Nightmare Immortal Era

Chapter 106: First Heaven Sect · Snow Fairy

Sha Jia City is the largest city nearby.

Covering an area of 6 square kilometers, it has a permanent population of 54,000. The deity they believe in is called Jia Mu Liu. The main businesses in the city are gambling houses, flower streets, liquor stores, and restaurants.

The city has a gate, but it has been eroded by wind and sand and is in a dilapidated state. The soldiers standing at the gate are less than one meter and five centimeters tall, holding a weapon similar to a harpoon and dozing off.

But when Yang Ning approached, he immediately raised his head and said, "The entrance fee is ten wen!"

"Here you go!" Yang Ning handed over the money and confidently entered the city.

The city is still constructed with desert soil. On the left is the gambling house, and on the right is the flower street. The girls here are much cleaner than those in the small villages. They wear long red and white dresses and stand barefoot on the second-floor railings, playing with their hair.

Without reciting poems or singing songs, the guests who enter directly reveal their intentions and go to their rooms. The atmosphere here is much more open than Ocean Cloud City, far beyond comparison.

Yang Ning confidently entered a flower shop. A girl who was 160 centimeters tall, with deep-set eyes and dark skin, giving her an exotic look, immediately greeted him, "Sir, it's your first time here, right?"

"I have something to do!" Yang Ning pushed the girl away and rushed upstairs.

The girl was taken aback and hurriedly shouted, "Sir, sir, you can't do this. You can't disturb other guests."

"Boom!" Yang Ning kicked open a room door. "Police raid! Everyone, cover your heads and squat down!"

The room was extremely cramped, but the bed was not small. There were a man and a woman lying on it. The woman screamed and covered herself with a blanket, while the man reacted quickly, pulling out a bow and shooting an arrow.

Yang Ning grabbed the arrow, which had little strength, in one hand and threw it back, hitting the man's shoulder accurately.

Before the man could shoot a second arrow, it was broken, and the arrow hit the Jianjing acupoint, instantly rendering the young man unable to lift his shoulder, let alone shoot arrows.

"You're really weak!" Yang Ning kicked him out of the room onto the street and chased after him, stepping heavily on his chest. "Which sect are you from? Do you have any Purple Heart Stones on you?"

"I'm from the Heavenly Arrow Sect!" The young man hurriedly said, "I'm just a nobody. Spare me, big brother. I'll give you the Purple Heart Stone!"

"Just one?" Yang Ning caught the Purple Heart Stone that the young man threw and asked.

"Just one!" The young man said anxiously, "I don't have the strength to snatch more. After I came here, I didn't dare to go out at all. I've been lingering in this flower shop all day."

"You're doing this, and you managed to collect ten Purple Heart Stones?" Yang Ning asked, puzzled.

"What Purple Heart Stones?" The young man smiled bitterly. "As long as I survive here for a year, I will naturally be sent out by the great formation!"

"There's such a saying?" Yang Ning was taken aback and asked, "What great formation?"

"It's the trial formation set up when the Extreme Eternal Sect and the First Heaven Sect established the 'Taiyi Agreement'!" The young man said.

"What is the 'Taiyi Agreement'?"

"How would I know!" The young man replied speechlessly, "I'm just a disciple of a small sect. How could I be worthy of knowing the plans of these major sects? Big brother, you've taken my Purple Heartstone, so spare me. Let's not interfere with each other."

Yang Ning released his foot, realizing that this person was different from the previous few.

Those few people pretended to surrender in order to plan a counterattack, or to lower his guard. Killing such people would be justified.

But this person, he truly surrendered.

There was no point in forcing him any further.

"Alright, you can go on!" Yang Ning waved his hand and headed towards the gambling house across the street.

Before long, another young man was kicked out.

Yang Ning noticed a pattern: he could judge a person's background based on their age.

The older they were, the later they entered the Ninth Layer of the physical body, indicating that their sect was weaker.

On the other hand, the two brothers just now, Manla and the others, looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, but they had already reached the Ninth Layer of the physical body.

