Chapter 353: Leaving the Cave

Just as Zhang Nuo was feeling happy, Chunyangzi slowly came up behind him and said with a slight smile on his face:

"I can tell by your look that those two techniques have achieved some small success!"

"Yes! The Immovable Underworld King is truly too difficult to cultivate. With my current cultivation, I can only reach the second level!"

Zhang Nuo turned around, nodded, and said.

"The second level? That's not bad! Also, take this!"

After lowering his head to ponder for a moment, Chunyangzi did not say anything more, reached out, and handed Zhang Nuo something! This object was about half a foot long and looked like a folding fan!

"Is this the gift you are giving me?"

Zhang Nuo was slightly surprised. His Divine Sense swept over the folding fan, and there was not a trace of Spirit Power fluctuation; it looked extremely ordinary. Chunyangzi did not answer him, but simply pushed the folding fan in front of him.

Suspiciously, he grabbed the folding fan in his hand. With a light force from two fingers, a 'pop' sound was heard, and the fan was opened. As it opened, a biting, fierce wind rushed out! Caught off guard, Zhang Nuo was almost struck in the face by that gust of wind!

His heart gave a slight jolt. Just now, when Zhang Nuo opened this fan, he had not used any Spirit Power at all, yet this folding fan had released such a powerful gust of wind!

He raised his eyes to look at the fan surface and saw a very peaceful landscape painting on it. There were mountains and water in the painting, and a farmhouse at the foot of the mountain. It looked like they were starting a fire to cook, with wisps of cooking smoke rising slowly.

"This is?"

Zhang Nuo looked at the folding fan repeatedly for a long time before asking Chunyangzi.

"This folding fan was refined by me using the four claws of a 'Lufeng' during your seclusion. It contains wind-attribute attack power, but if you want to use it well, you will still need to practice with it!"

Twisting his beard with one hand, Chunyangzi said quite proudly. This folding fan's power was greatly increased mainly because of the preciousness of its materials, but at the same time, it was precisely because there was an experienced Immortal World cultivator like Chunyangzi that the four sharp claws of the Lufeng could be put to good use!

Zhang Nuo looked at the folding fan with joy. No wonder a biting wind came out as soon as the fan was opened; it turned out to be all because of the Lufeng.

"Does it have a name?"

With a 'swish', he closed the fan and asked excitedly.

"The painting on the fan was also drawn by me. I think we should call it 'Autumn Water Household'!"

After just a moment of contemplation, Chunyangzi gave this folding fan a name!

"Autumn Water Household! A good name!"

Zhang Nuo couldn't stop praising it. Although the name of the fan sounded gentle and refined, the scene it created when activated was quite the opposite!

"You first refine the Autumn Water Household into your body. I will use this time to tidy up the things in the Cave Abode, and then we shall leave this place!"

Seeing that Chunyangzi spoke very decisively, Zhang Nuo was slightly stunned!

"Where are we going?"

"Of course, to venture out onto the Xianhuan Continent and establish our own influence. Only in this way can I find the Pure Yang Body!"

A flash of brilliance appeared in his eyes as Chunyangzi said expectantly. He had waited for this day for a long time. To cultivate Zhang Nuo, he had spent almost all his heart's blood. Now that Zhang Nuo's cultivation had achieved success, although he was only a Nascent Soul Early-stage cultivator, with the various divine abilities he could display, even a Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator might not be his match! Such a great opportunity was exactly the time for Zhang Nuo to repay him!

"Many thanks to Senior for your help over the past few years. Zhang Nuo will certainly do his utmost to help Senior find the Pure Yang Body! And restore your former glory as soon as possible!"

"Haha! Good! Good! This old man truly did not misjudge the person!"

Moved to the point of almost shedding tears by Zhang Nuo's bold words, Chunyangzi turned around and went to tidy up things in the Cave Abode! Zhang Nuo, on the other hand, sat back down on the Putan and began to refine the 'Autumn Water Household' in his hand!

There were many things in the Zifu Tianqi Immortal Cave, and Chunyangzi could not take them all away at once, so he could only pick out the most important ones to bring along!

Three days later, Zhang Nuo, who had just refined the Autumn Water Household into his body, suddenly heard the sound of an argument coming from the depths of the Cave Abode. He frowned slightly, and after listening attentively, it seemed that Chunyangzi was bickering with a child about something.

His thoughts turned rapidly, and Zhang Nuo suddenly thought of that little fellow, the 'Mysterious Heaven Spirit Insect'. He had been thinking about breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage all these years, and he hadn't expected that he had almost forgotten about it!

With a flash of his cross-legged figure, Zhang Nuo went straight to the depths of the Cave Abode. He saw that in the Lingchong shi, Chunyangzi was struggling with a child over something that looked like a goose egg!

The Spirit Insect looked much better than before, looking more like a human child!

"What are you two fighting over?"

Stepping into the Stone Chamber, Zhang Nuo's gaze also fell on the object in their hands! He saw that this goose-egg-like existence was no different from what it was decades ago; it was still just as ordinary!

"This thing is mine!"

The Mysterious Heaven Spirit Insect said in a milky voice. The childish tone made Zhang Nuo chuckle!

"Senior, since he wants it, just give it to him!"

Unwilling to bicker with a child, Zhang Nuo said indifferently.

"Let me tell you, Zhang kid, you don't know! In this old man's view, this thing looks like the egg of some Spirit Beast! Since it can exist here, it is naturally not an ordinary object! If it is left by this fellow's side, what if it gets hungry one day and eats it in one bite!"

