Cultivation Starting from Full Talent

Chapter 337: Chapter 335 Ambush Chapter 337: Chapter 335 Ambush Late at night.

Atop Qiongbi Peak, the lights were bright; none slept, and even Big Stupid Deer showcased his culinary talents, whipping up several aromatic dishes for all.

Ning Daoran summoned Little Bai, having her dance to lift everyone’s spirits.

Watching her, Han Bing felt this girl looked increasingly familiar and softly said, “Senior brother, I feel like I’ve seen Little Bai in an illustration. How did you subdue her?”

“Five Saints Mountain, did senior sister forget?”

“Ah?”

Han Bing was shocked, suddenly realizing that Little Bai was none other than the formidable White Sheep Demon Queen who had once dominated Qingzhou, causing half of the Human Clan’s Cultivation World there to not dare raise their heads!

“Truly…”

Han Bing muttered, “The destruction of the Five Saints Sect years ago really did involve senior brother.”

“Mm.”

Ning Daoran watched the bonfire in the courtyard, smiling, “Back when Old Lu and I consecutively reached Core Formation, we felt we should do something for our sect before leaving. Hence, we went to Five Saints Mountain and killed all the so-called Saints, and this White Sheep Demon Queen’s Divine Soul was powerful. Seeing its usefulness, I split her Divine Soul into two, creating what we see now.”

…

Han Bing fell silent.

A hundred years ago, the senior brother had successively killed Golden Core Middle Stage and Late Stage Demon Kings, yet even now she couldn’t confidently say she would win against a Golden Core Early Stage Demon King. The level of senior brother’s strength was simply unimaginable.

By the bonfire, Lin Yun and Zhou Tieshu were roasting meat. Lin Yun had completely detached from the path of cultivation and didn’t bother grappling with breakthrough issues anymore, while Zhou Tieshu, simple-minded, focused solely on Cultivation without thinking too much.

Chen Yuzhu squinted delightfully, serving tea and pouring water next to Ning Daoran; for her, such moments were precious and to be cherished.

Han Bing chatted with Ning Daoran about old times, her face full of smiles.

Meanwhile, behind the mountain.

The mountain air was filled with sinister yin energy; blurry figures emerged from graves into indistinct forms, including Lin Qing’er, Gongyang Yan, Lin Xingyuan, Ning Qing, and others.

Lin Qing’er looked toward Chaotic Sect from behind; she glanced at the lively scene on Qiongbi Peak and then surveyed the conditions across the sect’s other peaks. Some elders were teaching cultivation techniques overnight with groups of disciples earnestly seated in front of them. Some disciples sat on large stones, deeply immersed in comprehending the mysteries of the universe. Others at Big Stone Square practiced martial drills, each move precise and serious.

A generation-spanning Chaotic Sect, its legacy never ceased.

“Master.”

Gongyang Yan stroked his beard, “It’s wonderful. To rest eternally here is something I wouldn’t dare to dream of in a hundred years.”

Lin Qing’er smiled and nodded.

Lin Xingyuan stood with arms crossed, squinting, enjoying the cool autumn night breeze.

Ning Qing watched Purple Cloud Peak for a while before finally setting his gaze on Ning Daoran, Han Bing, and Chen Xiyao atop Qiongbi Peak, his lips lifting slightly in a smile—as it should be.

Where the autumn wind stirred, several figures appeared ethereal.

A patrolling elder passed by cloaked in tunneling light, yet seemed oblivious to those figures, perhaps because he couldn’t see them at all.

…

The following day, morning.

Ning Daoran bid farewell to Han Bing, Chen Yuzhu, and others, taking Big Stupid Deer and riding twin golden lights, quickly vanishing into the sky above Chaotic Sect.

Next, it was time to head to Kunpeng Immortal City.

Kunpeng Immortal City was Xia Country’s Eastern Territory’s foremost immortal city, deeply rooted and frequent destination for Great Cultivators; resources were also among the best in Xia Country.

