I'm Actually a Cultivation Bigshot Chapter 601 – The Ministry's True Purpose, The Eight Great Tribes

Gulp! Gulp! The Ministry savored the water with his eyes closed. He could feel the beauty of the Pond of Spirits coursing through him.

“The taste is a little different from how it was described in the records. Maybe it was because it contained the golden holy water. I could definitely feel the effect!” The Minister said.

Then turned to the Left Messenger with a smile on his face. “Do not be so nervous, Left Messenger. The fact that you managed to bring me the water from the Pond of Spirits was enough to absolve you of your crimes.”

“Thank you, Minister,” the Left Messenger said in a shaky voice, her heart beating wildly. Her whole body was drained of color and she wished she could lie down.

Before her was the Minister, an existence older than time itself. An omnipotent existence who had nurtured many warriors from time immemorial! His charisma alone was enough to make many high-level members of the Heavenly Realm willingly become his subject.

However, he had drank p*ss right in front of her eyes. It was absolutely too shocking. Not forgetting the fact she was the one who brought it to him. How could she not be nervous?

In that very moment, she wished she would be granted a quick death.

'I'm sorry, Minister. It's not my intention to let you drink pee. I had no choice but to do this. Please forgive me.' She had to do everything in her power to stabilize her Dao Heart.

“Congratulations for getting the Pond of Spirits. You're one step closer to absolute freedom,” an abrupt voice said. A tall figure slowly walked out from where the Minister was sitting.

The Left Messenger raised her eyes to look at the figure and goosebumps and coldness broke out all over her entire body. Under his gaze, she felt like a mouse caught by a cat. She quickly averted her gaze.

He was a creature with red-gold skin exuding an innate domineering aura and power. No one would dare to defy him. The feeling of seeing a creature before her was like she was a mere mortal and him the legendary dragon!

“Behold, here stands Lord Guyu, from the Eldritch clan!”

'An Eldritch!' thought the Left Messenger with a start. She was taken back by all these and there was panic in her eyes.

It was not so long ago she learned about the existence of the Eldritch from the Minister and understood how terrible they were. She also knew the Eldritch would bring catastrophes to the Chaos. She never expected to come face-to-face with one so soon and this one seemed to be on good terms with the Minister.

She suddenly thought back to the time the Minister told her how lucky he was to survive and consume four Wisdom Elite Beings. Could he have had some help?

She did not dare to give it any further thought. “Greetings to Lord Guyu,” she said respectfully.

The Minister saw through her at a glance so he smiled and said calmly, “You've guessed it right. The reason why I have survived to this day is all because the Eldritch had appointed me to be their chosen one!”

What a supreme honor was it to be an Elite Being! The title alone was enough to make one unassailable within the Chaos and become the most powerful overlord. Even if the body was dead, the whole body will still be surrounded by the aura of the great, immortal aura and Dao!

It could not be desecrated by mere mortals even if they were high-level members of the Heavenly Realm. The price the Minister paid for his life and the corpse of four Elite Beings were to be the slave of the Eldritch.

Only a fool would not agree to a deal like this for he not only got to keep his life but gained immeasurable power at the same time. Although he had become a slave to the Eldritch, it did not deter from the fact that he was at the pinnacle of the Chaos when it came to his power with the ability to control the lives of ten thousand creatures. His social standing was definitely higher than those of the human race.

“All living things in Chaos are nothing but food to the Eldritch and I have been chosen to be the manager of this farm,” the Minister said with a proud smile.

“These farm animals should know where they stand and stop rebelling. The job of the manager is to kill all the rebels!” Lord Guyu said coldly. Though in his heart, he knew there was a need for the manager due to the fear the Eldritch held towards all the living things in the Chaos.

In the last catastrophe, the Nine Elites rose up and drove the Eldritch clan back to the Chaos Ocean. If they had a little more power, they would have been able to overthrow the whole Eldritch clan.

Only then did they realize that although the human race was born weak and small, within them laid the potential to compete with the Eldritch clan. Therefore, they appointed a manager to disrupt the system in the Chaos by eliminating the strongest of them all to avoid them organizing an uprising!

“What is the status update on the new ration?” Lord Guyu asked.