Turning his head to explain to Zhang Nuo, Chunyangzi's hand, however, never let go.

"I wouldn't eat it! You old thing!"

It seemed that the Mysterious Heaven Spirit Insect had been pushed to the limit, as it actually cursed. Chunyangzi was stunned by this, and then his face turned furious:

"You little thing! How dare you scold me!"

"Forget it, Senior! The Spirit Insect has always liked eating things like metal. I don't think he will pay any attention to this egg!"

Fearing that some gunpowder smell would arise between the two, Zhang Nuo mediated and said.

"Master understands me!"

The Spirit Insect looked at Zhang Nuo gratefully, and with its small mouth slightly parted, it spoke again in a voice full of milky tones. Seeing this, Chunyangzi had no other choice, so he had to let go of his hand.

"I'm warning you! You are not allowed to eat it!"

Still somewhat worried, Chunyangzi warned the Spirit Insect again! Making a face at Chunyangzi, the Spirit Insect hugged the egg in its arms, looking extremely fond of it!

"You have now transformed into a human form. It is very awkward to keep calling you Spirit Insect. How about I give you a name!"

"Okay! Okay!"

Upon hearing that he was to be given a name, the Mysterious Heaven Spirit Insect clapped his hands in joy. However, as he clapped his hands, the egg he was holding in his arms fell to the ground! Bending down, he hurriedly picked up the egg, and the Spirit Insect scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed!

Zhang Nuo and Chunyangzi looked at each other, both speechless! Although this Spirit Insect was a divine beast of the Mysterious Heaven Grade, its intelligence at this moment was like that of a five or six-year-old child!

Shaking his head helplessly, Zhang Nuo slowly said:

"Since you were transformed from a Mysterious Heaven-level Gold-Devouring Insect, how about I call you Xuanjin?"

"Xuanjin! Xuanjin! This name is okay!"

The little fellow nodded a few times, and then went back to playing with the egg in his hand! Anyway, since the Spirit Insect had transformed into a human form, no one would ever guess that this little thing was the famous Mysterious Heaven Gold-Devouring Insect!

"Alright, we should also leave this place now!"

Zhang Nuo flipped his hand, took out the Spirit Beast Bag directly, and gave it a slight shake toward Xuan Jin; the little fellow only glanced at it before turning into a streak of Golden Light with extreme reluctance and diving into the bag!

After finishing all this, Zhang Nuo and Chunyangzi finally returned to the main hall, and after the two discussed things once more and saw there were no oversights, they stood up to leave the hall and walked toward the outside of the Cave Abode!

Although there was a not-so-weak Restriction outside this Cave Abode, after Chunyangzi's painstaking search, he still found the method to break it within the cave! When the two stood outside the cave, they saw the runes within the light screen still flowing ceaselessly; the passage of several decades had not changed it at all!

Chunyangzi flipped his hand, took out a magic disk, and taught Zhang Nuo the method to use it, after which he turned into a streak of red light and dove into Zhang Nuo's body.

By the side of the Broken Wall Small Lake, several cultivators of the Sea Flood Dragon Clan were patrolling the lakeshore; ever since Baijiaowang discovered a few years ago that someone had successfully condensed a Nascent Soul on the Xian Mountain, he had come to the small lake countless times, but every arrival left him greatly disappointed, as even if he used spatial divine abilities, he could not pass through the Restriction at the bottom of the lake!

Helpless, he had no choice but to send several clansmen to keep watch at this location, and as soon as a cultivator appeared in the lake, they were to report to him immediately! Furthermore, he repeatedly warned his subordinates that they must absolutely not engage in combat with whoever came out!

On this day, two demon cultivators were sitting idly on a large rock not far from the lakeshore when suddenly, ripples appeared on the surface of the lake, and subsequently, it seemed as if something had happened at the bottom of the lake, emitting bursts of rumbling sounds!

The two demon cultivators quickly exchanged a glance, and one of them flipped his hand, took out a Sound Transmission Talisman, spoke a few sentences into the talisman, and tossed it toward the sky! The Talisman turned into a streak of firelight and flew directly toward a certain location on the Tianqi Immortal Mountain!

The very moment the Sound Transmission Talisman disappeared, a series of splashes erupted in the lake, and immediately following, a startling rainbow flashed out from the water; the two demon cultivators had not even clearly seen the rainbow light before the startling rainbow had already landed on the shore, the brilliance faded, and a youth of about twenty years old was revealed from within!

This person wore a cyan long robe, his face carried a slight expression of pleasant surprise, and his naive and endearing appearance gave people a feeling of being honest and sincere! This person was none other than Zhang Nuo, who had just come out from the Purple Mansion Immortal Cave!

Taking a deep breath of the outside air, he only felt refreshed and invigorated!

"Greetings, Senior!"

As soon as the two demon cultivators saw a cultivator emerge, they both swept over with their Divine Sense, but to their shock, this kid who looked extremely young was actually an existence at the Nascent Soul Stage! The powerful Spirit Power fluctuations on his body made one shudder with fear! Immediately, the two demon cultivators trotted over to pay their respects to Zhang Nuo!

Being called a senior the moment he was seen! Zhang Nuo was truly a bit unaccustomed to it, and it was only after a moment that he realized the two demon cultivators were calling him!

Just as Zhang Nuo was about to open his mouth to speak, suddenly, a hundred zhang in front of his body, the space fluctuated, and a human figure flashed into view! That figure looked toward Zhang Nuo and could not help but reveal an expression of surprise!