This meant that their sect had strong strength, abundant resources, and strong educational capabilities, allowing their disciples to reach the Ninth Layer of the physical body at an early age.

If he were to see someone who was twelve or thirteen years old and already at the Ninth Layer of the physical body, that would be even more extraordinary.

Not only would this person's sect be formidable, but their own background potential would also be equally powerful, because it was impossible to achieve such progress through normal cultivation, only through the consumption of Divine Pills!

Of course, Yang Ning was an exception. He had the Spirit Realm, which allowed him to strengthen his physical body at the cellular level, a power even stronger than Divine Pills.

In less than half an hour, Yang Ning found the five disciples who participated in the test in Shajia City.

Those who were willing to enjoy life in the city naturally couldn't fight, so even though he defeated five people, Yang Ning only obtained five Purple Heartstones.

"I obtained seven on the first day, eleven yesterday, and five today. In total, it's been six days, and I've obtained twenty-four. That's an average of four per day. This efficiency is a bit low!"

He included the four days wasted studying the Red-Tailed Mind-Control Worm in the village.

According to the disciples of the Tianjian Sect, they could only stay here for a maximum of one year.

365 days, four stones per day, would only yield 1460 Purple Heartstones in a year.

If he didn't count the wasted four days, it would be equivalent to him obtaining twenty-four stones in three days, eight per day.

This efficiency was still quite low.

"The main problem is that the map area is too large, and there's no shrinking circle, so we can't encounter as many people! I thought I would encounter a lot in the city, but it turns out that everyone here is useless?"

Yang Ning felt that he couldn't continue searching aimlessly like this anymore; the efficiency was too low.

He found a shady spot and took out a purple heart stone.

"Deep Blue, project!"

In the next moment, a purple heart stone appeared in the Spirit Realm.

With a thought from Yang Ning, the purple heart stone separated into a red bead and a purple droplet.

"The red part is aluminum oxide, the color comes from chromium, and the content is between 0.1% and 3%!" Deep Blue said. "As for the purple droplet, the main components are calcium, aluminum, silicon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, potassium, and copper. However, there are some cavities in the lattice, which seem to be part of the spiritual material, so it cannot be projected here!"

Of course, Yang Ning knew that the purple heart stone was a spiritual material and couldn't be fully projected into the Spirit Realm, but a part of it would be enough.

"This material composition, is it tanzanite?" Yang Ning asked.

Tanzanite is a purple gemstone named after its discovery in Tanzania.

"No, tanzanite does not contain copper or potassium ions, and the composition of other elements is significantly different from tanzanite!" Deep Blue said. "Instead of calling it a stone, it would be more accurate to say it's a droplet of blood!"

Deep Blue compared the blood component table with the composition of the purple heart stone droplet, and it was indeed the case.

The content of various components in the purple droplet was very similar to that of human blood, especially when calcium and silicon were removed. The similarity between the content of the purple droplet and human blood reached 94%!

"A fossilized blood?" Yang Ning asked.

"Yes!" Deep Blue said. "This should be a fossil made from the blood of ancient creatures. Unfortunately, we don't have carbon-14 detection equipment here, otherwise we could determine how many years ago these fossils were!"

"It should be three hundred thousand years!" Yang Ning said. "And the blood inside might be dragon blood!"

It's a simple reason. In their natural state, the creatures on the Extreme Eternal Star only have two blood colors: red and blue.

And creatures with blue blood can only be found in the deep sea.

If you want the blood to appear in other colors, you have to cultivate and use spiritual energy to change the color of the blood.

But now that the blood has turned into fossils and the spiritual energy has long dissipated, yet it still appears purple, it can only mean that the blood was originally purple.

And that can only be the Dragon Race because the Dragon Race has engraved Divine Ability in their inheritance, and the blood of their descendants is naturally different in color.

For example, the blood of the Purple-Gold Coiling Dragon is purple-gold, the blood of the Abyssal Dragon is gray, the blood of the White Dragon is silver, and the blood of the Emperor Dragon is golden.

