Chapter 405 -403: Ancient Transmission Formation
“Pfft!”
The Azure Dragon Spear swept across, and the Immortal True Monarch didn’t even have time to cry out for help before being cleaved in half at the waist.
“You…”
A Nascent Soul emerged from the top of the Immortal True Monarch’s head, extremely weak and frail.
After nursing it for five years, the Nascent Soul was still feeble and fragile, but it was unwilling to die just yet and, with a loud shout, the Nascent Soul tried to teleport again!
“Dong~~~”
Unfortunately, within the Ten Directions Forbidden Array, the Nascent Soul couldn’t teleport at all, crashing into an invisible wall of copper and iron.
“How could I die here!?”
The Immortal True Monarch roared furiously, continuously slamming into the unseen prohibitions of the Ten Directions Forbidden Array, and in a blink of an eye, his Nascent Soul was battered and bleeding, its presence growing even fainter.
“How pitiful.”
Ning Daoran smiled lightly and said: “I won’t hide it from you, fellow Daoist, Lin Man has already succeeded in her Nascent Soul, and she is now a Nascent Soul cultivator even stronger than you. When you were pursuing Lin Man, did you ever imagine ending up in such a state?”
“Ning Daoran, I won’t let you go even if I become a ghost!”
The Immortal True Monarch howled in rage.
“Too bad, fellow Daoist, you won’t have a chance to become a ghost.”
Ning Daoran patted his Storage Bag: “Little Qing, time to eat.”
“What!?”
The Immortal True Monarch was shocked.
In the next moment, a figure in green clothes soared into the sky, shrouding the entire world around, and beneath the strands of long green hair, an intimidating and horrific face appeared, eyeing the weak Nascent Soul with an appetite.
“You… you…”
The Immortal True Monarch trembled, never having dreamt that he, a Nascent Soul True Monarch, would end up as food for an evil spirit. In life, when had he ever taken these evil spirits seriously?
“Puchi!”
Little Qing opened her black maw and swallowed the Immortal True Monarch’s Nascent Soul in one gulp, then began to chew heartily, revealing a face of twisted pleasure.
“Master…”
Midway through her meal, Little Qing turned around to thank her master.
“Slap!”
A precise slap flew across, causing Little Qing to spin several times in place.
Ning Daoran stood with one hand behind his back, an image of Immortal Charm, and spoke indifferently: “Did I not tell you that such an expression is forbidden? Remember, you wretch, we are Righteous cultivators, not evil spirits; why can’t you change your nature?”
Within the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven, Little Bai commented disdainfully: “If it doesn’t eat excrement, can it still be called a dog?”
“Cough cough…”
Ning Daoran said: “Pay no mind to these details! Little Qing, you should learn from your sister, see how she has completely transformed herself. Why can’t you manage that?”
Little Qing kowtowed repeatedly, she then revealed a beautiful face, saying pitifully under the moonlight: “Little Qing understands. I will definitely correct my ways, I beg for another chance from Master.”
“Go back.”
“Yes!”
Little Qing twisted her slender waist, turning into a wisp of green smoke, entering back into the Green Ghost Flag within the Storage Bag.
Ning Daoran spat out an extremely high-temperature Nine Yang Extreme Flames, and immediately the Immortal True Monarch’s physical body was burned to ashes, followed by a Soul Searching Technique to ensure there were no oversights.
As expected, from seizing the body of a Late-stage Foundation Establishment Genius to infiltrating Yellow Dragon Valley, to achieving Core Formation within a year and becoming an inheriting disciple of Yellow Dragon Valley, obtaining the inheritance of a Golden Core Middle Stage ancestor, to finding the Transmission Formation, everything happened just as anticipated.
Later, Ning Daoran also soul searched the Immortal True Monarch’s past. Sure enough, he was a nefarious cultivator long ago, committing murder and arson, adhering to the principle ‘better to betray the world than let the world betray me.’ Later, after achieving Golden Core and Nascent Soul, he usurped the Spirit Vein of a First-class Sect in Sangyu Country of Qinzhou and became the local tyrant.
