Chapter 324: Chapter 322 Thunder Swamp

Chapter 324 -322 Thunder Swamp

Three years have swiftly passed.

Ning Daoran spent his days in Quiet Heart Courtyard in utter tranquility. Despite Meng Yuliang’s frequent snide remarks aimed at instigating trouble, Ning Daoran remained unmoved and focused solely on cultivating the Evergreen Returning to Origin Technique.

The fire poison in Feng Jingshan’s body had not been wholly expelled by the blood replacement technique, and Divine Doctor Xue’s methods only treated the symptoms, not the root cause. Over the past three years, the frequency of fire poison outbreaks increased, and although none were as severe as before, each incident left Feng Jingshan in excruciating agony—Ning Daoran could sometimes even hear Feng Jingshan’s pained moans from inside his room.

At this time, both Ning Daoran and Xu Baisheng’s Evergreen Returning to Origin Technique had simultaneously advanced to the Fourth Level.

However, Feng Yinghai felt that waiting for them to reach the Fifth Level of the Evergreen Returning to Origin Technique was no longer viable. Therefore, he planned to lead the disciples to a Secret Realm known as the “Desert Sea Ruins,” in search of a spiritual medicine called “Beidou Heart-saving Herb.”

The Beidou Heart-saving Herb, inherently cold, could stabilize the heart meridians and prevent the fire poison from attacking the heart, potentially prolonging Feng Jingshan’s life until they could cultivate the Evergreen Returning to Origin Technique to the Fifth Level.

…

A few days later, a newly reforged Fiery Sun Flying Boat soared into the sky, with Feng Yinghai personally leading the disciples to the Desert Sea Ruins, while Great Elder Feng Buhai looked after Feng Jingshan atop Heavenly Mechanism Peak.

The Fiery Sun Flying Boat buzzed around, piercing through layers of clouds, heading towards the Northern Cold Land.

“This is the Beidou Heart-saving Herb.”

Feng Yinghai produced a chart depicting the herb and said, “Originally, I could have undertaken this task alone, but the Desert Sea Ruins are vast, and it would be difficult for me alone to find the Beidou Heart-saving Herb. Remember, whoever finds the Beidou Heart-saving Herb will be handsomely rewarded by me!”

“Master, the matter of saving our young junior sister concerns us all…” Xu Baisheng said.

“Hmm.”

Ning Daoran and Fu Yan also nodded in agreement.

Feng Yinghai’s face showed a trace of gratification, and he continued, “In any case, be cautious after entering the Desert Sea Ruins. The Secret Realm is filled with dangers. You should not seek other opportunities; get the Beidou Heart-saving Herb and leave the realm immediately to avoid unnecessary injuries.”

“Yes, Master!”

About ten days later, the Fiery Sun Flying Boat entered a world of ice and snow.

This icy and snowy area was not even marked on the maps of the Eastern Wasteland Cultivation World. Ning Daoran frowned, calling it the North Pole of the Eastern Wasteland Cultivation World, considering the Fiery Sun Flying Boat’s incredible speed had still taken ten days of flight, indicating it truly was in the far north.

“We have arrived.”

Feng Yinghai leapt from the flying boat onto the ice, instantly crushing a dense array of prohibitions under a powerful Nascent Soul pressure, and soon a crack leading to a Secret Realm appeared before them.

“Remember.”

Feng Yinghai spoke sternly, “The entrance I have opened can only be maintained for two months. Whether or not you find the Beidou Heart-saving Herb within that time, you must leave this place, otherwise, you will be trapped forever in the Desert Sea Ruins.”

“Yes, Master!”

“Let’s go.”

After entering the Secret Realm, Feng Yinghai transformed into a streak of red tunneling light, flying towards the deepest parts.

Xu Baisheng also soared up, turning into a golden streak of light attempting to explore in another direction.

The remaining were three Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators.

