Chapter 488: Returning to Tianyuan

After returning to his Cave Abode, Zhang Nuo couldn't wait to take out the small white Jade Token bottle! Holding it in his palm, his face was full of excitement! Gently opening the bottle mouth, a drop of bright red blood quickly drilled out from inside!

Zhang Nuo was quick-handed and sharp-eyed; with his five fingers slightly curled, he pointed into the void toward the fleeing blood, and immediately, the space around the blood seemed to solidify! The True Spirit Bloodline, which had been somewhat manic, instantly quieted down.

He scrutinized this drop of blood for a long time! Feeling the waves of scorching heat radiating from it, Zhang Nuo was terrified to the extreme! With just this tiny bit of True Spirit Bloodline, the power was already so immense; one could imagine what the effect would be if all the True Spirit Bloodline on Huo Lifeng were unleashed!

No wonder Duanmu Yebai couldn't escape from her back then; if it were himself before entering the Spirit Transformation Initial Stage, he likely wouldn't have been able to fend it off either!

With a faint smile on his face, Zhang Nuo gently flipped one hand, and a ball of Silver Flame appeared; the blazing firelight gave people a chilling feeling when they looked at it!

The "Red Glow Fire" that had been refined within Zhang Nuo's body for so long was no longer what it used to be! As soon as the silver flame appeared, it was immediately attracted by the drop of fresh blood in mid-air! If not for Zhang Nuo desperately controlling it, given the bloodthirsty nature of the "Red Glow Fire," it would have already rushed over!

He carefully brought the silver flame close to the True Spirit Bloodline! The two were like two magnets, attracting each other! Even the space between them became somewhat distorted!

He had never seen the Red Glow Fire so persistent! Zhang Nuo frowned slightly; he did not know what changes the silver flame would undergo after devouring the True Spirit Phoenix Bloodline!

However, in order to obtain a powerful fire seed, he had no choice but to take a gamble! As he relaxed the force between his hands, the silver flame surged violently, circled in mid-air, and wrapped around the True Spirit Bloodline below!

In the blink of an eye, the sesame-sized drop of blood was swallowed by the Red Glow Fire! Looking at the somewhat excited appearance of the silver flame, Zhang Nuo couldn't help but feel a bit surprised! How could devouring the True Spirit Bloodline be like devouring ordinary blood?

Before Zhang Nuo's thoughts could even turn, something he never expected happened! The ball of silver flame in his palm seemed to go crazy; the constantly flickering flames turned from white to red, and finally, they were actually extinguishing rapidly!

Zhang Nuo was greatly shocked; could it be that the Red Glow Fire couldn't withstand the power of the True Spirit Bloodline and was being snuffed out? He injected the Spirit Power in his body into the silver flame, but it was fundamentally unable to stop the process of it extinguishing!

Anxious in his heart, countless methods flashed through Zhang Nuo's mind in an instant, but none could stop all of this from happening! When the silver flame shrank to the size of a thumb, it stopped! The weak flame looked as if it would extinguish with a gentle blow!

Carefully bringing the flame before his eyes, Zhang Nuo didn't even dare to breathe loudly! He probed it with his Divine Sense and felt that the flame still had a bit of vitality!

It seemed the power of this True Spirit Bloodline was truly not small; fortunately, Zhang Nuo wasn't greedy at the time and only asked for this little bit, otherwise, it might have directly snuffed out the Red Glow Fire!

The current silver flame was similar to a Spirit Beast, belonging to a state of dormancy! As long as it could survive this stage, it should have significant progress when it reawakened! He carefully retracted the flame into his body! Zhang Nuo let out a long breath! Watching the silver flame wrapped in layers of Spirit Power inside his body, he felt a bit more at ease! After entering the Spirit Transformation Initial Stage, another Divine Sea had opened in Zhang Nuo's body; now he had a total of eight Divine Seas, a point in which he far exceeded those of the same rank!

There were a total of nine Divine Seas in a cultivator's body, and Zhang Nuo was now only one short! When all nine Divine Seas were fully opened, it would be an unprecedented new world! Just thinking about such a thing made one's blood boil! However, this matter could not be rushed; Zhang Nuo would only open the Ninth Divine Sea when he reached the Spirit Transformation Late Stage!

As for other cultivators, they were not as lucky as Zhang Nuo; they would have to wait until the Integration Late Stage to fully open all nine Divine Seas!

If it weren't for the fact that Zhang Nuo had opened two Divine Seas just as he reached the Foundation Establishment, and then forcibly opened the Third Divine Sea during the late Foundation Establishment Stage using the pill formula given by Chunyangzi, he would likely be the same as a normal person!

After stabilizing for a few days in the Stone Chamber, Zhang Nuo finally walked out! Looking at everything familiar in the Cave Abode, he felt a sense of reluctance!

After finishing this last thing, he would return to the Tianyuan Continent! He didn't know if there was any possibility of returning after this trip! What worried him most were Su Haizhen and Ye Yuemiao! These two women had good talent, but Zhang Nuo had personally experienced the hurdle of the Spirit Transformation Stage, which was not easy to pass, so whether they could ascend remained a big unknown!

