I'm Actually a Cultivation Bigshot

Chapter 910: Sword Cultivator’s Inner Conflict

“Thank you for saving me, senior,” Xiao Chengfeng woke up from his stone form and respectfully thanked the drunkard.

He might have been turned to stone earlier, but he could still feel and see what happened.

That female demon might not be a supreme being, but she was not far away from being one. The man in front of him did not have that distance at all, he was a true and blue supreme being.

At that moment, Wisdom was lacking, and the path forward was already cut out. No new supreme beings were being born. The man was an incredibly ancient existence.

“No need to thank me, I’ve always patrolled this sea.”

The drunkard waved it off in a nonchalant manner as he took a gulp of wine and said drunkenly, “Good, this is good wine.”

Xiao Chengfeng saw for himself the dangers of the sea, it was endless and filled with strong demons. Everyone was contaminated with gray mist, and their skills were immense. However, the person in front of him was able to guard it himself.

How strong could he be?

No wonder not a single demon was able to get out of the sea and bring harm to everyone. That meant that the person managed to suppress a gray mist origin by himself.

Xiao Chengfeng was incredibly respectful as he said, “Senior, if you like to drink, I have some amazing wine here that you can try.”

As he said that, he painfully took out a small pitcher and gave it to the drunkard.

It was some wine that he set aside during the last feast. Every time, he would not finish the wine and fill it back up after he drank half of it. Even though it would get less and less fragrant, it was still better than not having anything to drink.

“Oh?” The drunkard grabbed the pitcher and placed it in front of his nose. His eyes widened slightly before he took a sip. He closed his eyes and stood on the spot, savoring the taste.

After a long time, he said, “It is some good stuff…”

He handed his gourd to Xiao Chengfeng, “You give mine a taste.”

Xiao Chengfeng took the gourd and took a gulp. He was stunned on the spot.

He did not think much of it initially, feeling like even a supreme being’s wine could not compare to the expert’s. It really could not, but…

He suddenly felt an incredibly familiar taste from the wine.

It felt like… the expert’s wine.

Xiao Chengfeng was stunned as he exclaimed, “T-This wine…”

The drunkard laughed, “I’m just like you, constantly diluting good wine. It’s just that I’ve already done it for countless years. Every time there’s only half left in this gourd, I’ll refill it. As I drank and ate, a lot of time passed.”

Those words reverberated in Xiao Chengfeng’s mind.

For it to still taste like that after so many years, the wine came from the same source as the expert.

Could it be that there was someone else who could make wine like that other than the expert?

“After waiting for so many years, I finally found the same taste. He’s finally back…”

“The him you’re referring to. Are you talking about… the person who made the wine? Do you know him?”

Xiao Chengfeng was shocked. He knew that traces of the expert already appeared countless years ago. Back then, they saw the expert’s calligraphy in the forbidden area of the Yun Clan. Now, he saw the expert’s wine.

“I can’t remember anymore.”

The drunkard shook his head, “The thing I remember the most is that, after this moment, this name will no longer exist in the world. No one will remember the form or any memories at all. However, when the gray mist returned, so… will he.”

That piece of the past… was cut off?!

Xiao Chengfeng’s head spun. What reason could anyone have to cut off the memories of existence like the drunkards?

So would his memories be cut off in the future after helping the expert do so much as well?

Xiao Chengfeng suddenly panicked.

Suddenly, he heard the drunkard sigh and say bitterly, “Back then, we… lost.”

Xiao Chengfeng’s eyes brightened slightly.

So the memories were cut off because they were lost?

Then, if the expert won, would they get to keep their memories?

He had a lot of questions but started to feel a lot of pressure.

Buzz.

At that moment, the sword in Xiao Chengfeng’s hand started to shake again.

The drunkard smiled when he looked at the Sky Melting Sword, “Come with me, the sword is looking for its old opponent.”

Xiao Chengfeng walked right into the sea with him.

The sea looked incredibly blue on the top, but only after they entered did Xiao Chengfeng know that the sea water was completely contaminated by gray mist.

The drunkard moved in the water just like he did on land. He did not seem restricted at all. Everywhere he walked past, the demons contaminated by the gray mist would be wiped away, not leaving a single trace.

It caused Xiao Chengfeng to widen his eyes, feeling incredibly shocked.

Xiao Chengfeng gulped, unable to stop himself from saying, “Senior, could the old foe you’re referring to be…”

The drunkard said plainly, “The old rival of the Sky Melting Sword’s past owner.”

“What?!”

Xiao Chengfeng was stunned. How strong had the Sky Melting Sword’s old owner been? He was at least a supreme being. His rival could not be that weak.

Now that he was the new owner of the Sky Melting Sword, would meeting that person not just kill him?

He had a straight look on his face as he said, “Senior, I have to speak the truth now. I merely picked up this sword, it has nothing to do with me. I don’t have to meet that old rival.”

Buzz!

The Sky Melting Sword shook crazily.

Xiao Chengfeng said, “See, even the Sky Melting Sword nodded. It agrees with me.”

Buzz!

The drunkard turned around and suddenly smiled at Xiao Chengfeng, “I can see something special about you. This time, you’ll do better than the last owner of the Sky Melting Sword.”

Xiao Chengfeng’s eyes brightened, “What’s special about me?”

“You’re more shameless than he is!”

Xiao Chengfeng was speechless.

“I’m bringing you over to help save someone.” The drunkard continued to walk forward, and Xiao Chengfeng was unable to control himself as he followed the drunkard deeper.

Xiao Chengfeng was stunned, “Save someone? Could that old rival have something wrong with him?”

The drunkard said seriously, “He’s being affected by his inner heart, and ended up being contaminated by the gray mist. He sealed himself under the sea for countless years. It’s not the most important timing. If he can’t overcome it, he’ll be contaminated by the gray mist, and another calamity will befall the world. I won’t be able to completely guard the Endless Sea either.”

Xiao Chengfeng’s expression turned serious.

The problem the drunkard brought up was very severe.

However…

“Senior, my cultivation level is low, how would I save him?”

The drunkard said, “His inner conflict comes from the past owner of the sword. He’s always been stuck on not being able to find the strongest way of the sword. If you can beat him in that way, his inner conflict would disperse.

After saying that, an ancient coffin appeared in front of them. The coffin was incredibly rotten, and an unending gray mist circled the coffin.

“Drunkard, you’re here again?” There was an incredibly confident voice from within the coffin. Even not seeing the person still filled one with respect for the person’s strength.

The drunkard nodded, “Yes, I came here to save you this time.”
