Chapter 348 -346: Killing Like Cutting Grass
The first layer of the Mirror Flower Water Moon Secret Realm was filled with countless ancient trees and twisting vines, all at least ten thousand years old. And within the lush forest, in the now crystal-clear depths of the lake, lay the opportunities coveted by the cultivators.
“Look, there really are treasures at the bottom of the lake!”
Several Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators from Sangyu Country peered into the depths and could not contain their excitement, quickly diving into the water. Soon enough, a cultivator emerged with a big smile, carrying a treasure mirror: “It is a Second-Order Middle-Grade Spirit Artifact treasure mirror. Although I’m not sure of its magical effects, the treasures in the Mirror Flower Water Moon Secret Realm are surely extraordinary!”
The rest of them wore smiles on their faces.
“Alright, now it’s mine.”
Just then, a figure suddenly spoke from atop an old tree above everyone’s heads.
“What?!”
The group was dumbfounded. Nobody had noticed that someone had been crouching in the tree. This person’s presence seemed to have vanished entirely, blending into the dark vines, undetectable.
“Don’t even think about it!”
The cultivator holding the treasure mirror, who was in the Late-stage Foundation Establishment, scoffed, “You say it’s yours just because you say so. Who do you think you are?!”
“Buzz!”
The figure descended from the sky, a spear striking fiercely.
A huge ripple surfaced on the lake as blood began to spread. The cultivator’s neck was smashed, his head and the treasure mirror wrapped in mana and flying into the assailant’s Storage Bag.
“Damn it!”
A Sangyu Country cultivator yelled out, “That villain is Independent Practitioner Jianjia, run!”
But it was too late to flee.
With just a thought from Ning Daoran, six Golden Silk Swords cut through the air. In the next second, six heads were lifted by mana and deposited into a Storage Bag specially for heads, and seven Storage Bags were returned carrying the possessions of their former owners.
In an instant, seven Foundation Establishment heads were claimed.
Ning Daoran took a deep breath. That was twenty-one thousand Spirit Stones already. Not to mention anything else, how briskly one could make money in the Mirror Flower Water Moon Secret Realm!
Moreover, the treasures from these people’s Storage Bags had not been tallied yet. If they were, this deal would allow Ning Daoran to earn at least thirty thousand Spirit Stones!
What a pity for someone like Sui Xuan, that Old Golden Core who works so hard for an entire year only to make up to ten thousand Spirit Stones. Why is this? It’s simply because, in the end, he’s too weak!
“Continue.”
He grinned, his pearly white teeth appearing somewhat sinister under the night sky.
Ning Daoran’s goal for this trip was clear. He wasn’t going to actively seek out the treasures within the secret realm; there was no need. Let the other cultivators from Sangyu Country explore—like mantises stalking a cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. After they’ve all done their searching, he would simply kill them all, and their possessions would become his regardless.
To put it bluntly, the character he’s impersonating, Independent Practitioner Jianjia, was definitely a carnivorous cultivator.
…
Not long after, near a Spirit Tree deep within the secret realm, three delighted Sangyu Country cultivators gazed at everything before them. Among these three, one was at the Golden Core Early Stage, and two were at Mid-stage Foundation Establishment. The older cultivator at the Golden Core Early Stage appeared to be from a First-class Sect of Sangyu Country; overall, their strength was not too imposing.
And this tree before them was none other than a Heavenly Element Fruit Tree.
Heavenly Yuan Fruits are known for their extraordinary healing properties and also contain potent Essence Qi. Even for those who are uninjured, consuming these fruits provides considerable benefits to cultivation.
“Great Master Uncle, it really is a Heavenly Yuan Fruit!” A young Foundation Establishment disciple said excitedly.
“Indeed.”
The Golden Core Early Stage Great Cultivator’s gaze was sharp as he said: “The two of you work quickly to uproot this Spirit Tree. Remember not to harm its roots, lest we damage the tree’s Spiritual Energy. I will cover you, to prevent any thieves from Xia Country from passing by!”
