I’m Actually a Cultivation Bigshot

A breeze blew. Everyone felt chilly, but when they looked at the cold dead body, they instantly felt better.

That person deserved to die. He showed everyone the textbook definition of what not to do.

An elder with white hair and green robes shook his head and sneered, “If he wasn’t such an idiot, he wouldn’t have died so suddenly.”

“Everyone knows that the search for an Immortal Relic is dangerous. He was probably overjoyed and forgot about the danger.”

“It’s unbelievable that someone like that could be a cultivator.”

Everyone looked at each other and dissed the dead body without remorse.

Suddenly, the calm water surface started to boil. The weird rock emitted something strange.

Everyone felt the intense aura. The danger sent chills down their spines.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, countless light beams flashed from the hole. It was powerful and crazy. Everyone felt their hair standing.

“Everyone, watch out!”

Nobody needed his warning as every cultivator automatically cast their spells or used their defense items.

Swoosh!

The light beams touched the shields and faded into nothing.

The light beams were everywhere. Thankfully, every cultivator there were forces to be reckoned with. They were all at least from the Yuan Ying realm. They were forced to retreat, but they could handle it.

“The light beams aren’t as powerful as I thought. I have a defense item so I don’t need to worry,” chuckled an elder from the Out of Aperture realm. He looked proud and arrogant.

He waved and enhanced his defense item to the max, then he slowly approached the rock hole. He was suddenly surrounded by a halo. He looked like a cool expert.

“Everybody, this is the first test of the Immortal Relic. You have to try harder from now on. I’ll be making the first move. On to the second test! Ha…” He laughed and stepped into the hole.

However, his laughter was abruptly stopped. He was impaled to death instantly.

Everyone shook their heads at the same time. Another cultivator who tried making the first move.

The green-robed elder said, “This is an Immortal Relic. Why would anyone underestimate it? What an idiot with a deathwish.”

Suddenly, a golden figure appeared and approached the hole.

The figure did not say anything. He did not say a word that could jinx himself.

He was wrapped in a golden bell which made loud noises while he flew. The light beams all disappeared before he got near the hole.

He went into the hole. Countless swords flew out just like earlier but the swords were swatted away easily.

He was the first person who successfully went inside the hole. Everyone was ecstatic.

Someone yelled, “Everyone, come on. The swords seem to be limited. If we work together to fight against it, its defense will become weaker. We can all go in within half an hour!”

Everyone felt enthusiastic as they hyped each other up. “Let’s go, cultivators. A big opportunity awaits. Let’s go, let’s go!”

“Cultivators, teamwork makes the dream work. Success is ours to take!”

Some of the cultivators were confident in their defense skills so they approached the hole first.

Everyone used their powers and did their thing. It was a cool sight.

Meanwhile, far from the horizon, a normal raft with an awning slowly drifted toward them.

Lin Mufeng and Lin Qingyun were still in serious mode. They did not even dare to breathe loudly. Every single thing could be a threat to them. They were starting to sweat because they were too tense.

Suddenly, they noticed something at the same time—they were looking at the Immortal Relic.

“Is—is that the Immortal Relic?”

Their eyes were wide in disbelief. They could not believe what they were seeing.

They were sure that they did not move the raft. They did not even know where the Immortal Relic was. The raft drifted here on its own.

The raft found the Immortal Relic?

They flinched and felt shivers down their spine.

Scary, too scary!

They would never believe it if they did not experience it themselves. They could never picture something like this happening.

Lin Qingyun felt a creepy chill shoot straight into her soul. She almost pulled out her hair as she asked in a trembling voice, “Father, do—do you know what’s happening?”

“No… Not really.” Lin Mufeng was not in a better state than her. He was panicking, too. He cautiously looked at the awning, then immediately looked away.

“Hold on, let me—let me process it.”

He took a deep breath. He replayed his memories like it was a movie, recalling every single detail of what Li Nianfan said or did.

He was thinking hard but he could not figure it out.

Did the expert want to come here? No way, the expert would have said so. Why would he do this?

“Ha, stupid, we did this.”

Lin Mufeng and Lin Qingyun almost jumped at the sudden voice.

They looked at the awning of the raft. The lantern was swaying.

They did not notice the ordinary lantern previously. They suddenly remembered that this was a lantern of the expert. How could it be ordinary?

They terrifyingly realized that they could not figure out this lantern!

Lin Mufeng felt his heart race as he mumbled, “Ge… Ge—Genie?!”

“Wrong, we’re Firefly Demons!”

The lights in the lantern flickered. Countless flecks of light danced inside the lantern as one of the demons said, “Ha, I’m so done with your intelligence! Can’t you tell that my master wants to find the Immortal Relic?”

Lin Mufeng was humiliated and embarrassed. He said, “I can’t believe I thought the expert would say it directly. I’m so stupid! The expert gave obvious hints but I didn’t get it. It’s all my fault!”

The Firefly Demon said, “Thankfully, you have me today. I was created by my master and I never got the chance to repay him, so I’ll have to do my best right now.”

Lin Mufeng quietly asked, “How are we going to get inside the Immortal Relic?”

The Firefly Demon boastfully said, “Just stand by and watch. Don’t let the outsiders disturb the master.”

Lin Mufeng was baffled. “Stand… Stand by?”

The Firefly Demon proudly said, “Look at the word on the lantern, it’s the writings of my master. Take a close look.”

Lin Mufeng focused and saw the big ‘Fu’ word on the lantern!

It was not that big of a deal with a glance, but when he stared at it, he felt like he was being sucked in. That word gave Lin Mufeng an illusion that the world was contained in it.

This…this word…

Gasp—
