Cultivation Starting from Full Talent-Chapter 151 - 149 Junior Sister, Save Me!

Chapter 151: Chapter 149 Junior Sister, Save Me!

Zhang Nan’s body shattered into pieces, falling to the dark valley bottom.

“Hmph…”

The corners of Soul-devouring Demon’s mouth twitched inconspicuously.

Zhang Nan was nearly two hundred years old but had still not achieved Core Formation, and this trip into the Feixing Secret Realm was his last gamble.

If he couldn’t obtain the Jiedan Sacred Medicine, he would just be waiting to die.

However, Soul-devouring Demon had not expected Zhang Nan’s mentality to be so poor that he was killed by the Feixing rift as soon as he entered the realm; even the young Independent Practitioner Jianjia had a stronger character!

...

“Let’s go, everyone, don’t be distracted.”

Frowning slightly, Soul-devouring Demon put his hands behind his back and lightly leapt, skimming over the ground along the long bridge toward the front.

Master Du Ye and Old Monster Jinxia also had grave expressions, following suit.

However, Old Demon Qin, the Broken Eyebrow Man, seemed a bit dazed as he glanced in the direction where Zhang Nan’s body had fallen, feeling a pang of sorrow.

Previously, Zhang Nan had conspired with Old Demon Qin that if he obtained a Jiedan Holy Object, he would go to his ancestral lands and close himself off for cultivation; now, ironically, he was the first to die.

Everyone hurried forward for about two hours.

At the end of the dark bridge, they reached a rushing river ahead, too cold, with ice floes drifting on the turbulent water.

“It’s the Flowing Ice River…”

Lay Practitioner Bai Ming’s expression was filled with shock; the last time he was in the Feixing Secret Realm, his female senior at the Late-stage Foundation Establishment had perished in this river.

“Everyone, be careful.”

Soul-devouring Demon looked towards the Flowing Ice River and said, “There are many cracks on the Flowing Ice River; this place forbids flying over, the only way to cross is to sprint across the river surface.”

He squinted his eyes and added casually, “But be careful of what’s under the water.”

“Ah?”

Immortal Ning Yu shivered, her face turning slightly pale.

Master Du Ye said, “Ning Yu, be extra careful. Demon beasts roam beneath these waters, all adept in water, making escape extremely difficult once entangled.”

“Thank you for the reminder, Senior Uncle!”

Immortal Ning Yu nodded slightly.

Tan Shangyu furrowed his brows and transmitted his voice, “Junior Sister, don’t worry, your Senior Brother will brave the same risks alongside you.”

“Thanks, Senior Brother!”

Immortal Ning Yu smiled and nodded, though her smile was somewhat forced, her response seemingly just a polite one.

The cold wind howled.

Ning Daoran stood by the riverbank, his Daoist robe fluttering, his eyes intently staring into the depths of the water.

Indeed, there was a strong surge of demon qi, and one could easily lose their life here.

“Independent Practitioner Jianjia.”

At this moment, Old Monster Jinxia transmitted his voice, “Do not worry, I will protect you crossing the river with the Eight Diagrams Green Scroll and ensure your safety!”

“Ah?”

Ning Daoran was somewhat taken aback, “Then… thank you, Senior Jinxia!”

“You’re welcome.”

Old Monster Jinxia said indifferently, “However, you must not be careless. If the Eight Diagrams Green Scroll fails to protect you, you must look for an opportunity to escape immediately.”

“I will keep that in mind.”

“Fellow Daoists, let’s cross the river!”

Soul-devouring Demon flung his sleeves, turning into a blurry shadow and quickly landing on an ice floe a few yards away, then in another flash crossed several more yards.

His movement technique was extremely refined; his feet barely touched the ice floes and the water’s surface, but he shot forward like a bolt of lightning.

“Ancestor, here I come!”

Old Demon Qin’s eyes sparkled, he fiercely stamped on the ground and dashed forth, closely following Soul-devouring Demon.

Among them, Soul-devouring Demon had the deepest cultivation, at the Gold Core Late Stage, and even if entangled by a demon beast in the Flowing Ice River, he could escape.

