Cultivation Starting from Full Talent-Chapter 429 - 427: The Cultivation World’s Snitch

At a plateau halfway up the mountain, on Big Stone Square.

“What!?”

Zheng Ting was stunned: “The Brother Ning I brought up the mountain is actually a Late-stage Golden Core Cultivator? How… How is this possible, he’s only in the Qi Refinement Realm just like me…”

“Hmph, Junior Brother Zheng is really naive. If a Late-stage Golden Core Cultivator wants to conceal their cultivation, are you, a mere Qi Refinement Realm cultivator, able to discover it?”

A Senior Sister pulled Zheng Ting’s hand and said: “Moreover, could the words spoken personally by the Sect Master be false? Junior Brother, you are truly fortunate to have formed a good karma with such a powerful cultivator. Two years ago, Senior Sister was blinded by foolishness and rejected Junior Brother’s request to become Daoist couples, I wonder if Senior Sister still has such good fortune now?”

“Senior Sister Qin, my feelings for you have never changed…”

“Junior Brother…”

“Senior Sister…”

…

In the southern part of Qinzhou, within a dense mountain forest.

A figure drifted by, it was Ning Daoran disguised as Master Qiushui. In his hand, he held an Assassin token from Slaying Immortal Tower. Following the geographic projections from the Jade Talisman, he finally located the place.

“Whoosh~~~”

The moment Mana was sent out, a section of towering ancient trees in front vanished, replaced by a ginkgo forest. Within the forest, there stood a huge Ancient Temple, surrounded by altars that looked entirely different from the temples on Xia Country’s side.

However, this Ancient Temple is the Main Altar of the Qinzhou Slaying Immortal Tower, not a mere temple.

Ning Daoran drifted inside.

“Hmph~”

Inside the first floor of Slaying Immortal Tower, a Mid-stage Golden Core elder frowned and looked at the fluctuations of Ning Daoran’s Jade Talisman, saying: “Fellow Daoist has concealed your identity, but you are a Gold Medal Killer, it seems you have enemies here!”

“Not just enemies, but many of them.”

Ning Daoran said: “Fellow Daoist, I’m planning to stay in Slaying Immortal Tower for a few days to gather some intel about the Cultivation World of Sangyu Country, may I?”

“Of course, you may.”

A voice floated down from above, very familiar.

Shen Luoyan?!

Ning Daoran was a bit stunned.

“Aren’t you coming up to see me?” Shen Luoyan said.

“Cough cough…”

The demeanor of the elder beside him gradually became respectful and said: “It turns out to be an acquaintance of the Tower Master, hurry up and go to her, do you wish to keep the Tower Master waiting?”

“You nosy…”

His ear picked up Shen Luoyan’s voice.

The elder hastily bowed: “Subordinate acknowledges the mistake…”

Ning Daoran did not hear these murmurs and soared straight up to the ninth floor of the Slaying Immortal Tower. The moment he reached the ninth floor, a familiar figure was lazily lying on a reclining chair, flipping through a register while enjoying delicious pastries, with a Nascent Soul Early Stage elder attending by the side, looking exceedingly respectful.

“Tower Master…”

Ning Daoran was speechless for a while: “How did you come to Sangyu Country?”

“After the battle at Half Moon Island, I came to Sangyu Country.”

Shen Luoyan glanced with her beautiful eyes: “Rather, I would like to ask, why have you come to Sangyu Country? Wasn’t the trouble you stirred up on Liuhua Island enough that you want to bring troubles to my Slaying Immortal Tower?”

“What Tower Master says is unreasonable.”

Ning Daoran smiled and said: “I had already planned to visit Sangyu Country a hundred years ago, now that I finally have the leisure time, I came here. However, encountering the Tower Master here in Qinzhou Slaying Immortal Tower is really fate.”

In fact, he was a bit speechless, every place he went to he would encounter Shen Luoyan, to the point where he occasionally wondered if Shen Luoyan was a sort of NPC who accompanied him, issuing missions or perhaps his secret guardian, seemingly a superior, yet might not be so.

“Indeed quite the coincidence.”

Shen Luoyan said: “However, it’s rather coincidental that while I was considering whether to ask True Monarch Liu Yun to make a trip to Sangyu Country, you appeared. Well, it seems this matter falls upon you.”

“Ah?”

Ning Daoran lightly raised an eyebrow, cupping one hand in the other in salute: “If the Tower Master has an order, I will undertake the task even if it means walking through mountains of swords and seas of flames, without any resentment or complaints!”

Shen Luoyan chuckled: “You sure know how to talk… I truly appreciate it. If the other cultivators in my tower could also be as agreeable as you, I, Shen Luoyan, would wake up laughing in my dreams.”

With that, she glanced at a Nascent Soul Early Stage Cultivation elder sitting nearby.

The elder made a gloomy face, inwardly cursing to himself, thinking the Tower Master is just taken by that pretty boy’s face. If I were six hundred years younger, I’m sure she’d be finding me pleasing to the eye as well.

He stroked his beard, pretending not to notice anything amiss.

“Tower Master.”

Ning Daoran asked, “What task do you have for me?”

