Mortal's Purple Sky Cave Heaven

Chapter 481 Xuan Tian Reappears
“Sister Yuling, you have just broken through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm. If you continue like this, you will be able to advance to the Void Refinement realm in three to five hundred years at most.”

"Hmph, Wang Ning, you only have a special physique, otherwise... otherwise how could your cultivation speed be so much faster than mine?" Ling Yuling snorted angrily, then pounced on Wang Ning in a fit of pique.

"Sister Yuling, guess how many years I plan to start working on my breakthrough?" Wang Ning was not annoyed at all by the sudden attack on her ample bosom, but instead smiled and said.

"What does this have to do with me?" Ling Yuling said, but her hands froze, and she instantly lost her joy.

"It'll be a little over a hundred years soon. Soon I'll become the Void Refinement cultivator you envy," Wang Ning chuckled and teased.

"I thought you could break through right now?" Ling Yuling was still unconvinced and said stubbornly, while speeding up her attacks.

Wang Ningyu's smile froze for a moment, and then she stopped talking about the matter, focusing all her attention on her 'struggle' with Ling Yuling.

The two girls then began to play and frolic in front of their other sisters, their cries and laughter rising and falling.

One day, two days
A full half month has passed, and the Ice Phoenix still sits cross-legged in the void, without making a single move.

Only the five-colored light curtain surrounding her became even more crystalline and dazzling.

On this day, Bingfeng's body trembled, and after a burst of five-colored light swirled around her, she finally opened her eyes.

Before his eyes, not far in front of him stood the familiar figure in a black robe, a smile on his face.

"Husband~" Bingfeng's voice was full of joy as soon as she opened her eyes and saw the person she had been longing for day and night.

"Feng'er, how do you feel after advancing to the Void Refinement stage?" Nie Zhaonan swayed his shoulder and was right in front of her. Their eyes met, and they were very close.

"Putting everything else aside, the previously vague spiritual energy of heaven and earth has now become exceptionally clear. The level of control I have over it is worlds apart from that of the Nascent Soul stage." Suddenly, Ice Phoenix raised her jade arm and grabbed at the nearby void.

With a hissing sound, five seemingly tangible crystalline rays shot out from the fingertips. Immediately afterward, a few points of spiritual light flashed nearby, and countless tiny, five-colored light spots appeared out of thin air, all flashing into the crystalline rays.

Immediately, the crystal light intensified, and a crystal-clear, five-colored hand mysteriously emerged from the void.

“With every gesture, any technique can be made much more powerful under the blessing of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. This is the difference between a Void Refinement cultivator and a Nascent Soul cultivator. If one uses a divine power that specifically borrows the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, its power will become even more terrifying, and it is very possible that it will become several times stronger out of thin air,” Nie Zhaonan slowly explained.

"Hmm." Ice Phoenix showed a satisfied expression, and with a wave of her hand, the crystal hand beside her instantly disintegrated and disappeared.

"Husband...when does my primordial yin take away from me? Now...now I have advanced to the Refining Void Realm, and my primordial yin power is already usable." Ice Phoenix lowered her head slightly, her voice weak and somewhat stuttering as she asked.

"Feng'er, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Stroking her slightly flushed cheeks, Nie Zhaonan's expression was full of tenderness. "I won't keep you waiting any longer. I will raise my cultivation to the peak of the Void Refinement stage as soon as possible. You know, I don't lack elixirs for cultivation, so it won't take too long. When I break through to the Body Integration stage, I will need Feng'er's help. I just don't know if Feng'er will change her mind."

"Hmph, apart from that place, my body has been played with by my husband countless times, so why would I be unwilling?" Having roughly obtained the answer, Bingfeng gave a coquettish laugh, a hint of joy on her jade-like face.

"Alright, I know you're having a hard time. I was originally planning to go into seclusion immediately. But today is the joyous day of your advancement to the Void Refinement stage, so I naturally have to celebrate with you."

Nie Zhaonan embraced Bingfeng's slender waist, and with a soft cry from her, the two of them disappeared.

In the center of the Purple Cloud Cave Heaven, at the very center of the Myriad Trees Array, where the spiritual energy is most refined and abundant, two intertwined figures emerged.

An extremely tempting sweet fragrance filled the air, and Nie Zhaonan felt an urgent need for gentleness to soothe him.

Now, Ice Phoenix has long lost her shyness and has regained her true nature as the Lord of the Ice Sea, teasing her man like a charming fairy.

