Chapter 121: This Fortuitous Opportunity is Hard to Get

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Standing on the Saint Mountain, Shen Tian was the sole focus of attention.

All the inner-sect disciples looked at him with passionate eyes, full of awe and respect for their new Saint.

Initially, they thought only Zhang Yunting and Fang Chang were worthy of the Saint position. The previous was a popular choice among the ladies, while the latter was the strongest disciple at the sacred ground.

Yet when compared to Senior Brother Shen Tian...

When it came to appearance and disposition, Senior Brother Yunting lost out; when it came to talent and cultivation levels, Senior Brother Fang also seemed to lose out!

Just look—when Senior Brother Fang tried to challenge Senior Brother Saint, he did not even manage to enter the Saint Mountain. He was simply defeated by the latter's array formation!

Meanwhile, Senior Brother Yunting was renowned for his gentle temperament, and he had always enjoyed high popularity among the female disciples.

But his popularity with the ladies had suffered a huge blow since Shen Tian's arrival.

The Sacred Leader then revealed how the new Lightning Explosion Talisman had been completed upon Shen Tian's instruction. Lots of male disciples turned to become Shen Tian's fans instead—and all this had happened within this short while.

Coupled with the speech Shen Tian gave about letting all disciples become lions and succeeding in their cultivation routes...

All the hot-blooded youths were now shaking with passion and hope for the future.

Unknowingly, Shen Tian had become the new idol at the sacred ground.

The Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader looked at Shen Tian for a while before speaking. "This is no simple matter. I cannot just decide on this by myself, and I have to call upon a meeting with the other Elders to discuss about this."

One must understand that although the Sacred Leader was the nominal owner of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, the sacred ground was never a place that allowed a single person to command over all.

Even for the Sacred Leader, he could only command ownership of the place for just 1,000 years—and within that period of time, he had to run the place together with the Elders and Grand Elders.

For matters that deviated from the sacred ground's ancient teachings, the Sacred Leader would have to call for a formal meeting to discuss with all other authorities. He had no right to just make the decision on his own.

However, it was obvious what the Sacred Leader's attitude was toward this matter when he announced he would call upon the formal meeting.

This was because currently, only the Sacred Leader, the Saint, and the Saintess had the privileges to learn the Decalamity skill. This practice had allowed them to remain superior over the other Elders and Grand Elders. Should a meeting really be called upon to approve the sharing of this skill, it was almost confirmed that everyone would gladly accept it.

Though one could not predict how things would become in the future, at least for this couple of centuries, this restricted skill would allow the core disciples to tremendously improve their strength.

At the same time, this meant the Sacred Leader's authority as the owner of the sacred ground might be challenged. The same went for how disciples would view the Saint or the Saintess.

Not every leader could make such decisions unless they were really confident in their abilities.

Nonetheless, the Sacred Leader thought he was such a leader, and naturally, his disciple would be like him too.

Besides, he was never a conservative person. If not, how would he have gone forth to cultivate the Heavenly Dao Sutra?

As such, he decided to go ahead with this reform!

So what if others also learn this highly-revered skill?

I may be your Sacred Leader based on nominal rights, but I can remain at this position with my own strength!

Similarly, my disciple, the Son of Providence, will prove that he is stronger than everybody else too!

At that moment, all disciples looked up in respect at the Sacred Leader, who was levitating in mid-air like a God of Thunder and at Shen Tian, who stood proudly at the peak of the Saint Mountain like a revered immortal.

They were amazed by their dispositions, and it felt like they were witnessing the arrival of a new era.

Meanwhile, Fang Chang clenched his fists and thought to himself, Just wait till I reach the Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage. I will definitely overpower that rascal!

At this moment, a gigantic White Tiger avatar appeared.

Roar!

Its roar seemed to even shake the heavens, sun, and moon.

A slim figure appeared in the distant skies. Donning the White Tiger Clear Light Armor Suit, the girl looked like a Goddess of War as her cape made fleeting sounds against the rushing winds.

Correct, this person was none other than Zhang Yunxi. As she sped toward the Saint Mountain together with her avatar, she bellowed, "Zhang Yunting, Fang Chang, who permitted you to cause a ruckus at the Saint Mountain? How dare you!"

In the blink of an eye, the flustered Zhang Yunxi reached the Saint Mountain.

Only when she saw that the Sacred Leader was there did she calm down slightly and said, "Your daughter pays her greetings to Father."

The Sacred Leader nodded and commented in an emotionless voice, "You are now at the Golden Core Eight Refinement Stage? Not bad."

Zhang Yunxi smiled and replied, "It's all thanks to Junior Brother Shen Tian for finding the forbidden skills, and also allowing me to absorb quite a lot of the Divine Lightning's Origin.

"If not, I most probably could only reach the Golden Core Eight Refinement Stage after several years of cultivation."

The ignored Fang Chang took this opportunity to speak. "Junior Sister, congratulations!"

Zhang Yunxi snorted and replied, "First Senior Brother, why did you come here to create all this ruckus?"

Fang Chang couldn't hide his anger at that comment. "Because Senior Brother heard that Shen Tian bullied you!

"Junior Sister, be rest assured! I have checked the ancient teachings. It only mentioned that the fated person may only marry the Saintess if they are in love with each other!

"Although I do quite like this fellow's temperament, I will never sit aside and allow him to bully you!"

Shen Tian blinked, and his expression looked odd as he commented, "What, did the ancient teachings really say so?"

Fang Chang snorted. "Of course, so don't you dare to use the ancient teachings to force Junior Sister!"

While Fang Chang blabbered away, Zhang Yunxi's face was turning darker and darker.

Meanwhile, Shen Tian heaved a sigh of relief secretly. "Oh! Please, don't worry. Senior Sister and I don't have anything between us!"

Fang Chang sneered. "Shen Tian, don't you dare fool me. I heard Junior Brother Yunfeng say that both Junior Sister and you have already gone through dual cultivation1!

"I am warning you now. I am willing to fight fair with you for Junior Sister. But if you dare to dump her... Even if you are our Saint, I will never acknowledge you. I will beat you up!"

Upon hearing Fang Chang's absurd claims, Shen Tian felt like he might as well have exploded on the spot.

What, Senior Sister Yunxi and I... doing dual cultivation!?

It's that fellow called Yunfeng again, is it!?

Where is that rascal!?

I am going to aim 20 Lotus Shooting Guns at him!

One could only imagine—if even Shen Tian was incensed by these comments, needless to mention Zhang Yunxi's reactions.

She tried her hardest not to look at Shen Tian as she walked toward Fang Chang.

"First Senior Brother, seeing that Yunxi has reached the Golden Core Eight Refinement Stage, do you mind if we exchange a few blows for practice's sake?"

Fang Chang smiled proudly at that.

"You see that? I am still the first person Junior Sister thinks of when she wants to practice her skills!

"Junior Sister, please be rest assured, I am not a fogey guy. I don't mind if you are not a virgin anymore.

"I will fight fairly for your love with Shen Tian. If Junior Sister thinks that— Uh-uh-uh!?"

Before Fang Chang could finish his sentence, Zhang Yunxi threw a Silence spell at him.

She forced a smile out and said, "Senior Brother, can you just stop?"

Fang Chang was taken aback. Nevertheless, he still nodded innocently to show his approval and unwavering support for everything Zhang Yunxi did.

Zhang Yunxi finally let out a relieved smile. She turned and looked at the crowd of disciples who had gathered below the mountain.

There was a man donned in green robes and carrying a longsword within the crowd. He was just about to sneak off successfully when Zhang Yunxi called him, "Junior Brother Yunfeng, why are you in a hurry to leave? Why not exchange a few blows with me too?"

Following which, Zhang Yunxi bowed to the Sacred Leader and spoke. "Father, I shall take my leave then."

The next moment, she dragged Fang Chang and Li Yunfeng along with her as she flew off on her sword and disappeared as fast as she first appeared at the Saint Mountain.

All this while, Shen Tian did not know what he ought to make of the situation.

Senior Sister sure did come and leave pretty fast.

And even if she left, why must she drag Junior Brother Fang away?

I am still trying to make peace with him and convince him to come on an experiential journey with me!

That's right! The reason Shen Tian wanted to get Fang Chang to go on an experiential journey with him was that Fang Chang had a gold halo on top of his head.

While it was not as bright as what Zhang Yunxi had, it was still glistening away in the sunlight.

Personally, Shen Tian would rather interpret this as a typical case of what's meant by 'fortune favors fools'.

No matter what—the important thing was that Shen Tian had seen an image above Fang Chang's halo when the latter was mercilessly subjected to that exciting 'bondage' treatment in front of the Saint Mountain.

It seemed like the First Senior Brother of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground would soon meet some great fortuitous opportunity.

Remember, the last time Shen Tian spotted the fortuitous opportunity on top of Zhang Yunxi's golden halo, she had managed to recover the Drager Pendant.

It was precisely because of that incident that Shen Tian had been able to turn his white-flecked-with-black-spots halo to the lush green halo he wore now.

As such, how could Shen Tian miss on such a fortuitous opportunity?

However, Shen Tian was quite worried that if he invited Fang Chang to go on a training journey with him, that simple-minded bloke might butcher him for the sake of his beloved Zhang Yunxi—though it was just an unrequited love on his side.

While chances of him getting successful with that idea are minimal, you can't rule this out totally!

Shen Tian was thrown into a dilemma then.

Sigh... This fortuitous opportunity is hard to get!

Chapter 122: Junior Brother, You Seemed Like a Rabbit!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As Zhang Yunxi took Fang Chang and Li Yunfeng away, the Sacred Leader also disappeared from the skies.

The forgotten old Taoist priest had a funny expression on his face as he followed behind the Sacred Leader's trails. He had originally come here to spot a good scene—yet what he witnessed here truly rendered him speechless.

As for the rest of the true disciples who had gathered below the Saint Mountain, they wanted to go into the Saint Mountain and pay their overdue greetings to the Saint.

Yet the cautious Shen Tian had immediately reactivated the Saint Mountain's protective array once the Sacred Leader left. It seemed like he was determined to stay out of the worldly affairs and concentrate on his cultivation.

As such, much as though those true disciples were reluctant, they could only depart from the mountain. This was especially so for the female true disciples, who would keep looking back every few steps in the hope of spotting a chance to enter the Saint Mountain.

After sending off everyone, Shen Tian sat down on the Enlightenment Stone again while mindlessly plucking a flower off from the grasses.

He started picking the flower's petals off one by one while mumbling to himself, "Invite for experiential journey, don't invite for experiential journey, invite for..."

Seeing Shen Tian's behavior, Eunuch Gui and Qin Gao exchanged looks and turned away again, each deep in their own thoughts.

Invite for experiential journey? Can it be that His Highness is going to invite the Saintess to come along with him for an experiential journey?

Eunuch Gui felt tears of joy welling up in his eyes.

Is His Highness finally ready to find a Dao companion?

With His Highness's charm, if he is willing to go for more such journeys with the Saintess, the lady will definitely fall for him.

And in time to come, should both of them give birth to several plump kids and bring them to visit Concubine Lan at her grave, Her Majesty will finally be able to rest in peace!

At that thought, Eunuch Gui couldn't contain his excitement and urged, "Your Highness, are you thinking of inviting the Saintess to come along with you for your experiential journey?"

Huh, why would I want to invite the Saintess?

I have already enjoyed my fill of her fortuitous opportunity. She doesn't even have another one any time soon!

Shen Tian now only had eyes for Fang Chang—he was determined to share in his fortuitous opportunity!

Come to think of it, the disciples at the sacred ground seemed to have greater providence than those people at the Country of Fire.

Back at the Country of Fire, most people wore white haloes, and it would be quite rare to find someone with a little green color on their halos.

Yet at the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, green halos were like the disciples' statutory accessories—they wore lush green halos, bright green halos, dark green halos... It was very pleasant to look at and made the whole place full of life.

Meanwhile, all the true disciples would even develop green halos that were emitting pale red sheens or green haloes that were flecked with red spots.

However, even if their providence halos seemed good, it did not mean these people would meet with fortuitous opportunity in any near time. That was a pity, but Shen Tian understood that all good things took time.

Since his arrival, Shen Tian could only see the predicted images of fortuitous opportunities for two true disciples.

One was the fortuitous opportunity Qin Yundi had with the electrolysis theory, and the next would be Fang Chang's fortuitous opportunity.

Since Shen Tian now had to remain as the Saint, he was desperate to share in others' fortuitous opportunities so as to improve in his own providence.

As such, he was determined to share in Fang Chang's fortuitous opportunity!

With that thought, the look in Shen Tian's eyes grew steadfast.

If I am unable to invite him to come along for the experiential journey, then... I shall get his fortuitous opportunity and share with him afterward!

This was like how back at the Country of Fire's royal palace, Shen Tian had first gotten hold of the Demon Book of Hyuga and then bestowed it upon Qin Gao.

In the end, the providence of Qin Gao, Shen Tian, and even Eunuch Gui had become greater!

Since it was possible to manipulate Qin Gao's fortuitous opportunity, the same should occur for Fang Chang.

Yep, that's it. I will first snatch his stuff, then return it to him!

Shen Tian finally reached a decision.

But of course, even though he had made up his mind, Shen Tian wasn't going to be impulsive while acting on his plan.

After all, this was a fortuitous opportunity which he was planning to 'hijack' from one of the golden-haloed bigwigs.

Just think back to all of those super fortuitous opportunities that he had come by—which of them were easy to get?

The Demon Book of Hyuga? If not with the help of the green-haloed Eunuch Gui, he wouldn't even be able to come across it.

The Seven-Treasure Fairy Calabash? If Li Changge had not come to his sister's rescue, he might already have been butchered by Negar.

As for the Divine Firmament Drager Pendant, if Shen Tian had kept it for himself and not passed it to Zhang Yunxi, he would not have been able to walk out of the Myriad Spirit Garden alive.

As the saying went, "A man's wealth is his own ruin by causing others' greed."

This was especially true in the cruel cultivation world. If one did not have enough providence, they would be robbed of their rightful fortuitous opportunities.

Hmm, what should I do exactly to make sure that I get Fang Chang's fortuitous opportunity and then bring it back safely for him?

Shen Tian thought for a good while before an idea struck him—since he did not have enough providence, why not share some from others?

After looking at Eunuch Gui who carried a green-with-red halo, Qin Gao who carried a red-with-gold halo, and finally Qin Yundi who now carried a halo which was almost two-thirds in gold due to the successful discovery of the electrolysis theory... Shen Tian felt somewhat more confident and comforted.

I supposed the chances of me getting Fang Chang's fortuitous opportunity should be heightened if I bring them along?

If they are not enough, I may need to get Senior Sister Yunxi to come along too. After all, her providence was much greater than Fang Chang. I don't believe that even she is unable to subdue his fortuitous opportunity!

Yeap, that's it! I will bring these people of great providence to come with me for an experiential journey!

Shen Tian immediately jumped up from the Enlightenment Stone. He had a passionate look in his eyes as he asked Qin Yundi, "Junior Brother Yundi, would you like to live (leave) with me?"

What!?

Qin Yundi's pretty face reddened as he stuttered, "Uh... Senior Brother, what do you mean?"

At the same time, Qin Gao froze as he heard Shen Tian's question.

Is His Highness unable to contain himself anymore?

Just now, His Highness had also looked briefly at me. The way he looked was so similar to how he looked at me when we first met!

Can it really be that my conjectures are... correct? His Highness did not accept the favor from all those fairy-like ladies because he is...

Oh dear, I cannot, I really cannot do it!

Just when Qin Gao could barely finish the scene in his head, Shen Tian spoke and interrupted his fantasies—

He looked at Qin Yundi and nodded. "As you know, Senior Brother here had just reached the Foundation Establishment stage from this half a month's worth of hard work at cultivating.

"As the saying goes, 'After a prolonged period of quiet activity, one thinks of getting active physically.' I want to leave the sacred ground and go for an experiential journey. Is Junior Brother willing to come with me?"

Shen Tian's reply made Qin Yundi heave a sigh of relief. As he relaxed, his eyes, which were widened due to shock, also went back to their original sizes.

Phew, so Senior Brother was only trying to invite me to 'leave' with him for an experiential journey?

To be honest, if it were other peers who came and asked the same of Qin Yundi, he would straightaway reject them.

The reason was simple—he did not like to go out for adventures.

What Qin Yundi liked to do was to research and improve the Lightning Explosion Talisman, the Demon-Penetrating Gun, the Lightning Explosion Talisman Array, etc., within the comforts of his home.

But since Senior Brother asked me to go on an experiential journey with him, will he teach me more theories along the way?

Qin Yundi always felt that there was more room for exploration when it came to the Lightning Explosion Talisman and the Demon-Penetrating Gun. He would dearly love to tune them to perfection upon guidance from Senior Brother.

At that thought, he nodded determinedly. "If Senior Brother truly wants me to go with you, then it is my pleasure!"

Shen Tian turned to Eunuch Gui and Qin Gao then.

"Uncle Gui, Gao, how about both of you? Come along with us!"

When he saw both of them nodding their heads, Qin Yundi pondered for a while and spoke. "Hmm, if so many of us are going on the journey...

"Senior Brother Saint, please wait here for me. I need to get some important equipment from the Golden Lotus Mountain to prepare for this trip. I will be right back!"

With that, Qin Yundi flew straight for the Golden Lotus Mountain on his sword.

After about one hour, he returned to the Saint Mountain again.

Shen Tian opened the protective array and allowed Qin Yundi's entrance, but he was rather surprised to see the bright smile on the latter's face.

Meanwhile, Qin Yundi held onto a golden lotus-shaped ring, which was now spurting out all sorts of stuff.

Bling~ Bling~ Bling~

Golden talismans—i.e., the improved version of the Yin-Yang Lightning Explosion Talisman—were stacked onto the ground. Each stack of talismans was almost half a grown man's height, and there were over ten stacks of such talismans in front of them.

Meanwhile, white-colored spirit steel balls, which contained the Yin-Yang Penetrating Divine Lightning, were packed into crates and transported here too. There were now dozens of such crates before them.

Shen Tian swallowed involuntarily and looked at the satisfied expression on Qin Yundi's face.

Am I hallucinating? Or else, why does Junior Brother look so much like a rabbit now?

Chapter 123: I'll Use Some Simple Stuff

Shen Tian was pleased with how careful Qin Yundi was.

That's the right way! As a cultivator, he must be prepared when going on an adventure. Without defense tools, weapons, firearms, and explosives, how could we defend ourselves?

Shen Tian looked through the items Qin Yundi had prepared and smiled. "Junior Brother, you are very well prepared. But why do you have to take them all out? You still need to pack them later."

Qin Yundi shook his head and said, "Senior Brother, these Lightning Talismans and explosives are for you guys."

Then, he took out two more short guns and passed them to Qin Gao and Eunuch Gui.

"Guys, these are Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Guns. Although their power is no match to the Lotus Shooting Guns, their bullets can still break open a normal Golden Core Restriction realm and harm a Perfected Golden Core cultivator. These will be useful if you use them at the right time."

Shen Tian felt resigned and said, "Junior Brother, if you give us all the weapons, what about you?"

Qin Yundi looked at Shen Tian and felt touched by how caring he was. He smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll use some simple stuff."

Then, Qin Yundi touched the Golden Lotus Necklace he was wearing. The necklace gave off a golden shine, and many black color lights flew out of it—those lights were Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Guns!

The guns floated behind Qin Yundi, a total of 36 of them.

Qin Yundi said, "Because of the tight time and limited resources, I could only make so many for now. I was about to get 99 of these and give them to the disciples for self-defense for the trial in two weeks' time. Since Senior Brother needs to go out for an experiential journey, I can use them in their stead. I'll make more of them later."

Shen Tian gave him a thumbs up in his heart upon seeing that Qin Yundi was so serious.

This is your 'simple stuff'? So many guns?

With these 36 guns you have here, you can easily make a sieve out of a Golden Core cultivator!

Although so many guns would compromise one's accuracy, Qin Yundi had used 600 Lightning Explosion Talismans to kill a late-stage Golden Core cultivator. Thus, Shen Tian believed that 36 guns were no problem for him.

With that in mind, Shen Tian started to feel pity for the other true disciples in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground.

What's the use for you guys to train so hard to the Golden Core?

During an actual fight, Qin Yundi could easily beat you with his weapons!

However, Shen Tian was not afraid of Qin Yundi even with his Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Guns. He possessed the Black Tortoise Armor and Black Tortoise Shield. If things got worse, he still had Black Tortoise Helmet.

Shen Tian could just equip all of them without thinking how ugly he would look and tank Qin Yundi's damage. When he got close enough, he would be able to win with his Purple Golden Hammer.

Shen Tian smiled at Qin Yundi and said, "Not bad. I'm very proud that Junior Brother treats the experiential journey so seriously. However, I need to remind you of something."

Qin Yundi's eyes lit up. Is Senior Brother going to teach me something new?

With that, he looked at Shen Tian and asked curiously, "Senior Brother, what's it?"

Shen Tian pointed at the guns at Yundi's back and said, "Junior Brother, move the muzzles away. Never point your guns at your allies. You will regret for life if they fire off accidentally."

Qin Yundi, "???"

"Alright!"

I thought Senior Brother would tell me something fun. But he is right! I'm not familiar with the Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Gun anyway. If the guns really fire off by accident and kill my friends, I would really regret it for life.

If he shot his Senior Brother, he would want to end his own life instead!

"Thank you for pointing it out, Senior Brother. Yundi understands now."

He thought for a moment and said, "I know what is missing from the Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Gun!"

"I need to add a special restriction to the gun so that it can only fire off when the restriction is removed on purpose! This could prevent hurting my allies by accident. Even if the opponent snatches the guns, they will not be able to use them!

"Senior Brother, you are so clever! When I'm still thinking about how to increase the power, you have moved on to the safety of the gun!"

Shen Tian was rendered speechless upon seeing how excited Qin Yundi was with his idea.

Sure, as long as you are happy with it!

He is always afraid that the gun's power is not enough, but it is not necessarily a bad thing. I feel secured with a moving armory as long as he does not trigger any explosions by accident.

After settling with the three people with great providence, it was time for him to move on to the last one.

This person was Zhang Yunxi. She had the brightest halo out of all of them and the most important one in the experiential journey.

Shen Tian believed that whether he could get the fortuitous opportunity all depended on her.

If he got the fortuitous opportunity that was supposed to be Fang Chang's and could not handle the risk along with it, he would just throw everything to Zhang Yunxi.

Given her power, providence, and Shen Tian's assistance, she had no reason not to be able to handle it.

The only problem is that she is too dominant and might not listen to me at all times. Never mind, I should go to the Saintess Mountain and check first!

Then, Shen Tian led Eunuch Gui, Qin Yundi, and Qin Gao to the Saintess Mountain.

Just when they reached the Saintess Mountain, a loud explosion resounded from the mountaintop.

In the next second, a red and gold figure flew out of the mountain and landed a few hundred miles away.

"Wow! Junior Sister is so strong after reaching Golden Core Eight Refinement Stage! Your Mixed Divine Lightning is so powerful. I admit defeat. I'll come back after my ninth refinement!"

Then, the red and gold figure flew away without looking back.

Shen Tian could see Zhang Yunxi standing at the top of the mountain with a badly beaten man beneath her feet.

Zhang Yunxi was about to chase after Fang Chang, but she stopped when she saw Shen Tian.

Swoosh!

A golden light flashed, and Zhang Yunxi appeared in front of Shen Tian and the others in no time.

"Junior Brother Shen Tian, what are you doing here?"

Zhang Yunxi's face was full of hope and excitement.

Seeing how fierce Zhang Yunxi was just now, Shen Tian backed off.

Just as he was about to say, 'Nothing, it's nothing. We are just walking past.', Qin Yundi spoke first.

"Senior Sister! Senior Brother Shen Tian wants to go for an experiential journey, and we are here to invite you!"

Chapter 124: The Fiercer Senior Sister Is, The More Fearful Enemies Are

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After hearing Qin Yundi's words, Zhang Yunxi's eyes instantly lit up.

She nodded and said, "As cultivators, we should go out on adventures frequently and train our Dao Heart.

"Since Junior Brother has broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, it's time to go on an experiential journey and stabilize your cultivation level."

However, Zhang Yunxi was curious about why Shen Tian had brought so many people with him. A team adventure, maybe?

More importantly, forget Eunuch Gui and Qin Gao, who were originally Shen Tian's eunuch attendants. Why did Qin Yundi also tag along? Didn't he hate going out on adventures the most?

Naturally, since they were disciples of the same sect, it was good that Qin Yundi was motivated to improve.

Thinking till here, Zhang Yunxi said, "Junior Brother, when are you prepared to officially make a move?"

Shen Tian thought for a moment. The fortuitous opportunity that he had seen on Fang Chang's head should be recent. However, since the Sacred Leader had punished Fang Chang with copying the sect's rules, he would most probably be unable to go out in the time being.

Nonetheless, things such as fortuitous opportunities were extremely mysterious and difficult to predict. They might happen in an instant, and there were tens of thousands of possibilities for sudden changes.

Thus, Shen Tian decided to head toward the fortuitous opportunity's location as soon as possible to see if he could set up preparations beforehand.

Shen Tian smiled and said, "If it's convenient for Senior Sister, the faster, the better."

After hearing Shen Tian's words, Zhang Yunxi was slightly stunned.

The faster, the better? Junior Brother wants me to go out on an adventure with him. The faster, the better?

At that thought, Zhang Yunxi nodded. "Since Junior Brother is in a hurry, please wait a moment. I'll go change my clothes," said Zhang Yunxi and left so quickly it was like a ray of silver light was shooting toward the Saintess Mountain.

At the same time, a disciple wearing green robes walked down dejectedly, limping with one foot.

His face was already so swollen it could not be recognized. "Tink oou, Sinior Bother, fu halpin me. I'll kapt it in mond."

Shen Tian's face instantly darkened upon hearing what he said. "What did you say?"

Eunuch Gui said helplessly, "What he said should be: Thank you, Senior Brother, for helping me. I'll keep it in mind."

The green-robed disciple nodded excitedly. "I em Hourun Mintein's descipe, Ni YonFang. My fether is Ni Cingho."

Shen Tian looked at Eunuch Gui, and the latter could only repeat, "I am Haoran Mountain's disciple, Li Yunfeng. My father is Li Qinghe."

Shen Tian's mouth twitched.

Senior Sister Yunxi really did not hold back at all when beating people. See how badly this Junior Brother Yunfeng was beaten up? Wait! This person is Li Yunfeng!?

Shen Tian's face blackened. "Junior Brother, you said that you are Li Yunfeng?"

Li Yunfeng's head, which was beaten swollen, nodded furiously. "Itz me, Sinior Bother, itz me."

Shen Tian did not need Eunuch Gui to decipher this sentence as he could understand. "It's me, Senior Brother, it's me."

Things are simple if it's you!

Shen Tian suddenly pointed at the Saintess Mountain. "Junior Brother, look! It's Senior Sister Yunxi!"

Li Yunfeng's body abruptly trembled as he looked toward the Saintess Mountain. "Vhere ish Sinior Sester, vhere?"

Before he could finish, he suddenly felt intense pain on the back of his head, and immediately after, the world in front of him started spinning.

Shen Tian glanced at the unconscious Li Yunfeng and put away his Purple Golden Hammer.

"I've found you at last! Uncle Gui, could I trouble you to go find Shopkeeper Song and ask him for a Forgetting Pill? I have use for it!"

Next is the moment of satisfaction. The air is sure filled with happiness!

After venting it all out on Li Yunfeng, he was fed the Forgetting Pill.

Two hours already passed when Zhang Yunxi finally came down from the Saintess Mountain.

Unexpectedly, she had taken off her White Tiger Clear Light Armor Suit and wore a robe as white as snow. Her hair, which was originally tied up simply behind her, was hanging over her shoulders, waving with the wind, and a faint fragrance pervaded the air.

If Zhang Yunxi previously was like a female war god, then the current her was like a pure white snow lotus—quiet, elegant, dignified, and graceful like a fairy.

Zhang Yunxi slowly walked down from the Saintess Mountain.

Originally, she thought that those men would be amazed by her charm, but her breath-taking face could not help but gradually turn black when she walked in front of them. It was all due to the group of men in front of her.

The two eunuchs had no sense of her beauty at all, while Qin Yundi was pulling Shen Tian's robe and asking him about the Yin-Yang Water Inverse Dao. As for Shen Tian, his head lowered as he was removing the marks of their punches, kicks, and fingerprints from Li Yunfeng's unconscious body.

So the two hours I took to dress up were all for nothing?

The Hariti Rosary Beads on Shen Tian started trembling crazily. "Master! There's so much, there's really a lot! I can feel that resentment is surging out of Sister Yunxi, too much of it!"

A cold shiver ran down Shen Tian's back.

Jiu'er felt resentment again? And it's from Senior Sister Yunxi?

At that thought, Shen Tian hurriedly lifted his head to look at Zhang Yunxi.

One had to say that Zhang Yunxi's new appearance was indeed beautiful. She was originally gorgeous, and coupled with her cold and holy aura it was like a goddess had descended. In addition, after taking off her White Tiger Clear Light Armor Suit, Zhang Yunxi did not seem that domineering. Instead, she became more elegant.

Zhang Yunxi's appearance was indeed top-notch, and it could almost be compared to Shen Tian's.

In front of Zhang Yunxi, Shen Tian instantly revealed his high EQ. "Senior Sister, you've dressed up?"

Zhang Yunxi smiled slightly. "I just casually dressed up a little. Who would have thought that Junior Brother actually noticed."

The rosary beads Shen Tian stopped trembling. "It's gone. There's not a bit of resentment anymore."

Shen Tian heaved a sigh of relief. "However, Senior Sister, we are going on an experiential journey. Why have you dressed up like this?"

There were two reasons why Shen Tian was willing to go on an experiential journey with Zhang Yunxi. Firstly, he could ride on the coattail of her luck. Secondly, she wore battle armor every day and had the fierce vibe of 'stay away from me'.

He would not need to worry about anyone coming to find trouble for coveting her beauty if he brought her out. Now that Zhang Yunxi had dressed up like this, her charm had instantly increased through the roof.

If Shen Tian were to bring her out together on the experiential journey, wouldn't she crazily attract unwanted attention?

Suppose senior brothers from grotto-heavens, and the geniuses of sacred grounds saw her, how troublesome would it be if they all came one by one?

Zhang Yunxi did not know what Shen Tian was thinking, so she asked in doubt, "Is there anything wrong with me dressing up like this?"

Shen Tian replied helplessly, "Senior Sister, you're too pretty now. We'll most likely encounter countless troublesome situations if we go out on an adventure like this."

Junior Brother complimented me that I'm too pretty?

Zhang Yunxi's face turned red, and she completely ignored the key point in the second half of the sentence.

She coughed lightly and said, "Then, Junior Brother, do you think I'm prettier now or before?"

Shen Tian wiped off his sweat.

Can't girls be more rational? Is appearance that important in the cultivation world? I thought that Senior Sister was a woman who could ignore my appearance... Who would have thought she would be exactly the same as other women!?

Can't you, women, be more rational? It's not my fault for being so handsome!

Sigh... It's all for my safety!

Shen Tian decided to speak in a perfunctory manner, so after thinking for a moment, he asked, "Senior Sister, do you want to hear the truth?"

Zhang Yunxi nodded seriously. "Yes, Junior Brother. Please, speak bluntly."

Shen Tian replied, "I prefer Senior Sister wearing armor. You look valiant and heroic in it."

However, these were the words Shen Tian did not say—"Valiant, heroic, and fierce. The fiercer, the better!"

The fiercer Senior Sister is, the more fearful enemies are. If we can prevent fighting, it's best not to fight!

Chapter 125: Every Dog Will Have Its Day

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Junior Brother says that he likes the original me better? That's great! I also think that dressing up like this is not comfortable at all!

Zhang Yunxi nodded. "Junior Brother, please wait for a moment as I go and change."

After finishing, Zhang Yunxi dashed toward the Saintess Mountain and disappeared from everyone's vision.

Shen Tian could not help but sigh.

Let's wait!

However, Zhang Yunxi changed clothes much faster this time.

After a short while, she had changed back to her original White Tiger Clear Light Armor Suit and appeared. Her long flowing hair was tied into a simple ponytail, and her white armor and cloak were shining under the sun.

Zhang Yunxi's face was filled with a bright smile. "Junior Brother, where are we going to play this time?"

Shen Tian replied helplessly, "Senior Sister, we're going out on an experiential journey to train, not play."

He recalled the scene of the fortuitous opportunity, which he had seen above Fang Chang's head.

The place that appeared, in the beginning, was a city in Eastern Wilderness. That city was known as Fog City, and it was the capital where the Hidden Fog Country's royalty resided. It was a great bustling city.

As the previous owner of Shen Tian's body, the 13th Prince would read widely, so he had been knowledgeable about the different countries' situations in Eastern Wilderness.

The Hidden Fog Country was even older than the Country of Fire, and it was quite a powerful force in the Eastern Wilderness too.

Given Hidden Fog Country's thousands of years of history, its royalty had more than 10 Nascent Soul Supremacies in their midst, so it could be said that its strength was formidable.

Amongst all the countries under the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, the Hidden Fog Country could be counted as one of the stronger ones.

Meanwhile, Fog City was definitely the Hidden Fog Country's core capital as numerous fortuitous opportunities laid near the city.

According to ancient book records, a Fog Plain was located five kilometers east of Fog City. The plain was boundless and completely covered by thick Qi fog all year round. If cultivators were to enter the mist, their Spiritual Power and Spiritual Sense would be sealed away.

However, if one relied only on using their sense of sight to discern the directions, then most likely before even walking 100 meters, they would be completely lost.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, the Fog Plain was an absolute forbidden area in the Hidden Fog Country, and even Nascent Soul Supremacies didn't dare to barge in.

Nevertheless, a rare "Fog Tide Period" would happen every 20 years, and the fog would undergo a change—the area of fog would increase and decrease in radius like the tide.

At high tide, the area covered by the fog would even reach Fog City's gates, while when at low tide, many originally sealed areas would also be revealed. The revealed areas had many extremely rare and exotic herbs that cultivators could use to create superior-grade pills.

If one's luck was good enough, they could even find the precious spirit herb—Divine Binding Vine.

The so-called Divine Binding Vine was an extremely precious aiding spirit herb that was not used for creating pills. It was extremely tough and was one of the main materials to create the supreme-grade Dharma artifact—Divine Binding Rope.

If one could obtain a 3rd Stage Divine Binding Vine and refine it into a Divine Binding Rope, then it could even trap Perfected Ones.

If one could find a 4th Stage Divine Binding Vine and refine it into a Divine Binding Rope, then even a Supremacy could be bound.

When battling with enemies, if one could have a Divine Binding Rope as support, it would be a huge help.

When powerful beings of the same stage fought to the death, a single instant could decide one's life or death. Thus, being bound would be equal to directly losing.

From what Shen Tian knew, the Fog Tide Period was near. That was because, in the scene of the fortuitous opportunity that he had seen, Fang Chang had been at a vast plain. Meanwhile, there had been no Spirit Fog near him at all, and the scenery was extremely clear.

Thinking till here, Shen Tian said, "I heard that the Fog Tide Period is near. By then, many cultivators would go to the Fog City to join in the fun, so how about we go there to take a look too?"

Fog City?

Zhang Yunxi seemed to be deep in thought. She did know of that place, as her brother, Zhang Yunting, had also been to that place when he had been in the Foundation Establishment stage and had reaped quite the amount of benefits.

At that time, Zhang Yunting, who had just entered the Foundation Establishment stage, had found a peak 3rd Stage Divine Binding Vine in the Fog Plain.

After using the special secluded treasure that his father, the Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader, had given him to cut off the Divine Binding Vine, Zhang Yunting had created a supreme-grade Divine Binding Rope.

When the Divine Binding Rope's power was activated to the maximum, it could even bind Golden Core Sixth Refinement Stage cultivators tightly. It was relatively difficult to deal with.

Relying on that Divine Binding Rope, Zhang Yunting had spread his name amongst the Eastern Wilderness' younger generation.

Many geniuses from grotto-heavens and sacred grounds expressed their disgust from fighting with him. He, a man, did not fight face to face during battle but only knew how to dodge and roam about. Once he found the opportunity, he would unleash the Divine Binding Rope to bind his opponent, and the fate that awaited them was one of being controlled until the end.

There was a dragon, a tiger, and a qilin in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground. The Mighty Qilin was generally acknowledged as the strongest, the White Tiger the most reckless, and the Azure Dragon the most annoying.

Due to Zhang Yunxi's battle style, she did not like using the Divine Binding Rope, a support Dharma treasure that controlled the opponent. However, since Shen Tian wanted it, Zhang Yunxi thought that she might as well keep him company.

After they made their final preparations and ensured that nothing was amiss, they set off.

Luckily, the Hidden Fog Country was not far from the Divine Firmament Small World, only 1,500 kilometers away.

As everyone used Sword Kinesis Flight, they arrived at the Hidden Fog Country capital city, Fog City, from the Divine Firmament Small World within a day.

This was the first time Shen Tian was slightly afraid of heights from using Sword Kinesis Flight. He did not dare to adjust the speed to the fastest, or else their speed would be much faster than now.

After seeing that the huge Fog City was right in front of them, everyone put away their swords. The cultivation world's cities had flying-restriction array formations to prevent flying monsters from attacking. Thus, if they flew into the city directly, they would most likely be mistakenly attacked by the flying-restriction array formation.

Of course, they might have built array formations to... prevent people from flying into the city secretly without paying the fees.

One had to know that Fog City's entrance fees would directly increase by more than 10 times during every Fog Tide Period. Just relying solely on the income of the entrance fees during the Fog Tide Period, the Hidden Fog Country's whole GDP1 would increase greatly.

Shen Tian and the others had come here to train, so they did not expose their identities to keep a low profile.

After paying the entrance fees, everyone smoothly and peacefully entered Fog City.

What was worth mentioning was that a few girls at the city doors saw Shen Tian and wanted to approach him to strike a conversation. As a result, Zhang Yunxi only looked at them slightly, and her aura had surged toward them, instantly dominating their spirits.

