Cultivation Starting from Full Talent-Chapter 535 - 533: A Gentleman’s Revenge

"The inevitable has finally arrived."

Ning Daoran rose to his full height, ready to receive guests.

"Young Master."

Little Bai walked out of the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven with him, saying, "Lu Yunzhou has always been at odds with Young Master, so why has he come to visit this time?"

"It’s nothing more than the matter of Qiyun Tower."

Ning Daoran’s gaze was indifferent, "The conflict between Beast Taming Sect and Qiyun Tower is about to conclude, with Beast Taming Sect having the upper hand. However, they have not dared to invade the ancestral land of Qiyun Tower due to the fear of Old Jing Long, the ancestor of Qiyun Tower. Lu Yunzhou’s visit undoubtedly aims to seek my assistance to decisively eliminate Qiyun Tower."

"I see."

Little Bai nodded with a smile, "What does the Young Master think?"

"Since that’s the case, why not go with the flow?"

Ning Daoran smiled faintly, "It just so happens, I also wish to destroy Qiyun Tower to avenge the arrow incident from last time."

Little Bai squinted, merely smiling and nodding.

...

Inside the Cave Mansion.

Ning Daoran, in a red robe, after lifting the Cave Mansion Restriction, greeted with a fist and smile, "Welcoming Pavilion Master Lu, welcoming Sect Master Lu, my humble abode is simple, but I hope you’ll come inside for a cup of tea and discuss in detail! Little Bai, serve the tea!"

"Yes, Young Master..."

Not far away, the female cultivator in white curtsied, and gracefully began to steep the Spiritual Tea.

Lu Wenyao watched with admiration, unable to stop being dazzled by the beautiful woman who surprisingly resided in Senior Ning’s residence.

Lu Yunzhou maintained his Divine Breath within, his face though old, was ruddy and vigorous.

However, Ning Daoran could tell at a glance that Lu Yunzhou did not have much life left, unable to break through to the Golden Core in spiritual cultivation, nearing his end, which was just like Big Stupid Deer’s Reincarnation Light matter.

"Please, have some tea."

Ning Daoran sat upright, smiling.

"Fellow Daoist Ning, please!"

This time, Lu Yunzhou was exceptionally courteous, his eyes also carrying a gentle smile.

After a few sips of tea, Lu Wenyao moved to the main topic.

"Qiyun Tower is stubborn and resistant to the Emperor’s decree, choosing to be enemies with the Cultivation World of Sangyu Country. Our battle with Qiyun Tower is nearing its end, but their ancestral land’s defenses are extremely strong, and we have not been able to conquer it."

Lu Wenyao tugged at the corners of her mouth, smiling, "Therefore, my father and I came to visit Senior Ning, hoping that Senior Ning can step in and help the Beast Taming Sect break through the defenses of Qiyun Tower’s ancestral land."

"Fellow Daoist Ning."

Lu Yunzhou put his fists together and smiled, "Lu has always known that Fellow Daoist prefers secluded cultivation and avoids conflicts in the Cultivation World. This time we will not let Fellow Daoist come here for nothing. If Fellow Daoist is willing to help and can assist the Beast Taming Sect in breaking through Qiyun Tower’s ancestral land, Lu is willing to break the rules of the ancestors and offer Fellow Daoist a copy of the Five-Colored Deer Chanting Technique, what do you say?"

"Really?"

Ning Daoran raised his eyebrows lightly, thinking if such a good deal could really be true?

"Lu’s words are as heavy as nine tripods, please rest assured, Fellow Daoist!"

"In that case..."

Ning Daoran pondered for a moment, "I can agree to this request. However, I must declare upfront that I will not kill Jing Long. I have no mortal feud with Qiyun Tower, and do not wish to make such an enemy. However, concerning Jing Long’s two Nascent Soul Early Stage Demon Beasts, the Southern Stone Turtle and the Bamboo stick insect, I can help Beast Taming Sect control them a bit."

"Oh?"

Lu Yunzhou’s heart leaped with joy. If he understood correctly, Ning Daoran mentioned "control", indicating that he indeed had the means to contain those troublesome demon beasts. If so, breaking through Qiyun Tower’s ancestral land would naturally be a small matter.

"Agreed!"

Lu Yunzhou immediately nodded, "With Fellow Daoist Ning’s help, a great achievement for the Beast Taming Sect is within reach!"

