I'm Actually a Cultivation Bigshot

Chapter 758: Going Home

‘The expert gave her a shot? What kind of shot is this?’ Fifth Brother was taken aback, feeling that he could not keep up with the willow tree.

However, the importance of one word did not escape him. “Did you just refer to someone as the expert?” he asked in shock.

As the Battle Spirit Guardian of the seven dimensions, they were tasked to protect the peace of the seven dimensions with their unparalleled combat power. Seventh Sister was the strongest amongst them, so Fifth Brother was shocked to find there was actually someone qualified to be referred to as an expert by her.

“Yes! He’s a real expert!” The willow tree’s tone was filled with respect and awe. “I’m currently planted in the expert’s backyard to beautify the scenery there. I’m greatly indebted to him.”

Although the phantom image of the stele was faceless, it was not difficult to sense his shock. “Seventh Sister, are…are you being serious?”

He thought that she was playing with him and felt that she had become cheekier since he last saw her. How could it be possible that she was being treated as mere decoration to beautify the scenery? As the Battle Spirit Guardians, they had their dignity, so there was no way Seventh Sister would let someone treat her like this.

“Yes! The seventh dimension would’ve been shattered countless times if it weren’t for the expert! Not to mention that it would’ve fallen into the Eldritchs’ hands and Heaven’s scheming. I wouldn’t be here if all that were to happen!” said the willow tree gravely and sincerely.

“Alright, alright,” said Fifth Brother. He did not know what he was feeling right now, but he was sure happiness was one of them. “I believe you. That means I don’t have to worry about you anymore.”

Then, he sighed before continuing. “I’m sorry for not being able to completely wipe out the unknown, and for leaving you all alone all those years. I’m afraid I have to do it again. The unknown gray mist will definitely make a comeback so please, be careful no matter what.”

With a crisp shattering sound, more cracks spread from all the holes riddled on the stele while fine stone powder fell from its body at the same time. The phantom of the young man was hit hard. Unable to maintain his figure, he then dissipated into the void.

“Fifth Brother!” shouted the willow tree.

“Senior Stele!” shouted Shi Tuqin and the others.

“I should’ve died a long time ago.” There was a faint fluctuation coming from the stele. Its tone was full of sadness. “I rushed out of the second dimension in pursuit of the unknown gray mist and managed to seal it in the first dimension! Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother… Sixth brother, they all died in battle! I wanted to die with them, but I can’t!”

Nanan and the others were silent. The stele did not say much but they could imagine just how much of a catastrophe it had faced during those years. The unknown gray mist rushed out of the second dimension to create chaos in all seven dimensions. The seven dimensions would not have existed if it were not for the stele. As for the other five Battle Spirit Guardians…all died in battle!

As Battle Spirit Guardians, they would never regret using their lives to protect the seven dimensions. Just like their predecessor, even if they died, the immortal will would still exist, acting as an eternal protector of the dimensions!

As large as the seven dimensions, as small as a small world, a country, and even a family, there was always no shortage of people who would lay down their lives for the seven dimensions. Regardless of their power, their will was inherited from generation to generation, making it immortal!

However, they still did not know what happened in the second dimension. They wanted to ask, but seeing the state of the stele temporarily suppressed the question in their hearts.

Dragin’s tears came running down like a waterfall. She bit her lip and said, “Sister Willow, Senior Stele will definitely be fine. I’m sure Brother Li will come up with something!”

The willow branches swayed as if waking up from a dream and excitedly said, “Yes, we can bring him to the expert!”

“Let’s go back now!” said Shi Tuqin.

Immediately, the Elite King stepped into the portal with the stele on his shoulder.

‘Bring me to the expert?’ The stele forced itself to stay conscious. It did not care whether it lived or died, but it wanted to see the expert that its sister had mentioned. It could die in peace if the expert was just as powerful as she said.

At this time, the number of people at the portal in the fourth dimension had not decreased but increased. Various monks had gathered and were looking anxiously at the portal, fearing that the Eldritchs would attack again. They did not have high hopes of the seventh dimension winning. To them, going to the first dimension was as good as a definite death.

