Cultivation Starting from Full Talent

Chapter 113: Chapter 111: Battle Between Good and Evil (Thanks to the League Leader He Shi Fu Guang Han!)

Cultivation knows no years, and in the blink of an eye, two years hurried by.

Qiongbi Peak.

The morning mist enveloped the entire mountain, and from within the mist, one could faintly hear the sounds of chickens, ducks, cows, and sheep.

“Little Blackie!”

Early in the morning, Ning Daoran drifted to the fish pond.

“Squeak, squeak~~~”

The Big Black Fish instantly emerged halfway out of the water, its black scales emitting a dim glow, desperately showing off its cultivation progress to its master.

“Not bad.”

Ning Daoran lifted his hand to draw his sword, and from the Storage Bag, he chopped off several tens of jin of Black Jiao Meat and tossed it out.

The Big Black Fish leaped out of the water, opened its huge mouth, and with a “plop,” swallowed the Black Jiao Meat in one gulp, then showed a deeply satisfied expression.

“There’s not much Black Jiao Meat left,” said Ning Daoran, his smile gradually revealing malice.

“Squeak, squeak, squeak~~~”

The Big Black Fish’s scales flew about, scared out of its wits.

“Hmph!”

After scanning the fish pond with his Divine Sense, Ning Daoran said, “From today on, the number of Spirit Fish you can eat each day can be increased by twenty percent.”

Only then did the Big Black Fish breathe a sigh of relief, seeing that its black-hearted master had not yet given up on it.

…

“Uncle.”

Through the mist, Chen Weimo slowly emerged, wearing a white dress.

She was now at the Qi Refining Fifth Layer, having somewhat the air of a Qi Refining Middle Stage Cultivator.

“What is it?”

“A Qi Refining Ninth Level senior brother from Purple Cloud Peak wants to buy twenty jin of Purple Jade Spirit Rice from us on Qiongbi Peak, hoping to get a discount.”

“No discounts.”

Ning Daoran said, “Next time this happens, you can directly tell them that there are more and more cultivators on Qiongbi Peak, we barely have enough for ourselves, so how could we spare any?”

“Yes, Uncle!”

Chen Weimo turned and left.

Over the years, Chen Weimo had served as the “Chief Manager” of Qiongbi Peak and had been diligent and industrious. Having her manage many affairs also made things more convenient.

In this respect, Ning Daoran actually quite approved of his little niece.

The only thing he disapproved of was her cultivation.

Chen Weimo was already forty years old and only at the Qi Refining Fifth Layer—her cultivation progress was concerning.

At forty, he had already reached Foundation Establishment!

Forget it, let’s not think about it, thinking about it only makes me angrier.

“Whoosh—”

Suddenly, a Sound Transmission Talisman from the direction of Purple Cloud Peak arrived. It was a message from the Great Sister, Jiang Yu, “Junior Brother Ning, come to Purple Cloud Hall at once, there’s big trouble!”

Could it be that matter…

Ning Daoran frowned, called for Big Stupid Deer, and together they transformed into two streaks of Tunneling Light, flying straight toward Purple Cloud Peak.

…

Purple Cloud Hall.

When Ning Daoran arrived, many Inner Sect and Outer Elders had already gathered.

All four Golden Core Elders of the Sect were present, and in addition, Lin Sheng, Han Bing, Lin Zhuojun and other new generations of Foundation Establishment had all arrived in the hall.

“Sect Master, what exactly has happened?”

Outer Elder Huang Chengyan asked.

“The Demon Path has officially invaded!” Jiang Yu stated with a grave expression.

“What?”

A group of Elders were astounded, “The Demons… The Demon Path has struck against us, the Righteous Path?”

“Exactly.”

Jiang Yu looked at everyone, “Immediately send orders down, all disciples who are out on missions must return to the Sect at once. Furthermore, have the Sect’s Heavenly Gang Hundred Fierce Formation and the Arrays of Yellow Dragon Square stand by, ready to guard against any Demon Path invasion at any time!”

“Yes, Sect Master!”

“In this period, all Foundation Establishment should try not to leave the Sect, and be ready to act at any moment.”

