Chapter 373 -371: Deciding Superiority and Life or Death!
After the eradication of Poison Dragon Island, just as Ning Daoran predicted, the strategy of Shock the Mountain and Scare the Tiger worked wonderfully. Liufeng Island and Chigua Island suddenly quieted down, and for a long time afterward, there were no further actions.
Ning Daoran thoroughly immersed himself in the study of Spirit Turtle Inscriptions and started a prolonged period of seclusion.
Thus, in the cultivation, years passed in the blink of an eye, and in no time, ten years had flown by.
That year, Ning Daoran was 262 years old.
In front of the small wooden house in the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven, dressed in a cyan robe, his aura became even more eternally vibrant. Over ten years of refining and practice, both his cultivation and body refinement had improved significantly.
Aside from the Dragon Demon Heart Scripture advancing officially to the Sixteen Layers after years of refining, the research on the Spirit Turtle Inscriptions also finally bore fruit.
After repeated studies by Ning Daoran, he discovered that each of these Spirit Turtle Inscriptions contained vastly profound Ancient Profound Power, and upon attempting, he indeed succeeded in refining each character one by one.
“It’s done.”
He opened his eyes and slowly stood up.
“Young Master.”
Beside him, Little Bai pressed her red lips together. “Those Heavenly Book Seal Characters… have you truly comprehended them?”
Ning Daoran smiled lightly, raised his hand and pointed forward. Immediately, golden ripples surged, followed by four characters tearing through the air and stirring the Supreme Path’s spiritual sound in the space ahead.
The profound power hidden within the Spirit Turtle Inscriptions was deep and mysterious. After ten years of seclusion, Ning Daoran had only refined four characters: “Break,” “Annihilate,” “Demon,” and “Flame,” each containing different types of profound power. However, once Ning Daoran deployed these characters, they formed an extremely formidable offensive technique.
“Young Master really is an unmatched genius…” Little Bai smiled.
Ning Daoran glanced at her, his eyes expressing speechlessness, thinking to himself whether he was a genius or not, didn’t he know himself?
He lightly leaped, stepping out of the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven.
“Zhu Yue, how are things outside?”
“Reporting to Young Master, all is well.”
At this moment, Sui Zhuyue’s mana had greatly improved. It seems that although she had spent much time managing mundane matters on Flowing Flower Island over the ten years, her cultivation had not fallen behind.
“Young Master, over the past ten years, the business at Liu Hua Square has been prospering, and the Spiritual Rice and Spiritual Tea grown on Flowing Flower Island have been highly praised, having signed supply contracts with several trade associations in Kunpeng Immortal City, bringing in a significant amount of spirit stones each year.”
“Good.”
Ning Daoran nodded. “No movements from Flowing Flower Island?”
“None.”
Sui Zhuyue slowly shook her head. “My spies on Flowing Flower Island haven’t detected anything unusual. The Ancestor of the Zhao family has been in seclusion for eight years and shows no signs of emerging.”
“In that case, I shall further refine the Immortal Law.”
He stepped back into the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven, beginning to attempt refining more of the Heavenly Seal characters.
Sui Zhuyue twitched the corners of her mouth slightly, feeling a bit helpless inside. Ten years to emerge just once, and with a few words exchanged, he was again diving back into seclusion.
…
Flowing Flower Island, Island Master Cave Mansion.
A tremendous surge of Golden Core power swelled like a tide, initially as rising tide initially, very dense, but then it quickly began to ebb, and the ebbing trend accelerated, gradually showing signs of instability.
“Sigh…”
Deep inside the cave mansion, an aged Golden Core cultivator sighed, it was the Ancestor of the Zhao family.
Eight years in seclusion, yet unexpectedly, he still hadn’t broken through the shackles to reach that step, in this case…
He looked down at the storage bag on his waist, even if it could increase the odds by a tenth, the final likelihood of successfully forming a Nascent Soul was probably less than twenty percent, should he still try?
