I Might Be A Fake Cultivator
chapter-756

In the Realm of the Fallen Phoenix of the Purple Star State.

The vast expanse of charred earth here had now been transformed to become a boundless set of lush grasslands.

“We need to make haste, Grandma! Otherwise, we’re going to be late!” A little girl with a pair of bright, adorable eyes in plain and simple clothes skipped on ahead as she turned around with a smile toward the elderly woman behind her.

“I’m an old woman, and I can’t go that fast. You should be catering to me rather than urging me to walk faster…” the elderly woman replied as she made her way forward slowly. She looked up at the grasslands up ahead, where a majestic sect was situated in the far distance. “Hmph! Those carriages only took us halfway, but they didn’t dare to go any further. I shouldn’t have paid them…”

“If it isn’t for the fact that the daoist priest with the cow nose has a knack for fortune telling, I wouldn’t believe in anything like fate. The man we’re going to see is like someone as far away as the heavens to us, how can we expect him to take notice of commoners like us?” the elderly woman grumbled as she walked.

“Heehee… we won’t know until we try!”

The little girl chuckled with not even a single hint of self-awareness.

She looked up at the majestic palace in the distance, and her heart was filled with yearning. She closed her eyes before inhaling joyfully, and she felt like even the air here was sweeter to breathe.

The elderly woman shook her head with a resigned expression before hurrying in her footsteps.

“Grandma, let’s use the Divine Travel Talisman to get there sooner! We’re going to be late at this rate!”

“The Divine Travel Talismans can’t be squandered like that! Those are life-saving talismans!”

“But the cow daoist priest gave us a hundred.”

“Then it can save our lives a hundred times! We can’t waste them like this!”

“Waah… but if we’re too stingy with our Divine Travel Talismans and miss out on this opportunity, we’re going to regret it for the rest of our lives!” With a hint of displeasure on her face, the little girl pouted at the elderly woman.

The elderly woman chuckled lightly. “Who gave you the confidence to think that an opportunity is waiting for us up ahead?”

“The cow daoist priest did!” The little girl raised her adorable little chin with a confident expression.

The elderly woman: “…”

Rumble…

The earth suddenly began to tremor.

“Roar!”

A loud roar erupted, and the little girl’s adorable features turned pale from fright.

Three huge tigers whistled past them, towing along an extremely luxurious carriage as they sped toward the sect in the distance.

“C… cool!” The little girl was given quite a fright as she patted her chest and stared at the carriage, which had raced far ahead in the blink of an eye. She then turned her eyes toward the palace in the distance, and an even greater sense of anticipation welled up in her heart.

Rumble!

This time, a loud rumbling erupted from the sky above.

The little girl turned to look upward, and her mouth gaped open in shock.

There was a massive flying ark making its way across the sky like a gigantic flying fish as it sped toward the distance.

The surface of the ark shone with an iridescent light, and its appearance suggested that it was something very much out of the ordinary.

“Cool… Are these all immortals who are going to the grand opening of the sect?” The little girl’s expression was full of amazement.

Boom boom boom…

Another few immortal arks appeared from the clouds before traveling toward the sect in the distance.

Each of the immortal arks was like a huge ancient beast that was exuding a crushing might.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh…

Countless dazzling streaks of light flashed through the air, creating a spectacular light show in the sky.

These were all Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivators who were traveling through kinesis flights toward the sect in the distance, and they appeared like otherworldly immortals to the little girl.

A flying flaming cow towed a flying carriage as it whizzed past the little girl and the elderly woman, sweeping up a scorching heatwave that knocked the two of them to the ground.

“Grandma! Grandma! Are you alright?” The little girl ran toward the elderly woman before helping her up from the ground.

“I’m fine… I’m fine. I get knocked over by a stiff breeze these days. It’s just a pity that the cow was too fast. Otherwise, I could scam a few spirit stones from them by pretending to have been run over.” The elderly woman chuckled.

The little girl: “…”

The two of them continued ahead as the grasslands became more and more lively.

There were countless immortals whizzing through the skies, along with iridescent arks and giant beasts that were towing carriages behind them.

The little girl had also slowly become desensitized by this, and her initial shock and excitement had been replaced by a sense of numbness.

She looked up at the immortal sect in the distance and wiped the sweat from her intricate little face. Her confidence had slowly disappeared as she walked, and an expression of inferiority took its place.

