Mortal's Purple Sky Cave Heaven

Chapter 444 The Great Vehicle of the Two Races
Afterwards, Nie Zhaonan sat quietly and pondered for a while before his joy faded and he threw out the storage bracelet containing the Dragon Scale Fruit.

He took out another ten thousand dragon scale fruits, along with auxiliary spiritual medicines.

Inside the alchemy room, the spiritual flames roared, and the temperature rose once again.

Having personally experienced the immense medicinal power of the Myriad Scales Pill and its powerful effect on cultivating the Nine Revolutions True Dragon Technique, Nie Zhaonan naturally didn't stop refining pills again.

This time, he was determined to consume all the Dragon Scale Fruits before he would stop.

Spring has passed and summer has come, autumn has passed and winter has arrived; more than thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, after tidying up the cave in Qiyun Mountain, Nie Zhaonan and Bingfeng drifted away from the cave. Judging from the direction they left, it was in the direction of the garden courtyard.

Having left the True Dragon Realm, Nie Zhaonan naturally couldn't just disappear without saying goodbye.

Before long, in the independent world where the Xuan Tian Flower Tree was located, Nie Zhaonan and Bing Feng were already standing respectfully in front of Yue Li.

"Are you really leaving?" Yue Li asked softly, her gaze sweeping over the two of them. Even though she already knew about this, she still asked again.

"To be honest, Master, I have a Daoist companion waiting for me in the Spirit Realm. I haven't seen her for hundreds of years and don't know how she is doing. Naturally, I must go find her as soon as possible." Nie Zhaonan didn't think his previous reason would convince his master, so he said this instead.

The Daoist companion he mentioned who was waiting for him was naturally Yin Yue, who had returned to the Spirit Realm while at Kunwu Mountain.

Although he gave her a great many ancient elixirs when they parted, he was still eager to know news about her.

"It was all for a Daoist partner?" Yue Li fell silent. She never expected that the real reason was this.

However, when applied to her disciple who had a penchant for beautiful women, it seemed perfectly reasonable.
Yu Guang glanced at Nie Zhaonan with a hint of helplessness, and said calmly:
“In that case, I will not stop you. Powerful beings often appear in the void, and crossing realms is a dangerous thing. You have only just entered the Refining Void Realm, and there will still be some risks along the way. How about this, I have nothing important to do recently, so I will send you on your way.”

"Master has used up quite a few spiritual medicines on me, how could you agree so easily to let me leave and even send me on my way?" Hearing this unexpected answer, Nie Zhaonan was secretly puzzled, but his face showed no abnormality, instead showing a look of joy.

Just as Master said, most of those who can move in the void of the interface are powerful cultivators who are able to resist the power of the void. If you really encounter him, you may not be able to deal with him.

"Thank you for your trouble, Master."

With a flick of his sleeve, Nie Zhaonan sent a several-inch-long emerald green shuttle flying out with a whoosh.

As soon as the shuttle appeared, it grew rapidly in the wind amidst flashes of spiritual light, transforming into a massive object over thirty feet long with sharp ends and shimmering emerald light.

"Please." Nie Zhaonan immediately said, inviting his master to board the ship.

"Hmm, your Azure Spirit Shuttle is made primarily of Azure Wutong Spirit Wood. Although it only barely reaches the level of a Heavenly Treasure, few treasures can compare to it in terms of breaking through and traversing the void." Yue Li nodded slightly, lightly touched the ground with her jade feet, and landed on the deck of the Azure Spirit Shuttle with a slight movement.

Nie Zhaonan, along with Bingfeng, then boarded the flying shuttle.

The journey to the Spirit Realm was long and arduous. Nie Zhaonan thoughtfully arranged for his fellow traveler, Master Yue Li, to stay in a quiet room. After doing so, he channeled his inner power and activated the Azure Spirit Shuttle.

Amidst a burst of brilliant emerald light, violent spatial fluctuations occurred, and the Azure Spirit Shuttle's figure became increasingly blurred before vanishing from its spot in a flash.

When the shuttle reappeared, it had already left the independent world where the Xuan Tian Flower Tree was located and appeared in the outside world.

After a slight pause, the Azure Shuttle shone brightly once more, and an incredibly dazzling beam of azure light shot out, landing on a single point in the space in front of it.

The surrounding space immediately distorted and deformed, and then exploded with a loud bang.

About a hundred feet ahead, a beam of light over thirty feet long appeared.

This arc of light was hazy white, and at its widest point it was more than ten zhang wide, shaped like a crescent moon. It was actually a newly opened spatial passage.

