Cultivation Starting from Full Talent-Chapter 445 - 443: The Fastest Man Appears!

Ning Daoran had transformed into the appearance of Independent Practitioner Jianjia. Carrying a Big Green Dragon, he entered the tower, displayed his waist badge, and said in a deep voice, “Elder, may I view the rewards within this tower?”

“Yes.”

An old Gold Core Late Stage cultivator, nearing the end of his life span, smiled faintly and led Ning Daoran to the Eighth Layer.

Inside the Eighth Layer, a towering jade stood tall, with flowing luster revealing the stored rewards of the Qinzhou Slaying Immortal Tower. Soon, Ning Daoran spotted the item he needed.

It was a handbook wrapped in green cloth, detailing a Fourth-order Middle-grade Array Dao Inheritance called the Nine Revolutions Ruyi Formation!

This formation combined elements of Spiritual Energy, Isolation, Illusion Technique, Confusion Array, and Defense; it was an excellent protective array, rumored to be used by some top Immortal Sects.

“Fellow Daoist.”

The Elder squinted lazily and smiled, “Are you interested in the inheritance of the Nine Revolutions Ruyi Formation? This inheritance is extraordinary, left behind by a Nascent Soul Senior who disassembled his body before passing away. This inheritance has just been placed on the shelves less than three days ago; you’re quite fortunate to have stumbled upon it, as it would possibly be exchanged by someone else if you were any later.”

“Is that so…”

Ning Daoran frowned slightly. His points were not enough to exchange for the Nine Revolutions Ruyi Formation; he lacked the points from a perilous mission. Thus, he said, “Elder, may I take a look at the current mission booklet of the Slaying Immortal Tower?”

“Yes.”

The Elder waved his sleeve, and a thick booklet appeared before him, asking, “What level of mission would you like to take, Fellow Daoist?”

“What’s the most difficult task currently available in the Qinzhou Slaying Immortal Tower?”

The Elder smiled and extracted a blood-colored bookmark from the booklet, saying, “To the southwest of the Demon Dragon Mountain Range, the Fuyou Mountain, containing a Third-tier top-grade Spirit Vein, has been occupied by a third-tier Late-stage Demon Bear leading a beast tide. This Demon Bear is extremely powerful with a formidable physique. However, I’m not sure if you are capable of taking down this Demon Beast.”

Ning Daoran glanced at the mission points, which were just enough — he would have sufficient points to exchange for the Nine Revolutions Ruyi Formation after completing the task. He readily agreed, “I’ll take on this one.”

“Excellent!”

The Elder slapped his Storage Bag, and a Blank jade slip jumped out and hovered in the air. He quickly imprinted the mission onto the jade slip and then tossed it to Ning Daoran, saying, “Bring back the flesh of this Demon Bear to verify its identity, and it will be considered mission completion.”

“Understood, I thank you, Elder.”

Ning Daoran accepted the jade talisman and disappeared from the tower like a fleeting shadow.

“Hmm~~~”

The Elder stroked his beard with a meaningful smile, his eyes revealing a profound depth. This youngster was audacious, having killed so many cultivators from Sangyu Country during the border battles. He even participated in the annihilation of Nascent Soul Great Cultivators and still dared to boldly seek opportunities in the Slaying Immortal Tower located in Sangyu Country, utterly disregarding the Cultivation World of Sangyu Country.

However, there was nothing much to be done since he had the support of the Slaying Immortal Tower Master, Shen Luoyan. No one in the Slaying Immortal Towers across Sangyu Country would dare to lay a hand on this person.

…

Demon Dragon Mountain Range, Southwest.

A streak of Tunneling light skimmed across the ground rapidly; it was Ning Daoran. Within half an hour, he had already arrived at the designated location marked on the jade slip, where a lone peak stood among the forests — Fuyou Mountain itself.

The Spiritual Energy surged within the mountain, concealing a Third-tier Top-grade Spirit Vein.

“This is the place.”

Ning Daoran twisted his figure and drifted onto the treetop of an ancient tree. He used Wood Escape to vanish within the tree, with all his presence receding, as if a bird had landed silently on the branch, stirring no sound nor any alarm.

He released his Divine Sense to survey Fuyou Mountain. On the peak’s cave mansion was the presence of a Third-tier Late-stage Demon Beast, the target Demon Bear, while the mid-slope and foothills were occupied by two Third-tier Early-stage and more than a dozen Second Order Demon Beasts.

This Fuyou Mountain, rich in Spiritual Energy, attracted a swarm of Demon Beasts clinging to it like flies on meat, densely packed together.

Since he was already here, he might as well clear their census registry.

With a light tap of his Storage Bag, Ning Daoran commanded, “Little Bai, Little Blackie, the two of you set up an ambush around Fuyou Mountain. Take out any that come by; don’t let a single one escape. Old Lu, Little Gui, follow me up the mountain. I will take out the Third-tier Late-stage Demon Bear. The rest is up to you — make sure not a blade of grass grows on this Fuyou Mountain!”

“Roar~~”

Big Stupid Deer shouted excitedly, having not stretched its limbs and fought for a while.

Little Bai replied with a curtsey and a smile, “As you command!”

“Brother Ran, rest assured!”

Little Blackie and Ning Xiaogui are frantically patting their chests, indicating that they’ve got this under control.

“Let’s go!”

Ning Daoran’s figure swept away, and from his sleeve, Class A Paperfolk flew out, scattering around the vicinity, along with more than a hundred Second-class Paperfolk, effectively sealing off the Fuyou Mountain area so tightly that not even water could seep through.

