Chapter 624: These Are the Motivational Quotes I Ate, I Am the Master of My Own Fate

The Rainbow Butterflies that came along were also as dumbfounded as the Divine Sunflower.

‘Is this an imaginary world?’

They could not imagine living in an environment like that.

The plants, flowers, and trees were all Spiritual Plants. The dirt and water were also unimaginable. The sand grains were priceless treasures. They would laugh until they died if they had one of the grains. The Divine Sunflower would laugh, too…

Their minds were buzzing. They were dizzy from the shock.

‘Also, the creatures that live here… Is that a bunch of bees around the flowers?’

Each one of them made them squirm.

‘Rare Chaos Creatures!’

‘They’re Rare Chaos Creatures!’

Nanan and Dragin who were supposed to tidy the backyard jogged over. They were in awe when they saw the Diving Sunflower and the Rainbow Butterflies.

“Wow, brother. These butterflies are so beautiful. Are they new here?”

“This flower looks so unique and the color’s so stunning!”

Li Nianfan smiled and said, “This flower’s great. It looks stunning and it can produce seeds. It’s a great snack to eat when you’re bored. Delicious and a great way to pass the time, too.”

He started to dream about his life where he would read the newspaper while snacking on Sunflower seeds.

He did not expect the Immortal Realm to have a Sunflower. It was a pleasant surprise.

He said, “This Sunflower’s a bit unhealthy. Look after it from now on.”

“Yeah, no worries, brother.”

“Leave it to us. We’re professionals.”

“Professionals?” Li Nianfan had to laugh. He shook his head and said, “You guys are far from professionals.”

In his eyes, Nanan and Dragin would always be naughty children. He let them manage the backyard so they could play while they did their tasks. They were nowhere near professionals.

Nanan instantly stood up for herself. She pouted angrily and asked, “Brother, are you looking down on us?”

Even the obedient Dragin looked at Li Nianfan with seriousness. “Brother, we always do our chores seriously.”

“Yo, it looks like you don’t buy it.”

Li Nianfan had to pinch their cheeks from how angrily cute they looked. Then, he said, “Fine. Follow me then. I’ll convince you.”

“Hmph, impossible!”

Nanan and Dragin scrunched their noses. They had decided not to cave in no matter what!

Li Nianfan walked out from the backyard with Nanan and Dragin. The Divine Sunflower and the Rainbow Butterflies moved and started to worship everything.

The Rainbow Butterflies carefully flew to the flowers and danced with the bees.

The Divine Sunflower carefully turned its head around and nodded at the surrounding plants with respect.

“Hello, seniors. I’m new here. Please, look out for me.”

…

Li Nianfan went back to the yard and headed straight to the storage room. Then, he moved things around.

Soon, Li Nianfan walked out with a heavy-looking book.

The cover of the book was green. It was slightly wrinkled. He dusted off the dirt. There was a row of words on the cover which stated ‘Agriculture Encyclopedia’.

“Studies work best with practice.”

Li Nianfan passed the book to Nanan and Dragin, “Here. This is professional. Remember to study well.”

Nanan and Dragin were still pissed off. They took the book and flipped the pages.

However, they stopped when they flipped to the first page. The book pages were shining.

The intense golden light shined from the pages. It was not blinding. It was soft and subtle.

Powerful Insights flowed from within. Endless powers surrounded them and formed a buzzing phenomenon around them.

This type of phenomenon would occur whenever Chaos treasures appeared.

The book had content that would turn the Chaos upside down!

The first page shared tips on how to plow the land.

Nanan and Dragin stared at the content thirstily. The stance of holding a hoe, proper plowing methods, and the areas to plow were written in detail with image references.

“This… This plowing act goes along with Wisdom. It can be a power of its own!”

“This is not plowing land. This is clearly plowing Wisdom!”

“I see that we’re far from professionals.”

“So, this is how you milk a cow. You also need to watch your milking angle and strength.”

“No wonder the cow in the backyard won’t cooperate with us when we milk her.”

“You can do that to make the Firefinches and Peacock lay eggs? I see.”

…

Jiang Liu quietly sat still like a mummy. He peeped at a familiar image in the book and instantly jolted. He had to ask, “Lord Saint, may I look at it?”