At that moment, Shen Tian felt even more confident that bringing Senior Sister Yunxi along was a wise decision.

Being pestered by one Senior Sister was much better than being surrounded by a group of girls!

After using Sword Kinesis Flight for a whole day, everyone also felt tired. Thus, they followed Zhang Yunxi's suggestion and decided to stay in the Lunar Rainbow Inn to rest.

The Lunar Rainbow Inn was the largest inn in Fog City, and Divine Firmament Sacred Ground was its biggest shareholder.

Thus, no matter how close it was to the Fog Tide Period or how crowded Fog City was, as long as Zhang Yunxi contacted the person in charge of the Lunar Rainbow Inn, they would be able to directly check-in.

To that, Shen Tian could not help but inwardly exclaim. How amazing it is to have a background!

When everyone stood before the Lunar Rainbow Inn—other than Zhang Yunxi, of course—they secretly marveled at it.

The whole inn was built with an extremely expensive Cloud-Pattern Incense Wood, and the ornamentations were very much exquisite. Dragons, as well as a mysterious Qi Gathering Array, were carved on the top of the inn, and Spirit Qi gathered as though it was a whirlpool. Spirit Spring Waters gushed out of the back of the inn, and the water reflected a rainbow under the sun's shine—the scene was breathtaking.

Just as everyone was ready to enter the inn, they saw the Lunar Rainbow Inn's doors open and a drunk young man being thrown out. His face was haggard, his hair was in a mess, and his entire body was giving off a rich wine smell.

"Bastards, you bastards! Who knows how many tips I've given all of you before! Now, just because I'm unable to cultivate, you're not willing to let me buy one liter of Drunken Divine Wine on credit?

"Darn it! Fortune was in the east of the bank 30 years ago but turns to the west when 30 years have passed1. You'll regret it one day!"

Just as that man finished speaking, a disdainful chuckle echoed from the inn.

"Fortune was in the east of the bank 30 years ago, but turns to the west when 30 years have passed? You must be kidding me! I need to wait for 60 years before you can give me the money for one liter of wine?"

Chapter 126: Brother Zhao, Have You Heard Of Chicken Soup For The Soul?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

That young man seemed to be quite famous in Fog City.

After he was thrown out of the Lunar Rainbow Inn, he quickly attracted the passersby's attention.

"Isn't that Zhao Hao? He came to the Lunar Rainbow Inn again. Does he want to drink wine for free again?"

"Who else is there beside him? Sigh... He was also a high-spirited and talented young man in the past, it's such a pity."

"It can't be helped. The road of cultivation is like this. Even a previous genius could turn useless. He should blame his unluckiness."

"The current Zhao Hao looks too tragic! Is he really the Sky-Incinerating Marquis' son and the prospective emperor's son-in-law?"

"Don't mention it anymore. If Sky-Incinerating Marquis had not gone missing in the Primordial Battlefield, Zhao Hao might not have suffered a Qi Deviation, resulting in him losing his cultivation."

"There's no if in the world! The fact is that he's a useless man now. Even his marriage was broken off."

"I heard that the Zhao Family's properties were taken away by the other relatives in the clan, not even leaving a bit for him."

"Haha, He must have done evil things when his Zhao Family was still glorious, then he faced his retribution!"

Passersby were always indifferent and apathetic, and they talked about others' joys and sorrows as a form of amusement during or after meals.

Those passersby at the side of the road were currently pointing and discussing about the drunk Zhao Hao, but no one offered to help him.

Shen Tian sighed and walked toward Zhao Hao slowly. He stretched out his hand to help him up. "Brother, don't lie on the ground."

Zhao Hao opened his drowsy and drunkard eyes to look at Shen Tian. "Hey, such-such a pretty gal."

Shen Tian, "???"

Shen Tian swore that if it were not for this fellow being so drunk he might go unconscious anytime, he would have definitely pummeled him with his Purple Golden Hammer!

Alright!

Actually, the main reason was that the providence this sloppy guy was blessed with was quite frightening. His parents had died, he had lost all his cultivation, his properties had been snatched, and his marriage with the princess had been tragically broken off. This was definitely the start of a loser MC that would take his revenge and rise up in the future!

Meanwhile, Shen Tian looked toward the top of that fellow's head—his providence halo was indeed out of the ordinary. The providence halo on his head was extremely peculiar, half-black, and half-gold.

In addition, Shen Tian clearly saw that the golden color was slowly covering the black halo on the top of the fellow's head.

Shen Tian did not know what this kind of halo represented, but according to his guess, it should mean that out of the depth of misfortune came bliss.

It was the first time Shen Tian had seen such a halo, and its research value was extremely important to him. Thus, Shen Tian would treat this miserable fellow to all the wine he wanted to drink!

Shen Tian smiled and said, "Brother, how about I treat you to a drink?"

A drink!?

Zhao Hao grinned upon hearing that Shen Tian was willing to treat him to a drink. "Thank-thank you for the Fairy's generosity!"

Shen Tian, "???"

Zhang Yunxi, who was standing at the side, could not stand watching and walked in front of Zhao Hao with a majestic gait. "Hey, you're going too far!"

Zhao Hao took a look at Zhang Yunxi, then waved his hand and said, "Brother, don't misunderstand. I'm not flirting with your partner. It's this Fairy who says that she will treat me to drink wine. How about I punish myself to drinking three cups later?"

Burp~

After finishing, Zhao Hao burped with his eyes squinted, and a rich scent of wine pervaded the air.

Shen Tian saw Zhang Yunxi grind her teeth, so he had no other choice but to pull Zhao Hao toward the Lunar Rainbow Inn. He had to bring Zhao Hao away. Otherwise, if he stayed with Zhang Yunxi a little longer and called her "brother" again, what if she flipped out on him?

These two people, one was a super-powerful BOSS with a golden halo while the other was a prospective MC with a half-black, half-gold halo. They were both people blessed by providence. If they fought, no matter what the result was, there would be no benefits for Shen Tian at all.

Zhao Hao had lost his cultivation, so he was unable to resist even if Shen Tian pulled him. "Fairy, please conduct yourself. Although my-my marriage has been broken off, I'm not a frivolous man."

Shen Tian resisted the urge to use his First Essence Heavy Water to spray that fellow's face and pulled him into the inn.

As for the inn manager, how would he dare to stop him after Shen Tian had secretly shown his Saint Token? He immediately arranged the best private room on Lunar Rainbow Inn's top floor, where one could see almost half of Fog City.

After making Zhao Hao chug down a foot basin amount of hangover tea, that fellow finally recovered just a little tiny bit of consciousness.

Of course, it was just a little tiny bit only. At least, he still called Zhang Yunxi "brother".

After drinking a cup of Drunken Divine Wine, Zhao Hao said, "Fairy, I'm so moved! Ever since I lost my cultivation, you're the first lady to treat me to wine."

Shen Tian said helplessly, "I am a man.

Zhao Hao squinted his eyes and looked at Shen Tian for a while.

Then, he waved his hand with a smile and said, "Fairy, you must be joking. How can you be a man? It's impossible for there to be such a good-looking man in this world!"

As he spoke, Zhao Hao's eyes turned red. "Fairy, don't worry. When I succeed in the future, I'll definitely return all the money spent on wine today to you, not missing even a cent. That's right, may I know Fairy's name?"

Shen Tian's mouth twitched, and he asked the manager to bring another foot basin amount of hangover tea.

After chugging it all down again, it was obvious that Zhao Hao's stomach had bulged out.

All of a sudden, Shen Tian abruptly slapped Zhao Hao's stomach. Instantly, Zhao Hao's facial expression changed, and he ran to the side, bending his back.

Barf~

After vomiting his guts out and almost fainting, Zhao Hao finally recovered a part of his consciousness. He looked at Shen Tian's exquisite appearance, and after confirming that he was indeed a man, he wanted to continue drinking even more.

There's actually such a handsome man in this world, it makes no sense!

Shen Tian said helplessly, "Brother Zhao, maybe there are too many things that will go wrong in this world, but even though there are ups and downs in life, life still continues. You really shouldn't give up!"

Zhao Hao shook his head. "No, brother, you will never understand my bitterness."

Shen Tian said calmly, "You want to compare who's more miserable? Zhao Hao, I have never lost in it before."

Zhao Hao scoffed at himself. "I know you want to comfort me, so I thank you for your goodwill. But I am already a useless man that cannot cultivate."

Shen Tian said calmly. "You've just suffered Qi Deviation once and lost all your cultivation, while I had been suffering Qi Deviations since young."

Zhao Hao was stunned. "Brother, are you serious? How is it possible that one would keep on suffering Qi Deviations?"

Shen Tian nodded. "Truthfully speaking, I am Shen Tian, the Country of Fire's 13th Prince."

Zhao Hao took in a sharp breath. "You're that legendary ultimate unlucky fella in the rumors?"

Shen Tian's mouth twitched. "Why, you've heard of my name?"

Zhao Hao replied, "Yes, my father has been to the Country of Fire's palace once and heard of your name. As compared to you, I really am not counted as miserable."

Upon recalling all the matters that his father had mentioned about Shen Tian, Zhao Hao suddenly felt much better. He was moved and continued, "Brother Shen, just how did you last through so many years of such miserable life? I only now know how amazing you are. I-I think my life is too difficult now!"

Shen Tian shook his head. "I understand, I understand it all. I will help you." Then, Shen Tian turned to order the manager at the side. "Arrange for the kitchen to cook a pot of chicken soup."

Zhao Hao was puzzled. "Why, can chicken soup help me?"

Shen Tian nodded mysteriously. "Brother Zhao, have you heard of chicken soup for the soul before?"

Chapter 127: Our Shop's Specialty, Shrimp Pig Heart

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The chicken soup's fragrant scent pervaded the private room, filling up the room with motivative positive energy.

After drinking a bowl of chicken soup, Shen Tian felt that his exhaustion was relieved by quite a bit.

The manager at the side asked, "Young Master Shen, what do you think of the taste of our shop's Fire Spirit Chicken Soup?"

Fire Spirit Chicken's attribute was fire. If cooked together with herbs such as Danshen and Lingzhi, it was extremely nourishing and invigorating to one's Yang.

Shen Tian smiled and said, "Not bad. But it's not filling, just drinking the chicken soup. Please, go and prepare a few more dishes!"

The manager hurriedly nodded and ordered the kitchen to cook dishes.

Zhao Hao looked at Shen Tian, who was drinking the chicken soup happily and gulped down his saliva. "Brother Shen, isn't this chicken soup for me?"

Shen Tian shook his head with a smile. "Brother Shen, you've misunderstood. This is Fire Spirit Chicken Soup. What you need is chicken soup for the soul."

Shen Tian put down the bowl of chicken soup and suddenly looked at Zhao Hao with a burning gaze. "Brother Zhao! As a person who has experienced it before, I have some words for you. Hopefully, they'll benefit you."

Seeing Shen Tian's solemn face, Zhao Hao became serious. "I'm all ears."

Shen Tian stretched out his right index finger. "Firstly, failure is not fearsome. What's fearsome is you being defeated by failure."

Shen Tian's burning gaze made Zhao Hao recall the things that his father had told him about Shen Tian.

Since young, he was ill-fated and destined to be alone as he brought misfortune to those around him. He had even been suffering Qi Deviation daily, almost becoming a regular customer at the imperial hospital.

However, Shen Tian did not give up cultivating. Thus, in comparison, my one-time Qi Deviation is nothing!

Shen Tian stretched out his right middle finger. "Secondly, you haven't tried your best! How do you know you can't change your fate?"

Change my fate!

Zhao Hao's whole body trembled slightly.

That's right!

My dantian is only damaged. It's not like I died. If my cultivation was lost due to my damaged dantian, I just have to find ways to restore my dantian and cultivate again.

If there's really no way, then I'll think of methods to follow the Godfiend Body Tempering path. I'll do my best to become stronger.

Brother Shen was that miserable, but he still strives to change his fate! What reason do I have to not try my best?

Shen Tian gradually stretched out his right ring finger. "Thirdly, now you've been humiliated as your upcoming marriage with the princess was broken off! In the future, you'll rise up and take your revenge!"

Boom!

Humiliated as my upcoming marriage with the princess was broken off! In the future, I'll rise up and take my revenge!

Such a sentence was like a bolt of lightning that pierced through the clouds within Zhao Hao's heart. He also did not know why, but even though that sentence sounded so chuunibyou and embarrassing, he felt that his blood was boiling from excitement. It was as if that sentence was tailor-made for him—the battle song for him to fight against his fate and become a new him!

At that moment, when Zhao Hao looked at Shen Tian, he only felt that he was extremely close with the brother in front of him. It was as if Shen Tian was his lifelong bosom friend.

High mountain and flowing water, Boya and Ziqi1—they were just like those two!

He looked at Shen Tian with seemingly shining eyes, his gaze hot and earnest. "I agree! Everything Brother Shen says makes so much sense!"

Zhang Yunxi looked at Zhao Hao coldly, her eyes really shining, with lightning. She felt that she was being ignored.

Zhao Hao did not sense the dangerous aura in the air as he looked at Shen Tian with a burning gaze.

"Brother Shen, I seem to hit it off with you very well. Would Brother Shen be willing to become sworn brothers with me?"

Cough, cough!

Shen Tian nearly spat out a mouthful of chicken soup onto Zhao Hao's face. "Become sworn brothers?"

Are you kidding me? The halo on your head is extremely weird, looking very messy as it's half-black and half-gold. Who knows what that represents? It might mean, "Out of the depth of misfortune comes bliss", or it might be that you will bring misfortune to those around you, causing their deaths?

For story plots such as MCs that had their engagement called off in the beginning, basically, their route to growing stronger would be filled with fighting. It's simply too dangerous!

Zhao Hao's father, the Sky-Incinerating Marquis, has gone missing in the Primordial Battlefield. Who knows if Zhao Hao will bring misfortune to his sworn brother, too?

Shen Tian secretly decided that they could become friends but definitely not sworn brothers!

Zhao Hao had already witnessed human nature's fickleness in this period of time, so when he saw Shen Tian's expression, he was already aware. He scoffed at himself before saying, "Brother Shen, don't mind me. It is I that did not think things through before asking. Given my current situation, I'm not worthy of becoming sworn brothers with you."

Sss!

Shen Tian could not help but take in a sharp breath.

This... Isn't this the plot where the MC is looked down upon by others?

According to the normal plot, if the MC is looked down upon and ridiculed, then there will definitely be a plot reversal in the future.

F*ck! It can't be that Zhao Hao will bear patiently, then prepare to take revenge on me because of this, right!?

At that thought, Shen Tian suddenly had an idea. He sneered and said, "If you really have such thoughts, then you are indeed unworthy."

Shen Tian held his head high with his chest out and walked to the window coldly, looking down at Fog City. "I'm so disappointed in you!"

Within his cold voice was a great aspiration that could swallow the heavens. "My brother must have the ambitions to overcome all adversities and rise up. As the saying goes, 'A genius will never be mediocre. Once an opportunity arises, they will rise up and succeed.'. If even you look down on yourself, how do you let others think highly of you?

"Brother Zhao, a real genius has no need to care about how others see them, not to mention worry about what others are thinking.

"Even if everyone in the world ridicules or mocks me, my heart is steeled and is impenetrable!

"Always be determined and passionate, then you will definitely leave them slack-jawed!"

Shen Tian's words made Zhao Hao's gaze turn hotter and hotter.

"Brother Shen is right! I am ashamed of myself!"

"Brother Shen's heart is like steel, the body is like fire, having undergone so many adversities. However, I'm this weak! I'm really too childish!

"Hearing Brother Shen's words is better than cultivating for 100 years. Brother Shen's earnest advice, I will definitely keep your words in mind and dare not forget!"

Shen Tian smiled and waved his hand. "There's no need for that, Brother Zhao. In fact, the problem of you losing your cultivation is not difficult to solve."

At that moment, Zhao Hao's entire body suddenly trembled. "Brother Shen, what do you mean?"

Shen Tian smiled and said, "Frankly speaking, I've cultivated the art of divination. From Brother Zhao's facial features, it means that out of the depth of misfortune comes bliss. Your chance to change your fate and rise up is most likely right in front of you."

Zhao Hao was dumbstruck. "If what Brother Shen said is true, may I know how to change my fate?"

"The cat mustn't be let out of the bag. There's no need for Brother Zhao to hurry. Come and drink the chicken soup first!" said Shen Tian as he gave a bowl of chicken soup to Zhao Hao with a smile.

Zhao Hao said excitedly, "If Brother Shen really knows, I earnestly request for you to tell me!! I've lost all my cultivation, and people despise me. I don't want to continue like this anymore, not even one day!

"I want to restore my cultivation and take back everything that belongs to my family! I want to grow even stronger to go to the Primordial Battlefield and find my esteemed father!

"That's right! And that princess! It's obvious she dislikes me now that I have lost my cultivation, but she still finds excuses. She said that when she went to the Country of Fire, she saw a handsome man unmatched in his looks. Thus, she was unable to love anyone else."

"She even said that it was not important that I was unable to cultivate, but as compared to that person, I was just too ugly!

"It's a disgrace! It's simply an abyss of disgrace! Not only was the engagement called off, but she also humiliated me like that! I really cannot endure such a humiliation!"

Before Zhao Hao finished speaking, the expression of the others in the private room turned extremely strange.

Zhang Yunxi's face twitched slightly as if she was holding back her laughter. She looked at Zhao Hao and asked, "You are sure that she met that man in the Country of Fire?"

Zhao Hao sneered and said, "She said that she met that handsome man in the Myriad Spirit Garden of the Country of Fire. He's called something like the Myriad Spirit Garden Shen Aotian.

"What a coincidence! Brother Shen, that guy's name is quite similar to yours, and he seemed to be proficient in divinity..."

Wait, WTF!?

Zhao Hao was stunned, and he turned to look at Shen Tian's face.

At that moment, Zhao Hao had a frightening and absurd guess.

At the same time, the door of the private room was pushed open, and the manager walked in, holding a plate of fragrant-smelling dishes.

"Young Master Shen, Fairy Zhang, sorry for the long wait. This is our shop's specialty, Shrimp Pig Heart1!

"Please try it!"

Chapter 128: A Poem Made In Seven Steps, Zhao Hao

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

"Cough, cough! Manager, the taster of your inn's Shrimp Pig Heart is quite good."

Shen Tian picked up a shrimp using his chopsticks and looked to the side, away from Zhao Hao as he felt guilty.

Who the heck knows who that princess in Zhao Hao's mouth is! Many girls were pestering me in the Myriad Spirit Garden back then.

If I had known that I was one of the reasons his engagement was called off, I shouldn't have fed him with that much positivity just now.

What if he really rises up and succeeds in the future? Won't he hold a grudge against me and come find trouble for me, even disfiguring me!?

At that thought, Shen Tian could not help but have a headache—just why did he always become the scapegoat for such weird things?

Zhao Hao looked at Shen Tian with resentment. "Brother Shen, do you know that Shen Aotian?"

Shen Tian shook his head. "What Shen Aotian? I have not heard of him before!"

Zhao Hao replied reluctantly, "I know that Brother Shen is giving me face. You don't want to crush my self-confidence.

"I thank you for your kind intentions, but if Brother Shen was really that handsome man in Princess Xue Wuxia's mouth, then I am convinced.

"Not only is Brother Shen's appearance much more handsome than mine, but you also have a firm will that has overcome various adversities. If I were Princess Xue Wuxia, then I wouldn't be able to settle for others after meeting Brother Shen either."

Zhao Hao's attitude dumbfounded Shen Tian.

This fellow is actually this rational!?

Logically speaking, being such a kind of MC with an eight-year-old syndrome, shouldn't Zhao Hao be incredibly stubborn and unable to reason with?

How come when he learned that his engagement was broken because my appearance dominates his, he actually did not see me as his mortal enemy?

Brother Zhao, being so calm is not your persona!

The doubtful Shen Tian asked, "Brother Zhao, are you really not angry?"

Zhao Hao took a deep breath and said calmly, "It's just the words of a girl. I originally did not feel anything about the arranged marriage. I was just angry because they humiliated me by breaking off the engagement with me. As Brother Shen says, a talented genius should have lofty aspirations and a broad mind. I am not a petty person."

Although Zhao Hao still seemed haggard, his eyes were exceptionally clear and bright.

Thus, Shen Tian felt relieved. He patted Zhao Hao's shoulders and gave him a bowl of Shrimp Pig Heart. "Brother Zhao has grown. Since that's the case, I'll be frank too. That's right. I am Shen Aotian."

Zhao Hao stared at Shen Tian, and his clear eyes gradually became resentful. "So it was really you?"

Shen Tian replied helplessly, "Didn't you say you wouldn't be angry? Brother Zhao, if you're like this, you're not counted as a true man."

If I'm like this, I'm not counted as a true man?

Zhao Hao was stunned, while his eyes turned red and tears were building up in them.

F*ck! Brother Shen, you've let me experience such humiliation, being scolded ugly by the princess while pointing her finger at me! Now you say that I'm not a true man? That's too much!

What upset Zhao Hao, even more, was realizing that if he really did get angry, then he would really not be a true man.

Sigh... I feel wronged! But I'm not going to say that!

Zhao Hao lowered his head and ate the Shrimp Pig Heart, one bite after the other.

Zhang Yunxi, who was standing at the side, had formed a lightning mask on her face, so her expression was hidden. However, one could see from her moving shoulders that she was definitely trying hard to suppress her laughter.

At that moment, Zhao Hao felt even more upset. "Brother Shen, I heard that you were proficient in searching and assessing ores?"

Shen Tian nodded. "Truthfully speaking, I have obtained the heritage of Supremacy Feyte and learned the Feyte Dao Sutra from him. Searching and assessing ores is but one small part of it. What I'm best in are actually physiognomy and divination." As he spoke, Shen Tian stared straight at Zhao Hao's forehead. "Brother Zhao, don't worry. The hardships you're experiencing now are not a bad thing."

Zhao Hao was astounded. "Brother Shen, please advise me. Is it possible that the hardships I'm experiencing are actually good?"

Shen Tian nodded. "When the heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a great man, it always first frustrates his spirit and will, exhausts his muscles and bones, exposes him to starvation and poverty, and both parents must die—"

Zhao Hao exclaimed, "What!?"

Shen Tian's mouth twitched as he accidentally said what he was thinking.

He hurriedly explained, "The cat mustn't be let out of the bag. There seems to be some power stopping me. This is a kind of warning!

"One would not completely hit rock bottom, and words cannot be all spoken... The time is not right, so I dare not lie. Or else, there might be great misfortune!"

Zhao Hao seemed to be deep in thought when he saw how serious Shen Tian was. "What Brother Shen says indeed makes sense."

Other than the "both parents must die" nonsensical part, the first half of the sentence was quite reasonable. Since ancient times, all the cultivators who had succeeded in Immortal Ascension had all been through great adversities and had tenacious wills.

Zhao Hao had also evidently felt that after experiencing the joys and sorrows of the mortal world, as well as the fickleness of human nature in this period of time, his Dao Heart had changed qualitatively. Coupled with Shen Tian's encouraging words previously, Zhao Hao was even more determined to his Dao in the future. It was a kind of growth.

In reality, the improvement in one's Dao Heart was even more important than strengthening one's body. Spirit Stones could not replace it.

In order to increase one's cultivation levels to the Nascent Soul and Soul Formation stages, respectively after the Golden Core stage, one had to rely on their Dao Heart.

As Brother Shen said just now, heaven is about to place a great responsibility on me. Thus, all the hardships I've experienced now are all heaven's test!

Zhao Hao could feel his blood boiling from excitement.

So, I'm a person favored by the heavens!?

Shen Tian finally heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing that Zhao Hao was quite easy to deceive.

"Alright then! Since I could meet Brother Zhao here, it must be that we are fated. If Brother Zhao does not mind, we could travel together these few days. When the time is right, I could help Brother Zhao to rise back to glory!"

When Zhao Hao heard that, his eyes brimmed with tears.

"Brother Shen, I'm so touched! I definitely have to recite a poem in such a situation. Please, allow me to take seven steps first. That's it!"

"Misfortune dropped from heaven, the princess breaks off the engagement. Thank goodness there's Brother Shen, helping me to change my destiny for a second chance!

"I've spoken enough." Zhao Hao picked up the jug of Divine Drunken Wine. "I'll become drunk for the last time today, leaving all my bitterness in the wine!"

After finishing, Zhao Hao stepped onto the stool with his left leg and poured the jug of Drunken Divine Wine that was as big as one's head into his mouth.

That posture and aura!

Shen Tian's heart skipped a beat.

It can't be he is a transmigrator dude from the northeast of China!?

However, no matter what, this half-black and half-gold guinea-pig halo has stabilized. I will let him be first.

A fortuitous opportunity has yet to appear on Zhao Hao's halo. Nonetheless, it does not matter as it was just a problem of sooner or later. As long as I bring Zhao Hao by my side and his fortuitous opportunity appears in the future, there will be no lack of chances for me to freeload it.

After drinking the whole wine jug, Zhao Hao grinned. His face had turned completely red again. "Hey, such a beautiful gal~"

That's right, he became a drunkard again, unable to differentiate genders after getting drunk. He kept on staring at Shen Tian and calling him 'Fairy'.

Duang~

A wine jug directly struck the back of Zhao Hao's head—that was the first time Shen Tian used a jug to hit someone!

Honestly speaking, the feeling of hitting him with the jug was awesome!

Most importantly, Zhao Hao was so drunk he could not differentiate a man from a woman. Thus, Shen Tian did not even need to feed him the Forgetting Pill.

Shen Tian gradually understood Shopkeeper Song's joy.

Willful, carefree, and awesome!

Chapter 129: Ding, Your Grandpa Master Has Died

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Fog Plain was enshrouded in special spirit fog all year round, and thus it was extremely mysterious.

Vertically, this plain was thousands of kilometers long and was covered by a special kind of Divinity. All Spiritual Power would become sealed if one went near the Fog Plain, and even the use of Sword Kinesis Flight would be affected.

Originally, cultivators who could travel thousands of kilometers in a day with the Sword Kinesis Flight could only land onto the ground in there.

Currently, the Fog Tide Period, which occurred once every 20 years, had started, so many cultivators were gathered at the Fog Plain.

When Shen Tian and the others arrived at the Fog Plain, they could see a bustling small town.

That's right! It was really quite simple for cultivators to build a small town; just a few Dharma spells of water, wood, and earth would be sufficient.

Shen Tian even saw with his own eyes some cultivators, who were building, use wood Dharma techniques to create a whole four-room apartment.

During the Fog Tide Period, the spirit dog would disperse during the day and return during the night. Thus, this town would only be activated during the day.

When the first rays of sunlight in the early morning just shone onto Fog Town, many peddlers and cultivators had already hawked their goods for sale.

"Come, come, don't miss out on this chance! The best healing medicine! It can not only revive the dead and grow meat from bone but also nourish Yin and strengthen Yang."

"Fog herbs gathered in the Fog Plain! Top-grade second-stage spirit herb. There's a discount now. Buy two for the price of one until all are sold!"

"Fog Plain's specialty, Sexual Spirit Chrysanthemum! Grind it into juice after buying it. It can improve the sexual intercourse of you and your Dao companion. It's good for you and your significant other!"

"Young man, do you want this Divine Binding Vine? I have the seed of the Divine Binding Vine and seeing how you're fated with me, I'll give you a 20% discount. How does it sound?"

When Shen Tian and the others entered Fog Town, they instantly attracted the attention of a huge group of people. Due to Zhang Yunxi's and Shen Tian's appearance, they were the focus of attention no matter where they went.

However, after Zhang Yunxi emitted her explosively fierce White Tiger aura, those people instantly cowered away.

Zhao Hao tried to persuade them. "Brother Shen, are you really going to enter the Fog Plain? I heard that it's very abnormal and bizarre inside."

Shen Tian smiled and said, "Oh, Brother Zhao, are you knowledgeable about the Fog Plain?"

Zhao Hao nodded.

"I had a friend that accidentally barged into the Fog Plain, and as a result, he saw a gorgeous beauty inside.

"That gorgeous beauty used an illusion spell to seduce my friend. My friend nearly succumbed to the temptation, so he hurriedly turned around and wanted to leave. However, just when he was about to leave, that gorgeous beauty turned into an extremely thick vine.

"That huge vine entangled my friend and wanted to stab into my friend's mouth crazily. If it were not for a peerless expert with a full beard that helped my friend, he might have died already."

Shen Tian looked at Zhao Hao in suspicion. He doubted that this fellow had made up that friend out of nothing!

Are you sure you went to the Fog Plain? I bet you went to the Lanruo Temple1!

Shen Tian asked, "Since your friend had encountered dangers in the Fog Plain, why not make it known to the public?"

Zhao Hao replied helplessly, "What's the use of making it known to the public? Most cultivators are out for experiential journeys, so there's no reason not to take a risk!

"At least, from the Fog Tide Period's situation in these few thousands of years, the people who had entered the Fog Plain to train had obtained quite the benefits.

"Everyone can only see that people collected spirit herbs and some fortunate ones even obtained Divine Binding Vines. However, they cannot see how many people's corpses are buried within this fog."

Zhao Hao's eyes betrayed his lingering fears.

"Anyway, I heard that peerless expert with a full beard say that this type of fog should never enshroud us.

"Those huge vines seem to be unable to leave the fog-enshrouded area, so as long as we don't enter the fog areas, there shouldn't be any big problems.

"However, once we enter deep within the fog areas, even Nascent Soul Supermacies would easily lose their way and be trapped inside. Then, most probably, it's bode ill rather than well."

Shen Tian was astounded. "Even Nascent Soul Supermacies would die?"

Zhao Hao nodded. "At least, from what I know, in these few hundreds of years, amongst all the cultivators who were covered by the spirit fog due to their greed, not one person successfully walked out alive."

Shen Tian's mouth twitched. "It's like you're saying you're not a person."

Zhao Hao hurriedly argued, "I resisted the temptation and was recognized dash saved by an expert. Otherwise, I would have died long ago."

Shen Tian seemed to be deep in thought. "Did that expert teach you some cultivation technique, then tell you not to tell others that you've seen him before?"

Zhao Hao was stunned. "Huh, how did you know? No, it's not me, it's my friend. I've never seen that expert before!"

Shen Tian nodded in resignation. "Yes, yes, yes. You never said you've seen that expert. It's your friend that saw him.

"Brother Zhao, is it also because of that cultivation technique that resulted in you suddenly suffering Qi Deviation and losing your cultivation?"

After Shen Tian finished, Zhao Hao was completely dumbfounded. "Brother Shen, you're too amazing!"

In fact, the reason Zhao Hao had suffered Qi Deviation was indeed because he had cultivated the Sky-Incinerating Fire Sword Art that Sword Venerable Qian Yang had taught him.

According to Sword Venerable Qian Yang, he was an itinerant cultivator and had unintentionally obtained part of the Imperial Sun Sutra.

After integrating the Sword Dao, which he had comprehended, and spending thousands of years, he had finally created a peerless Immortal Sutra, the Sky-Incinerating Fire Sword Art.

When cultivating this sword art, every time one broke through a cultivation level, they had to use Raging Fire Sword Aura to refine their body and dantian. Thus, it was extremely dangerous.

However, every time one succeeded, their body and dantian would become extremely powerful. One could say to be cultivating both Qi and Body, thus beating other cultivators of the same stage by miles.

Sword Venerable Qian Yang named such a cultivation method as Nine Refinement of Sword Flame. Cultivating it had gone wrong for Zhao Hao during the Second Refinement.

That was because when he had been cultivating, he learned that his father went missing. Thus, he lost concentration, and the Sword Flame ran amok within him, damaging his dantian.

As a result, the Spirit Qi in his whole body had dispersed, and there were also cracks in his Dharmic foundation, which had also been sliced by the Sword Flame. That's how he lost his cultivation.

Zhao Hao had never told anyone that, so how did Shen Tian know?

Seeing how Zhao Hao was making such a fuss, Shen Tian's lips twitched. He expressed that it was simple.

Do I even need to guess such a plot? As a standard Dragon Proud Sky, wouldn't you have an invincible Master out of nowhere?

Most importantly, the instant when everyone entered Fog Town, Shen Tian discovered an extraordinary sight—the scenes of fortuitous opportunities had appeared above everyone's head in his team. That was especially so for Zhao Hao.

It was also through the fortuitous opportunity on top of Zhao Hao's head that Shen Tian had seen the scene where he reunited with that expert.

Who would have thought that this fellow would have the bug-like existence of a grandpa Master? This is indeed the treatment of an MC!

Unfortunately, although the impressive senior was a super-powerful individual, he had most probably died from the scene on Zhao Hao's head.

Master dies, the disciple gains a bug-like existence!

Of course, Shen Tian did not plan to save him, nor did he have a way to save him. That was because he had no idea where that grandpa was, as well as he did not know how that guy died.

The only thing he could see was that grandpa's soul elegantly landing on Zhao Hao's head, like a flaming meteorite. Afterward, these two that had not met for years would start to reminisce. Next, Zhao Hao would be forcibly carried away by his master.

Shen Tian was extremely envious of such a fortuitous opportunity.

It's simply a brainless Dragon Proud Sky!

No! Such a huge fortuitous opportunity, I must freeload it!

At that thought, Shen Tian said with a solemn face, "Brother Zhao, the time has arrived. I have endured the dangers of receiving the Heavenly Dao's backlash and finally pried about a ray of hope for you!"

Chapter 130: Kneel Here, Don't Move

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Endured the dangers of receiving the Heavenly Dao's backlash and finally pried about a ray of hope for me?

Zhao Hao felt extremely moved upon seeing Shen Tian's "solemn" face.

Ever since he had lost his cultivation due to Qi Deviation, not one had been this genuine and selfless toward him.

Although Zhao Hao had not cultivated any divination-related arts, he had heard that as long as one divined the future, it was going against the heavens. Even the shallowest cultivation technique amongst divination arts, the "searching and assessing of ore", would bring the Heavenly Dao's envy. Thus, one would have ill-boding twilight years.

Even when seeing through Spirit Ores and mountain topography of Spirit Mines, one would suffer from backlash, not to mention prying into a living person's destiny.

Normally, if it weren't for one's beloved, closest friends, or brothers, who would be willing to endure the backlash from the Heavenly Dao and help change one's destiny without any obligations?

At that thought, Zhao Hao started tearing up. "Brother Shen, I have but this damaged body! How am I worth it for you to go against the heavens and help me change my destiny?"

Shen Tian smiled and said, "It's okay. We hit it off very well, and I can see that Brother Zhao, you're not normal... not a normal person.

"Brother Zhao, your forehead is filled with vitality, and guardians can be vaguely seen protecting you. You'll definitely be one of the peerless geniuses in the future, and your status will rise so high it cannot be measured.

"Now that you've lost your cultivation is just but one of your setbacks. As long as you get past it, you'll definitely rise to the top!"

As he spoke, Shen Tian pulled Zhao Hao. "Brother Zhao, I've already calculated the place in which you can change your destiny, follow me!"

Seeing how Shen Tian pulled Zhao Hao and rushed toward the east of Fog City, Zhang Yunxi's smile gradually froze.

Qin Yundi's eyes were full of admiration.

I've never thought that Senior Brother is not only proficient in the Yin-Yang Water Inverse Dao but also in divination arts.

Senior Brother is indeed Senior Brother! Such amazing talent. It's no wonder even the Sacred Leader thinks he can lead our sect to prosperity!

Qin Gao heaved a sigh of relief.

Although His Highness still does not have a Dao companion, he seems to be quite close to Zhao Hao. This... is quite good too.

As for Eunuch Gui, he seemed to have thought of something and suddenly understood.

No wonder His Highness' recent behavior was this weird, miraculously finding the Demon Book of Hyuga in the Imperial Library and even being able to see through Spirit Ores. So His Highness actually cultivated the unfathomable Divination Dao!

Who knows from which expert he learned that from... Tsss! Is it possible that there is a profound expert with peerless strength hidden within the Lan's Palace?

Does it mean His Highness had an expert protecting him all along? No wonder he could get through the suffering of 88 Qi Deviations. With this mysterious "master" guarding him, His Highness will finally be safe in the future.

If Concubine Lan knew, she would definitely be happy!

They had myriads of thoughts, but Shen Tian's thinking was simple—he would freeload Zhao Hao's fortuitous opportunity according to the scene.

In the scene of that fortuitous opportunity, Shen Tian saw that Zhao Hao was paying homage to his deceased mother in a mountain valley to the east of Fog City. As a result, he was just nicely hit by a flaming meteorite.

After successfully advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage, Shen Tian was able to use divine consciousness. Hence, his memory was many times better than normal people who did not cultivate, and he was able to clearly remember every detail.

He brought Zhao Hao toward the east of the Fog City and determined according to the scene's scenery. Shortly after, he found that exact spot.

In the instant when they walked into the mountain valley, Zhao Hao took a deep breath. "Brother Shen, how do you know that my mother is buried here?"

Shen Tian replied calmly, "Brother Zhao's attribute is Fire, so you need the vitality of Wood to flourish. I've divined that this blessed land has unbreakable blood tie karma with Brother Zhao. It can help you to overcome your difficulties and rise up."

After walking calmly into the mountain valley, Shen Tian stood in front of a tomb, which was full of colorful flowers. That was the resting place of Zhao Hao's mother.

Zhao Hao gradually knelt down in front of the tomb and said, "My mother was proficient in Wood Dharma techniques, so she loved nature. She had requested to be buried here when she was alive.

"Mother, I'm unfilial and have not lived up to your expectations. If you can hear me, I hope you can bless me to recover my cultivation sooner."

Shen Tian patted Zhao Hao's shoulders. "Brother Zhao, the Heavenly Dao decides one's destiny, but there's still a ray of hope. Your chance to change your fate is within this mountain valley.

"As long as you stay in this mountain valley for three days and nights and keep vigil for your mother's tomb, then within three days, your opportunity will descend from the sky. Then, you will be able to overcome this setback and rise up."

Zhao Hao's face was filled with excitement. "Even without the opportunity, it's my due obligation to keep vigil at my mother's tomb to fulfill my filial piety.

