Cultivation Starting from Full Talent-Chapter 110 - 108: Evergreen Technique, Thirteen Layers!

Chapter 110: Chapter 108: Evergreen Technique, Thirteen Layers!

The news of the Great Elder’s Golden Core breakthrough swiftly spread throughout the Sect.

Lin Sheng, Lin Zhuojun, and others were exhilarated. If the Great Elder successfully formed his Golden Core, they would instantly become disciples of a Golden Core Cultivator, and their status and position in the Cultivation World would rise along with their master’s.

Furthermore, the Great Elder’s Core Formation had another significant implication.

With three Golden Core cultivators in one sect, the Chaotic Sect could ascend to the ranks of a first-class Sect.

Then, the Xia Country Court would recognize Chaotic Sect’s identity as a first-class Sect.

Naturally, Chaotic Sect could sit on an equal footing with the two giants, Sea Burning Sect and Soul Devouring Sect, and might even have the chance to acquire a top-tier spirit stone mine!

...

Several months later.

The news of the Great Elder’s successful Core Formation spread throughout the Sect!

…

In the evening, at Qiongbi Peak.

“Esteemed nephew, I am your Uncle-Master…”

The Great Elder’s voice came from outside, accompanied by the aura of a Golden Core emanating from beyond the Small Cloud Mist Array.

“Aiyah!”

Ning Daoran quickly dispersed the array and stepped outside, greeting him with a smile, “The arrival of a Golden Core Cultivator graces my humble abode…”

Cradling a jar of Spiritual Wine, the Great Elder laughed heartily, “Your Uncle-Master owes his Core Formation success in large part to your advice on cultivation techniques. Come, come, come, today I have come specially to drink to our heart’s content with you!”

“Uncle-Master, please come in!”

Ning Daoran personally took charge of cooking and, after preparing several dishes, enjoyed a hearty drinking session with the Great Elder.

Late at night.

The Great Elder’s face flushed with red, “Esteemed nephew, about this matter of the True Yang Furnace Technique…”

“Rest assured, Uncle-Master!”

Ning Daoran immediately slapped his chest and laughed, “Uncle-Master’s breakthrough to the Golden Core is due to his profound foundation. What qualifications does Ning Daoran have to offer guidance to you?”

“Ah hahaha~~~~”

The Great Elder was in high spirits, “Set your mind at ease, nephew. As for your talent in cultivation techniques, your Uncle-Master will not breathe a word of it. This serves as a gentleman’s agreement between us.”

“Agreed!”

Ning Daoran raised his cup, “To Uncle-Master’s words, I’ll drain the glass in one go!”

After eating and drinking their fill, the Great Elder stood up, laughing, “In a few days, it will be your Uncle-Master’s Golden Core celebration. You must attend, esteemed nephew. It’s not important whether you bring a gift or not, what’s important is that you show up.”

“Understood, Uncle-Master, don’t worry!”

…

Several days later, at Gongyang Yan’s Golden Core celebration.

The entire Chaotic Sect was immersed in a celebratory atmosphere, especially the disciples of True Yang Peak, who each took pride in the event.

Representing Qiongbi Peak, Ning Daoran attended and brought with him a Second Order Middle Grade Attack Spirit Artifact as a present. For a junior to offer such a gift to an elder, the gesture was considered remarkably generous.

Lin Sheng, Han Bing, Lin Zhuojun, and others only brought some elixirs, talismans, etc., which were not as lavish as Ning Daoran’s gift.

The fact that Ning Daoran “had money” was also taken for granted, as the fields of Purple Jade Spirit Rice sprawling across Qiongbi Peak were his source of spirit stones.

“Congratulations to Gongyang Daoist on achieving Golden Core Great Success! Congratulations to Chaotic Sect on ascending to first-class Sect status!”

Suddenly, a resonant and robust voice came from the foot of the mountain.

Cutting through the wind, several figures arrived swiftly.

They were people from the Court.

The leader was adorned in golden armor, with a gold-plated battle saber hanging by his waist, exuding such vigorous vitality that, if seen at night, he would resemble a blaze of fire.

Ning Daoran frowned; this person’s aura was worryingly strong, a Martial Artist in the Middle Stage of the Baodan Realm.

Such a person’s combat strength could rival that of a mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator and, if they got close, even mid-stage Golden Core Cultivators might face grave danger, inadvertently risking their lives.

