Cultivation Starting from Full Talent-Chapter 91 - 89 Green-clothed Lady (Thanks to the Alliance Leader of Serene Without Wind!)
Chapter 91: Chapter 89 Green-clothed Lady (Thanks to the Alliance Leader of Serene Without Wind!)
Deep into the night.
A hunched old woman quietly left Qiongbi Peak with a vine ball in her arms, which housed Ning Daoran and Big Stupid Deer.
This woman was naturally a Paper Substitute refined.
Ning Daoran only planned to stealthily resolve his arch-enemy; he never even considered gaining fame and glory by killing the Green-clothed Lady.
The ultimate rule for survival in the Cultivation World—lower one’s profile, be subdued; this can never be changed.
Even now that he had reached Foundation Establishment, he could not forget his initial resolve, for if he became too complacent and lost himself in pride, he might accidentally capsize in some minor ditch.
...
The Cultivation World is fraught with dangers; one must be careful whenever it’s possible. Ning Daoran had heard of a group of Qi Refinement Realm organizations exploring a Secret Realm, only to later discover that one among them was actually a Divinity Transformation Stage Ancestor—truly a terror!
So, compared to the Divinity Transformation Stage, what is a mere Foundation Establishment Stage? Of course, one should practice cultivation with one’s tail between one’s legs.
Even so, Ning Daoran left a top Paperman disguised as himself at Qiongbi Peak, as a decoy to cover his tracks and create the fact he was not present at the scene of the incident.
…
Shanyang County, western territory.
Within a city thousands of miles away from the Chaotic Sect, the main altar of the Green Robe Association.
This place was originally a small city under the jurisdiction of Shanyang County, but it was later occupied by the Green-clothed Evil Ghost, who established the main altar, gathered countless followers, drove away the county magistrate, and claimed the place as her own.
In the cold wind, Ning Daoran concealed his entire presence, activating the Returning to Nature Level Concealing Breath Technique, Sound Absorption Technique, and Invisibility Technique. Gliding through the air, he was virtually unnoticeable, like nothing at all.
The Green Robe Association’s main altar was located within a large courtyard, where the lights were now brightly lit.
“Every last one of you, patrol the night vigilantly!”
A corpulent manager was distributing green lanterns as he said, “Since our Green Robe Association sits in power here, we must protect the local people. Don’t let those evil spirits harm anyone here again.”
“Yes, Manager!”
A group of young disciples each took a lantern and then vanished into the night, heading in all directions.
In the sky, Ning Daoran couldn’t help but smile. Speaking of evil spirits, wasn’t their own Green-clothed Lady the biggest evil spirit in Shanyang County?
A Golden Core Early Stage evil ghost; such an existence was even somewhat feared by Immortal Sects such as the Chaotic Sect and Steel Gate Sect. Otherwise, they would have taken action to uproot the Green Robe Association long ago.
Jiang Yu had multiple considerations for not acting against the Green Robe Association.
Firstly, the Green-clothed Evil Ghost was extremely powerful with Golden Core Cultivation, her Yin Qi exceedingly vigorous, so much that even she might not be able to overpower it.
Secondly, the Green Robe Association was too deeply entwined with the local believers, and eradicating the Association would inevitably lead to numerous civilian casualties.
Lastly, dealing with the Green Robe Association was something that the Great Xia Court should handle, and the Immortal Sect had no desire to interfere in such matters. Since Sects such as the Sea Burning Sect, Soul Devouring Sect, and Star Moon Pavilion had not taken action, the Chaotic Sect naturally saw no need to lead the charge.
Of course, the main reason was that the Great Elder Gongyang Yan’s True Yang Furnace Technique had not yet reached perfection, and his own cultivation had not reached the Golden Core. Otherwise, with the natural suppression of evil spirits by True Yang Power, the Great Elder alone could have settled the matter.
Now, the Green Robe Association’s main altar did not welcome Gongyang Yan, but rather, Ning Daoran came.
With the Transformation Realm Level True Yang Furnace Technique, and the relentless supply of power from the Eleventh Layer Evergreen Technique, he had more than enough to kill this Green-clothed Evil Ghost!
…
In the depths of the main altar.
An Early-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator of the evil path was seated on the ground at the center of a secret technique outlined in fresh blood. He was muttering to himself, seemingly cultivating what they called “Ghost Dao True Skill.”
This person was none other than the Union Leader of the Green Robe Association.
Years ago, he resolutely abandoned his identity as a Human Clan’s Foundation Establishment Cultivator and threw himself into the embrace of the Green-clothed Lady, becoming the largest henchman under the command of this Golden Core Phase Evil Spirit.
Such people do not deserve to live.
“Swoosh—”
A gentle breeze swept by, and a man and deer silently appeared before the Union Leader.