A pair of round, firm thighs were clamped between them.

Nie Zhaonan let out a low growl.
Time flies, and more than two hundred years have passed since Ice Phoenix advanced to the Void Refinement stage.

During this period, nothing major happened between the human and demon races.

However, another extraordinary treasure appeared, named the "Mysterious Heavenly Heart-Saving Shield," which ranked fourth on the Chaos Myriad Spirits Ranking, once again causing a sensation throughout the entire Spirit Realm.

Within five hundred years, two top-ranking Xuan Tian treasures have appeared in succession. This unprecedented event has truly surprised the hundred races of the Spirit Realm, who have been discussing it for a long time.

However, precisely because of this, the spirit world is once again in turmoil.

The frequent, almost simultaneous gatherings of high-ranking officials from various ethnic groups seemed to be brewing something.

Almost all the well-informed beings from various tribes sensed the eerie calm before the storm and began to take precautions, secretly alarmed.

As the frontier where humans and other races meet, Tianyuan City naturally sensed some changes. At the very least, the cultivators patrolling outside clearly noticed that alien spies were appearing more and more frequently.

As is customary, after celebrating the three women Wang Ning, Yuan Yao, and Nangong Wan's successive attainment of the Void Refinement stage, Nie Zhaonan, who had returned to Zixiao Cave Heaven for another period of seclusion, also received a message from Bingfeng.

When he heard that the 'Mysterious Heaven Heart-Calling Shield' had been created, he was first stunned, and then he immediately thought of Han Li.

Apart from Han Li, he really couldn't think of anyone else who could have such great fortune and opportunity.

As Nie Zhaonan had guessed, Han Li, after serving as the Qingming Guard in Tianyuan City for only a few decades, unintentionally activated the Xuan Tian Fruit in his possession after some tinkering.

Although he had guessed the truth, Nie Zhaonan had no intention of leaving seclusion. After all, he had reached a critical moment in his cultivation and could not afford to be distracted.

And so, Nie Zhaonan cultivated in the Zixiao Cave for more than thirty years.

On this day, Nie Zhaonan's figure silently appeared in the main hall of Luofeng Mountain Cave.

"Husband, you've emerged from seclusion so quickly. Could it be that you've already raised your cultivation to this limit?" Sensing the unfathomable aura emanating from the hall, a spatial rift appeared in the void, and Bing Feng stepped out from it with light, graceful movements.

"Feng'er, you guessed right. I am now at the peak of the Void Refinement realm, and there is no way to advance further. Feng'er, are you ready?" Nie Zhaonan asked with a smile as he looked at the beauty in front of him.

"My husband has just finished his seclusion, and now he's about to start again. Won't his foundation be a little unstable?" An alluring blush appeared on Bingfeng's fair face.

Sensing the concern in her voice, Nie Zhaonan naturally didn't hide anything and slowly explained: "Although I have always taken pills to aid my cultivation, every ten years or so after practicing the 'Taiyi Divine Thunder Technique,' I switch to the 'Nine Revolutions True Dragon Technique' to improve my body refinement and solidify my foundation. With my magical power and body refinement cycling back and forth like this, even though my realm has increased so much in over two hundred years, it hasn't been superficial at all. This is probably because both of these techniques are celestial realm cultivation methods, which are extraordinary. Now my magical power, essence, and spirit are all perfected, and it's time to break through in one fell swoop."

"As for the success rate of the breakthrough, you don't need to worry. Even without you, I'm 30% confident."

"A 30% chance! My husband's cultivation technique is truly miraculous!" Bingfeng knew exactly where this 30% chance came from, but her beautiful face still showed surprise.

"Feng'er, are you ready?" Nie Zhaonan smiled slightly, his gaze gradually moving downwards until it stopped below her lower abdomen, and asked again.

"Thanks to the pills my husband gave me, I have made great strides in the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm, and I should be able to help my husband even more now." Bingfeng took the initiative to wrap her jade arms around his neck, and the meaning in her words was all too clear.

Nie Zhaonan smiled slightly, picked up her slender legs with one hand, and carried her delicate body towards a secret room.

In a cave in the southeast corner of Luofeng Mountain, an old man with white hair was meditating and cultivating his qi when he suddenly felt the ground tremble, and the entire secret chamber shook.

The old man was shocked. He opened his eyes abruptly, and was about to shout and ask the maid in the cave something when his expression changed drastically again.

A burst of spiritual light emanated from his body, and he instantly transformed into a streak of light, flying out of the secret chamber.

