Mortal's Purple Sky Cave Heaven

Chapter 441 Advanced Void Refining
Indeed, her primordial yin essence has not been lost.
Her gaze turned strange. If it was dual cultivation, then yin and yang would naturally intertwine, so how could one possibly guard the primordial yin? She had never heard of such a powerful secret technique before.

Being stared at so intently by the master and servant, Bingfeng's jade-like cheeks immediately flushed red. Of course, she couldn't possibly say that she 'didn't follow the right path'.

Not only could she not say it, but she was also afraid that if the two of them found out, it would affect their opinions of her.

Fortunately, neither of them had ever experienced matters between men and women, so finding an excuse to get away with it wasn't difficult. Bingfeng thought for a moment, then calmed down and said:

"Brother Nie just likes to take advantage of others. I need to save my virginity for when I need it."

"I see." Yue Li nodded slightly. She noticed that Bing Feng's expression was a little strange, and that his words were obviously not true, but she didn't want to expose him, so she just let the matter drop.

Jin Ling's attention was mostly focused on the second half of Bing Feng's sentence, and she slowly said:
"Bingfeng, your primordial yin energy is indeed no less than that of ordinary elixirs, but what you're doing is far too kind to Lord Nie."

"Compared to Brother Nie's help to me, the power of primordial yin is nothing at all." Seeing that the two no longer pursued the details of dual cultivation, Bingfeng felt relieved and said with a faint smile.

After a few brief words, the three women stopped talking and all turned their gaze to the distant celestial phenomena.

After such a long time, the number of five-colored rays of light gathering towards Qiyun Mountain from all directions began to decrease. Finally, the growing trend of the spiritual clouds in the sky suddenly stopped, becoming silent, like the calm before a storm.

Suddenly, a deafening thunderclap emanated from the depths of Qiyun Mountain, shaking the sky. A flash of five colors—gold, green, red, yellow, and blue—appeared on the mountaintop, revealing a gigantic lightning bolt pattern.

This lightning pattern was a thousand feet in size, its entire body radiating a brilliant spiritual light, as if it were a real object.

Upon closer inspection, one can discover countless sword energies formed from lightning bolts, darting and shooting endlessly within. The five-colored sword energies sweep across the area, accompanied by continuous thunderclaps, and a powerful pressure emanates from it.

Feeling the waves of pressure emanating from the lightning patterns, Yue Li's expression changed slightly:

"The power of laws! How could this be!"

Upon hearing this, confirming their suspicions, Bingfeng and Jinling had no more doubts and couldn't help but open their mouths slightly.

They all understood what it meant to comprehend the power of laws at the Void Refinement stage.

At that moment, another celestial phenomenon appeared in the sky!
As a clear sword cry rang out, chaotic hurricanes began to form out of thin air around the five-colored lightning patterns. With a loud howl, they swept in all the milky white spiritual clouds in the sky and the five-colored glow that enveloped Mount Qiyun.

Five-colored rays of light and spiritual clouds poured wildly into the thunder pattern, instantly transforming its surface into a glassy color, making it even more vibrant.

During this process, the lightning pattern seemed like a bottomless pit, absorbing countless rays of light and spiritual clouds in just a moment, leaving the surrounding area empty, as if the astonishing celestial phenomenon had never occurred.

After doing all this, the size of the Thunder Pattern suddenly shrank as the glassy color flowed across its surface.

In the blink of an eye, the lightning pattern, which seemed to be a towering peak, shrank to the size of an ordinary person and continued to shrink as it fell downwards. Finally, a point of light disappeared into the secluded chamber where Nie Zhaonan was in seclusion.

"Lord Nie's advancement to the Void Refinement stage is too fast! He succeeded in just a moment. It was only a little over a hundred years ago that he advanced to the peak of the Divine Transformation stage. Logically speaking, his foundation shouldn't be this deep." Comparing the scene before him with the books he had read, Jin Ling exclaimed in surprise. Generally, the entire process of advancing to the Void Refinement stage takes several months.

"It's the power of the laws. During his advancement, Zhao Nan seemed to have naturally comprehended a trace of the laws. With the support of the power of the laws, breaking through the bottleneck of the Void Refinement stage will naturally not be a problem at all," Yue Li explained calmly.

However, her expression became increasingly confused. She had never heard of such a strange thing as naturally comprehending the power of laws at the Void Refinement stage.

The power of laws cannot be created out of thin air; they all require seclusion and arduous cultivation to comprehend little by little, and she was no exception.

However, her disciple seemed to have been 'given' something, which puzzled her greatly, and she couldn't understand the reason behind it.

