I'm Actually a Cultivation Bigshot

Chapter 331: Benefits of Befriending the Onis.

Oh no! Lord Demon was gone?

Backo and Amon who were following behind the Lord Demon were dumbfounded.

They rubbed their eyes and stared at the spot where the Lord Demon vanished. There was nothing left.

He was still standing there like a big stone. How did he vanish just like that?

They looked at Nanan, perplexed.

However, Nanan already turned the gourd at them, the black hole of the gourd seemed bottomless, very intimidating.

Anxiously, all of their hair stood up all over, there were chills all over as they dared not to move.

“If I call your names, would you answer?”

All of the demons shook their heads in unison, “Not at all, not at all.”

“Gasp...”

The bunch who spoke were arranged in a row. Their bodies rose into the air and were quickly sucked into the gourd.

They were shocked and angry, they said they would not, and yet Nanan still sucked them! How mean!

By then, only the dumbfounded Amon and Backo were left out there.

They were so terrified that they forgot to answer her. Meanwhile, they turned blood-less out of fear, their originally darkened face had turned pale like a paper, their heads buzzing.

Nanan looked at the gourd perplexed, she hit it twice, ready to open her mouth again.

Backo and Amon were so terrified. Both their feet were running off the ground, they used up all of their potential to turn and run away.

They did not bother riding on the clouds, it did not take long before they ran out of sight.

Nanan could not help saying, “This gourd really does not suck in those who did not answer? The loophole is quite disturbing.”

Disturbing? Once you call someone, the person must not answer back. This was disturbing! Everyone would be caught off guard and unexpected!

This Purple Golden Gourd was indeed powerful!

Of course, the crowd only dared to complain in their minds, they still had to agree with Nanan on the surface, “Miss Nanan is so right!”

Even the General of the Bloody Sea and the Shura Ghost General had fears looking at the gourd.

“Whatever!”

Shura Ghost General stood out, he had black armor all over him without showing his face. His eyes looked complicated, “Since the expert indirectly saved my life just now, I won’t fight a duel with you.”

He looked at the General of Bloody Sea, “I’m leaving now! From now onward, I’ll quit the Underworld. The next time we meet, we’ll be enemies!”

The General of the Bloody Sea sank his face, he said with a serious tone, “Shura, you’re not turning back yet?”

“What’s there to turn back for? Look at what’s left in the Underworld? There’s nothing, it’s almost like a destroyed sect. I’m going out to form my own sect!” Shura Ghost General scoffed, he walked away, “Let’s go!”

General of the Bloody Sea clenched his fists. He forced himself to repress his urge to fight him, he stared at the Death Note that was still retrieving information and went blank.

With that, it was already the next morning.

Li Nianfan woke up in the cave. Although the environment of this campsite was not too well, he did not have a high expectation either. Furthermore, he had a few glasses of wine before sleep, which should have helped in his sleep, and thus he had a good sleep.

He woke up and walked out from the cave.

He looked in the direction of the Death Note right away.

There was no change. Just like a game, it had been loading throughout the night and still loading.

Li Nianfan walked to the side of the cave, he looked down the cliff and smiled slightly. Some clouds flew toward him and gathered below his feet gradually.

Having a cloud was so cool!

Gradually, he landed by the side of the pond. He raised an eyebrow and realized half the amount of people had gone missing.

He asked suspiciously, “The enemy left?”

White Impermanence said, “Something happened last night, they must have thought it through.”

Li Nianfan nodded, “Sigh, that’s good. That saves us some troubles.”

He received the wine gourd from Nanan, he smiled, “Nanan, Dragin, I hope you both did not drink from here secretly?”

Nanan shook her head feeling rather scared, “No...Nope.”

“Ha-ha-ha!” Li Nianfan smiled and shook his head. Instantly, he frowned and asked suspiciously, “Why is the wine so much stronger? Did you all add things into it?”

Dragin’s eyes were rather sad, “Is it? No way.”

Li Nianfan listed the wine gourd and looked into it. He smacked the wine gourd, “Whatever, it’s much stronger, can’t drink it in the morning, I’ll have breakfast first.”

Meanwhile, a faint hint of black Qi flew out from the wine gourd. It then flew outward rapidly.

Black and White Impermanence’s faces jolted. They were about to take action, but the General of the Bloody Sea pulled them back, he shook his head.

He covered the wine gourd. There was nothing to eat here, he could only have some fruits as breakfast.

Li Nianfan picked up an apple, he looked at them. He hesitated for a while and then said, “Brothers, want to have breakfast?”

Black and White Impermanence rejected painfully, “Mr. Li, as the Onis, we haven’t had breakfast for long.”

Of course Li Nianfan would not believe them. They were being humble, he smiled and continued, “Sigh, it’s just a breakfast, let’s have it together. My fruits taste okay, have a bite if you don’t mind.”

“This...” Black and White Impermanence gulped.

Of course they did not mind. It was just that they felt that they were not good enough to have those.

