I'm Actually a Cultivation Bigshot

Panda Novel

Seeing that Yao Mengji was still transfixed in the same spot and that he did not have the intention to run away, the woman panicked.

She pestered, “Mengji, run! Just leave the skyship behind. It’s too slow!”

Leave it behind? No way!

‘All the assets of the Linxian Palace were put onto this skyship. Furthermore, the expert’s resting inside this skyship. Even if I’m about to die, I’ll never leave the expert behind!’

Looking at the three statue-like people on top of the skyship, the woman panicked.

‘Oh, no! My disciple must be terrified of the Immortal!’

“Oh? So the person on top of the skyship is your disciple? That’s easy! If the sky wants you to vanish, you must vanish! Ha-ha-ha…”

“Stay there! Hand us the box and tell us where you got the Golden Bees Honey from! Then we’ll let you live!”

The two Immortals were delighted. They scoffed wildly and arrogantly.

The woman panicked. “Oh, my disciple. Are you kidding me? Don’t be dumbfounded, hurry, run!”

‘Who’s kidding who? Don’t you know?’

Yao Mengji and the other two did not bother to answer her. They were already very anxious at this point. With such chaos, they would likely wake the expert up! He felt guilty!

Meanwhile, a black shadow shot out from inside the skyship. It was Blackie.

His dog face glared at the cultivators coldly, exuding a sense of displeasure.

“Lord Dog.”

Yao Mengji and the other two were delighted.

Swiftly after, under the eyes of the woman and the other two Immortals, the three cultivators bowed at Blackie politely. They spoke with sincerity, “We’re so sorry to have woken you up, Lord Dog.”

Yao Mengji bit his tongue and walked forward. He pleaded, “I beg you, Lord Dog. Please, save my ancestor.”

The Holy Emperor and Qin Manyun added, “We beg you for your help, Lord Dog.”

The woman was completely dumbfounded. She looked at Yao Mengji. Then, at Qin Manyun. She could not help tearing up.

‘Oh, my disciple… I’m so sorry!

‘They must’ve been so terrified that their brains have short-circuited. They’re now worshipping a dog?’

“Ha-ha!”

The other two Immortals were stunned at first. Swiftly after, they could not help laughing from ear to ear.

‘Ha-ha-ha! The cultivators of the ordinary realm are so weak nowadays? They start worshipping a dog when they’re terrified? If you beg us, we might let you off easy. Who knows?”

“What did they call that dog? Lord Dog? I can’t take it anymore. I’m dying of laughter!”

The solemn look remained on Blackie’s face. It walked like a graceful cat, gradually approaching them.

With the moon as its backdrop, the night wind blew against its fur. Instantly, it gave one a sense of lonesome coldness.

It stood at the front of the deck, looking indifferent as its mouth opened to say, “Shut up! You may as well stop cultivating now. You may even keep your lives if you do so.”

Qin Manyun and Yao Mengji’s faces flushed red instantly. They were trembling with excitement.

It’s coming!

This script was familiar. It was a very familiar scene!

The two Immortals were stunned. After looking closely at Blackie for a moment, it seemed as if they could not believe what they heard with their ears.

“Has the world changed? An ordinary Black Dog Demon dares to speak to us this way?”

“The dogs in the ordinary realm haven’t seen the outside world. It’s likely they don’t know how powerful we are. The ignorant ones are always fearless!”

“Fine, this black dog is meaty, so its meat must be delicious. We can boil it in a pot later!”

“Boiling’s no good, I think grilling it will be better.”

As they spoke, one of them simply made a gesture. With that, a long flaming whip appeared in the sky, slashing toward Blackie like a viper.

A burst of cold laughter was heard. “Let’s discuss how to cook it later. First, let me burn away its dog fur!”

Blackie remained in the same spot, without a hint of emotion in its eyes. It simply allowed the whip to come toward it. It even looked up into the sky.

Although it was just a simple slash, the attack was coming from an Immortal. His power was strong and oppressive. Even a Mahayala cultivator would need to use up all of his cultivation to withstand the attack.

The flaming whip curved in the air, leaving a beautiful trail.

In the blink of an eye, it was getting closer to Blackie.

