I'm Actually a Cultivation Bigshot

Chapter 393 All I Did Was To be Obsequious To Someone Else At The Right Timing

“The world has suddenly become quiet and peaceful.”

Li Nianfan felt utterly at ease. He slowly kept the bottle of insecticide and gave the item a five-star rating. ‘It’s indeed a good thing, high-quality stuff!

Daji and the rest closed their mouths that were slightly opened and took in a deep breath while composing their emotions.

Initially, they were mentally prepared to be engaged in a deadly battle. After all, those two were the Natural Beasts from the Daluo Golden Immortal realms! Natural Beasts could be classified as beasts of the same generation of dragons and phoenixes. When the realm was being formed, there would naturally be a bright side and a dark side. The Natural Beasts were born following the great disasters on land. They were naturally cruel and were also overwhelming

Daji, the Fire Phoenix, and the forces from the surroundings were at most just from the Taiyi Golden Immortal realms. If they were to be engaged in a deadly battle, the chances of them emerging as victors were slim.

‘Mosquitoes...are difficult to handle.’

In the meantime, they did not hope for Li Nianfan to take any action. After all, the experts were very clear with the position they set for themselves. They would not take any action. With them being the Deluxe Merit Saints, they were not the slightest bit worried that others might attack them. They were just purely like guests looking at others from high above.

Despite feeling a pinch in their hearts, they were not so full of themselves to think that they had what it took to make the expert make an exception for them and that he would be willing to reveal some extraordinary skills. Yet, never would they expect that the situation that was presented before them would be cleared off so easily. ‘He just randomly took an item and sprayed it once or twice. The opponents couldn’t even defend against it and ended up just dropping onto the ground, dead.’

Daji said curiously, “Sir, what did you use to spray at the mosquitoes earlier?”

“It’s just an insecticide. It’s not some great item. The only effect it has is that it possesses a great destructive force against bugs.”

Li Nianfan casually said, “These items were being piled up in the storeroom. It won’t be used on usual days but lately, I realized there have been just way too many mosquitoes. Besides, I even took into consideration that I’ll be disturbed by the mosquitos when I’m enjoying the show in an open area during the night. Hence, I thought I might as well bring it along. I didn’t realize it would really come in handy.”

‘Again, it’s the storeroom...’

Daji and the Fire Phoenix looked at each other.

‘It really is an awesome storeroom. The items in it were being piled up by the expert like trash. Occasionally, he would just take out an item and that would be enough to stun the entire world. In the sky, the Seven Princesses who were initially still trying to land on the ground at high speed were petrified. They were frozen mid-air.

Especially the other five princesses, apart from Cheng Yi and Ziye. Their mouths formed an ‘O’ shape as if they had bumped into a ghost.

‘Did the generation change after we’ve been sealed up for so many years? Why do I get the feeling that I can’t seem to grasp the situation?’

Big Sister, who was wearing a red dress, glared at the scene. She snapped out of it suddenly and said, “Oh my god! After being sealed up for so long, I can’t believe that my vision has deteriorated. I mistook the two mosquitoes from earlier as the Natural Beasts of the Daluo Golden Immortals. It really spooked me.”

The fourth princess who was wearing a long green dress was blinking her eyes. She said, “I’m sorry, Big Sister. I think those two were indeed Natural Beasts.” Big Sister was slightly stunned and added, “Then, it’s still because my vision has deteriorated. I can’t believe that the stuff that was being sprayed feels ordinary.”

Ly’s eyes continued to glitter. “About that... the stuff that was sprayed was indeed very ordinary...”

Big Sister felt like her mind was in a mess. She rearranged her statement before blurting it out, “A mortal holding onto an ordinary spray was able to defeat a Natural Beast from the Daluo Golden Immortal realm?”

The third princess, Huang, nodded her head. “I think, it’s...that’s the truth.”

“Alright, enough talking!” Cheng spoke up. After the astonishment she had at the very beginning, she felt that it was just something that happened in their mindset.

