Mortal's Purple Sky Cave Heaven

Chapter 483 Knowing
The body remained motionless, as if it were a dead object.

A silver nascent soul, about a foot tall, hovered several feet above the body's head, staring eerily at a corner of the secret chamber.

The nascent soul held a cyan longsword in both hands, while three hundred and sixty-five Five Elements Divine Thunder Flying Swords nearby protected the physical body and the nascent soul completely.

Surrounding the flying swords were a small emerald green shuttle, a small blue cauldron, and a black cloth, all spinning around them.

The reason it is considered strange is that on the small face of the nascent soul, one eye flashes with a reddish-blue spiritual light, while the other eye is bright red like blood and is split in two from the middle of the bridge of the nose, showing two completely different expressions.

One half of his face was contorted with grotesque muscles, while the other half was calm and had a cold look in his eyes.

It was as if there were two different consciousnesses within the nascent soul.

In the corner where the Nascent Soul was gazing, a black mist the size of a head was churning and making strange, wailing noises.

The moment this sound entered one's ears, it immediately made one restless and agitated, making it difficult to calm one's mind. It was also highly seductive, arousing one's murderous intent.

Stimulated by the strange cry, the half of the nascent soul's face, now in a frenzy, gleamed with an increasingly intense bloodlust, its killing intent surging, as if it were about to lose even its last shred of reason at any moment.

The strange cries emanating from the black mist grew increasingly excited, exerting their bewitching power to the fullest extent.

However, things did not develop in the way it had expected. After reaching an extreme, the madness in the Nascent Soul's face gradually subsided, and the bloodlust in its eyes began to fade.

"Impossible! Impossible! No one can withstand my Heavenly Demonic Sound without the aid of a treasure!" The black energy surged wildly, revealing a terrifying ghost face without eyes or nose, filled with disbelief.

"A mere avatar of an extraterrestrial demon dares to try and disturb my mind while my inner demons are invading? That's a gross underestimation of me. Speaking of which, I should thank you. Without your training, my mental fortitude wouldn't be as strong as it is now." The nascent soul smiled calmly, and without hesitation, it opened its mouth, unleashing a chaotic arc of lightning.

"Aaaaah! You've been using me all along!" Ghost Face roared in resentment.

With a deafening roar, the Chaos Divine Lightning struck the ghost mask with perfect accuracy.

It gritted its teeth in hatred, suddenly let out a piercing shriek, and the next moment it became indistinct, eventually turning into a wisp of black smoke, which was swept away into nothingness under the ravages of divine thunder.

The nascent soul slowly closed its eyes, and its distorted face gradually disappeared. When it opened its eyes again, they were clear as ever.

"Not bad. I was worried that with the successive breakthroughs in realms, my mental state wouldn't be able to keep up with the improvement in cultivation. But after experiencing the tempering of my heart by the demon from beyond the heavens, my mental state has become stable. Even if I immediately go into seclusion to cultivate again, I don't need to worry about my mental state being unstable and affecting my cultivation progress." The Nascent Soul murmured to himself in a barely audible voice, with a hint of joy.

Of course, this was also because Nie Zhaonan was confident that his soul was protected by the Purple Heaven Cave, making it impossible for him to be possessed by a demon from beyond the heavens, which is why he dared to do this.

Then, the Nascent Soul threw the cyan longsword in his hand above his head, quickly made a hand seal, and closed his eyes again.

Five-colored runes pierced through the top of the secret chamber and fell down, filling the entire chamber with dazzling spiritual light.

At the same time, a wonderful fragrance emanated from the flesh below.

But the nascent soul seemed oblivious, desperately absorbing the five-colored runes formed from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the void. Its body grew little by little at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Half an hour later, Nie Zhaonan's nascent soul had grown to the size of his physical body as shown below.

At this moment, the true dragon's image in the void suddenly transformed into a pillar of light and shrank back into the cave.

A vast amount of primordial energy descended into the secret chamber, desperately pouring into the nascent soul and physical body.

The skin on the body began to become crystal clear, and the fragrance emitted became increasingly rich.

The nascent soul above, in just a few breaths, solidified like a crystal amidst flashes of silver light. However, its eyes were tightly closed, and it floated in the air as if it were nothing, its brows filled with pain.

A powerful, scorching spiritual energy filled its body.

The primordial energy of heaven and earth in the secret chamber was completely absorbed. At this moment, a tremendous suction force erupted from the physical body below. The nascent soul, without any power to resist, suddenly shrank more than tenfold, flashed with silver light, and disappeared into the crown of the physical body, returning to its original form.