"However, what Brother Shen says seems to be too unbelievable. I just need to kneel here for three days and nights, and an opportunity will descend from the sky and recover my cultivation?"

Shen Tian shook his head. "Of course not. If Brother Zhao thinks kneeling for three days and nights is too tiring, then it's fine for you to stand."

Zhao Hao shook his head firmly. "How can I do that? My mother's soul is blessing me even from the heavens, how could I be disrespectful?

"I'll kneel! I'll definitely kneel for these three days and nights. Brother Shen, please don't try to persuade me any longer! Let me fulfill my filial piety!"

Zhao Hao's determination rendered Shen Tian speechless. What could he do in this situation!?

Shen Tian had seen that the opportunity would arrive on the night of the full moon, so it should be around the 15th.

It was already the 14th, so according to Shen Tian's inference, it was highly possible that Zhao Hao's fortuitous opportunity would fall upon him within these three days.

Since the scenes of the fortuitous opportunities that Shen Tian could see were all recent, it was impossible for him to suddenly see the scene of a fortuitous opportunity that was on the 15th of the next month!

Zhao Hao had already knelt in front of the tomb with firm determination, so Shen Tian had no choice but to say, "Since Brother Zhao is this filial, I won't try to persuade you anymore."

He took out a cushion and a bag of dried rations from his Archeon Sea Ring.

"Brother Zhao, just kneel here and don't walk around. I'll leave these dried rations and the cushion for you. You should know that perseverance is the key to success. You can do it!"

After finishing, Shen Tian turned and left, leaving behind Zhao Hao, whose face was filled with gratitude.

Not only did Brother Shen help me change my destiny while enduring the dangers of backlash from the Heavenly Dao, but he is even this considerate and thoughtful. He's so handsome, dignified, and unyielding to fate. He is also good at thinking for others... He's just too perfect!

In that instant, Zhao Hao finally understood that the reason Princess Xue Wuxia had fallen in love with him was not only as simple as Shen Tian's handsome appearance.

Brother Shen, I'm sincerely convinced by being defeated by you!

On the other side, Shen Tian, who did not know that Zhao Hao's imagination was running wild, was in fact quite troubled.

I had already said it's fine to stand, but he just had to kneel. He did not even give me the chance to persuade him!

Although seeing him this filial was moving, Shen Tian felt that he had cheated someone again.

Nevermind, even if he has lost his cultivation, his physical foundation is still there. If it's just kneeling for three days and nights, it won't harm Zhao Hao. At most, I'll absorb him into the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground after he regains his cultivation and compensate him slowly.

At that thought, Shen Tian let Zhao Hao be and started searching for Fang Chang's fortuitous opportunity.

Previously, the huge fortuitous opportunity that Shen Tian had seen on top of Fang Chang's head was deep within the mountain valley of fog.

Now, it was already afternoon, which was when the spirit fog had dispersed the most.

Shen Tian took a deep breath.

It's time to go and obtain that super fortuitous opportunity!

Chapter 131: White Tiger VII VS Divine Binding Vine

Shen Tian and the others were running rapidly on the vast plain. They could jump tens of feet far with just a step on the ground.

Although due to the special energy field's influence, they were unable to use Sword Kinesis Flight, their physical fitness was much superior as compared to normal people.

Amongst them, Shen Tian was all the way in the front. He followed the scenes of the fortuitous opportunity on top of Fang Chang's head and dashed forward in full speed—his target was extremely clear.

As for the others, they followed behind Shen Tian. It could be vaguely seen that Shen Tian was the leader.

Zhang Yunxi asked, "Junior Brother, is there really an opportunity in front of the tomb where you asked that fellow, Zhao Hao, to kneel? "

Shen Tian nodded. "According to my divination, there should be no mistake."

After thinking for a moment, Shen Tian added, "In reality, if I divined correctly, then if Senior Sister keeps heading toward the east-west direction, you should also encounter your own opportunity."

Shen Tian had already seen Zhang Yunxi's fortuitous opportunity. If she kept heading straight toward the east-west direction, she would encounter a 4th Stage Divine Binding Vine.

Given Zhang Yunxi's current strength, it was enough to kill that Divine Binding Vine and make it into a heavenly Dharma treasure that would belong to her.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing what Shen Tian said, Zhang Yunxi shook her head. "It's just an opportunity, that's secondary. It's too dangerous for Junior Brother to go too deep into the Fog Plain, so it's better for me to stay beside you and protect you!"

Wow~

Although it sounded very touching, he just had the feeling he was not man enough!

Shen Tian wanted to puff out his chest domineeringly and say, "Do I need you to protect me?"

However, on second thought, he might... did... indeed needed Zhang Yunxi's protection as the current Fog Plain was filled with abnormality due to the Fog Tide Period.

Firstly, he had seen that mysterious Sword Venerable Qian Yang die and become a flaming meteorite.

Immediately after, he saw the opportunity of a 4th Stage Divine Binding Vine on top of Zhang Yunxi's head, and even opportunities on top of Eunuch Gui's and the others' heads.

Just the Divine Binding Vine alone, he had seen not only one on top of everyone's heads, which was simply unbelievable. One had to know that in the previous Fog Tide Periods, rarely would the number of Divine Binding Vines found by cultivators be over 10.

However, now, he had seen a total of four Divine Binding Vines in Eunuch Gui's, Qin Gao's, Zhang Yunxi's, and Qin Yundi's halos. In addition, back in Fog Town, Shen Tian had also seen the Divine Binding Vine fortuitous opportunity in some other cultivators' halos.

Thus, even if he calculated roughly, Shen Tian had already seen more than 20 fortuitous opportunity scenes that were related to the Divine Binding Vine. Not to mention that there were plenty of adventurers who were not within the Fog Town, and Shen Tian had not observed them.

As such, if the people who had already entered the Fog Plain to search for treasures were included, then most likely the number of Divine Binding Vines which appeared in this Fog Tide Period this time had to at least be over 50.

As a hardcore novel fan who had read countless fantasy novels, Shen Tian knew that if things were abnormal, something would go wrong. What might happen would definitely not be simple!

There might be some kind of danger in this Fog Tide Period, so without Zhang Yunxi, Shen Tian would be a little lacking in self-confidence.

Alright, let's finish this promptly. After finding the fortuitous opportunity on top of Fang Chang's head, I'll immediately leave this Fog Plain. The further, the better. Safety comes first, better not get into any dangerous situations.

While Shen Tian was deep in thought, they quickly traveled 400 kilometers into the Fog Plain.

Everyone was currently close to the Fog Plain's center, and half of the Fog City had already disappeared underneath the horizon.

However, Shen Tian knew that the scene of that fortuitous opportunity was still much deeper within the fog. If he wanted to obtain that fortuitous opportunity, he would have to take a risk and enter the forbidden area enshrouded by the fog. Otherwise, he could continue to wait until the fog was compressed to even deeper areas of the plain.

However, it was already past noon, so the fog had already been compressed to the maximum and was slowly returning.

If they did not return in time and were covered by the fog, it would be extremely dangerous. Hence, Shen Tian had no other choice but to bring everyone back to the original path.

"My opportunity has yet to arrive. I'll help all of you find your fortuitous opportunities first!"

Shen Tian made up his mind. If he really could not obtain it, then he would forget about freeloading Fang Chang's fortuitous opportunity. He would just freeload the fortuitous opportunity of Zhang Yunxi and the others directly. They would then hide and wait within Fog City.

Once he noticed anything wrong with the fog, then he would immediately escape with Zhang Yunxi, Eunuch Gui, and the others.

Although fortuitous opportunities were important, if he could not freeload on Fang Chang's one, then at most he could freeload on others. He only had one life, so it was not worth it to use his life to take a risk for the fortuitous opportunity.

After confirming his plan, Shen Tian started bringing Zhang Yunxi and the others to obtain their respective opportunities.

The speed at which the Spirit Fog returned was not fast. Shen Tian and the others quickly found that Divine Binding Vine, which belonged to Zhang Yunxi.

That Divine Binding Vine was within a canyon about 350 kilometers away from Fog City. The vine was as long as thousands of meters, and its whole body was greenish-black in color.

On the Divine Binding Vine's surface were countless hideous spikes that were shining with faint luster, as if they were thorns, making shivers run down one's spine.

Green liquid seeped out of the spikes' tip, and evidently, the poison it contained was quite strong. Thus, if one was wrapped around by this Divine Binding Vine, that person would definitely suffer.

This Divine Binding Vine was quite powerful. Even if Nascent Soul cultivators had encountered it, they might be entangled if careless and die.

However, there was not a trace of fear in Zhang Yunxi's eyes. She slowly pulled out the White Tiger Sword on her back.

Clang!

As the divine sword was unsheathed, the silver light surged out like a waterfall.

The sounds of thunder could be vaguely heard in the air as if a White Tiger had jumped out of the mountain forest.

Zhang Yunxi suddenly jumped in the air and started fighting with the Divine Binding Vine; her figure was so fast only a silver light could be seen. Surprisingly, she was fighting on par with the Divine Binding Vine.

Shen Tian brought everyone to retreat outside of the Divine Binding Vine's attacking range. He said calmly, "Yundi, Gao, Uncle Gui, attack its roots from afar."

Zhang Yunxi completely blocked the Divine Binding Vine's attacks, so Shen Tian started shooting with his Lotus Shooting Gun at the Divine Binding Vine's roots.

Qin Gao and Eunuch Gui were not outdone. They controlled their Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Guns and neared the Divine Binding Vine agilely to attack.

The highlight was Qin Yundi—as an explosion specialist, he was best at fixed remote explosions.

With a hand gesture, the 36 Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Guns started crazily shooting toward the Divine Binding Vine. Not only so, but the silver Yin-Yang Penetrating Divine Lightning was also crazily thrown toward the Divine Binding Vine's roots.

Shortly after, 4th Stage Divine Binding Vine's roots were full of injuries from the explosions, and greenish-black juice surged out. If this continued, then in less than one hour, they could kill it while not damaging its body at all.

Unfortunately, the Spirit Fog was also closing onto them, and given its speed, it would cover Shen Tian and the others completely in at most half an hour.

Zhang Yunxi's eyes turned cold. The golden lightning mark between her brows emitted an extremely radiant light, covering her whole body.

In that instant, she completely merged with the White Tiger Avatar, and it was as if she herself had completely turned into a huge White Tiger VII.

Roar!

The sound of the tiger's roar made the whole Fog Plain tremble. The White Tiger VII charged toward the Divine Binding Vine abruptly, not caring about the countless injuries its spikes inflicted. It bit the Divine Binding Vine's roots vigorously!

In that instant, an unprecedented amount of juice gushed out—the Divine Binding Vine's roots had broken!

Chapter 132: Master Celestial Is Back

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

With Zhang Yunxi's full power, the huge Divine Binding Vine was finally cut down.

The White Tiger avatar snapped the Divine Binding Vine from its root with its sharp teeth and held it down tightly.

Although the vine was struggling, it had lost most of its power as the root was cut off.

Soon, it was shattered by the Divine Lightning and disappeared.

The root that remained buried in the ground was pulled out afterward. In order to make a Divine Binding Rope, it would be best for the Divine Binding Vine to be intact as it had Divine Emblems on it.

The Dive Emblems' presence would make the Divine Binding Vine stronger, and thus the subsequent rope made from it would be much more powerful.

Although half of a Divine Binding Vine could still make the rope, the Divine Binding Rope's power would be halved too.

After the 4th Stage Divine Binding Vine pulled out, Shen Tian and his group were very close to the spirit fog. They quickly ran toward Fog City without delay.

Shen Tian felt that it was like playing PUBG, and they had to move into the safe zone...

Zhang Yunxi was very pale as she had overexerted herself during the earlier battle. In addition, since they had to cut down the Divine Binding Vine as quickly as possible, Zhang Yunxi had not bothered to dodge the vine's last few attacks. The attacks' power was comparable to the full strength of a Nascent Soul cultivator. It was not easy for her, even if she had the White Tiger Clear Light Armor.

Shen Tian praised Zhang Yunxi in his heart as she did not make a single complaint about her injuries.

While they were running toward Fog City, Zhang Yunxi used her lightning and refined the Divine Binding Vine. Soon, the vine and the roots combined together again.

Zhang Yunxi said calmly, "Junior Brother, this is a very thick vine. You can have it! You can let Aunt-Master Golden Lotus refine it in the future. It will be useful for you even to the early stage of the Nascent Soul."

Shen Tian quickly shook his head. "How can I do that? That is Senior Sister's fortuitous opportunity!"

Zhang Yunxi looked at Shen Tian straight in the eyes and said, "You will be much safer with this 4th Stage Divine Binding Vine."

Shen Tian shook his head again. Although he liked the rope very much, it was Yunxi's fortuitous opportunity. If he took it away from Senior Sister, her providence would drop, and she would not be able to protect him anymore.

Thus, Shen Tian said firmly, "Senior Sister, listen. Your safety is our priority. You have the highest cultivation level among us. Thus, you can unleash the full power of the 4th Stage Divine Binding Vine. With that, our journey in this Fog Plain will be much safer. Don't you agree?"

Zhang Yunxi was convinced. She was especially touched when she heard, "Your safety is our priority.".

So, Junior Brother cares so much for me!

"Junior Brother, that makes a lot of sense. I'll keep it then."

Zhang Yunxi kept the Divine Binding Vine into her interspatial ring and planned to refine it back in the city.

This vine was still too big now. After all the impurities were removed during the refinement, only the best part of it would remain. By then, this extremely long vine would shrink to the size of about a few feet, but its power would be increased.

Shen Tian led the group in the Fog Plain based on the images he saw in their halos.

Soon, they encountered a 3rd Stage Divine Binding Vine and two 2nd Stage ones. They quickly defeated them with ease.

The 3rd Divine Binding Vine was Qin Yundi's fortuitous opportunity, while the other two were for Qin Gao's and Eunuch Gui's.

Given Zhang Yunxi's overly powerful skills, they obtained them effortlessly.

At the same time, they started to look at Shen Tian in a different way due to his high rate accuracy of encountering treasures. Now, they totally believed that Shen Tian had the skill to look into the future and predict such fortuitous opportunities.

This is just too abnormal! Normally, only about ten vines could be found in the entire Fog Plain in a month!

Under the Saint's lead, we managed to find four in just a couple of hours! Not to mention that one of them is a 4th Stage Divine Binding Vine! Such a vine has only appeared three times for the past thousand years!

Nascent Soul Supremacy would turn green from jealousy if they found out.

Shen Tian did not keep the rest of the three Divine Binding Vines. He felt that his top priority was to increase his providence rather than obtaining good equipment. No one could tell what would happen to the Fog Plain in the future; not even Shen Tian had the full picture of it.

Thus, Shen Tian felt that the best move now was to increase his providence and use it to solve all his future problems. As long as he managed to make his halo greener than other adventurers and be more cautious, he would not lose his life even if there was imminent danger.

Those who had halos not as green as mine will die first! Yes, that's the plan!

Shen Tian took out a mirror from his pocket while running. He was very glad to see the green halo and his handsome face.

After Shen Tian had given to his teammates their Divine Binding Vines, his halo was even greener now. It was a bright green that was filled with life. It was rather assuring.

I cannot let my guard down with just this kind of green. It's not enough. I need to make it even greener in order to survive in this place. Maybe I'll even need a red halo!

How can I make it greener or red?

Shen Tian fell into deep thought until he suddenly had an idea!

Since I could help people choose ores back in Myriad Spirit Garden, why can't I help people find spirit herbs here? I can see their fortuitous opportunities in their halos anyway! All I have to do is to use my divine consciousness and give them the herbs' location. They can find them for themselves then!

Shen Tian did not plan to go too deep in the plain as Zhao Hao had mentioned that the fog there was very sinister.

Unfortunately, Shen Tian had to miss Fang Chang's fortuitous opportunity. It was a fortuitous opportunity that belonged to someone with a golden halo!

Although Shen Tian had no idea what the liquid in the image was, it would definitely be better than the First Essence Heavy Water, right?

Shen Tian felt resigned that he could not have a share of Fang Chang's fortuitous opportunity.

Well, the root cause was still that his providence was not strong enough. If his halo was golden, too, there was no way Shen Tian was afraid to explore that area himself!

I need to increase my providence now! I just can't wait!

Shen Tian and the group were forced back to Fog City by the spirit fog.

Fog City was very quiet at night, and only the spirit fog was rolling outside the city. When the spirit fog spread to its maximum, it was just a few kilometers away from the city. They could even feel the air was moister due to the fog.

Shadows were moving in the fog, and it looked very eerie.

Finally, the sun rose and pierced through the darkness. Soon, Fog City's gate opened, and the group left the city.

After one night of refinement, Qin Gao, Eunuch Gui, Qin Yundi, and Zhang Yunxi had a rough idea of how to use the Divine Binding Rope. Now, with this supreme-grade Dharma treasure's help, they were even more powerful.

Zhang Yunxi had completed half of the rope's refinement process, but it was still functional. When she fully refined it, she would strike fear in her opponent with her extreme power.

Out of the five of them, four had increased their power.

Shen Tian wore his Dao robe and pasted a fake mustache again. Then, he took out his old stall and banners and assumed his fake persona. The only difference was that Shen Tian was also wearing Zhang Yunxi's Phoenix Feather Mask now. Thus, his disguise was more effective now!

Zhang Yunxi felt strange upon seeing that mask on Shen Tian's face.

My lips had touched a certain part of the mask before...

And Junior Brother Shen is wearing it now...

Zhang Yunxi blushed.

It feels... great!

Chapter 133: Disciples From Divine Firmament Here To Help!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Phoenix Feather Mask had covered Shen Tian's face completely. It had the ability to conceal one's aura and prevent any detection, so Shen Tian looked very mysterious in this mask.

It was really a great item for Shen Tian's current circumstances!

Even if he messed with someone he should not, he could just run away. Nobody would know he was Divine Firmament's Saint with this mask.

With that in mind, Shen Tian entered Fog Town and opened his stall.

He stood on the street with two banners beside him.

On the left, it wrote: 'If we are fated, it will be free.'

On the right, it wrote: 'If not, no amount of gold would fancy me.'

Something was also written on the front of Shen Tian's stall: 'Kindness in Charity, Not Looking For Cultivation Partners'.

Shen Tian felt very pleased upon looking at the familiar stall.

Naturally, Shen Tian's weird outfit and his stall had attracted many people.

"'If we are fated, my services will be free; but if we are not, no amount of gold would fancy me.'? Wow, we have a scammer here!"

"Brother, if you want to play fortune-telling, at least take off your mask. If not, how do we find you in the future if you scam us?"

"He's so handsome! Although I can't see his face, I just feel like he's very handsome!"

"Brother Dao! Can you see if we are fated? Could you take off your mask for me?"

There were two groups of cultivators in Fog Town, just like in Myriad Spirit Garden.

Males believed that Shen Tian was not trustworthy with that mask.

Females thought that Shen Tian must be very handsome and requested him to remove his mask. Some even offered to pay him if he would take off the mask.

Then, Zhang Yunxi did her duty as a bodyguard. She walked up beside Shen Tian and released the negative charges stored in her body.

In an instant, the area around Shen Tian was alarmingly electrified, and all the cultivators within a meter radius were electrocuted.

"Damn! You look like a lady, but why are you so unreasonable... able..."

"My whole body is numb! Miss, I have nothing against you! Why did you shock me?"

"Sister, I'm only interested in this Dao priest's look! Why are you so angry?"

Zhang Yunxi said indifferently, "I don't care if you wanna fool around here, but you are not touching him."

Then, Zhang Yunxi gathered her Divine Lightning and summoned her White Tiger avatar.

Roar!

The avatar forced the cultivators away from Shen Tian, but at the same time attracted the attention of more people.

"What a strong tiger avatar! Is she from the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground?"

"The White Tiger avatar originates from the Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique! Only the true disciples have the chance to learn it!"

"Sss, is this girl a true disciple from the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground?"

"She's so young yet so strong!"

More people gathered around the stall due to Zhang Yunxi's avatar.

Upon seeing the banners beside Shen Tian, some people became curious too.

Just like what he had been operating back in Myriad Spirit Garden, Shen Tian only replied to those with fortuitous opportunities.

After seeing a couple of unlucky cultivators, Shen Tian finally met a lucky man.

However, after seeing who the man was, Shen Tian was shocked. "Liu Taiyi? Why are you here?"

Yes, that was a coincidence.

The first lucky man Shen Tian met today was Liu Taiyi. He was now a disciple in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground too. What was more coincidental was that Shopkeeper Song, Zhen Zhijia, and Xiong Meng were with Liu Taiyi too.

Liu Taiyi smiled and said, "Master Celestial! It's you indeed! Are you here to help lucky people for free again?"

Shopkeeper Song did not want to lose out and went up to Shen Tian too. He said with tears in his eyes, "Master Celestial! I'm thinking about you every day since you left Myriad Spirit Garden! Without your kind act, there was no way that I could have such a fortuitous opportunity and be part of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground! Are you here to choose lucky individuals and give them your blessing of fortuitous opportunities?"

Zhen Zhijia took a deep breath and said, "Master Celestial is so kind to us! There is no way that we will forget about it. We are here in the Fog Plain to train ourselves. It's such a coincidence that we are able to meet again! Please, Master Celestial. Allow us to stay with you and serve you to your liking."

Xiong Meng scratched his head and said, "Master Celestial, I missed you so much! I want to stay with you too! I can do anything you ask."

Indeed, Liu Taiyi and his party were here to train and look for treasures. It was very normal as the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground was only 1,500km away.

After Shen Tian had started his seclusion, they had no one to flatter and thus felt very bored and empty inside.

After discussing amongst themselves, the four of them decided to train at the Fog Plain. Actually, they were competing in their hearts to see who could find the rarest treasure for Master Celestial.

However, they had no idea they could meet Master Celestial here in the town.

After seeing the White Tiger avatar, they gathered around and spotted Shen Tian.

However, upon seeing that he was wearing a mask, they did not make any rash moves.

Since Shen Tian was wearing a mask, he must want to conceal his identity. Thus, the best move for them was to help him by playing along with him instead of calling out to him.

It was hard for Shen Tian to earn others' trust with that mask, so he would need some helpers...

Shopkeeper Song and Liu Taiyi knew that they could not beat the Saintess in battle. Nonetheless, they were confident that not even ten Saintesses would be able to beat them in terms of helping to make a profit and convert people into Shen Tian's believers.

Thus, the four of them changed their clothes and donned clothing that only the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's inner-sect disciples were eligible to wear.

Due to their appearance, a commotion immediately broke out among the crowd.

The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground was this Endless Terrain's ruler. As the inner-sect disciples, they were supposed to be very proud and arrogant. However, they were so polite in front of Shen Tian like obedient pets.

"They're willing to do whatever this so-called Master Celestial asks them to do?"

"Are they not afraid that they're putting shame on the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground?"

"Most importantly, that female true disciple did nothing to stop them."

"It seems like it's perfectly normal for them to behave this way toward this Dao priest..."

"Who exactly is this man?"

"Could he be a high-level cultivator that even the sacred ground needs to be respectful to him!?"

Chapter 134: Master Celestial And Me

Shen Tian facepalmed helplessly upon seeing that Shopkeeper Song and Liu Taiyi were flattering him again.

Although they were very smart in their own way and could please him very much so, they were too attached to him.

No matter where my stall is, they will always be around.

What was more important was that he really saw the image of fortuitous opportunities in their halos! They were very clear and vivid!

Well, they were lucky enough to get part of the Divine Lightning Origin back in the Sky Spirit Pavilion, and thus their providence had increased drastically. Even the weakest of them had a dark green halo. As for the one with the highest providence among all of them, Shopkeeper Song's halo had started to have red spots!

Shopkeeper Song and his group definitely had top-notch providence compared to the people here in Fog Town.

Given their providence, they would encounter treasures during their experiential journey effortlessly.

Since the fortuitous opportunities had come to Shen Tian, there was no way he was going to miss the chance.

He looked at Shopkeeper Song and the others with a smile. "Why? Why do you have to be so persistent... Forget it. Since we can meet today, it means that we are indeed fated."

Then, he said to Shopkeeper Song, "Song Fugui, come forward."

Master Celestial asked me to come forward? Is he going to help me find my fortuitous opportunity?

Shopkeeper Song was very excited and followed the instruction. "Yes, Master Celestial!"

Shen Tian said calmly, "Since we are fated today, I'm going to show you the path to your fortuitous opportunity. Just stick to it, and you will find what you need."

Then, he raised his finger and pointed at Shopkeeper Song's glabella. A beam with a message was transmitted through divine consciousness.

Only a Foundation Establishment cultivator could use such an ability, and that was also how some heritage cultivation techniques were passed down.

For example, the Divine Firmament Drager Pendant and the Demon Book of Hyuga all contained divine consciousness in them. When cultivators wanted to learn them in the future, they needed to use their spiritual power and activate the divine consciousness.

Well, since Shen Tian was just a Foundation Establishment cultivator, his spiritual power was still very weak. Thus, he could only pass the message of a small map over a short distance.

As long as Shopkeeper Song followed the small map, he could find the fortuitous opportunity.

After receiving Shen Tian's message, Shopkeeper Song was very happy.

"Thank you, Master Celestial! I'll repay your kindness the moment I get this fortuitous opportunity!"

Shen Tian nodded slightly. "Like I said, 'If we are fated, my services will be free; but if we are not, no amount of gold would fancy me.'.

"Your fortuitous opportunity has arrived, just go and get it. Do not loiter around the area.

"After reading the stars in the sky, I foresee that things are going to turn ugly soon.

"Remember, do not be greedy and take all that is available. Engrave it in your heart."

Shopkeeper Song nodded furiously. "Rest assured, Master Celestial. After I get the fortuitous opportunity, I'll stay beside you and listen to your orders."

With Master Celestial's help, I do not have to hunt for treasures at all!

What Shen Tian showed him just now was a Divine Binding Vine, one in its tender stage. He could catch it as a pet if he was lucky enough. Such Divine Binding Vine could grow quickly and get strong very fast. Thus it would be very useful if a cultivator owned it.

Shopkeeper Song had made up his mind to give the Divine Binding Vine to Shen Tian.

As long as Master Celestial is happy, I'll have more fortuitous opportunities in the future!

Then, Shopkeeper Song started running toward the plain.

Shen Tian nodded and looked at the rest of the group. "Xiong Meng, come forward."

Xiong Meng was so excited that he quickly jumped up and shouted, "Here I am."

Seeing the huge man behave in such a way, Shen Tian felt utterly helpless. "I have something for you too."

Then, Shen Tian passed Xiong Meng a piece of a map through divine consciousness too.

Xiong Meng's fortuitous opportunity was a Metal Steel Grass. It was the main material for making Body Pills and Body Elixirs. These could improve one's physique greatly.

Xiong Meng had a strong body, to begin with. Thus he was very suitable to cultivate in Godfiend Body Tempering Arts. It would be very helpful to him in cultivating the Lightning Emperor Body Tempering Art if he had the Metal Steel Grass.

After receiving Shen Tian's 'blessing', Xiong Meng started laughing uncontrollably.

"Thank you, Master Celestial! Thank you! I'll listen to whatever you say after I find my fortuitous opportunity!"

Then, Xiong Meng ran away in the direction of Shopkeeper Song too.

Zhang Yunxi was very worried as Shen Tian was revealing the future to others so easily.

She sent him a voice transmission. "Junior Brother, are you sure it is okay for you to do this so frequently? Will fate itself punish you?"

Zhang Yunxi's concern was very reasonable. There were indeed cultivators who were specialized in fortune-telling and predicting the future. However, there were a lot of restrictions on what they could say. If they revealed the future too frequently, they could suffer from the Heavenly Calamity.

Now, Shen Tian was bluntly starting a stall and doing fortune-telling in the open. It would not be a problem if Shen Tian was not telling the truth about their fortuitous opportunities. However, if whatever Shen Tian said came true, it meant that he was revealing the future to others frequently!

If he were really punished by fate itself, Zhang Yunxi would be very troubled.

Shen Tian smiled and said, "It's okay. I was born with special eyes that can see the future. This will not cause any side effects. As long as I do not force myself to predict some incredible fortuitous opportunity and do not take advantage of the opportunities that belong to a person with great providence, there is nothing to worry about."

Zhang Yunxi was relieved after hearing this. She recalled what had happened back in the Myriad Spirit Garden.

So that's why Junior Brother could be sure that the Divine Firmament Drager Pendant was in that ore without even careful inspection.

He was not actually assessing the ore, but he was looking in the future instead!

Seeing Shen Tian knew what he was doing, Zhang Yunxi decided to trust him.

Shen Tian continued to share the information with the fated cultivators around and asked them to find their fortuitous opportunities themselves.

For safety concerns, Shen Tian did not wish to go back to the Fog Plain anymore. The fog there was really creepy.

After receiving the map from Shen Tian, Liu Taiyi did not run straight to the treasure location. It was a great time to flatter Shen Tian now that Shopkeeper Song was gone. He was going to stay with Shen Tian and brainwash the new fated people.

Although Celievers had changed their name to the Favored Ones group, the culture of splitting half the shares with Shen Tian should remain.

Liu Taiyi would not allow anyone to break that rule. He could obtain a fortuitous opportunity in the future, but it was more important to earn Shen Tian's favor now.

Liu Taiyi found a small seat and sat by the road. He was waiting for the return of the first new fated person.

Finally, after an hour or so, the first fated man came.

He was someone that Liu Taiyi had never seen before.

He was an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. According to Shen Tian, he had found nearly 100 Sexual Spirit Chrysanthemums!

This Spirit Chrysanthemum was a 2nd grade spirit herb and could be used to concoct the Sexual Prolongation Liquid, which was very popular among Dao companions. The market price of a 2nd Grade Sexual Spirit Chrysanthemum was about 100 Spirit Stones. Thus, 100 of them were worth nearly 10,000 Spirit Stones.

That was a huge fortune for an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, and it could last him for very long.

Seeing that the fated man had returned, Liu Taiyi quickly approached him.

"Hey, pal. Are you going home just like this? With all the goods?

"Why are you so short-sighted!?

"Have you forgotten what Master Celestial said? 'Do not be greedy and take all that is available.'.

"What do you think he was saying? He was hinting you!

"He said he is doing it for free, but that does not mean we do not pay him!

"He is doing it for free because he has high moral value! If we do not pay, it shows that we are ungrateful!

"Pal, let me ask you something. Do you want to be favored by Master Celestial?

"Do you want to maintain your fate with Master Celestial? Or are you satisfied with just one fortuitous opportunity?

"I'm Mr. Liu. I was just like you. Come, listen to my story concerning Master Celestial."

Chapter 135: I Gave Master Celestial Chrysanthemum

That fated person originally planned to find Shen Tian and thank him. Then he would bring the chrysanthemums he obtained back home and cultivate peacefully.

However, after listening to Liu Taiyi's story, he had an epiphany. His mental outlook had been elevated due to Liu Taiyi.

What he said is so true!

Given such impressive composure and presence, even if Master Celestial wears a mask, he is still filled with a mysterious charisma.

With such temperament, it's obvious he is an extraordinary expert.

Not to mention that even the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's geniuses are gathered around Master Celestial and compete over flattering him.

Thus, it's obvious that Master Celestial's ability is definitely exceedingly high, enough to astound the world!

Others who pray to god still offer enough incense money even though their prayers may not be answered. But now, Master Celestial has found this much treasure for me, so if I just take everything and leave without any act of gratitude, then it'd be too rude.

Most importantly, as Brother Liu mentioned, if I do not share the benefits, then in the future, I won't be fated with Master Celestial anymore!

As such, whether to hog the benefits obtained alone or share enough with Master Celestial to show my sincerity so that I can maintain my fate with Master Celestial in the future... Such a decision is definitely a simple one for anyone with brains.

At that thought, the fated person instantly ran toward Shen Tian's stall. His crude storage bag shone, and tens of Sexual Spirit Chrysanthemum appeared. The fated person then bowed devoutly toward Shen Tian.

"Master Celestial, I am deeply grateful for pointing me to my opportunity. I heard Brother Liu say that Master Celestial is broad-minded and does not ask for reciprocation, but I cannot let Master Celestial do it for nothing. I have found 96 Sexual Spirit Chrysanthemums thanks to Master Celestial, and I am willing to give half to Master Celestial."

Upon seeing the Sexual Spirit Chrysanthemum that the fated person poured out onto the table, Shen Tian said helplessly, "Why would you do this?"

The Sexual Spirit Chrysanthemum was a plant that had relatively weak psychedelic and paralytic properties and could be used to concoct the Sexual Prolongation Liquid.

The problem is that such a liquid is used for those married couples with unbalanced sexual life... What do you mean by giving me so many of them?

Shen Tian's face under the mask darkened. He said calmly, "I have no need for these Spirit Chrysanthemums."

The fated person could not see Shen Tian's expression and thought he was declining out of politeness. "Master Celestial, you don't need to stand on ceremony. If it were not for Master Celestial, I wouldn't be able to obtain these many chrysanthemums. This is what you deserve to have."

Shen Tian's face turned even darker, and he was even suspicious whether this fellow was insulting him. "I really don't need them."

The fated person insisted. "Master Celestial, it's just a little gift of appreciation. You don't need to be embarrassed."

Shen Tian: (‵′)(

Speak clearly! Who is embarrassed? Do I need this? You must be kidding me!

"Alright then, since it's your gift of gratitude, then I'll accept it."

Shen Tian calmly put away half of the chrysanthemums into his Archeon Sea Ring, preparing to find a chance in the future to sell them away.

That fated person also heaved a sigh of relief.

At last, I was able to give these chrysanthemums to Master Celestial as Brother Liu had advised. According to Brother Liu, this should allow me to continue being fated with Master Celestial and riding on Master Celestial's coattails!

The fated person asked Shen Tian with anticipation, "Master Celestial, could you continue to point me to the right path?"

After hearing the fated person's question, Shen Tian looked at the spirit fog, which was surging in the distance, and then looked on top of his head. This fated person only had a pale green halo originally. After obtaining his fortuitous opportunity upon Shen Tian's hint, the halo had leveled up to dark green.

Shen Tian did not think that staying in Fog Town was a wise choice with such a degree of providence.

Seeing the Sexual Spirit Chrysanthemums that he had given him, although the usage of the flower made Shen Tian's head ache, and he also knew the aim of gifting the chrysanthemums was impure, Shen Tian's heart still melted.

The fated person was a good young man that had received a quality education.

Shen Tian looked at the fated person coldly. "You really want to hear?"

The fated person's eyes lit up, and he replied hurriedly, "Master Celestial, please point me in the right direction. I'm all ears."

Shen Tian sighed and said, "Alright then. I'll endure the backlash from heaven and reveal a glimpse of the future. You, listen well."

The fated person hurriedly moved closer, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Shen Tian said, "You cannot have everything, and it's enough for you to obtain the Sexual Spirit Chrysanthemums. Your fate for encountering opportunities is still shallow.

"If you're overly greedy and continue to search for treasures in the Fog Plain, you might encounter a huge disaster.

"A drastic change might occur in this place, so if you believe me, then leave after obtaining the Sexual Spirit Chrysanthemums!"

After Shen Tian finished, the expression on the fated person's face changed slightly.

Master Celestial says that my fate for encountering opportunities is still shallow. What does this mean? Is it possible that the amount of chrysanthemums is not enough? Or is it that the quality of the chrysanthemums is not good enough?

One had to say that this fated young person was of two minds about that.

Shen Tian's EQ was very high, so he immediately understood after seeing the person's expression.

That's right, the temptation of opportunities for benefits in the cultivation world is scary. How could he easily give it up?

Everyone says, "Cultivators would definitely fight against the heavens!". Thus, it is normal that he is reluctant to leave directly.

Alright, who told you to be my fated person? I know how to repay the gratitude I received!

Shen Tian sighed lightly. He took out 10 Lightning Explosion Talismans from his Archeon Sea Ring. "Stubborn, too stubborn, forget it!

"Since you're reluctant to give up on the opportunities in the plain, then go and find yourself! Take these Lightning Talismans with you."

As he spoke, Shen Tian grabbed one of the Lightning Talismans from the 10 he took out and threw it into the air, detonating it.

"If you encounter dangers that you're unable to resist, maybe these Lightning Talismans can help you to have a slim chance of survival."

Boom!

A vigorous explosion sound made that fated person's face change dramatically. "Such a powerful impact."

One had to know he was but in the early-stage of Foundation Establishment, and the Lightning Explosion Talisman's power could be compared to cultivators in the late-stage of Foundation Establishment.

That was to say, the destructive power of each Lightning Explosion Talisman was enough to kill multiple people with similar cultivation levels as the fated person.

The fated person was not dumb. He knew that there were few such supreme-grade Lightning Talismans in the market, and the price was extremely high too.

Even if one asked a person with connections to go and help them purchase the Lightning Talismans from powerful sects, they would have to spend at least 300 or even more Spirit Stones.

Without background and someone to back them up, one would even need to spend 400 to 500 Spirit Stones to buy it from a normal-scale market.

In other words, if Spirit Stones were used to buy the 10 Lightning Talisman, which Shen Tian had taken out, then 3,000 to 5,000 Spirit Stones would be needed.

In an instant, Shen Tian's credibility in the fated person's eyes increased by quite a lot.

Since Shen Tian was this generous, to the point he would even casually gift 10 Lightning Talismans, there was no need for a being of such level to deceive the fated person, who was just in the early-stage of the Foundation Establishment.

Those chrysanthemums that I gave Master Celestial may not be worth as much as these Lightning Talismans!

The fated person nodded. "I will definitely remember Master Celestial's advice and not enter the plain for the next few days."

He decided that he would stay in Fog City to cultivate after selling the chrysanthemum these few days.

On the one hand, he was preparing to break through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment. On the other hand, he wanted to see the future developments.

Shen Tian had said there might be a drastic change to this place, but he did not know what that change was.

Curiosity was a trait of human nature, so he decided to stay in Fog City to see the change for himself. Anyway, Fog City's protection was extremely powerful, as over 10 Nascent Soul Supremacies were guarding it.

As long as he stayed in Fog City, even if any dangers appeared in the Fog Plain, it would be fine.