Blackie’s face remained calm. It tilted its head up slightly as if blowing a candle. It simply blew the whip away.

Instantly, the long flaming whip vanished into nothingness.

There was pin-drop silence.

Yao Mengji’s ancestor was dumbfounded.

The two Immortals were dumbfounded, too.

The three Immortals were frozen mid-air, looking as if they had just seen a ghost. Their minds had gone blank as the image of Blackie blowing away the flaming whip kept replaying in their heads.

“This… This… This…”

Every strand of hair of the two cultivators stood up. Their lips were trembling wildly. They could not even speak of a full sentence.

Powerful! Undefeatable!

How could it be?

Why would such a powerful dog exist in the ordinary realm?

A nerve-wracking chill rose from within them. Without hesitation, they turned around and ran away.

They used up all of their energy to escape. They were even spitting blood while running away. All they wanted was to get away from this nightmare.

In the blink of an eye, they vanished out of sight.

Blackie yawned, parting its mouth slightly as it breathed in.

A strong suction force containing the Law suddenly landed on the two Immortals.

Immediately, they were sucked back to where they were.

The two of them were so terrified! It was as if they were experiencing the most terrifying thing in the world. Their organs wrecking!

‘This can’t be real!’

‘God, open your eyes! There’s a bug in one of the dogs in the ordinary realm!’

“Lord Dog, forgive me! Lord Dog, forgive me!”

In the next instance, the two Immortals trembled vigorously as two rays of light were sucked out from their bodies. It was their Immortal Qi.

With the strong suction force, Blackie swallowed their Immortal Qi.

Swiftly after, Blackie raised its paw as if slapping a fly and slamming it on the ground.

1

Slam!

The two Immortals were instantly slammed to the ground.

Everything happened within the blink of an eye. It happened so fast that even their brains were unable to react.

“I… I… I…”

The woman watched this scene unfolding in front of her eyes. Her lips were trembling wildly. She almost cried on the spot. When she saw that Blackie was looking at her, her soul almost flew out from her body. She cried out, half-wailing, “Lord Dog, I’m a good person. Please, let me off!”

Blackie looked at her coldly and said without any emotion, “Do you know the rules? Tell me.”

The woman’s heart sank. She knew she was a border away from death. Her head raced at the quickest speed and a thought came to her. She said hastily, “I know, I know! Expert, ordinary man, act!”

Blackie retracted its cold look.

Instantly, everyone let out a long sigh of relief.

Yao Mengji quickly introduced, “Sect Mistress, this is the dog by the expert’s side.”

“Greetings to Lord Dog. Thank you for saving my life,” the woman said politely, her voice trembling. She was still terrified of what happened earlier.

It was mostly a shock.

If the dog by the expert’s side was this powerful, the realm of the expert was likely to be beyond imagination!

Tap! Tap! Tap!

They heard footsteps coming from within the skyship.

Everyone felt their hearts jump out of their throats. They did not even dare to breathe loudly.

The woman guessed it as well. She was more anxious than the rest. She did not know if she should hide.

The expert…was here!

Vroom!

1

Meanwhile, muffled thunder was heard from above. There was a darkening cloud above the head of Yao Mengji’s ancestor.

The Natural Tribulation was about to occur!

Li Nianfan had already walked out of the skyship. He frowned, “Mr. Yao, what’s happening out there?”

He was worried. Were they under attack? If only the Fire Phoenix was by his side. He would then be half-undefeatable!

He did not have to wait for Yao Mengji’s reply, Li Nianfan saw the figure floating beside the skyship right away.

She was a mature and wise-looking woman. She seemed like she was in a mess. More importantly, she was standing on a cloud!

Was this what they called traveling by cloud? Li Nianfan did not expect to be able to witness this himself!

Most of the cultivators merely traveled in orbs of light.

She could ride on the cloud!

She was most likely an Immortal.

Yao Mengji hastily introduced, “Mr. Li, this is my Sect Mistress.”

“My name’s Gu Xirou. Greetings to Mr. Li,” Gu Xirou instantly got into her role. She apologized, “I’m sorry. I just descended from the Immortal Land. I might have woken you up with the noise.”

