Mortal's Purple Sky Cave Heaven

Chapter 431 Nine Revolutions True Dragon Technique
"Brother Nie, you've emerged from seclusion?" Bingfeng asked with delight upon recognizing the face of the person beside her.

"As a disciple, I should naturally emerge from seclusion to await my master's breakthrough." Nie Zhaonan smiled faintly as he glanced at the astonishing celestial phenomenon.

"You've been so good to Miss, at least you have some conscience." Jin Ling snorted coldly.

Indeed, since formally becoming a disciple, he has never taken the initiative to visit her. Nie Zhaonan simply smiled and did not argue.

In the blink of an eye, a large patch of five-colored spiritual clouds gathered above the courtyard, completely covering most of the sky.

A series of thunderous roars arose, and streaks of lightning appeared in the clouds, intertwining and flashing wildly.

Suddenly, a clear dragon roar came from the courtyard, followed by a huge burst of spiritual pressure.

The spiritual pressure was so intense that even though they were thousands of miles apart, Nie Zhaonan only felt his body sink slightly. After his internal energy circulated rapidly, he returned to normal.

At the same time, he placed one hand on Bingfeng's shoulder, transmitting his powerful magic to her. Bingfeng, whose vision had gone black, regained her sight and leaned comfortably against him.

On the other side, Jin Ling, who was about to collapse to her knees, regained her standing position after being helped by Nie Zhaonan's magic power. She looked over here with gratitude.

However, upon seeing Nie Zhaonan and Bingfeng embracing each other, one couldn't help but feel secretly annoyed:

"At such a solemn and important moment as Miss's breakthrough to the Fusion Realm, you're still being so affectionate. Even though you two are Daoist partners, shouldn't you be a little more mindful of yourselves?"

Jin Ling couldn't help but glance at it a couple more times before finally looking away.

In that short time, melodious music suddenly emanated from the five-colored spiritual clouds, and various runes appeared and disappeared in the clouds.

The next moment, a dragon's roar echoed from the center of the courtyard.

High-pitched and clear, it pierced through the clouds and reached the heavens.

Then, a beam of blue light, pure and clear, shot out, and as the light dissipated, it transformed into a phantom of ice crystals.

This crystalline blue phantom was ten thousand feet tall, with horns on its head and upright eyes; it was actually a massive crystalline blue dragon.

As soon as the true dragon appeared, the five-colored spiritual clouds in the sky seemed to sense it, and thunder roared. The numerous spiritual clouds and electric arcs gathered at the center, transforming into a five-colored electric dragon whose size was in no way inferior to that of the true dragon.

A deafening thunderclap resounded, and the five-colored electric dragon's body crackled with lightning. With a swift movement, it pounced down with overwhelming force.

Upon seeing this, the crystalline dragon remained calm with its upright dragon eyes, and with a single opening of its mouth, a stream of icy cold water shot out.

"Such powerful law force!" Nie Zhaonan felt the familiar fluctuations in the cold current and his expression changed.

The power of law emanating from her master at this moment seemed to be only slightly weaker than that of Elder Candlelight.

However, Elder Zhu Huo not only possessed the late-stage Integration Realm, but his power of laws had also been cultivated for countless millennia, while his Master Yue Li was merely beginning to advance to the Integration Realm.

It's easy to imagine how astonishing his master's understanding of the power of laws was!

The moment the cold current made contact with the five-colored electric dragon, it was as if the omnipresent flowing water had enveloped the electric dragon before it could react, and then swept back.

The electric dragon naturally revealed its abnormality, desperately twisting its body and struggling.

But in the end, it was just a futile attempt to shake a tree, and they remained firmly bound by the cold current.

Even more incredibly, during this process, the enormous body of the five-colored electric dragon shrank rapidly, and when it reached the mouth of the true dragon, it was swallowed whole.

In the blink of an eye, all the lightning and spiritual clouds vanished.

Not only that, after devouring a large amount of primordial energy that transformed into spiritual clouds and lightning, the originally somewhat blurry phantom of the true dragon became increasingly solid and clear amidst the flashing runes.

As the blue light on his body surface became dazzlingly intense.

"Bang" sound!
The phantom of the dragon shrank rapidly, then vanished into the courtyard below, disappearing without a trace.

"Success!"

The same thought crossed the minds of Nie Zhaonan and the other two. They exchanged glances and, without prior agreement, flew down from the mountaintop together.

After a short while, Nie Zhaonan and his two companions entered the area where the Xuan Tian Flower Tree was located and waited silently in place.

Before long, a slender figure appeared on the Xuan Tian Hua tree, and then became clearer and clearer. With light steps, she slowly walked out.

"Congratulations, Master, on advancing to the Fusion stage!"