Coincidentally, when the Immortal True Monarch received information and was searching for the whereabouts of the Nine Nether Dragon Pearl, Lin Man was also seeking the same and was a step ahead. By the time the Immortal True Monarch began his pursuit, Lin Man had already left with the Nine Nether Dragon Pearl.
Looking at this, it seems that Lin Man didn’t actually cause any trouble concerning the Nine Nether Dragon Pearl, what a good girl…
Thereafter, Ning Daoran threw a Fireball to cremate the murdered Foundation Establishment Junior Brother, this handsome young man unaware that his Elder Brother was possessed by a Nascent Soul Old Monster, killed without ever understanding why.
A gust of wind blew, scattering the ashes.
…
“Old Lu, Little Bai, guard me!”
Ning Daoran called out Big Stupid Deer and Little Bai, and instantly, a woman and a deer guarded the perimeter, while Ning Daoran stepped into the cave to thoroughly examine the Ancient Transmission Formation.
One of the Transmission Pillars of the Transmission Formation was damaged, but by reforging a new Array Flag, it could be replaced. This Transmission Pillar wasn’t the main pillar, just one to sustain the Array Power.
Moreover, the Transmission Formation from the Ancient Era had already been lost in the Cultivation World, because a Transmission Formation is a Fifth-order Array, and there are no such Divine Array Masters capable of creating Fifth-order Arrays left in the Cultivation World nowadays.
Considering True Monarch Liu Yun, she is one of the top Array Masters in the Cultivation World, yet she is only a Fourth-order Mid Grade Array Master. The knowledge of Array Dao has been lost too much over time.
After checking for a while, Ning Daoran confirmed the Transmission Formation could be repaired.
Regrettably, with his current abilities, he couldn’t reverse-engineer the intricacies of the Transmission Formation from the Array; the gap was too large, as a mere Fourth-order Lower Grade Array Master could not comprehend the Array Patterns and Spiritual Patterns of a Fifth-order Array.
For a moment, Ning Daoran was filled with regret.
From the day he started studying the Array Dao inheritance left by Granny Yun Cui, he held endless fascinations with teleportation arrays. Teleportation arrays are incredibly useful; they not only save travel time but also allow for the transfer of troops, materials, and more, potentially changing the tide of warfare in the Cultivation World.
In his previous life, Ning Daoran had played a game called WAR3: The Frozen Throne, where the human race’s starting hero, the Archmage, had a teleportation ability. It was an incredibly cool maneuver to instantly teleport surrounding friendly units to any point on the map, a truly awesome skill that could be used for base switching, deceiving the opponent’s teleportation scrolls, and so on.
“Sigh…”
He felt some regret, but he did not delay.
With a pat of his Storage Bag, he took out hundreds of blank Jade Talismans. He then scanned the entire ancient Transmission Formation with his Divine Sense, imprinting every detail of the array onto the Jade Scrolls, from the Spiritual patterns to the Array Patterns, and even to the crafting of the Array Flags and Array Plates—every detail systematically recorded!
Though his current self couldn’t understand the principles behind it, if he were to advance to a Fifth-order Array Master in the future… With his Array Dao Talent, he truly might become the first Great Formation Master to craft a Transmission Formation in thousands of years!
…
Before long, the entire ancient Transmission Formation was perfectly imprinted.
Ning Daoran took a deep breath, collected all the Jade Scrolls into his Storage Ring, and placed them in the most crucial spot. He suddenly smiled vaguely; this ancient Transmission Formation contained an enormous amount of information, and the capacity of the Jade Scrolls was limited—didn’t this feel like using floppy disks to copy exciting short films back in the 90s due to the underdeveloped storage technology?
“Sigh…”
He grinned, having practiced Cultivation for many years with a clear heart devoid of desire, it had been a long time since he watched those.
If he could travel back in time…
Hmph! First, he would review all the works of those renowned authors once again, as those were the essence of his youth!
“Cough cough…”
At his side, Little Bai asked softly, “Master, what are you thinking about that’s making you happy?”