“Whoosh—”

A blue figure swept past, and Ning Daoran brandished the Big Green Dragon. The twenty-first layer of the Dragon Demon Heart Scripture within him erupted, partially transforming him into a Dragon Demon Body. With dragon horns protruding from his forehead and his pupils turning into golden vertical slits, he looked like an entirely different person. Enveloped by the majesty of the dragon, he fiercely thrust down with his lance!

The Big Green Dragon swelled to dozens of feet in length in an instant. It ferociously struck down at the mountain peak, turning what seemed like an insubstantial blood-colored restriction into dust, and then with the momentum of thunder and lightning, struck in front of the Cave Mansion.

“Who dares to seek death?”

The Cave Mansion Restriction dissipated, and a figure emerged: a middle-aged man clad in armor so bulky it was almost comical. It was the Third-tier Late-stage Bear Demon. The moment his gaze met Ning Daoran’s, he attempted to flee into the Cave Mansion!

Although he had never been to Xia Country’s Cultivation World, the Bear Demon often watched the cultivation world’s broadcasts and was deeply familiar with the person before him. There was no mistake—it was Independent Practitioner Jianjia, the killer of the No-Action True Monarch and Huo Canzi!

“Fellow Daoist, where are you going?”

Ning Daoran’s form glided ahead, much faster than the Bear Demon. In an instant, he blocked the Bear Demon from behind, smiling, “I’ve just arrived and would like to borrow Fellow Daoist’s head for a moment!”

“Fellow Daoist jests. The head is the seat of life. How could it be lent out?”

The Bear Demon’s eyes were rolling around rapidly, and in the instant Ning Daoran was about to speak, the Bear Demon unexpectedly pulled out a large axe from his waistband. Accompanied by a fierce wind-blasting sound, it was brought down straight towards Ning Daoran’s head!

Isn’t this why Demon Clans are said to be ruthless? A Third-tier Late-stage Demon Beast that doesn’t eat vegetarians does not exist!

Ning Daoran stepped back, conjuring a Whale Bone Shield to block the attack. With a light tap on the ground, ripples of Dual Yin Sword Intent spread out, followed by several Golden Silk Swords bursting out from within him, attacking fiercely with crackling sounds from all around.

At this moment, Ning Daoran’s cultivation was so profound, it was not something a Third-tier Late-stage Demon Beast could withstand.

The Bear Demon kept swinging his battle-axe to block, but he couldn’t stop them completely. In the blink of an eye, his arms and thighs had been pierced with bloody holes. The Golden Silk Sword was unstoppable, even his dense Demonic aura couldn’t fend it off.

“Fellow Daoist!”

The Bear Demon bellowed, “What wrong has Xiong done that compels Fellow Daoist to fight for his life like this?”

Ning Daoran did not speak, instead, he summoned a Green Bamboo Scroll. Instantly, bamboo slips, moving like swimming fish, converged from all directions and adhered themselves onto the Bear Demon’s body, encircling him.

“Go!”

Ning Daoran pointed, and a green sword, swift as thunder, burst forth—it was the Qingfu Mother-Child Sword!

“Scoundrel!”

The Bear Demon, furious and overwhelmed with Evil Qi, abruptly caught hold of the Qingfu Mother-Child Sword despite his palm being shredded to ribbons, but he would not let go, scoffing, “With such petty tricks, you think you can kill me? Fellow Daoist is far too naive!”

“Is that so?”

Ning Daoran let out a faint smile, pointed a finger, and instantly, a buzzing noise came from within the Qingfu Mother-Child Sword. The Child Sword suddenly departed from the Mother Sword, turning into a streak of blood light, and infiltrated the Bear Demon’s skull.

“You…”

The Bear Demon’s pupils drastically contracted, and his neck slowly snapped backward; he had been decapitated by the Child Sword!

“Humph~~”

Ning Daoran gave a slight smile. A Third-tier Late-stage Demon Beast was nothing more than this, not worth a single strike!

But just at that moment, suddenly, a sound of thunder roared from below the mountain. Soon after, Ning Daoran’s Divine Sense caught a very powerful Gold Core Late Stage presence, and with a streak of lightning, a figure in a blue robe soared onto the mountain peak, gesturing to suction away, and with a “snap,” the Demon Core inside the Bear Demon’s head was taken by the other party.

“Fellow Daoist is being too rude!”

Ning Daoran put the Bear Demon’s corpse into the Storage Bag and swung the Big Green Dragon, slashing towards the person in the blue robe.

“Hm?”

The blue-robbed person seemed to sense the strength of Ning Daoran’s Mana fluctuations and stepped back. Surrounding him, “crackle and buzz” sounds were heard, and as he moved, numerous deep blue thunders flickered!

“Whoosh!”

Ning Daoran lunged with his spear aiming for a decisive strike but, to his surprise, only hit the other’s afterimage. The Big Green Dragon only hit an empty space.

So fast!

His heart sank, noting the person’s incredible Tunneling speed.

“Fellow Daoist, you’re being unreasonable!”

Ning Daoran immediately burned a Third-tier Mid-grade Divine Speed Talisman, and with the Wind Riding Leisurely Technique reaching the state of Return to Nature, his body shot forward like lightning. Meanwhile, he communicated mentally with Little Bai and Big Stupid Deer to handle the aftermath at Fuyou Mountain on their own.

“Hm?”

Among the clouds, the blue-robed figure cast a sharp glance and to his surprise, found Ning Daoran following him.

“Hmph…”

With a sneer, he tapped his foot on the void, and with a “bang,” countless thunder glows flickered, and his speed suddenly surged again, leaving Ning Daoran trailing hundreds of yards behind!
