I'm Actually a Cultivation Bigshot

Chapter 645: ?A Shocking Plot Twist, Resurrecting People From the River of Time

Suddenly, Dragin stopped crying and happily said, “I’ll bring some back for Brother Li.” She then carefully packed up the fruit. The Chaos energy beings would have had a heart attack at Dragin’s one hundred and eighty degree change. How could the expert be all that she was thinking about when confronted with their tragic tale?

Cultivator Junjun and the rest of the group came forward with shiny eyes.

“It’s really a fruit! Yes!”

“The expert will definitely love this!”

“Yeah, let’s quickly bring it back to the expert. Well, our time has certainly been well spent.”

Suddenly they froze in place when they felt an oppressive aura coming from the Soul Master and Elite King who were facing each other as their energy current clashed against each other in the air.

“The answer you’re looking for lies somewhere deep in that river,” said the Soul Master with an air of indifference. The Elite King nodded at her and air-walked along the river path. The space around him seemed to become distorted as he quickly vanished from their sight.

“Soul Master, what river is this?” Dragin asked, brimming with curiosity.

“Rivers are normally made up of silt deposits while this river is made up of time deposits. Thus, it was named the River of Time,” replied the Soul Master. Everyone’s eyes widened at the same time. They could not believe the River of Time really exists in the universe. This meant they would be able to go back in time and undo all the things that brought them regret. That would give them the ability to rewrite histories! Their breath became labored as their minds went into overdrive.

“Don’t even think about it. Not one of you possesses enough cultivation to travel through the River of Time. There’s no doubt you all will become lost and trapped inside at your current level,” said the Soul Master, bringing them all back to the present.

Cultivator Junjun took a deep breath. “Never in our wildest dreams will we expect the River of Time to be here.”

The Soul Master shook her head. “It didn’t used to be here. Someone must have willed it here.”

Everyone sucked in a breath of air. “Who in the world possesses the ability to do that?”

The Soul Master looked at them with a hint of surprise. “I guess it’s probably the expert.”

“Yes! It’s probably him! Who else could it be?”

“Oh so the expert had already planned this all along.”

“He’s a genius!”

“Do you think the expert is making preparations to change the course of history?”

The praises came fast once the realization dawned on them. After all, the expert is of an omnipotent existence to them.

“Soul Master, do you have any idea on what the expert is planning to do?” Nuwa asked. Only when they knew what the expert was planning to do could they be of service to him.

The Soul Master did not reply immediately. Instead, she changed the topic. “The existence of the River of Time was an impossible feat of itself. It will never be recognized by Chaos. The fact this amount of energy could gather in this ancient battleground is due to the existence of the River of Time. The reflection of the years meant that the era had been resurrected!”

The group felt there was a hidden message in her words but chose not to delve deeper into it.

“I came here to find the Remnant Soul of my past and accidentally entered the River of Time. While there, I discovered many secrets. One of them being the reason for the loss in the Battle of Great Tribulation. Someone had purposely messed with the River of Time.” The Soul Master tone was low and grave. “Someone wants to go back in the River of Time to kill the young Elite!”

The group gasped out in horror and there was anger in their eyes.

“Shameless! What a coward!”

“The Eldritch clan must be behind this!”

“Yeah! They had to resort to this kind of method because they couldn’t win in a real fight against the Elite Beings!” ”

The Soul Master had somewhat recovered after entering the River of Time and had gained more knowledge. “My guess is the expert plans to resurrect someone from the River of Time.”

Everyone broke out in goosebumps at her word, scarcely believing what they had heard for what she was suggesting was an impossible near-impossible feat. Even in the divinely controlled world of the Three Realms in the Prehistoric, it would be difficult to obtain an approval from the Underworld. What was more to say about the Three Realms for the whole of Chaos? It would mean that one would have to have the whole of Chaos under their control to be able to resurrect someone.

Not to mention, the time-travelling factor drastically increased the level of difficulty of the task. Besides, the expert would not expend so much effort for a normal person. It would have to be for someone of the Elite Being level.

The Soul Master waited for everyone to finish processing the new information before continuing on. “Based on what you’ve told me, the expert is surrounded by many incredible things, Chaos spiritual treasures, and has created many Chaos bloodlines. It would not be far-fetched of me to say he’s trying to resurrect the Elite Beings and extinct Chaos Spiritual Roots!”

They had guessed correctly – the expert was really planning to resurrect the Elite Beings.

“Do you mean to say the plants in the expert’s backyard and the energetic beings he’s keeping could all be the Elite Beings from the past?” Cultivator Junjun asked incredulously.

The Soul Master nodded her head. “Yes! He did not limit himself to resurrecting those from the Battle of Great Tribulation but all of the Elites and Spiritual Roots since time immemorial.”

Once again, the group gasped out in horror. They felt their brains were about to explode from the sheer ambitiousness of the expert.

“Am I the reincarnation of an Elite Being as well? That doesn’t seem likely for I don’t have any memory of my previous life,” said Old Dragon who was in a state of shock. According to logic, he should be since he had been kept in the backyard’s pond all this while.

“Resurrection is not the same concept as walk-in which is inheriting the battle soul of the Elite Being. Your memories might come back to you one day or they might not. It doesn’t mean that you will become a completely different person. ”

There were many different Wisdom involved in this matter and it could not be easily explained in such a short time. Besides, the Chaos would not have allowed it anyway. The same thing as last time happened to the Soul Master again — she found herself being censored by the Chaos.

“I wonder which of the Elite’s Battle Soul Heritage did the Old Dragon inherit if he’s really a reincarnated being. Do you think it’s the Lackadaisical Elite?” Cultivator Junjun mused with a faint smile on his lips.

