Chapter 706: Chapter 704 Law Breaker the Star Monarch

"Hulu lu lu~~~"

Upon hearing that the other party wanted to become Ning Daoran’s master, Big Stupid Deer immediately widened its eyes into inverted triangles, snorted loudly, bristled its fur, and saw dozens of cross-shaped green veins appear on its forehead!

"Hmph..."

Ning Daoran chuckled and said, "From what senior said, are you intending to seize my Divine Leaf Mountain?"

"Young Friend Ning, you speak too seriously."

Law Breaker the Star Monarch softly laughed and said, "Opportunities in the world belong only to the capable. This Jade Bottle Continent is already dilapidated and insignificant. Talented young men like you should seek a better mountain instead of settling for this mere Divine Leaf Mountain."

Ning Daoran felt a surge of vigilance. This Law Breaker the Star Monarch must have sensed something. Even though he had not discovered the Qi Gathering Array hidden underground or the mysterious Treasure Bottle, he could at least perceive that the fortune and Spirit Veins of the entire Jade Bottle Continent were tied to Divine Leaf Mountain.

Thus, his earlier words were merely a smokescreen. His true intention was to trick Ning Daoran into surrendering Divine Leaf Mountain willingly.

"Senior, please seek another treasure ground."

Ning Daoran calmly replied, "I’ve already decided to cultivate on Bi Yi Peak of Divine Leaf Mountain. Furthermore, according to the last decision by the Eastern Wilderness Cultivation World Alliance, I am currently the master of Jade Bottle Continent. Since Fellow Daoist seeks to settle down in the Eastern Wilderness, you should abide by the regulations of the Eastern Wilderness Cultivation World. I urge Fellow Daoist to show some self-respect."

"Regulations?"

Law Breaker the Star Monarch’s gaze grew ice-cold. "The rule is what *I* say it is. Why should I be reminded by a mere Nascent Soul junior like you?"

"Ultimately, a battle seems inevitable."

Ning Daoran chuckled faintly and said, "Very well, let’s fight then!"

"Just as I wished!"

Law Breaker the Star Monarch laughed heartily, raising his hand to summon mountain-range-like Dharma Images that condensed in mid-air. He sneered, "Since you are seeking death, I shall grant it!"

Waves surged violently as Divinity Transformation Power crushed forward!

"Go!"

Ning Daoran remained within the array, raising his hand to release strands of Chaos Immortal Vine that shot out of the formation. Accompanied by deafening noises, they repeatedly collided with the monarch’s methods.

However, Law Breaker the Star Monarch was a genuine Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator, and Ning Daoran stood at a disadvantage in direct confrontation. The overflowing Divinity Transformation Power surged ferociously, hammering ruthlessly against the Void Returning Array.

Thunderous detonations echoed continuously as the array trembled and buzzed repeatedly.

This Void Returning Array had been laid out for ten years, thoroughly fused with Divine Leaf Mountain’s mountain root water transport. As a result, it was exceptionally sturdy. Moreover, the mysterious Treasure Bottle buried in the Qi Gathering Array below had already accumulated a layer of Qi Fortune Spirit Liquid. At this moment, the liquefied fortune was humming, converting the continent’s fortune into fortified Array Power to ward off the enemy.

"Attack!"

With a wave of his hand, Ning Daoran unleashed Class A Paperfolk from all directions to assail the Star Monarch.

Little Bai also unleashed the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Stake, aiming it at the challenger.

Big Stupid Deer raised its front hooves within the array, persistently deploying the Five-Colored Deer Chanting Technique. Waves of Spirit Light struck the Star Monarch’s body, wearing down much of his Mana despite causing no real harm. View the correct content at NovelFire

Little Blackie and the Green Water Turtle joined forces to spray Water Arrows. The barrage of "puff puff puff" left the Star Monarch extremely annoyed.

"Foolishness! Simply courting death!"