“Those people are so cocky! Who in the world would take the initiative to go to the first dimension?”

“They planned to solve the problem at its source. This is something that we ordinary people cannot even comprehend.”

“But the million-dollar question is, can they do it? Who here can fight against the Eldritchs should they fail? Don’t you think they were acting a little too rashly?”

“Well, we’ll find out soon enough.”

“Win or lose, they’ll forever be heroes!”

Some of them were venting out their worries, while others were praising the bunch from the seventh dimension. The people from the Heavenly Palace were still there, guarding the portal, waiting for Blackie and the others to come back.

Apart from that, Yang Jing and Juling Shen were leading a group of Heavenly Soldiers to clean up the battlefield.

Juling Shen came over carrying the corpse of a giant white wolf and said, “It’s very rare to find a complete corpse like this and it also has the cultivation base of the Wisdom Elite. We should offer it to the expert.”

During the battle, it was more likely for beings to be turned into ashes and smoke on account of the ultimate spells flying everywhere, making it hard to find an intact corpse. Hence, it was to their delight that they could find an intact corpse to give as a tribute to the expert who only deserved the best of the best.

Yang Jing nodded and said, “Not bad. Remind everyone to discard the ones contaminated with the unknown gray mist. The expert doesn’t like the texture of those who have been polluted.”

Juling Shen nodded vigorously and said, “Don’t worry. Leave it to me.”

They were gathering up the game meat in preparation for Nanan and the others to come back so that they could bring it back to the expert. From beginning to end, not one of them questioned whether they would come back because the faith in their hearts was unshakeable.

The other monks did not dare to burst their bubbles nor did they dare to steal the demons’ corpses. In fact, some of them even helped to clean up the battlefield.

It was at this time that a wave of spatial fluctuations suddenly came, and the expressions of some of the monks with keener senses changed as they looked at the portal.

There was a force brewing there.

“Someone’s coming out of the portal!”

“Who is it? Is it the Eldritchs, or…or the people from the seventh dimension?”

Everyone’s hearts were thumping loudly with anticipation and anxiety. Then, the portal twisted slightly and a bald dog slowly stepped out. Behind him, Nanan and the others also walked out with smiles on their faces.

“Look, it’s that dog in the leather pants, it came out alive!”

“It’s not the Eldritchs, but the people from the seventh dimension! Did…did they win?”

“Unbelievable, this group of people actually suppressed the catastrophe! Truly amazing!”

“I’m getting goosebumps just from looking at them!”

“I don’t know how they did it, but who cares! I’m good as long as they win!”

“Everyone, together now! Welcome back, heroes!”

“Welcome back, heroes!”

Cultivator Junjun laughed excitedly and said, “Hahaha, I knew they’d come back safely!”

“Of course! They’re the closest to the expert after all! There was never room for any doubt!” said Goddess Nuwa, also smiling.

“Sigh, when will I ever reach their levels? Look at them, enjoying the spotlight!” said the salty Xiao Chengfeng. He started to imagine what it would be like if it was him in the spotlight right now. Surely he would not let this opportunity slip without saying a few highfalutin lines.

Then, they all made their way over and saluted respectfully.

Yang Jing and Juling Shen brought the game meat over and said, “Lord Dog, we’ve chosen some of the finest and strongest game meat for you to bring back to the expert.”

Blackie nodded and coldly said, “Very thoughtful of you. It won’t be befitting of us to go back empty-handed.”

Then, under everyone’s awe-inspired gaze, they left to go back to Li Nianfan. It was not until Blackie and the others disappeared from their field of vision that everyone woke up from their dream. They cast their eyes on the portal to the first dimension. It was a long time before someone dared to enter it.

Blackie and the others were very fast. Soon, they appeared at the portal between the fourth and seventh dimension, and not long after entering it, they saw the Fallen Immortal Mountain on the horizon.

Little Fox was hopping down the mountain, heading to where the game animals were kept. With bright eyes, she started to pick the game animals as her treat for completing her work.

