Cultivation Starting from Full Talent-Chapter 536 - 534: Breach of Promise

"Keke——"

The Bamboo stick insect continuously emitted long hisses, as it always ambushed others, how could it be ambushed by someone else?

Behind its head, punch after punch landed, every blow striking flesh!

"Peng Peng Peng~~~"

Amidst the loud noise, the Bamboo stick insect’s head buzzed incessantly.

Although as a Nascent Soul Early Stage Demon Beast it indeed possessed a powerful physical body, the Bamboo stick insect’s innate divine ability was concealment and speed, not physical strength. After being brutally battered by Ning Daoran’s Twenty Fifth Layer of Dragon Demon Power, its aura plummeted; it simply wasn’t a match!

"Keke~~~"

Following an enraged cry, the Bamboo stick insect’s wings on its back vibrated continuously, suddenly exuding a surge of evil qi, transforming into a storm charging towards Ning Daoran.

Unexpectedly, amidst a flash of lightning, Ning Daoran silently vanished from the spot, that sudden burst of evil qi striking nothing but air!

The next second Ning Daoran appeared on the flank, grabbing a leg of the Bamboo stick insect and slamming it onto the ground, a fierce foot stomping on the abdomen of the insect, and once again punches fell like rain in disarray.

Ning Daoran had never before used such wild, unrestrained attacks to defeat his masters, and this Bamboo stick insect was the first Nascent Soul entity to receive such treatment.

After a series of chaotic attacks, the Bamboo stick insect’s aura became even more disorderly and weakened.

"Pu!"

Without knowing when, a Big Spear appeared in Ning Daoran’s hands, directly stabbing into the abdomen of the Bamboo stick insect and deeply nailing it into the underground rocks. Then, with both hands, he summoned the terrifying power of Moving Mountains and Seas; with two "pu pu" sounds, he tore off the wings of the Bamboo stick insect. Subsequently, raising his hand, dozens of Golden Silk Swords flew out, "pu pu pu" piercing through the Bamboo stick insect’s body.

In the air, the bilious green blood splattered everywhere, looking extremely chilling.

The swift, ruthless, and effective manner in which Ning Daoran struck left Lu Wenyao, along with Lu Yunzhou who occasionally glanced over from Qiyun Tower, all stunned. Is this really just Nascent Soul Early Stage? How could he be so fierce?

Normally, human Nascent Soul Early Stage Cultivators facing Nascent Soul Early Stage Demon Beasts, not being overwhelmed would already be a cause for gratitude, where would one find someone like him who could beat a Nascent Soul Early Stage Demon Beast half to death in a storm-like attack?

"Fellow Daoist..."

The Bamboo stick insect continuously coughed up blood, pleading in human speech: "Fellow Daoist, spare my life... This king knows its wrong, as long as Fellow Daoist spares my life, this king is willing to follow Fellow Daoist, with absolutely no second thoughts..."

"It’s too late!"

Ning Daoran raised his hand and a sword fell, immediately causing the head of the Bamboo stick insect to tumble out.

Just when the Nascent Soul was about to escape, a Forbidden Breaking Talisman from Ning Daoran sealed the space, followed by a hand grabbing the Nascent Soul and feeding it into the cherry-small mouth of Little Qing.

The crisp chewing naturally goes without saying.

"Roar~~~"

Not far away, the Rock Dragon roared, its body rolling, tightly coiling around the Southern Stone Turtle.

Ning Daoran summoned his mana, collecting the physical body of the Bamboo stick insect into the Storage Bag, then no longer concerned himself with the conflict here, rising lightly, transforming into a streak of fiery red light appearing on the bow of the Qilin Immortal Boat.

With the Bamboo stick insect dead, Jing Long’s biggest trump card, and the biggest variable in the entire battle at Qiyun Tower was eliminated.

At this moment, the outcome was decided.

"Roar~~~"

The Southern Stone Turtle roared, its body’s Turtle Shell showing cracks under the frequent attacks of many Cultivators, likely unable to last much longer.

...

"It’s over..."

Inside Qiyun Tower, Old Jing Long suddenly let out a sigh of lament.

Fate plays tricks on people, Lu Yunzhou had calculatedly launched a raid on Qiyun Tower and succeeded, initially the Bamboo stick insect’s ambush was successful, only if it could have killed the Rock Dragon and split off forces to deal with Lu Yunzhou together, there would have been a chance.