"Then, it is settled!"

Lu Wenyao’s face was filled with joy, respectfully fist-greeting, "Senior Ning, the attack on Qiyun Tower’s ancestral land will need some planning, it could take up to half a year at most and at minimum, a month. We will inform Senior when we decide to act!"

"Good."

Ning Daoran smiled and nodded, saying no more.

The Lu father and daughter then continued to drink tea for a while before leaving together, with many matters to attend to. Having already made arrangements with Ning Daoran, they did not wish to waste too much time here.

...

Thus, Ning Daoran went back into secluded cultivation.

Three months later.

"Whirl~~Whirl~~~"

A Sound Transmission Talisman flew into the Cave Mansion Restriction, fluttering about like a headless fly.

Ning Daoran raised his hand and captured the Sound Transmission Talisman, Lu Wenyao’s voice emerged, "Tonight, after nightfall, please Senior head to the Star Rain Peak of the Beast Taming Sect. Today is the day we attack Qiyun Tower’s ancestral land!"

"Finally, the time has come."

Ning Daoran crushed the Sound Transmission Talisman, turning to say, "Old Lu, Little Bai, get ready, we are heading to Qiyun Tower’s ancestral land!!"

"Awooooo~~~"

Big Stupid Deer let out a long cry, indicating that last time was not satisfying enough, and this time it must have a blast fighting the Southern Stone Turtle for three hundred rounds!

As night fell, Ning Daoran attached the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven to his waist, turning into a bloody Tunneling light flying out of the Cave Mansion, rushing straight to the Beast Taming Sect.

Beast Taming Sect, Star Rain Peak.

This is a lush, vibrant peak that twinkles under the moonlight like starlight, perhaps that’s why it was named Star Rain Peak.

An obscuring array stretches across the peak of Star Rain Peak, enveloping the summit in a misty haze, obfuscating the true view.

Ning Daoran cast two spells, floating down into the array.

"Senior Ning!"

A streak of golden light flew towards him; it was Lu Wenyao, who smiled slightly, "It’s a great honor to have Senior Ning personally make this trip. Our Beast Taming Sect and the Martial God Pavilion’s cultivators have all gathered at Star Rain Peak. Please join me aboard the Qilin Immortal Boat, and let’s attack the ancestral land of Qiyun Tower!"

"Very well."

Ning Daoran nodded smilingly, hands clasped behind his back, following behind Lu Wenyao and entering the mist ahead. As the mists dispersed, numerous spirit boats appeared before them, with a vast building-type ship at the center emitting the aura of a treasure, it was the Qilin Immortal Boat that Lu Wenyao just mentioned.

Ning Daoran glanced at it, feeling inwardly astounded.

This Qilin Immortal Boat was much bigger than the large ship he once built for fishing and was covered in symbols and intricate arrays, seemingly very sturdy. Additionally, there were several Spirit Light Cannons arranged on both sides of the boat, and the outer layer of the ship was covered in dragon scale-like defensive objects, clearly showing it to be an immensely valuable immortal boat.

He couldn’t help but inwardly sigh, the foundation of the Beast Taming Sect was truly unfathomable!

"Fellow Daoist Ning."

At the bow of the Qilin Immortal Boat, a martial artist with a formidable energy turned and smiled with a bow, it was Lu Yunzhou.

Ning Daoran returned the gesture with a bow and exchanged a few cordial words.

"Set off!"

At Lu Wenyao’s command, numerous spirit boats, positioned around the Qilin Immortal Boat, moved together towards the ancestral land of Qiyun Tower.

...

Ning Daoran, hands still clasped behind his back, began to observe the Qilin Immortal Boat again.

It was not just as simple as it appeared on the surface. Within the body of the Qilin Immortal Boat, there was an embedding obscuring array of at least the Third-tier top-grade, which, once activated, gathered a vast expanse of thick clouds within dozens of miles around the immortal boat.

This cloud layer not only obscured the sight but also blocked off any trace of their aura, allowing the entire fleet to move silently across the sky, resembling nothing more than a drifting cloud, which would not catch anyone’s attention.

Impressive, the Beast Taming Sect really went to great lengths to fully annihilate Qiyun Tower.

Ning Daoran frowned slightly; the father-daughter duo of Lu Yunzhou and Lu Wenyao indeed had profound schemes.

Several hours later.