She said cautiously, “That man’s the expert who helped you guys get rid of the seals. Also, it’s all thanks to this expert that the Emperor and Empress were able to escape! Using the spray to kill the Natural Beasts is only a basic operation. You guys should recompose yourself and later, make sure you don’t simply go around speaking carefreely!”

“He’s so awesome.” The fifth princess, Qing, was astonished. Then, she said, “Suddenly, I find him very handsome!”

“Better mind your language!” Ziye quickly tapped Qing. “Better behave yourself when you’re in front of the expert!”

The sixth princess, Lan, could not help but shrink her neck as she took two steps back. She said with a weak tone, “Seventh Sister, why don’t you guys go ahead. With such an overwhelming being around, I... I’m afraid...”

k a deep breath and said, “The expert is just right ahead of us. If you return now, it’s going to show how impolite you are. Let us all go and greet him. Remember, mind your image!”

After saying it, the seven people, with their colorful dresses swaying gracefully and with stances of fairies landing in the Immortal realm, flew toward Li Nianfan.

They were really eye-catching. Seven long dresses of a variety of colors, auras that solely belonged to the fairies, cold and gorgeous faces that always looked composed, soon attracted Li Nianfan’s attention.

The seven of them landed along with the breeze, and said simultaneously, “Hong, Cheng, Huang... Greetings to Mr. Li.”

Li Nianfan saw Cheng Yi and Ziye and he knew what had happened. “They must be here to report good news.’ Hence, he said with a smile, “Congratulations to the Seven Princesses for breaking through the seal. This is great news.”

He gazed at the Seven Princesses with a critical gaze. He had no comments for their appearance. Each of them had their advantages in their appearance. Besides, they were easily recognizable and could easily identify them according to the color of the dresses that they wore. At that moment, they were facing him with a smiley face and they were all glancing at him curiously.

Amongst them, there were two who left quite an impression on Li Nianfan. One of them was Huang, who was wearing a yellow dress. Her eyes were glittering as if they were very lively. When she noticed Li Nianfan looking in her direction, she even purposely batted her eyelids a few times. She had a very active personality. The other one was Lan. She came in later than the rest of them and was utterly cautious. She looked like a little girl who went outdoors following her elder sisters.

The wonderful experience of being surrounded by Seven Princesses should not be notified to other people.

Cheng Yi bowed and said with gratitude, “We still have to thank Mr. Li. If it wasn’t for you, I’m afraid it would’ve been the end for us.”

Li Nianfan waved his hand and said, “To tell the truth, I didn’t help out much. I didn’t even think that the solution of changing into lights would really be effective. I’ve learned something as well.”

Cheng Yi and Ziye noticed that he did not mention the fact of him kneading the dough puppets. They got the expert’s hint and did not speak anymore.

Ziye said sincerely, “No matter what happened, this time, Mr. Li has indeed helped us, the Heavenly Palace, a lot. You’re the savior to us, the Heavenly Palace!”

Li Nianfan smiled and said, “It was all by a coincidence. As long as the Heavenly Palace has recovered.”

Cheng Yi knew she should stop. She bowed and said with respect, “It’s getting late. We shall not interrupt Mr. Li taking your rest. Once we’ve settled the issues with the Heavenly Palace, we’ll come and pay our visit to express our gratitude.”

Li Nianfan clasped his hands together in respect. “If that’s the case, then fellow princesses, I hereby take my leave.”

On the other hand, Styx Laozu retrieved his spear and stood upright. Seeing that he could not do any harm to the Jade Emperor and Empress, he blurted out a few ruthless lines and then left the scene.

His expression was dark, and soon, he arrived at a commotion. Further ahead, there was black fog. At that moment, the black fog was trembling, obviously displaying that it was in a foul mood.

Styx Laozu was feeling rather unpleasant within himself and snorted, “My Mosquito friend, what’s wrong with you? I didn’t ask for you to interfere when I’m brawling with Hao Tian and the Empress, but why is it that you seem to suffer a greater injury than me?”.

