Chapter 503: How Bored Do You Have to Be to Do That
Yun Shu carefully ate the fruits. She was trying her best to look calm on the surface, but she also looked very cautious.
She sucked on the fruits with every bite. She ensured no droplets of fruit juice went to waste.
That was Chaos Spiritual Fruit, a treasure of her dreams. How could she waste any of it?
She had to glance at Li Nianfan. Li Nianfan had juice all over his mouth. She instantly twitched and felt pained.
‘That wasteful guy!
‘The rich guy doesn’t know how precious this is!’
Li Nianfan asked with curiosity, “Lady Yun Shu, you should know a lot about the Chaos. Right?”
Yun Shu hurriedly straightened up when the expert asked her a question. She nodded and replied, “I wandered in the Chaos for a while. I’m quite knowledgeable.”
Li Nianfan was immediately excited. He asked, “Can you tell me any stories about the Chaos?”
He was naturally curious. It was far more interesting than fictional stories.
“Of course.”
Yun Shu would not let go of this opportunity. She thought about how to start. Then, she told him stories of the Chaos.
Li Nianfan listened attentively, too. He thought it was incredible. He truly felt how scary the Chaos was.
There were a lot of powerful beings in the Chaos. Danger was everywhere. One could easily get lost if one were not capable. There were also spiraling black holes in the Chaos. Some spirals could even absorb Quasi-Saints and kill them.
Moreover, there were millions of worlds in the Chaos. The Chaos was like a big stage. There were geniuses everywhere and a huge variety of experts. Changes in the Chaos occurred all the time. Battles were constant for cultivation improvement. It was extremely cruel.
There were also a lot of ferocious beasts in the Chaos. Some of them were naturally born from the Chaos while others came from different worlds that traveled to the Chaos. Cultivators were considered unlucky if they ran into them.
In other words, it was highly dangerous. Cultivators faced danger at every given moment.
“So scary! So shocking!”
Li Nianfan was mesmerized by the stories. He had to exclaim, “The Chaos is vast. I truly am a small boat in the sea!”
Yun Shu pursed her lips.
‘Bigshot, please, stop exclaiming. You’re the bigshot amongst bigshots in the Chaos. A small boat in the sea is not how people would describe you, that’s for sure…’
“So, a Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal is better than a Quasi-Saint. Above the Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal’s known as a Realm Cultivator.”
Li Nianfan felt like he learned something new. He was interested in powerful cultivators. He continued to ask, “Do you have to create a world to become a Realm Cultivator?”
“Not really.”
Yun Shu shook her head. She groaned for a moment and said, “A Realm Cultivator’s super powerful. They are creators of worlds. No one knows what you’d have to do to become a Realm Cultivator. It’s the cause of why there are so many flawed worlds. It’s an act of desperation.”
Li Nianfan was surprised. “How so?”
Yun Shu replied, “There are costs for creating a world. Creating a world could easily hurt the creator. Some powerful cultivators would take the risk. They thought they could become a Realm Cultivator by doing so.”
‘Risk?’
Li Nianfan thought of Lord Pangu.
Lord Pangu was the strongest of them all. In the end, he fell from creating realms. His body was turned into a world. He sacrificed himself to create a world. Li Nianfan asked himself if he could be that noble, too.
Of course, Lord Pangu had lived for countless ages. Life and death meant nothing to him. He was willing to create a world.
However, according to Yun Shu, there was another possibility.
He wanted to achieve a higher state of cultivation.
Li Nianfan did not need to ask anything. Yun Shu continued on her own, “A lot of the worlds were born naturally by the Chaos.
“A lot of powerful cultivators struggled to improve their cultivation. Countless years ago, a powerful cultivator accidentally saw an image of the world from the Chaos. He was suddenly inspired to copy the Chaos. He had an idea of creating another world. In the end, he successfully became a Realm Cultivator.
“This is the only known way to become a Realm Cultivator! But… Nobody knows for sure because very few cultivators succeed in becoming Realm Cultivators. Most powerful cultivators died from exhaustion halfway during creating a world.”
