I’m Actually a Cultivation Bigshot

.
They were in a state of desperation and were fighting with their lives.
She looked like she had made up her mind.
She was determined.
She could not let her Master and her ancestor die!

She took a deep breath and was about to knock on the door.
However, the door suddenly swung open with a creak.

Li Nianfan walked out from his yard.
He was taken aback by Qin Manyun.
Then, he smiled and said, “Lady Manyun, you haven’t slept, too?”

Qin Manyun felt her heart race.
She hurriedly said, “Mr.
Li, you haven’t slept, either.”

Li Nianfan nodded.
“Yeah, I couldn’t sleep.
I heard the zither and woke up.
It must be the same for you, too, Lady Manyun.”

“Yeah.” Qin Manyun felt troubled and helpless.

She sneakily glanced at Blackie who was next to Li Nianfan.
She was struggling and anxious.

She was sweating already.
She opened her mouth but did not know what to say.

However, Li Nianfan suddenly asked, “Lady Manyun, did you bring your zither?”

Zither?

Qin Manyun jumped.
She suddenly felt her skin crawl as her blood rushed because she thought of a possibility.

“Yes… I did.”

Her voice was trembling because she could not help it.
It even sounded like a sob.

She hurriedly flicked her wrist and out came a refined antique zither.
She nervously and excitedly asked, “Mr.
Li, are you perhaps…thinking of…playing the zither?”

“Yeah.
Couldn’t sleep.
I coincidentally heard the zither and wanted to play, too.
I wanted to join in on the duet.”

Li Nianfan laughed and asked, “Lady Manyun, may I borrow your zither?”

“Yes, of course!”

Qin Manyun quickly nodded and moved away.
“Please, Mr.
Li.”

“Thanks.” Li Nianfan nodded and sat in front of the zither.
He observed it for a moment.

“Truly a woman’s zither.
How refined and beautiful, unlike mine.
I’m not sure what year my zither was produced but it’s old and rusty.”

Li Nianfan took a deep breath.
His aura suddenly changed as he emitted a powerful elegance.
Qin Manyun kept staring at Li Nianfan.
She clenched her little fist.

She realized that Li Nianfan was like a character that walked out from a painting.

Even the endless night was dissociated from Li Nianfan.
It was as if he was beyond it all, beyond the ties of the realm.

The Chosen One—he was truly the Chosen One.

Qin Manyun was mesmerized.
Li Nianfan had his hands on the zither, his fingers gently plucking on the zither strings.

Ding!

His zither music flowed like the river.
It was hypnotic.
The first note alone was enough to make listeners visualize streams of a curvy creek.

Ding, ding, dong, dong—

Li Nianfan plucked the zither strings with ease.
His fingers were not rushing.
They were dancing like fairies on the zither.
He made it look like it was easy.

The night was cool and quiet.
It started to move with the zither music.

Even the moon in the sky seemed to be brighter.

Everything quieted down for the zither sounds.

Soon, Qin Manyun was completely engrossed.
She was drunk on the zither music, she could not control herself.

She felt like she was on top of a huge mountain where continuous streams were flowing.
She felt as if she was lying amidst the forest, feeling her spirituality being cleansed.

The zither started to change slowly.
It was slightly lively, changed into a more upbeat tone.

It was as if he added the sounds of the birds and insects to the mountain streams.
It was smooth and a nice touch.

Then, the tempo started to change again.
It was low, quick, and constant.
It sounded like they were ascending to hug the clouds but the clouds suddenly sped up.
There were sparks in the air.
It was breathtaking.

Ding, ding, dong, dong—

The power of music was unstoppable.
The lively musical notes spread across the mountains and the rivers.
It was like sunlight shining across the dark night.

“Longevous Qingfeng, do you hear the zither music?” The Holy Emperor was on the ground.

He was no longer able to fight.
He could barely breathe.
He was out of power.
He calmly waited for death as he watched the huge waves of the Xuanyin Immortal Water.

Longevous Qingfeng was the same.
He shook his head in a daze.
“Zither music? Of course, I heard it.
We’re playing it.”

The Holy Emperor shook his head.
“Not ours, another’s.”

Splash!

The Xuanyin Immortal Water splashed again.
The Water Dragon stared at everyone mercilessly.
It attacked with its mouth wide open!

It was about to devour everyone!

“My Master, he’s playing the zither.”

That Immortal was vanishing into white smoke.
He said his final sentence in a relieved tone, “I can finally rest in peace.”

The white smoke vanished when he touched Nanan on the head.

“Grandpa Immortal…” Nanan was a sobbing mess.

Ding, ding, dong, dong—

The zither sounds were soft, it seemed to be coming from the other side of the realm.
However, it somehow sounded louder than what Gu Xirou and Yao Mengji were producing on their zithers.
It overpowered the sounds of splashes and the sounds of space and time.
Everyone heard it clearly.

The Water Dragon instantly stopped.
The Xuanyin Immortal Water retreated like an angry ocean wave.
It started to boil like it was struggling.

The Xuanyin Immortal Water became calm and peaceful in mere seconds.
It seemed to be transformed into an elegant flowing stream along with the zither sounds.

“Where is the zither music come from?”

The scrawny elder panicked.
His hair stood on end and he felt his skin crawl.
It was like the zither music was extremely dangerous and life-threatening!

“What’s going on? How could this be?!”

He was annoyed.
He was filled with fear and anxiety.
He tried his best to control the Xuan Water Bracelet but soon realized it had no effect on the Xuanyin Immortal Water.

The Xuan Water Bracelet suddenly shined.
The aura of his Master reappeared again.
He seemed to be accompanied by a sneer.
However, the Xuan Water Bracelet quickly dimmed and fell to the ground.
All signs of usefulness were wiped from the bracelet.

“This…”

The scrawny elder’s mouth was wide open.
He was too terrified to speak.
He begged in a trembling voice of despair, “Me…Mercy.”

The Xuanyin Immortal Water quietly surrounded him.
It slowly drowned him like a normal river.

Gu Xirou and Yao Mengji stopped.

They were extremely pale and they were bleeding from their mouths.
However, they were smiling.

Gu Xirou mumbled, “Is that the expert playing the zither? The music…is so lovely.”

Ding ding dong dong.

The zither was still playing gracefully.
It was smooth like velvet and fresh like spring rain.

Everyone closed their eyes and enjoyed it.
They were one with the music.

The final song was over but it echoed for a long while as it faded away.

Everyone slowly opened their eyes.
They were shocked but they enjoyed it.
Even their injuries got better.
They somehow felt light and joyous.

The endless Xuanyin Immortal Water disappeared without a trace.
They would have thought it was all just a big dream if it was not for the Xuan Water Bracelet that was on the ground.