It's normal for dragons with purple blood to exist. Maybe they are relatives of the Purple-Gold Coiling Dragon or something.

"If that's the case, what if I activate the Purple-Gold Coiling Dragon Body? Will this purple heart stone have any special reaction?"

Thinking about it, Yang Ning opened his eyes, tightened his grip on the Purple Heart Stone, and began reciting the Daoist scripture of the "Purple-Gold Coiling Dragon Body".

Suddenly, the blood in his body began to circulate along a mysterious trajectory, gradually changing from white to purple, and a strange aura began to emanate from his body.

This was an externalized blood field, much stronger than an ordinary blood force field, capable of even stopping armor-piercing bullets!

"Inhale, exhale!"

"Inhale, exhale!"

He felt it!

Just as he activated the "Purple-Gold Coiling Dragon Body", Yang Ning felt that the Purple Heart Stone in his hand seemed to come alive, breathing rhythmically!

"This!" Yang Ning cursed inwardly. He had deeply ingrained the concept of the Purple Heart Stone as a spiritual material, and combined with the fact that the enemies he encountered along the way were too weak, and his habit of hiding his abilities, he never thought of trying to activate the "Purple-Gold Coiling Dragon Body"!

Otherwise, he would have discovered the special nature of this stone long ago!

Yang Ning silently observed the breathing of the Purple Heart Stone until half an hour later when the blood force field weakened and the "Purple-Gold Coiling Dragon Body" could no longer be sustained, he dispersed it and stopped.

Using the "White Dragon's Absorption Method" to restore his physical strength, Yang Ning adjusted the breathing rhythm of the "Black Tortoise Aura Concealing Technique" and began to operate according to the breathing rhythm of the Purple Heart Stone.

Breathing techniques were originally derived from the imitation of the natural world by humans, and the breathing rhythm of the Purple Heart Stone could also be seen as a kind of breathing technique, which could naturally be imitated.

After practicing the "Black Tortoise Aura Concealing Technique" for such a long time, it had already become almost instinctual for Yang Ning. But using the Spirit Realm to control his body's breathing and change the breathing rhythm was easy for him. In no time, he switched from the rhythm of the "Seven Days Breathing Method" to the "Purple Heart Stone Breathing Technique"!

This one breath was insignificant, but Yang Ning instantly felt that his whole person had become much clearer.

A strange aura was being drawn into his body through the breathing technique, lingering briefly inside before being expelled by the breathing technique.

However, in this brief moment of lingering, his body had undergone an indescribable change.

"The Amber Breathing Technique can stimulate the Qi of Chaos Primordial, ordinary breathing techniques can also induce spiritual energy, but what kind of spiritual energy does the Purple Heart Stone Breathing Technique induce? What kind of change has occurred in me?" Yang Ning desperately felt the changes in himself and tested them in the Spirit Realm for a long time.

In the end, he found nothing!

"This is not scientific!" Yang Ning was somewhat speechless. He clearly felt that he had changed, but he couldn't observe anything in the data.

"No, it's not that there's nothing!" Yang Ning looked at the Purple Heart Stone in his hand again and found that there seemed to be a mysterious connection between him and the stone.

Previously, he had to activate the "Purple-Gold Coiling Dragon Body" to perceive the special nature of the Purple Heart Stone, but now he no longer needed to. He could even sense the presence of the Purple Heart Stone in front of him without opening his eyes.

"In that case!" With a thought, Yang Ning's spirit attached itself to electromagnetic waves and instantly surged in all directions!

"Indeed!" The manifestation of the spirit was an extension of the five senses. Since he could sense the Purple Heart Stone, it naturally could be scanned by the manifestation of the spirit!

This is equivalent to Yang Ning having a 60-kilometer diameter (with progress in recent days) and a straight-line distance of 500 kilometers Purple Heart Stone radar!

"There are none in the city, but there are 9 outside the city gate, 50 kilometers away, and they are getting closer?" Yang Ning understood that someone carrying a Purple Heart Stone was rapidly approaching.

He actually managed to obtain 9 Purple Heart Stones and move so quickly.

