I’m Actually a Cultivation Bigshot

Time went by, day after day.

Li Nianfan was living comfortably. This donkey was big. There was enough meat to last them a few days.

Daji was serving him well, too. He would go to the backyard to take care of the plants from time to time. After using the growth serum to water the plants, the gourd’s vines were starting to grow. Since he did not build a shelf, the vines grew along with the saplings not far away. They looked at peace.

The sapling was getting stronger, too. It was green like jade, glowing with green light.

“What a pity that there isn’t much entertainment in this Immortal Realm. If not, life would be perfect now!” Li Nianfan could not help thinking. “Now that I have a thousand years of lifespan with prolonged youth, I can’t get too bored. I need to kill some time. Let’s see if I can come up with some entertaining activities.”

…

At the Tiandang Mountain.

It was located close to the West in the Immortal Land.

It was called a mountain, but it was not exactly a mountain. Perhaps it used to be a mountain in the past.

It was a massive flat land at the heart of the mountain with other mountains surrounding it. Rumor had it that this land used to be a gigantic tall mountain that was wiped away by force during one Natural Tribulation. Hence, it was now flat.

Therefore, this was named the Tiandang Mountain.

Today, the empty mountain range was livelier than usual. The traveling clouds in the sky came one after another.

If there was an Immortal in here, he would be so shocked. This was because the Immortals driving the clouds were all very powerful. All of them were exuding powerful Qi and they were all extraordinary.

Other than many of the old demons who never simply went out, many Sect Masters were attending in person. They were all glowing with power.

As they were flying, they would slow down their clouds to travel together if they saw someone they knew, conversing with smiles on their faces.

Meanwhile, two elders met.

They were different from the ordinary Immortals. These two elders’ hair were fluffy, their skins wrinkled. Their eyes were not glowing. Instead, they looked rather dull.

If one looked at their appearance, they did not look like Immortals. Instead, they looked rather lowly maintained.

They did not fake this look. Although Immortals liked to pretend to look worn out, their skin would still appear soft like a baby’s when they were attending a conference with other Immortals present.

Thus, these two Immortals were really old. Whenever this happened, it meant that the lifespan of the Immortals had basically come to an end.

“Brother Lin, I can’t believe you’re still alive!”

“Daoist Ma? Ha-ha-ha, you’re still alive?”

The two of them exchange a look, their eyes filled with awe. “The last time we met was thirty thousand years ago. I remember back then I was still a small cultivator and you were a small Daoist! Ha-ha-ha!”

Daoist Ma nodded, “Yeah, back then we wanted to become Immortals. In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of years have passed.”

“It’s not easy for us to stay alive this long,” Longevous Lin sighed. He then asked in a low voice, “What did you suffer from the Five Decays?”

Daoist Ma nodded bitterly, “In a hundred years, I’ll have my third decay. I’ll be a dead man by then.”

Longevous Lin said joyfully, “I still have a hundred and fifty years! I’ll live fifty years more than you, ha-ha-ha…”

Daoist Ma said unwillingly, “Do you remember the rumors of the Heavenly Temple back then? If only there’s a Flat Peach in the world!”

“What era are we in now? That was just a rumor back then, it’s almost impossible now.” Longevous Lin shook his head bitterly. He said, “Back then, we fantasized about eating a flat peach to Immortalize. Now, we fantasize about eating flat peaches to prolong our lives. Ha-ha-ha, what a world!”

“I was going to wait for my death in peace. However, after hearing about the massive changes in the world with massive opportunities, I decided to come to try my luck. Isn’t this why you’re here, too?”

“Of course. Do you know what happened?”

Daoist Ma shook his head. “I haven’t followed the news of the outside world for a long time, let alone the ordinary realm. However, judging by the situation, this isn’t a small matter.”

The two of them travelled together, talking about the past.

Actually, the two of them were not as close back then. They probably only spent a few days together. After meeting each other after thousands of years, they suddenly became close friends.

Cluck! Cluck! Cluck!

Meanwhile, a unicorn carriage galloped toward them. Three unicorns were galloping powerfully, each unicorn stepping on a cloud, exuding a powerful temperament.

Behind the unicorns, a grand carriage was being pulled, exuding glory all over. The lights were shining straight ahead as if the carriage lights were brightening up their surroundings.

The surrounding clouds were forced to make way. Wild wind was blowing.

The carriage’s high-profile appearance was like a supercar racing down an ordinary road while making a loud noise. The surrounding Immortals frowned and wore looks of displeasure.

Daoist Ma and Longevous Lin’s conversation abruptly stopped as well. Before they could react, the carriage had already shot past them like the wind.