With such thoughts, the fated person flew to Fog City after giving the chrysanthemum to Shen Tian.

Shen Tian smiled comfortingly upon seeing the departing fated person's back view. There was definitely something weird in the Fog Plain, but he couldn't convince everyone.

Never mind, just let it be!

If people are fated with me, then I'll just advise them. If they don't listen, then giving them 10 Lightning Explosion Talismans is everything I can do for them.

Speaking of which, if that fella could successfully escape using the Lightning Explosion Talismans when he encounters danger, then it would be effective toward the advertisement of the Divine Firmament's Lightning Explosion Talismans, right!?

At the thought of this, Shen Tian could not help but praise his wit.

I am indeed a genius!

Chapter 136: Southern Border's Ruler, Immortal Phoenix Queen

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At the Southern Border, Heavenly Eagle Mountain...

"Damn humans! They dare to kill my son so brutally, detestable humans!"

A sharp roar resounded tens of thousands of kilometers as a humongous golden-colored Divine Eagle soared in the air.

Its wingspan was as long as tens of thousands of meters, while its whole body was like made of gold as it shone radiantly under the sunlight, covering the whole sky.

That was an extremely fearsome and ferocious bird—its whole body was burning with a reddish-gold divine flame, and the void around its sharp claws was being destroyed, unable to endure its valiant aura.

This was the Heavenly Eagle race's Third Elder and one of the Heavenly Eagle Mountain's absolute rulers. He was a mighty peerless figure even in the whole Southern Border.

One had to know that the elders in the Demon race were different from the elders in the humans' sacred grounds, as they could retain their elder position infinitely. As long as they were alive, as well as no one in the same race was more powerful than them, they would always be the race's rulers.

Such a system was different from the human sacred grounds where they would change their elders every 1,000 years, but this also caused a stronger competition within the Demon race.

Since this Divine Eagle could reach the high position of Third Elder in the Heavenly Eagle race, then his strength would definitely be within the top five.

Besides the Heavenly Eagle race's king, the First Elder, and Second Elder, he was the most powerful individual in the whole race.

In the past, he had even torn apart a Grand Elder of a certain sacred ground in Eastern Wilderness and chowed down on the Grand Elder. It could be said that he was lawless and would definitely not endure anything that made him upset.

The moment he heard that Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus had killed his son, as well he even grilled and ate him in front of everyone, the Third Elder flew into a rage.

Then, it spread its huge wings and wanted to fly to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground of the Eastern Wilderness. He would use various Divine Firmament's Elders' blood and flesh to hold a memorial ceremony for his deceased son.

Boom!

As he flapped his huge golden wings, which were tens of thousands of meters long, an extremely frightening strong wind was generated, and deep chasms were plowed on the ground wherever the wind went.

The Third Elder possessed the Heavenly Eagle race's astonishing speed and could travel tens of thousands of kilometers with just a flap of his wings. It was as if a golden sun shot through the sky.

In a short moment, he had already flown past Endless Terrain, almost reaching Eastern Wilderness.

However, just at that moment, a fiery red flame barrier suddenly appeared, blocking his path.

The Third Elder's eyes were filled with grief and indignation. "Holy Queen! I wish to take revenge for my son. Please don't stop me!"

Within the void, the fiery red flames gathered to form an incredibly large phoenix with soaring flames. Its whole body was entangled with a dense heavenly aura as if a divine phoenix had descended upon the world.

"Presumptuous!"

A female voice mixed with heavenly aura echoed from within the flames. The voice was graceful, noble, indifferent, and full of majestic aura, making people have the thought of wanting to fall down on their knees and worship her.

That phoenix filled with soaring flames was the Demons' ruler, the strongest one that had control over the whole Nirvana Forest—Immortal Phoenix Queen.

She was born in the Primordial Age and had risen up in the Heavenly Holy Battle tens of thousands of years ago. After surviving hundreds of battles, she had attained nirvana and entered the Saint realm.

During that holy battle, countless forces had been greatly undermined, but the Immortal Phoenix race had become stronger under her lead.

Until now, tens of thousands of years had passed since the holy battle, and the Nirvana Forest had developed to become the strongest force in the whole Southern Border's Demon race.

Meanwhile, the Immortal Phoenix Queen had also become the uncrowned ruler of the whole Southern Border Demon race. She led the Immortal Phoenix race and controlled over half of the Southern Border.

Not to mention the Heavenly Eagle race's Third Elder, even if it was the Heavenly Eagle race's leader, a Divine Eagle that had undergone seven tribulations, would not dare to be impetuous in front of the Phoenix Queen.

Her voice was cold. "I have said to recuperate and build up strength within these 10,000 years, and those in the Saint realm of the Southern Border cannot leave this land. Are you questioning me?"

Immortal Phoenix Queen's voice was emotionless, but it sent shivers down the spine of the originally enraged Third Elder.

He hurriedly replied. "I definitely do not mean to disobey Holy Queen's orders, but I'm resolved to take revenge for my son."

Immortal Phoenix Queen said calmly, "Your son bullied the weak by making a move against the Divine Firmament's Saintess. Then he was killed by that Azure Lotus brat of the same stage. What is there to be upset about?

"Now, you head to the Eastern Wilderness alone to seek revenge. Do you think that you're able to destroy the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground with just your weak strength?

"Don't forget that it's not like there are no paragons in the human race. The Demon race has been recuperating for 10,000 years, so we will not start a war because of you."

The Third Elder's pupils were flashing with deep hatred. "But Holy Queen, I'm not resigned to this result! I must take revenge for my son. Forgive me, Holy Queen. I'll plead for my punishment in the Nirvana Forest after I return from taking my revenge."

After finishing, the huge golden eagle instantly shot toward Eastern Wilderness. He was so fast that only a radiant golden flash of light could be seen.

The Third Elder of the Heavenly Eagle race was actually prepared to directly disobey Immortal Phoenix Queen's orders and wanted to forcibly barge into Eastern Wilderness.

In the Endless Terrain of the Southern Border, those hidden in the dark paid their attention to the Third Elder, their eyes filled with excitement.

After thousands of years of resting and recuperation, the Southern Border Demon race's overall strength had already increased by multi-folds as compared to when the Heavenly Holy Battle had just ended.

Naturally, the long stable life made many top-notch powerful beings of the Demon race unable to hold back the desire to kill. They had thought of disobeying the Immortal Phoenix Queen's orders and let those of the other boundaries to experience the Demon race's strength!

Thus, the Third Elder's actions of leaving the Southern Border had been supported by various powerful demons.

If necessary, they would lend a helping hand!

Otherwise, how could the Third Elder, an early-stage Tribulation Transcendence demon, dare to go against the Immortal Phoenix Queen?

At that moment, the speed at which the Third Elder had unleashed the Heavenly Eagle Mystic Arts had increased explosively—he was nearing Eastern Wilderness.

As long as he successfully left the Southern Border and entered Eastern Wilderness, there would be a great impact on the Immortal Phoenix Queen's authority. By then, those hidden mighty figures, who were from different Demon races that advocated war, would swarm out to force the phoenix race to break their oath.

The Demon race respected the strong, so revealing one's weakness was equal to inviting strong enemies to swarm them and attack.

Seeing the Third Elder of the Heavenly Eagle race flying 50,000 kilometers away, a phoenix light with roaring flames suddenly shone brightly.

"Looks like all of you are already ignoring my authority since I have yet to make a move in these thousands of years. Fools!"

A cold voice resounded, and then the roaring-flamed phoenix suddenly turned into a red flaming net.

The instant that huge flame net appeared, even the void started trembling, and space cracks were formed.

The Third Elder was already about to leave the peripheral of the Southern Border. It looked like he was about to pass through the border and enter Eastern Wilderness in the next second.

However, a fiery red divine net with roaring flames suddenly appeared before the huge golden eagle, completely covering it in the next instant.

"Holy Queen, I am not convinced! The humans oppress us, but why can't we take revenge?"

The huge golden eagle kept on struggling; its sharp claws tried their best to slice through the huge net, but there was no effect at all.

The Immortal Phoenix Queen's cold voice sounded. "Those in the Saint realm cannot make a move. This is the treaty of alliance between the humans and demons. How could it be broken by you and cause war?

"If you want to take revenge, anyone under the Saint realm in the Heavenly Eagle race can make a move, to fight the humans of the same stage in Divine Firmament. Let nature take its course. Whether they live or die is for them to decide.

"If there are powerful humans that bully the weak and oppress us, then I will come forward and fight no matter what.

"However, you have broken the rules of our Demon race! As your punishment, I will seal your cultivation for 1,000 years, and you will face the wall to ponder your misdeed!"

Just as she finished, that huge divine net with roaring flames gradually turned into a birdcage, which shrunk rapidly.

Meanwhile, that Great Golden-Winged Eagle, which was originally as huge as tens of thousands of meters, actually turned as small as a canary.

The fiery red birdcage pierced through the air and shot toward the deepest parts of the Southern Border's Nirvana Forest.

In that instant, the entire Southern Border went silent, and none dared to stop her.

With just a part of her soul, she had instantly dominated and sealed the Divine Eagle as if catching a chick. Even after thousands of years, the Phoenix Queen's means were getting more and more compelling.

She was still the Southern Border's ruler!

Chapter 137: Drastic Change at the Fog Plains

At Eastern Wilderness, Divine Firmament Sacred Ground...

Pieces of paper with scrawny handwriting were strewn all over the place.

Fang Chang donned a red-gold armor, and there was a weasel hair writing brush in his hand.

Against the length of the brush, a small wooden stick was tied horizontally to it. At the same time, there were two other brushes tied at both ends of the stick.

Correct, this was a secret trick Fang Chang had mastered after years of being punished to copy the sect's rules—the Pen-Skive Three Pens Technique!

Should one use such a secret technique to copy the sect's rules, it would be equivalent to writing out three times of the sect's rules in one go. This would greatly save one lots of effort.

Even so, using this method to copy out the sect's rules for 5,000 times was still tormenting because... there were simply too many rules at the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground!

"Second Junior Brother, I really cannot do this anymore!"

Fang Chang sprawled out on the floor, wearing an expression like he was about to die.

Zhang Yunting urged weakly, "Senior Brother, don't stop. Continue, this is not enough yet!"

Fang Chang shook his head resolutely. He felt like he would suffer a Qi Deviation if he continued.

Really, copying out the sect's rules is even more challenging than fighting with a Nascent Soul Supremacy! One can go crazy over it!

...Wait, come to think of it, even though Master punished me to copy the sect's rules, he didn't mention when I should finish the task!

A spark of inspiration flashed past Fang Chang's mind, and he thought he had found the blindspot for this punishment. He couldn't help but start to get excited—that's right, so long as one finished copying, who cared whether it was done in three days, three years, or even 30 years!?

In fact, the longer this period of copying got, the lesser the number of words he had to write each day!

Moreover, if I am able to attain the Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage during this period of time, perhaps Master will be so happy that he will write off the rest of the punishment!

Ah, then isn't it so not worth it for me to slog out my hands here?

Fang Chang slapped his thighs and exclaimed, "Junior Brother, let's go back to seclusion and start cultivating again! I will continue copying the sect's rules once I attain the Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage!

"I now feel at my prime! I have never experienced such powers before! I believe I can break through that final obstacle this time!"

Looking at the excited Fang Chang, Zhang Yunting's forehead creased up.

He felt things were not going to be as smooth as what Fang Chang said.

Back at Fog City...

Shopkeeper Song and the rest returned after obtaining their fortuitous opportunities and saw that Liu Taiyi had been doing extra 'favors' for Shen Tian all this while.

How could they swallow this!? As such, they scurried about and started their marketing of the Favored Ones group.

And upon their diligent marketing efforts, more people joined the joyous family of becoming Master Celestial's followers.

Naturally, half of all the Fog Herbs and Sexual Spirit Chrysanthemums that all these people got went into Shen Tian's pocket.

Of course, Shen Tian did not take these items for free. He would give them the number of Lightning Explosion Talismans that were approximately equivalent to the items he got from them.

In any case, the cost of manufacturing these Lightning Explosion Talismans was really low for him—he could just make one talisman for about three or five Spirit Stones.

Besides, he felt that the Fog Plain would undergo some drastic change. These Lightning Explosion Talismans might save someone's life in the nick of time. If they managed to do that, this could also be another way of promoting the Yin-Yang Lightning Talisman.

But even if Shen Tian did not care much about giving away those Lightning Explosion Talismans, it didn't mean the rest would think the same.

In their eyes, this action truly exhibited to them how noble Master Celestial was.

Not only did he point out their fortuitous opportunities, but he also gave them such precious Lightning Explosion Talismans.

These Lightning Explosion Talismans were considered supreme-grade spirit talismans in the market, and any normal person would have to spend a ton to get even one of them.

To be honest, if one really went by the market price, the number of Lightning Explosion Talismans Shen Tian gave to them already exceeded the value of what they contributed to him by loads.

All at once, Shen Tian's popularity in Fog Town reached an ultimate high.

Meanwhile, everyone became all the more curious about Master Celestial's appearance, especially the lady cultivators.

Naturally, there would always be haters.

As Shen Tian pointed out the fortuitous opportunities for the fated people, the ones that did not get their chance with him were, of course, not that happy, especially those people who got rejected outrightly by Shen Tian for being 'not fated with him'. They were even more displeased after one day of exploring the Fog Plain by themselves and realizing that they indeed did not have any fortuitous opportunities.

Those people were green-eyed with envy from seeing others getting so much under Shen Tian's guidance. In addition, those people even got the supreme-grade Lightning Explosion Talismans!

That sense of unfairness eventually drove them to think maliciously of Shen Tian. Seeing that he enjoyed protection from the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's disciples, they did not dare to cause trouble for him outrightly. Nonetheless, that did not mean they could not spread spiteful comments behind his back!

"What kind of 'Master Celestial' is this dude? Didn't he say that he would not seek reimbursement for his services? Then why is he accepting gifts now?"

"Yes! And he's actually requesting half of what those fated people got, or else he will not point out their fortuitous opportunities to them. That's absolutely crap!"

"And he's saying now that there will be a drastic change to the Fog Plain, how can that be? There has been no drastic change to the Fog Plain for thousands of years!"

"I honestly think that this whole 'Master Celestial' nonsense is fake. Most probably, his real intentions are to drive us away so that he can enjoy all the fortuitous opportunities by himself!"

Meanwhile, those who benefited due to Shen Tian would defend him vehemently.

"Hellooo! When did Master Celestial request for payments of half of what we got before he pointed out our fortuitous opportunities? You are the ones talking nonsense!"

"It's out of our own initiative that we pay him half of what we got, get that clear! In fact, Master Celestial had always rejected our offerings!"

"Yes, that's it! And Master Celestial even gave us so many Lightning Explosion Talisman in return!"

"Master Celestial was using his skills in divinity to remind us to be careful. This is a great favor from him! How dare you filthy mortals make false accusations about him!?"

"Master Celestial is so hardworking and kind. Yet you ungrateful people still malign him! Did dogs eat your consciences!?"

All at once, Shen Tian's name became the most popular term at both the Fog Town and Fog City.

At the same time, Shen Tian's own providence improved tremendously with his systematic method of freeloading others' fortuitous opportunities.

The halo above his head was just a lush green shade previously. But after a day of pointing out fortuitous opportunities for others, it was turning dark green in color.

Shen Tian greatly enjoyed the sensation of feeling lighter and more comfortable as his providence improved. It was indeed wonderful carrying a green halo above his head!

As the sun began setting in, the Fog Plain's spirit fog started to gather around the Fog Town's outer edges.

But no one was worried about it.

This was because, for the thousands of years that had passed, there had never been once when the spirit fog would reach the main city's exterior vicinity during the Fog Tide Period.

Long before Fog Town was built, various cultivators had already calculated the 'absolute safe distance' for them to stay at, without being harmed by the spirit fog.

And the truth was, it was absolutely safe to stay within those calculated distances. The spirit fog stopped advancing just a few kilometers before Fog Town.

The dense, white fog was like a protective layer that covered the entire Fog Plain.

Even advanced cultivators were unable to see what was happening within the Fog Plain through the thick fog.

When looking at the tumbling fog, which stopped advancing toward them, Shen Tian still had a sense of foreboding that some calamity would happen soon.

After his day of 'business', he brought Zhang Yunxi and the rest back to Fog City. However, many other cultivators, who wanted to save on the city's entrance fees, continued staying at Fog Town.

They thought it was too pricey to enter the city every day, and they would rather stay in the small town outside of the city.

As for what 'change' that Master Celestial had warned about, only the most devoted fated people believed it.

Most of them still trusted their own experiences more than Shen Tian's words.

Yet these people failed to realize that sometimes, that supposed 'experience' would result in their deaths!

That night was the second night of the Fog Tide Period.

More people had their fill of fortuitous opportunities at the Fog Plain during this Fog Tide Period. As such, there were even more cultivators that chose to come and stay at Fog City and Fog Town this time round.

The full moon shone cold beams down on earth in the night sky, while tiny stars, which dotted the sky, flickered.

It was a quiet night.

Nobody realized that the spirit fog, which had stopped advancing, started to tumble fiercely again.

All this happened in dead silence, but its speed was even faster than previously.

In the blink of an eye, it had engulfed the whole Fog Town!

After which, it went on like waves of a tsunami and started to advance toward Fog City!

Chapter 138: Attack of the Mutated Divine Binding Vine!

At the Lunar Rainbow Inn within Fog City...

Shen Tian was meditating on his bed. He had just attained the Foundation Establishment stage, and his cultivation was not stable yet.

Nowadays, every time he ran through the whole course of the Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique, he would feel greatly enlightened and gain more from the cultivation process.

He also had better mastery over the Divine Lightning of the respective four elements—metal, wood, fire, earth—that was contained within the Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique.

This was all the more so for the Black Tortoise IX Divine Lightning, which belonged to the water element. Using this lightning skill was like using his own arm. For example, as Shen Tian raised up his right arm right now, drops of a black-colored liquid condensed and dripped down from his fingers, and these drops shimmered with lightning.

This was the exemplification of how when the IX Divine Lightning merged thoroughly with the First Essence Heavy Water—its master could wield it as he liked.

Shen Tian took out the Purple Golden Hammer and dropped the IX Divine Lightning on it.

The hammer turned pitch black in color and emitted oppressive vibes.

Shen Tian was confident that if he used this hammer in combat, every strike from it would allow him to bring down a single cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage.

This weapon could bring down even Golden Core Perfected Ones if Shen Tian crept up to them in surprise.

Given my current cultivation and providence, I bet I can hold it if there's really danger at the Fog Plain!

...Okay, maybe I am overestimating my capabilities. I should still aim for arming up myself as best as I can!

At that thought, Shen Tian took out a huge stack of Lightning Explosion Talismans from the Archeon Sea Ring and placed them in his bosom. Following which, he also took out the Lotus Shooting Gun and tied it behind his back, all ready to fire shots if danger approached.

In fact, Shen Tian was even contemplating if he should put on the Black Tortoise Armor.

But he eventually discarded that idea. After all, there wasn't any imminent danger, so there was no need to get so edgy all at once.

Besides, the armor was made from a tortoise's shell. Even though it did not look that bad after refinement, Shen Tian was still skeptical about how wearing a tortoiseshell could match his disposition.

Just when Shen Tian considered getting up to have some snacks, he heard a loud, tragic cry from outside his window.

"Ahhh! Nooo! Hel— Uhhh!"

Shen Tian perked up at that and hurriedly opened his window to check what happened.

Spirit fog had covered most of the area at Fog City's eastern gate, and several black boulders were hurled out from the spirit fog, landing on the ground with loud crashes.

These boulders contained huge power. As they crashed through the infrastructure and landed on the ground, the earth shook and was cracked. Immediately, gigantic vines sprung up from those cracks—each of those vines was at least hundreds of meters in length, and the longest among them were even thousands of meters.

To be honest, they looked more like serpents than plants!

One might have guessed what these vines were—that's right, they were the most precious specialty products at the Fog Plain, the Divine Binding Vines!

Even more shocking was the fact that these vines were not like the normal ones that one saw at the Fog Plain. They were not rooted in the ground, but instead, their roots were like tentacles, which held up their bodies' weight, allowing them to move freely wherever they wanted to go. And their movement speeds were absolutely fast. In fact, they were about on par with the cultivators who were in combat with them right now!

That cry which Shen Tian heard just now had come from one of the Golden Core cultivators, who had been fighting with the Divine Binding Vine.

Originally, he thought he was in luck for having spied such a supreme-grade Divine Binding Vine in this Fog City. But he did not see the disastrous outcome—not only was he unable to subdue the mutated vine, the vine even stuck its tentacles into his body!

Shen Tian saw clearly that when the vine stuck its tentacles into the Golden Core Perfected One's body, that person's body shriveled up swiftly. In a few breaths, that person's essence energy got sucked out. His body dried up and soon dissolved into fine powder!

These terrible Divine Binding Vines had much more vicious attacking capabilities than the ones most cultivators would come across on the Fog Plain.

Or should one say—such was the real prowess of the Divine Binding Vines. What cultivators had been seeing all along were just the 'defects' among the Divine Binding Vine species!

There's indeed danger here! Even Fog City is no longer safe!

Shen Tian's heart skipped several beats as he slid the Lotus Shooting Gun into his right hand, while his left hand took a bunch of Lightning Explosion Talismans from his bosom.

At the same time, he walked hastily toward the rooms where Eunuch Gui and the rest of his company were resting.

"There's danger, let's leave!"

Actually, Eunuch Gui and the rest had also discovered the imminent danger, and they were all rushing toward Shen Tian's room.

Zhang Yunxi looked grim as she spoke. "There's something wrong about the spirit fog!

"I have checked, and other than the western gate, all the other city gates have been surrounded by the fog.

"There's even trouble using one's divine consciousness to check out the situation in the city right now. It's also no longer safe to leave the city with the Sword Kinesis Flight skill."

After all, the Sword Kinesis Flight skill could only be activated with a stable divine consciousness and strong Dharmic powers. Only by then could one ride and maneuver safely on their swords.

If one only had Dharmic powers and did not have a strong divine consciousness to support the skill, then it would be akin to driving a car without its steering wheel—they could get into 'car-crashes' any time!

Shen Tian's brows creased up. "This spirit fog actually knew how to surround the main city and then attack the people from within. This must be an ambush planned by some powerful beings!

"Senior Sister, we have to avoid those Divine Binding Vines and get to the western gate right away!"

Shen Tian did not have plans to jump out and battle those vines. After all, he was only at the early-stage of the Foundation Establishment stage. Even if he was somewhat talented, he knew that most probably, his capabilities could only be on par with a Golden Core Perfected One.

Yet now...

Shen Tian turned his head and saw that even those Nascent Soul Supremacies were alerted.

And there were seven of them!

But much as though they were powerful, they were being trapped by all the gigantic vines.

This meant that even if Shen Tian joined the battlefield, he would probably be sucked clean of his essence energy and be defeated by those vines because they had skills that were comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator!

So the conclusion was—to just save his own neck!

Zhang Yunxi nodded in agreement with Shen Tian's words. Although it was true that she was a proud person, she was never an obstinate fool to not know when to retreat.

The Hidden Fog Country had been around for so many years, and naturally, they would have experts guarding their main city.

During such dangerous times, it was best to just take care of oneself and their accompanying friends!

Zhang Yunxi took out the White Tiger sword from behind her back and retreated with the rest toward the city's western gate.

One had to give it to Zhang Yunxi—as an expert at the Golden Core Eight Refinement Stage, she was indeed formidable. She cleared all Devine Binding Vines on the paths that the group took in their retreat, and it was so fast that one could only see greenish-black juice flying off the White Tiger sword's blade.

All the streets were in a mess after Zhang Yunxi walked past them. Meanwhile, Shen Tian was quick to react too. He took on the responsibility of picking up all the broken vines that Zhang Yunxi left behind.

Well, these are Divine Binding Vines, after all. And the kind that can walk by themselves! They are definitely the supreme-grade plants among the mutated species. Next time, I can make them into Divine Binding Ropes. Isn't that so worth it!?

Shen Tian heaved a sigh of relief upon looking at the powerful Zhang Yunxi.

It was a wise decision to bring Senior Sister Yunxi along for his experiential journey, indeed!

However, Zhang Yunxi's strength quickly attracted the attention of the most powerful vines.

In a short while, three Divine Binding Vines that were around thousands of meters in length came charging at her!

These three vines were far greater than the ones Zhang Yunxi had cut through previously. No matter in terms of their durability, flexibility, or their reactions when facing attacks, these vines were far more superior than their previous counterparts.

Also, the combination of the three vines succeeded in trapping Zhang Yunxi's advancement.

At the same time, several Divine Binding Vines that were hundreds of meters in length started to attack Shen Tian and the rest!

The situation took a turn for the worst.

Chapter 139: Human, I'll Suck You Dry!

"Damn it. I'll show you my power!"

Qin Yundi's narrow eyes were cold as he manipulated 36 Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Guns.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The custom-made iron bullets were shot in all directions like torrential rain, and juices out of the Divine Binding Vines.

At the same time, Zhang Yunxi's enraged voice resounded. "Qin Yundi, aim more accurately!"

Roar!

The White Tiger avatar's roar caused even the sky to tremble as it blocked two iron bullets.

Qin Yundi's divine consciousness going out of control affected his accuracy, decreasing to a great extent. He had fired blindly and nearly injured Zhang Yunxi by mistake.

As Shen Tian saw more and more spirit fog permeating Fog City, he frowned.

"Junior Brother Yundi, don't use your divine consciousness to control the Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Gun anymore. Hold it in your hands directly and use them in succession.

"Otherwise, if your divine consciousness is unable to accurately control them, it might hurt yourself or us. It's too dangerous."

Qin Yundi seemed to be deep in thought before giving 18 Demon-Penetrating Guns to Xiong Meng and the others.

"Each of you take three. Protect yourselves with these and remember to give them back after we return."

Subsequently, Qin Yundi gave another eight Demon-Penetrating Guns to Shen Tian. "Senior Brother, 10 are enough for me."

Shen Tian did not refuse and put away the eight Demon-Penetrating Guns into his Archeon Sea Ring. "Everyone, try to stay together. Don't separate."

Currently, the spirit fog's density was already quite high, so one's field of vision decreased greatly. Once they were separated, it would be difficult for their companions to find them.

In fact, after Zhang Yunxi began battling with three Divine Binding Vines, she had already barged into the spirit fog and lost all traces of the others.

Honestly speaking, Shen Tian was a little nervous without Zhang Yunxi's protection. He was not too worried about her safety as she possessed a golden halo, meaning it was difficult for her to die even if she wanted.

Shen Tian was worried about himself—his dark green halo might not be enough to pass this ordeal!

Now they could only quickly form a circle and head toward the western gates as fast as possible to escape from the spirit fog.

They rushed toward the western gates at full speed, with Demon-Penetrating Guns in hand. They would shoot simultaneously the instant they encountered Divine Binding Vines.

For a while, there was no Divine Binding Vine that was able to endure the simultaneous attack of that many people, so it could be said that they were temporarily safe.

When the western gate was within sight, a tragic scream suddenly echoed from there. Just as a Golden Core cultivator took half a step out of the western gate, a greenish-black huge vine pierced through his chest.

Fresh blood oozed out of the cultivator's chest, and immediately after, the cultivator's body started withering at speed visible to the naked eye.

Although the spirit fog had spread from the east and had yet to surround the western gate, the mastermind that had deviously orchestrated the whole thing did not plan to let anyone escape from the very start. They had already made ample preparations.

Bang!

Divine Binding Vines as tall as 300 meters had risen straight from the ground. They were actually three Nascent Soul Divine Binding Vines!

At the same time, the spreading spirit fog had also neared Fog City's western gate. Their last hope of escape had been blocked, and everyone was completely trapped in the huge Fog City.

In an instant, tragic screams and cries of despair resounded everywhere in Fog City.

Shen Tian frowned, but he did not despair—that was because he had seen Fog City in Fang Chang's halo!

Although the Fog City of that scene looked relatively desolate, the city was not completely dead. In other words, this was not an absolutely hopeless situation, and it could turn for the better. Thus, they just had to endure until that turning point appeared.

At that thought, Shen Tian said calmly, "Don't be afraid! There's a defensive array formation in the Lunar Rainbow Inn. Follow me there!"

Upon seeing the calm and unfazed Shen Tian, Qin Yundi and the others couldn't help but admire him for not panicking.

Master Celestial/Senior Brother is truly worthy of being Master Celestial/the Saint! From his composure in this kind of situation, everything must be under his control.

One has to say, there's really a sense of security when Master Celestial/Senior Brother is here!

Shen Tian did not know what they were thinking and had no time to guess.

In reality, the spirit fog had enshrouded the entire Fog City and seemed to have the effects of causing illusions. One might feel that they were advancing forward, but they might have already deviated and kept on walking in circles in reality.

Under such circumstances, returning to the Lunar Rainbow Inn was definitely not a simple task.

At that moment, a huge greenish-black stone was about to collide with them.

Shen Tian's expression changed, and he hurriedly dodged to the side.

Boom!

A huge hole appeared in front of Shen Tian and the others. Then, the greenish-black stone started to crack open gradually. Evidently, a Nascent Soul Divine Binding Vine in that stone, its power mighty.

The speed at which the greenish-black stone cracked open was extremely fast, and drops of juices flowed out.

The huge vine had already locked on them, which was no different than a great catastrophe!

"Taking so long to transform, huh? See how I interrupt your transformation!"

Shen Tian immediately took out hundreds of Yin-Yang Lightning Explosion Talismans and threw them into the stone's cracks. Thereafter, he took the Black Tortoise Armor and Black Tortoise Shield out of his Archeon Sea Ring, directly equipping them.

He appeared in front of everyone while wearing the thick and heavy Black Tortoise Armor, which increased his defensive abilities to the maximum.

In the next instant, Shen Tian detonated the Yin-Yang Lightning Explosion Talismans.

Boom!

The powerful explosive wave even blew away the houses' rooftops in the vicinity. The deafening explosion sound was like the sound of thunder in a clear sky.

The greenish-black juice fell from the sky like rain, splashing everyone from head to toe.

Fortunately, the explosion talismans only exploded after being stuffed into the Divine Binding Vine stone, so aftershock was not that powerful.

Due to the Black Tortoise Armor and Black Tortoise Shield, Shen Tian basically endured the impact with zero damage.

Unfortunately, even though the hundreds of Lightning Explosion Talismans exploded the Divine Binding Vine, they were not enough to kill it.

After that terrifying explosion, the vine had already locked and focused on Shen Tian.

Meanwhile, the explosion's blast had blown away Eunuch Gui and the others. In other words... Shen Tian was on his own!

His expression gradually froze upon noticing that the Divine Binding Vine had successfully transformed.

I was wrong! I should not have come here from the start!

Shen Tian's mouth twitched.

I did not keep a low enough profile!

Is it because the Heavenly Dao is too eager to kill me, or did I become too conceited?

I actually dared to snatch the fortuitous opportunity from Fang Chang, whose providence is that high?

Now I have to face the consequences—a calamity that could obliterate the city!

Although I know that this calamity will not annihilate the entire city, and Zhang Yunxi and Qin Yundi will be able to survive due to their luck, it might be impossible for me. I am obviously not green enough!

Sigh... If I have a second chance, I definitely won't do it again!

Shen Tian started to mumble to himself. Even though this Nascent Soul Divine Binding Vine did not know what Shen Tian was saying, it knew this small being had to die!

Its 300-meter-long body soared into the sky and suddenly pounced toward Shen Tian. In the middle of its body was a hideous injury that had nearly sliced its body in half.

Even so, that Divine Binding Vine had the confidence to entangle this small being.

It wanted to pierce its thick and large roots into that small being's mouth and make it experience utter misery, being neither able to live or die!

It would then devour every drop of essence energy in his body into its body, using his flesh and blood to restore the damage he had caused.

It wanted to suck this human dry!

Chapter 140: Wow, Tastes Quite Good!

The explosion's blast had already blown away Qin Yundi and the others into the thick spirit fog.

Frankly speaking, Shen Tian was panicking as he had to face the fearsome Divine Binding Vine alone.

Upon seeing the Divine Binding Vine moving closer and closer to him, the more frightened he became.

Meanwhile, the Divine Binding Vine seemed to be extremely excited. It squirmed its roots and headed nearer and nearer to Shen Tian.

Tiny human, why aren't you running? Why aren't you struggling? Scream in fear!

Juices dripped from the Divine Binding Vine's wound, but as more and more juices were secreted, the Divine Binding Vine's wound was healing.

Of course, because Shen Tian's explosion attack had badly wounded it, to the point it was almost sliced in half, its recovery rate was quite slow.

However, that was of no importance as its injury could heal sooner or later. What it had to do first was to suck this presumptuous tiny human dry.

As the Divine Binding Vine got closer to Shen Tian, it gradually discovered that this tiny human seemed to have given up on resisting.

That's right. This should be the case! Don't resist. Let me suck you dry!

The Divine Binding Vine wriggled its body, and a vine, which was as thick as one's arm, was split from its huge torso, piercing toward Shen Tian crazily.

At that moment, Shen Tian sighed, and a silver token suddenly floated in front of it. The entire token emitted an explosively radiant sword aura, and a stalwart figure appeared behind Shen Tian. He wore sackcloth and was holding a huge black sword in his hand. He seemed to be extremely powerful.

That figure pulled out his sword while facing the Divine Binding Vine's attack. His sword seemed to have transmigrated through space—it looked extremely slow but unable to be dodged.

The sword aura pierced through space and lightly sliced the Divine Binding Vine's torso, continuing to slice through its hideous injury.

Clang!

The huge black sword returned to its sheath, and the phantom turned faint, hiding back into the silver token.

The 300-meter-long vine was sliced into two all of a sudden, and its juices gushed out of its wound. The huge vine smashed down from the air and crushed a house into ruins, while dust filled the air at that moment.

"Such a fearsome Divine Binding Vine! If it were not for the Sword Master Token, it would really be dangerous this time."

Shen Tian put away the Sword Master Token into his Archeon Sea Ring and let it crazily absorb Spirit Stones to recover.

Currently, only the Sword Master Token could give him a sense of security in such a situation.

Shen Tian glanced at the Divine Binding Vine, which was still slowly wriggling its body, and attacked it with tens of Yin-Yang Penetrating Divine Lightnings.

The originally heavily-injured Divine Binding Vine was instantly filled with even more injuries and gradually was unable to struggle.

Such a frightening Divine Binding Vine! I respect you as the strongest amongst all my enemies.

Shen Tian exclaimed in his heart. For human cultivators, when a Divine Binding Vine, whose vitality was already extremely tenacious, obtained the ability to walk freely, it would really be a disaster.

If it were not for Shen Tian being determined and desperately resisting, he might have really lost to the Nascent Soul Divine Binding Vine in this life-and-death battle.

Rest in peace, viney! Although you died, I will refine you into a supreme-grade Divine Binding Rope and let you stay with me.

You shall become my medal of glory!

Shen Tian used his Archeon Sea Ring and tried to stuff the vines and roots of the humongous Divine Binding Vine into it.

It was fortunate that the space within the Archeon Sea Ring, which Spirit Venerable Divine Water had left, was large enough to be able to completely contain it. If it were the interspatial rings of other cultivators, not even 1/3 could be stored into the ring even if it was filled to the brim.

Shen Tian roughly calculated, including the Golden Core Divine Binding Vine that Zhang Yunxi had chopped off and the Nascent Soul Divine Binding Vine he had now, there were almost 10 Divine Binding Vines inside his Archeon Sea Ring.

Also, each vine was supreme-grade, especially that mutated Nascent Soul Divine Binding Vine. It was even more valuable than the one Zhang Yunxi had sliced back in the Fog Plain. If it were to be sold on the market, its price would be beyond measurement.

Whoosh!

After spending much effort, Shen Tian finally stored the humongous Divine Binding Vine into his Archeon Sea Ring completely.

Meanwhile, at that moment, the spirit fog completely permeated the whole city. It was not as exaggerated as being unable to see one's hands, which were stretched out, but it was already difficult to differentiate one's gender beyond three steps away.

Suddenly, a vine shot out of the fog, tightly wrapping around the Lotus Shooting Gun Shen Tian had in his hands. At the same time, another vine crawled out of the ground and entangled Shen Tian's thigh in the blink of an eye.

Shen Tian could only feel the vine's pulling force before he was pulled in the air, unable to keep his balance at all.

Shen Tian's expression changed. He hurriedly took out his Lightning Explosion Talismans and detonated them as he threw them toward the Divine Binding Vine. He also poured the Divinity within him into his Black Tortoise Armor like crazy and activated it.

In an instant, a small Black Tortoise the size of a bathtub was formed on top of his head, giving off a faint domineering aura. The Black Tortoise Armor on him emitted a faint light, and a black protective barrier was formed on the surface of Shen Tian's body.

Boom!

The Lightning Explosion Talismans exploded, but their destructive power was not very effective against this Divine Binding Vine. Well, these were just the Yin-Yang Lightning Explosion Talismans, not the Yin-Yang Penetrating Divine Lightnings or Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Gun.

They were too weak against a Golden Core Divine Binding Vine.

On the other hand, the Black Tortoise Armor's defensive capabilities, which the Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader had given Shen Tian, gave Shen Tian an unexpected surprise.

He could evidently feel that after the Black Tortoise Armor's protective barrier appeared, the vine that was binding his hands and legs was much looser.

However, this was far from enough as the Golden Core Divine Binding Vine, which was attacking him, was not only one, but a total of two, attacking together.

Although after the Black Tortoise Armor released a protective barrier for Shen Tian, the two vines' attacks were unable to break through its defense, Shen Tian's Divinity was limited.

Even if Shen Tian could absorb Spirit Stones to recover, he couldn't activate a Dharma artifact forever.

Not to mention those two Divine Binding Vine had covered Shen Tian's protective barrier completely, like a rice dumpling. Even if Shen Tian took Spirit Stones out of his Archeon Sea Ring to recover his consumption, he could only last a little longer.

If he relied only on the Black Tortoise Armor, it would be impossible for him to escape the Divine Binding Vines' binds.