Unfortunately, Jing Long had offended someone he shouldn’t have years ago in the Star Fallen Mountain Range.

Fire Element True Monarch!

Jing Long never imagined that this person would be the biggest variable at the edge of life and death for Qiyun Tower.

"Such is the time! Such is fate!"

Suddenly, Jing Long transformed into a streak of blood light rushing down, said: "Nanshi, let’s go!"

"Roar~~~"

That Southern Stone Turtle suddenly opened its huge mouth, its tongue rolling out and protecting Jing Long inside its belly, then immediately the Turtle Shell spun, streaks of Earth attribute mana surged, and directly tunneled into the ground!

"Ancestor???"

A group of disciples from Qiyun Tower who had been fighting bloodily were stunned.

Jing Long said to leave and just left, abandoning the grand Qiyun Tower just like that!

"Shua——"

A streak of white light burst forth, Lu Yunzhou sped away in pursuit, determined to kill Jing Long!

He was too eager to kill Jing Long.

As long as that Southern Stone Turtle was still alive, Jing Long could still have thousands of years of long life, but Lu Yunzhou did not have so long to live, once he withers away, his daughter Lu Wenyao, being just a Golden Core Late Stage, although guarded by the Rock Dragon, how could she possibly match an opponent like Old Jing Long, a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Great Cultivator?

On the Qilin Immortal Boat.

Ning Daoran looked indifferent; he originally did not plan to get involved in the conflict between the Beast Taming Sect and Qiyun Tower. He only acted now as it concerned the Five-Colored Deer Chanting Technique, besides, it was Jing Long who provoked him first, this was all deservedly his doing.

"Senior Ning..."

Lu Wenyao performed a curtsey, smiling: "If not for Senior Ning’s intervention, our Beast Taming Sect could not have so easily breached the ancestral ground of Qiyun Tower. Wenyao here thanks Senior Ning!"

"No need for courtesy, Sect Master Lu."

Ning Daoran smiled: "I wasn’t helping your Sect without a reason; it was merely a transaction. I eradicated the Nascent Soul Bamboo stick insect, your Sect gave a copy of the Five-Colored Deer Chanting Technique to me, so we’re even now."

"Of course."

Lu Wenyao had no objections to this.

...

The fierce battle at the ancestral grounds of Qiyun Tower continues.

Although the ancestor, Old Jing Long, has already fled far away, the remaining disciples of Qiyun Tower, knowing that escape was no longer possible, resorted to fighting desperately. The Beast Taming Sect showed no mercy, declaring no prisoners shall be spared—all were to be slaughtered!

Qiyun Tower is fundamentally a family of cultivators, all bearing the Jing surname, linked by blood, making it extremely difficult for people from Qiyun Tower to defect to the Beast Taming Sect.

Moreover, there’s a high probability that Jing Long would not die. Should this Nascent Soul Mid Stage Cultivator return and call to arms, those surviving clan members of Qiyun Tower would likely respond.

Thus, rather than leaving the disciples of Qiyun Tower, it’s better to just annihilate them, crushing the destiny and fortunes of Qiyun Tower for the next several hundreds of years. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

For such matters...

Ning Daoran had grown accustomed. The wars in the Cultivation World are indeed more brutal than mortal wars; eradication truly means eradication, permanently scattering the souls, meaning sometimes they don’t even get the chance to avenge through rebirth. It is indeed a once and for all solution.

The great battle persisted until dawn.

After the battle ended, firelight and smoke shrouded the ancestral grounds of Qiyun Tower, the tower itself still stood atop the Fifth-order Spiritual Vein, but regrettably, the Beast Taming Sect’s flag was now planted on the rooftop.

Lu Yunzhou returned.

Indeed, the Earth Tunneling Southern Stone Turtle was very difficult to kill, and this Primordial Martial God did not succeed.

After leaving a portion of his forces to guard Qiyun Tower, Lu Yunzhou ordered everyone to return to the Beast Taming Sect, hosting a grand feast that very night, with Ning Daoran naturally sitting in the seat of honor.

The battle of Qiyun Tower, if it weren’t for Ning Daoran, the Jing family might not have been defeated so thoroughly.

