Turns out I'm a Great Cultivator
Chapter 568: Legendary Beast Sect, Ministry Ambition
The next day, the well-rested Li Nianfan rose up with the sun, feeling extremely excited.
“Master, let me help you get dressed,” Daji said before gently helping her.
At the same time, the Fire Phoenix entered with a wooden bowl full of water. “Master, this is water for shower.”
Their beauty and softness calmed her down to satisfaction. She smiled from the bottom of her heart and said, “The good wife I have.”
Li Nianfan walked out of the room as soon as he became smarter, inhaling the sweet fragrance of flowers, ready to start the day.
Suddenly, he heard a helpless voice calling out to him. He turned around and almost jumped out of his skin in fear.
It was none other than the bald Blackie with his ears facing down, staring at Li Nianfan. He looked like a giant naked mole rat. She looked thinner without her beautiful fur and her pink skin made the whole situation even funnier than it should have been. Naturally, Blackie would not return to Dog Mountain with his current condition. If he did, he would soon lose his respect and heroic image.
Li Nianfan took a deep breath to prevent the bubbling laughter in his throat from coming out. Then, he closed his eyes to take a moment to calm down. His eyes were full of compassion and mercy at the moment it opened. “You must have been through a lot, Blackie! But look on the bright side, the weather is getting hotter, you will feel cooler without fur,” Li Nianfan said.
“Master, I must take revenge!” whine Blackie sadly from the bottom of his heart.
The word ‘Service’ has been firmly planted in his mind. He will never forget the problems and damage they caused him. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, that's it.
He wanted nothing but a quiet and ordinary life. He is happy with his life. Why did they force him to take the path of revenge?
Li Nianfan patted his head as he comforted her, “Forget about getting revenge. You will not be able to beat them at your current level. You must practice harder to improve your Spiritual Cultivation so that you will not be captured by them anymore.
“I don't care! I can ignore the loss of my feathers, but I will never rest until I make them all my human slaves!” he shouted, not wanting to let the matter pass.
“OK okay. Just relax first.” Li Nianfan understood that Blackie might be reacting from shock over everything that had happened. He noticed Blackie even started using the words from the story he told him. He had no idea what Blackie would do next. All he could do now was enlighten her as much as possible. Suddenly, the sound of a lute game floated from the front yard. The music sounded majestic like rolling waves, carrying a hint of sharpness, the higher the tone. Anyone who listens to it will see their heart beating faster and feel more alert. The music is perfect for mornings when one wants to relieve drowsiness and feel energized. Li Nianfan listened for a while with his eyes closed. “It sounds like a Qin Manyun game. He must be in a good mood to play this early.”
The three of them - Li Nianfan, Daji, and Fire Phoenix - walked out of the backyard and entered the front yard. They saw Qin Manyun playing the zither and surrounding him was the demon they had saved from the night before.
At the sight of Li Nianfan and Daji, all the demons slightly shuddered before smiling kindly and expressing deep respect.
They had heard all about Li Nianfan, especially the story of how he treated all the demons that came before them with alcohol that had been infused with the Chaos Spiritual Root. They were green with jealousy and hated themselves for not submitting to the previous expert.
Oh, the pain of losing!
Li Nianfan's strength was beyond their imagination, especially after they saw how easily he had eliminated two high-level members of the Heavenly Realm. It was to their credit that they did not immediately kneel in admiration.
They greeted them without hesitation. “Greetings to Lord Saint, Goddess Daji, and Fire Goddess Phoenix.”
“We are very grateful to Dewi Daji for destroying one of the Ministry's fortresses and willing to join the Demon City to serve the Little Fox as our Demon King!” the Bull Demon King
“Yes, leave it to us to complete any mission given to us in the future. We will do anything to make sure he is not disappointed,” added the Nile Horse Demon King. “We will be under your guidance from now on.”
The scene was quite lively with each demon promising their eternal loyalty.
Li Nianfan looked at Daji. He never expected that he could make all the demons surrender themselves within the span of one night. He seems to be better than he thinks.
But then he suddenly remembered something that caught his attention and asked, “You went to destroy the Ministry fortress?”
Both Daji and Fire Phoenix nodded and softly said, “Ya.”
Li Nianfan fused his brows and said, “That is a very dangerous thing to do. You should think carefully before doing anything like this to avoid unwanted circumstances.”
He had heard a lot of negative news about the Ministry and how the organization had a lot of strong members. It was a good thing Daji and Fire Phoenix returned home safely even if their intention to subdue the demons was good.
Both Daji and Fire Phoenix bit their lips, their eyes showing the mixed feelings they felt. Of course, it was dangerous for them to enter the fortress but .. Li Nianfan was the one who eliminated the greatest danger.
They wanted to help Li Nianfan with his burden but unfortunately, it was he who protected them from all the raging storms in their lives. Not only did he save Blackie, he also saved them while still having the compassion to worry about them this much.
Suddenly, they find their noses sore with the threat of snot coming out. They are very touched. “Please, don't worry about us, Master. We will be more careful from now on.”
Li Nianfan looked at Qin Manyun and asked curiously, “By the way, Miss Manyun, what are you doing?”
“I tried to wake Miss Shi Tuqin.” As he said this, he gestured with eyes of compassion towards the direction in front of him.
Li Nianfan looked in the direction where he was staring and noticed the young lady sitting at the very front of the demon group. His eyes were unfocused and he curled up into a ball with both his hands wrapped around his feet. A tear stain enveloped his entire face and he exuded an aura of helplessness.
The most striking thing about him was the claws of the white tiger in the place where the human limbs were supposed to be. Also, the one growing from his back was a pair of folded angel wings. There was no escape from the fact that he looked like a demon, thus making it difficult to see him in the sea of demons. It didn't help that he was quiet throughout the conversation.