“Who are you, Fellow Daoist?”
The Union Leader’s eyebrows furrowed as he said indifferently, “Do you know that trespassing in our Green Robe Association is a deadly taboo?”
Ning Daoran did not speak. Instead, he just joined his index and middle fingers and gently lifted them, and the Jianjia Sword Energy at the Transformation Realm Level was already in motion!
“You!”
The Union Leader was shocked and hurriedly summoned a blood-red Bone Shield.
“Puff puff puff—”
Streaks of green Sword Qi burst forth, and in an instant, turned the Low Grade Spirit Artifact Bone Shield into a sieve. Even more fatal was a water-colored glint that pierced the Union Leader’s heart!
“No… you…”
The Union Leader paled drastically and turned around to spit a mouthful of fresh blood onto a green lantern behind him, crying out in anger and desperation, “Lady… save me… save me…”
With those words, the Union Leader fell flat to the ground.
To think that such an Early Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator couldn’t even withstand a single blow from the Jianjia Sword Technique.
“Oooh—”
Big Stupid Deer quietly called out once and leaped into the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven. It had not yet achieved Foundation Establishment and was mainly just there for the excitement.
In the sky, dark clouds gathered, and the wailing of ghosts and gods began to rise.
A cloud heavy with Yin Qi streaked across from the west, casting a shadow over the sky above the entire main altar in an instant.
Then, the blood-stained green lantern began to flicker incessantly.
Endless ghostly Qi rose up, and that familiar sensation came once again!
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
“Audacious brat…”
From the green lantern, a deep green figure slowly rose, turning into a giant silhouette of a Green-clothed Evil Ghost—the Green-clothed Lady herself. Her pair of blood-red eyes stared fixedly at Ning Daoran as she said, “You dare to kill my Union Leader?”
“And I’ll kill you just the same.”
Ning Daoran stepped forward, and instantly, streams of Jianjia Sword Energy burst forth.
“Hahahaha—”
The Green-clothed Evil Ghost let out a burst of wild laughter. Surprisingly, she opened her arms wide, allowing the Jianjia Sword Energy to penetrate her body without causing much damage. The torn fragments of her green, gauze-like long dress immediately regathered and mended themselves.
Wood Attribute Sword Techniques had limited effect against such a Golden Core Phase Evil Ghost.
“Just you?”
The green-clothed evil ghost looked down, her eyes suddenly twitched, and she shouted angrily, “I remember who you are now… You cursed creature, daring to return, truly courting death!
I will not let you leave alive today! Since you killed my union leader, then hand over your soul; from now on, you will be my union leader!”
With that, the green-clothed evil ghost suddenly vibrated her arms, and her body continuously swelled and grew larger, as her dark green dress rapidly expanded, enveloping Ning Daoran beneath its hem.
The Green Robe Illusion, it’s this Golden Core ghost creature’s killer move!
Inside the illusion, there were wails and howls of ghosts and wolves everywhere, countless yin objects whirling, turning into frosty bloody claws pouncing over, and even many yin beasts were being driven, ferociously attacking with savagery.
That oppressing yin qi was sufficient to make any living creature tremble.
For a moment, Ning Daoran’s flesh was lacerated painfully by the yin wind, and there was even a feeling that his body was about to be sliced into pieces, the yin qi penetrating deep into his flesh.
Where the golden light flickered, he infused his mana into the All Heaven Treasure Armor, and instantly, strands of golden armor emerged, continuously fending off the attacks of the cold wind and the yin beasts!
The green-clothed evil ghost roared furiously, and the ghost qi comparable to Golden Core essence covered the sky and descended, turning into strands of bloody spirit blades shooting from all directions, the sound of slicing wind piercing and extremely terrifying!
Ning Daoran snorted with disdain as his body spun, from his storage bag fluttered out a magical treasure, precisely the Chi Long Ding.
In an instant, countless bloody spirit blades fell onto the Chi Long Ding, the clanging noise incessant, utterly unable to penetrate.
“The Chi Long Ding from the Qingyun Secret Realm?”
The green-clothed evil ghost, widely knowledgeable, actually recognized it: “Boy, you will die without a doubt today!”
She spread her sleeves, and several sinister green walls of ghost qi pushed horizontally within the illusion, intending to crush Ning Daoran’s body into dust.
“Ridiculous!”
While dodging, Ning Daoran lifted his hand and brought out a True Feather Fan, in the reflection of the firelight, a blaze of crimson fierce flames spread across the sky, attacking the enveloping yin qi from all directions!
“Aaaahh~~~”
The True Yang Furnace Technique suppressed yin objects, even more so the Transformation Realm level True Yang Furnace Technique being employed now, as the fierce Pure Yang fire spread rapidly, the green-clothed evil ghost’s primordial qi was already damaged.