The next moment, the Azure Shuttle flashed and disappeared into it. After a violent spatial fluctuation, the enormous shuttle vanished without a trace.

Before long, the misty white spatial passage, after fluctuating in size, spontaneously closed up again.

Above a muddy swamp in the spirit realm, a ripple appeared in a large, misty hole, from which a burst of emerald light shot out and then faded, revealing an emerald green shuttle beneath the hole.

Three figures stood prominently in front of the shuttle.

Neither Nie Zhaonan nor Bingfeng spoke, but instead looked at a beautiful figure in front of them.

At this moment, Yue Li's eyebrows furrowed slightly, her face showing a thoughtful expression, as if she were pondering something important.

"Do you know where the human race is located?" Yue Li suddenly asked softly.

"This disciple has a rough map of the Spirit Realm. Judging by the astonishing speed of the Azure Spirit Shuttle, we are now only a few days' journey from the human territory. Master, would you like to take a trip to the human realm?" Nie Zhaonan asked one last time.

The map in his hand was given to him by Silvermoon to prevent him from encountering any unexpected situations, and now it came in handy.

“There’s no need to go to the human realm. Now that I’ve sent you to the spirit realm, I should leave. This is a token I personally crafted. If you encounter any trouble you can’t resolve, you can send me a message.” Yue Li shook her head, her voice gentle. At the same time, she flicked her jade sleeve, and a pale blue token that looked like an ice crystal slowly flew out.

"This token can even transmit messages across realms? Although the material is quite extraordinary, even I can't tell what kind of rare material it's made of, but it shouldn't have such great power, right?" Holding the palm-sized token in his hand, Nie Zhaonan examined it carefully for a moment, feeling puzzled, but he didn't ask aloud.

However, he naturally accepted it without any hesitation.

"Hmm." With a soft "hmm," Yue Li didn't utter a sound as her figure faded away, becoming almost transparent, disappearing in a flash.

Nie Zhaonan didn't even have time to say a word of farewell.

"Why is my master acting so strangely? He personally saw me off, but after arriving in this Spirit Realm, he hasn't said a word, not even asking when I'll return to the True Dragon Realm. Is he really concerned about me, or is he just bored?" Confused, Nie Zhaonan muttered to himself with some resentment.

"Brother Nie, Senior Yue Li might not have gone far yet," Bing Feng rolled her eyes and reminded him telepathically.

"It's nothing," Nie Zhaonan said nonchalantly. Seeing his completely fearless demeanor, Bingfeng remained silent, unsure of his true intentions, but still spoke up:

"Senior Yue Li's personal escort shows how highly she values ​​you. However, Senior Yue Li is a quiet person who rarely interacts with others, and perhaps she's unsure how to interact with you as her disciple, hence her uncertainty about what to say or ask."

Upon hearing this, Nie Zhaonan thought for a moment, and what Bingfeng said seemed to make some sense, so he stopped paying attention to the matter and then said:
"Never mind her."

After saying that, he tapped the Azure Spirit Shuttle beneath his feet, and his magic power surged into it. Instantly, the shuttle transformed into a streak of azure light and shot away.

With the Azure Spirit Shuttle being a Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, its speed was incredibly fast under Nie Zhaonan's full power. A few flashes of light appeared on the horizon before it disappeared into the distance, covering a hundred miles in the blink of an eye.

After an unknown amount of time, the once calm swamp suddenly burst open without warning, leaving behind a huge crater that was tens of miles in circumference and thousands of feet deep.

The wild beasts that had been hiding there naturally suffered an undeserved calamity, their remains never found.

Just as Nie Zhaonan and Bingfeng were rushing towards the human territory aboard the Azure Spirit Shuttle, above an unnamed, enormous canyon far from the human region, the stunningly beautiful Yue Li floated silently.

Opposite him were two people, looking at each other with rather solemn expressions.

One of them was dressed in a silver robe, with long, jet-black hair cascading down to his waist. He was a man in his thirties with a youthful face and a faint smile on his lips.

The other person was an old man with white hair. He had a kind face and unusually long ears that almost reached his shoulders, making his appearance quite strange.

If a cultivator who is a hybrid of human and demon races were here, he would surely be astonished upon seeing the two of them.

These were none other than Ao Xiao and Mo Jianli, the Mahayana stage ancestors of their clan.

For some reason, the two of them appeared here together and blocked Yue Li's way.

"Why are you two seniors stopping this junior?" Yue Li asked calmly, glancing at her indifferently.

