I’m Actually a Cultivation Bigshot

“Solve our problems?!”

The Holy Emperor and Luo Shiyu both stared at the Chess Fanatic with wide eyes.

The Holy Emperor said, “Please, tell us how so, pal!”

The Chess Fanatic looked at Luo Shiyu and asked, “In Gomoku, your goal is to connect five chess pieces. Between the first piece and the fifth piece, which do you think is more important?”

Luo Shiyu answered without thinking, “The fifth piece is more important. It’s the piece that decides the game.”

“Not exactly.” The Chess Fanatic shook his head and said, “They’re all equally important! If there’s no first piece, the fifth piece won’t be of any use!”

The Holy Emperor understood. He said excitedly, “So, to the expert…we’re like the first piece. Simple but significant!”

The Chess Fanatic nodded and said, “Yes. Think about it. Doesn’t the expert make his first moves through all of you?”

“Yes, you’re right!” The Holy Emperor teared up and cried. “So, the expert remembers us after all this time. He approves of our value after all! Boohoo—”

Luo Shiyu was extremely touched, too. She bit her lip and said, “The expert has helped us so much. It’s too bad we’re incompetent. We might be useless to the expert from now on.”

“You’re wrong!”

The Chess Fanatic looked away and said, “Gomoku’s a game where you can’t predict which chess piece is the losing piece. No chess piece is extra or insignificant. That was the expert’s hint. Stop deprecating yourselves and do your best.”

The Holy Emperor and Luo Shiyu were motivated. “Thanks for pointing it out, pal.”

The Chess Fanatic saluted. “I learned a lot from the expert today. I have to go back and study it. Goodbye.”

“Goodbye!”

The Holy Emperor and Luo Shiyu watched the Chess Fanatic leave. They looked determined. “Let’s go, the Ganlong Immortal Dynasty’s lucky to be blessed by the expert. We have to work hard and please him!”

At the Xia Kingdom.

In comparison to before, the Xia Kingdom was on a whole new level. For example, their cities had expanded twice in size. The surrounding banditries had also been completely dealt with.

Apart from appearances, their patriotism was more prominent.

Recently, a lot of cultivators had been coming to visit. Most were from small sects and a few came from bigger sects. They were all here to collaborate and unite.

Additionally, when the bridge to immortality was reconnected, a lot of hidden bigshots showed up and visited the Xia Kingdom, too!

Gu Changqing was with the Gu Siblings.

Gu Ziyu asked, “Dad, is the Human Sovereign fancy? Is he even human?”

Gu Changqing said, “He’s human, but he’s the chosen one with Luck. He carries the fate of the realm!”

Gu Ziyu frowned and said, “Luck? You mean he’s lucky?”

Gu Changqing shook his head and said, “Lucky is used to describe a person while Luck describes a nation. It’s more powerful!”

He knew the siblings were too young to understand. He continued, “Luck can guarantee you more opportunities. It can lessen your natural tribulation and make your cultivation easier!”

The Gu siblings understood. Their eyes widened in disbelief as they said, “So awesome.”

“Duh, you work for the world. Did you think the world would treat you badly?” Gu Changqing said. “Now that the Xia Kingdom has impressed the world, these sects want to share the glory so they can benefit from it. They’ll naturally come to kiss-up to the Xia Kingdom.”

Gu Ziyu said, “Then, I want to work for the world, too.”

Gu Changqing rolled his eyes. “Are you worthy?”

Then, they arrived at the Xia Kingdom.

“Alright, stop talking,” reminded Gu Changqing.

Zhou Yunwu was not in the palace. He was standing on top of a tower.

A lot of humans and cultivators were gathered here. It was a rare sight to see a huge crowd like that.

The humans came to watch, but it was different for the cultivators. They all looked shocked. Discussions could be heard.

“I can’t believe the Human Sovereign’s here. The bridge to immortality has been reconnected, too. What does this mean?”

“It signifies a new era. We don’t know if it’s good or bad, but from the looks of it, it’s quite beneficial for cultivators.”

“There are so many cultivators today. The Human Sovereign’s waiting outside, too. What’s going on?”

The cultivator did not answer. Instead, he asked, “The bridge to immortality has been reconnected. Have you heard of anyone stepping into the Heavenly Gates?”

“Not yet, but not for long. A lot of bigshots showed up, right?”

“According to reliable sources, they plan to meet tonight and step into the Heavenly Gates together!

“Yikes. But why choose here?”

“There would be dimensional tribulations if they step into the Above Immortal Realm through the Heavenly Gates. It’s also dangerous. Everyone here’s trying to gain some of the Human Sovereign’s Luck. I think it’ll be easier to immortalize with his blessings.”

“Why tonight?”

“Why so many whys? How would I know?”

Time slipped by. It was getting dark.

Everyone was excited. Conversations were getting quieter.

Immortalization. It had not occurred in over thousands of years. Now, they were going to immortalize as a group. It would be a majestic sight to behold.

Suddenly, an elder in yellow robes appeared out of nowhere. He was walking on air.

Very few people recognized him, but he was wearing a robe with a dragon on it so he was clearly an old Emperor. He emitted a powerful aura. It was very impressive.

However, he was as skinny as a bag of bones. He was pale, reeked of death, and was apparently at the end of his life.

He appeared on top of the tower in the blink of an eye. He said in a hoarse voice, “I’m the Sect Master of the Dayun Immortal Dynasty. Greetings to the Human Sovereign. We want to immortalize on this land.”

Zhou Yunwu quickly saluted, too.

Then, a shockingly powerful aura appeared from afar. It was an old lady with a crutch. She appeared in a flash.

She was a cultivator from the Mahayala realm. However, she could not maintain her appearance. She, too, was old and did not have many days left.

Suddenly, three more elders appeared in the sky. They were also lifeless and old.

They all greeted Zhou Yunwu.

Zhou Yunwu was the reason why the bridge to immortality reconnected. He gave them the chance to immortalize, so they had to be polite.

Time slipped by and it was nighttime. About thirteen cultivators were ready to immortalize together!

Among these thirteen cultivators, there were three elders who were rumored dead!

And…it was not over yet!

Rare cultivators from the Mahayala realm started showing up one after another!

The aura at the field was utterly intense!