“Nothing much.”
Ning Daoran immediately spoke with a serious tone, “Little Bai, do not ask about things you should not, lest you bring disaster upon yourself!”
“Yes, young master!”
Little Bai bowed respectfully, “Everything about Little Bai belongs to the young master, if the young master wishes Little Bai to die, I shall not beg for life!”
“Good, very enlightened!”
Ning Daoran approvingly patted her shoulder. If Little Bai, Big Stupid Deer, Little Blackie, and Green Water Turtle were to establish a party branch of the Ning Family Army, then Little Bai would undoubtedly be the first choice for branch secretary!
As for the ancient Transmission Formation before them.
Since the array couldn’t be moved, it was impossible to completely conceal it—the possibility of preventing others from finding it was non-existent.
Ning Daoran already had countless schematics in hand; the next time he came, he would bring a repaired formation, which could be directly completed for use, making it unnecessary to repair it now.
Besides, before he left, his fingers flew swiftly, his eyes gleaming with zeal as he used a large amount of materials to set up hundreds of prohibitions, tightly disguising the ancient Transmission Formation. Thus, even if someone were to remember the coordinates, it wouldn’t be easy to find it again.
With this matter concluded, he returned to Liuhua Island.
…
Liuhua Island.
After Ning Daoran returned, he began a closed-door Cultivation session—on one hand, he continued refining his power with the Evergreen Technique and Dragon Demon Heart Scripture, and on the other hand, he began to research the ancient Transmission Formation. Although he couldn’t expect to glean any great secrets from it in the short term, nor could it be the foundation for his breakthrough in the Array Dao, it was always good to expand his knowledge.

Slowly devouring it will surely yield something.
In this way, several months passed in a blink of an eye.
One night, a Cultivation World cultivator on the island came to pay respects, saying gravely, “Island Master, a Qi Refining Ninth Level cultivator has arrived from outside the island, claiming to be a descendant of Senior Sui’s cousin, named Sui Rufen, and demands to see the Island Master and Senior Sui.”
“Oh?”
Ning Daoran frowned slightly.
Next to him, Sui Zhuyue was also slightly stunned, “Really?”
“He did say so.”
“Young master…” Sui Zhuyue said, “I’ve corresponded with the descendants of the Lingzhu Mountain Sui Family in the past, and now that they have sent someone to the island, it must be an important matter.”
Ning Daoran stood up, “Send him to the parlor, Zhu Yue and I will go meet him.”
“Yes!”
Soon after, a young Qi Refining Ninth Level cultivator entered the parlor with an air of restraint; it seemed he had never seen such an imposing hall before. When he saw Ning Daoran and Sui Zhuyue, his eyes shone, and he knelt down immediately, “Junior Sui Rufen greets Island Master Ning and Aunt Zhu Yue!”
Ning Daoran squinted his eyes. He had talked with Sui Zhuyue before and knew that Sui Xuan had the status of a second son in his family. The Second Order Middle Grade Spirit Vein of Lingzhu Mountain was inherited by the eldest son, i.e., Sui Xuan’s brother. Therefore, after Sui Xuan reached Foundation Establishment, he had a big quarrel with his brother and left to travel outside. He met a female cultivator, became Daoist couple with her, and thus gave birth to Sui Zhuyue.
The person before him was a descendant of the eldest brother’s lineage, so it was reasonable to call Sui Zhuyue Aunt.
“Rise.”
Ning Daoran raised his hand, “May I know if Young Sui has come to Liuhua Island because something has happened at home?”
“Indeed!”
Sui Rufen clenched his teeth, “Two months ago, the Li Family launched a great war and occupied our Spirit Vein on Lingzhu Mountain, causing heavy casualties among our family members. The Li Family Ancestor is a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, extremely fierce in combat. Our Sui Family Ancestor had already fallen from severe injuries before I left…”
Ning Daoran turned to glance at Sui Zhuyue and saw her eyes filled with rage.
He smiled faintly, “Zhu Yue, go with him.”