“Oh, you’re Mr. Yao’s Sect Mistress!” Li Nianfan nodded in realization. He said with a friendly tone, “Greeting to Immortal Gu.”

She was indeed an Immortal. He had to get acquainted with her.

Li Nianfan paused. He was quite immune to Immortals by now, so he was not too shocked.

Vroom!

1

Another sound of thunder was heard in the sky. There was a flash of lightning that looked like a silver snake dancing wildly. The night sky sparkled. It was very shocking!

The skyship was floating in the air. It was flying quite closely to the lightning. Li Nianfan was terrified by the sight of it.

He did not bring his lightning rod!

Gu Xirou said apologetically, “Mr. Li, I just came down from the Immortal Land, so I’ll need to go through a Natural Tribulation. I’m sorry to have frightened you.”

‘So you’re aware that you’re frightening me? Then, why haven’t you left?

‘Are you planning to keep me here to go through the Natural Tribulation with you? You want to frame me?’

Li Nianfan looked up at the sky in fear, feeling anxious.

However, he was too embarrassed to ask her to leave. After all, she was an Immortal.

He looked at Blackie and said, “Immortal Gu, my dog’s most afraid of thunder. This thunder…look.”

Instantly, Blackie laid down diligently beside Li Nianfan’s feet, shivering.

“I understand, I understand!” Gu Xirou said apologetically. “How embarrassing. I’ll leave for my Natural Tribulation.”

With that said, she drove the cloud further away.

Bam!

A bolt of lightning struck from above without warning, cracking and shaking up the night sky.

Li Nianfan saw the lightning bolt and felt terrified. So terrifying. How terrifying!

It seemed that the Sect Mistress was a friendly person. She was still traveling away from them, making sure that the lightning did not disturb them here. How thoughtful!

This Immortal Realm was indeed full of good people!

Qin Manyun said embarrassingly, “Mr. Li, I’m sorry to have you woken up.”

Li Nianfan waved it off. He smiled and said, “No worries, your Sect Mistress visiting you is a big deal. I just didn’t expect that Immortals would need to go through a Natural Tribulation upon arrival.”

Yao Mengji said, “The higher the cultivation, the more severe the Tribulation would be. They have to pay a price. Luckily, these aren’t usually life-threatening.”

“Isn’t it too much?” Li Nianfan could not help frowning. “If Immortals can come down, why is there an extra step? This is just a formality.”

Yao Mengji and the rest shrunk into themselves. They did not dare to speak.

As expected, the expert was not pleased with the Immortal Realm and the Immortal Land being separated. However, the expert could complain about it. They did not dare do the same for they did not want to die.

Now that the expert had reconnected the road between the two, was he planning on working on the Natural Tribulation next?

Yao Mengji hesitated for a moment before he said cautiously, “Mr. Li, this is the Law.”

Li Nianfan asked curiously, “Oh, right. Nobody’s in charge of the Natural Tribulation? Wind, frost, rain, and snow? The rotating of the sun and moon? Who’s in charge of all these?”

Yao Mengji hesitated for a moment. He said, “Mr. Li, all these work according to the Heavenly Law. They rotate automatically.”

Li Nianfan could not help mumbling, “They’re all relying on the Heavenly Law. Does it even have time?”

Instantly, Yao Mengji and the rest felt some chills all over their bodies. They almost fainted out of terror.

They cowered as they looked up at the sky. They were afraid that lightning might strike and kill them suddenly!

‘Mr. Li, please, stop talking!’ they all cried internally. Even hearing this speech already felt like a crime! It was something they should not be listening to!

So scary! Even though following the expert around gave them a lot of opportunities, it was definitely not for the faint-hearted.

He could simply rewrite the Law. He was this powerful! Nobody could do anything about it!

Li Nianfan shook his head. He was merely voicing out his opinion. He felt that this Immortal Realm was different from what he imagined.

He had a feeling that…this place seemed rather unimpressive.

There was no Heavenly Temple, no person in charge of thunder and storms, no person in charge of the moon and sun. There was only one ‘boss’ known as the Heavenly Law without any working staff!

The ordinary men needed an Emperor, but what about the Immortals? This felt strange.
