Cultivation Starting from Full Talent-Chapter 394 - 392: Extremely Missing

The Hui Dragon trembled all over, its Dragon Energy skyrocketing as it suddenly spat out a mouthful of essence blood. That essence blood turned into a mist, hovering over the charred black eyeball, quickly seeping into its body, trying to extinguish the spreading Wood Poison Fire.

“Now!”

How could Lin Tiannan miss such a godsend opportunity? As a blood-colored Flying Shuttle harshly smashed onto the head of the Hui Dragon, the Golden Phoenix Sword swept across, leaving a half-meter deep wound on the Hui Dragon’s neck, shattering dragon scales and splashing dragon blood everywhere.

“Go!”

True Monarch Qi Xing, while attacking the Hui Dragon with several Flying Swords, lightly flicked his fingertips, instantly sending a strand of golden rope flying from his hand, fastening onto the red embroidery ball within the Hui Dragon’s nostril—this was none other than True Monarch Qi Xing’s Lifebound Spiritual Treasure, the legendary Gold-breaking Rope!

“Roar—”

The Hui Dragon let out a ground-shaking roar, Dragon Flames surging wildly, a turbid breath repelling Lin Tiannan back while its claws gripped tightly onto the Gold-breaking Rope of True Monarch Qi Xing.

But it was then that True Monarch Liu Yun formed a Killing Array; a surge of blood-colored waves rose and heavily crashed into the huge skull of the Hui Dragon.

At the same time, the Dragon Flames surged in all directions, causing different degrees of injuries to the three Nascent Souls.

“…”

Ning Daoran watched from a distance, utterly dumbfounded by the brutal blood battle. Being only at the mid-stage of Golden Core, he had no place on this battlefield; a slight carelessness could lead to obliteration by the aura of Nascent Souls!

“My Gold-breaking Rope!”

True Monarch Qi Xing, seeing everything clearly, noticed that the Hui Dragon, already grievously injured, was contracting its respiratory pore as if to retract something into its body—along with the Gold-breaking Rope!

“Buzz—”

In the wind, Lin Tiannan’s body surged with immense sword intent. The Golden Phoenix Sword in his hand transformed into a gigantic golden blade hundreds of feet long, slashing through the air and fiercely striking on the spine of the Hui Dragon, adding injuries to its wounds.

“Ooh…”

The Fourth-Order Early Stage Dark Turtle let out a long cry, opening its mouth to spout a large gush of Gui Water Essence Qi onto the tail of the Hui Dragon.

True Monarch Qi Xing seized the moment to land, spitting a mouthful of essence blood onto the Gold-breaking Rope: “Return to me!”

The Gold-breaking Rope shivered intensely, struggling under the dragon’s claw clasp, making a fizzing noise, and soon it snapped in the middle. The tail part was seized by the Hui Dragon, but the head part wrapped around the red embroidery ball flew back to True Monarch Qi Xing’s hand.

“All of what you have done today, I have duly noted!”

In the air, countless streams of Chaos Qi swirled as the Hui Dragon twisted its massive body and fled, its vast Dragon Flames crushing in all directions, preventing Lin Tiannan and others from approaching.

At this point, all three Nascent Souls were injured and could no longer continue the pursuit.

The Hui Dragon itself was riddled with wounds, having taken an arrow from Ning Daoran, losing an eye, and even inside its skull raging Wood Poison Fire continued to burn. Tail almost severed by Lin Tiannan’s Golden Phoenix Sword, its condition was even more critical, close to falling to the threshold of a Fourth-Order Early Stage.

“Do not chase a desperate enemy…”

Lin Tiannan, holding the Golden Phoenix Sword, faced drenched in sweat and blood, said: “This demon dragon might still have tricks up its sleeve. All three of us are injured; pursuing further might very well lead to fatalities.”

“Indeed.”

True Monarch Qi Xing nodded, fully agreeing.

True Monarch Liu Yun’s chest heaved; after a fierce battle, her injuries were the lightest, only suffering burns on her arms from the Dragon Flames, but her mana was the most depleted, having nearly exhausted all her internal mana from activating Arrays and Magical Treasures intensively.

“Let it flee for its life.”

True Monarch Liu Yun pursed her red lips: “This demon dragon is severely injured; it won’t recover for decades, and by then, our Human Clan’s Immortal Cultivation World will naturally have someone capable of subduing it.”

“Well said!”

Lin Tiannan said: “Young Friend Ning, the goods are secured.”

“Yes, secured!”

Ning Daoran floated out from a cloud and gently tapped his Storage Bag. He lifted two fist-sized True Dragon Essences and sent them towards Lin Tiannan, saying, “Senior Lin, are these two pieces of True Dragon Essence sufficient?”

“Enough.”

Lin Tiannan said, “Now that the True Dragon Essences are at hand, there’s no time to delay. Shall we return immediately to Kunpeng Immortal City and start forging a divine weapon that can counter the Blood Demon?”

“Good.”

True Monarch Qi Xing nodded.

True Monarch Liu Yun then waved his hand lightly, summoning a treasure boat from mid-air, taking several people back to Kunpeng Immortal City.

…

In the cabin, True Monarch Liu Yun brewed a pot of richly fragrant Spiritual Tea.

