I’m Actually a Cultivation Bigshot

More and more people gathered on the high tower in the afternoon.
Cultivators were flying around in the sky.

The sellers started to put away their stalls.

There was tension in the air.

The Holy Emperor and the others found Li Nianfan and said, “Mr.
Li, the Azure Demon Lockdown Grand Ceremony is happening this afternoon.”

Li Nianfan was slightly taken aback.
“Oh? So soon?”

Qin Manyun nodded.
“There’s a tower at the Immortal Guest House.
It’s the best spot to watch the ceremony from.
I’ll take you there.”

“Alright,” said Li Nianfan while smiling.

The tower was actually a huge pavilion placed at the center of the highest spot in the Immortal Guest House.
From the pavilion, one had a full view.
It was like they had the world at their feet.

Very few people were in that tower.
It was not because it was for reservations only but because it was unnecessary.

Cultivators could fly so they did not need this pavilion.
Mortals did not have the right to come up here.
Therefore, it was not crowded.
Li Nianfan felt comfortable.

Li Nianfan leaned against the barriers and stood there as he looked at the mountain that was filled with black dirt.

He was unsure of it but he felt like the black dirt got darker.
It seemed like there was a swirl of dark energy coming out of the dirt, like black smoke.
It did not fade away.
It was a creepy sight.

However, the black smoke did not overflow.
Four elders surrounded and guarded the mountain.
There was also an elder in azure-colored clothes at the center of the mountain.

The five elders were in a sitting position, levitating mid-air.
The blowing wind moved their clothes, making them look like typical martial artists.

The black smoke would swirl to their feet, only to be trapped in place by some unseen power.

Luo Shiyu stood next to Li Nianfan and told him, “Mr.
Li, check out the center area of that mountain.
Don’t you think it’s like a jet-black eye? That’s the opening to the Demon Realm.”

Li Nianfan nodded and said, “The black smoke is disturbing.”

It was creepy.
Li Nianfan felt chills just from looking at it.
He felt like a little girl looking at a python.

Boom!

Suddenly, there was a booming sound coming from the mountain.
It made people jump like hearing the sudden beat of a drum in the middle of the night.

The Holy Emperor became serious and said nervously, “Here it comes!”

As soon as the Holy Emperor said that, the eye-like opening erupted and endless black smoke started flowing out like a volcano.

The smoke was jet-black, darker than the night and black ink.
It even created an illusion that it might paint the world black.

The black smoke spread from the opening, covering every direction.

It would probably spread out for miles if it was not for the five elders holding it down.

The five elders trapped the black smoke, preventing it from leaking out.

Li Nianfan nodded understandingly.
“No wonder only that mountain has black dirt with no grass on it.
It’s because of the dark energy.”

Crack.

The black smoke rumbled like it was pissed off.
Weird cracking noises were heard coming from within it.

The elder at the center suddenly opened his eyes.
They glinted.
He stood up, levitating as his hair flew in the wind.
He had a powerful aura.

Then, the four other elders followed.
They stared seriously at the mountain, their eyes as dark as the night sky.

The five elders cast spells at the same time.
Flames rose out of nowhere, surrounding and swirling around them like fire dragons.

The flames got bigger and heavier.
Finally, they became fire-beam pillars, rising into the sky!

Flames swirled around the five huge fire pillars like a tornado.
The sight was majestic.
Even the sky was painted red.

The wild wind blew!

Li Nianfan stared at the five majestic fire pillars, astounded.

“Awesome! Is this the power of a cultivator? Holy cow!”

He knew cultivators could probably move mountains and oceans, but he never witnessed it with his own eyes.
It was astounding.

The hot breeze blew on his face.
He felt the heat.

He could not help feeling a little jealous.

“Why do cultivators have such powerful abilities? I came from another realm.
Why can’t I be a cultivator? What a scam.
I’m not asking to be the best, I only want half of their powers!”

Fume!

The fire pillars slithered, blending into the black smoke like hysterical snakes.
It rattled loudly.

Roar!

A demonic roar came from within the mountain.
The black smoke condensed into a black beast-like figure, tumbling around, trying to escape the barrier.

Plop!

Li Nianfan saw the black mountain explode like a bubble.

It expanded like something was trying to come out from the ground.

The elder at the center looked serious.
He yelled in a hoarse voice, “Follow the fire target! Demon Lockdown Spell, activate!”

He had a small bright red flag in his hand.
He tossed it in the air.

Suddenly, the five fire pillars shot toward the flag like it was a central target.
It formed a fire dome mid-air that was the size of the mountain.
Then, it slowly descended like a pot being covered with a lid.

The rocks beneath it were shining brightly.
It burned the ground and formed a unique pattern!

Li Nianfan noticed that it was a spell.

The fire lid in the sky connected with the spell pattern on the ground.
The black smoke was like endless hands trying to push the lid away.

The two sides were in a stand-off, frozen in place.

Time passed and it was getting dark.
The five elders were flushed and sweating bullets.

Li Nianfan yawned and started to lose focus.

The flames were huge, and the black smoke was creepy.
It was a majestic stand-off but it was getting boring.
Li Nianfan had been watching for an entire afternoon.

The fire lid was down a few inches.

He guessed that as soon as the fire lid successfully descended, it would be over.
There probably would not be any new tricks.

For a cultivator, it was normal to fend off for three days.
Therefore, they were having a blast watching the fight.
They even analyzed who was stronger and who was weaker.

However, Li Nianfan had lost interest.
It was time to sleep.

He yawned again.
“Daji, it’s getting late.
Let’s go back and sleep, okay?”

Daji nodded.
“Okay, I’ll follow you back.”

The Holy Emperor and the others looked at each other.

The expert was truly an expert.
Was he not interested in this?

He probably saw it as children fighting.
Look at him, he was nodding off.