Leaving the Cave Abode, Zhang Nuo arrived at the Purple Mansion Immortal Cave; seeing his two beloved wives practicing there, he took a distant look, hardened his heart, turned around, left the Immortal Cave, and walked toward the Great Teleportation Array!

Just a few months after Zhang Nuo left, Su Haizhen and Ye Yuemiao learned that Zhang Nuo had returned to the Tianyuan Continent to seek revenge on Jin Buhuan! As for whether he could return, it was hard to say!

When the two women finished listening to Yang Huzi's account, tears fell like broken pearls, pitter-patter! They knew Zhang Nuo's mind; perhaps when facing parting, he would be soft-hearted and unable to let go of everything in the Xian Mountain! Therefore, Zhang Nuo chose to leave silently!

Since it was possible that they might never see each other again, they had to cultivate diligently and strive to reunite with Zhang Nuo in the Immortal World!

…………

On the boundless Mist Sea, a large ship was sailing rapidly; Zhang Nuo stood at the bow, looking at the sea ahead, his heart full of memories!

He still remembered when Nanxuan Laozu first brought him to this sea, and everything they experienced was still fresh in his memory! If it weren't for Nanxuan later framing him for his own sake, the current situation would not have arisen!

"Pavilion Master! In two more years, we will be able to reach the Tianyuan Continent!"

A disciple of the Giant Spirit Pavilion walked out from the cabin! He stood behind Zhang Nuo and said.

"En! You have all worked hard these past few years!"

Without turning his head, it was as if Zhang Nuo was still immersed in his memories.

Over the past few years, Zhang Nuo had been moving bit by bit toward the Tianyuan Continent through the teleportation arrays established by the Giant Spirit Pavilion on the Mist Sea, and now he was finally almost there!

Just at this moment, a series of cries rang out in the sky, and at the same time, a large flock of flying demonic beasts rushed over from the horizon like a black cloud!

"It's Black Blood Gulls!"

The disciple standing behind Zhang Nuo shouted loudly; this kind of demonic beast, the Black Blood Gull, was always gregarious! Once they locked onto a target, they would follow it until the target was killed!

Hearing the slightly fearful voice of the disciple, Zhang Nuo also looked up toward the horizon, seeing flocks of Black Blood Gulls flying toward the ship he was riding!

With a bitter smile on his face, Zhang Nuo felt it was somewhat dramatic! When he and Nanxuan Laozu first left the Tianyuan Continent, the flock of demonic beasts they encountered was also Black Blood Gulls; now that he was returning to Tianyuan, he had actually encountered them again!

"No need to worry!"

After saying this to the panicked disciple, Zhang Nuo's escape light surged, turning into a streak of rainbow light, and he rushed toward the direction from which the Black Blood Gulls were coming!

The current Zhang Nuo was no longer the little Golden Core cultivator from back then! His escape speed was fast to the extreme! After a few flashes, his figure appeared in the center of the Black Blood Gulls!

With a sudden flip of one hand, a ball of white light about a foot in size appeared in his palm! It was the fully repaired Nine Dragon Sword Case!

Before these Black Blood Gulls could even launch an attack, Zhang Nuo moved his Divine Sense, and eighty-one Flying Swords like water surged out; after a flash of spirit light in the sky, countless Black Blood Gulls fell toward the sea!

Wherever the Flying Swords passed, streaks of sharp sword Qi pierced the air; back then, a group of nearly a hundred people led by Zhang Nuo couldn't kill all the Black Blood Gulls, but now, under his power alone, these Black Blood Gulls had completely turned into dead birds!

When the last Black Blood Gull was killed by Zhang Nuo, the sea below had already turned black! Those were all the corpses of the Black Blood Gulls!

When he returned to the ship, all the disciples stared blankly at Zhang Nuo! Was this the divine ability of a Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator? In the instant he struck, he had slaughtered these flying demonic beasts without leaving a single one behind!

"What a great divine ability, Pavilion Master!"

Not knowing which disciple it was, after he shouted loudly, the others followed and shouted wildly! This was the first time they had seen Zhang Nuo strike after entering the Spirit Transformation Stage!

Watching these disciples shouting in front of him, Zhang Nuo just smiled and let it be!

Thinking back to those years, wasn't he also envious after seeing the divine abilities of Nanxuan Laozu? But now, he had reached a goal that Nanxuan had never reached in his entire life!

Thinking of Nanxuan, Zhang Nuo naturally thought of Zhuge Qing! His first woman! How was she doing now? Although this woman had some purpose in being with him, the trace of concern in Zhang Nuo's heart could never be put down! Returning to Tianyuan this time, it would be good to go see her! After all, the only one who wronged him was Nanxuan, and it had nothing to do with others! And what about Han Liang and Gu Yu! What realm had they advanced to?

The trio combination once known as the "Kill-Break-Wolf" no longer had that feeling. Recalling the time they dealt with the Five Great Demon Mountains together, Zhang Nuo still felt some nostalgia!

It was precisely because of those battles that he was able to grow rapidly! Without experiencing many hardships, there would not be the Zhang Nuo of today!

His thoughts were still turning, the large ship was sailing fast on the sea, and the distance to his destination, the Tianyuan Continent, was getting closer and closer! There were too many people Zhang Nuo couldn't let go of! Returning this time, he didn't know how many he would still be able to see?
