Mortal's Purple Sky Cave Heaven

Chapter 390 Advanced Divine Transformation
Soon, Bingfeng brought Xiang Zhili and the others to the foot of Kunwu Mountain.

"The spiritual energy here is far richer than that of the outside world. It is worthy of being an ancient fairy mountain. Brother Nie really chose a good place." Old Monster Feng glanced around and couldn't help feeling a little envious.

"Hehehe, Old Monster Feng, your Qingfeng Mountain is just a little smaller, but its spiritual energy is no worse than that of Kunwu Mountain." Xiang Zhili touched his chin and said with a smile.

Suddenly, a strange light flashed in Xiang Zhili's eyes, as if he remembered something, and asked:

"Feng Daoyou, why is Junior Brother Nie in seclusion?"

Bing Feng looked towards the top of Kunwu Mountain, where Nie Zhaonan was in seclusion. Her red lips moved slightly, and when she was about to answer, she suddenly closed her mouth, and a look of joy appeared on her jade face, "It's finally started!"

Xiang Zhili and Feng Laoguai were indeed Divine Transformation cultivators. They both felt the sudden movement on Kunwu Mountain and looked up with surprised expressions.

The next moment, a bolt of thunder suddenly exploded in the sky above Kunwu Mountain.

Then, with the huge Kunwu Mountain as the center, the vitality of heaven and earth in the entire space was touched.

Countless fist-sized spiritual light balls of various colors appeared out of thin air among the nearby mountains, rocks, and trees, and quickly gathered towards the top of Kunwu Mountain.

Finally, a ball of bright spiritual cloud about the size of a mile formed in the sky above the top of Kunwu Mountain. The colorful cloud was slowly rotating in the sky, just right at the place where Nie Zhaonan was in retreat below.

"He's really breaking through to the Spiritual Transformation Stage!" Xiang Zhili looked calm, as if he had expected it.

Old Monster Feng glanced around, then his eyes fell on the huge shining spiritual cloud, and a solemn expression appeared on his face:
"Old Ghost Xiang, didn't you notice that Fellow Daoist Nie Nie's breakthrough made quite a big noise? He actually sucked up all the spiritual energy of the entire Kunwu Mountain in an instant, and the spiritual cloud in the sky was several miles large, which is several times larger than when I broke through!"

For an ordinary Divine Transformation cultivator, being able to gather spiritual clouds of a few mu in size is considered good enough.

"Junior Brother Nie's strength is far beyond that of a Nascent Soul cultivator. It is normal for him to make a big fuss now that he has broken through to the Spirit Transformation stage." Although Xiang Zhili was shocked in his heart, he still spoke calmly.

At the same time, there was an alarming movement in the Zixiao Cave Heaven, which startled Xin Ruyin who was comprehending the formation in the pavilion by the lake, and Nangong Wan who was in seclusion.

The two women rose into the air with a flash of light on their bodies, looking at the strange phenomenon in the sky with surprise.

The wisps of pure spiritual energy in the cave were visible to the naked eye, but now they were gathering towards the sky like a whale drinking water, and in the blink of an eye, they formed a spiritual cloud several miles in size.

Xiang Zhili and Feng Laoguai were already extremely shocked when they saw the abnormality on Kunwu Mountain. If they saw this scene again, they would probably be so shocked that they would be speechless and would be extremely respectful to Nie Zhaonan.

After all, the strange phenomenon during the breakthrough can also indirectly reflect the strength of the person who has made the breakthrough. Through the strange phenomenon, they can naturally roughly judge the gap in strength between them and Nie Zhaonan.

"The noise of my husband's breakthrough is really shocking." Xin Ruyin stared at the huge spiritual cloud that was changing not far away, her bright eyes flashing.

Beside her, Nangong Wan, dressed in a white snow-white dress, stood in the air with her, her body spotless, like a fairy from the Moon Palace.

"This commotion was somewhat beyond my expectations. Fortunately, you personally set up the restrictions in the secret room where Yuling and the others are in seclusion, otherwise, they would have been disturbed at this moment." Although she had expected the scene before her, Nangong Wan's eyes were still slightly surprised.

As for the five girls mentioned by Nangong Wan, Ling Yuling, Wang Ning, Yuan Yao, Chen Qiaoqian and Nie Ying, they were naturally in seclusion in the cave at this time to refine the Nascent Soul Pill, so that they could take advantage of the benefits of the pill on the Nascent Soul and break through to the late Nascent Soul stage in one fell swoop.

"Success!" Xin Ruyin, who had been looking at the spiritual clouds in the sky, looked surprised.

The spiritual cloud, which was several miles in size, suddenly rushed towards a space channel that had just appeared, and its size was shrinking rapidly.

Seeing this, Nangong Wanyu showed a sincere smile on her face, unable to conceal her happiness.

At the same time, in the sky above Kunwu Mountain, a group of glittering spiritual clouds that were several miles in size instantly fell toward the top of Kunwu Mountain below, passing through layers of restrictions and entering Nie Zhaonan’s retreat room without any hindrance.

