Chapter 534: Chapter 532 Little Bai Hatching Eggs
Star Fallen Mountain Range.
"Boom boom boom~~~"
The loud explosions were continuous, and the entire mountain forest was trembling.
The sight of two Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators duking it out was terrifying, with swathes of jungle being flattened and even nearby mountains, each with a diameter of several miles, being horizontally sliced open by strands of Sword Qi. Peaks collided and collapsed, scaring the small animals in the woods out of their wits, running haphazardly, regretting that their parents hadn’t given them an extra pair of legs.
After clashing with brute Strength for thirty moves.
Sweat beads appeared on Jing Long’s old face. He couldn’t understand how he, a Nascent Soul Mid Stage Cultivator, was unable to suppress Ning Daoran, who was just at the early stage of Nascent Soul, despite the fact that the opponent’s revealed physical Strength was also extremely formidable. It shouldn’t have been to this extent.
Fifty moves later.
Jing Long was being suppressed in return...
Ning Daoran kept bringing out magical treasures, using the Blood-drinking Sword, Thunder Sword, and even firing two poisoned arrows from the Extermination of Immortals Divine Crossbow. Unfortunately, despite his age, Jing Long was surprisingly agile and dodged them all.
However, if the fight continued, Jing Long was bound to lose!
Moreover, Ning Daoran hadn’t even shown his martial prowess; otherwise, Jing Long would have been defeated even faster.
...
"Hisss—"
In the midst of Cold Wind, suddenly a sound emerged out of nowhere.
By the time Ning Daoran heard the noise, it was already too late; a bloody gash instantly appeared on his arm. Then, a shadow flickered across the sky, transforming into a two-meter long Demon Beast!
Bamboo stick insect!
Just one glance and Ning Daoran knew what it was!
According to the Ten Thousand Beasts Atlas, the bamboo stick insect was one of the hardest Demon Beasts to cultivate into a spirit; however, once the bamboo stick insect gained spirituality and matured, it became extremely difficult to handle, considered a "top-grade" among Demon Beasts.
So the second Demon Beast that Old Jing Long possesed was actually a bamboo stick insect. No wonder he was so arrogant to dare make a move directly!
"Fellow Daoist, you’ve lost!"
Jing Long sneered, immediately bringing out various treasures to attack!
"Really?"
Although Ning Daoran was injured, he still maintained the advantage. Descending with the wind, he delivered a vicious slash on the outer wall of Jing Long’s Green Treasure Pot, shaking Jing Long violently to the ground. The oppressiveness of his Qi crushed the ground into pieces, quickly forming a web-like crater.
"Hum!"
The next second, a big green spear appeared in Ning Daoran’s hands, his blood Qi boiling instantly, followed by the manifestation of his Dragon Demon Body. The silhouette of the Dragon Demon Martial Infant materialized behind him.
"Bang~~~"
With a forceful thrust of the spear, its overwhelming power sent Jing Long smashing into the ground, person and pot alike.
"Run!"
Jing Long immediately used Earth Tunneling techniques. His body twisted and he flew out from a distance, as several magical treasures struck at him.
Ning Daoran continued to slash with his spear, shaking off all the magical treasures.
Then, in that moment, the bamboo stick insect striking from the void made another move. A scythe blade flew out of thin air, aiming straight for Ning Daoran’s throat, the attack was exceedingly vicious.
Amid sparks flying, Ning Daoran blocked with a sweep of the Big Green Dragon, reversing the strike with a flick of his wrist to catch the bamboo stick insect’s form. He raised his left hand, Fist Mastery swirling, and delivered a powerful punch to the bamboo stick insect’s abdomen!
"Bang!"
In the midst of the booming noise, the carapace of the bamboo stick insect’s abdomen cracked continuously. Even as a Demon Beast at the early stage of Nascent Soul, it couldn’t withstand the physical Strength bolstered by the Dragon Demon Martial Infant!
"Fire Element True Monarch, your opponent is this old man!"
Jing Long, heart aching to the extreme, quickly wielded the Jade Ruler, teleporting the bamboo stick insect away, then conjured several magical treasures to hurl from the sky.
Ning Daoran wielded the long spear, smashing all the magical treasures away, but he then found the arm holding the spear feeling some weakness, as the wound inflicted by the bamboo stick insect began to darken.
By now, the power of the Evergreen Technique was surging within his body, quickly eliminating the poison. Yet, it was impossible to completely cleanse the toxins within a short period. The poison of a Demon Beast at Nascent Soul early stage is naturally quite troublesome.
Even if it wasn’t lethal, it would definitely affect the subsequent battle.
"Fellow Daoist Jing, quite impressive."
Ning Daoran’s gaze turned icy: "Your bamboo stick insect Demon Beast, I will return the favor sooner or later."
"Old Lu, let’s go!"
Saying this, he flicked his spear and in the moment the strike was unleashed, a rain of fire fell from the sky.
Secret skill!
Vermilion Bird Destruction·Blast!
"Scared?"
Jing Long’s heart tightened, quickly refining the Green Treasure Pot to a huge size, while protecting himself and the bamboo stick insect within it. Just as Jing Long was about to pursue Ning Daoran, he found the White Deer carrying him turn into a bolt of lightning, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
This Tunneling speed... completely shocked the Nascent Soul Mid Stage old monster.
"Hmm?"
When Jing Long turned to look, he saw his Southern Stone Turtle lying on its back, signs of a struggle all over its belly and shell as if it had just been mistreated by a heartless person.
Had he delayed any further, the Southern Stone Turtle might have been taken out by the White Deer alone...
"This person..."
Jing Long bit his teeth, his heart filled with annoyance.
He had originally thought that he could capture this man and even kill him on the spot to take the Seven-colored Immortal Falcon Bird Egg, but he hadn’t expected his opponent’s Strength to be so formidable, and even his Nascent Soul Early Stage Demon Beast to be so outrageously strong.
