Chapter 278 -276: Chi Dragon Bi
“Don’t, Fellow Daoist Jianjia… oh no, Senior Jianjia…”
“If Senior is willing to spare this junior, this junior can…”
The Nascent Soul of Ancestor Xu trembled with fear, shattering the illusion of the Nascent Soul Stage’s prestige and dignity, begging desperately without regard for face.
Ning Daoran’s gaze remained indifferent, his mind made up.
Above the Tianluo Sea, it was the first time Ancestor Xu ambushed him.
Within Bamboo Wind Lake, even with the protection of Shen Luoyan, Ancestor Xu still sought to kill him – that was the second time.
With these two attempts, Ancestor Xu could go to his death.
…
Upon retrieving the Soul Refining Tower, Ning Daoran’s eyes turned icy cold.
“Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh~~~”
A series of Golden Silk Swords rose into the air behind him, their tips pointing straight at the Seven-Colored Peacock.
“Fellow Daoist…”
The Nascent Soul of the Seven-Colored Peacock showed signs of fatigue, smiling bitterly, “Well, it’s come to this point, I, as a Nascent Soul, am no longer your match. Do as you please, I have no complaints.”
This Seven-Colored Peacock was somewhat strange.
Ning Daoran frowned, raising a hand, and immediately twenty-four Golden Silk Swords, carrying the sword intent of the Liangyi Sword Technique, broke through the air, hurtling towards the Seven-Colored Peacock.
“Fellow Daoist, just do it…”
The Seven-Colored Peacock opened its wings and surprisingly met the onslaught of the Golden Silk Swords with its bare flesh, immediately feathers flew, and new wounds pierced by the Golden Silk Swords appeared all over its body.
‘Odd…’
Ning Daoran waved his left hand, and the Lingxiao Mist Dream Bracelet activated. Mana surged in an instant, and a swath of frost swept forward. As long as the Seven-Colored Peacock could be frozen, there would be no danger.
Unexpectedly, the right wing of the Seven-Colored Peacock creaked, as if it were splitting away from its body.
At the same time, the peacock’s eyes suddenly rolled, and the Nascent Soul on its head flashed with an eerie light. It screamed piercingly, and a golden Lifebound True Feather streaked towards him!
There was still a trump card!
Ning Daoran was prepared. At the moment the Lifebound True Feather attacked, he lightly patted the green gourd at his waist. The Luminous Jade Gourd soared up, and its mouth faced the Lifebound True Feather, unleashing whirls of suction!
“You…”
The Seven-Colored Peacock was shocked, not expecting its Lifebound True Feather to be trapped.
“Capture!”
Ning Daoran slapped the Luminous Jade Gourd, directly collecting the opponent’s last Lifebound True Feather within the gourd – a Fourth-tier Demon Bird’s Lifebound True Feather, a treasure worth a fortune!
“Chirp chirp—”
The Seven-Colored Peacock shrieked, quickly burning its Primordial Qi. At the same time, the entire right wing detached from its body, swiftly refined by the burning Primordial Qi. In the next moment, the feathers on the severed wing rapidly extended, and in the blink of an eye, the whole wing was transformed into a golden cage that firmly imprisoned Ning Daoran on the spot.
“Fellow Daoist, feel the wrath of my Seven-colored Demon Fire!”
The feathers transformed into a cage began to burn incessantly!
Instantly, Ning Daoran was as if trapped in Lord’s Furnace like the Monkey King, burned to the point of skin splitting and flesh cracking. This Seven-colored Demon Fire, being a Nascent Soul Stage Divine Skill of the Seven-Colored Peacock, was naturally not something he, merely at the Golden Core Stage, could withstand.
“Ao ao~~”
Inside Grotto Heaven of Spirit Garden, creatures like Big Stupid Deer and Little Bai were about to come out.
“Don’t come out to die!”
Ning Daoran frowned and quickly patted the Spirit Beast Bag, releasing tens of thousands of Fire Devouring Ants with the order, “Eat through a gap at the fastest speed to let me out, hurry!”
The Fire Devouring Ants are of the Fire Attribute and have a strong resistance to fire.
Moreover, with their rapid reproduction, even if a batch died, Ning Daoran wouldn’t be too distressed. Losing any of the likes of Big Stupid Deer, Little Blackie, or Green Water Turtle would strike at the very foundation.