"Congratulations, Miss, your cultivation has greatly improved!"

"Congratulations, senior, on advancing to the Fusion stage!"

Three distinct voices rang out, but without exception, they were all extremely happy.

"Hmm." With a calm and composed gaze, Yue Li saw that the three of them had made good progress in their cultivation and nodded slightly.

Then, she parted her cherry lips slightly and said:
"Jin Ling, Bing Feng, you two can go down first."

"Yes."

The two women naturally nodded in agreement and withdrew, leaving only Nie Zhaonan and his apprentice Yue Li behind.

He couldn't help but look up, and his eyes were drawn to her graceful and charming figure and her exquisite face. She gave him a sense of ethereal gentleness, yet also a profound and mysterious feeling. Even Nie Zhaonan, who had been through countless trials and tribulations, felt a slight flutter in his heart.

Quickly regaining his composure, Nie Zhaonan spoke:

"Master has advanced to the Integration stage, so achieving the Great Dao is not far off."

Ignoring his intense gaze, Yue Li chuckled softly:
"To achieve the Great Dao? It's too early to talk about it now. Let's wait until that day to say it."

"Master is absolutely right."

Although they were master and disciple, they didn't really know each other well, or even be familiar with each other. But Nie Zhaonan realized at this moment that his master didn't like flattery.

Coincidentally, he wasn't very used to speaking like that either.

"You've cultivated a divine sense technique? And it seems you've even reached an extremely high level?" Yue Li's calm gaze fell on Nie Zhaonan, her delicate brows furrowing slightly as she asked. "Master's insight is unfathomable. This disciple has indeed cultivated a divine sense technique called 'Lieyuan Technique,' and I have now reached the sixth level of mastery," Nie Zhaonan answered truthfully, without concealing anything.

"In less than three hundred years, you have not only cultivated your magical power to the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage, but you have also cultivated the secret technique 'Lieyuan Technique' to the sixth level. Your cultivation speed is truly astonishing." Yue Li naturally had some understanding of the clan's secret technique 'Lieyuan Technique', and couldn't help but sigh.

"Well, I was able to cultivate so quickly thanks to the spiritual herbs in Master's herb garden. As for the cultivation of 'Lieyuan Technique,' it was mostly with the help of 'Lingzhi Wine' that I was able to make such rapid progress." Nie Zhaonan, who never liked to be too conspicuous, explained with a smile.

“There’s no need for modesty in front of your teacher,” Yue Li said, seemingly seeing through his thoughts.

Upon hearing this, Nie Zhaonan gave an awkward smile.

"The clan competition is coming soon. If you have any questions, ask them as soon as possible. It would be good to gain even a little more strength," Yue Li said, suddenly bringing up another matter.

"What does Master think of my current strength?" Nie Zhaonan asked, his eyes twitching slightly.

Yue Li gave Nie Zhaonan a serious look and shook her head:

"With your current strength, winning first place in the competition should be no problem, but you have no chance of challenging the second and third place winners at the same time. After all, you are just a human. Even if the cultivation techniques you practice are not ordinary, true dragons are born powerful, and their greatest strength is themselves. It is already difficult for you to be even slightly stronger than them, so how can you possibly fight against two people at the same time?"

"I am already very satisfied that I have strength comparable to a true dragon at the Nascent Soul stage." Nie Zhaonan was not too discouraged. The power of the Taiyi Divine Thunder Technique has not yet been fully revealed. He still needs to advance to the Void Refinement stage. At that time, his strength will definitely increase even more.

At that moment, a man's voice suddenly rang out in this world, coming from all directions:
“Sigh, Zhao Nan, how can you be so satisfied? Yue Li once obtained the inheritance of the clan’s secret technique in the competition. As her disciple, you naturally cannot be outdone.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan, with his white hair, appeared.

"I met the elder."

Just as Nie Zhaonan was about to bow, Yuan Yi waved his hand to stop him.

"Second Uncle, what did you mean earlier? I believe I know my disciple's strength to be about 80-90 percent. He doesn't have the strength I had back then, let alone have the chance to inherit the clan's secret technique."

Yue Li's eyes shimmered as she gazed at Nie Zhaonan, as if trying to see through him completely.

To obtain the clan's secret technique from the True Dragon Clan, one must win first place in the Grand Competition and simultaneously defeat the second and third place winners, demonstrating astonishing strength and potential.

It should be noted that the True Dragon Clan is known as one of the most powerful True Spirit races among the many True Spirit races.

In the True Dragon Clan Grand Competition, those who occupy the top three positions are all exceptionally talented. They would have a great chance of defeating even ordinary peak Void Refinement cultivators, which shows how strong they are.