“Please take a look, my lord,” the Minister answered. He had obviously done his preparation beforehand and with a wave of his hand, a door in the hall opened up to reveal a figure bounded by two chains.

Although the form was human, there were many vastly different details. There were no whites in his eyes, his pupils were pale blue in color, the skin on his body was still changing color, and from time to time scales would appear on his face. The figure was emitting a fierce aura which transformed into black balls of flame with terrifying power.

“This is the hybrid of a Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal and a Black Fire Dragon, a perfect example of how the combination of a monk's mana and the demon's spirit would bring about new power. Please have a taste, my lord,” the Minister said.

“It looks delicious,” Lord Guyu said while licking his lips. He strode forward and pressed his palm on the figure's head.

The next moment, the figure glowed brilliantly and his mana started to flow out from his body and rushed towards Lord Guyu. It did not take long for the figure's body to be sucked dry and eventually his body became a speck of dust in Lord Guyu's palm.

Lord Guyu closed his eyes. He looked like he was savoring the taste. Finally, he opened his mouth to express his satisfaction. “The taste is indeed unusual. Speed up the experiments so we can mass produce this.”

“Don't worry, we will do our best!” The Minister said reverently.

The Left Messenger who witnessed everything with her own eyes was struck down with fear and found it difficult to breathe. She tried to make herself as small as possible, vehemently wishing she had the power of invisibility.

Everyone, including the Ministry people, had put down the reason for carrying out experiments to the Minister wanting to create a new spell, a spell with the ability to consume anything and everything in the world!

It never crossed their minds ultimate goal was to create a new diet for the Eldritch, who was bored of eating the same thing since time immemorial, and wanted to try new food.

Lord Guyu looked at the silent Left Messenger with an amused smile on his face. “Do not be afraid. You're assisting your Minister which means you're assisting the Eldritch clan as well. I won't eat you.”

Then, he turned to look at the Minister with the same smile still on his face. “You have done well and deserve a reward. Here's a piece of Blood Thirst Spiritual Wood.”

With a wave of his hand, the Blood Thirst Spiritual Wood landed in front of the Minister who thanked him profusely.

He had obtained the Pond of Spirits, and now the Blood Thirst Spiritual Wood. All that was left was the Repose Herb!

Although consuming the four Wisdom Elite Being meant that his power had skyrocketed, he still had not fully digested them even after so many years. In fact, the after-effects were getting worse and worse.

He suffered from backlashes everytime he used his power. It was due to this fact, he preferred not to engage in any battles unless necessary. He even tried to move less just so he could suppress the power inside of him.

With the Repose Herb he would be able to remove the after-effects and not only would his injuries be healed but he would also greatly increase his power!

“Apart from giving you this Blood Thirst Spiritual Wood, I can also tell you the whereabouts of the Repose Herb!” Lord Guyu said with a smile.

The Minister became very excited upon hearing this. “Please do tell!”

A glimmer of cold light flashed in Lord Guyu's eyes, and he said coldly, “Just at the edge of the eastern part of Chaos, a small world has opened up, and the guardian of the Repose Herb is the surviving member of the Eight Great Tribes!”

At the beginning of the Chaos catastrophe, it was not only the Nine Elites who were fighting against the Eldritch, but countless other forces, with the Eight Great Tribes being the strongest of them all.

Although in the end the Nine Elites were defeated, there were still surviving members from the Eight Great Tribes, guarding the edge of the Chaos Ocean against the Eldritch's return.

On his way over here, Lord Guyu had the bad luck of having to engage in a battle with one of them. He was badly damaged and he had vowed to exact revenge.

“You have nothing to worry about, my lord. I would send some men over now to eliminate the guardian!” The Minister then turned to the Left Messenger and said, “Left Messenger, summon both North and South Shadow Guard and bring more men with you to eliminate the remnant of the Eight Great Tribe immediately!”

“Yes, as you command!”

“Wait!” Lord Guyu cried to the Left Messenger. “There's one more thing. The reason I've rushed over here was because the Eldritch Chief sensed that woman's aura vibrating!”

He then narrowed his eyes before continuing on. “She won't be killed that easily though I dare say she has been greatly reduced now. Find her and eliminate her!”

In a blink of an eye, half a month had gone by.

At the edge of Chaos lay a small planet. The aura here was as beautiful as a rainbow with many opportunities for great fortune here. The only thing was, it was really, really small!