“I’m not deserving of your praise. I’m just Old Dragon now,” said Old Dragon, returning the smile.

“Oh, you thought it was a praise,” said a dead-panned Cultivator Junjun.

“What else could it be?” Old Dragon asked quizzically.

Dragin batted her eyelid. “Soul Master, why did Brother Li choose to live his life as a mortal?” She was more worried about this matter for it concerned Li Nianfang’s life and death.

“He’s probably ***,” replied the Soul Master.

The group became increasingly frustrated at the censor.

“The fates will be changed if I say it out loud. Anyways, just don’t disturb his cultivation training, ok? Keep in mind that it will be the end for Chaos should anything untoward happen to the expert,” said the Soul Master with an air of resignation. The group felt pressured by the tone of her voice.

However, they were in agreement with the Soul Masters word and gave their promises. “Got it! We’ll protect the expert with everything we’ve got!”

The Soul Master nodded her head and entered the River of Time without saying anything further. She felt called by the River of Time, as if something of importance to her was pulling her inside. The group started at the river and countless thoughts flashed through their minds. It was akin to feeling of magnaminty when confronted with an ocean’s boundless horizon.

“Let’s go. We should head back now,” said Old Dragon serenely.

“Yes, let’s bring the game meat and fruit back to the expert.”

“Hold on a minute. I wanna get some materials from here so I can ask master to fix my short leather pants,” said Blackie.

After a while, the group left the ancient battleground and created a barrier to hide the location before going back to the Area of the Gods.

Inside the four-part architecture, Li Nianfang was playing hide-and-seek with Daji, Fire Phoenix, Qin Manyun and Si Tuqin. He was blindfolded and groping around for the four girls who were weaving around him.

“Master, I’m here.”

“Master Li, come here.”

“You’ll never catch me!”

“Ha, I caught you!”

However, all Li Nianfang could feel was the coldness of a metal gnocchi.

“Master, the way you’re touching me is making me blush,” said Xiao Bai.

“Sh*t Xiao Bai, what are you doing here?” Li Nianfang asked with surprise.

“Master, you’re making me sad. I can speak in a female voice too if you want,” replied Xiao Bai. Then, in a high-pitched voice, “Play with me, Brother Li.”

“Ugh, that’s enough!” Li Nianfang felt his stomach churning. “Don’t blame me for ending your life if you keep this up.”

The game then ended due to Xiao Bai’s interruption. It was just as while as everybody was tired. They sat down to rest.

“Xiao Bai, make us some freshly squeezed juice,” ordered Li Nianfang.

Suddenly, Dragin’s and Nanan’s voices could be heard coming from outside. “Brother Li, we’re back!”

“Come in, come in,” said Li Nianfang with a smile.

Cultivator Junjun, Nuwa, Dragin and Nanan went in the four-part architecture to pay their respect to Li Nianfang. “Greetings to Lord Saint.”

Their feelings toward Li Nianfang had changed. The respect they felt for him was like a geyser blowing. Before them, was the expert who could will the River of Time into existence, resurrect the Elites, and the mastermind behind every plan. He was the king of all idols and yet had always treated them as equal. At the thought of this, they could feel tears about to come out of their eyes.

“You’re all here. How’s everything? Did you manage to solve the problem?” Li Nianfang asked.

Dragin nodded her head. “Although there was a huge obstacle in the way, we’ve managed to solve everything and obtained some really good stuff.”

It was only then Li Nianfang noticed the ten or so Heavenly Dragons’ corpses. Even in their death there was a dignity to them that could not be easily eliminated.

“Oh! They’re silver dragons. These are quite rare.” Li Nianfang gave them a good look and started drooling. He was looking forward to the dishes he would create with the new ingredient. The more attractive the game meat was, the more Li Nianfang wanted to have a taste of it.

“These dragons tried to kill me!” Dragin said angrily.

“What? How dare they? Don’t worry, Brother Li will take care of them!” Li Nianfang said in an equally angry tone.

He knew that Dragin only went out because she was summoned by a senior Heavenly Dragon. It might have had something to do with a Heritage so it was not surprising when the Dragons tried to kill Dragin.

“Thank you, Brother Li!” Dragin said with a nod. She then took out the fruit and said, “By the way, we’ve brought you this too. Can you check whether this is a fruit?”

“A dragonfruit?” Li Nianfang cried out happily. It was indeed a happy surprise. Before long, he would have collected all the fruits in his previous life.

“Is this really a fruit?” Dragin asked happily and excitedly.

Li Nianfang nodded. “Yes. Thank you all!” Then he turned to Xiao Bai and ordered him to bring out a fruit knife which he promptly brought out.

“Brother Li, you don’t plan to grow it? Is this not plantable? Are you sure you want to cut it like this? It’s the only one after all,” Dragin said.

“Haha, silly girl. Of course I’m going to grow it. But we’ll need to get the seeds from inside.” He then cut the dragonfruit in half to reveal its white flesh dotted with millions of black seeds. “See, these black dots are the seeds. I’ll need to pick them out for planting. I can guarantee you there’ll be enough for all once the seeds are grown!”

“Oh, so that’s how it works!” Dragin said with a voice full of admiration.

It was at this time Blackie padded toward Li Nianfang and muzzled his head against his legs. He looked up towards him with big say puppy dog eyes. Li Nianfang looked down and became shocked. “What happened? Why is there a big hole in your pants?”

Blackie laid down all the fur and leather skin he had collected from the ancient battleground on the floor. “Master, can you fix my leather pants?” He asked pitifully.

Li Nianfang smiled at his ingenuity of preparing the materials beforehand. He patted him on the head and said adoringly, “Of course, of course. I’ll patch it up for you soon.”