"Tongtian spiritual treasures are generally stronger than ordinary spiritual treasures, not only because they are listed on the Chaos Myriad Spirits Ranking, but also because these treasures contain the power of laws and can unleash attacks imbued with the power of laws. In that case, with Brother Nie's current strength, you can easily unleash power no less than that of using a Tongtian spiritual treasure?" Bingfeng pondered for a while, becoming more interested in Nie Zhaonan's current strength.

"That's right. Although he has just advanced to the Void Refinement stage, his current strength is already extremely powerful. In the Void Refinement realm, I'm afraid no one can rival him." Yue Li nodded slightly. She herself had comprehended the laws during the Void Refinement stage, so she could naturally make a rough judgment about Nie Zhaonan's current strength.

She naturally hoped that her disciple would become stronger, and as she was happy, the slight displeasure she had felt before because of her disciple's absurd affair with Bingfeng vanished.

The three didn't wait long. Soon, a figure with wings on its back appeared before them in a strange flash, and then, after a barely audible crackle, the figure vanished into thin air once more.

In the blink of an eye, Nie Zhaonan landed in front of his master with a beaming smile and said:
"Master."

"You were able to comprehend the power of laws while advancing to the Void Refinement stage, which truly surprised your master." Yue Li also smiled slightly, her eyes full of seriousness as she sized up Nie Zhaonan for a while.

Upon hearing this, Nie Zhaonan gave a wry smile and replied helplessly:
"This disciple has no talent like Master's, which allows him to comprehend the power of laws. Master, please take a look."

As he spoke, Nie Zhaonan reached out and flicked his wrist, and a small, golden sword flew out from his sleeve. As soon as the sword appeared, it began to fly and swirl with extreme agility, like a swimming fish.

This flying sword is one of many Gengjin Divine Thunder Swords.

Upon seeing the flying sword, Yue Li's expression changed. She raised her jade hand and took the flying sword into her hand, gently stroking the blade and examining it carefully.

After a long while, a look of understanding appeared on her beautiful face, as if she had figured something out, and she said softly:
"Your flying sword also contains the aura of laws, but it is very incomplete. However, if you combine the five sets of flying swords of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, it should be a complete power of laws. Your ability to comprehend laws is also due to your natal flying sword."

“That’s right,” Nie Zhaonan nodded slightly. “I was able to cross the threshold of the Law of Thunder entirely because of the special nature of my natal flying sword. Although I can now use the power of the law, I have no clue how to continue to comprehend it.”

The laws are, after all, the foundation of a world, and even grasping just a smattering of them is extremely difficult.

"Even among human cultivators at the Mahayana stage, only one in ten thousand can barely step into the threshold of the Laws. It is already extremely rare that you have achieved something at this time with the help of your natal flying sword. As for comprehending the Dao of the Laws, there is not much I can do to help you. I can only explain my years of experience and insights to you."

Yue Li slightly raised her hand, tossing the flying sword back, and then casually waved her hand in front of her, causing four futons to appear on the ground.

The experience and insights gained from comprehending the laws are far more valuable than cultivation experience. Nie Zhaonan sheathed his flying sword and said gratefully:
"Thank you, Master."

"You two can join us too. How much you can understand depends on your aptitude." Yue Li nodded slightly and sat cross-legged on the futon. Bing Feng and Jin Ling's faces were full of joy. After bowing respectfully, they took their seats one after the other.

After seeing Nie Zhaonan take his seat, Yue Li no longer hesitated, opened her mouth slightly, and began to tell her story without reservation.

Gazing at his master's exquisite face, Nie Zhaonan listened attentively. The best relationship between master and disciple was to sit and discuss the Dao, nothing more.

As the undisputed genius among the True Dragon Clan, Yue Li's understanding of the laws is comparable to that of True Dragon Clan elders in the mid-to-late stages of the Integration Realm. Naturally, she also has rich and unique insights into the Dao of Laws.

Upon hearing this, Nie Zhaonan felt as if the clouds had parted and a path had been found ahead.

The two Ice Phoenix girls, who had not grasped the laws at all, were naturally confused by what they heard, but they were extremely attentive. Even though they didn't understand, they memorized every word of their understanding so that they could comprehend it more carefully when they were strong enough in the future.

This period of listening and contemplation lasted for half a year. During this time, Nie Zhaonan asked several questions about comprehending the laws, and Yue Li explained them in detail before the session ended.

Jin Ling had already left with Yue Li, leaving only Nie Zhaonan and Bing Feng on the mountaintop.