Li Nianfan casually replied, “Sure.”

Jiang Liu immediately went over with sparkly eyes.

They were looking at the page of chopping wood.

Jiang Liu heard a buzzing in his mind. He stared dead at the image and instructions of the book.

“So, this is the correct pose for chopping wood.”

“Chopping wood’s also a way to Wisdom!”

“This is the Power of Chopping Wood!”

He had been chopping wood for so long. He thought that he already knew how to chop wood. He managed to kill the Eighth Sword Intern of the Palm Sword Cliff with his wood chopping skills. However, it appeared that he knew nothing!

The ‘Agriculture Encyclopedia’ was too precious. It was the best book in the Chaos!

However, the legendary book was only an agriculture book to the expert. Any rare and precious items were basic to the expert.

Li Nianfan noticed that they were very interested in agricultural knowledge. He did not disturb them. He smiled and watched.

Li Nianfan waited until they were done. Then, he asked Jiang Liu what happened.

Jiang Liu was full of guilt. He shamefully said, “Lord Saint, I let you down. I lost that sword you gave me.”

Li Nianfan comforted him, “Losing a sword isn’t a big deal, as long as you’re alive.”

However, Jiang Liu was clearly upset. He looked down and felt awful. The expert must be disappointed in him.

Li Nianfan noticed it. He had to frown.

‘This is an honest young fella, maybe he’s got that ‘one shall live with his sword, and die with his sword’ mentality. I can’t let him continue being depressed.’

He groaned for a moment and said, “Maybe losing the sword’s a good thing.”

Jiang Liu was slightly surprised. He looked at Li Nianfan with confusion.

Li Nianfan continued to say, “Jiang Liu, you probably didn’t realize that you put too much importance on a sword.

“You feel like that sword is what you are, that the sword can bring you power, and that the sword has your knowledge. You rely too much on that sword that it became the source of your confidence.

“Swordsmen should think that their sword is important, but… You have to realize that the sword isn’t the true sword!”

Boom!

Jiang Liu widened his eyes as his pupils dilated. Even the color of his iris changed. He was enlightened and had goosebumps.

‘That sword isn’t the true sword.

‘The true sword isn’t the sword I can hold, instead, it’s the sword in my heart!

‘The expert’s right. I relied too much on that sword. That sword was a legendary sword and it contained my knowledge, so I felt like I could rule the world by holding it. That kind of mentality stops me from reaching the top in Sword Cultivation!

‘Moreover, the expert meant that the Sword Cultivation in that sword belongs to the Elites. I should walk my own Sword Cultivation path!

‘Losing the sword’s a good thing. It’s the best thing!’

Jiang Liu breathed fast. His emotions and powers were boiling up inside him.

The simple sentence was better than countless years of hard cultivation. He might never have understood it!

‘Truly the expert. He advised me again!’

Jiang Liu teared up. He was irrecoverably touched. He forced himself to endure the tears and said with a hoarse voice, “Lord Saint, I think I’ve got it.”

Li Nianfan could feel the changes in his emotions. He had to laugh. Then, he said, “Good.

“Remember, Sword Cultivation is on the cultivator. A grain of sand can fill the ocean, a blade of grass can cut through the stars. Is it because the sand is powerful? Is it because the grass is powerful? No, it is because of who used them!”

‘The expert’s saying that sword cultivators are the strongest in Sword Cultivation!’

Jiang Liu was flushed with emotions. He said, “Lord Saint, I’ll become a Sword Elite!”

Li Nianfan noticed that Jiang Liu was passionate again. He was instantly pleased. ‘The motivational quotes from my past realm are awesome!

‘As the saying goes, these are the motivational quotes I ate, I’m the master of my own fate!’

In the Chaos.

On a star.

It was the world of a million swords!

The star was impaled by all sorts of swords!

Each sword was gleaming, lighting up the star.

It was an ocean of Sword Qi, even if the star was in the Chaos. Those who went near it would be ground into ashes, including meteors.

The Second Sword Intern showed up. He carefully treaded on the star and walked amongst the swords. He arrived at a tower.

On the tower, a young man sat cross-legged.