“Junior Brother Fu, Junior Brother Ning, we all are at the Foundation Establishment stage, so there is no need to split up. If we join forces, our chances of exploring the Secret Realm are much greater. What do you two think?”

Meng Yuliang looked at the two, saying, “If we encounter any danger, we can also come to each other’s aid promptly.”

“Alright.”

Fu Yan nodded in agreement.

Ning Daoran did not express any objections.

Thus, the three of them turned into three streaks of green light, exploring in another direction.

…

Three days later, the trio entered even colder, icy terrain. Even Meng Yuliang and Fu Yan had to invoke the Nine Yang Furnace Divine Technique to resist the cold, while Ning Daoran used the power from the Evergreen Technique to cope.

Ahead, an unfathomably deep and seemingly endless ice chasm appeared.

“This is the Ice Chasm within the Desert Sea Ruins…”

Meng Yuliang looked at the vast expanse of whiteness ahead, saying, “Let’s rest for a bit and recuperate our mana. Once recovered, we’ll enter the ice chasm together. What do you two junior brothers think?”

“Agreed.”

Ning Daoran and Fu Yan nodded together.

Thus, Fu Yan started a bonfire”}}>

in a nearby cave to roast some meats, planning to rest briefly before venturing into the depths of the ice chasm.

Ning Daoran excused himself to survey the landscape briefly.

Meng Yuliang took out a bottle of Spiritual Wine, having a few drinks with Fu Yan, and by the time Ning Daoran returned, he had already been replaced by a lookalike Paperfolk.

As for his real body, it had already transformed into the appearance of Independent Practitioner Jianjia, entering the ice chasm ahead of time.

A Secret Realm as secretive as the Desert Sea Ruins generally circulated among Nascent Soul cultivators, unheard of by Golden Core and Foundation Establishment cultivators. Ning Daoran had not heard of it before either, and given such an excellent opportunity, he could not afford to waste it and needed to thoroughly explore!

Soon after, the three of them arrived at the edge of the ice chasm.

“Junior Brother Ning.”

Meng Yuliang’s mouth curled into a smile: “How did the survey just now go? How deep is this Ice Chasm exactly, and what is the concentration of Spiritual Energy below? Does it affect us, Foundation Establishment Cultivators, in any way?”

Ning Daoran walked to the edge of the Ice Chasm, smiled, and said, “It’s not too deep, no worries, it does not affect us Foundation Establishment Cultivators much.”

“That’s good then, please Junior Brother Ning, you go down first.”

In that instant, Meng Yuliang suddenly attacked, a blood-colored thin sword “puchi” sound drilled out from Ning Daoran’s chest, the sword was flaming fiercely, instantly burning off the blood sprayed by Ning Daoran.

“Meng Brother, you…”

The Class A Paperfolk turned around, looking incredulously at Meng Yuliang.

“Go down.”

Meng Yuliang heavily kicked the Class A Paperfolk into the cold abyss.

“Senior Brother Meng!”

Fu Yan felt like his scalp was about to explode, his eyes filled with disbelief as he stared at the other: “You…you…why did you kill Junior Brother Ning!?”

“Why?”

Meng Yuliang sneered, “Before this person came to Heavenly Mechanism Peak, master’s efforts were almost evenly distributed among us three brothers. After he came, only he and the Great Brother remained in master’s eyes. Junior Brother Fu, don’t you understand? This is the legendary obstructive hatred. Even mortals understand the principle that blocking one’s path is akin to murdering someone. Don’t you understand, after so many years of cultivation, how obstructive hatred and blocking someone’s path are the same?”

“But… but you can not kill him!”

Fu Yan slowly raised his hand, a top-grade spiritual tool already in grasped, angrily said: “Meng Yuliang, you are too unscrupulous, I, Fu Yan, refuse to be in league with someone as beastly as you!”

“If that’s the case, please Junior Brother Fu, go to death together as well.”

Meng Yuliang’s face showed a sneer: “Since Junior Brother Fu is so partial to this Junior Brother Ning, then go to the Netherworld together.”

