Chapter 305: Chapter 303 Nie Shentong Entrusts His Legacy Chapter 305: Chapter 303 Nie Shentong Entrusts His Legacy “Hmph!”

Ning Daoran sneered, spreading his five fingers. Instantly, a blood-colored pagoda began spinning like a top in the air, rapidly enlarging to several meters tall. The bottom of the pagoda, like an abyss, sucked in the black meatball in a flash.

No need to say anything, directly sealed it on the first layer of the Soul Refining Tower and would study it afterward.

“Eh?”

At the top floor of the Soul Refining Tower, the White Sheep Demon Queen living in the attic loft couldn’t help but frown: “What is this? Ning Daoran, why did you even collect this thing into the Soul Refining Tower? Oh? Not right… This little thing is tricky. Tsk tsk, could it be the legendary Demon Tai Sui?”

“Demon Tai Sui?”

Ning Daoran was astonished: “What do you mean?”

“Hmph, this creature is born of heaven and earth, existing since the era when sages stood tall in ancient times, passed down from one generation to another, it can be called a demon among demons!”

“So, it’s very powerful?” Ning Daoran asked.

“Not really.”

The White Sheep Demon Queen scoffed: “Any devil head can easily crush it…”

“Then how is it a demon among demons?”

Ning Daoran’s face turned ferocious: “Have I not tortured you for too long?”

“You…”

The White Sheep Demon Queen really wanted to say “Just be a person,” but she dared not utter such words, so she casually spoke: “This Demon Tai Sui, like other Tai Suis, generally has weak fighting power and ranks at the bottom among the top-notch demon bloodlines. As you see, just by emitting demonic qi, the Demon Tai Sui can easily destroy a human clan’s Taoist lineage, a city, a sect; it’s somewhat evil, but its real fighting power is average, otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to subdue it.”

“That’s true.”

Ning Daoran nodded.

The White Sheep Demon Queen continued: “Where the Demon Tai Sui is formidable lies in the transformation of blood essence. Whether it’s flesh, Spirit Rice, materials, Spirit Fruits, and so on, as long as you feed it, it will continuously turn these things into Tai Sui Meat. Since it’s a Demon Tai Sui, it can at least transform into Blood Tai Sui Meat, and if you feed it good enough substances, it’s normal for golden Tai Sui Meat to grow, which is rich in essence qi and comparable to treasures like dragon liver and phoenix gallbladder.”

Ning Daoran was very tempted.

He hadn’t expected that by exterminating the towering Black Mushroom, he would actually gain a Demon Tai Sui. He had stumbled upon a treasure.

“That’s really nice.”

His lips curved into a light smile: “Alright, I’ll handle other matters first, then I’ll deal with you, take good care of yourself.”

He glanced at the black meatball that was suppressed at the bottom of the pagoda.

“…”

The black meatball’s pair of small black eyes also tearfully looked back at him, shuddering in fright. Ning Daoran’s gaze was too terrifying just now, giving the Demon Tai Sui a profound sense of dread. It had lived for tens of thousands of years, yet the look in the eyes of a divinity transformation old ghost could only be compared to this.

…

“Take!”

Ning Daoran spread his fingers, and array flags and array plates burst forth from the ground, drawn back into the Storage Bag under the guidance of the Evergreen Technique.

After retracting the Water Cloud Golden Bamboo Sword Formation, a hunched, frail figure lay by a charred tree root.

This person was Nie Shentong.

Now that the Demon Tai Sui had been subdued by Ning Daoran, the demonic qi on Nie Shentong’s body had dissipated with the wind. At this moment, he looked as though his life force had dried up, his internal Blood Qi extremely low, tumbling down from the peak of the Embracing Elixir Realm to the early stage of Blood Qi Realm, barely one breath away from leaving this world.