Clearly, this is a formidable enemy!

Yang Ning suddenly stood up and flew in that direction.

On the other side, a young boy, or rather a child, lightly stepped on the gravel, as if walking on waves, lightly floating on the desert.

He wore a blue silk robe and was only 1.4 meters tall, looking like he was around 12 or 13 years old.

Although he was walking in the desert, there was not a speck of dust on him.

Strolling leisurely, graceful like a dragon, drifting like a cloud, that's probably what it looks like!

"There should be some disciples participating in the trial in the Sand Armor City. As long as I take the Purple Heart Stones from their hands, I should have 20 stones in my possession!"

"I will give these stones to Fairy Xue, and she will definitely look at me with admiration!"

"Just a trial, whether it's the Yin Yang Alliance, the Halloween Alliance, or the Monster Alliance, or the Primary Origin Pill Cauldron Sect, no one is my opponent!"

As for Extreme Eternal? Aren't the disciples of Extreme Eternal supposed to graduate from Immortal Ascension Academy in half a year? There shouldn't be any disciples of Extreme Eternal participating in the trial at this time.

But it doesn't matter, they are destined to be my defeated subordinates!

"Hmm?" The child suddenly looked up and saw a young boy in a white robe, wearing glasses, flying towards him in the sky.

"Which disciple is this? He has strength, but not much brains. How dare he waste energy in this environment?" The boy snorted coldly and stood still.

But he saw the boy in the sky wave his hand, and his entire arm turned black. Then the whole person turned into a meteor and smashed heavily towards him.

"Great Black Wind Blade!" The boy remained calm, raised his hand and traced a strange trajectory in the air. With the rhythm of his blood and energy field, a black airflow emerged from his hand and flew towards the sky. It grew longer in the wind and turned into a huge wind blade three meters long and two meters wide in the blink of an eye.

"What the hell?" Yang Ning quickly took a few steps in the air, avoiding the black wind blade that was slashing towards him, but his offensive momentum was also blocked, and he could only helplessly fall to the ground!

"You're cheating, right? Can someone in the Physical Body Realm use such a move? Or"

Do you also have superpowers?

"Hmph, people from small sects are really strange!" The child raised his right hand, hooked three fingers in the air, and three black wind blades flew towards Yang Ning, drawing three curved trajectories in the air.

"No, this isn't cheating, this is the Unparalleled Divine Ability under the Great Heavenly Sign Technique, 'The Unpredictable Wind Decision,' right? Can this Unparalleled Divine Ability also be cultivated in the Physical Body Realm?" Yang Ning was somewhat surprised. The eight Unparalleled Divine Abilities of the Great Qi Luck Technique can only be cultivated in the Qi Refining Realm, while the Great Dragon's Image Technique has four Unparalleled Divine Abilities that can be cultivated in the Physical Body Realm.

I didn't expect that there would be a Divine Ability for cultivation in the Physical Body Realm in the "Great Heavenly Sign Technique"!

"Hmph, I didn't expect you to have heard of the 'Unpredictable Gale Decision'!" The child sneered coldly. "But you got it wrong. I am cultivating the Earth Level Divine Ability 'Black Wind Blade'!"

"You're proud of cultivating an Earth Level Divine Ability instead of an Unparalleled Divine Ability?" Yang Ning chuckled. "Isn't Earth Level lower than Unparalleled?"

"What do you know!" The child sneered. "The Unparalleled Divine Ability is not something that can be easily used in the Physical Body Realm. On the other hand, our elders split a part of the Unparalleled Divine Ability and turned it into the 'Earth Level Divine Ability'. Not only can it be used in the Physical Body Realm, but it can also fully unleash its power!"

"So that's how it is!" Yang Ning nodded. He had to admit that the young boy's words made sense, and the thinking of the elders of the First Heaven Sect was indeed scientific.

"But by using this move, aren't you exposing your identity?" Yang Ning pulled out the Soul-Chasing Spear and deflected three wind blades. If he didn't have a Peerless Grade Mortal Weapon in his hand, it would have been difficult to deal with those three wind blades.