Jiang Yu said solemnly, “Currently, the Soul Devouring Sect, Heavenly Slaughter Sect, Ghost Ghost Sect, and Yellow Spring Sect, these four major Demon forces, are fiercely attacking the Sea Burning Sect, which has already activated their great Array.

Our Chaotic Sect, along with Star Moon Pavilion, Steel Gate Sect, and others will form the second line of defense, to hold back the southward momentum of the Demon Path!”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Ning Daoran and Big Stupid Deer glanced at each other, seeing the concern in each other’s eyes.

…

As the storm approached, with the opening of the battlefront by the Sea Burning Sect, the entire Qingzhou Cultivation World began to feel the danger.

In Yellow Dragon Square, the prices of various Magic Artifacts, Elixir Pills, and Talismans rose by about fifty percent in an instant, and even Spirit Rice and Spirit Fruits increased by about twenty percent.

Qiongbi Peak.

Ning Daoran carried on as usual. The Demon Path’s invasion was a big deal, but panicking was useless.

As the Qiongbi Peak Master, of course, he had to set an example.

Carrying a hoe everyday as always, if there was work, he worked, and if there wasn’t, he made work.

After over a month, astonishing news arrived.

The leading Sect of Qingzhou’s True Path, the Sea Burning Sect, was breached!

In just a month, the Sea Burning Sect’s supposedly impregnable Third-tier Middle-grade Array was breached!

Reportedly, due to an inside traitor, the Sea Burning Sect crumbled from within.

After much inquiry, Ning Daoran learned that this traitor turned out to be Old Monster Jinxia, presumed dead in the battle against the Five Saints Sect.

Somehow, Old Monster Jinxia had been revived…

Moreover, Old Monster Jinxia held a very high status in the Sea Burning Sect, being a Supreme Elder alongside Old Monster Tian Hai. The betrayal of this Supreme Elder gave the invading Demon Path forces an overwhelming advantage.

According to rumors, it was said that Old Monster Tian Hai, who presided over the Sea Burning Sect, was cornered by the Soul-devouring Demon, Old Monster Jinxia, and a group of Golden Cores in his secret Cave Mansion beneath the Sect.

In the end, the fate of Old Monster Tian Hai remained unknown to all.

As for why Sects like Chaotic Sect and Star Moon Pavilion did not rush to aid, one reason was the long distance, at least half a month’s journey from Sea Burning Sect, and secondly, the Sea Burning Sect had the Third-tier Middle-grade Array for protection, and deep foundations—no one expected it to fall so quickly.

Of course, there was also a crucial reason.

The Sea Burning Sect had always prided itself as Qingzhou’s number one Sect, and had often overtly and covertly oppressed and bullied Sects like Chaotic Sect and Star Moon Pavilion.

Those Sects had long harbored grievances, though they didn’t wish for the Sea Burning Sect to be annihilated, sacrificing their Sect’s disciples’ lives to rescue the Sea Burning Sect was absolutely impossible.

At dusk, the Sect Master Jiang Yu’s edict spread throughout the entire Sect. The Chaotic Sect was about to send a team north, and at the depths of the northern Yellow Dragon Mountain Range, they would construct defensive positions against the southward-moving Demon Path.

The first group to be dispatched was led by the Great Elder Gongyang Yan, including ten Foundation Establishment cultivators and three hundred disciples with notable cultivation.

This time, Ning Daoran’s name was not among those set out to battle.

But the peaceful days of the Chaotic Sect were gone, leaving the whole Sect anxious and restless.

Even those left to cultivate had unease in their hearts, fearing that at any moment the frontline might be breached and if the Demon Path came south, all they have would turn to ashes.

…

Before long, news arrived.

The great battle in the north had begun. Led by the Chaotic Sect, Star Moon Pavilion, Steel Gate Sect, Purple Cloud Sect, and other Sects all dispatched elite forces to engage in a fight to the death against the Demon Path on a northern battleground.

If the True Path won this battle, then Qingzhou Cultivation World would still primarily be under the True Path’s dominion.

If they lost, then the Righteous Cultivators of Qingzhou Cultivation World would no longer be calling the shots.

Half a month later.

Late at night, Jiang Yu once again summoned everyone.

Ning Daoran, Han Bing, Lin Sheng, Lin Zhuojun, and other Foundation Establishment Cultivators were all listed in the second batch set to go to battle.