“Fellow Daoist Jianjia…”

Nie Shentong let out a wry smile, his face full of sorrow: “A great dream… I thought I could revitalize Dragon Martial Mountain with this demon, I thought I could see the peak scenery of the Mixed Element Realm, but I never expected it would be I, Nie Shentong, who destroyed the thousand-year Taoist lineage of Dragon Martial Mountain with my own hands.”

He leaned his head against the charred tree root, tears streaming down his face: “I, Nie Shentong, am indeed the thousand-year traitor of Dragon Martial Mountain, the thousand-year villain of Dragon Martial Mountain. My sins are irredeemable a hundred times over. It’s just a pity that the Taoist lineage, established by the ancestor for thousands of years, has been severed. Even if I descend into the underworld, how can I face them…”

“You don’t have to blame yourself too much.”

Ning Daoran squatted down, conjuring a wisp of the Evergreen Technique to extend Nie Shentong’s life slightly, and said: “Fellow Daoist Nie, you don’t have much time left. Up until this moment, are you still unwilling to hand over the complete Dragon Demon Heart Scripture to me?”

“What choice do I have?”

Nie Shentong gave a bitter smile and said: “I can hand over the complete Dragon Demon Heart Scripture to you, but… with my dying breath, I would like to make a deal with you and, by the way, do something for Dragon Martial Mountain to atone for my grave sins.”

“Please speak, Fellow Daoist.”

“Below the main hall, two hundred feet downward, there is a prohibition… Unlocking the prohibition will reveal a fourth-tier Demon Beast’s spirit bone, with the complete Dragon Demon Heart Scripture carved onto it… Fellow Daoist, please take care of this, Nie… is departing…”

Nie Shentong passed away.

After death, he turned into a withered, diminutive old man.

Ning Daoran felt somewhat emotional; no matter how splendid one’s life was, whether it was a grandmaster or an emperor above ten thousand people, in the end, they couldn’t escape a handful of earth.

He raised his hand and shot out a stream of Samadhi True Fire, turning Nie Shentong to ashes, and a gust of wind scattered them away.

It’s one thing to agree to his entrusted task; whether to bury him or not is another matter.

A person like Nie Shentong naturally does not deserve to be buried in the Ancestral Mausoleum of Dragon Martial Mountain!

…

Descending the mountain, he reached the main hall.

He released a spell for Earth Tunneling straight down twenty zhang deep, only to discover, indeed, a hazy Prohibition ahead. The Mana fluctuations of this Prohibition were extremely faint, hardly perceptible, little wonder he hadn’t noticed it the previous time he came to Dragon Martial Mountain.

Moreover, to bury a Cultivation Technique twenty zhang underground, Dragon Martial Mountain really went to great lengths.

The process of breaking the Prohibition was quite simple, taking just a few dozen breaths of time. The original Array Master who set up the Prohibition was nothing exceptional; in front of Ning Daoran, a Third-tier top-grade Array Master, such a Prohibition was merely Trivial skills.

Inside the Prohibition, there was a brocade box, which upon opening, yielded a segment of a Spirit bone.

As expected, the Spirit bone was engraved with dense lines of tiny characters; the upper part was the first half of the Dragon Demon Heart Scripture, and the lower part was the second half that Ning Daoran had long coveted.

With a single glance, he instantly scanned it into the Refining Time system, and the Dragon Demon Heart Scripture became a complete work, leaping to become a Heavenly-order Mid-grade Cultivation Technique!

In the entire Eastern Wilderness Cultivation World, such Grade Cultivation Techniques were almost at their peak.

Even the Mountain Suppressing Skills of the Ten Great Immortal Sects might not be stronger; for example, the Absolute Skill of the Liangyi Sect, the Liangyi Sword Technique, was of Heavenly-order Lower-grade Heavenly, even slightly inferior to the Dragon Demon Heart Scripture in Grade.

Actually, it was also because Dragon Martial Mountain had fallen.

If they could have a Mixed Element Realm Martial Artist in charge, they would probably already be a force to be reckoned with.

…

After securing the Spirit bone, he copied it once more.