…
Tens of thousands of Fire Devouring Ants worked tirelessly, furiously gnawing at the cage.
However, the Seven-colored Demon Fire was too fierce, and even the Fire Devouring Ants would be burnt to death. On the interior side of the robust cage, the ants kept falling in droves!
Ning Daoran was burned black, relying solely on the intense manipulation of the Lingxiao Mist Dream Bracelet to form frost for cooling, but this severely damaged the bracelet, and in a moment, fine cracks appeared on its midsection.
This won’t do!
Ning Daoran quickly stowed away the Lingxiao Mist Dream Bracelet and circulated the Water attribute Golden Core within his body to cling to life.
Time trickled by.
After about half an hour, tens of thousands of Fire Devouring Ants perished, yet they finally nibbled a gap in the cage.
“Swoosh!”
Ning Daoran turned into a beam of light and rushed out, his whole body charred, emitting smoke, the piteous scene like that of burned green rock.
Meanwhile, the Seven-Colored Peacock, having amputated an arm to imprison him, lay not far away, already hardened…
Ning Daoran frowned and probed with his Divine Sense.
He finally confirmed that this was just the “relic” of the Seven-Colored Peacock. There was a crack on its head, through which the Nascent Soul had already fled, even abandoning its physical body.
This battle proved extremely perilous but ultimately bore excellent results.
Ning Daoran avenged himself by slaying Ancestor Xu and utterly destroyed the flesh of the Seven-Colored Peacock.
Even though the Nascent Soul of the Seven-Colored Peacock had fled, whether it possessed a human cultivator or a Demon Beast, its cultivation would significantly diminish.
At the very least, it would drop to Golden Core Stage, and although it could re-cultivate to Nascent Soul standard relatively quickly, this ‘short’ time is still in relation to the lengthy life of Nascent Soul Stage, and this recovery period would take at least fifty years.
So, even if the Seven-Colored Peacock wished for revenge, it lacked the capability in the short term, and by the time it regained its strength, Ning Daoran might have already advanced to the later stages of Golden Core or even achieved Nascent Soul, by then, the Seven-Colored Peacock would have even less chance for vengeance!
“Sigh…”
Ning Daoran took a deep breath and began to clean up the battlefield.
He put the entire physical body of the Seven-Colored Peacock into the Storage Ring. The body of a Fourth-tier Early Stage Demon Beast, each part was a treasure, and it should be utilized carefully.
Moreover, he also pocketed the Storage Bag of Ancestor Xu.
Ancestor Xu had quite a profound legacy. There were as many as one hundred and twenty thousand Spirit Stones in the Storage Bag alone, not to mention there were up to a hundred Spiritual Artifacts and Magic Artifacts, rightfully earning him the title of a hoarder of treasures.
And there was one treasure in particular that Ning Daoran was very interested in.
The Chi Dragon Bi, a Third-tier Top-Grade Magical Treasure.
Moreover, this item was also an Ancient Treasure that had already developed a bit of spirituality.
The Chi Dragon Bi excelled in defense, which was exactly what Ning Daoran lacked. He had even used the Chi Long Ding as a defensive treasure previously, but now he no longer needed to, for the Chi Long Ding was an Artifact Refining Treasure and should be dedicated to that purpose.
The Chi Dragon Bi was indeed a true defensive treasure. Its protection was airtight, and it should be utilized properly.
Furthermore, the “Sword” that Ancestor Xu used to trap the Seven-Colored Peacock, at least thirty feet in length, was also a treasure that contained an extremely rich essence of Gold Attribute Essence Qi. After nurturing it for a while, it should transform into what was known as a Magical Treasure Embryo, a valuable item. Even if he did not need it himself later, it could be used for currying favors or sold for Spirit Stones.
As for the Nascent Soul of Ancestor Xu that was trapped in the Soul Refining Tower, Ning Daoran did not immediately assimilate it. Instead, he intended to repeatedly Soul Search Ancestor Xu, to fully uncover all that the Nascent Soul Old Monster had to offer before finally disposing of him.
…
In the six months that followed, Ning Daoran returned to Qingli Mountain and lay low for a full six months.
During this half a year, he did many things, including repeatedly Soul Searching the Nascent Soul of Ancestor Xu, gaining a lot of unique and interesting Nascent Soul knowledge.
