Turns out I'm a Great Cultivator
Chapter 666: New Night View of the Heavenly Palace, Main Enemy Xing Ya
Days pass. News of the impending attack from the Eldritch Wisdom Elite was naturally unknown to ordinary people but had already begun to spread among the larger sects and powerhouses. Some cultivators mobilized all of their followers, preparing them for a war of their lifetime, while some cultivators started searching for the secret frontier to make their hiding place until disaster passed. The Heavenly Palace had brought together several cultivators in the Area of the Gods. They stepped up Chaos patrols to look for signs of Guhe crossing the border.
Returning to the four-piece building, Li Nianfan was casually drinking his tea. He alternated between watching Fire Phoenix and Daji practice yoga and Qin Manyun and Shi Tuqin practicing Guqin and calligraphy. Even Blackie was running on a treadmill.
He could not help but be confused by what he saw. ‘What do they do? Why did they suddenly become hard workers? They make me look lazy.’
He had been paying attention to their resolve for a while now. He coughed lightly and said, “Little salary, great for practicing yoga but you also have to rest. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. The same goes for you, Miss Qin and Miss Shi. You only need to practice for two hours peak. More than that will hurt your body.” He was afraid that they would injure themselves if they practiced nonstop.
“Master, it's hard for us to stop. I think we're all a little addicted to what we do,” Daji said.
Li Nianfan shook his head and said, “That won't work. We've been locked up here long enough. Come out to get some fresh air and relaxation.”
“As far as you are, Sir,” said Daji, never being the one to disagree with him. He was deeply moved by his concern for them.
“Where are we going?” fire Phoenix asked curiously.
Li Nianfan pondered for a moment and said, “Mmm, let's pay a visit to the Heavenly Palace. I remember I had a house there so let's stay there for a while. ” The house he was referring to was of course the Palace of the Deluxe Merit Saint. He feels blessed to have so many accommodations to choose from.
The group was pleased with his advice. They all nodded their heads in agreement. Soon, Daji calls Dragin and Nanan to join them. They all packed up quickly and walked over to the Heavenly Palace.
The South Sky Gate was guarded by Juling Shen and the two men wearing golden armor. They loomed majestically from each side of the gate with resolute expressions on their faces. At that moment, Xiao Chengfeng was also there and she was sitting somewhere not far from the Southern Sky Gate with Juling Shen. Among them was a Xiangqi board. They are happy to play against each other.
Xiao Chengfeng moved the pawn forward and said, The “Xiangqi found by this expert is very pleasant. The chessboard may look simple but there are a thousand moves to be made against the opponent. Each of the pawns here had their own weaknesses and strengths. This game gives me a lot of excitement.”
Juling Sheng moved his knights and nodded. “I totally agree. It's easier than Go. Even a rude man like me finds joy in this. Long life expert.”
Xiao Chengfeng shook her head and sighed. “Sweetly disaster is coming soon. Otherwise, we can enjoy more peaceful days in front of us.”
Juling Shen's eyes began to be filled with nostalgia. “There's nothing we can do about it. It has always been like this even during my days of being a heavenly general in the Heavenly Court during Prehistoric times. The times of disaster will always be more than the moments of peace. What's more, the catastrophe this time involves the entire universe.”
“You're right. The wise word is from parents. I heard that Guhe had killed at least two Wisdom Elites. How horrible is that? Do you think we can stop him this time?” xiao Chengfeng asked respectfully.
“Haha, don't think I didn't know you were trying to distract me with your question. I saw you steal my bishop. Afraid of losing?” ask Juling Shen.
Suddenly, one of the heavenly soldiers guarding the gate came in a hurry. He was red on the face and filled with anxiety. “Report to two heavenly generals! There is a golden Merit Cloud heading here. Looks like the experts are coming!” His nervousness made him stutter in saying those words.
This is shocking news, indeed. The expressions of Xiao Chengfeng and Juling Shen immediately changed and they stood up without hesitation. Then, at the same time, they turned their heads to look into the distance and saw that Merit Cloud was close enough that they could see a figure on it.
“This is really an expert! Quickly, come and greet him with me!” Xiao Chengfeng and Juling Shen walked quickly to the Southern Sky Gate and stuck out their necks in anticipation at the arrival of the expert.
“Greetings, Lord Saint, Goddess Daji, and Goddess Fire Phoenix,” they said and bowed respectfully as the group arrived at the gate.