“That Martial Immortal who guards Qingzhou has actually come…” Lin Sheng said with a frown.

“Senior Brother Lin knows him?” Ning Daoran asked via a transmitted message.

“Mhm.”

Lin Sheng transmitted back, “Back in the day, when the Grand Ancestor of Xia founded the age of prosperity, he agreed with the Ten Great Immortal Sects that the Court and the Sects would jointly govern the world, yet they would restrain each other.

Therefore, the Court established Zhenxian Towers in various places, as the name implies, to suppress and regulate Cultivators. And the overseer of the Zhenxian Tower in each state’s capital city is honored as the Martial Immortal.”

He raised his eyebrows, “This Chen Li is a middle-stage Baodan Realm Martial Artist, the only Martial Immortal in Qingzhou. He represents the Court. I did not expect him to personally visit to offer congratulations on our master’s Golden Core celebration.”

“I see…”

Ning Daoran nodded, without much further conversation.

“It’s an honor to have Martial Immortal Chen gracing us with his presence.”

Sect Master Jiang Yu advanced to exchange pleasantries.

“Greeting Fellow Daoist Jiang.”

Chen Li’s smile broadened as he said, “It has been many years, and Fellow Daoist Jiang is still as graceful as a fairy. Only I, alas, have grown old…”

“Martial Immortal Chen is in his prime, too modest,” Jiang Yu replied with a smile. “Martial Immortal Chen’s personal congratulations bring honor to our Chaotic Sect. Please, take a seat!”

Following Martial Immortal Chen Li, a group of colonels and officers from the Court also came.

These robust Martial Artists scanned around with an air of superiority, unabashedly flaunting their high status as they glanced over the Chaotic Sect disciples.

“Hmph!”

Lin Zhuojun transmitted, “A bunch of hawks and dogs raised by the Court, accustomed to acting high and mighty. Now that they’re here in our Chaotic Sect, they still exhibit the same behavior.

No wonder everyone says that the Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty has undergone drastic changes these years, nearly losing his mind over holding onto his power, even intending to make enemies with the major Sects.”

“Shh…”

Lin Sheng said, “Let’s speak less of such matters, lest we attract trouble.”

“Yes, Senior Brother speaks wisely.”

A few of them bowed their heads to eat, no longer bothering with the rights and wrongs of the world.

…

The celebration lasted for five days, but Ning Daoran stopped attending on the second day, continuing to plant Spirit Rice on Qiongbi Peak instead.

Several months later.

The Second Elder, Lin Xingyuan, had successfully achieved Core Formation, bringing the Chaotic Sect to the situation of having four Golden Core cultivators.

Sects like Sea Burning Sect, Soul Devouring Sect, Star Moon Pavilion, and Steel Gate Sect sent representatives to offer congratulations.

At this point, the Chaotic Sect’s standing in Qingzhou had risen sharply, enough to contend with the first-class sects such as Sea Burning Sect and Soul Devouring Sect!

However, it was still a far cry from the legendary Ten Great Immortal Sects.

These so-called Ten Great Immortal Sects were all presided over by Nascent Soul Old Monsters.

And it seemed as if the Chaotic Sect was still far from having a Nascent Soul, at least there was no sign of hope for now.

Ning Daoran focused solely on planting Spirit Rice, indifferent to the outside world’s disputes.

Even if one day the Chaotic Sect truly advanced to the Ten Great Immortal Sects, he would only be a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Outer Sect, skilled only in Spirit Plant Skill, not in fighting techniques.

Compared to other cultivators of the Chaotic Sect who could support a whole cultivation family upon reaching Foundation Establishment, Ning Daoran’s presence was extremely faint.

…

Time flew by swiftly, and five years passed in the blink of an eye.

This year, Ning Daoran was fifty-six years old.

Everything on Qiongbi Peak remained unchanged.

Ning Daoran and Big Stupid Deer diligently tended to the fields and cultivated every day, and his cultivation level was still at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

In the fish pond, the Big black fish had become a giant salted fish, spending its days leading its hundreds of Spirit fish “concubines” to patrol its territory.

Its cultivation remained at the First-tier Late Stage, with no signs of breakthrough, living a life of merely waiting for death.

