I’m Actually a Cultivation Bigshot

Chapter 248: I’m A Chess Piece of the Expert!

The Fire Phoenix and Daji’s faces darkened. They asked without hesitation, “What cow?”

“Back in ancient times, there were many kinds of ancient cows. Although they were far from Dragons, they were considered top Immortal Beasts. Many bigshots couldn’t get their hands on the arrogant dragons. Thus, they focused on the Sacred Cows.”

Of course, the Golden Dragon did not forget to boast about the Dragons before explaining. “If the expert mentioned it, the cow cannot be any ordinary cow. If it’s black and white, it represents Yin and Yang. I know a kind of cow that contains Yin and Yang. It’s the Five-Color Sacred Cow!”

The Fire Phoenix froze. “Five-Color Sacred Cow? Five colors?”

“Exactly!” the Golden Dragon nodded. “It’s black, white, red, green, and blue! Black and white represent Yin and Yang. Red, green, and blue represent the raw colors of the world. This species of the cow was born for the world. They can walk on the clouds, have immense strength, and can move mountains and oceans!

“The expert doesn’t like to say things too clearly, so the black and white could be a hint. Five-Color Sacred Cow has three more colors. It’s a more reasonable target.” Daji analyzed for a while. She then asked the key question, “Does the cow have milk?”

“Yes!” the Golden Dragon answered instantly. “My Dragon books recorded that this cow was born for the world. Its milk can strengthen the body, increasing one’s strength and making one immune to dangers. Back then, I came across this cow and saw it producing a lot of milk. I wanted to ask for some, but the cow was unwilling. I don’t force people to do things they’re unwilling to, so I didn’t insist.”

Dragin was shocked. “Even my ancestor hasn’t tasted it?”

“You have to focus on the main point!” the Golden Dragon could not help emphasizing. “It was me who was unwilling to insist! It was just one sip of milk. Why would I care?”

The Fire Phoenix asked, “Where’s the Five-Color Sacred Cow?”

The Golden Dragon said, “I remember that it’s in the Kunxu Mountains.”

The Fire Phoenix thought for a moment. She said, “The Kunxu Mountains? I know, it’s at the Southside of the Immortal Land. However, the area’s massive, finding one scared cow would be like finding a needle in the ocean.”

The Golden Dragon hinted, “Places with such a cow will glow in five colors at night.”

With that, its dragon tail wiggled and it went into the deeper end of the pond.

Daji and the Fire Phoenix exchanged a look. It seemed that they had to find a chance to go over to the Kunxu Mountains.

...

The Liuyun Palace.

The white clouds were in the sky. Many Immortals were traveling by cloud.

Meanwhile, four clouds were secretly making their way to the Liuyun Palace.

They then gradually landed at the foot of the mountain. The white clouds went away, revealing Payne and the three elders of the Azure Ville in sight,

They looked serious, cautious, and uneasy.

The Big Elder said, “Sect Master Ding’s locked up in here.”

The Second Elder asked, “Sect Master, are you sure we’re to do this?”

“We know what the Lord Immortal’s goal is. He’s merely trying to know more about the expert from me. He doesn’t have a good motive,” Payne said in a low voice, his eyes sparkling. “I don’t want to expose the expert’s situation. Therefore, I shouldn’t meet the Lord Immortal. I can only save the person on my own.”

The Third Elder sighed, “He’s a Lord Immortal after all. If he finds out, we’re in danger!”

“The moment we touched the painting, we were in this already, unable to turn back!” Payne’s eyes squinted with a hint of rage. He scoffed coldly, “Since I, Payne, am in it, I’m a chess piece of the expert! The Lord Immortal’s so ignorant, he has no idea what kind of existence he’s plotting against!”

His good friend was captured out of the blue. It would be a lie if he was not pissed!

The Big Elder reminded him, “Sect Master, the Lord Immortal must have some powerful support on his back to become the Lord Immortal!”

Everyone knew clearly that the Immortal Land was full of hidden bigshots. Even though they had all gone through the Natural Tribulation, the tactics of bigshots keeping their lives were not unknown. Those who had not reappeared did not mean that they were dead.

Now that the world was changing, it was time to make the choice.

Bigshots usually fought through chess pieces. If they went over to see the Lord Immortal, they might reveal the planning of the expert. They would then no longer be the expert’s chess pieces and might end up on the opposite side.

The set up of the Lord Immortal was forcing them to make a choice, too!

“You all have no idea what I’ve been through in the ordinary realm. However...don’t worry. Believe me, the power of the expert is so strong that it’s beyond your imagination!” Payne’s eyes were filled with respect and determination. “No matter what happens, without the permission of the expert, I won’t expose anything!”