Law Breaker the Star Monarch roared furiously, lifting both hands to conjure a radiant moon. With ire, he exclaimed, "Do you truly believe that, as a mere Nascent Soul Middle Stage, you can challenge me, a Divinity Transformation Cultivator?!"

The radiant moon descended!

Ning Daoran rose valiantly, executing three successive strikes and throwing a large pile of fourth-order Ice Burst Talismans, Divine Frost Talismans, Blast Flame Talismans, and other magical items into the fray. Lightning and thunder filled the skies, and with his three strikes and substantial talisman expenditure, he managed to diminish nearly half of the moon’s Essence Qi!

The remaining half could only be fended off by the Void Returning Array!

"Boom~~~"

A deafening explosion resonated as the radiant moon shattered violently against the array. The Void Returning Array hummed and groaned in pain, its surface showing countless cracks, nearly breaking apart!

"Good! It’s barely anything!"

Law Breaker the Star Monarch’s eyes filled with smug satisfaction.

"Barely anything?"

Ning Daoran smirked faintly, instantly striking his Storage Bag to release a series of Array Flags and Plates. Swiftly arranging another formation, a second Void Returning Array rose within the first layer, dazzling brilliantly.

"I have plenty of arrays."

Ning Daoran said calmly, "But senior, with every array you defeat, the immortal origin power you expend will not replenish itself. Tell me, who is truly at a disadvantage here?"

He sneered coldly, "Senior, feel free to wield your Divinity Transformation Power to attack at will. Even if you destroy Divine Leaf Mountain, I can simply tunnel away and find another location. Meanwhile, you will face the Eastern Wilderness’ Divinity Transformation experts pursuing you. I suggest senior think carefully."

"You dare threaten me?"

The Star Monarch fixed his gaze with superiority, his eyes brimming with murderous intent.

Clearly, Ning Daoran’s words had some effect, as the Star Monarch sneered, "Very well. Since you’re so fond of this Divine Leaf Mountain, I shall let you keep it. I won’t bother with someone like you. However, heed my warning: do not cross me in the future, or these trivial arrays won’t protect you!"

"Junior understands."

Ning Daoran cupped his fists with a smile, saying, "Farewell, senior!"

A glint of malice flashed in the Star Monarch’s eyes as he turned and departed.

Ning Daoran furrowed his brows in concern. Getting involved with such a Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator was bound to bring trouble.

As for seeking assistance from Ning Tianyi, it required careful consideration. After all, Ning Tianyi had sustained injuries in the Battle of Descent, depleting his Primordial Qi. His current ability to contend with the Star Monarch remained uncertain.

...

Following the Star Monarch’s departure, Bi Yi Peak remained serene and unshaken.

One month later.

Two figures appeared outside Divine Leaf Mountain.

"Young Friend Ning, Ning Tianyi has come to visit!"

"Brother, I’m here!!"

Outside the array, Ning Tianyi donned a deep blue robe, exuding an unfathomable aura. Beside him, Ning Mingyu retained her ethereal fairy-like demeanor—she had now advanced to Nascent Soul Middle Stage, radiating an aura of immortal charm!

Behind the pair, countless Immortal Boats lined up, bearing cultivators from Divine Deer Continent!

"Young Friend Ning, I, Ning Tianyi, happened to pass by and decided to stop by. I hope I’m not interrupting your cultivation?" Ning Tianyi greeted politely.

"Not at all."

Ning Daoran floated up gracefully, dispersing part of the array, chuckling, "City Lord Ning, Mingyu, come in!"

Then, he turned to glance at the Longque Wanderer aboard an Immortal Boat and called out, "Brother Long Que, how about coming down for a drink?"

"Certainly!"

Longque Wanderer cheerfully descended.

That night.

Ning Daoran hosted a grand feast, accompanied by Big Stupid Deer, preparing an exceptionally sumptuous table of dishes. He even brought out a jar of Top-grade Fire God Wine to entertain Ning Tianyi and Ning Mingyu.