“In truth, the matter is quite simple when put plainly.”

Shen Luoyan, wary of revealing secrets, directly communicated through voice transmission: “I need your help to kill someone. This person is in the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, a traitor from our Slaying Immortal Tower. Not long ago due to his betrayal, two Elders of the Slaying Immortal Tower fell. Moreover, this person possesses confidential knowledge of the Slaying Immortal Tower that must be eliminated along with his Nascent Soul to prevent any leaks!”

She cast a meaningful glance, saying: “So far, I have not warned the snake in the grass. This mission is only to lure the snake into the pot. I have already joined forces with another Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivation expert to ensure foolproof success. As for you, you just need to help set up the Ten Directions Forbidden Array, and if we successfully eliminate him, I will certainly reward you with an opportunity.”

“Good.”

Ning Daoran, without a second thought, replied through voice transmission: “I will follow the Tower Master’s orders without question!”

Shen Luoyan smiled contentedly, rested her slender legs on the tea table, and said: “No rush, try some of the local delicacies; they really have a unique taste.”

“Yes.”

Ning Daoran sat down and tasted the snacks, which were indeed delicious.

Beside him, the Nascent Soul elder frowned, thinking whether he should excuse himself. From the looks of it, this youngster will soon be rubbing Tower Master’s back and massaging her legs. In a moment… the Tower Master, although verbally protesting, has already indicated she would allow this boy to do as he pleases. This kind of scenario is all too common in Sangyu Country’s Cultivation World.

“You may leave.”

Shen Luoyan glanced at the elder, saying: “Go to the eighth floor and check the records. I want to know all the origins regarding this matter.”

“Yes, Tower Master!”

The elder, feeling relieved, turned and left.

…

Ning Daoran leaped to sit on the windowsill, looking out at the scenery, and communicated through voice transmission: “Tower Master, who exactly is the person we are to kill? Could you perhaps share some information with me?”

“There’s no harm in telling you.”

Shen Luoyan said: “This person is known as Qianye Demon Lord, a famed Demon Cultivator in Sangyu Country. Originally a Loose Cultivator, he later joined a major power of Sangyu Country. Unfortunately, driven by greed, he forged a connection with cultivators from another realm and even attempted to reveal the strategic layout of Slaying Immortal Tower of the Eastern Wasteland Cultivation World to others, beckoning outsiders to descend into our realm.”

“Descend?”

Ning Daoran shivered, it was a term he had just heard, leaving him bewildered.

“That’s right, descent.”

Shen Luoyan smiled faintly, saying: “Do you know why Sangyu Country has been desperately trying to attack Xia Country to seize their cultivation lands for several hundred years?”

“Could it be some sort of strategy to replace what is lost with something else?”

“Not far off the mark.”

Shen Luoyan said: “A Divinity Transformation Stage predecessor from the Eastern Wasteland Cultivation World ascended to the Earth Immortal Realm thousands of years ago and has now become a Mahayana Realm cultivator. Despite being a prominent figure in the Earth Immortal Realm, he cares deeply for the Human World and sent back a message through a secret technique. Centuries from now, an ‘upper’ Human World will collide with our ‘lower’ Eastern Wasteland Cultivation World in search of resources needed, an event called descent.”

She raised her eyebrows slightly: “The precise location of their descent is Sangyu Country! Hence, for centuries, Sangyu Country has been seeking new territories, launching repeated attacks on Xia Country in preparation for a strategic depth prior to the decisive battle. However, Xia Country’s Cultivation World is formidable, and they have failed to conquer it.”

“I see…”

Ning Daoran was greatly alarmed: “In that case, this Qianye Demon Lord is essentially a traitor, a snitch to our Eastern Wasteland Cultivation World!”

“Hmm.”

Shen Luoyan nodded lightly and laughed: “Although I don’t quite understand what you mean by ‘traitor’ and ‘snitch,’ I suppose it’s along those lines.”

“Tower Master.”

Ning Daoran grew somewhat anxious: “If the descent is real, could it affect Xia Country’s Cultivation World? If the descending realm has a much stronger force, they might set their sights on Xia Country after eliminating Sangyu Country.”

“That’s possible.”

Shen Luoyan smiled faintly: “But you need not worry. According to that Mahayana predecessor, the descent is at least two hundred years away from now. By then, you will have reached at least the Nascent Soul Middle Stage. The descending realm will only have Divinity Transformation Stage cultivators at most. With your Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivation, Ning Daoran, what is there to fear?”

“That’s the best-case scenario!”

Ning Daoyan took a deep breath. If that’s the case, then there truly was nothing to worry about. With his Nascent Soul Middle Stage self, he would have more than enough strength to protect Chaotic Sect in the impending descent war.

…

Several days later, a figure soared through the air, landing directly on the ninth floor of the Slaying Immortal Tower, wearing a Gold Token of a killer at his waist, exuding the presence of a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivation, a Golden Core Late Stage Cultivator.

“Your subordinate greets the Tower Master!”

“No need for formalities.”

Shen Luoyan stood up slowly: “Let’s go. We will head to Qianye Forest to set up in advance and eliminate that villain!”