Not to mention facing a combined attack from the second and third place teams at the same time.

Over the countless years, only Yue Li has ever received the inheritance of the clan's secret cultivation technique while still in the Nascent Soul stage.

Therefore, it's no wonder she was surprised that her second uncle believed his newly accepted disciple could inherit the clan's secret cultivation technique, just like her.

On the one hand, she also saw no possibility in Nie Zhaonan.

“Zhao Nan’s own strength is indeed somewhat lacking, but it’s not without other methods. Unlike us True Spirits, who are good at utilizing our own supernatural powers and powerful True Spirit bodies and do not like to use treasures, if Zhao Nan had one or two extremely powerful treasures, he would still have a great chance of winning in the end.” Yuan shook his head and said meaningfully.

True spirits dislike using treasures, mainly because their own strength is too great. Treasures that are very useful to other cultivators do not significantly enhance their strength.

For an elder like Yuan, who is at the peak of the Integration Realm, even a top-ranked Heavenly Treasure would be almost useless, far less powerful than his own divine abilities.

Upon hearing Yuan's words, Yue Li shook her head slightly:

“I certainly have powerful treasures here, but to activate a treasure, one needs the strength to match it; otherwise, it is difficult to unleash even one or two tenths of its power.”

Yuan didn't answer, but instead looked at Nie Zhaonan beside him and asked:

"Zhaonan, you've always had good luck and have many treasures in your possession. You must have one or two powerful ones, right?"

He was naturally referring to the Xuan Tian Treasure in Nie Zhaonan's possession. With the power of the Xuan Tian Treasure, it would be enough to unleash even one or two tenths of its power, let alone just barely use it.

It is absolutely not something that a Nascent Soul cultivator can withstand, not even a true dragon at the Nascent Soul stage.

Although this has some suspicion of cheating, treasures are also a part of strength.

Possessing and being able to use the Xuan Tian Treasure is also a form of strength.

Seeing that Nie Zhaonan looked hesitant, as if he hadn't made up his mind, Yuan spoke solemnly:
"Although using powerful treasures might cause some ripples, it's worth the risk compared to the final benefits. After all, our clan's most powerful technique—the Nine Revolutions True Dragon Technique—has been passed down for countless millennia. Currently, there are no more than ten clan members practicing this technique."

"Below the Mahayana stage, the only ones with a chance to inherit the 'Nine Revolutions True Dragon Technique' are those in the Nascent Soul stage during the clan's grand competition."

"Only the strongest few Grand Elders in the Mahayana stage, and with the permission of the Golden Dragon Grand Elder, are qualified to cultivate this technique."

"With the power of this technique, Zhao Nan, if you have the opportunity to cultivate it, it will be easy for you to traverse the surrounding realms. If you really reach the time to transcend tribulation and ascend, you will be almost certain to pass the tribulation."

"Nine Revolutions True Dragon Technique? Could this technique be a cultivation method from the True Immortal Realm?" Nie Zhaonan asked uncertainly, a thought stirring in his mind.

"You've been in the True Dragon Realm for so long now. You've heard of the Golden Jade Book from the Immortal Realm, haven't you?" Yuan said slowly, without the slightest impatience.

"Mm." Nie Zhaonan nodded slightly.

He naturally knew about the Golden Palace Jade Book, but he didn't learn about it only after arriving in the True Dragon Realm.

Upon hearing this, Yuan continued, speaking slowly:

"The inner pages of the Golden Jade Book are written in the Golden Seal script of the Immortal Realm, containing thirty-six cultivation techniques from the Immortal Realm. These thirty-six cultivation techniques from the Immortal Realm are naturally extremely powerful. If a Mahayana cultivator can master just one of these techniques, their chances of passing the tribulation of ascension will immediately increase several times."

"However, these thirty-six cultivation techniques that so many Mahayana cultivators covet are nothing compared to the Nine Revolutions True Dragon Technique passed down in my clan. They are simply incomparable."

"Otherwise, why do you think no one dares to provoke my True Dragon Clan? Besides our own strength, we also have the Nine Revolutions True Dragon Technique as our foundation."

"The Nine Revolutions True Dragon Technique, with each complete revolution, can double the physical strength and defense of the body." At this moment, Yue Li also moved her lips slightly and added softly.

As a practitioner of the Nine Revolutions True Dragon Technique, she naturally had a deep understanding of this technique.

After hearing all this, Nie Zhaonan understood that the Nine Revolutions True Dragon Technique was definitely an extremely powerful True Dragon Clan technique, far surpassing ordinary Immortal Realm techniques.

Nie Zhaonan was intrigued. Suddenly, his expression changed, as if he had thought of something. With a flick of his sleeve, a dark stone slowly flew out from his sleeve.