"By taking out this weapon, aren't you also exposing yourself? So you're a member of the All Saints Alliance!" The child's face suddenly brightened, as if he had seen a friend.

"Aren't the First Heaven Sect and the All Saints Alliance enemies?" Just as this thought crossed Yang Ning's mind, he heard the child continue, "The members of the All Saints Alliance are not weak. You should have collected a lot of Purple Heart Stones. Give them to me, and then submit to me. Help me find Purple Heart Stones, and I can spare your life!"

Yang Ning shook his head. "Sorry, I won't give them to you!"

"Fine, if you won't give them, then I'll have to take them myself!" The child reached out his hand again, tracing a trajectory.

"This 'Black Wind Blade' is quite cool!" Being able to summon wind blades with just a flick of his finger, it was one-tenth as cool as having the power to control wind.

However, Yang Ning had no intention of using it. It was the child's business if he exposed his identity. Besides, Yun Lang had told him not to reveal his own identity, and there must be a reason for it.

She has no grudges against me, so there's no reason for her to harm me.

Moreover, the mere 'Black Wind Blade' couldn't force Yang Ning to reveal his trump card.

"Watch my 'Soul-Chasing Spear'!" A cold light appeared first, followed by the spear shooting out like a dragon. Before the child could finish tracing the trajectory, the cold light on the spear tip had already reached his face!

He was startled and quickly rolled and crawled to dodge the attack. However, Yang Ning continued to attack with his spear, leaving him no time to counterattack despite his dodging skills.

And this spear wasn't just about the spear tip. The spear's attacks were like the flickering of a snake's tongue, constantly changing in length and distance. The child couldn't determine whether this move could actually hit him, so he could only desperately dodge.

"With this level of 'Soul-Chasing Spear', are you the Saint Child of the Soul-Chasing lineage?" The child shouted as he ran. "Have you also practiced the Soul-Chasing Steps?"

The 'Black Wind Blade' not only had offensive techniques but also footwork and body techniques.

The child had been using them all along, but he couldn't create any distance. Was that reasonable?

Yang Ning chuckled. He had just obtained the secret manual for the 'Soul-Chasing Spear' and had only been practicing it for less than two days.

As for his cultivation level, he had already surpassed the author who created this spear technique, hadn't he?

And his basic qualities are high, whether it's strength, speed, or endurance, they far surpass ordinary disciples of the Physical Body Realm Ninth Layer, plus the battle assistance system of the Spirit Realm.

At this moment, the level he has shown is indeed enough to be called the Saint Child of the Soul-Chasing Lineage, and even if the true Saint Child were to come, he might not necessarily be stronger than him!

Yang Ning's spear in his hand turned, and with a move called Arc Moon Soul-Chasing, a qi blade shot out.

The child felt that Yang Ning could shoot out qi blades, but Yang Ning had never used this move before, so he was not very cautious. Caught off guard, he was directly cut on the leg.

With an injured leg, the child's speed immediately decreased, and in the next two seconds, he already had two more wounds on his body!

"Wait, wait, you can't kill me!" the child shouted loudly.

"Why can't I kill you?" Yang Ning said coldly.

"I am a disciple of the First Heaven Sect!"

"That's even more reason for me to kill you!" Extreme Eternal and Tianyi have a grudge, but their strengths are similar, so they both have reservations and can barely maintain peace.

But the strength of the Extreme Northern Holy Alliance is not as good as that of the First Heaven Sect, so the First Heaven Sect's oppression of the Holy Alliance is like a slap in the face.

When the people of the Holy Alliance see the people of the First Heaven Sect killing, they will only be rewarded when they go back, and they will never be punished.

"I am a guardian of the Snow Fairy!" the child hurriedly shouted again. "There were nine of us who came in together. If you dare to kill me, you will be an enemy of the Snow Fairy. The other eight will definitely avenge me!"

"Who is the Snow Fairy? I haven't heard of her! Is she powerful?" Yang Ning shook his head. "I just started, and I really don't know who has light and who is the Snow Fairy!"

