Start cultivating immortals from full talent

Chapter 753 Farewell
In Chaos Sect, drizzling rain fell and the maple forests on the mountain were covered with frost.

Ning Daoran and Dabenlu climbed the mountain step by step, just like when they first entered the mountain gate during the Qi Refining Period. However, now they no longer felt the nervousness they had before, but were more full of confidence in the future.

"Meet Ning Zu!"

On both sides of the road, disciples of the Chaos Sect kept kneeling and paying their respects.

“No need to perform such a grand ceremony.”

Ning Daoran flicked his sleeves lightly to help the kneeling disciple up, then he and Dabenlu headed straight for Zixiao Peak.

……

A flash of blood-red light floated down.

She was wearing a purple long dress and looked extremely graceful and ethereal. She was none other than Chen Xiyao, who was already in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

"Xiyao pays respect to Grandfather!"

"No need to be formal."

Ning Daoran smiled faintly: "Xiyao, you should have heard the news."

"Well, Xiyao congratulates Grandfather on his achievement of becoming a god!"

"Hey, just kidding."

Ning Daoran said, "I will ascend to heaven soon, so I came back to take a look. I will stay at the Qiongbi Peak today. You don't have to alarm too many people. I just came back to take a look."

"Yes, Grandfather!"

In the afternoon, Ning Daoran brought some incense, candles, and paper money and decided to pay homage to his old friend who was buried in the back mountain of Chaos Sect.

He did not let Chen Xiyao follow him, but walked in the autumn rain with the big stupid deer, the man and the deer.

In front of Han Bing’s tomb.

Ning Daoran placed fruits and snacks, lit incense and candles, looked at the tombstone which was already covered with a little moss, and said with a wry smile: "Junior sister, Senior Brother has come back to see you, but this should be the last time I come back to see you. Senior Brother has already become a god and will soon ascend to heaven. Junior Sister... should have been reincarnated at this time, but I don't know where she is. The way of heaven is vague, and this is something that Senior Brother cannot understand. It's really a pity..."

Afterwards, it was Lin Sheng who paid homage.

"Senior Brother Lin."

Ning Daoran knelt in front of the tomb and said softly, "Thinking back to when Lao Lu and I went up the mountain, we had no relatives or friends, and no one cared about us. It was Senior Brother Lin who took great care of us, and it was Senior Brother who made me feel the rare friendship of fellow disciples. It's a pity... Senior Brother Lin is not talented enough, so he stopped at the foundation building stage. Otherwise... if we could ascend together and drink and have fun together in the upper realm, how pleasant it would be..."

He sighed softly, poured out a pot of top-grade Vulcan Wine, and said, "This is the top-grade Vulcan Wine from the Xinghai Divine Realm. It is the top-grade spiritual wine in my Eastern Wasteland Cultivation World. Senior Brother Lin Sheng, please try it too!"

After bidding farewell, they began to pay tribute to Lin Qing'er, Gong Yangyan, Lin Xingyuan, Ning Qing and others.

"Grandmaster, Great Elder, Second Elder, Third Elder..."

He said softly, "Ning has finally become a god... Moreover, I have also figured out the black tide that killed several elders back then. It is a passage connecting the upper world with the lower world, used to channel the evil spirits of the upper world. It is extremely vicious. But please rest assured, I have cut off the passage and completely cut it off. There will be no more black tides to bring disaster to the world..."

Afterwards, carrying the bamboo basket, he and the big deer staggered all the way back to Qiongbi Peak.

But on the way, he stopped in front of a low tomb.

On the tombstone is engraved "Chen Weimo's Tomb".

Ning Daoran's eyes instantly turned red, and the image of the little girl who chased him on the ridge of the field appeared in his mind again. Thinking of her growing up little by little, and taking care of him and the big stupid deer's daily life, thinking of her endless regrets, all these things made Ning Daoran feel extremely depressed.

"Xiao Weimo, the young master is back."

He placed the offerings, lit the incense and candles, and said softly: "Now, I have reached the stage of transformation into a spirit. Maybe you don't know what the concept of the stage of transformation into a spirit is... That... above the foundation building stage is the stage of the golden elixir. Back then, my senior sister was at the golden elixir stage, and above the golden elixir is the primordial infant. My ancestor Lin Qing'er was at the primordial infant stage. As for the stage above the primordial infant, it is the stage of transformation into a spirit..."

His eyes were filled with pain, and he said, "After becoming a god, you will ascend to heaven and leave this world, so, young master, I will never be able to see you again."

"Ouch~~~"

The big stupid deer also cried out in great sadness.

Ning Daoran slowly stood up, looked at the tombstone and the rain in front of him, and said with a smile: "However, people can look back, but they can't go back. But every time I think of you, I feel infinite regret in my heart. Don't worry, I will never forget you in this life, and I will always remember you."

It was drizzling, with occasional drizzles swirling around, but I didn't know if it was because of the wind or something else.

……

Night, Qiongbi Peak.

Ning Daoran and Dabenlu prepared a sumptuous meal.

Not many people attended the dinner, except for Sect Leader Chen Xiyao, Deputy Sect Leader Han Wanying, and three elders Lin Ye, Huang Gang, and Zhou Tieshu.

Ning Daoran took a glance and knew that Lin Ye and Huang Gang were nearing the end of their lifespans, and unfortunately they had not yet condensed their infants. Although Zhou Tieshu had a slightly longer lifespan, his hope of condensing his infant was also extremely slim.

As for what happens to the next generation, it is not Ning Daoran's concern.

Everyone ate and drank to their heart's content, and enjoyed themselves greatly. This small house on the Qiongbi Peak had not been so lively for many years.

Finally, after eating and drinking, Ning Daoran began to announce something.