“Halo, General Chengfeng and General Juling Shen,” Li Nianfan said with a smile. He glanced at the Xiangqi board and felt amused by the fact that they were both lazy to work.
Both Juling Shen and Xiao Chengfeng noticed the excitement in his eyes and immediately felt ashamed of being discovered. They scratched their eyes and cheeks and their hearts were pounding. They quickly put away the Xiangqi board.
“Lord Saint, may I know the purpose of your visit?” ask Juling Shen.
“Oh, I'm afraid the Deluxe Merit Saint Palace will be abandoned, so I came to visit her,” Li Nianfan said. Then, he waved his hand and continued, “Quiet, friends. I'll be there myself.”
“Let us take you there because we have nothing to do,” Xiao Chengfeng said sincerely. The opportunity to serve an expert did not come so often that there was no way he would let this opportunity slip away just like that.
Li Nianfan accepted his offer and the group immediately walked to the Deluxe Merit Saint Palace while chatting along the way. Xiao Chengfeng and Juling Shen comforted Li Nianfan with stories about all the recent events in the Heavenly Palace and the recruitment of new Gods.
Suddenly, a figure appeared above the roof of the hall not far from there. His white robe fluttered in the wind as he said, “After the sun and moon die, sit down and watch the years go by, I will be immortal.”
Li Nianfan was startled by her and found her strange. He looked towards Xiao Chengfeng and asked, “Is he one of the new recruits of the Heavenly Palace as well?”
Xiao Chengfeng's expression turned green in anger. “No! Her name is Xing Ya. Just ignore him Lord Saint. ”
“Why is he wearing a mask?” ask Li Nianfan.
“Our display is the lowest expression level. It's an insult to me to show my face to the public. I will not bring such humiliation on myself, ” Xing Ya said.
“Sorry, Holy Lord. This person was a little..” The hair on Xiao Chengfeng's head stood upright. He managed to calm himself down after exerting all the effort on his body. She then pointed to her head to imply Xing Ya was a little crazy there.
“Just ignore him and continue our journey,” said Juling Shen.
The group walked past Xing Ya. “How is the real situation? How long has he been like this?” li Nianfan asked in a low voice.
Xiao Chengfeng shook her head and said, “I suspect she's been like this for a long time. No medicine for him anymore.”
“Do such strange spells really exist?” li Nianfan asked in shock.
“Yes, and the stupidest thing is, the spell is useless for anything other than that,” said Juling Shen.
Li Nianfan momentarily fell silent. Time was precious because it was directly related to the increase in strength, so how could one possibly spend countless years creating spells with just such a foolish function? Li Nianfan did not know whether to admire or pity him for paying such a high price of ‘class’.
“What a weirdo. I was very curious to know what he was like,” Dragin said.
“Do you all really want to know?” ask Li Nianfan.
Nanan immediately nodded his head and said, “Yes! Do you think you can take off the mask, Brother Li? ”
Daji also looked at Li Nianfan. “Can you really do it?”
Li Nianfan's eyes sparkled mischievously. “Well that's hard enough but leave it to me! I'll reveal his face to you all tonight, ” he said with a mysterious smile.
They all couldn't wait for the night to come sooner. They were confident that Li Nianfan would be able to take off Xing Ya's mask. Xiao Chengfeng was extremely excited. He was really looking forward to the expert who showed Xing Ya who.
Soon, they arrived at the Deluxe Merit Saint Palace. After the Prehistoric era was upgraded to the Area of the Gods, the Heavenly Palace was also expanded. The changes were huge and a wave-like heavenly spirit swept through the buildings and enveloped them in a white mist. Coupled with the merit clouds in the sky, the scenery was truly beautiful.
The Palace of the Deluxe Merit Saint is located in the observatory. It had the best view of the entire Heavenly Palace because next to it was the galaxy. Compared to the last time, the galaxy has also expanded several times. An infinite number of stars dotted the sky and flowed like a river, shining down on anyone who looked at it. There's nothing more beautiful than that. Gazing into the distance, one could see mountains, dense forests, and endless skies.
“Hah?” Li Nianfan had discovered something strange while looking into the distance. There was a mountain that seemed to rise above the other mountains and from his perspective, he could clearly see that the mountain, although not as tall as the Heavenly Palace, was, high enough to act as a tunnel between heaven and earth.
“Lord Saint, the mountain is similar to Mount Buzhou in Prehistoric times so we decided to call it Mount Buzhou as well. It was a heavenly mountain formed in the Area of the Gods and many followers often went there to look for opportunities, ” explained Juling Shen.