"The Snow Fairy is the Snow Jade Crystal Body, a natural snow master, a future powerhouse in the Spirit Law Realm!" Shi Youguang spoke very quickly. "She is also the future Saintess of our First Heaven Sect. Don't even mention you, a Saint Child of the Soul-Chasing Lineage. Even if you are the child of the leader of the Holy Alliance, you are not worthy to shine her shoes!"

"The Snow Jade Crystal Body!" Yang Ning was stunned.

In this world, there are also Innate Dao Bodies and Golden Jade Immortal Physiques, but they are very rare. It may take thousands of years to encounter one.

I didn't expect that the First Heaven Sect actually accepted one?

The Snow Jade Crystal Body has a natural affinity for ice and snow-based techniques, and the power of releasing ice and snow-based spells will also be multiplied. Coupled with the ice and snow part of the "Great Heavenly Sign Technique," it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a natural snow master.

But so what? Did I go around bragging about practicing the "Great Dragon's Image Technique"?

But Yang Ning also had a question.

"Why would someone as powerful as the Snow Fairy participate in such a trial?" Yang Ning asked, "She shouldn't lack Dao Weapons, right?"

The child opened his mouth but didn't want to say.

So Yang Ning lowered the tip of his spear and pointed it at him.

"I know you may not fear death, but if I cut it off, will you, being so young, not understand?" Yang Ning asked.

"No no no, let me speak!" How could a child not understand? He may look young, but he is actually fifteen years old.

Moreover, he had already lost his virginity two years ago, so of course he knew about the matters between men and women.

If this thing is gone, what's the point of cultivating immortality?

"Well, hurry up!" Yang Ning said.

"There's a long story behind it!"

"Then make it short!"

Helpless, the child could only briefly summarize the content, saying, "This matter is related to a legend in the Jiangyun Kingdom. It is said that the Jiangyun Kingdom obtained a Supreme Dao Technique back then, which allowed them to quickly unify the Jiangyun Continent and rise at such a fast speed!"

"But when Jiangyun was destroyed, the entire royal family was slaughtered, and they did not find that Supreme Dao Technique!"

Some experts speculate that this Supreme Dao Technique should have been hidden away, and the secret lies within this Purple Heartstone. However, countless people have studied it for many years, but none have been able to unlock its secrets. Later, Extreme Eternal and First Heaven Sect signed the "Tianheng Agreement."

"It's the 'Taiyi Agreement'!"

"Okay, it's the same thing! You call it the 'Taiyi Agreement' here, and we call it the 'Tianheng Agreement' there!" the child said. "They distributed all the Purple Heartstones to the sects, and then they organized an entry trial, saying that disciples who have not entered the sect might be able to solve the secret of the Purple Heartstone!"

"Did Xue Xian solve it?" Yang Ning asked.

"No, she didn't!" The child shook his head. "But Xue Xian is naturally the Snow Master, with astonishing luck. Maybe the secret of the Purple Heartstone is waiting for her to solve it!"

"You're thinking too highly of yourselves!" Yang Ning chuckled. "Unless you have the 'Purple-Gold Coiling Dragon Body', it's impossible to unlock the secret of the Purple Heartstone."

Wait a minute, is there only one Divine Ability related to the Purple-Gold Coiling Dragon in this world? Otherwise, if there are others, wouldn't they be able to unlock it?

The child was very unhappy with Yang Ning insulting his goddess, but with the gun pointed at his little brother, he didn't dare to act recklessly. He could only twitch his face and force a smile.

"Fine, hand over all the Purple Heartstones you have!" Yang Ning said coldly.

"This..." The child was unwilling. If I give the stones to you, how will my goddess look at me?

But on one hand, there was the goddess, and on the other hand, there was his little brother. If he lost his little brother, what meaning would the goddess have?

Reluctantly, he took out a storage bag, and suddenly his hand speed increased.

"Buzz!" The gun radiated, and there were moments of light flashing.

"You're still trying to plot against me. I can read minds, you know. Do you think I can't see your excited brainwaves?"
