I'm Actually a Cultivation Bigshot

Chapter 700: The Heaven Mystery Pavilion is Scheming Again, A Crisis in the Backyard

“Who’s there?” Yun Qingshan and the others were startled by the arrival of the heart-devouring bug. They were shocked to know that something could approach them without their detection. After all, they were the best of the best in the entire seven dimensions.

“What kind of bug is this? It harmonized with Wisdom, making it hard for their presence to be detected,” said Zheng Shan cautiously.

“Are you the pavilion master of the Heaven Mystery Pavilion?” asked Yun Qianshan. He had invited the Heaven Mystery Pavilion, too, and they were the only presence missing from the discussion. The Heaven Mystery Pavilion had always done things out of the extraordinary so it was not surprising to discover the existence of this bug.

“Yes, it’s me, and I’ve brought you some news about the seventh dimension,” said a profound voice coming from the bug.

Lord Angel knitted his brow together. “I know the Heaven Mystery Pavilion possesses knowledge unknowable by ordinary people, but forgive me for asking… Where is Shen Suanzi and who are you?”

“Shen Suanzi perished like the Ye Ancestor and the sect master of the Lightning sect. As for me, I’m Shen Suanzi’s master,” said the old pavilion master. This news shocked the other three.

They were not surprised to find out he was Shen Suanzi’s master. After all, the Heaven Mystery Sect had always been a little unpredictable. While it was true that Shen Suanzi had always carried the title of the pavilion master, they had somewhat guessed there was an even more powerful existence behind him.

Yun Qianshan’s eyes sank. “The Ye Ancestor’s dead? So that’s why he didn’t come out of his room when something this big happened. That must mean that Ye Qingshan and Lei Teng were keeping some shocking information from us!”

Zheng Shan’s eyes were flashing brightly. “And now the two of them are dead as well. I’m curious though, what could possibly tempt them to do something like this?”

Lord Angel kept his gaze fixed squarely on the heart-devouring bug. “Brother, as Shen Suanzi’s master, you must know the reason for his death and what it is exactly that the seventh dimension is hiding from us.”

“The seventh dimension isn’t as simple as you think. Death is guaranteed if you don’t tread carefully,” said the old pavilion master, not answering the question first. “Because the seventh dimension’s Wisdom has already manifested the ultimate existence in all of the seven dimensions.”

The three of them were shocked but that emotion was quickly replaced by greed as their eyes shone lustily.

“It’s no wonder it’s so hard to get to the bottom of the seventh dimension. Its Wisdom has shown its hand! This must be the first case where someone has entered the state of the ultimate existence.”

“We’ll surely be at a disadvantage if we didn’t know that but since we know that now, we can fully prepare ourselves!”

“The first dimension has been dominated by the Eldritchs. The situation remains unknown for the second dimension, and the Wisdom of the third dimension has been completely shattered. Both the fifth and sixth dimensions are hanging by a thread. The seventh dimension’s by far the most complete but it’s also the weakest and Wisdom was forced to manifest itself.”

“Once in the state of the ultimate existence, Wisdom that’s usually difficult to find will be exposed. There’s no stopping anyone from devouring the dimension’s Wisdom then.”

“This is a great opportunity and a great fortune! We’re truly blessed!”

They became very excited at discovering the seventh dimension’s secret. Initially, they thought that it would be very difficult to find the source of Wisdom. Much like the Eldritchs for example, they had been plundering all seven dimensions for countless years and only came away with paltry Wisdom.

The situation in the seventh dimension was different. The state of the ultimate existence was irreversible and it was a risky gamble. Anyone who suppressed the state of the ultimate existence would be able to get their hands on the Origins of the seventh dimension. The most important thing was the fact that entering the state of the ultimate existence did not make one invincible for it came with it a huge flaw. It was like leading a lamb to the slaughter.

Yun Qianshan’s eyes were flashing brilliantly. “This is a complete dimension’s Origins we’re talking about. With it, we can aspire to be the most powerful existence in the whole of the seven dimensions!”