Upon seeing the vines that continued squirming outside the protective barrier, Shen Tian started racking his brain.

How can I escape, how can I escape, or last until reinforcements arrive? This is just too difficult!

Suddenly, Shen Tian felt that his Tinder Sutra started to become restless. He looked at the greenish-black Divine Binding Vines, which were wriggling outside the protective barrier, and he actually...

Shock!

Currently, Shen Tian was actually salivating as he looked at the two Golden Core Divine Binding Vines outside the protective barrier. He felt that the two vines seemed to have turned into two deep-fried dough sticks, spicy glutton snack, or sugarcanes.

They emitted a faint fragrance that made every single cell in Shen Tian's body desire them.

When he realized he had such thoughts, Shen Tian was completely dumbfounded.

WTF!? As a Chinese foodie, how could I take a liking to such an ingredient?

Not to mention others, just their appearance can't make me take a bite, okay!?

Wait! Why do I think this is an ingredient?

It's supposed to be a fearsome vine monster, okay!?

Shen Tian's emotions were fluctuating crazily. After a long while, he finally overcame the discomfort in his heart.

Hmph... Since you Divine Binding Vines can suck me, why can't I do the same?

Anyway, I'm already tied up. If you don't let me go, I'll bite you to death!

At that thought, Shen Tian looked at the Divine Binding Vines outside the protective barrier... He closed his eyes, grabbed a vine, and bit down with all his strength!

Originally, Shen Tian thought its juices would be extremely bitter and make one vomit. Nonetheless, in the instant he bit into it, the plump vine juice exploded within his mouth.

Ssss~!

Shen Tian had never thought that the vines' taste would actually be sweet and sour. He widened his eyes.

"Wow, it tastes quite good!"

Immediately after, Shen Tian started sucking like a madman!

Chapter 141: Mother Vine, You're Worthy To Be My Concubine

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As Shen Tian crazily sucked the juices, his Tinder Sutra circulated at high speed. Before the juices he swallowed could fill up his stomach, they were rapidly refined and absorbed cleanly.

Shen Tian could feel pure energy pouring into his whole body's cells and muscles and replenishing them.

In an instant, all of his fatigue faded. More importantly, after devouring a huge portion of the Divine Binding Vine's juices, Shen Tian could gradually sense a quite drastic change taking place within his body.

At the same time, the spirit fog's influence toward his divine consciousness decreased slightly, while his sense of sight also recovered significantly.

Originally, Shen Tian was unable to see further than 10 meters, but now, he was able to see up to 20 meters.

Is it possible that the Divine Binding Vine's juice is the spirit fog's nemesis?

Shen Tian was elated and continued sucking the Divine Binding Vine with even more strength.

In an instant, the Divine Binding Vine shrank at speed visible to the naked eye. What was more miraculous was that the Divine Binding Vine was unable to break free from Shen Tian's sucking force.

It could only watch Shen Tian suck it dry and become an empty shell.

"Burp~"

After about five minutes, Shen Tian burped.

The Divine Binding Vine had been sucked dry, and only its empty shell was left on the ground.

It had never imagined that a human would actually suck it to death. Had it a second chance, it would definitely not provoke such a monster!

"Such delicious Divine Binding Vine! I respect you as the sweetest amongst all my enemies."

Shen Tian licked clean the last drop of juice on the corner of his mouth. Its taste was like a vegetable salad—sour and sweet with the fragrance of grass and trees.

One had to say, although the juice's appearance was unappealing, it tasted really good.

After storing the Divine Binding Vine's empty shell into his Archeon Sea Ring, Shen Tian turned to look at the other Divine Binding Vine.

The other Divine Binding Vine instantly trembled vigorously, spread out the lower half of its body, the roots, and escaped toward the spirit fog.

Save me! Someone wants to eat vines!

Shen Tian grinned.

Who told you not to listen when I told you not to provoke me? Binding me up? Now it's already too late to think of escaping! Just obediently, let me eat you and give me all of your essences!

Shen Tian retrieved the originally bound Lotus Shooting Gun back into his hands. He snorted and shouted loudly, "Black Rhino Armor!"

After sucking dry the Divine Binding Vine's juices, Shen Tian felt that his condition could not be better. His Divinity, which had been consumed earlier, had already recovered, while his dantian was filled to the brim.

Currently, Shen Tian was in a hurry for a hearty battle so that he could vent the excess energy in his body.

The cool black Divine Lightning armor covered Shen Tian's body, making him seem as mighty as an invincible general that descended from the sky. He gradually lifted the Lotus Shooting Gun in his hand, and the Black Tortoise IX Divine Lightning slowly enveloped the Lotus Shooting Gun.

"Decimate my opponents with the relentless force of a raging waterfall1, see my Maelstrom Spear2!"

At that moment, a powerful lightning aura enveloped Shen Tian's whole body.

The Black Rhino Armor enveloped Shen Tian's body, covering the Black Tortoise Armor's appearance completely. Besides Shen Tian, no one else knew he wore the Black Tortoise Armor underneath.

You've actually forced me to use my last resort! You're quite powerful!

However, it's time for you to surrender!

Shen Tian chased after that Divine Binding Vine swiftly. Under the Black Tortoise Armor and Black Rhino Armor protection, even a Golden Core Divine Binding Vine was unable to break through his defenses.

Since you can't break through my defenses, then it's my turn to beat you up. I'll definitely eat you up!

An extremely strange scene appeared within the spirit fog.

In the other places of Fog City, the cultivators stayed within a defensive barrier, carefully guarding against the concealed Divine Binding Vines.

Meanwhile, Shen Tian, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, was chasing a Golden Core Divine Binding Vine, and his eyes were also shining.

That Golden Core Divine Binding Vine was almost stunned from shock.

Didn't the Mother Vine say we'd be the hunters? How come there's such a frightening human in Fog City that actually dares to suck us instead!? Help! Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, I'm about to die!

That Divine Binding Vine used its roots to take seductive steps as it ran for its life in front.

Shen Tian in the Black Rhino Armor held the Maelstrom Spear in his hand and chased the Divine Binding Vine. At that moment, he felt like a deity that had descended, and killing the Divine Binding Vine was as simple as killing an ant!

"Foul beast, you dare to commit crimes and harm human lives, today I'll...

"Teach you a lesson! I'll forget about it this time. You must be obedient the next time.

"F*ck, I've already said I'll forget it this time. How could you ambush me? Ganging up on me? Shameless!

"It's you who has forced me! Black Rhino Armor dismantle, Black Tortoise IX Armor, fusion!"

Black lightning filled Shen Tian's entire body, as divine lightning gathered to form another layer of extremely pure Black Tortoise Armor.

The double defense protected him as he... ran toward the opposite direction!

Nine Divine Binding Vines, which were hundreds of meters long, were chasing after him. The Divine Binding Vine that was originally frightened to death was extremely joyful now.

Shen Tian was in a panic this time.

F*ck! Aren't I not black anymore?

My halo is already this green, so why would I still attract so many of them at once!?

Logically speaking, I'm only in the Foundation Establishment stage, so it's already excessive for a Golden Core Divine Binding Vine to come after me, not to mention nine of them!

Did the freaking aggro system break down!?

Upon sensing the nine powerful auras behind him, Shen Tian unleashed the positioning prejudgment technique he had obtained from playing Honor of Kings in his previous life to the extreme.

Spin, jump, block, occasionally turn back, and attack!

After a minute, the Divine Binding Vines wrapped his Black Tortoise Armor tightly as if it was a rice dumpling.

Although Shen Tian wanted to continue biting the Divine Binding Vines and suck them dry one by one, they seemed to be prepared and did not give him such a chance at all.

When Shen Tian opened his mouth to bite, the other eight outside of the Black Tortoise Armor fell in formation. As long as he dared to extend his head out of the Black Tortoise Armor, they would whip him with the vines.

One had to say that such a shameless tactic rendered Shen Tian unable to do anything. He was extremely upset.

Sigh... I was really too impulsive just now. I did not resist the delicious vines' temptation and was not cautious enough!

I'm surrounded by Golden Core Divine Binding Vines completely now.

If there is a next time, I definitely won't do it again!

Shen Tian could only absorb Spirit Stones to keep his shield up and try his best to last. When the chance in the fortuitous opportunity scene arrived, then he would get out of this predicament and be safe.

Just when Shen Tian tried his best to absorb the Spirit Stones to block the Divine Binding Vines' whips, a woman's flirtatious voice echoed among the Divine Binding Vines.

"Who would have thought that there was such an exceedingly handsome young man in Fog City!? Haha, he's worthy enough for me as his extraordinary appearance is no different than a revered immortal's.

"Children, bring him back. After I transcend the tribulation and enter the Saint realm, I'll grant him the title of my Holy Concubine.

"I'll possess him, whip him, and suck him dry."

When Shen Tian heard the first half, he heaved a sigh of relief. However, his face darkened due to the second half.

This is your attitude after seeing a handsome man?

Forget the possessing, what's with the whipping? What's even worse is after possessing and whipping, you want to suck me dry? It's too much! It's simply ruthless and heartless!'

Indeed, a demon is a demon. It has no humanity.

Help, someone, save me!'

There's a licentious thousand-year demon after an underage boy!

Chapter 142: Last Till Master Celestial Turn The Tide

At Fog City, Hidden Fog Country's royal palace...

The huge array formation covering the whole palace was trembling non-stop.

Over ten 300-meter-long Divine Binding Vines were crazily whipping the array formation.

Numerous cultivators were standing within the array formation, and despair was written all over their faces as they raised their heads to look at the Divine Binding Vines.

Back when they had been heading the Fog Plain in search of treasures, in all those cultivators' minds, the Divine Binding Vines had been heaven-sent fortuitous opportunities. Every Divine Binding Vine counted as a supreme-grade treasure of the same stage, and it could be sold at an exorbitant price after being refined into a Divine Binding Rope.

Most importantly, if one encountered Divine Binding Vines in the wild, it would not matter whether one was no match for it as they just had to leave the Divine Binding Vine's attacking range.

However, today, as the Divine Binding Vine seeds smashed into Fog City, everything overturned everyone's imagination.

Nascent Soul Divine Binding Vines—something one might see once in hundreds of years—appeared this time and over 10 of them at that.

In addition, each Nascent Soul Divine Binding Vine's battle prowess outmatched a normal Nascent Soul cultivator's by far. The Nascent Soul cultivators in the Hidden Fog Country's royal palace also felt that they were no match for them.

If it weren't for the Divine Firmament Saintess' help at the crucial moment, the whole palace would most probably be in danger by now.

The Hidden Fog Country's king also stood among the crowd, and his body was trembling uncontrollably.

Sain... Saintess. The Fog Plain has been stable and normal these thousands of years, but why did such a fearsome change occur during this Fog Tide Period?"

Zhang Yunxi shook her head calmly. "I also don't know, but what I can confirm is that someone is definitely manipulating these Divine Binding Vines behind the scenes."

As she spoke, she looked toward the thick spirit fog solemnly.

I wonder if Junior Brother has escaped safely.

The king of the Hidden Fog Country wanted to continue asking, but Zhang Yunxi directly interrupted him.

"The Hidden Fog Country's array formation is unable to last for very long." She took out many array disks from her interspatial ring. "I need the cooperation of all Supremacies and Perfected Ones. Only by concentrating everyone's power to set a Divine Firmament's Lightning Protective Array can we have a ray of hope of survival."

Zhang Yunxi quickly placed the array disks within each corner of the palace and instructed the many Supremacies and Perfected Ones to join hands and set up the array.

At the same time, she wished for Shen Tian's well-being in her heart.

Junior Brother, you must last, I'll come to find you quickly!

On the other side, Qin Yundi, Qin Gao, and the others had also found shelter in the palace. That was because they had a large number of Lightning Explosion Talismans and Demon-Penetrating Guns to clear the way. As such, they were not seriously injured.

At the same time, they stood together with many cultivators, who had escaped by the skin of one's teeth, absorbing Spirit Stones and resting. Among those cultivators, many were crying. They were jubilant over being able to escape death.

Although it was said that cultivators were indifferent, that was only toward mortals, just like a lion would ignore the emotions of rabbits.

Nonetheless, when they themselves experienced the life-or-death test, few cultivators could stay indifferent—they were mostly no different from ordinary people.

Now that they escaped with their lives, many of them recalled the rumors going around in the city these two days.

In the rumors, that so-called Master Celestial, who could see the future, had already predicted this. He had said that Fog City would undergo a drastic change shortly and had advised every fated person to leave this place.

Unfortunately, everyone had been blinded by the greed of the so-called "opportunities" and basically had not left very far. Even if a part half-believed, half-doubted Master Celestial, they had only left Fog Town and retreated to Fog City.

Plenty of people had even been spreading rumors about Master Celestial, saying he had been planning to take a fortuitous opportunity all to himself.

However, facts proved that a fearsome calamity had indeed befallen the Fog Plain.

Fog Town's cultivators had long been wiped out, while the ones in Fog City were completely surrounded.

In but an instant, countless people felt regretful—they regretted not listening and leaving back then!

A few cultivators among the crowd looked at the remaining Lightning Explosion Talismans in their hands and started tearing up. They were all fated people that had put their trust in Shen Tian and had used half of their fortuitous opportunities in exchange for Lightning Explosion Talismans.

As a result, they had used the Lightning Explosion Talismans to explode their way to escape while facing those Divine Binding Vines during the earlier chaotic period. Although they had not killed those Divine Binding Vines, the large amount of Lightning Explosion Talismans still slowed down the Divine Binding Vines' chase.

Sometimes, such a short delay was the critical factor that decided one's life or death. In the end, these fated people successfully escaped into the Hidden Fog Country's royal palace and temporarily survived safely. To them, Master Celestial was already their benefactor!

At the same time, the mysterious Master Celestial had also become their last glimmer of hope.

"I thank Master Celestial for giving me the talismans. If not for Master Celestial's warning and his talismans, I would have already died by now."

"Master Celestial had looked into the future and warned us to save our lives, but we did not believe him."

"We really deserve to die! Master Celestial did not hesitate to endure the Heavenly Dao's backlash for us to have a chance of survival. His actions could move even the heavens!"

"Master Celestial, we know that we're wrong! Please, help us kill these demons! I still have an 80-year-old mother back at home!"

"Brother Song, Brother Liu, Brother Zhen, Brother Xiong, aren't you the seniors of our Favored Ones group? Do you know where Master Celestial is?"

Shopkeeper Song and others felt anxious upon hearing everyone's questions.

Could they tell these fellows that they had already gotten separated from Master Celestial?

Fortunately, Zhang Yunxi, in her White Tiger Clear Light Armor Suit and with her White Tiger Sword in hand, walked toward them coldly.

She emitted a powerful aura and said calmly, "Master Celestial has already headed into the depths of the Fog Plain alone.

"I believe you've already realized that there's definitely a mastermind manipulating everything from behind the scenes. Thus, Master Celestial has already headed there to fight with the mastermind.

"Now that it has come to this, we need to believe in Master Celestial and guard this palace, the last safe place, properly. Whoever doesn't want to die, pluck up your courage and try your best to help me to set up the array formation!"

One had to admit that Zhang Yunxi was indeed an independent female warrior. Not only was she powerful, but she was also proficient in commanding subordinates.

When facing fearsome dangers, the most important thing was to ensure morale stability. Only with morale stability could everyone's strength be gathered to form a miracle. Otherwise, once emotions, such as despair and fear, exploded within people, it would only result in death.

Although Zhang Yunxi did not know where Shen Tian was, she had to use Shen Tian as the mainstay to pull everyone together.

True enough, her words indeed helped many cultivators, who were shivering from fear, to calm down. They stopped recalling the tragic sight of the cultivators whose essence energy had been sucked dry and overcame the fear of death.

That's right! Master Celestial, who had no need to take the risk, was also battling now. So, how could they directly give up on resisting!?

They had to last—their defense line could definitely not be breached!

They only had to wait until Master Celestial annihilated the demon behind everything, then they could survive!

Once the desire for survival took root within their hearts, all the cultivators recollected themselves and surpassed their limits, unleashing more power.

That was the potential of humans!

Unbeknownst to them, Master Celestial, their pillar, was indeed in the Fog Plain's depths. However, it was not for saving everyone or something like killing some shockingly powerful demon.

Nine Divine Binding Vines had him wrapped like a rice dumpling instead... And, they awaited to offer him to the Mother Vine as a male concubine.

He was currently like a cat on a hot tin roof!

Chapter 143: Godfiend Body Tempering, Transcendence Stage

The thick spirit fog enshrouded every nook and cranny of the Fog Plain, and silence prevailed everywhere.

Meanwhile, four Divine Binding Vine dashed through the plains seductively as if their lives depended on it. Two Divine Binding Vines in front leading the way, the other two Divine Binding Vines followed behind; they were using their vines to weave a cage.

The person locked up in that cage was none other than Shen Tian, who was wearing his Black Tortoise Armor, as well as an additional layer of Black Tortoise Armor—his defensive capabilities were unmatched.

Although an immovable and indestructible armor protected him and these Divine Binding Vines were unable to do anything to him temporarily, Shen Tian was still in a panicked state.

The vines wanted to bring him to the mastermind manipulating them—the old female demon that called herself the Mother Vine. It was an existence that could casually send out over ten mutated Nascent Soul Divine Binding Vines, and its cultivation level was unfathomable.

If they really handed him to the Mother Vine, his Black Tortoise Armors would not stand a chance before it!

No, I cannot just sit and wait for my doom! I must overcome this predicament!

Shen Tian observed the vine cage weaved by thick and large vines, and he suddenly thought of a solution.

The Divine Binding Vine was widely known as an extremely tough plant; it was difficult for even superior-grade Dharma artifacts to chop off the vines.

The powerful weapons Shen Tian carried on his person were only the Lotus Shooting Gun, Purple Golden Hammer, Sword Master Token, and Jade Water Sword.

Previously, Shen Tian had obtained a long whip in the Celestial Water Immortal Abode, but as the grade was too high, Shen Tian was unable to use it until now. Thus, to Shen Tian, the practical use of that whip was not high, at least not as useful as Dharma artifacts like Purple Golden Hammer.

"To chop off these vines, I need to use a sharp weapon, so the Purple Golden Hammer does not fulfill the requirement. The Lotus Shooting Gun is a middle-grade spirit artifact, but it's a pity that it's more suitable for charging and piercing, instead of slashing or chopping."

Shen Tian seemed to be deep in thought. "So, the most suitable for slashing the Divine Binding Vine is still the Jade Water Sword that Lian'er gifted me."

Shen Tian put his thought into action, so he pulled out the Jade Water Sword and slashed toward that vine cage suddenly—the blade looked just like blue water as it was swung.

Clang!

The Jade Water Sword slashed deeply into one of the Divine Binding Vines, but it was unable to continue once it was halfway through. At the same time, the Divine Binding Vine was extremely flexible, and just when Shen Tian was prepared to pull out the sword, he realized that it was tightly stuck!

If he did not pull his sword back and retreat into his Black Tortoise barrier in time, the Divine Binding Vines might snatch his Jade Water Sword.

Shen Tian's attacks made Divine Binding Vines' binding tighter, and Divine Emblems started to appear on the vines' surfaces.

Those Divine Emblems were the Divine Binding Vines' innate talent, as well as their energy circuit route, which allowed their bodies to become even tougher. It was because the vines had the Divine Emblems' protection that even the Jade Water Sword was unable to slice through its body.

Seeing that his all-out attack did not work, Shen Tian could not help but frown.

These demons are too troublesome to deal with. What should I do? What can I do to strengthen the Jade Water Sword's power?

If the Sword Master Token could still be used, Shen Tian would not be this worried as he could escape with just the slash of a sword. Unfortunately, when facing that Nascent Soul Divine Binding Vine, Shen Tian had already used the Sword Master Token once.

The Sword Master Token was still absorbing the Spirit Stones to replenish and store energy. At least another two hours were needed before its cooldown ended.

The problem was that what if two hours later they had already moved him where the Mother Vine was? By then, even the Sword Master Token would be useless!

Suddenly, Shen Tian recalled a previous thought, which led to a bright idea.

In the 21st century, humanity had developed an extremely fearsome cutting tool—the water jet cutter!

The principle behind it was to apply ultra-high pressure to water, then release the water through an extremely small nozzle to form a rapid water flow. Although the water flow's speed was so fast that the amount of kinetic energy needed was astonishing, it could easily slice through bluestone and steel.

Back when Shen Tian had obtained the First Essence Heavy Water, he had thought of forming it into the shape of a longsword. Although its speed might not be extremely fast, its high mass would make it fearsome, nonetheless.

Shen Tian had discovered that the difficulty of shaping the First Essence Heavy Water into such a meticulous weapon was just too high.

On the other hand, it was extremely easy to attach the First Essence Heavy Water onto the Purple Golden Hammer's surface and simply enhance its heavy strikes.

That was also the reason Shen Tian had chosen to use the Purple Golden Hammer when researching his killer move.

However, Shen Tian now had to break through his own limits while facing the vine cage. Only by successfully attaching the First Essence Heavy Water onto the Jade Water Sword's blade could he have a chance to escape!

Shen Tian took a deep breath and patted his kidney slightly, mobilizing quite the amount of First Essence Heavy Water. He tried his best to attach the First Essence Heavy Water onto the Jade Water Sword's blade and suppressed it into the thinnest state.

Nevertheless, no matter how he tried, he was unable to successfully form the Jake Water Sword's blade's sharpness. There seemed to be a barrier that was stopping Shen Tian from reaching such a realm.

Just what did he lack?

Shen Tian frowned.

Why do I feel that the First Essence Heavy Water is not this obedient now?

The First Essence Heavy Water was crazily attracted to him and had merged with him when he had first encountered it. But even after such a long time, he was still unable to perfectly control the First Essence Heavy Water.

Wait a second!

Shen Tian was suddenly enlightened.

He recalled that when he had circulated the Lightning Emperor Body Tempering Art, the First Essence Heavy Water had immediately caused an uprising. Only after changing back to the Tinder Body-Tempering Art did the First Essence Heavy Water calm down.

That was to say, the Tinder Sutra could subdue the First Essence Heavy Water!

As such, if he cultivated the Tinder Sutra and officially broke through the Body Tempering stage, wouldn't his control over the First Essence Heavy Water increase greatly?

Shen Tian believed that his speculation was highly possible.

Since the demons have already trapped me, rather than just sitting and doing nothing, why not take a chance?

At that thought, Shen Tian took bags of Spirit Stones out of his Archeon Sea Ring and started devouring Spirit Qi crazily. At the same time, he took out Divine Binding Vines and started sucking their juices that were filled with rich energy.

Shen Tian's body instincts screamed at him that sucking those Divine Binding Vine's juices would be advantageous to his breakthrough!

The Spirit Stones turned into powder one by one, while the Divine Binding Vines were sucked dry of their Spirit Qi until only their empty shells remained. All the cells and acupoints in his whole body were resonating as if undergoing the transition of the energy.

Shen Tian could feel that his physical body had been strengthened to the maximum. The Qi and blood in his body were like mercury, letting out rumbling sounds when moving around, like that of a huge surging river.

His muscles, veins, and nerves were all trembling vigorously, powerful and dynamic. It was as if a fierce tiger was in his heart, roaring at the forest.

Shen Tian took a deep breath as his body was emitting a red Qi aura.

That was the Body Tempering Qi Aura, the sign of one breaking through the Body Tempering stage and almost entering the Transcendence stage!

Only by refining one's physical body to the extreme could one gather and form pure aura essence energy.

This Qi Aura had the feature of "extreme firmness and Yang", and it was the nemesis of all kinds of demons and heretics.

If Foundation Establishment was the first step Qi Refinement cultivators took toward cultivation to immortality, then the Transcendence stage was the turning point of Godfiend Body Tempering.

Only by forming Body Tempering Qi Aura could one be counted as a real Godfiend Body Tempering cultivator.

At that moment, Shen Tian broke through to such a stage and entered a whole new world.

Qi Aura could now refine his body, strengthening it and allowing it to transcend the mundane. Thus, this stage's name—Transcendence!

Chapter 144: Eat You All Up!

Shen Tian's long-accumulated spur pierced through his bottleneck, and he felt as if unlimited potential was unleashed throughout his body, surging like a river.

Meanwhile, Shen Tian's body emitted more and more crimson red Body Tempering Qi Aura like a fiery flame. Shen Tian's Qi was so turbulent and potent that his Tinder Sutra converted to Body Tempering Qi Aura using his.

Being able to form such Body Tempering Qi Aura meant that Godfiend Body Tempering cultivators also had means of long-range attacks.

Although it could not be compared to Foundation Establishment cultivators controlling flying swords that could kill enemies a hundred steps away, they would be invincible within a 10-meter radius as they could control their Qi Aura freely.

This was Godfiend cultivators' real extraordinary method of attack!

The flame-like Qi Aura enveloping Shen Tian's body continued to turn thicker and higher—they rose with the wind, instantly reaching tens of meters tall, like actual flames!

Normally, the Qi Aura of normal Godfiend cultivators would be around 3 meters when breaking through to the Transcendence stage. Only the Qi Aura of Godfiend geniuses, who were well-prepared and had bountiful resources, might reach around 10 meters.

Concurrently, the Qi Aura of grotto-heavens' and sacred grounds' true disciples could reach more than 15 meters. The height of one's Qi Aura that was gathered the moment one reached the Transcendence stage would represent their talent to a certain degree.

The higher one's Qi Aura was, the more steady a Godfiend cultivator's foundation in the Body Tempering stage was. In the future, when the Qi Aura refined the five internal organs of the Godfiend cultivator, it would be easier.

On the contrary, if one's foundation was unstable, it would be difficult to achieve greater heights.

Currently, Shen Tian's Qi Aura was already about 15 meters tall, and it was still rising rapidly.

As he gathered his Qi Aura, Shen Tian took Divine Binding Vines out of his Archeon Sea Ring and devoured them like they were sugarcanes.

This spectacle made the four Divine Binding Vines looking at Shen Tian run even faster. They had to hurry and hand this human to the Mother Vine, or else they felt like he would devour them!

Upon sensing that the four Divine Binding Vines' speed increased, Shen Tian also tried forming the Qi Aura even faster.

The so-called Body Tempering Qi Aura was actually the cultivators' Divinity. It was highly compressed, thus giving the feature of "extreme firmness and Yang".

In battles, this feature could allow Godfiend cultivators to release the Qi Aura out of their bodies and unleash attacks, such as the Qi Aura Palm.

As for cultivating, it could permeate within the cultivator's body accurately and directly refine the cultivator's internal organs precisely. The cultivator's internal organs would be significantly strengthened through the refinement and nourishment of the Qi Aura.

Not only would it be harder for the cultivator to be injured during battles as the internal organs would be able to receive heavier blows, but it could also further strengthen the cultivator's physical body by replenishing what the human body lacked from the roots!

Thus, using the Qi Aura to refine one's internal organs was the Transcendence stage's primary goal. Only by refining one's internal organs to the degree of being indestructible could they cultivate the powers of using physical strength to penetrate Dharmic powers from within and outside.

As more Spirit Stones turned into powder and more Divine Binding Vines were sucked until only a layer of skin was left, Shen Tian finally felt that his body's hunger was temporarily satiated. He was unable to continue eating.

Presently, the Qi Aura on his body's surface was dark red, and it had already exceeded 30 meters!

When the Qi Aura touched the Divine Binding Vines, the Divine Binding Vines' skin started to burn. The Divine Binding Vines were vigorously struggling as it was evident they detested such a Qi Aura.

Shen Tian opened his eyes, and it seemed like pupils contained blazing flames. He could feel that he was filled with power now, so much that he could kill a Soul Formation cultivator in one blow.

Of course, if there was a Soul Formation cultivator here, then take it as he did not say anything.

Shen Tian gradually stretched out his right hand, and the silver First Essence Heavy Water wrapped around his fingertip as if it was dancing.

Shen Tian sensed that his control over the First Essence Heavy Water within him had significantly increased.

Initially, he could only attach the First Essence Heavy Water on his fist at best or use IX Divine Lightning too to be able to hurt enemies.

However, Shen Tian could easily control the First Essence Heavy Water if he wanted to now.

The First Essence Heavy Water was instantly condensed into a thin and long line with a gentle pull, which shone with a silvery light. Although it quickly fell apart after reaching its thickness limits, it was many times more stable than previously!

Shen Tian even felt that he could directly use the First Essence Heavy Water to form a weapon if he broke through once more.

"Let's not think so far, and focus on escaping first!"

Shen Tian took a deep breath and pulled out the Jade Water Sword. The sword shone brightly, flashing with the reflection of light like it was water.

"It's a good sword, indeed."

Shen Tian held the Jade Water Sword in his right hand, and with his left hand, he gently covered the blade with First Essence Heavy Water.

The Jade Water Sword was enshrouded in a silvery-white liquid layer, looking even sharper and dangerous now.

Shen Tian's eyes turned cold, and his Qi Aura suddenly started burning throughout his whole body as he unleashed inexhaustible strength.

That was a Dharmic formulation that was recorded in the Tinder Sutra. It could allow one's strength to increase two-fold by burning one's Qi Aura. It was also one of the all-in battling methods unique to Godfiend cultivators in the Transcendence stage. Once used, it would cause serious side effects and injuries.

Since he was practically burning life essence energy, using too much of it at once would inevitably result in a deterioration of the physical body.

Nevertheless, when facing a death crisis, Shen Tian naturally did not have any other better choices. He could only burn his Qi Aura and have a life-or-death battle with these demons that liked shipping people!

Boom!

Shen Tian absorbed the Qi Aura back into his body and unleashed inexhaustible power.

At that moment, all his muscles bulged instantly, while his hair stood upright. A crimson red light shone from within his body, making the Black Tortoise Armor he was wearing also glow.

At the same time, Shen Tian lifted the Jade Water Sword, whose blade was enhanced with the crimson Qi Aura and First Essence Heavy Water, and then slashed heavily toward the fleeing Divine Binding Vines.

The Jade Water Sword unleashed a 10-meter-long sword aura!

Clang!

At that instant, the Jade Water Sword was so sharp it seemed to be unstoppable, and its sword aura chopped off the extremely tough Divine Binding Vines in half. They were like paper—juices oozed out in all directions as they were sliced apart by the Jade Water Sword in Shen Tian's hands.

Shen Tian let out a long roar and shot out of the huge Divine Binding Vine cage as if a ferocious tiger was coming out of the mountain.

His burning Qi Aura's power made him feel like he was on drugs. The word 'fatigue' seemed foreign to him, and all he wanted was to keep on venting his strength.

Boom!

Shen Tian also summoned his huge Purple Golden Hammer and held it in his right hand. He pointed the hammer into the sky, and black lightning instantly gathered to form a huge Black Tortoise avatar, dominating those Divine Binding Vines.

Duang!

Among the 10 divine beasts, the Black Tortoise was originally an existence whose special trait was suppression.

The Black Tortoise avatar became much clearer as it steadily pressed down on the Divine Binding Vines, while the 3-meter-long Purple Golden Hammer struck the Divine Binding Vines, directly smashing them to the ground and stunning them.

In the next second, Shen Tian's left hand, holding the Jade Water Sword, slashed down, slicing this Divine Binding Vines into two, and green juices splashed everywhere.

The Divine Binding Vines, which were superior to a human Golden Core cultivator, did not last even three minutes under Shen Tian's full-out state of burning Qi Aura!

"Feel my wrath!"

Shen Tian grabbed half of a Divine Binding Vine that was on the ground and bit it.

Gulp, gulp, gulp~

As Shen Tian devoured the sour and sweet juice, it was quickly refined into the purest form of energy and surged throughout his entire body. The flames enveloping Shen Tian's body also seemed to have obtained fuel and started burning more vigorously.

The spirit fog could no longer influence his divine consciousness and sense of vision.

Shen Tian slowly wiped the juices off the corner of his mouth.

"Locking me up, after playing the bondage game for so long... You must be very happy, right!?

"Now, I'm going to eat you all up!"

Chapter 145: Stuck By Lightning In Foundation Establishment Stage?

The sight of the overly arrogant Shen Tian, whose body was covered with fiery flames, scared the remaining three Divine Binding Vines out of their wits.

How were they going to fight against him? The human before them was wearing the Black Tortoise Armor—their attacks could not break through his defense at all!

What was more ridiculous was that the Divine Binding Vines' body toughness was unmatched—it was difficult for even Dharma artifacts to slice them apart—yet to Shen Tian, it was just like chewing sugarcane. It was as if he didn't feel pressured at all and was enjoying a meal.

The vines could not defeat Shen Tian through battling, nor could they beat him in a battle of biting. Originally, they could use their advantage of numbers to restrain him, but they were unable to do even that now.

This human was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, but his speed, strength, and defense were all through the roof, and each piece of equipment he wore was better than the previous one. He was both powerful and wealthy, so wasn't he bullying the vines!?

Shen Tian's hair was still standing, meaning he was still in the full-out state. Thus, the Divine Binding Vines chose to escape without hesitation and simultaneously used their vines to smack the ground. Then their vines' branches pounced at Shen Tian like pythons.

Shen Tian snarled, "Yes, come at me!"

He charged toward those wines with the Purple Golden Hammer and Jade Water Sword in his hands while circulating all of his Dharmic powers and Qi Aura.

Boom!

The Purple Golden Hammer smashed onto the vines heavily, but Shen Tian did not sense a bit of resistance at all. The Divine Binding Vines' branches had directly broken.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the three main bodies of the Divine Binding Vines had already gone all out in controlling their roots and ran toward the spirit fog's depths.

Oh, my Mother Vine! This human is so powerful, and we can't defeat him! Don't kill us! Help! We're going to die!

The intelligence of plant-type demons was far lower than humans', and it was even lower than those beast demons of the same stage. The intelligence of a Golden Core Divine Binding Vine was equal to a young child.

After seeing that Shen Tian had annihilated so many of their comrades, how would they still dare to continue fighting with him? They simply ran away and instantly disappeared from Shen Tian's line of sight.

Originally Shen Tian was prepared to chase the three Divine Binding Vines that escaped. Although their appearance was not desirable, their taste was mouth-watering.

However, Shen Tian recalled the consequences of chasing after the Divine Binding Vine previously and instantly stopped.

Forget it! It's too dangerous in this Fog Plain. It's more important to go somewhere safe and stay low to survive.

What if he encountered another Nascent Soul Divine Binding Vine while chasing after the vines?

Shen Tian could not guarantee that he could escape once again.

There were many ways to increase one's strength in the road of cultivation, but one only had one life, so safety was first. Not being cautious in adventuring would result in certain death!

Shen Tian decided not to care about other things and leave the Fog Plain first. As long as he left the area enshrouded by the spirit fog, he could use the Saint Token to inform the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's elders.

By then, with all of Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's powerful being, Shen Tian believed that no matter how strong the mastermind behind this was, it would not be able to win against a whole sacred ground.

After devouring a large amount of Divine Binding Vine juice, Shen Tian discovered that the influence on his spiritual power and sense of vision in the Spirit Fog had decreased. Currently, he could already see hundreds of meters away through the spirit fog, and his spiritual power could control Dharma artifacts and talismans to help in battling again.

He could also barely use the Sword Kinesis Flight, but he could not go too fast as it would be tragic if he collided with a mountain.

The Lotus Shooting Gun was under Shen Tian's feet, his right hand was holding the Purple Golden Hammer, his left hand was holding the Jade Water Sword, the Black Tortoise Armor was covering his whole body, and the Black Tortoise Shield was on his back. The eight Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Guns floated around Shen Tian and were ready to shoot at any time.

Shen Tian was armed to the teeth and fearless as long as no Nascent Soul being were present.

The only thing that troubled Shen Tian was that although he could see hundreds of meters through the spirit fog, the Fog Plain was simply too huge, way larger than just a few hundred meters.

Shen Tian stepped on the Lotus Shooting Gun and headed toward the Fog Plain's outer perimeter.

In the end, he was still unable to fly out of the area enshrouded by the spirit fog. He remembered that the three vines had not walked this far away!

What was ridiculous was that the further Shen Tian flew, he realized that thick black clouds had actually appeared on top of his head. He could vaguely see lightning jumping within the black clouds, like purple divine dragons that were giving off an impressive aura.

That kind of aura belonged to a highly-dignified supreme being and made one have the impulse of wanting to lower their head and kowtow. It was extremely powerful.

As Shen Tian cultivated the Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique, he had sensed that it was the unique aura of Heavenly Tribulation!

At that moment, Shen Tian was astounded. How was it possible, why would a Heavenly Tribulation appear on top of his head?

One should know that normally, Heavenly Tribulation would only occur after late-stage Soul Formation cultivators were close to breaking through. The Heavenly Tribulation could refine the cultivator's physical body, strengthening their body and forming heavenly aura.

However, why would the Heavenly Tribulation clouds appear in the Fog Plain and on top of my head?

Is it possible that I'm the extremely rare talent that is seen in the cultivation world, needing to transcend the tribulation just at the Foundation Establishment stage?

Such a setting is simply too commonly used!

Is it possible that just because I'm the peerless genius of this era, with extraordinary temperament and astonishing talent, that I must be discriminated against by the Heavenly Dao?

At that thought, Shen Tian silently stopped and hopped off his Lotus Shooting Gun. He also put away all the Demon-Penetrating Guns floating around him.

He had to stay far away from any metal-type items, try his best not to stand in any open space, and find suitable shelter as soon as possible during lightning days.

That was what his primary school teacher had taught him.

Shen Tian comforted himself, Don't be too nervous, don't worry. What if this Heavenly Tribulation isn't mine?

The most pressing matter now was to hurry and find a shelter, or else it would be too dangerous.

Shen Tian started running within the spirit fog with his back bent until he could finally see a mountain valley vaguely. He was elated and hurriedly ran toward that mountain valley.

At the same time, he wore the Phoenix Feather Mask. The clouds filled with lightning had already become thicker as if lightning would strike any moment. The more protective equipment, the better!

The mountain valley was huge. It was thousands of meters in height alone, vaguely piercing into the sky. Its breadth was astonishing as well. Shen Tian could not see the ends of the mountain valley at all—it was a long vast stretch.