Daoist Ma’s face changed. “This is unacceptable! Everyone here’s a well-reputable Immortal. Who doesn’t have treasures? Is there a need to show off?”

As he spoke, he lifted his hand and pulled out a sword to secure it below his feet. The sword was glowing brightly. However, that was not it. He made another gesture and pulled out six treasures in one go. The three swords were placed below his feet and the other three swords around his body. There were six different glows around him, making him look very cool.

“Well said. Everyone has lived past countless ages, we should’ve seen it all. It’s such a childish act to show off!” Longevous Lin nodded in agreement.

With that, he gently patted on the small sparrow perched on his shoulder. In the next moment, the sparrow stretched out its wings and transformed into a gigantic bird. The bird howled and allowed him to ride on it.

“Childish!”

Not far away, a woman shook her head and felt triggered by them. She brushed the jade on her neck and the jade was removed. It then turned into a gigantic jade, glowing brightly. Instantly, she turned into more of an Immortal than she already was.

The Tiandang Mountain instantly became lively. There were all kinds of glows and special effects. Things were all over the place.

The mountain was very spacious. The crowd walked from all directions to the heart where they saw a majestically glowing main hall. The hall was glowing with bright lights, golden glass, and Immortal Clouds circulating it. It looked like the most ideal architecture in the most ideal land.

Above the main hall, there was a huge banner hanging that said, ‘Immortal Land’s Top Immortals Urgent Conference’.

Phew…

The three unicorns did not stop until they reached the front door of the main hall. The door of the carriage opened automatically. Ye Liuyun gradually exited the carriage. He looked authoritative and powerful

“I wondered who was being so high-profile. Turns out it was the Palace Master of the Liuyun Palace. Perhaps this was how he got away from being chased by the Five-Color-Sacred Cow?”

This was followed by gentle laughter. A beautifully and majestically dressed middle-aged Immortal stepping on seven-colored mushroom clouds walked over, glowing in lights. “Isn’t it better to stay humble?”

Someone said, “Haven’t seen you in so many years. Brother Liuyun’s grandpa is indeed admirable. No wonder you got the title of the Milk-Drinking Maniac.”

“So he’s the Milk-Drinking Maniac! Good to finally meet him!”

Since everyone here was in the Golden Immortal realm, they could speak their minds freely.

“Ha-ha, indeed. I’m the Milk-Drinking Maniac. It’s me!” Ye Liuyun did not seem to mind and admitted it easily. Not only that, he appeared rather proud of it.

To him, he was serving the expert by admitting it.

The expert was the one who liked drinking the milk of the Five-Color-Sacred Cow. Of course, he would never expose the expert. So what if he admitted to being the Milk-Drinking Maniac? What an honor!

The middle-aged Immortal sighed, “Brother Liuyun’s skin is indeed thicker than ours.”

“Ha-ha, what right do you have to call me your Brother?” Ye Liuyun smiled arrogantly. His Qi around him condensed, exuding an oppressive power. Instantly, the air became tense.

Everyone’s heart jumped vigorously. The treasures around them had suddenly turned dull.

They all looked at Ye Liuyun in shock as their eyes filled with disbelief.

What was that?

Was he not chased after by the Five-Color-Sacred Cow not long ago? He had a breakthrough?

“Ha-ha-ha, congratulations to Palace Master Liuyun, congratulations!” A burst of laughter came from within the main hall. Following that, an elder in white robes walked out. He seemed friendly, peaceful, and very enthusiastic.

“With the lack of Immortal Qi in the Immortal Land, Palace Master Liuyun was able to break through despite the current situation. This is indeed admirable. This is indeed legendary!” The elder made a gesture at Ye Liuyun. “Please, allow me. Since we’re all here, let’s be friends.”

They all walked into the main hall.

There was tea prepared for all of them, along with some Immortal Fruits on the table. The setting was very extraordinary.

If this was in the past, Ye Liuyun might still be impressed. Now, however, he looked down on all of these. The Immortal Fruits here were nowhere close to even one glass of water at the expert’s. How was he not embarrassed to bring them out to entertain his guests? Ha-ha, poor dude!

The expert would entertain his guests with at least an orange!

The setting was simple. The Taiyi Golden Immortals sat around one table, while the Golden Immortals sat around another table.

“Palace Master Liuyun, please, take a seat,” the elder in white robes said politely. He continued, “Including you, there are five Taiyi Golden Immortals visiting!”

“Five?” Ye Liuyun’s brows furrowed. He looked shocked.

There were too few Taiyi Golden Immortals in the Immortal Land. Without an accident, he was the only one who managed to break through in 10,000 years. One could say that Taiyi Golden Immortals were indeed very ancient and rare. They were perhaps figures that survived since the ancient times.