“Alright! Let’s do it! A bigshot who painted the Golden Crow? I’d pick him!” The Big Elder’s eyes sank. “There’s only one entrance at the back of the mountain and it’s guarded by four Tian Immortals. Since we can’t barge in, we have to take another route. The back of the mountain is prohibited, so if we want to enter, we need to break in.”

The Second Elder nodded and said with a serious tone, “We do have some knowledge regarding the formation. If we join forces, we might be able to break in.”

“Cut the talking, let’s start!”

Instantly, the four of them gradually raised their hands and reached out.

Vroom!

The originally empty space was filled with layers of waves. A soft, calm, glow appeared over it like a layer of membrane.

Powerful Qi emerged.

At once, their originally excited faces froze. They went silent.

However, Payne looked strange. He was quite certain as he said, “Are you sure there’s a prohibition here? Why can’t I feel anything?”

“Sect Master, are you silly? Don’t you see this big patch of membrane!?”

“Strong! So very strong! This layer of prohibition! Even the flying birds are unable to break in. Don’t be silly. We’re unlikely to be able to break in!”

“Sect Master, please, face the reality.” The Big Elder patted Payne’s shoulder. He said with sympathy, “Sect Master might not be able to take this blow that you started to make things up.”

Payne’s face was turning dark. He said again, “I’m certain! You really feel resistance from this membrane?”

“Can’t you tell? How can you be certain?”

The three Elders were in shock. They advised, “Sect Master, let it go. If we had the Burst Gun, perhaps we could break in.”

“Sect Master, I really can’t! Even if we accompany you here and drilled for five hundred years, perhaps we’ll eventually be able to rub ourselves inside.”

“Rub?! Do I need to rub?” Payne laughed. He did not seem down. Instead, he seemed excited. “It’s time to show off! Look closely, I’m going in now!”

“Calm down! Calm down!”

The three Elders panicked. Without a doubt, their Sect Master was in a blur!

They wanted to stop Payne, but he had already raised his hand and went straight through the border.

Bam!

There was no trace of resistance. It was as if it was a normal layer of water, easily penetrated.

“This, this...”

The three Elders widened their eyes. They could not believe their eyes.

“Sect Master, what have you awakened in your body? You’re able to neglect the border?”

Payne laughed a mysterious laugh. Under their stunned gaze, he walked in and then walked out arrogantly.

“Sect Master, what’s this about?”

“It’s the expert helping me.” Payne’s eyes were glowing, his face showing a hint of excitement and respect. He took out some fragments from his chest. “Look at what these are?”

The Big Elder jolted and then cried out in shock, “Spiritual Root?”

“Exactly! It’s the Spiritual Root!” Payne nodded and handed a fragment to the Big Elder. “Hold this and have a try.”

The Big Elder received the Spiritual Root and seemed rather concerned. Trembling, he reached out and walked toward the border.

The resistance from earlier did not appear. There was no hint of it.

Bam!

He went inside.

Gasp...

The three Elder gasped at the same time, they seemed as if they had seen a ghost.

Payne looked at the Power Fragment, his eyes filled with the same wonder. He took in a deep breath and said, “When I visited the expert, I saw the expert carving a Spiritual Root. These fragments were treated like trash. I bit my tongue and asked for them. Who’d have thought that these fragments can help us neglect the border!”

“Unbelievable! Unbelievable!”

The three Elders’ hearts were jumping rapidly. They could only feel their scalps itching with goosebumps all over their bodies.

This was the Spiritual Root. He was carving on it and he actually treated it like trash? Most importantly...this trash was able to effortlessly neglect the border set up by the Lord Immortal?

How powerful was that!

The Big Elder could not help being astonished. “Sect Master, I finally understand why you’re so confident about this expert. This is...too strong!”

“Waste no time, let’s go in.” Payne gave out a Power Fragment to each of them. Instantly the three Elders looked as if they were being allocated the greatest treasures. They held them tightly in their hands, feeling their values skyrocketing.

They went through the border safely. The four of them walked on cautiously. They realized that other than the initial prohibition, there was not much prohibition inside.

Although there were many traps, with the help of the Spiritual Roots, they were unstoppable. They were once again stunned by how powerful the expert was!

“This Spiritual Root is nothing ordinary! This is beyond imagination!”

However, they knew this was not the time to admire the Spiritual Roots. They had to save the hostage!

The four of them were well-cultivated so they could make themselves invisible. Soon, they sensed Ding Xiaozhu’s Qi.

Payne flew over with excitement. He cried out, “Xiaozhu!”

Ding Xiaozhu froze and then was shocked. “Why’re you here? Did you get caught, too?”

“Of course, not! I came here with my abilities! I came here to save you!” Payne smiled. “Listen to me, let me tell you the whole story...”

“Story?! Are you an idiot?” The Big Elder almost went crazy, his face flushing red. “We don’t have time! It’s too dangerous in here!”