Ning Daoran, nearing the threshold of Gold Core Late Stage, journeyed to Kunpeng Immortal City not only to temper his cultivation but also to start planning for his Nascent Soul.

Although supremely confident in his cultivation, feeling he had at least a 70% chance of forcefully forming his Nascent Soul without Elixir Pills; still, a 70% chance was unstable. Having a Nascent Condensing Pill was safer!

Half a month later.

Ning Daoran and Big Stupid Deer rode a Flying Boat through myriad clouds, now entering the interior of Yunzhou’s Eastern Territory.

“Splash!”

Ning Daoran pulled out a meticulously crafted map, measured the distance, pointed toward a spot in the southeast, and said, “Kunpeng Immortal City is right over there, less than five hundred miles from us. Old Lu, put in some effort, drive the boat!”

“Awoo~~~”

Big Stupid Deer wagged his tail and shouted, channeling Spiritual Power into the Flying Boat’s reactor—immediately, the boat shot forward, and both figures on board felt the intense force pushing them back.

“Hmm?”

Ning Daoran released his Divine Sense to probe the surroundings, suddenly pausing as a highly chaotic aura upfront caught his attention; a substantial number of Human Clan Cultivator’s energies were messily intertwined, even mixed with Array power fluctuations, suggesting trouble.

Shortly after, a figure in a green shirt, a young Foundation Establishment, flew towards them. Sensing two Golden Core energies from the Flying Boat, he immediately bowed respectfully from afar and asked, “Senior, ahead is the battlefield between Xia Country and Sangyu Country. Are you here to assist?”

“Wasn’t the border war over long ago?”

Ning Daoran stood at the ship’s prow, “Why is there still a Cultivation World war going on?”

“I’m not very sure,” said the young Foundation Establishment, frowning. “Just know these Sangyu Country cultivators seemingly appeared out of nowhere, launching sudden attacks on several sects near the city. My Luoyan Sect, Sky Net Sect, and several other sects have joined forces here to cut off these Sangyu Country cultivators. It’s said that Grand Cultivators from Kunpeng Immortal City are also rushing here.”

His face was hopeful, “Senior, did you come from Kunpeng Immortal City to help?”

“No.”

Ning Daoran shook his head; he did not want to get involved in this fight, saying, “We are just passing by.”

“Oh, if that’s the case…”

The young Foundation Establishment Cultivator said, “If senior does not wish to be embroiled in this slaughter, you can simply bypass this area.”

“Alright, thank you!”

“You’re welcome!”

Ning Daoran sailed away in his Flying Boat, while disappointment slightly surfaced on the face of the young Foundation Establishment Cultivator. He could tell that this person had a Golden Core Middle Stage cultivation, and the Spiritual Deer accompanying him was a Third-order Middle-stage Spirit Beast. If this man and deer were willing to assist… perhaps this minor war in the Cultivation World could have ended earlier.

Alas, the other party had no intention to fight, and there was nothing to be done about it; everyone has their own aspirations.

…

Aboard the Flying Boat, Ning Daoran appeared calm.

He had only just arrived and what he most wanted to do now was to enter Kunpeng Immortal City, rent a Cave Mansion, stabilize in Kunpeng Immortal City first, and grasp the surrounding circumstances before making any further decisions.

Rather than getting involved prematurely in a war of the Cultivation World, which could potentially disrupt all his subsequent plans.

Several hundred miles south of Kunpeng Immortal City, mountains towered and contained profound Spiritual Energy.

“Hmm?”

Ning Daoran’s Divine Sense swept over and discovered some Golden Core spiritual auras hidden deep in the mountains, apparently lying in wait like hunting.

This place was between Kunpeng Immortal City and the battlefield, and the intentions of these people were clear; they were most likely cultivators from Sangyu Country, ambushing cultivators from Kunpeng Immortal City rushing to assist in the battlefield, somewhat creating a tactic of encirclement and aid.

“Swoosh—”

A streak of sword light burst forth in the woods, followed by brilliant azure sword radiance forming in the air, like raindrops striking swiftly towards the sky, with an aggressive and peerless attack!

