Cultivation Starting from Full Talent-Chapter 382 - 380 Undermining the Foundation

The consumption of one hundred thousand Spirit Stones every day, if used on the disciples within the Sect, could possibly raise several additional Golden Core cultivators.

“Fellow Daoist Qi Xing need not worry.”

Lin Tiannan took a deep breath and said: “All friends from Liangyi Sect have come from afar to aid Kunpeng Immortal City. I, Lin, am deeply grateful. The Spirit Stones consumed by the Beidou Seven Stars Formation will be fully borne by Kunpeng Immortal City; this is the cost we should bear.”

“In that case, thank you Fellow Daoist Lin!” True Monarch Qi Xing felt like a load was lifted.

“???”

Beside them, Chen Liang looked at Lin Tiannan with a strange expression, secretly complaining in his heart, the City Lord doesn’t know the cost of household expenses; do you really not know that after this battle, the reserves of Mid-grade Spirit Stones in Kunpeng Immortal City will also be nearly depleted? The daily consumption of one thousand Mid-grade Spirit Stones, even if Kunpeng Immortal City takes it on, is quite a strain!

Ning Daoran did not speak but released his Divine Sense to probe the movements of the Black Tide in the distance.

Soon, he noticed that after the Black Tide completely surrounded Kunpeng Immortal City, it seemed to have stretched its lines too long, leading to a significant reduction in the number of Red Demons near the source of the Black Tide, creating a vulnerability there.

Truth be told, now was a great opportunity to “strike the rear!”

At this moment, those exploring the situation of the Black Tide were naturally not only him; Lin Tiannan and True Monarch Qi Xing, both at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, also spread their Divine Senses, thoroughly investigating the movements of the Black Tide.

“Young Friend Ning.”

Lin Tiannan suddenly moved his lips slightly, transmitting his voice: “Fellow Daoist Qi Xing and I plan to leave the Immortal City to investigate the source of the Black Tide. If there is a chance, we would delve into the source of the Black Tide to see what’s really going on. Would you like to join us?”

…

Ning Daoran frowned. Although he admired the combat power of the Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators, when it came to dealing with the Black Tide and Red Demons, these Nascent Soul level cultivators might not necessarily be superior to himself.

Especially since he had once ventured deep into a source of the Black Tide in the Wuwan Sea and knew the detailed situation. If Lin Tiannan and True Monarch Qi Xing were to be trapped in the deep abyss of the Black Tide, their chances of breaking out were not too great.

And these two Nascent Souls, one a great power guarding the borders of Xia Country’s Cultivation World and the other the Deputy Sect Master of Liangyi Sect, one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects, were both highly esteemed and respected seniors; it would be quite a pity to lose any of them.

“I can.”

He immediately agreed, saying: “May I ask when the two seniors plan to go? I, Ning, am willing to advance and retreat together with you both!”

“Excellent!”

Lin Tiannan and True Monarch Qi Xing both gave approving looks, and then True Monarch Qi Xing said: “Tonight at midnight, the three of us will quietly leave from the dome of the Beidou Seven Stars Formation, how does that sound?”

“Good!”

Ning Daoran nodded.

…

In the dead of night.

Ning Daoran stepped out of the cave mansion assigned to him at Southern Heaven Palace, taking advantage of Lin Xuyan’s cultivation time to suppress his breath and rise into the air. When he reached the dome, he saw two streaks of blood-red tunneling light flashing by; the two Nascent Soul cultivators had already left first.

“Young Friend Ning, follow up!”

Lin Tiannan rode a beam of sword light, heading straight south.

Ning Daoran twisted his form and also burst out of the gap in the large formation opened by True Monarch Qi Xing, heading south with the two Nascent Souls.

“Gah~~~”

Not far away, silhouettes rose into the air from the ground, all of them were those Red Demons besieging Kunpeng Immortal City.

“Quick battle, quick decision, don’t let them hold us back!”

Lin Tiannan shouted, pushing his palm forward. Suddenly, thunderous brilliance radiated, and the Golden Phoenix Sword broke through the air, instantly killing dozens of Red Demons and opening a gap ahead.

“Go!”

Three people dashed out together.

Soon, a large number of Red Demons surged to attack them. The aura of True Monarch Qi Xing sank briefly before he raised a hand, and instantly, a Perfect Level Liangyi Sword Technique surged, combined with the aura of a Nascent Soul Middle Stage, transforming instantly into dozens of intersecting sword qi, directly shredding dozens of Red Demons into ashes.

“Young Friend Ning, prepare to make your move!”

Both Nascent Soul cultivators needed to recuperate to preserve the mana within their bodies, knowing Ning Daoran’s capability in fighting the Red Demons, Lin Tiannan let him take action directly.

Ahead, a dense mass of Red Demons rose.

Instantly, Ning Daoran increased his tunneling speed and charged to the front of the two Nascent Soul cultivators, raising one hand forward, and immediately his body sparkled with thunder light, with Liangyi Sword Intent surging through, a bright sword light burst forth from his fingertips, “swoosh” transforming into a straight line piercing through the crowd of several hundred Red Demons; the next second, numerous bolts of thunder burst along this line, turning a large area of Red Demons into ashes!

“!!!”

