Cultivation Starting from Full Talent-Chapter 683 - 681: Divine Leaf Sect

"Boom~~~"

After ten exchanges, Ning Daoran’s unimpeded first spear finally struck down on the Kui Beast’s head. Accompanied by the fierce impact of the strike, the scales atop the Kui Beast’s skull flipped upward one by one, blood spattered everywhere, and a buzzing sound echoed from its cranium.

The Big Green Dragon that weighed 160,000 pounds, coupled with Ning Daoran’s Mixed Element Middle Stage blood qi power and the amplifying effect of the Dragon Demon Dojo—the force behind this spear truly reached a level of a million pounds. Even a Nascent Soul Late Stage demon beast couldn’t possibly withstand it!

"You filthy animals, how dare you—"

The Kui Beast still regarded itself as the Holy Beast of some North Sea Cultivation World sect, believing its dignity shouldn’t be sullied in such a manner!

But Ning Daoran paid no regard to these words.

"Suppress it! Don’t let it fight back!"

At once, Big Stupid Deer dashed forward on the ocean’s surface, lowering its head. Its brilliant antlers rapidly transformed, resembling an exceedingly dense cluster of thorns as it rammed sideways!

"Boom~~~"

As the Kui Beast howled in agony, half of its body was forcibly pinned down by Big Stupid Deer’s antlers.

Little Bai summoned countless thousand-year-old wooden stakes to tightly entrap the Kui Beast’s left leg.

"Stay still!"

Little Blackie coiled its long black dragon body, wrapping around the Kui Beast’s front legs and rendering them completely immobile.

"Bastard!"

The enraged Kui Beast bit down savagely on Little Blackie’s spine, instantly shattering dragon scales and sending blood splattering in all directions.

"That doesn’t hurt—bite harder if you dare!" Little Blackie, full of defiance, provocatively taunted.

Unable to watch any longer, Ning Daoran suddenly soared into the air. The second spear, the third spear, each pierced down upon the Kui Beast’s head consecutively.

Finally, on the fifth strike, the extremely tough cranium of the Kui Beast cracked open. Immediately, a Nascent Soul burst outwards, intending to escape far and wide.

Unfortunately, its attempt at spatial teleportation was instantly rebounded by the Ten Directions Forbidden Array!

"Don’t bother running—dying here isn’t too bad!"

Suspended in mid-air, Ning Daoran unleashed another spear, directly shredding the Nascent Soul into pieces!

The Divine Soul Blood Qi was not wasted either; it was greedily consumed by the opportunistic Little Qing!

"Collect!"

Ning Daoran summoned a force of mana, shrinking the Kui Beast’s body and storing it within his storage ring.

Fourth-order top-grade materials—this cannot be allowed to slip away!

"..."

Nearby, Mei Ruyu, a spectator to the battle, was left stunned and speechless.

She could scarcely believe that this fight between a Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator and a Nascent Soul Late Stage demon beast could be resolved within twenty exchanges, not even giving the Kui Beast much room to resist.

"Let’s go!"

After withdrawing Big Stupid Deer, Little Bai, and the others back into his Grotto Heaven, Ning Daoran unleashed a stream of mana, carrying Mei Ruyu as they streaked across the ocean.

...

Hundreds of miles away.

An Immortal Mountain stood amidst the sea. The lands surrounding the mountain had been shattered and sunken, leaving only the expansive Immortal Mountain resolutely intact. However, densely packed North Sea cultivators surrounded the area.

The crowd was actively attacking the Divine Leaf Sect’s grand array.

Inside the array, countless Eastern Wilderness Cultivation World cultivators were counter-attacking. The incessant roar of Spirit Light Cannons echoed across the battlefield, as the war of offense and defense raged on with undimmed intensity.

Ning Daoran soared over.

"Who goes there?"

A group of North Sea Golden Core cultivators simultaneously raised their heads to look at the figure in the sky above.

"Who told you to look up?"

Ning Daoran unleashed a crushing wave of spiritual pressure!

"Pfft, pfft, pfft~~~"

Blood spewed collectively from their mouths!