Those flying in the sky and traveling along the ground were all immortals.

But they were mortals.

…

At the Four Nine Immortal Sect.

The grand opening was a huge event that had created a massive stir in the Kingdom of the Nine States, and countless sect representatives were on their way there to offer congratulatory presents.

An Lin stood on a large floating platform above the Four Nine Immortal Sect and was slightly overwhelmed by the sight that awaited him. One immortal ark after another descended from the sky, and a dense bunch of powerful huge beasts was forced to squish together as there wasn’t enough room for them on the ground below.

There were two huge bears, one black and one white, that looked like they were on the brink of being squashed into pancakes by the mountainous beasts that sandwiched them!

The Four Nine Immortal Sect didn’t have any underlings at the moment, so Da Bai, Xiao Chou, Yao Mingxi, Yao Xiu, Hu Guan, Tang Ximen, and the others were assigned with the duties of attending to all the guests. There wasn’t much for them to do anyway. All they did was accept presents, keep a record of which sect representatives had arrived, and guide those who had arrived toward the resting area that had been organized in advance.

There were three representatives from the Green Wood Imperial Family; the group of representatives consisted of Su Wenjun, Su Xin, and Dong Guo.

Aise from that, all the first-rate sects within the Purple Star State that had Return to Void Stage mighty figures among their ranks had all sent representatives to present congratulatory gifts. In fact, in most cases, the sect leaders of those sects had personally made the trip here.

They almost had no choice. This was a new colossus that had appeared in the Purple Star State, and they had to give them the respect that was due.

There were a total of eight first-rate sects in the Purple Star State. Aside from Daoist Yu Lang of the Heavenly Demon Sect and Shuang Yukong from the Frosty Sun Immortal Sect, who were both dead, the sect leaders of all the other six sects had arrived personally, including Celestial Maiden Fei Ying, Duan Hunzi, and Bai Pengzi.

There were a total of sixty-three first-rate sects with Return to Void Stage mighty figures within their ranks across the entire Kingdom of the Nine States. Among them, there were fifty-five sects that had sent representatives here, and forty-three of those were Return to Void Stage mighty figures!

The Green Wood Imperial Family of the Purple Star State, the Coiled Dragon Imperial Family of the Stone Dragon State, the Dark Wind Imperial Family of the Wind Plain State, the Divine Agriculture Imperial Family of the Gem State, the Flying Gold Imperial Family of the Thunder State, the Thousand Sword Imperial Family of the Spirit Sword State, the Dream Illusion Imperial Family of the Ancient Void State, the Flaming River Imperial Family of the Heavenly River State, and the Great Tang Imperial Family of the Bai Hua State.

All nine imperial families sent high-ranking officials as well as Return to Void Stage divine generals.

Before everyone knew it, there were over fifty Return to Void Stage mighty figures gathered at the Four Nine Immortal Sect. This was an absolutely terrifying notion!

Even An Lin himself was feeling quite overwhelmed, but he had to force himself to remain calm as he was the host.

After making some polite, obligatory conversations with the sect leaders of the first-rate sects, An Lin’s mouth was feeling parched, and he took a sip of tea before turning to the exquisitely beautiful woman beside him. “Su Qianyun, how did you promote our grand opening? How could there be so many cultivators here? I feel like… things might have spiraled a little out of control.”

He had only wanted to spread the news of the grand opening to attract a few sects here in order to profit from their congratulatory presents. However, he didn’t expect that so many cultivators would come here today! This was like some sort of epic festival!

An Lin was quite flabbergasted…

He experienced firsthand just how powerful the Kingdom of the Nine States was.

If all the Dao Integration Stage mighty figures were taken out of the equation, the cultivators gathered here today would be able to raze a place like the Holy Glacial Lands or the Dark Marshlands to the ground!

“How was I supposed to promote it?” Su Qianyun blinked in confusion as she explained in a mellow voice, “I said that our immortal sect has several Return to Void Stage mighty figures within its ranks and that we obtained the inheritances from the four great sects, the Heavenly Court, the Primordial Dragon Tribe, the Fairy Tribe, the Ancient Man Tribe, the Blood Tribe, and the Purple Star civilization…

“I told them our target is to become the fifth great sect of the Kingdom of the Nine States! Didn’t you say you wanted as many cultivators gathering here as possible? I think I did a pretty good job!”

An Lin raised his head and stared up at the sky…

This flex… went a little too far!
