I’m Actually a Cultivation Bigshot Chapter 413
Advertisement
After watching Chang'e and the other two leaving, Li Nianfan smiled and said to Xiao Bai, "Xiao Bai, prepare a fruit platter for me. Get me a glass of milk and a slice of cake. I'll stay home today."
"Yes, my lovely master." Xiao Bai instantly went away to prepare it.
Li Nianfan reclined on his chair with his hands behind his head. He squinted his eyes as he enjoyed life.
The warmth of the spring sun shone on him. A wave of warmth was spreading all over him. Li Nianfan stretched and instantly felt refreshed and slightly tired.
The spring breeze blew by, a slight humming of the wind was heard. Meanwhile, the birds chirped around the four-part architecture. The entire mountain range looked like beautiful springtime scenery.
It was as if the world was a still-painting, with Li Nianfan laying back, slightly moving back and forth.
"My home's the best. This is the right way to live!" Li Nianfan smiled as he recalled some memories. "Suddenly, I recall the feelings back then. Xiao Bai, do you remember how there were only the two of us back then? Now, those days seem so far away."
Even though Li Nianfan called out for Xiao Bai, he was actually talking to himself.
Back then, the System trained him forcefully. He did not have much time to enjoy life. Whenever he slacked off, he would be electrocuted.
Li Nianfan suddenly found it funny. "What a bad System, even though I'm no longer electrocuted, I'm now the one bossing the others around. Hmm…I also get to electrocute others with lightning
"Strangely, I went from an ordinary man to a hidden expert who helps the Human Sovereign in the ordinary realm to rule over humankind. I then somehow assisted the Emperor of the Heavenly Palace to control the order of the world. I even moved into the Heavenly Palace and became a Lord Saint. I can also chat with those Princesses! Although I can't cultivate, now that I have the charmer along with my charming skills, my status isn't too bad compared to the transgressors! Ha-ha-ha, I'm not too much of an embarrassment!"
Xiao Bai walked over and its mechanical sound woke Li Nianfan from his self-boasting.
"My master, enjoy." Xiao Bai brought over a plate and placed it beside Li Nianfan. The fruits had their skins peeled off.
"Thank you, Xiao Bai." Li Nianfan took an orange piece and put it into his mouth. He smiled and waved at Xiao Bai.
Another long while of silence returned. Li Nianfan was enjoying himself while Xiao Bai prepared the dog food. It was very peaceful.
The day passed by in peace. LI Nianfan ate ordinary meals, nothing fancy. Just some small dishes with a glass of wine. He was enjoying himself.
He was enjoying the ordinary life just like before. When he saw that Xiao Bai was still preparing the dog food, Li Nianfan re-considered bringing Xiao Bai to the Heavenly Temple. After all, making dog food in the Heavenly Temple seemed rather…inelegant.
He then went back to his Palace alone. He asked Ye Liuyun to look out for the Dog Mountain.
Ye Liuyun was excited when he received the order. Without further ado, he brought the soldiers to search for Dog Mountain all over the Immortal Realm. When the soldiers learned that this was an order given by the Lord Saint, they wasted no time. They searched thoroughly and quickly found out about Dog Mountain on the second day.
Ye Liuyun verified for the third time, "Are you sure? Was there any blockage on the way? Everything's normal at the Dog Mountain?"

"Yes…nothing…"
Ye Liuyun said, "Was there any demon on the way? Did you clear the way? We can't let anything disturb Lord Saint!"
"Don't worry, General. There were only some harmless small demons, they wouldn't cause a scene."
"Not bad." Ye Liuyun nodded and let out a long sigh. "Whatever, we can't foresee anything anyway. I'll report back to the Lord Saint."
He was expecting there to be some incidents so that he could step in and fight. This was so that he could promote himself in front of the expert. Unfortunately, it was too peaceful. He felt rather useless.
In the afternoon, Li Nianfan packed up and brought Nanan and Dragin to the Dog Mountain.
Ye Liuyun said with anticipation, "Lord Saint, are you sure you don't need me to come with you?"
"No need, General Ye Liuyun guards the Western Sky Gate, it's a serious job. Now that Juling Shen and Xiao Chengfeng aren't around, you're in charge of the main gate." Li Nianfan smiled and waved it off, "Thank you, though. Goodbye."
The group of Heavenly Soldiers greeted, "Goodbye, Lord Saint!"
"Bye!"
Li Nianfan stood on a cloud and went in the direction of Dog Mountain.
The location of Dog Mountain was not difficult to find, it was not hidden as well. In fact, it was quite easy to find. They only had to travel in the southeast direction. Although there were many mountains all over, they were not too tall. The mountain over 100 meters tall would be Dog Mountain.
On the way, Li Nianfan did not fly too fast. He recalled that he had been in the ordinary realm and the Heavenly Temple, but he had not admired the scenery in the Immortal Realm. Therefore, he used this opportunity to look around.