“How dare you!”
The green-clothed evil ghost was infuriated, suddenly shooting up from the ground, about to leave.
She had already realized how tricky this person in front of her was, to continue fighting would likely lead to great losses!
“Still trying to escape?”
Ning Daoran had anticipated this, and with a flick of his hands, two golden silk ropes suddenly burst out of the illusion, becoming over a thousand feet long, and “whoosh whoosh whoosh” wrapped around the green-clothed evil ghost’s body more than a dozen times, completely immobilizing her!
“Boom—”
With a loud bang, Ning Daoran executed the True Yang Furnace Technique, and in an instant, his body ignited like a fiercely burning stove.
The swirling power of the Eleventh Layer Evergreen Technique was channeled into the True Yang Furnace Technique, and in a blink, it was accelerated to the Transformation Realm!
When it reached the Transformation realm, suddenly, a fire furnace over dozens of feet tall enveloped his entire body, continuously breaking through the Green Robe Illusion!
“You…”
The green-clothed evil ghost was shocked and horrified, at this moment, she was like being pinned down by the head, unable to move an inch.
The Yin aura covering her body continuously got absorbed and incinerated by the True Yang Furnace Technique, and in the blink of an eye, numerous holes appeared in her long green dress. The flames within expanded unceasingly, tearing apart her ghostly form!
“You… Ascended to Immortality…”
The Green-clothed Evil Ghost was terrified, “This servant knows her wrongs; please spare my life, Immortal. I am willing to toil like an ox or a horse, at the Immortal’s beck and call, with not the slightest hint of defiance…”
Ning Daoran’s gaze was ice-cold as he continually urged the True Yang Furnace Technique to melt the ghost’s form.
Such demonic words couldn’t be trusted, not even a punctuation mark!
…
The bright flames illuminated the entirety of the Main Altar of the Green Robe Association.
As the flames started to fade from their peak, the legendary Green-clothed Lady had been reduced to ashes and smoke!
Such an imposing entity at the Golden Core Early Stage was annihilated by Ning Daoran due to the restraint between Yin and Yang!
At this time, Ning Daoran still maintained the appearance of a middle-aged man, unafraid of anyone seeing him.
He stepped forward to check the remnants of the Green-clothed Evil Ghost. Finding no Storage Bag, as Ghost Cultivators didn’t value Spirit Stones but instead prized living flesh and blood, the Green-clothed Lady surprisingly had left no “relic” or “Explosive Drop.”
The only relic was a piece of green torn cloth, part of her skirt, containing an extremely dense amount of ghostly energy.
“Huh?”
Ning Daoran picked up the piece of green torn cloth, and after a sweep with his Divine Sense, he was shocked. He immediately placed several Prohibitions on it and put it into his Storage Bag.
Afterward, he conducted a Soul Search on that Union Leader.
This search shocked Ning Daoran once more, as if he had uncovered a major secret!
He then made his escape using the Earth Escape Skill and stealthily returned to the Chaotic Sect.
…
Early morning at Qiongbi Peak.
Outside, a gentle rain began to fall, a perfect season for the Spirit Rice to grow.
Ning Daoran and Big Stupid Deer didn’t go out to farm but practiced in the secret chamber.
Ning Daoran reviewed the events of the previous night, especially what he gained from the Soul Search of that Union Leader.
Though the Union Leader’s soul had been seized by the Green-clothed Lady, turning him into an unconscious puppet, he incredibly possessed a Heavenly Slaughter Demon Skill, albeit not cultivated to perfection…
However, this Heavenly Slaughter Demon Skill was the exclusive Absolute Skill of the Heavenly Slaughter Sect, which core disciples alone could cultivate.
Why would a disciple of the Heavenly Slaughter Sect, a Demon Path of Northern Qingzhou, appear in Shanyang County? Could this imply that the Demon Path had begun to reach out to the Righteous paths within Qingzhou?
Connecting this to the actions of the Soul-devouring Demon from the Soul Devouring Sect and his True Disciple Lin Chi, it seemed that the Demon Path was strategizing something grand.
Ning Daoran took a deep breath; there was no need to contemplate the incomprehensible.
He lightly slapped his Storage Bag, from which floated out a triangular scrap of cloth.
This was a relic from the Green-clothed Lady, which shockingly contained over seventy percent of this Green-clothed Evil Ghost’s Cultivation and Divine Soul!
When Ning Daoran investigated the scrap of cloth with his Divine Sense.
He saw a disheveled, stunningly beautiful green-clothed woman, sitting hugging her knees in pitch darkness. She lifted her head to look at Ning Daoran, teardrops falling down her delicate face, looking immensely pitiable.