"Damn it, who are you?!"

A Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator brandished his sword and attacked, unleashing a brilliant stream of sword light!

With an icy gaze, Ning Daoran promptly used a Soul Suppressing Technique to disorient the Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator. In the next instant, a golden streak of sword light swept across, instantly decapitating him!

At this moment, Ning Daoran found it effortless to kill a Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator!

"Step aside! This individual’s power is extraordinary!"

Terrified, a group of North Sea cultivators exclaimed.

But Ning Daoran remained fearless. He had long since released his Nascent Soul Divine Sense, discerning that the strongest fighters on the battlefield consisted only of a few Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators from the North Sea Cultivation World—hardly a concern to him.

As far as the Nascent Soul Stage was concerned, he had nothing to fear.

Moments later, Ning Daoran ascended higher, heading towards the Four Spirits Reversing Wind Array outside the Divine Leaf Sect’s walls. He spoke in a commanding tone, "Fellow Daoist Golden Leaf, I am Ning Daoran of the Chaotic Sect. May I ask you to open the array and let me inside?"

"Oh!?"

On Divine Leaf Mountain, a man clad in golden robes paused in astonishment; he was none other than Golden Leaf True Monarch, the Divine Leaf Sect Master, renowned as the foremost cultivator of Jade Bottle Continent.

Upon hearing that the person who had just dispatched a Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator as easily as one might slaughter a chicken was none other than Chaotic Sect’s Ancestor—and knowing that several Chaotic Sect cultivators were currently in the mountain assisting the Divine Leaf Sect—the arrival of such a formidable ally was akin to receiving timely salvation!

"Fellow Daoist Ning, I shall open the array immediately!"

With that, Golden Leaf True Monarch lifted a corner of the array, allowing Ning Daoran to drift inside.

...

"Fellow Daoist Ning!"

Golden Leaf True Monarch approached swiftly, his face brimming with enthusiasm. "I had heard tell of the unfathomable cultivation of the Chaotic Sect’s Ancestor; witnessing it now, the rumors do indeed hold merit. My sincerest gratitude to Fellow Daoist Ning for coming to our aid!"

"Fellow Daoist Golden Leaf, no need for formalities."

Ning Daoran replied, "The various sects of the Eastern Wilderness Cultivation World share a common bond; when one is in trouble, all should come to their aid. It is only natural!"

"Indeed!"

Beside them, a breathtaking female cultivator nodded with a smile.

Clad in the Flowing Cloud Immortal Dress, her beauty was peerless, radiating the aura of Nascent Soul Middle Stage power. She performed a graceful bow and said, "This humble woman is True Monarch Wanhua, Deputy Sect Master of the Divine Leaf Sect and Fellow Daoist Golden Leaf’s junior sister."

"Ah, it is an honor, Fellow Daoist Wanhua."

Ning Daoran clasped his hands with a polite smile, "I apologize for my lack of courtesy."

"Fellow Daoist Ning, you don’t need to be so formal."

True Monarch Wanhua smiled warmly, "With the Divine Leaf Sect currently encircled and endangered by the North Sea Cultivation World, your assistance today makes you our benefactor!"

"Oh, it’s nothing."

Ning Daoran exchanged pleasantries before turning to observe the Four Spirits Reversing Wind Array under siege and remarked, "This formation..."

"Ahem..."

Golden Leaf True Monarch coughed awkwardly, "Fellow Daoist Ning may not know, but high-level formations in Li Country are exceedingly scarce; they cannot rival those in Xia Country or Sangyu Country Cultivation Worlds. This array was left behind by our ancestral master; without it, our mountain gate would have long since fallen." ƒrēenovelkiss.com

"The Four Spirits Reversing Wind Array is merely a Fourth-order Lower-grade Defense Array—it’s not particularly strong."

Ning Daoran furrowed his brow, "For this formation to hold until now, if my guess is correct, the array must have been ingeniously connected to the Divine Leaf Sect’s spirit vein and leveraged the sect’s qi fortune and geographical alignment for reinforcement, am I right?"

"Exactly!"