The Qilin Immortal Boat, leading many spirit boats, flew into a forest brimming with spiritual energy. Continuous structures spread throughout the deeper parts of the forest, with a tall building rising from the center straight into the clouds.

They had reached the ancestral land of Qiyun Tower!

At this time, the ancestral land of Qiyun Tower was completely unguarded, even the peripheral protective grand arrays were not activated, and even after the Qilin Immortal Boat flew deep into the ancestral land, the opponent remained clueless.

Ning Daoran stood at the bow, speechless.

Jing Long, as a Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator, really had a bit lacking in spiritual perception and crisis awareness. If it were him, he would not have been so unaware; a Class A Paperfolk stationed as a lookout would probably have already sensed something amiss about this wind-defying cloud formation in the air.

"Attack!"

Lu Yunzhou suddenly stood up, his body surged with Blood Qi Power as his Fist Mastery exploded. In an instant, he rose from the bow of the boat, transforming into a stream of white light, and heavily punched towards the rooftop of Qiyun Tower!

"Lu Yunzhou, you beast!"

A blood-colored figure suddenly rose from the rooftop—it was Jing Long’s Nascent Soul Dharma Form. He actually employed the Nascent Soul Power immediately; one could imagine his deep apprehension towards Lu Yunzhou.

"Charge!"

At Lu Wenyao’s command, the hidden Spirit Boats within the clouds suddenly turned sideways, aiming countless Spirit Light Cannons at Qiyun Tower and the surrounding buildings. The next moment, the Spirit Light Cannons fired in unison, and a continuous booming erupted!

"Buzz~~~"

Inside Qiyun Tower, an Array ascended, enveloping the entire tower within it. The Spirit Light Cannons exploded outside, creating deep blue ripples.

However, the other areas did not have the strength of Qiyun Tower as buildings nearby almost instantly turned to rubble under the fierce cannonade of the Spirit Light Cannons. The Cave Mansions on the mountainside burst one after another. More than half of the Cave Mansions were destroyed before any cultivators could emerge, the death and damage was unimaginably severe.

"Roar~~~"

Amidst the roaring, a Southern Stone Turtle hidden in a pool brimming with Spiritual Energy at the mountainside suddenly stood up. Its body swooped upward, spewing a stream of Earth attribute Fierce Flame, directly hitting a nearby Spirit Boat into wreckage.

"Go!"

Lu Wenyao immediately removed the golden glistening Spirit Beast Bag from her waist. Instantly, a stream of golden light flew out, transforming into a robustly built Nascent Soul Early Stage Rock Dragon. Hovering in the air, it stomped down, instantly stepping on the shell of the Southern Stone Turtle. Then with its jaws wide open, it bit down on the head with a "puff" sound and started fiercely tearing by shaking its neck.

The combat power of the Southern Stone Turtle was originally comparable to the Rock Dragon, yet it was caught off guard and instantaneously subdued.

"Quick, rescue the Southern Stone Turtle!"

Within the Array of Qiyun Tower, Jing Long was thrown against the Array’s inner wall by Lu Yunzhou’s punch, his body’s Spirit Light bursting apart. Still, he managed to break the seal of a Spirit Beast Bag at his waist. Instantly, a gray shadow dashed out.

"Shh!"

A streak of cold light shone in the air. The scythe blade of the Bamboo stick insect unexpectedly cut open the scales on the neck of the Rock Dragon creating a half-meter deep wound, causing the Rock Dragon to spill blood in the wind.

"Be careful, it’s the Nascent Soul Stage Bamboo stick insect!"

Several Beast Taming Sect cultivators descending from the sky shouted, but it was already too late. The Bamboo stick insect suddenly transformed into a streak of cold light, sweeping through the crowd. The next moment, dozens of heads rolled down from their necks.

This scene was indeed horrifying; even Lu Wenyao, standing on the Qilin Immortal Boat, was stunned.

Old Jing Long was able to protect Qiyun Tower undefeated for thousands of years—his foundation is truly deep!

...

"Heh heh~~~"

In the air, the Bamboo stick insect fluttered its wings as its scythe blade harshly chopped onto the back of the Rock Dragon’s head.

It appeared extremely exhilarated, having already savored the exquisite taste of fresh blood.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by a vice-like large hand that fiercely clutched the back of the Bamboo stick insect’s head. Amid the breaking wind, a "bang" sound forced the Bamboo stick insect violently into the depths of the ground!
