Cultivation Starting from Full Talent-Chapter 440 - 438: Late Arrival

“Ah?”

Master Bishui shivered slightly: “Fellow Daoist is joking… The three of us are merely Golden Cores, incapable of withstanding a single blow in front of a Nascent Soul Stage Demon Beast, going there would mean death. Moreover, the Qianyuan Sect has a great Array protecting it, they might not need our help. We better watch for now.”

“That’s correct.”

Liu Ruyan said: “If I were at the Nascent Soul Stage, I might lend a hand, but unfortunately, I’m not, and there is no need to force ourselves to act.”

“That is for the best.”

Ning Daoran gently bowed with a fist: “Since the demon dragon’s target is not us, the two Fellow Daoists please hurry back to your peaks, raise the great Arrays. Our three peaks protect each other; if one is attacked, the other two will come to help, how about that?”

“Good!”

Master Bishui nodded with a smile, and immediately soared away with tunneling light. He had been anxious to slip away, being in Luoxia Peak was not as comfortable as being at home, quite inconvenient.

“Junior brother.”

Liu Ruyan sent a message with sound transmission: “Be careful too.”

“Sister, you too.”

After that, Liu Ruyan returned to Qingxia Peak.

…

Qianyuan Sect, the front mountain.

“Boom~~~”

With a loud bang, the true body of the Fire Dragon True Monarch slammed into the Outer Mountain’s great Array, causing it to tremble persistently. The physical body of a fourth-tier Fire Dragon was extremely formidable, and with the continuous push of the demonic aura and spiritual pressure, the Array was on the verge of collapse from the very beginning!

“You miscreant beast!”

Monarch Qian Yuan soared into the sky and hurled a Spiritual Treasure at it.

Following that, True Monarch Tu Yang attacked sneakily with a Flying Sword from another side.

Unfortunately, the Fire Dragon True Monarch’s combat power was robust, with a particularly tough head. After taking a hit, it only slightly reared its head back without any damage; instead, a breath of demonic aura was spat out, restraining Monarch Qian Yuan’s Spiritual Treasure.

“All disciples, attack with swords!”

On the mountain, various Inner Sect Disciples of Qianyuan Sect appeared, and instantly countless Flying Swords turned into glowing lights rushing out of the Array, pitter-pattering upon the Fire Dragon True Monarch’s body.

Unfortunately, it was like scratching an itch, completely ineffective against this Nascent Soul Stage Demon Dragon.

“A bunch of ants, utterly senseless!”

The Fire Dragon True Monarch roared, its body undulating as it attacked the Array with its head once more, the Array buzzing noisily, while the winding dragon body kept pressing down with spiritual pressure bursting continuously. Not to mention the Inner Sect Disciples, even True Monarch Tu Yang found it difficult to endure.

Among those present, only Monarch Qian Yuan could slightly withstand it, and even then, he could not truly suppress the Fire Dragon True Monarch.

The bloodline of this True Dragon Descendant was too strong. Even Monarch Qian Yuan found it difficult to deal with the spiritual pressure from just the use of the Lifebound Essence Blood, not to mention the physical body’s crushing power which Monarch Qian Yuan couldn’t handle.

For a time, cold sweat broke out on Monarch Qian Yuan’s face.

He was a mighty Mid-stage Nascent Soul, yet he couldn’t handle an Early Stage Nascent Soul Fire Dragon True Monarch. If this was spread outside… it would likely draw laughter and ridicule.

“Boom~~~”

After a long while, there was a loud noise as the outer Array shattered!

“Retreat into the Mountain Gate, quick!”

True Monarch Tu Yang shouted abruptly, releasing several fiery palm prints to distract the Fire Dragon True Monarch’s attention and leading a group of Disciples up the mountain, quickly activating the inner defenses.

“Hmph, ridiculous!”

The massive body of the Fire Dragon True Monarch rolled forward, instantly turning the majestic Mountain Gate of Qianyuan Sect into dust, erasing thousands of years of cultural relics.

“Elder brother!”

True Monarch Tu Yang’s face turned pale: “This way, I’m afraid it won’t work…”

“Go to Immortal Cloud Sect immediately!”

Monarch Qian Yuan transmitted in a low voice: “Ask Lu Xianzi to come with the Immortal Slaying Sword. Looking over the whole of Qinzhou, aside from Lu Xianzi and the Immortal Slaying Sword, no other Cultivator can suppress this demon dragon!”

“Yes!”

True Monarch Tu Yang left the back mountain without any hesitation.

So, in the front mountain, only Monarch Qian Yuan stood alone in the air, facing the fourth-order Demon Dragon.

“Fellow Daoist.”

Monarch Qian Yuan frowned and said, “I do not know where our Qianyuan Sect has offended Fellow Daoist, to compel you to mobilize such forces to destroy our Mountain Gate?”

“You know exactly what you did!”

Above the head of the Fire Dragon, a deep red light flickered. Astonishingly, the Nascent Soul of the Fire Dragon emerged, stating, “Your Qianyuan Sect stole my Treasure Scales and even used them to forge armor. Shouldn’t I settle this account with you?”

“Fellow Daoist, there seems to be a misunderstanding.”

Monarch Qian Yuan bowed his hands and said, “Our Qianyuan Sect has nothing to do with this matter. In recent days, my junior brother and I have not left the Sect, and all disciples can testify to this. Moreover, there is no Divine Craftsman residing in our Qianyuan Sect, so how could we possibly forge such Divine Armor?”

“Oh?”

Fire Dragon True Monarch narrowed his eyes and said, “So, this matter truly has nothing to do with your Qianyuan Sect?”