Old Demon Qin was clever and had no desire to follow in Zhang Nan’s ill-fated steps.

“Hmph!”

Soul-devouring Demon chuckled inwardly, thinking that Old Demon Qin was indeed smart, much more useful than Zhang Nan.

“Independent Practitioner Jianjia, we are leaving, keep close to me!”

Old Monster Jinxia, with one hand behind his back, dashed forward as well.

Ning Daoran silently circulated the Evergreen Technique, clutching a Second-Order High-Grade Divine Speed Talisman in the palm hidden within his sleeve, and hurried after.

Atop the Flowing Ice River, the currents were turbulent.

The ice floes continuously rose and fell, tumbled, completely erratic.

As Ning Daoran flew past, his Divine Sense scanned the waters, suddenly detecting a thick surge of demon qi coming towards him.

“Young friend, no need to worry!”

Old Monster Jinxia saw it and abruptly swung his left hand; suddenly, huge green Spirit Scrolls extended in the air, creating a path infused with True Intent right beneath their feet.

Below, the waves surged!

A huge dark shadow struck fiercely against the Eight Diagrams Green Scroll spread over the water.

“Bang!”

Water columns rose tens of yards into the air, faintly revealing a sight of fierce, sharp teeth biting into the Eight Diagrams Green Scroll.

Accompanied by the grating screech of teeth, the Eight Diagrams Green Scroll remained immovable, truly worthy of being a Third-tier Top-grade Magical Treasure!

Ning Daoran hurriedly hastened his pace, the Green Scroll Spirit Records beneath his feet continuing to unfold and extend forward, ingeniously boundless.

In less than ten breaths’ time, Ning Daoran and Old Monster Jinxia had safely crossed the Flowing Ice River, although the Eight Diagrams Green Scroll had sustained some damage to its spiritual energy from numerous impacts by the river’s demon beasts.

Among the swirling mists.

Lay Practitioner Bai Ming conjured a small and exquisite cauldron that continuously circulated around him, transforming into a meteor, also safely escorting him across the Flowing Ice River.

Following him, Master Du Ye summoned the Thunderfire Dual Swords, the sword light spinning parallel around him, streams of Sword Aura extending into the water, likewise successfully making the crossing.

On the other side, only a young man and woman remained.

“Fellow apprentice, watch out for the demon beasts. You go ahead first; I’ll support you from the side.”

“Senior brother, also take extra care.”

“Don’t worry!”

Immortal Ning Yu raised her hand and pointed. A deep blue flying sword immediately flew out of her body, encircling her like a delicate, miniature dragon.

She leaped and stepping on floating ice, ran toward the opposite shore.

Tan Shangyu likewise summoned a flying sword and followed her.

“Ning Yu, Shangyu, be careful!”

On the opposite shore, Master Du Ye unleashed his Thunderfire Dual Swords. Sword light flew scores of yards, and he said, “I can only assist you from this distance, the rest of the way is up to you.”

The words were still hanging in the air when—

“Poof—”

A massive wave surged skyward.

From the water emerged a colossal creature with an immensely large head and flailing tentacles—an octopus demon beast, exuding Third-tier Middle-level demon qi.

The cultivation of a Third-tier Middle-level demon beast was not much inferior to that of a Late Stage Human Clan Golden Core.

“Roar~~~”

With a roar, several tentacles like swords stabbed towards Immortal Ning Yu on the water’s surface.

“This is bad!”

Immortal Ning Yu was greatly alarmed and hastily brandished her flying sword to chop at them, but to no avail against the Tier-three demon’s hide. Her flying sword rebounded off the giant octopus’s skin, which was as formidable as a fortress!

“Sister apprentice, be careful!”

Tan Shangyu was horrified, hurriedly leaping into the air while sweeping his hand along his waist.

“Empower!”

Instantly, a soft sword wrapped around his waist shot out, transforming into a ribbon dozens of yards long that swiftly entangled most of the octopus demon beast’s tentacles.

“Roar~~”

The demon beast roared angrily as the remaining tentacles lashed out from all directions!

Tan Shangyu quickly produced a circular shield to protect himself, but in the blink of an eye, two tentacles coiled around the shield, immobilizing him.