Initially, he thought a normal Fire God Wine would suffice but reconsidered after reflecting on Ning Tianyi’s significance during this visit. Ning Tianyi deserved the very best.

The affairs of Divine Deer Continent were demanding, and Ning Tianyi, as the region’s esteemed leader, was perpetually occupied. Given Jade Bottle Continent’s remote north-eastern locale on Li Yue Continent, it was unlikely his visit was for leisure.

Thus, Ning Daoran deduced Ning Tianyi came for just one reason:

He had heard of Law Breaker the Star Monarch’s attempted attack on Divine Leaf Mountain and had arrived with a contingent of Eastern Wilderness cultivators to caution the Star Monarch against further transgressions.

After several rounds of drinks.

"Mingyu, advancing to Nascent Soul Middle Stage already—impressive, truly impressive. You haven’t disappointed your elder brother."

"Really?"

Ning Mingyu beamed with a delighted smile. Hearing such praise from Ning Daoran made her revel in joy.

"Don’t overpraise her; otherwise, she’ll grow arrogant."

Ning Tianyi jested with a laugh.

Ning Daoran also laughed.

"About the Star Monarch matter..."

Ning Tianyi said, "He is a Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator left behind by the North Sea. Unfortunately, he did not participate in the Battle of Descent, and he has connections with many cultivators from Divine Deer Continent. I intended to confront him directly..."

"City Lord Ning, there’s no need."

Ning Daoran said, "A mere Star Monarch does not have the qualifications to make me flee. Given the fragile balance across the Four States of Li, it’s unnecessary to disrupt your plans over one Star Monarch."

"Very well."

Ning Tianyi said, "Once I depart, I will have a few words with this Star Monarch. If he’s smart, we can let bygones be bygones. If not, humph..."

Ning Mingyu interjected, "Father, why not deal with this once and for all? We have so many Nascent Souls here, not to mention Brother. We can eliminate him directly and avoid any future trouble!"

"This matter involves a broader context."

Ning Tianyi explained, "After the Battle of Descent, many North Sea cultivators remained in the Eastern Wilderness, attempting to integrate. The Eastern Cultivation World also benefits from their addition, necessary for mitigating losses caused by the battle. Especially in Li Country, the elders of Divine Deer Continent are striving to retain these North Sea Nascent Souls as fresh blood. I cannot intervene rashly. If we truly kill the Star Monarch, it may frighten all North Sea cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness, stirring discontent across the Four States."

"No issue. I can handle it."

Ning Daoran said, "Mingyu, don’t act recklessly. Cultivation is more than just fighting."

"You should learn from your brother." Ning Tianyi chuckled.

Ning Mingyu pouted, focusing instead on her food and drink.

...

Several days later.

Ning Tianyi and his company departed, leaving Bi Yi Peak tranquil once more.

For now, Law Breaker the Star Monarch was unlikely to act out again.

Nonetheless, Ning Daoran remained unbothered. With continued cultivation, his foundation grew stronger, edging closer to Nascent Soul Late Stage. Once he attained that level, he would no longer need to fear the Star Monarch.

At Nascent Soul Late Stage, he might even rival Divinity Transformation!

"Old Lu, you’ll stay to watch over the place."

Ning Daoran stood up slowly, retrieved a bamboo hat from his Storage Bag, and equipped a medicine basket on his back. "Little Bai, you’ll accompany me across the Jade Bottle Continent. It’s time we proceed with the next phase of restoring the rivers and mountains. While the Treasure Bottle contains abundant Spirit Liquid, spiritual essence alone isn’t sufficient. We need more Spirituality to rekindle vitality in this land."

"Understood, my lord!" Little Bai responded with a smile.

Big Stupid Deer looked reluctant. NovelFire

But Ning Daoran still mounted his tunneling light, leaving Divine Leaf Mountain alongside Little Bai.