Chen Weimo was, as always, ostensibly diligent in cultivation, but in reality, she was very playful, often standing on the back of the Big black fish as it sped back and forth in the pond, creating waves of laughter and joy.

“Sigh…”

In the early morning, Ning Daoran looked at Chen Weimo and the Big black fish in the fish pond and couldn’t help but sigh.

He had once promised Granny Yun Cui that he would protect Chen Weimo until the day she reached Foundation Establishment.

But not only was Chen Weimo dull in talent, but she also wasn’t actually that keen on cultivation.

She preferred this carefree life before her.

Ning Daoran did not pressure her too much to cultivate.

If she truly had no heart for cultivation, then letting her live out a happy life was perhaps not a betrayal of Granny’s expectations.

But all the things Ning Daoran should prepare for Chen Weimo were already ready.

A Top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill was the greatest support Ning Daoran could give to Chen Weimo.

‘It’s about time.’

He glanced at the Refining Time, having saved for five years amassing more than sixty thousand years, which was enough to attempt the breakthrough of the Evergreen Technique that would determine the foundation of his cultivation power.

In the secret chamber underground, within the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven.

Ning Daoran sat cross-legged, slowly closing his eyes, pouring the accumulated Refining Time into the Evergreen Technique.

[In the fifty-four hundredth year, you sat silently in the mountains for thousands of years, nurturing the Power of the Evergreen Technique within you like a pool of clear water, without a single ripple, causing you to fall into self-doubt.]

[In the twelfth thousand seven hundred and fifty-fifth year, flying creatures built nests above your head, hatching a brood of chicks. You remained motionless, seemingly becoming one with nature and the universe.]

[Despite the Evergreen Technique being so profound and difficult to understand, you never thought of giving up.]

[In the twentieth thousand and twenty-second year, you suddenly sensed a pulse from deep within the earth, the power nurturing endless life ignited a lamp in your heart.]

[Evergreen Technique. Earth-grade top quality (Twelfth Layer)]

“Phew…”

Ning Daoran exhaled deeply, reaching the twelfth layer—consuming twenty thousand years of Refining Time in total.

The consumption of the Evergreen Technique was indeed extravagant.

He frowned slightly and continued to cultivate. There was still plenty of Refining Time left, which should be enough to advance to the Thirteenth Layer.

[In the twenty-eight thousand five hundred and fifty-fifth year, as the eras changed, the forest where you sat began to wither away. After tens of thousands of years of weathering, the mountains eroded; the verdant lushness of this place faded to be replaced by a barren desert.]

[At this point, you began to lose the sensation of vitality in the world.]

[In the thirty-nine thousand four hundredth year, you sat in the desert, the breath of the Evergreen Technique within you continuing endlessly. You did not move an inch, longing to reclaim everything that had vanished—the forest and the fauna, which should not have perished so simply.]

[Your mind became somewhat disordered, and you often talked to yourself.]

[In the fifty thousand and forty-fourth year, a spark of Spirit light flashed in your mind, leading you to a deeper understanding of the Evergreen Technique. As your thoughts moved, an endless oasis spread from beneath your feet in all directions.]

[Life reappeared, and all things revived!]

[Evergreen Technique. Earth-grade top quality (Thirteen Layers)]

[Refining Time remaining: seventeen thousand six hundred and thirty-nine years]

…

Ning Daoran slowly opened his eyes.

Cultivating the Evergreen Technique to the Thirteenth Layer might already be a level rarely seen from ancient times to the present.

After all, he spent over seventy thousand years of Refining Time on the Evergreen Technique!

Looking through the ages, in the Eastern Wilderness Cultivation World, even the most exceptional geniuses, with the fastest cultivation Speed, would not have a Life Span of more than three thousand years, even if they entered the Divinity Transformation Stage.

Is three thousand years enough time to cultivate the Evergreen Technique to the Thirteenth Layer?

If someone actually achieved it, their Cultivation talent would indeed be enviable!

At this moment, as Ning Daoran scanned his body with Divine Sense, he saw the evergreen Magic Power within him was richer than ever, his entire body like a primordial forest brimming with life.

With the Thirteenth Layer of the Evergreen Technique, what changed the most was his Life Span!

At this point, Ning Daoran’s Life Span at the Foundation Establishment Stage had reached five hundred and twenty years.

What a perfect number.