As far as the size was concerned, it did not even cover one percent of the size of the Prehistoric period. It would be safer to call it a sect instead of a planet for there was a force to be reckoned with here.

An old man wearing a light gray robe was standing on the roof, looking far ahead at the distance, his eyes deep with a trace of worry.

Whoosh!

A young man, using his sword as a means of transportation, flew over to where the old man was standing. Majestic mana pulsed in his body belying his spiritual cultivation.

“What are you looking at, grandfather?” asked the young man curiously.

“Our sky is different from the sky of other worlds,” The old man answered with a smile. “You can see the galaxies from the other world but here, one would be able to see the many strange vortexes which symbolizes the Chaos Ocean! You have to always remember, catastrophes come from the Chaos Ocean. It is our mission in life to suppress it forever!”

The young man nodded at the old man's words. “Yes, I know. You've been saying that to me ever since I was a little kid. You've always said that the Dao creates turbulence in the Chaos Ocean and we have no way of gauging its strength. Once it drops below a certain level of strength, the Ancient Disaster will cross the Chaos Sea. Hence, the reason I have to practice hard and stave off the Ancient Disaster.”

“It's good that you've kept it in mind.” The old man looked at the young man dotingly and could not help but let out a long sigh.

Not long ago, he had already fought against the Eldritch who came across the Chaos Sea. The fact that someone could cross the Chaos Ocean meant that the strength of the Dao was weakening, and the Ancient Disaster was not far away.

The Chaos of today did not have the good fortune of having the Nine Elites so how would they be able to starve of the Ancient Disaster? He feared that it would all end up in a catastrophe.

The old man suddenly squinted his eyes and quickly transformed his aura into a sword with the ability to cut down anything!

Crash! Bang! Boom!

Almost at the same time, many powerful figures rose into the sky, and their majestic aura filled this world, causing the space to be fragmented into one piece after another. It seemed as if the world had descended into madness.

They turned their attention to the same direction as if this was a battle for their lives. Along with the distortion of the space, a group of figures appeared with Lord Guyu's tall body at the forefront.

He stood with his hands raised up, like a god descending, and proudly said, “Surrender yourself and hand over the Repose Herb if you want your life to be spared!”

“Death to all Eldritch!” The old man said, getting straight to the point. He increased his power and locked on to his target before dealing out a Wisdom attack with his sword.

Suddenly, the whole world was covered in darkness as the force of the attack transformed into Power of Laws. It was as if the Chaos itself would be cut into two.

“What a stubborn old man. You only need to hand over the Repose Herb to be spared a gruesome death! Kill everyone here!” Lord Guyu said coldly while sending out an attack with a wave of his hand.

Boom!

The ground began to split open and the whole planet was close to being split in half!

Everything that the ripples touched was instantly decimated, even the lakes and rivers. This little planet. The Laws of the planet were completely shattered and it was on the verge of destruction.

Three seconds passed, accompanied by a terrifying coercion that shocked the sky, followed by a dazzling red light. From a distance, it looked like a sunny day in the Chaos, giving out its last light, before exploding into nothing.

The little planet had finally been blasted to smithereens!

A figure was pushed out by the explosion at a breakneck speed. He was surrounded by the Power of Law, carrying him far away from the explosion site.

In his ear, the old man's voice sounded, “Go to the Area of the Gods! There are endless opportunities there. Maybe you'll find a way to survive there!”

“Grandfather! Grandfather!” The young man souted anxiously.

The South Shadow Guard noticed the Repose Herb in the young man's hand, and immediately started to give chase while shouting, “Don't even think you can get away without handing over the Repose Herb!”

However, before he could even catch up to him, a sword fell directly in front of him. The old man held a three-feet shard sword in his hand — he was as firm as a mountain while at the same time as vast as the sea — blocking everyone!

Lord Guyu was flanked by South Shadow Guard and North Shadow Guard. He sneered contemptuously and asked, “Did you really think you can go against us three?”

“I used to fight alongside the Nine Elites against the catastrophe and have been in the Chaos Ocean! I would not make them lose face by losing this battle!”

The long sword began to hum in the hands of the old man and his mana and swordsmanship became intertwined, creating an endless large pond which immediately swallowed up the three men.