His lifespan was nearing its end. If the attempt to form a Nascent Soul failed, he would likely perish on the spot, not even getting the chance to entrust tasks to his descendants.
“Husband.”
A graceful figure entered the cave mansion, it was Nangong Rou, her delicate brows furrowed, full of concern. “How is it, still not going well?”
“Yes.”
The Ancestor of the Zhao family slowly nodded. “Rou’er, my chances of forming a Nascent Soul are extremely low, after all, I do not possess a Nascent Condensing Pill, and the likelihood of forming a Nascent Soul is less than thirty percent. Added to that, my Blood Qi is depleted, I fear once I attempt to form the Nascent Soul, there may be no turning back.”
“Husband, you’ve hesitated…”
Nangong Rou bit her red lips. “I’ve been with you for many years, yet this is the first time I’ve seen you like this.”
“Indeed, I am indeed troubled.”
The Ancestor of the Zhao family slowly rose to his feet, a murderous intent gradually surfacing in his eyes. He said, “If I fail in Nascent Soul condensation and pass away in meditation, what will you do? What will the descendants of the Zhao family on Liufeng Island do? In front of people like Ning Daoran, you all are like sheep without the slightest chance to resist. Therefore, I have decided to eradicate my inner demons before condensing my Nascent Soul and confront Ning Daoran!”
“What?!”
Nangong Rou was dumbstruck, “You want to kill Ning Daoran?”
“Exactly!”
The Ancestor of the Zhao family’s gaze was stern, “Our Liufeng Island and Liuhua Island have deep-seated enmities. Ten years ago, after Ning Daoran eradicated the Poison Dragon Island, he should have taken the opportunity to attack Liufeng Island, but instead, he went into seclusion. If I am not mistaken, this man is waiting. He had already foreseen that my lifespan is coming to an end, thus he plans to wait for me to pass away naturally or disintegrate, then seize the opportunity to devour everything on Liufeng Island.”
His eyes revealed a fierce look, “How could I just do as he wishes? He thinks I will take a risk and desperately attempt to rush the Nascent Soul stage. I specifically want to challenge him, Ning Daoran, before my Nascent Soul attempt, to grind his bones and scatter his ashes!”
As he spoke, the eyes of the Ancestor of the Zhao family were filled with ruthlessness.
“My husband, are you confident?”
“Rest assured, these eight years of seclusion have officially brought my cultivation to Perfect Golden Core, even to the extent that it could be called a Golden Core perfection unprecedented and unmatched. Ning Daoran is merely at the Golden Core Middle Stage. As long as he dares to accept the challenge, his death is certain!”
“Good!”
Nangong Rou clenched her silver teeth and suddenly recalled the humiliation repeatedly inflicted by Ning Daoran. Her eyes filled instantly with ferocity, she said, “I, your concubine, will bring the people of Liufeng Island with you to seek lessons from Liuhua Island!”
“No…”
The Ancestor of the Zhao family shook his head, “I alone will challenge Ning Daoran. The rest of you must stay on Liufeng Island and must not act rashly. This matter involves only my personal grievances with Ning Daoran and is unrelated to others. This way, even if I were to lose, you all might not necessarily suffer the misfortune of collateral damage.”
His gaze gradually softened, “Rou’er, as the matriarch of our Zhao family, you must endure and be patient. The future of Liuhua Island, as well as the descendants of the Zhao family, will need your protection.”
Nangong Rou lowered her head, not daring to meet his gaze, her eyes flickering between evasion and fierceness.
…
Days later, Liuhua Island.
A formidable Golden Core Late Stage aura entered Liuhua Island, it was Zhao Xianliang of the Zhao family, a Golden Core Ancestor, wearing a white robe, a hand placed behind his back, his demeanor naturally commanding. He immediately spoke out, his voice echoing across the entire Liuhua Island:
“Fellow Daoist Ning, I, Zhao Xianliang, have specifically come to seek guidance! Fellow Daoist Ning, you once killed the pride of my Zhao family, Zhao Xin, a matter I have always harbored in my heart. Now that I am on the verge of condensing my Nascent Soul, I intend to dispel this mental demon before my attempt. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Ning has the courage to accept this challenge?”