It was also unknown if it was due to the Heavenly Tribulation's influence, but the spirit fog within the valley was not very thick. It was instead extremely thin.

Shen Tian used his sword to dig a hole halfway up the mountain valley and hid inside completely. He then used the stones outside to block the entrance.

After finishing, he finally heaved a sigh of relief. Now there should not be any more accidents after so many precautions!

Shen Tian firmly believed that this lightning tribulation was definitely not his. Even if Foundation Establishment cultivators needed to undergo lightning tribulation, it should be a weaker lightning tribulation.

Given the lightning's intensity in the sky, it was not something a Foundation Establishment cultivator could endure! Impossible!

Even if it were a Nascent Soul Supremacy, they would instantly turn into ash from being smitten by the lightning within the clouds!

Evidently, the lightning tribulation was someone else's, and it would be fine if he was not implicated in it.

Shen Tian lay in the cave and finally relaxed. He was completely exhausted.

He took out Spirit Stones to recover his condition back to its peak and sliced a few Divine Binding Vines into two to drink their juices. It had been a long time since he could enjoy a cozy life—it was just that simple.

However, Shen Tian felt like he had overlooked something... and suddenly, a shiver ran down his spine. He knew what he had overlooked!

OMG! Since that's not my lightning tribulation, then whose is it!?

He remembered that the Mother Vine had said she would possess him once she succeeded in surviving the tribulation.

So... The lightning tribulation is actually directed at the Mother Divine Binding Vine because she is about to enter the Saint realm?

But why would the Mother Divine Binding Vine's lightning tribulation be on top of me?

Sssss~!

Shen Tian thought of a frightening possibility.

Is it possible that the Mother Vine was nearby?

It can't be that I chose the wrong direction when using Sword Kinesis Flight just now...

After pressing forward with an indomitable will, I headed straight into the demon nest!

Chapter 146: The Soap Opera Love Between Human and Demon

That mere idea astounded Shen Tian.

WTF!? I'm already not black anymore, right? Why am I still this unlucky!?

No, I must hurry and escape before I'm noticed!

At that thought, he opened a hole on the top of the cave and left it. He did not dare to use Sword Kinesis Flight anymore because the spirit fog could evidently not stop the Divine Binding Vines.

If Shen Tian directly used Sword Kinesis Flight, he would most likely be pulled down from mid-air by the Divine Binding Vine.

If this was really the Divine Binding Vines' lair, it would result in quite the tragic ending in case the Divine Binding Vines bound him there.

Shen Tian tied the Phoenix Feather Mask closer to his face and tried to conceal his presence even more. He tried his best to conceal all of his human aura and left silently.

He bent his back and swiftly rushed out of the mountain valley, escaping steadily.

However, at that moment, a bantering voice resounded.

"Haha, you've finally come."

This voice was so gentle and enchanting that it made one fall into an ecstatic mood. It reverberated throughout every corner of the valley, crystal clear.

That's right. It was the Mother Vine's voice, the same one Shen Tian had heard previously.

Shen Tian was instantly dumbfounded.

I'm already this careful, so how did you discover me? Are you a dog?

Am I really going to be bound, possessed, and sucked dry by this Mother Vine that is thousands of years old?

Shen Tian was not resigned to his fate and decided not to yield to it even at the cost of his death!

Unexpectedly, a radiant sun suddenly rose up from the spirit-fog-enshrouded mountain valley. Its rays' brightness was peerless, and it emitted a magnificent light and heat that could blind one's eyes.

An enraged voice echoed from within the huge sun. "Lu Ji, you've broken our agreement! Is it possible that you want to have a battle with me?"

Upon hearing the voice from the huge sun, Shen Tian heaved a sigh of relief.

So, this Mother Vine was not talking to me!

That's right, as compared to the Mother Vine, Shen Tian's cultivation level was so weak he was just like an ant to Mother Vine.

In addition, with the Phoenix Feather Mask to conceal his aura, it was extremely difficult for others to discover him.

However, the two powerful beings were currently in opposition, and their powerful aura had engulfed the whole mountain valley.

Shen Tian did not dare to act rashly, or else he would be annihilated the moment he was discovered.

He carefully hid behind a stone and tried his best to conceal his presence. He silently murmured in his heart, "I am a stone, I am a stone."

Immediately after, he felt that the whole ground was trembling—it was like a huge python was squirming at the bottom of the mountain valley.

A clear vibration sound could be heard from throughout the mountain valley, and numerous gravel fell from the mountain valley.

Shen Tian could even feel that something huge was squirming under him.

His body was moving up and down because of that humongous vine.

Evidently, the whole bottom of the mountain valley had been covered by the body of the Mother Vine. Her vines had already occupied the whole underground, almost transforming the spirit fog mountain valley into her absolute domain.

The enchanting voice resounded in the mountain valley once again. "Qian Yang, why are you this angry? There's really no need to be."

Just as she finished, a humongous 300-meter-long black vine pillar rose up from the mountain valley's center. A gorgeous beauty stood on it.

That woman wore a greenish-black vine armor, which barely covered her private places, and her pure white skin was almost completely exposed.

Her figure was extremely sexy, and her waist was so thin and slender, shaking gently as if she was boneless. She was just like a fairy.

She was such a stunning and alluring woman that it would even let people willing to be sucked dry by her.

She stood on the vine pillar gracefully and winked toward that huge sun. "We're already so close, cut it out."

A wooden table slowly rose up from the vine pillar. There were two cups on it with a milky liquid that gave off a rich fragrance.

"This is the Divine Juice Wine that I have spent 500 years making and refining. I know you like this the best."

Lu Ji gently picked up the two cups; she drank one of them and threw the other one.

The cup, which was filled with the fine wine, flew toward that great and vast sun. However, before that cup could even get close to the huge and grand sun, it started burning in the air.

The raging flames burned the fine wine into nothingness. Then, the huge sun gradually shrank, entering the body of a stalwart man. He was wearing a black cloth gown and had a dignified appearance and a beard. Behind him was a one-meter-long broadsword.

Currently, his hair was flying in the wind, while his face was filled with anger and coldness. "Lu Ji, don't use such things to bribe me anymore!"

Lu Ji looked at Sword Venerable Qian Yang resentfully.

"Oh my, that's not what you said in the beginning. Back then, when you were still a small sword cultivator and encountered me, you would say my juice was the most delicious and that you could never have enough of it. So, now that you've become a mighty figure of the human race, you're giving me the cold shoulder because I'm a demon... Are you here to kill this demon?"

Sword Venerable Qian Yang's face turned red, but his tone had also softened. "Lu Ji, those times have passed.

"If the human cultivators that barged into the Fog Plain to explore die due to their greediness, I won't stop you.

"However, today, why have you released so many mutated Divine Binding Vines to attack Fog City? Do you really want to become the humans' enemy?"

The smile on Lu Ji's face disappeared, and her gaze toward Sword Venerable Qian Yang also gradually turned cold. "Oh? So you humans can barge into the Fog Plain at will to hunt Divine Binding Vines, but I'm not allowed to kill humans? I just want to suck all the humans in Fog City dry. You can't stop me!"

Sword Venerable Qian Yang took a deep breath. "So to say, there's no room for us to negotiate anymore?"

Lu Ji smiled charmingly. "Who said there's no room for discussion? Today is the day I transcend the tribulation and enter the Saint realm. After I survive the tribulation, I will be able to turn into a human and thus be able to live freely in this world.

"Qian Yang, didn't you love me in the past? How about I become your Dao companion after I become a human? By then, I can make wine for you and follow you to explore the whole Eastern Wilderness and Southern Border. Isn't it nice for us to travel around the world together?"

A cold shiver ran down Shen Tian's spine as he heard their conversation while hiding behind the stone.

WTF!? I never thought that this was Brother Zhao's master's taste!

He actually dated this Mother Vine when he was young and still thinks of her constantly...

Alright, Shen Tian knew that it was unsuitable to be thinking of such things in such a dangerous environment. However, his situation now was extremely awkward. He was unable to leave, so he could only try his best to keep a low profile and watch the show.

He could sense that the feelings within Lu Ji's words were indeed real, and from Sword Venerable Qian Yang's eyes, it could be seen that he was having an internal struggle.

It was obvious that those two definitely had an affair.

In the end, Sword Venerable Qian Yang shook his head with determination. "Impossible, your hands are filled with human blood. I definitely cannot accept you!"

Lu Ji scoffed. "Oh? Just because I killed a few insatiably greedy people, you're looking down on me? Don't forget that even you humans kill each other, why aren't you able to accept it if it's me?

"Haha, in the end, it's because I'm of a different race! It's just you can't overcome the difference in our races!"

While speaking, Lu Ji's figure gradually disappeared. "Qian Yang, you're simply too foolish. Since you don't like me killing people, I'll do just that for you to see!

"Today, after I survive the tribulation, I'll use humans as my sacrifice! I want to see how you can stop me today!"

Chapter 147: Ask the Heavens, Can You Annihilate Me

After listening to the Sword Venerable and Mother Vine conversation, Shen Tian was about to die from awkwardness.

So this is the love story of a young sword cultivator and a little vine that met when small and fell in love. Then the young sword cultivator or his master was unable to accept them being together, and thus they were forcibly separated.

Then hatred was born because of love for the little vine, thus hating the whole human race. Therefore, the little vine turned bad and caused troubles while focusing on killing people?

OMG! Such a cliche and soap opera plot! Just how bad the screenwriter is to be able to write such a plot?

If it were not for Shen Tian being unable to win against those two, he would have long gone out and talked some sense into them.

The concept of love in the cultivation world is really freaking behind! The people in Fog City have been implicated in the love matters of these two!

Have the both of you considered those innocent people's feelings, especially the feelings of those that were single?

Shen Tian started complaining like crazy in his heart, but his body was steadily hidden behind the stone.

No joke, even if he knew that the two beings in front of him were two tsundere people that had twisted concepts of love, it did not mean their strengths would decrease.

They were powerful peak-stage Soul Formation beings, especially Lu Ji, who was already transcending the tribulation. Once she succeeded, she would enter the Tribulation Transcendence stage and become a mighty peerless figure.

If he jumped out there and told her, "Your concept of love is too freaking idiotic!", then with just a whip of her vine, he would turn into mashed meat.

Although Shen Tian felt that Lu Ji might not directly whip him to death due to his handsomeness, what should Shen Tian do if after she saw him, she fell in love with him and started pestering him?

Although she was older by 3,000 years old and was powerful in terms of strength, her concept of love was too extreme.

Shen Tian did not really like such a type.

Eh, why am I letting my imagination run wild again?

Shen Tian continued enjoying the show behind the stone.

On the other side, Sword Venerable Qian Yang and Lu Ji had also started their battle.

The whole mountain valley was shaking—those vines that were even thicker than pillars had stretched out from all places in the mountain valley, stirring the ground up.

The Nascent Soul Divine Binding Vine that Shen Tian had seen previously was already as tall as 300 meters. He had been under the impression that it was gigantic, yet currently, each vine of Lu Ji's true body had already surpassed hundreds of meters. Also, her vines were not greenish-black but were more of an emerald green.

The vines looked as if they had been carved from jade and looked crystal clear.

Under the light of the blazing sun the Sword Venerable Qian Yang had turned into, the vines were shining radiantly.

"Since you refuse to admit your mistake, I'll settle you today!"

Sword Venerable Qian Yang's eyes betrayed a shred of resolution as he pulled out the long broadsword behind him suddenly.

In an instant, the vast and blazing sword aura enclosed the whole mountain valley, even a large amount of spirit fog had dispersed.

Once again, a grand sun appeared in the skies, shining on the broad and huge divine sword Sword Venerable Qian Yang was holding.

"Endless Sky, Sky-Incinerating Sword Aura!"

Sword Venerable Qian Yang's body turned into a humongous sun, and the long broadsword in his hand had shot out a 300-meter-wide sword aura. He started fighting with Lu Ji, and sword aura was being released in all directions.

However, he quickly discovered a horrifying fact—his sword was no match for Lu Ji!

The broadsword's sharpness in Sword Venerable Qian Yang's hands could easily slice through the mountains and rivers—just one slash could split the Thuong River 300 meters in height.

Meanwhile, only a cut that was a few meters deep was left on Lu Ji's vines.

Although a wound that was a few feet deep sounded frightening, it was negligible to a 300-meter-long vine. It could only be counted as a superficial injury, not even slicing half of the vine.

However, Lu Ji's outraged roar still resounded.

"You actually attacked me! Alright, from today onward, our relationship is no more! I want you to see me slaughter the whole Fog City!"

The huge vines whipped Sword Venerable Qian Yang continuously, but he strenuously blocked them all.

Nonetheless, even someone with cultivation as weak as Shen Tian's could see that Sword Venerable Qian Yang was on the losing end. That was because his sword aura realm kept on shrinking due to being suppressed by the huge vines, and he was unable to counterattack.

Lu Ji sneered and said, "Qian Yang, there's something I've never told you. Did you think that I'm just a normal Divine Binding Vine? You're wrong then, as I'm actually a Divine Devouring Vine!

"From the first time we met and each time we fought, I always lost on purpose! However, today, I'm not pretending anymore. I'll show you that you won't even be able to last one strike!"

After finishing, Lu Ji suddenly whipped her huge vine and instantly knocked Sword Venerable Qian Yang hundreds of meters away.

"This is your strength? You plan to use such a laughable strength to protect the human race you mentioned?" Lu Ji mocked. "Let me tell you, Qian Yang—you can't protect anyone!"

The crystal-clear jade-like vines suddenly whipped the broadsword in Sword Venerable Qian Yang's hands away.

Immediately after, four thin vines pierced through the air and tightly bound Sword Venerable Qian Yang's limbs. In an instant, the Soul Formation Sword Venerable Qian Yang was tightly tied up in the air.

At that moment, Divine Devouring Vine, which was ranked 9th in the Spiritual Wood List, revealed its unmatched ferocity!

The enchanting woman figure appeared once again. She looked at Sword Venerable Qian Yang in a bantering manner and scoffed.

"So, this is your pride as a human? I'm a Divine Devouring Vine, the supreme divine vine that can devour Perfected Immortals. Did you really think I was not your opponent and that you really suppressed me in the Fog Plain for thousands of years?

"Such a joke! I was just keeping a low profile to conceal my real strength. I just did not want to be discovered by the human race's real mighty beings. You're just the cover-up to deceive others!

"From today onward, I'll really be able to transform into a human and completely be free of being shackled in the ground.

"Since you're unwilling to marry me, I'll suck you dry and find someone else!

"Haha, just nicely I have discovered a man with peerless handsomeness not long ago. After transcending the tribulation, I'll go and catch him and do whatever I want to him.

"I want you to witness it! You can't do anything to me!"

Lu Ji stood between the heavens and earth—lightning had already started to strike from the clouds. That was the fearsome killer tribulation, and the lightning had the might of the heavens and earth. Its strength would increase against stronger living beings.

The Divine Devouring Vine was in the top 10 of the Spiritual Wood List ranking. It had powerful abilities, such as devouring and piercing through the void. Thus, its lightning tribulation was also unimaginably powerful; just the first strike of lightning was the legendary White Tiger VII Divine Lightning (Metal).

Such a White Tiger VII Divine Lightning (Metal) was not the Divine Lightning the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground disciples could create.

It was the Connate White Tiger VII Divine Lightning (Metal) that was formed by the Heavenly Dao. It was mighty and way stronger than Zhang Yunxi's White Tiger Divine Lightning. In addition, its attribute was metal, which best subdued wood-attribute spirit plants!

The White Tiger VII Divine Lightning (Metal) struck from the sky as if a sword was slicing the sky.

Lu Ji crazily swung the vines around her, turning them into a single long emerald whip in an attempt to counter the lightning.

Clang!

The lightning was like a legendary unsheathed sword, while the vine was like shattered glass—the Divine Lightning slash directly crushed the long emerald whip!

The remaining half of the lightning did not reduce in strength but instead struck Lu Ji's body heavily.

A frightening injury appeared on the huge vine, and milky-colored thick juice flowed out of it. That was the Divine Devouring Vine's juice, which contained an abundance of energy. It was extremely useful even to Soul Formation cultivators.

Lu Ji sneered. "The Heavenly Dao really favors you humans, and it's naturally simpler for you humans.

"Meanwhile, in our case—individuals from other races that want to transform into humans—the power of the Heavenly Tribulation is increased by more than 10 times!

"Haha, since it's like this, I'll have to use humans as a sacrifice! I want to see if the heavens can annihilate me!"

Chapter 148: Sacrificing Myself, Shining Universe Blade

The huge emerald 3,000-meter-long vine soared into the air, the branch-out of its vines spreading throughout mid-air.

In that instant, pure essence energy surged into the Divine Devouring Vine, being absorbed and refined by her.

Simultaneously, the Divine Binding Vines in Fog City started to gradually whither, completely losing their liveliness and becoming withered vines.

Obviously, these Divine Binding Vines were all Lu Ji's puppets, controllable tools that she used to absorb human essence energy.

Currently, Lu Ji was already transcending the tribulation, so she directly retrieved all the human essence energy absorbed by her puppets to use them during the Tribulation Transcendence.

After absorbing a large amount of Divine Binding Vine and human essence energy, the emerald 3,000-meter-long vine turned even more crystal clear.

Meanwhile, that gorgeous woman's figure also turned more realistic, as if she was a real human. She stood proudly between heaven and earth, and the injuries, which were created by being struck by lightning, were rapidly healing.

Evidently, as a Divine Devouring Vine, her healing abilities were stronger than Divine Binding Vines!

Lu Ji waved her vines as she looked at the black clouds in the sky.

"You human cultivators always say that you'll kill demons and fiends for the Heavenly Dao. Today, I want to see if this Heavenly Dao's lightning is able to take my life!"

Lu Ji's 3,000-meter-long body suddenly rose up from the ground, and the whole vine suddenly whipped toward the heavens like a huge divine whip.

She actually did not plan to wait for the lightning to strike each time but wanted to whip the clouds into dispersing, thus resolving the tribulation from its roots.

Seeing Lu Ji's aggressive actions, Shen Tian was astounded.

F*ck! You sure I did not transmigrate into a female lead novel!?

So what if you're a Divine Devouring Vine? You actually dared to directly swing your vine and whip the Heavenly Tribulation on your own accord? This scene is just like the plot of what a Dragon Proud Sky would do, and I can almost hear the "I'm the master of my own destiny", are you sure this is real?

In fact, even Shen Tian was dumbfounded, not to mention the Heavenly Tribulation.

After the huge vine whip pierced through the black clouds, the lightning that filled the clouds had all stopped for a moment.

However, what followed after was an even more turbulent eruption of lightning, as if they were angered.

As the second lightning struck, it was like a ball of bright Crimson Phoenix burning in fiery flames—the whole sky was dyed red.

That was the Connate Crimson Phoenix III Divine Lightning (Fire) of the Connate Divine Lightning of the Five Elements. It was able to subdue the spirit wood-type demons, such as the Divine Devouring Vine, greatly.

Also, the Heavenly Tribulation seemed to have been angered by Lu Ji's offending actions, so the second lightning's strength was even more powerful. That lightning had even formed the Crimson Phoenix's real body as if a real divine beast had descended.

With the surge of fearsome lightning and flames, it was shot toward Lu Ji violently. The spirit fog in the whole mountain valley seemed to have dispersed due to that.

There was not a shred of fear in Lu Ji's eyes, however. "Haha, come!"

After finishing, suffering human faces appeared on the surface of her huge vines. Those people were mostly cultivators who were lost within the Fog Plain due to their greediness. Their essence energy was devoured completely by the Divine Devouring Vines while their souls were trapped within the Divine Devouring Vines, unable to be reincarnated.

Currently, Lu Ji charged toward the Crimson Phoenix III while bringing these people's souls—she wanted to let these people perish in the lightning and flames!

"Lu Ji, you're going too far."

Sword Venerable Qian Yang, who was originally bound by vines, sighed. His body started to burn with raging flames, and the vines tying him up were instantly broken. A radiant flame appeared on the surface of Sword Venerable Qian Yang's body, forming a longsword that kept on burning.

He sighed.

"You may be the Divine Devouring Vine that is ranked 9th in the Spiritual Wood List and have purposely lost to me many times, but you didn't know that the Nan Ming Li Fire, which is ranked 10th in the Exceptional Fire List, is under my control. Yet I've never endangered your life.

"Never mind, since we've come to this, there's already no right or wrong between us, only this battle is left. Today, we shall fight to the death! If there's a next life, you reincarnate as a human, or I become a demon!

"Then, our karma will be cleared, and we might be able to finally be together."

With his whole body burning in fiery flames, a bright light was shot out of the surface of Sword Venerable Qian Yang's body.

Immediately after, the black clouds in the sky turned even thicker, just like thick dark ink.

Sword Venerable Qian Yang actually had an epiphany, and his whole body started burning with the bright Nan Ming Li Fire.

In that instant, he had even almost reached the Tribulation Transcendence.

"Without the bright sun, all ages would have been like a long night.

The sun shines from heaven, the Sword Flame burns all demons.

Sacrificing myself, Shining Heaven Sword!"

After finishing, Sword Venerable Qian Yang turned into a red sword, which soared into the sky, and nine reddish-gold suns vaguely surrounded the blade—that was the Golden Crow In Heavens.

According to rumors, it was only an avatar that could be formed after cultivating the Imperial Sutra of Sun to greater mastery. Nonetheless, Sword Venerable Qian Yang currently formed it in advance by burning his essence energy.

He became the sword itself and pressed forward with an indomitable will, slashing toward Lu Ji resolutely.

Facing Sword Venerable Qian Yang, who sacrificed himself using forbidden arts to perish together with her, Lu Ji scoffed.

"A coward that dares not face me! I only live this life, no next life! Who would be together with you in the next life?

"It's a disgrace for the treasure, Nan Ming Li Fire, such a powerful flame to be in the hands of someone like you!

"Forget it. I'll completely cut off all karmic ties with you today, to prove my Dao and enter the Saint realm!"

The huge emerald vine in the air gathered to form a sharp cone shape. The tip of it pierced toward the sword that Sword Venerable Qian Yang had turned into.

Boom!

The huge emerald vine instantly shattered, but the Nan Ming Li Fire was also broken into pieces. Balls of fire scattered in the air, shooting toward all directions like meteors.

That's right, Sword Venerable Qian Yang's cultivation level was, in the end, lower than Lu Ji's, and he was unable to really slash ruthlessly.

Originally, his cultivation level could not be compared to her, and in addition, his sword was slashed forward with hesitation. Thus, he was naturally unable to slash with crushing force.

As compared to Lu Ji, who seemed flirtatious but firm and decisive, Sword Venerable Qian Yang was in the end weaker. He looked as mighty as flames, but he did not know his own Dao, nor did he understand his Dao Heart.

What he did was not actually wrong, but as a swordsman, without a firm will, naturally, his Sword Dao could not reach the peak. Thus, in the battle with Lu Ji, Sword Venerable Qian Yang had lost completely in the end.

After the Nan Ming Li Fire Sword broke into pieces, the Li Fire's Origins instantly fell to all corners of the mountain valley, burning with raging flames.

One of the Li Fire's Origins had even brought along part of the Sword Venerable Qian Yang's soul, who was injured heavily and in a deep sleep, and fell toward the direction of Fog City.

Meanwhile, the defenseless physical body of Lu Ji was also struck by the second Crimson Phoenix III Divine Lightning (Fire)!

As there was no resistance, that Divine Lightning directly penetrated the Divine Devouring Vine's body.

Then, the remaining lightning instantly shot toward all directions in the mountain valley. Coincidentally, quite a few bolts just nicely landed beside Shen Tian. One had to know that was the lightning which Soul Formation cultivators had to face when transcending the tribulation!

Even if it was only part of it and had only landed beside Shen Tian, it was extremely fearsome.

Shen Tian could only feel the blazing hot and powerful lightning surge throughout his body before his whole body turned numb.

The lightning was crazily destroying Shen Tian's body, injuring his body heavily. His hair started to stand upright, and his face had instantly turned black. After a long while, he spat out a black breath.

This Heavenly Tribulation lightning is really powerful!

However, this was only a beginning as Lu Ji's Heavenly Tribulation's lightning was still continuing!

Naturally, part of the lightning falling beside Shen Tian was something that could not be avoided.

Chapter 149: Let's Make a Golden Statue for Master Celestial!

At the eastern rural areas of Fog City, within a valley full of flowers...

Zhao Hao knelt before the grave. His face was stark white, and there were strands of blood in his eyes.

As he had lost all fruits of his cultivation before, it was inevitable that he got tired easily, even though his physique was already much better than those who had never cultivated before.

Zhao Hao had been kneeling before his mother's grave for a full day and night as of now, and tiredness washed over his whole body.

However, he still knelt resolutely before the grave and did not get up, even though his limbs were numb. He was bent on recovering his cultivation—he needed to prove to others that he could stand up from failures!

It's just two more days—I need to persevere for another two days only.

Zhao Hao licked his cracked lips and encouraged himself.

At that time, a shooting star appeared and drew an arch across the dark sky.

Correct, this shooting star was none other than the bit of Nan Ming Li Fire's Origins that contained the remnants of Sword Venerable Qian Yang's soul, and it was shooting toward Zhao Hao by some luck.

Boom!

Zhao Hao was still cheering on for himself silently when he felt the hit. It was like being hammered throughout his whole body, and he toppled over on the ground in pain.

Once that terrible fire came into contact with his body, it engulfed him in flames.

Zhao Hao almost lost consciousness due to that extreme heat, but he was so obsessed about recovering his cultivation that he managed to remain awake throughout the whole ordeal.

So is this the fortuitous opportunity that Brother Shen was talking about? But didn't he mention that it will only arrive after three days?

...Ah, I get it. Brother Shen must be trying to encourage me and let me keep up my motivation during this period.

So this was why he kept quiet about the fortuitous opportunity happening just after one day and told me it would take three days instead.

Correct, Brother Shen must be trying to give me a surprise!

Although that terrible fire burned his whole body, Zhao Hao did not feel scared at all. Instead, he was more than ever excited—because he finally felt that long-awaited Spirit Qi running through his body again.

That fire was being absorbed by his body gradually. It ran across the whole length of his Spirit Qi circulation routine and then finally entered his dantian.

Zhao Hao was too excited for words. Bearing utmost gratitude toward Shen Tian, he started his cultivation of the Sky-Incinerating Fire Sword Art again.

He could feel that this fire was very tame—it felt like this was a blessing from some higher-up immortal beings.

Zhao Hao thought to himself, Brother Shen must have predicted this beforehand too. He's really so great at divination and so thoughtful toward me!

Of course, if these thoughts were made known to the dying Sword Venerable Qian Yang, he probably would climb up from his death bed and give Zhao Hao a fierce whacking.

He would most probably bellow, "This is no surprise from whatever 'Brother Shen'! It's me using up the last of my powers to save you, dumb kid!"

After all, it was under Sword Venerable Qian Yang's guidance that the small bit of Nan Ming Li Fire's Origins had entered Zhao Hao's body in such a tame manner.

In any case, Zhao Hao felt like he had made a breakthrough and entered a new realm of cultivation. He felt that his entire being had merged with the fire, and he could even breathe fire now.

At this point in time, a familiar voice rang out in his mind. "So... It's really the Nine-Yang Battle Constitution. The first time I saw you, I knew you were no simple person. But I could never have imagined that you actually possessed the legendary Nine-Yang Battle Constitution."

Zhao Hao was stunned. He recognized this voice and immediately asked, "It's you? Old Beardy, where did you come out from?"

Sword Venerable Qian Yang replied in a resigned tone, "That's not important. What matters is that now my soul is very weak and fragile, and I will be falling into a deep slumber soon. The Fog Plain is very dangerous now. You need to leave straight away and escape as far as you can!"

With that, Sword Venerable Qian Yang's voice disappeared. No matter what sort of questions Zhao Hao fired at him, there were no more replies.

This made Zhao Hao realize that his Old Beardy Master was really not feeling well.

Oh, wait, if the Fog Plain is dangerous... Then what will happen to Brother Shen and his company!

Worry was written all over Zhao Hao's face.

Brother Shen has literally given me a new life! Now that he's in danger, I must inform him of this news and tell him to leave!

With that, Zhao Hao made three kowtows to the grave in front of him and said, "Mother, your son can no longer keep guard over your grave. Please wait for me to go and save Brother Shen. I promise, once I am done with this deed, I will come back and finish the remaining two days of keeping vigil as promised!"

Within Fog City, a gigantic Divine Firmament protective array covered the entire palace. All the cultivators directed their Spirit Qi into the protective array and were prepared for the attacks.

Yet all of a sudden, all the Divine Binding Vines started to wither and dry up.

Within a few breaths, the ferocious Divine Binding Vines actually turned into ashes and dissipated in the air.

Needless to say, all the people within Fog City were shocked.

After a few moments of silence, joyous shouts of relief rang out throughout the whole royal hall.

"Since these foul creatures have withered, I presume Master Celestial must have already subdued those demons in the Fog Plain?"

"That must be the case! Master Celestial is indeed powerful! He managed to subdue such a strong demon in this short period of time!"

"We cannot be ungrateful people. Master Celestial has saved our lives, so we must remember what he did for us!"

"I say, why not we raise some funds and give them to Master Celestial as repayment for his services?"

"Ah, I doubt this is appropriate. Master Celestial already said that he would not take any repayments from those who are fated with him. He definitely won't accept this money."

"Umm, I also think it's too trite giving him money... Wait, why don't we make a golden statue for Master Celestial instead?"

"Yes, that's a great idea! Master Celestial is so good at divinity, and he even has the ability to subdue terrible demons!"

"Well, Master Celestial saved the whole population at Fog City, so it's just right that we make a golden statue for him."

"Yes, let's go and find our King and suggest making the golden statue in the middle of Fog City!"

"I agree!"

"Me too!"

"And me, same for me!"

A whole army of people swarmed toward the palace. This shocked the Hidden Fog Country's king so much that he almost screamed, "Guards! Protect me! There's a rebellion!"

Fortunately, he managed to stop himself in the nick of time.

After hearing that these people only wanted to make a golden statue for Master Celestial, the King agreed to it.

For heaven's sake! Not to mention that this Master Celestial is so unfathomable and has such great skills in divination—just look at how the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground's Saintess is holding him in high regard. How can he be just anybody?

Do you think only you guys know how to suck up to Master Celestial? Your Majesty—I, also know how to do so!

The king mused for a while before speaking, "Master Celestial has saved Fog City, and thereby the Hidden Fog Country.

"How is one golden statue enough? I am going to build a 30-meter pure gold statue for Master Celestial in the middle of the city!

"At the same time, I am also going to build four replicates of this statue and place them at each of the four city gates.

"From today onward, the Hidden Fog Country's royal family shall set up longevity tablets for Master Celestial.

"All descendants of the Hidden Fog Country's royal family shall never forget Master Celestial's great help!"

With that, the king turned towards Zhang Yunxi and asked, "Saintess, what do you make of my arrangement?"

Zhang Yunxi sweated secretly and thought to herself, Well, there's some reason that this fellow can become the country's king. When facing great men, he could let go of his dignity as a king and even express gratitude for others' help.

Much as though Zhang Yunxi did not like to handle people who liked to suck up to others, she did not feel uncomfortable by the king's actions.

Of course, the fact that the person whom the king was being so grateful toward was Shen Tian had helped too. After all, earning the respect of so many cultivators was not a bad thing—in fact, it could be considered helpful for Shen Tian's future development.

"I am fine with this decision. But let's wait and discuss further after this fog goes away!"

Zhang Yunxi looked coldly at the thick spirit fog, which still lingered outside the palace.

"Before that, don't go out of the array! We must be careful. What if this is a trap set up by the demons? We will be walking into their traps if we leave now!"

After making sure that this warning was registered to everyone at the scene, Zhang Yunxi sat down on the ground and started meditating. She had spent too much energy sustaining the protective array, and now she desperately needed some rest.

Junior Brother, I don't know where you are, but I hope you remain safe!

Meanwhile, the person who occupied everyone's minds at the palace—yours truly, Shen Tian—was vexing over a serious problem.

He was still hiding behind the boulder, but there was a set of female clothes in his hands.

Shen Tian looked like he was at a loss of what to do.

Oh, such a dilemma!

Chapter 150: Wearing Female Clothes Can Improve My Providence?

The female clothes were one of the treasures Shen Tian had obtained from the three stone boxes that he and his company came across at the Celestial Water Immortal Abode.

Out of the three boxes, the first box contained the Archeon Sea Ring, which held millions of Spirit Stones.

The third box contained the First Essence Heavy Water, ranked 11th on the Absolute Water List. It was extremely heavy, but at the same time, Shen Tian also benefited the most from it.

And the second box contained this light blue female armor set, which Shen Tian was holding now, as well as a light blue whip.

The whip was of such a high grade that even though Shen Tian had reached the Foundation Establishment stage, he still could not proclaim ownership of the whip with his blood.

However, the light blue armor's grade was still within the ranks of a spirit artifact—even though it was of supreme-grade—and Shen Tian could use it.

In fact, this suit's defense capabilities were even more superior than the Black Tortoise Helmet.

If Shen Tian wore this armor suit, the chances of him staying alive should be greatly increased.

The problem was... Shen Tian always saw himself as a red-blooded hunk, and he was the Divine Firmament Saint too.

How could he wear a lady's armor!?

If he was seen and news of him wearing a girl's suit was made known to others, how would he be able to stay on in Eastern Wilderness anymore?

There's even a possibility that the Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader and all the elders might feel too humiliated, that they would crush Shen Tian on the spot!

A tremor ran through Shen Tian's body as the scene enacted itself in his mind's eye.

No, I am not a crossdresser!

I am not one who will do such things!

I will rather die than wear this!

Just when Shen Tian made up his mind, he witnessed another bout of lightning strike down at Lu Ji.

Remnants of the lightning splattered across the whole valley.

Unfortunately, a few of these lightning remnants came shooting straight at the place where Shen Tian was hiding.

Shen Tian started to have doubts about his whole existence again.

...Maybe the green halo on top of my head is fake?

How could it be that even though he no longer had a black halo, he was still so unlucky?

Boom!

Different spots of lightning landed on the ground near Shen Tian's hiding spot, and their prowess spread through the ground's surface.

Shen Tian could feel clearly how that powerful lightning ran through his whole body—that immense voltage almost took his life!

He immediately activated the Tinder Sutra and Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique in a desperate attempt to absorb the heavenly tribulation's divine lightning remnants.

Meanwhile, the Mixed Divine Lightning mark on his glabella shone ever more brightly as the divine lightning merged into his body as if it had come across some nourishing supplements.

Yet, no matter how fast Shen Tian tried to absorb this lightning, he could not digest all of it. After all, this was lightning that would determine the transcendence of a Saint-level creature!

Depressed, Shen Tian felt that if this situation continued, there was a high chance he would become a literal roasted 'Saint' by the end of Lu Ji's heavenly tribulation.

At this point, Lu Ji exclaimed in a furious tone, "Damn it! This is not the Four-Nine Tribulation, but the Six-Nine Tribulation!"

Yes—as Lu Ji was a spectacular vine among her species in the whole of this world, and her capabilities far exceeded any normal Soul Formation cultivator, the Heavens had decided to 'bestow' her with more than four lightning tribulations for her heavenly tribulation.

It would be a Six-Nine Tribulation!

She had already gone through four lightning tribulations—Metal, Fire, Wood, and Water—and right now, she was about to face the V Divine Lightning (Earth) tribulation.

This V Divine Lightning transformed into a QIlin that was hundreds of meters in height, and it was obviously mightier than all the Divine Lightning Lu Ji had encountered previously.

Each of its scales gleamed under the daylight, and it looked so realistic that one couldn't tell that this creature was a made-up avatar from lightning.

If not for the fact that the Heavenly Tribulation was still taking place, many people would most probably treat it as a real Qilin beast.

"The Six-Nine Tribulation is more powerful than the previous lightning tribulation. All this is so unfair to me!"

Lu Ji narrowed her eyes to a slit and started thrashing her enormous vines around while charging toward the Qilin!

Needless to say, this Qilin, which was made up by the fifth Divine Lightning, possessed the prowess of a real holy beast. It was insanely strong.

A Saint from the human race would probably fall to their demise after a few exchanges with this beast. But that was not the case for a Divine Devouring Vine. This species had indeed lived up to its reputation of being ranked 9th on the Spiritual Wood List, and so great were its talents at fighting that Lu Ji actually managed to be on par with this Qilin.

Moreover, within the five elements, 'Wood' was supposed to be able to overcome 'Earth'. So, it also seemed logical that Lu Ji could be on par with this Qilin.

During the battle, several vines were being bitten and torn apart by the Qilin. Milky white juice sprayed across the whole of the valley.

Shen Tian took some of the juice, refined it, and absorbed it into his body. His injuries got healed quickly.

It was obvious that this juice was great medicine for healing injuries, and this was a priceless treasure...

But back to the battle—it seemed like Lu Ji was not losing out to the Mighty Qilin V in any time to come, as she lashed out whip after whip at the beast.

Every time the vines hit the Qilin, bits of golden lightning would be strewn downward, and they would blast up the place.

However, what made Shen Tian absolutely resigned was the fact that this Mighty Qilin V's lightning had even stronger electroconductivity on the ground than the other previous lightning.

As soon as the lightning hit the ground near him, he would be frizzled—in fact, Shen Tian's hair was now sizzling with lightning.

Shen Tian could feel that he was reaching his limit. He wouldn't be able to continue holding out if this situation continued any further.

At that moment, Lu Ji lashed out the last whip, and its vines stuck deep into the Qilin's throat.

With an enormous tug and pull, the vine cut the whole Qilin's head clean off and flung it across the valley!

The lightning Qilin gave a loud shriek of pain and transformed into a spear, sticking itself into Lu Ji's gigantic main vine!

Boom!

The Divine Devouring Vine's main vine cracked apart. This injury was so serious that the Mother Vine was almost cut clean through its waist.

Meanwhile, the Qilin's head transformed into a golden lightning rain and shot toward the valley!

At the moment, Shen Tian was too stupefied for words.

A thought flashed past his mind, This demon is really bent on killing me!