A short while later, the white-haired old man appeared on a mountain peak, looking solemnly at the sacred land ahead.

A moment later, several more streaks of light shot down from the sky and landed beside the old man.

"Another celestial phenomenon. If I remember correctly, this is the fifth time that a celestial phenomenon has appeared in Fellow Daoist Nie's spiritual land. Who is about to advance to the Void Refinement stage this time?" A handsome middle-aged cultivator said somewhat numbly.

"That shouldn't be the case. Although two or three of Fellow Daoist Nie's partners have recently reached the peak of the Nascent Soul realm, it's impossible for them to break through so quickly." A pretty young woman murmured, seemingly aware of the situation.

"This isn't a breakthrough to the Void Refinement stage; it's clearly someone advancing to the Body Integration stage!" The white-haired old man stared intently at the celestial phenomenon ahead, his weathered eyes filled with extreme solemnity.

Upon hearing this, the other cultivators present all looked up in surprise.

In the distance, dozens of enormous, silvery pillars of light appeared out of nowhere in the sacred land.

Each one was over a hundred feet tall, with pale golden runes flashing on its surface, dazzlingly bright.

In the sky above the spiritual land, as far as the eye could see, there were countless colorful points of light floating in dense clusters, sweeping towards the center from all directions. The sheer scale of the waves was like being in the middle of a vast ocean.

Some people sensed it and their faces immediately turned pale.

Within its divine sense range, all the primordial energy of heaven and earth went berserk, converging towards the center of the spiritual land.

Several other spiritual veins in nearby spiritual lands spewed out far more spiritual energy than usual, drawing strong attention and swarming towards them.

In the blink of an eye, a large expanse of five-colored spiritual clouds gathered above the spiritual land in front of them, completely covering the sky.

A series of thunderclaps arose, and streaks of purple lightning emerged from the clouds, flashing and intertwining like purple electric snakes, appearing and disappearing in the clouds.

Suddenly, a dragon's roar came from the center of the spiritual land, followed by an explosion of immense spiritual pressure.

The spiritual pressure was so strong that it was unbelievable. Even though they were thousands of miles away, the human cultivators around them felt their bodies sink. Those with weaker cultivation and spiritual senses fell over and fainted.

Even those with profound cultivation, like the white-haired old man, suddenly went black and knelt down on one knee.

"We are cultivators at the Void Refinement stage! How can we be so strong!" These people were naturally both shocked and furious.

But before they could take any action, bursts of chanting suddenly emanated from the five-colored spiritual clouds, and various runes appeared in the clouds.

Just then, a low growl, unlike a human voice, came from the center of the spiritual land. Then, a beam of silver light shot out and, as the light dissipated, it turned into a silver phantom.

This silver phantom stretched for thousands of feet, with eyes like an eagle, antlers on its head, silver-white scales, four incredibly long tentacles, and enormous five claws—it was clearly a real dragon.

As soon as the true dragon appeared, the five-colored spiritual clouds in the sky responded with thunderous roars, and numerous purple lightning snakes shot towards a single point in the clouds, transforming into a giant purple dragon whose size was in no way inferior to that of the true dragon.

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

Seeing this, the true dragon showed no expression on its face, but simply flicked its tail lightly to meet the electric dragon.

With a loud 'boom,' the seemingly incomparably powerful purple electric dragon exploded in two under the force of this tail, turning into countless arcs of electricity that scattered in all directions.

The dragon suddenly raised its head, took a deep breath, and opened its mouth wide, spewing out a large amount of silver light.

The scattered arcs of electricity were instantly swept back in the silver light, enveloped, and sucked into the dragon's mouth.

In the blink of an eye, all the electric arcs vanished.

Not only that!

The illusory dragon showed no sign of stopping. After a burst of spiritual light flowing across its body, the silver light it emitted transformed into a thick pillar of light, which vanished in a flash into the five-colored spiritual clouds above its head.

A series of muffled sounds came from within the spiritual clouds, and the five-colored spiritual clouds began to rotate around the golden pillar of light.

Under the influence of a tremendous suction force, all sorts of runes flew out from the spiritual clouds, were then swept into the flashing silver light, and were finally sucked into the belly of the true dragon phantom.

In a short while, the silver pillar of light was covered with runes of various colors, which surged downwards like a tidal wave.

The dragon phantom's gaping maw, like a bottomless pit, absorbed so many runes without showing any change in expression.
