Chapter 316: Chapter 314 Heavenly Mechanism Peak Protection Technique

Chapter 316 -314 Heavenly Mechanism Peak Protection Technique

So easy.

Ning Daoran’s mouth curved into a faint smile. The Divine Thought Attack of the Soul Suppressing Book was truly powerful. The expression of the Late-stage Foundation Establishment Demon Beast as it left was incredibly bizarre, appearing completely dispirited.

“Hmm?”

Ning Daoran released his Golden Core Divine Sense and suddenly gained a revelation. He swiftly surged forward, unleashing a strand of the Evergreen Technique. Quickly, an object buried deep beneath the icy sands was wrapped by the power of the Evergreen Technique and rapidly broke through the ice.

It was actually a Ice Soul Divine Rock about the size of a fist!

Up until now, this was the largest one Ning Daoran had ever seen.

“Success!”

Without being greedy, he stored the Ice Soul Divine Rock into his Storage Bag, then swiftly turned back, waiting for the prohibition of the Forbidden Land to reopen and then concluding this rather dull and boring trial.

On the way back, flickering lights could be seen in the distance, and the figures of Inner Sect Disciples appeared continuously.

Ning Daoran was slightly surprised. His Golden Core Divine Sense suddenly detected two breaths that were rapidly weakening, almost on the verge of disappearing.

After flying tens of miles to the left, he saw two figures standing in the Cold Wind, their bodies rigid, encased in a thick layer of frost. Under their arms and crotches, large chunks of ice crystals had already formed, and the intense low temperature swept through, extinguishing the last sparks of life inside their bodies.

Zhuang Xiang and Bao Lei actually perished in this place!

Ahead in the night, shadows flickered, and some chicken egg-sized Ice Soul Divine Stones were shining. However, those Ice Soul Divine Stones were scattered at the center of the “River Valley” in Second Gully, and at that moment, a cold chaotic current was passing through the valley!

Not only Zhuang Xiang and Bao Lei, but many Inner Sect Disciples had also turned into ice sculptures far away, with their life aura gradually fading.

Naturally, there were some with stronger cultivation, still urging the Nine Yang Furnace Divine Technique within them, picking up a few Ice Soul Divine Stones near the depths of the valley, then retreating promptly once they had enough.

The bitterly cold wind hit their faces.

Even Ning Daoran as a Golden Core felt slightly uncomfortable. Deep within him, the flame of the True Yang Furnace Technique flickered as if it greatly disliked this environment, so he no longer lingered, turning into a streak of light and leaving.

…

By early morning, the prohibition was reopened.

Clouds and mist flowed out, and strands of golden morning light poured into the valley, giving one a sense of rebirth.

Ning Daoran showed a weary look as he exited Cold Soul Valley with the rest of the Inner Sect Disciples. At this moment, less than half of the people had returned, with at least forty disciples having fallen within Cold Soul Valley.

“Is this all the people who returned?”

The Golden Core Elder in charge of the inspection frowned deeply.

“Reporting to uncle master, this is everyone,” an Foundation Establishment Disciple said.

“Sigh, so be it.”

That uncle master said: “Bring out the Ice Soul Divine Stones you have gathered, the Dao Palace will reward you based on your merits.”

“Yes, uncle master!”

A group of disciples brought out their findings, placing them on a spread-out piece of paper on the ground.

Ning Daoran also took out some Ice Soul Divine Stones, but he kept the fist-sized Ice Soul Divine Rock for later. In case disciples of the Chaotic Sect also cultivate the Nine Yang Furnace Divine Technique, unexpected issues could arise with excessive Fire Poison, so saving some Ice Soul Divine Stones was wise.

In the end, Ning Daoran ranked fifth among all disciples. Not too high, but also not too low, fitting for his status as a Qi Refining Ninth Level Disciple.

“Ning Cheng, are these all your findings?” asked a Deacon Elder.

“Indeed.”

“Good.”

The Deacon Elder collected the Ice Soul Divine Stones and took another look at Ning Daoran, saying, “You did quite well. Soon, there will be a sect reward delivered to your Cave Mansion, do not worry.”