In the secret room, Nie Zhaonan sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. On his seemingly calm face, there was a five-colored lightning mark between his eyebrows, flickering faintly.

If someone were here, they would find that although the lightning mark has five colors, the red, gold and blue colors are obviously very dazzling.

However, the blue and yellow colors are very dim, and only a faint light can be barely seen.

The presence of such a peculiar mark was naturally a manifestation of Nie Zhaonan's main practice, 'Taiyi Shenlei Jue'.

Because only three sets of natal flying swords, Gengjin Divine Thunder, Yimu Divine Thunder and Binghuo Divine Thunder, have been refined now, the red, gold and green lights will appear to be stronger.

Without the two divine thunders of Gui Water and Wu Earth, the colors blue and yellow naturally appear dim.

However, he has only broken through to the Spirit Transformation Stage now. Even if he has not achieved the Unity of the Five Elements, it will not affect his breakthrough at this time.

The entire secret room was filled with five-colored spiritual clouds. Nie Zhaonan silently practiced his skills and absorbed the spiritual clouds into his body.

The 'Taiyi Divine Thunder Art' is indeed a martial art inherited from Zixiao Cave Heaven. It absorbs spiritual clouds so quickly that a small spiritual energy vortex is formed around Nie Zhaonan.

Gradually, a faint fragrance, like sandalwood or medicine, emanated from Nie Zhaonan's body.

It's really incredible!

Nie Zhaonan could clearly feel that his body was turning into sandalwood and the Nascent Soul in his body was also rapidly transforming.

Time passed little by little, and it was unknown how much time had passed. The spiritual cloud in the secret room had disappeared. Nie Zhaonan, who was sitting cross-legged on the cushion, suddenly shook his body. He clasped his hands together with a solemn expression, slowly opened his eyes, and the five-colored lightning mark between his brows also faded, returning to normal.

With a subconscious sweep of his spiritual sense, the entire Kunwu Mountain was instantly covered. Nie Zhaonan naturally discovered Xiang Zhili and Feng Laoguai. He moved his lips slightly in surprise and transmitted a few words.

After doing this, Nie Zhaonan began to carefully explore the changes in his body.

"It feels good!" Nie Zhaonan clenched his fists tightly, feeling the magic power in his body surging several times and becoming more and more pure, and he couldn't help but reveal a look of joy.

"After advancing to the Spiritual Transformation Stage, the Nascent Soul has been further condensed and can easily resist the squeeze of the power of the world."

“I just don’t know why, the Dragon Roar Body has completely merged with my physical body, the dragon pattern has merged with my Nascent Soul, and my spiritual awareness has also been strengthened as a result.” Nie Zhaonan raised his palm, only to see that the dragon pattern on it had disappeared.

And inside his body, the Nascent Soul, whose appearance was exactly the same as Nie Zhaonan's, was also looking at his own white and tender little hand. On the palm of his small hand, there was a clear blood-red dragon pattern.

After all, the special physique of the Dragon Roar Body did not originally belong to Nie Zhaonan, but was "taken" from Xin Ruyin, so naturally there was some estrangement between it and Nie Zhaonan, and it could not be said to be a perfect match. As time went by, Nie Zhaonan's fit with the Dragon Roar Body naturally improved, but the process was very slow.

But after advancing to the Spirit Transformation Stage, the Dragon Roar Body was completely integrated with Nie Zhaonan, and completely became Nie Zhaonan's physique.

"This Dragon Roar Body doesn't seem to be as simple as recorded in ancient books. It seems to be hiding some secrets that have not been discovered yet."

"Forget it. I can't come up with any answer. Anyway, the Dragon Roar Body is not harmful to me. On the contrary, it is of great benefit to me. There is no need to worry about anything."

After thinking silently for a while, Nie Zhaonan no longer paid attention to the matter of the Dragon Roar Body.

His soul was connected to the Zixiao Cave Heaven. As the master of the cave heaven, Nie Zhaonan naturally discovered the great changes in the Zixiao Cave Heaven. However, he did not rush into the cave heaven to check. Instead, he stood up and walked out of the secret room.

This breakthrough to the initial stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm was much easier than Nie Zhaonan had imagined.

The two items, the Divine Sand of Creation and the Demonic Yuan Pill, were not used at all.

It was just that after taking the Nine Cold Mysterious Pill, the magic power in his body reached a limit, and then he broke through the bottleneck in one fell swoop and broke through naturally.

Soon, Nie Zhaonan arrived outside a hall. Under the guidance of Bing Feng, Xiang Zhili and Feng Laoguai had been waiting there for a long time.

As soon as he entered the hall, Nie Zhaonan saw Xiang Zhili and Feng Laoguai, who looked rather uncertain.

When the two saw Nie Zhaonan, they naturally stood up to greet him enthusiastically.

"Junior Brother Nie."

"Fellow Daoist Nie."

"No need to be so polite, both of you." Nie Zhaonan walked slowly to the table and sat down, looking at the horse-faced old man, and said:
"This should be Fellow Daoist Feng."

