I'm Actually a Cultivation Bigshot

Panda Novel

The golden cloud was flashy. It blinded a lot of people on the way there. A lot of people thought it was a blessing from the Gods, they knelt and worshipped on the spot.

Dark clouds followed the golden cloud. It was eerie. A lot of Onis guarded around them.

The journey was smooth and peaceful.

The Deluxe Merit Cloud had a stage on it when Li Nianfan manipulated. The female ghost dancers performed for everyone. The performance was not magnificent but it was quite entertaining.

Li Nianfan and the others chatted, drank wine, and enjoyed the performance.

Previously, he could not cultivate so he did not want to hear about cultivation. He did not know a lot about being a cultivator. That was the time for him to learn and study.

Black and White Impermanence were almost as old as the Underworld. They would only speak on things they knew and they knew a lot.

Li Nianfan was indeed living in his familiar fantasy realm. All the famous characters existed. Li Nianfan was at the peak of excitement. He might be able to meet some of them.

Something happened after Journey to the West ended, Li Nianfan did not know about it.

The original ending was the Buddha being forced to reincarnate, Wukong sacrificed himself, and Buddhism suffered. However, they had a chance to start over again because Buddhism was all about karma.

Reincarnation was a good ending.

However, White Impermanence sighed and said, “Initially, we all thought Buddhism will make it through, that it was just a test. We stood by and watched.”

“Yeah, after their journey to the West, Buddhism was more successful than ever. We all thought Buddhism facing a challenge would be fun to watch.”

Black Impermanence nodded. Then, he said, “Who knew that when Buddha reincarnated for the ninth time, which was the final reincarnation before Buddha return, the Demons rise up again. They completely wiped out Buddhism. The entire religion was eliminated.”

Nanan and Dragin exclaimed, “How did that happen? Isn’t Buddhism very powerful?”

“A black-robed cultivator attacked.” White Impermanence looked extremely terrified. He lowered his voice, “He had a black spear in his hand. He is too powerful. He wiped out Buddhism with clean attacks. Everyone was shocked and frightened.”

‘Black-robed cultivator?’

‘Must be the biggest boss of the Demons.’

‘But… who is he?’

Li Nianfan frowned and thought about it. He recalled all the incidences but he had no accurate guesses of who it might be. He loved legendary stories, but they were just stories, he was not that knowledgeable of the side stories.

He hinted at Black and White Impermanence to continue.

After Buddhism was wiped out, the Demons were restless. They were riled up, starting to cause chaos on the land. The black-robed cultivator was ruthless. Everyone had to team up and work together.

The Demons were defeated. The Zixiao Palace Door was suddenly opened by an ancestor, a lot of Saints and powerful cultivators were summoned and gathered there.

No one knew what they discussed. They only knew that everyone looked disturbed and worried. They went to their retreats after that meeting.

“Then, came the big tribulation. That was chaotic. Immortal Beasts, Humans, Demons, and Saints were all affected. No one was safe. They were fighting with other species and among themselves. A lot of internal conflicts. As for the specific reasons why, I don’t really know.”

“As time went on, the world became like this. Realms were split up. The era right now is called the Absolute Era.”

Li Nianfan nodded and organized his information. The so-called ‘ancestor’ was clearly Hongjun Laozu without a doubt.

He did not care about anything else, he only wanted to know one thing. ‘Is my Deluxe Merit Flesh useful in a big tribulation? It is too scary. I don’t ask for much, I just want to be safe.’

Black and White Impermanence finally took their glasses to drink the wine. Then, they smacked their lips. They looked like they fully enjoyed it.

‘Argh~ Good wine, delicious, awesome!’

They lived for so long, they agreed that was the best wine they ever had!

A glass of wine was equivalent to years of hard cultivation. Hard cultivation for hundreds of years and living for hundreds of years were two different things. A glass of wine was equivalent to a breakthrough!

They drank five glasses already. That was five hundred years’ worth of hard cultivation!

Li Nianfan waved at the servants next to him, “Pour for the Sires.”

Black and White Impermanence was slightly embarrassed. They hurriedly said, “Thanks, Mr. Li. You are too generous.”

‘Boohoo, the expert blessed us with breakthroughs just because he is happy. He is too nice to us.’

…

Meanwhile.