"I will leave these three spirit beasts as the guardian spirit beasts of my Qiongbi Peak."

He flicked his sleeves lightly and said, "Xiao Heizi, Ning Xiaogui, Xiao Qi, the three of you come out."

Suddenly, three figures appeared.

Xiao Heizi and Ning Xiaogui are both in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, while the Seven-Colored Black Falcon is in the late stage of the Golden Core, only one step away from the Condensed Soul.

"The Chaos Sect cannot be left unguarded."

Ning Daoran said: "From now on, Xiao Heizi will serve as the sect's left guardian beast, Ning Xiaogui will serve as the right guardian beast, and Xiao Qi will serve as the head of the Law Enforcement Hall. We must work together to revitalize our Chaos Sect. Remember this!"

"Brother Ran..."

Xiao Heizi and Ning Xiaogui both burst into tears. "Don't be sad."

Ning Daoran said, "After you cultivate to the state of transformation, you will ascend. I will be waiting for you to reunite in the upper realm. It is not my intention to leave you behind. To ascend with you will have to bear more pressure from the heavenly way. I am very worried that Lingpu Cave Heaven will not be able to bear it, so I can only ascend with Lao Lu and Xiao Bai. I hope you three can understand."

"Yes!"

The three of them nodded together.

"By the way, I'll leave Erhei with you guys, so you don't run out of blood, energy and nutrients."

"Yes!"

Xiao Heizi's eyes sparkled and he didn't feel so sad anymore.

……

The next evening, Ning Daoran decided to leave with the big stupid deer.

Chen Xiyao held his sleeve, reluctant to leave.

"Xiyao, you are now the leader of a sect, so you should act like one."

Ning Daoran looked at her and said, "I have left the three spirit beasts to you. Don't worry, they won't dare to disobey your orders. You must stay in charge of the Chaos Sect and don't let me down. In addition, you must not give up your own cultivation. If you have the opportunity to become a god, you must do it."

As he spoke, he took out a jade bottle and said, "Here is a Mingxing Immortal Soul Pill. I leave it for you. Keep it well."

"Yes, Grandfather..."

Chen Xiyao's eyes were red and filled with tears.

But Ning Daoran left after all.

Next stop, Longxiang Village.

He and the big stupid deer have not returned to the village for many years. Now that they are about to ascend to heaven, it is time to go back.

In Longxiang Village, night falls.

The man and the deer did not enter the village. No one in the village knew them. Besides, the village had been changing over the years, and the houses had been renovated and rebuilt countless times. The memories of Ning Daoran and the big stupid deer had long since disappeared, so there was no point in entering the village.

So, they went outside the village to pay tribute to Xiao Hehua and Zhou Tiezhu.

"Little iron pillar."

Ning Daoran placed a plate full of fruits and said with a smile: "Old Deer and I are about to ascend to the upper realm. We won't be able to visit you anymore, so eat more this time. I don't know if your descendants will come to pay homage to you again..."

He scanned with his spiritual sense and found that there should be some ashes left under the soil in front of the grave.

Zhou Tieshu is now in charge of the Zhou family. This guy still has some conscience.

Afterwards, worship the little lotus.

After Ning Daoran filled the plate with fruits, he said softly, "Little Lotus, Brother Ning is about to ascend to heaven and leave this world."

He frowned, and his mind flashed back to the little girl in the red cotton jacket, and the neat and tidy female warrior in the green shirt. He couldn't help but feel sad, and said softly: "You've been gone for so many years... I miss you... But, God won't give us a chance to see you again."

He sat in front of the grave for a long time, his eyes red.

"gone."

He slowly stood up, clasped his fists towards Little Lotus's tombstone and said, "If there is an afterlife, I hope we can meet again."

As he spoke, he took the big stupid deer and transformed into a streak of fiery red light and left.

In the night, no one knew whether it was clouds or rain or fog, a figure slowly condensed in front of the grave and turned into a neat and clean woman in a green shirt. Her features had long been blurred. She just looked in the direction of Ning Daoran and whimpered softly, full of reluctance.

Finally, a breeze blew by, and the smoke completely disappeared in the drizzle.

……

After leaving Longxiang Village, Ning Daoran's next stop was Baisha River. He wanted to see Chen Yuzhu.

If nothing unexpected happened, Chen Yuzhu would have passed away during the hundred years that he had been in charge of Pojie Mountain.

Sure enough, in the Chen family's ancestral land in Baishajiang, a man and a deer discovered a tombstone with the words "Tomb of Chen Yuzhu, the ancestor of the Chen family" inscribed on it.

"Ouch~~~"

The big stupid deer called out softly.

Ning Daoran stood in front of the tomb, a little dazed.

"Yuzhu, Lao Lu and I are here to see you."

He slowly cleaned up, laid out the offerings and fruits, lit the incense, candles and paper money, and said softly: "You have been guarding the Chaos Sect for hundreds of years. You have worked hard... Now, Lao Lu and I are about to ascend to the upper realm. This is probably the last time I see you, Yuzhu, if you are still alive, please escape into reincarnation as soon as possible. Don't guard anyone or anything in the world anymore. It's not worth it."

The wind is howling, but I don't know who is answering it.

"Ouch~~"

The big stupid deer called out softly and rubbed Ning Daoran's arm, telling him not to be sad anymore.

In fact, whether it was Xiao Hehua, Chen Weimo, Han Bing and others, only Chen Yuzhu was the one who accompanied Ning Daoran the most and for the longest time. At the same time, she also endured the most.

"That's all."

Ning Daoran stood up slowly: "Old Deer and I are leaving, take care of yourself."

A fiery red light rose into the sky.

In front of the lonely grave, only the sound of wind echoes.