“Old Lu, be careful!”

Ning Daoran immediately retracted the Flying Boat, his Golden Core Divine Sense rapidly scanning the woods, identifying three Golden Core cultivators – two Middle-stages and one Late-stage. Their attire was strange, obviously not cultivators from Xia Country.

“Buzz~~~”

The Azure Dragon Spear glittered brightly, Ning Daoran cleaved with a spear from the air, instantly a Silver Dragon Spear Radiance spanning the heavens emerged, swallowing downward, shredding all the incoming sword radiance!

“Be careful!”

The Golden Core Late-stage Elder with a long sword on his back had a solemn look, “This man is extremely tricky, set up the array!”

The young man and woman quickly deployed spell, suddenly the deep woods underground buzzed melodiously, countless blood-red vines spread out, transforming into a sea of blood, within it, titanic spirits wielding ancient magic artifacts moved around, a magnificent Array Spiritual Pressure enveloping everything.

Blood Sea Sealing Demon Array, Third-tier Lower Grade Killing Array!

Ning Daoran was well-versed in this array having previously purchased a legacy from Qingfu Square in Immortal White Dragon City and had fully mastered it.

At this moment, since the opponents had deployed a Blood Sea Sealing Demon Array, he naturally could not show weakness.

“Alright, you set your array, I’ll set mine too!”

Tapping his Storage Bag, instantly rods of Array Flags, Array Plates flew up, dozens of spells were instantly cast into the Array Flags and Plates, remarkably opening an array right in the sky, specifically a Third-order Middle-grade Purple Lightning Frost Array!

“Boom~~~”

A mass of azure-purple Array Formation Realm descended fiercely crashed together with the opponent’s Blood Sea Sealing Demon Array, with the results naturally a foregone conclusion, the Middle-grade array decisively overpowering the Low-grade array.

“This is bad, he is an Array Master, a misjudgment, run quickly!”

The Golden Core Late-stage Sword Cultivator Elder turned pale with fright, swiftly raising his sword point, suddenly unleashing hundreds of Sword Qi attacks towards Ning Daoran in the wind, then turned and fled, becoming a tunneling light and escaping.

“Trying to escape?!”

Ning Daoran never spared such people; operating the Wind Riding Leisurely Technique to its peak and activating a Third-order Middle-grade Divine Speed Talisman, his figure flashed like lightning, instantly reaching above the elder’s head.

“Ah? How can he be so fast?”

The elder looked up, frightened and pale, and the next second Ning Daoran’s spear filled with Dragon Demon Power ferociously smashed down!

“Don’t even think about it!”

The elder quickly drew his sword, his entire body wrapped in swirling Sword Aura, fiercely slashing out!

“Clang~~~”

Amid the loud noise, Ning Daoran remained unmoved, yet the elder was shaken by the spear, forcefully plummeting downward, his wrists quickly splitting open and bleeding.

He was somewhat dazed; wasn’t this person an Array Master, a Cultivator? What kind of strange power was this, the physical strength of this spear was probably not far off from a Martial Immortal in the late stage of Embracing Elixir Realm? What kind of monster was he?

“Old Lu, clean up those two!”

While attacking ferociously, Ning Daoran commanded Big Stupid Deer to take action.

…

“This is bad, let’s escape!”

The young male and female Golden Cores abandoned their array and turned to flee.

But where could they possibly escape to, as Big Stupid Deer let out a deer cry, Spiritual Pressure overwhelming the sky, the blood Qi within his body erupted, various Demon Shape Radiance from the Shape-shifting Technique continuously rotated behind him, instantly increasing his physical strength manifold!

“Puff!”

A flash of golden light passed, Big Stupid Deer’s head drooped, its long antlers plunged from the abdomen of the Golden Core Female Cultivator, blood sprayed wildly, the female cultivator’s eyes widened, her pupils contracting continuously, never in her dreams did she expect to die so cleanly and swiftly.