The black fog gradually dispersed and within it came a slim outline of a figure draped with a black cloak over it. However, the black hat that it was wearing was concealing its face. Only the pair of eyes that were glowing a bloody red could be seen, along with the sharp teeth poking out from its mouth.

“The other two young mosquitoes that I formed are dead as well, and they both died in a very ridiculous manner!”

Her voice was clear and deep, accompanied by a sense of disbelief. “I witnessed their death. They were dead when that Deluxe Merit Saint used that weird spray and sprayed them to death. They died immediately without even struggling.”

Before she went to bed, she even purposely used up her blood to cultivate three young mosquitoes. She even made them grow stronger. She never thought that she would wake up from slumber only to find the three young mosquitoes dead without even making any contribution. ‘I really have lost a lot.’

Styx Laozu raised his brows. “That spray must be at least a prestigious Heavenly Spiritual Treasure to be able to kill two Daluo Golden Immortals instantly. How is it that I haven’t heard of such a treasure before?”

“That spray’s very unusual. It was as if its very existence was to use it against me. It’s very terrifying.” The Mosquito Taoist was terrified. Under the cloak, her eyes kept glittering. That was also one of the reasons she did not dare to rashly take any actions. She was afraid she would just drop dead as such...

“You just lost a few of your lackeys. No big deal to it.” Styx Laozu casually waved his hand. Then, he added, “Actually, in this mission, my intention was just to probe around. The Heavenly Palace being able to stand tall on its own was also beyond my expectation. It’s obvious that apart from Jade Emperor and Empress, there are other factors to it. I’m afraid that person’s Spiritual Cultivation is much higher than ours.”

The Mosquito Taoist said coldly, “Your probing cost me my only two young mosquitos!”

“This is also not what I wanted to happen.” Styx Laozu paused for a moment and then started boasting, “This plan is definitely perfect as it included the Heavenly Palace, the Underworld, the dragons, and the phoenix. If it proceeds smoothly, it will bestow a great deal of damage to them, and even if the plan fails to work out, we get to know our enemies’ abilities. We can probe around and see if there are other factors behind the scene that will influence the outcome of the battle.”

The Mosquito Taoist said, “Hmph, so what are you preparing to do next?”

“Right now with the Heavenly Palace being reborn, many of the seals in the Heaven and Earth dimension will for sure be broken anytime. I believe there will be lots of people who can’t tolerate the loneliness and be reincarnated. When that time arrives, I’ll take the initiative to help out more people to be reborn, join forces with many others, and strengthen myself!”

Styx Laozu giggled and continued saying, “There are lots of people who do not wish for the Heavenly Palace to be reestablished. I’ll just need to instigate them from within. A miracle is bound to happen. That time, we’ll just have to sit around and wait to collect our reward. Isn’t that a perfect plan?”

In the Heavenly Palace, at Lingxiao Palace.

The Jade Emperor and Empress were continuously greeting the Immortals who just woke up.

They felt as if they were just snapped out of their dreams. After a brief moment of being in a daze, they were all astonished.

Then, all of them started saying politely, “Greetings from us to Your Highness and the Empress.”

The Jade Emperor lifted his hand slightly and said sternly, “Everyone, you can skip the formalities.”

“Thank you, Your Highness.”

An old man with white hair was holding a horsetail whisk in his hand. On his forehead was a star that was shining. He immediately said, “You’re being too kind, Your Highness. After so many years have passed, you still haven’t forgotten a trivial Immortal like me. You’re willing to take actions that defy Heaven’s laws and break the seal for my sake. How should I repay you? I’m starting to feel guilty!”

As he was speaking, he was feeling utterly touched. He wiped off the tears at the corner of his eyes.

The other Immortals dared not procrastinate and immediately burst into tears and said sincerely, “Your Highness, you must have put in lots of effort to save us all. We’ll all remember what you’ve done for us in our hearts forever and are willing to offer our lives to you!”

The Jade Emperor sat on the throne and looked at all the Immortals who had confused expressions on their faces and were feeling utterly guilty.

‘You all have overly praised me.

‘I didn’t put in lots of effort. All I did was to be respectful to someone else during the right timing.