Normally, it would be impossible to meet even one of them.

In a low and mysterious voice, the elder in white said, “Two of them are Immortals of the Sacred Land!”

Ye Liuyun was even more shocked. He remained calm on the surface while his heart sank.

It seemed that it was quite hard to be a spy here. He had to be more cautious.

Gradually, more and more Immortals came. It was rare to come across a Golden Immortal. Yet, there were twelve gathered here today, and the number was going up.

However, Ye Liuyun noticed that many of these Golden Immortals had aged. They were entering the Five Decays so they were not to be concerned about.

Meanwhile, two figures appeared outside the door. They arrived one after another.

They were Xiao Chengfeng and Urchin.

They were shocked. They exchanged a look and pretended as if they did not know each other as they walked inside the main hall.

The two were delighted. It seemed that they were not spying alone. They were not alone!

After a moment, an elder in grey came.

Half his hair had turned white. He had a goatee beard and was exuding a rather weak temperament. He did not show any Immortal feature. However, this man was a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Swiftly after, two more figures came, riding on clouds. They were two women.

The two women exchanged a look. They nodded at one another and sat before the table.

By then, there were five Taiyi Golden Immortals and 14 Golden Immortals. They had all arrived.

With such a massive gathering, it was indeed something that had not happened in 10,000 years.

The elder in white who organized this gathering stood up and spoke.

“Everyone, I’m Qing Yunzi. Please, allow me to introduce our guests with formality.”

Qing Yinzi said, “Immortal Ziye of the Sacred Land Ice Palace, Immortal Linzhu of the Sacred Land Biyun Temple, Immortal Ye Liuyun of the Liuyun Palace, and Immortal Xuanyuan.”

Five Taiyi Golden Immortals, two of which were from the Sacred Land. This was a very rare occasion.

The Sacred Land had always been mysterious. They had existed for a very long time but remained inactive and out of sight. This must be a serious matter if they invited the Immortals of the Sacred Land over.

“Alright, cut the nonsense. Just tell us why you invited us over,” Immortal Xuanyuan said, his voice hoarse.

“Alright, I’ll go straight to the point.” Qing Yunzi smiled. He said, “The Immortal Qi in the Immortal Land has been decreasing and cultivation has been getting harder. These are well-known facts. However, there are now drastic changes happening in the world. You all must’ve felt the Immortal Qi increasing. Do you know why?”

He paused. Then, he answered his own question, “If you aren’t aware of this yet, let me tell you. A few big things have happened in the ordinary realm. The road between the Immortal Realm and Land has been reopened, a Human Sovereign was chosen, and not long after, I even felt the resurfacing of the underworld! There must be some shocking secrets being hidden from us!”

Ziye and Ye Liuyun listened without changing their expressions.

Immortal Linzhu said, “I’m aware of what you mentioned, but it’s impossible to find the source of it.”

“Exactly, it’s being covered by Heaven, blurred out.” Qing Yunzi smiled and said, “However, what I can be sure of is that this is all coming from the Ordinary Realm! After doing some research, I vaguely know the intention behind these changes.”

A Golden Immortal could not help asking, “What does this have anything to do with us?”

“Whenever the world changes, there’ll be unimaginable opportunities. Other than becoming Daluo Golden Immortals, nobody can escape the fate of death!” The elder in white looked at them and said, “Don’t any of you want to become one?”

Instantly, many of the Golden Immortals’ breathing became rapid.

Especially half of them who had entered the stages of Five Decays. Instantly, their eyes grew red.

Normally, a Tian Immortal would have a lifespan of 30,000 years, a Real Immortal would have 40,000 years, a Golden Immortal would have 50,000 years, while Taiyi Golden Immortals would have 60,000 years. Once they reached the end of their lifespans, they would suffer from the Five Decays.

The Five Decays happened once every 500 years. The first decay had an 80 percent chance of survival, the second decay had a 60 percent chance, and all the way to the fifth decay would be death!

Only a Daluo Golden Immortal could get out of this cycle, living in Heaven forever.

“We’ve been fighting to live longer against Heaven. It’s not easy for us to come to this stage. We have to take a leap of faith now that an opportunity’s right in front of us!” The words of the elder in white pricked the crowd like a needle.

He continued, “I don’t mind telling you that the so-called Flat Peaches and Ginseng Fruits from the ancient times do exist. Everyone can prolong their lives from the Five Decays for as much as a thousand years!

“I’ve asked someone to bring this ‘Journey to the West’ book from the ordinary realm. This is the treasure among treasures. I’ve even made some copies for each of you here. This book clearly recorded a great secret from the ancient times. Everyone, please, have a read right away.”