True Monarch Wanhua’s eyes sparkled with joy, "Fellow Daoist Ning is also so knowledgeable about formations?"

"Only a little."

Ning Daoran patted his storage bag and said, "I have with me a Void Returning Array, it’s Fourth-order Upper-grade, including seventy-two array flags and seventy-two array plates—crafted specifically for battles like this. If Fellow Daoists do not mind, may I enter the sect’s underground spirit vein to attempt linking this formation to your mountain’s geography and spirit veins to replace the failing Four Spirits Reversing Wind Array?"

"Wonderful!"

Golden Leaf True Monarch’s eyes lit up, "If you can achieve that... Fellow Daoist Ning would be a savior to my Divine Leaf Sect!"

"Fellow Daoist Golden Leaf flatters me."

Ning Daoran replied, "I’m merely doing what I can for the Eastern Wilderness Cultivation World. If permitted, I’ll start setting up the array now—which one of you will guide me?"

"I’ll take you."

True Monarch Wanhua said, "Senior brother, please continue to oversee the mountain gate. I’ll lead Ning Daoran to the sect’s mountain root."

"Alright!"

Golden Leaf True Monarch clasped his hands again, "Fellow Daoist Ning, I leave it to you!"

...

Later, beneath the Divine Leaf Sect’s secret tunnels.

Under the guidance of True Monarch Wanhua, Ning Daoran inspected the underground spirit veins of Divine Leaf Sect in detail, carefully surveying the mountain root and water currents with meticulous attention before sitting silently among the fallen leaves on the stone steps.

"Fellow Daoist Ning?"

Nearby, True Monarch Wanhua pursed her red lips and asked softly, "Have you made progress?"

"Hmm."

Ning Daoran retrieved an entire Void Returning Array set. Then, he began to refine several array flags and array plates on-site, modifying their spiritual patterns and configurations to align them with the sect’s mountain root and water currents.

Soon, the refinements were complete.

"Fellow Daoist Wanhua."

He spoke gravely, "Please deactivate all prohibitions of your sect’s mountain and water systems. I’ll proceed with the setup, and once finished, you may reactivate the prohibitions."

"Understood."

True Monarch Wanhua immediately injected a thread of mana into the control jade talisman. In an instant, the entire Divine Leaf Sect seemed to dim.

"Go!"

Ning Daoran consecutively cast spells; immediately, array flags and array plates flew out—some transformed into streams of light shooting deep into the mountain, while others traveled along hidden paths toward previously inspected spirit veins and mountain root locations. In the blink of an eye, all seventy-two flags and plates settled into their respective spots.

Ning Daoran retrieved a control jade talisman, infused it with mana, and commanded, "Activate!"

"Buzz~~~"

A thunderous sound roared from beneath, causing the entire Divine Leaf Sect to tremble. Moments later, an extraordinary grand array ascended, enveloping the entire sect!

...

"It’s done!"

True Monarch Wanhua was overwhelmed with joy.

"Let’s check the front mountain."

Ning Daoran transformed into a stream of light, with True Monarch Wanhua following closely behind.

At the front mountain—the most fiercely contested area.

North Sea cultivators continued their relentless assault on the array. However, the Four Spirits Reversing Wind Array had already disappeared, replaced by the Void Returning Array. Though both were Fourth-order arrays, the Void Returning Array was a dual-purpose offensive and defensive formation, capable of retaliating when attacked!

Thus, whenever North Sea cultivators unleashed mana toward the array, there was a chance the array would retaliate by releasing a bolt of void lightning!

"Pfft, pfft, pfft~~~"

Blood sprayed into the air in chaotic bursts. In mere moments, several North Sea cultivators were injured or slain by the array’s counterattacks!

"This is bad!"

One cultivator exclaimed in panic, "They’ve replaced the array!"

"Retreat! Everyone fall back!"

A Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator furrowed his brows and ordered, "Use the Spirit Light Cannons from a distance. Surround but do not attack! Let’s see how long their new array can hold!"

As masses of North Sea cultivators withdrew, the deafening roar of cannon fire took their place, launching streams of spirit light and bursts of explosions against the Void Returning Array.