The Eldritch World was quite lucky. Some worlds did not have Immortals at all…
Li Nianfan nodded.
In other words, creating a world was like gambling with your life. If one won, one would become a Realm Cultivator. If one loses, one would die. There was no third option. The risk of death was high.
He had to shake his head. He said with jealousy, “These guys are Immortals. They’re already powerful. Why would they gamble with their lives to achieve a higher level? It’s so unexpected.”
‘I am so envious. They are playing with their life. What were they thinking?
‘Did they live too long and got bored of living?
‘Or… Did they want to die?’
Li Nianfan could not understand them. He wanted to live as long as possible.
Suddenly, he thought of Lin Feng.
Lin Feng told him that he wanted to become a powerful cultivator. So that he could revive a longsword named Luoyun Sword. He thought of a famous quote in his past life.
‘I want to create a world with you in it.’
“He worked hard for his faith. It was understandable.”
Goddess Nuwa and the others heard Li Nianfan. They smiled bitterly in their minds.
‘You won’t have faith when you lose everything else in the world. Endless years will only be torturous!
‘You cannot improve. You lose your goals in life. Life becomes boring and meaningless. At that point… You’d rather risk your life or do something even crazier to see a brand new world.’
“The Chaos…is too scary!”
Li Nianfan shuddered. He felt cold all over. “The bigshots that lived for countless years all have weird personalities. They’re ticking time bombs. They can do anything just because they feel like it.”
‘So scary.’
Yun Shu and Goddess Nuwa sweat as they watch how horrified Li Nianfan looked.
‘Bigshot, are you talking about yourself?
‘You’re clearly powerful, but you need to act like an ordinary man. You treat powerful treasures like ordinary items. You also want others to go along with your act.
‘You…are weird!
‘How bored do you have to be to do something like that?!’
However, they knew that it was not a bad thing that they ran into someone like Li Nianfan. Compared to other powerful beings, running into Li Nianfan was a huge blessing!
They chatted for a while. Li Nianfan walked with them to the door.
Yun Shu and Goddess Nuwa walked out of the four-part architecture. They bowed at the four-part architecture with respect. Then, they left.
Yun Shu looked serious. She suddenly bowed at Goddess Nuwa. She exclaimed, “Thanks, Cultivator Nuwa. I’m deeply grateful. If you need anything in the future, I won’t say no!”
She would have never met the expert if it was not for Goddess Nuwa. Goddess Nuwa was willing to tell her about the expert. She was to be credited for the huge blessing.
“You’re welcome, Cultivator Yun Shu. You earned what you gained from the expert. It has nothing to do with me.”
Goddess Nuwa did not dare take credit. She shook her head, smiled, and asked, “So, you had a breakthrough?”
Yun Shu sighed in relief. She exclaimed, “Yeah. I only visited the expert once. I…am now a Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal!”
She breathed and had a meal. That was all it took to have a breakthrough. It was an impossible dream. Nobody would believe her.
‘Think about it. Others would fight for a tiny amount of Chaos Spiritual Qi and Chaos Spiritual Water. But I… I used Chaos Spiritual Water to wash my hands in the four-part architecture…
‘I can’t believe I lived so lavishly. They would go nuts if they knew.’
“Cultivator Nuwa, what about you?”
“I naturally had a breakthrough. I’ve been here more than once.”
Goddess Nuwa batted her eyelashes and smiled at Yun Shu. Then, she said, “The dog of the expert went to the Yunhuang World. He hasn’t returned yet. We have to go take a look.”
“Right. So true, Cultivator Nuwa!”
Yun Shu instantly realized how serious it was. She flew to the sky and exclaimed. “This can’t be delayed. We can’t allow anything to happen to the expert’s dog. Come on, let’s go!”
They were not as powerful as Blackie. However…they would do anything to help. It was for the expert.
Moreover, Lord Dog saved their lives. They had to risk everything to help Lord Dog!
Goddess Nuwa smiled and said, “Cultivator Yun Shu, I was right about you. Let’s go. To the Yunhuang World! Let’s cause some trouble!”
