beiye Xiaoji Palace who had been secretly watching them withdrew their gazes and started talking.

"Who is this senior? Even Uncle Master Bai needs to call himself a junior. Could he be a Divine Transformation cultivator?"

"A Divine Transformation cultivator? I don't think so. This senior is too young."

"Uncle Chen, who exactly is this senior?"

"Who is he? Although this is the first time you have met him, you must have heard of this senior's name. You should know who killed the demon Hu."

"It's him!"

"It's that senior!"

After a brief exchange, the monks from Beiye Xiaoji Palace who were present were all shocked when they learned of Nie Zhaonan's identity. Some of them even lost their balance and staggered.

He is recognized as the number one cultivator in Dajin!
In a white and misty hall, the temperature inside was so high that the breath would turn into ice.

If Nie Zhaonan were here, he would find that the entire hall was made of a kind of translucent jade, and the surface emitted a hint of cold light. These jades were actually thousand-year-old black ice that was rarely seen in the outside world.

Although Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice is not as valuable as Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Jade, it is also an extremely rare ice-attribute refining material because it is called "Ten Thousand Years".

On two cushions in the hall, a beautiful middle-aged woman in a white shirt and a three-foot-tall dwarf were sitting opposite each other.

This beautiful middle-aged woman is naturally the Palace Master of Beiye Xiaoji Palace.

The dwarf with deep wrinkles on his face, long snow-white beard and wearing a blue robe is the Grand Elder of Beiye Xiaoji Palace, Master Hanli.

At this time, the two most powerful late Nascent Soul cultivators in Beiye Xiaoji Palace gathered here.

"Since the old demon Hu was killed, Nie Zhaonan has been silent for a long time and has not made any other noise in recent years. Why did he suddenly come to our Beiye Xiaoji Palace at this time?" The beautiful woman asked calmly. Her voice was a little mature, but there was an indescribable magnetism contained in it.

Hearing this, Master Hanli shook his head repeatedly, his expression solemn, and said word by word:

"I have never met Nie Zhaonan, so how can I know what he is thinking?"

"But no matter what he wants to do, we can't offend him. After all, everyone knows what happened to Hu Lao Mo. Even if the Heavenly Demon Sect is still lingering, most of the Yuanying and Jindan cultivators in the sect have defected to other sects. It won't be long before the Heavenly Demon Sect completely disappears from Dajin."

"This person's current deterrent power in Dajin has far exceeded that of a Spiritual Transformation cultivator. After all, a Spiritual Transformation cultivator is still wary of using all his strength and will lose a lot of his lifespan, while Nie Zhaonan is just a cultivator of the same level as me, so he doesn't need to worry about the loss of his lifespan."

"I think so too. We must not offend him. However, it has been a thousand years since the last monster invasion, and the Ten Thousand Monsters Valley is already ready to make a move. On the outskirts of Beiming Island, many disciples have discovered traces of low-level monsters. Among the several batches of disciples who were recently recruited and returned to the palace, there have also been cases of disciples being possessed by transformed monster cultivators. At this time, I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse for Nie Zhaonan to come to my Xiaoji Palace." The beautiful woman raised her eyebrows and spoke in a sinister voice.

"It seems that Nie Zhaonan has chosen a good time and comes well prepared." A strange light flashed in Master Hanli's eyes and he sighed heavily.

"The most precious things in our Beiye Xiaoji Palace are just those two imitation spiritual treasures. The ten thousand year old black jade is also in the black jade cave. It cannot be taken out without the Yin water. What else can attract him?" The beautiful woman also had a bad premonition and said thoughtfully.

"I do have some ideas." Master Hanli said calmly without changing his expression.

"Oh, just tell me what you want to say." The beautiful woman asked with sparkling eyes.

After hesitating for a moment, Master Hanli said in a very affirmative tone:

"Have you forgotten the space node in the Void Spirit Palace? The reason why Patriarch Bingpo founded the Beiye Xiaoji Palace here was largely because of that space node. You should know that such a stable space node is probably the only one in the entire human world. Now that the Divine Transformation cultivators cannot improve their cultivation to the late stage of Divine Transformation and ascend to the upper realm on their own, the space node in the Void Spirit Palace is undoubtedly even more important."

"With Nie Zhaonan's current cultivation and strength, it is certain that he will advance to the Spiritualization Stage in the future. It is only natural for him to make plans to enter the upper realm in advance and come to my Beiye Xiaoji Palace."

"Besides that, I can't think of anything else that would attract him."

"Brother Hanli's analysis is very reasonable. Although we tried our best to conceal the existence of the space node, countless years have passed, and there are always some accidents. It is impossible that there is no news at all." The beautiful woman's expression changed from gloomy to bright for a long time.

"Let's go and meet this senior master in the Nascent Soul stage to see what his plans are." Master Hanli stood up from the cushion and walked slowly out of the hall.

The beautiful woman was silent for a while. When she saw the short figure of Master Hanli disappear at the end of the hall, she stomped her feet and turned into a beam of light and shot away into the air.

At this time, Nie Zhaonan had followed Bai Yaoyi through several restrictions and entered the Hanli Secret Realm.

"Those buildings on the top of the mountain that look like palaces are actually just for the low-level disciples of the inner palace to practice and live in. The real high-level inner palace disciples actually live in this Hanli Secret Realm. This is the real location of our Xiaoji Palace." In a passage, Bai Yaoyi explained softly to Nie Zhaonan.

The passage is not long, only about a hundred feet.

When Nie Zhaonan walked out of the passage and glanced forward, even though he had expected it, he still couldn't help being a little surprised.

Although this place is inside an iceberg, it is a fully enclosed valley surrounded by lush greenery, birdsong and flowers.

There are exotic flowers and plants planted everywhere, the sun is shining, and it is like spring all year round. There is no sign of any cold and desolate place.

The area here is several miles wide, and is surrounded by green mountain walls on all sides, but half leaning against the mountain walls, there are pavilions and terraces built, which are exquisite.
