Cultivation Starting from Full Talent-Chapter 647 - 645: Farewell

Ning Daoran paused for a moment of silence; it turned out that it was his own cultivation that was holding him back.

It seems that this breakthrough matter must be accelerated, to advance to the Nascent Soul Mid-stage as soon as possible! But because of my deep foundation, the breakthrough becomes even harder; sometimes he feels that this is a curse from the Heavenly Dao on such a naturally gifted person like himself...

Currently, I do not meet the conditions for advancing to the Nascent Soul Mid-stage, but if I take a trip to the Star Sea Divine Domain, perhaps the Nascent Soul Mid-stage will become achievable!

Thus, Ning Daoran began to plan the journey to the Star Sea Divine Domain.

...

In the afternoon, he visited City Lord Ning Tianyi.

"Star Sea Divine Domain..."

Ning Tianyi, holding a cup of spiritual tea, looked puzzled: "How did Young Friend Ning learn of this place?"

"Is there really a Star Sea Divine Domain?"

"Indeed."

Ning Tianyi said, "However, the Star Sea Divine Domain is an extremely mysterious place. Not only do you have to cross the entire Endless Demon Sea, which is extremely perilous, but also it is very difficult to find the entrance."

He frowned and said, "Once, a Golden Core cultivator lost his way while steering a spirit boat in the Endless Demon Sea, inadvertently entering a narrow sea area, and then entered that peach-blossom-filled Star Sea Divine Domain. He landed on an immortal island in the Divine Domain and saw that the people there lived in great harmony, with well-connected paths, happy roosters and dogs, with men and women cultivating, relaxedly content. They were surprised to see this Golden Core cultivator and asked where he came from, learning that there was an Eastern Wasteland cultivation world outside. The Golden Core cultivator was warmly welcomed, with feasts every day and fairies dancing and singing. He was given plenty of elixir pills and cultivation techniques and returned to Guiru City from the Star Sea Divine Domain. Decades later, when he wanted to revisit, he found he could not find the original path again, as if the Star Sea Divine Domain never existed. Of course, this is a very mysterious story; I have only heard about it and have not truly visited the Star Sea Divine Domain myself."

"Such a familiar story..."

Ning Daoran, somewhat speechless, said, "I coincidentally obtained a sea chart that vaguely marks the location of the Star Sea Divine Domain, so I want to try my luck."

"Ah?" freewebnoveℓ.com

Beside him, Ning Mingyu spat out a mouthful of spiritual tea: "Brother wants to leave Guiru City?"

"That’s right,"

Ning Daoran said, "Mingyu, you forget, I was originally a Loose Cultivator, called Independent Practitioner Jianjia. The reason I’m called ’Independent Practitioner’ is due to my free-spirited nature, very hard to stay in one place for too long. I’ve already stayed in Guiru City for forty years; it’s time to leave."

"But..."

Ning Mingyu bit her red lip, reluctant.

"Mingyu,"

Ning Tianyi said, "Gatherings and separations are normal. No need to be too persistent. Whether Young Friend Ning leaves or comes to Guiru City, it should all follow the natural course and not be forced."

"Yes, father..."

Ning Mingyu wilted instantly.

"So, Young Friend Ning came to see this old man this time for what reason?"

"For the Sea Dragon Immortal Boat,"

Ning Daoran took out a total of ten heavy storage bags and said, "Each of these storage bags contains a million spirit stones. I wish to purchase a Sea Dragon Immortal Boat from Guiru City. Only the Sea Dragon Immortal Boat can withstand the tempest within the depths of the Endless Demon Sea. I hope the City Lord can grant me this favor."

"Oh?"

Ning Tianyi, without hesitation, raised a wave of mana to push all the storage bags back and said, "Young Friend Ning underestimates me, Ning Tianyi. Frankly, if it weren’t for Young Friend Ning and the trial with Nine Hells’ Emperor, I and everyone else would have perished in Jiuyou City, and the Eastern Wasteland Cultivation World would certainly have been implicated. Can the grace of Young Friend Ning to Guiru City be compared to a mere Sea Dragon Immortal Boat?"

Saying this, he looked at Ning Mingyu, "Mingyu, why not give your Sea Dragon Immortal Boat as a farewell gift to your sworn brother?"

"Alright!"

Ning Mingyu, without hesitation, said, "I will give my Sea Dragon Immortal Boat to brother as a gift. If I go out to slay monsters again later, I’ll use my father’s blue Sea Dragon Immortal Boat!"

"..."

Ning Tianyi’s mouth twitched, then said, "Someone, retrieve the young lady’s Sea Dragon Immortal Boat."

"Yes, City Lord!"

Not long after, Longque Wanderer came with two followers and took out the Sea Dragon Immortal Boat from a storage bag for delivery.

Upon receiving it, Ning Daoran said respectfully, "Thank you, City Lord. I will never forget the City Lord’s kindness."

"Why be so formal? You are Mingyu’s sworn brother, we’re already like family."

"Yes!"

"What, Brother Ning is leaving?" Longque Wanderer was shocked.

"That’s correct,"

Ning Daoran sighed and said, "Having stayed in Guiru City for forty years, it’s time to go out and see the outside world. Brother Long Que, if fate allows, we shall meet again."

"So, be it..."

Longque Wanderer bit his teeth and took another immortal boat from his bosom and said, "This Immortal Boat was crafted by a friend of mine. Though it’s far from as stable and sturdy as the Sea Dragon Immortal Boat, it is enough to cross the Endless Demon Sea. Brother Ning, consider this as a spare; it is a token of my regards."

"How can this be?"

Ning Daoran was astonished. This Immortal Boat seemed quite valuable, and Longque Wanderer was only a house servant at the City Lord Mansion, not considered a wealthy cultivator.