“Many thanks, uncle master!”

…

In the afternoon, Ning Daoran sat alone in his empty Cave Mansion. Zhuang Xiang and Bao Lei would not be returning, and it seemed unlikely for other disciples to move in anytime soon.

“Is Master Ning there?”

A voice of a Deacon Elder came from outside, accompanied by two Law Enforcement Hall Disciples.

“Uncle master, I am here.”

“This is a Foundation Establishment Pill, a reward from the sect; take it.”

That uncle master handed over a small wooden box containing Elixir Pills, which held a Top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill. He smiled slightly, “You performed quite well in Cold Soul Valley this time. Cultivate well and prepare to establish your foundation!”

“Thank you, uncle master!”

Ning Daoran accepted the Foundation Establishment Pill, saw the uncle master off, then stared at the pill, somewhat in a daze.

The foundation of Fierce Sun Dao Palace was different indeed, casually handing out a Top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill as a reward to an “ordinary disciple” like him. Unlike the Chaotic Sect, where one had to wait every fifty years to enter the Cangnan Secret Realm and then collectively produce and distribute Elixir Pills, with those obtaining Foundation Establishment Pills being very few. Most Outer Disciples didn’t even get a chance to see a Foundation Establishment Pill.

After securing the Foundation Establishment Pill, Ning Daoran settled down in his Cave Mansion, deeply immersed in cultivation, constantly refining and tempering the Dragon Demon Heart Scripture with years of dedication.

Months later.

Inner Fire Feather Hall had many disciples banding together to apply for Cave Mansions, preparing for Foundation Establishment.

Ning Daoran also joined in under disguise among the crowd, applied for a Cave Mansion, then joined the other disciples in Foundation Establishment, using the power of the Golden Core to simulate an unremarkable Foundation Establishment scene, but in reality, he focused on cultivating the Dragon Demon Heart Scripture. After a hundred days of Foundation Establishment, he emerged from retreat together with a group of Inner Sect Disciples, displaying the aura of an Early-stage Foundation Establishment!

Days later, an Inner Sect Disciple arrived, and the Great Elder Feng Buhai summoned Ning Daoran to meet in the Inner Sect.

In the afternoon, with slight trepidation in his heart, Ning Daoran followed that Inner Sect Brother to the grand hall.

“Ning Cheng.”

Great Elder Feng Buhai, a senior wearing a deep red robe, emitted an aura at the Late Stage of Golden Core, seemingly only a step away from Nascent Soul. However, that step had eluded Feng Buhai for most of his life.

He looked at the young disciple before him and said, “You performed exceptionally well during the two trials in Cold Soul Valley, and now that you have achieved Foundation Establishment, it would be a waste of talent to keep you serving in Inner Fire Feather Hall. Would you be willing to go to Heavenly Mechanism Peak and become a Guardian?”

“…”

Ning Daoran furrowed his brow; the title of Guardian of Heavenly Mechanism Peak sounded prestigious, but in reality, it was only slightly better than an ordinary disciple, even the monthly allowance was the same as that of an ordinary Inner Sect Disciple.

There were seven or eight Guardians in Heavenly Mechanism Peak, responsible for patrolling the peak. In simple terms, they were the gatekeepers of Heavenly Mechanism Peak.

It was said that not long ago, a Demon Beast invaded Heavenly Mechanism Peak, resulting in the death of two Guardian Disciples, which was probably why the peak needed more people.

Nevertheless, Ning Daoran was not opposed to the idea.

The Peak Master of Heavenly Mechanism Peak was indeed the Vice Palace Master of Fierce Sun Dao Palace, Feng Yinghai. If he became a Guardian at Heavenly Mechanism Peak, he might get closer to the sixth chapter of the Nine Yang Furnace Divine Technique.

“Yes, your disciple obeys!”

“Very good.”

With a wave of his hand, Feng Buhai brought out an item, saying, “This is the Fifth Chapter of the Nine Yang Furnace Divine Technique. I heard you have just entered the Inner Sect and haven’t learned it yet, so here it is to supplement.”