“Hmph!”
The other young Foundation Establishment cultivator laughed, “With Great Master Uncle’s profound mana, even if thieves from Xia Country come, what of it? Didn’t that Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator just fall to Great Master Uncle’s blade within ten moves?”
“Enough small talk. The two of you, start digging the tree!”
“Yes!”
Just as the two disciples started digging, they discovered someone seemingly perched atop the crown of the Heavenly Yuan Fruit Tree. The man, dressed in green robes and holding an Azure Dragon Spear, narrowed his eyes and smiled, “First-come, first-served. This Heavenly Yuan Fruit Tree is mine.”
“Who is he?!”
The Golden Core old man was taken aback, seeing that this person was only at the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment and scoffed dismissively: “A mere Mid-stage Foundation Establishment dares to court death. Do you think my Magic Saber is too blunt?”
As he spoke, his Golden Core Power burst forth, wielding a green Magic Saber and striking towards Ning Daoran.
“Clang~~~”
The Azure Dragon Spear swept across, shattering the Second-Order Middle-Grade Magic Saber. Ning Daoran’s Dragon Demon Heart Scripture erupted, closing the distance in an instant, as the spear swept towards the old man’s waist.
“Not good!”
The elder’s pupils constricted, “Middle-stage Embracing Elixir Martial Artist!?”
He hurriedly brought out a Third-tier Low-grade Rock Shield Talisman!
Unfortunately, it was already too late. Ning Daoran’s spear struck the newly formed talisman, sending the old man flying. Then, with a palm strike that split the air, the might of the Dragon Demon Realm surged within the wind. A powerful surge of Dragon Demon Power descended from the sky, effortlessly pushing the old man’s body into the soil, followed by forcefully twisting his head from his neck and depositing it into a Storage Bag.
“Great… Great Master Uncle…”
Two Foundation Establishment Cultivators were dumbfounded, never expecting that their invincible Great Master Uncle would be slain in a single encounter, with even his head twisted off!
“Run!”
One of them yelled, but there was no chance.
Ning Daoran raised his hand, and two strands of Liangyi Sword Technique sword intent flew out, transforming into two sword qi that directly beheaded the two men. Mana carried their heads and Storage Bags back to him.
Executing a clean strike, he vanished into the darkness once more, this time to hunt those trapped in the shadow.
…
In the blink of an eye, the first layer of the Mirror Flower Water Moon Secret Realm became a hunting ground. Although there were quite a few opportunities, the number of Cultivators who had flooded into the Secret Realm from both sides was enormous, totaling over a thousand. Very quickly, most of the opportunities within the first layer of the Secret Realm were searched out, plunging both sides into a war within the Secret Realm of the Cultivation World.
However, what truly struck terror into everyone’s hearts was none other than Independent Practitioner Jianjia.
In just a short span of two hours, he eradicated up to six Sangyu Country Golden Core Cultivators, and a pile of those at the Foundation Establishment Stage perished. This person seemed to take great delight in “defying the natural order” and slaughtering those below his rank without mercy, showing none of that righteous air that a Golden Core Cultivator might carry of being unwilling to slay those at Foundation Establishment, much like the saying “I, Wu Song, only use my fists against the strong brutes of the world and never bully the weak.”
Independent Practitioner Jianjia had absolutely no sense of righteousness. It looked as if he was collecting Sangyu Country Cultivators’ heads, and the more, the better. Bizarrely, those from Sangyu Country had no means to counter him. Although there were quite a few Sangyu Country Golden Cores who began to join forces, intending to find and slay Independent Practitioner Jianjia, he was like a dragon—showing his head without his tail, impossible to locate.
“This Jianjia Independent Practitioner, how utterly despicable…”
In the end, one Sangyu Country Golden Core Cultivator summed it up with this sentence.
Ning Daoran didn’t care in the slightest, continuing to do as he pleased. To him, these Sangyu Country Cultivators should never be alone; isolation might lead to their slaughter. And even if they banded together, they shouldn’t be too complacent—if the group’s number or strength was lacking, they would also be annihilated, without the slightest chance of luck.