“Indeed it does not,” asserted Monarch Qian Yuan decisively.

“What does it matter?”

Fire Dragon True Monarch revealed a sinister smile: “If I want to attack Qianyuan Sect, I will do so—do I need to find an excuse or pick a specific time?”

“You inarticulate beast!”

Monarch Qian Yuan had a naturally explosive temper. He could hold back for the sake of the Sect, but now, with the Fire Dragon True Monarch speaking thus, he truly could no longer restrain himself!

“Ning Xin!”

He looked back and directly sent a message to the True Disciple, Zhang Ningxin, “Issue my decree, no disciple should directly confront Fire Dragon True Monarch. You are no match for him, and if I fall in battle and the Demon Dragon invades the Mountain Gate, then lead all disciples to retreat. As long as the green hills are there, we won’t fear running out of firewood; even if the Demon Dragon burns down the entire Qianyuan Sect, as long as you are alive, our Sect will not be extinguished!”

“Yes!”

Zhang Ningxin nodded gently, her beautiful eyes already brimming with hot tears.

Having grown up in the Qianyuan Sect since childhood, she regarded it as her everything. Watching the Qianyuan Sect being destroyed by the Demon Dragon was naturally the most distressing for her.

…

“Roar~~~”

Dragon Flames poured down like rain upon the Qianyuan Sect.

In the distance, on the Outer Mountain’s Purple and Green Three Peaks.

Ning Daoran stood atop the summit, watching the huge form of the Demon Dragon twist and turn, constantly shaking and smashing into the inner prohibition of the Qianyuan Sect, falling into deep thought.

He even considered going forward to lend a hand. After all, the path of cultivation should not defy one’s own heart; one must shoulder their own burdens.

But soon, he heard the decree of Monarch Qian Yuan.

Even the Qianyuan Sect Disciples were adhering to the principle of “letting it be, no resistance,” so Ning Daoran, an outsider, certainly had no need to rush to aid. Moreover, as Fire Dragon True Monarch said, if it wanted to attack the Qianyuan Sect, it could do so at any time as long as it was strong enough. Ning Daoran’s armor forging had merely brought forward the inevitable.

In such a case, there’s no need to feel excessively guilty.

Soon after, the second layer of the Qianyuan Sect’s grand Array was breached!

Fire Dragon True Monarch scattered a rain of fire, burning the front mountain and destroying many buildings. Fortunately, the Spirit Vein underground could not be damaged, as that was the foundation of the Qianyuan Sect.

In the fierce battle, Monarch Qian Yuan was injured and had already retreated.

After occupying the front mountain, Fire Dragon True Monarch did not go on a killing spree but headed straight for the Medicine Garden, feasting and indulging in the Treasure Medicine stored by the Qianyuan Sect for many years!

Ning Daoran watched with great heartache; many of those Spiritual Medicines were rare treasures. Yet, Fire Dragon True Monarch swallowed them down like a “water buffalo munching on water chestnuts,” without even discerning their quality, utterly squandering them.

He continuously sent out Paperfolk to scout, extremely cautious, afraid that Fire Dragon True Monarch, once satiated, would come to the Purple and Green Three Peaks for another rampage.

In fact, he was not the only one worried. Dozens of Outer Mountains and nearly a hundred Peak Masters of Qianyuan Sect were in trepidation for several days, until it was finally clear that Fire Dragon True Monarch just wanted to ravage the Medicine Garden of the Qianyuan Sect. It was after realizing it was not coming for them that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

For several days, everyone was extremely anxious.

Liu Ruyan communicated with Ning Daoran using Sound Transmission Talisman to confirm the distant news.

Master Bishui was trembling with fear that Fire Dragon True Monarch would covet his small plot of land. But in reality, the Spiritual Medicines and Spirit Plants he cultivated were not even in the eyes of Fire Dragon True Monarch, who, after all, was a Nascent Soul Stage Demon Beast.

…

The situation continued for nearly ten days.

Fire Dragon True Monarch occupied the Medicine Garden of the Qianyuan Sect’s front mountain, sleeping after eating and continuing to feast upon waking. After its meal, its aura was extremely full, and miraculously, the Lifebound Scale on its lower jaw had regrown.

Zhang Ningxin visited Luoxia Peak once, instructing Ning Daoran not to wander around and to definitely not provoke Fire Dragon True Monarch. She was deeply concerned for Ning Daoran’s safety and personally came despite the Sect’s prohibition to confirm Ning Daoran was safe before leaving with a smile.

“Sister, you are greatly blessed!”

Liu Ruyan teased through transmission: “Zhang Ningxin is known as the number one beauty of Qinzhou. If junior brother fancies her, you could consider it.”

“You worry too much, sister.”

Ning Daoran replied directly: “I already have someone else in my heart, I naturally won’t hinder Immortal Ning Xin.”

Liu Ruyan fell into confusion, unsure of who the woman in Ning Daoran’s heart was, to make him so relentless in his devotion, that he could even refuse someone as desirable as Zhang Ningxin.

It seemed as if everyone in Qianyuan Sect had grown used to having a Fire Dragon living in the front mountain.

No one dared to return to the mountain and had to reside elsewhere.

The status quo continued until a streak of light appeared in the sky, and a breathtakingly beautiful Fairy with a splendid mark on her brow descended from the heavens, dressed in a white robe with long, snow-white legs, holding a fourth-tier Top Grade Spiritual Treasure Long Sword.

The late arrival of Lu Xianzi from the Immortal Cloud Sect!