Zheng Shan looked at the heart-devouring bug and there was caution in his voice. “It’s amazing how you know all this but… Why would you share this information with us?”

Yun Qianshan and Lord Angel were waiting for the old pavilion’s master answer, too. They did not want to be anyone’s pawn.

“At first, I didn’t know much about the seventh dimension either. I only managed to get this information by paying with Shen Suanzi, Ye Qingshan, and Lei Teng’s lives. Thus, I learned my lesson and swore to myself that I’d proceed with caution from now on. Need I tell you how powerful a person is once he has entered the state of the ultimate existence? Do you think I can handle him alone? The best strategy I can come up with is to use my Origins Devouring Bugs to steal the Origins of Wisdom. I wouldn’t have come to you if I could do this alone!” explained the old pavilion master calmly. Then, he waited quietly for them to say something.

“What do you need us to do?” asked Zheng Shan.

The old pavilion master smiled and said, “I’ll tell you once the three of you agree to work together with me. Don’t worry, the Origins Devouring Bugs will handle the bulk of the work. I can guarantee the three of you that I won’t be putting your lives in danger.”

Yun Qingshan and the others furrowed their brows in silent contemplation. In the end, they told him they would give him their answers after thinking it over.

“Apart from the three of you, there will be others. Come to the Heaven Mystery Pavilion in three days. Don’t blame me for not bringing you along if you don’t come,” said the old pavilion master with a smile.

On his way back to his palace, Lord Angel never once stopped thinking about the discussion. There was a lot of information to process. The seventh dimension received a 180-degree transformation when the expert appeared. This also created an opportunity for them to get their hands on the Origins of the dimension.

However, who exactly was this mysterious old master of the Heaven Mystery Pavilion? No way would he be kind enough to share this information without expecting something in return. He must be plotting something!

The whole situation had become more complicated than he would have liked. He simply could not make heads or tails out of it. Then, there was the important matter of his daughter’s whereabouts. The seventh dimension now was not the seventh dimension of before. It had definitely become a much more dangerous place and this filled him with anxiety.

Suddenly, something caught his eye and he fixed his gaze in that particular direction. Instantly, happiness broke out all over his face for he could sense a familiar aura cutting across the sky and shooting into the palace.

“It must be my daughter! She’s come back!” He was filled with joy as he quickly shot back to the palace, too. However, he was a little puzzled as to why his daughter had returned by way of light instead of using her wings. She possessed the most beautiful face and wings amongst all the angels and he knew that she would always proudly show off her wings at every chance she had.

He made his way towards War Angel as soon as he stepped foot inside his palace. The other angels around him quickly bowed their heads. “Greetings, Lord Angel.”

“War Angel has come back, hasn’t she? How is she?” asked Lord Angel.

“War Angel has indeed come back but she concealed herself with her holy light so I didn’t get a good look at her,” said one of the angels.

Lord Angel nodded and continued on his way.

Suddenly, he heard her voice. “Father, I’d like some time for myself.”

Lord Angel frowned. He could tell she had been crying. Knowing his daughter, she must have been greatly traumatized to cry like this.

“Daughter, what’s wrong? Did something happen to you in the seventh dimension?” asked Lord Angel anxiously.

He must get to the bottom of this for both his daughter’s and the entire fourth dimension’s sake. She was the only one who came back alive. Realizing he would not get any response from her, he barged into her room.

“Daughter, you…” He was shocked by what he saw and his eyes instantly became red when he saw her wings.

“Who? Who did this to you!?” A boundless fury surged up from his body, accompanied by a powerful murderous intent that made the countless laws of the universe tremble. It was as if the whole sky was about to collapse on the Western Region. Even Wisdom was frozen. This was more terrifying than the wrath of the heavens.

His daughter, the pride and joy of his life, stripped of her feathers! Who dared provoke him so! This was the worst humiliation he had ever suffered. As a War Angel, his daughter’s talents put her at the pinnacle of many fighters and she had carved out a name for herself ever since she was young.

Her existence was the aspirations of countless beings in the fourth dimension. How could a holy and pure Goddess, a symbol of glory and victory in every battle, be rendered to such a pitiful state? His heart twisted with pain when he saw her curled up in the corner, trembling.