Meanwhile, at the Dog Mountain.
Blackie was resting on top of a gigantic stone as usual. The surroundings were strictly guarded with many dogs standing on two legs. There were dog guards around Blackie. A Mastiff was trying to please Blackie by massaging it. A snow-white wolf was feeding pieces of fruit to Blackie.
Around three meters away, a dog was snarling with its tail pointing upward. Its mouth formed an 'O' shape as it blew wind at Blackie. Blackie's fur was blown along with the air, smooth and silky.
Blackie's eyes were shut. He was enjoying himself.
Meanwhile, a cloud was coming their way from the far end of the sky. Two figures were gradually coming into sight.
One of the two figures had black wings flapping. It was like a gigantic shadow hovering above. Although it had the body of a human, its head was of an eagle with darkened eyes. Its small eyeballs were glowing in golden lights.
The other figure was a massive Porcupine Demon. Its black belly was puffy with its sharp spines pointing outward like knives. It had a mace in hand, resting it on its shoulder, exuding a fierce temperament.
The two figures seemed powerful, violent, and vulgar. It did not take long before they arrived at Dog Mountain.
However, before they could land, six Dog Demons flew up into the air and surrounded them. The dogs did not seem friendly either. "Who are you!? This is the Dog Mountain, you must behave!"
"Ha-ha, this is indeed a Dog Mountain, a mountain full of dogs!" The Goshawk Demon's eyes glared around like a python's. It then said proudly and coldly, "I don't care what you dogs are planning to do, no independent demons are allowed nowadays. Lord Kunpeng is the lord of all demons, we should all respect that. If you're smart, you better worship Lord Kunpeng. Don't say that we didn't give you a chance!"

The Goshawk Demon did not even look at the six Dog Demons. They were not worth even one glance.
The Pug guarding Blackie from not far away was suddenly wide awake. It scoffed loudly with disdain. It opened its mouth arrogantly and said, "What kind of wild chicken and pig are you two? How dare you speak to us with this tone? Cut off your own legs and leave. We'll give you a chance to live!"
"How rude of you! You're asking to be killed!" Porcupine Demon lashed, his eyes flashing red. Without speaking anymore, it swung the mace in its hand. Instantly, a powerful and thick tornado swirled around!
The tornado was like a round-shaped knife, cutting through everything. It was very destructive.
However, the six Dog Demons were not weak either. They instantly exuded powerful temperament and fought against the Porcupine Demon.
Even though it was one against six, the Porcupine Demon was brave and it had a mocking smirk on. It seemed effortless.
By then, there were countless effects and clashes in the air. The fight between demons was more exciting than Immortals. They had fewer spells and more physical combating skills were involved. Due to this, there were sounds of cracking and smashing. Meanwhile, the clashes of their physical energy gave off lights and flashes.
"What a joke! How dare you dogs be so arrogant. Whatever, your species shall be removed from the demons after today!" The Goshawk Demon who had been observing finally spoke. It went two steps forward and opened up its wings and gave a harsh flap.
Whoosh!
A gust of black wind rushed over, exuding an extremely eerie temperament filled with corrupted energy. It was very terrifying. The wind was moving toward the six Dog Demons.
The six Dog Demons looked serious. They staggered a few steps backward. Each of them upturned their paws, revealing a dog bowl in each paw.
Each of the dog bowls had a different color. Some were pink and some were green. They were made with unknown materials, and even though they looked thin, the bowls reflected light. As the energy went toward them, the dog bowls expanded and became shields. The shields were glowing and were very eye-catching.
"God Bowl Shield!"
The terrifying black wind crashed into the dog bowls. Indeed, the shield blocked out the wind and stopped it from moving forward.
Goshawk Demon and Porcupine Demon stared at them with wide eyes. Their eyes popped out. They thought they saw it wrongly.
"Ultimate Spiritual Treasures? Six Ultimate Spiritual Treasures and those are…dog bowls?"
What situation was this?
The world was so biased toward dogs these days?
They even made them some customized dog bowls?
"Ultimate Spiritual… Treasure?!"
The Dog Guard was just as stunned. His dog mouth gaped open as his jaws almost dropped.
Of course, he had seen the dog bowl, but he never looked at it carefully. How did it become the Ultimate Spiritual Treasure? If he remembered correctly, every dog who earned the right to eat would get a dog bowl…
According to Lord Dog, all Dog Demons had to put their food into the dog bowl when eating to become elegant dogs.
When the Deified Dog learned about this, he found it funny but luckily did not burst out laughing.
However, now he realized how much of a joke he was. This dog bowl was actually an Ultimate Spiritual Treasure!?
Back then, the Deified Dog was not so bad, he was a dog with pride. However, he only had an Inferior Heavenly Spiritual Treasure on him? The other Ultimate Heavenly Spiritual Treasure was still missing.
In other words, it was now the poorest dog compared to the other dogs?