…
Soon after, at the end of the first layer of the Mirror Flower Water Moon Secret Realm.
“Hum~~~”
When everyone’s mana filled the space, it seemed to touch some kind of rule, and strands of restrictions began to emerge on a large stone platform ahead. Then, a rich medicinal fragrance wafted over.
Instantly, Cultivators from both sides showed expressions of surprise and delight.
“It’s the legendary Immortal Dew Platform!”
“Yes, the Immortal Dew Platform indeed, I never thought I’d actually witness it in my lifetime. It’s said that the Spirit Grass grown on the Immortal Dew Platform are rarities of this world, each worth over ten thousand Spirit Stones in the outside market!”
“How wonderful, the Spirit Grass of the Immortal Dew Platform are mine!”
In an instant, Cultivators from both Sangyu Country and Xia Country were overjoyed, and many began preparing to break the restrictions to harvest the Spiritual Medicines from the Immortal Dew Platform.
At that moment, a figure arrived with the wind, one hand behind his back, wearing a green robe, radiating an aura of eternal vitality—it was Ning Daoran, disguised as Independent Practitioner Jianjia!
“Jianjia Old Demon has come!”
For a time, many Cultivators from Xia Country clenched their teeth in anger.
“What?”
Ning Daoran, fearless, mocked them, “Opportunity lies before you, are you going to abandon it to battle with me? Come on then, I’m free to engage.”
“Fellow disciples!”
A young Sword Cultivator at the Late-stage Foundation Establishment angrily said, “Although this scoundrel killed our master, opportunity prevails. We must restrain our anger, secure the opportunity first, then avenge our master. As for this scoundrel, let him live for a bit longer; our Sangyu Country Golden Core Cultivators will surely avenge the master!”
“The senior brother is right, how about letting this scoundrel live a little longer? There’s no way he will leave the Mirror Flower Water Moon Secret Realm alive!”
“Master, your spirit in the heavens, rest assured, your disciple will definitely avenge you!”
…
Ning Daoran didn’t care for any of that.
He landed squarely on the corner of the Immortal Dew Platform, his body surging with Dragon Demon Power. Wielding the Azure Dragon Spear, he began forcefully breaking the restrictions, while his left hand continuously cast Array Dao Formulas, setting up multiple layers of prohibitions behind him to ensure that he had no concerns from the rear.
“This scoundrel is trying to snatch the opportunity! Brothers, go! We must secure the opportunity before he does!”
The Cultivators from Sangyu Country were frantic.
At Xia Country’s side, the crowd followed lead of the disciples from the Furong Immortal Palace and Wanhua Sword Sect, two of the Ten Great Immortal Sects.
Lin Baoping frowned, “Let’s do it, though these Spiritual Medicines aren’t all that precious, taking some back to the Sect will benefit the training of our junior brothers and sisters.”
“Yes, senior sister!”

A group of female disciples set out like swarming birds, beginning to break the prohibitions.
As for Wanhua Sword Sect, Nian Wuya led the way with his sword, taking a few disciples to break the restrictions directly with Sword intent.
The Immortal Dew Platform was enormous, and many forward Cultivators could get a share of the spoils depending on who could break the restrictions faster. Fortunately, the restrictions on the Spirit Grass of the Immortal Dew Platform were segmented, so no one could take away all the Spiritual Medicines by breaking the restrictions first.
…
Ning Daoran, fully engaged in both destruction and battle, was rapidly breaking the formations using the Dragon Demon Heart Scripture while also employing Array Dao Formulas for efficiency. Quickly after breaking a piece of the restrictions, he collected a long-matured Nichang Flower and Dust-falling Grass into his Storage Bag, then leaped up, ruthlessly thrusting his spear towards the head of a Sangyu Country Golden Core Early Stage Cultivator.
“Jianjia Independent Practitioner, you beast!”
The Golden Core Early Stage Cultivator was terrified, “With opportunity at hand, you still choose to kill!”