This time, Jiang Yu would lead ten Foundation Establishment cultivators personally, along with five hundred Chaotic Sect Disciples to the battlefield.

She didn’t speak of the situation at the battlefield, but everyone could sense that the battle was unfavorable to the Righteous Path.

The next morning.

Lei Peng soared through the clouds, Ning Daoran and the others cutting through the wind, heading straight for the battlefield.

In the evening, the group landed in a dense jungle area.

In the distance, the air was alive with the flow of Mana; arrays stretched far and wide, with the forces of Righteous and Demon Path already mired in a chaotic battle.

Lei Peng unfurled its wings, carrying everyone into the Arrays.

At that moment, Gongyang Yan returned with indignation, holding the head of a Demon Cultivator in his hand, “In just three days, we’ve lost another two Foundation Establishments and over a hundred disciples, the Demon Path’s onslaught is ferocious.”

“I understand.”

Jiang Yu said, “Set up the Defense Lines.”

“Yes!”

Ultimately, Ning Daoran was assigned to a Defense Line on the left flank, along with dozens of Inner and Outer Disciples.

In the wilderness, a few basic tents were connected, and there was also a very rudimentary First-tier Lower Grade Defensive Array that looked as if it might scatter with a gust of wind.

“Martial Uncle Ning…”

A middle-aged Outer Disciple with a bloodied face said, “Our position has been breached, and Demon Cultivators could come from the front, back, left, or right, Uncle, we…”

“Don’t worry.”

Ning Daoran patted his Storage Bag, took out three Array Flags and three Array Plates, and swiftly set up a First-tier top-grade Array called the Moon Reflected Water Curtain Array through casting a spell.

“This Array has a very strong defensive capability.”

Ning Daoran looked at the gathered people, “Stay and guard this Array, try not to venture out. I’ll observe the situation first.”

“Yes, Martial Uncle Ning!”

The Disciples’ eyes shone with light.

Back at the Sect, everyone had heard that this Martial Uncle was “cautious in life” and never took risks. It seemed the rumors were true!

Following this Martial Uncle meant a significantly higher chance of survival!

All of the Disciples were greatly encouraged, as if they had seen the first light of dawn.

…

Night fell.

In the distance, a murky fog advanced, covering the sky as if it were a living thing.

“This is bad, it’s the Ghost Fog!”

A Qi Refining Ninth Layer Disciple exclaimed in horror, “The Ghost Ghost Sect is coming!”

“Don’t panic.”

Ning Daoran said indifferently, “Just hold the Moon Reflected Water Curtain Array, what is there to panic about?”

“Yes, Uncle…”

“I’ll go and have a look.”

Taking Old Lu with him, Ning Daoran’s figure vanished into the fog.

…

“Old Lu, same rules as always—Earth Tunneling, and strike when you have the chance!”

“Aoo, aoo~~~”

Man and deer went into combat mode.

Ning Daoran quickly disguised himself as a gaunt young cultivator, donning the attire of an Outer Disciple of the Chaotic Sect, and wielding a pitch-dark Big Green Dragon. He concealed his strength at Perfect Qi Refining and nonchalantly walked through the fog.

The Big Stupid Deer, meanwhile, moved slowly underground.

“Look there, it’s someone from the Chaotic Sect!”

In the distance, a group of more than ten Demon Disciples, eyes gleaming like beasts that had spotted their prey.

“It’s just a Perfect Qi Refining. We’ll all attack together and destroy him!”

“Charge!”

The group surged forward.

“Seeking death…”

Ning Daoran let out a low growl, “Old Lu, slaughter them! Don’t leave a single one!”

Speaking, he raised his left hand and took out the True Feather Fan, poured his Foundation Establishment Power into it, and swung out a blaze of Fierce Flames, instantly burning seven or eight Demon Disciples to screams and leaving nothing but charred skeletons!

“Aoo, aoo~~~”

The Big Stupid Deer raced underground while on the surface, a series of Ice Cones sped through the air!

“Ouch, damn it… what the heck is this?”

The Demon Disciples were shocked, their bodies were pierced by ice cones in the blink of an eye, covered in blood and bone!