Seeing her there, the game animals’ hearts clenched. Some of them even started to cry. This day had finally arrived. They quickly made themselves as small as possible to lessen their presence.

In the end, Little Fox pointed at the Crow King and said with a smile. “I bet you’ll taste good in a soup! I choose you!”

Shocked, the Crow King started trembling while tears flowed from its eyes. The other game animals breathed a sigh of relief one after another; they got to live another day.

“Come with me, don’t worry, it won’t hurt too much. I assure you that you’ll be finely rewarded for being game meat. You can definitely have a good afterlife, and your achievements will not be worse than what they are now,” said Little Fox, trying to comfort the Crow King.

The Crow King stood there for a long time and finally sighed. With every step that it took, it looked back at the other game animals with longing in its eyes, knowing that this would be the last they ever saw of it. The other game animals gave it a send-off with their eyes, and some of them growled softly as if crooning a sad song.

“Looks like this is the end for me. Oh well, I have my reincarnation to look forward to,” the Crow King muttered to itself.

Suddenly, they heard the sound of footsteps coming from the foot of the mountain. Soon, Little Fox saw Nanan and the others.

“Little Fox, what are you doing here?” asked Nanan.

“Brother Li asked me to choose a game meat for tonight’s dinner. Thank god you guys finally came back! I don’t have to do all those chores anymore,” said Little Fox happily.

“We brought some game meat back. Why don’t you choose some from here?” said Qin Manyun with a smile.

The Crow King jumped. He was so overcome with hope that all his feathers stood straight up. In his eyes, Qin Manyun was like an angel sent from heaven.

“Yeah, it’s better to keep the game animals here alive for their manure,” said the Elite King. He would lose his job if there was no manure to be carried up to the mountain.

“Alright,” said Little Fox.

Relieved, the Crow King nearly broke out in a victory dance as it made its way back to the game animals. The stele on the Elite King’s shoulder noticed the game animals and was immediately shocked by their aura.

‘These game animals are all Wisdom Elites! Some of them are even in the second-step. Wait a minute… Is that the fluctuation of Origins I sense in their bodies? How is this possible? Where did they get these precious Origins from? And what did the Elite King mean by keeping them for their manure?’

The stele was full of questions, and soon, he noticed the cesspit near them. ‘That..that’s…a cesspit? Origins aura? How is this possible?’

Its brain began to buzz, and in an instant, he connected all the dots. These game animals were kept by the expert who gave them Origins so that their manure would contain Origins aura. At the same time, the Elite King was responsible for picking the manure with his two Origins Ultimate Treasures, the manure bucket and the manure fork.

This speculation brought him to an even higher level of shock. What the expert was doing had already far surpassed the limits of the seven dimensions.

“What’s that cesspit for?” it asked with its divine consciousness.

“It’s used to fertilize the plants in the backyard. That’s me and Dragin’s job,” said Nanan.

‘What? Is the expert seriously using Origins as fertilizer? How extravagant!’

Everyone continued to walk up the mountain, and soon, they arrived at the gate of the four-part architecture. The gate was ajar, which Little Fox pushed open before entering the yard.

Li Nianfan was surprised. “You’re back so soon. Have you already chosen the game meat?”

“Brother Li, Nanan and the others are back! They brought a lot of game meat back with them so I didn’t choose any from the live ones,” said Little Fox.

“They’re back?” Li Nianfan was delighted.

Qin Manyun and the others walked in together with the game meat behind them and said to Li Nianfan, “We’re home.”

Instantly, the four-part architecture became lively again.

“Hahaha, welcome home! I trust that your trip this time went smoothly?” asked Li Nianfan.

“It was alright. We solved a big problem, but there are still some loose ends to take care of,” said Nanan.

“That’s already good enough! Everything takes time. I’m just glad you all came home safely,” said Li Nianfan.

“Don’t worry, Master. We’ll work harder in the future,” said Qin Manyun determinedly.

Li Nianfan waved his hand and said, “Come, sit down. Xiao Bai, make some honey lemon tea for them!”