Both Great Nascent Soul cultivators were greatly shaken.

What kind of Golden Core combat power was this, being able to instantly kill at least two hundred Red Demons, something even those two Nascent Souls could not accomplish.

However, it was at this moment, Ning Daoran’s mana aura instantly dropped a level!

“A Fourth-tier Spiritual Treasure?” True Monarch Qi Xing asked through a transmission.

“Indeed.”

Ning Daoran said, “This was an occasional find during one of my explorations in a secret realm. This treasure, coupled with the Five Thunder Skill, is extremely effective in slaughtering Red Demons, but unfortunately, it consumes a tremendous amount of mana and can only be used occasionally.”

“Young friend, no need to be overly modest, it’s already exceedingly impressive!”

After the strike of the Thunder Sword, a total vacuum zone was created in front, the trio’s tunneling light accelerated, and in the blink of an eye, they burst out, flying tens of miles southward before Red Demons disappeared from behind them.

…

Lin Tiannan waved a hand, and immediately his Nascent Soul aura converged into invisibility, at the same time, a certain secret technique was activated, and his figure gradually vanished into the void.

True Monarch Qi Xing, sensing this, chanted a mantra and his aura also disappeared in an instant, his body gradually becoming transparent, merging into everything around.

The hiding methods of both Nascent Soul cultivators were top-notch!

Ning Daoran silently praised, without saying much, swiftly operated the Unmoving Ming King Divine Technique, Great Void Expansion Technique, and Great Absorption Skill, instantly disappearing into the air as well.

For a moment, Lin Tiannan marveled, noting that the control over aura and concealment by Nascent Soul cultivators is beyond what Golden Cores can compare to, and yet Ning Daoran managed to disappear so silently in front of two Nascent Souls, his concealment technique must already be at the peak of the Golden Core Stage.

True Monarch Qi Xing’s eyes sparkled, full of admiration for Ning Daoran. This youngster’s caution and cultivation level were very similar to his own in his younger days. If that boy Lin Xuyan had this kind of cautious mind and techniques, he wouldn’t have caused so much trouble outside!

Soon after, the three of them tunneled into a deeply wooded area.

From afar, the aura of the Black Tide surged, and as the three released their Divine Sense, they saw clearly that the source of the Black Tide was divided into left, middle, and right, among which the aura was weaker on the left and right sides, while the middle source had particularly vigorous Demonic Qi. Even when Ning Daoran probed deeper with his Golden Core Divine Sense, it rebounded back.

His Divine Sense seemed to have hit a layer of blood-colored cocoon, absolutely unable to penetrate.

…

“These three sources…”

Lin Tiannan’s eyebrows were tightly knotted as he transmitted to the two: “I, Lin, will deal with the middle source. Fellow Taoist Qi Xing, go and explore the left source. Young Friend Ning, explore the right source. How do you both feel?”

Before True Monarch Qi Xing could speak, Ning Daoran spoke, “Senior Lin, the source of the Black Tide is extremely deep, and the Red Demons within are numerous; if we forcefully probe, even a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator might fall within. I do have a suggestion…”

“Oh?”

Lin Tiannan’s eyes brightened: “Please speak.”

Ning Daoran slapped his Storage Bag, pulling out several Class B Paperfolk, and said, “I have cultivated a secret technique called the Paper Substitute. These paperfolk possess some of my techniques, perhaps… letting these paperfolk serve as cannon fodder and explore first might be appropriate?”

“Paperfolk?”

True Monarch Qi Xing squinted his eyes, suddenly recalling something and laughed: “Haha, I understand now, fellow friend before obtaining the Liangyi Sword Technique, you must have cultivated the Jianjia Sword Technique, right?”

“Cough cough…”

“Young friend’s battle in the Mirror Flower Water Moon Secret Realm indeed greatly preserved the face of Xia Country’s Cultivation World, I deeply admire that!”

Ning Daoran presented the paperfolk without intending to hide the secret, and said laughingly: “As a junior with low cultivation, I am easily targeted for attacks, hence I do not wish to make too many enemies, I hope the two seniors can keep this secret for me.”

“Rest assured, Young Friend Ning!”

Lin Tiannan, also a straightforward person, transmitted: “Young Friend Ning has not only slain Red Demons for the Cultivation World but also killed so many enemy cultivators for our Xia Country. From now on, anyone who is an enemy of Fellow Jianjia or Fellow Ning is an enemy of Kunpeng Immortal City and Liangyi Sect. Lin means these words, and Young Friend should understand.”

“In that case, this junior thanks you deeply!”

The next moment, Ning Daoran released a large number of paperfolk, with dozens of Class A Paperfolk unreservedly released, and during this period of closed-door cultivation, he synthesized a great number of paperfolk, releasing over six hundred Class B Paperfolk at once, instantly numerous paperfolk wrapped in Golden Core aura charged into the three sources!

Among them, the Class A Paperfolk could mobilize extremely dense Chaotic Powers, while the Class B Paperfolk inherited fewer of the master’s powers and could only use a little of the Chaotic Powers, but still had high chances of winning in a one-on-one fight with the Red Demons.

…

“Gah~~~”

In an instant, all three sources of the Black Tide were thrown into chaos.
