Mortal's Purple Sky Cave Heaven

Chapter 452 Don't Call Me 'Husband'

After hesitating for a moment, Nie Zhaonan flicked his sleeve. After the light shone down, the talismans seemed to lose their magic power and floated down, and the box lid slowly opened on its own.

A few inches long, shimmering with a pale white light, appeared in the box.

Seeing her husband so serious for the first time, Yuan Yao's bright eyes were filled with curiosity as she stared intently.

This thing is somewhat long and flat, with a pale yellow surface. One end is rounded, while the other end is as flat as if cut with a knife, resembling a small, flat, round wooden stick.

However, it is only about half a foot long, and can only be held in one hand.

But what puzzled her was that the surface of the stick was covered with some unknown dark green patterns, which looked neither like gold nor wood, and were extremely strange.

"What is this?" Yuan Yao asked casually.

"Mysterious Heaven Fruit".

Nie Zhaonan uttered only four words, but Yuan Yao was startled upon hearing them, and her delicate body trembled slightly.

While in the True Dragon Realm, although she stayed peacefully in the Purple Cloud Cave, she read many books from the True Dragon Realm and naturally understood what the Mysterious Heaven Fruit was!

Only the Xuan Tian Plant, born at the beginning of the chaos of a world, is a heaven-defying thing containing the power of the laws of a world. After growing for hundreds of thousands, even millions of years, it can finally bear the Xuan Tian Fruit!
"With this in hand, my husband's strength will increase dramatically again." Yuan Yao did not ask about the origin of the Xuan Tian Fruit, but subconsciously stretched out her slender jade fingers and stroked it a few times.

It feels incredibly smooth to the touch, with a slight elasticity, and it's not cold at all, but rather has a comfortable warmth with a hint of coolness.

As if struck by lightning, Yuan Yao withdrew her curious little hand as if she had been electrocuted.

"Yao'er, are you thinking dirty thoughts?" Nie Zhaonan's lips curled into a wicked smile.

"Having experienced so many similar situations with my husband, how could I not have wild thoughts?" Yuan Yao said coquettishly, burying her head in his chest, too ashamed to look at the Xuan Tian Fruit again.

Nie Zhaonan gently patted her shoulder, comforting the beauty in his arms, while the smile on his face gradually faded.

After harvesting the fruit, even though the Xuan Tian Immortal Vine was planted in the wondrous cave-heaven spiritual field, just as he had already predicted, the entire vine immediately withered and turned to ashes.

Even Nie Zhaonan, who was prepared, could only sigh inwardly.

Xuan Tian items are, after all, heaven-defying items containing the laws of a realm, and cannot be reused like other spiritual plants.

Thinking of this, Nie Zhaonan did not hesitate for long. He opened his mouth and a ball of golden blood essence the size of an infant's fist slowly flew out. As soon as the blood essence left his mouth, his face immediately turned a little pale.

The moment the fist-sized essence blood came into contact with the Xuan Tian Fruit, the fruit immediately flashed white light and absorbed the essence blood completely beneath its skin.

At this moment, the Xuan Tian Fruit, whose original pale yellow skin turned bright red in the blink of an eye, disappeared in a flash and returned to normal.

Next, a clear, melodious sound emanated from the fruit, resounding throughout the entire cave.

At the same time, Nie Zhaonan felt a slight connection with the Xuan Tian Fruit in his hand. Although it was very weak, it made him overjoyed.

"Successful recognition of the Lord!"

It was also because he had mastered several body-refining techniques and his body-refining cultivation had reached an extremely high level that he was able to establish a connection with the Xuan Tian Fruit by consuming only a ball of blood the size of an infant's fist.

If it were an ordinary early-stage Void Refinement cultivator, it would probably be drained dry by the Xuan Tian Fruit, and even that wouldn't satisfy its needs.

With a thought, he poured most of his magical power into the fruit in his hand. With such a large amount of pure and powerful magical power, the dark green patterns on the surface of the fruit wriggled and transformed into countless unknown and mysterious runes, each the size of a grain of rice, densely covering its surface.

At the same time, countless five-colored light spots appeared all around, and they rushed towards the Xuan Tian Fruit like moths to a flame.

With a "whoosh," a flash of emerald light appeared at one end of the Xuan Tian Fruit, and suddenly a three-foot-long, shimmering sword blade shot out.

The blade was exceptionally bright green, with a smooth, mirror-like surface. However, at the center of the blade, there was a row of strange, unusual green runes.

There are five in total, arranged in a straight line.