Shen Tian looked up at the terrible lightning coming straight at him, gnashed his teeth, and made a decision.

There's no other choice!

He put on that light blue armor and started activating all his power.

Immediately, a pale blue screen appeared in front of Shen Tian.

Shen Tian, who now wore the light blue armor suit and the Phoenix Feather Mask, displayed a graceful and elegant silhouette as he stood up from behind the boulder.

He had now stacked up his defensive skills to the fullest he could get.

In his hands, he held up the middle-grade spirit artifact, Black Tortoise Shield.

This Black Tortoise Shield cast a light screen, which was the outermost protection skill for Shen Tian. It was his first line of defense and could fend off some of the residual lightning that dropped onto the valley.

The second line of defense was the Heavy Water Black Tortoise Armor that Shen Tian conjured up from the Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique skill.

Behind this armor, it would be the supreme-grade spirit artifact, Celestial Water Armor. Though it was giving off rays of gentle bright light, it actually helped to block off the majority of the Divine Lightning.

If all the three lines of defense were unable to protect him, there was still a fourth line of defense—the Black Tortoise Helmet.

Almost nobody else in this cultivation world could stack up so many defense armors and skills.

This was because cultivators had limited Spirit Qi—who would use all of their power only for defense?

Moreover, defense-type spirit artifacts were not like some commonplace cabbages—one must realize that a greater amount of materials were required to make defense-type spirit artifacts.

This meant that they were more expensive than attack-type weapons!

Unless one owned a whole ore by themselves... Or else who could spend all their resources only on defense?

In any case, one should congratulate Shen Tian for overcoming his emotional hurdle and putting on the armor suit at last.

Since he had stacked his defense to the greatest available level, Shen Tian now felt he had the utmost confidence in facing the lightning tribulation!

Yet to his surprise, the dotted gold-colored divine lightning no longer landed at places near where he stood. Most of them landed on spots that were tens of meters away, and only a few lightning sparks landed near him.

And handling all that splattering effect due to the lightning was just a piece of cake.

All at once, Shen Tian felt that he had been tricked into wearing female clothes.

It was then that a sense of relaxation washed over him. Shen Tian almost felt like he could float up in the air!

What!? So this is the feeling of wearing female clothes?

Shen Tian stopped himself in his thoughts.

Nope, this cannot be! Something's wrong here!

A flash of inspiration struck Shen Tian, and he finally remembered—this feeling of deep relaxation was not a first experience for him.

In fact, every time his providence improved, he would have such a feeling.

At that thought, Shen Tian quickly took out a mirror from his bosom pocket.

He was stunned as he saw the halo on his head.

But... it cannot be!

Previously I had been predicting fortuitous opportunities for others, and my providence halo had already transformed into a deep green color.

But why did it turn back to lush green again? Does it mean that my providence could still worsen?

It was then that Shen Tian realized—perhaps all this was due to the fact that he had made a breakthrough in his cultivation due to the Tinder Sutra.

In the cultivation world, the Tinder Sutra was rumored to be a cursed cultivation technique. People who cultivated this technique would become ill-fated.

Although Shen Tian had seen Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus's providence halo, which was flecked with black spots, he was still having doubts about this rumor's authenticity.

Yet now, he believed that this rumor might really have some truth to it. Otherwise, there was no other explanation as to why his providence had turned worse.

No wonder that even though I was aiming for the city, I ended up being trapped in this valley and had to hide within bushes.

So it was all due to the Tinder Body-Tempering Art. Sigh... Now my halo is not that green again.

However, his providence worsening was just one of the questions that Shen Tian was feeling so puzzled over.

What made him really surprised was that now, his providence halo was transforming once again!

That lush-green halo started to darken, and it was turning back to a deep-green color!

In fact, it turned into an even deeper shade of green than before. It was now as dark a green as possible, and it looked extremely vibrant.

...Well, I can still understand that my providence worsened due to cultivating the Tinder Sutra. But how come it's improving again?

Surely... It can't be that wearing female clothes can improve my providence, right!?

Chapter 151: All The Lucky Guy Should Die

Shen Tian had done his research before. When he shared the fortuitous opportunity with others, his providence would increase too.

The more he gave others the opportunities, the better his providence. Getting 50% of the benefits was the maximum limit he could have.

However, he had never thought that crossdressing would increase providence too. It just did not make sense!

Is Heavenly the Dao a pervert that likes crossdressing?

Shen Tian thought to himself as he refined the V Divine Lightning (Earth) around him.

Suddenly, he understood everything.

The increase in providence was not due to the fact that he crossdressed. If he was right, it was because Zhao Hao had recovered.

Zhao Hao had a half-black and half-gold providence halo. It was very special.

The greatest fortuitous opportunity he had recently was encountering Sword Venerable Qian Yang with the Nan Ming Li Fire's Origins and his body recovering.

Lu Ji had just defeated Sword Venerable Qian Yang, and the Nan Ming Li Fire's Origins had escaped with part of his soul.

Looking at the time, Zhao Hao should have met this Venerable. Since Shen Tian had asked Zhao Hao to wait in the valley, he had helped Zhao Hao in a way. Thus, his providence improved.

It was normal to have his halo to become dark green now.

Upon thinking of this, Shen Tian felt relieved for himself.

Luckily, crossdressing did not play a part in it. Otherwise, he would have to wear it frequently in the future!

Shen Tian made up his mind to get rid of this ridiculous outfit the moment he had the chance. It would be a dark part of his life that no one would ever find out. It would be the last time Shen Tian wore them.

It was just so embarrassing, so he was not going to do it again!

Aside from Shen Tian, Lu Ji was still undergoing her tribulation transcendence.

After losing the head, the Qilin Divine Lightning was weakened and was defeated in no time. The lightning was shattered into thousands of sparks, and the entire valley was filled with it.

When Lu Ji reappeared, her face was very pale, and her armor was broken—it was very revealing. Her body was covered in scars. There was lightning sparkling on her scars, and it was filled with power.

This had given Lu Ji a hard time to heal her wounds.

After receiving all five elements' lightning damage, she had used too much of her power. Although she had won the fight, she was badly wounded by Sword Venerable Qian Yang too.

There was Nan Ming Li Fire in his sword aura, and it contained the power of the sun. The sword aura had pierced through the Divine Devouring Vine's main vine, and the Nan Ming Li Fire was burning wildly inside Lu Ji's body.

She was not at her strongest moment now, and she was just pushing to her limit.

However, it was not over yet. The strongest Heavenly Tribulation was waiting for her.

The air's lightning power started to vibrate violently and gathered around the dark cloud that was forming in the sky. The cloud drew Spirit Qi from kilometers away, and five hideous lightning avatars appeared in the sky.

The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Crimson Phoenix, Black Tortoise, and Mighty Qilin avatars were roaring and mixing in the sky.

Soon, a huge figure was formed.

It had five sides, each with a legendary creature's shape.

Five kinds of power were growing in the figure and mixing into one.

The white, azure, black, red, and yellow flashes of lightning mixed together and formed a bright golden color.

The color was very similar to the Mixed Divine Lightning on Shen Tian's forehead, but it looked nobler and more majestic.

Upon seeing the giant figure, Shen Tian understood something.

He recalled the last chapter of the Divine Firmament's Lightning Imperial Sutra. It was the forbidden chapter, Decalamity. It was about understanding the fundamentals of lightning arts through Heavenly Tribulation.

It was the ultimate core part of the Lightning Imperial Sutra as it allowed the Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique cultivators to form Mixed Divine Lightning.

So, Divine Firmament's Lightning Imperial Sutra's strongest heritage art is an art that needs to be inferred from the Heavenly Tribulation?

Shen Tian was very impressed by the Lightning Emperor. He had made use of the Heavenly Tribulation to be his 'mentor' and had tried to mimic it and succeeded!

No wonder he's the Divine Firmament Lightning Emperor! He's really a genius!

No wonder the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground was so powerful thousands of years ago.

This art is indeed very powerful!

Knowing that it would be a rare chance, Shen Tian quickly used his mystic arts to observe the lightning figure in the sky. Not all cultivators would encounter the Mixed Divine Lightning Tribulation Transcendence. It was very rare!

Shen Tian was a Foundation Establishment cultivator now, and he needed to build his Dharmic foundation as stable as possible. Coincidently, he had the Five Elements Lightnings, and his Dharmic foundation had five sides, each representing a legendary creature. It was very similar to the giant figure in the sky.

Shen Tian did not want to waste this chance!

Thus, he quickly summoned his Dharmic power in his body and built up his Dharmic foundation.

Divine Emblems that were similar to the ones in the sky were engraved on his Dharmic foundation. These emblems were very mysterious. Shen Tian could not make sense out of them despite knowing the Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique.

It's just like an exam. Although I cannot understand the questions and the answers, I can still get some points for copying the steps.

Of course, Shen Tian was very focused when making these emblems. It was nothing like building a sandcastle by the beach. He could suffer a Qi Deviation if he was not careful enough.

However, maybe Decalamity was really very mysterious as nothing seemed to go wrong with Shen Tian's Dharmic foundation. Instead, his Dharmic foundation started to exude a mysterious vibe.

The lightning on the surface had disappeared, and Shen Tian could feel that his body was resonating with the Lightning Heavenly Tribulation as though they were built the same way.

Shen Tian secretly built up his Dharmic foundation in the corner and cultivated Decalamity.

Slow and steady win the race!

On the other hand, Lu Ji was very depressed by the power of the Five Lightning figure in the sky.

All the sides of this figure had the power of the Mighty Qilin V. If it made an attack now, she did not have the confidence to survive even if she was not wounded.

It was almost impossible for her to survive the sixth lightning tribulation.

Lu Ji stared at the lightning tribulation and shouted, "Heavenly Dao! You are so unfair!

"It's okay! I admit my defeat! But I'm not that easily killed!"

Boom!

The entire valley began to collapse, and the giant Divine Devouring Vine hidden underneath appeared.

It had the color of jade, and it was glittering with beautiful light. However, all the roots and vines cramped together and started to rot. They had lost all their beautiful looks and formed drips of crystal clear liquid.

Shen Tian was so touched when he saw the liquid.

It was the fortuitous opportunity he had seen in Fang Chang's halo!

Fang Chang found it easily while taking a stroll in the Fog Plain. Why did I have to undergo so much trouble for it!?

There was only one thought in Shen Tian's mind now.

All the lucky guys should die!

Chapter 152: Little Five Elements Yang Divine Lightning Art

The huge Divine Devouring Vine was withering at an incredible speed, while its life essence turned into a silver and white light.

Soon, the light was formed into an unknown liquid.

Judging from the color, it was very similar to the First Essence Heavy Water, however, it had completely different attributes.

Before Shen Tian absorbed and refined the First Essence Heavy Water, it was very strong and aggressive. This liquid, on the other hand, was filled with life. It was very pleasant to look at.

After seeing the liquid, Shen Tian's Tinder Sutra inside reacted excitedly—it badly wanted the liquid!

The reaction was even stronger than the first time Shen Tian encountered it.

Of course, Shen Tian did not lose his mind.

Lu Ji was not dead yet, so it would be suicidal if he went to snatch the liquid now.

He had to keep calm in such a situation!

Shen Tian hid behind a rock and concealed his presence.

He had the Phoenix Feather Mask, and Lu Ji did not bother to check her surroundings anymore. Thus, Shen Tian was not exposed until now. With the help of the mud and rocks, he was very hard to notice.

Finally, when the entire Divine Devouring Vine withered, only one last vine remained. It was glowing with a bright color.

The vine started to transform slowly and was bound with Lu Ji's soul. It was Lu Ji's real appearance, and she was much more powerful than just now.

She jumped toward the Five Lightning figure. The ground underneath her cracked, and the shockwave destroyed the ground hundreds of meters around her.

Boom!

A green light shone brightly through the dust and debris, smacked into the Five Lightning figure, and exploded.

Lu Ji had chosen to end her life!

She wanted to choose how her life ended! She wanted to die with dignity!

Lu Ji's suicide attack was so powerful that nothing could compare to it. The green light after the explosion was even brighter than the color of the lightnings.

The figure in the sky began to crack, and the Mixed Lightning fell on the ground like stones. The valley was covered in lightning, and there was golden light everywhere.

"Others said that the Heavenly Dao favored no one, but why are you taking the humans' side? You are so unfair!

"I'm not happy with the result. Although I've died today, I'll come back again!

"No one can stop me from doing that!"

Lu Ji's laughter echoed throughout the valley.

Shen Tian had no time to know what happened. He felt many things when the Five Lightning figure cracked.

Initially, he could not understand it very well.

However, when the explosion had cracked the figure, Shen Tian managed to explore more on the figure with Decalamity.

He felt that he was part of the Heavenly Tribulation.

He felt that his Dharmic foundation was very similar to the one in the sky, and the Divine Emblems started to change. The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Crimson Phoenix, Black Tortoise, and Mighty Qilin avatars appeared.

Shen Tian felt that the lightning particles floating in the air were very close to him, and they would not injure him at all. He even had a hunch that he could use part of the power of the Heavenly Tribulation.

The feeling was very strange. Shen Tian was very puzzled by his thoughts.

He sat in the debris and closed his eyes.

The cloud dispersed, but the lightning particles were still around. Then, Shen Tian let out a loud cry and drew all these particles toward him.

As more lightning particles entered Shen Tian's body, his lightning marking on his forehead was much brighter than before.

Soon, the marking on Shen Tian's glabella was as bright as the sun.

Mysterious markings ran down Shen Tian's body. These markings were gold in color too.

It was like wearing armor that had the look of gold.

As the markings appeared, Shen Tian's body was changed slightly by the Mixed Divine Lightning too.

The Divine Firmament's Lightning Imperial Sutra only had three core arts other than the fundamental things.

First, Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique. It was specially for ranged attacks made from Divine Lightning.

Second, Lightning Emperor Body-Tempering Art. It was specially for melee fights by enhancing one's body.

However, these two were not mutually exclusive. They were very useful for each other too.

When one succeeded in cultivating the Lightning Emperor Body-Tempering Art, they could form the Five Elements Lightning Spirit Constitution. This allowed the cultivators to be much more powerful when using the same skill.

For example, Zhang Yunxi's VII Lightning Spirit Constitution and Zhang Yunting's I Lightning Spirit Constitution were very powerful.

Fang Chang had even managed to form two constitutions. Thus, his ability was unquestionable among his peers.

However, the Yin-Yang Five Elements Lightning Spirit Constitution was not the *Lightning Emperor Body-Tempering Art'*s ultimate constitution—it was just the fundamental.

Only with Decalamity's help and forming the Mixed Divine Lightning would the Lightning Emperor Body-Tempering Art be much stronger.

Then, one could cultivate both Little Five Elements Yin Divine Lightning and the Yang one. Not to mention the incredibly strong Mixed Divine Lightning Art.

If one managed to master the Great Five Elements Divine Lightning Art, they would be the new Lightning Emperor and ruler of lightning!

No lightning would even injure them again, and all lightning would follow their will.

Rumors said that when the Lightning Emperor managed to reach this far, he could control all the lightning on the earth!

However, being able to cultivate the Great Five Elements Divine Lightning Art was very hard, let alone mastering it.

Even when the Divine Firmament had been very powerful centuries ago, there had hardly been any cultivators who could use the Great Five Elements Divine Lightning. Then, the forbidden chapter had been lost, and without Decalamity, even Little Five Elements Divine Lightning would be super rare.

Zhang Longyuan had managed to become the Sacred Leader with just Little Five Elements Divine Lightning. He had been much more powerful than his peers at that time.

Thus, the Mixed Divine Lightning Art was really important!

Shen Tian had absorbed lots of the Divine Lightning Origin previously from the Divine Firmament Drager Pendant, and it was very helpful in making the Great Five Elements Divine Lightning.

Now, his Dharmic foundation responded violently with the Heavenly Tribulation, and it absorbed more Yang Five Elements power.

Then, Shen Tian realized his Tinder Body-Tempering Art was mixing with Decalamity now. It was mimicking the Lightning Emperor Body Tempering Art!

His body... was learning the Little Five Elements Yang Divine Lightning Art!

Chapter 153: Something Happened To Him? I'll Be Right There!

At Eastern Wilderness, Fog City's Imperial Palace...

It had been a full day since the Divine Binding Vine had created a commotion.

Divine Firmament's protective array was still working, and everyone had high hope of it.

They noticed that the fog was slowly dispersing, and it was not as dense as before. Although their divine consciousness was still affected, it was much better than before. Their visibility improved too.

All the cultivators were very happy and joyful. It was like getting a cell phone signal after it was down for a long time.

The Hidden Fog Country's king had informed all the cultivators that they would help build a golden statue for Shen Tian after the fog dispersed completely.

Everyone was very happy in the palace except for Zhang Yunxi. Only she knew that Shen Tian was not fighting any monster in the Fog Plain.

Each second wasted here puts Junior Brother in greater danger! I can't wait anymore!

Zhang Yunxi said firmly to the Hidden Fog Country's king, "Please inform the Supremacies to maintain the array formation. I'll go check on the Divine Binding Vines to see if they're gone for good. Before I return, no one is allowed to leave the palace."

Then, Zhang Yunxi's Clear Light Armor Suit shone brightly before she made her way into the fog.

As Zhang Yunxi went deeper into the fog, her divine consciousness was more affected.

Slowly, she started to be confused about her direction. She knew that the fog was very special, and it could block all the senses of a cultivator.

Fortunately, the fog was not as dense now, so Zhang Yunxi managed to fight off the confusion.

Roar!

The avatar of the White Tiger appeared, and the spirit fog surrounding her dispersed a little.

Finally, Zhang Yunxi took out a long sword from her back and fought her way out of the fog.

Soon, she was out of the fog zone, and Zhang Yunxi felt alive once again.

However, she did not celebrate that. Shen Tian was still missing, and she had no clue where he was.

Although Zhang Yunxi was very independent, this was not something she could handle by herself.

She took a token out of her pocket and directed her dharmic power into the token. "Father, can you hear me? I have something to tell you."

At Divine Firmament Small World, Sacred Leader's Palace...

The Divine Firmament's Sacred Leader sat on his throne, his body covered in immortal light.

Azure Lotus was complaining in the center of the palace.

"Junior Brother, are you tricking me? Why did I lose one day of memory?"

The Sacred Leader smiled and said lightly, "What did I have to do with that?"

Azure Lotus snorted. "Stop pretending! I have double-checked. My lost memory is the day that I brought Shen Tian back. Also, I've asked around. Junior Sister Golden Lotus was around that day. You guys must have been doing something that day!"

Suddenly, he remembered something and shouted, "Oh! I see! I'm the one who invented the Reverse Yin-Yang Divine Lightning, right? You guys wanted to keep my invention and make a profit for yourselves?

"Zhang Longyuan! I did not expect you to be this kind of person! I treated you like a brother all this while!"

Azure Lotus' face was covered in sadness. He felt very betrayed.

The lightning and heavenly aura around the Sacred Leader's body started to jump around violently. He knew that his Senior Brother was very shameless, but he did not expect this coming from him.

The Sacred Leader said calmly, "Senior Brother, do you have evidence for that? How could you make such a claim without evidence?"

Azure Lotus retorted, "I'm blaming you without evidence? Do you think fifth-grade Forgetting Pills are that common? For me to lose my memory, it must be at least a pseudo-sixth-grade Forgetting Pill!

"Who would carry such things around in the sacred ground other than you? Tell me!

Also, darn you, Junior Brother! I'm the one who lost the Divine Firmament Drager Pendant? Yeah right! I've checked my memory too! The Drager Pendant went missing on that day too!

"Zhang Longyuan! How could you do this to me!? I thought you were my brother! I'm so heartbroken now. Nothing could heal it other than 10 Spirit Mountains!"

Seeing Azure Lotus finally reveal his true intention, the Sacred Leader was relaxed.

The Sacred Leader replied, "Sure since Senior Brother wants your memory back, I'll let you recall what happened."

Then, he tapped on his throne, and a ray of light appeared. It was showing a 3D image of Shen Tian and the old priest.

The Sacred Leader had recreated the scene on that day to show his Senior Brother.

Of course, the principle of the Yin-Yang Lightning Explosion Talisman was skipped in the animated image. Everything else that happened in the Sacred Leader's Palace was playing normally.

Azure Lotus was shocked by what he was watching!

"If I regret, then I'll be the son of a b*tch!"

"Senior Brother, say that you're the son of a b*tch for me to hear first."

"I'm the son of a b*tch."

"You have to promise me three conditions."

"If Senior Brother refuses to teach Shen Tian the Tinder Body-Tempering Art, or you're reserved in your teachings, you are forfeiting this trade."

"Senior Brother, I don't feel like teaching him any Body Tempering Art..."

"If I regret, then I'll be the son of a b*tch!"

"I did not go back on my words, hehehehehe~"

The animated image finally ended.

The lightning and heavenly aura around the Sacred Leader's body started to jump around violently like never before. Even his voice was shaking. "Senior Brother, as you see, I kept my promise."

Azure Lotus was so embarrassed by this and shouted, "I'll not let you go away with this!"

Just when Azure Lotus was about to start a fight, the Sacred Leader paused for a moment.

The Sacred Leader Token flew out of his pocket, and a hologram was formed on it.

It was Zhang Yunxi. "Father, I have something to tell you."

The Sacred Leader took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

Although Azure Lotus was still angry, he knew what was more important. Otherwise, his Junior Brother would seriously beat him up.

"Xi'er, what happened?"

"Father, something happened in the Fog Plain. Large numbers of Nascent Soul Divine Binding Vines attacked the city."

"Nascent Soul Divine Binding Vines? I'll ask Fang Chang and Yunting to help you out!"

Zhang Yunxi shook her head and said, "I don't think they are enough. It is very strange. I believe something is going to happen soon. Junior Brother Yundi and other cultivators with Mixed Divine Lightning are trapped in Fog City too."

"All trapped? I'll ask Azure Lotus to go and help them."

"Also, Junior Brother Shen is in Fog City too. He has been missing for a day now."

The lightning and heavenly aura around the Sacred Leader vibrated even more!

"Fog City, right? I'll be right there!"

Chapter 154: Tian'er Must Stay

After the transmission ended, the Sacred Leader stood tall and upright in the palace. The lightning and heavenly aura surged throughout the whole palace, while the 10 totem pillars that were carved with divine beasts and emitting lightning trembled slightly.

Boom!

Suddenly, the divine beasts' avatars appeared on the totem pillars and entered the Sacred Leader's body.

The old Taoist priest pursed his lips upon seeing how anxious the Sacred Leader was.

"Junior Brother, what are you so nervous about?" He said in a bantering manner, "Didn't you say that Shen Tian is the Son of Providence, blessed by the heavens, so there definitely won't be any accidents?"

The Sacred Leader had once resolutely told Azure Lotus that some people were blessed with providence, and they were born to be adored by the Heavenly Dao. He had also said that even if those people encountered dangers when they traveled outside, they would definitely get out of the jaws of danger or even kill their enemies instead and obtain huge benefits.

From the Sacred Leader's point of view, Shen Tian was such a person. Thus, was there a need for the Sacred Leader to be this worried now?

The Sacred Leader looked at Azure Lotus as if he was looking at an idiot upon hearing his question.

"Senior Brother, it can't be that you're so dumb to really think I'm going there to save Tian'er, right?"

Azure Lotus was stunned. "Or else, why are you so nervous for?"

The Sacred Leader said coldly, "Senior Brother, you should read more books! Learn and study from good books!"

Azure Lotus flew into a rage out of shame. "Zhang Longyuan, I've tolerated you for too long. You're humiliating me again! Didn't you say that that kid wouldn't encounter dangers? So why are you panicking this much when the kid goes missing this time?

"Haha, I acknowledge that this kid is quite smart as he was actually able to create the Yin-Yang Lightning Talisman. However, he is cultivating the Tinder Sutra, meaning his luck will definitely deteriorate!

"You see? This time everyone was safe except him, just he alone went missing!"

The Sacred Leader replied coldly, "Dumb. I've never thought that Tian'er disappearing this time is something bad. If you had carefully looked through the life story of 1,000 people blessed by providence, Senior Brother, then you would discover that the bigger the disaster, the larger the opportunity!

"It would be a catastrophe for normal unlucky people, but those blessed by providence are different!

"They will unexpectedly encounter fortuitous opportunities, such as Sages battling and causing destruction to common people, but in the end, they die together only for their inheritance to be picked up by providence-blessed individuals.

"Or such as an unmatched genius that spent all the energy he had, undergoing nirvana to improve to a higher grade bloodline, but was subdued by providence-blessed individuals during their weakest period.

"Or some chaste Saintess that was injured by evil demons, thus being infected with aphrodisiac poison. She would meet some providence-blessed individual and spend a night with him.

"These events seem to be nonsensical or illogical, but they are true legendary experiences.

"Do you really think that in this Fog Plain event, Tian'er was the only one that went missing because he is unlucky?

"You're wrong! My dumb Senior Brother, this precisely proves that he is blessed by providence!

"I can guarantee that currently, Tian'er must have definitely encountered a fortuitous opportunity!"

Azure Lotus was astounded upon realizing how convinced the Sacred Leader was.

"What did you say? You say that the reason this kid has gone missing is that he has encountered a fortuitous opportunity? Do you think I'm dumb? If he can encounter a fortuitous opportunity, I'll be—"

As if recalling something, Azure Lotus forcibly stopped himself.

The Sacred Leader said coldly, "You think you're not dumb? Senior Brother, I'm begging you to count.

"Please, read more books in the future. Actually, the reason why I'm heading to the Fog City this time is to back him up!

"Ever since Tian'er entered our sect, he has helped us find the 'Decalamity' and helped us create the Yin-Yang Water Inverse Divine Lightning. He has also contributed so much to our sect, but our sect has yet to give him much or help him in return. His sense of belonging is not enough.

"Thus, this time, Tian'er's disappearance is a rare chance to let him feel the warmth of the sacred ground. I must let Tian'er know that our sacred ground values him and make him feel closer to the sacred ground.

"Even if he does not encounter any danger by going missing this time, I have to let him see our sacred ground's attitude!

"Tian'er is the Saint, so our sacred ground will definitely protect him no matter what, even if the world is our enemy!"

After finishing, the Sacred Leader tore open space and instantly formed a void portal.

Azure Lotus twitched his mouth. "I just don't believe that this kid is really blessed by providence in such a weird way. Everything was coincidental previously. How is it possible for someone blessed by providence to cultivate the Tinder Sutra? This time, I'll go with you to Fog City."

The Sacred Leader stepped into the void portal, and Azure Lotus followed tightly behind.

Light and shadows moved rapidly in front of their eyes as they traveled 5,000 kilometers through mountains and rivers.

A special locating array formation was carved on the Saint and Saintess Tokens to detect their positions. Shen Tian's Saint Token was within the area enshrouded by the spirit fog, so it was concealed and could not be detected.

Fortunately, Zhang Yunxi was already outside the Spirit Fog. Thus, the Sacred Leader could sense the Saintess Token, set the spatial node beside the Saintess Token, and travel through space.

Zhang Zunxi was floating above Fog City. She had completely relaxed after communicating with the Sacred Leader. Her father was an absolute legend, in her heart so as long as he came, nothing was a problem.

Junior Brother, no matter where you are now, you must endure!

The space gradually twisted, and a bright space portal appeared in front of her.

At that moment, the phenomenon of lightning surging for hundreds of thousands of meters between heaven and earth appeared, and lightning struck from the originally clear sky.

There were not one bit of black clouds, but lightning could be seen in the sky, releasing endless domineering aura.

The avatars of the divine beasts—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Crimson Phoenix, Black Tortoise, Mighty Qilin, Soaring Snake, Heaven Emperor, Cosmos, and Heaven Empress—gradually appeared.

Each divine beast avatar was hundreds of meters tall as if they were really invincible divine beasts that had descended from the heavens.

That's right, that was the power of a person in the Saint realm, the means of the peerless Sacred Leader of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, Zhang Longyuan!

Behind the space portal, a stalwart figure gradually appeared, surrounded by lightning. There seemed to be endless heavenly aura floating and sinking around him as if he was really a Perfected Immortal from the heavens.

That person was none other than the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader. He looked at Zhang Yunxi coldly. "Yunxi, tell me what happened in detail."

Zhang Yunxi nodded and recounted to the Sacred Leader, everything that had happened in the Fog Plain these few days.

He learned that Shen Tian had casually helped give directions to people in Fog Town that allowed them to obtain precious fortuitous opportunities.

Azure Lotus's eyes instantly turned green!

What heavenly skill is that!? Junior Brother, I'm wrong, I'm really wrong! Just what did I miss!?

Meanwhile, the Sacred Leader seemed calm and collected, but he had secretly confirmed his thoughts in his heart.

That's right! Tian'er's definitely the Son of Providence. No, he's definitely the Son of the Heavenly Dao!

He's actually freaking divining the future for people! Everyone else takes it as a forbidden art or mystic technique for predicting the future! Yet you're using such a supreme mystic technique so frequently to help people find Sexual Spirit Chrysanthemum and Fog Herbs?

Such a statement could only fool those inexperienced! I can confirm that he definitely guessed using his luck!

Previously in the Myriad Spirit Garden, he used his luck to guess the Spirit Ores. Now, he can help people find treasures by just randomly pointing a direction in the Fog Plain.

My judgment is definitely correct. Tian'er is definitely the rare person with the ultimate blessing by providence.

What Purple Mansion Sacred Ground Saint, Qi Shaoxuan? He's nothing before Tian'er!

As long as Tian'er stays in the sacred ground, our sacred ground's rise will become a reality in the near future!

Chapter 155: Shen·Super Saiyan·Tian

After hearing the causes and effects of the whole matter, the Sacred Leader looked toward Fog City. He gradually stretched out his right hand, and the heavenly aura fluctuated slightly. Then, a part of the spirit fog came to his hand.

The Sacred Leader sensed for a moment and nodded calmly. "This is a special type of illusory-type Dharma array. The cultivation level of the person that built the array is quite high, almost entering the Saint realm. The person's strength might not be weaker than normal Tribulation Transcendence cultivators."

Zhang Yunxi asked, "Father, Junior Brother Shen is still missing. Is there any way to disperse this spirit fog?"

The Sacred Leader replied coldly, "It's not difficult to disperse the spirit fog near this city."

As he finished, the Sacred Leader used hand seals, and radiant lightning suddenly appeared in the sky, striking toward that thin spirit fog. Everywhere the lightning struck, all the spirit fog seemed to evaporate, disappearing completely.

In a short moment, the spirit fog near Fog City and Fog Town was cleared.

In that instant, the clear sky could be seen, and there were no obstacles to one's sense of sight any longer.

Everyone in Fog City could clearly see the Sacred Leader in the sky, so they bowed down to him. The cultivation world respected the strong, especially Tribulation Transcendence cultivators. They were the most powerful beings at the peak of this world.

A Golden Core cultivator was called Perfected One, a Nascent Soul one as Supremacy, and a Soul Formation one as Heavenly Venerable. However, to Tribulation Transcendence Sages, those below them were all nobodies.

Not bowing to Sages was a huge crime, so nobody would redress it as injustice even if one died.

Qin Yundi and the others hurriedly used their flying swords to enter the clouds upon seeing the Sacred Leader.

"We greet the Sacred Leader!"

Everyone bowed.

Eunuch Gui's eyes were filled with worry as he knelt onto the ground and kowtowed. "Sacred Leader! His Highness has been missing for a long time! Please, you must save him!"

The Sacred Leader gradually lifted his hand, then Eunuch Gui, who was banging his head heavily against the ground, suddenly felt his whole body was lifted. He was unable to kneel anymore.

The Sacred Leader nodded. "You're loyal and devoted, wanting to save your master wholeheartedly. Tian'er is lucky to have an attendant like you."

Zhang Yunxi, who was beside him, also asked, "Father, can you sense where Junior Brother Shen is?"

The heavenly aura surrounding the Sacred Leader fluctuated slightly as he saw how worried Zhang Yunxi was.

"Very good. Being in the same sect, you should care about your Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers like this. You don't need to worry. Tian'er should not be in any danger."

The Sacred Leader took out the Sacred Leader Token, closed his eyes, and started sensing. He opened his eyes after a long time, and his heavenly aura trembled slightly.

"It is indeed, as I expected. My sense of the Saint Token is blocked once it enters the Fog Plain. He should be deep within the Fog Plain. However, don't worry. With me here, no one can harm Tian'er at all in this Fog Plain!"

The words of the Sacred Leader made everyone heave a sigh of relief. Eunuch Gui was so excited he teared up. He was someone who had seen Shen Tian undergoing all kinds of hardships before reaching this point—he was like family!

Eunuch Gui had been torn all this time due to Shen Tian's disappearance. Now that the Sacred Leader had finally appeared and was willing to guarantee His Highness' safety to the best of his strength, Eunuch Gui heaved a sigh of relief.

The Sacred Leader cares for His Highness so much. Her Majesty would be happy if she knew it.

Zhang Yunxi said, "Father, now that the whole Fog Plain has been enshrouded by the spirit fog, which blocks divine consciousness, are we able to enter?"

The Sacred Leader shook his head. "That person had turned the Fog Plain into their own domain. It's extremely tricky. If we want to enter their domain to save someone, we need to completely destroy it.

"If Tian'er were not within the Fog Plain, then there would be no problem. I can destroy it within an instant! However, Tian'er is currently within the Fog Plain, so I cannot be too violent in case I injure Tian'er."

Flags shot out of the lightning and heavenly aura toward the sky in the distance and drilled into the ground surrounding the Fog Plain.

The Sacred Leader said, "I'll set up the Divine Firmament Heaven Refining Array with the Divine Firmament Lightning Emperor Flags, then refine all the spirit fog in the entire Fog Plain! By then, without the spirit fog blocking our divine consciousness, we can quickly find where Tian'er is and save him."

The Sacred Leader's words shocked everyone. Was it really possible to refine the whole Fog Plain's spirit fog?

One had to know that the Fog Plain's spirit fog had been there for thousands of years!

Zhang Yunxi said in concern, "Father, dispersing the spirit fog won't injure Junior Brother Shen Tian, right?"

The Sacred Leader shook his head. "Naturally, I will control the array and ensure I won't harm Tian'er accidentally.

"Although the consumption of Dharmic powers will increase by a few times or even result in serious injuries, as his Master, I'm like a father to him. Since he is my disciple, I will naturally protect him with all my strength.

"I will do my best to disperse the spirit fog as soon as possible to save Tian'er. No one is to tell this to Tian'er."

Lightning and heavenly aura surrounded the Sacred Leader. He looked majestic, while his words sounded fearless and heroic.

At that instant, Liu Taiyi, Song Fugui, Eunuch Gui, Qin Gao, and the others had ardor and zeal coursing through their blood after listening—their sense of belonging to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had increased greatly!

The Sacred Leader is actually willing to be injured heavily for his disciple! Such sincere dedication without asking anything in return! He's too selfless!

The fallen petals, in return, will transform into soil to nourish the flower in spring[1]. One shall find flames where tree leaves dance, the fire's shadow will illuminate the village, and once again, tree leaves shall bud anew[2].

This is the will of our Divine Firmament Sacred Ground? It's too moving!

Most disciples were moved to the point of tears after hearing Sacred Leader's words, but the old Taoist priest at the side kept on rolling his eyes.

Shameless! A Sacred Leader is actually this shameless!

What f*cking setting up the Divine Firmament Heaven Refining Array might result in serious injuries? You're one of the strongest Sages in this generation, and you even have the Lightning Emperor Flags!

You tell me that you'll be seriously injured by dispersing the spirit fog array of the Fog Plain? Shame on you!

Try your best to disperse the spirit fog to save Shen Tian? You're not allowed to tell him after he is saved and returns safely!?

With Li Yunfeng around, it'll be ridiculous if they can keep the secret!

Meanwhile, as long as Li Yunfeng catches wind of it, that means the whole sacred ground knows!

Are you even planning to pretend to be emotionless, cold on the outside, but warm on the inside, and let Shen Tian discover accidentally?

Then, he will be so touched to the point of tears?

Tsk, tsk… Cunning!

As a Sacred Leader, he's really cunning!

Even though he's being this shameless, no one knows. On the contrary, everyone will think that he is a noble saint!

At that moment, Azure Lotus was green with envy. He was considering whether he should start to read more books. The more books he read, the better he could do such things that were so shameless without any shortcomings!

I'm so jealous!

While the Sacred Leader was setting up the Divine Firmament Heaven Refining Array to refine the whole plain's spirit fog, Shen Tian, who was within the mountain valley, finally opened his eyes.

The golden lightning flowed like water on the surface of his body before completely entering his body and gathering between his brows.

His hair had also stood upright under the Mixed Divine Lightning stimulation—it was dyed a radiant gold by the lightning.

He felt that his physical body had transformed to become more powerful as his affinity with lightning had soared.

At the same time, Shen Tian felt that the Mixed Divine Lightning between his brows had also become much more obedient, and he could use it at any time. He even discovered that he could use the Mixed Divine Lightning to stimulate his physical body and improve it to the extreme.

Shen Tian's appearance now looked similar to that of the legendary Super Saiyan!

Not only did his speed and strength increase greatly, but his attack might even have additional numbing effects.

Presently, Shen Tian felt that… he was invincible!

Chapter 156: PDA Results In Death

As Shen Tian stood up, the joints in his whole body were cackling.

The golden lightning returned between his brows, and his hair, which was originally standing up, also dropped back down.

He turned to look around. Shen Tian discovered that the huge mountain valley had turned into complete ruins now.

His whole body was covered in dust and ashes, and he looked like he was in a mess, which upset him.

"Blow it all away!"

A surge of his Qi turned into a blower, exploding out from within Shen Tian's body.

In an instant, all the dust and ashes were blown away, and his clothes were clean once again.

Currently, Shen Tian was wearing his armor, and on his face was the Phoenix Feather Mask. He stood there proudly, aloof from the world with unparalleled manner and deportment!

He looked at the center of the mountain valley, which was hollow, and hesitated for that moment.

Should I go and check the situation?

According to the scene of the fortuitous opportunity in Fang Chang's halo, this should be the opportunity he encountered, but the timing was not correct.