"Fire Element True Monarch... Nascent Soul early stage deer-shaped Spiritual Beast... Dual cultivation of magic and body..."
Jing Long’s brows tightened, then he suddenly felt a chill: "Could it be..."
In his memory, there were not many Great Cultivators who fit these criteria. The most likely possibility was the one who had made a name for himself in the battle at the borders years ago!
Independent Practitioner Jianjia, Flowing Flower Island Master Ning Daoran, had that Devil Head already come to Sangyu Country? And had already successfully formed his Nascent Soul?
If that were the case, it was nothing short of a nightmare for the Cultivation World of Sangyu Country!
"No, that won’t happen..."
Jing Long gritted his teeth: "If that were truly the case, wouldn’t Sangyu Country be plunged into chaos? Those at the late Nascent Soul Stage definitely wouldn’t sit idly by..."
...
Several days later.
Ning Daoran returned to Liuyun Mountain.
By this time, the poison of the bamboo stick insect had been completely cleared, and he was once again full of vigor. As for Jing Long’s matter... there was no rush. A gentleman’s revenge is not too late even after ten years, and in the end, it’s impossible to let Old Jing Long get off easy.
Next, he decided to enter seclusion.
Firstly, to start researching the fusion of the Eternal Immortal Vine with the Nine Yang Furnace Divine Technique, and secondly, to find out how to incubate the egg of the Seven-Colored Immortal Falcon and begin taming this spiritual bird within the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven.
Although Ning Daoran did not plan to include the Seven-Colored Immortal Falcon in the Ning Family Army, he had never tamed spiritual birds before. Old Lu, Little Blackie, Little Bai, and Little Gui were either land animals or aquatic creatures, and at present, the Ning Family Army could only be considered amphibious. But once the Seven-Colored Immortal Falcon was successfully hatched, that would mean true dominance over sea, land, and air.
So...
Ning Daoran set up a bird nest in a spiritual fruit tree next to the cabin and placed the bird egg inside, nurturing it with the power of the Evergreen Technique.
"Young Master."
Little Bai asked, "In doing so, can we really hatch the Seven-Colored Immortal Falcon?"
"Of course not."
Ning Daoran said, "We still lack someone to sit on the egg and hatch it."
"Ah?"
Little Bai’s delicate mouth opened slightly, her pretty face changed slightly, and she suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Little Bai, you have cultivated the Shape-shifting Technique, and you have mastered the Spirit Bird Root Map. Moreover, as a female, you are more skilled at dealing with things that require patience and meticulous care."
Ning Daoran gently patted Little Bai’s shoulder, his eyes conveying the encouragement of a leader presenting an alluring vision to an employee: "This task of hatching the Seven-Colored Immortal Falcon is entrusted to you. And also taming it afterwards; they say that when a bird first breaks its shell, the first person it sees it will consider as its mother. This honorable and difficult duty is now yours!"
Little Bai’s mouth twitched: "Can I refuse?"
"You cannot."
"Alright, Young Master."
Little Bai frowned, feeling that if fate cannot be resisted, then she should adapt to it.
Thus, with a light sway of her arms, she activated her Shape-shifting Technique and turned into a very beautiful white bird, swiftly darting onto the tree, followed by a flapping of her wings, and squatted on the egg.
"..."
Little Blackie and Ning Xiaogui watched in speechlessness.
Big Stupid Deer let out a cry, implying that Little Bai looked quite virtuous while incubating the egg.
Ning Daoran was fully satisfied and resumed his role as a hands-off manager, sitting cross-legged in front of the cabin, embarking on a lengthy cultivation journey.
...
Time flies, and four years passed in the blink of an eye.
This year, at the age of 410, Ning Daoran further refined his mana and was quickly progressing towards the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul. If he could reach the mid-stage, his combat power would undergo a transformation!
"Crack~~~"
On the fruit tree, the incredibly warm egg suddenly cracked.
After four years of incubation, Little Bai finally saw results!
With the breaking of the egg, a burst of seven-colored light spilled out, and a wet spiritual bird opened its watery eyes, seeing the transformed Little Bai before it.
"Chirp chirp~~"
The young Seven-Colored Immortal Falcon cried out, extremely excited.
"Good child..."
Little Bai was overjoyed and quickly transformed back into human form, holding the fledgling tenderly and descended to the ground.
"Huh?"
Ning Daoran frowned; the fledgling looked at Little Bai with stars in its eyes, but when it looked at him, it was filled with intense hatred.
How could this be?!
He soon understood that the fledgling’s spirit had matured four years ago, even though it hadn’t hatched, it was equivalent to witnessing its own mother being killed by Ning Daoran in the falcon’s belly!
With such knowledge...how could this continue?!
Either he now directly kills it, for good, or just cooks it in one pot, in an instant, Ning Daoran’s gaze turned unfriendly.
"Young Master..."
Little Bai protected the fledgling: "There’s... there’s no need for this, right?"
"Indeed, there’s no need."
Ning Daoran operated the Soul Searching Technique, saying: "Don’t move, I’ll erase its unhappy memories."
"Yes!"
A delighted expression appeared on Little Bai’s face.
The next moment, Ning Daoran directly wiped out all memories from before the fledgling hatched.
"Chirp chirp..."
The fledgling fluttered joyously in Little Bai’s arms.
Big Stupid Deer and Ning Xiaogui surrounded them, enjoying the spectacle.
Only Little Blackie licked its lips, feeling that the taste of this Seven-Colored Immortal Falcon might be quite good.
...
"Senior Ning!"
Just then, Ji Ning’s voice entered the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven: "Lu Yunzhou and his daughter Lu Wenyao have come to visit!"