“Great!”

Ning Daoran respectfully received the Jade Scroll with both hands, his face showing joy: “Disciple thanks the Great Elder immensely!”

“Go. Someone will escort you to Heavenly Mechanism Peak.”

“Yes!”

Ning Daoran turned to leave, led by an Inner Sect Deacon towards Heavenly Mechanism Peak.

“Hmph~~”

Inside the grand hall, Feng Buhai snorted softly. He had seen all the surprise and gratitude on Ning Daoran’s face when he received the Fifth Chapter of the Divine Technique. It was precisely this kind of joy that could make such a disciple wholeheartedly serve the Dao Palace, even if it meant death in their path.

This type of smile, Feng Buhai had seen too many times in his life, yet each time it gave him great satisfaction.

…

Heavenly Mechanism Peak.

A majestic peak standing amidst the clouds, the entire mountain enjoying a Fourth-tier level of Spiritual Energy, especially where the residence of Peak Master Feng Yinghai, with a huge Spirit Gathering Array buried underground, possesses a middle-grade Fourth-tier level of Spiritual Energy!

“Junior Brother Ning!”

A young man in a Foundation Establishment wearing a robe with red embroidered edges came over with a smile: “I am your Brother Lu, also one of the Guardians of Heavenly Mechanism Peak. Follow me; the Peak Master has prepared a residence for you.”

“Yes, thank you, Senior Brother!”

Ning Daoran’s residence was a temple embedded on the northern cliff edge of Heavenly Mechanism Peak. Not small, capable of accommodating several people, but it was too precipitous, located amidst the clouds, not suitable for someone with a fear of heights.

In fact, the duty of a Guardian at Heavenly Mechanism Peak was akin to security and gatekeeping. Hence, the location of the Cave Mansion being in such a precipitous position was understandable.

“Junior Brother Ning.”

Brother Lu stood floating in the air, exuding an aura of an Immortal, arms crossed, laughing: “Our Guardian Cave Mansions are all exposed outside. Actually, they can hardly be called Cave Mansions. But this Heavenly Mechanism Peak is situated right at the top of the Spirit Vein. Even these exposed Cave Mansions have a lower grade Fourth-tier level of Spiritual Energy. Ordinary disciples, let alone Inner Sect Disciples, would crave such a place but can’t obtain it.”

“Is that really so?”

Ning Daoran, with delight: “If that’s the case, then that’s really great!”

“Hahaha~~~”

Brother Lu let out several hearty laughs: “However, the position of Heavenly Mechanism Peak is too dangerous, and the Spiritual Energy is extremely abundant, which makes the Demon Beasts of Fierce Sun Dao Palace’s back mountain restless. Junior Brother, you must be cautious. If any Demon birds attack, you must immediately ring the bell in front of the temple, and we seven Senior Brothers will rush over to support.”

“Thank you, Senior Brother.”

“Alright.”

Brother Lu continued: “The duties of a Guardian of Heavenly Mechanism Peak are few. Patrol the peak every sunrise and sunset, and then guard the Cave Mansion. Ordinary Demon Beasts wouldn’t dare to come up. And, remember…”

He suddenly smiled meaningfully, pointing down towards the mountain “The servant room in Outer Mountain has many servant junior sisters, some of whom are strikingly beautiful. Junior Brother, if you are interested, you can choose a junior sister from the servant room to live with you, as long as there is mutual consent. With your looks… surely the servant junior sisters would agree. The long nights are endless, having a woman by your side who knows warmth and cold to sleep with would indeed be carefree and comfortable.”

“Oh?”

Ning Daoran’s worldview was somewhat overturned, and he couldn’t help asking: “Brother Lu, shouldn’t the practice of the Nine Yang Furnace Divine Technique require abstinence to prevent the leakage of Yang Energy?”

“Ah?”

Brother Lu was taken aback: “Who told you that? Disciples of Fierce Sun Dao Palace have never been averse to women. Even the Peak Master…”

He lowered his voice, smiling: “Once had a Daoist couple, and even fathered a little junior sister, very beautiful indeed.”