“Alright, stop being so polite. I didn’t bring much this time round, but I brought a lot of food.” As he smiled, Li Nianfan took out a bag, there were so many fruits inside. He handed the bag to them both, “Hand out the fruits in here to the fellow Onis. Try out my home-grown fruits.”

“Oh, thank you so much, Mr. Li.” White Impermanence accepted them shamelessly.

He carefully held on to the bag and started giving them out to the Onis.

The Onis involuntarily surrounded them both, they all stared at the bag of fruits and cautiously received them from Black Impermanence.

The fruits were different. Some had oranges and some had apples, but every one had one.

Li Nianfan saw it all and could not help smiling.

As these little ghosts were the ones that might end up helping him, as long as he bribed them today, they might be able to return him favors in the future. In fact, they might even become colleagues in the future, there was no harm in becoming friends with them.

However, the Onis did not think in this way at all!

They held on the fruits. Not only their hands, their entire bodies were shaking.

Spiritual Root Immortal Fruits! These were the Spiritual Root Immortal Fruits!

Let alone now, let alone eating, even in the past, people of their ranking were unable to even touch on these fruits! And yet, the expert was giving these out to them without asking for anything in return?

What state of mind was that? How generous!

What were we in front of the expert? We were not even like ants! Probably like the air!

And yet he was willing to give us the Spiritual Root Immortal Fruits? How did we deserve that? We dared not to take them!

So touched! Wa...so touching!

Some emotional Onis had already started to secretly wipe off their tears.

On the other side.

Amon and Backo turned back to have a look, feeling terrified. They let out a long relief and wiped off their cold sweat as they continued to escape in clouds.

Backo said suddenly, “Amon, I want to quit. I’m quite scared.”

Amon did not speak. After staying quiet for a while, he said bitterly, “I didn’t expect that after all these years, the ordinary realm now has become so scary!”

Thinking back, since their arrival, they had been through too many unbelievable things. First the appearance of a Human Sovereign, it was as if a miracle, they somehow won a victory in the battlefield. With difficulty, they finally saved Yuecha, and yet little did they expect her to have become a spy. She even established Buddhism which worked against the Underworld. Swiftly later, they pulled out the Lord Demon, just as they were about to win, they still failed!

No that the Lord Demon was out, just as he was about to act cool, he responded to the little girl and was then sucked into a gourd.

So strange, so illogical!

Unknowingly, they had become the witness of the fall of the Demons. How sad! It was just like a dream!

Thinking deeper, this was such a dangerous world, hiding away would be the safest bet.

Finally, Amon suggested, “Why don’t we...go home for now?”

Backo corrected him, “Do you have any misunderstanding? This is called...go home for good!”

Meanwhile, there was a black figure chasing after them rapidly from the back. It had turned into a black shadow without turning back. It was escaping from something, as if the back of its buttock was giving off smoke!

When this figure saw Backo and Amon, it braked abruptly. It quickly recomposed itself and gently coughed. It then said calmly, “Amon and Backo, stay there!”

Amon and Backo jolted, they looked back and called out strangely, “Lord...Lord Demon?”

Amon almost could not believe his own eyes, “Lord Demon, why do you look like this?”

The Lord Demon was so strong in the past, just like a bull. Yet, now he was skinny like the skeleton, his body way smaller. If it was not for the horns on his head, they would not have recognized him.

“Ha-ha, although the gourd is an Ultimate Heavenly Spiritual Treasure, so scary that it would suck in the world, it’s still not powerful enough to tie me down.” The Lord Demon laughed wildly. He then sighed, “Since it’s powerful, in order to escape, I paid a price. It took away all of my essence, I lost a lot.”

Backo and Amon were shocked. They said, sounding impressed, “Lord Demon is indeed powerful, you even managed to escape from there!”

“Ha-ha, it’s nothing. However, since we failed, we need to go back and re-discuss with my Lord.” The Lord Demon smiled coldly, “Let’s go.”

Cool Breeze Gorge.

“Munch! Munch!”

Along with some loud munching, the fruit feast went to an end.

Around the same time, the strange sight of the Death Note gradually stopped. When the last strand went into the Death note, the entire space seemed to have halted, while a strange Qi was gradually spreading out.

One could see that in the surroundings of the Death Note, there was a Black and White Qi rising. They were entangled in one another, growing longer as if they were alive, forming the majestic sight of Yin and Yang entangled.

When the Yin and Yang Qi gradually sank into the Death Note, this strange sight vanished. From the outside, this note looked like an extremely ordinary and simple note.

General of the Bloody Sea marched forward to the middle of the pond. He reached out and carefully held on the Death Note. He then staggered backward.

Li Nianfan quietly lifted his foot and slowly approached him. He wanted to glimpse at it, he was curious.

The content was different from what Li Nianfan expected. It was blank.

However, as General of the Bloody Sea wiped it, the originally blank Death Note started to show one name after another.

White Impermanence explained, “Mr. Li, these are the people who will die in the next hour.”