That's right, Shen Tian had come too early…

According to the situation analysis, if Shen Tian had come later by one to two days, he would not encounter the Divine Binding Vines attacking the city.

Of course, with Shen Tian's halo, he might not be able to find this place by himself.

Thus, in conclusion, it could be said to be a blessing in disguise. Currently, it was still worth it.

The Fog Plain's spirit fog had yet to disperse, so it enshrouded the mountain once again.

However, after devouring a large amount of Divine Binding Vine juices, Shen Tian's immunity toward the Spirit Fog had also reached an extremely high degree. He could vaguely see that there were no movements within the mountain valley, so Lu Ji should have turned into ashes under the Heavenly Tribulation.

Haha, who told you to PDA in front of me?

After cultivating for thousands of years, don't you even know the logic of the more you PDA, the faster you die?

Of course, even so, Shen Tian did not recklessly barge into the center of the mountain valley, but instead, he took the long way round. He wanted to observe the center of the mountain valley from all directions to ensure that there would not be problems like previously.

Since Lu Ji was a powerful being that tried transcending the tribulation, who knew if she had anything else up her sleeves?

Shen Tian walked around the mountain valley, and his eyes suddenly lit up as he saw something good. There was a ball of fire burning on the remaining withered and rotten body of the Divine Devouring Vine. It was not spreading nor extinguishing.

Shen Tian recognized that it was the Nan Ming Li Fire's Origin that Sword Venerable Qian Yang had summoned previously. It was shot out after the Nan Ming Li Fire's Origin broke apart. That was only part of the Nan Ming Li Fire's Origin, as it only had a small portion of the power of when Sword Venerable Qian Yang had the Nan Ming Li Fire's Origin in his hands.

Shen Tian saw that the ball of fire was crimson red. It was active, like a small phoenix, and seemed to be quite powerful.

Meanwhile, when Shen Tian discovered this ball of flames, a familiar excited emotion surged within him again—'I want it'!

That's right, it was the energy from the Tinder Sutra, showing its desire for the flames to Shen Tian.

Shen Tian felt resigned. Why do you want to devour anything and everything!?

Nonetheless, Shen Tian was naturally willing as his cultivation technique could devour the Nan Ming Li Fire. The only thing Shen Tian was worried about was that he already had the First Essence Heavy Water in his kidney, was there still space for the Nan Ming Li Fire?

They won't directly clash with each other within me due to being incompatible, then cause me to explode, right!?

Hmm… No, I can't take the risk!

Safety is first. Cultivating is second.

At that thought, Shen Tian took out a stone box carefully. It was something he had obtained from the Spirit Venerable Divine Water's palace when he had been at the Celestial Water Immortal Abode.

There were originally three boxes, and this was one of them. It had initially been filled with First Essence Heavy Water. Shen Tian took it out, carefully placed Nan Ming Li Fire's Origin within, and sealed it.

Although his body really wanted it, Shen Tian was not a weak person that would be dominated by his body's desire. He could totally resist and not eat it!

After placing the Nan Ming Li Fire's Origin into the stone box, he stored it in his Archeon Sea Ring. Shen Tian then continued to walk in a circle around the center of the mountain valley to investigate.

Shen Tian completely circled it by one round and discovered that there was nothing wrong, so he took out his Sword Master Token and carefully headed inside. He held the Sword Master Token in his left hand and his Black Tortoise Shield in his right with the nine Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Guns floating behind him.

Currently, Shen Tian was armed to the teeth—he strived to be perfectly safe.

Finally, Shen Tian walked toward the center of the mountain valley step by step.

He saw a small silver pond in there, and it was emitting a heavenly aura.

Before Shen Tian even touched the pond water, he felt that his whole body was relaxed.

The pond of water was emitting an abundance of vitality, and it seemed as if just a drop could revive people and grow flesh from bone.

Shen Tian roughly guessed that this was the juice essence of Lu Ji, who had absorbed a vast amount of Spirit Qi these few thousands of years.

This spirit spring was created only by sacrificing 90% of the Divine Devouring Vine's physical body. The Divine Devouring Vine was 3,000 meters long, and its roots permeated the whole Spirit Fog mountain valley. Thus, the preciousness of this spirit spring could be seen—it was definitely a priceless treasure!

One had to know that even if Fang Chang, who had a gold halo, only obtained a small pool of spirit spring…

Eh? Cough, cough… Wait!!!

Shen Tian was astounded.

Something is wrong!

That's right! It's too much!

Why would there be this much!?

In the scene of Fang Chang's fortuitous opportunity, it was just a small spirit spring, at most about half a cubic meter. However, the spirit spring Shen Tian saw now was far beyond just half a cubic meter!

This is a freaking small pond!

After a casual look, Shen Tian knew that the small pond was five meters wide and its depth was not shallower than one meter. In other words, this spirit spring was over 10 times more than the spirit spring Fang Chang had encountered!

This did not make Shen Tian happy at all. Instead, he instantly became extremely cautious.

Just where did the dozens of square meters of the spirit spring go? Are there other people in this mountain valley?

Shen Tian held the Sword Master Token tightly, ready to summon the sword spirit at any moment, when suddenly a small thing appeared from within the small pond, forming a small splash.

It was a one-meter-long vine, its whole body emerald in color. It squirmed its body relaxingly in the spirit spring, splashing the water. It seemed to be quite cheerful.

When it came out of the water, it instantly exchanged gazes with Shen Tian—they had directly met face to face!

They were both instantly petrified. Shen Tian and the small vine's body froze as they stared at each other without moving.

Shen Tian could feel that his palm was filled with cold sweat as he was panicking.

The color of the small vine in front of him was obviously that of a Divine Devouring Vine, and it might even be related to Lu Ji.

Who knew just how strong this small vine was? What if it could kill a Nascent Soul or Soul Formation cultivator in one shot? Wouldn't Shen Tian be dead once he made a move?

You can't see me! You can't see me!

Shen Tian kept on praying in his heart, but he did not succeed.

The miniature Divine Devouring Vine had obviously discovered Shen Tian as it attacked!

It suddenly trembled, and then silver spirit spring water was shot toward Shen Tian. Meanwhile, it abruptly headed toward the bottom of the spirit spring and started to drill into the soil crazily.

That's right, this miniature Divine Devouring Vine had chickened out and was escaping to the bottom.

Shen Tian, who was already prepared beforehand, suddenly activated his protective barrier to the maximum output. However, nothing happened to the protective barrier after the spirit spring water shot onto it.

Shen Tian sensed that the force's impact was at most equal to that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator's attack.

Seeing the miniature Divine Devouring Vine, which kept on heading deeper into the ground by drilling into the soil, it was evident that it was afraid of Shen Tian.

Shen Tian was elated.

Since you're afraid of me, then I'm not afraid of you!

Little demon, let me subdue you!

Chapter 157: The Small Demon's Resentment

After putting away his Black Tortoise Shield, Shen Tian abruptly jumped into the spirit spring. He suddenly stretched out his hand to grab the Divine Devouring Vine's root before it could completely disappear into the soil. Afterward, Shen Tian used all of his strength to pull the Divine Devouring Vine's body from the soil bit by bit.

One had to say that the Divine Devouring Vine's strength was quite powerful, as it was on par with Shen Tian's strength.

One had to know that Shen Tian cultivated the Tinder Body-Tempering Art, and he had just evolved to cultivate the Little Five Elements Yang Divine Lightning Art, so his power could be said to be invincible amongst those of the same stage.

If purely comparing strength, even a normal Golden Core cultivator might not be able to beat Shen Tian.

However, currently, Shen Tian had already exerted his full strength, but he was unable to pull out the one-meter-long vine. Evidently, this miniature Divine Devouring Vine was extraordinary and definitely a peerless divine plant!

Shen Tian was extremely excited as he held on to the small vine tightly. This was a Divine Devouring Vine, a supreme treasure even more precious than the Seven-Treasure Fairy Calabash Seed. If he could capture it and bring it back to the sacred ground, then wouldn't it be a huge profit? If not, he could at least sell it for money. There's no loss for him!

As for him rearing it himself, to be honest, Shen Tian did not have such thoughts as this Divine Devouring Vine was related to Lu Ji. What if this small vine was Lu Ji's nirvana body? After he reared it and it grew bigger, what if it sucked him dry?

Shen Tian knew the limit of his providence halo. Although the dark green halo was quite good, it was still far from being the "Son of Providence". He dared not hope for anything like the "peerless vine" would fall in love with him after being reared by him for a period of them and become wholeheartedly committed to him. He would be using his life as a bet!

Shen Tian had already thought it through—the moment he pulled this small demon out, he would seal it immediately and sell it to the sacred ground. No matter how strong the Mother Vine was, could she be compared to the Sacred Leader?

By then, if she fell in his Master's hands, he would have ways to control her!

The Divine Devouring Vine's tender body kept on struggling.

Silver liquid splashed onto Shen Tian's whole body, and dense Spirit Qi started spreading.

Shen Tian did not plan to continue the stalemate. The Mixed Divine Lightning mark between his brows started flashing. His hair, which was originally dark as ink, gradually turned golden, then his hair started standing while his aura increased rapidly.

Shen Tian let out a long roar. His whole body was shining in golden light, and the strength of his hands increased greatly as he pulled out the Divine Devouring Vine.

One inch, two inches, three inches...

The Divine Devouring Vine was trying its best to struggle, but facing Shen Tian, who was in Super Saiyan mode, it was unable to resist at all.

It almost fell in despair upon seeing that most of its body had already been pulled out of the soil.

Ka~!

A crisp breaking sound echoed before Shen Tian's hands felt no more resistance. He nearly fell as he took a few steps back, his hands still holding 2/3 of the Divine Devouring Vine.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the other 1/3 of the Divine Devouring Vine, which was only 25 centimeters long, quickly crawled into the soil.

That's right—it escaped like how a lizard would sever its limbs!

Shen Tian dashed as he wanted to pull it again, but this time, it seemed like the Divine Devouring Vine exhausted all its strength for the whole vine to enter the ground.

Lu Ji had most likely never thought that the chance of rebirth, which she had spent all of her essences to exchange, would turn this unfavorable.

Her original plan was to suck dry the Nirvana Holy Liquid in a few days. Yet, before she was able to absorb much of the liquid, she was even forced to sever her body.

One had to say that there was really karma in the cultivation world—one should never clamor against the heavens.

Take Lu Ji as an example. She had been clamoring that she would return after undergoing nirvana, and by then, who could stop her?

In the end, Shen Tian had appeared. Not only did he occupy her property, but he even wanted to snatch her body.

She was too miserable!

Shen Tian went silent upon seeing the small hole the miniature Divine Devouring Vine left after escaping.

Honestly speaking, he was reflecting that the combo he had used just now had not been smooth enough. If not, he should have been able to pull out even the remaining half of the Divine Devouring Vine, not letting it escape.

Now that the remaining half of the Divine Devouring Vine had escaped, who knew what trouble it might cause afterward. It was quite troublesome.

Fortunately, I'm still wearing my Phoenix Feather Mask. Not only is my face covered, but even my aura is completely concealed. In addition, I'm still... wearing Spirit Venerable Divine Water's battle armor. It would be impossible for Divine Devouring Vine to think that I am a man, right!?

At that thought, Shen Tian heaved a sigh of relief.

He looked at the other half of the Divine Devouring Vine on his hands.

Still, not bad.

The whole Divine Devouring Vine was one meter long, and the part he was holding was 75 centimeters long.

The torn apart was slowly oozing out milky white liquid. It was crystal clear as it shone brightly.

Suddenly, the Tinder Sutra energy within Shen Tian unleashed a powerful desire. Shen Tian instantly felt resigned as he realized he also wanted to eat a vine.

This thing looks quite delicious.

Nevertheless, it was still the same sentence. Shen Tian was not a weak person that would be dominated by low-level desires. He was very clear what the most important thing he had to do now was. Thus, he took bottles out of his Archeon Sea Ring.

Those bottles were all made of spirit jade and used to contain spirit pills, thus being able to preserve their medicinal properties to the largest extent.

Although Shen Tian did not know what use this Nirvana Spirit Spring had, it was definitely a treasure. Naturally, it should be collected to its last drop and stored properly.

A pond of Nirvana Spirit Spring that was more than 20 cubic meters, what unimaginable amount of spirit spring water was there? Just the mere notion of that would leave people slack-jawed.

Even if those bottles were carved with a simple space array formation, which increased their storage space by a few times, Shen Tian would have to use a few hundred bottles to be able to barely store such a huge spirit spring.

After collecting all the water, Shen Tian glanced at the soil, which was soaked by the spirit spring. He felt that it was a treasure too.

Since the spirit spring was made by a mixture of the Divine Devouring Vine's decomposed body, it was definitely the most nutritious fertile soil in the whole world!

If he brought this soil back to the Saint Mountain to plant stuff, such as flowers, herbs, ginseng, or ganoderma, wouldn't the effects be astonishing? Therefore, Shen Tian took out shovels from his Archeon Sea Ring and started digging the soil crazily!

In the end, the height of the soil underneath the pond had decreased by one meter. Only then did Shen Tian finally stop because there was not a drop of water anymore.

At that moment, the Hariti Rosary Beads started vibrating gently. "Master, there's resentment nearby."

'Resentment?'

Shen Tian was stunned at first, but ecstasy soon took over. His IQ and EQ were both very high, so who else would feel resentful in this place? Of course, it would be the remaining 1/3 of that small Divine Devouring Vine!

So, small demon, you haven't left. If that's the case, then don't blame me for doing what I must.

He used his divine consciousness gently to say, "Jiu'er, calm down and don't be agitated. There is a wild Divine Devouring Vine here. Tell me secretly where the resentment is coming from. I want to get closer to it quietly, then suddenly capture it. Only then would it be completely unable to escape!"

Jiu'er replied, "Okay, I can sense it. That vine is behind that stone, south-east of Master's direction!"

Shen Tian took a deep breath and did not turn to look in that direction. Instead, he calmly released his divine consciousness.

Indeed, there was a severed emerald vine behind that stone—it stuck out its head to look at Shen Tian.

Suddenly, it was as if it had sensed something and hurriedly crawled toward the bottom of the ground. It was staying as low as possible!

You still want to escape? Be obedient, and let me capture you!

Shen Tian suddenly activated his Sword Master Token, Lotus Shooting Gun, and the nine Yin Yang Demon-Penetrating Gun.

The extremely densely concentrated attacks were released toward that direction.

In but an instant, a vast expanse was bombarded!

Chapter 158: Shen·Vine·Tentacles·Tian

Boom, boom, boom!

The Spirit Iron Balls shot toward that stone, instantly smashing it into pieces. The remaining densely concentrated bullets shot toward that patch of ground, deeply etching into the ground.

Of course, the sword spirit attack's destructive power from the Sword Master Token was much more powerful.

Currently, the Sword Master Token had already absorbed enough Spirit Stones and was able to unleash its strongest attack. The Sword Master Token had directly consumed almost 5,000 Spirit Stones this time, so its attacking power was simply extraordinary!

Even if it were a weaker Nascent Soul Supremacy, one would be in extreme panic facing the sword spirit's slash as they might get injured seriously and be on the verge of dying.

When that endless sword aura landed on the ground, it had plowed that whole place from top to bottom completely. In an instant, only dust and smoke, which filled the air, could be seen.

"Black Tortoise Armor, fusion. Black Tortoise Shield, activate!"

Shen Tian was armed to the teeth once again before carefully heading toward that direction. "Jiu'er, is there any more resentment?"

Jiu'er's voice echoed. "I can't sense clearly, It seems like the resentment has faded or escaped."

Shen Tian seemed to be deep in thought. He came to where the Divine Devouring Vine was originally at and blew the smoke and dust away.

He saw a huge hole in that place as it was bombarded by his attacks just now. In the center of the hole was a tiny vine. However, that tiny vine was already full of injuries, and milky white juice was flowing out of it.

The milky white juice was emitting a rich pleasant fragrance that made the desire within Shen Tian increase even more.

Shen Tian carefully controlled the floating Lotus Shooting Gun to poke that tiny vine, ensuring that there were no movements anymore.

Only then did he relax and take that tiny vine into his hands. "Just why did you choose to come back?"

Frankly speaking, there was no grudge between Shen Tian and Lu Ji as from her point of view, she was not wrong.

However, the discussion of right or wrong in the cultivation world was no use as Lu Ji was a demon, one that ate people.

Shen Tian did not know if this tiny vine was her, reincarnating through Nirvana, or the descendant that she had created. Nonetheless, now that Shen Tian had unintentionally barged into the mountain valley, there was karma between them. Thus, he was left with only one choice—end the karmic cycle as soon as possible.

If he could not end the karmic cycle, then he should end the Divine Devouring Vine.

Since those who are not our kin are sure to be of a different heart, I will risk my life!

Although the vine was emitting a pleasant scent, Shen Tian was still hesitating whether to eat it or not. It did indeed look quite delicious, and the Tinder Sutra's energy was also desiring this vine extremely much so. Most importantly, Shen Tian had drunk a large amount of the Divine Binding Vine's juices previously, and they did not seem to be poisonous at all. Thus, the vines of the Divine Devouring Vine should be harmless!

At that thought, Shen Tian decided to try a little bit first. If he was alright, then he would eat more.

He gently swiped a small drop of the milky white liquid from the Divine Devouring Vine's wound and drank it.

Hmm... It's sour and sweet. There's also a light taste of milk, very similar to the Nutri-Express Yogurt Drink's vanilla taste.

More importantly, as the drop of milky white juice was swallowed, a surge of energy exploded within Shen Tian. It was the Spirit Qi energy that belonged to the Wood attribute. It contained extremely rich and pure vitality that made him feel comfortable throughout.

Although Shen Tian could still cultivate, he had suffered Qi Deviation 88 times, so some internal injuries still remained. Actually, Shen Tian's body and dantian had different degrees of internal injuries. Such internal injuries were extremely troublesome and difficult to be healed.

However, after drinking that drop of vine juice, Shen Tian could feel that these internal injuries were healing.

The vine juice was like the essence of life energy that surged through every acupoint in his body. Wherever that energy passed, all the internal injuries would gradually heal. It's just the amount was too little, so it was not enough.

Shen Tian sensed it in detail for a long time and realized that, indeed, this type of juice was harmless and beneficial. Therefore, he took a deep breath and started devouring the vines of the Divine Devouring Vine carefully.

One had to say, the taste of the miniature Divine Devouring Vine was much more delicious than the Divine Binding Vines.

After bitting the vine gently, the sweet and fragrant milky white juice filled his mouth. Immediately after, an abundance of energy surged throughout his body—it was astoundingly nourishing.

In that instant, Shen Tian felt like he was in paradise!

Soon, Shen Tian completely devoured the Divine Devouring Vine. He checked carefully and discovered that there were no adverse effects in his body. On the contrary, Shen Tian felt that his body was unprecedentedly comfortable and light—there was no discomfort anymore.

Also, he could vaguely feel that after the energy passed through his whole body, it gathered toward his liver area, as if going to gush out!

Such a feeling was similar to when Shen Tian had devoured the First Essence Heavy Water but much gentler.

Shen Tian finally put his heart at rest and sat crossed-legged in the mountain valley, taking out the previous vines. Subsequently, he took a few spirit fruit platters and fresh meat of demon beasts out of his Archeon Sea Ring.

After taking out the stone box, he opened the cover and revealed the Nan Ming Li Fire's Origin within. Then, he carefully roasted the beast meat. As he controlled the distance of the fire and adjusted it to the correct temperature, drops of golden grease permeated from the surface of the beast meat very quickly.

Shen Tian then scattered seasonings, such as cumin and chili powder, onto the meat. Instantly, a rich fragrance of meat appeared.

Afterward, he attached First Essence Heavy Water onto his Jade Water Sword and sliced open the spirit fruits and vines. Plates of exquisite fruits and vegetables appeared in front of Shen Tian, and they looked mouth-watering.

With meat, vegetables, and fruits, this was what a high-end cuisine was!

Shen Tian then took a table out of his Archeon Sea Ring and placed all the food onto it.

Honestly, Shen Tian was tired, as too many things had happened. Therefore, next was the moment of enjoying the fruits of his victory.

After a bite of meat, he took a bite of fruits and vines. He occasionally used the Nascent Soul Divine Binding Vines to make some fruit juice.

One had to say this was a grand feast. If other people in the cultivation world were to see this sight, their jaws would drop from astonishment as those were Divine Binding Vines. Others who had painstakingly found one would take the utmost care to refine those Divine Binding Vine into Dharma artifacts!

Even if they were to eat the Divine Binding Vines, they would combine the Divine Binding Vines with all kinds of rare treasures and make a supreme-grade pill.

Yet, Shen Tian was just directly eating them, like they were sweet potatoes, or even making them into juice to directly drink. It was simply too wasteful. Even Supremacies' heart would bleed at such an action!

Shen Tian felt that the energy stored within his body reached a maximum after devouring all the Divine Devouring Vines. The extremely pure energy surged toward his liver area, exploding into all directions with his liver as the epicenter.

In that instant, a radiant emerald vine shot out of Shen Tian's right wrist toward the ground.

Boom!

A small clear hole appeared on the ground as the vine had pierced deeply into the ground like a spear.

Shen Tian could feel that his casual strike just now could be compared to that of a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator. Also, that was just an unintentional attack, not one with his full strength.

He could confirm that the energy within him was extremely obedient, and he could use it like his own arm.

Shen Tian started carefully exploring the ways to use the energy and quickly gained some insight. He took a deep breath, stretched out his right hand, and the emerald vine suddenly shot out, as if it was a whip. Its surface was covered in a layer of silvery-white light that belonged to the luster of the First Essence Heavy Water.

Water nourishes Wood...

In that instant, the Divine Devouring Vine seemed to become even tougher, like a whip and a spear!

He swung it toward the ground, and the whole ground trembled. Even Shen Tian felt shocked and puzzled due to his power. That was because he felt that such a normal strike could even... heavily injure or kill a Golden Core Perfected One!

Chapter 159: Zhao Hao, You're Really A Nice Person

The town outside of Fog City had already been turned into ruins. Previously, when the Spirit Fog Tide had devoured Fog City, this town had been destroyed first.

As Zhao Hao walked through the town filled with corpses, he could not help but be terrified. His cultivation level had recovered now. He held a heavy sword Dharma artifact, and his Dharmic power was vigorous and firm.

There was a ball of Nan Ming Li Fire burning violently within him, which could be used to kill enemies—it was the nemesis of demons.

These were the reasons why he dared to head to Fog Town to find Shen Tian.

Zhao Hao was painstakingly searching for Shen Tian in the town, but to no avail, when he suddenly heard a cry—a woman's call for help. Her voice was filled with so much panic and fear that it made one could not help but want to save her.

Zhao Hao took a deep breath and activated his Dharmic powers. Then red afterimages were formed as he charged toward the direction of the sound. He spotted a purple Wolf Demon chasing a woman in white, and it was about to reach and bite the woman to death.

Zhao Hao shouted and suddenly threw his heavy sword toward that Wolf Demon. The sword pierced through the air and slashed through the Wolf Demon.

"Awo, awo, awooo!"

The Wolf Demon let out a painful howl as its waist was sliced and fresh blood splashed out.

Wolves had copper heads, iron bones, and tofu waists. Even if they became demon beasts, their waists were still their weakness. Now that its waist was slashed, the Wolf Demon let out a tragic howl and ran away since it was badly injured. It was a cowardly one.

Zhao Hao stretched his right hand toward the heavy sword on the ground, and then it abruptly flew back into his hand before he sheathed it into the scabbard behind him.

Zhao Hao revealed a smile, which he thought was handsome and charming. "Miss, you don't need to worry anymore. The demon has already run away."

The woman in white stopped running, and her dirty face revealed the joy of surviving.

She looked at Zhao Hao, and astonishment filled her face. "It's you?"

The familiar voice stunned Zhao Hao. He carefully stared at the woman in white and sudden realization dawned upon him.

Zhao Hao recognized the woman. She was none other than Hidden Fog Country's Princess—Xue Wuxia.

The smile on Zhao Hao's face instantly disappeared since he did not have a harmonious relationship with her. Instead, there was quite a grudge between them.

Xue Wuxia looked at the awe-inspiring Zhao Hao, carrying a heavy sword behind him, and the expression on her dirty face became complicated.

This was the young man who had said, "Fortune was in the east of the bank 30 years ago, but turned to the west when 30 years have passed.", when his engagement with her had been broken off.

At that time, she had not bothered about what he had said. Who would have thought he had really achieved it!?

Now, Zhao Hao had recovered his cultivation and talent, becoming the best genius in the Hidden Fog Country once again.

Meanwhile, she had encountered the Divine Binding Vines' attacks when heading to Fog Town, and only after the sacrifices of her protectors could she hide safely.

Now that the spirit fog dispersed, Xue Wuxia came out of the concealing array but was chased by a demon beast. She was then very awkwardly saved by Zhao Hao.

Xue Wuxia, who was originally superior to him, was in an awful state now, and it made her feel ashamed. However, Xue Wuxia was not ungrateful as no matter what, Zhao Hao had saved her. Thus, she was willing to apologize for what she had done and thank him!

Xue Wuxia took a deep breath. "Thank you for saving me, regardless of what I did before."

Zhao Hao looked at Xue Wuxia coldly. "No need to thank me. If I knew that the one being chased was you, I might not have saved you."

Xue Wuxia did not get angry. "I was wrong for breaking off the engagement. I'm sorry. From now on, I owe you my life.

"I wish to reciprocate you for saving my life, but I've already given my heart to Master Celestial. We are definitely not destined in this life.

"If we are fated to meet in the next life, then I'm willing to become your servant to repay you."

Xue Wuxia's eyes were sincere and earnest.

At that moment, Zhao Hao felt a little embarrassed to be angry.

Since he had seen Shen Tian's appearance, not to mention Xue Wuxia being a woman, if Zhao Hao were a woman, he would most likely not be able to withstand Shen Tian's charm. It was very normal for Xue Wuxia to be unwilling to marry Zhao Hao because of her ancestors' marriage arrangement after witnessing Shen Tian's handsome looks.

Zhao Hao's cultivation had been restored thanks to Shen Tian's help, and he owed him big time, so he did not think that the grudge between him and Xue Wuxia mattered much anymore.

If they could not become a married couple, then they should just become good friends. They both had the same idol, which was Shen Tian, anyway. To true fans, as long as the idol they were chasing was the same, then there was nothing that could not be forgiven and forgotten!

Zhao Hao asked, "Princess, have you seen Master Celestial?"

Xue Wuxia shook her head. "I was in the town the whole time, but I did not see Master Celestial."

Her face was full of admiration. "I heard that Master Celestial had predicted the calamity that befell the Fog Plain. I guess Master Celestial must have entered the Fog Plain's depths to solve the root of the problem."

Zhao Hao seemed to be deep in thought.

Since Brother Shen could so accurately predict that I would obtain my fortuitous opportunity and restore my cultivation and talent, then it would be impossible for a simple disaster caused by demon vines to threaten Brother Shen.

My misjudgment was because I was too worried about Brother Shen. My actions are simply laughable!

Zhao Hao heaved a sigh of relief.

"Princess, Fog Town does not seem to be very safe yet. Let me escort you back to Fog City."

Zhao Hao's actions, which showed he had forgiven what she had done previously, intensified Xue Wuxia's shame. "Zhao Hao, you're really a nice person. You'll find your happiness."

Zhao Hao nodded. "I heard that you had met Master Celestial when you were at the Country of Fire. Could you tell me more about his deeds? Truthfully speaking, it's all because of Master Celestial that I could restore my cultivation. Thus, I'm very curious about him!"

Upon hearing Zhao Hao's words, Xue Wuxia was all the more regretful for not meeting him earlier. "You want to know the stories about Master Celestial?"

"Which aspect do you want to know? I am the Celievers' most devout member. How about I refer you to the elders, and you also enter the Celievers!?"

Zhao Hao's eyes instantly lit up. "That... Is it really possible?"

Shen Tian, who was at the mountain valley, sneezed.

I'm not sure why, but I keep feeling that someone is praising how handsome I am behind my back.

Shen Tian put away the vines and closed his eyes to sense his internal body's condition. At that moment, he was extremely relieved.

Although the adventure at the mountain valley was alarmingly dangerous, his gains were bountiful. It could be said to be a super-rich harvest.

Not only did he obtain numerous supreme treasures, such as Divine Binding Vines and Nirvana Holy Liquid, but his cultivation level had also significantly increased.

Due to partially refining his golden core, Shen Tian's dantian's Dharmic Foundation had started to evolve. The Divine Emblems, which the heavenly tribulation had assisted to form, made Shen Tian's Dharmic power even purer.

Currently, the Dharmic power within Shen Tian had risen several times, and the power of his Five Elements Divine Lightning had also increased to the extreme.

What was more important was that Shen Tian could completely control the Divine Lightning Origin within him, and correspondingly, the Five Elements Divine Lightning was strengthened. That was reflected in Shen Tian's five avatars as they had grown a few times bigger than before. They had also started to emit the aura that belonged to real divine beasts.

Although his cultivation level was still only mid-stage Foundation Establishment, Shen Tian had the confidence to fight with a Golden Core cultivator due to his Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique.

Besides partially refining his golden core, Shen Tian's Godfiend cultivation was the one that had improved the most. His physical body had evolved to the Yang Divine Lightning body, and he had also grasped a few new super battle forms:

Exploding Lightning Saiyan form, Blood Burning Saiyan form, Dual Vat Saiyan form!

Purple Golden Hammer form, Black Tortoise Shield form, Shield Hammer form!

Heavy Water Enhancement form, Divine Devouring Vine form, Water Vine form!

Also, by stacking his defense to the maximum, he had developed—the Ultimate Defense Protection form!

These were all the hidden tricks up his sleeves, focusing on close-combat-quarter battles.

If other geniuses of the same generation felt that Shen Tian's ranged attacks were too powerful and wanted to have a close-combat-quarter battle... Then after they get close, they would discover... Shen Tian's real expertise and battle prowess!

Chapter 160: Spirit Stone Vein, Divine Juice Wine

Although Shen Tian had grasped numerous new forms this time, he still decided to keep as many hidden as possible. He definitely would not reveal them all since the cultivation world followed the survival-of-the-fittest mindset. He had a higher chance of survival, the more trump cards he concealed.

If one displayed only battle prowess of the Foundation Establishment stage, then a Golden Core cultivator's powers would be enough when they encountered dangers.

If Shen Tian revealed all of his strength, then once someone targeted him, it would be catastrophic for him.

After this experience in the Fog Plain, Shen Tian had understood the importance of the strategy to be steady and hide one's weakness even more. If he were given another chance, he definitely would not take the risk and come look for treasures alone.

Shen Tian ate the delicacies, so he sorted the benefits he had reaped and prepared to leave.

At that moment, he suddenly felt a distending pain in his head—a special bloodline heritage memory suddenly appeared in Shen Tian's mind!

In that instant, Shen Tian felt that he had become a vine, a huge vine that pierced through the sky. His body was enshrouded by layers of thick spirit fog, which completely covered his body, making him mysterious and unpredictable.

As long as he was willing, his whole body could move through the ground at will—his speed was even faster than demon beasts. Such a feeling was very strange as Shen Tian could vaguely feel that he too seemed able to achieve something like that!

It was unknown how much time had passed when Shen Tian opened his eyes. He tried to merge the imprints within the depths of his mind, gradually stretched out his right hand and released a Divine Devouring Vine. Soon, his body was filled with spirit fog.

Shen Tian could clearly sense that although the amount of spirit fog he released was far lesser than the Fog Plain, the spirit fog's nature was completely the same. It could also block the cultivators' sensory abilities and completely hide one's body.

This was definitely a surprise to Shen Tian as the Divine Devouring Vine's coordination with the First Essence Heavy Water was already an extremely powerful combination. Now, with the spirit fog's support, it would make the originally mysterious Water Vine's attack even more fearsome.

Shen Tian imagined that when battling, the moment he released the spirit fog to enshroud his opponent, he would be undefeatable. Afterward, he would hide within the spirit fog and use the powerful Heavy Water and Divine Devouring Vine to ambush them. Thus, even if it were mid-stage Golden Core cultivators, they could easily be defeated.

That was the first special ability that Shen Tian had obtained after absorbing the Divine Devouring Vine—releasing spirit fog, and the effects were quite good.

Meanwhile, the second special ability that Shen Tian had obtained was to strengthen Earth Escape.

Many earth-attribute cultivators would choose Dharma techniques, such as Earth Movement, to escape. However, not every type of Earth Movement technique's speed was swift, and some were simply outrageously slow.

Shen Tian's special ability allowed him to traverse the ground as a Divine Devouring Vine, and his speed could even be compared to that of Sword Kinesis Flight. If he encountered powerful enemies that he could not escape from through the sky, Shen Tian could totally escape through the ground.

"A skill that can save my own neck, very good!"

Shen Tian deemed this skill even more important than the Lightning Exploding Qi, and that was because he did not like risking his life. Instead, self-protection was of utmost importance.

In the future, if he really encountered enemies he could not resist, he would use the spirit fog to hide and then Earth Escape to run away. Even if the opponent was a presence comparable to Supremacies, they might not be able to chase after Shen Tian within a short time!

Since Shen Tian was a person that had the courage to put things into practice, he decided to try it.

He followed the path shown in the imprint within his mind and gathered his energy. In that instant, Shen Tian felt as though the soil beneath his feet seemed to have turned into liquid. His body was rapidly pulled into the ground without any obstacles under the Divine Devouring Vine's guidance.

Shen Tian could even vaguely sense that his Earth Escape's speed was even faster than Sword Kinesis Flight. He could not help but exclaim that the world was so big that nothing should be surprising anymore.

If not for Lu Ji's desire to enter the Tribulation Transcendence stage, which had forced her to come out to transcend the tribulation and become a Sage, only a few people in the Eastern Wilderness could threaten her. Even if she could not defeat those few people, she would be able to escape. It was a pity that the Divine Devouring Vine belonged to Shen Tian now.

Shen Tian used all his strength to activate the Ground Burrowing technique, and he completely disappeared. He started transversing through the ground hurriedly as if he could not sense even a slight obstacle; such an experience was marvelous.

Suddenly, Shen Tian started to have a strong desire for something. The Tinder Sutra within him seemed to have sensed something and was agitated.

Shen Tian seemed to be deep in thought. He carefully armed himself to the teeth and headed toward that direction. As he got closer in that direction, Shen Tian could feel that his consumption for traversing within the ground was increasing. So much so that it was as if he was moving forward within a swamp, taking each step with much difficulty. He had to consume a large amount of Divinity to advance just a bit.

Finally, he seemingly broke through a thin invisible barrier, passed through a stone wall, and entered a large space. This was a secret underground room that was hundreds of meters wide, and hard rocks completely covered it.

Shen Tian could clearly see that beside the room was a... huge Spirit Stone Vein.

That's right—a Spirit Stone Vein!

A Spirit Stone Vein that even sacred grounds would view as an important core resource!

To think that such a small-scale Spirit Stone Vein was actually hidden in the depths of the Fog Plain.

Although its scale could not be compared to those veins in Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, its value was definitely immeasurable.

It was because there had been a huge amount of Spirit Qi that Lu Ji could grow for thousands of years. This had enabled her to attempt to transcend the tribulation.

If he could bring the Spirit Stone Vein along, it would definitely be a huge gain to current Shen Tian.

Of course, Shen Tian did not have the thoughts of bringing this vein by himself. It was unrealistic since it was even difficult for Soul Formation cultivators to move it. As such, rather than keeping it a secret and risk it being discovered by other providence-blessed people in the future, it was better to directly report it to the sacred ground.

Let the sacred's ground top powerful figures to move it. I'll ask for some profits in return.

It was still the same old words—Shen Tian had lacked money. Money was just numbers to him. Safety was first!

He carefully walked inside the vein's space. Evidently, this was where Lu Ji had been living.

Shen Tian followed the secret underground room and advanced slowly before finding another room.

Lu Ji either seemed to not have known how to set up array formations or maybe she felt that there would be no problem with her presiding over here, so no defensive arrays were protecting this room.

The room was filled with numerous jugs of Divine Wine, old ones at that.

Shen Tian took a jug and opened it. He saw that it was filled with milky white liquid and emitted a rich wine scent. Obviously, these were all brewed using the Divine Devouring Vine's juices.

Shen Tian roughly calculated, and there seemed to be hundreds of jugs!

The Divine Juice Wine overflowed with an abundance of Spirit Qi and was extremely beneficial to cultivators. Even Sword Venerable Qian Yang, a peak Soul Formation cultivator, coveted the Divine Juice Wine. These jugs were extremely precious.

It was a pity that Shen Tian was the type that would get drunk in just one cup, so he dared not anyhow drink the wine. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if he got drunk and forgot what he did within that period of time.

Although I don't like drinking wine, collecting good stuff is the absolute choice! I'll take them all!

After deciding so, Shen Tian moved those jugs into his Archeon Sea Ring one by one.

Shen Tian vaguely remembered that Li Changge was a drunkard. Who knew if his father, Li Canglan, liked to drink too.

If he also likes drinking, then when I meet him, I will be able to curry favor with him by giving him a jug or two of Divine Juice Wine, right?

Yeap, these jugs of Divine Juice Wine are very suitable to be given as gifts or when receiving guests. No matter what, this is the wine brewed by using the Divine Devouring Vine, which is ranked 9th in the Spiritual Wood List.

Only a few people in the whole cultivation world could afford to accept such hospitality.

Indeed, after my halo became greener, my luck is also better. I'm even able to obtain such precious treasures!

Shen Tian crazily collected all the treasures in the mountain valley.

Meanwhile, at a highland outside the mountain valley, a tiny vine, about five centimeters long, was emitting resentment. It looked toward the mountain valley and snarled through her divine consciousness, its voice sounding young.

"That detestable evil woman! Don't think that you will be fine by just concealing your aura! I have etched you in my memory—blue battle armor and red mask!

"You actually dared to snatch my Nirvana Holy Liquid.

"Ahhh! I will definitely find you to take revenge! Definitely!!!"

That five-centimeter-long vine kept on jumping in anger. It was stamping with fury!