“This is indeed a majestic mountain,” said Li Nianfan with a nod of his head. Then, he looked elsewhere. The scene before him was all very special. With a single glance, people could already feel their majesty and prowess. A temple shone brilliantly as it was enveloped in a misty aura.
“It was the Flower Sea Border where the Hundred Flowers Sect was located. That is the kingdom of the Luotian Dynasty and you can see their sacred temple there. It was there the Snow Ice Sacred Land.” Both Xiao Chengfeng and Juling Shen acted as tour guides to Li Nianfan.
All the sects there had erected luxurious temples on their behalf to defeat each other. Even the materials they use in their buildings are the best of the best. Some of them chose to build in a place higher than the Heavenly Palace to show their superiority. The observatory was truly the best place for one to see the Area of the Gods with all its splendor.
Xiao Chengfeng called the Heavenly Soldier at the next opportunity and secretly instructed him to send a message to all the sects informing them that experts had come to the observatory to enjoy the night scene. They need to know what to do to make them happy. The Heavenly Soldier immediately left to carry out his orders.
The sky gradually became dark. Li Nianfan, Daji, and the others were sitting on the largest and tallest balcony in the Deluxe Merit Saint Palace. Under the endless night sky, under the starlight, and with a breeze in the air, they had prepared a table full of food and had prepared a grill for a BBQ party.
The view of the day had turned into a night sight. All the great sects lit up. Some of their light shot up into the sky like fireworks, some manifested fire dragons soaring into the sky, some also manifested fire lotuses blooming. As for the Hundred Flowers Sect, they manifested countless flower ghosts twinkling in the sky. Each flower has a different color and is arranged regularly. The light reminded Li Nianfan of the fireworks he had seen in the city before he moved here. However, those fireworks were truly incomparable to what he saw before his eyes.
He sighed and praised, “Sekte really does not hold back in terms of recruiting followers huh. The night view is certainly made interesting by their lights. I guess this is what it feels like to be able to do whatever you want when you reach a high level of cultivation.”
The Jade Emperor and the Empress arrived at this moment and they smiled at Li Nianfan. “Greetings, Holy Lord.” After that, the Seven Daughters, Goddess Chang’e, Goddess Nuwa, Cultivator Junjun, Food God, Ye Liuyun, and his old friends also came to meet him.
Now that he had returned to the Deluxe Merit Saint Palace, it was natural for him to invite everyone to a meal. He smiled and said, “I made a new wine called Dragon Blood Wine. It's very powerful and I've specially brought some for you all to try. Matched with BBQ. I hope it is to your liking. ”
Immediately, the princesses poured a glass of wine for each of them while Xiao Bai was in charge of the grill. Charcoal lit up bright red while sparks flew. The smoke hissed as Xiao Bai turned the skewer.
Immediately, another figure appeared in front of the group. “I have arrived. Thank you for inviting me, Master Saint. ”
“Please, sit down,” said Li Nianfan with a smile.
Xing Ya shook her head and said, “Sorry, but my status does not allow me to eat with others. Please, let me get the food. ” He then looked up at the sky coldly.
“Quick, hold my sword, Brother Juling,” Xiao Chengfeng said, her face red.
“What?”
“It itches to kill Xing Ya. I can't control it anymore, ” Xiao Chengfeng said among the gritted teeth.
Li Nianfan coughed lightly to suppress their impulse. “Sister Xing Ya, can you take off your mask? In return, I'll teach you some cool sentences. ”
“Lord Saint, I can't believe you're also so obsessed with looks. I've gone beyond that and can't go back so I advise you to give up. ”
“With the sun and moon in my hand, with the stars only a few steps away, there is no one like me in this world,” Li Nianfan said calmly.
Xing Ya opened her eyes wide. His blood flowed to the bottom of his feet as his mind buzzed. ‘Wow! Now, this is what I call class! This is a thousand times better than my sentence! Only a line like this is worthy of me. I have to hand it to the experts. He's so cool. Alright, you got my approval to become my main enemy! Wait, whoa. Calm. I must not overreact.’
“Who will reach the top at the end of the eternal path, look at that Xing Ya with her immeasurable Wisdom,” continued Li Nianfan.
‘That line load my name!’ thought Xing Ya. This gave him an overwhelming satisfaction that caused his body to tremble. He wished he could scream. The line is too good. His head almost exploded thinking of how cool he would look when he said that line.