‘I’m afraid this might sound like a joke.’

He retained his expression and said, “Everyone, you all don’t have to behave in such a way. This time, you were able to recover thanks to an expert. This person’s a very important person to me, and even more so, an important person to the Heavenly Palace!”

“There’s such a person in this world?” Taibai Jinxing was shocked and quickly answered, “Then, what are we waiting for? Hurry up and invite this person into the palace and give him a rank!”

“Mind your words. Despite this person preferring to keep a low profile, this person appears to have a much higher status than me. Obviously, it’s not a good idea to give him a position. I’ve thought of how I should deal with this.”

The Jade Emperor’s expression was serious as he said sternly, “Let me tell you all. From now onward, all of you should treat this expert with the utmost respect. The slightest disrespect will not be tolerated!”

“We will all heed your command!” All the Immortals exchanged looks with each other, feeling suspicious.

The Jade Emperor waved his hand and then opened up his palms. He faced the sky and said, “Alright, right now, the Heavenly Palace requires lots of helpers. I need to reestablish the official positions in the palace and redo the orders of Heavenly Palace! I hereby boldly summon... Tiandi Seal!”

A hush befell the scene.

The Jade Emperor’s palms hovered above him, yet there was no reply.

The scene took an awkward turn.

As the saying went, ‘a king would have to be acknowledged by the gods, and the gods would naturally need to be acknowledged by the heavens’. Despite the Jade Emperor gaining the position of a god, only by placing the seal could his position be officially recognized, and only then would he obtain the acknowledgment and blessings of Heaven. However...the Heavenly Palace was almost vanishing, and the Tiandi Seal was gone. ‘Wouldn’t the Heavenly Palace be the same as any ordinary powerful sect?’

None of the Immortals spoke a word and they had all lowered their heads. It was as if they knew nothing and chose to be an ostrich.

“Well... ” Currently, in the Jade Emperor’s heart, he could not help but feel embarrassed. “This is bad. Do you think it’s time for the Jade Emperor to announce the dismissal of the Heavenly Palace?’

The Empress was standing beside him and a thought suddenly popped up in her mind. She whispered, “Jade Emperor, why don’t you try using the expert’s fame?”

The Jade Emperor’s expression became slightly serious and after hesitating for a very long time. He gradually got up from the throne. With much caution, he bowed in the direction of the Fallen Immortal Mountain. “I, Hao Tian, am helpless. Today, I hereby boldly use the name of Mr. Li. Please, forgive my actions.”

Following that, he returned to his seat and said with a straight face, “I hereby, with the name of Li Nianfan who is the Deluxe Merit Saint of the Immortal Realm, summon the Tiandi Seal!”

Broom!

A thunderbolt suddenly appeared in the sky. The lightning that took the shape of a zigzag struck through the heavens. The Immortal Realm trembled at the same time. Following that, a ray of light shot out from the confusion from far away, forming a seal that fused between the brows of the Jade Emperor!

“This...really is happening?”

The Immortals below the stage were stunned seeing the scene and could no longer act like an ostrich. They felt as if they were in a dream. Yet, all the Jade Emperor did was to announce a certain person’s name, and the Tiandi Seal immediately revealed itself. ‘This... won’t it make him feel dissatisfied?’

It was as if a citizen was rushing to present a gift to an honorable person, not bothering whether or not the latter would even appreciate the gift as he thought that giving a present would be better than not doing it. ‘Who the hell is this person? Is his name really that influential?’

Taibai Jinxing felt his body trembling. He said with a shaky voice, “Your... Highness, if I may boldly ask...is this person the expert...that you just mentioned earlier?” The Jade Emperor looked at everyone’s surprised reaction. His mouth curled into a smile and said while nodding his head, “That’s right.”

“Slurp...a big shot. What a big shot!”

“Scary. This is just way too creepy!”

“No wonder he’s able to break our seals. To be honest, I’ve already guessed that with just the Jade Emperor’s abilities, this seal would never be able to break...”

“I’ve got the same thinking as you.”