Such a commotion naturally startled Yuan Yao in his arms. At this moment, she was slightly stunned as she looked at the emerald longsword in her husband's hand, which seemed to pierce the sky, and murmured:

"This is the Xuan Tian Treasure!"

“Not bad.” Gripping the sword in his hand, Nie Zhaonan flicked his wrist and swung it high into the sky.

A flash of emerald sword light appeared, leaving a white sword mark in the void, followed by a surging, explosive spatial storm.
"With just a casual strike, it cleaved through space. The power of the Xuan Tian Treasure is truly unimaginable," Yuan Yao exclaimed.

"It's not something an ordinary cultivator can do to activate this sword. Without a powerful physical body or strong divine sense to support it, only a Nascent Soul cultivator can activate this sword using only magic power." Nie Zhaonan let out a slight breath as he watched the void passage gradually close.

After swinging his sword, the Xuan Tian Fruit returned to its original state and plunged into his wrist without his summons, leaving a dark green sword-shaped pattern there.

"Husband, are you alright?" Yuan Yao asked with concern when she looked away and noticed her husband's pale face.

"It's nothing, just a little bit of essence and blood was consumed. I believe my cultivation will recover on its own in a few days," Nie Zhaonan said nonchalantly, while putting a blood-red pill that had appeared out of nowhere into his mouth and swallowing it.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Yao felt a sense of relief. She knew, of course, that her husband possessed many healing pills, all of which were remarkably effective.

"Yao'er, you should have thought about what I told you last time, right?" After finishing his business, Nie Zhaonan held the delicate body in his arms and asked with a flicker of emotion.

"Mmm." Yuan Yao nodded slightly and gave a soft "Mmm."

"You truly are my beloved Yao'er!"

"Husband, don't be in such a hurry," Yuan Yao said, stopping her husband as he was about to act.
"Not only did I agree, but the other sisters agreed as well. However, we're not without conditions; we can only accompany our husband in his whims within this Purple Cloud Grotto."

Upon hearing this, Nie Zhaonan's eyes lit up, and without hesitation, he agreed: "Whatever you say, Yao'er, hurry!"

"My husband is so lustful," Yuan Yao muttered softly, but her body shone with a radiant light.

After the light faded, an even more slender and graceful figure, dressed in a pure white dress, appeared in Nie Zhaonan's arms.

Her face was exquisitely beautiful, her expression serene, her demeanor graceful, and she possessed an innate elegance and aloofness.

Who else could it be but his beautiful master?
"My lord, how is my transformation technique?" 'Yue Li' asked, her voice no longer that of Yuan Yao's soft and tender voice.

“Not bad, your appearance is almost perfect, but other aspects are lacking. Also, don’t call me ‘husband’.” Nie Zhaonan nodded slightly and said this.

'Yue Li' understood and made a move to get up, but at that moment Nie Zhaonan suddenly moved, like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.
The pristine white palace dress was torn to shreds and scattered haphazardly on the ground.
"You traitor, what are you doing!"

"Of course, we should respect our teachers and value their teachings!"

"you"

Nearly a month later, the alluring scenery in the grotto ended, and Yuan Yao had returned to normal, dressed in a black gauze dress, helping her husband put on his clothes.

"Yao'er, I'm sorry you had to go through this." Looking at Yuan Yao's beautiful face, Nie Zhaonan felt sorry for her.

"I'm not aggrieved at all. On the contrary, my husband's idea is quite exciting. Yuan Yao has experienced a feeling she has never had before." Her voice was soft and gentle, like a flower nourished by the morning dew, and it was extremely pleasant to hear.

"If you like it, that's all the better." Nie Zhaonan smiled slightly. Both of them were enjoying themselves, and that was the best outcome.

"Husband, you must show more respect to Senior Yue Li. You can't treat me like you did before," Yuan Yao whispered as she helped her husband fasten his belt.

"Of course I understand, I can distinguish between pleasure and reality." Nie Zhaonan pinched Yuan Yao's cheek affectionately, put his arm around her slender waist, and then the two of them disappeared into the Purple Cloud Cave.

Just as the two left Zixiao Cave Heaven, in the Heavenly Spirit Realm of the human race, which was countless billions of miles away from Tianyuan City, at the center of a small island floating in the sky tens of thousands of miles high, a crystal jade disc, hundreds of feet tall and covered with gold and silver runes, suddenly shone with golden light.

At the same time, it emitted a series of clear chirping sounds that soared into the sky and spread throughout the entire island.

The two brocade-robed cultivators who had been sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed beneath the jade wall simultaneously opened their eyes in surprise.