"Take it!"

Longque Wanderer’s gaze was firm: "Unless you refuse to acknowledge me as your elder brother."

"Then..."

Ning Daoran reluctantly accepted it.

He actually understood in his heart that Longque Wanderer gave the Immortal Boat as a token of gratitude for many life-saving instances in the Endless Demon Sea. If it weren’t for Ning Daoran’s help, Longque Wanderer would have died countless times over in the Endless Demon Sea, and if not for Ning Daoran repeatedly ensuring Ning Mingyu’s safety, Longque Wanderer would certainly face accusations of negligence—although Ning Tianyi wouldn’t kill him, it’s certainly a situation he wouldn’t want to face.

"Thank you, Brother Long Que!"

Ning Daoran clasped his hands and said, "Until we meet again, may you have already achieved Divinity Transformation, Brother!"

"Good!"

Longque Wanderer laughed while clasping his hands, "Thank you for your auspicious words!"

He knew well that by the time they met again, Ning Daoran would likely have already achieved Divinity Transformation, something destined for such a prodigious talent as Ning Daoran, whereas Longque Wanderer might scarcely, even straining his foundation, find such an opportunity. Reaching the Nascent Soul Late Stage itself is already very difficult.

...

In Ning Daoran’s Cave Mansion in Guiru City.

"Fellow Daoist Ning is leaving?"

Jade Marrow Immortal shuddered; Ning Daoran’s words were hard for her to accept.

"Indeed."

Ning Daoran smiled, "I’ve stayed in Guiru City for several decades; it’s time to leave. After all, my cultivation is planned, and I don’t want to stay in one place until I’m old."

"But..."

Jade Marrow Immortal bit her red lip, hesitated to speak, and finally said after a while, "So be it. If that’s the case, I can only wish Fellow Daoist Ning the immortal path evergreen and a smooth journey."

"Thank you, Yusui,"

Ning Daoran took a deep breath, "During my short forty years in Guiru City, having you by my side has been a blessing. These years... I have been very happy!"

"Is that so?"

Jade Marrow Immortal smiled softly: "Honestly, Fellow Daoist Ning, I’ve been very happy too during our time together."

She was exceedingly gentle and said softly: "If fate allows us to meet again, I hope I can taste your cooking once more, and by then, my tea art will surely be even more exquisite!"

"Cough, the tea art..."

Ning Daoran nodded, "The tea art is indeed fine, girls should learn good tea art..."

Jade Marrow Immortal covered her mouth and giggled; even though she didn’t understand what Ning Daoran was implying, she still found it quite interesting.

...

The next morning, the sun was just right.

A Sea Dragon Immortal Boat appeared in the harbor of Guiru City. At this point, the boat had already been registered in Ning Daoran’s name. A group of Paperfolk served as the crew, ready to leave Guiru City for the Star Sea Divine Domain.

"Brother~~~"

Ning Mingyu held his wrist, reluctant to let go.

Ning Daoran felt a bit speechless.

Jade Marrow Immortal got drunk yesterday in Ning Daoran’s Cave Mansion, with rosy cheeks, and that scene lingered in his mind, so today Jade Marrow Immortal did not come for the farewell, which was no surprise.

Moreover, Ning Daoran believed that Jade Marrow Immortal didn’t want to face the farewell, which was why she didn’t come to see him off.

"Brother Ning!"

In the air, two streaks of tunneling light came from the city, it was True Monarch Du’e and True Monarch Liu Yun.

"Fellow Daoist Ning, where are you heading this time?"

"On the path of cultivation, direction does not matter."

Ning Daoran laughed, "This time, I might be looking for a place called Peach Blossom Garden, who knows."

True Monarch Liu Yun giggled, "Indeed, Fellow Daoist has always been free-spirited, the world is vast, you can go anywhere."

Ning Daoran clasped his hands with a smile, "Fellow Taoist Liu Yun, may you still be youthful and beautiful when we meet again and have already advanced to a Fourth-tier High Grade Array Master."

"I’ll do my best!"

True Monarch Liu Yun clenched her pink fist, showing her determination.

"Brother Ning!"

True Monarch Du’e said, "When will we meet again?"

"I feel there is no need to ask this question,"

Ning Daoran smiled, "Whether I want to meet you both or not, we will always meet when the time is right, right? Our fate together doesn’t need more words."

"Hahaha, exactly so!"

True Monarch Du’e laughed heartily.

True Monarch Liu Yun also covered her mouth and smiled.

All three were Nascent Souls from Xia Country, and True Monarch Du’e and Ning Daoran were significant members of the Slaying Immortal Tower; indeed, their chances of encountering each other were very high.

The Eastern Wasteland Cultivation World is only so large; once something major happens, the three of them could reunite.

"Off I go!"

Ning Daoran stepped onto the deck, turned and clasped his hands toward everyone.

"Anchor up! Set sail!"

"Brother!"

Ning Mingyu leapt onto the boat with an arrow’s speed and hugged Ning Daoran tightly, crying messily.

"Alas..."

Ning Daoran gently patted her back, "Mingyu, you are a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator, maintain your image. Alright, go back. If I pass through Guiru City in the future, I will definitely visit you."

"Mhm!"

Ning Mingyu, tearful, said, "Brother, remember, if you don’t come to me, I will come to you."

"Alright!"

Ning Daoran watched Ning Mingyu fly into the air, and clasped his hands towards everyone again in farewell.

...

The Sea Dragon Immortal Boat headed into the depths of the Eastern Sea, the sails billowing and fluttering in the wind. Ning Daoran sat at the bow with his back to the farewell crowd, took out a jug of spiritual wine, gulping it down, suddenly felt the pain of parting.