Li Nianfan nodded, only then he started to read it obviously.

As an Ultimate Treasure of the world, this Death Note controlled life and death. Naturally, this was different from the other notes, through power, one could make it show different deaths in different hours, or directly search up for a specific name.

Nanan said with anticipation, “Can you search up Zhang Yue?”

Li Nianfan halted, he just realized that the actual name of Auntie Zhang was Zhang Yue, she was the mother of Nanan.

“No problem!”

White Impermanence agreed quickly. With a point of finger on the note, words on it reappeared.

[Zhang Yue. F. Thirty-Two Years. Seventy-Two Years of Life. Death: Sleep.]

Nanan’s face changed, she could not help asking, “Only seventy two years? I gave my mother an elixir!”

White Impermanence smiled bitterly, “Just because she had an elixir so she will die from sleep. If not, she will die from illness. In some ways, you have already helped your mother to change her fate once. This illness is gone but you can’t extend her lifespan.”

Nanan frowned.

Li Nianfan asked strangely, “The content on the Death Note will change?”

“The Death Note is just a brief direction, it’s not definite.” White Impermanence explained, “If the ordinary man gained an opportunity to start cultivating, or ate the elixirs to extend life, this would be considered as changing fate. Furthermore, there’s the possibility of a premature death, which is caused by natural and manmade disasters. Some might commit suicide, ending their own lives. Those that don’t comply with this note will be considered as special cases, the Underworld will make special arrangements for this.Of course, these were quite rare. Most of the people would follow the direction appointed by this Death Note.”

Li Nianfan understood and nodded, the Death Note was not as powerful as he imagined it to be. However, upon another thought, this made more sense. If it could accurately determine one’s life, it would be too shocking and unrealistic.

Li Nianfan said to Nanan, “Nanan, life and death are fated, don’t get too upset.”

Nanan’s nose twitched, “This is simple, will find an elixir to extend life for my mother to ingest.”

“Ha-ha, that’s too much trouble.” Black Impermanence smiled, he lifted his finger and drew a small word by Zhang Yue’s name. “She has done many goods, she gets thirty extra years of life.”

Following that, a line of words appeared by Zhang Yue’s name: [Tu Jiu. Twenty-Three. Fifty-Six Years of Life. Death: Battle.]

Black Impermanence wrote by the side: [Killing others heartlessly. Minus thirty years of life.]

Black Impermanence smiled, “Therefore, there’s evidence and sources. One plus and one minus is not complicated. If not, it will take some effort.”

Li Nianfan stared with his eyes wide open.

He wanted to take back his thought: This Death Note...was so powerful! So powerful!

This was the benefit of knowing people from the Underworld!

Nanan said happily, “Thank you, Uncle Black.”

Black Impermanence smiled, “Ha-ha-ha, it’s a small matter. I merely made a remark just now. Once I get back, I will make changes with the judge pen and it will be done!”

LI Nianfan said, “With that, this Tu Jiu guy will only have three years left to live?”

White Impermanence said, “This man did more evil than good, he killed countless people, there’s no harm in him dying. Although the Underworld takes charge of the Death Note, we don’t joke around things, if not we will face consequences.”

“That’s well.” Li Nianfan instantly felt no pressure, he then asked out of curiosity, “Can you check me out?”

“I can try.” Black Impermanence pointed on the Death Note. It showed a blank page, nothing came out.

However, this was expected by them all. It would be strange for it to show something.

Before Li Nianfan could ask, White Impermanence explained, “Mr. Li, there are too many ordinary people in the ordinary realm, when it gets overloaded, the name will vanish from the note. This does not mean the person won’t die, it’s just that there are too many variables that the Death Note cannot predict.”

Li Nianfan thought about it. He drank the blood of the phoenix, he did so many good things. Most importantly, he transgressed here, it was not weird for the Death Note to not have his record.

General of the Bloody Sea said, “Mr. Li, now that we got our hands on the Death Note, we should get back to the Underworld. When you’re free, please come over to the Underworld for a visit, we will treat you well.”

Li Nianfan smiled, “Ha-ha-ha, sure thing. I do want to go on a trip. I’ve been out for long, I should get home, too.”

“Goodbye, Mr. Li!”

“Goodbye!”

...

Immortal Land. Ice Palace.

“Crack!”

Under the unstoppable attack of the crowd, the ice pillar finally showed a crack. Swiftly after, the crack grew bigger with a terrifying speed.

“Crack!”

Suddenly, with a loud “crack”, the ice pillar collapsed like a snow slide!

Ziye showed a look of delight. She said in awe, “Immortal Daji and Immortal Phoenix are so powerful! It actually cracked!”

Xiao Chengfeng stoke his beard, he said proudly, “Ha-ha-ha, this shell can withstand my one hundred and eight swords, it finally broke!”

However, before everyone could feel the joy, the glow sealed by the ice pillar lashed down all over, engulfing everyone. Covered in brilliance, everyone vanished on the spot!