In addition, he also learned that Ancestor Xu’s grandson, Xu Xinghe, was strongly against the ambush at sea that targeted him. That was also the reason Ning Daoran did not see Xu Xinghe on the ship; by that time, due to his opposition, Xu Xinghe had been grounded by his father, Xu Yuan, and was confined within the Xu’s Ancestral Land for a full two years.
In the same six months, Big Stupid Deer continued to forge, and with Ning Daoran’s help, they refined the Lifebound Scale of the Two-Horned Python and finally created a Third-tier Mid-grade Python Scale Armor!
By now, Big Stupid Deer’s skills had reached Great Success, and he could continuously make money for the Ning Family Army. Moreover, with his vigorous Blood Qi, Big Stupid Deer could forge non-stop, proving to be much more useful than the average Human Clan Divine Craftsman.
More importantly…
Take Mo Yunting, for example, who only brought the Wanxiang Cloud Thunder Hammer Technique to perfection. In reality, he cannot compare to White Deer; White Deer had Returned to Nature with his Hammering Technique. As long as the grade of the materials kept up, the probability of forging Magic Treasure Level inner armor and weapons was much higher than that of an average human Divine Craftsman.
One day, deep inside the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven.
Ning Daoran was meditating when suddenly, a movement in his mind made it seem as if an invisible cocoon deep inside his body had burst open in an instant. Following that, his Dantian began to expand, the five Golden Cores resonating together as the Blood Qi in his body became even more vigorous and the intensity of the Evergreen Technique mana increased by at least forty percent in an instant!
Breakthrough!
Mid-stage Golden Core!
This year, Ning Daoran had just turned 200 years old.
He reached Core Formation at 140, and in the blink of an eye, a long cycle of sixty years had passed, and he had finally reached the Mid-stage Golden Core.
“Roar roar~”
Beside him, Big Stupid Deer nudged his arm, congratulating his big brother on the breakthrough.
“Small feat.”
Ning Daoran rubbed the neck of Big Stupid Deer and smiled, “Old Lu, we’ve been out for sixty years, shouldn’t we go back to the Sect, back to the village to take a look?”
“Roar roar!”
Big Stupid Deer nodded, indicating that it was indeed time to go back and have a look.
“Brother Ran.”
The Green Water Turtle said, “We should also stop by Qingdian Lake on the way!”
“Alright!”
…
Nevertheless, Ning Daoran planned to first make a trip back to Immortal White Dragon City to see the current state of the city.
The next morning, mist hung in the air between heaven and earth.
Ning Daoran, in a blue garment and radiating the aura of Mid-stage Golden Core, returned to Immortal White Dragon City with Big Stupid Deer.

“Senior Ning!”
The cultivator guarding the city was Chen Wen, who was overjoyed, “It turns out Senior Ning is not dead… Half a year ago, there were rumors that Senior Ning had a great battle with the Seven-Colored Peacock and was harmed by the Nascent Soul Demon Beast. It seems that was not the case…”
“I was lucky to escape with my life.”
Ning Daoran nodded with a smile.
“Senior has advanced to the Mid-stage Golden Core?” Chen Wen enviously remarked.
“Just luck.”
Ning Daoran merely replied politely and entered the city.
The city had been reorganized in the last six months.
Chen Wen, walking alongside him, said, “After the fall of Ancestor Xu and the decline of the Xu Family, this Immortal White Dragon City has been taken over by Slaying Immortal Tower. The new master is a mysterious Nascent Soul with the surname Shen; none of us have ever met him.”
It was likely to be Shen Luoyan.
Ning Daoran smiled faintly. It was logical that, with the fall of Xu Changyang, a person from Slaying Immortal Tower, the Immortal White Dragon City was conveniently taken over by the same Tower.
Ning Daoran returned the Identity Jade Token that entitled him to the city, canceled the lease on his Cave Mansion, and completed all procedures.
“Array Master Ning, you’re leaving?”
“Array Master Ning, are you departing from Immortal City?”
On the streets, many acquaintances greeted him one after another.
Ning Daoran nodded in response to each of them, indicating he would continue his travels around the world.
Yet, at a stall on the street corner, he saw a young man at the Qi Refining Ninth Level selling Talismans. It appeared he had suffered severe injuries and looked quite ill; he was the only remaining direct descendant of the Xu Family, Xu Xinghe!