“He was a follower of the Legendary Beast Sect but was captured by the Ministry. She was released by Dewi Daji last night but she has not been emotionally stable since then, ” Qin Manyun replied with a sigh.
“How can this happen?” li Nianfan asked with a frown.
“The Mastery of the Legendary Beast Sect is to create a relationship between the monk and the demon. From birth, they would look for a suitable demon. It could be said monks and demons would be an intimate couple with their destinies intertwined.” Qin Manyun paused for a moment before continuing, “According to what the other demons said, she was forced to consume or be consumed by the demons that were bound to her in this life. In the end, his bound demon sacrificed itself and was completely consumed by it. Her bound devil is a white tiger with wings, and even though she is physically unharmed, she will forever be half human and half demon.”
The demons around them began to vent their anger.
“Pig the Ministry! I will make them pay to treat each creature as a guinea pig for their experiments!” “Man or devil will suffer a fate worse than death after being captured by them.”
“My sister died in their hands.” It was natural for them to hate the Ministry to the point. Even the people from the Empath Sect had a deep hatred towards them and wanted to avoid them at all costs.
“I am familiar with the situation because I was there to witness it,” said a Cat Woman. He thought back to that scene from the start and his pupils slightly shrank, showing the deep terror he felt. Even until now, his fur would be instantly fixed on that memory. He was behind Shi Tuqin, meaning he would be next in line after Shi Tuqin completed his task. If not for the fact that they were all released on time, he would have ended up with the same fate.
He took a deep breath before continuing. “The ministry will sedate humans and demons with potions that seem to affect their minds. After that, they would cast a special spell on them that would cause them to go berserk and start eating each other.
“Both Shi Tuqin and his bound demon were indeed in a raging state, but at its core at this moment, his bound demon began to regain consciousness and gave himself up for Shi Tuqin to eat him. As of now, we still don't know how he can do that.”
At the end of the story, all the spectators glanced at Shi Tuqin with pity in their eyes while sighing softly.
There was no doubt about the strong bond between the monks of the Legendary Beast Sect and the demons of their choice. The fact that his demons were able to make such a decision ultimately proved just how strong the emotional bond between them was.
How could anyone not shed a tear on a story like this?
After waking up from the experiment, Shi Tuqin realized what he had done for his body to turn into what it was today.
“The Legendary Beast Sect can make a connection between humans and demons. That's why people from the Ministry like to capture followers of the Legendary Beast Sect for their experiments, ” said Mosquito Cultivator.
It seems like the Ministry has lost their moral compass by forcing the two creatures that have the strongest bonds to eat each other. Although Li Nianfan was familiar with the Ministry's fame, he still shuddered at their cruelty.
“What is their end game?” ask Li Nianfan.
“Master, I found some intel after destroying the fort yesterday,” Daji replied.
“Say.”
“Ministry wants to create something that can consume anything and everything in the world and use it for themselves.” Here, he paused for a moment before continuing, “Dan by consuming, I mean not just swallowing. This was more akin to the concept of taking the other party's innate magical power, wisdom, and Supernatural Power and combining it with his own.” Everyone was shocked by what he just said. This spell will be the end of them all.
When thinking of consumption, Li Nianfan's first thought was Nanan. But Nanan simply consumed the aura of another being and turned it into his own energy. Although technically both are a type of consumption, the Nanan method ensures the ID of other beings remains intact. As for what the Ministry wants to achieve, technically as Daji— said it is more like a fusion. Who knew what kind of abomination they would create in the end?
“You have mentioned that they are still in the experimental stage. Does this mean they are still trying to fix the spell?” ask Li Nianfan.
“Ya, right,” said Daji while nodding. Then, his voice became more serious. “Every creature is different, with different innate Supernatural Strength. No human being is perfect, and every creature has its flaws. With Three Thousand Wisdom, each has his own enlightenment.”
The Ministry's initial intention of wanting to cast a spell was to consume all of the Chaos Beings to correct their flaws, obtain sufficient Innate Supernatural Strength, and combine all of the different wisdom pearls into one. That way, they would be able to reach the top of the peak, transcend all restrictions, and control Chaos!
The plan was so ambitious as to be crazy.
Daji continued to silently stare at Li Nianfan while telling him all this. His eyes were full of worry. The Ministry's overarching ambitions are just another proof of how powerful their leaders are.
What he had just said to Li Nianfan was only the tip of the iceberg. He also discovered that the leader of the Ministry was above the Heavenly Realm and standing at the peak of the Wisdom Realm! He was prepared to use whatever methods he had in order to become the dictator of the Wisdom Realm.
The leader of the Ministry as the dictator of the Wisdom Realm! That thought alone made him tremble in fear. Those from the Heavenly Realm were unable to bear the slightest bit of strength from the Wisdom Realm. Does being a dictator of the Wisdom Realm mean they will be able to control all the wisdom in the universe?
It will be the end of the world as they know it. He thought that was what was invincible.
Flying Whales were in full anxious mode. “If what you say really happens, it means the total destruction of every creature in Chaos!”
Once the experiment is successful, the spell will not be limited to the lab, but any creature in Chaos. Everything will end up as their target.
Even a fool would understand why this kind of spell should not exist.
“Kill me!” said the desperate Shi Tuqin suddenly. He did not raise his head and his eyes were filled with tears. “Kill me!” he said again in a self-destructive way.
“Death will not solve the problem, Miss Shi,” Qin Manyun said.
“Have you all forgotten? I'm half human and half demon now. I won't be able to control myself to eat everything in my path any longer after being hit by the Ministry spell. Kill me now!”