“You…”

Fu Yan’s gaze turned icy.

“Junior Brother Fu, you surely didn’t think that the Spiritual Wine I just offered you had no manipulations?”

Meng Yuliang took out a jade bottle from his bosom, smiling said: “I mixed odorless and tasteless Seven Flower poison in the wine. It’s not lethal, but enough to hinder the Mana circulation of any cultivator below the Golden Core Stage for a short time. It’s a pity, Junior Brother, you are not at the Golden Core Stage, otherwise the Seven Flower Poison wouldn’t affect you at all, but now… Junior Brother, accompany Ning Cheng in death, with both of you dead, Master has no choice but to rely on me, Meng Yuliang, right?”

“You beast!”

Fu Yan roared angrily.

The next second, a thin sword swept by, slicing open a bloody line on Fu Yan’s throat, and he was also kicked into the abyss by Meng Yuliang.

…

Deep within the Ice Chasm.

…

Ning Daoran, dressed in blue robes, remained silent.

The death of Class A Paperfolk, he received all the memories of its soul; unfortunately, the distance was slightly too far, even if he wanted to save Fu Yan, he was powerless.

This probably was also Fu Yan’s fate; how could such a good person ever dance with wolves?

Meng Yuliang couldn’t be considered a good person, Feng Yinghai was the same, both were unscrupulous in order to achieve their goals.

“Junior Brother Fu, fare thee well…”

He sighed, not wanting to dwell on the dark deeds of others anymore, regarding Meng Yuliang, not in a hurry to deal with him, if he seeks him out then he will take him down in passing, if not, he would deal with it later.

At this moment, Ning Daoran’s attention was entirely on the depths of the Ice Chasm, though he felt it silent like an ancient glacier with almost no vitality, beneath the Ice Chasm, there was an extremely restless aura surging.

Days later.

Ning Daoran followed a fracture in the Ice Chasm downwards for thousands of feet, finally discovering the source of the restless aura he had sensed before, that was beneath the Ice Chasm— a scene interwoven with purple and deep blue lights, it was a Thunder Swamp about an acre in size!

From a distance of several tens of feet, Ning Daoran could still feel the surging of Thunder Attribute Essence Qi within the swamp.

At this moment, a wild thought uncontrollably rose in his heart!

If he used this Thunder Swamp to temper the body he cultivates with the Dragon Demon Heart Scripture, would there be new gains?

Not to say anything else, the body does not lie, at the moment his body was yearning for the Thunder Swamp, quite eager to enter and temper itself!

No, there’s something else!

Ning Daoran’s brow furrowed as he used the Grey Eyes Technique to look towards the icy depths beside the Thunder Swamp, and immediately saw a pair of purple eyes slowly opening. Following that, a tremendous aura of a Demon Beast surged from the depths of the Ice Chasm!

“Squeak squeak squeak~~”

The ice layer continually cracked and bulged as the Demon Beast was breaking through the barrier.

Ning Daoran raised his hand to retrieve the Big Green Dragon; he had seen the appearance of this beast in the Ten Thousand Beasts Atlas.

Thunder Beast, a kind of mutant beast with a natural Thunder Attribute, extremely rare, due to its intrinsic mutant attribute, a Thunder Beast in the Eastern Wasteland Cultivation World is highly prized; even a first-tier Spiritual Beast Level Thunder Beast was invaluable.

In Qingfu Square of Qingzhou City, there was once a Thunder Beast on sale, at First-tier Middle Stage, the price reached a high of eighty thousand Spirit Stones auctioned off, reportedly it was tamed by the Princely Heir of a Nascent Soul Family.

Such a mutant beast, a Sect as financially constrained as Chaotic Sect couldn’t even dare to dream of it!

Ning Daoran, while reminiscing about how poor he was in the past, watched the Thunder Beast breaking through the ice. This one was at Third-tier Late-stage, unfortunately already solidified, couldn’t be sold out nor would anyone dare to buy it.