He looked handsome. He had sharp brows and bright eyes. He looked young, but his aura was far superior compared to powerful old cultivators. Holographic light shone behind him and a figure of a sword surrounded him.

The Second Sword Intern instantly bowed with respect when he saw the young man. “Greetings to the Sword Master.”

The Sword Master opened his eyes. He did not speak. He lifted his hand and pointed at the Second Sword Intern.

Then, the Sword of Slaughter flew to the Sword Master.

“The Sword of Slaughter’s really nice. You guys did well this time!”

The Sword Master looked at the Sword of Slaughter with excitement.

The sword was too important to him!

It… It was connected to his fate.

He held the sword and shut his eyes. Hints of Sword Intent started to surround him. The longswords above the stars started to shake.

The Sword Intent was not all over the place, but it was like an emperor. Hints of it were better than a lot.

After a while, the Sword Master suddenly opened his eyes.

‘Indeed, this sword carries the knowledge of an Elite!’

He acquired Slaughter Sword Cultivation!

He said, “Sword Intern, go to the treasure vault and take out the Chaos Yuan Jade Bottle. Create a Yuan Qi secret border. Also, tell the public that the Palm Sword Cliff’s Yuan Qi secret border’s free for cultivators to use!”

The Second Sword Intern was slightly taken aback. He had to ask, “Sword Master, are we really going to use the Chaos Yuan Jade Bottle?”

The Palm Sword Cliff had existed for generations and was famous in the Chaos because of its invincible treasures. The Chaos Yuan Jade Bottle was the most important treasure of them all!

That was because the bottle contained all the Chaos Spiritual Qi that the Palm Sword Cliff had gathered for countless years!

Chaos Spiritual Qi was hard to come by. Each sniff was hugely helpful for cultivation. If they used the Chaos Yuan Jade Bottle, all the Chaos Spiritual Qi would be used up for sure. ‘Also, how can he open it up for the public to use?’

He could not figure it out.

The Sword Master calmly glanced at the Second Sword Intern. Then, a thread slashed through the air. A strong Sword Intent pierced through the Second Sword Intern. He groaned and teared up blood!

He hurriedly said with fearful respect, “Yes, Sword Master!”

Suddenly, the figure of the Old Ginseng appeared next to the Second Sword Intern. He said, “Sword Master, I spent the most effort to get this Sword of Slaughter. Don’t forget our deal!”

“I can order my Palm Sword Cliff disciples to cooperate with you. But, it’s all up to you to catch your opponent.”

Then, he said, “I need to meditate next. No matter what happens, nobody should come near my retreat!”

The Second Sword Intern knew what to say. “I’ll leave now.”

Soon, the Area of the Gods learned about the secret border.

“The Palm Sword Cliff’s opening up the Yuan Qi secret border for the public? Really?”

“In that case, I can get some free Chaos Spiritual Qi. I have hoped for a breakthrough that’s been bothering me for three thousand years!”

“Chaos Spiritual Qi, man. I can’t believe that the Palm Sword Cliff’s so generous. I have to go no matter what!”

“I heard that the Palm Sword Cliff’s Eighth Sword Intern was killed by a young Sword Cultivator recently.”

“I heard about that, too. That young man died tragically.”

“It’s expected. What a shame for a prodigy.”

At the Heavenly Palace.

“What do you guys think about the Palm Sword Cliff’s decision?”

The Jade Emperor sat on the throne in the Linxiao Palace and looked at everyone.

“It must be a scheme! It must be a setup!” said Juling Shen loudly with wide eyes.

Yang Jing said, “The Palm Sword Cliff hurt the expert’s woodsman. It’s an unamendable conflict. They must be our biggest enemy!”

Ye Liuyun nodded. Then, he said, “Chaos Spiritual Qi’s common for us, we don’t need to go there for the Chaos Spiritual Qi. However, we have to seek justice for the expert’s woodsman. So, we have to go no matter what. We have to crash the Palm Sword Cliff’s plans!”

“I’ve always wanted to fight the Palm Sword Cliff cultivators with swords! That Jiang Liu fella’s so rude. He went to fight them alone without me. If I was there, he wouldn’t have been abused by them!”

Xiao Chengfeng was pissed off, too. “My sword will teach those Palm Sword Cliff cultivators a lesson!”