The scorching spiritual energy that was originally filling the nascent soul suddenly found an outlet and poured wildly into the physical body.

Nie Zhaonan's already exceptionally crystalline body became even more transparent, like glass, as the scorching spiritual energy surged into it.

Even the golden bones within the flesh and blood can be clearly seen.

At the same time, countless tiny streams of scorching spiritual energy flowed rapidly through his meridians from his dantian, making Nie Zhaonan feel exceptionally comfortable wherever they passed.

Finally, all the spiritual energy converged and rushed into the head on its own.

With a muffled thud, as if shackles had been broken, a tingling sensation that penetrated deep into the soul spread throughout the entire body!
"The fusion is complete!" Nie Zhaonan exclaimed involuntarily, his voice brimming with excitement.

"Success!" Upon seeing the true dragon's image vanish in a flash, both Fairy Silver Light and Zen Master Jin Yue exclaimed in unison.

Just then, a leisurely voice drifted over to this place:
"Silver Fairy, Zen Master Jin Yue, you two have been waiting outside for a long time. Please come in and have a chat."

Silver Fairy and Zen Master Jin Yue exchanged a glance, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.

When you first advance to the Integration stage, your cultivation level is somewhat unstable. You shouldn't immediately sit in meditation to suppress the negative effects of a rapid increase in your cultivation level.
"Seniors, please follow us." Nangong Wan invited them with a happy expression, and then led the way with the other sisters.

Upon hearing this, and with many questions in their minds, the two hesitated for a moment before slowly following after them.

Before long, the group appeared at the entrance of the cave. However, Fairy Silver Light and Zen Master Jin Yue did not enter immediately, but instead waited quietly in place.

"Congratulations on your great success in cultivation, my husband!" As soon as they entered the hall, Wang Ning, Yuan Yao, Nangong Wan, and the other Daoist couples immediately stepped forward with joyful expressions and bowed in unison.

The women were all incredibly beautiful and charming, filling the air with fragrance and creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene!

"Hehe, this is indeed something to celebrate, but two fellow Daoists are still waiting outside, so I'll trouble you ladies to wait a while." Nie Zhaonan's heart fluttered, but he still suppressed the excitement in his heart.

"We will obey our husband's orders." Wang Ning and the others naturally had no objections.

Nie Zhaonan nodded slightly, then with a wave of his hand, released the ice phoenix from the cave and said with a smile, "If it weren't for Feng'er's help this time, it would be uncertain whether I could have successfully advanced. You've worked hard too, go and rest with them."

"Hmm." Bingfeng gave a soft "hmm" and, surrounded by Wang Ning and the other girls, walked deeper into the cave.

"Sister Bingfeng, you seem a little different!"

"Better looking."

Flowers are naturally more beautiful when nourished by rain and dew.

"There's an added touch of allure in her eyes. She's truly captivating!"

"How does it feel to truly be a woman?"

The women had endless questions and chatter. Bingfeng had never been besieged like this before, and being a new bride, she was quite shy and couldn't answer anything.

Such is the blessing of having two wives!

After watching the women disappear, Nie Zhaonan smiled slightly and whispered a few words, but no sound came out.

However, the Silver Fairy and Zen Master Jin Yue, who were outside the cave, twitched their ears slightly, as if they had heard something. After exchanging a glance, they immediately entered the cave one after the other.

A short while later, the two took their seats in the hall.

Looking at Nie Zhaonan in the main seat, the eyes behind the Silver Fairy mask narrowed, "You have indeed advanced to the Fusion stage. Congratulations."

On the other side, Zen Master Jin Yue also smiled and said, "Jin Yue from Tianyuan City greets fellow Daoist."

"You two are too kind! You've come all this way, and I hope you won't mind that I couldn't come out to greet you properly." Nie Zhaonan smiled slightly and returned the greeting with equal courtesy.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Nie has just advanced to the Integration Realm and is currently consolidating his cultivation. The fact that he would meet with us at this time shows that he values ​​us very much." Zen Master Jin Yue still had a smile on his face.

"Fellow Daoist Nie, you truly have remarkable skills. To be able to cultivate from the early stage of Void Refinement to the Integration stage in such a short time, without revealing anything to me beforehand, is truly admirable. After all, I am a demon, and although we have some relationship, there is not much trust between us." Fairy Silverlight said with some emotion.

