I’m Actually a Cultivation Bigshot

Chapter 282: Honor the Expert’s Teachings

At the violent Southern grounds.

Blood pathed the area.

The Xia Kingdom shifted its strategy from defense to offense. Although they were not stable in the South, they managed to stop Tu Jiu and win battles.

Meanwhile, they were expanding their army under the suggestion of Meng Junliang. Signs were set up to recruit talented people.

Humans were feeling hopeful from that. Countless knowledgeable people signed up.

Zhou Yunwu was always on the front lines. At that moment, he was in a tent, listening to battlefield reports from the soldiers.

Meng Junliang was by his side. Rich was sent to the front lines because they needed backup.

Zhou Yunwu was reading an old book as if he was looking at the most precious treasure ever. He exclaimed, “The ‘Jiang’s Six Secret Teachings’ given by Mr. Li’s truly marvelous and invincible. If I can’t win the war with this war strategy, how can I ever face Mr. Li again?”

Meng Junliang said respectfully, “Mr. Li’s talents are far beyond. We have the strategy but it only applies to ordinary people. We have to be attentive to any changes on the battlefield. The Demons have a lot of tricks up their sleeves.”

Zhou Yunwu said, “Of course! Advisor, how many cultivators have we recruited so far?”

Meng Junliang replied, “The Demons aren’t afraid of death. The cultivators are more selfish and weak.”

Zhou Yunwu interrupted him, “Continue with the recruits! Make this announcement saying that if any cultivation sects join the war and achieve a victorious battle, I’m willing to share my nation’s Luck with them!”

He felt the pressure because the expert was counting on him. He had to win the war no matter what!

Meng Junliang said, “My King, there’s good news.”

“Oh? Tell me.” Zhou Yunwu was intrigued.

Meng Junliang said, “There’s an Immortal who’s a self-proclaimed Tara. The Immortal preaches Buddhism and has many disciples. They’re opposed to the Demons like water and fire, so they joined the war.”

“Haha, it’s good news indeed!”

“Also... It appears to be the doings of the expert!”

“What? Mr. Li did that?!”

Zhou Yunwu felt his heart race hearing Meng Junliang’s words. He was instantly overjoyed. He asked with a quivering voice, “This Buddhism... Perhaps it’s the same Buddhism from ‘Journey to the West’?”

He thought about the marvellous universe of ‘Journey to the West’. He had always resonated with the part where the human King had a normal conversation with the Immortals of the Heavenly Palace. He was utterly excited.

Meng Junliang calmly nodded. “I think so!”

Zhou Yunwu said respectfully, “Okay! Mr. Li must’ve predicted the Demons would become powerful, so he set up Buddhism.”

“Report—”

Suddenly, a soldier frantically rushed over with blood all over his face.

Zhou Yunwu walked out of the tent. He frowned and asked, “What?”

The soldier quickly replied, “My King, there’s a sudden haze growing in the South battlefield. We can’t see anything. General Chen Guang is dead and General Rich’s badly injured, too. We need immediate backup.”

“Demons!” Zhou Yunwu growled with a clenched jaw. Another fallen General.

“My King, the haze must be caused by the demons. I’ll go check it out.”

Meng Junliang looked at the faraway horizon. He groaned for a moment and said, “My King, I should go, too.”

Zhou Yunwu was slightly confused. “What do you mean, advisor?”

“Mr. Li created Buddhism and allowed the Tara to preach Buddhism. We’ve been too focused on the war and neglected what Mr. Li truly meant.”

Meng Junliang paused and said, “We need preachers! My King, haven’t you realized? You asked for recruits but we have very few talented people. We lack people in our army. Mr. Li once told me that he wanted me to preach! So, I’m going to set up a class and pass down Mr. Li’s knowledge.”

Philosophy, Art of War, medical skills, and farming skills were all hard to grasp. It could not be learned overnight. That was why he needed to teach it to future generations, ensuring the continuation of the legacy!

“I neglected it! Knowledge is the treasure blessed by the expert and given to the Humans. I’d rather die than let it fade away!”

Zhou Yunwu nodded and hugged Meng Junliang. “Advisor, you’ll always be my army advisor. You must protect yourself at the front lines! This is my request!”

“I will.” Meng Junliang bowed at Zhou Yunwu and walked away.

At the Southern battlefields.

Mountains were steep and the area was filled with screams and the sounds of weapons clashing.