...

At night, within the Beast Taming Sect, lights were bright and wine fragrance filled the air.

After the third round of drinking, everyone was enjoying to the fullest.

"Although we did not manage to slay Jing Long in this battle, we managed to uproot the foundation of Qiyun Tower completely. This battle owes much to Fellow Daoist Ning’s significant contribution. Lu offers a toast to Fellow Daoist Ning, please do drink this cup to the full!"

Lu Yunzhou initiated the toast, one of the many that night.

"Thank you, Pavilion Master Lu!"

Ning Daoran drank as usual, with the Spiritual Wine processed momentarily by the Eternal Green Technique inside him, unable to numb him in the slightest.

Seeing everyone enjoying, Ning Daoran stood up to take his leave.

Under the moonlight, three figures walked out of the Beast Taming Sect’s banquet hall.

Ning Daoran, clad in a red robe, exuding an Immortal Charm.

"Pavilion Master Lu."

He slowly bowed with a fist clasped: "I hope the Pavilion Master has not forgotten the initial deal with me. I assisted the Beast Taming Sect in taking down the ancestral grounds of Qiyun Tower, with the condition being that the Pavilion Master gifts me a copy of the Five-Colored Deer Chanting Technique."

"Naturally, I would not forget at this time."

Lu Yunzhou’s voice was low: "However, there are a few finer points that I must inform Fellow Daoist Ning about, to prevent any misunderstandings or disputes between us, which would be rather regrettable."

"Hmm."

Ning Daoran nodded: "Please do speak clearly, Pavilion Master Lu."

"Alright."

Lu Yunzhou said gravely: "The Five-Colored Deer Chanting Technique is fundamental to the Beast Taming Sect, across thousands of years, it is because of this Cultivation Technique that our sect has successfully raised more than ten Nascent Soul Stage Spiritual Beasts, holding up the foundation of our sect. This technique is extremely mystical, even in the Beast Taming Sect, it is not fully taught to any spiritual beasts other than the Sect Master and Inheriting Disciples."

"I see, so what about it?"

"Thus..."

Lu Yunzhou narrowed his eyes: "It is simple for Fellow Daoist Ning to obtain the Five-Colored Deer Chanting Technique. There is a perfect solution."

"Oh?"

Ning Daoran spoke indifferently: "What solution?"

"As long as Fellow Daoist Ning agrees to take the position of Supreme Guest Elder in our Beast Taming Sect, naturally, you would be one of our own, and it would be only appropriate for Lu to gift the Five-Colored Deer Chanting Technique to Fellow Daoist Ning, what do you think?"

"So..."

Ning Daoran was visibly furious: "You mean to say... if I do not agree to become the Supreme Guest Elder of the Beast Taming Sect, Pavilion Master Lu would break the agreement and refuse to hand over the Five-Colored Deer Chanting Technique to me, is that correct?"

"That’s not what I mean."

Lu Yunzhou smiled: "Fellow Daoist should not be angry. Lu is merely stating the facts. Moreover, becoming a Guest Elder of our sect is hardly a disgrace for Fellow Daoist, why the insistence?"

"Hmph, I see..."

Unable to suppress it, Ning Daoran scoffed coldly: "So the famed Martial God of Hun State is just this—a dishonest and despicable person indeed. Forget the Five-Colored Deer Chanting Technique, I shall take my leave now!"

"No farewell."

Lu Yunzhou’s eyes were indifferent, his face showing no emotion.

"Senior Ning..."

Lu Wenyao was anxious.

She couldn’t even speak, forced to watch Ning Daoran breaking with her father.

But, was it truly necessary to offend a powerful Nascent Soul Cultivator like Ning Daoran just for a copy of the Five-Colored Deer Chanting Technique?

...

After returning to his Cave Mansion.

Ning Daoran went into seclusion once more, he had ample patience. With Lu Yunzhou’s modes of conduct, it wouldn’t be long before the Beast Taming Sect ceased dominating Hun State.

Thus, Ning Daoran had time, waiting for the chance to witness them rise high and then fall. He believed this opportunity wouldn’t take too long.

Just like that, two hurried years passed.

A figure appeared outside Ning Daoran’s Cave Mansion, a Female Mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator dressed in a green long dress appeared, looking somewhat shy but very pretty.