Ning Daoran sat cross-legged, still with a lingering fear. At the bottom of the abyss, he almost thought he would be buried there forever, never having a chance to come out again.

“Senior Liu Yun, your Array Flag.”

He raised his hand to throw the Array Flag out, returning the treasure.

True Monarch Liu Yun smiled as she collected it. By this time, she had grown very fond of Ning Daoran, a middle-stage Golden Core junior. Not only was he intelligent and diligent, but he also possessed extraordinary abilities, making such a junior loved by anyone.

Ning Daoran apologized, “City Lord Lin, I used up the three Fourth-Order Green Vine Talismans while escaping the pursuit of the Hui Dragon, and cannot return them to senior, I hope for your understanding.”

“This small matter is not worth mentioning.”

Lin Tiannan said, “Young Friend Ning ventured into dangerous realms to obtain the True Dragon Essence for forging divine weapons; you essentially did it for our Kunpeng Immortal City. Lin owes you a great favor, and as for a few mere talismans, they really are trivial.”

“Fellow Daoist Lin speaks highly indeed.”

True Monarch Qi Xing laughed, “My apprentice nephew entered the Hidden Dragon Sky Pool by himself to obtain the True Dragon Essence, indeed doing a great deed for the Eastern Wilderness Cultivation World. Not just for Kunpeng Immortal City, in fact, the entire Cultivation World owes him.”

“Master Uncle.”

Ning Daoran returned the Yimu Divine Ruler, smiling, “I have erased the markings inside the Divine Ruler; Master Uncle can refine it again.”

“Alright.”

True Monarch Qi Xing coughed, saying, “The Yimu Divine Ruler is a treasure of the Liangyi Sect. If not for this, I would have gifted it to you. I hope Nephew Ning does not find your uncle too miserly.”

“How could I?”

Ning Daoran asked, “Uncle, has the Embroidery Ball already been obtained?”

“Indeed!”

True Monarch Qi Xing took out half a piece of Gold-breaking Rope, tightly tied to the Embroidery Ball Cave Heaven, feeling sentimental, “For this Embroidery Ball, I even damaged one of my Fourth-tier Spiritual Treasures, but the person inside must be extremely important to Nephew Ning, otherwise, you wouldn’t have gone through such great lengths.”

While speaking, he swept his Nascent Soul Divine Sense over it and suddenly understood, chuckled, “Ah, so it is, such a beautiful woman…”

“Oh? Really?”

Lin Tiannan and True Monarch Liu Yun became curious, each deploying their Nascent Soul Divine Sense to scan the Embroidery Ball Cave Heaven.

Embarrassed, Ning Daoran quickly wrapped up the Embroidery Ball with his mana, stuffing it into his chest, saying, “Seniors, please don’t mock this junior. The lady inside the Embroidery Ball is likely an old acquaintance of mine. We met in Immortal White Dragon City many years ago, had some interactions, and it’s been nearly a hundred years since we’ve separated. I do not know why she is imprisoned within this Embroidery Ball, thus I was determined to obtain it.”

“Young Friend Ning, no need to explain!”

Lin Tiannan said with meaningful laughter, “I, too, was young once…”

True Monarch Qi Xing also showed a nostalgic expression. When he was young, he too encountered many heart-stirring fairies.

True Monarch Liu Yun crossed her arms and laughed, “Indeed, the appearance of this lady is moving. Even I, who has been practicing for many years, can’t help but be moved by her beauty, let alone a young cultivator like Young Friend Ning, full of vigor.”

Ning Daoran blushed, not knowing what to say.

Meanwhile, inside the Embroidery Ball Cave Heaven, Lin Man could only emit a faint aura, unable to speak with the outside world. As for the Embroidery Ball itself, it was layered with numerous Ancient Restrictions by the Hui Dragon, not easily resolvable without some time.

…

In Kunpeng Immortal City.

Lin Tiannan, True Monarch Qi Xing, and True Monarch Liu Yun, the three Nascent Souls, started the affair of forging divine weapons. Reportedly, several world-renowned Divine Craftsmen were invited to collaborate on the forging. Although Ning Daoran’s Spirit Garden Cave Heaven had Holy Hand Big Stupid Deer who was a skilled craftsman, he wisely did not interfere in matters of the Nascent Soul, being merely a Golden Core himself.

At the top level of the Southern Heaven Palace, within a Fifth-Order Spirit Cave Mansion, Ning Daoran started resolving the restrictions of the Embroidery Ball Cave Heaven.

Within a month, he had dissolved more than ten layers of outer prohibition. Although there were still many prohibitions remaining, the surface isolation ones had loosened significantly. Just as Ning Daoran released his Divine Sense to sense the condition inside the Cave Heaven through the cracks in the prohibitions, he saw a dim figure, dressed in a Flowing Cloud Plain Skirt, with a shawl around her shoulders, and beautiful short hair.

“Ah…”

He couldn’t help but sigh softly. Even the greater Nascent Souls could see inside Lin Man through the restrictions, and he, even after dissolving so many restrictions, still could not see clearly. Surely, the difference between their realms was not something that talent could easily overcome.

A few more months passed, and he dissolved dozens more restrictions.

“Buzz~~~”

The Embroidery Ball Cave Heaven suddenly trembled, and a very familiar female voice came through, “Fellow Daoist Ning, long time no see, have you missed Lin Man greatly?”