"It's me." Old Monster Feng said with a smile.

“It seems like Junior Brother Nie’s strength has skyrocketed several times. Even if he kills a cultivator of the same level, it shouldn’t take much effort. He won’t even have to consume his lifespan.” Feeling the powerful aura emanating from Nie Zhaonan that far exceeded that of ordinary Divine Transformation cultivators, Xiang Zhili couldn't help but marvel at it.

This was also because Nie Zhaonan had just broken through to the Spirit Transformation Stage and was not yet able to perfectly control himself, causing his aura to be somewhat exposed, which made it easy for him to make a judgment.

"It's true that my strength has skyrocketed, but even I myself don't know exactly how strong I am now." Nie Zhaonan said with a smile without being complacent.

"That's true. There is no cultivator in this world who can make Fellow Daoist Nie use his full strength. If you want to measure your overall strength, you will have a chance only after you reach the upper realm." Old Monster Feng smiled and said in a friendly manner.

"Speaking of the upper realm, there is something I want to ask you, junior brother." Xiang Zhili stopped laughing and looked serious.

"Please tell my senior brother."

"Junior brother Nie has now broken through to the Spirit Transformation Stage. Although he has only just entered it, his strength is obvious to all of you Taoists present here. It is more than enough to enter the space node. I wonder when junior brother plans to leave the human world." After hearing what Xiang Zhili said, Old Monster Feng also listened attentively, waiting for Nie Zhaonan's answer.

"Leave the human world?" Nie Zhaonan paused. "There is no rush. I plan to practice in the human world for a while longer and prepare some methods so that I can be safer when passing through the space nodes."

Unlike Xiang Zhili and others who have stayed in the human world for hundreds of years and have made no further progress in their cultivation, Nie Zhaonan still has a huge room for improvement in his cultivation. Therefore, he is not in a hurry to go to the spiritual world. He prefers to strengthen himself to the greatest extent first before talking about other things.

Although he was somewhat disappointed with Nie Zhaonan's answer, Xiang Zhili knew that Nie Zhaonan was different from them, so he did not want to say more. He nodded slightly, then looked at Bing Feng and said:

"What is Brother Bingfeng's plan?"

"Brother Nie and I have already made an appointment to enter the space node together." Bing Feng said softly without hiding anything.

"We are different from the two of you. Following closely behind Old Demon Che, the three of us, Old Ghost Xiang, Old Ghost Bai from Taiyi Sect, have reached an agreement and decided to join forces to enter the space node within a few years." Old Monster Feng hesitated for a moment and said with a wry smile.

To be honest, he intended to join forces with Nie Zhaonan and Bing Feng. With the combined strength of the five of them, their chances of successfully reaching the upper realm would be much greater. However, time was running out and they did not want to stay in the human world for long.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Junior Brother Nie has just broken through to the Spirit Transformation Stage. Although he is stronger than us, in terms of cultivation experience accumulated over thousands of years, we are naturally still better than Junior Brother. We might as well exchange our cultivation experiences with each other." Xiang Zhili suggested, changing the subject.

It was obvious that Xiang Zhili was trying to curry favor with him. As a newly promoted Divine Transformation cultivator, Nie Zhaonan lacked experience in cultivation, so he naturally had no intention of refusing.

Old Monster Feng also became closer to Nie Zhaonan, and of course he was very happy to share his cultivation experience.

As Bingfeng is Nie Zhaonan's person, there is naturally no need to say more.

As a result, Nie Zhaonan and his group of four discussed their cultivation experiences in this hall, and this exchange lasted for three days and three nights.

The person who gained the most from this experience exchange meeting was naturally Nie Zhaonan, but others also gained some inspiration to varying degrees.

After Xiang Zhili and Old Monster Feng left, Nie Zhaonan naturally took Bingfeng into the Zixiao Cave Heaven.

As soon as the two figures appeared in the pavilion, Nangong Wan and Xin Ruyin, who had been waiting there for a long time, showed joy at the same time.

Xin Ruyin threw herself into Nie Zhaonan's arms and couldn't help but sniff him, "My dear, you smell so good!"

Nie Zhaonan smiled slightly and gently touched her attractive lips, "I, your husband, prefer the girl's scent on Ruyin."

Seeing that her husband was about to undress, Nangong Wan hurriedly said:
"In the past three days, Ruyin and I have explored the situation in the cave, and found that the area that was originally only a thousand miles in radius has now become ten thousand miles in size. Does my husband know about this?"

The treasures in the cave are rare enough, and seeing the Zixiao Cave suddenly expand ten times, Nangong Wan and Xin Ruyin were really shocked.

Hearing Nangong Wan's solemn tone, Nie Zhaonan straightened his expression and explained slowly:
"Zixiao Cave Heaven can grow, or it is gradually recovering."

"When I was still in the Qi training stage, the cave was only a few miles in size, and it was also barren, with no spiritual energy. Perhaps countless years ago, Zixiao Cave was a powerful world, but it gradually declined. Now, with the advancement of my cultivation, it is gradually recovering."