As for the Spirit bone, it would be handed over to the Sect Leader when the time came to rebuild Dragon Martial Mountain.

Ning Daoran flew with the wind and returned to the sky above Ji City.

With the capture of the Demon Tai Sui, the huge black mushroom that had been entrenched in the City Lord Mansion of Ji City had already collapsed, and the black mycelium within the city had lost its Demonic Qi. They wouldn’t transmit infection any longer and even scattered with the wind quite quickly.

The gloom that had covered the entire Ji City was rapidly fading.

Should he let Su Chuanping, Su Mei, and the others return?

Ning Daoran frowned slightly, pondered for a while, and then decided not to. The current Ji City was a city without an owner, bound to attract the covetous eyes of various factions, and when that time came, the undercurrent would inevitably stir. With Su Chuanping’s strength, it might not be enough to keep the city secure; it would be better for him to find a stable livelihood in another calm city.

For a mid-stage Condensed Liquid Realm Martial Artist, feeding himself and his family would definitely not be an issue, especially since he still had half of the Dragon Demon Heart Scripture.

Therefore, Ning Daoran didn’t rush to catch up with the others and left Ji City, creating a Cave Mansion with scarcely any Spiritual Energy in a nearby mountain. After setting up Prohibitions, he began dealing with the affairs of the Demon Tai Sui.

“Buzz~~~”
The Soul Refining Tower spun around, and with a “plop”, the dark meatball fell to the ground, bouncing twice due to its strong elasticity.

“Master!”

The Demon Tai Sui sprang up instantly, respectfully acknowledging, “Little Demon has taken its place; any command from master will be carried out with all efforts by Little Demon, never to disappoint master.”

“Hmph…”
On the top floor of the Soul Refining Tower, the White Sheep Demon Queen sat at the edge of the tower, swinging her long legs, and smiled, “That wasn’t the attitude you had when chatting with me just now. Didn’t you say that a great man can bend and stretch, that in the future, once you attain true results, you wanted to make Ning Daoran your coachman?”

“Oh?”

Ning Daoran smiled slightly, “Is that so?”

“Absolutely not!”

Demon Tai Sui’s eyes bulged round, tears almost shooting out, “Master, please listen to Little Demon’s plead… Ah, no, let Little Demon explain. I have no second thoughts towards master; Little Demon is destined to serve the master like an ox or a horse for life. How could I possibly think of enslaving the master?”

“Enough, stop the empty talk.”

Ning Daoran frowned and said, “So, what the White Sheep Demon Queen said is correct; as long as you’re fed, you can produce Blood Tai Sui or even Golden Tai Sui, is that true?”

“It’s true.”

“So, you previously absorbed the Blood Food of all lives in Ji City…”

“That’s right, master!”

Demon Tai Sui’s eyes widened, “Does master need meat now? Little Demon had a fluke success and has absorbed a vast amount of Blood Essence. At least a few hundred catties of golden Blood Food can be produced for master. Would you like me to start growing it now?”

It sank its body and began to hold its breath.

“Grow what crap!”

Ning Daoran kicked and sent it flying with one swift movement.

“Pang~~”
Demon Tai Sui smashed into the rock face in a daze, and its rolling body quickly sprouted four legs, returning with a wagging tail and hanging tongue like a dog.

“Master’s kick was well-executed!”

“No more matters.”

Ning Daoran took out the Hornless Dragon Cauldron and placed it in front of him, breathed out a stream of Samadhi True Fire, which began to burn intensely, and said, “The Blood Essence of the Human Clan you absorbed before, I will certainly not make use of it, otherwise, I would become no different than a Demon Cultivator. Now, jump into the cauldron yourself. I’ll refine away all the Blood Essence you’ve absorbed before giving you any new food.”

“Yes, master! Little Demon obeys!”

Demon Tai Sui hopped and skipped into the cauldron, quickly laid down, materialized its hands to hold onto the cauldron walls, and even exhibited a comfortable expression.