"Hehe, the reason I was able to cultivate so quickly is mostly due to the efforts of my master. There's not much to say about it to outsiders." Nie Zhaonan showed a hint of apology on his face.

"Who exactly is your master? Why did a true dragon dharma form appear when you advanced?" Fairy Silverlight asked, voicing her curiosity.

"There can't be any connection between the two, can there?" Zen Master Jin Yue wondered.

"The reason I was able to cultivate the True Dragon Dharma Form is naturally because I practiced a technique from the True Dragon Clan. As for my master's identity and background, Zen Master Jin Yue's guess is quite correct." Nie Zhaonan smiled and refused to say more.

Even so, it was enough to make the Silver Fairy and her companion's expressions change drastically.

The True Dragon Clan's cultivation techniques, and the master is also a True Dragon—this background far surpasses that of anyone from either the human or demon races.

"The true dragon that Ancestor Ao Xiao encountered before, could it be your master?" Fairy Silver Light quickly came back to her senses and finally couldn't suppress her doubts, so she asked.

Upon hearing this, Nie Zhaonan's expression immediately froze.

Master should have left long ago and returned to the True Dragon Realm. How could we have encountered Ancestor Ao Xiao!

Nie Zhaonan asked Fairy Silverlight for some more details.

But after receiving answers such as "early stage of fusion", "power of ice attribute laws", and "exquisite appearance", Nie Zhaonan's heart sank to the bottom, and his face became extremely ugly.

He now even suspected that the white figure he saw with his spiritual eye in the Tomb of Sunset was his master himself, and not some illusion at all.

What puzzled him most was that, under those circumstances, his master did not take action to eliminate the sect, but instead continued to conceal himself and pretended not to know anything.
Nie Zhaonan was filled with a myriad of thoughts.

"What's wrong? You seem a bit off." Seeing Nie Zhaonan's displeasure and gloomy expression, Fairy Silverlight said hesitantly.

"It's nothing, I was just too shocked to hear the news about Master." Nie Zhaonan quickly put the distracting thoughts out of his mind and regained his composure.

Regardless of the reason why his master ignored his blasphemy, it was ultimately not a bad thing for him.

Since Master didn't intervene when he broke through the bottleneck of the Fusion Realm, and was in a critical and weak state, it's even less likely that he would intervene afterward.

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Nie is actually able to take a True Dragon as his master, no wonder his advancement speed is so fast." Zen Master Jin Yue smiled and remarked, then went straight to the point:

"Fellow Daoist should also be aware of the situation in Tianyuan City. Now, among the ascended cultivators in the Elder Council, only this old monk remains. Although I have heard from Fairy Silverlight that you have no intention of joining any other forces, as an ascended cultivator myself, I would still like to invite you to join our city."

“Fellow Daoist Nie is also aware that we ascended cultivators are somewhat different from native cultivators of the Spirit Realm, and Tianyuan City is home to nine out of ten ascended cultivators. If you and I work together to protect them, the situation of ascended cultivators should be able to improve somewhat.”

Upon hearing this, Nie Zhaonan's expression became somewhat solemn, but after a few glances, he slowly shook his head.
"As one of the ascended cultivators, I know that ascended cultivators are often sent to carry out more dangerous missions. But this is not something that the two of you can change. Moreover, what I dislike most in my life is internal strife, so I am even less willing to get involved in this matter."

“Fellow Daoist, don’t refuse so readily. Let’s hear about the benefits first, and then we can talk about other things,” Zen Master Jin Yue said with a smile.

"Please speak, Zen Master?" Nie Zhaonan nodded slightly.

After pondering for a moment, Zen Master Jin Yue slowly said:

"By joining the Elders' Council, you will immediately receive the treatment of a Nascent Soul stage elder. Not only will you have an astonishing amount of spirit stones, but you will also have priority in exchanging for treasures that cannot be measured in spirit stones. Members of the Elders' Council in this city also frequently exchange their usual cultivation gains and insights into cultivation techniques. If you join this city, you will definitely benefit greatly in your future cultivation."

"Compared to what the Zen master said, I would rather go to the wilderness to seek opportunities." Nie Zhaonan did not directly refuse, but his words made his meaning clear.

“Indeed, seeking opportunities in the wilderness is the fastest way to improve one’s cultivation level. Since you’ve said so, I won’t try to persuade you any further.” Zen Master Jin Yue saw that Nie Zhaonan had made up his mind, sighed softly, and then stopped mentioning the invitation.