“Sister apprentice, quickly use your Green Rainbow Sword to sever the demon beast’s tentacles!”

However, as he turned around, he saw a resolute look in Ning Yu’s eyes.

“Senior brother, it’s hard for both of us to escape.”

After transmitting her message, Immortal Ning Yu suddenly activated a Second-Order Divine Speed Talisman and backed away at an incredible speed, stepping on ice chunks as she quickly headed towards the light of the Thunderfire Dual Swords.

“Sister apprentice~~~”

Behind her, Tan Shangyu’s voice was filled with despair.

Then, amidst the giant waves, the octopus demon beast leaped up, and its enormous body fell directly onto Tan Shangyu, dragging him to the bottom of the water.

The outcome was foreseeable; a Late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator was no match for a Third-tier Water Attribute demon beast in the water.

Guided by the Thunderfire Dual Swords, Immortal Ning Yu floated to the shore, her face deathly pale.

“Ning Yu, you did the right thing.”

Master Du Ye’s eyes flickered as he softly said, “That Third-tier Middle-level demon beast had intense demon qi. If you hadn’t left, you might’ve ended up like Shangyu. It’s unfair to Shangyu, but at least you are alive this moment.”

“Master Uncle, I’m sorry…”

Ning Yu felt a deep sense of guilt.

From the side, Soul-devouring Demon coldly spoke, “There’s no need to dwell on it; entering the secret realm naturally involves life and death. Once past the Flowing Ice River, we’ll be at the Outer Hall of the Feixing Secret Realm.

The Outer Hall contains many treasures but is also fraught with heavy prohibitions, and even entering is no small feat. Let’s go; the opportunity is right before us, why linger in regret?”

Instantly, everyone’s eyes brightened.

…

After walking for the duration it takes to drink a cup of tea, a massive ancient hall appeared amid the dark heavens and earth ahead, embedded in a black mountain range, with only its gates exposed.

Outside the gates, strands of strong prohibitions emitted radiant light.

“Jianjia, it’s time for you to demonstrate your skills.”

Soul-devouring Demon turned to Ning Daoran and said, “The prohibitions guarding the Outer Hall are powerful, and only tactful force can breach them. The last time I came to the Feixing Secret Realm, I couldn’t break the prohibition even after half a month, ultimately leaving empty-handed.”

“Friend.”

Master Du Ye spoke calmly, “Are you confident in breaking this prohibition?”

“I need to take a look first.”

Ning Daoran stepped forward and said, “Please wait, everyone; I need to understand the structure of the prohibition and the fluctuation of its mana before I can determine a method to break it.”

“Alright.”

Old Monster Jinxia nodded, “You know more about arrays than us, just don’t take too long.”

…

Ning Daoran sat before the prohibition, spreading his Divine Sense to carefully observe.

About the time it took to drink a cup of tea, he had an idea: he could set up a First-tier High Grade Undying Pear Blossom Array. By using the Wood Attribute array fluctuations of the Undying Pear Blossom Array to counter the prohibition, it would be broken.

As for the Undying Pear Blossom Array, a mere First-tier array, its legacy was long bought in Qingfu Square and fully learned, even possessing a successfully refined Undying Pear Blossom Array in his Storage Bag.

“Friend, do you have a way to break it?”

Soul-devouring Demon asked.

“Elder, please wait a moment; I am about to break the array now.”

“Good!”

Everyone’s eyes were bright.

Ning Daoran lightly tapped his Storage Bag. Instantly, three Array Flags and an Array Plate flew out. He rapidly cast spells to set up the Undying Pear Blossom Array around the outer edge of the prohibition.

“Buzz—”

A thread of light pattern rose, and immediately a crystal-clear pear tree soared within the array. In the blink of an eye, the array was fully set up.

Ning Daoran muttered as he raised his hand and pointed, drawing forth the array power of the Undying Pear Blossom Array to extend forward and begin to slowly undo the prohibition of the Outer Hall.

Standing lean and solitary before the prohibition, his robe fluttered gently with the breeze.

“…”

Watching Ning Daoran’s back, Immortal Ning Yu’s beautiful eyes suddenly became a bit lost.