However, the entire area was hidden by a huge haze. The haze was creepy because it came in the afternoon and it would not go away.

Figures and spells flashed nearby. The effects were dazzling.

It was the battlefield of cultivators. The cultivators were battling the Demons. It was majestic but it was also tragically violent.

They would turn into dust if they were not careful enough. Indirect attacks could shock someone to death if they were not strong enough to withstand them.

There was a beautiful figure amongst countless figures. The figure did not stand out. She had flames surrounding her, and when the red flames illuminated her face, she looked extra determined.

It was Luo Shiyu.

She casted a spell and the fiery light instantly transformed into a Fire Dragon. She wiped out the enemies around her.

However, it attracted more Demons.

Luo Shiyu was focused. She stepped out elegantly and turned into a swift breeze. She flew toward a direction and was miles away in the blink of an eye.

Four Demons were standing there with various items in their hands. They were casting a spell.

The haze was caused by them.

“Ha, little girl. Your spell’s unique. Who taught you that?”

Two black-robed Demons chuckled and attacked her.

One of them was from the Pre-Out of Aperture Realm. The other was from the Post-Out of Aperture Realm.

The battle was heated. They tried to grab Luo Shiyu. Suddenly, a black chain entangled around Luo Shiyu.

Luo Shiyu was unsettled.

She was a beginner cultivator from the Post-Yuan Ying Realm. She felt like this was out of her comfort zone.

However, she did not look afraid at all. She flicked her wrist and out came a fiery longsword.

The long sword trembled mid-air before splitting into seven fire rings. They circled her and transformed into a powerful fire tornado.

Clang!

The black chain hit the fire shields and wavered weakly.

The fire smelled like Insights, as if it was the fire of the realm. The chain started to melt. Black smoke sizzled away.

The Demons were from the superior Out of Aperture Realm. They could not believe that they were losing to a cultivator from the Yuan Ying Realm, especially when it was two against one.

They were impressed.

“Amazing. You’re just a cultivator from the Yuan Ying Realm, but you can control your powers so well. You must be a prodigy amongst the cultivators.” A Black-robed Demon with red eyes grinned maniacally. “Kill her!”

“Hmph!” Luo Shiyu sneered. Her expression was cold. She lifted her arm and wild flames danced. There were sharp swords in each flame.

She was thinking of Li Nianfan.

She thought about being with the expert. It was as if everything in the realm made sense. The expert did not teach her anything but she learned a lot just by being around him. Even a pig could learn something from the expert.

She had gained a lot of benefits.

She was going to keep it to herself. However, she ended up on the battlefield and finally showed what she was capable of. She was improving fast, too!

Endless Insights flowed in her. She realized her own weaknesses.

The battles taught her a lot.

“My talents aren’t enough. I’m ordinary in everything I do but I’m blessed to be in the expert’s good graces. I need to understand everything the expert taught me. Only then can I help the expert!”

Her mind was at peace. She felt like she was way beyond the others, as if she was looking down at the realm from the shoulders of a giant.

The writings of the expert started to resonate with her.

“Ten steps per kill, leaving no trail behind!”

Her eyes were gleaming. She had a fierce, bloody aura. It mixed with the flames.

She lifted her wrist and the seven red swords echoed. A red light flashed and the two Demons drowned in the flames. Nothing was left!

Luo Shiyu panted, a small trail of blood dripping down her pretty face. She looked creepily beautiful.

The previous Luo Shiyu would have bragged about that battle non-stop. However, she looked calm and unfazed.

It was not enough. She was embarrassed that she could not fully realize the teachings of the expert.

She scolded herself. Then, she looked to the source of the Haze Spell. She flew there with determination.

A demon jumped out. It seemed like he was the temporary leader. He pointed at Luo Shiyu and said, “She’s a prodigy cultivator, kill her!”

“Amitabha!”

Suddenly, a few bald Buddhists with shawls appeared in Buddhist lights along with hymns.

Their light was gold and blinding. Their bald heads were even shinier. They were instantly the flashiest ones at the scene.

“Lady, you don’t need to wage a battle again. Please, leave.”

Luo Shiyu said anxiously, “I have to break their Haze Spell or else the humans can’t win!”

“Don’t worry. We Buddhists won’t allow the Demons to cause trouble.”

Another wave of hymns was heard.

“Amitabha!”

Gold light shined on the battlefields. The haze was visibly cast away.

A few dark figures laughed creepily from a faraway mountain. “The Buddhist baldies are finally here!”