“Our wings are the pride of our clan. We must rain down revenge on whoever did this to you! Daughter, tell me what happened! I’ll avenge you!” said Lord Angel hoarsely. He was trembling all over.

After a while, she finally told him what happened. “Father, the seventh dimension’s truly strange…”

Lord Angel listened attentively with a serious expression on his face. “So, they all treated that ordinary guy with deep respect?”

War Angel simply nodded.

“Then there’s no doubt about it. He’s the one who entered the state of the ultimate existence.” The eyes of Lord Angel flashed brilliantly. “Don’t worry, daughter. I’ve already entered into a discussion with the others on how best to deal with the seventh dimension. It won’t be long till we make them pay with their lives for what they did to you!”

He had made up his mind to join forces with the Heaven Mystery Pavilion!

Suddenly, a terrifying crashing sound came from outside the palace and a thick black gas shot up to the sky. Blood-curdling screams could be heard all around them.

“Those demons really don’t know when to give up, do they? This is pissing me off!” said Lord Angel angrily. “Daughter, stay here and recuperate. Don’t think too much. I’ll come back as soon as I’ve suppressed those idiots.” He then unfolded his wings and disappeared from where he was standing.

Today, in the four-part architecture, Li Nianfan finally completed the cushion he was making. The entire cushion was made up of white, flawless angel feathers. It was warm and smooth at the same time. It was truly a material that had no peers.

Li Nianfan kept stroking it and this made him smile with satisfaction. “This is so nice.” He then put the cushion on a chair and immediately sat on it. He was suddenly wrapped in a soft feeling, and the most important thing was that it had some bounce to it. It was a truly enjoyable experience.

“This material’s truly the best. Nothing comes close to it!” said Li Nianfan admiringly. It was a shame he had so little of it. After all, it was not every day he would come across an angel.

Suddenly, Nanan and Dragin rushed over from the backyard. “Brother Li, there’s something wrong with all the plants in the backyard. They look so sad and withered!”

Li Nianfan raised an eyebrow. “Let’s go and check it out!”

Very quickly, Dragin and Nanan led him to the vegetable patch.

“Brother Li, look at the leaves! It turned yellow.”

“Brother Li, look at the fruit trees over there. They look so sad and they don’t seem to bear much fruit anymore.”

Their eyes were filled with worry and they did not know what to do. What could possibly be the matter with these Spiritual Roots?

Li Nianfan inspected the plants and the lines on his forehead began to loosen. “Don’t worry. They’re just a little malnourished.”

“Malnourished? How come?” asked Nanan and Dragin in dazed and confused tones.

“Maybe they’re trying to grow a body. Anyways, the nutrients in the soil are definitely not enough,” said Li Nianfan. He had pulled the answer out randomly. He thought about what to do and the best solution he came up with was to give them some fertilizer.

The basics of farming required fertilizing the field with manure, and yet Li Nianfan had managed to overlook this simple step though he knew that manure was the best choice when it came to fertilizer.

‘Growing a body?’ Nanan and Dragin were surprised by Li Nianfan’s answer. ‘Are the plants going to evolve? They’re withering because they’re not getting enough nutrients? They’re already Spiritual Roots, it’s the end of the evolution line! What else could they evolve into? And Brother Li said this is nothing to worry about? This is already the fifth time the backyard has evolved.’

Suddenly, a lightbulb turned on in Li Nianfan’s brain and his eyes shone brightly. “How could I forget about the zoo? There are so many animals there that I’m sure their manure will be enough to fertilize the whole backyard! There, I’ve solved the problem of manure supply.”

Who could have thought of the countless benefits the zoo would bring him? There was the value of observing them in their natural habitat, the value of their meat, and now the value of their manure!

“Nanan, do you think the animals in the zoo go to poo?” asked Li Nianfan.

“Of course! As long as you want it, they’ll have no choice but to do it!” said Nanan without hesitation.

“That’s great! I’m going to make a special feed for them so that their poo will be full of nutrients, too!”