"Sigh," Nie Zhaonan sighed deeply, gazing at the endless horizon.
"No wonder the vast majority of Mahayana cultivators have not comprehended the laws. The difficulty of comprehending the laws is like trying to see an entire world with the naked eye. It is simply too difficult. Apart from True Spirits who are quite talented in comprehending the laws, there are probably only a few old monsters in the Tribulation Transcending stage who can have some understanding of the laws."

"Brother Nie, you have already stepped into the threshold of the Laws, which is already unimaginable for other cultivators." Bingfeng Zhu's lips moved slightly as she softly comforted him.

Nie Zhaonan shook his head, showing great self-awareness, and said:

"I have no talent for comprehending the power of laws. Without external assistance, even if I were to go into seclusion for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, I would probably still find it difficult to make great progress in my understanding of laws."

"External objects?" Ice Phoenix's expression shifted, and she said with a look of reminiscence:
"According to Senior Yue Li, the Guangling Dao Fruit can indeed increase the speed of comprehending laws, but the effect should not be significant for Brother Nie. The greatest help in comprehending laws comes from the Xuantian Treasure, which contains the power of the laws of a realm. Brother Nie possesses a Xuantian Treasure, but unfortunately, it contains the power of destruction, while Brother Nie is comprehending the law of thunder."

"Comprehension of the laws is time-consuming and laborious, and there won't be much progress. Let's postpone this matter." After thinking for a long time, Nie Zhaonan withdrew his gaze and made a helpless decision.

Although the power of laws is formidable, he is currently only a Void Refinement cultivator. His most important task is to improve his cultivation level and increase his strength as soon as possible.

"Yes." Bingfeng nodded, naturally she had no doubts.

"Come on, I've advanced to the Void Refinement stage, let's celebrate together with Feng'er." Nie Zhaonan wrapped his arms around her slender waist.

"No." Bingfeng knew exactly what 'celebration' meant, and with a twist of her body, she broke free and left his embrace.

"Senior Yue Li specifically asked about our relationship before. I can't bother Brother Nie any longer." After leaving these words, the Ice Phoenix's body suddenly shone with spiritual light, and she transformed into an ice phoenix and flew away.

"Since Master has inquired again, then let it go." Nie Zhaonan was somewhat helpless and didn't want to make things difficult for Bingfeng any further.

After pausing for a moment, Nie Zhaonan moved and headed towards his master's medicine garden.

After most of the day had passed, a silver streak flashed past outside Qiyun Mountain and plunged into the restriction, entering it.

Having collected several of all kinds of spiritual herbs from the herb garden, Nie Zhaonan entered the cave dwelling without hesitation and went into a secluded meditation chamber.

Sitting cross-legged on a futon, with a small emerald cauldron floating quietly in front of him, Nie Zhaonan made a hand seal with one hand, and a clear cry came from his shoulder. A celestial firebird appeared in the firelight.

As soon as the bird appeared, it flapped its wings and flew into the emerald-green cauldron.

Upon seeing this, Nie Zhaonan flicked his wrist without hesitation, and the storage bracelet shot out.

The ring flashed in the air for a moment, and some bottles and jars, along with some jade boxes and wooden boxes, were swept out by a ray of light and fell to the ground in front of them.

Nie Zhaonan released his divine sense and swept it over these things. All the lids opened on their own, revealing various spiritual herbs and fruits, as well as auxiliary materials for alchemy.

Everything here is rare and hard to find!

Of course, all these medicinal herbs and rare items came from Master's herb garden.

After glancing at the alchemy materials, Nie Zhaonan immediately found the materials he needed.

With a flick of his long sleeves!
A silvery ray of light shot out, and wherever the light passed, more than a dozen kinds of spiritual herbs and auxiliary materials rose from the containers and were all sent into the emerald cauldron.

Immediately, Nie Zhaonan's hands began to move like a wheel, his fingertips continuously striking out spells that entered the emerald cauldron.

An extremely hot temperature surged forth, causing the surrounding air to distort and blur under its intense heat. The spiritual herbs that had been placed within were being rapidly refined.

At this moment, Nie Zhaonan was refining a spiritual pill called 'Jade Essence Pill'. This pill could improve the mana of cultivators in the early stage of Void Refinement, and its refining difficulty was moderate, making it perfect for improving his pill refining skills.

Time flies, and Nie Zhaonan stayed in the alchemy room for a hundred years.

On this day, a huge explosion suddenly came from the previously silent secret room.

In the secret chamber, the emerald cauldron had shattered into countless fragments scattered on the ground, while a vibrant elixir, radiating a miniature halo, floated quietly in the void about ten feet above the ground.

This pill was not only as big as a fist, but also crystal clear, with a dazzling red light shooting out from its surface. Upon looking at it, one felt a strange sensation as if their eyes were about to be blinded.