It merely hoped to look for some dog food here. Now, it had a new target—the dog bowl! It was a Deified Dog, it must earn its dog bowl!
Work hard! Work harder!
"Hmph!"
Suddenly, along with a loud snarl, the Goshawk Demon flapped its wings harder as if it was an electric fan. It was flapping so forcefully while the Porcupine Demon's sharp spines became knives and shot out!
Vroom!
Along with a loud sound, the six Dog Demons were knocked over. They fell to the ground. They were shocked.
"And here I was wondering how they became so powerful. So the answer is that they found an opportunity." The Goshawk Demon looked greedy. He said impatiently, "Tell me, where did you get these dog bowls from? What other treasures do you have!?"
The Deified Dog felt that this was his chance to show off. He lifted his leg and just as he was about to enter, he was overwhelmed by a terrifying atmosphere that made him unable to move.
Blackie's low growl was heard, "Increase the wind speed, set the stage!"
The Deified Dog instantly realized. It was merely an air-blowing dog, how could it steal the spotlight away from the Lord Dog? It quickly backed off.
Meanwhile, the Pug Demon jolted all over. His eyes popped open and he shivered and screamed out loud, "Lord…Lord Dog, you woke up! Oh no, you've offended the Lord Dog! Oh no, you're all in trouble!"
His acting was very professional. He had a look of joy, excitement, and respect. His body trembled even though it did not know if he acted this way instinctively or if it was due to Blackie sending him messages through voice transmission.
Around Blackie, many Dog Demons trembled and knelt on their knees. They called out in unison, "We're useless to have disturbed you from your rest. Please, don't be mad at us."
The sight of countless Dog Demons on their knees was indeed a majestic sight.
"Lord Dog's power is borderless and unlimited. Lord Dog is the most powerful demon in the entire world! Who dares to disobey the Lord Dog? Who wants to become an enemy of Lord Dog? Lord Dog's the most powerful demon!" The Pug Demon bootlicked Blackie as it glared at Goshawk and Porcupine Demon. It spoke very highly of Blackie, exuding a very majestic temperament and creating a tense atmosphere. It scoffed, "How dare you, you wild chicken and pig! How dare you disturb our Lord from resting! Why aren't you on your knees to seek forgiveness yet?"
With this, Blackie finally opened his eyes. He then moved slightly, majestic and elegant. He gradually stood up and remained unperturbed.
Meanwhile, the Deified Dog was blowing at the highest power like a fan. Blackie's fur was dancing wildly in the air. It was a pity that there was no background music, if not, Blackie would have had an even more perfect entrance effect!
It was not the most perfect entrance but…it was barely good enough for Blackie's status and importance!
Blackie strode forward like a cat as its dog head gradually lifted up. It had an undefeatable look in its eyes as it looked at Goshawk Demon and Porcupine Demon, "Why don't you surrender? Or are you waiting for me to make you surrender?"

Paths of the Chosen (Rewritten, Revised, and Reinvigorated)
Daniel Stewart was chosen to alpha test a brand new Immersive VR game, "The Realms". What he doesn't know is that he has also been Chosen by one of the Powers of a far-off world, and is now a pawn in a game much bigger than any he thought he would ever participate in. Will he survive and thrive in this strange new world, or will he stumble and fall, shattered by the ambitions of another? Does he have what it takes to walk the Paths of the Chosen?---Inspired by the Chaos Seeds novels, TheDespaxas's The Gamer, and a wide variety of games and books, although the world, characters, and systems are my own. Expect high fantasy, magic, combat and intrigue, love and loss, grief and passion. This story is intended for adult audiences and contains explicit sexual content, profanity, and violence (including sexual violence, although not by the protagonist and not as a focus of the story). Chapters with such content will be clearly marked, and all explicit sexual content will be behind spoiler tags. I prefer my stories to have happy endings, and especially in these uncertain times, I feel that it is important to maintain hope. While this tale will reach some dark places, I promise to you that, when all is said and done, the villains will be justly punished and the heroes will prevail and prosper. Remember: it is darkest before dawn, but dawn always comes. Please note also that although this story does not have the [Harem] tag, it does have an extremely slow build into a polyamorous relationship. Additionally, starting with Champion (book two of the series), the [Multiple Lead Characters], [Female Lead], and [Non-Human Lead] tags would also apply to varying degrees.This is a complete, ground-up rewrite of the original Paths of the Chosen, following feedback from here and elsewhere. It is now written in the third-person limited omniscient perspective and in the past tense. In addition, while the major plot beats are unchanged, most of what comes between them has been reconsidered and rewritten, with pacing and characterization as a special focus.---Update schedule: 2 chapters per week (Monday and Thursday), not counting bonus chapters. Chapter length is roughly 2,500 words on average, +/- 1,000 words. Chapters with explicit content tend to be longer so that they are still worth reading for those who would prefer a fade to black. --- Cover art by Agri Karuniawan (@artofagri).
