Chapter 317 -315 Demon Birds
Ning Daoran felt on the verge of a mental breakdown.
The Great Elder has misled me!
Previously, while cultivating the True Yang Furnace Technique, he heard that he must maintain the Primordial Yang Body, and since the True Yang Furnace Technique is one of Ning Daoran’s ultimate skills, that’s why he never entertained the thought of seeking a Daoist couple for so many years.
But now…
The Fierce Sun Dao Palace actually has no such requirement!
For a moment, Ning Daoran was overwhelmed with regret.
The Great Elder has misled me! If there wasn’t such a requirement, perhaps I would have already… with the Young Junior Sister… as well as Chen Ping’er, and Lin Man and so on… perhaps I could have had a bunch of children by now, and my cultivation life would have been way more exciting!
“So that’s how it is, I understand, thank you, Brother Lu, for the reminder.”
“Alright.”
Brother Lu nodded: “Since that’s the case, I’ll be taking my leave. Junior Brother, you can settle down here. If you need anything, you can go down the mountain to buy it yourself, or you can talk to the servant disciples on the peak top, and someone will naturally help you obtain what you need.”
This Brother Lu was a kind-hearted man, he said a few more words and then left.
…
Thus, Ning Daoran changed into an attire of Heavenly Mechanism Peak’s protector, and began a new life at Heavenly Mechanism Peak.
In the evening, as the sun set in the west,
Ning Daoran straightened his robe and took to flight with the aura of an Early-stage Foundation Establishment, beginning to patrol the mountain.
First, he went to the peak. He saw that there was no large cave mansion or the like, but rather an ancient and simplistic quadrangle courtyard, where the concentration of Spiritual Energy was extremely high, reaching the level of Fourth-tier Middle Grade.
This must surely be the residence of the Vice Palace Master, Feng Yinghai.
As he was slightly zoning out, a figure rose from the courtyard, a man dressed in the attire of a True Disciple, incredibly handsome, exuding the immense aura of a Golden Core Early Stage.
“Are you the new protector?” the man asked with a smile.
“That’s me!”
Ning Daoran immediately saluted: “I am Ning Cheng.”
“I’m the principal disciple of Heavenly Mechanism Peak, Xu Baisheng. My master is the Vice Palace Master Feng Yinghai. You can just call me Senior Brother Xu.”
“Greetings, Senior Brother Xu!”
“Hmm.”
Xu Baisheng nodded with a smile: “Xu is here just to greet Junior Brother Ning and get to know you. Continue with your duties, Senior Brother is going back to cultivate now.”
“Alright, I bid farewell to Senior Brother Xu!”
Ning Daoran took another glance at the quadrangle enshrouded in mist and ascended, circling the peak top once, and then descended altitude layer by layer to carry out his guarding duty.
Soon after, he saw the other seven protectors, all Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators; the strongest among them was Brother Lu, who had a Mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation. The rest were at the Early Stage.
After patrolling, everyone greeted each other and then returned to their own cave mansions to cultivate.
The real Defense of Heavenly Mechanism Peak relied on the grand formation beneath the peak and the Nascent Soul combat power of the Peak Master Feng Yinghai. As for the protectors of Heavenly Mechanism Peak, at best they were there to deal with minor threats. Should a slightly stronger Demon Beast attack, it still required the intervention of experts like Feng Yinghai and Xu Baisheng to resolve the situation.
…
Quickly, Ning Daoran grew accustomed to life at Heavenly Mechanism Peak.
Every day, he would enjoy the outside scenery from the hall, watch the clouds roll and unfold, eat meat and drink with Big Stupid Deer in the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven, and live a very fulfilling life. With time passing by, the foundation of the Dragon Demon Heart Scripture grew increasingly profound, and his Body Refining had reached a level of Great Success. He was not far from reaching the pinnacle of Body Refining in the Eastern Wasteland Cultivation World.
Until four months later, Ning Daoran’s peaceful life was finally broken.
In the middle of the night, as he was meditating in the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven, his heart suddenly started thumping wildly. An aura of Demon birds came from outside, and the moment Ning Daoran burst out from the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven, the golden bell hanging in front of the hall started to ring “ding ding ding,” and at the same time, Brother Lu’s voice came from the sky: “A Demon bird attacked stealthily, all Junior Brothers come to assist quickly!”
Ning Daoran immediately rose into the sky with an aura slightly stronger than that of an Early-stage Foundation Establishment, holding a Top-grade Spiritual Artifact Level Magic Sword. He saw several figures in the air fighting against a huge Demon bird!
That Demon bird was a multi-colored hawk, its body shimmering with jewel-like feathers, its talons shining with cold light, and blood was already visible on them—it had injured a Foundation Establishment Stage Senior Brother, staining his arm with blood.
“Junior Brother Ning, help!”
Brother Lu shouted loudly.
“I’m here!”
Ning Daoran soared up and slashed with his sword, using the strength of a Foundation Establishment cultivator and unleashing the foundation of the Nine Yang Furnace Divine Technique’s Small Accomplishment Stage. In an instant, sword light sliced through the wind and left a bloody mark on the wing of the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Demon bird.
“Screech~~~”
The Demon bird became ferociously agitated, turning to attack Ning Daoran. It spewed out a scorching Evil Qi from its mouth, almost making Ning Daoran’s eyes sting so badly he could hardly keep them open. Whatever this creature had been eating, it reeked terribly!
“Be careful!”
The other Senior Brothers attacked together, and Brother Lu reminded them: “Two Junior Brothers have already fallen prey to this vile creature, be careful everyone, this monster has a Mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation and is extremely fierce!”
Ning Daoran quickly retreated, meanwhile frowning. Using his hidden strength… he definitely couldn’t kill this Demon bird. Should he reveal a bit of his true power?