"It's golden light! Could it be that some powerful, heaven-reaching treasure has appeared again?" one of them exclaimed with a mixture of surprise and delight.

About a month ago, two extraordinary treasures appeared in the world at the same time.

An item called the Void Heaven Cauldron is only ranked at the end of this list.

Another flying treasure called the Azure Shuttle is even more powerful and ranks much higher.

The other person didn't speak, but his eyes, gazing at the jade disc, also revealed a look of joy.

A moment later, the golden light on the jade disc gradually faded. The golden runes that were originally in the second row below the top of the jade disc suddenly blurred slightly, and then, in a flash, they strangely moved down one row at the same time.

However, in the empty third row, another row of unfamiliar bronze script appeared.

The two people below, who were excitedly looking at the jade disc, suddenly froze on their faces. They stared at the third line of gold script, their eyes wide open, as if they had turned into puppets in an instant.

"A Xuan Tian treasure! A Xuan Tian treasure has actually appeared in the world! The 'Xuan Tian Spirit-Slaying Sword,' this newly appeared Xuan Tian artifact is even ranked third!" After an unknown amount of time, one of the withered old men murmured unconsciously.

The other person seemed to have regained consciousness as well, but was pale-faced and filled with extreme fear. He hurriedly spoke:

"Quickly! Quickly inform Ancestor Ao Xiao and Senior Mo!"

"I never expected that you two seniors would encounter such a thing after making the trip to our Holy Island," the withered old man sighed, then immediately took out a communication jade tablet and whispered something.

A moment later, two blinding beams of light shot up from the island and disappeared in a flash, landing beneath the jade wall.

The two men stationed there bowed respectfully upon seeing the two seniors arrive, and then withdrew.

Beneath the jade disc topped with the five large golden characters 'Chaos Myriad Spirits Ranking', Ao Xiao and Mo Jianli stood for a long time.

"Brother Ao, your guess is correct. That Fellow Daoist Yue Li really did come for the Xuan Tian Treasure. The third-ranked 'Xuan Tian Spirit-Slaying Sword'!" Mo Jianli's eyes turned cold:
"The last great war of the hundred races in the Spirit Realm was also caused by the 'Transformation Shield,' which was ranked third before and is now ranked fourth. Its original owner fled across three continents for ten thousand years with the 'Transformation Shield,' drawing in seven or eight out of ten races in the entire Spirit Realm. Those weak races that were wiped out almost all became the objects of blood sacrifice."

According to ancient legends, if a large number of powerful creatures are wiped out in a certain area within a certain period of time, a mysterious treasure located in that area can be forcibly summoned through a blood sacrifice method.

"This time, the Xuan Tian Zhan Ling Sword should be in the northwest corner of our Feng Yuan Continent, or even not far from our human race. Brother Ao, what do you think?" Finally, Mo Jianli asked with some speculation.

"What do you think, Mo Laogui?" Ao Xiao asked instead of answering.

"How about we join forces to search for this treasure? If we are lucky enough to obtain it, we can use it as an offering to recruit a True Spirit level being as the guardian of our human and demon races. In this way, our human and demon races can also leap to become powerful races in the spirit realm." Mo Jianli seemed to have already thought it through, and said it without hesitation.

Ao Xiao shook his head and said in a heavy voice:

"Old Ghost, don't forget that Fellow Daoist Yue Li seems to have come for this very reason. If we truly obtain the 'Mysterious Heaven Spirit-Slaying Sword,' in order not to offend the True Dragon Clan, we have no choice but to hand it over to her. Moreover, even though this Mysterious Heaven Treasure has just matured, it is still a heaven-defying treasure containing the laws of a realm, naturally able to resist the power of divination and calculation. Deducing its approximate location is extremely difficult. Not to mention that this Mysterious Heaven Treasure is very likely located in an ancient secret place, making it impossible to find. Therefore, I think we shouldn't waste our time."

“Brother Ao’s words are not without reason. After all, our human and demon races are not powerful groups. It is indeed not advisable to participate in things that could easily lead to the extermination of our race. It was I who was greedy.” Mo Jianli turned his gaze and looked deeply at the third line of text on the jade wall, and sighed.

"Who could resist the allure of such a treasure? If I were tens of thousands of years younger, I might have agreed to Brother Mo's offer. But I am currently in dire need of my own safety, and even whether I can successfully overcome the next great calamity is uncertain." Ao Xiao sighed.

"Brother Ao." Mo Jianli wanted to say something to comfort him, but found himself at a loss for words.