“Fellow Daoist, there’s no need to be nervous. We’ve both met Fellow Daoist Fan Paozi of the noble family once before, and we have some acquaintance. May I ask your name, Fellow Daoist?” As if he had discovered something, a hint of surprise flashed in Ao Xiao’s eyes, and he said with a slight smile.

"So you two seniors know Elder Fan. I am Yue Li, just a member of my True Dragon Clan who has just advanced to the Integration Stage." Yue Li spoke, her expression still nonchalant even when facing two Mahayana stage seniors.

“Fellow Daoist Yue Li, just as you said, you are only at the early stage of the Integration Realm. What are you doing in the Spirit Realm? There are many vicious people in the Spirit Realm. They might take the risk and attack you.” Mo Jianli said with a puzzled expression.

What puzzled him even more was why a true dragon in the Integration Stage would run near their human and demon races.

Logically speaking, although there are many treasures that can attract true spirits, there are only a few types, and neither the human nor the demon race has any of them.

"You two need not worry about my safety, and as for the purpose of my visit, that is none of your concern," Yue Li said calmly, her words extremely straightforward.

Ao Xiao showed no displeasure whatsoever, still smiling faintly as he extended the invitation:

"Guests are always welcome. Fellow Daoist Yue Li, why don't you visit our human and demon races and let us extend our hospitality?"

"There's no need for me to be a guest; I have important matters to attend to." Yue Li shook her head slightly without hesitation.

Ao Xiao and Mo Jianli couldn't help but exchange a glance, both seeing a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes.

They wanted to find out what was going on from this fellow Daoist Yue Li, but seeing that she remained unmoved, they didn't know how to proceed.

Taking action is definitely not an option, after all, the True Dragon Clan is so powerful that small groups like the Human and Demon races cannot provoke them.

"May I leave now?" Yue Li asked softly, her emotions remaining unchanged.

"Fellow Daoist, please move with ease." Mo Jianli sighed, knowing that continuing to obstruct him would not be a good thing.

The next moment, Yue Li's body shone brightly, and with a swift movement, she shot away, disappearing from their sight in the blink of an eye.

"The True Dragon Clan is far too arrogant. They treat us two Mahayana stage seniors as if we were fellow cultivators of the same level," Mo Jianli said slowly, his expression somewhat unpleasant.

“I think it’s only natural,” Ao Xiao said with a hearty laugh.

"Ao Xiao, what did you discover?" Mo Jianli asked, his expression shifting slightly.

“Old Ghost Mo, your strength is a bit weak. This Fellow Daoist Yue Li is no ordinary True Dragon Clan Integration cultivator. This is the first time I, Ao Xiao, have ever seen such a powerful person.” Ao Xiao’s expression turned solemn as he slowly spoke.

"Impressive? She's only just advanced to the Integration Stage. I think she's at most comparable to a late-stage Integration Stage cultivator." Mo Jianli looked thoughtful, as if he was considering something, before finally speaking.

"Hahaha, I told you your strength wasn't up to par. Old Ghost Mo, you only saw the surface. Although this Fellow Daoist Yue Li has only recently advanced to the Integration stage, her understanding of the laws is probably no less than that of the elders in her clan who are at the late Integration stage. If she goes all out and uses the power of the laws, even if you, Old Ghost Mo, were to take action, you wouldn't have a chance to defeat her." Ao Xiao laughed heartily, his gaze towards Mo Jianli full of teasing.

Upon hearing this, Mo Jianli's heart skipped a beat, but she still stubbornly retorted:

“I, Mo Jianli, am also a veteran Mahayana cultivator. Even I couldn’t defeat her, so how confident are you?”

"If I were to make a move, I'd have a 30% chance of success," Ao Xiao said with a chuckle.

"I'm not going to waste my breath on you, old man. Do you have any guesses about his intentions?" Mo Jianli asked with a serious expression and a rather solemn tone.

Ao Xiao's eyes flashed, and he said meaningfully:
“What else could a true spirit be traveling to all realms for? When we met Fellow Daoist Fan Paozi, wasn’t he also searching for the Xuan Tian Treasure? It’s just that his information was wrong that time. But this time, although Fellow Daoist Yue Li’s cultivation is far inferior to yours and mine, her importance to the True Dragon Clan is definitely greater than that of Fan Paozi. Even she has come here personally, so I’m afraid that this time there really will be a Xuan Tian Treasure.”

"What! A Xuan Tian treasure has appeared?" Upon hearing Ao Xiao's words, Mo Jianli immediately gasped and exclaimed in shock.

Every time a Xuan Tian treasure appears, it causes bloodshed and chaos throughout the entire spirit realm, resulting in the annihilation of countless races.