At that moment, everyone on Liuhua Island heard the voice of the Ancestor of the Zhao family.
Inside Liu Hua Square, numerous cultivators looked up into the sky, starting murmurs among themselves—
“The Ancestor of the Zhao family is challenging Island Master Ning?”
“Hmph, that old Zhao really has the audacity, an old man at the Golden Core Late Stage challenging a much younger Golden Core Middle Stage island master, and talking about mental demons, truly shameless to the extreme!”
“Fellow Daoist, your words are mistaken. Although Island Master Ning is young, he once jointly with True Monarch Du’e, slaughtered a Nascent Soul True Monarch’s physical body. Island Master Ning’s cultivation is far beyond what you could imagine.”
“I just hope our Island Master Ning achieves a swift victory, otherwise… Liuhua Island might face a drastic change. Nangong Rou of Liufeng Island and Huang Yihan of Chigua Island have always been covetously eyeing our Liuhua Island.”
“It’s just uncertain whether Island Master Ning has the courage to face this challenge. The opponent is a Perfect Golden Core, and with the many years the Ancestor of the Zhao family has immersed himself in various secret techniques, his cultivation is unimaginable!”
…
The comments of the crowd also reached the ears of the Ancestor of the Zhao family, who couldn’t help feeling somewhat smug and spoke out loudly again: “If Island Master Ning does not dare to accept the challenge, it’s also alright. Just hand over Liuhua Island and take your family and leave the Immortal Island. Keeping in mind the past contributions of Fellow Daoist to Xia Country’s Cultivation World, I will not pursue to the bitter end!”
Suddenly, those Loose Cultivators renting space in the Island Master Cave Mansion of Liuhua Island came out and, sensing the powerful Golden Core Power in the sky, could not help frowning:
“Has this old Zhao taken the wrong medicine today? He never acts like this usually, squeezing our island master like this, could it be that he’s really seeking death?”
“It’s said the Ancestor of the Zhao family is about to attempt the Nascent Soul, probably has seen some inner demons, thus his nerves are frayed.”
Although people talked like this, they actually hoped Ning Daoran would accept the challenge, as they were all guests on the island and had long considered themselves people of Liuhua Island, sharing its honor and disgrace.
More importantly, many cultivators secretly hoped to witness this battle between Golden Core Cultivators to refine their own cultivation.
…
“How so? Fellow Daoist Ning, have you, as the rumors say, raised a Green Water Turtle and become a turtle yourself, only capable of hiding on the island?”
The Ancestor of the Zhao family continued his mockery.
The next second, a soft “buzz” sounded, and a figure floated out from the Island Master Cave Mansion, clad in a green robe, carrying a long sword, his appearance handsome, like an 18-year-old spirited young man, it was Ning Daoran.
“Fellow Taoist Zhao.”
He smiled faintly, “I’ve listened to Fellow Daoist Zhao’s furious barks for a long time, it would be impolite not to accept the challenge. To avoid damaging the houses on the island, let us head to the Wuwan Sea for this battle. This battle will determine not only the superior but also life and death, what do you think, Fellow Daoist?”
“These words are exactly what I intended!”

The Ancestor of the Zhao family stroked his beard and laughed wildly, his body twisting into a streak of golden tunneling light like thunder rushing toward the distance, saying, “Fellow Daoist Ning, I’ll wait for you at the sea!”
Ning Daoran immediately sank his body, turning into a streak of golden tunneling light along the horizon, speeding away.
For a moment, the Loose Cultivators on Liuhua Island, Liufeng Island, and Chigua Island were all excited, each one using their techniques to go to observe the battle, their figures like dense shooting stars in the night sky.