Revealing the foundation of the Evergreen Technique’s Fifth Layer shouldn’t be a big problem, even if Feng Yinghai discovered it, it wouldn’t matter much.
“Shua!”
With a swing of Ning Daoran’s magic sword, a continuous stretch of the cyan power of the Evergreen Technique emerged, transforming into a ring of grass that tightly locked the opened beak of the Demon Bird. Immediately following was another sword slash, which cut open the abdomen of the Demon Bird, causing fresh blood to pour out!
“Beautiful!”
Brother Lu was overjoyed, having not expected Ning Daoran to have such a skill. With a vigorous push of his magic sword, he struck the behind of the Demon Bird, sending feathers flying chaotically.
“Chiu Chiu~~~”
The ferocity of the Demon Bird erupted, suddenly flapping its wings and charging towards one of the weaker cultivators. This monstrous beast understood the principle of picking on the softer targets. It spread its claws, one of which instantly grasped the cultivator’s arm, and the other claw pierced into the cultivator’s abdomen, causing intestines to spill out.
That brother is done for…
Ning Daoran’s gaze turned chillingly cold, as he promptly urged the Evergreen Technique to the Sixth Layer. With the release of a sword strike, he materialized a vine several meters long that craftily snaked into the gaps between the wings from behind, instantly tightening and binding the Demon Bird’s wings together.
“Now’s the time!”
Brother Lu roared, swinging his sword wildly.
The other brothers were rescuing the injured while also casting magic artifacts and spiritual artifacts to attack and kill the enemy.
Ning Daoran, however, took out several magic-weapon-grade flying needles, throwing them with extremely mysterious techniques, instantly blinding the Second Rank Middle Stage Demon Bird in both eyes. With that, despite its powerful physical strength, the end of the Demon Bird was imminent.
Eventually, Brother Lu, exerting all his strength, decapitated the severely injured Demon Bird and promptly returned to the peak with the injured and the corpse of the beast.
…
At night, the area in front of the quadrangle was brightly lit.
Xu Baisheng and two other late-stage Foundation Establishment young disciples walked out of the quadrangle, and Brother Lu immediately said, “Senior Brother Xu, this monster attacked the peak at night, and we were able to stop it, but unfortunately, Senior Brother Wang and two others were unfortunate in battle…”
“This is a Second Rank Middle Stage Demon Bird…”
Xu Baisheng frowned, “Brother Lu, you have worked hard… I will report this matter to the master. You all go back. If there are more demon beasts coming in the next few days, you don’t need to resist. Let them come here, and I will take care of them.”
“Alright.”
Brother Lu gazed deeply at the Demon Bird and the three protection technique disciples, before saying with a hint of dissatisfaction, “Junior Brother Ning and everyone, go back.”
Three protectors died, and there was not even a bit of explanation on the peak, which inevitably made the protectors feel unhappy.
Ning Daoran nodded, having no objections to the matter.
It was the two young late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators by Xu Baisheng’s side, one of whom cast a sharp glance at Ning Daoran, while the other nodded gently towards Ning Daoran and the others, but said nothing.
These people are unsurprisingly the disciples of Feng Yinghai, and they are True Disciples of the Fierce Sun Dao Palace, with extremely high talents and status.
After everyone left.
Xu Baisheng stepped into the quadrangle, crossing over a prohibition, and found Vice Palace Master Feng Yinghai sitting on a wicker chair, playing with a spherical treasure in his hands, “Have they gone back?”
“Yes.”
Xu Baisheng said, “Three protectors are dead, and the others are also injured. This time, the Demon Bird that came is a Second Rank Middle Stage. If it comes again next time, I’m afraid all these protectors will be dead.”
“Mhm.”
Feng Yinghai nodded, “Baisheng, you have also witnessed this Fight Technique with your Golden Core Divine Sense, what do you think of these protectors?”
“Not much.”
Xu Baisheng said, “Junior Brother Lu has the strongest cultivation and talent, but forgive my bluntness, he is too old and has no hope of reaching Core Formation. The others… are even less worth mentioning, their talents not even comparable to Brother Lu’s.”
“That protector named Ning Cheng…”
Feng Yinghai said, “His Evergreen Technique has already reached the Sixth Layer, with Wood and Fire Dual Spirit Roots. Although they are merely Mid-grade Spirit Roots, his character is solid, and he has also cultivated the Nine Yang Furnace Divine Technique to a Small Accomplishment. Indeed, he can be considered a talent. Call him to see me in a few days; I have a use for this protector.”
“Yes, Master!”
…
Several days later.
Xu Baisheng messaged Ning Daoran to go to the peak.
Deep into the night, with a bright moon and sparse stars.
When Ning Daoran arrived at the entrance of the quadrangle, Xu Baisheng was already waiting, smiling, “Junior Brother Ning, follow me. The master has been waiting for you. Make it quick.”
“Yes!”
Ning Daoran felt slightly uneasy in heart, worried if he had exposed any flaws.
That shouldn’t be possible, right? The Unmoving Ming King Divine Technique at the Returning to Nature Level, combined with the Soul Suppressing Book at the same level to disguise and converge the Divine Soul aura, even a Nascent Soul Old Monster couldn’t see through himself, could they?

Moreover, Feng Yinghai is only at the Nascent Soul Early Stage, he may not have that kind of profound foundation.
Stepping through the threshold, a lamp flickered gently in the darkness ahead. Xu Baisheng stood aside, and besides him, Feng Yinghai’s other two disciples, the two young late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, were also present.
“Ning Cheng.”
Feng Yinghai slowly stood up, “Come closer, let me see the foundation of your cultivation.”
