I'm Actually a Cultivation Bigshot

Chapter 447: The Expert Starts to Freestyle

Big Lord Demon asked, “You want the dead bodies of the Saints?”

Styx Laozu nodded. He smiled and said, “Seems like you do know where they are.”

Big Lord Demon kept looking away. He asked, “The bodies of the Saints are indeed with the Demons. But what do you want to do with them? Perhaps you want to borrow their bodies to cultivate?”

The Bloody Sea was ultimately evil in the realm. It birthed Mosquito Taoist who could suck blood to become powerful. Styx Laozu was also a blood cultivator. He cultivated death and killings, devouring millions of souls to cultivate.

His purpose was very easy to guess.

“That’s right.” Styx Laozu had no issues admitting it. Then, he said, “Don’t worry. Your Lord Demon God and I are old friends. Doing this doesn’t hurt the Demons. It’s beneficial to the Demons, too.”

Big Lord Demon had a red glint in his eyes. He sneered, “Ha, how can I trust you?”

Styx Laozu was blacklisted by the Demons ever since the God Killing Spear incident. Big Lord Demon thought to himself, ‘You want to gain benefits here again? Do you think the Demons are easy to bully? Do you think this is a great place to trick us?’

“Back then, your Lord Demon God fought the Buddha. In the end, he was defeated. He stayed in my Bloody Sea for millions of years to heal. I’m his old friend.”

Styx Laozu spoke slowly, “Your Lord Demon God also informed me about the catastrophe. We also made plans! The Absolute Era’s supposed to weaken the Humans’ Luck, and you Demons should’ve replaced the Humans. You Demons were supposed to kill countless lives so the Styx River can collect their souls. It was a win-win plan. However, something happened. There was a change in the plan.”

The Demons could have destroyed the Humans. However, the Human Sovereign was suddenly born. New Buddhist temples were created. The Absolute Era had suddenly come to a stop. Humans greatly increased in Luck. The Demons were falling at an unimaginably fast rate. It was unexpected and unprecedented.

Big Lord Demon frowned and looked at Styx Laozu. He did not speak.

“Truthfully, the catastrophe was partly caused by your Lord Demon God back then.”

Styx Laozu smiled. He was clearly knowledgeable about the secrets of the past. He continued, “Also, you can’t hesitate anymore. Buddhism, the Heavenly Palace, and the Underworld are rising. If you give them more time, you Demons will never see the light of day!”

“You think you can do anything about it?” Big Lord Demon looked at Styx Laozu. He said, “It’s not that I look down on you. But you’ve heard about the famous incident of Kunpeng being cooked in a pot of soup, right? Do you think you’re more powerful than Kunpeng?”

“That’s why I came here to look for you.”

Styx Laozu said with seriousness, “Kunpeng’s the best example. If we don’t take action, I’m afraid that death awaits us in the end. The only way to get out of this…is to improve!”

“Improve?” Big Lord Demon stared at Styx Laozu with confusion. “Are you perhaps talking about becoming a Saint?”

“Ha, this is what your Lord Demon God told me by the way. The level above Daluo Golden Immortals isn’t Saints!”

Styx Laozu was passionate and excited. He exclaimed, “Saints are just an honorific. It’s a reward title! The level above Daluo Golden Immortals is technically Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal!”

Saint just had a nice ring to it like ‘A-plus student’. It could not represent the actual cultivation state.

“I see.”

Big Lord Demon looked enlightened. He thought Styx Laozu was a smart old fox that knew a lot.

However, he still hesitated.

Styx Laozu said, “You have no choice but to trust me!”

Big Lord Demon clenched his jaw. “Fine, come with me!”

It was good that he could trouble the Heavenly Palace no matter the circumstance.

…

In the backyard of the four-part architecture.

Li Nianfan put aside his carving knife. He observed the red gourd and nodded with satisfaction.

The gourd looked normal but there was a Phoenix image on it. The Phoenix had its wings stretched out. It looked prestigious, proud, and mysterious. It was perfect for the Fire Phoenix.

Li Nianfan had seen her true form multiple times. He carefully observed every part of her body because he was curious. He did not need to imagine what she looked like as a Phoenix.

He naturally carved it out without a problem.

However, Li Nianfan had more than the gourd in those three days.

He looked at the ground in front of him. There were two Peach Wood Swords on the floor.

The Peach Wood Swords were palm-sized. Their appearances were simple—they were sword-shaped with no patterns on them. However, they looked extremely refined. It looked amazing and likable.

The two Peach Wood Swords were for Nanan and Dragin. Li Nianfan wanted to carve something else once he had started carving on the gourd. He coincidentally noticed the Peach Trees next to the gourd. So, he decided to carve some Peach Wood Swords. Hopefully, it could bring luck to the children.

Li Nianfan put the gourd aside. He picked up the Peach Wood Swords on the floor. He was about to surprise them.

However, he saw a fallen leaf when he picked up the Peach Wood Swords. He picked it up and observed it.

The leaf was extremely green. It seemed to be glimmering like an emerald. The leaf was veiny and smooth, too. It was unexpectedly soft. It was a high-quality leaf.

The leaf fell from the little tree that was planted next to the pond. The little tree was as high as a man with a lot of leaves.

“Such a nice leaf. Would be a waste to not use it for whistling.”

Li Nianfan had an idea. He caressed the edge of the leaf and sat next to the pond. He enjoyed the gentle breeze while he looked at the scenery. He instantly felt great. He wanted to play some music.

The sound of the wind, the stream, and the shuffling leaves were beautiful.

He looked at the resting old tortoise next to the pond. He immediately stepped on a cloud and floated on top of the tortoise. He looked at the view from high up.

Then, he smiled. He casually sat on the shell of the tortoise. The scenery was like a painting. He placed the leaf in front of his mouth and gently blew on it. Whistling sounds could be heard.

Fuuuu—

The whistling of the leaf was soft and different from musical instruments. It was not as loud but it made the purest sounds. The natural music felt like a gentle breeze in the face. It was relaxing and nice.

Music flowed in the spacious backyard like waves. It rippled out from his mouth.

At that moment, the winds and the clouds stopped. It was like time had frozen.

The leaves instantly stopped rustling. The trees stopped shuffling, but they were slightly trembling.

Because they were excited.

‘It has begun. The master’s freestyling for us!’

They had been with Li Nianfan for a long time. They were experienced in a situation like that.

Perhaps it was inspiration, perhaps it was interest. Their master would suddenly be in the mood to play music, compose songs, paint, or make poems. He would express how he felt artistically.

It was an ordinary hobby for anyone because they had emotions. However… Their master was a powerful being. Every word and action would contain Truth and Wisdom, especially when he was inspired.

The trees felt baptized every time it happened!

Music flowed out like water.

The Peaches on the nearby Peach Trees became brighter with the music. They swayed slightly like a child. The Plum Trees that had not borne fruits yet suddenly grew out plums. The entire backyard smelled like flowers. The grass was also greener.

The buzzing Golden Bees all returned to their hive. They stopped flying and were very quiet. They laid in their hive and listened attentively.

The two Five-Color Sacred Cow sat down and laid side by side. They were mesmerized by the music.

The old tortoise underneath Li Nianfan did not move at all.

The pond slightly rippled. The Golden Dragon floated to the surface and swayed its body. The Golden Dragon enjoyed the music with shut eyes.

The music was oddly mesmerizing. Sounds would automatically vanish when the music was there. Their minds went blank and they felt as if they were turned to the wind or sunlight. They felt like they were one with the realm…

Music flowed like water from the backyard.