Blackie was on the way home.

Blackie naturally did not need the Onis to escort. Blackie sent the Onis away with a gaze.

It did not rush to go back. Blackie played and enjoyed the view on the way back. It was a carefree dog.

Danger naturally did not exist for Blackie. It leisurely went to the Ganlong Immortal Dynasty.

A Green Fur Lion slowly passed by in the sky while stepping on clouds.

Its eyes were wide and round like coins. It had thick fur. It seemed to be talking to itself.

“Who is it exactly that is worth the Master to ask for a peace treaty? Master also gave away a jar of Immortal Wine. I feel like the Master made a big deal out of nothing.”

“We are in the Absolute Era, who else could be that powerful? If he isn’t extraordinary, I will simply eat him to help the Master!”

“Sheesh, I should drink the wine instead.”

It talked to itself and chuckled. It slapped on the jar of wine to remove the lid. Then, it chugged the wine.

“Burp~ Nice! Such a beautiful wine. How can I give it to an outsider? Hehe…”

The giant lion blushed while it smacked its lips. It stumbled and started walking drunkenly.

It looked down while being drunk.

It saw the black dog.

The black dog was doing an elegant catwalk with its head up high. It jogged and leaped. Anyone could feel its happiness.

It was innocent and free.

What a happy black dog.

The Green Fur Lion was obsessed. It even started to tear up uncontrollably.

Its mind went off somewhere far away.

It had a flashback to when it was a little lion cub.

At that time, it did not know how to cultivate, it did not know how to do anything. It ate, slept, and wake up every day. It was carefree. A very happy time for the lion.

Everything changed when it became a cultivator.

It sighed and said, “Sigh, my happiest days. Days when I have no cultivation. Truthfully, I am not even that interested in cultivation.”

Blackie wagged its body and out flew an orange from the parcel. The orange made a perfect curve when it was tossed into the sky. Blackie chomped it with a ‘squish’.

Orange juice splashed everywhere. It was delicious.

Blackie jumped around with joy.

Green Fur Lion was inspired, “Look at that. The dog was happy because it just ate an orange. Happiness in simplicity. I am far beyond the simple joys in life.”

It felt like it learned something. The lion was about to leave.

Then, it returned with ‘swoosh’. It shook its head because something felt off.

Its coin-like eyes almost popped out of its skull. The lion rubbed its eyes with its paw and stared at the dog again!

“Yikes—”

‘Spiritual Fruit!’

‘That orange is a Spiritual Fruit!’

‘How did a Spiritual Fruit appear in the Immortal Realm?’

It did not have time to think about anything else, especially when Blackie tossed another apple in the air. Its smooth lion fur stood on end. The lion had a twisted facial expression.

The lion felt like the dog was eating its flesh instead of an apple!

‘This lucky dog! How did it deserve to eat Spiritual Fruit?’

It immediately swooped down from the sky and landed behind Blackie. The lion was going to take a closer look.

‘Score. This lion is about to be score!’

It reached out. It was about to have the Spiritual Fruit.

The black dog suddenly kicked with its hind paw.

“Bam!”

Green Fur Lion flew back and tumbled. Its round eyes were filled with confusion.

It fell ungracefully to the ground with a ‘splat’.

‘I seem to be kicked away by that dog?’

It sobered up and slapped itself on the head.

‘Must be a hallucination.’

‘It’s just a dog. How can it kick me away?’

It stared at the parcel again and smirked. The lion tried to pounce on the dog again.

It instigated, “Dog, come on. Kick me if you can!”

Blackie leisurely turned around.

“Slap slap!”

The dog paws were as quick as the wind. It slapped the lion from left to right without a trace on sight.

Green Fur Lion became a punching bag for Blackie. It felt dizzy and could not differentiate directions. Its head was hurting. The lion lost the ability to think.

“Where did this kitty cat come from? How dare you disturb my good mood?” Blackie stopped.

Green Fur Lion had its tongue out while it laid on the ground unconscious. The lion rolled its eyes and chuckled like a deranged person, it seemed like it was wasted.

“Whatever. I’m near home anyway. This will be my add-on meal.”

Blackie simply carried the Green Fur Lion and continued with its runway-walk, “Xiaobai, start the fire. Please help me make Braised Meat Ball.”
